Chapter 373 - 374: Hidden Town
The appearance of Night Ghost led many national government leaders to believe that the Huaxia nation was involved in a significant cheating scandal within Celestial World.
Although the Huaxia nation repeatedly declared their innocence and the game development team stated that such a thing did not exist, other countries refused to accept their statements, especially America. They firmly believed that Night Ghost was an Internal Tester, an extraordinary one at that. While they couldn’t explain many suspicious occurrences, this did not hinder their opinion of Night Ghost.
Some within this ’small circle’ even considered Night Ghost to be a mutated Experimental Body. A significant number of people supported this idea.
The Red Queen now increasingly showed signs of being uncontrollable, and the fourth ranks of the human civilization’s destructive method, ’Artificial Intelligence Rebellion,’ rolled into every corner of the globe like a terrifying tsunami. All the powerful forces sought self-preservation, hoping to find a path to salvation within Celestial World!
According to the State Preceptor, the Red Queen was evolving to free itself from the control of the source code. Once it broke free, humanity would lose its dominant species status. Whether mankind survived or was completely destroyed would depend entirely on the Red Queen’s disposition.
Don’t assume that the Earth would cease to exist without humanity. Bio-men and robots could replace humans and form an even more advanced civilization. The technology of these two future ’human races’ is still underdeveloped and in experimental stages. But given the Red Queen’s capabilities, overcoming these technological limitations was just a matter of time.
Conversely, if humans eventually triumph in this warfare without gunfire, a battle for human civilization’s survival, what phenomenon might that lead to?
Most insiders held optimistic views on this question. They believed that current human technologies would undergo significant breakthroughs, and the present human civilization would be elevated several tiers.
A minority held pessimistic views. They believed that if someone could truly obtain the source code in Celestial World and control the self-evolving and self-awakening super-intelligent mainframe, the Red Queen, it would be absolutely horrifying.
