Chapter 782, Farewell

Jiang Xu was a truth-seeker, so in order to find the truth about AI, he came to Barrier 61 by himself to personally experience what it was like to live under the control of AI.

Therefore, his understanding of AI was more realistic than Ren Xiaosu’s.

Unlike Ren Xiaosu, who for the time being only saw the powerlessness of the barriers’ residents in choosing their jobs, Jiang Xu said to Ren Xiaosu, “You know Li Ran, right?”

Ren Xiaosu nodded, “I remember that she was also from Barrier 61, but she was rescued out later ah.”

“She once even visited me in L.A. City on her tour,” Jiang Xu nodded, “She came back here after Barrier 61 was rebuilt, and came back to visit after she learned that I was here as well, so guess what kind of work she’s doing now?”

Ren Xiaosu wondered, “Doesn’t she sing anymore?”

“No more singing,” Jiang Xu said, “She said that Barrier arranged a job for her as a radio station announcer, which is actually quite a bit better than most people, but she still wasn’t happy about it, so she wanted to leave Wang’s to become a singer somewhere else, but Wang wouldn’t let her leave and sent a psychological counseling team to her door every week to open up to her, giving her the opportunity to her some thoughts on obeying arrangements.”

Jiang Xu continued, “But that’s nothing, what’s most difficult for her to accept is that the counseling team even got hold of the key to her house, and would go for counseling anytime, don’t think too much, these people didn’t threaten her personal safety, they just came to her door in the middle of the night. Supposedly, it’s the AI that feels it’s more effective to go for counseling at this time of the day.”

Ren Xiaosu raised her eyebrows, “What’s the difference between that and a threat? So I’m afraid her doorstep visit is to make you take her away.”

Jiang Xu nodded, “I’ve already negotiated with Wang, and Wang agreed painfully, but I can only help her alone. And I actually have my own selfishness, I hope that I can let Li Ran tell everyone by herself what she’s been through.”

However, this was still only one of the minor incidents that Jiang Xu encountered, he said to Ren Xiaosu, “Also, all the phones in this ledge are being tapped, many people may not have realized it yet, but I did. In the past, even the most powerful intelligence agencies couldn’t listen and screen the telecommunication system of the entire ledge, but this AI can do it easily, so I suggest that you don’t use the house’s landline phone when you’re in the 61st ledge.”

That night Jiang Xu talked a lot with Ren Xiaosu, all about what he himself had seen and heard in Barrier 61, in the end, Jiang Xu decided to describe the place objectively without any personal subjective attitudes, leaving it to the entire Barrier Alliance to discuss Wang’s current development.

There was more than just a bad side to it, there was also a good side.

Jiang Xu had to admit that Barrier 61 was the best barriers he had ever seen in terms of law and order, bar none.

Even in L.A. City, there were many dirty things and crimes happened from time to time, but they all disappeared in Barrier 61, as if they had been erased with an eraser.

So, he would also write these things into his manuscript.

Jiang Xu smiled at Ren Xiaosu and said, “To say that it’s coincidental that you’ve come, I’m planning to leave Barrier 61 tomorrow and go back to Luo City, counting the time I’ve stayed here is almost a month, it’s time to go back.”

Ren Xiaosu thought about it and said, “Then I will see you off tomorrow.”

Jiang Xu asked with interest, “You’re afraid that Wang won’t let me leave? Then what will you do if you really won’t let me leave safely?”

Ren Xiaosu said seriously, “They shouldn’t be able to stop me.”

……

That night, Jiang Xu used Hope Media’s own transmission equipment to send out the written manuscript.

Because the Green Harvest Group had seven satellites, Hope Media’s speed of transmitting news had always been the fastest among the newspapers.

Early the next morning, Hope Media’s newspaper went on sale at exactly 6:30 a.m. Gradually, the adults in the entire Barrier Alliance began a new day.

In Barrier 73, a middle-aged man had breakfast at home in the morning and then said goodbye to his family.

He stopped by the newsstand and bought a copy of Hope Media’s newspaper, wanting to see what was new today.

But he didn’t rush through it, planning to pour a cup of hot tea when he got to his workplace and use the newspaper to pass the time this morning.

Then at lunchtime, he would talk to his colleagues about the new things in the newspaper.

The middle-aged man stood by the side of the road waiting for the slow tram to come, he took out his monthly ticket card and swiped it on the tram, drop, monthly ticket card.

The middle-aged man found a seat on the train and sat down. Because it was the starting station, the train was very empty.

However, when the tram after two or three stops, the car began to gradually crowded, the car is full of strange smell, sweat, chives, and noisy noise.

The middle-aged man was happily looking out the window, but he gradually heard someone discussing, “Have you guys seen it, today’s Hope Media newspaper talks about what happened to Li Ran ah, it’s all about Wang’s AI.”

“Li Ran, is it that female singer? I still listen to like her song ‘Blow Up’, what happened to her?”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man finally couldn’t help but flip through the newspaper, and as a result, the more he read, the more mesmerized he became, and he didn’t even realize that he had sat through the station.

In just one morning’s time, artificial intelligence had become the keyword in everyone’s mouth.

Hope Media, which had been in the spotlight, finally fired a shot at Wang.

In the morning, Ren Xiaosu followed Jiang Xu and the others out alone, Jiang Xu looked at the two of them, “Have you two eaten breakfast?”

Ren Xiaosu shook her head, “I’m preparing to buy some on the way.”

“Haha, I knew it,” Jiang Xu handed him a kraft paper bag, “Here, inside is our reporter’s fried vegetable corner, eat it while it’s hot, we were also a little uncomfortable when we first came to Barrier 61, because the commerce of this Barrier 61 is very withered, for the time being, there are only some publicly run stores and breakfast stores. It’s a long way from where we live.”

“There’s no one to open their own small stores?” Ren Xiaosu wondered.

“No, it says that it’s not allowed yet, but it might open later, for the time being, all the industries in this ledge are owned by Wang,” Jiang Xu said.

“Then where is everyone’s motivation ah,” Ren Xiaosu muttered, working for someone, which is not as happy as making money for yourself?

Ren Xiaosu finally sent Jiang Xu and the others to the entrance of the barriers, watching Jiang Xu being released after checking his documents, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xu turned around and said, “See you again sometime.”

Ren Xiaosu said, “Definitely see you again.”

Jiang Xu smiled and shook his head, “In this world, nothing can be said, so cherish every goodbye.”

After saying that, Jiang Xu got into his car and left.

Ren Xiaosu returned the same way, but the more the road walks the more feel some uneasiness, at this time a cross-country car and he brushed past, he froze for a moment suddenly felt that the car of the three, there is a kind of inexplicable sense of familiarity.

He looked back and watched the SUV drive out of the barriers, stopped in place and thought for a long time, then suddenly ran in another direction.
