MTL - Darkness is Coming-Chapter 637 The red flag is planted in front of the new world
The members of the delegations from various countries who went to Mongolia to sign the peace treaty exchanged documents in silence. The outcome of the battle can only be inferred from the attitude of the Holy Queen when she left the field.
This result made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Since these awakened people who traveled with the Huaxia delegation to the signing ceremony were able to defeat the representatives of the highest force among the saints, it means that human beings have the top combat power to suppress or kill the saints. Only by ensuring this, can humans and the saints truly build a peaceful situation together.
After the representatives of the two sides announced the official entry into force of the peace treaty, the terrifying beast of the modern economy temporarily stopped for various reasons. The beautiful life of the man was smashed, and a big hand that had always been hidden behind the scenes reached out, comforted it gently and gently, and let it return to the track it should be on again.
This is a miracle that no one has witnessed. Even the world's top economists and the most forward-looking financial experts can only observe the sudden appearance before others when the giant beast raises his palm. Shadows, but they could never stop the fall of this palm.
In most people's perception, the modern economy is a huge machine that must be kept at high speed and has no steering wheel. Almost everyone is a part of this machine. No one is irreplaceable core hardware, and no one can make this A machine brakes, and no one can make this machine drive on its intended path. Any braking or change of direction may lead to more serious consequences than a local war.
However, just like the zombies, domes, mutants, magic tides and awakeners that have appeared before, people's cognition has been subverted again.
In the Oval Office, Washington, D.C., the United States, William Harrison's gaze, through the cigar between his fingers, fell on the flag on his right hand.
"The Stars and Stripes are still flying," he thought to himself, "but maybe it's not like it used to be, always on top of the world and number one."
As early as when the invisible big hand walked out of the background, the White House had formed a special team to try to analyze this strange phenomenon, but it had achieved very little, and there were not many valuable clues in the documents full of a lot of terms.
This is not surprising, after all, the economic experts of the US federal government are not necessarily the world's top economic leaders, nor are they all willing to serve the current president. What really surprised William Harrison was that he could get answers from the most unexpected sources.
The answer is not an economist, but current Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, First Deputy Secretary William Lynn and CIA Director Leon Panette.
They put forward a hypothesis that since human beings themselves are far from being able to steer the economic wheels, it must be considered that someone borrowed a tool in accomplishing this miracle - borrowing tools, which is what humans are best at doing ——Or, this series of magical methods created out of nothing is not a masterpiece of human beings at all, but a masterpiece of human masterpieces.
Both of these possibilities are inseparable from one keyword: artificial intelligence.
The artificial intelligence that can be taken seriously by the Minister of Defense is naturally not the kind of idiot AI used by unscrupulous businesses to stir up the market heat, but a real digital life with supreme power.
The three intelligence chiefs are not unfamiliar with this high-end technology, because a legendary figure appeared in the United States. With the request and help of the federal government, he created a large-scale monitoring system called "machine", in which the core has been Extremely close to artificial intelligence, but due to various accidents and defects in hardware equipment, Harold Finch, the father of "machines", did not continue on the road of creating artificial intelligence.
And now, the final kick seems to have been stepped out, but the leg that kicked the door to the new world does not belong to the United States.
"Hey." William Harrison sighed, his heart filled with unwillingness and fear, but not much self-blame, after all, when Harold Finch created the "machine" and put it into use, he had not yet entered the White House. On the presidency, if someone is to be responsible for the backwardness of the US federal government in artificial intelligence technology, it should be the former president who retired and retired, and the three gentlemen in front of him.
Self-pity and shirk responsibility are not things a president can do. William Harrison quickly adjusted his facial expression and asked solemnly: "So, can we know how far we are behind in artificial intelligence research and development now? ?"
"In theory, the second-generation 'machine' that has been optimized and improved is only a small step behind the core algorithm, but Your Excellency, some successes do require the inspiration of genius. Otherwise, even a small step away It will take decades to leapfrog, because we can easily go astray." CIA Director Leon Panette spoke before the Secretary of Defense, "Based on the intelligence we have, I believe that such a case has occurred in the Huaxia Yuanjiang. He is a genius, so before I said that the Awakener is an important strategic resource unmatched by any technology. Because an Awakener with special abilities is likely to improve a certain field by leaps and bounds. Previously, I thought that the Huaxia military would make The behavior of a large number of Awakeneds going to the battlefield to participate in the war is as stupid as the upstarts, and now it seems that maybe it is just to make us careless."
"What about the civilians and soldiers who awakened their superpowers in Los Angeles? And Mr. Finch? Can they help us catch up?" William Harrison added, "Using artificial intelligence to form a technological monopoly in China Before."
"We have signed a secret agreement with the superpowers, they are training at the Nevada base, and no related powers have yet been found. And Mr. Finch..." Secretary of Defense Robert Gates looked embarrassed, and his deputy William Lynn smiled wryly He continued: "The 'Mr. Finch' we invited is not the real Harold Finch, but a computer expert who dreams of being able to get close to the 'machine' and guard the 'machine'. As for Harold Finch himself, it is very likely that he is in a secret base in China. I have tried to confirm this, but unfortunately, China has a high level of control over domestic intelligence, and I cannot collect valid proof."
William Harrison looked at the three intelligence officers coldly. Their embarrassed expressions merged into another scene: in front of the gate of the new world, a five-star red flag fluttered in full bloom.
