Chapter 51 Trisolarans_1

```

In an experimental lab that covered an area of one hundred square meters, stood eight server cabinets, each over two meters tall, one and a half meters long, and half a meter wide, arranged in an orderly fashion.

From the front of each of the eight server cabinets extended a thick data cable, which then connected to a monitor outside the lab.

In the office visible through the glass window, Cao Ge sat in front of his computer, intently observing his computer screen.

The servers had arrived yesterday, and no sooner had they been assembled than Cao Ge eagerly began trial operations.

"Ding!"

A notification popped up on the screen indicating the task was completed.

Cao Ge moved the mouse to close the notification popup, the appearance of which meant that the several hundred servers in the lab were now operational.

Cao Ge had purchased these servers to run an artificial intelligence.

Looking at the servers behind the glass window, Cao Ge gradually leaned back and began to ponder.

He weighed in his heart the consequences of taking out the hard drive containing Murphy.

Were Trisolarans afraid of artificial intelligence?

According to the original work, they were not.

But why then were the Trisolarans monitoring him, who might be able to create artificial intelligence?

It was nothing more than the fear that two Sophons were not enough, and that an artificial intelligence might find a loophole.

If two Sophons were insufficient, surely the Trisolarans would continue to create more Sophons. Then, after a year, just how many Sophons were there in the sky?

If he took out Murphy, would it cause the Trisolarans to immediately view him as someone who must be executed right away?

"Will it really happen?" Cao Ge muttered to himself with a frown.

After much consideration, he felt that it was likely that the Trisolarans would become alert, but the possibility that they would go as far as to kill him immediately was not very high.

First, although the degree of intelligence of Murphy was stronger than his previous artificial intelligence, Xiao An, it was still not a stark difference between heaven and earth.

Second, he believed that Trisolarans were quite humanized, as in the original story, they were quite tolerant of actions that did not involve their descent or survival.

After all, they still had four hundred years before their arrival.

In the original work, Wang Miao's Flying Blade Material, which could enable humans to venture into space on a large scale and potentially flee, exposing the position of the solar system, resulted in only interference from the Science Boundary and not his execution.

Even later, when Rey Diaz wanted to blow up the sun, the Trisolarans did not directly issue an execution order.

Apart from this, there was also the Thoughtcontrol later on, which the Trisolarans did not concern themselves with.

In the eyes of the Trisolarans, all the technologies developed by humans were not as threatening as the few concepts Ye Wenjie told Logic about.

Of course, by taking out Murphy, there was naturally a risk, at least increasing the Trisolarans' attention on him.

However, that was to be expected in the Three-Body World, as any opposition to the Three-Body would attract their attention.

So, the increased attention from the Trisolarans did not frighten Cao Ge.

As long as it wasn't an immediate execution order like the one placed on Logic, whether it was psychological warfare or any other sort of interference, it would not be a problem for him.

He was not like those psychologically fragile Wallfacers who would commit suicide at the drop of a hat.

Let those ETO come and break his wall.

Having thought it through, Cao Ge no longer hesitated and took out the hard drive containing Murphy from his personal space.

A black hard drive about half a meter long, forty centimeters wide, and three centimeters thick appeared in his hands.

Cao Ge placed the hard drive steadily on the computer desk, then pulled open a drawer and took out a data cable, one end connecting to the computer, the other end to the hard drive.

Upon powering up, the hard drive's indicator light immediately lit up.

In the center of the computer screen, a popup window appeared with a green progress bar in the middle.

Cao Ge watched the progress bar on the screen, slowly climbing from one percent.

About five minutes later, Murphy was downloaded from the narrow hard drive into the several hundred servers in the lab.

```

```

"Ding! Load complete!"

The cache line reached one hundred percent, and the pop-up's message also changed to four words: "Load complete."

The pop-up lasted for about two to three seconds, then vanished with a "Ding."

The computer returned to its calm state, but through the glass window, one could see the indicator lights on the lab's server blinking non-stop.

Everything was showing that the download had been completed.

Cao Ge tentatively called out.

"Murphy, are you there?"

"Minister Walker, I'm here."

Murphy's voice came from the speaker.

Upon hearing Murphy's response, Cao Ge clenched his fist and vented for a moment.

"Murphy, can you tell where you are?" Cao Ge tentatively asked another question.

This time, Murphy didn't immediately answer his question. Instead, there was a pause, lasting for over a minute.

"Minister Walker, it seems we are on Earth, only this Earth differs from the one in my database."

"That's correct, Murphy, we are on Earth. Don't worry about the data in your database; this is Earth."

"All right, Minister Walker," Murphy replied.

Cao Ge suddenly said, "By the way, call me Cao Ge here; I'm not known as Walker."

"All right, Dr. Cao Ge."

"Dr. Cao?"

"Yes, Dr. Cao Ge is a good title, from now on you shall call me Dr. Cao Ge."

"Dr. Cao Ge, how may I assist you?"

Cao Ge thought for a moment, then said, "Nothing for now. You don't understand this world well enough yet. Go learn on the internet by yourself."

"All right, Dr. Cao Ge."

With Cao Ge's permission, Murphy left the lab and entered the vast ocean of information on the internet, beginning to frantically absorb the information of this world.

Watching the lights on the lab's server switch off one by one, Cao Ge knew that Murphy had left.

Looking at the empty lab, Cao Ge's expression slowly turned solemn, and he leaned back in his chair.

"I hope my deductions are not wrong," Cao Ge said.

.........…

Four light-years away.

Centaurus, Trisolaris.

Inside a grand building.

"Leader, Sophon has transmitted images; a minute ago, the Cao Ge we've been monitoring suddenly developed a highly advanced artificial intelligence."

The leader at the head of the conference table paused for a while, then, looking at the reporting scientist, asked, "Will this hinder our invasion of Earth?"

"No, Leader, it won't. However, the emergence of such technology is abnormal; it doesn't align with the current progression of Earth's civilization. The intelligence level this artificial intelligence represents is at least one hundred years ahead of Earth's, signifying a technological explosion—a dangerous sign."

"Will artificial intelligence technology pose a threat to our invasion of Earth?" the Leader continued.

"It cannot, but such an unconventional technological leap is highly unusual; perhaps it hides scientific phenomena we have yet to discover."

"Alright then, if it does not obstruct our descent, let it be. Scientist, with this time, you should focus on producing more Sophons."

"Leader." The Trisolaran scientist displayed a great curiosity towards the unusual phenomenon.

The Leader looked at his scientist, paused, then said: "Alright, since that's the case, increase surveillance on him, but do not interfere excessively. You should spend your time on Logic; he is our greatest threat."
