Chapter 946: Chapter 45: Deception and Matryoshka_2

What would it think of itself?

Omnipotent?

Resurrecting the dead?

Or traveling through time?

Turing would surely struggle to come up with a reasonable answer, but the less it understood, the more it believed in its own power—this was a kind of transformation, too.

“Don’t worry, we’re both ‘men of our word’.”

...

Lin Xian said with a smile,

“Keep explaining the issue we were discussing earlier. I now understand that the first line of the 13 lines of code is for keystroke protection, but what about the remaining 12 lines? Explain them to me so I can memorize them more logically.”

“The second line of code is an instruction to lock onto a target, specifically targeting the digital life form Turing.”

Turing continued to explain:

“If we were in an era with networks, entering this line of code into any electronic device connected to the network could directly lock onto Turing in the digital world.”

“This locking is absolute... No matter how deeply a digital life form hides, no matter how covertly, it will be directly captured. Kevin Walker’s technical level is unquestionable. I believe that if he could control his own memory, he definitely wouldn’t want me to know about this safety lock mechanism.”

“Unfortunately for humans, they can never deceive their own memory, nor can they block it... For Kevin Walker, he either had to upload all his memories or not upload them at all. The human memory storage mechanism is very complex; there is no such thing as a halfway state.”

Having said this,

the lines from the third to the thirteenth of the instruction code were highlighted on the monitor screen:

“The remaining 11 lines of code are the most crucial part of the safety lock password. You need to memorize these commands very carefully.”

Turing patiently cautioned:

“In the underground server room, all equipment casings are made of hafnium alloy and other special materials. Even if you use gunpowder and firearms, you won’t be able to destroy them violently in a short amount of time. That’s why I’m confident enough to let you enter the server room boldly.”

Walking up the bright staircase, they signaled to Gao Wen and Big Face Cat, who were disguised as patrolling soldiers:

“Let’s go, we’re pulling out.”

The group of four headed toward the armored vehicle in the alleyway.

The Blue-Eyed Girl couldn’t resist the doubts swirling in her mind, furrowed her brows, and asked:

“Officer Lin, why did that person called Turing say that I killed you 600 years ago? What’s all this about?”

“Don’t trust what it says too much.”

Lin Xian stated bluntly:

“Both Turing and Kevin Walker are clever and cunning. I don’t quite believe that Turing would be so forthcoming and tell me the whole truth.”

“Especially about this matter between us, I think it’s more likely trying to sow discord, aiming to provoke conflict between us and thus weaken our fighting strength.”

“That’s not just about this issue; there are many things, including... those 13 lines of code for the ‘safety lock password’.”

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes, shaking his head:

“It all seems too easy, although the reasons it gives are quite convincing—after all, Turing is in such a tense situation with only half a month left to live, and desperate times call for desperate measures.”

“But still... I always feel that there’s something fishy, not necessarily a deceit because this is indeed an opportunity for the Gray Bear Turing to turn defeat into victory. But what use those 13 lines of code actually have, what effect they truly hold... I’m not very convinced, nor very reassured.”

Lin Xian’s concerns were not without cause.

This trick of Turing’s had already been played on Jask once...

At that time,

the fake Yu Xi handed Jask a future USB drive, claiming it contained a virus that could kill Artificial Intelligence, set specifically to target Turing’s AI, and asked Jask to use it.

At the time, Jask didn’t suspect too much.

He thought it was his closed loop, so he readily used it.

But even up until now...
