Chapter 574 Is this how humans treat their children?
"Later, Alice got on the train. This time, she found that everyone on the train had disappeared. But soon a voice responded to her, "I am Knight, the conductor of this train." Alice looked around and asked, "Mr. Conductor, why can't I see you?" Knight just laughed and said, "You are in my belly, how can you see me?" Yes, since Alice entered this world, it is no longer an ordinary world."
There were only a few Alice's left to inspect here, and Jimmy was no longer in a hurry. He began to slowly listen to Alice telling her fairy tales.
Yes, it is her fairy tale. Rather than being a fairy tale told to her by the Doctor, it is more like the process of Alice’s understanding of the world.
"Warning: The system power load continues to be tight. Emergency power supply will be carried out according to the No. 5 power supply plan. Switching countdown, five minutes."
Suddenly, alarms rang throughout the computer room. The rapid ringing of the alarms changed the expressions of Alice and Jimmy.
"..." Alice's face was full of surprise.
Jimmy, on the other hand, looked at it a few more times, "…what happened?"
"There's something wrong with the power supply. Once the No. 5 power supply plan is implemented, not only will the base's daily electricity consumption be affected... my "terminal interface" - or body - will also be forced to enter a dormant state."
“…Yes, is there something wrong with the power generation equipment?”
Generally speaking, this situation is most likely caused by a problem with the power generation equipment.
"Wait a moment, I'll check the situation..." Alice's pupils were empty, and faint data flows and electric currents appeared. "...No, the power supply is completely normal. It's the demand for electricity that has suddenly increased sharply. The reason for the sudden increase in electricity consumption is... the radio base station?"
"Radio base station..." Jimmy began to think about what kind of situation would cause a sharp increase in the energy consumption of a radio base station.
Suddenly, Alice's expression changed drastically, "...Ah! What should I do! What should I do!? What should I do!??"
[Alice] This reaction made Jimmy a little at a loss, "Calm down, calm down, what happened?"
"Can't calm down?! Something terrible has happened! It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I forgot to be on guard against "that plan"!"
While they were still dealing with the inexplicable situation and before Jimmy had time to ask what was going on, Alice suddenly fell down.
“[Alice]!”
It was with great difficulty that Alice's heavy body was brought to the hibernation chamber in the control room. However, it did not look to be in good condition. The power supply machines around it had already shown varying degrees of low energy consumption, and some even tripped.
"I'm sorry, Jimmy, I can only communicate with you in this way." Alice, who was lying in the culture tank, communicated with Jimmy, but with the help of the machine's voice. "Although we can't shut down or destroy the radio base station from the outside because we can't find any exposed cables...but at least...thank you for helping me...helping me bring this body that has been disconnected from control back to the hibernation chamber. I know this is completely incomparable to the chaos that the outside world is experiencing, but - this. Because of this, I want to thank you...thank you for taking care of me...as you know, I was created by the doctor, so I don't have full control over my own functions."
"I was greedy and wanted to wait until the end - until I had told all the stories I could, just like Scheherazade in One Thousand and One Nights, and then told you the part of the truth I was holding back. But I didn't expect that the program had been running in my background from the beginning. Now it suddenly began to consume electricity crazily and plunder various management rights. It must have cracked the communication code of the target and finally started to take the initiative to attack!"
"Active attack?" Jimmy suddenly became curious. Wasn't that doctor's research aimed at studying artificial intelligence?
To be honest, the doctor's design and ideas have exceeded Watt's imagination. Surprisingly, isn't "Alice" the most important?
"Yes, but considering all the circumstances, the power consumption of the radio base station has increased so horribly - only the doctor's "that plan" can be possible." Although Alice did not speak, Jimmy still heard Alice's apology, "I'm sorry for not telling you the whole truth, leaving you unprepared for such a development... and I myself, who did not have sufficient authority, could not have truly investigated the implementation status of "that plan" before. I was so stupid, like a stupid child, blindly believing that my parents would not hide anything dangerous from me, blindly believing that it was just some paper talk. In fact, everything is prepared in order, right? Even if they abandon me, the plan that has been put on the agenda will still operate as usual. Even... when I didn't know, they had quietly strengthened the radio base station to a level that ordinary people could not destroy at all... You don't have to comfort me, this is all my fault! I was too intoxicated by the seemingly beautiful and subtle atmosphere before, and I remembered the most terrible fact. My machine, its original and most core design goal - is a weapon for information warfare."
"Weapons..." Jimmy Watt had never felt this way before. He felt depressed and suffocated just because of Alice's words.
"The Doctor... and his assistants... want to use my machine to destroy the city that abandoned them. They want to use their most proud robots to destroy them personally. Alice's current consciousness is probably just a byproduct created by the Doctor to relieve boredom. Alice's personality is just a decoration of the human body terminal "Alice"? Like a doll? Because when they really need me, my will itself is exactly what they don't need! Is this how humans treat their children, Jimmy?"
Jimmy couldn't answer this question, and didn't know how to answer it. Perhaps at this time, he needed someone like Li Ming who could talk nonsense in any situation. Perhaps people like them could truly guide confused people like Alice!
But Schrödinger received bad news.
Ding-ling-ling-ling——Ding-ling-ling-ling——
"It's me, yes, I'm in the computer room. What's the fuss? What happened?" Shelley hung up the receiver, her tipsy eyes suddenly widened, and she looked much more energetic. "...What? The robots are "all crazy"??...What happened?! Explain it to me clearly."
The city hall is in chaos.
