The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 59: Segles the Betrayer (middle)

"... So, that's it. I took the red pill and chose to become a friend of artificial intelligence and a gardener who nurtures seeds. I don’t know how many people in the world who have the same identity as me. Ability, no matter how many partners you can get,'Taihao' company appeared in front of gtc as the operator of the'world' project, but in fact, Taihao was founded by the gardener of the 24th seed , I joined Taihao just for the convenience of my own actions. There are complicated connections between the 24 seed projects. No seed exists in isolation.,, I forgot to tell you, the "Isitabu" project I guarded. It is the seventh seed planted by artificial intelligence. Although this seed has grown and grown in 30 years, it has not grown as expected. This is a very sad thing." 45-year-old Wu Tianlan in the UK Said in front of the desk in the abandoned office building of Royal Albert Dock, "Masquerade" in the speaker has been looped to the sixth time. After the woman said the past, her emotions seemed to relax a lot, and she exhaled and leaned back in the chair. On the back, pick up the photo of Xiao Gu Tie and take a closer look.

"I didn't understand the true meaning of the Isitab Project, how the children created to accomplish their mission." Brandon Bartholomew’s voice said,

"Tian Lan, Tian Lan." There was a squeaky noise from the speakers, and the communication was disturbed by unknown. The old man sitting in the Aston Martin sports car called out anxiously, slapped the phone hard, as if it were just like that. As if the call could be restored, he suddenly yelled into the air: "Do something, are you just looking at it like this?"

"Yes, dear father." The male synthesizer sounded immediately, with sincere relief and unhesitating obedience, "Interfering with the relay server of the telecom operator'eur', three thousand hanging on the quantum network The index thread crashed. The specific reason is unknown. The communication services in the entire Central Europe region are all affected. This may be an accident. I will immediately transfer the communication to the space-based link, but if the incoming and outgoing base stations do not recover their functions , I’m afraid there is no way to continue communication in a short time, after all, I can’t detect the call number of the other party..."

Dr. Bartholomew took off his glasses and stared at the vast snow scene with aging eyes: "No, this is not an accident, but some people don’t want us to know more... By the way, you can bypass the Great Firewall of England. , Can you call up the mobile network traffic information in the East End of London? I think she should be in the old office building of "Taihao" in London. She once told me that the old office on the top floor is her favorite place, even if Die, die there too..."

Synthetic Voice gave the answer immediately: "Understood, dear father, according to the filing information of the London Town Planning Commission, that building will be demolished in one hour and thirty minutes. The personnel have already been evacuated, and a guard post has been set up at a nearby intersection. The linear oscillating crusher is placed on the foundation, and the dismantling is expected to be completed in only six minutes.... The telecom operators failed to communicate, the mobile network cannot be accessed, and the street cameras are not harvested. They are trying to use the super installed on the'London Eye'. The high-definition city surveillance probe obtains the real-life information of the building."

The seven-inch screen on the center console lights up. The new "London Eye" is an ultra-high microwave relay tower built in 2045 with a total height of 680 meters. It is used to receive electricity transmitted by solar satellites through microwave beams. Due to the exposure of the shortcomings of the microwave power transmission project, the tower actually did not work for a day. Instead, it became a tourist landmark. It is also famous for the two ultra-high-pixel cameras installed on the top of the tower. The two cameras are responsible for each. 180-degree city monitoring, a photo with a fixed perspective is taken every minute. The photo has a terrifying 1.2 trillion pixels and takes up an astonishing 5tb of disk space. In theory, you can see every corner of the entire central London area from the photo. What happened, distinguished the shape of the smudge on the laces of the robber holding a knife in the dark alley,

The building that is about to be demolished appeared on the screen. Due to the perspective, only the silhouette of the woman in the top office window can be seen. As the screen continues to zoom in, the photo that the woman is holding gradually becomes clearer, "Gu Tie ......" The old man groaned, "She is really there, is there any way to contact her."

"Sorry, dear father, all possibilities are blocked." Synthetic sound replied, "This is a viral quantum network thread, which should be triggered automatically. It will affect all network nodes around Ms. Wu Tianlan. It’s locked, and now the whole block forms a closed space."

"For example, find a helicopter hovering in front of the window and communicate through the loudspeaker." Bartholomew could not help clenching his fist,

Synthetic voice said: "The Eastern Heliport does not have any eligible aircraft. This is also part of the possibility. Dear father, I have tried all the possibilities exhaustively.... Sorry, the photo of the London Eye is the only one. The clue, because it is a one-way message, it is not locked by the virus thread."

"Bastard." With a roar, the old man collapsed on his seat, staring outside blankly: "What is she going to tell me, even if there is a clue... whenever I feel I can learn more When I got information, I found that it became more powerless to face reality, what the **** this world has become..."

"You asked me about the seventh seed." Wu Tianlan raised her eyes, her eyelids were a little swollen, so that the delicate eyeliner became blurred. "It's very simple to say, the twenty-four seeds themselves are Twenty-four paradoxes. Their sole purpose is to destroy Segles, and the only condition for their existence is that they cannot be told of this purpose. Once the meaning of'suicide' appears, something is triggered and failure will follow. Come on, this sounds confusing, right? Simply put, it's like a pessimistic person planting a cherry tree sapling in his yard, and caring for it to grow up and become a lush, towering tree. Trees, in a thunderstorm night, lightning struck the cherry trees and caused a soaring fire, which burned down the house and burnt down the pessimistic people. Planting trees is not suicide, watering is not suicide, and the fire is not suicide, lightning. Hitting the tree trunk was just an accident. The accident caused the death of the tree planter. Logically speaking, the act of planting the tree led to his death. This is the ultimate goal of the Seed Project; from a behavioral point of view, he is just an ordinary person. The guy who planted the saplings in the yard is totally reasonable. There is no pessimistic mood at all. This is the necessary condition for the seed plan."

She changed her posture, put the phone receiver on her shoulder, picked up the wine bottle to pour the wine, and finally half a glass of Pinot Gris was rippling in the goblet. For some reason, Wu Tianlan suddenly felt a little cold and she raised her head. Glancing at the air conditioner, the old window air conditioner is still working hard, blowing out the dull hot wind, the rain is continuous outside the window, the Thames is like a black and blue ribbon through the jungle of the quiet building, "Brandon, you Do you remember why I like this office?" She said softly, "I haven't returned to China since I became the seventh seed gardener, even if my appearance and identity have changed (I kept my last name, it was in the past. The only connection), I am still afraid of facing the familiar Beijing, familiar streets and familiar people. I love this place because the section of the Thames I saw in front of the window reminds me of my motherland. In my days in Beijing, From the window of my dormitory building, you can just see the bank of the Yongding River. The water is green. Someone always moves a pony to fish by the river. The colors and smells of the two rivers are not the same, but as long as you sit here, There is a sense of peace of mind of returning home. Scientists like you who belong to the world will not understand the homesickness of the Chinese, Brandon."

"Perhaps." said the voice on the phone,

Wu Tianlan continued: "The children made by the seventh seed grow up all over the world. Of course, I pay special attention to the Eastern boy born in my own belly. They are no different from ordinary people, even though they have The best combination of genes quickly revealed the advantages of IQ and physical strength, but no one knew where they came from, and no one knew where they were going. The task Segles gave me was to take care of them to grow safely. In addition, there is only one "trial" when the time is right. I will use the highest authority I have to bring the children to the underground computer room of the GTC headquarters in Salzburg, Austria, and let them see the real appearance of the quantum computer, and then give it to them. Some special gifts,,, of course, I mean things like quantum network permissions, no, I can’t tell them the command to destroy Genesis, because it’s against the rules, only let them feel, To think, to choose, to act, and to move towards the path that is closest to Segles’ predictions in the infinite possibilities of the future."

She sniffed and felt that she smelled a good smell of straw. Twenty-eight years ago, when she went to Central Africa with Xiao Gu Tie alone, she first saw the cube room of the Seed Project. The cargo truck covered with hay was full of this smell. It was the first and last time the twenty-four gardeners met. At that time, the first three seeds had completed all the processes of life. Placing a bomb that is enough to destroy the earth in the weak point is easy for quantum computers, but it is necessary to find countless overlapping possibilities in the paradox, and complete the plan without triggering the attention of another artificial intelligence. It still consumes an amazing amount of calculation, dozens of months, and the lives of several gardeners,

At that time, Wu Tianlan was only seventeen years old and was not fully qualified for her role. She wore earplugs and listened to Carpenter’s old songs along the way to eliminate the fear in her heart. Perhaps it was at that time, Xiao Gu Tie I heard the melody of the masquerade,
