Hello, Mr. Major General

Lu Jin sat in Gu Nianzhi’s bedroom, checking her brain wave data while listening to the news on TV.

When he heard the news broadcast, he seemed to remember something. He suddenly stood up and said to Huo shaoheng, “Keep an eye on Nianzhi. I’ll be right back.”

He rushed out of Huo Shaoheng’s official residence and returned to his own residence next door.

He returned to his study in his official residence, turned on his quantum computer, and began to calculate the data.

Five minutes later, he returned to Gu Nianzhi’s suite in Huo Shaoheng’s official residence. He said to Huo shaoheng, “Hurry up and send another message. Tell those who have been diagnosed dead not to be cremated immediately!”

“Connect to the ventilator, turn on the computer, put on the gaming helmet, and wait!”

Huo Shaoheng stood up in shock. “What? ! People who have already been diagnosed dead can be saved? !”

Lu Jin choked, his hands unconsciously tapping against each other. “I’m not sure either, but from the medical point of view, these people who have been diagnosed dead should be brain dead, and brain dead is the most unstable state.”

“Based on the impact of this game on the brain waves, I think as long as those people are still alive, they might still be saved!”

Because the number of deaths involved in this game was too high, it caused very intense social unrest in various countries.

If what Lu Jin said was true, then it really was “Saving a life is better than building a seven-tiered pagoda.”.

Huo Shaoheng immediately nodded. “I’ll go find them!”

He left Gu Nianzhi’s bedroom and took a car to the military headquarters to look for General Ji.

General Ji was also holding an emergency meeting at the moment.

There were too many people affected throughout the country. Even if they didn’t have one at home, there were always colleagues, neighbors, or relatives who were affected.

When a living tragedy suddenly happened before their eyes, ordinary people couldn’t bear the impact.

They would choose to do things that they would not normally do to vent the fear in their hearts.

General Ji was communicating with the garrisons in various places and was ready to move out at any time. Before the situation became irreparable, he was doing his last stand for the Order of this society.

After Huo Shaoheng arrived, general ji immediately let him in.

“Shaoheng, is there any other news?”

The news that Huo Shaoheng had sent earlier had been of some use, and the death toll had started to plummet.

When General Ji saw him enter, he immediately looked at him with hope, wishing that he could come up with a solution immediately.

He had even thought that as long as Huo Shaoheng could resolve this crisis, he would immediately retire and give up his position to him!

Huo Shaoheng was a little embarrassed by General Ji’s gaze. He pursed his lips, he said, “Not yet, but our experts suggest that the families of those who have been diagnosed dead should not immediately cremate their bodies. We can reconnect them to the ventilator, turn on the game, and put on their helmets.”

“AH? What are you doing?”General Ji frowned. “If they still can’t come back to life, you have to know that the consequences will be even more severe.”

It was one thing to have no hope, but it was the cruelest thing to give people hope and then destroy it. Of course, the consequences would be even more severe.

It wasn’t that Huo Shaoheng didn’t understand this, but at this time, he couldn’t just think about his political future and the consequences.

So many lives were at stake, and he couldn’t step on them to rise higher.

Even if there were many risks, he had to do it.

“I know. So, General Ji, save as many as you can. I will take full responsibility for this matter.”

Huo Shaoheng stood tall and straight in the advanced meeting room of the military headquarters. He gave a standard military salute to the military bigwigs in the meeting room and said, “Please agree to my request!”

Huo Guanchen sat in the meeting room with his son, his emotions extremely complicated.

This was a crisis that was beyond everyone’s imagination. If he didn’t handle it well, Huo Shaoheng might even go to court martial.

But if he handled it well..

Huo Guanchen narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of viciousness in them.

He knocked on the table and said righteously, “I think major general Huo’s words make a lot of sense. We are soldiers, and we are here to protect our family and the country!”

“What is our country? What is our country?”

“It’s the common people who live with US day and Night!”

“Now they are in danger, and their lives are in danger. As long as there is a one in ten thousand chance of saving them, we as soldiers can not give up!”

“I support major general Huo’s proposal, but I am the director of the General Political Department of the military. I will apply to the military, and I will personally go to the television station to explain the situation to everyone.”

General Ji looked at him in surprise and fell silent.

Huo Guanchen was trying to share the risk with Huo Shaoheng..

Huo Shaoheng was also very surprised. He looked over silently and did not say anything. He just saluted Huo Guanchen with a very powerful military salute.

Huo Guanchen nodded at him.

General Ji discussed with everyone and agreed to Huo Shaoheng and Huo Guanchen’s proposal. He said, “Then general Huo Guanchen will go to the television station to explain the situation. I hope he can really help more citizens who are already in despair.”

After the meeting was over, Huo Guanchen was the first to walk out.

Huo Shaoheng thought for a moment, but still chased after him. He called Huo guanchen, “General Huo…”

Huo Guanchen stopped and turned to look at him. His voice was very slow. “Shaoheng, the political risk of this matter is too great. I Can’t let you bear it alone.”

Huo shaoheng said calmly, “You don’t have to do this. I will bear all the responsibility.”

“This isn’t just about you. Someone from the military has to take a stand.”Huo Guanchen patted him on the shoulder and sighed. “You’re still young. Let me do something for you.”

Under the sun, Huo Shaoheng saw the deep lines at the corners of his father’s eyes. He didn’t say anything else.

He reached out his hand.

Huo Guanchen shook his hand. “Work hard and find out who’s behind this. Nianzhi… I’m counting on you.”

Huo Shaoheng nodded. “Thank you.”

..

Soon, Huaxia Television headquarters reported another important piece of news to the world.

“Dear viewers, if any of the people around you have been declared dead because of Your Life, you can give them the following first-aid measures.”

“Don’t cremate them. Reconnect them to the ventilator, turn on the computer game, put on the helmet, and wait for Your Life to correct their mistakes.”

After this news was broadcast, it immediately turned around the chaotic social situation in various countries around the world.

At first, they thought that their family and friends had died and that there was no hope for them anymore. But now, it sounded like that distant China seemed to have a solution!

As a result, many countries had high hopes for China, and their favorable impression of China was unprecedentedly high. At the same time, they hated Your Life even more.

Now that the social crisis had temporarily subsided, every country had the time to pursue the responsibility of Your Life from top to bottom.

The company’s headquarters in the Cayman Islands had been flooded with calls.

Moreover, many people were rushing to the Cayman Islands to demonstrate and put direct pressure on the company.

However, the game company was not a public company. Everyone knew almost nothing about the company’s operations and management.

In the headquarters of this company, all the technical personnel were in a state of frenzy during the period of the game accident.

In almost an instant, they lost control of the game. They couldn’t even maintain the game, let alone patch and correct the errors.

From the technical director who was in charge of the entire game architecture to the junior programmers who had just entered the company, all of them were lying in front of their computer desks as if they had lost their parents. It was as if they were undergoing a life and death trial.

“What happened? !”

“Why are all the commands useless? !”

“Can I unplug the power? !”

“Stop!”The technical director of the company slammed his computer desk and roared, “You can’t shut down any server! And you must keep the backup power online at all times! Before You solve the problem, none of you can leave!”

Everyone looked at the technical director who had lost his composure and hid behind the computer screen. No one dared to refute him.

Twenty-four hours passed just like that, and the executives of Your Life Company finally showed up.

These past twenty-four hours had been very difficult for them.

This game company had been operating for several years, but nothing like this had ever happened. There hadn’t even been a system crash. Why was there such a big news all of a sudden?

“Tell me, what’s going on? !”

In the meeting room of the company’s headquarters, the board of directors stared at these executives with anger, especially the technical director. Their eyes were about to spit fire.

“You’re the technical director! Your annual salary and bonus is tens of millions of dollars, and you’ve created such a big loophole for us? ! Do you believe that we can sue you for compensation? !”

The board members also had family members who were unconscious because of this game. They even wanted to beat up all the programmers in the company.

The director of Technology did not sleep for a day and a night. Green stubble grew on his face.

He was a Russian. He had been a computer genius since he was young and had absolute talent in gaming.

His game, Your Life, was created based on a 25-line source code provided by the company, open source software.

He had taken a glance at the open source software and was deeply impressed. Without a word, he had come to this small island to help them create the most creative online game.

Who would have thought that it would end up like this?

He stood in the silver-white meeting room and was so angry that he wanted to kill his board members. He took a deep breath, with a trembling voice, he said, “I. . . We’ve searched for nearly 24 hours and found… found a possible reason…”

“What possible reason? ! Tell me! I don’t have time for your nonsense!”

The technical director closed his eyes, took off his black-rimmed glasses, wiped them, and put them on again.

He seemed to have made an important decision, and his expression became solemn.

“Directors, I’ve thought about this before, but I never thought that this thing would come true one day.”

“What is it? !”The directors sat up straight and stared at him sharply. “Don’t tell me that you’ve already noticed something wrong with this game!”

“I did notice it, but it’s not like this. I didn’t know it would be like this…”the technical director put his palms together and said to the board members in the meeting room, “It’s like this. This game is alive.”

“Alive? ! I think you’re Crazy!”A board member pounded the table. “Do you think we’re Fools? !”

“No…”the technical director’s eyes lit up with excitement. “It’s not like this!”

“This game is alive, it’s alive! Its AI has evolved!”

After a while in the meeting room, a board member asked doubtfully,”… What did you say? AI? What does this have to do with Ai?”

“… our game has always had a strong self-learning function. This is the basic AI, artificial intelligence.”The technical director also pounded the table. “But I didn’t expect it to evolve so quickly!”

“This time, the game’s AI has completely taken the initiative!”

“It cut off the interface of our programmers, sealed the entire game ecosystem, and even took over our database storage servers scattered around the world!”

“We can’t Beat It!”

“Bullsh * T!”The director who spoke just now couldn’t help but curse, “If you unplug the power, What’s there to gloat about!”

“You can’t Unplug It!”Everyone in the meeting room shouted, “Once the power is unplugged, the AI might disappear, but tens of millions of people who are unconscious because of the game will die!”

No one could bear such a consequence.

“Is there no other way? !”A director yelled, “My daughter is still lying in the hospital taking oxygen! She’s only 16 years old! Is she going to be a vegetable for the rest of her life? !”

“The evolution of artificial intelligence is too scary.”The technical director was depressed. He looked at his hand, “In the past, I taught the AI how to write programs and do maintenance. Now, the AI has directly blocked me…”

“Then what should we do? ! Do we have to tell the whole world that this is the work of the AI? !”The chairman of the board of directors had a headache.

The technical director shrugged. “We can only tell the truth.”
