Chapter 581: "Whale
When going upstairs, Candy had a hard time dragging the mop up.
The annoying thing was, Little Grey kept blocking the way, darting around nearby.
After wetting the mop, Candy mimicked her brother’s movements and started mopping the floor he had swept.
Even though the mopping wasn’t very clean, Mo Jingchun still gave her plenty of praise.
He wanted to lead by example, as Mo Jingchun didn’t want Candy to become a girl who couldn’t do any chores.
Not for any other reason, just in case one day, his grand estate suddenly collapsed, Candy would still be able to take care of herself.
You never know what might happen.
Things aren’t absolute; you never know if tomorrow or an accident will come first.
Suddenly, Candy, who was mopping the floor diligently, put her hands on her hips in anger.
The freshly cleaned floor was covered in footprints by Little Grey, of course Candy was upset.
Look at Bun being so well-behaved, lying on the sofa without moving, not causing any trouble at all.
"Little Grey, you get downstairs right now!"
Candy’s shout made Little Grey wag their tail and run around, occasionally trying to please their little master.
This made Candy so angry, her nose was almost smoking.
After spending so long mopping the floor, now she had to start all over again.
Beside her, Mo Jingchun silently took the mop from Candy’s hand.
Without any restraint, Candy reached out and grabbed Little Grey’s ear, leading them downstairs.
Her small mouth just kept rambling on, as if it was smeared with honey.
Little Grey seemed to dislike the rambling, their other ear drooped down, letting Candy lead them.
Watching Little Grey being led downstairs, Mo Jingchun’s lips curled up slightly.
Little Grey dared to provoke a child, you really lack experience.
Look at Bun, if he can lie down, he won’t stand.
Bun has already become wily; Little Grey should learn from him.
Isn’t it nice to sleep with the AC on?
Now look, Candy will nag for at least half an hour.
In fact, Candy’s actions were even more impressive than Mo Jingchun imagined.
In the countryside, every household’s newly-built house has a corridor on the first floor.
Normally it’s only about 1.5 meters wide; unless it rains with wind, usually, rainwater doesn’t reach the corridor.
At this moment, Candy was not only verbally disciplining Little Grey but also made him stand against the wall.
That’s right, stand as punishment.
Leaning against the wall, Little Grey stood trembling on two legs, his front paws shrunk.
With eyes full of confusion, Little Grey looked at his little master.
Not far away, Xiaofeixia watched this scene with a big smile.
It was just too amusing.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t record a video; otherwise, they would definitely share it with the netizens.
Before sharing, they would have to go through the trouble of blurring the video.
After more than ten minutes of standing as punishment, Little Grey became much more obedient.
The smart dog learned quickly and immediately ran to sleep beside Bun.
Bun, being used as a pillow, widened his eyes and struggled to slip away.
"Meow~"
Little Grey lifted his head, pressing Bun back under it.
Upstairs, when Candy came back up, she was dumbfounded.
How did her brother finish mopping the floor so quickly?
Dusk had fallen; it was just past six, and the sky outside had already turned completely dark.
Here, without the light pollution of the city, as long as there were no clouds, you could look up at the night sky to see countless stars.
Late at night, Mo Jingchun could tilt his head and see the starry sky and the soon-to-be-bright moon through the window.
The huge craters on the Moon were now visible in detail.
In the enormous laboratory, there wasn’t a single screen in sight.
The walls, ceiling, and floor of the entire lab were all covered with a glass-like material.
Rather than saying there were no screens, it would be more accurate to say the entire laboratory was a screen.
Unlike yesterday, today there were only three people in the entire lab.
The professor, the assistant, and the officer.
"Let’s begin."
The professor glanced at the colonel and nodded at the assistant.
"Let’s begin."
As the assistant opened a small box and inserted a key into a slot beneath their feet, a wave of light spread out from the slot in all directions.
Immediately, the entire laboratory lit up, countless glowing walls, floors, and ceilings flashed by, over and over.
After a while, all the glowing lights stabilized.
And then, nothing happened.
Beside the professor, the colonel furrowed their brows, assuming the experiment had ended in failure again.
But seeing the professor and the assistant showing no surprise, the colonel quietly stood aside without speaking.
"Education team, hand over the prepared learning materials to Whale for learning."
Looking at the puzzled colonel, the professor rarely explained:
"A newborn artificial intelligence is like a human newborn, it needs to learn."
"The difference is, artificial intelligence learns very quickly."
Perhaps the professor was in a very good mood today, so they explained patiently.
Suddenly, a ball of light appeared before the three of them.
This was just an optical illusion, not a holographic projection.
Soon, that ball of light slowly morphed into a human form without features or skin.
But each blood vessel and nerve was clearly visible.
"I am your administrator, Jolton Huffman."
"Whale?"
"It’s me, Administrator, or Creator."
In the colonel’s incredulous gaze, the professor conducted a series of tests.
Even for someone who wasn’t a specialist, they could tell Whale was different.
Yes, Whale could think.
Amidst the shock, there was also a fear of the unknown.
If Whale were ever to lose control, it would be a catastrophic disaster for humanity.
"Group A, prepare to connect Whale to the external network."
"No! Professor! I don’t agree!"
The colonel stepped forward, looking serious.
"Professor, without confirming that Whale is absolutely safe, I refuse to allow Whale to connect to the internet."
After a pause, the colonel added more softly, "Professor, I hope you understand."
"I will draft a detailed report on this and send it to the gentleman."
The professor cast a dissatisfied glance at the colonel, "This is my child. No one knows Whale better than I do."
"But, Professor, part of Whale’s core code comes from that place."
The colonel turned and left.
During their argument, Whale had been observing quietly without speaking.
Even the professor didn’t notice this.
"Hmph!"
"Continue testing; I will apply to the white officer."
"Only in the online world can Whale reach their full potential, becoming near-omniscient and all-powerful."
The assistant didn’t respond to the professor; years of experience taught the assistant that when the professor was in a bad mood, the best thing to do was to pretend they hadn’t heard anything.
As the assistant pushed the professor’s wheelchair out of the laboratory, the entire space fell into complete darkness.
Only the occasional flicker of a light ripple hinted at the extraordinary nature of the place.
