Chapter 61 061 Unknown
- The time interval between fires is too long, so it shouldn't matter much. 'Li Chengyi felt more and more confused behind this foggy street.
"It seems that this painting should be what we are looking for." Sindra sighed, with the astonishment in her eyes still remaining from the fact she had just heard.
Not only him, but also several other people had shock on their faces, more or less feeling a sense of horror.
Could the blind spot on the foggy street be a scene in a painting?
The gray foggy old street where they went in before, where people died, might actually be derived from a painting.
No one could have imagined this, and even a few people present felt it was a bit ridiculous.
Immediately, Sindra took the initiative to negotiate with the old man, hoping to buy the painting, and said that money was not an issue.
The old man shouted to him decisively that this was his ancestor's treasure and was not for sale!
"One hundred thousand!" Syndra looked calm.
"This is my grandfather's hard work!" the old man said angrily.
"Five million!" Syndra whispered.
"Are you using money to insult me!?!" The old man blushed and his neck became thick.
"One million!" Sindra said this was the last offer.
"Well, forget it, since you like this painting so much, you must cherish it very much." The old man looked sad, "Even if my grandfather is still alive, he would be extremely pleased that someone could spend so much money on his painting. Price acquisition. This is also an affirmation for him!"
Several people were speechless and didn't know what to say to the old man.
Li Chengyi, on the other hand, has been carefully studying the details of the streets in the painting since he started negotiating the price.
'here! 'Suddenly his eyes froze, his fingers gently touched the canvas, and his fingertips landed at the foot of a cement street lamp.
There is a small gray flower swaying in the wind. That's what he wants.
"Boss, do you really not remember the name of that comic book?" After agreeing on the price, Sindra asked reluctantly.
"I can't remember, but it should be related to the subject of artificial intelligence. At that time, anti-artificial intelligence developed to anti-machinery, anti-technology, and anti-intelligence. Anyway, everything involving electrical appliances must be anti-anti. The comic book seems to be similar to this It's based on the subject matter." The old man replied with a smile.
"It was true at that time, these kinds of books have probably been destroyed now, right?" Syndra reacted, a glimmer of understanding flashing in her eyes.
"Yes. In those days, there was some solidarity group that claimed that the essence of technology is evil." The old man nodded.
"Yes, the main purpose of the Solidarity Association is to declare that technology itself is born to give birth to mechanical life and intelligent life. The end
of this road must be to give birth to a mechanical intelligent life form that is far more powerful than human beings. We They are all nutrients in the placenta.
So they believe that technology itself is anti-human. In the end, humans will be exterminated and mechanical life will rule everything." Syndra said solemnly.
"The Solidarity Association should be the predecessor of the terrorist organization Xinghu, right?" Song Ran suddenly said on the side.
"Well, both are one." Syndra nodded.
"Why does technology inevitably give birth to intelligent life?" Zhong Ying couldn't help but ask, "How are they connected with such a stupid causal relationship?" "
Because it is related to a technological competition." Li Chengyi explained aloud.
"When I was in college, I also read the information about that time. The Solidarity Association believes that technological competition and national power competition between countries will inevitably prompt the national government to desperately pursue a higher technological level, stronger social efficiency, and computing power. Speed, calculation accuracy, etc.
In these fields, the gap between countries with artificial intelligence and countries without artificial intelligence will expand rapidly over time.
Because powerful artificial intelligence can greatly improve many fields The research speed is much higher than that of humans in terms of military capabilities. So..."
Li Chengyi paused.
"So, this forces all countries to embark on a path of desperately developing artificial intelligence. The final result is to make artificial intelligence more and more perfect and more powerful. This is also what the Solidarity Association is worried about. Because it is
too Powerful artificial intelligence is very likely to eventually break away from the constraints of humans and evolve into a complete life." "
This is the essence of capital. The two are very similar." Syndra sighed.
"Yes, capitalists will also be held hostage by capital for similar reasons and cannot help themselves." Li Chengyi nodded.
In his past and present lives, although he majored in plant care, he had read quite a few miscellaneous books. The records of the Solidarity Conference were also recalled at this time.
"If you don't say so much, Zhong Ying, go up and make sure everything is okay and then we'll leave!" Sindra said solemnly.
The purpose of their coming here was to help Zhong Ying get through this difficult time.
Now that the source of the dead spot has been found, the next step is how to get out of it.
Zhong Ying slowly stepped forward and carefully checked it up and down. After making sure it was intact, she asked the boss to seal the entire painting, put it in a wooden box, and stuff it with fixing foam. The entire painting was immediately wrapped tightly.
After Syndra and the old man confirmed that the transfer was successful, they quickly left the bookstore and got on the off-road vehicle.
The other people followed closely and got into the car.
Song Ran started the engine and drove the car slowly toward the villa.
"Now that we have the painting, how do we find a way to escape?" Sima Gui asked with a hint of doubt on his face.
In the car, Li Chengyi glanced around and saw Zhong Ying with her head lowered and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, looking a little nervous.
Both Sima Gui and Sindra were staring at the painting, thoughtfully.
"Out of Fali, according to the reproduction method, we can determine the last person who came into contact with the slot machine, or this painting." Syndra said.
"That is Bai Shaopeng himself, the last one." Sima Gui replied. "Then the escape method we need is to follow everything Bai Shaopeng did and do it again." Syndra said matter-of-factly, "But now we have no way to find out how many things he did before he was the last one to touch the painting. "
So, we should use the ice-breaking method." Song Ran continued.
"What is the ice-breaking method?" Li Chengyi heard this statement for the first time.
"That is, when the situation has no clue at all, like a frozen block of ice, at this time, we must use a head-on approach to quickly change the situation and break the ice block." Song Ranyan explained briefly and comprehensively.
"How to fight head-on?" Li Chengyi was puzzled.
"It's very simple." Song Ran continued, "Significant events usually occur in blind spots, and we artificially recreate such events. Usually at this time, we will forcefully guide the blind spots into a reenactment environment." "Reenactment environment?" Li Chengyi seemed
to Somewhat understood.
"Yes, in a reenactment environment, the blind spots will return to their original state. In this process, many clues to the escape method will naturally emerge. At the same time, the ice-breaking method may also accelerate the disappearance and fading of the blind spots." Syndra took over the conversation.
"The disappearance of the dead spots, through data summary and research, we found that it is related to the connecting objects. The so-called ice-breaking method has another purpose, which is to destroy the connecting objects to reduce the intensity of the dead spots, causing them to disappear and weaken faster."
His These words made Li Chengyi feel a little bad.
"So, your ice-breaking method is to destroy this painting?"
"This is the simplest way. We have done it many times. This method can effectively reduce the danger and complexity of blind spots." Syndra nodded. .
"The boss is so generous! Throw away millions of paintings at a moment's notice." Sima Gui started to flatter him without saying a word.
Zhong Ying also had a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and she was obviously feeling more relaxed.
Only Li Chengyi thought of that little white flower
"By the way, do dead-end contact objects count as living people?" He suddenly thought of a question and asked aloud.
"Naturally. The fewer connecting objects, the lower the risk of blind spots." Syndra nodded, "Did you remember your last blind spot experience?"
Li Chengyi nodded.
"The killing of the boss of Ashe Company may have been a positive help to me at that time." "
Maybe, no one can tell whether it helped or not." Syndra sighed.
He reached out and picked up the picture frame covered by the cloth and handed it to Zhong Ying.
"What is certain is that this painting is absolutely closely related to Fog Street. It is a very important connection, so you decide whether to destroy it or not." Zhong Ying took the frame hesitantly
.
"If the ice is broken, will I survive?"
"I don't know, it depends on your luck. If it is important for blind spots, maybe the danger in the fog street will be much reduced. But, if you think about it clearly, it is also possible to break the ice. Leading to the deterioration of the situation. We have also encountered this probability. Therefore, compared to the re-engraving method, icebreaking is often used only as a last resort." Syndra explained in a low voice.
After listening, Zhong Ying fell into silence for a while.
The boss is really interesting. He will give her the right to dispose of the painting he bought for one million yuan.
This attention made Zhong Ying feel deeply grateful to him.
But what is she going to do at this time?
Li Chengyi wanted to speak at the side. As a third party, he naturally did not want big changes in the blind spot of Fog Street. He hoped that Fog Street would reappear in a while and the white flowers would still be there.
But if Zhong Ying chooses to destroy the contact object and use the ice-breaking method, no one can tell what the fog street will look like by then.
His little white flower is red in the mountains. No one knows whether it will still be there when the time comes.
The car kept shaking as it moved forward.
Zhong Ying held the frame tightly and sat in her seat, biting her lips, her eyes wandering and struggling.
Time passed little by little until it was almost time to arrive at the villa.
"I've decided!" Zhong Ying's eyes finally became firm.
"I'm going to burn it!"
"Imitate fire?" Syndra understood instantly.
Several other people also thought of this.
The fire before Xue Zhong Road was a bit strange, and it might have something to do with the blind spot on the foggy street.
After all, over the years, Wujie couldn't just bring in Zhong Ying, it would definitely bring in new people in a steady stream.
Among those newcomers, maybe some of them managed to escape. And the method used by these people is definitely not the ice-breaking method, because the painting is still in their hands, and most of them are not that strong.
So they most likely used the replica method.
In a short period of time, several people felt that the replicating method might be related to the fire.
Several people in the car were looking forward to this.
Only Li Chengyi opened his mouth and sighed silently.
There was no way he could stop Zhong Ying from pursuing her own life. Therefore, at this moment, he could only remain silent.
After a while, the group of people arrived at the villa's ceiling and formed a circle on the roof.
Zhong Ying placed the painting on the ground, then picked up the gasoline bucket and poured it on lightly.
