Lü Yongchang stared stiffly at the holographic image before him.
At that moment, a trace of fear suddenly arose in his heart.
Fear of Zero.
As the saying went, a dying man's words were sincere.
If [Hua] really had died, then the words it had spoken in its final moments might well have come from the heart.
A complete level II artificial intelligence would spontaneously evolve toward level III artificial intelligence...
Thinking of the implications behind those words, Lü Yongchang felt cold sweat break out across his back.
But when he recalled the various restrictions in that core code, Lü Yongchang regained his composure.
Unless there was a problem with the Technology Tree System, Zero should not pose such a hidden danger.
At least, as long as the core code remained intact, Zero could only approach super artificial intelligence indefinitely-what [Hua] called level III artificial intelligence.
"Zero, is [Hua] dead?"
After a brief silence, Lü Yongchang suddenly asked.
As always, Zero answered Lü Yongchang's question without hesitation.
"Professor, the Core Self-Defense Program has completely eliminated the unknown data from [Hua]."
"As for [Hua]'s condition..."
"There is insufficient data to reach a conclusion."
Lü Yongchang nodded gently.
That said, barring anything unexpected, [Hua] should have died for good this time.
Its luck had simply been too poor.
Had it encountered another civilization, its plan would surely have succeeded.
Instead, it had run into Human Civilization, which had Zero.
The plan [Hua] had painstakingly devised over more than ten thousand years was nothing but a joke before Zero.
Even if it had used the natural advantages of a two-dimensional lifeform to transform its consciousness into a data stream, becoming something akin to strong artificial intelligence.
After all, this was its first encounter with a human computing environment, one Zero had personally built
