The Intelligent Machine Rebellion Does Not Exist

"I still think you shouldn't leave your residence so rashly at a time like this."

Standing by the hot springs, the CIA agent in the black suit said helplessly to the person he was protecting.

"Don't be so tense. I trust your security capabilities."

Lin Feng casually sipped his wine, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji while soaking in the hot springs.

Mount Fuji, located southeast of Edo, is Japan's highest peak, resembling an ancient, ornate folding fan hanging upside down in the sky, with its snow-capped peak as the ribs and the verdant mountain forests as the fan surface.

It had to be said, the location of this hot spring inn was excellent. Immersed in the spring water, enjoying the magnificent view of Mount Fuji, the steaming water vapor created a dreamy, misty atmosphere, bringing an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

Ah, to hell with ETO, to hell with Three-Body…

Enjoying himself, Lin Feng's gaze fell upon the CIA agent beside him, and he felt a pang of guilt.

After all, he was working under him, and his current safety was thanks to the security work carried out by these CIA agents. They were risking their lives for his peace.

"Don't just stand there watching. Come in and soak too. The hot springs here are world-renowned and very beneficial for your health. They not only improve physical well-being but also offer multiple benefits like medical care and beauty enhancement," Lin Feng suggested.

"Thank you for your kind offer, but we still need to ensure your safety." A flicker of joy flashed in the CIA agent's eyes, but he still refused Lin Feng's suggestion.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and understood. The CIA was, after all, a legitimate intelligence agency of America with strict operational protocols. If he had asked so openly, most of these CIA agents would likely not agree.

Lin Feng got out of the hot spring, put on his bathrobe, and said, "I'm done soaking. You and the others can take turns soaking when you change shifts. People need rest and relaxation to perform at their best."

"Is this part of the plan?" the CIA agent asked.

Lin Feng nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes, it's part of the plan. Since we're in Japan, let's enjoy ourselves."

"Thank you. I'll inform the others of your arrangements."

The CIA agent thanked Lin Feng gratefully. Seeing Lin Feng's enjoyment, it was impossible to say that the agents didn't want to soak in the Mount Fuji hot springs.

In the corridor leading back to his room, a cylindrical robot, only reaching an adult's waist, came towards Lin Feng.

[Guest, your dinner is ready.] the robot's electronic voice sounded.

Service robots, with the vigorous promotion of Lin Feng's Intelligent Revolution, the commercialization of intelligent AI had accelerated, and AI robots capable of simple tasks appeared in large numbers on the market.

Although there were some minor issues, such as various blunders caused by insufficient AI intelligence, these were minor matters.

Like the robot Lin Feng encountered now, it was responsible for simple tasks like serving dishes and giving massages.

"Mm, I know."

Sighing at how quickly times were changing, Lin Feng bypassed the robot and returned to his room.

He opened his Apple computer and started a video call with his team.

On the other side of the video was an old man with white hair and black-rimmed glasses. This person was Golin Davis, the expert in AI programming on Lin Feng's team.

"Did you get all the data?" Lin Feng asked.

"Yes, we got it. With this, the time required for research on enabling intelligent AI to perform complex tasks can be greatly reduced."

Davis habitually pushed his black-rimmed glasses up his nose, a smile on his face.

Clearly, the backup data Lin Feng had requested from Wallfacer Bill Shiens this time had put him in a very good mood.

Compared to Davis's good mood, Lin Feng still had a layer of concern in his heart.

"…Actually, I'm a bit worried that with the high development of AI, we might encounter a robot rebellion like in sci-fi movies, like Skynet from Terminator, invading various weapon systems."

Although Lin Feng strongly promoted intelligent AI, it didn't mean he had no concerns.

He had seen Terminator, after all. AI seizing human weapon systems and launching nuclear attacks.

The reason Lin Feng dared to promote intelligent AI so confidently was not because he was particularly bold, but because this was a technology that future humans would develop in the original Three-Body novel, and it had never caused any robot crises or Skynet-level world destruction.

"Hehehe, you don't need to worry about that."

"You have these concerns because you don't understand the internet or programming protocols. That kind of thing is basically impossible. It's just cinematic sci-fi for dramatic effect, performances that completely violate objective logic."

Davis chuckled dismissively. Lin Feng's current questions were ones that some of Davis's friends had asked him before, so he had already thought about them.

Lin Feng frowned and asked in confusion.

"Violate logic?"

Knowing that Lin Feng was seeking an answer to alleviate his doubts, Davis explained.

"Do you know the essence of the internet? So many computers globally, different versions, different XP systems, why can they all connect compatibly to form a network?"

"I don't know."

Lin Feng shook his head frankly.

Davis habitually pushed his black-rimmed glasses up his nose and continued, "The essence of the internet is protocols. A vast network composed of numerous protocols. For computer A to remotely control computer B via the network, the prerequisite is that computer B has a 'confirmation button'."

"Network viruses were born for this reason. Viruses trick or deceive the owner of computer B into clicking confirmation, and then downloading the virus."

"If a computer has never downloaded anything, and is simply connected to the network, even the most skilled hacker can't invade and control it remotely. It's like controlling objects telekinetically, completely metaphysical. Neither AI nor humans can do it."

Lin Feng understood Davis's meaning. The prerequisite for controlling a computer was that there had to be a related control program inside the computer. But the problem was, control programs couldn't appear out of thin air, right?

So, it had to be downloaded, which was a prerequisite for invading the global internet.

However, the download operation could only be completed by the owner of the computer. Were all the netizens in the world fools, who would click download on data packets they knew were problematic and damage their own computers?

The reason hackers have zombie computers is that they have already secretly invaded these computers with viruses and left backdoors, allowing them to easily control these computers.

Davis added, "Not to mention weapon systems. Every country's military has its own Network Force. Every character in their weapon systems is written by their own top programmers. By physically disconnecting from the internet, they won't come into contact with any information from the internet…"
