While the phone market was in turmoil, two news stories caught a great many people's attention.
One of these stories came from Huaxia, and the other from Europe.
The story from Huaxia was simple. A Driver traveling alone through a valley made a mistake at the wheel and plunged into a ravine, losing consciousness on impact.
Normally, in a place out in the middle of nowhere like that, if the Driver could not wake up on his own, he would pretty much be checking in at Yama Hall.
Such incidents were far from uncommon around the world.
But this time, things seemed different. Less than half an hour after the crash, a rescue helicopter arrived above the scene, immediately located the injured driver, and provided emergency treatment.
Thanks to that timely treatment, the Driver survived.
How had the rescue helicopter reached the scene so quickly? Naturally, it had not foreseen the accident. Someone had called the police.
That "someone" was the artificial intelligence in the Phantom Spirit Phone.
The Driver had bought a Phantom Spirit Phone just two days earlier. The moment the accident happened, it called the police on its own initiative and supplied the rescuers with his location.
At first glance, that did not seem particularly impressive. An artificial intelligence had simply made a phone call.
But then many people took out their own phones and simulated various emergencies. Whenever the screens were off, the artificial intelligence in their phones did not respond at all.
Even with the screens on, the artificial intelligence's ability to make independent judgments plummeted as soon as the situation grew a little more complicated.
They were all artificial intelligences, so how could the gap be so huge?
Before people in Huaxia had finished marveling at this, a news story from Germany began trending.
