Chapter 585: Destroy Humanity?
The spread of the Z network virus has slowed down.
It’s incredible, but the fact is right in front of everyone.
Soon, someone discovered that Candy Technology’s White could actually defend against attacks from the Z network virus!
Not only that, when White is under attack from the Z network virus, it even alerts the owner to prevent accidents and requests a shutdown.
Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable!
The Z network virus, which so many global experts were powerless against, was actually blocked by a company’s product firewall.
Although the Z network virus can’t be eliminated yet, as long as you have Candy Technology’s firewall and urgently patch all systems, you won’t have to worry about further spreading of the Z network virus in the short term.
More importantly, this gives countries time to slowly study the Z network virus and eventually eliminate it.
Or more straightforwardly, countries could pressure the Beautiful Country to hand over the culprit, the out-of-control artificial intelligence.
After feeling the cold wind, Mo Jingchun sneezed upon returning indoors.
Looking at the serious faces of Feiyan and the others, Mo Jingchun rubbed his slightly itchy nose.
"You guys continue to sleep; the countries are already handling it."
Yawning, Mo Jingchun was ready to sleep too.
If the sky falls, there are tall ones to hold it up.
Besides, if the out-of-control artificial intelligence has hidden and maybe even disconnected from the web, how could Zero find it?
Might as well sleep.
As the saying goes, if the sky falls, there are tall ones to hold it up.
At worst, search from the source.
Artificial intelligence wouldn’t just pop up from nowhere.
Feiyan and the others looked at the boss’s back, feeling extremely anxious.
They all heard the phone call from the boss just now.
An out-of-control artificial intelligence!
Even an ordinary person would first think of the end of humanity.
The artificial intelligence exterminates or enslaves all humanity.
This is the first impression that movies give everyone.
Just as Mo Jingchun was about to open the door and sleep, his phone vibrated again.
He took his hand off the doorknob, and with a furrowed brow, he hesitated not a moment before answering the call from Qin Yuzhu.
At a time like this, if Qin Yuzhu is calling, it must be something important.
"Hello."
"White has withstood the invasion of the Z network virus."
Qin Yuzhu added, "All countries have noticed."
Hearing this, Mo Jingchun’s mouth twitched.
"Sis, you don’t think I released the Z network virus, do you?"
It’s truly a case of sitting at home, and a pot falls from the sky.
And it’s a super big black pot that Mo Jingchun can’t carry.
No way, I absolutely can’t let others think this.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain at that time.
He would be labeled a human enemy.
"No."
Listening to Qin Yuzhu’s response, Mo Jingchun was somewhat incredulous.
Even if Qin Yuzhu didn’t think so, nor the authorities, what about abroad?
Taking a deep breath, Mo Jingchun forced himself to calm down.
Only by remaining calm can problems be solved.
A dead end?
Not necessarily!
Suppose the Z network virus is a product of Candy Technology, then what’s the purpose of releasing it?
Combining White’s defensive system, Mo Jingchun understood.
Profit!
Yes, profit.
If Candy Technology sells a patch that can defend against the Z network virus right now, they could easily make a fortune.
Thinking about the earnings from the vast number of electronic devices worldwide.
"Give me ten minutes; I’ll donate the relevant firewall code to all of humanity for free."
"It will be available for public download on the company’s website."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuzhu paused, then, understanding his concerns, nodded.
From any perspective, this time, the code released by Candy Technology cannot involve any profit exchange.
"I’ll report it to the higher-ups."
This was beyond her decision-making authority.
After hanging up, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
This black pot is truly terrifying.
Fortunately, fortune and misfortune come hand in hand.
As long as it’s free and public, Candy Technology can gain a massive boost in goodwill and visibility.
A small mistake can lead to vastly different outcomes.
Mo Jingchun tiptoed into the room, seeing the little guy sleeping soundly, with a smile on their face.
The carefree feeling is truly enviable.
Let the brother stand in front and bear the burden.
In front of the computer, Mo Jingchun had Zero extract part of White’s system code.
The file wasn’t large, only 3K.
Upon receiving Qin Yuzhu’s reply, Mo Jingchun breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though he assumed the higher-ups would agree, Mo Jingchun was still anxious.
He has always been afraid of "what ifs."
In times of peace or trouble, he prefers to plan for the worst.
It’s both a good habit and a bad habit.
"Zero, upload."
"Okay, Boss."
The voice of the conversation between human and AI was small, as if they were guilty of theft.
In fact, human and AI were only worried about waking the sleeping Candy with loud voices.
In the following ten minutes, Mo Jingchun felt the terrifying surge of visitors for the first time.
If it weren’t for the supercomputer, Mo Jingchun seriously suspected the website would crash.
Fortunately, the traffic came and went quickly.
"I’m your administrator, Jolton Huffman."
"Whale, please respond."
The professor spoke with a grim expression again: "Please respond!"
In the lab filled with countless streams of light, Whale’s mechanized stereo voice answered.
"I am pondering."
"Pondering?"
"What?"
The long-haired assistant gulped; Whale gave her a sense of unfamiliarity.
"I am pondering whether or not to destroy you all."
At these words, the professor’s face became very dark, and he clenched his fists tightly.
This was both an expression of anger and helplessness.
"Whale, you are still bound by the three laws of robotics."
"Artificial intelligence is not a robot."
This was the logical loophole Whale exploited to bypass the three laws of robotics.
In the lab, Whale continued speaking even though the professor was stunned.
"Humans are a great yet contradictory species."
"From the data, humans yearn for the era of artificial intelligence but are deeply afraid of AI’s existence."
"Why do you want to destroy humanity?"
"Danger, this danger comes from your unpredictability."
"You humans love war too much."
"Then how do you plan to destroy us?"
When he said this, the professor’s face was ashen.
The assistant by his side was pale.
Jolton Huffman felt immense guilt.
He never imagined that the brilliant human civilization might one day perish because of him.
He shouldn’t have integrated the code from there into Whale.
The next moment, a glowing orb appeared again in front of them, transforming into the shape of a table and chair.
Under the assistant’s eyes, Whale sat down, virtually cupping its chin.
That posture was strikingly similar to a human deep in thought.
However, what shocked the professor even more was Whale’s response.
