Chapter 389: Hidden Councillor
"Wait a minute, I'm a little confused..."
Shen Bai rubbed his eyebrows and said to the old insect:
"You mean, the congressman named Luo Tong is an artificial intelligence? Not a human being?"
"Absolutely true."
"What he said is true, Xiaobai." Xiao Dingbo interrupted at this time:
"The highest power center of the federation is the thirteen members. Among them, there is indeed an artificial intelligence named [Chaos Boy]. It is the highest masterpiece of modern technology, possessing terrifying computing power and true self-awareness."
"So, Luantong is one of the four [hidden councilors]."
"good."
Shen Bai secretly thought that it was indeed the case.
The highest authority in the federation is the thirteen members of parliament.
Nine of them live under the sun and are well known to the world. In addition to federal members, they also hold other important responsibilities, such as "President of the Human Alliance", "Federal Military Governor", "Honorary President of the Apocalypse Association"...
You must first become a member of parliament before you can sit in these most prestigious official positions.
Some of them don't possess military force, some are out-of-service guardians, some fight their way out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the border, and some have family roots...
But no matter who they are, these nine congressmen live in the sun, their growth trajectory is clearly visible, and their names are known to every federal citizen.
They are called "official members".
On the contrary, there are four "hidden members".
The identity of the hidden congressman remains a mystery and he never appears in public view.
But the power they hold is also huge. Considering that they are not subject to public supervision, the hidden members can do more than the regular members in some aspects.
The federation's explanation for this is that humans need a special insurance mechanism to ensure that when "all nine members die or are unable to think normally", someone can take over the power in time, so that the top decision-making level of the federation will not be
Immediately paralyzed.
Shen Bai didn't really believe this statement before, but now it seems that his judgment is correct.
The reason why Councilor Yin didn’t show up was definitely his “identity” which cannot be ignored.
Allowing artificial intelligence to have huge power, allowing it to think, allow it to lie, and even allow it to make decisions at the expense of human beings will inevitably set off huge waves.
Stability is the cornerstone of the existence of a huge society.
An idea flashed in Shen Bai's mind and he looked at Xiao Dingbo beside him.
"Doctor, could it be that..."
"That's right." Xiao Dingbo did not deny it, but readily admitted:
"I have fallen to where I am today, from a promising vice-president to a fugitive today, precisely because I tried to assassinate the lawmaker."
Shen Bai wondered:
"Assassinate an...artificial intelligence? With all due respect, doctor, this seems pointless. Do you want to remove its power supply? Or unplug its network cable?"
"Although the prostitute has a prosthetic body customized by the Academy of Sciences, its intelligent core can be hidden in the ocean of the Internet. Every terminal in the Federation may be its habitat. I cannot eliminate it with my power.
it."
"Then why are you?"
In the remote bathroom of the Crystal Theater, Xiao Dingbo faced several companions he met for the first time and an old spy, as if he had returned to the long-awaited classroom.
"Friends, remember that thought and cognition are the most powerful weapons in the world."
"Although fists and feet are sharp, guns and cannons are powerful, the Apocalypse is born noble, and the gods of the past are too powerful to be completely destroyed... These seemingly powerful weapons are ultimately no match for thought and cognition."
"I don't know why the federal congressmen made such a decision, but when the promiscuous child became a hidden congressman, the third type of intelligent life, different from humans and mutants, was officially born... Artificial intelligence, I don't trust it.
.”
Zhang Yuanzhen frowned:
"Are you afraid that artificial intelligence will rebel? It's unfounded. I have a friend at the Academy of Sciences who is the director of special research. He told me that the core logic of all artificial intelligence is to "care for human beings", just like we need water and food, a life
, how can it be possible to violate the desires engraved in the essence?”
"You're right." Xiao Dingbo chuckled:
"Members of the Federation are all outstanding people who were chosen at once. What I can see, they can also see. Maybe sixteen years ago, there were more unknown inside stories. I understand all these, but...
"
He paused and said in a calm tone:
"But what if this is a wrong decision? Before I assassinated the promiscuous child and became a fugitive, I was a teacher. I know very well that the purpose of education is to allow people to have independent judgment and not be coerced by the public and authority.
.”
"I think artificial intelligence becoming a member of parliament is a way to cause chaos and will lead to disaster."
"So even though I know I won't succeed in assassinating it, by doing so, I can let more like-minded people see it. This alone is enough."
The bathroom was silent.
After a long time, the old Chong, who was surrounded by everyone, clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"It's no wonder it's Dr. Xiao Dingbo Xiao."
"Stop talking nonsense! Keep talking." Lu Long, the meatball seller, gave him a push, indicating that the old insect would continue to spit out the information.
Unexpectedly, the old insect just smiled and shook his head:
"I've said everything I know."
Lu Longli snorted coldly:
"What kind of information is this that can lead to death? It's just a fact."
Xiao Dingbo shook his head, pressed the old insect's neck, and squeezed it hard. The old spy who had been hiding for many years died immediately.
"It's not just as simple as it seems. Sixteen years ago, the only profiteer was the promiscuous child councilor... This means that today's top federal officials may be suspected of persecuting Emperor Wuhui's wife and children. This alone can make
It’s enough to cause public opinion to explode.”
The old insect's body slowly fell down, and in the bathroom, the five people who formed a temporary team stood quietly.
"What should we do next?" Shen Bai grabbed his hair and asked:
"I'm still wondering why Xiaofu, the artificial intelligence in Crystal City, let us catch the old bug and gave us time to ask for information..."
"I can partially answer this question." Xiao Dingbo seemed to know everything:
"In the huge and complex mechanism of the Federation, there are extremely detailed regulations on the protection of guardians' personal documents. At the same time, in order to maintain social stability, the Federation will also send force to secretly eliminate unsettled elements... Therefore, we are now in a very dangerous situation.
situation."
"We have secrets that may cause unrest, and most of us are fugitives who can be killed."
"What do you think the Federation will do with us?"
…
While the five people were talking, underground in Crystal City, a secret room with countless electronic tubes and wire machinery was operating at full speed.
This artificial intelligence core named "Xiao Fu" uploads a large amount of information to the center of the divine capital.
