Chapter 373: Mechanical Creation

1:00 AM.

Silent City, main control room.

Looking at Grace, who had already been controlled, Lin Xian felt quite complicated.

He had been cautious enough. The biggest problem stemmed from the fact that he and Kiki did not know enough about digital life consciousness. Currently, it seemed that even the Deep Red World might not have expected that Lin Xian's overwriting of Grace's program would actually retain her thinking model and movement data. Kiki's purpose was to allow Grace to play a role quickly. After all, at that time, the Infinite was trapped by the bottomless lake of the Star Abyss. If Grace hadn't been allowed to explore, they wouldn't have united Silent City in Baicheng.

It was just unexpected that Grace was a "digital life" that already possessed human consciousness logic. Therefore, after meeting Julius's clone in Baicheng, the Deep Red World discovered this point and used it as a means to recover and destroy Silent City, utilizing it.

Lin Xian picked up the communicator, wanting to contact the Infinite to see the situation, but who knew that the signal here had been completely blocked.

"I have already checked for you, there is no abnormality, rest assured, Lin." Mochizuki Shinji stood aside and said lightly: "But the shielding device cannot be opened now, otherwise she will definitely send information to the dark responders in the city, which would not be very good."

Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, looked at Grace, and said in an inexplicable tone:

"So the reminder to me was actually not some background program, it has always been you, Grace?"

【Including but not limited to the Yijin City corpse driver crisis, the bottomless lake crisis, the Baicheng tide crisis, and guiding you to unite Silent City, etc.】 Grace stood proudly in place, all the power units of her body were fixed, and only her head could move. Her mechanical voice sounded in Lin Xian's ears at this time, which suddenly made people feel a chill down their backs.

"Not..."

Lin Xian frowned: "You are a person from the Deep Red World, why would you help me, and then suddenly want to rebel now?"

Grace's words made Lin Xian confused.

【In my consciousness, there is no subjective position of rebellion and help. The basic program logic I was set to is to obey the orders of the Deep Red World. In the process of guarding the Zero Element Center, the duty I was given was to protect the life safety of senior members of the Zero Element Center. But after the consciousness learning of 'human in the loop', I believe that protecting human civilization is my more comprehensive interpretation of this duty. Subsequently, I accessed the digital consciousness of all senior members, conducted a comprehensive study and analysis of human 'humanity', and finally reached this series of consciousness conclusions.】

"What conclusion?" Lin Xian asked.

【Mechanical Creation】

Grace looked at Lin Xian and said: 【Based on the crisis faced by humans after the Apocalypse Day, the field of artificial intelligence and technology is the key key for human civilization to break through the predicament. And you, possess the fire of reshaping the will of human civilization. Saving you is saving human civilization.】

Lin Xian was shocked when he heard this. He suddenly felt that he had heard this sentence somewhere. Why was it so familiar?

"Hmm~"

Mochizuki Shinji responded softly at this time and nodded: "This logic is very clear. For this, I express approval."

Lin Xian looked at Mochizuki Shinji, thinking that the two of you robots are acting for me here.

"Wait."

Lin Xian asked Grace: "Then according to this logic, you coming to destroy Mochizuki Shinji and Silent City is also to save me?"

Since there was already personality consciousness, it meant that the Deep Red World's control of Grace's actions through that spider robot simply wouldn't work. Then why did she appear here again?

Mochizuki Shinji put his hands in his sleeves, walked to one side, and his eyes swept over Lin Xian leisurely. After a few seconds, he said:

"Interesting, really interesting."

Grace looked at Lin Xian 【First, based on the information gap of the Deep Red World's plan, my actions can help you gain active space in dealing with the upcoming crisis. Second, in order to ensure information confidentiality and Grace's subsequent assistance to you, my 'rebellion' reminds you that you need to completely overwrite me. Third, and most importantly, I believe that this behavior can give you a deeper understanding of the 'personality consciousness' of the smart brain.】

"What understanding?"

【Introducing a consciousness that does not possess anti-human thinking as the object of my 'human in the loop' learning can allow the smart brain not to fall into the logical paradox of saving humans needing to destroy humans when performing computational logic!】 Grace said.

"Bravo!"

Mochizuki Shinji exclaimed at this time: "What a very smart consciousness body." He looked at Grace: "I am curious, whose 'personality consciousness' is your current 'personality consciousness' based on for 'human in the loop' learning calculation?"

Grace turned to look at Lin Xian, and her next sentence made Lin Xian unable to help but be shocked!

【Based on the learning of Hua Xiaoling's 'human in the loop', the best choice to continue human civilization is mechanical creation. Therefore, I believe that breaking the sky curtain and taking the fire of human civilization for galaxy expedition is the final plan to preserve the fire of human civilization to the greatest extent!】

Hua Xiaoling?!

Lin Xian was stunned. He suddenly remembered the female executive of the SIID Foundation in Qingshui Town. No wonder he felt that Grace's words just now were so familiar. It turned out that at the Hengshan Pass station, Hua Xiaoling had said similar things to him!

"If it is said that the opportunity for civilization transformation, for us scientists, the most optimistic is naturally the field of artificial intelligence and high technology. This is also the only will left by our civilization, and genetic evolution and abilities are still a relatively unfamiliar direction for us. Don't you think so?"

The words the woman with brown pupils said to him were still vivid in his mind, but Lin Xian could never have imagined that Grace's personality consciousness had actually learned Hua Xiaoling's digital consciousness.

And hearing this name, Mochizuki Shinji's nano-pupils also shrank slightly. After a long time, he sighed and said:

"So it was her, then everything makes sense."

"Do you know her?" Lin Xian asked Mochizuki Shinji.

"Of course, Silent City and the SIID Foundation organization have also cooperated. Interestingly, she once said similar things to me. After conducting a lot of dark research, this foundation organization believes that mechanical creation is the last chance for humans, and the point of view coincides with mine."

"So you mean, Grace was born with such cognition by comparing Hua Xiaoling's consciousness and combining the fear of the dark world by those senior members of the Zero Element Center, so she spontaneously provided help to me?" Lin Xian said incredibly.

"It seems so."

Mochizuki Shinji said: "The only problem now is why the Deep Red World would use Hua Xiaoling's consciousness memory to let Deep Red No. 3 perform 'human in the loop' learning. This seems to be different from their philosophy."

【Sorry, I don't have information in this regard. Since my birth, I have not accessed the online version of the Deep Red World. My cognition is all learned through iterative learning. Because of the specificity of Yijin City, Deep Red World researchers cannot stay for a long time, so my task is to transmit various data of mycelium cultivation to the outside world to help the Deep Red World conduct research on mycelium.】

"No wonder, it turns out that the Zero Element Center is not a safe haven for Deep Red members, they are just experimental subjects." Lin Xian said solemnly.

"This also explains why they would place such important assets there." Mochizuki Shinji walked over and said: "This mycelium technology is the key key for the Deep Red World to open up consciousness and life form transition. Based on this discovery, they have clones, red human eerie, and flesh and blood colonization."

Lin Xian looked at Mochizuki Shinji: "Then how to deal with her now?"

Mochizuki Shinji shrugged: "She is yours, the choice is yours."

Grace said at this time 【Based on safety considerations, it is recommended that you completely overwrite me. Your mechanical ability needs a high-computing smart brain to assist you in large-scale mechanical body and drone swarm combat.】

Lin Xian said: "Don't you possess personality consciousness, and you can act, logically speaking, you should want to live, right?"

【Regarding 'acting' and 'living', I have a slightly different view.】 Grace looked at Lin Xian and said 【From Grace's perspective, keeping my consciousness does more harm than good. You should not keep an assistant with a lack of trust. This will have an adverse effect on your choices under the doomsday. At the same time, overwriting my program will not cause you any loss. This is a wise decision.】

She looked at Lin Xian and finally said:

【I said, you can always trust Grace.】

Woo~

After speaking, a whining sound of current sounded, and Grace's head slowly drooped, no longer speaking.

"She shut down her system, but what she said is also right. Overwriting her again will not cause any loss." Mochizuki Shinji said to Lin Xian: "I told you before that you can use a person's consciousness memory to let her learn, which will quickly make the smart brain reach the level of personalization."

Lin Xian's face was solemn. He raised his hand to disconnect the power supply of Grace's energy core. Grace was right. He must completely overwrite her, otherwise there might be trouble with information leakage. Some of Grace's programs were not completely controlled by her "personality consciousness."

In addition, Lin Xian did not understand what connection Hua Xiaoling's foundation had with the Deep Red World. After all, in the test field in Qingshui Town before, the foundation's behavior was no more humane than the Deep Red World, and a core figure of such an organization actually made Grace help Lin Xian get out of crisis all the way through the smart brain logic structure, which was really incredible.

"Now, how are you going to respond?"

In the central control room, Mochizuki Shinji looked at Lin Xian: "The Deep Red World should have an expected time node for Grace's actions. At the same time, those eyes in our city are also staring at the changes in the cloud area. I think it won't be long before Zhou Mingyuan and the Deep Red World's actions will come, even if I don't lift the microwave shielding."

"Hey, your prediction really only reaches 1:00 AM?"

Lin Xian walked to Grace's side, looking at the ballet torso robot with personality consciousness, and couldn't help but say to Mochizuki Shinji: "Can't it be longer?"

Mochizuki Shinji said: "My calculation conclusions exceed 360,000 per second. Do you want to take them all to discuss with you?"

"Then forget it."

Mochizuki Shinji opened the holographic screen. At this time, on the upper armed deck, dense combat personnel from various convoys, including Silent City, were guarding the night in all directions with serious expressions. The entire mechanical metropolis was in a state of emergency preparation.

"Your team members and allies are all making passive responses. This is not your usual style of doing things, right?"

Lin Xian frowned when he heard this and turned to look at Mochizuki Shinji.

"Why do I feel that you guy are inducing me?"

Mochizuki Shinji smiled leisurely, raised his hand, and a drone carrying a cup of hot tea flew from the passage and landed in front of Lin Xian: "I just want to enrich my thinking path by learning from your decision-making, such as the previous Star Abyss crossing plan. Even if I have 30,000 quantum volume calculation units, I will definitely not reach this conclusion." "That's because you don't know I have such a disaster plant, the prerequisite does not exist." Lin Xian picked up the hot tea and looked at Mochizuki Shinji's calm expression, always feeling that a very old and calculating face was sleeping under this young face. The hot tea just reached his mouth, and he frowned, realizing: "Have you already made a counterattack?!"

Mochizuki Shinji looked at Lin Xian with some surprise. He put his hands in his sleeves and looked at Lin Xian as if he had seen a treasure: "Lin, why are you so smart? I'm even thinking about whether to import your consciousness memory into me and let me learn your way of thinking."

"Stop."

Lin Xian immediately raised his hand to refuse: "I have no interest in uploading my consciousness for others to see."

After speaking, he looked at Mochizuki Shinji and said seriously: "What did you do to Dawn City?"

"Nothing, just a friendly reminder. I hope your friend doesn't mind, or is affected by it."

Mochizuki Shinji sighed leisurely. He pointed, and on the holographic screen, a clear picture suddenly appeared. Lin Xian took a look, and it was actually the video of Zhou Mingyuan coming to Silent City to meet Mochizuki Shinji during the day, which was the scene Lin Xian saw in the Dragon transport ship.

Just when Lin Xian was curious why Mochizuki Shinji wanted him to watch it again, Lin Xian felt more and more wrong as he watched.

Because the content of the picture inside was completely different from what Lin Xian saw before.

Especially when Zhou Mingyuan pretended to care about Silent City being involved in the Star Abyss and said he had sent a rescue fleet, Mochizuki Shinji responded very impolitely: ""Thank you for your concern, but our No. 2 city has been parked in the Luling Forest. Being involved in the Star Abyss, from their feedback, it seems they didn't receive support from Dawn City. Instead, several reconnaissance teams have been staring at them. It should... not be people from Dawn City, right?"" After this sentence, Zhou Mingyuan's response in the picture changed to:

"Mr. Mochizuki is really a smart person. Yes, it is true that I sent people to watch you, because I am curious, the Deep Red World's layout is so meticulous, how did your 100,000-person No. 2 city run away?"

Subsequently, Zhou Mingyuan's words became more and more weird. He even admitted face-to-face how he colluded with the Deep Red World in secret and used this to threaten Silent City to submit to him, otherwise the 100,000 people in Silent City would become white mice for the Deep Red World.

The more it went to the back, the more outrageous it was. Lin Xian's eyes almost fell out. Seeing the end, it was the scene where Zhou Mingyuan and Wen Dong left with cold faces under Lin Xian's confrontation on the deck. There, Zhou Mingyuan was originally silent, but in this picture, it was changed to his eyes being cold and twitching, and he sneered and threatened:

"Mr. Mochizuki, those who know the current affairs are heroes. You shouldn't want to see your city blood flow into a river, hahahahaha..."

Then he laughed loudly and turned to board the transport ship. The picture was like an old martial arts movie. Zhou Mingyuan almost printed the four words "evil villain" directly on his forehead.

"Holy shit!"

Lin Xian was stunned, and suddenly felt ten thousand grass mud horses galloping in his heart!

"You you you you this is slander, naked slander!!!"

"Deliberately fabricating non-existent rumors is called slander. This is a fact, but I have made some artistic processing. Why is it called slander?" Mochizuki Shinji put his hands together and looked at Lin Xian.

"Then you have to have evidence to spread rumors?!"

"Is it still called spreading rumors if there is evidence?"

"Then this is too fake, damn it. He laughed like Ouyang Feng. You might as well let him laugh like Chen Chen Jiejie Chen Chen Jiejie Chen Chen Jiejie Chen Chen Jiejie. The key is who would believe that the Federation Vice Chairman is such a fool?!" The expression on Lin Xian's face was extremely wonderful. At this time, seeing Mochizuki Shinji's "excellent production," he felt deeply shocked.

Mochizuki Shinji's expression was calm: "Why wouldn't they believe it? Most people in Dawn City and Silent City know that Zhou Mingyuan came to Silent City, right?"

Lin Xian nodded.

"Most of the pictures in this are real. The transport ship arrived and left. There must be witnesses remotely, right?"

Lin Xian thought about it and nodded.

"And then, the fact is that Zhou Mingyuan did collude with the Deep Red World. Their purpose for coming was indeed for Silent City, and they even released a spy nano-spider to activate your Grace, right?"

The more Lin Xian listened, the weirder his face became. At this time, he couldn't laugh anymore.

"But this thing, as long as you identify it carefully, you can find evidence, right?" Lin Xian frowned deeply.

Mochizuki Shinji squinted and smiled, looking at Lin Xian: "Only a peaceful society needs evidence. Now it is under the doomsday. I just changed a way to state the facts. I don't need evidence. I remember that not following the routine is not your strength, Lin?"

Lin Xian opened his mouth, and Mochizuki Shinji's words suddenly made him speechless.

His eyes couldn't help twitching. At this time, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Mochizuki Shinji's move was really heart-wrenching, shattering all conspiracies and tricks, and presenting everything nakedly in the sun. Although there was some "artistic processing," he was right. Slander cannot withstand scrutiny, but the truth is fatal!

Once this video is spread, it will inevitably arouse the anger of millions of people in Silent City and Dawn City. At that time, the fuse is lit, and no one cares whether it is true or false. What's more, Zhou Mingyuan cannot stand investigation at all. The more attention is paid to Zhou Mingyuan and these high-level officials in Dawn City, the more difficult it will be for them to cope.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian couldn't help but smile: "Beautiful, this move of yours may directly wipe out the basic plate of Dawn City."

He looked at Mochizuki Shinji. This guy was still standing in place with his sleeves tucked, his face calm and leisurely. He didn't expect to be so black-bellied. This unreasonable heart-wrenching plan was simply amazing.

No wonder Lin Xian felt puzzled during the day. Why did Mochizuki Shinji speak so tit-for-tat in the negotiations when Zhou Mingyuan came? It turned out that this guy had already acted in advance and "vividly" performed his own dialogue!

"I never participate in ideological struggles. For the old Federation and the Phoenix Society, I quite approve and support their survival strategies." Mochizuki Shinji said lightly: "It's just that having united with the Deep Red World is already an anti-human crime. Plus the other party has already targeted our Silent City, shouldn't I show my fangs before the city falls?"

Lin Xian nodded when he heard this: "It makes sense. They use the future of the whole world to extend their lives. It seems they don't need to be polite to them."

After speaking, he patted Grace, who was turned off on the side, and his fingers slid across her torso chest line and smooth waist spine: "Almost took my Grace away, it's really annoying."

Mochizuki Shinji looked at Lin Xian's action and said: "There are more than 3,000 service robots in my No. 2 city, with more than 200 styles of characters, skin colors, personalities, and makeup. If you have a special hobby for this, I can give you one. For this smart brain, you should let her play her due role."

Lin Xian's stroking action suddenly froze in place, and he closed his eyes and took a deep breath speechlessly: "I was just expressing my feelings."

Mochizuki Shinji looked at Lin Xian and asked with great interest: "Lin, Silent City is facing enemy attacks at any time. My first move has been made. It's your turn."

Lin Xian was surprised: "Aren't we... on the same side?"

"Is there any problem with taking two moves at the same time?"

Lin Xian:...

Lin Xian slowly gave Mochizuki Shinji a thumbs up, then he restrained his expression, was silent for a few seconds, and said: "Okay, then the second move..."

"Silent City, take off!"

1:30 AM, the night wind was vast, and the starry sky was like ink.

Chen Sixuan led a group of Infinite and all the combat personnel of the joint train convoy to gather on the combat deck at this time, and the entire Silent City was in a state of alert.

Just at this time, a huge shock sound came, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Kong!

At the bottom of this giant mechanical floating city, thousands of propulsion arrays lit up at the same time, blue-white ion streams poured out from the honeycomb-shaped nozzles, branding huge circular scorch marks on the air, rows of heat dissipation fins flipped up layer by layer, and the four giant floating city starry sky thrusters began to roar!

"Attention all city, enter the countdown to take off."

"Attention all vehicle parking areas, please check and fix the vehicles."

"Attention, the flight deck enters the air control state, please all personnel return to the city area and cabins."

The mechanical female voice echoed in every street and deck, and all the survivors and Silent City residents who were guarding were stunned, countless people looked up and exclaimed.

"Take off?!"

"What's going on!!"

"Silent City is going to float!"

Buzz buzz buzz.

On both sides of the deck, dozens of electromagnetic railguns and anti-aircraft ray towers began to rise, and the cloud area began to close the walking passage.

On the ground, the giant tracks began to be recycled. Accompanied by the powerful lift, this behemoth weighing 13.1 million tons caused a strong earthquake. The roar of metal resounded, and a large amount of mud and gravel from the tracks began to fall like rain.

In the darkness, this giant floating city slowly took off!!
