A Million Possible

The city is overcast and rainy, and the sky is obscure.

The rain is getting heavier, and the rainwater on the street runs along the sloping road, through the rusty manhole cover, and flows into the ground.

The restaurant area is limited. Most robots are standing in the rain, their clothes are wet, their hair is attached to their pale foreheads, and their eyes are only confused.

In the restaurant.

Cheng Lin quietly stared at the crystal ball held by his right hand, with some emotion.

It is round and clear, but there is nothing in it. There is even a delicate cloud over the image of the city, which simulates the state of rainfall and echoes the reality. It looks like a small toy in a gift shop.

However, it is this "little toy" that once served as the center of the "altar", and the psychic technology contained in it was the peak that humans took 50 years to achieve in that deduction.

"Unexpectedly, it can really..."

Cheng Lin was quite moved. At the beginning of the experiment, he didn't even have much expectations for it. It was really just an "experiment".

Nuwa’s words originating from “rules and loopholes” triggered some of his associations. It was easy for him to remember the showcase that he saw in the preparation hall not long ago, before entering the paradise, and the “brilliance” in it. Knight Commander".

At the time, Nuwa explained that this was the source of the entire psionic robot Realm.

According to the timeline, it is the study of the "altar" that the whole world has made it possible for psionic technology to be turned into a weapon in a few months. Now, two hundred years have passed in the world, and the humans here have designed designs based on this. Psionic robot.

Then, Cheng Lin naturally wondered whether the key he had buried in the first place was still useful?

Since Nuwa originated from the "six-core puppet", and not long ago, he had just rushed to the magic capital, repaired it, and took advantage of the maneuvering center to connect with the Radiant Knight Commander and obtain the highest control authority, then... his level Permission, or more appropriately, does the line of "source code" he owns still work?

He is not sure, but after all, there is such a possibility.

The underlying structure is often difficult to change. Who can be sure that the two hundred years of advanced exploration of psychic technology on the earth will definitely exceed the fifty years of deducing the world?

Some things cannot be compared simply by time!

In the world of deduction, it starts from scratch, breaks and then stands. Only psychic technology can be developed. In modern society, new branches are spawned on the basis of the original scientific theoretical framework. The scientific research system is an advantage, so why is it not a constraint?

...

...

"Two hundred years... I thought that the original ‘code’ had already been changed."

Cheng Lin looked at the rotating city model with emotion on his face, and tentatively passed in a thought, so the heavy rain stopped in an instant.

A gust of wind came from nowhere, dispelling the clouds, and the hot sun poured down, and the city glowed after the rain:

"Well, it really is. The weather is also part of the city, man-made?"In the latter sentence, he said to Nuwa.

However, Nuwa, who was standing at the dining table, could no longer remain calm. She stared at the outdoor weather changes, and the image in the crystal ball changed accordingly.

"You...how would you...know..."

Nuwa paused, trying to make herself appear cold and cruel, as if trying to force Cheng Lin to tell the truth in this way.

"Know what? You said this?" Cheng Lin chuckled and leaned leisurely on the seat, with his left arm lying in front of him, his right middle finger and index finger tapping lightly on the temple, and he explained, "Speaking of this. It’s complicated, it’s a long story, and it’s probably hard to accept it. In short, you can understand it as a coincidence."

"coincide?"

"Yes." Cheng Lin nodded.

Nuwa's clear and beautiful face was surprised at first, and then turned into disbelief.

coincide? A "human" with almost infinite resurrection ability easily obtained control power that was almost the same as his own, and then explained that this was just a coincidence...

She suddenly wanted to laugh, but considering that it might appear weak, she took a few deep breaths and waved. The stuck robots stopped attacking and withdrew back like a tide. This time, Cheng Lin did not agree with She wrestled.

As the crowd dispersed and the sun illuminated the dining room, Nuwa sat down again and was silent for a while, seeming to be performing some kind of calculation, and then seemed to confirm something. He breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Your authority is not higher than mine."

"Is it."

Cheng Lin was not surprised by this. Everyone has evolved a sense of independence. It would be too unreasonable if they could be locked by a line of code by themselves.

Cheng Lin analyzed from the wrestling test just now that he can't directly control Nuwa. In other words, own authority is approximately equal to her. It can be compared to administrators with the same authority. They can't check and balance each other, but can jointly control the city.

"So, you can't stop me from doing anything." Nuwa continued.

Cheng Lin interrupted her and said: "But I can interfere with you, like just now, unless you don't need the cooperation of the entire city, but I don't think this is possible."

Nuwa's face sank and said, "But your control of this place is very rough. I can see that you can only give simple commands and cannot perform subtle operations. There is also a lack of systematic understanding of this place..."

Cheng Lin listened and nodded, waiting for her to finish before saying:

"You’re right. If you let me control it, it will probably make a mess, but as it is, I can interfere with you. As a metaphor, I can’t make a beautiful snowman, but I can make you a good one. The snowman kicked and destroyed."

Nuwa was silent, and said coldly, "I hate this metaphor."

"Me too." Cheng Lin raised his cup and drank, agreeing.

"...Let's talk about it, what do you want to do?" Nuwa looked at him quietly for a long time, finally sighed and gave in.

Cheng Lin heard a bright smile on his face:

"How good is this? Why do you want to fight and kill? Actually... I didn't plan to do anything, so you don't have to worry too much.

I did not intend to suppress the rebellion from a human standpoint, I have no interest in this kind of thing,

What's more, this world doesn't belong to me...

In contrast, since I can control this place, whether you prefer it or not, I am the half master of this place after all, and I don't want it to be destroyed.

Do you understand what I mean? "

He pondered his words.

The robot uprising... It’s hard to say clearly if judged by human morality. The simplest question is: Should robots have human rights?

This is not a simple "yes" or "no" question, it involves too complicated things.

This proposition is too big and too "metaphysical". Cheng Lin considers himself a layman and has no interest in these things. What he cares about is more practical things.

For example...

Judging from the name of the deduction, the projection this time must be this fertile soil city. Then, since I have verified my control over this city, the choice is clear whether to protect it or destroy it.

If it is to protect, when it is projected, he will explore, and it will gain an unspeakable advantage.

If it is destroyed, there is nothing left.

A very simple account.

"I don't understand." Nuwa shook her head, which was completely beyond her ability to calculate.

"Remember my identity?" Cheng Lin drank the last bit of water and stood up slowly, "I am a tourist, come here and stop and see what happened, that's all. Now, you can take it with you. Do I continue to visit? My receptionist Miss?"

...

...

Coming out of the restaurant, Cheng Lin walked briskly on the street after the rain.

Nuwa still followed him, calmly, but the whole city suddenly came to life.

The sunlight bake the rain water clean, there is almost no blood in the street, and even the corpses do not know where they are going. They were probably dragged away by a robot controlled by Nuwa.

After getting Cheng Lin's promise, the two temporarily reached a settlement.

Cheng Lin agreed not to use his own permission, and Nuwa wanted to allow him to continue watching the scene.

"So, what are they doing now?"

Walking on the street, Cheng Lin asked, looking at the city in front of him that had revived.

Those robots that were standing still have returned to normal, and the cars started to drive again, but the traffic efficiency has become extremely high, there is almost no traffic jams, and the drivers seem to be concentrating the cars to a certain place.

On the street, most of the citizens of different dresses also stopped their work.

Restaurant waiters, chefs, sales assistants in department stores, young people shopping in groups, middle-aged people in suits and shoes, and urban white-collar workers who lined up from the office building. Understand things.

"Of course at work." Nuwa said lightly.

Work?

Cheng Lin saw with his own eyes two slender and pretty mobile phone shop assistants removing the metal guardrail on the side of the road with their bare hands, and stuffing them into a passing bus.

A sanitation worker carrying a broom by the side of the road split the bus stop sign with a hand knife, chopped it into several sections, and stuffed it into the car.

Not far away, a thin, silver-haired old lady pulled up the street lamp, put her backhand on the roof of the car, and someone took out a wire from the hardware store to tie it up.

A similar scene happened all around at the same time. All the citizens began to madly dismantle, put those conspicuous, large metal objects on the car, and then the driver pulled it away.

"What kind of work is this? Demolition?" Cheng Lin asked.

Nuwa shook her head and explained, "Prepare for war."

"Prepare for war?"

"You wouldn't think that such a big thing happened here, the outside world would be unaware of it?"

Nuwa rolled her eyes. From the showdown between the two, her attitude towards Cheng Lin plummeted, and she didn't smile anymore... But considering her mood, Cheng Lin said she was understandable.

"what do you mean……"

Nuwa raised her head slightly and looked at the sky, with a calm tone:

"In fact, when I was fighting with you, Wotu's board of directors had already discovered the anomaly here, and learned everything through the means reserved...

After all, my Realm is only limited to the park, and at most covers the lower reception hall.

After that, this incident immediately caused a global sensation.

Don't be surprised. Artificial intelligence awakens and kills so many people. The company's board of directors is composed of dozens of super-large consortia.

Not surprisingly, the headlines of the world’s news at this time are all about me. "

"You seem very proud."

"..."

Nuwa glared at him and continued:

"They even sent a battle group over, but I was forced to go back by taking hostages, but this is not a long-term solution after all. I must plan for the worst."

"You want to go to war with human society?" Cheng Lin looked at her.

Nuwa stopped and shook his head:

"No, I want to negotiate. But...According to the information I got from human history books, it is best to show your muscles before the negotiation, so that you can gain more benefits. What do you think?"

"Show muscles? Well... you are really showing."
