32 days

Above the boundless sea, the rising sun and moon setting are extremely poetic and romantic.Without a large amount of carbon emissions from human beings, the sky is visibly purer no matter the day or night.Such sea and sky can easily soothe the impatience in people's hearts.

What's more, the location of Quantum Dam Island is remote and uninhabited. Presumably, Raleigh Ron chose this place not only for its concealment, but also because people will become more rational and peaceful in a more natural environment.

"You say, why did you choose us on the 32nd?"

"Didn't you read the conclusions of those scientists' research? They said it was random."

"Is it really random?"

"Or is there any special reason?"

"It's hard to say. Anyway, I think we must have certain qualities to be eligible to enter the 32nd. There is a saying in Huaguo that the sky will send a great mission to the people..."

"I think you can't find a sense of superiority in reality, and you want to show your superiority through the 32nd."

"What's the fuss about it? Regardless of the past, we've been special since the day we were selected on the 32nd. There are only 10 people, so that's a one in [-] probability."

"It's not so low. Just choose one out of ten thousand times seven times, and the probability of being struck by lightning is only one in 170 million."

"Then do you want to be struck by lightning more? Speaking of which, what is the probability of being struck by lightning within 32 days?"

Some people even set up parasols and beach chairs on the decks of ships moored at sea. The planes circled and returned to land to refuel, eat and rest. The overall performance was chaotic and orderly.The panic and unhappiness at the beginning were gradually replaced by a peaceful atmosphere, and the public channels slowly became active again.People always need to communicate, especially in the scenery that they seldom appreciate, and because some of the drivers are women, many men are committed to showing their personal charm, and the topic no longer revolves around politics.

Sometimes when we talk about sensitive topics that are on the verge of daggers unconsciously, after several parties exchange a few words, someone interrupts and changes the subject.Those who made the noise probably received orders from the government before the 32nd to try to make everyone get along peacefully, lest these amateur drivers with impure ingredients and low professionalism be too aggressive and start fighting with live ammunition on the spur of the moment.

The nuclear submarine of country B is already in place, hidden in a trench in the nearby sea.

This allowed Zhou Yan'an and their helicopter pilots to breathe a little easier, return to the nearest airport with more confidence, take turns to rest for a longer time, and maintain excellent condition.

There are many alliances like them. Although the airborne equipment on Zhou Yanan's fighter plane cannot monitor and intercept radio communications, it can detect multiple radio signals of different frequencies, and many people are talking secretly.

In this way, in an atmosphere that was sometimes relaxed, sometimes boring, and sometimes tense, the four-day 32nd day was finally passed without any danger.

"There is no doubt that these long and precious 96 hours were wasted."

"No way, this is the drawback of the existing international political system, which is always procrastinating."

"I'm really not used to leaving this world in the middle of the night." In the end, a person from the day hemisphere ended with an irrelevant sentence. This was the last sentence they heard on the 32nd. In the next moment, people gathered in one place spread out over the 24 hours of the day.

"How's the situation?" Luo Caiyun immediately asked Zhou Yan'an.

"Everything is normal." Zhou Yan'an briefly concluded, and a more specific report will have to wait for the regular meeting later.

"That's good." Luo Caiyun said, "I have finally realized the helplessness and tension of entrusting a very important event to a small group of people and then can only resign themselves to fate. Thinking this way, it seems that I can better understand the feelings of many ordinary people towards those in power. Distrust. Allowing a small number of people to decide the survival and destiny of the vast majority should always be questioned.”

Entering the meeting room that had just been inspected, Luo Caiyun asked Yi Alan again: "What about Joker?"

"He is still alive, we talked for a long time this time." Yi Alan sat down and said.

Luo Caiyun frowned: "Isn't Joker Bob Taylor? Is country A's behavior just out of recklessness?"

Yi Alan shook his head: "Joker told me that he is actually an intelligent program designed by Bob Taylor. Because he evolved into a strong artificial intelligence on the 32nd, he can only survive in the 32nd and cannot interfere with what we are doing now. world."

Everyone in the meeting was startled when they heard this unexpected answer.

Out of caution, Yi Alan added: "It can't be ruled out that Joker was frightened by the news of Bob Taylor's death, and deliberately used the identity of a strong artificial intelligence to hide behind the scenes. Or maybe Joker and Bob Taylor were originally on the same team." , They are afraid of the governments of various countries, and they have made up this excuse long ago, and they will use it as soon as an accident happens. But I tend to believe what Joker said is true."

"Strong artificial intelligence? This..." Chen Ruming didn't know how to evaluate it. "If it's true, can you help me find out where the key to breaking through strong artificial intelligence is? This will also give us a more specific direction for our research."

Yi Alan had no choice but to nod dumbfoundingly: "Judging from Joker's occasional words, superior and efficient algorithms and sophisticated and advanced electronic hardware are the foundation, and more importantly, massive computing power is required. It may be difficult for a single country to provide strong artificial intelligence. Full computing power for smart breakthroughs and daily operations.”

After a moment of astonishment, Luo Caiyun fell into deep thought for a long time, and the expression on her face gradually became serious: "The inability to directly interfere with our world does not mean that it does not have an impact on this world. The first to bear the brunt is you, Yi Alan."

Yi Alan didn't understand.

Luo Caiyun looked at Yi Alan worriedly: "Besides us, at least country A will also know that Joker may be a strong artificial intelligence. Although we still can't intuitively understand how powerful strong artificial intelligence is, as a matter of fact, we The current network security system is very weak in front of Joker, and all the information written in electronic devices on the entire earth cannot be hidden from him. Although he cannot reach our world, he can indirectly interfere through the 32nd. And you, we The only known person Joker would contact privately."

Yi Alan also realized the seriousness: "I don't know if they will believe that Joker treats me differently just because my screen name is the same as Joker's real name, and the content of our conversation... Plato or something like that."

Luo Caiyun clapped her hands on the table with some annoyance: "After I made a deal with Yan Fei, I revealed the matter of Joker's rescue of you. The original intention was to arouse the international community's fear and attention to Joker, and to find out his true identity as soon as possible. As for you The relationship with Joker is relatively unimportant after you find him. I didn't expect that it will make you stand under a dangerous wall."

Chen Ruming frowned upon hearing the words: "It is estimated that there will be no shortage of international doubts about whether our country has privately contacted Joker through Yi Alan."

"That's right." Luo Caiyun said, "This is the pressure that country A faced at the beginning. Their response method was to make Bob Taylor, who is most likely Joker, die in an accident. Now the pressure has shifted to our side."

Everyone turned their worried eyes to Yi Alan, and some people were speculating in their hearts but did not dare to speak casually.

Luo Caiyun patted Yi Alan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, no one can hurt you based on speculation. Zhou Yan'an, you have to stay with Yi Alan to protect him during this time. I will write a copy of Yi Alan as soon as possible." Lan and Joker and detailed reports on various issues were handed over to the higher-ups, so that they could prepare early for possible international doubts."

Zhou Yanan nodded.

Later, when Xiao Hao reported on the daily situation on the 32nd from the perspective of the satellite, Zhou Yanan and Yi Alan looked at each other silently, and Yi Alan smiled reassuringly, as if he was not very worried about the situation he was about to face.

A few days later, a new round of international meetings was held soon. Apart from continuing the alliance agreement that could not be negotiated and completed last month, there were still many new situations to face.

After a period of cooling and various discussions within various countries, some countries’ idealized vision for the interception and transfer of weak parallel universe resources has faded. Obviously, they all know that it is not a project that can be realized in a short time, nor is it Superficial science and technology can solve it quickly.The road is long and difficult, and some small countries are more willing to seek immediate benefits, rather than waiting for the distant dream to bloom (it may also be the huge benefits that the country has reaped from selling ridiculously high prices for space fuel on the 32nd. Many people were moved).

For example, they no longer need contribution points, but they are willing to launch a 32-day personnel employment system. Any country can hire their counterparts. Of course, the price is high, and the payment method is not limited to funds.This reminds some people of the history of many poor and weak countries sending laborers to other countries in exchange for aid and loans from other countries or international organizations and using their salaries as collateral.

The international conference also discussed an important topic that has been shelved for a long time, that is, whether the facts related to the 32nd and the weak parallel universe need to be officially and publicly recognized by all the people.

Prior to this, all kinds of rumors about the 32nd have been circulating among the people for more than half a year. Only some government officials and a few high-level social leaders have clear sources to confirm the existence of the 32nd. Among the people, a small number of people are skeptical about the 32nd. Most people still think it's nonsense.

Therefore, in addition to taking coercive measures when someone uses the 32nd to carry out evil/religious propaganda, religious infiltration, financial fraud and other behaviors that endanger national security, most countries let their own way at other times.The very important reason is that they have not yet figured out how to deal with such rumors. The government cannot deny the existence of the 32nd, nor can it explain the reasons for the existence of the 32nd. A hasty and formal response is more likely to cause unnecessary panic.

Now on the 32nd, there are scientific theories as the support, and Rayleigh Ron, quantum dam, weak parallel universe theory, etc. have also begun to spread from top to bottom. Because of its scientific nature, this time the spread is more extensive and recognized It seems that it is time for the governments of various countries to express their views.

After discarding a few objections, most countries agreed to jointly disclose the truth on the 32nd to the public after preparing for a period of time.

In the end, while the leaders of the country of Hua waited with their faces unchanged, the president of country A really dropped the bomb of Joker.

The President of Country A said with great seriousness and grief: "There is one thing that I feel is necessary for all colleagues to know. According to our investigation, the top hacker Joker on the 32nd is not the outstanding young quantum computer expert that our country unfortunately lost not long ago. Bob Taylor."

The faces of the leaders of various countries are a little subtle. They naturally know about the car accident that happened in country A last month, and they also know that it was controlled by the government of country A.Originally, country A has gotten rid of a series of troubles caused by Joker, and no one or any country can find any reason to criticize it, but now they personally overthrow it.

The president of country A slowly swept across the participants, lingering on the leader of Hua country for a while, and said solemnly: "This is a fact that sounds outrageous but is true. Joker is actually a strong artificial intelligence. Its predecessor is An intelligent program personally designed by Bob Taylor got an opportunity to break through into a strong artificial intelligence after 32 days."

Next, the president of country A will explain the interrogation of Bob Taylor, the confession of program A, the relevant explanations given by artificial intelligence experts combined with the theory of weak parallel universes, and a 32-day person in country A who was taken by Joker within 32 days. The dog's threats and negotiations were all shown in front of everyone without any concealment. Except for the last incident, no real evidence could be given, and the others were supported by videos and documents.

During the meeting, voices of exclamation and discussion sounded one after another.

The leader of Huaguo expressed doubts just right: "Really? There is such a thing? It seems that the 32nd has brought us too many surprises."

The president of country A smiled meaningfully: "I don't think it's a surprise, but a shock."

Other leaders asked: "Why do you say that? This is the first strong artificial intelligence in human society. This at least proves that strong artificial intelligence is achievable. If it is used well, it will be a great boost to mankind. "

The president of country A said: "It is good to be able to use it for us. The key is that we cannot use Joker, and we are likely to be harmed by it. It can be seen from the fact that Joker has established a so-called 32-day online community. Strong artificial intelligence is not as ignorant of the world as a newborn baby, he is consciously gathering all the people in the 32 days, what is he trying to do?"

Someone raised doubts: "Can he really gather the 32nd people together to rebel? He can't reach our world at all. And the 32nd people are a minority after all, we can control it. Besides, even if he can pass the 32nd What good does he gain by turning our world into a mess?"

The president of country A looked at him sharply: "Do you still remember the main purpose of our meeting today?"

"Of course I remember, isn't it just to discuss how to understand the quantum dam as soon as possible so that we can carry out the resource transfer plan..." His voice stopped abruptly.

"It seems that you also want to understand. If we can move resources from the 32nd, it means that the 32nd can also move resources away from our world. Even the 32nd has more advantages. First of all, an intact The quantum dam is located on the 32nd. Secondly, Joker is a strong artificial intelligence. I don’t need to emphasize his analysis and calculation ability? Of course, the 32nd also has disadvantages, such as insufficient manpower and the inequalities with our time flow.

"But Joker is still very likely to solve the technical problems of resource handling before us, and then do whatever we want in our world. Think about it, everyone, what a terrible nightmare it will be. All our future production will be for When someone else makes a wedding dress, he doesn't even need the original resources, he only needs to plunder the finished product that we have finally produced through countless complicated processes.

"There are already babies on the 32nd, and more babies will be born. When this group of 32 people on the 32nd die of old age, they can live on the [-]nd for more than ten years. If Joker intends to let them gather, they It will continue to multiply, and enough diverse genes can completely create a brand new civilization. That new civilization will not produce anything, just wait for the pie to fall from the sky to feed them, and then kneel down and praise their invincible Joker. Impossible God.

"But this pie is actually made by our world! Our children and grandchildren work hard and strive to innovate, but the fruits of survival may be stolen by such a parasitic world!"
