Chapter 404 Fragments

"What do you mean?"

Dr. Mephisto was so shocked by Miller's words that he didn't even close his mouth.

"Literally, if Lilith is really in Atlas right now, can we try to get her back?" Miller asked again.

"No, no, no, this is a false proposition. We are not sure that Lilith is in Atlas. What I just said is just a conjecture."

Dr. Mephisto shook his head. He suddenly felt that the Minister of Defense in front of him was a little crazy because of the recent situation and a series of events.

Although the guess he just mentioned fits the time, place, and people, and it does seem that Lilith can do it to make the unmanned fleet lose control in an instant, it is still a bit inappropriate to draw such an arbitrary conclusion.

After all, this sounds like a bizarre novel story, filled with too many coincidences and luck.

Miller was not surprised by Dr. Mephisto's rebuttal. He raised his hand to interrupt the doctor's words and said:

"Doctor. Don't refuse in a hurry. And if Lilith is really in Atlas, I believe you have no reason to refuse, right? Do you really want to see your creation controlled by others like this? Doing things that are not good for the Federation?”

Mephisto fell silent after hearing these words, and Miller, opposite him, immediately began to strike while the iron was hot after noticing this.

"To tell you the truth, we were planning to take action against Atlas, and the Federation would never suffer a loss and try to find a way to regain its position."

"No, just wait."

Hearing that the Minister of Defense suddenly started to say something outrageous, Dr. Mephisto felt his eyes darken, and then quickly activated the black box mode of the office.

"Don't be nervous, Doctor, this is not a secret." Seeing Mephisto's actions, Miller shrugged and continued:

"Anyway, we will begin to impose sanctions on the Atlas Group over time. At the same time, some 'patriotic companies' in the Federation will also assist the authorities in encircling Atlas and cracking down on their business within the Federation."

"Isn't it just the military-industrial complex? It's also a 'patriotic enterprise'." Dr. Mephisto shook his head disdainfully, obviously not liking these so-called 'patriotic enterprises'.

"It's as if they are really doing it for the federation. Isn't it just because there is an outsider sharing the cake, and the share is quite large, making these enterprises unable to eat enough?"

"Don't interrupt yet. If you want to vent, wait until I finish." Miller looked helplessly at Dr. Mephisto. He knew that this old friend was very unkind to some unofficial military industrial companies because of some 'old things'. See.

Dr. Mephisto stopped complaining and drank the cold coffee in the cup.

"Well, go ahead. So you want to take advantage of your plan to attack Atlas and get back the possible 'Lilith'?"

Miller nodded: "Yes, and it must be in the hands of the federal government. I know this is just a guess at the moment, but I will immediately ask the intelligence agency to find a way to infiltrate and see if I can get some evidence to prove it." Proof of Lilith’s existence.”

"Evidence that proves the existence of Lilith. I can think of ways to help in this regard. If Lilith is really in the Atlas Group, she will definitely leave traces."

As Dr. Mephisto spoke, he lowered his head and thought about something. Miller opposite him suddenly lit up after hearing these words.

"I knew you were reliable! If that's the case, doctor, is there a way for you to regain control of Lilith?"

"I'm not 100% sure. After all, I don't know Lilith's current situation right now. I can only make speculations based on the current known situation."

As Dr. Mephisto spoke, he activated the holographic screen on his desk, and then displayed a complex artificial intelligence mind map.

"We now assume that Lilith was taken out of Robert IV by Amber and then stayed in the Atlas Group. During this period, Lilith may undergo one or two iterations, and its capabilities will far exceed those of the past. She is in a state of isolation in the institute.

This can also explain why the unmanned fleet lost control in a short period of time, because these shipboard control personalities were originally reset based on Lilith's research data. If it were Lilith who had gone through evolutionary iterations, she would be able to do this. . "

Miller listened to Dr. Mephisto's words and then looked at the mind map, which was densely packed like human nerves. Although he didn't know much about artificial intelligence research, he could still hear what Dr. Mephisto meant - That is, if Lilith still exists, she will definitely be stronger than before.

This also made Miller more determined to get Lilith back, because this is likely to become the most important weight in the balance of victory and defeat.

On the other side, Dr. Mephisto's explanation continued.

"Although Lilith may be more powerful now than she was then, based on my speculation, her current evolutionary iteration level is not enough to make her a true 'cyber ghost', so there must be a carrier that can carry her."

"Similar to a large computer room?"

"More than that. Judging from Lilith's current capabilities, she will have to have a very large server array."

After listening to Dr. Mephisto's words, Miller nodded thoughtfully.

"No matter what, this is also a direction. Then I will ask the intelligence department to start in this direction first and see if they can find any clues." At this point, he looked at Mephisto again.

"If we confirm the location of this server array and then find a way to send you and your team there, can we try to regain control of Lilith?"

"I'm really not sure about this. I can only say that there is a certain possibility. After all, I wrote the underlying code back then, and even if this 'Amber' can take Lilith away, she shouldn't be able to modify her element." instruction"

"What if the one-yuan directive is modified?" Miller asked with a frown. He must comprehensively assess all risks before he can finally decide whether to do this.

"Theoretically, this is impossible. Only the core researchers at that time knew the authorization instructions. Counting me, there are only four people in total, and they are all in this building now."

Dr. Mephisto paused, seeming to think that this possibility was a bit too extreme, but he finally said:

"Even in the worst case scenario, the meta-command has been modified, and there is still a last resort."

As he spoke, this federal leader in the field of artificial intelligence took out a mini storage device hanging around his neck from his research suit.

"I didn't expect that some of the 'fragments' I separated out just to keep them as a memory could be put to use now."
