My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1461

[1452. Chapter 1429: Automated City, Bound Artificial Intelligence!]

Although the free teleportation in the game uses divine power, is silent and fast, Su Mo still prefers the latter over the delivery on the B6 floor.

This is a technology that humans cannot currently understand.

But as long as the principle can be analyzed in the future and nuclear fusion can be used to obtain almost inexhaustible energy, the way humans travel will be completely changed.

By then, it won’t take too long to reach any place in the wasteland.

It is much more promising than this unreplicable, simple and crude method of deploying divine power.

Not long.

The meteor’s tail slowly disappeared, and the invisible protective shield fell straight down and stopped in a mountain stream.

To be on the safe side, this place is still two hundred kilometers away from the outermost part of Hu Lai City.

Even if Hu Laicheng opened up detection equipment to the outside world, it would not be able to detect changes at such a long distance.

A frigate glided silently over to the tributary of the Julongxian River in the mountain stream.

Su Mo paused, then rushed forward from the steep rock and landed accurately on the deck of the frigate.

The distance is at least fifteen meters.

The height is nearly six meters.

However, for him who had already used the route upgrade coupons compensated by the game to upgrade the route level to level 21, it was easy.

Boom.

There was a muffled sound on the deck, and two footprints appeared faintly on the surface of the steel plate.

Several sailors who were planning to build a bridge were stunned, swallowed involuntarily, and stood in awe.

“Thank you for your hard work staying here recently.”

Su Mo glanced at the sailors who were looking at him, and his gaze finally fell on Ming Wujing.

The two nodded in tacit understanding and walked into the captain’s room separated from the cabin.

“Have you explored Hulai City?”

“It’s almost done. The situation here is much simpler than we expected.” Ming Wujing responded quickly and took out piles of information that he had prepared long ago.

The three major forces on Blue Star each have their own characteristics.

The college is well-known for its research and development, and is able to continuously make innovative breakthroughs in various technologies, always occupying the technological high ground and collecting a steady stream of patent fees and royalties.

The Foundation, relying on its large number of people, is able to expand its trading scope to an entire planet, and has a powerful armed guard to protect the transactions and reap huge profits.

As for enterprises, their greatest advantage has nothing to do with the first two.

Fully automated.

This is the key advantage that enterprises can develop from the bottom up!

Whether it is a factory, process turnover, or terminal construction, companies have been pursuing automation from the very beginning.

This also means that once automation reaches a certain scale, no matter what risky moves are made, there will be a stable bottom line in the end.

“Compared to other cities in the company, Hulai City is the first city to be built completely automatically. This means that the city lord Leo Kulikov does not have the control and decision-making power over the city, and only has a small part of the right to participate in the discussion.”

“Could it be that the controlling power of Hu Lai City is in the hands of artificial intelligence?” Su Mo frowned slightly when he heard this.

The reason why Blue Planet declined is that it went astray in the development of artificial intelligence.

This led to endless quarrels between the artificial intelligence faction and the anti-intelligence faction, sparking the Star Wars.

Who would have thought that after so many years, the company still hadn’t given up and was still researching artificial intelligence?
“Yes, the power is in the hands of the artificial intelligence ‘Singularity’. Right now, whether it’s the policy towards the survivors in the surrounding area or the various strange external supplies, they are all orders from Singularity.”

“Singularity.”

Su Mo narrowed his eyes. The name sounded quite intimidating, but he didn’t know which of the two artificial intelligences was more powerful compared to Zero.

“Have you figured out the purpose of his doing this?”

“We have discovered some information, but we cannot confirm its authenticity yet.” Ming Wujing paused and continued, “We have communicated with the only four survivors who have entered Hulai City. We have learned the same information from them: Singularity is looking for a source of energy supply!”

“As long as you can provide enough energy supply sources, or information, Singularity will issue a large number of rewards, including those S-level technologies that are not traded to ordinary people.”

“If the energy provided is of high value, then it is possible to be absorbed by the singularity and become a new citizen, new manager, or even a new city lord of Hulai City!”

In fact, a fully automated city does not need a human lord at all.

This is also the prerequisite for artificial intelligence to operate efficiently.

Once humans are involved in the decision-making process, there will inevitably be many differences that are difficult to resolve in a short period of time.

As long as the differences are not resolved, progress will not be made.

But in the final analysis, the company’s automation technology is not mature and the level of artificial intelligence is only half-baked.

Therefore, after Hu Lai City was built and operated for a period of time, they had no choice but to assign a city lord to it.

In name, the city lord Leah Kulikov controls the operation of Hulai City, but in reality his role is more like a secretary of a listed company.

When the artificial intelligence “Singularity” needs a secretary to deliver execution orders, Leo Kulikov has something to do and he must do it well, otherwise he will be fired by Singularity and replaced by someone else.

But if “Singularity” wanted to bypass the city lord to implement some orders and policy changes, Leo Kulikov would not even have the right to object.

Apart from the additional right to report to the corporate headquarters, there is no difference between them and other city managers at other times.

And right now, this is exactly the dilemma Hu Laicheng is facing.

Ever since losing connection with the enterprise terminal, Singularity has entered a state of alert, gathering all its power and being ready to execute the many self-rescue strategies that had long been preset at the bottom of the system.

After the city lord Leo Kulikov’s most important right to report on the company was taken away, his methods were no different from those of the survivors outside.

Although he wanted to get closer to the players on Earth and wanted to learn more from humans.

But because of the ‘singularity’ here, Hu Laicheng had no say at all, and naturally he couldn’t carry out various behaviors to be friendly with the survivors.

Until after the metal aging disaster, until the energy alarm in Hu Lai City.

Only after “Singularity” activated the most basic emergency plan did Leah Kulikov get involved.

“70% of the public announcements in Hulai City are from Singularity, including technical support for survivors in the surrounding area, resource search missions for outsiders, etc. These are all emergency plans written by the company at the bottom of Singularity, and are being implemented step by step according to the changes in the situation.”

“The other 30% was Leah Kulikov’s idea, including setting up a zone every five kilometers, selecting outstanding survivors to become new citizens, sending out adventure teams to explore, and a series of other actions involving contact with the wasteland. All of these were ordered by him.”

I see.
After listening to Ming Wujing’s explanation, I understood the changes in the company in recent times.

Su Mo finally understood why the companies did not take any action at the beginning but then made a collective effort.

Especially the current environmental changes should obviously be beyond the cognitive scope of artificial intelligence singularity.

Su Mo even secretly wondered if the metal aging disaster would destroy the Singularity database as well.
Without the ability to learn online, there wouldn’t be enough data samples.

AI?

Artificial intelligence is right!

Even Zero, which can be considered as a primary artificial intelligence, is currently far from being able to work independently and handle everything to people’s satisfaction.

What is the possibility that the ‘singularity’ created by the enterprise can surpass and reach intermediate or even advanced artificial intelligence?
“So, if we want to communicate and cooperate with Hu Laicheng at present, the best entry point is the artificial intelligence singularity?”

“That’s right. If you complete the mission, you can become the city lord. This is the promise made by Singularity himself to the players.”

“What qualifications are needed to enter the city?” Su Mo thought about it and felt that the energy stone could not fully meet the energy needs of the singularity at present.

According to the current power generation, the amount of energy stones laid in Tianyuan Territory is enough to accumulate a fuel rod of 500,000 degrees.

This collection speed is nothing but a drop in the bucket for the huge Hu Lai City.

To meet the energy needs of the singularity, perhaps one or two nuclear fusion towers would be enough.

“Hey, that’s not right. Doesn’t Hulai City have the ability to build nuclear fusion facilities independently?”

Su Mo suddenly realized an important issue.

Nuclear fusion facilities are nothing new on Blue Star. For example, the Sunny Harbor Shelter has a tall tower.

At the moment, even if the energy facilities in Hu Lai City were destroyed by natural disasters.

Given the company’s technical reserves, they definitely won’t ask outsiders for help, right?
“That’s the problem. The construction and maintenance of nuclear fusion facilities require the authorization of the academy, and Singularity is a product created by the company and the academy. It has a technical lock left by the academy. Without verification and authorization, there is absolutely no way to open it.”

Ming Wujing smiled bitterly. God knows how many times he was shocked when he received this news.

The “rule-abidingness” of artificial intelligence is truly eye-opening.

Even though we were in the wasteland and even though we could no longer contact the headquarters, we still didn’t think of crossing this limit.

However, it can also be seen from the side that after experiencing a crisis caused by artificial intelligence, the people of Blue Star are cautious about stepping into this field again.

Bound by a series of shackles, Hu Laicheng has even escaped the supervision of the company.

A year has passed and there is still no sign of anything getting out of control.

“So, they want to find a new technology that can replace nuclear fusion?”

Su Mo understood a little.

In this case, Energy Stone Technology might be able to get a good evaluation in “Singularity”.

Maybe it could only be rated B before, but now it is not surprising to be rated A or even A+.

“Is there any way to get into the city and communicate with Singularity?”

“Yes, there are three ways!”

When Ming Wujing heard this, his expression became serious, as if he had already expected Su Mo to do this.

“The first way is to get Leah Kulikov’s approval. As long as he can recommend you, you can enter Hulai City unimpeded and communicate with Singularity face to face. But until today, there are only a few people who have seen Leah Kulikov, and no one has spoken to him.”

“The second way is to enter the S-level area at the front. As long as you can get recommendations from 95% of the population in the area, you will have the opportunity to enter the city and communicate with Singularity.”

“The third way is the simplest. As long as you have a B-level or higher status in the company’s operating system, you can live in Hulai City for one month every natural year. During this time, you can also apply to communicate remotely with Singularity.”

Recommended by the city lord, recommended by survivors, and identity level.

All three methods sound easy, but communicating with Singularity after entering the city with only an energy stone technology that may reach A-level evaluation is certainly far from mutual cooperation.

Besides, Su Mo never thought about cooperating with Hu Laicheng from the beginning to the end.

As long as Adam doesn’t pull indigenous people from the Blue Star World, Hu Lai City will be an isolated city.

As long as we can take over this city, the massive amount of technology in the database will be available for free.

This kind of income is really tempting.

Coupled with the limitations of the academy alone, Singularity was forced to cut off one of its own arms and seek external help.

If they really want to cooperate, he may need the authorization of the college to obtain certain technologies.

Too many restrictions, too much trouble.

“We don’t have enough time to take the main route. It seems we can only start from the side door.”

“Fortunately, the real lord of Hulai City is an artificial intelligence, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble.”

Su Mo had an idea in his mind.

Let’s make a crazy assumption. What if Zero can replace Singularity and become the new lord of Hulai City?
In the short term, it would be difficult for Zero to do so with his current ability.

But if you use survival points to upgrade Zero for a few rounds, the probability of conquering the singularity will only increase.

“I understand. Let Su Chan, Feng Long and the others return to the territory. The enterprise will be sealed for the time being.”

“Ah? Aren’t we going to continue exploring?”

Ming Wujing was stunned and thought he had misheard at first.

After preparing for so long, they all thought that Su Mo came here to enter the city to negotiate with Singularity.

I didn’t expect that he would give up so quickly and decisively?

“There is no need for that. Artificial intelligence that is bound by rules is like a lamb to be slaughtered. What we should do is not wait for it to jump out of the sheepfold, but go home and sharpen the knife to prepare to slaughter the sheep.”

“Until the first gambling fight is over, let’s leave this place alone for now. When the winner is decided between us and the aliens and the disaster is settled, the technological reserves here will be the capital for our human race to take off!”

Su Mo said this calmly, feeling relieved.

Rather than Hu Laicheng making trouble, he was actually more worried about Hu Laicheng reaching some cooperation with other races.

In the end, humans not only have to deal with aliens, but also with corporations.

Now, the mayor of Hu Lai City is an artificial intelligence, bound by many rules and regulations.

Not to mention uniting with alien races, even uniting with humans has taken such a long time to plan.

Now, we can completely free up our hands to attack the aliens!
