Chapter 1563 I'm Here

In the early morning, a bright silver flight landed at Jinling Airport.

Walking out of the terminal with Ling, Lu Zhou showed Ling's ID to the security inspector at the exit, and then took it through the inspection.

Although the crisis of the Alpha virus has been resolved, the investigation of the awakened has not been slack. Before the specific legal documents are issued, the flesh and blood dominated by the chip and the unregistered AI individuals who have awakened human emotions are still in Pan-Asian cooperation. is an illegal existence.

After all, the rebellion in Guanghan City left a deep impression on people's hearts.

This scar caused by the war, without the baptism of time, is difficult to be simply erased.

However, for the future, Lu Zhou still has hope in his heart.

In a recent meeting, the Pan-Asian Cooperation Congress has been discussing amendments to the Artificial Intelligence Act, how to define the intelligence standards of artificial intelligence, and assigning different levels of social status and rights to artificial intelligence with different intelligence standards.

The development of artificial intelligence is the same as the continuous progress of this society. If it is not a major change, this positive correlation trend is almost unchangeable.

Even if not today, someday in the future, as long as human beings still rely on intelligent programs, then awakened intelligence will definitely appear.

However, Lu Zhou didn't think this was a bad thing.

As long as the emotions injected into the awakening program are love and peace instead of hatred and killing, then the future of human beings and AI must be harmonious and beautiful.

From the body of the tail, he has seen hope.

Seeds are sprouting...

When leaving the terminal, Lu Zhou suddenly received a call from Captain Xing, and followed his call to find his car in the parking lot.

"I didn't expect you to pick me up at the airport."

Sitting in the back row of the driver's seat, Lu Zhou casually greeted Captain Xing, and nodded to the new driver with a smile.

He still remembered that when he was in the sidecar last time, the detective who drove the car was named Shi Jin.

No one expected that the loyal Detective Shi was actually an undercover agent lurking in the Security Bureau.

Xing Bian: "Because I still owe you a thank you...and an apology."

"There's no need to apologize," Lu Zhou said casually, looking at the passing street scene outside the car window, "This is something that no one could have predicted, including me."

Xing Bian: "Speaking of which, what are you doing in North America these days?"

Lu Zhou said with a relaxed tone, "I went back and looked at my former residence, went to visit my teacher's grave, and by the way looked through the previous notes... and then there is no more, what about you? Seeing that you are so idle, Is the task force disbanded?"

"Disband? Leisure? I hope," Xing Bian twitched his lips and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Although the mastermind behind Guanghan City has been identified, after investigating David Lawrence, we found that he and the spirit of the universe The Foundation has nothing to do with it."

The contest between the Security Bureau and the Foundation has just begun, and it is still too early for people like them to say it lightly.

"Yeah."

Glancing at Lu Zhou, Xing Bian said with some surprise.

"You don't seem surprised?"

Lu Zhou: "It's not surprising, because the two have different ideas. I would be surprised if they were in the same group."

Judging from Morinaga Moto's confession, the idea of ​​those foundations is to spread the belief in the spirit of the universe by creating chaos, and to establish a unified modern theocracy covering the entire solar system.

And those awakened ones, and the pioneers who control the awakened ones, have the idea of ​​replacing human beings as the masters of this solar system.

In this sense, in this intelligence crisis, the Foundation is also the party being used.

They didn't realize that the source code of the Alpha virus they got from the space pirates in the asteroid belt was actually deliberately sold to them by David Lawrence. When the number of infections reached an order of magnitude, these viruses would no longer be affected. their domination.

It is also true that when they spread the Alpha virus on the black market like hardworking bees, those awakened ones have unknowingly picked up the fruits of their victory.

If it weren't for Morinagamoto's subjugation and the military action on Ceres that disrupted the arrangements of the two parties, this intelligence crisis may have to wait another twenty years to erupt.

But by then, I'm afraid it will be too late...

Lu Zhou: "In other words, your task force will continue to exist?"

"That's right, but we've been upgraded from a task force to the 'Universal Spirit Foundation Countermeasures Division'."

The leader of the task force was promoted to the head of the Countermeasures Section. Although Lu Zhou didn't know much about the organizational structure of the security department in the 22nd century, the level of the section chief should be higher than that of the team leader, right?

"Congratulations on your promotion."

"Let's not talk about getting promoted, but I feel that there are more and more troubles," Xing Bian sighed softly as he said, "If this land can be peaceful forever, I would like to be a small cadre for the rest of my life. Just sit in position and wait to die."

However, this is obviously impossible.

Pan-Asian cooperation is the most powerful regional alliance in the world. Under this almost infinite glory, there must be undercurrents.

Their future jobs will only get busier and busier, and there will never be a day of leisure.

Lu Zhou joked, "I've even experienced such a big storm as the bionic rebellion, so you still worry about this little trouble?"

Captain Xing froze for a moment, then said with a hearty smile.

"makes sense."

...

Flying all the way along the maglev highway, the car quickly drove to the gate of the villa in the suburbs.

Euphemistically rejected Lu Zhou's invitation to stay for dinner, and Xing Bian didn't stay here any longer because he still had things to do. After saying goodbye to Lu Zhou, he ordered his driver to drive away.

Just before the access control system, the fence gate at the gate of the courtyard immediately opened.

Like a gust of wind, a petite figure rushed into his arms.

"Master! QAQ"

After catching Xiao Ai who was flying over, Lu Zhou pampered the fake hair on her head as if he was loving and caressing his own pet.

"I'm back, I kept you waiting."

Xiao Ai: "Xiao Ai is really, really worried, the master disappeared for another century, can you promise Xiao Ai? Next time, can you not travel so far away. QAQ"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhou answered with a smile.

"Not going far away...I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. After all, I've already decided where I'm going. However, next time, if I plan to go to a place that is far, far away, I promise I will take you with me."

"We won't be apart for that long."

Xiao Ai: "Really?! That's allowed! ()"

Looking at Xiao Ai with a happy face, Lu Zhou couldn't help complaining in his heart.

This guy……

Is there any misunderstanding about the definition of the word master?

Or who is the master after all?

Looking at the tail that also came out of the door to meet him, Lu Zhou thought for a while before speaking.

"What about you? What are you going to do?"

"I... actually haven't thought about it too much," Hearing Lu Zhou's sudden words, he couldn't help but froze slightly, and said with some hesitation, "I want to raise Lili, but... I am a Android, when she realizes how her parents died, I'm afraid—”

Lu Zhou: "You think of her as family."

Tail froze slightly, then nodded slightly.

"Um."

"Then please keep this feeling in mind and never forget it."

Staring at the bionic man in front of him seriously, Lu Zhou said this in a serious tone.

Seeing Tail's gradually serious expression, he suddenly smiled, put on a relaxed tone, and continued.

"Actually, before this, I planned to give Lili to my junior to be raised, but during this period of time I thought about it carefully, and finally changed my mind. Although my junior is indeed a gentle child, But this kind of thing is really more suitable for you to do."

The expression on Tail's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said hesitantly, "Me? But... if she is with you, she will have a brighter future."

"Have you been able to think about this kind of realistic problem? It really impressed me."

A smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face, and he continued.

"But you may have misunderstood one thing. What kind of future is considered bright and beautiful must be determined by herself. I think she must be more willing to be with you—her The only family in this world together."

"As for the things in life, don't worry, I will give you a settling allowance as a reward for saving the world. Take this money and start a new life in a place where no one knows you, I believe you will be able to do it."

Tail shook his head slightly and said.

"My concern is not about money...but that my current status itself is not legal."

"Are you talking about identity? Don't worry about identity matters. Pan-Asia cooperation will soon give you... and all those awakened people with good intentions a legal identity."

"It's too difficult..." His face was full of shame, his tail slowly lowered his head, "After all, my compatriots did those things in Guanghan City."

"It's not difficult. It is our fine tradition to be inclusive of all rivers. As long as you can prove your benefits to this society... I believe it will not be difficult for you."

Having said that, Lu Zhou gave her a confident smile and continued.

"Besides, I'm here."
