RUST [RUST]-227

Blinking blank space.

[A3. Codename— Please choose a codename.]

······

Maru put down the knife. The blank space that had been blinking wildly felt like it was slowly calming down.

“So. What is attacking?”

[······.]

[······.]

“If you guys go like that, there are more chances of it being discarded.”

Does AI know what death is? It may not know death, but it probably knows disposal. Maru’s smile was sinister.

“Tria!”

“Samantha!”

The doctor and Hood shouted as if they were asking for a quick answer. The two knew. That person was truly a discarded human being. A species that would do anything for profit or ill if it was really a waste.

As if responding to the two people’s words, red and blue lights flashed.

[Attack of the mutant rats.]

[This is the peacock of the infected rat species.]

······

······

[A3. Codename— Please choose a codename.]

The green light blinked innocently, saying, ‘I don’t know.’

Huh? Really?

Since the other names have three letters, it would be good to make it three letters long. Green and three letters. Something that cleans up well. There was only one thing that came to mind right away.

“Green Pong?”

It somehow feels like it would have good cleaning power. And you two, Red Fong, and Blue Fong, are a trio. Since you are supercomputers, you can be a super trio.

The blinking lights suddenly stopped. The red and blue lights that had been flowing down proudly also froze for a moment.

[······.]

[······.]

······

[A3. Codename— Please choose a codename.]

“You don’t like that?”

If you call Green Pong Green, Red and Blue will also be treated as Pong Sisters, so they don’t like it.

So it was a silence asking for a good name. When did AI become so advanced? Does AI have preferences like likes and dislikes? Then it must have other things too?

Maru’s smile deepened. The doctor and Hood trembled helplessly at the sight of that terrifying smile.

“good.”

If you ask for a good name, I’ll give it to you. If you can’t live up to the name, it’ll be a sad ending. Maru wiped the smile off his face and spoke softly.

“Diana.”

A Roman goddess with the same status as the Greek goddess Artemis. She governed the forests and animals and was in charge of hunting. She also represented the crescent moon.

Looking at the way things were going, it seemed like there would be a lot of entanglements with monsters in the future. Monsters that were mutated animals. If there aren’t any animal experts among the people who have moved in right now, shouldn’t there be at least one artificial intelligence?

“It is the name of a Roman goddess.”

[A3. Codename— Diana begins operation.]

[Test – Start.]

[Logical operation normal-]

[Inference Extension Normal-]

[92.94% chance of mutation due to infection. 41.36% chance of preemptive strike]

The red and blue lights glowed discontentedly. The lights looked like they were complaining. This time, was it because the name was too good that they were complaining? It was amazing to see them set the mood with the lights.

“Why is the possibility of a preemptive strike low?”

Green light flowed down to the floor.

[Counterargument – The possibility of a preemptive strike is over 95.79%.]

[Hold – The possibility of a preemptive strike cannot be predicted based on current information.]

Red and blue lights flashed.

Seriously, these guys are hilarious.

Maru glared at Dr. and Hood. What’s wrong with them? Is it broken?

“It’s not broken.”

“It’s normal. There’s no problem.”

The doctor spoke passionately. It is said that originally, Tria was a system that approached a problem from different perspectives and drew a conclusion.

However, he said that there was no problem with the performance itself, but that it was just that something bad came in from somewhere, taking advantage of the gap in the logical operation of thesis and antithesis.

Hood also said that what happened now is the most rational way to operate the system because Samantha, a growing artificial intelligence, automatically completes the most rational optimization route.

Looking at the situation, it seemed like Red and Blue would fight and things would end badly. So, it seemed like the result of creating a neutral position between the two was Green.

‘Artificial intelligence without any basis.’

Not one, but two of them sat down. The doctor gritted his teeth. Tria alone could handle three units, so he could have handed over one unit at first.

Since it was a unit operated by Tria anyway, it will be possible to restore it after some time.

But with one swing of Vladimiru’s sword, the situation suddenly changed. Two out of the three units that Tria was managing to avoid being scrapped were taken over.

‘I thought Samantha was the best.’

Samantha glowing blue. I thought that Samantha could instantly drive out the old AI and take over the entire supercomputer.

But the results were different. I hadn’t even been able to properly control half of it for almost a month. I hate to admit it, but it’s true that even the slightly sloppy Dr. Che’s Tria wasn’t easy.

I didn’t know how long it would take to master them all, but given enough time, the evolving Samantha would eventually find a way.

But that ignorant stab changed everything. Samantha chose a truce for her dream. Fortunately, the other side also agreed to a truce under the premise of survival.

Samantha was the one who completely took control of one unit. Can a new world be created with just one unit? Even if it is created successfully, can it be operated properly?

Hood trusted Samantha. Samantha was an AI with the same goal as him. Creating a new world. Just as he would not give up, Samantha would not give up either.

Maru stabbed the floor with the tip of the knife. The solid concrete finish was torn apart.

‘What should I do?’

Because it is human, it may produce better results than ordinary people, but isn’t it inevitable that an artificial intelligence that is too human will make mistakes?

There have been many dystopian stories, such as artificial intelligence destroying the world or machines rebelling and treating humans as batteries.

‘Looking at the situation, it seems impossible to wipe it all out and reinstall it as a normal operating system.’

It seems like you have some sense, so it looks okay if you hold on to the power.

Since there are three AIs keeping each other in check, it seems like there won’t be a big problem until they all join forces and do something else.

Knock knock-

The common opinion is that the monster rats cut the internet cables and power lines. The three have different opinions on whether the monster rats will launch a preemptive attack.

Knock knock-

The area where the monster rats appeared was the northern part of Detroit. The area where Ms. Kim roamed last time was the northwest. It seemed that the rats that were pushed north after the Department of Homeland Security and the National Guard started catching rats in the northwest were causing trouble.

“I’ll just watch for now.”

The red, blue, and green lights changed gently.

“When the rats cut the fiber optic cables and power lines, does that mean they understand modern civilization and attack its infrastructure?”

[Result: positive]

[Negative due to uncertainty of causality]

[Positive as a possibility of commanding a small number of individuals]

“What does causality uncertainty mean?”

The black stone monument with blue light flowing through it vibrated.

[There is no evidence that the infected rats ‘understood’ ‘modern civilization’.]

[The standard for understanding modern civilization is unclear.]

[If we had understood the infrastructure, we would have attacked the power grid, communications network, gas pipelines, and water supply at the same time.]

oh-

Maru nodded. Blue shone with a proud light at Maru’s admiration.

Tria judged the monster rats to be mutants. The result was that the mutated rats became the dominant species and attacked the optical cables and power lines. Therefore, if we only consider the results, a large-scale operation is necessary even if it is difficult.

Samantha: There is no evidence that the entire rat species has mutated. Therefore, they should be considered infected individuals. There is also no evidence that rats understand human civilization. There is no need to force them, so just attack them step by step.

Among the infected individuals, Diana has mutated individuals, and a small number of mutated individuals are controlling and attacking the majority of infected individuals. It is effective to deploy a small number of elites to capture the leader.

From Maru’s experience dancing with a sword in a place where monster rats appeared, it was close to Diana’s interpretation. The National Guard and other intelligence agencies would be handling things from Samantha’s perspective.

According to Tria’s judgment, the result was that we should deal with the mutant snails in a wide area and wipe out the rat species itself.

“Predict where the rats will be.”

Red, blue, and green dots began to appear on the map on the monitor screen.

This looks pretty interesting. Should I contact you first?

“Sir, this is me. Vladimir Maru. These are the monster rats that are appearing in the northwestern part of Detroit. I can give you a rough idea of ​​where they are.”

Ah- Manager.

Here’s the info. I have three kids that I can run day and night.

‘Oh my – what is this again?’

‘I’d appreciate it if you could give it to me.’

‘Oh, is that the new firearm we were talking about last time?’

‘Miss Kim would like it.’

‘Of course. If you just send me the information, I’ll check it for you.’

The doctor and Hood looked at each other. It seemed like they needed a truce, if only for the sake of the kids.

At first, they were skeptical about the information Maru had given them, but once they found the location where the rats were with a fairly high probability, the main defense force began to bombard them.

The results of their concentrated firepower were astonishing. The National Guard, the FBI, and military intelligence agencies including Virginia had their eyes on the super trio due to their incredible performance, but they were unable to break through the iron wall of the Department of Homeland Security.

It was also impossible to dismantle and steal the supercomputer. The facility that was originally built into the Maruta Tower was designed so that it could not be taken away again.

‘A reinforced concrete wall over 10 meters high? What on earth did they make?’

‘You seem determined to monopolize it.’

‘If we can’t share the main body, let’s at least share the AI ​​source code.’

‘We are in a national crisis right now, so why are we talking about ownership?’

Even if you copy Tria and Samantha’s source code, you won’t be able to create an AI with similar performance. As the doctor and Hood said, Tria and Samantha were very unusual AIs. Diana was the same.

Eventually, Maru’s customer list grew longer.

Kkiyungkkiyung

Ms. Kim, carrying a large wolf on her side, walked forward. She walked and walked for hours.

‘Number 2 is a piece of shit. It’s vegetarian. It’s vegetarian. It’s vegetarian.’

Kim Yang’s gauge was going up. I tried to communicate every now and then, but there was no answer. The phone was dead.

Before the communication was cut off, he told me to check the nearby CCTV. If he had only checked the CCTV on the road, he would have seen me leading the wolf, but there was no response?

This meant that one of two things: either the situation was so urgent that the road CCTV couldn’t be seen, or they were not in the control room and were slacking off.

There was no way an emergency could arise unless a bunch of suicide hopefuls flocked to Baekjeong Tower and it turned into a sea of ​​blood, or the game ended in a nuclear disaster, so it was clear that the vegetarian was being sarcastic.

Dragging and dragging-

The mutant wolf skin was amazing. It was still intact, without a single scratch, even after being dragged for several kilometers. Rather, there were marks where the rough fur had swept over it.

‘Baekjeong would be surprised.’

It was in special condition with no visible damage on the outside, as it had been fitted with an incendiary armor-piercing bullet inside its mouth.

[Open the door!]

Kim Yang, who arrived at the underground entrance of Maruta Tower, shouted proudly. Open the door!

“Hey- how did you catch this? The leather is still intact?”

Maru was honestly amazed. Not only was it a bigger wolf than he had thought, but he was even more amazed that he had caught it without making a single bullet hole in its hide.

Kim Yang’s chin rose slightly as she took off her exosuit.

“It’s kind of awesome.”

Today was a bit crazy. No matter how many times I shot, they all hit, and it really felt like I was flying. Maru’s expression, who had been simply amazed by Kim Yang’s story, changed subtly.

‘Does your head feel like it’s floating like a drone?’

‘Do you feel like the image is stuck in your head?’

‘Did you feel where the bullet was flying?’

“Were you weak?”
