Unconventional security

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

This statement is no less tantamount to telling someone that they are impotent in front of their wife, or telling a policeman that someone is a wanted criminal.

"Gu Zhou, what nonsense are you spouting?!"

Ye Zhixue quickly slapped him, saying that AI is just a tool for humans, and AI robots are just slaves of humans.

Isn't this a veiled insult to Cao Chengxiu?

As expected, Cao Chengxiu's face darkened, and he coldly snorted, "What do you mean by that? Did you meet me just to mock me?"

Chen Bei put down his teacup, his gaze intense: "You spent 1000 million on a prosthetic leg before, was it attached to your own leg?"

"I specifically looked up that prosthetic limb; it's a bionic prosthetic limb, not some kind of mechanical prosthetic limb."

The bionic prosthetic arm is somewhere between a robotic arm and a human arm, with high-precision algorithms and components inside and a human skin-like texture on the outside.

On the surface, an android looks no different from a human. Just like the three androids Chen Bei and his friends encountered on the road, they wouldn't have known they were androids if they hadn't cut their necks.

Most importantly, androids equipped with advanced parts can also drink water and eat.

Cao Chengxiu also put down his teacup, his tone indifferent, "So what? Just because I bought a cyborg prosthetic limb?"

"Nowadays, if disabled people have money, no one would choose to buy prosthetics or mechanical limbs, right?"

"If you're just here to amuse me, you can leave in a minute. There's only one minute left. Goodbye."

Chen Bei was not intimidated by his imposing manner; he had evidence to support his belief that the other party was an android.

The greatest guarantee is one's own brain disease.

Brain diseases can resonate with the soul, as can be seen in the case of the crocodile and the sea eagle.

Why is it that Chen Bei doesn't feel anything for other living beings, even though they are all living things?

Chen Bei attributed the problem to intelligence; he reasoned that the lack of response from the brains of chickens, ducks, and fish was due to these creatures' lack of intelligence.

Similarly, while some androids and robots like the three he encountered on the road did not react at all, his brain disease would flare up when faced with other androids.

Although it was just a headache and no white light appeared, there was definitely a reaction.

But why did he not react at all when he arrived in District 9, where there were so many androids and robots or androids working on the streets?

After identifying the differences, the cause can only be attributed to intelligence; the AI ​​and androids working on site were all acting according to instructions.

They work according to the instructions and passwords set by the user. This is why in the trading market of merchants like Qian Feng, only real people like Chen Bei can bargain, and most people sell at the indicated price.

As for why encountering living beings causes a white light, encountering androids causes a headache, but encountering humans causes no reaction, Chen Bei still does not know the reasons.

Moreover, Cao Chengxiu himself bought a cyborg prosthetic arm and went out without his real face. After doing so many amazing things, no one has arrested him yet.

Even a fool would know that he has a status, and a significant one at that. It can't be just any ordinary official position; it must be an extremely special one.

Chen Bei had already been highly suspicious until he entered the room and his brain disease flared up again, definitively confirming his suspicions.

"Put yourself in our shoes, Boss Cao. We need you, and I can do the things you can't do yourself."

"We both have reasons for not being able to reveal our identities, but I can set an example first."

Chen Bei observed the other party. He didn't have much evidence to show that the other party was a cyborg. The most conclusive evidence was his own brain disease.

But no matter how he explains it, no one will believe him!

We can only put ourselves in each other's shoes. Most long-term cooperation is based on mutual benefit, and the rest depends on whether each other dares to try cooperating.

Those who are timid and hesitant will never get to eat the first bite of meat.

"I am the revitalized person mentioned by the Upper District," Chen Bei slowly stated, his gaze never leaving Cao Chengxiu, constantly observing the other's reaction.

Drop drop drop.

Drop drop drop.

The five-minute timer has expired.

Cao Chengxiu remained silent for a moment, neither of them shooing the two away, but looked him up and down suspiciously.

"How can I be sure you're a resurrected person?"

Uh....

Now it was Chen Bei and Ye Zhixue's turn to be dumbfounded.

How can I be sure I am a resurrected person?

How can we be sure?

Normally, when it comes to confirming the reinstatement of someone, the Upper City District mobilizes a large force to arrest them based on intelligence, and then brings them back to the Upper City District for testing. As for how the testing is conducted, Chen Bei doesn't know.

However, there is no doubt that the testing in Shangcheng District is limited; otherwise, a city-wide screening would have been conducted long ago.

"How can I prove that? I can't go to the upper district to find the equipment to test it; wouldn't that be like walking into a trap?"

Chen Bei began to explain that, from Cao Chengxiu's perspective, this was indeed a very important issue, but he really had no way to prove himself.

It's impossible for him to walk into a trap for Cao Chengxiu.

"It's not that difficult," Cao Chengxiu said. "Since you're a survivor, that means you know about the cryo-chamber project, right?"

Seeing that Chen Bei and the other person nodded, he continued, "Since you know about the cryogenic chamber plan, you should also know about Operation Fireseed and some more detailed information about the cryogenic chamber plan."

"If you provide this information, I will naturally have a way to verify it."

"That won't do!" Before Chen Bei could speak, Ye Zhixue suddenly said, "If you're from the Upper City and try to extract information from us here, what will we do?"

Cao Chengxiu didn't fight with him. Instead, he turned around and took out a small pendant from beside the cabinet. It was a small moon pendant.

"A token of membership in the space program. I've met people from the space program, and they've told me a lot about it."

"Oh no, the space program has failed?"

Chen Bei was taken aback. Since Cao Chengxiu had met members of the space program, could it be that he was not an android, but a member of the space program?

There's no reason why the people in the upper city shouldn't arrest him; he's no different from the Fusu people!

"It wasn't exactly a failure, more like a partial success. I don't know the specifics, since I wasn't involved in the space program."

Cao Chengxiu waved his hand and said, "But I know just as much as anyone else. If you really are a reincarnated person, there are some things I can tell you."

"There were quite a few of these resurrected people in the Upper City, but they were all killed on the way back to the Upper City."

"We don't know who did it yet. It's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free, but based on my deduction, it should be other rehabilitated people who are afraid of their information being exposed, so they resorted to this tactic."

Cao Chengxiu stared at Chen Bei and slowly said, "This means that you Fusu people still have secrets, secrets that you can't let the Upper City know, right?"

Chen Bei didn't give a direct answer, but instead told him about the cold storage plan.

With the wisdom of a great power, how could it not have left a backup plan?

But whether this backup plan can balance the current situation is unknown. Moreover, this backup plan was discussed with all three members of the plan and was used to pressure them at the time.

It was at that time that Chen Bei hinted at something in the basement, but Ye Zhixue and the others remained silent.

"And what about the secret of checks and balances?"

Cao Chengxiu looked at him intently.

Chen Bei glanced at Ye Zhixue, who whispered, "The Earth's core."
