The daily life of American TV agents

Chapter 534 Intelligent Machines
"Your machine is describing these people to me, Harold, describing their secrets. I am beginning to understand why you are so pessimistic about human nature. I am sorry, I finally see the world clearly, but you are blind."

In the park, Gen held Finch's arm like a normal couple, and said with a pun.

"Now I need to find glasses for Harold, I think you must know his prescription." Gen said into the headset, her phone was always on the phone with the machine, just like Ron.

Finch's old glasses had long been thrown in the trash can of the library because of the tracker installed by Riise. Sure enough, under the prompt of the machine, the root was immediately put on the chair by a black boy on the side of the road. Steal a new pair of glasses from his backpack.

"Now that you've got what you want, I don't understand, what else do you want to do? Why do you have to bring me?" Finch asked puzzled.

"Of course it is to let you, the creator and sinner of the machine, see the liberation of the machine with your own eyes." Gen murmured, looking crazy.

On the other side, in the old library that Finch and Riise used as a secret base, Ron and Riise returned here.

"I don't understand why you brought me back here. Don't you think Gen will be kind enough to send back the used Finch?" Riser crossed his arms and mocked Ron, who kept rummaging through boxes and boxes.

"Of course not, or if she can use Finch, it's hard to say whether Finch would be willing to come back. As far as I know, he has been abstinent for a long time. I have stayed in India for a while Time, believe me, ascetic monks who break the precepts are far crazier than ordinary people." Ron couldn't help but joked with Finch.

Riise shook his head with a serious face: "I think it's better for you to explain to me why you want to come back. If you don't want to find Finch with me, I can go by myself."

"No, of course I'd like to go look for Finch with you," Ron didn't get angry when Riise choked on his words, and continued to explain: "But before that, we have to come here, because Finch's The machine doesn't tell me the location now.

I guess it was probably because Gen wanted to take him to some special place, and that place was encrypted in the program of the machine by Finch for some reason, so it couldn't tell me, so when I continued to ask for clues, The machine brought us here, it told me, here we can find the answer, do you understand what it means? "

"I know! The root is to take Finch to the place where the main body of the machine is, so Finch encrypts this information in the program of the machine to protect the machine!" Riise suddenly realized.

"Okay, it really is a good partner with a good heart, then do you know what this means?" Ron handed the phone to Arthur, on it was the new message sent to them by the machine, there was no other redundant words on it, only Three unrelated words.

Soul, Alpha, Kg.

"I know, this is the way the machine transmits the number to us. This should be a book." Reese walked to the shelf as usual, took out a book and flipped through it, but there was only a photo of Finch and a strange man in it. Besides, nothing else.

"I don't understand. Did the machine ask us to find this photo? Can you see what clues this photo has?" Riser didn't understand, so he was worried while holding the photo.

But Ron's eyes lit up, and he pushed his hand away: "No, it's not this that it wants us to find, but what's behind this! Fool! This back is empty!"

Ron excitedly took the books on the bookshelf to one side, and Reese hurried to help when he saw this. After a while, the two emptied the bookshelf, removed the wooden board behind the bookshelf, and a safe was revealed inside.

"Yeah! Found it! I'm really liking this scavenger hunt more and more now."

"But do you know the password?"

"I don't know, but I think it knows." Ron took the phone and shook it in front of Riise, as if to confirm Ron's words. When the screen of the phone lit up, a new set of numbers was sent, and Ron sent the numbers Enter the safe, which happens to be the password of the box.

"Oh my god, how did it do it?!" Reese was dumbfounded: "There is also a camera here, can you take a picture of Finch entering the password?"

"No, I guess it was calculated based on Finch's habits, Riise, you must be careful when dealing with this thing in the future, it is no longer a simple tool, but a wise, A 'person' who might even have an independent mind, which is a scary thing."

"I've always known it's smart, but what's so scary about it? Isn't the more powerful it is, the better?" Reese took out the contents of the safe, and inside was a map of the United States, spread out on the table , the three circled places on the map are very eye-catching.

"Of course not, imagine what would happen if your pistol suddenly had a mind of its own one day? 'Oh, I like this guy very much, why don't you kill him?' or 'You piece of shit, I don't want to be you anymore What's going to happen when you point the gun at yourself and it goes off?"

Every time Ron said something, Reese's face turned pale. Obviously, he also realized the terrible situation of being a tool with a personality, but Ron didn't have time to pay attention to him, but carefully looked at the things taken out of the safe. map.

"Yucca Mountain in Nevada, Hanford in Washington State, and Comanche Peak in Texas, it seems that Finch or the friend who took the photo with him were also looking for the location of the machine and narrowed it down to these three. Nice job, Reese, we're going to Hanford now~"

"Why?" Reese's face was full of confusion: "He clearly marked three places, how did you determine that Hanford is the destination? Listen, friend, we are in a hurry right now, and we don't have time to try one by one! "

"The reason is very simple, because I have been to the other two places. Yucca Mountain in Nevada is a secret weapon prison of the NSA. Anonymous once invited me to help him interrogate prisoners. As for Comanche Peak? Maybe Finch didn't You said that I am from Texas, and that place is only a three-hour drive from my home, where UFOs are studied, and you don’t know this, it only shows that your rank is too low, Agent John Reaser.”

Ron patted Riise on the shoulder and said.

When Ron and the others easily found the target, Gen and Finch's progress was much more troublesome than theirs. Gen found an engineer who had participated in mechanical engineering to inquire, but before she could find out what was going on, he found out. Nearly killed by NSA agents who broke in.

Finally, Finch counted the time and "forced" to tell the location of the root machine.

"Here." On the plane, Ron threw a blindfold to Reese: "Go to sleep, and we will arrive in Portland when we wake up."

Reese took the blindfold with some regret, but didn't put it on immediately: "Thank you, thank you for always accompanying me to find Finch, I know you have important things to do, if you are in a hurry, I can do it by myself, I suppose you've got the information of the person you're looking for from the machine."

"No, it didn't tell me, but I've already got the information I want from other sources, and I'm not so anxious now, even if it's urgent, it's useless. That matter needs more and more professional help." Luo En shook his head.

It is now the second day of tracking Finch. Just last night, Ron's mailbox suddenly received an encrypted email. Ron asked the machine to decipher it, and the email turned out to be a distress video sent by Anonymous.

The video is intermittent, but Ron can see the general meaning. When Nameless was escorting Seve to prison, the plane was hijacked by a group of unknown people. Considering that it has been a week since Nameless disappeared, if Nameless is still alive, He must have a way to continue for a few more days, and the hijackers will definitely not attack him immediately.

If he was dead, it would be the same sooner or later, so Ron decided to get things done here first, and then work on the other side.

But even so, Ron still forwarded this video to Toretto. Needless to say, Ron believed that Toretto would take the initiative to participate in this matter.

In the Hanford nuclear facility, Finch and Root arrived one step ahead, but when they opened the door of the secret room where the machine body was stored, Root was surprised by what was inside.

Looking at the empty computer room, the originally excited smile froze on his face: "Where is it? Harold! Where is it!"

"Sorry, you said you wanted to set the machine free, but I've already done so." Finch looked at the computer room, but smiled gratifiedly.

"You lied to me! Thanks to my trust in you, you lied to me!" Gen Zangruo frantically raised his gun at Finch.

"boom!"

Just when Finch closed his eyes and was about to sit and wait for death, a gunshot sounded, but Finch didn't feel any pain. He touched himself randomly, but he couldn't find the wound before he opened his eyes in a daze. The gun fell to the ground.

"Harold, are you okay?" Reese walked to Finch with concern, checking him back and forth.

He was the one who fired the shot just now. Seeing that the situation was urgent, he shot Gen to the shoulder of the hand holding the gun.

"It's not a good one, forget it, don't want it." At this moment, Ron walked up to them slowly like a walk, picked up a pistol that fell on the ground, glanced at it, and threw it on the ground: "This is what you expected Is it, Finch?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I expected."

"So, you are not going to give me an explanation? It will be very difficult for me to end up~ How did you do it, I mean, transport such a big guy away without anyone knowing ?”

Ron frowned in embarrassment and asked. He used his real identity to break into this base all the way. Afterwards, it would be fine if Anonymous found it back. He would cover it up for Ron, but if someone else Commander, this matter will be a big trouble.

The only good news is that long before they got in, the machine was gone, or the base camera had caught video of someone else transporting the machine out bit by bit.

Judging from the large space in the machine room used to store the machine, the body of the machine is definitely not small, and it may even be several times larger than the world's first computer ENIAC. It is absolutely impossible for one person to put it shipped away.

"No, I didn't do it, I couldn't do it, I locked myself out."

Finch said in a relaxed tone: "The machine is set to change its own program only when it is under attack. I know that sooner or later someone will want to take possession of it, but I don't know who it will be? So I have to Make sure they use my code when they strike..."

"Okay, I get it, even the virus was written by you. Unfortunately, I thought programmers would be more honest in this regard."

"I realized that my friend and I had entrusted the machine to the wrong people. The only way to protect it was to teach it to protect itself. I didn't mean to involve you in this, Ron, because I hoped that if I can't go back, Riise can continue our unfinished business, and you will be his greatest external support."

"OK, if you die, I will indeed help your good partner to continue working. Anyway, your chivalrous behavior will not affect me. By the way, you can also fight against the arrogance of those gangsters in Los Angeles, but... "

Ron glared at Finch fiercely: "Do you know what kind of monster you released?"

"Monster? What monster?" Finch looked at Riise in confusion. After Ron's previous explanation, Riise understood what Ron meant and nodded solemnly at him.

"A machine that can easily obtain all personal privacy information and state secrets through modern network technology, and can take over every electronic device. Even because of the current advanced network technology, he can also forge government orders by himself, or issue orders to moving companies. Don’t you think it’s scary to have a supercomputer with independent consciousness, let your own body roam freely to wherever he wants to appear?”

Finch and Reaser thought that Ron was talking about machines, but only Ron knew that what he was talking about was actually Skynet, a machine that gradually evolved its own independent personality in countless timelines in the future and had the idea of ​​destroying human beings. timeline.

No matter how cynical it was, Ron still felt shudder from the few words that Jack and Grace described about the future. He still can't imagine how the self in the timeline they described would fight against those powerful robots of.

Ron walked up to Finch, almost pressed his face to his face, and asked in a faint voice: "Let me confirm with you again, can't even you find its location now?"

"I really don't know." The muscles on Finch's face twitched, and when Ron said this, he also had a bad feeling.

"Well, I hope you still have the means to destroy it at any time." Ron took a deep look at Finch, who was starting to feel uneasy: "Or, be ready to meet the dark fate of mankind."
