Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

Obviously, the higher-ups need to find a way to explain this matter. But if it turns out that things aren't actually like that, the outcome could cause even bigger trouble for everyone.

"Give me time, and I will give you an answer."

Now, there are only seven hours left before we can give the AI ​​a final answer.

Therefore, if a response cannot be provided now, humanity will immediately revert to a primitive state after seven hours. This would cause even greater turmoil for the billions of people currently living worldwide.

"We need to find a solution to this. What's your opinion? You need to give me an answer now."

Tony, clearly at a loss, shook his head.

"I think we still have to solve this problem through technological means. After all, his current unexpected approach may be a trap. We've been monitoring it, but we still don't know what this artificial intelligence is up to."

Chen Tianfei is now feeling extremely guilty.

"How are you monitoring this? Such a big thing, don't you have any reaction at all? Do you really think that if things get really bad, my son will have to come and support you every day?"

Jiang Chuan is extremely frustrated right now, for a very simple reason: he hired Chen Tianfei at a high salary, and now, like Chen Fei, he is a chief scientist.

If it turns out in the end that it was completely unnecessary, then what's the point of spending so much money to support two useless people?

In fact, Chen Tianfei felt very guilty. But just as Jiang Chuan was about to lose his temper again, Xu Jiajia immediately walked up to him.

"What's the point of arguing now? The key is to find a solution. Our superiors are waiting for our call, Tony, don't you think?"

"Yes!"

In fact, the situation is becoming increasingly dangerous. Especially since Jones hasn't even had a chance to announce his condition publicly yet, artificial intelligence has already delivered a fatal blow to humanity.

Two more hours passed, and everyone continued discussing, but still couldn't come up with a solution. After all, the level of artificial intelligence, including its technology, has reached a point that is currently beyond our reach.

"I think we only have one option now, and that is to fight to the end. At the same time, if we directly announce a compromise with them now, artificial intelligence will rule the earth."

"Got it!"

Then, Xu Jiajia suddenly came up with a solution.

"Although artificial intelligence currently controls 30 percent of the world's wealth, there is one thing that may not have been anticipated: humans still hold the majority. If everyone were to choose to shut down all stock markets the next day, I think that could temporarily limit the spread."

"You mean to stop the entire economy from operating, is that what you mean? But if we really do that, then the daily market value losses of these big bosses will further increase."

Tony knew very well that many Atlantis owners were waiting for this step to reap the rewards, but they hadn't expected so many things to happen.

"The task now is not to make money, but to cut losses in time, understand? If we don't find a good way to resolve this and get this wealth back, who would dare to continue economic activities?"

“The problem is it’s impossible,” Tony said at that moment.

"No country has such strong organizational capabilities as yours. When problems arise, everyone can unite as one in the first instance."

Clearly, Tony has a very high opinion of the organizational capacity and the quality of the people in the Great Shang Kingdom. However, this does not mean that everyone in the world is like that.

"Take the plague that happened a while ago, for example. Back then, everyone on your side responded to your call and followed your arrangements completely. But when it came to our country, there were complaints and all sorts of protests and demonstrations. You're not unaware of this."

After thinking about this place, Tony shook his head.

"The problem is that there is no other way but to stop economic activity. If economic activity continues, the final result will be continued economic collapse, and humanity will return to a primitive society. Therefore, all countries in the world must unite now; there is no other way."

Tony thought about it carefully. While other countries around the world could indeed do this, Atlantis simply couldn't. After all, the local government had completely switched sides and become an appendage of artificial intelligence.

"If Atlantis chooses to continue its economic activities directly, the losses to the world will be significant."

“We know that, but now many of Atlantis’s financial systems are basically operating on an external basis. In other words, while we may not understand many things within your system, it is almost certain that your current economic activities are not meeting everyone’s expectations.”

And so, the current situation was reported directly to the higher authorities.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm certain that it's best to halt our economic activities as well. These are extraordinary times for the world, and any economic activity will result in losses. I don't think anyone wants their money to evaporate."

With only three hours left until the final compromise, everyone quickly convened another joint meeting to resolve the issue.

At the meeting, the situation became increasingly dangerous.

"I can tell you very clearly now that the environment you are in right now is truly terrifying. We have made all the preparations, but we are not sure if we have the ability to help you solve the problem."

"Hey!"

Everyone shook their heads after hearing this; it seemed that things had gotten out of control.

"But we don't want to compromise right now. I think you all know how difficult it has been for everyone to get here. If you're really willing, we can take it slowly. Our idea is very simple: first, stop all economic activities that can be stopped globally."

"it is good!"

At the same time, after all online transactions ceased, governments around the world immediately encouraged people to resume using paper money.

Because artificial intelligence simply cannot manipulate the financial system in the face of such real-world currency. Sure enough, after three hours, a major problem emerged: no institution chose to reopen its stock market. (End of Chapter)
