What else could they do?
…
Mi Country, Texas State, Boca Chica, Space-T Starship Launch Site.
Scenic Iron Tower.
At this very moment, the sun was rising.
A new day, a new sun.
The darkness in China was the dawn in Mi Country.
The early spring breeze tousled Mr.
Jask’s hair, making it a mess.
Although the hair of the world’s richest man was always messy and unkempt.
But it’s colder at the top.

Lying on the Scenic Iron Tower, overlooking the entire Starship launch site, the wind still made it difficult for him to keep his eyes open.
At that moment, he stared intently at the launch tower standing right in the middle of the launch site.
The steel braces extending around secured the 40-meter-high medium-sized rocket that shot straight into the sky.
“Mr.
Jask!”
Tatatatatata—
The sound of rapid high heels clacking on the steel floor.
A secretary in a coat and business skirt ran up from the steel staircase encircling the tower, gasping for breath as she appeared around the corner.
She pushed up her red-framed glasses, looking dissatisfied at Jask:
“Mr.
Jask, why do you always come here to watch without bringing your phone!
I can’t contact you promptly whenever there’s something important!
And you make me run up here in high heels!”
“If you really don’t want your phone to disturb your enjoyment of the rockets, why not install an intercom here!
One on this tower, and another in my office, so I don’t have to run so far to find you every time.”
“Hahahahahaha…”
Jask listened to his secretary’s complaints and burst out laughing.
He cocked his head and quivered his eyebrows:
“Did you bring your phone?”
“Of course I did!
Who doesn’t bring a phone when they go out nowadays!”
Jask reached out his hand:
“Give it to me.”
“Ah?” The secretary was startled, her red-framed glasses sliding down slightly.
“Give me the phone.” Jask repeated.
The secretary reluctantly shifted the folder in her right hand to her left and then took out her phone from her right pocket, handing it to Jask.
Jask cradled the phone in his hands, weighing it.
Then, once again smiling, he turned back, leaned on the railing, and looked toward the distant launch tower:
“Do you know why there are no power lines here, why no electronic devices are installed, even no lights, and why I never bring a phone up here?”
The secretary pushed up her sliding glasses and shook her head.
She had long felt that this Scenic Iron Tower was somewhat unreasonable.
But even more unreasonable…
Of course, was her boss, the world’s richest man, who always forgot his phone and came to this forsaken tower to watch rockets every day.
“Because I fear ‘Artificial Intelligence’.”
Jask spoke softly:
“Artificial Intelligence, for humans, is like Pandora’s box.
Once opened, it could unleash consequences no one can control.”
“Such as humanity’s excessive dependence on automated machines, leading to the abandonment of thinking; such as the complete exposure of personal privacy, where everyone lives in a world as if under a mirror; such as the AI crises often mentioned in science fiction movies, where, if Artificial Intelligence becomes powerful and intelligent enough, might it not rebel against humans?
Might it not destroy humanity?”
“I don’t like the feeling of being watched, but living in this era, there are cameras everywhere, phones everywhere equipped with cameras and microphones…
Our privacy is almost non-existent, everyone is transparent.”
“And this tower—”
Jask held the phone in his right hand, spread his arms wide:
“This tower is one of the few places in the world that will never be monitored, never listened to.”
“Even the most advanced Artificial Intelligence, after all, depends on electricity.
Without power, it is nothing.
So, while I fear that Artificial Intelligence may become potent, I also disdain such lives that need information carriers and power support.
They will never defeat humans, never qualify to be adversaries to humanity.”
The secretary let out a light sigh:
“Mr.
Jask, you’re thinking too far ahead.
The artificial intelligence in the world right now mostly remains at the stage of playing chess, drawing, automating tasks, writing papers, and assembling novels…
They say it’s creative, but essentially it’s just playing puzzles in the digital world, copying a bit from here and a bit from there, and then presenting the mixed dish to you.
That’s what these AIs are doing right now.”
“So, your worries are completely unfounded, like those world-destroying, crisis-triggering super AIs in sci-fi movies; they simply don’t exist in this world.”
Heh heh.
Jask chuckled softly, looking at the distant Starship Rocket Launch Tower:
“How can they not exist?”
He turned around:
“How do you know…
that there isn’t such a super AI in today’s world?”
The secretary chuckled dismissively and turned her head away:
“If there really were such an omnipotent super AI capable of monitoring everything, controlling everything, then this world would have been finished already.”
“No country would be able to handle it, no one could stop it, no one could destroy it…
Such a thing could only exist in sci-fi movies, in futuristic fantasy novels.

If it were to appear in this era of 2024, it would be invincible, unsolvable, unbeatable.”
Jask slowly nodded:
“You’re right, it is indeed invincible.”
He looked up at the sun climbing into the sky:
“Not just in this era, but even…
100 years later, 200 years later, 300 years later…
it would equally be invincible, unbeatable.”
“But…”
Jask picked up the secretary’s phone with his right hand, smiling slightly:
“[What about 400 years, 500 years, 600 years later?]”
Under the secretary’s puzzled gaze.
Jask pulled out a crystal-blue USB drive from his pocket with his left hand.
The USB drive seemed to glow by itself.
Emitted a faint blue light, inside, it appeared as if there were stars twinkling, glass rolling, very beautiful.
Just as the secretary was about to ask-
Jask was quick!
He directly plugged the USB with a tpcy-c port converter into the phone’s charging port!
“No good!”
240 kilometers above Mi Country!
Inside the equipment chamber of China’s Skyspace Aircraft!
Inside Lin Xian’s helmet, VV suddenly let out a howl:
“Lin Xian save me!
Lin Lin Lin wood wood wood wood wood bow bow bow bow bow Xuan Xuan Xuan Xuan Xuan 锟斤拷 锟斤拷 hot hot hot hot hot hot—”
Boom Boom Boom Boom!
Boom Boom Boom Boom!
At the instant VV’s howl abruptly stopped, several explosions suddenly erupted inside and outside the aircraft!
The chamber was filled with the smell of burning circuits!
“What happened?
What’s going on!”
The equipment chamber was in disarray, Gao Yang and Chu Anqing looked around in alarm!
“VV?
VV!!”
Thump thump!!
Thump thump!!
Lin Xian pounded fiercely on his helmet:
“VV!
VV!!
Where are you!!”
However…
There was no response.
…
“Heh heh heh heh heh heh…”
At the Space-T Starship Launch Site in Texas, on top of the Scenic Iron Tower, a low chuckle emanated.
Jask unplugged the USB drive and handed the phone back to the secretary.
Then, facing the sun directly above in the sky.
He raised his right fist.
Pointed with his index finger!
Pointed high towards the sky!!
“Turing…
come and [rectify history]!”
