Chapter 112 The commanding heights of technology

Sword Art Online, the real world.

At 9:56 in the morning, the family mansion was established.

Last night, President Ji Sung received a call from the Ministry of Defense, saying that he had something to consult and would visit before 10 o'clock. The first reaction after receiving this call was not to think, 'Where did this come from as a prank?' The private phone line of Shozo was multi-encrypted and could not be accessed by unrelated persons.

Therefore, President Yucheng's first reaction was to contact relevant personnel to inquire about the news. Yucheng's family was well-connected in the upper class, and he vaguely learned about the news in the financial market some time ago, which seemed to be related to Nobuyuki Sugou, whom he was about to re-employ. The company has been in the business for a long time and is well-versed in people. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew that Nobuyuki Sugou had probably offended someone.

Although he wants Sugou, who once worked in the same laboratory as Kayaba Akihiko, to liberate Asuna from the death game, but related cases involving the Ministry of Defense will not be easily involved. What's more, even Nobuyuki Sugou is not absolutely sure that he can save Asuna.

Today, Zhang San's hair was combed meticulously, his tie was neatly tied, and he was sitting on the leather sofa in the living room, well-dressed, with a serious face. Opposite were two young men in suits, about thirty years old, who looked very sophisticated and calm.

"I'm really sorry that I have to disturb President Jisung on his day off." The person who spoke was a man with a Chinese character face and an impeccable formulaic smile on his face, while the other one was taking notes.

President Jiecheng nodded, "It's nothing, everyone is busy with official business."

"It would be great if you could understand this. We are just making a simple transcript, just a routine investigation. Then, let's get straight to the topic."

"Um."

"Excuse me, what is the relationship between Sugou Nobuyuki and you?"

"An employee of my company, and his father is my friend." This is nothing to hide, it can be easily investigated.

"I see, you are family friends. How does President Yuki regard Nobuyuki Sugou?"

"I don't get along with him very much. But I have the impression that he is a very hard-working kid who has his own goals and plans."

"A very hard-working person? I wonder if President Yusei knows that Nobuyuki Sugou has a secret account?"

"have no idea."

...

The conversation was short and ended in ten minutes. No one from the Ministry of Defense ever thought of obtaining valuable information from Shozo Yusei.

"Ah, I didn't get any useful information this time." The transcriber was sitting in the car, twisting his sore neck. They had already investigated all the people related to Nobuyuki Sugou, but they still couldn't find out what the transaction was. Where does the huge amount of money come from.

"Why do the higher-ups pay so much attention to this matter?" The transcriber complained a little. If others want to make money through finance, how they invest is his private matter. Besides, it has really not caused any harm to Japan's economic system.

The man with the Chinese character face smiled, with deep meaning in his smile: "Virtual stealth. Do you think it can only be used for civilian entertainment?"

"?" The transcriber looked over in confusion. Then I saw the man with the Chinese character looking out the window seriously, and he said, "The principle of virtual stealth is to cut off the human body's biological currents and completely convert them into electronic signals. Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean...?" The transcriber felt that the air seemed to be heavy and spoke with difficulty.

"Artificial intelligence. Real artificial intelligence!" The man with the Chinese character's face had deep eyes. He heard a scientist say in a laboratory with only a number: "The so-called AI that exists now is all based on logical operations of programs. We humans have never Taking a step towards true artificial intelligence and realizing the 'free thinking' of machines is a proposition that is still in the fog. But if human thinking can be converted into electronic signals, maybe we can observe useful Information chain provides data support for the development of artificial intelligence.”

Some achievements in science and technology can always bear fruit in other subjects in different fields.

The transcribers don’t know much about this. The existing artificial intelligence has been highly liberalized and can even simulate humans to a certain extent. By ‘real artificial intelligence’, does he mean that artificial machines have the same thinking and consciousness as humans? This reminded him of Skynet in the old movie "Terminator" from the last century.

"Then what does this have to do with Nobuyuki Sugou?" He still didn't understand.

"He and Kayaba Akihiko were both members of the Shigemura Laboratory. Do you still remember the photo sent anonymously? The person who met Sugou Nobuyuki in it is an American brain scientist, and some of them are from American companies. Key person responsible for information technology.”

The transcriber finally understood: "There is suspicion above. Did he sell virtual stealth technology to the United States?"

"Well, this technical information must be kept strictly confidential. We are already lagging behind the two major countries on the commanding heights of science and technology."

The transcriber finally understood why the superiors were so aggressive. The field of artificial intelligence is the technological commanding heights that the whole world wants to conquer. If you have it, you will have more say.

"How did Nasugou Nobuyuki answer?" The transcriber also became curious. The man with the Chinese character's face thought that he would have to be involved in this aspect in the future anyway, so he said: "According to Nobuyuki Sugou himself, 'I am not a genius like Kayaba Akihiko, how can I master the core technology of a complete infiltration device?' , and when asked about the huge amount of money, he was vague and firmly said that he did not know."

"Then this guy has a really tough mouth," the transcriber said.

"Yes." The man with the Chinese character face always maintained a serious attitude. He held the steering wheel and stared ahead. "The superiors are almost losing patience with him. Maybe he will be transferred to 1123 soon."

"1123?!"

The transcriber couldn't help but shudder when he mentioned these four simple numbers. There is a paradise for the torturer and a hell for the tortured.

"Once you get there, there's nothing you can't open."

Under the blue sky, on the asphalt road, black cars spewing exhaust gas passed by.

Ye You certainly didn't expect all this. It is also impossible to imagine that the information provided by the anime Sword Art Online is far from the tip of the iceberg of the world.

His initial idea was to send Nobuyuki Sugou to prison and let him spend the rest of his life in prison, but he did not expect that he would be targeted by the national security agency before the follow-up methods were used.

It is not difficult to imagine that Nobuyuki Sugou, who has touched national security, will have his name and personal files removed from the household registration information files in the near future, and will be completely 'dead' in the sense of human society. Not being murdered, not being targeted, but being crushed to pieces by the state machinery, with nowhere to escape.
