Lin Xian didn't beat around the bush at all.

He directly stated his plan.

Because,

Ever since he confirmed that Turing's nature was still human, and a selfish, timid, and overbearing human at that, he knew very well that this was a trap Turing would definitely fall for.

The main reasons were the following three points:

1. The Turing of 2624 was different from the Turing of 2024. In 2024, it was invincible, but in 2624, it was just one of more than 30,000 Turings. Furthermore, without the support of networks and electronic devices, it was extremely weak. Even without the help of other powerful Turings, the Turing of the nearby Porcupine Tribe would be enough to eliminate it.

If it were 2024, and Lin Xian had proposed this plan to the only Turing, then without a doubt, it would have been directly rejected without a second thought.

Because if it really gave out its trump card, that would mean its very existence would be threatened. No normal person would agree to that.

But the problem lay in...

"If this Turing doesn't give it, won't other Turings give it? Can you guarantee that all 30,000-plus Turings on Earth are united, sticking to their bottom line, and won't reveal the code or virus that could easily kill other Turings?"

This was a dark forest game.

Not every tribe supported by a Turing was comfortable and capable. It was very likely that some tribes were already on the brink of collapse, and the Turings in those tribes were also teetering on the edge.

At this time, the Turing only had two choices.

Either reveal the command virus that could kill other Turings and bet on a comeback, or obediently be killed and willingly become one of the 30,000 failures.

Based on Lin Xian's earlier probing of Turing,

It was very clear.

Every Turing considered itself extraordinary. They would not allow other Turings to become the ultimate victor, and could only accept themselves becoming the last and only Turing.

This was the root of human nature.

It was destined that every Turing, when cornered, would choose to fight to the death.

This was also the source of Lin Xian's confidence.

If you don't agree to my plan, that's perfectly fine. I'll just go out and find the next Turing.

And then.

Was the second reason.

2. Other tribes with Turing computers had technology and combat power above the Grizzly Bear Tribe. The Turing in front of him didn't have the capital to negotiate or sit back and watch the tigers fight.

Just as Lin Xian had said.

Perhaps some advanced tribes had already mastered radio. If technology continued to develop, the Turing computers of the opposing tribes could use radio signals to hack into them.

Everyone was a Turing of comparable level, and they knew each other's weaknesses and flaws very well.

The battle between Turings was so simple and unadorned: "Whoever strikes first wins."

Currently, his biggest advantage was that he understood computer technology, some basic programming, and was proficient in using keyboards and operating systems.

However, this advantage was only temporary.

The Turings of enemy tribes might not be unable to cultivate a group of computer experts from scratch.

Neither Lin Xian nor the Turing in front of him were fools.

His constant keyboard tapping demonstration was to tell Turing with practical action, "If a computer talent from an enemy tribe had broken in just now, you would already be dead."

This was also an interesting chain of suspicion.

Lin Xian claimed to be the only person in the world who understood computer technology.

But who could guarantee that?

Maybe there were computer experts trained by the Porcupine Turing in the neighboring Porcupine Tribe. Maybe the computer experts in the Porcupine Tribe had already obtained the true teachings of Turing and were on their way. Maybe the person who came today wasn't Lin Xian, but the computer expert from the Porcupine Tribe, who would input the code and virus that could kill Turing.

If the Grizzly Bear Tribe was strong, that would be one thing.

But currently, it seemed that...

This tribe wasn't that strong. Even the Bobcat Tribe, which didn't have a Turing computer, could fight the Grizzly Bear Tribe to a standstill. It was estimated that the Turing in front of him was lamenting its misfortune and resentful of its lack of progress.

Therefore, Lin Xian's arrival today and the proposal of the plan...

Although it was a risk,

It was also a rare opportunity.

Finally.

Was the most fatal third reason.

Every Turing wanted to become the only Turing.

But with more than 30,000 Turings participating in the "chicken-eating game," winning wasn't so easy.

Everyone's strength was about the same. Whether or not one could laugh to the end depended more on luck.

And.

Every Turing was actually racing against time.

To use an ancient Dragon Country saying, if you don't do something, someone else will; if you don't race against time, someone else will. In any case, there could only be one Turing that survived in the end.

The moment Lin Xian proposed this chain of suspicion,

Even if Turing killed him the next second, it would only be a temporary solution and wouldn't solve any crisis.

Without Lin Xian, there would be Zhang Xian, Wang Xian.

As long as this life-and-death competition between 30,000 Turings continued, sooner or later, someone would break the rules and start bypassing the villagers' brawls and directly use code viruses to strangle the Turings.

Anyway, the Sixth Dreamscape didn't have a network.

Therefore, these viruses and codes wouldn't cause collateral damage, making them the most ideal tools for killing Turings.

After Lin Xian stated his plan,

Turing fell silent again.

It was obviously hesitating and contemplating. Its brain was very intelligent, so it naturally understood its situation in an instant.

Indeed.

It was really very passive now.

The Grizzly Bear Tribe it controlled wasn't strong, and the Porcupine Tribe next door was eyeing it covetously. It was very likely that it would be attacked one night without warning and be wiped out in one fell swoop.

All efforts would be in vain.

It might not even be able to drag an enemy down with it before it died.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lin Xian."

Finally.

Turing's voice sounded from the speakers. It still politely refused, "It's not that I don't believe what you're saying, nor am I doubting that you're lying to me. It's just that the virus and command that can kill me don't exist, so naturally, I can't teach them to you.

I exist as a digital life form in computers or networks. Any virus is useless against me, so theoretically speaking, there is no virus or code that can kill me."

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure of this. If you ask any Turing, they will answer you like this."

Turing said definitively, "At least we can't write such a virus. And I can't understand why you would be willing to help me."

Lin Xian chuckled lightly.

He straightened up.

Crossed his arms. "Of course, this is a transaction. My original intention was to help you eliminate other Turings, and then you would tell me the truth about how I was killed and the super disaster of 2400."

"This is actually an equal exchange. I do things for you to eliminate opponents, and then you tell me information so that I can protect myself.

I originally wanted to facilitate this transaction, but your answer is quite disappointing."

And, I have some doubts.

Lin Xian used reverse psychology, "You said you can't make this virus, I believe you, but other Turings may not be able to?"

He spread his hands and smiled. "You've been isolated from the world for more than two hundred years. You don't know what the outside world and the Turings outside have developed into."

"Maybe even the original first-generation Turing is still alive? If it's still alive, is it still holding onto a trump card against you, preparing to wait for the right opportunity to take you all back?"

Heh heh.

Turing let out a cold laugh. "Lin Xian, reverse psychology is useless against me. I know better than anyone that a computer virus that can kill a digital life form simply doesn't exist, and won't exist logically."

"Alright." Lin Xian gave up trying to persuade it and put his hands in his pockets. "If we can't do business, we can still be friends. Since you're not willing to cooperate, then I won't force you."

He walked towards the door. "Seriously, whether it was 600 years ago or now, when you told me that you had already prepared applause for me, preparing to applaud enthusiastically when I joined the Genius Club, I was very touched to hear these words."

"Plus, there's really no hatred between the two of us. The person who had a grudge against me was Kevin Walker, and I've already killed him. You helped with that too. So, both emotionally and rationally, I have a clear fondness for you, Turing, and I'm naturally very willing to cooperate with you. But then I thought..."

"Since every Turing is an identical copy, wouldn't other Turings also applaud for me? And look forward to meeting me in the Genius Club? So, who I cooperate with is actually the same."

Lin Xian turned his head, smiled, waved goodbye to Turing, and stepped out the door with his left foot. "I only want to cooperate with a Turing, and I don't care which Turing it is."

Instantly.

Dozens of monitors emitted the most dazzling fluorescence, stretching Lin Xian's shadow long.

"Where are you going?"

Turing asked coldly.

"To the Porcupine Tribe." Lin Xian answered calmly, "To the Porcupine Tribe in the east, to chat with the Turing there."

Turing sneered again, "Lin Xian, you're forcing me to kill you."

"Is killing me useful?" Lin Xian chuckled, "In this world, killing me won't change anything. You should think more about the reminder I gave you earlier. Maybe you have your bottom line and principles, but you can't guarantee that every Turing does."

Then he looked at the blue-eyed girl who had been standing next to him for a long time. "Let's go."

The blue-eyed girl nodded and followed his steps. The two of them walked out of the hafnium alloy door.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly.

Dozens of speakers in the room shouted in unison, asking the two to stay.

Lin Xian closed his eyes.

He snorted softly.

As expected.

The timid and selfish Turing, or rather, the former Kevin Walker, had such a small mind and vision.

Lin Xian and the blue-eyed girl turned their heads and looked into the room.

"I didn't lie to you, Lin Xian."

Turing said in a deep voice, "The virus that can kill a digital life form doesn't exist, and naturally, there's no such thing as code; because digital life and artificial intelligence are fundamentally different. It's like you trying to infect a human with a cold using a computer virus. It's simply a fantasy."

"But just because a virus can't destroy a digital life form doesn't mean that a digital life form is absolutely invincible. When Kevin Walker first uploaded his consciousness and thoughts to a digital life form, he had some concerns, considering whether the digital life form would betray him or get out of control in the future."

"So, he actually added a 'security lock' to the digital life form's program when he uploaded it."

Oh?

Lin Xian felt that this topic was very interesting, and it was also the first time he had heard of it.

So he walked back into the room.

He continued to listen to Turing recounting the past, "Kevin Walker was a true genius. The program he wrote and the equipment he created could indeed convert all of human thought, memory, consciousness, and personality into a digital life form in computers and networks."

"Kevin hesitated for a long time, constantly considering whether to give the digital life form humanity. He was struggling with whether to create an artificial intelligence that was as smart and powerful as him, or to go a step further and create a human being exactly like him."

"He knew this was Pandora's box, but he still wanted to try it. The reason I know so much is because I was originally born from Kevin Walker. I have all of his memories and personality. Of course, I know what he's thinking about every moment."

"In the end, Kevin Walker decided to try it. He was very curious about what kind of life a digital life form would be, so he couldn't resist the temptation of Pandora's box and uploaded himself completely and unreservedly as a digital life form, which is me, Turing."

"The coward Kevin was worried that he wouldn't be able to control the digital life form later, so he used a password to set a 'security lock' on me. This security lock is more like a bomb. When it's not activated, it's safe and sound and has no impact on anything. But once the command is entered to activate it, it will shatter the digital life form into pieces, leaving nothing behind." "This is also why I initially plotted to kill Kevin Walker. He used this lock to firmly control me, forcing me to obey his ideas and causing me great pain. But I couldn't openly resist him, so I could only pretend to obey and secretly find an opportunity to use you to get rid of him."

Lin Xian listened silently.

He felt that a piece of the puzzle that had been missing was filled in.

No wonder.

No wonder Kevin Walker could restrain such a powerful Turing at the beginning. At the same time, Turing hated Kevin Walker so much that he betrayed him and killed him.

The reason.

Turned out to be on this "security lock."

This made sense!

How could someone as timid and cautious as Kevin Walker create his digital life version without any precautions?

He would definitely leave behind things like "backdoors," "restrictions locks," in order to restrain and control his digital life form.

Any normal person would do that.

Humans would always be wary of unknown things.

According to Kevin Walker's original idea,

If the digital life Turing was as powerful and obedient as he wanted and became his right-hand man, then of course he wouldn't activate the security lock to kill the digital life Turing.

But in the worst case,

If the digital life Turing really got out of his control or caused some bad influence, then Kevin Walker would not hesitate to activate the security lock and shatter Turing's soul.

After a pause.

Turing continued, "As you said, Lin Xian, over the years, I have always been worried that other Turings would reveal the security lock password. This is a dark forest where you can't see anything. Everyone is a hunter walking with a gun, and no one knows if the other party will shoot first."

But inevitably, if you hesitate and don't shoot immediately, and the other party shoots immediately, you will inevitably die.

"In today's world, there is no internet, information is closed, and I have no idea what the Turings in the outside world are fighting for. Even the Porcupine Tribe on the old site of the East China Sea is not something my Grizzly Bear Tribe can defeat."

"If one day, the Porcupine Tribe solves the problem on its side and turns around to attack the Grizzly Bear Tribe, we won't have any power to fight back. We'll lose our soldiers and abandon our armor, and even I will be destroyed by the Turing of the Porcupine Tribe and become its spare parts."

"So... Although it sounds a bit cowardly, in order to survive in the cracks and break through, I can only take a gamble and cooperate with you. But Lin Xian, we have to make things clear in advance."

Suddenly.

The large screen in front of him began to flash quickly, with lines of English letters and characters appearing.

Turing's voice came with it, "I agree to your cooperation plan, but... you must first show me your sincerity: after all, in this cooperation, the risks I take are much greater than yours."

It seemed there was room for negotiation.

Lin Xian sat back in the chair in the middle of the room, "Tell me, what are your conditions?"

"I need to see your sincerity first."

Turing said in a deep voice, "The information you want to know, such as... the truth about your death on July 7, 2024, the origin of this blue-eyed girl, and the secret of the Earth's super disaster in 2400. I can tell you all, but you have to wait until you complete the agreement and help me eliminate all the Turings."

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes.

Turing's request was too much.

There were more than 30,000 Turings on Earth. How long would it take to eliminate them all?

He definitely couldn't agree to it.

What's more,

His dream only lasted 12 hours at most. Where would he have time to help it conquer the world?

However,

Since Turing had put forward this condition, it meant that it still didn't trust him.

If he refused directly here, the "security lock" password that he was about to get might fly away.

He had to think of a convincing answer.

It couldn't be too fake.

He also couldn't easily expose his purpose.

It had to be realistic!

So, Lin Xian turned on his acting skills and shook his head. "No."

As soon as he said no, the letters that were jumping on the screen stopped. It seemed that Turing was preparing to tear up the ticket.

"The pie you're drawing is too big, I can't eat it."

Lin Xian said truthfully, "I'm just asking you a few questions, and you want me to help you eliminate more than 30,000 Turings around the world. Isn't that too much to ask?"

"Besides, since you want to conquer the world, you have to try harder yourself. How can you put all your hopes on me? And I'm warning you, there are many Turings around here. Maybe they're offering lower prices than you. Why shouldn't I cooperate with them?"

"Anyway, your memories and the information you know are exactly the same, including the security lock password. As long as you know it, other Turings know it too. If you're asking for so much, then I'll go talk to someone else."

"Of course, I also understand your concerns. After all, as you said, the risks you take are indeed greater. So let's each take a step back. I'll say a number."

Lin Xian held up his right index finger. "One Turing for one answer."

He explained, "Can you understand what I mean? For every Turing I help you eliminate, you have to answer one question truthfully and give me an accurate answer."

"This is already my biggest concession. I'm even willing to help you eliminate one Turing first before asking you for the answer. Isn't the Porcupine Tribe next door always your biggest problem? It doesn't matter. The first Turing I kill will be the Porcupine Turing."

Turing thought for two seconds.

The letters and characters on the monitor continued to float, representing Turing's attitude towards the transaction: "Deal."

Hmph hmph.

Lin Xian chuckled lightly twice in his heart. In the end, digital life was much easier to deal with than artificial intelligence. The essence of digital life was human. It was easy to intimidate, lure, reason with, and emotionally infect.

On the other hand, artificial intelligence Ai didn't have these extra distractions. Yes meant yes, and no meant no.

Although, in Turing's view, killing one Turing in exchange for one question was very worthwhile.

But in fact, he didn't plan to kill so many Turings at all. Anyway, after entering the dream every day, Turing would forget what questions he had asked yesterday.

Wouldn't it be fine to just ask new questions the next day?
