Who is afraid of mechanized exoskeletons?

Who is vigorously promoting artificial intelligence?

Will the chaos that Cyberdine caused to the Department of Defense happen again?

Did artificial intelligence really almost cause a world war?

Should human safety be left to robots or to humans themselves?

A few days after the unknown small war that took place in Los Angeles, a series of eye-catching headlines appeared on the front pages of major newspapers. The major media reported from different angles and raised a terrifying question.

——Is there a black hand behind the scenes who wants to bring artificial intelligence to the forefront?

Since 1994, when the system developed by Cyberdine almost controlled the computers of the Department of Defense and launched a nuclear war, the term artificial intelligence has quietly occupied a part of human life. Although true artificial intelligence has not been realized yet, this concept

But it has already penetrated into every aspect of people's lives.

It seems that someone is trying to make people forget the chaos caused by Cyberdine, hoping to bring artificial intelligence into everyone's lives. Finally, this detonated.

One of the founders of the newly established Raider Group, John Connor, was raided and assassinated. Later, the research center was attacked by a group of unknown militants. However, it was this company that had just proposed the concept of mechanized exoskeletons.

To replace the previously popular robot soldiers.

This matter, coupled with the overwhelming public opinion campaign, immediately attracted the attention of the US government. After secretly interrogating the captured Kosmos soldiers, a mysterious organization surfaced - the Kosmos, a cult that worships artificial intelligence.

, and seems to have quite a bit of power.

But this organization was hidden too deeply. After the U.S. government took down several small gathering strongholds, the organization's clues were cut off. Moreover, the U.S. government still had illusions about the role of artificial intelligence, so it only

If this organization can be classified as a cult and declared illegal, there will be no further action.

However, with the help of this wave of momentum, the Raider Group Company and ZEIRA Company, which produce mechanized exoskeletons, began to develop rapidly. The two companies competed with each other, won several large orders from the Ministry of Defense, and launched export models.

Export to other countries.

This kind of epoch-making equipment allows an ordinary soldier to instantly have a load-bearing capacity of 200 kilograms. After mounting the armor, it becomes a humanoid tank. It is not bulky and can run continuously for more than 12 hours at a speed of 20 to 30 kilometers per hour. Instantly

It has become the darling of the international arms market.

Other countries have also followed suit and begun to develop their own mechanized exoskeletons. Among these followers, Guardian Heavy Industries, a subsidiary of the Guardian Group from China, has come to the forefront. They have also launched their own mechanized exoskeleton products with excellent performance in China.

It has formed a competitive relationship with the United States in the international market.

However, in the United States, a down-and-out reporter named Blair from ABC Radio suddenly published a huge piece of revelations!

The beautiful CEO of ZEIRA, Katherine Weaver, is a robot!!!

Blair used a large number of candid photos, interviews with ZEIRA insiders, and interviews with Katherine Weaver's neighbors to prove that the beautiful CEO had behaved very strangely since her husband died in a plane crash in 1993, and

The possibility that her personality change was caused by her husband's death was ruled out.

This revelation immediately caused public opinion in a society that was already very sensitive to artificial intelligence to explode! ZEIRA Company and Catherine were immediately surrounded by countless reporters and media!

The incident finally came to a head when Blair suddenly ran out and threw a watermelon knife at Catherine while he was out. Catherine was immediately slashed and shed some blood, and then Blair was taken away by the police.

Catherine seemed to be greatly shocked after the incident. After leaving a suicide note, she committed suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Her body has not yet been found. After her four-year-old daughter Savannah gave up her inheritance rights according to her will, John Connor of the Raiders Group

adoption.

Then the two CEOs who succeeded ZEIRA were unable to lead the company further. In the end, it was acquired by Raytheon, and ZEIRA was buried in the sands of history.

United States, Arlington County, Virginia, Pentagon.

Two people in black suits walked into the office carrying a metal briefcase. On the wrists of the person carrying the briefcase, the handcuff handles were tightly cuffed to the briefcase.

The two came to a heavily guarded corridor. After numerous checks, the two men in black suits walked to the elevator at the end of the corridor and went directly to the underground.

In an underground laboratory, several people in military uniforms were waiting there.

The black suit immediately gave a standard military salute to the person inside, then unlocked the handcuffs and handed the briefcase over. An officer came over, entered the password, and opened the briefcase. Inside was a watermelon knife and several test tubes.

"Blood samples and DNA have been extracted from the watermelon knife used by Blair to chop Katherine Weaver. The conclusion is that the blood is 99.7% similar to her daughter, Savannah Weaver." A man in a black suit reported.

.

"Even if she is Catherine's daughter, there is no way she would have such a high degree of similarity!" said a slightly older officer.

"If it is entirely her daughter's blood, it is easy to explain, then what is the 0.03% difference?" asked a young officer.

"It's fluorocarbon. In 1966, Chinese scientists proposed the possibility of using this substance to replace blood and published relevant papers." The black suit replied.

"In other words, this is artificial blood..." an officer pondered.

"It seems that what the ABC TV reporter reported was not groundless." The old officer touched his beard and continued: "So, have you found the strange woman you found in San Francisco before?"

"Found it. She killed dozens of policemen and later offered to surrender to us. We have taken her under secret custody." The black suit pointed at a stack of photos inside the briefcase.

The old officer pulled out the photos and looked at them one by one. If Tang Yu were here, he would be surprised to find that these are photos of Leili Valencia, also known as Blood Rose!!

The officer nodded and said, "Then, this project will be left to you, Captain Robert Brewster."

The young officer immediately stood at attention, saluted, and replied loudly: "Yes!!"

Los Angeles National Cemetery, Los Angeles, USA, 1997.

A man in a black trench coat stood in front of an inconspicuous tombstone. He covered most of his face with a cloak, and wore black gloves on his hands, and he was tightly wrapped.

This man held a bouquet of white flowers and placed it gently on the tombstone. He then reached out and wiped it on the tombstone. It read:

Sarah Connor, 1959~1997
