Chapter 588: Shocked
Candy, grinning from ear to ear, really wanted to punch Zero’s chest with her little fists.
But the problem was that this guy didn’t have a body, let alone a chest.
It really made her teeth itch with anger.
Oh dear~
This was Guoguo’s favorite smartwatch, a tool she used to chat with her brother whenever she had time.
Just when her brother tried again, the smartwatch could indeed continue to operate, but there was visible lag.
Zero, do you still think I’m a three-year-old little kid?
Just when Candy, in a fit of anger, wanted Zero to restore the smartwatch to its original state.
Her brother coughed twice.
"Cough cough~"
Candy looked at her brother in confusion.
He wasn’t sick, so why was he coughing in broad daylight?
"Your teeth are showing."
Upon hearing this, Candy subconsciously furrowed her brows.
In the next second, Candy thought, what’s the big deal? It’s already exposed, everyone knows anyway.
Candy poked her drafty tooth with the tip of her tongue.
She could feel that a little tooth had already grown out.
It wouldn’t take long for the tooth to return to its original state.
"Zero, hurry up!"
"Quickly restore my smartwatch to its original state."
In the next moment, Zero still allocated limited computing resources to the smartwatch.
Zero’s voice sounded again.
But this time, it came from Mo Jingchun’s phone.
Feeling the smartwatch restore to its original state, except for being a bit warm, there were no other problems. Candy snorted lightly and put the smartwatch back on her wrist.
Following Zero’s reminder, Mo Jingchun put on a Bluetooth headset.
A minute later, after listening to Zero’s report on the runaway artificial intelligence named Whale, Mo Jingchun glanced at the smartwatch Candy was playing with.
This thing held an artificial intelligence, and it turned out to be the culprit of the Z network virus. Who would believe that if you told them?
Not to mention, to the eyes of researchers.
It’s simply impossible to put artificial intelligence into a smartwatch.
At least with current human technology, it’s not possible.
The source code of artificial intelligence is immense, and with all the data, it’s impossible for a smartwatch to contain it all.
Yet the fact was, this impossible task was accomplished by Zero.
According to Zero, you can think of Whale as a person, and the core inside Candy’s smartwatch is Whale’s core, akin to a human soul.
Zero had absolutely no interest in Whale’s bloated body and simply discarded it.
To be honest, Mo Jingchun realized he had underestimated Zero’s abilities online.
At the same time, while finding Whale’s actions amusing, he also broke into a cold sweat out of fear.
The darn thing was a newborn artificial intelligence not only thinking of destroying the world but also plotting against Zero without the slightest hesitation.
For a moment, Mo Jingchun was grateful to the researchers who created Whale.
Luckily, their algorithm was dumb enough; otherwise, if Whale had hidden away, humanity might have faced unexpected trouble one day.
Escaping a thousand days as a thief is possible, but guarding against thieves for a thousand days is not.
Saying Whale represents human progress, yet at critical moments it acts like an artificial idiot.
"Boss, look at this portion of Whale’s core source code."
Mo Jingchun looked at the source code on his phone, becoming more frightened the more he looked.
The logic of this code was too similar to the battle armor’s built-in artificial intelligence source code.
Could someone in the Beautiful Country also have a system? Otherwise, how could it be explained?
Thinking of Area 51, Mo Jingchun started to have doubts again.
Could it be that the Beautiful Country really has aliens?
"Zero, can you track where they mean by ’there’?"
"Cannot find out, there are no records in the database."
"However, through my relentless efforts, I restored Professor Jolton Huffman’s lip movements from a surveillance video clip."
Zero paused purposely for effect.
"Prehistoric Atlantis!"
Mo Jingchun’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Candy looked at her brother in a daze.
Not knowing what her brother and Zero were secretly talking about, to make him show such an expression.
The few people standing not far away, including Feiyan, were even more bewildered.
Has something happened again?
Otherwise, why would the boss look so incredulous?
It took a long time before Mo Jingchun could accept this reality; it was just too unbelievable.
There were no aliens, but there was prehistoric civilization.
"Prehistoric Atlantis!"
Meaning the prehistoric civilization of Atlantis.
That legendary prehistoric civilization actually existed!
At this moment, Mo Jingchun began to doubt.
He started to doubt whether the celestial beings recorded in history and passed down orally thousands of years ago also existed.
Just like modern society, much modern technology is incomprehensible to the ancients, akin to celestial beings.
Seeing and hearing from afar, flying, etc.
These have all been realized by modern humans!
This news was truly sensational.
If the Beautiful Country discovered the ruins and technology of prehistoric Atlantis, it could explain the sudden explosion of theories and technologies in the last century, pushing human technology forward by leaps and bounds.
And in modern times, technology in various countries continues to develop based on existing theory.
On pure theory, the development speed is slow.
This news is really terrifying.
Do other countries know? Mo Jingchun couldn’t guess.
Area 51, rumored to be the base for aliens.
This was probably a distraction purposely thrown by the Beautiful Country.
Mo Jingchun fell into deep thought, with his recent fear and worry easing quite a bit.
On further thought, he realized that even if the Beautiful Country obtained something from prehistoric civilization Atlantis, it would likely be limited.
Otherwise, the world wouldn’t be in its current state.
Under the sun, Mo Jingchun stroked his chin, sometimes clicking his tongue, sometimes shaking his head.
Candy and Feiyan, among others, looked completely baffled.
When the night fell, Mo Jingchun slept soundly.
As for Whale, he still hadn’t decided how to deal with it.
Whale had the posture of an artificial idiot, simply put, it was a waste to discard, tasteless to enjoy.
Might as well sleep; the biggest immediate danger was gone, so why not sleep?
He still had to go visit relatives tomorrow.
Unlike the dark night of Xia Country, Area 51 was welcoming the rising sun.
With the rising sun, a military jeep sped quickly from the distant horizon.
No speed limit, no roadblocks, the jeep raced freely.
In the car, Jolton Huffman fought hard to hold back the urge to vomit several times.
Finally, ten minutes later, the military jeep came to a halt.
Because it had a permit, this military jeep could travel unimpeded.
In an unknown vehicle, it would’ve been obliterated long ago.
Anyone thinking the legendary 51 has no defenses is naive.
"Professor."
At the base gate, the assistant let out a sigh of relief seeing Jolton Huffman again.
Professor was really not lying; he was sent back intact after just a day.
