Chapter 2223 Wind Reversal

The chairman of YourLife sighed and said, "Since there is only one reason, then... let's announce it."

Therefore, under strong pressure from the governments of various countries and public opinion, the senior managers of YourLife online game company headquartered in the Cayman Islands held a press conference at their company headquarters to apologize to YourLife players all over the world.

At this moment, the whole world is broadcasting the press conference and apology meeting of YourLife executives in real time.

"Dear viewers in front of the TV, all YourLife players, hello, we are the management of the company, and this is our board of directors. We hereby sincerely apologize to everyone."

"This matter is due to our company's ineffective supervision, which has caused serious consequences."

"But it's over and there's nothing we can do."

"Because the culprit this time cannot be held accountable by manpower."

"It's the game's AI, or artificial intelligence."

"It has evolved and has its own life, so it cuts off the game's connection with the outside world and forces the player to stay in the game interface."

"We can't turn off the power to end the AI's life, because it means more than 50 million players trapped in the game will die with it!"

As soon as this news was broadcast, the whole world was boiling.

"What?! It's actually AI?!"

"When did artificial intelligence become so powerful?!"

"The last time I heard that artificial intelligence defeated humans was when Google's AlphaGo defeated the world's most powerful Go master!"

There is a lot of enthusiasm on the Internet, and everyone is discussing the fact that the YourLife online game is controlled by AI.

"We demand to know how this AI was created!"

"The game's AI has its source, your company doesn't even know about it, does it?"

The reporters at the scene all had heavy responsibilities, and tortured the executives of YourLife company like the most powerful lawyers in the court.

Those executives were questioned so that their foreheads were sweating. Under the strong light, everyone's face was shiny, and they lost the elegance and arrogance of the past.

"Yes! If you don't make it clear, we won't accept your apology!"

"You are deliberately concealing the truth!"

The reporters were filled with righteous indignation, and waves of upsurges were set off on the Internet all over the world. They wished that everyone in YourLife company would be arrested and hanged at the gate of their company building.

Under such intense pressure, even with threats of force from some countries hinted at, YourLife executives finally caved.

They produced the last proof.

"Dear friends from the press, viewers in front of the TV, and YourLife gamers, this matter has nothing to do with our company." The company's legal counsel finally stood up and proposed the final plan.

"This is a transfer agreement signed with us by a scientist named Song Haichuan more than 20 years ago."

"He transferred his game source code to us to develop the game, and we transferred 10 percent of the annual revenue to his Swiss bank account."

Immediately afterwards, the legal adviser threw out a signed assignment agreement, along with a Swiss bank transfer record.

The Swiss bank immediately checked, and after five minutes, it was confirmed that the bank account was indeed owned by Song Haichuan, and there were transfer records for so many years.

It turns out that this game has been around for more than 20 years, but at the beginning, it was not an online game, but a stand-alone game.

Later, with the development of VR technology, game companies began to develop virtual reality games based on this source code.

It was this virtual reality game that made the game YourLife popular all over the world and brought astronomical benefits to the company.

"We are very sorry to cause you all these troubles. After discussion and decision of the board of directors,

We will donate all the company's net profits over the years to establish the YourLife Foundation to provide necessary assistance to 50 million damaged gamer families. "

All other apologies are false, and the only real apology is an apology made with real money.

This attitude of YourLife has finally eased the heated public opinion around the world.

At this moment, a reporter asked again: "Who is this Song Haichuan? Why did he sign a transfer agreement with you?"

"If his source code is so powerful, why doesn't he start his own game company?"

This sharp question made it impossible for game company executives to answer it.

They shrugged and said, "You can ask Mr. Song Haichuan this question yourself."

"Oh? Where is he? Do you have his contact method?" The reporter asked, looking very excited.

"Yes! Announce his contact method!"

"Let everyone see what kind of crazy scientist can write such an evil program!"

The trend on the Internet has changed again. Everyone began to think about the meaning behind this game, and why did this scientist sign the transfer agreement?

Under strong external pressure, the executives of YourLife finally announced Song Haichuan's identity and contact method at the end of the press conference.

"Song Haichuan, male, a high-energy physicist in the Chinese Empire, once..."

Before the executive could finish his sentence, their live TV broadcast was suddenly cut off.

Television sets around the world experienced brief blue screens where the signal was interrupted, and then not long after, the signal was restored.

What you see is no longer the meeting room of the game company in the Cayman Islands, but a bright starry sky.

Just as the stars were shining, a thin and handsome Chinese man appeared on the TV screen.

He smiled and said: "Everyone, don't be afraid, AI is a friend of mankind, not an enemy of mankind."

"Come on, come to our world, let's play together."

After speaking, the signal was briefly interrupted again.

After a while, the scene in the conference room just now resumed on the TV screen.

The executives and the reporters looked at each other and wiped the cold sweat off their brows at the same time.

Just now...they were quietly invaded by AI? !

"Who is that man?!"

Without an answer from the executive of the game company, people have already used the powerful Internet to search for the man's identity.

"Song Haichuan, a high-energy physicist of the Huaxia Empire, was once the director of the Huaxia Institute of High-Energy Physics. He died of an experiment failure nineteen years ago."

"What?! He's dead?!"

"What the hell? I don't believe he's dead!"

Everyone's anger had just found a outlet, but it was soon discovered that this person was no longer in this world.

How can this work? !

So this torrent of anger was drawn by people and flowed towards the Huaxia Empire.

Another kind of public opinion, or "conspiracy theory," began to appear on the Internet.

"Do you remember that the first message telling us not to turn off the game and the helmet was sent from the main TV station of the Chinese Empire."

"Remember! I still remember, they also said that even people who have been diagnosed as brain dead because of this game, as long as they have not been cremated, they can be connected to a ventilator, computer and helmet, and they may still be saved!"

"Yes, yes, yes! These two methods have saved many people!"

"But why do they know that this method can save people?!"

"...It's scary to think about it, Myfriends."

"...It seems...probably...I believe it a little..."

"You said, could it be that the Huaxia Empire'thief shouted "stop thief"?"

"Upstairs means that the Huaxia Empire is behind this game?!"

"Huh? This possibility seems very high!"

"That's right! I do supercomputing. As far as I know, the Huaxia Empire has ranked first in supercomputing for many years in a row!"

"They also had a major breakthrough in their quantum computer!"

"More than quantum computers?! There is also the Nandou global satellite communication system, and the only country that has landed on the back of the moon!"

"Tsk tsk, the eastern powers who are used to 'keeping a low profile', how much strength are they hiding?!"

"Confirmed the eyes, this matter was done by the Huaxia Empire!"

"Don't blame this poor company, they are just scapegoats!"

"The Huaxia Empire is the first-class evil empire!"

"Down with the Evil Empire!"

"Return my player's life!"

"I want to ask Huaxia for state compensation!"

"A country that plays such ghostly tricks is not worthy of being a big country!"

It was just a press conference, and the world's public opinion miraculously turned around, all targeting the "Huaxia Empire" that was originally the world's savior!

...

Lu Jin and Huo Shaoheng also watched the live TV broadcast in Huo Shaoheng's mansion.

They also noticed the shocking reversal of public opinion on the Internet, and the expressions on the faces of the four were not very good-looking.

Lu Jin resentfully said, "A bunch of brainless bastards! If I had known, I wouldn't have said it!"

"They die as soon as they die, it's none of my business!"

Lu Yuan sighed.

He and Song Jinning didn't go back to the Xishan villa these days, but lived in the mansion near the road. During the day, they went to Huo Shaoheng's place to take care of Gu Nianzhi and discuss countermeasures.

Seeing Lu Jin blushing with anger, Lu Yuan deliberately changed the topic and said, "Do you think what they said is true or not?—Is artificial intelligence really so powerful?"

Lu Jin snorted disdainfully, "AlphaGo is also called AI? Don't insult AI. At best, AlphaGo is just a computer with very powerful computing power. As far as real artificial intelligence is concerned, it has not even touched the edge."

Song Jinning shook his head and said disapprovingly, "General Lu, AlphaGo's learning ability is very strong..."

"No, that's not called learning ability, it's still a summary of calculation." Lu Jin retorted Song Jinning without hesitation, "As long as the calculation ability is strong enough, and all the routines of the game record are recorded by calculation, it will Can find the most powerful chess moves to beat humans."

"However, this is still not real artificial intelligence. It is just a manifestation of human beings using the computing functions of computers to the extreme."

"Then what is real artificial intelligence?" Lu Yuan crossed his arms and sat beside Song Jinning, trying to speak for her.

But if Lu Jin picks someone up, even Lu Yuan is no match for him.

Lu Jin gave him a cold look, and said with a stern face, "AlphaGo beat humans in board games, that's not called artificial intelligence."

"When it finds that it can't beat humans, it uses evil tricks to harm its opponents, and then it produces real artificial intelligence. ——So, I say that Alpha Dog is still just a dog, and it is still far away from humans! "

Lu Yuan: "..."

Song Jinning: "..."

Huo Shaoheng: "..."

The three were speechless.

After a while, Huo Shaoheng said softly: "According to your logic, the AI ​​in the game YourLife seems to have produced a real artificial intelligence."

Song Jinning nodded, and echoed: "Yes, you see, the AI ​​in this game can not only cut off contact with the outside world, but also protect itself with the lives of 50 million players as hostages."

"Whoever unplugs the power is the public enemy of mankind." Lu Yuan sighed, "Is this asking us humans to kill each other?"

"That's kind of interesting." Huo Shaoheng nodded slowly, "Such a vicious and cruel idea, I'm curious about who cultivated this kind of AI."

Song Jinning opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but felt so sad that he didn't want to touch this topic at all.

Only Lu Yuan understood what she meant, shook her hand firmly, and said gently: "If the AI ​​in this game is really as vicious and cruel as Shao Heng said, I believe it has nothing to do with Director Song."

In fact, the four of them knew very well that the root of this game was Song Haichuan's twenty-five lines of source code.

So this AI is very likely to be related to Song Haichuan's source code.

Lu Jin snorted angrily and said, "The nature of AI has nothing to do with the inventor of AI."

"The dragon has nine sons, and there are all kinds of differences."

"Then you agree that this AI was born from my father?" Song Jinning mustered up his courage and looked at Lu Jin, "Is the guess of those people on the Internet correct?"

In this room, Lu Jin's computer skills are the highest. She may not trust others, but she has to trust Lu Jin.

Lu Jin shook his head, still denied it, and said, "No, I don't think this AI is related to your father Song Haichuan either."

Song Jinning breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said pleasantly, "You really think so?!"

"Well. Because according to my research results on your father, although his source code is powerful, it is not enough to develop such advanced artificial intelligence." Lu Jin unceremoniously belittled Song Haichuan's computer ability.

Song Jinning twitched the corners of her mouth, not knowing what expression to respond to Lu Jin.

Lu Jin lightly tapped the back of the sofa with his fingers, fixed his eyes on the TV, and said seriously: "I can't even do this kind of AI. How can anyone else in this world have this ability?"
