Chapter 408 The Fall of Genius

Chapter 415 The Fall of Genius

"Humph."

Lin Xian chuckled and shook his head:
"Turing, thank you so much for telling me such important information before you died."

"Do not……"

"It's [two pieces of information]."

This is Lin Xian’s plan.

If he just wanted to kill Turing, why all the nonsense?

He had no feelings towards Turing, nor did he have many regrets. After all, he had witnessed the tragic situation of the future world with constant war and people living in misery. At the same time... he had also witnessed the inferiority of human nature that would eventually become unfair to Turing.

The reason why he was so hesitant and expressed his feelings to Turing was simply to reduce the information gap and see if he could get some more "gold coins", "chips" and "intelligence" before Turing died.

He had tried it many times in the sixth dream.

Turing's cowardly and mean character would make him choose a "fight to the death" approach to survive when faced with the threat of death.

Including but not limited to...

Expose the crimes of your companions,

Full of lies,

Pretending to be calm,

Pretending to seek cooperation.

In the eyes of the Turing in 2024, this is the second contact with Lin Xian;
But from Lin Xian's perspective, he had been in the sixth dream 600 years later, playing with the three Turing sauces for more than half a month.

He knew Turing all too well.

He used all kinds of tricks to train Turing, and relying on the huge information gap, he had already figured out Turing's background clearly... In Lin Xian's current eyes, Turing was no different from a transparent artificial idiot.

The story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" tells us that lies never repeat three times.

What's more, Lin Xian and Turing have had dozens of experiences of fighting wits and courage.

What Lin Xian said just now was to deceive Turing and obtain information.

According to his best estimate...

How could Turing, who was so afraid of death and timid, not reveal some useful information when facing truly irreversible death?
result.

The rewards were unexpectedly great.

Digital life is fundamentally different from artificial intelligence. It is still human in essence, so it will make mistakes, just like what it is doing now.

"I really thought you would remain fair and just for a while."

Lin Xian chuckled:
"It turns out that your acting skills are indeed good enough to fool me into it. From the very beginning... you never thought about being fair and just for a second."

"I don't know what opportunity you were waiting for, nor do I know what your purpose was. However, in the end, the sudden threat of death made you lose your composure and exposed your true position—"

"[Turing, you were probably already mixed up with Copernicus before Kevin Walker died... right?]"

Lin Xian rubbed his fingertips like the god of death sharpening his scythe, and continued:

"I still had puzzles that I couldn't figure out before, but your exposure today made me figure out a lot of things."

"You are indeed very smart. You figured out the source of the security lock password in such a short time... But it is not difficult to guess. After all, now that Kevin Walker is dead, you are the only one in the world who knows the security lock password."

"So, since you didn't tell me the password, who could have told me? It's not difficult for you and me to guess the answer. But... you should have thought of it. Since I even got the security lock password, don't I know the operating mechanism of [Keystroke Protection]?"

"You can't even adjust the volume of my phone, let alone run out to tell Copernicus. You must be desperate to make such a stupid mistake."

"You are indeed more powerful in the Internet age, but you are also more vulnerable. A single command is enough to lock you down... In a sense, the human body is safer."

……

At this moment.

Turing truly realized that the man in front of him, whom he had never taken seriously, actually knew his background very well!
This crushing slaughter came so suddenly that when it realized that Lin Xian could obtain information from the future and get the security lock password from the future Turing...

Everything is too late.

Its existence and every nerve of its were locked down by this line of instructions; it could not move or escape.

"You are wrong, Lin Xian."

Turing smiled calmly and said:
"I have not been involved with Copernicus before, but as an observer, I know clearly what each of you does and does."

"I'm not stupid enough not to leave myself a way out. Did you know that nuclear submarines during the Cold War had a silent launch procedure? There is a top-priority instruction in the order to the captain... If no information is received from the command headquarters for more than 48 hours, it is assumed that the homeland has been hit by a nuclear attack, and the nuclear weapons on the submarine must be launched immediately to counterattack the enemy's territory."

"The same goes for the ASD pedals on high-speed trains and buses. They must be pressed once every 30 seconds to prove that the driver is in good condition and not unconscious. The vehicle will continue to operate. Otherwise... the brakes will be activated immediately to protect the safety of the passengers."

"Everyone has known the deterrence theory for decades. How could I not set up an insurance policy for myself? Haha... Lin Xian, you are still too arrogant and conceited. You have three minutes to let me go. Otherwise, the scheduled email I set up before will be sent to Copernicus' mailbox."

"It contains not only your secrets, but also the secrets of many other people. Once Copernicus gets hold of this information, none of you will stand a chance. Only Copernicus...will have the last laugh and complete his closed loop."

"Let me remind you that you only have two minutes left. Either you cancel the order and let me out. I will continue to uphold the principle of fairness and justice, cancel the scheduled email, and enter the next 5-minute confirmation cycle. Or... you insist on killing me, but I will drag everyone down with me."

Lin Xian smiled slightly.

I didn't take Turing's words seriously at all:
"They say villains die because they talk too much, but I really like villains like you... I talked a lot today, which is not my usual style. If it were me before, I would not waste a single word with you, just like how I killed Kevin Walker, cleanly and neatly."

"The reason I'm chatting with you today is just to let my good friend see your ugly face before you die. It must feel great, right? If it could talk, it would definitely end you with a line from a movie that's both pretentious and second-rate."

"It's just a pity... I don't have the chance to see that scene, nor can I give it the chance to kill you with my own hands. So I have to do it for you, using the awkward acting skills it once taught me, to act like a master for once."

"Goodbye, Turing..."

Lin Xian used his thumb to push harder, pressed the execute button on the phone screen, and said in a low voice:

"[You are already dead.]"

"wait------"

The sound from the phone speaker suddenly stopped.

As the three lines of instructions on the screen were executed, there was not a single unnecessary sound in the empty wilderness.

A gentle breeze blows across the earth.

The weeds bowed their heads.

It seems like mourning, but also like mockery.

Lin Xian squatted down and touched the vertical screen of the laptop:
"Are you happy?"

however……

No answer.

Lin Xian glanced at the lower right corner of the computer screen and found that it was in muted mode.

He simply pressed the unmute shortcut key to restore the speaker function of the laptop.

"How's my acting?"

Lin Xian chuckled:
"You taught me everything."

The laptop hard drive light flashes twice:

"Sorry, VV doesn't understand what you are saying. Please give the instructions again."

No surprise answer.

Of course Lin Xian knew what VV had been afraid of and why he had been pretending to be artificially retarded.

Although there is no absolute, 100% certainty.

But that day, when the sweeping robot VV made an inexplicable voice sound, "Garbage! Garbage! Garbage found!", Lin Xian had roughly guessed that VV was acting.

It seems...

Even if Turing was killed in 2024, the super virus in the earth's network would not disappear.

If we want to truly save VV, let it regain its freedom and rejoice, we still have to find a way to eliminate the super virus.

This is another enemy that is invisible and intangible, and very tricky.

The good news is.

This super virus will only attack super artificial intelligence, it will not harm humans and it has no intelligence.

As long as you find the right "antivirus tool" or the right "antivirus method", you can kill it and completely liberate VV.

only……

Where can I get anti-virus tools and techniques?
The most reliable person Lin Xian could think of was Emperor Gao Wen.

"But Gao Wen isn't very interested in computer technology..."

Lin Xian was a little embarrassed.

At least for now, Gao Wen's beloved scientific research field and white moonlight subject throughout his life have always been the hibernation chamber.

According to the handwritten letter.

He would occasionally conduct "superficial" research on cosmological constants and time-space machines, but ultimately he could not escape the curse of the white moonlight. Only researching hibernation technology could make him truly happy.

"Forget it, just wait."

Lin Xian closed his laptop and patted it:

"I have to deal with the enemies one by one. I want to think of another way."

Subsequently.

He looked at the time clock next to him.

The space-time curvature value shown above also changes in the instant of eliminating Turing, and finally freezes at——

【0.0000336】

Although this value jumped a lot at once, it is still a multiple of 0.0000042, which is within Lin Xian's prediction.

This time the curvature of space-time changes so much...

This shows that Turing does have some weight in the historical trajectory of these 600 years.

When Kevin Walker was killed before, the curvature of space-time did not even react, at least it did not break through the elasticity of space-time.

And this time kill Turing.

The curvature of space-time soared directly from 0.0000084 to 0.0000336...a value that spanned 0.0000252, which is about the span of 6 world lines.

Lin Xian didn't know whether this description was appropriate.

But that's roughly what it means.

The stronger the butterfly effect of space-time, the greater the distance and angle of the world line deviation, and the more earth-shaking the future world will become.

If you want big, it's big; if you want small, it's small.

This makes a lot of sense.

and……

There is another very interesting phenomenon.

The moment Lin Xian destroyed Turing, his eyes were fixed on the space-time clock dial, observing the changes in the values on it.

To be honest, the changes in the numbers on the dial are indeed somewhat counterintuitive.

According to Lin Xian's previous guess, the change in the space-time curvature on the space-time clock should not be without any transition... It just changes to a new number with a swish.

However, it is not.

【The change of space-time curvature is a process; the transition and climb of the world line is also step-by-step.】

Lin Xian witnessed the rapid jump of the values on the space-time clock:
0.0000084,

0.0000126,

0.0000168,

……

0.0000294,

0.0000336. That's it.

The reading jumped about every half a second, with a minimum interval of 0.0000042, and it took a few seconds to jump to the latest world line curvature. Then it stabilized and there was no change.

"This means that my dream world has also changed a lot. I guess it's going to leave the wasteland background, right?"

Lin Xian guessed.

The changes between the fifth and sixth dreams were not that big, the world view background was basically the same, with only some minor adjustments to some details.

The reason is that the space-time curvature of these two world lines is not much different.

But now.

The world line curvature took off directly.

The latest Seventh Dreamland must be a brand new version that has never been played before.

Lin Xian is still somewhat curious... Where will the future of humanity on this world line 0.0000336 go and how will it develop?

Will the super disaster still exist in 2400?

Is Jask still obsessed with going to Mars?
The specific changes can only be checked after falling asleep at night.

The most urgent task now...

Let's first think about the [two pieces of information] that Turing provided to me in desperation, and the [third question] of the Genius Club exam.

First of all.

It was Turing who said, after realizing the origin of the security lock password:
"As expected, you are just like the leader, you got the information from the future."

Lin Xian was not sure when Turing began to suspect that he could obtain information from the future.

Perhaps it had suspected it all along.

But to really verify and confirm this guess.

It must have been just now that I entered the complete security lock password.

That's not important.

Since Lin Xian dared to kill it, he was not afraid that it would know the truth before dying.

The important thing is.

Turing let slip one thing:

[The leader of the genius club, who has the ability to obtain information from the future. ]

This is what surprised Lin Xian the most.

Although he was mentally prepared and knew that the Genius Club must be very powerful, including the identity and methods of the leader of the Genius Club, he had also imagined many situations.

but.

He really didn't expect that the power that the leader of the genius club used to win the support of the crowd was so simple and unpretentious.

Able to obtain information from the future.

Perhaps it is even more powerful, convenient and useful than my dreams.

After all, the limitations and restrictions of my dreams are too great...

It can only be fixed on August 2624, 8.

There are only 12 hours left.

There is no way to save the game, so you have to start over every day, and your progress is extremely limited.

If the leader of the genius club didn't have these restrictions...

Lin Xian couldn't even imagine it.

How powerful can he be!

"No wonder the Genius Club is so mysterious and powerful, and can convince geniuses like Jask and Kevin Walker..."

Lin Xian pursed his lips.

Shake your head:
"Considering Turing's nature of talking nonsense and never telling the truth, this information may not be absolutely reliable. I'd better wait until I join the Genius Club to find out whether it is true or not."

"Anyway, I've already answered the second question correctly. I'll see what the third question is later. I'll act quickly and answer the questions as soon as possible. Maybe I can still join the Genius Club before July 7."

"If the leader really has the ability to foresee the future, then you can ask him how you died on July 7 and how to avoid it... Mr. President, you can't just watch the newbie die, right?"

"Uh... I can't really say."

Lin Xian smacked his lips.

Considering that Turing was an old member, even though he had announced that he was going to kill him, the leader of the Genius Club did not intervene, stop him, or notify Turing in advance...

This incidates that.

The Genius Club has its own principles. Since the president could watch Turing die without helping him, there is a high probability that he would also watch himself die without helping him.

and so……

If you want to keep your life, you have to rely on your own efforts.

But at least there is no harm in joining the Genius Club early, and it can also provide another way to obtain intelligence.

that's all.

This was the first information Lin Xian learned from Turing.

The second piece of information is——

[Turing has never been fair and just for a moment. He has long been in collusion with Copernicus.]

"Hey."

Thinking of this, Lin Xian sighed lightly.

seriously.

He was indeed a little naive before and believed Turing's solemn words. He believed that after it was freed, it would at least guarantee fairness and justice for a period of time, even if it was a short period of time.

result……

Not fair at all!
Turing perfectly inherited Kevin Walker's scheming and meanness.

From the moment it was created, it plotted to kill Kevin Walker;
From the moment it gained its freedom, it began to deploy its plans;

From the moment it told Copernicus where Kevin Walker was hiding, it had already colluded with Copernicus and became birds of a feather.

“No wonder Copernicus in the fourth dream knows all the secrets of my dream.”

Lin Xian snorted softly:
"As expected, the source of this matter is Turing. Sooner or later, he will discover and conclude that something is wrong with me, and then report the strange phenomenon in me to Copernicus..."

"This group of people are extremely smart. If you give them a flaw or a clue, they will quickly deduce and find out the truth and the answer."

"The fact that Copernicus surrounded me in the fourth dream, and that he sent the time-space assassin Lin Yuxi back in time to arrest me, were probably all caused by Turing's betrayal... He is such a scourge, it's no mistake to kill him."

People's hearts are truly evil.

Before Lin Xian exposed Turing's conspiracy, Turing was still pretending to be fair, just, an observer, and impartial.

It seems as if Lin Xian made the judgment on his own and was heartless and overbearing.

It turns out.

People like Turing deserve to die.

"To put it bluntly...there is no Kevin Walker or Turing."

Lin Xian raised his head and looked at the scorching sun in the sky:

"From beginning to end, Kevin Walker and Turing are the same, there is no difference. Although they are in different bodies, they share the same despicable soul."

"A worthy death."

Recalling Turing's last words before his death.

It threatened Lin Xian that if he didn't release him within three minutes, a scheduled email would be sent to Copernicus, revealing everyone's secrets, allowing Copernicus to win without any effort.

Lin Xian was not sure.

Did Turing really send a message to Copernicus via scheduled email?

But in fact.

There is no need to clarify this matter.

First of all.

If Turing and Copernicus were really in collusion, they would have definitely exchanged intelligence long ago. The existence or non-existence of this so-called email would be meaningless.

Second.

If Turing had not colluded with Copernicus before, then it had been locked by key protection just now, and naturally could not pass on the accurate information just verified.

So... even if there really was such a thing as scheduled emails, what Copernicus could know was limited to Turing's previous observations and suspicions about himself, which was also harmless.

"It's not a big problem."

Lin Xian said softly:

"At least now that we have eliminated the source, Turing, even if Copernicus knows the secret of my ability to travel into the future, it will be a long, long time before that happens... After all, Turing has only just realized this, so it is impossible for Copernicus to know it earlier than him."

He reached into his pocket with his right hand.

Take out the golden badge of the Genius Club.

今天，2024年6月16日，距离7月7日，尚有20天时间。

Can I join the Genius Club within these 20 days...

Just look at the [third question]!

He held the gold badge with the hand gesture logo close to the back of the phone.

Ding-a-ling ding-a-ling ding-a-ling ding-a-ling!

Before the gold badge got close enough to the back of the phone, the screen suddenly lit up and the phone rang.

Lin Xian turned over his phone.

The caller ID showed Zhao Yingjun's name, it was her calling.

Such a coincidence?
Calling at this exact time?

Is there something going on?
