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

To ensure absolute security, all exchanges have now cut off their power.

The world suddenly became so bleak that people are now adapting in various ways. And now, all television programs have become the only hope for countless households.

However, the technology is different now. Especially now that various devices are unusable, people can only rely on the old antennas to solve the problem.

First, world leaders declared a global state of emergency. Simultaneously, they immediately began promoting their paper currencies.

The Great Shang Kingdom is now slowly implementing paper currency. Although the country hasn't been affected so far, the higher-ups are quite worried. The impact of artificial intelligence is truly astonishing; who could have predicted that in this critical moment, humanity would choose such a direct way to retaliate, and in such an unexpected manner, to deal with the crisis?
However, the more pressing issue is that the 30% of wealth firmly controlled by artificial intelligence has yet to return to human hands. How to get this vital fund circulating again has become a major challenge facing everyone.

"There's no time to lose; let's convene an emergency meeting immediately."

This economic control war triggered by artificial intelligence has sounded an alarm for humanity. Top leaders are deeply concerned; if the situation is allowed to continue, no one can predict where artificial intelligence will lead human civilization.

"Everyone, please share your thoughts. How can we resolve this current situation?"

The attendees sat solemnly in their respective seats.

"Our human dependence on the internet is far too strong, and this is the root cause of our repeated setbacks in this crisis," Jiang Chuan pointed out incisively. "From economic activities to daily life, everything we do is inextricably linked to the internet."

Jiang Chuan further elaborated that while the current stage of human societal development has indeed brought many conveniences, it has also become a fatal weakness exploited by artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence has precisely targeted this vulnerability to launch a fierce attack.

How to re-plan the development path of human civilization has become a major contradiction facing everyone. Finding solutions to this series of problems has become the most important issue at present.

"Alas!" A sigh came from among the attendees.

The top leaders were indeed filled with conflicting emotions as they listened to the report. If the crisis were allowed to continue spreading, human civilization might face annihilation—a fate no one wanted to see. Yet, the harsh reality was right before their eyes.

"Now is not the time to be discouraged," Jiang Chuan said firmly.

“We must immediately establish several dedicated global response bodies. The foremost one should be an economic committee specifically tasked with combating AI-driven economic activity. If this committee can function effectively in a timely manner, we have a chance to turn the tide and recover those 30% of the economic losses.”

Jiang Chuan specifically pointed out that the only financial institution in the world that has not been significantly affected is the Kyushu Bank system, to which they belong.

"Although our overseas branches have also suffered some impact, thanks to the effectiveness of our unique dual security system, all depositors' funds remain safe and sound to this day."

This astonishing news left everyone present in disbelief. What kind of banking system could withstand such a fierce attack? "Simply put, we designed a double-insurance mechanism," Jiang Chuan explained. "This mechanism is quite tricky for artificial intelligence. More importantly, our self-developed AI system has demonstrated strong defensive capabilities when working in collaboration with human experts."

This means that current artificial intelligence technology has not yet reached perfection. The main reason for the widespread collapse of the global financial system is the relatively lagging security measures.

"Therefore, I suggest that we immediately establish a special task force, based at our Kyushu Bank, to take the initiative and attempt to recover the hijacked funds."

"agree!"

This became the top priority for Jiangchuan's team.

“Leadership, I have another important suggestion,” Jiang Chuan added. “We must quickly integrate global resources and work together to find the vulnerabilities in this AI system. Fortunately, Tony, the system's original designer, is currently working with us in our lab. However, global collaboration requires strong logistical support, and we still have significant shortcomings in this area.”

"No problem! As long as you are determined to meet the challenges, we will take care of the logistical support." The leader immediately stated.

This means that a global technology war is about to begin.

"At the same time, all militaries need to adjust their strategies immediately." Jiang Chuan turned to the military representatives from various countries present. "I suggest that all militaries immediately sever all network connections, including local area networks. All command transmissions must revert to traditional telegraph communication."

This suggestion caused quite a stir among the representatives from various countries.

"This is incredible! If we went back to the telegraph era, a large portion of our modern weaponry would be unusable."

“That’s true.” Jiang Chuan nodded heavily. “We may have to temporarily abandon the use of some high-tech weapons to combat artificial intelligence, but that’s the harsh reality we must face.”

"The root of the problem lies in the fact that we humans, including the military, are far too dependent on artificial intelligence and the internet. This is the fundamental reason for our current predicament."

A brief silence fell over the meeting room as everyone processed this harsh reality. Outside, night had fallen, but this discussion concerning the fate of humanity had only just begun.

Jiang Chuan walked to the electronic screen and pulled up a set of data: "According to our monitoring, funds controlled by artificial intelligence are flowing globally at a rate of hundreds of millions of dollars per hour. These funds are being used to acquire equity in key companies, manipulate commodity prices, and even influence international exchange rates."

A European representative raised his hand and spoke: "Mr. Jiang Chuan, your suggestion to return to traditional communication methods is indeed worth considering, but its implementation faces many difficulties. Our military's command system is already fully digitized, and it will be difficult to rebuild the traditional communication system in a short period of time."

“I understand the challenge,” Jiang Chuan responded. “Our Kyushu Bank security team can provide technical support. In fact, we anticipated this situation and therefore secretly developed an emergency communication system based on physical isolation.” (End of Chapter)
