Unconventional security

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

Chen Bei's gaze sharpened. "Just who are you?"

Would an ordinary scientist know about this?

Chen Bei didn't think he had done anything particularly revealing. In the past three years, apart from the first few months when he needed to integrate, there was no way he could have made any mistakes.

For the first few months, I was in District 103. Where would I find scientists in District 103 at that critical juncture?

At that time, there were not many caravans or vehicles passing through the city, so no matter how much research these high-ranking scientists did, they could not find the 103rd district.

Miao Yun extended two fingers to push away the long knife held to her neck. "Others may not know you, but I know you very well."

"After all, I'm a scientist who retired from the Upper City. Do you remember visiting the Upper City three years ago?"

Chen Bei was slightly taken aback. He had used this resource after learning about the bounty notice.

Due to the time constraints and to prevent others from discovering the cryogenic chamber, Chen Bei could only act before he fully understood it. It must have been at that time that the flaw was discovered.

"It seems you've remembered," Miao Yun observed him and continued, "Although you disguised yourself well back then, there were still a few things that didn't seem right."

"Most people thought you were just an ordinary person who was too nervous to enter the Upper City for the first time. But I was the only one who kept an eye on you and used some methods to monitor you during that time."

"Your awareness is excellent. My detection dragonfly doesn't dare to approach you during the day; it only has a chance at night."

"At first, I would scan your body data from time to time. Later, you unlocked the second genetic lock and became the head of the police station. You have indeed given me a lot of surprises, the head of the resurrected police station."

Chen Bei's face was gloomy. Sure enough, he was the one who was replaced at that time. He had really had the worst luck in his life.

For three whole years, the biggest mistake I've made in my actions so far has been that one time, and that's when I got arrested.

The probability is no less than forgetting to turn off the volume button in front of Uncle Hat.

No wonder I've been experiencing brain-related symptoms at night; the bright spots and headaches are probably because I've noticed Miao Yun's monitoring dragonfly...

Chen Bei thought to himself, he had no idea that he would undergo a soul evolution process every night...

"Since you know I'm a survivor, why don't you report me to them? You should be able to get a good reward, right?"

Chen Bei stopped pointing the knife at her, but he didn't completely let his guard down, maintaining a position where he could easily swing the knife.

Miao Yun leaned back, propped her arms on the bed, and crossed one of her beautiful legs over the other, and said calmly.

"Why would we report you to them? So they can go to the Earth's core to conduct experiments and then rule the world?"

When the matter was brought up, Miao Yun was clearly disdainful. "I've been secretly helping you a lot over the past three years, you just didn't know it. Just now you even put a knife to my neck, which was very impolite."

Chen Bei remained unmoved; how could he possibly lower his guard based on just a few words from this woman?

"To be honest, you don't need to fight me to the death. I suppose you're here to get the virus chip because of Cao Chengxiu, right?"

"Although I stopped monitoring you a long time ago, the video of you entering Cao Chengxiu's shop has gone viral online."

"I advise you to give up. It's pointless. If he remains stubborn, his ultimate fate will be exile to a restricted area. As for those humans, they are short-sighted. Don't they understand now that AI androids are the ultimate rulers of the world?"

Chen Bei frowned. He looked back and wondered why no one had come to his aid, even after he had broken down the door and the other party had said so much to him.

At the entrance, Ye Zhixue stood not far away, watching. As soon as anyone made any unusual rescue attempt, she would stop them as quickly as possible.

"Stop looking, I didn't press the emergency call button."

Miao Yun continued, "I just want to have a good talk with you. After all, you resurrected people are really precious, like rare animals."

Chen Bei didn't particularly like the metaphor she used, but it was indeed apt.

Now, these rehabilitated individuals are highly sought after by both sides.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Chen Bei took a deep breath and re-examined the female scientist who was only in her thirties.

It is truly remarkable to achieve such scientific research results at the age of thirty; even by today's standards, he would be considered a prodigy.

"Let's change rooms. This room doesn't even have a door anymore. Let's go to your room." Miao Yun said, getting up and walking towards the door, not giving Chen Bei a chance to refuse.

Chen Bei had no choice but to change rooms with her. Although there was no chance of anything going wrong in his own room, Miao Yun was now in complete control.

After she sat back on the bed, she said, "I have three things to tell you. After I tell you these three things, I will give you the chip."

As she spoke, she took out a pink chip the size of a fingertip from the cleavage of her chest.

"The chip is genuine, no doubt about it. You can check it on the spot. If it's fake, I'll kill you anytime."

Miao Yun placed the chip on the bedside table, even pushing it to the side closest to Chen Bei.

Chen Bei looked at the chip; it was a little smaller than the fake chip he had obtained before, but otherwise there was no difference.

What could be the three things that would allow her to use this chip as collateral?

"Go ahead and say it."

Seeing that he agreed, Miao Yun also curled the corners of her lips and slowly said, "Do you know why I told you that only the first chip is the most important?"

"Virus chips are not like nuclear weapons, where having them makes you stronger and having them makes me stronger. They are more like a product of the commercial market."

"The first and most innovative product will dominate the market. Even if similar products appear later, customers will have already had time to adapt, and the effect will be greatly reduced."

Chen Bei quickly understood what the other party meant: no matter who gets their hands on the virus chip, it is only most effective when released for the first time.

Subsequent releases will create resistance, and some high-computing-power AIs will find ways to crack and resist it.

If Chen Bei brings it back to Cao Chengxiu, even if Miao Yun can use it for a few months to replicate another one, by then this version of the virus chip will have been cracked to an unknown extent.

No wonder all three parties are vying for this item; whoever gets it first is especially important.

"Is this your first thing?"

"Yes, that's the first one. Now I'll talk about the second one."

"The second point is about why the future belongs to AI androids."

Miao Yun straightened her posture slightly, only becoming more serious when the topic of AI androids came up.

"Humanity has now reached a genetic bottleneck. After the seven genetic locks, no one knows how to unlock the eighth one."

"Let alone the 8th level, even with the latest research and development in the upper urban area, the gene lock can only be opened up to 3 levels by injecting the drug. There is no visible advancement path after the 3rd level."

"How to unlock the gene locks is entirely up to each individual to figure out, and each person's plan only applies to themselves. The human body is mysterious, but it is also a kind of shackle."

"But AI androids are different. They only need sufficiently advanced energy and continuous computing power, so improvement is only a matter of time."

Miao Yun paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, a sufficiently advanced energy source is also a major hurdle, but if I were to say..."

"Could AI androids communicate on equal footing with creatures from restricted areas?"
