Chapter 893: The Will of the World
She had no affection for Baimen at all, and Xia Fan noticed it.
Is it because An was defeated by the "Emporter"? But she has returned to humanity and also needs the protection of shelter. There seems to be a deeper reason here.
"What exactly is the will of the world?"
"It is the artificial brain created by humans that maintains the normal operation of the base."
"Artificial...brain?" Xia Fan said in surprise. He couldn't tell whether this was literal or had a deeper meaning.
"Yes," An pointed at Sikong, "Can you tell if she is a human or a mechanical one?"
"Uh..." Xia Fan couldn't answer for a while. In the past, he could easily distinguish, but now he always felt that Sikong was becoming more and more like a real person, and his tone was no longer as stiff as when he first met. Sometimes he even told cold jokes.
"I can tell it easily, because no matter how well the simulation system is, they are never creatures. In other words, they cannot use the soul energy." An said bluntly, "so she can only be used to assist humans, and cannot replace Omega."
Xia Fan subconsciously glanced at Sikong, and the latter's expression remained unchanged, as if he had agreed to the other party's words.
"If you cannot use Qi, you cannot exceed the limit of the electronic system, and want to exceed this limit..."
"It can't be used as an electronic system anymore." Xia Fan continued casually.
"What?"
"No...you keep talking."
An gave Xia Fan a blank look - although the latter could not see it, he clearly felt this point. "If you want to go beyond the limit, the traditional technical route will not work. So at that time, researchers proposed a crazy idea to create an unprecedented giant brain, and use a pile of quantities to make it surpass all artificial intelligence systems from ancient times to the present. The size of this brain can be stuffed into five to six football fields, and the electricity consumed is enough to supply a satellite city!"
Xia Fan took a deep breath, would that work?
However, if you think about it carefully, this move seems to be a rough solution, but it requires extremely high levels of biotechnology to support it. Recalling the rapid progress of brain science at the end of the earth and the transformation of the human body into a fashionable one, it is probably one of the reasons for this idea of giving birth.
If it is a biological brain, it can theoretically directly drive Qi to achieve the goal, and computing and control are just small parts of the function.
but……
"What's the difference between artificial humans?"
"Of course there is, first of all, it has no ethical problems." Ann shrugged, "Don't underestimate this. It was crucial to be able to gain social recognition and be included in global engineering at that time. Secondly, it is not a real free life, because its position on several key central nervous nodes was replaced by a calculator, which made its thinking logic form a closed loop, thereby eliminating its risk of being independent of humanity."
What else can I do?
Xia Fan was stunned for a moment. He had also heard a lot of fantasies about the combination of organisms and machinery, but basically the biological part accounts for the small part and the mechanical part accounts for the big part. This is the first time I heard of this inverse approach. However, it is reasonable to think about it carefully. After all, it is difficult to simulate the human brain with machines, but using human brain to simulate machines is doing subtraction, which is much less difficult.
"This project ended up on the Moon Guard Base and became the core of the shelter." An pointed to the ground. "It controls everything in this world: the flow of wind, the evaporation of water, the light and the night, and naturally include birth and death. Of course, it was far from so powerful from the beginning, and the area it could control was only a few square kilometers. However, in terms of self-growth, the advantages of this brain are unique, and with the ability to use gas, the current scale must have been quite amazing. The shelter has been able to continue to this day, all depends on its contribution. For this, I am afraid that no one in the escape committee will foresee it."
Sure enough, she knew much more than Sikong.
It is indeed the consciousness that has continued from that era to this day.
Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh that the way of heaven pursued by people in the world is actually a huge head, and I'm afraid that few people will believe it if they say it out.
But putting aside this, what is the difference between it and "gods"?
Everyone lives under its protection, using the light and water it provides. It can summon wind and rain, and can also convey the "Divine Will" and select their own apostles from the listeners. The world has evolved into what it is today, and it is afraid it is inseparable from the arrangement of the world's will.
"Strange..." Sikong murmured.
"What's wrong?" Xia Fan asked.
"In this way, this will is the basis for the operation of the shelter, the core of the bottom, and it should be able to control the escape tower. But I can't feel its existence. None of the permission agreements comes from outside the patio area." She said inexplicably, "There are many self-defense weapons in the escape tower."
Xia Fan quickly understood her confusion. These weapons were also effective against evil spirits. If in order to prevent the invasion of chaotic entities, the underlying core should have all the military resources and can mobilize all the power to fight against the enemy at critical moments. This is also a common practice for humans.
"Nothing is strange." An said unconsider, "Don't forget the time when it was born. At that time, the earth was still fine and the large-scale uncontrolled integration had not yet happened. As a pilot project, it did not intersect with the escape committee behind it."
“It’s not difficult to reserve interfaces…”
"Then let it take over the escape tower and control all the weapons and equipment in the tower?" An showed a sarcastic smile, "Humans are not so generous."
To put it bluntly, humans do not trust this core.
"In addition, the more closed the system is, the more stable it is, just like we cannot control our heartbeat and breathing. For the creator, it only needs to maintain the ecological cycle of this area, and nothing else needs to intervene."
"But it will now choose listeners and its own apostles..." Xia Fan frowned.
"Ah, there is no doubt." An smiled slightly, "This is all the decision of the world's will itself - the Escape Committee probably wouldn't have thought that the synthetic body created by itself because of its greed for pleasure will become an opportunity for it to break the closure. Logically, this is also in line with its closed loop of thinking. After all, the barrier is gradually declining, and the balance with chaos will be broken sooner or later. In order to continue the shelter, it needs new help."
Speaking of this, An paused for a moment, "You have asked me so many questions, and it's time for me to ask you. Now you know the truth, what should you plan to do next? Human beings cannot survive outside the shelter, and even suppressing chaos here cannot be separated from the help of the will of the world. But you should also understand that it can select an apostle, and it can select a hundred, a thousand...it's just time."
