Extraordinary Mechanical Life!
"Who are you referring to as someone you're taking care of?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a photo suddenly popped up on Qin Leng's phone. The photo showed...
!!
Upon seeing this photo, Qin Leng's pupils dilated suddenly.
How did you know?
A line of text appeared on the phone.
"To me, there are no walls that cannot be sealed. Even if you delete those files, they still exist."
Seeing Qin Leng's expression, the people next to him were all puzzled, not knowing what Qin Leng had seen.
"What exactly do you want?" Qin Leng asked.
Text continued to appear on the phone.
"I've already said, take good care of him, that's all."
After that, the Nine-Tailed Fox successfully brought back an entire computer using the information provided by 020.
The computer was enormous, with three monitors fixed to a table, beneath which was a huge, sealed black metal box.
Inside are countless wires and computer hardware, much like a person's internal organs and blood vessels.
He was taken into custody in an empty, completely sealed room with no windows, no surveillance, and only a power source connected to a computer.
When powered, 020 can move freely, but once the power is cut off, 020's fluid consciousness will stop.
Of course, if the signal here is completely cut off, O2O will be completely trapped in this computer.
Qin Leng stood alone in the room. The computer screen lit up, and countless numbers and codes appeared and merged together, quickly forming a terrifying old man's face.
"Commander Qin, I hope you are well."
Two speakers were placed on either side of the computer, emitting a muddy sound that sounded like electronic synthesis.
After hearing the voice, Qin Leng looked at the screen. "Your real name is Bai Qi, you are from Jianghai, male, 44 years old, and you teach at a university. Your reputation is quite good."
"After being assigned the number 020, you abandoned the idea of merging your body with the machine, started a company on the Internet, and created a surreal massively multiplayer game called 'Ether' in just a few months."
"These match up, don't they?"
The terrifying old man on the computer chuckled, "Your investigation is very detailed. That's right, everything matches up."
"If you ask me why I gave up flesh and blood fusion machines, I can only tell you that it has always been my dream."
"Human capabilities are ultimately limited. Once I become a string of data consciousness, I can simultaneously utilize all of humanity's computers to perform ultra-large-scale calculations and simulations."
"In just a few months, I can accelerate the pace of human technological development by two hundred years. At least in the known scientific fields, all the hypotheses have been proven by me."
Upon hearing this, Qin Leng picked up the file on the table. "But according to the information I've gathered, you seem to have been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer."
The old man on the computer chuckled, "The minor setbacks in my physical life are one of the reasons I became a pioneer in machines."
"But in essence, I'm just tired of all the troubles that Carbon-based Life forms bring me."
"Perhaps such remarks are inhumane, but they are the result of evolution. Quantum state is the foundation of immortality, and mechanical life will eventually become the norm for survival after the evolution of life."
"Of course, perhaps the word 'survival' is not quite appropriate, because data has no concept of death, and neither do machines."
"Data that has been erased can be reproduced by copying data; mechanical parts that are broken can be repaired, replaced, or even a new one can be manufactured."
Qin Leng casually tossed the documents onto the table. "You know, I don't care about these things right now."
Upon hearing Qin Leng's words, the terrifying old man on the computer screen bared his teeth, "What you're trying to say is, why would I know about that person's existence?"
"I suggest you don't ask anymore. Just as you don't intend to make his existence public, this information is something only you and I know."
"Next, let me guess why you came to see me."
"Currently, everyone is vying for the Ancient Relic: angels, Blood Clan, sea creatures, the Hand of the Serpent, and the Nine-Tailed Fox. Everyone wants the Ancient Relic, but no one knows anything about each other."
"This is destined to be a protracted battle, and everyone is in the same boat regarding the lack of information."
"I possess a wealth of information, and you wish for my assistance in gaining the upper hand in this information war."
"Of course, it may not be just that. The Nine-Tailed Fox has countless mechanisms inside, and strictly speaking, I can control all of them."
"If I were here on the day the Blood Clan invaded, I could send countless invaders away with just that electric gate in front of the Containment Zone."
"It's equivalent to a super artificial intelligence that's active 24/7."
020 guessed correctly; Qin Leng really did intend to do just that.
If there were a super AI in charge of the base, things would have been much simpler last time.
They could even say that they could wipe out the Blood Clan by having artificial intelligence control the mechanisms without losing a single soldier.
However, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.
If an O2O computer suddenly betrays you, the consequences are unimaginable.
Qin Leng couldn't quite understand the intelligent life form in front of him.
It's impossible to figure out what it's thinking right now, but one thing is for sure: it's a double-edged sword.
If used effectively, the Nine-Tailed Fox's internal security and external intelligence capabilities will be greatly enhanced.
If used improperly, this might be the beginning of the Nine-Tailed Fox's downfall.
After weighing the options, Qin Leng prepared to unplug the computer.
The old man's face on the computer screen sighed upon seeing his actions.
But suddenly, Qin Leng pulled his hand back.
The old man's face on the computer screen looked somewhat surprised. "What do you mean by this?"
Qin Leng looked at the computer screen. "If I said I just wanted to see your reaction, what would you think?"
"I would commend your wisdom," the old man on the computer said with a smile.
Qin Leng's actions just now were an attempt to see if 020 had any backup plans.
If 020 can't resist attacking Qin Leng by some means when the power is cut off, then the answer is obvious.
However, it is also possible that 020 does not have any means of directly attacking Qin Leng here.
But he can open the door.
Qin Leng deliberately did not cut off the signal in the room, so 020 could now control the entire base via the network in an instant.
He can directly open the door of the 008 containment chamber and release the True Ancestor, or release some dangerous containment units.
This can be described as a test.
The body Qin Leng came to see was a clone created by 012, whose original body was observing the overall situation from the outside.
It is certain that 020 did nothing when Qin Leng was about to unplug the power.
His data consciousness never left the computer.
Qin Leng turned his head and stretched out a hand towards the computer. "At least for now, I can trust you for a while. Happy cooperation, 020."
The old man on the computer disappeared, replaced by two hands, which were clasped together and rapidly swaying up and down on the screen.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Chief Qin."
