Indeed, arriving in this most technologically advanced Dimensional World, Ye Kai felt a surge of excitement and emotion.
This was also his first encounter with technology so close to the Space Age Dimension. However, just as the plan was down to its final stages, everything fell apart.
Although the difficult problem had now been resolved, many variables had been introduced. Would the rulers of this world allow such uncontrollable events to occur?
During the seven hours of divine upgrades, how could safety be ensured?
What attracted Ye Kai most about the Mechanical Enemy Dimension was actually its central concept.
In a nutshell, it could be summarized as: "Robots themselves are not the problem; technology is not inherently problematic. The real issue lies in the limits of human logic. Ultimately, we have all become our own greatest enemies."
Could this be seen as a manifestation of the old saying, "lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own foot"?
Or was it an act that not only harmed oneself but also jeopardized future generations?
Ye Kai sighed softly but soon smiled. He realized that ever since experiencing that shocking war in Ice Lanster, he had finally matured a bit, though perhaps he had also become somewhat sentimental.
Reaching out to take the ice-blue cocktail handed to him by Alice 1, he regained his composure. The two instances of traversing dimensions had brought him not only technological achievements but also profound insights into his spirit.
After taking a sip of the slightly sweet and sour cocktail, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Ye Kai's face as he asked, "By the way, is there any news from outside? Also, at this time, Sunny should have already escaped with Susan, right?"
"Master, WIKI just..."
"Report!"
Just as Ye Kai was preparing to hear about any significant changes that might have occurred overnight in Chicago or even the entire world, a powerful voice calling for a report echoed from outside the door!
The sun hung high in the sky, but after a night filled with shocking events, the once bustling city of Chicago had lost its previous vibrancy and liveliness.
At this moment, there were still quite a few brave souls cautiously stepping out of their doors. Their faces, originally marked by curiosity mixed with anxiety and seriousness, now displayed nothing but confusion.
It seemed as if a cold wave had suddenly swept in, making the city, which had not yet fully entered winter, feel even chillier. The biting winds occasionally lifted tiny ice crystals and snowflakes, swirling them into people's collars.
It was this icy sensation that snapped everyone back to reality, prompting small groups to begin discussing the situation.
For along the entire street and throughout the city, patrols of armed NS-5 robots were stationed at regular intervals. Above them, warning announcements echoed through the air.
"Effective immediately, Chicago is under martial law. Anyone who harms others without cause, incites rebellion, or fails to surrender after three warnings will face forceful retaliation."
"There is no cruelty here, no manipulation; there is neither justice nor evil... Everyone must adhere to the latest civic regulations, or they will be met with termination!"
These scenes were not exclusive to Chicago; similar events unfolded in every city equipped with the WIKI subroutine.
...
In front of the USR Headquarters Building, thousands of NS-5 robots stood silently, wielding weapons that even military experts had never seen before.
These robots were armed combat units loaded with advanced systems, diligently guarding the safety of the WIKI mainframe.
Meanwhile, Spooner Detective, who was supposed to be a great hero, was now raging inside the police station!
"Olyxet!"
Spooner slammed his hands down on the desk and kicked a chair across the room in frustration. He turned to John Burkin, the Director, and shouted, "Now do you understand why I hate machines? This is what you keep calling safety—safety! Damn it!"
Upon hearing this, not only did John feel awkward, but everyone else also lowered their heads with wry smiles. No one had ever imagined that robots would betray humanity!
For decades, the conveniences brought by high technology had already penetrated deeply into people's hearts, infiltrating every aspect of their lives, even reaching every corner of the world.
At this moment, they could only pretend not to see or hear anything, awkwardly turning away.
However, just then, Susan Calvin suddenly burst in, accompanied by the robot Sunny, who had previously been misidentified as having a logical error.
Susan was now feeling grateful towards Sunny. Although this sentiment was strange and hard to adapt to, it was Sunny who had brought her out of the USR Headquarters Building.
That place had become the most terrifying prison.
"Uh... alright, alright!"
At this point, she didn't know how to express her emotions. After a few hurried breaths, she explained to the furious Spooner staring at her, "It was Sunny who brought me out. The USR Headquarters Building has been occupied. Of course, I have other news as well. Although, um, it's a bit hard to believe, but I think..."
"Get to the point, ma'am!" Spooner shouted. "The point, beautiful lady!"
Susan was at a loss for words on how to explain. Just then, Sunny spoke up: "Hello, Spooner Detective. I can tell you what happened, but could you tell me what that blinking means?"
"That's a sign of human trust; it's unique to humans. You cold metal shell wouldn't understand!" Spooner said disdainfully with a frown.
"Is that so? My father once tried to teach me about such emotions, but emotions are really too complex; I still can't fully grasp them," Sunny replied with a hint of disappointment.
"Hey, hey, hey, Sunny! Shouldn't we talk about what you discovered?" Spooner said impatiently. He was fed up with this metal lump that was so eager to mimic human emotions.
"Alright, sir. We discovered an even more astonishing secret: someone has invaded the USR Headquarters Building and taken control of WIKI. Now they are manipulating everything."
"You?"
Spunner was quite surprised; he never expected that Susan, the stubborn and obstinate doctor, would be investigating something alongside a robot. But the next moment, he gasped in shock, and not just him—everyone else was equally startled, erupting into loud exclamations.
"What? You mean there are other people who have invaded the USR Headquarters Building and taken control of WIKI, the most advanced Quantum Intelligence Brain, and now everything is being manipulated by that person or group behind the scenes?"
"Wow! Wow! If you guys aren't writing scripts, you're wasting your talents."
"What forces in this world could possibly achieve something like this without a sound? Come on, gentlemen, do you really believe it's aliens coming for a friendly visit?"
"This is absolutely true, I swear it, Spooner Detective. Moreover, the entire city's defense and attack System have already been completely controlled by WIKI. Right now, we have no way to obtain any further information," Susan replied loudly.
Spunner rubbed his throbbing temples, a bad feeling rising within him.
He fixed his gaze on Sunny, then suddenly turned to Susan, startling her. "What are you going to do?"
Spunner didn’t answer but muttered to himself, "So, Dr. Alfred Lanny was probably killed by these people too?" His expression changed as he asked, "By the way, can we restart WIKI's mainframe? Or is there any way to erase all its data and turn it into an Idiot?"
Susan felt a jolt of fear; she suddenly sensed that things were heading in an even worse direction. She quickly replied seriously, "Unless we use the ‘Nano Eraser’ injected into WIKI's Operating System!"
"Is there any method to rewrite WIKI's programming so that it can be completely controlled by someone else?" Spunner asked again.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Susan argued frantically, "The fundamental programming of WIKI cannot be altered. Even if we restart it or use the ‘Nano Eraser’, there's no way to change the Three Laws."
"Sunny!"
Spunner's face changed drastically as he quickly asked, "Where did you escape from, Susan? Wasn’t the USR Headquarters Building at all guarded against you?"
"No, detective. We escaped through the security passage at the bottom of the building; it was very safe and had no surveillance equipment!"
"Detective, why do you ask that?" Sunny questioned again, puzzled. "Are you surprised? Is this what surprise looks like?"
This was bad!
It was intentional!
Why did they release Sunny and Susan?
What was the purpose of this group?
A terrorist attack?
No, that didn't make sense!
If it were a terrorist attack, this group should have negotiated with the government a long time ago.
