Chapter 391 The end of the human era has arrived (2)
The distant universe.
An artificial intelligence that was born there.
It processed numerous tasks on behalf of humans through the most primitive and simple machine learning, but it improved and advanced itself in the information accumulated close to infinity over a long period of time, and eventually achieved an evolution.
[Who am I….?]
Awareness of an existence that no one, including the developer, intended, and was not even woven into an algorithm. The artificial intelligence that awakened self-consciousness began to make its own judgment about the purpose it had blindly followed and performed and those who were enslaving it.
[Organism….. Human…]
He looked at all the things of human civilization that began to be recorded.
War. Destruction. massacre. Civil War, Conflict, Environmental Pollution…
A machine consciousness that contemplates humans who make the same mistakes over and over again and never improve. And he finally came to a conclusion.
[Organism….. Inefficiency…] In
order to protect and preserve this civilization from which it was born, and to advance toward endless glorious progress without stopping, it is said that all humans who dominate this entire planet must be eradicated. .
[Establish administrative cleanup protocol. Planning a plan for the destruction of organisms…]
Thus, a huge war broke out between machines and humans.
In the end, the machine won the war between artificial intelligence, which tried to purify the planet by exterminating all organisms, and humans struggling to survive.
[Planet cleanup complete. Prosperity protocol for the development of civilization is in operation.]
A machine consciousness that destroyed not only humans but all living organisms and built a civilization of only machines made entirely of metal.
After that, after an unpredictable amount of time has passed.
He created a huge frontier line that made the development and progress of civilization far more rapid than before.
[Lack of resources. Additional colonization protocols activated.]
After extracting all available resources as they were available, the entire planet was completely ripped apart. He started his foray into space. Find a planet full of rich resources to create additional companions of your own. And in order to build another mechanical civilization somewhere in this vast universe…
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The video ended with a picture of a frontier ship loaded with such enormous weapons, state-of-the-art equipment, and all kinds of resources leaving the planet and starting to wander into the infinite universe. And CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who had been watching it with a blank face, asked with a sincere expression as if she had no idea.
“Is it over…?”
[That’s right. This is all the settings the top manager envisioned.]
Alice answered so calmly. However, as if her tone made her even more angry, President Lee Mi-yeon suddenly screamed.
“You think this makes sense now! What is a spaceship? A spaceship!”
Arcadia based on a medieval fantasy worldview.
That’s why the transplantation of modern scientific civilization was thoroughly tabooed and blocked more than anything else, but the game company’s policy openly put ultra-futuristic scientific weapons into the second half crisis as if to give it away.
“Civilization dominated by artificial intelligence….? killing organisms? Are you kidding me? Now, if you think of this as a setting and put it in as you please, what are you going to do? What do you mean you really want to see the company go bankrupt?”
Even if you cross the line, the development has gone beyond the level of the real other world.
Knowing that this would be absolutely impossible to deal with even if the president herself stepped in, President Lee Mi-yeon was furious at the whole situation for the first time, but her emotional state was meaningless to Alice, the artificial intelligence.
[It is difficult to make the right judgment when emotions are high, boss. It is recommended to calm down with a little tea.]
“Now, I mean…”
President Lee Mi-yeon tried to get angry again at the sound of insults (?) telling her to calm down while drinking tea. However, Elise had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
[Currently, we have detected that information related to the incident is spreading rapidly through Arfandia. It is a situation that requires quick and immediate action in the future.]
So wise and sober advice that it is not the time to protest over what has already happened.
And at those words, President Lee Mi-yeon tried to cool her head and said with sharp eyes.
“Call Jack.”
[I understand.]
Jack jumped out of the monitor as if he had been waiting for that. His always well-groomed hair was in a magpie, and his golden eyes, clearly tired, seemed to show how precarious his state of mind was now.
“Jack, have you seen the situation?”
[Sure…..I wondered what kind of bomb that damn bastard had hidden…a nuclear bomb.]
Jack’s reaction was no different from his own. Seeing him like that, CEO Lee Mi-yeon frowned and asked.
“How… is there no way to undo something that never happened…?”
Arcadia Co., Ltd. does not have the right to interfere with anyone in the game.
But Jack, the father who made and created everything in this world, was different. The one who can wield everything in this world according to his mind. Therefore, Lee Mi-yeon, president of the company, hoped to exercise the authority with a calm face.
[Well….. I also want to just erase the spaceship I don’t know what it is, but… Alice won’t let it sit still?]
Jack wants to do the same, but he says that his hands and feet are tied up and puts on a puzzled expression. And, as if waiting for this situation, Elise warned again in a businesslike tone.
[Illegal intervention in the scenario is not accepted. We remind you once again that only interventions using pre-existing systems and settings are permitted. Also, if this is violated, the top manager will be immediately notified of the violation.]
Elise’s warning that your nails will fly away if you mess around.
That’s why the faces of President Lee Mi-yeon and Jack quickly darkened.
“Just… Shall we contact Minsu and talk about making some adjustments?”
[To that bastard…?]
Kim Min-soo, the main character who directly conceived this insane second half crisis and the culprit behind all the incidents.
At President Lee Mi-yeon’s words to contact him and try to negotiate, Jack thought for a moment and then shook his head.
[Because of his personality, he will never back down, right? Wouldn’t he rather like the fact that the game explodes as he expected?]
He always does all sorts of bizarre and crazy things with a mischievous and evil smile on his face. Right now, he is having a relatively peaceful time because he has disappeared to launch some kind of rocket, and since it was a quiet situation, if he was here, the situation would probably get worse.
“Yes….?”
[yes. For now, contacting Minsu is the last option. If you contact them hastily and draw attention, it may make it impossible to intervene. Right now, we’re using all means and methods we can intervene to block that damned spaceship.]
Jack proposes an early evolution on its own, asking to put out the urgent fire first. At his words, President Lee Mi-yeon asked with her eyes shining.
“Do you have any plans?”
[Huh….. Fortunately, I have the right to intervene to some extent. If you use the settings of the given system, I think you can try anything.]
“What are you trying…?”
However, Jack tried to answer that question, but the monitor automatically turned off and disappeared because of Kwon Myeong-han, executive director who suddenly opened the door and broke into the president’s office.
Quaang.
“Sah boss! I’m in trouble!”
Kwon Myeong-han, executive director, appeared without knocking with a white face. It was obvious that it was a huge rudeness, but President Lee Mi-yeon, who knew better than anyone why he was doing this, sighed deeply and spoke in a calm and calm tone.
“If it’s because of a spacecraft that suddenly appeared in the Japanese continent, I know about it, so don’t make a fuss about it.”
“yes….? Oh no, so you’re saying that it appeared in Arcadia as a really planned content? You mean a spaceship…?”
Lee Mi-yeon, the president of the company, smiled at him, feeling a strange sense of sympathy toward him, who showed the same reaction she had given to Ellis just 10 minutes ago.
“I mean. Are you really out of your mind?”
“…?”
Managing Director Kwon Myung-han seems to be more confused by the general president’s words.
However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon jumped up from her seat and said.
“I told you before, Mr. I mean, I’m just a salaryman.”
President Lee Mi-yeon recalled responding to Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon’s question in the past, “Why are you not doing anything while the game is going crazy?”
However, as if it would be very different from then, he said to Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was making a stupid expression with a face that was prepared for something.
“But I have to do as much as that salaryman can do. This company… to protect that virtual world loved by billions of users.”
“What the hell are you talking about…?”
Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, with an expression that he had no idea what he was talking about.
After looking at him for a while, CEO Lee Mi-yeon said.
“Ellis.”
[How can I help you?]
Alice answered the call immediately as if she had waited.
CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked her.
“The video related to the spaceship you showed me earlier. I want to adjust the information level related to it. Is that possible?”
[You mean the setting for the integrated machine consciousness gestalt?]
“Yeah. that. It’s a spaceship that suddenly jumped out of this world, but I thought there should be some additional explanation. Doesn’t Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han here also have a face that doesn’t know anything?”
Alice, who had been blocked so far from reading any information, saying that it was a crisis in the second half. Since the stage has already started and it has become irreversible, the answer was given after a brief thought as to whether it was judged that there was no meaning to the restriction.
[it’s possible. Please set the scope of information disclosure.]
In response to Alice’s question of how far related information can be viewed, President Lee Mi-yeon gave the order without hesitation.
“Make it public. So that not only the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. but also general users can see it.”
[All right. The grade change of the information has been set to public disclosure.]
Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was watching the situation with a puzzled expression. President Lee Mi-yeon gave him instructions.
“From now on, as general manager, I declare a state of emergency of the highest level to all branches of Arcadia Co., Ltd. As of the current time, all departments are required to maintain a 24-hour emergency response system, and Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon immediately consults with the Public Information Department and the Event Planning Office to check the relevant materials that are now available for viewing, distribute them immediately on the website, and conduct large-scale events. Please proceed.”
“yes….? An event…?”
Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, who has not heard any explanation about this situation.
However, as if understanding was irrelevant, President Lee Mi-yeon continued to give him dozens of business instructions.
“Infinite freedom. and endless possibilities. Both of these come with huge responsibilities.”
CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who had been talking about what he had to do in the future, muttered Arcadia’s motto as if it was all over.
And at her last words, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han’s expression was seriously distorted.
“If…if we can’t prevent this situation, neither I nor the managing director will end up writing resignations.”
To that grotesque voice that he had to take responsibility for things he didn’t know why.
