Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

As the intelligence officer of the three, Asuka keenly noticed the deployment of the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet from public reports of the Russian military's "Vostok" exercises.

For example, some ships from the 100th Amphibious Brigade and the 36th Surface Combat Division participated in the exercise. One can easily guess the content of the exercise. It must be a combat drill related to cross-sea landing.

This is a very obvious signal. The target is most likely Japan, but it is hard to say in which region the imaginary enemy and landing site are set.

She tried to check the diplomatic trends between the Japanese government and the United States in the past two months, and found that apart from the daily verbal battles between Japan and South Korea, there were no signs of illness.

There has been no attack for two months, which shows that the current Japanese government is still quite stable.

Maybe the disease is about to break out, after all, the Russians have done a big thing to the Japanese in the waters near Sakhalin Island.

Fei Niao blocked out the junk information synthesized by low-level AI, and searched for what she needed in the network full of replies. She then verified with each other, observed the ship dispatches of the CIA and the Seventh Fleet in Japan, and confirmed her guess bit by bit.

It was so torturous that Fei Niao was eager to get support from DARPA's computer resources.

Obviously, this request would not be approved. Most of DARPA's computing resources are fully loaded, and there are hundreds of people waiting in line for appointments.

After their plan to use the supercomputer failed, Asuka discovered that the only intelligence support they could get was daily reports from the CIA and the peripheral network she hacked into the Japanese Public Security Ministry.

In this case, she couldn't even grasp the basic situation and felt uneasy, so she started to take more radical actions.

"I'm back……"

Around 7 o'clock in the evening, when Raphael was packing his shoes in the porch, he saw Asuka pointing a knife at his neck.

This action frightened her so much that she immediately activated the control protocol for the puppet figure, and "Flying Bird" instantly lost control of its body.

Raphael asked the puppet to put down the knife and sit on the sofa opposite, and then he lifted the control protocol.

"Asuka, what on earth do you want to do?!" she roared.

"Ahhh, Raphael, you misunderstood!"

Fei Niao danced with her hands and feet, trying to make Raphael understand what she wanted to do. Her idea was simple: since AI, which was once in the iterative learning stage, could obtain information and learn from the Internet, then in theory, she, who was also artificial intelligence, could do the same.

"That won't work," Raphael was surprised. "DARPA can't restrict our core at the bottom level, but they have set physical access restrictions on our bodies."

"Tsk, that's disgusting."

"Yes, that old man Harry is disgusting." Raphael agreed with Fei Niao without any psychological pressure.

"So Raphael, do you have any constructive suggestions on intelligence acquisition?"

Raphael stroked Fei Niao's head randomly. Her action was more like soothing a raging dog than showing love for her sister.

"No, I only know how to fight and kill now. Well, catching two tongues is not a problem, but I need to provide a soundproof interrogation place."

Raphael was ready to go, as she had never had the chance to practice the interrogation techniques she had learned from the CIA.

Hearing these expected words, Asuka felt her tense face gradually relax. The muscles in her hunched shoulders also relaxed, and her restless heart gradually calmed down.

"Forget it then."

"Really? That's a pity."

"Let's not have an interrogation."

Asuka thought about it and her face suddenly turned red.

"Hey, what's going on in your mind?"

As if to get to the bottom of something, Raphael tapped Fei Niao's collarbone gently. The gentle rhythm of the tapping seemed to pull something out of Fei Niao's body.

"Well, I didn't think of anything."

Cunning, following suit - Raphael watched Asuka open his eyes wide, staring at the face that looked exactly like his own as if exploring.

"Okay, I'll just assume you're not a pervert like Suzune."

Raphael pulled the cushion over and sat down in front of the small tea table in the living room, folding her legs naturally. She opened her laptop and said, "Come on, I'll collect the information. Asuka, you do the data analysis."

"How about your schoolwork?"

"I'll deal with those lessons later in the night. After all, humanoids don't really need to sleep."

Except for the problem of application, she was not inferior to anyone in terms of pure written knowledge. She had opened up a space in her mental storage space to store the knowledge she considered useful.

This is just simple storage. If you want to understand and apply it, you need extra energy to learn and understand it.

Thinking of this, Raphael felt very unhappy. Why can the artificial intelligence in science fiction works be born with knowledge, while she has to learn and understand like an ordinary person?

Is she really artificial intelligence? From this point of view alone, her "mind" is more like a human being.

Raphael had no answer.

"By the way, Raphael, did you bring your flute to school?" Asuka asked.

"Yes, according to the request of the homeroom teacher who is also the advisor."

"Can you blow it?"

"Sure, but my tolerance is still far behind that of ordinary people." While Raphael was typing on the keyboard to record information with both hands, he imitated the breathing according to the techniques taught by his instructor.

However, the airflow did not improve much.

After all, the space inside the body is limited, and the task of her respiratory system is to provide heat dissipation assistance for the core and electronic countermeasure units, rather than actual breathing.

Theoretically speaking, when in maximum heat dissipation state, its airflow is actually not low.

"The limitations of androids...well." Asuka sighed.

"That's why I'm a member of the Ghost Club. There's nothing to worry about me."

Raphael was more open-minded. She summarized the information about the land warfare part of Russia's "East" military exercise and sent it to Asuka.

"But human music is really beautiful and magical," she praised.

"is it?"

"um, yes."

Raphael nodded, and then said with a hint of regret: "As a bionic humanoid, I am still a little unwilling that I can't participate."

“Maybe in the future.”

"makes sense."

With one eye closed, Asuka only looked around with his left eye.

“As long as technology continues to develop, sooner or later we will have a real future,” she said.

Chapter 118 Unstable Factors

"Well done, your subordinates are really well-trained."

"It's clear she has a bright future ahead of her." Harry made a detour and returned to the French window under the secretary's gaze. "Have you seen that face?"

"No. My men are verifying his identity, but he may just be a young man with a serious misanthropy."

The man on the other end of the phone had a big belly and held the receiver with his shoulder, while his hands kept picking out the pills he needed to take in the morning from the aluminum sheet.

Antihypertensive drugs, diabetes-control drugs, and several liver and kidney protection pills.

He hated this kind of life, but as people get older, if they don't follow the doctor's advice, they will end up like the last old man who got to sit in this office with a great view.

The previous director of the CIA died of acute cerebral thrombosis. Not only did he disobey the doctor's advice, he also failed to control his emotions and died of anger.

Throw all the pills into your mouth and swallow them all at once with water.

He values ​​his life very much.

"So, what do you think, Harry?" he inquired.

"Well, that depends on how the Russians react. They have been making quite a stir in the Far East recently. Maybe they want to cover up something, or maybe they are planning to do something. If we refer to the wars in the five Eastern European countries and the Ukrainian war."

"That's unlikely."

Ryan James knew very well that this was impossible. Without the war in Ukraine ending, starting a second war would mean that they had decided to embrace destruction.

Prior to joining the CIA, he was a mid-level officer in the Marine Corps, where he was exposed to a variety of international politics and geopolitical doctrines, and also had indirect contact with the Russians during the Syrian conflict.

"The scale of the war among the five Eastern European countries is actually very small, so it is understandable that the Russians made rapid progress. But facing a country like Ukraine, the Russian army's progress is very slow."

He did not believe that the Russian economy could sustain a second war.

"I see." Harry laughed.

"However, the Russian army's performance in the war among the five Eastern European countries is indeed frightening..."

Ryan James thought, no one wants to face that torrent of steel.

Judging from the strength of the Soviet system at that time, if the tanks in the front were damaged, the tanks in the rear could be replaced immediately. With such a huge loss and gap in replenishment, European countries were simply unable to complete the renewal of their weapons, and the replacements might have been beaten to pieces.

Although what the Russians showed this time was not as shocking as the military exercises in the 80s, the Russian army did use it.

The damaged armored vehicles and tanks were left directly on the road, followed by heavy equipment from the rear.

Equipment that broke down simply due to track or engine failure was picked up and evacuated by subsequent support forces.

Once there is a major breakthrough in the offensive front, troops will immediately follow up.

Most importantly, the Russians did not run into trouble with supplies, logistics, etc. as they had guessed.

It seems that advancing triumphantly is the theme of the Russian army.

Ryan believes that today's US military generally underestimates the Russians' combat effectiveness.

They took it seriously at first, but the Russian army only recovered lost territory in Ukraine and made no further progress, so they began to underestimate it again.

Perhaps the massive military aid had an effect. But Ryan doubted whether the equipment pulled out of the warehouse was really effective.

The daily casualty records cannot be faked. The Ukrainian losses are five or even six times that of the Russian army...

Ryan suspected that it was not that the Russians could no longer lift their knives, but that they were using Ukrainians to sharpen their knives.

When the Ukrainian army's working-age population losses reach a certain proportion, the butcher knife that has been sharpened to a shine will soon be used to chop down the Ukrainian people.

"It seems that I should report to the president that the situation in Japan is showing signs of chaos."

Harry said: "There will be more problems in the future."

"Of course, Harry, the adjective "peaceful and prosperous" can only be used in a few places in the world," Ryan said, "but we are lucky to live in such a peaceful country."

"Let's keep our heads down to business, Mr. Ryan."

"That's right. What do you think of the girls in Japan?"

"Their actions are more stable than expected." Ryan looked at the internal investigation documents of the Japanese police, "But is their murderous intent a little too strong?"

"One armed guard died, which is understandable; OK, there was another death... but they were all cultists."

"We can ignore the guards' matter, it's not important. But the death of this extra person is a risk factor."

Ryan paused and continued, "In short, for the next period of time, we will basically not use her unless we are really short of manpower."

"That's fine," Harry agreed.

Regardless, whether working for the CIA or letting Raphael experience normal school life, a steady stream of data will be generated.

These data alone will take DARPA a long time to analyze. Since there are not many breakthroughs in reverse engineering, we can only think of ways to use AI.

He doesn't want to create another completely uncontrollable strong artificial intelligence like "Raphael".

Although there is a high probability of reproducing the incident using the relic core and deep learning, as Director Ryan said, there are a lot of dangerous factors involved.

If the second "person" created is a war fanatic or has some other destructive tendencies, then the world will definitely be full of fun.

Harry hung up the phone and thought about bringing in more industry experts in machine learning.

Using the data generated by Raphael's activities, they will see if they can rebuild a strong artificial intelligence based on her that they can control.

Instead of what we have now, relying on the black box technology of the relics to create uncontrollable things.

In fact, Harry has a very special feeling for Raphael, not just because she is artificial intelligence, but because her behaviors and thoughts are particularly like those of humans.

One could almost say that the "will" operating in that body is human.

As long as you look through the iteration records of the project code-named "Raphael", you can find that the "will" in that body is completely iterated from various valid data provided by humans.

Even developers can’t tell exactly when they have their “self”.

The original core of the ruins is stored in a top-secret warehouse underground at the DARPA headquarters. It is a complete item brought back from the robot of the ruins by the previous generation.

Together with the remains of the robot, its intact core became the core project of the reverse imitation project.
