Chapter 589: Law of Conservation of Energy
But why does the Professor look so grim?
As if he’s about to die.
The assistant, who was initially full of joy, began to worry again.
Based on past experiences, it’s best to lower one’s presence at times like these.
"Hmm."
The Professor responded nonchalantly, and the assistant let out a sigh of relief.
Jolton Huffman didn’t show any kindness to the Colonel and directly controlled his wheelchair into the base.
Seeing this, the assistant perceptively moved forward to push the wheelchair.
Neither the Colonel nor the Professor were people she, an assistant, could afford to offend.
At the lab entrance, Jolton Huffman frowned at the white seal.
The white seal had nothing on it, serving no real function.
Yet it was enough to be annoying.
Was it really necessary just because you got scolded along with someone?
"Take it off."
The assistant glanced at the expressionless Colonel behind her, took a deep breath, and tore off the white seal.
The next moment, the Professor gently tapped the control panel on the wheelchair, and the lab door opened with a beep.
The Professor looked at the Colonel, understanding why the Colonel only sealed the door.
This lab, without him, others simply couldn’t open the door.
Unless they destroyed the door completely.
For such an important lab, the door couldn’t be that easily destroyed.
Watching the Professor and others enter the lab, the Colonel did not follow.
There was nothing much to see inside, just emptiness.
Not even a place to sit.
"Professor, please enter."
Inside the lab, Jolton Huffman frowned deeply, ignoring the accompanying personnel who were all smiles following him.
No, something’s wrong.
Jolton Huffman sensed something amiss.
Why were only the automatic sensor lights on in the lab?
A bad feeling welled up inside.
Please don’t let the worst-case scenario happen.
"Whale, this is your administrator Jolton Huffman."
"If you hear me, please respond."
The accompanying personnel curiously looked around.
Yet embarrassingly, after waiting for a long time, there wasn’t any reaction inside the lab.
"Whale, this is your administrator Jolton Huffman."
"If you hear me, please respond."
This time, Jolton Huffman strengthened his tone, and under the light, his face appeared even paler.
Under the watchful eyes of the accompanying personnel and assistant, Jolton Huffman, hands trembling, accessed Whale’s backend.
The thing he feared the most happened.
Whale... was gone.
Did it escape, or did something happen? He had no idea.
There was no trace in the backend.
"It’s over."
"It’s over."
"Humanity is doomed."
At this moment, Professor Jolton Huffman mumbled repetitively like someone suffering from dementia.
The accompanying personnel weren’t foolish; realizing the severity, they ignored the increasingly hysterical professor, immediately evacuating the lab to report the emergency situation.
With the AI Whale already missing from the lab, staying there served no purpose.
A few minutes later, network security experts from the Beautiful Country were again urgently gathered into a meeting room.
Upon learning that the AI Whale was missing, everyone started cursing out Jolton Huffman.
Along with that, there was deep concern.
Considering their own survival, everyone was worried.
What kind of enemy is the most terrifying? Undoubtedly, it’s an unpredictable one.
Because you never know when an unpredictable enemy might attack.
After the meeting, all personnel conducted a thorough investigation of the Beautiful Country’s network.
As expected, nothing was found.
This is the terror of AI.
In the world of network information, AI is like a god.
All-knowing, all-powerful.
A deliberately hidden AI would never be found by humans.
Everyone involved in the operation signed confidentiality agreements, prohibiting the disclosure of any information.
But all the informed personnel knew there was now a Sword of Damocles hanging over humanity’s head.
To counteract the missing AI Whale, Jolton Huffman was taken away alone.
Except for a few individuals, no one knew where Professor Jolton Huffman was taken, or even if he was alive.
In the underground research base, deprived of sunlight, Jolton Huffman didn’t know where he was.
By car, train, ship, plane.
After being transferred through various modes of transport, Jolton Huffman doubted whether he was still in the country.
Once the black blindfold was removed, Jolton Huffman squinted and took a long time to readjust to the light.
In front of him stood a very young girl in a white lab coat.
She couldn’t be older than twenty-five.
The girl had her hands in the pockets of her white coat, smiling as she spoke:
"Professor Jolton Huffman, I hope that in the upcoming time building a more perfect AI, we can work well together."
When taken away from Area 51, Jolton Huffman had a suspicion.
As expected, in the face of Whale’s threat, the higher-ups wanted to create an even stronger, more perfect AI.
After all, only magic can defeat magic.
As long as Whale exists, humanity will be in constant danger.
"A pleasant cooperation."
In recent days, Candy has grown fond of visiting relatives for the New Year.
Every day there’s a lavish feast, and she gets lots of delicious treats.
So almost every morning upon waking up, the first thing Candy does is shake her brother awake to ask if they’re visiting again that day.
From the first day to the sixth of the New Year, Candy had a marvelous time.
Whereas Mo Jingchun felt like he was going mad.
Getting shaken awake early in the morning when it’s still dark—only a sibling would do that to him.
Luckily, these days finally came to an end.
The eighth day of the New Year, good for travel, bad for weddings.
After tidying up the house in the morning, Mo Jingchun took Candy on their way back to the company.
Along the way, Candy showed no signs of gloominess.
She just kept safeguarding the small pink crossbody bag hanging on her chest.
To guard against her brother, the little one managed to stay awake the entire trip.
It’s just over six thousand bucks, your brother isn’t broke.
I’ve got lots more than you.
Mo Jingchun consoled himself.
But why has my happiness disappeared?
So according to the conservation of energy, happiness transfers, right?
The past couple of years, he managed his sister’s New Year’s money, and he was the happy one while Candy was downcast.
This year is different, Candy got smart and didn’t buy into his financial management schemes.
No matter what, she wouldn’t hand over her New Year’s money.
Now he’s the downcast one.
And that small look, why does she treat him like a thief?
Is it necessary to clasp the pink crossbody bag with both hands?
After a nap, Zhou Yaling yawned and stretched.
"Wow, that was fast, we’re almost in town."
Her peripheral vision caught sight of Candy’s pink crossbody bag bulging with the hefty sum of over six thousand inside, who would have guessed.
