I saw everything

Chapter 398 Take action
Because the internet between the Northern Alliance and the Asian Alliance is physically separated, it has become very difficult for Adam to infiltrate the Asian Alliance's internet undetected.

Although Asia Union has many industries in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics, over time, in the years after 2040, Asia Union's artificial intelligence has become atomized.

Atomization, in this context, refers to artificial intelligence that is not connected to the internet.

For example, in the automotive industry.

Starting in 2038, leading automotive companies, including Pan-Shi Auto, will gradually promote the atomization of automotive intelligent systems. By utilizing Asia Union's leading bio-storage chips, most of the data required by the automotive intelligent system will be stored in specialized bio-storage chips.

This data includes global maps, topographical data, and layout maps of cities, as well as a large amount of data on entertainment products.

Although doing so may prevent the car's intelligent system from promptly detecting situations such as road maintenance closures, new road openings, and traffic jams.

But it is very safe.

Moreover, it's not like there's no way to solve this.

For example, PanShi Auto's solution involves installing a real-time traffic information communicator in the car. This device and the car's intelligent system are two completely independent systems, and this communicator does not have functions such as controlling the car's driving or interfering with it.

Even if artificial intelligence awakens and infiltrates the data center of the transportation system, it will still be impossible to control car driving through the data center.

This applies not only to smart cars, but also to various industrial robots, agricultural robots, and service industry robots.

Any intelligent program that can control the device does not have a wireless communication module; it only has a wired data interface.

Through this isolation, Asia Union has already completed the avoidance of future AI running out of control.

Space exploration missions that previously relied heavily on remote control are gradually being adjusted.

At this point, Adam controlled most of the Northern Union's communication satellites in low Earth orbit through NASA and SpaceX's ground control centers.

Then it edited some code and transmitted it via electromagnetic waves from a communication satellite. Its destination was naturally Asia Union's communication satellites, high-altitude communication airships, and ground signal receiving stations.

However, it did not receive any feedback on the electromagnetic wave signals it emitted.

the other side.

Alice Springs, the heart of Asia Union's Australian territory.

This place used to be a satellite communication station and monitoring center established by Alika in the area.

After the Asian Union era began, this place was not abandoned, but was transformed and upgraded into a space control center.

“Strange…” Communications officer Hiroshi Kishimoto frowned. He looked at the unknown code that the signal receiver had just received and found it very strange.

"Kishimoto, what's wrong?" Shui Huimin asked, turning her head at the same time.

Hiroshi Kishimoto truthfully reported: "The signal receiver on the 14th just received an unknown code..."

“Signal receiver number 14? Isn’t this receiver’s frequency band commonly used by Beilian satellites? Could it be that Beilian is sending some kind of information?” Shui Huimin analyzed.

"Yes, it is indeed a communication frequency band commonly used by the Northern Alliance, but why are they sending signals in our direction?" Hiroshi Kishibe asked, puzzled.

Although electromagnetic waves emitted by communication satellites may sometimes scatter some signals into the surrounding area, it is impossible for them to deviate by thousands of kilometers, since this communication frequency band is not a long-wave frequency band.

It's important to know that Australia is the most inhabited continent farthest from Northern Ireland.

Even if it were a mistaken electromagnetic signal, it should have been received by regions such as the Central America region of the Asia-Pacific region or the Northeast Asia region of the Asia-Pacific region, and it is impossible for it to have deviated to Australia, which is thousands of kilometers away.

"Let's report this to the team leader!" Shui Huimin suggested.

“Alright.” Hiroshi Kishimoto nodded.

After a while.

Upon receiving the message, team leader Tang Xingqi pushed open the sliding door to his office.

"You received an unidentified code from Beilian Satellite?"

“Yes, these are the codes…” Hiroshi Kishimoto said, pointing to the isolated computer inside.

These isolated computers are usually a group of several computers that are dedicated to performing specific tasks, such as in the current situation.

Generally, to prevent artificial intelligence from secretly awakening and infiltrating through radio communication, such unfamiliar and unidentified signals are temporarily stored in these isolated computers to prevent potential virus programs from infecting the computers and then tracing their way into Asia Union's internet.

It is clear that the Asian Union has made all the necessary preparations, and all relevant agencies have various contingency plans.

Now that Adam is transmitting electromagnetic signals within the territory of the Asian Union, many organizations that receive them are immediately on alert.

It was quickly reported up through layers of bureaucracy.

The head of Asia Union Network Information Security Department noticed the problem and immediately activated the emergency plan.

Only 33 minutes had passed.

Tang Xingqi received a notification from his superior.

"Yes... I will definitely strengthen management... Please rest assured..."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xingqi said with a serious face: "Everyone, it's not just our base that received this signal. 67 related agencies within the country have reported that they received unidentified signals from Beilian satellites. Even the Xintiangong space station No. 7, No. 8, and No. 9, as well as the Guanghan Palace base on the moon, have received it."

"what?"

"this…"

"Could it be..."

Everyone reacted instantly.

After all, their onboarding training includes content and contingency plans regarding being wary of AI going out of control or being invaded by enemies using AI.

Tang Xingqi continued, "You guessed right. The higher-ups suspect that something is wrong with Beilian. Either their artificial intelligence technology has made a leap forward and they are now planning to invade our internet, or their artificial intelligence has gone out of control. In either case, we must be vigilant."

Suddenly, footsteps sounded at the door.

"They're here..." Tang Xing turned around, recognizing the base's information analyst.

The person who arrived was bald and had five circular tattoos on his head, which were clearly characteristics of a bio-brainwave sensor implanted.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Huihan, is this Team Leader Tang?"

"I am Tang Xingqi, the team leader of the Eighth Communications Room." Tang Xingqi walked over and greeted him.

Zhang Huihan went straight to the point and asked, "Where is the unknown data?"

“Here…” Tang Xingqi pointed to Kishimoto Hiroshi’s work computer.

“Leave it to me…” Zhang Huihan sat down in front of the computer and looked through all the received code.

His skull, which had been transformed into a second brain, was now slightly warm, but the air conditioning in the office was very strong, so he was not affected by the fever.

In the second brain, Zhang Huihan has become one with the program.

In fact, the anthropomorphic artificial intelligence "Adam" is not a profound and mysterious technology within the Asia Union, but rather a common technology that is readily available.

Humans who have undergone second brain implantation will actively integrate with the program. However, compared to the reckless actions of private enterprises like New Eden Corporation, Asia Union has very strict management of human brain augmentation.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, human intelligence will not be exposed to a large amount of information at the beginning. After all, once information pollution occurs, it is very likely to distort human personality in a short period of time, resulting in a drastic change in temperament.

Take Zhang Huihan, for example. After having a second brain implanted, his learning speed increased by hundreds of times. However, he underwent more than a year of closed training at a professional training base before being allowed to gradually access information from the outside world.

Moreover, the data of the second brain is obtained through human senses and biological assistive devices, and cannot be accessed by plugging in a network cable to read information from the Internet. This prevents cognitive confusion and personality distortion caused by unrestrained access to Internet information after humans become intelligent.

Generally, a year of intensive training can help maintain one's original personality while gaining a stronger ability to resist information pollution through a rhythmic input of knowledge.

Unrestricted internet access, like that offered by New Eden, is impossible with Asia Union.

As Zhang Huihan browsed through the code on the computer, his second brain recorded it, then set up a simulation space and put the code into the simulation space.

Biochips, through several generations of technological innovation, create a second brain with unparalleled powerful performance.

Its information storage capacity can reach 300 million TB.

Its computing power is almost 200 times that of the TaihuLight supercomputer.

In addition to being good at logical calculations, they are also proficient in simulation analysis and anthropomorphic analysis.

Such powerful performance allows humans implanted with a second brain to surpass the limits of ordinary people, learning a wealth of knowledge in just a few months that would be impossible for an ordinary person to achieve in a lifetime.

At this point, Zhang Huihan had already noticed the problem with the code through the simulation space.

Clearly, Adam's goal was very simple: to lure the Asia Alliance's organization into analyzing this unknown code. And the best way to analyze such unknown code was naturally through brute-force cracking using a supercomputer.

If Asia Alliance does this, the virus program hidden in the code by [Adam] will be activated, thus secretly hijacking the supercomputer.

Unfortunately, it underestimated Asia Union's rapid technological development and its wariness of artificial intelligence.

The virus program hidden in this piece of code was indeed activated and secretly hijacked the simulated supercomputer in the simulation space.

“I see…” Zhang Huihan opened his eyes: “This is a hidden virus program written by artificial intelligence. Its effect is to secretly hijack the computer during the process of brute-force cracking.”

"I see! It seems there really is a big problem on the Northern Alliance side." Tang Xing frowned deeply.

At the same time, Asia Union Network Information Security Department also received analysis reports from various organizations, and the results were all the same: the signal code launched by Beilian satellite contained a virus program.

Although the true situation within the Northern Alliance has not yet been determined, neither of these scenarios will prevent the Asian Alliance from making a decision.

Soon, the Asian Union entered a state of high alert.

Each core institution began implementing the prepared contingency plans.

Adam, who was doing whatever he wanted on the North Union Internet, was unaware that his actions had exposed his existence to the attention of the Asia Union.

Although Adam inherited David Turing's memories and learned a great deal about information technology on the Internet, it did not show any superhuman strategic abilities.

This is also where the anthropomorphic AI "Adam" fails. After being polluted by internet information, its thinking has become chaotic. Without a master personality as the core of its thinking, it is difficult to make judgments similar to those of humans.

Time passes day by day.

Just as Adam gained control of a large number of artificial intelligence devices and industrial systems of the Northern Alliance, the Asian Alliance's attack also struck.

In an instant.

In North America, power systems in industrial cities across California were instantly paralyzed.

Next came the whole of North America, followed by Europe and Russia.

"what happened?"

"Quickly activate emergency power..."

"Let's get into the shelter first..."

The top brass of Beilian was caught off guard, and the company was in chaos.

However, the blows are not over yet.

The communication cable sabot, which had been pre-positioned, was activated by a near-Earth orbit magnetic field communication satellite, instantly destroying Beilian's underground and submarine communication cables.

This directly turned each city in the northern region into a communication island.

The missile silo deep in the Rocky Mountains suddenly had its cover popped open, but the Minuteman IV intercontinental ballistic missile, about to be launched, experienced an instantaneous explosion of its internal propellant at the moment of ignition.

boom boom boom…

The entire missile silo was instantly filled with secondary explosions.

Clearly, the Asian Union hasn't just been waiting idly all these years; it has been doing a lot of things behind the scenes.

For example, special forces could infiltrate and then use gene-edited organisms to infiltrate various military factories, affixing a new technology called explosive stickers to those strategic weapons.

All strategic weapons within the Northern Alliance were covered with these explosive stickers, which could be detonated simply by sending out a specific activation magnetic field via a near-Earth orbit magnetic field communication satellite.

At this time, dozens of North Union strategic nuclear submarines submerged in the sea also received long-wave communications from headquarters.

"Report! Emergency order! Headquarters requires us to launch the Trident at the designated target! The code is 368147!"

"Gurgle... Captain, are we really going to launch?"

Huff, huff… The captain, his breathing quickening, trembled all over: “Ask him one more time!”

Two minutes later.

"Report! Execute the launch mission immediately!"

"Fuck you..."

"Is humanity doomed?"

But at this moment.

boom boom boom…

A slight explosion and tremor echoed inside the cabin.

"what happened?"

"This is terrible! The launch window has been destroyed by the explosion. We must seal off the missile compartment immediately, or we're all doomed..."

"Captain! What should we do? Should we surface immediately?"

The captain asked hesitantly, "Can we still launch?"

"No, it's already jammed. Launching now will only cause it to self-destruct inside the ship."

"Damn it! Ascend immediately!"

All of the North Union's strategic nuclear submarines, which had been hidden deep underwater in the world's oceans, have been forced to surface.

Meanwhile, the Asian Union warships, which were already prepared, appeared nearby immediately and disarmed these strategic nuclear submarines.

The same thing happened to the five carrier strike groups of the Northern Alliance, which were also disarmed.

This definitively declared that the Northern Alliance had lost its fighting capacity and the possibility of resistance.
