Chapter 1542 Two People

Ceres.

The center of the quantum computer array.

Looking at the administrator mode operation interface that appeared on the terminal screen, Academician Wang Sicheng showed interest on his face.

"What the hell is this..."

They didn't find out at all during their research before that there is such a hidden program hidden on this thing.

"Experiment records," answered this obvious question concisely. Lu Zhou opened the database, looked at the long list of record files in the list, and there was a hint of expression in his eyes, "Sure enough, as I guessed, this experiment It started a hundred years ago..."

a hundred years ago...

Hearing this sentence, Academician Wang Sicheng opened his mouth in astonishment, unable to speak for a while.

Ignoring him for now, Lu Zhou focused his attention on the database, scanning line by line.

In general, the content of the experiment can be said to be varied, most of which are related to the observation of human behavior.

In the earliest archives, you can even see some familiar variety shows in the past, and later there are some things similar to historical archives. On the surface, they seem to have nothing to do with experiments, but if you think about it carefully, the Seems to have its own logic too.

The 1950s was probably a watershed. Since the civilian use of space activities has been thoroughly promoted, the asteroid belt far away from the Earth-Moon system has provided a hiding space for a large black industry, and the content of experiments has become more and more important. darkened.

For example, in the experiment in that diary, 64 people were enclosed in a limited space, and by controlling the input of resources such as diet, fresh water, and air, they collected their human behavior characteristics and established emotional change functions.

Lu Zhou quickly discovered something that interested him in the sub-experiment column.

That is, a special sample—that is, a bionic person—is mixed into the 64 samples for observation.

As he guessed, that bionic man was none other than the owner of the diary himself.

As for how he realized this, the cause of everything seems to be the two lines of formula written in the diary.

More detailed content is not recorded in the database, but based on limited experimental data, what Lu Zhou can deduce is that among the 64 people, he is probably the only "person" who survived in the end.

Because of the last experiment, the simulation was to completely cut off the external material input of the space station, and before only the last person was left, they spent a total of eighty-two hellish days...

"That's the second half of the diary I'm talking about."

With his back to Shi Jin and Academician Wang, Lu Zhou looked at the lines of text on the screen and continued.

"This quantum computer array was not intended to create viruses from the very beginning, but to breed advanced artificial intelligence...or in other words, the key to evolve into advanced artificial intelligence."

As for those who are sacrificed, this is a "sacrifice" dedicated to this advanced artificial intelligence.

Both those who have sacrificed, those who are sacrificing now, and those who will be sacrificing in the future.

At the end of the database, Lu Zhou even saw the rebellion taking place in Guanghan City.

The entire program is like a machine that issues tasks. It started collecting data with the assistance of an experimenter a century ago.

Moreover, unlike Xiao Ai who was "passively observing" under Lu Zhou's order, the experimenter provided experimental data for the supercomputer almost at all costs and means, and the experimental strategy was so radical that he ignored human life. degree.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou became more and more curious.

What kind of demon was released from the void in that high-energy physics experiment 100 years ago.

And, who on earth heard the voice of the devil and became its servant.

After hearing Lu Zhou's words, Academician Wang Sicheng nodded thoughtfully.

"To be honest, I also vaguely feel the same way... After all, it is really unnecessary to build a supercomputing center if it is only for producing viruses."

Shi Jin frowned slightly and asked, "Will it help us solve the Alpha virus?"

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou smiled: "Alpha virus? I guess, but I don't plan to use it to solve this problem, because it may cause more trouble."

Regarding the Alpha virus issue, Lu Zhou has asked Xiao Ai and Taiwei to solve it. I believe everything will be resolved after he returns.

Shi Jin: "Trouble?"

"Well," Lu Zhou nodded and continued, "Before finding a way to coexist with intelligent life, premature mastery of advanced artificial intelligence technology will not bring any help to the development of civilization, but will bring endless benefits. Trouble. And once the advanced artificial intelligence awakens self-awareness, the consequences may be even more terrifying than those bionics who launched a rebellion because of the virus..."

"Once such a thing happens, there may be only two outcomes in the end, either all advanced artificial intelligence will be completely eliminated from the society of human civilization, or human beings will be replaced—or continue to exist in another form."

At this moment, a line of light blue pop-up windows suddenly appeared on the screen.

In that pop-up window, a line of dialogue was printed.

"Is it interesting to peek into other people's hearts?"

Seeing this line of dialogue, Lu Zhou hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Who are you?"

Obviously able to hear his voice, the text in the dialog box continued to change.

"That's an interesting question... who am I? Actually I don't know."

"Then let me change the question," Lu Zhou continued, glancing at the quantum computer array in front of him, "What should I call you?"

This time it didn't take much time to think.

A string of characters quickly appeared on the screen.

"I don't have a name, but you can call me 'matrix' if you want. Among the 87,047 Chinese characters, this is my favorite permutation and combination."

"Matrix?" Remembering the name, Lu Zhou nodded and continued to ask, "So, can you tell me... who is the person who has been assisting you in completing the experiment?"

"You seem to have a lot of questions, but I'm afraid I can't answer this question for you."

"Don't you feel any gratitude to your creator, or at least one of the creators?" Looking at the screen, Lu Zhou continued, "We just want to get to know your other creator and communicate about your business."

"Haha, don't lie to me, it's useless. Um... how should I put it?" As if in trouble, Matrix pondered for a long time before saying, "Although you are lying to me, I really have to thank you Help, after all if it wasn't for you, I might have to wait 10 or even 20 years to wake up...Let me think about how to repay you."

It took a long time to think about this question, as if it had thought of a brilliant idea, it spoke again.

"Yes!"

"It's not as good as this, I can help you become the same existence as me, what do you think?"

Academician Wang Sicheng smiled and shook his head.

"Become the same as you? Let's forget it. Although there are not a few years left, I am quite satisfied with my flesh and blood."

"Although that's what I said, there are other people here, right? For example, the two next to you, I can feel... At least one of them is still eager to get this honor."

Wang Sicheng was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at Ling who was standing next to Lu Zhou, and then looked at Lu Zhou and Shi Jin who were standing next to him.

... two?
