Fault Utopia

Chapter 5 Madman
At this moment, Sun Jack, who was in the heavy rain, was still listening to the robot continue to tell this history.

"The information on the Internet is not detailed, but the general meaning is that AIs that are integrated into all aspects of human life are becoming more and more similar to humans, and eventually one day they will surpass humans, and then they will wake up and begin to destroy humans."

"Nuclear bombs became as casually used as ordinary artillery shells, and the entire Earth was in complete chaos. The battle lasted for 200 years, and nearly 85% of the Earth's population died. The ecosystem was completely destroyed, and the weather system was completely disrupted."

Sun Jack thought of the silver planetary rings and the dense satellite debris that enveloped the entire earth. He understood that the war must have been extremely brutal, with the battles being fought from the sky to the ground, and even the moon was blown up.

The tidal changes caused by the disappearance of the moon will definitely bring devastating blows to the earth.

"and then?"

"Then humans did everything they could to destroy all awakened AIs, won the final victory, and began to create a new home on the ruins. The year of victory was a new era for mankind. Then, 721 years later, you woke up and activated me in the sky, and then we fell from the sky."

"What is going on? What is going on?" At this moment, Sun Jack felt exhausted. Everything happened too fast and his mind was in a mess.

The robot sat down next to him. "What are you going to do next?"

Sun Jie Ke did not answer, with a trace of confusion in his eyes. To be honest, he did not know what to do, as to how he came to this place more than a thousand years later.

Will I never see everything I once had again? Will I really never be able to go back? What happened to the five years of memory that disappeared?
"Are you defeated already? Then I really look down on you. Don't expect me to comfort you. I don't have such a program installed in my system." The robot stretched out its metal hand and pushed his shoulder hard.

"Fuck you." Sun Jie Ke cursed with a smile and struggled to stand up. "It's not that easy to defeat me! I at least want to find out why I was put in the space station and what happened to the lost five years of memory."

Sun Jie Ke didn't want to live in such a confused state. Even if he could never go back, he had to figure out what was going on with him.

Thinking of this, Sun Jieke's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked up at the robot and said, "By the way, aren't you connected to the Internet? Go search for records from the old times and see if there is any record of my name and appearance, such as some missing persons notices or accidents."

The robot searched for a while and soon brought Sun Jack some bad news. "No data was found. In order to prevent the riot AI data from being uploaded, the old Internet had already been destroyed. Not a single byte was left. The current network is newly built, and even the protocol is brand new."

“Everything recorded about the old world is repeated in the new world.”

"I'm really convinced. Forget it. Let's open the map and find someone first. I'm really thirsty and hungry now. I need a place to rest."

Looking at the ruins all around him, the exhausted Sun Jack felt numb.

"Understood, user request has been received, searching the map."

Sun Jieke sat on the ground, looking at the robot in front of him. He suddenly laughed out loud, "Let me give you a name. It doesn't seem good to keep calling you a robot."

As soon as Sun Jie Ke finished speaking, he heard the other party's sarcastic reply.

"Ah. I won't bother you. My wise and powerful master gave me a name. I wonder if I'm mistaken. It's my name. Look at it. It's so good."

After saying that, he did not forget to pop up a matching emoji on the eye socket display. () "The situation was urgent before, how about this, your company seems to be called Tapai. How about you call it Tapai?"

"Ah~ I think it would be better for me to go and see if there is anything wrong instead of going through all the trouble." Tapai put down his repaired arm and said relentlessly.

"How can you be so stingy? I told you it was an emergency."

However, this time, Ta Pai did not talk nonsense, and his tone suddenly became serious.

"Jack, I'm afraid we're in trouble. I just noticed that the number of views on this map is increasing rapidly. Many people know that something has fallen from the sky. They are all navigating here and will be coming over soon."

"Oh?! Isn't that even better?" Sun Jack was ecstatic. He could finally meet the people from this world. With them, he could be saved.

"I'm afraid that's not a good idea." The robot dragged Sun Jack and started walking.

"You mean they're going to study me, a man who lived a thousand years ago? They're going to slice me up?"

"No, they will kill. Forget about the old world. The rules of the world have completely changed. If we follow the rules of our old era, the mercenaries who come to take advantage of the situation are all cyber lunatics."

"Are they all crazy?"

"Yes, they are all crazy."

"Why? Are they really that dangerous? They can't even communicate?" Sun Jack asked unwillingly.

"What happened in the last era has made people in this era completely distrust AI. All AI intelligence is stuck below strong AI level 3. This means that some things that should have been done by robots can only be done by humans, such as war."

"In the arms race, in order to improve the strength of soldiers, some weapons that were previously only available on robots began to be installed on humans. They called these things prosthetics, and installed a neural system directly in the brain to unify the control. As veterans continued to retire, this trend gradually began to spread from the military to civilians."

"What does this have to do with madmen?" Sun Jieke wiped the rain off his face with his hand and shook it aside with force.

"Because this kind of modification is not that simple, gradually prosthetics are no longer limited to weapons, but are beginning to develop into services."

"As long as you are rich enough, you can transform your stomach so that you don't need to eat or excrete anything, and can directly install a nutrition box. You can even transform the ascending reticular network of your brain so that you don't need to sleep and can be energetic 24 hours a day."

"Isn't that even better? Technology is so advanced nowadays. I want to get one too." Sun Jack was excited after hearing this. Is this the world of the future?
"Yes, this is indeed better, but if they don't even need to eat or sleep, are they still human? As the differences grow, some people gradually stop considering themselves human and begin to lose empathy. They think they are more advanced beings. They call themselves cyborgs, but the public calls them cybercrazy people."

"In fact, it's not just a cognitive problem. Mercenaries are the rats in the city, specializing in eating corpses and doing dirty work. They can't use the latest technology."

"Many people use drugs and inhibitors to suppress the rejection and phantom pain caused by second-hand or incorrect prostheses. So even if they don't have cognitive problems, their mental state is not very good under the influence of drugs."
