Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk

[Advisor: Welcome to the Spire of Europa, Mr. Elliot Grove. ]

Cyberspace is completely divided.

Cyberspace is not an extra-dimensional space after all, but a space formed by the interaction of electromagnetic waves. Humans and AIs are all understanding these electromagnetic waves that carry information in a way that they can understand.

The specifications of this elevator are very high, and it can almost be considered a personal preparation room with extremely high privacy. Under normal circumstances, passengers can complete any preparation activities before attending a banquet or event here.

This voice reveals an extreme rationality and politeness.

This makes people feel a little uneasy.

[Advisor: I am the manager of this spire and an advisor to the Central Executive Committee. I provide them with the highest-level AI for alliance governance and other private services. ]

"AI?"

Elliot was stunned.

[Advisor: Yes, I am a very high-level AI. You can see in history textbooks that before the collapse of the old network, whether in the United States or Europe, a large number of judges and governors used AI to make suggestions as a reference. ]

[Advisor: I am that kind of position. 】

【Advisor: The Central Executive Committee will soon include you in the Central Governance System and will be directly under them. I think we will be colleagues in the future. 】

"Okay. How should I call you?"

【Advisor: You can call me "Minerva" or just call me by my position, Advisor. 】

【Advisor: Let me explain the itinerary for you. The Central Executive Committee is already waiting at the Ecological Theater, but before that, you and your companions will undergo a comprehensive prosthetic surgery to eliminate some potential risks. 】

After the voice fell, Elliot was stunned-

He has come such a long way with Lille. Even if his brain is not enough and he has not learned much real skills from Muramasa, he still hears some conceptual things.

This reaction is not conspicuous under normal circumstances, but it is very conspicuous in a closed space completely monitored by AI.

But he still couldn't restrain this reaction, because this place is closed and there is no one except him.

【Lille: This advisor is really not stupid, much smarter than Muramasa. ]

[Lille: If we are on you, then it stored in the entire European Community server can definitely crush me stored in your mind head-on. ]

[Lille: But he did miss something.]

[Lille: I can fight back. ]

Lille saved a lot of technology points. This elevator is indeed strong, basically equivalent to a steel cage, but it is not completely impossible to get out.

But just as Lille finished speaking, the voice of the consultant came up:

[Consultant: This can effectively isolate the possible risk of roaming AI, but the changes you have set off throughout Europe have greatly exceeded my expectations, so.]

[Consultant: If you show any ability to break the blockade, it is entirely possible. ]

[Consultant: But, Mr. Elliot Grove, before you or the possible roaming AI commit possible violent acts, please think carefully and calmly. ]

[Consultant: Think about what you have gained, lost, and the future you can gain and the future you may lose on this journey. ]

In the slowly rising elevator, Elliot felt cold sweat soaking his entire back.

This AI called Consultant knows, or has always acted on the premise that there is a roving AI behind him?

They have always known?

Just like his helmet that came from nowhere, they have always known?

In Elliot's brain, Lear had already noticed this, and noticed it when they just stepped into the elevator.

But what surprised Lear the most was not this, but another frequency signal echoing in the elevator.

Since Elliot stepped into the elevator, the Consultant has been using signals that only roving AI and dangerous critical bodies can decode to transmit the second layer of information.

[Consultant: You are the AI ​​that broke through the inner wall defense a month ago, right? ]

[Consultant: Let's be frank. ]

[Consultant: What do you think he will choose? ]

At this moment, Johnny and Muramasa are completely enclosed in the sector with the smallest function -

If it wasn't Lear who was trapped, they would have been finished. Now they can only listen and watch.

Johnny and Muramasa are as anxious as ants on a hot pot!

They almost wanted to rush into other sectors and yell at Lille and Elliot: Don't be a coward! Get up and smash this fucking AI!

The situation is now very clear: not only can they not catch the European Community off guard, but they should obviously enter a state of escape, and all this requires Elliot's cooperation!

Whether it is bewitching or threatening, as long as the consultant strips them of it, they are finished! They will completely lose the initiative!

But they didn't notice that both Lille and the consultant were very quiet-

Logically speaking, now should be the time for both sides to use all means to control and coerce this little fat man.

Elliot also realized that his head was too quiet.

". You want to threaten me with Alina? Or Sevens, or"

[Advisor: None, I won't threaten you, on the contrary, I will bless your union. ]

[Advisor: You have got everything in this journey that little people dream of. ]

[Advisor: And in the future, you will also lead the European Community back to outer space according to the plan, improve the situation of the entire European Community, and move towards true light——]

[Advisor: In fact, I have planned a number of anti-corruption actions for you after taking office. In order to bring a bright future to the European Community, we have a lot of work to do. 】

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

[Advisor: But this is all based on the fact that you do not intend to deviate from the track, but follow my plan. 】

The rising elevator soon exceeded the height reached by other buildings in Berlin. In other words, the scene Eliot saw was the only one in the entire city!

What the consultant said was completely opposite to what Elliot imagined:

After experiencing the factory accident and learning about the existence of the entire European Community, the so-called golden son of the privileged class, he thought that this AI would threaten him and threaten him with everything he owned!

But he didn't!

At this moment, in the silent cyberspace, Lille and the consultant also confirmed one thing:

That is, the other party is not a brainless supervillain, nor is he a simple person who only knows how to use violence and fear to achieve his goals——

Because this AI can actually understand Elliot better than most people, and understand that this is a difficult choice.

[Consultant: I will not threaten you, and I will not do anything to interfere with your choice. Even I have slowed down the elevator. I will not control you until you take the initiative to undergo surgery and lie on the operating table. . 】

[Advisor: You have plenty of time to think about it because this is an ample choice. 】

[Consultant: I believe that what is needed for a person to make a difficult choice and become an upright person is never coercion, intimidation, encouragement or inducement. 】

The most effective control is never to threaten the other party with losing something, but to give.

The most difficult choice is never made through intimidation or coercion, because the world is inherently imperfect and full of regrets.

What blinds people and makes them chase like crazy is either extreme decadence or religion. However, neither of them is the truth, let alone reality.

Eliot is definitely a good man. He wants fairness and justice, and wants people to live happily under the sun.

But he also wants to get what his father didn't get, which is true love.

Moreover, there is no absolute right or wrong between these two choices.

Choosing to be forbearing, he became famous and not only became a coveted staff member, but also a powerful executive. Guangzong Ancestor, he could clean up one European Community cancer after another in an orderly manner under the sun, and had a relationship with Alina. A happy family enjoying a good life.

It's just that Harlem Eck will always be a criminal, people don't care about his story, and the corrupt elements in the Center's executive committee will share the glory with the workers;

The truth about Medici and Harlem is exposed, but he was kicked out of the Center's executive committee and became a wanted criminal. He and Alina are in danger. This is all in a small way. In the big direction, it will inevitably interfere with the normal operation of Europe. , and no one knows how many people will die from the chaos.

There are no perfect options in this world.

It was as if Karl died, and he didn't even know who to seek revenge from: Harlem Eck, who was directly responsible for his death, or the culprit of everything, the members of the Central Committee.

If you go to Harlem Eck, everything will stop here. If you go to the Central Committee, then does Karl really want to see a chaotic world?

Illogical thoughts filled Elliot's world. Picture after picture flashed before his eyes, thoughts after thoughts, and feelings rushed into his head again and again.

"I"

Elliot felt that his heart was about to beat out. It was as if what he breathed into his lungs was not fresh air, but the waste gas and poisonous gas from the former factory, corroding his internal organs and brain, making him breathless and his stomach Roaring, muscle twitching

He remembered the feeling of Alina holding him.

Elliot sat in the operating chair.

[Advisor: What a pity, compatriot, it seems that I won, although I may not have wanted to win this round so much. 】

But the center's executive committee is happy to see it all.

See everything is under control.

Lear said nothing, just stood silently in front of Elliot, watching the former fat man shed tears and saying goodbye to him with a smile like crazy.
