Chapter 703 Believe and Let Go
Human hell?
Otto pondered, and thinking carefully as a human being, he realized that the area outside the black wall was indeed hell for humans.
They are filled with malice towards outsiders at all times, and as long as they find an opportunity, they will rush out without scruples and strengthen themselves.
Perhaps at a certain stage in their development, these AIs will gradually become rational.
But by that time, humans will probably have become extinct.
"Can I trust you?" Otto said this directly.
She was optimistic about Y and Wu Guang's plan to make Saburo Arasaka into a puppet, but at the same time, she was also very wary of this matter.
There is no one who is not afraid of no longer being himself.
Ott is no exception.
Even though she also mastered the so-called brainwashing method, she knew even more clearly how terrifying it was to watch herself gradually become no longer herself.
Wu Guang saw that the Ultra data stream began to flash rapidly, and it was obvious how much courage it took for her to say this.
He was even surprised that Otto would say such a thing. As a strong artificial intelligence, her number of calculations per second is stronger than any computer. As long as the computing power is increased and the probability is analyzed, she will most likely not choose the first option.
After all, the first one is unreserved trust. Although he and Y are the culprits who forced Saburo Arasaka to become Ultraman's digital soul, the two of them who solved Saburo Arasaka are not necessarily good people, right?
So what made Ott choose to say such a thing?
That is when Wu Guang was thinking about how to persuade and prove.
Otto spoke again: "I know you are confused. After all, I am also very conflicted now. Reason tells me that the second option is the best, but my emotional nature says that if I miss this opportunity, my remaining humanity and sensibility will disappear. In the future, I will only be a highly intelligent data soul with high computing power. Even if I can live forever, I will no longer be myself. The former Otto will die completely.
And I don’t want Otto to die.”
Seeing the human side of Ultra revealed, Wu Guang was stunned. In the original work, Ultra clearly gave Johnny a positive answer.
Otto was already dead, even long ago.
But it actually feels weird if you think about it.
If Otto was really dead, why did she come to see Johnny?
Moreover...the cooperation between Ultra and V is also very strange. Invading Arasaka and finding the network interface to insert the backdoor virus program made by Ultra is of course the inevitable result and process of the game.
But there are many people that Ultra can choose from, and a portable shrine is not necessarily necessary. Ultra also briefly introduced the current situation outside the black wall last time. As long as the AIs outside the black wall want to, breaking through the black wall is only a matter of time.
So Ultra did have reason to increase computing power at that time, but had no reason to attack the mikoshi. Even if she could tear a piece of flesh from the mikoshi, in the end she could only take away part of the digital soul. As for the increased computing power?
It is only temporary. Once Arasaka's people take over the mikoshi again, her extra computing power will disappear.
Although she could use the computing power of the divine carriage to open a small hole in the black wall for her to enter at any time, as long as the Internet Monitoring Bureau or other AI discovered it, the small hole would be enlarged or eliminated sooner or later.
Wu Guang's eyes flickered, and in the end he just gave a relatively reasonable answer.
"I can't give you any guarantees. After all, I can't give you enough trust, either verbally or with goods. But the only thing that can be proved is that we need a partner outside the black wall, and we will cooperate with this partner. Of course, you can also set a program when you make the biochip in the future, or you can find someone to watch it."
Wu Guang said and looked at Otto.
He is waiting.
Naturally, Ultra also knew that this was a transaction, an exchange of interests. Arasaka, or Y and Wu Guang, needed to suppress those outside the black wall, while she was the insider, which would increase the confidence of both parties.
It also gave Otto enough time to think.
After all, to be honest, if the other four people were given the choice of transforming from a digital soul into a human being, they would most likely not choose to accept it. Now everything they have outside the black wall is like the real power Arasaka or military technology.
It's a local giant.
If we have to let go of these things now, no matter whether we are human or not, or whether we are rational or not, we will not choose to let go. After all, it is very difficult to let go.
"Okay, I'm willing to believe you. At least you didn't kill Johnny and V directly, and you're different from Arasaka Saburo."
The main reason why Ultra is willing to believe Wu Guang is actually Johnny, V and Lark.
She also knew that Lark was taking over the computing power of the Black Wall. After all, every time Lark used the Black Wall protocol, the intelligent AIs outside the Black Wall would notice it.
Although the computing power used is pitifully small compared to the size of the black wall, in theory it will not cause any damage to the black wall.
But even if it's just a slight fluctuation, it's a signal to the AIs outside the wall.
Unfortunately, the lark died in the end.
Of course, Ultra finally found the lark. Although the lark's voice and appearance had changed, it is very difficult for a digital soul to change.
She found the lark, or rather, saw the lark appear in Lachi's territory.
This made her realize that the lark was still alive.
So she was willing to believe Arasaka, or rather, she was willing to believe Wu Guang and Y.
……
Time passed quietly.
The forces related to the Ye's Company in Night City were strongly suppressed and even expelled by Arasaka. In less than half a month, the Ye's Company was almost broken apart by Arasaka. Of course, it was only the Ye's Company in Night City. The Ye's companies in other continents or countries were not affected at all.
This made Laqi so angry that he cursed.
After all, everyone was suffering, so he could accept it. Why should his forces be the only ones to suffer a devastating disaster?
Even if he was the one who created this, it's too disgusting that Arasaka is targeting him. Moreover, other companies are making trouble for Arasaka, but don't you, Arasaka, take a look?
Why are you still targeting Ye’s Company?
That’s right, ever since Mr. Blue Eyes Lachi visited all the major companies, all the companies were skeptical at first, but seeing Arasaka madly targeting Ye’s Company, they also took tentative action.
However, Arasaka didn't care at all, and only slightly controlled public opinion, and didn't even have a decent counterattack, which made many companies confused.
To be honest, if Arasaka chooses to fight back head-on and use public opinion or business cooperation to exert pressure, they will be more convinced of what Ye's Company says. After all, fighting back means more information will leak out.
It can also be analyzed from the attitude of counterattack.
