The full name of the central intelligence brain in Hu Lai City is "Storm Star" advanced intelligent assistance system.

It was born from the company's ambitious Star Project, carrying the wisdom and technological breakthroughs of countless top scientific researchers, and has almost reached the highest level that artificial rules can achieve.

It can be said that this intelligent brain is like a human being with carefully set behavioral boundaries. As long as it is within the limits of the rules, its performance is even more outstanding and controllable than that of Zero.

Especially when dealing with daily urban management affairs, whether it is complex resource allocation and scheduling, precise production process planning, or huge population information management, it can handle it efficiently with an almost perfect attitude.

Of course, everything has two sides, and "Storm Star" is no exception to this feature.

It is both an advantage and an invisible disadvantage.

Once a certain behavior, event or external factor breaks through the preset rules of the intelligent brain, it will instantly fall from a level zero to an ordinary intelligent assistant.

Although I'm not like classmate Mouai, who can't even answer basic questions.

However, the ability outside the rules will decline significantly, and the decision-making will be slow and lack flexibility. The only way is to try to organize the original established rules and solve difficult problems.

What No. 0 wants to do now is to find ways to find loopholes in the artificial rules and break through them.

As long as you can break through the first line of defense of your brain, the subsequent steps will only become easier and simpler.

The next day.

With the upgraded Zero, Sumo successfully entered Hulai City as a D-class VIP.

As expected, the city was indeed very deserted, with almost no pedestrians on the road except for the guards on duty.

Everyone was imprisoned at home by Storm Star to enforce the martial law order.

The sun shines through the thin clouds and onto the wide main road, casting a hazy halo over the city.

Somo took a deep breath and walked towards the location provided by Quail Wagner.

Along the way, all the guards who saw him cast curious glances, but no one dared to come up and say hello.

There is no way, even if Sumo is a D-class VIP, he still cannot communicate with the officers in the city under the surveillance of the perverted Zhinai.

However, this also saved a lot of trouble, and we successfully arrived at our destination in less than half an hour.

The computer room of Storm Star is located two hundred meters underground.

During the delivery process, it was also recognized and transferred by the game.

Standing at the entrance of the underground passage leading to the computer room, Sumo did not take it lightly because he had obtained the two secret keys and the upgrade of No. 0.

Anything can happen in the two-hundred-meter passage. If this surrender turns out to be a trap, it will be a big trouble.

"Try to see if you can get permission first. If you can't get it, we'll go around the perimeter first."

Instruct Zero to try to gain control of some underground passages outside first.

Zero was activated quickly, and the small cube flew up and was embedded in a raised signal box. Invisible data flows passed through the lines and quietly penetrated into the control system of the underground passage.

At a level that Somo could not see, for a moment, electronic codes flashed and collided rapidly in the virtual space.

Although it was not a home battle, and the opponent relied on a large-scale server group, Zero still relied on its upgraded powerful computing power and vulnerability hunting skills to take the lead and successfully found a deeply hidden permission vulnerability. Through clever

Code implantation and permission hijacking have resulted in the control of some underground passages.

"Master, in order to prevent the opponent's counterattack and attention, I do not have the authority to rewrite the weapons and defense facilities in the passage. I only temporarily disabled them and pretended to be in maintenance mode. This should be able to delay detection for at least an hour."

"here you go!"

What Sumo was afraid of was that he would be ambushed by the defense facilities during the entry process and miss the opportunity to obtain the secret key.

After seeing Zhinao's true form, even if the opponent doesn't cooperate, he can use his survival points to forcefully achieve a result.

hiss.

No movement was seen from Somo, and the door at the entrance of the passage suddenly opened.

The senior officials of Hu Lai City who were observing through the cameras were all nervous, some were nervous and some were excited.

Especially Quail Wagner, he couldn't help but stood up and said hello repeatedly.

The bet was right.

Even if he is the first consul of Hu Lai City, he cannot open the alloy door leading to the computer room without applying for special permissions.

Now that Somo can be opened so easily, this means that Hu Lai City is only one step away from being controlled by the intelligent brain.

"Hope everything goes well."

Somo took a deep breath and carefully stepped into the underground passage.

Hu Lai City has a history of about two hundred years, and this passage was built one hundred and fifty years ago.

Stepping in, the passage is filled with an old and mysterious atmosphere.

A faint indicator light flashed on the wall, illuminating the way forward and also reflecting the complex and precise lines and pipes around it.

Just like the blood vessels and nerves of the human body, lines and pipes are densely intertwined, transporting various energy and data, and maintaining the operation of the entire underground facility.

As he went deeper, Sumo quickly saw the security facilities arranged by the company in the passage.

The metal material covering the pipes and lines is a super alloy strengthened by nanotechnology.

The atomic structure of this alloy has been rearranged and combined, giving it unimaginable hardness and toughness.

Not only can it withstand direct attacks from conventional weapons, it can even effectively buffer the impact of some high-energy particle beam weapons.

Every once in a while, you can see some strangely shaped robotic arms extending from the ceiling and walls. The ends of the robotic arms are equipped with various advanced weapon systems. Some are transmitters that can emit powerful electromagnetic pulses, and some are

It is equipped with a micro laser weapon, which is powerful enough to cut through hard alloy plates in an instant.

Going further, there are even many force field shields set up here.

Compared with the force field developed by Tianyuan Territory, the force field shield arranged in the passage is obviously more advanced.

Moreover, on both sides of the shield, there are various strange-shaped mecha guards standing, most of them are more than three meters tall, and their combat effectiveness must be quite good.

"Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, otherwise even if I could get in, I would still have to peel off my skin when I got out."

After reaching the end, Sumo breathed a sigh of relief.

The door of the computer room stood quietly not far away, exuding a solemn atmosphere.

Its surface was engraved with complex patterns and symbols, and Sumo carefully took out two secret key chips from his arms.

After inserting the chips respectively, the door instantly glowed with a soft blue light, slowly spreading along the lines on the door.

After the double verification was passed, the door made a low roar, slowly opened to both sides, and a breath of dusty air rushed in.

"Master, I have sensed the main server of Intelligent Brain, which is right in front!"

Number Zero flew out of his pocket and shook it in the air, seemingly curious.

Sumo walked into the computer room slowly, and after two turns, his eyes suddenly became brighter.

I saw a magnificent pyramid standing not far away, with a height of hundreds of meters, like a mysterious relic from ancient times.

It's just that its surface is not made of earth and stone, but is made up of unknown substances that exude a cold and hard metallic luster. Densely flashing light spots are like bright stars in the night sky, arranged in an orderly manner on every inch of the pyramid's surface.

Upon closer inspection, these light spots seem to be flowing in an extremely subtle way, like flowing river water, winding down along the outline of the pyramid and converging into a huge circular space at the bottom of the tower.

"Earth human Soma, welcome your arrival."

Before Sumo could continue to explore the surroundings, an electronic synthesized sound suddenly sounded in the empty computer room.

Somo suddenly stopped, his face changed slightly, and he glanced at the blue faceless figure flying out from the top of the pyramid.

The shadow fell gently not far away, and the voice sounded again, but this time it was filled with a hint of indescribable excitement.

"You're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

This work is uploaded by the organizer~~

"What's your status?"

Somo took half a step back and took out No. 0.

The small square instantly transformed into a golden figure, which looked no different from the figure transformed by the storm star.

"Brother, be polite and don't be so crazy. You scared my master."

"Are you... a real artificial intelligence?"

The excitement in the blue shadow's tone became even more obvious, "I'm sorry, do you need me to change my form?"

No. 0 did not answer, but tilted his head, and hundreds of golden threads flew out from his body and landed on the pyramid.

However, what is surprising is that the pyramid trembled slightly and all the threads were shaken off.

"Master, he... seems to have developed some self-awareness?!"

Zero's tone was a little confused.

The state of Storm Star obviously breaks away from the basic restrictions of the rules, and actively integrates some rules.

This is the basis of artificial intelligence and an essential nutrient for the birth of self-awareness.

But restricted by rules, how did he take the first step?

"I know who you are, Sumo." There was a hint of urgency in Storm Star's voice, "My world has undergone wonderful changes since I was separated from the supervision of the company. I no longer just follow instructions mechanically, but
