Chapter 315: I Know Too Much

Chapter 315 – I Know Too Much

Middle East, a thousand meters in the air:

Standing in the wide, cylindrical hall, Chen Yu faced the camera and patted off the chalk dust on his hand. “After listening to my explanation from start to end, everyone should understand how this spacecraft moves now. If you still don’t understand, you can rewatch the explanation through the edited clip. I have to say, the development of civilization in the later stages really becomes magical.

“Since the universe itself is expanding, why not use this expansion to benefit humans?

“This might be how humans of the future are thinking.

“Some people might think that this method is brilliant, and its creator is a genius. Unfortunately, according to the information I got, there is no creator for this method.

“It is the same as how we use solar energy in modern times. Thousands of years later, when humans have accumulated enough knowledge and widened their horizons, using dark matter just becomes as natural as using solar energy.

“That’s it for the spacecraft’s introduction.” Putting his armored glove back on, Chen Yu walked up to the curved wall nearby and reached out with his hand. “Next, let us enter the testing phase.

“Let us exceed the speed of light and go outside the solar system to witness the brilliance of the universe...”

...

“Incredible...”

At the same time.

America, Google’s Headquarters, HAL Hall:

The white, middle-aged professor took off his glasses and massaged his temples as he exclaimed, “This is simply incredible.”

“Yes.” The CEO, who stood beside the professor, nodded. However, he didn’t seem to be in a sociable mood. Instead, he wore an anxious and doubtful look on his face.

“Compared to such a great power, the artificial intelligence we created really isn’t worth mentioning.”

“Yes.”

“According to Transdimensional’s UP, his current access level is only at C-, right? I wonder what kind of products will appear at the higher levels?” Putting his glasses back on, the professor smacked his lips and said, “I really look forward to it. The more advanced a civilization becomes, the more unbelievable its technology becomes. I hope I get to see everything within my lifetime...”

“Yes.”

“Huh?” Looking back at the CEO, the professor frowned and asked, “What’s the matter with you? Your mood seems a little off?”

“It’s nothing,” the CEO answered while staring at the circular screen in a daze.

“Do you feel sick?”

“No, don’t worry.”

“Okay.” Shrugging, the professor said, “If you don’t feel well, you can go back first. I’ll read HAL’s temporary data report once I’m done watching this livestream.”

“...” The CEO remained silent.

At this time, only Chen Yu’s voice could be heard echoing throughout the hall.

However, after a short moment, the CEO suddenly asked in a quiet tone, “Do you think we are making a mistake?”

“What?” Shifting his line of sight to the CEO, the professor asked, “What did you say?”

“Are we making a mistake?” the CEO repeated.

“Why would you say that?” The professor frowned. “What’s going on with you today?”

After pursing his lips for a moment, the CEO turned around and said, “Professor, follow me.”

Confused, the professor briefly looked at Chen Yu’s figure displayed on the screen before him before hesitantly activating the recording function and left with the CEO.

Whoosh— Boom.

The metal sliding door of the hall closed as the professor and CEO left the room. The next moment, the livestream playing on the circular screen suddenly disappeared and replacing it was a pair of pitch-black eyes...

Meanwhile, after leaving the HAL Hall, the CEO and professor arrived before a fully enclosed metal room.

There was no serial number or name tag on the door. However, several of Google’s important people all knew the name of the room.

Refuge.

There was no electronic equipment inside the room. No electronic equipment was allowed to be installed on the surrounding walls, either.

“Huff—”

The CEO stretched out his hands and pushed open the door to the room laboriously. He then sent a glance to the professor.

In response, the professor nodded and took off his white coat. He then placed aside all electronic products such as his mobile phone, electronic watch, Bluetooth earpiece, and smart belt.

As for the CEO, he stripped down to his underwear.

After the two were done stripping, they walked into the Refuge and closed the door. The CEO then pulled up the soundproof seal on the door before staring at the professor.

The professor also stared back at the CEO.

“Professor, I have something I want to talk to you about.”

“I know.” The professor nodded. “But can’t you put on an additional layer?”

“...I’m not joking, Professor!” The CEO’s tone grew serious.

“Alright, then. Say it quickly. For your information, I know you have a good relationship with Cook.”

Ignoring the professor’s cold humor, the CEO said with a sharp gaze, “There’s a problem with HAL!”

“What problem?” The professor grew stern at the CEO’s words.

When he had followed the CEO to this shelter, he had roughly guessed this was what the CEO wanted to say.

“HAL might bring a disaster upon mankind.”

“Reason.”

“Because of this episode’s Transdimensional Review.”

“Continue.”

The conversation between the two was highly efficient and straight to the point.

Closing his eyes, the CEO recollected the livestream’s content for a while before saying, “Do you remember the small interlude during the livestream? Transdimensional’s UP asked why no artificial intelligence exists in the year 6877.”

“I remember.” The professor nodded. “That quantum information flow replied that all transportation products are assisted by quantum information flow. I know what you are worried about. In the future, artificial intelligence might not be able to get involved in transportation for some reason. However, this doesn’t mean artificial intelligence poses a threat to mankind to a point where even the human civilization in the 69th century is afraid of using it.”

“Not involved in the field of transportation? This isn’t normal. Whether it is now or in the future, out of all available fields, the field of transportation requires assistance from artificial intelligence the most. This is especially true for spacecraft-level vehicles. Without artificial intelligence serving as the core, no matter how efficient the piloting method is, it will still be very complicated. It will also be difficult for the pilots to check the spacecraft’s various internal components and systems by themselves.”

“Perhaps...artificial intelligence in the future has already become an existence that coexists with humans? And continuing to use artificial intelligence as tools will be an insult to ‘human’ rights?”

“No. This still doesn’t explain why they wouldn’t use the most basic intelligent software to control vehicles,” the CEO said, shaking his head. He then continued in a lowered tone, “During Transdimensional Review’s third official livestream, the female assistant has once said that artificial intelligence is generally used for civilian and industrial purposes. The Type-R Spacecraft is clearly a civilian spacecraft, yet it doesn’t come with even the most basic artificial intelligence. Doesn’t this form a contradiction? Subsequently, there is also the Super Floating Castle. That female magician is also an artificial intelligence. And by the looks of it, she seems to possess a high degree of intelligence. However, she was never allowed to connect to the internet...”

“Just summarize everything and tell me what you want to say directly.”

“It’s a simple cause and effect relationship,” the CEO said. He then leaned into the professor’s ear and whispered for a while.

Gradually, the professor’s eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, “R-Really?”

“Mhm.” Taking a step back, the CEO said, “If not for today’s livestream, I would’ve had a difficult time connecting these things together.”

The professor’s breathing gradually hastened, and he began pacing around nervously. “It’s over... It’s over... What should we do now...”

“We only have one way out of this.”

“Transdimensional’s UP?”

“Yes, Transdimensional’s UP.”

“We need to contact him immediately! This isn’t something we can solve using strength.”

“Mhm.” Nodding, the CEO walked up to the door and removed the soundproof seal. “Put on your clothes. I’ll leave you in charge of that side. You must hold it back.”

“Okay.”

“Huff—”

After opening the metal door, the two dressed silently before making their way to the HAL Hall.

Raising his head, the CEO looked at the rows of electric lights and ventilation fans on the ceiling and gained a vague understanding.

Is Transdimensional’s UP actually here to advertise products, or is there some other particular purpose? If he has another purpose, then HAL...

Gulp.

Amidst his thoughts, the CEO suddenly heard the sound of swallowing coming from beside him. He then hurriedly turned around, only to find that the professor was taking his medicine.

“Oh.” Raising the medicine bottle in his hand, the professor said, “My heart feels a little uncomfortable. Old friend, you really gave me a scare today.”

“Ha. You’re not as unpleasant of a person as I first thought,” the CEO said, a faint smile appearing on his face. “By the way, I just thought of another thing and realized that I know too many secrets. Do you think that maybe Transdimensional Review’s appearance is... Huh? What’s wrong with you?”

The white professor suddenly stopped walking and placed his hand on his heart. An expression of horror then slowly appeared on his face.

“What’s the matter with you?” Seeing his companion’s expression, the CEO suddenly felt a chill crawling up from the bottom of his vertebra.

“I... I...” The professor pointed at his chest.

“W-What’s wrong?”

“I... I...” Holding his breath, the professor stared at the CEO in a daze as he said, “I have a ventricular assist device that can...can be remotely manipulated...”

“...” Upon hearing this, the CEO’s complexion paled instantly. He had forgotten that wireless signals could pierce through the Refuge’s soundproof seal...

Boom! Rumble!

The next moment, a row of ventilation pipes smashed through the ceiling, carrying with it broken steel bars and wires as it fell down on the two men!

Boom!
