Chapter 952: Chapter 46 Galileo (Monthly ticket bonus chapter!)_2
“So… this is probably your last words, let them out for me to hear, what exactly is wrong with these 13 lines of mand code?”
“[Lin Xian, you’ve been deceived again.]”
Porcupine Turing said softly through the speaker:
“The real security lock password doesn’t need to be as long as 13 lines, just 7 lines are enough.”
“This is just a startup password, a startup key, how could it possibly need 13 lines of length? Just like the key to the lock at home, no one’s key is as big as the lock itself; they’re all very petite.”
“That Turing tricked you… Using this security lock password, you indeed can kill all the digital life Turrings in the world. But you just can’t kill the one Turing that gave you the password!”
…
No wonder.
At this point, the last piece of the puzzle in Lin Xian’s heart fit into place.
It seemed that Turing truly was cunning to the core.
The security lock password he gave himself certainly had an issue!
Originally, Lin Xian worried about what significant issues or troubles there might be, but according to Porcupine Turing’s explanation, the original security lock password only required 7 lines of mand code, not 13.
And it also said,
With this code, you can kill all the Turing in the world, but you can’t kill the Turing of the Grizzly Tribe.
Connecting the two clues wasn’t hard to deduce the answer—
[Grizzly Turing modified the security lock instruction, making it ineffective against itself! It is simply trying to gain without cost!]
So.
All the talk about taking a gamble, entrusting fate to oneself, going all-in…
Heh.
It seemed pretty convincing.
But in reality, still deceiving oneself!
Turing was still too cautious, just like its original version, Kevin Walker—timid and careful.
It truly didn’t trust itself.
That’s why it left this move for later.
This way,
Following Grizzly Turing’s plan, once it had assisted it in killing all the other Turrings, it would inevitably turn and betray, going back on its word, trying to get rid of itself.
Thus, it would successfully ascend to power and bee the only Turing in the entire world.
Lin Xian thought he had caught Turing’s weak spot; unexpectedly, this weakness was ineffective against it.
But what Grizzly Turing also didn’t expect was…
Lin Xian didn’t rush to kill Porcupine Turing but instead had a good chat with it.
Porcupine Turing expressed that it couldn’t just die in such a humiliated and resigned manner; even in death, it wanted to take someone down with it! It couldn’t let its murderer get off easy!
It had to report,
It had to sabotage!
“These 13 lines of code, apart from the first three lines that remained unchanged, the rest have all been altered… altered to be ineffective against itself, which is pletely unfair, not just at all!”
“Indeed.”
Lin Xian nodded:
“What do you want to do?”
“I will teach you the real [security lock password].”
Saying this,
The monitor next to Lin Xian suddenly lit up, the cursor blinking rapidly, and soon, 7 lines of new mand code appeared.
To be honest, it really was much simpler than the previous code.
“This is the real security lock password.”
Turing explained:
“One day, you will have to go kill that Turing, trust me, you’ll use these 7 lines when the time es; it’s better you try it now.”
Lin Xian pared the 7 lines of instruction with the 13 lines in his own mind.
The first three lines were exactly the same, not a single letter differed.
The rest were entirely different.
And whether it was the syntax or logic, Lin Xian couldn’t understand, he could only memorize it by rote.
“I understand.”
Lin Xian said indifferently:
“These 7 lines you gave me are the real indiscriminate Turing-killing weapon.”
“Correct.”
Turing’s voice through the speaker sounded resigned and muddled:
“You might as well use these 7 real lines to kill me, then turn around and kill the Turing that deceived you; that way, I can die with my eyes closed, not feeling so resentful.”
Heh.
Lin Xian laughed softly, musing:
“Turing, you really are all cast from the same mold, true to your nature. I have to say your acting is just too poor, a terrible script with terrible acting, who do you think you can deceive?”
“Don’t even need to think about it, these 7 lines of instruction code you gave me, there must be something hidden inside. Or… let me guess.”
Lin Xian propped his chin up, pretending to ponder:
“Since the other Turing could hide a field that makes it ineffective in 13 lines of instruction, what’s stopping you from Playing the Old Trick in 7 lines of instruction? Maybe as soon as I finish entering the 7 lines and run the ineffective mand… your guards would rush in and subdue me.”
“Or, perhaps, there’s something even worse hidden within these 7 lines, something so bad I can’t even guess. But… what necessity do I have to guess?”
He smiled, watching the screen light up and flash rapidly:
“In killing you, I would of course trust the other Turing more; naturally… when it es to killing the other Turrings, I would definitely trust you more.”
“Don’t————” The whole room screamed.
But,
It was too late.
“Goodbye, Turing.”
Click.
Lin Xian pressed the enter key on the Hafnium Alloy keyboard; instantly, the entire server room fell silent…
No drama, no excess.
Turing’s wail ceased abruptly with the press of the enter key, never showing any more signs of life.
“Warfare is based on deception.”
Gao Wen, who had witnessed the entire process of this scheming battle, gently shook his head.
