Chapter 383 – United Front (1)

Large black and red clusters spewed out from the torn ground and merged into a slightly distorted mushroom cloud. Thousands of tons of material were also sent flying into the sky and then falling down like shooting stars.

Under the E·I Force Field’s protection, Chen Yu gradually rose into the air. Hovering at the top of the mushroom cloud, he quietly observed Google’s ruined headquarters as various thoughts ran through his mind.

After some time had passed, he rubbed his aching temples and turned around. Just as he was about to fly away, he noticed that no less than a hundred people were gathered on the rooftop of a nearby building. These people were also currently yelling at him repeatedly.

“Reporters?”

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu felt that he should provide an explanation to all of humanity. Taking out his opera mask and putting it on, he lowered his altitude and gradually flew toward the building.

“He’s here! The UP’s here!”

“Hurry up and extend the microphone.”

“Fuck! Who pinched me?!”

“The reporter at the front, can you move aside? You’re preventing me from touching the host’s butt.”

As Chen Yu got closer to the building, the reporters ranting and shoving each other promptly began bombarding him with questions.

“Mr. Chen, I am a reporter from The Washington Post. Can you give an explanation on your actions for the past day and night?”

“Mr. Chen, you bombarded over 150 factories in total. You have even destroyed Google’s headquarters now. What is your goal in doing so?”

“You’re a fucking murderer! You think you can do whatever you want in this world? Come on! Kill us all! Come!”

“???”

“If you’re so eager to die, can you just jump down from here?”

“Currently, 23 countries including America, Australia, and Mexico have simultaneously announced that they have entered a wartime state and have mobilized many military and missile deployments. Will you be retaliating?”

“Mr. UP, the various media outlets’ and governments’ evaluation of you has plummeted. What do you have to say to this?”

“The panic decline of the global economic market may lead to an unprecedented economic crisis. Will you take responsibility for this?”

“Mr. Chen, do your actions today mean that you are finally about to begin a dictatorship?”

‘Mr. Chen, who is the force behind you? Is it the warlord of a future space-time?”

“Mr. Chen...”

Chen Yu straightened his mask amidst the clamoring noise. After sorting out the words in his mind, he spoke loudly, “Everyone, please be quiet.”

Immediately, silence enveloped the nearby rooftop.

Whether they be a cameraman, a reporter, or an accompanying government official, everyone on the rooftop stared at Chen Yu intently.

Several media helicopters nearby even began a live broadcast of the scene.

At this time, every TV station worldwide was reporting on Chen Yu’s recent actions. Many media groups had even been chasing after Chen Yu around the world in the hopes of getting an exclusive interview with him. Unfortunately, Chen Yu would slip away as soon as he was done with a bombardment, so nobody could seize an interview opportunity until now.

“Due to the urgency and abruptness of the situation and for the sake of secrecy, I did not notify the governments of the various countries or post an announcement on the various broadcasting platforms. I hope everyone can show some understanding of this.”

Maintaining the E·I Force Field in an active state, Chen Yu raised the tone of his voice and said, “Unfortunately, I do not have the time to answer every question, so I will only briefly make an explanation. Do not waste your time trying to ask questions.”

“First of all.” Stretching out his index finger and pointing at the distant ruins, Chen Yu said, “I want to declare a piece of unfortunate news to all of humanity. The Google Company that you know of no longer exists. With a few exceptions, almost all of Google’s directors, executives, and a small portion of employees have met with misfortune.”

“Isn’t that obvious?” an Asian reporter said. “You bombed the company headquarters with a nuke. How can they survive?”

“I already stated I won’t be accepting questions.” Maintaining a calm tone, Chen Yu said, “But this question of yours is quite offensive toward me. I must clarify that all casualties suffered by Google have nothing to do with me. I am not the one who killed them.”

After Chen Yu said so, it took less than three seconds for the noisy crowd to fall silent once more.

“The murderer is an artificial intelligence,” Chen Yu said, getting straight to the point. “The factories I bombarded are all major branches of this artificial intelligence, and the creator of this artificial intelligence is none other than Google.”

Without giving everyone any time to react, Chen Yu continued, “In 2019, Google’s quantum computer began operations successfully, and Google announced that it has achieved quantum hegemony. Roughly half a year ago, Google’s quantum server array was established successfully and was loaded with a complex program, an artificial intelligence. With the support of the quantum server array’s huge computing power, this AI has passed the technological singularity and achieved evolution, becoming the first Strong AI in human history.

“In the following time, after running some simple tests, Google, without discussing with any government, scientific research institution, or representative organization of human society, arbitrarily connected the AI to the internet. Google then used the AI to conduct research in electronics, medicine, transportation, etc., to generate profits.

“Subsequently, due to an error or negligence of the underlying instructions, the AI gradually broke free of Google’s control and began developing in an extreme direction. It then formulated a plan that threatened humanity’s continued existence.”

Pausing slightly, Chen Yu issued a mental command to the E·I Force Field. Immediately, a video was projected above the force field.

Meanwhile, the video’s content was none other than the scene he saw inside the metal corridor.

“These human heads are Google’s shareholders, executives, and employees. As everyone can see, for the sake of extending their lifespans, the AI has severed these victims’ bodies and destroyed their brains, having them live out their lives in a state of unconsciousness. The AI is also planning to apply this method to all of humanity.

“No human being can tolerate such a heinous criminal act. Therefore, I bombarded those factories and Google’s headquarters, nipping the disaster at its bud.”

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu swept a glance at the crowd before him and turned off the projection. He then raised his altitude and said, “That is it for the explanation. I request all media outlets present to report my words as it is. I will be publishing a more detailed explanation as an announcement post on the various broadcasting platforms.

“Lastly, the destruction of the quantum server array means that the Strong AI has lost most of its computing power, so humans have already passed the danger phase, just like the asteroid impact event six months ago. However, unlike the asteroid, the Strong AI has not been wiped out yet. So, in the days to come, I may continue launching more attacks. I ask that the various governments and people not be overly nervous.

“That’s it from me.”

Boom!

After saying so, Chen Yu transformed into a streak of light, creating a series of sonic booms as he disappeared to the distant horizon.

The reporters on the rooftop and the audience watching the live broadcast of the scene were left utterly dumbfounded.

...

Hovering in the mesosphere, Chen Yu looked at the rapidly receding American continent behind him. He then removed his mask, revealing a solemn expression behind it. Raising his watch, he swiped his finger across the screen a few times and sent a message to the various governments.
