After the flying saucer captured the entire sect, I became very popular among the stars.

"That's all?" Curtain looked very surprised. "Since you don't know anything, why are you wading into this muddy water?"

"Of course I have my reasons." Chu Yao leaned on the slope of the console with his hands on his pillow, as if he didn't care about the curtains.

"What if I tell you but you don't give me anything?" Two more guard robots flew from behind the curtain. For a moment, four robots were hovering in mid-air, their guns pointed directly at Chu Yao, "You don't seem to be afraid of guns."

Where does her confidence come from?

Curtain carefully looked at the equipment on the opponent's body and found nothing strange.

"You can do whatever you want, but the thing is in my hand." Chu Yao let go of his hand, and the heart core landed firmly on the operating table, making a thud. "The heart core is priceless to you, but to me it is just a task." It’s just a goal, I just want the truth.”

Chu Yao still maintains his blood butterfly character.

Seeing the appearance of Xuedie, Curtain touched his chin and pondered, and then suddenly laughed out loud.

He thought of a possibility, and he was probably right.

"Why are you laughing?" Chu Yao was not in a hurry, the initiative was in her hands.

"Then we can start?"

The curtain estimated the time, and he still had a lot of room for maneuver.

——

"Do you know about super artificial intelligence?"

In the empty dome laboratory, voices were heard faintly through the curtains, and the buzzing rotors of the guard robot failed to reduce the echoes of the voices.

"I know a thing or two about artificial intelligence." Looking at the cigarette spinning between the fingers of the curtain, Chu Yao felt a familiar feeling. "What does 'super' mean?"

"Since the birth of computers and robots, Tianren has never stopped pursuing artificial intelligence." Curtain found a chair in the laboratory and did not sit down after hesitating for a moment. "Super artificial intelligence, this concept It was proposed by the great scientist 'Dr. Gombe' who was the pioneer of Celestial Technology hundreds of years ago."

"This kind of super artificial intelligence is not a simple simulation of the human brain, but a transcendence of the limits of intelligent thinking." As Curtain spoke, he seemed to be looking at Chu Yao casually.

"In his vision, once it is successfully born, it will show intelligence that surpasses the human brain in almost all fields. It will evolve itself, increase the speed of technological progress to an unimaginable level, and may even become a technological singularity. Triggering the fifth scientific and technological revolution of heavenly beings.

Crazy, isn't it? After all, we haven’t even figured out how our own brains work yet. "

Listening to this familiar way of speaking, Chu Yao was almost sure who the curtain's true identity was...

I didn't expect that he actually had such an identity. What is the origin of the Xinghui Organization? Is this his true background?

"Think about it, such artificial intelligence even has the ability to govern an entire galaxy. If it is used in the development of starships, the universe exploration capabilities of heavenly beings will be improved by several orders of magnitude. 'The end of the star sea is gold', this There is a saying even a child knows: no one will ever give up on traveling at the speed of light.”

Chu Yao had previously learned that the speed of Tianren’s fastest space starship could be close to one-third of the speed of light.

"It can also be used for weapons and war. Maybe in a few minutes we can create an army of robots that don't require human instructions." Curtain reached out and knocked on the robot flying above his head.

"Dr. Gombe's ideas are very advanced. But no matter how advanced the idea is, there will always be people willing to implement it, such as Zhixin Group.

This is closely related to the progress of brain science in recent hundreds of years and the realization of brain-computer interface technology. The superiors of Zhixin Group... I also forgot which generation of research department personnel came up with an even more amazing idea.

Since simulating the human brain with a computer is considered an almost impossible task, why can't we just extract the brain from the human body and then find a way to turn it into a computer? "

"It sounds cruel." Chu Yao expressed his opinion.

"It is indeed cruel. As soon as this idea was proposed, it caused an uproar in public opinion. After all, human experimentation has always been unacceptable. This incident also became the lead of the 'Fourteen Contracts.'" The curtain paused and said specifically Explain the proper term "Fourteen Contracts":

"On October 14, 2304, all fourteen large interstellar companies issued a joint statement under the supervision of the Grand Council to stop further development of artificial intelligence."

"You're really good at studying history." Chu Yao teased, "But as far as I know, artificial intelligence is still being studied."

"After all, more than two hundred years have passed, and technology will always develop, as long as it does not violate the principles of humanitarianism." The curtain finally stopped turning smoke, he held it in his mouth and lit it, exhaled a puff of misty green smoke, and stood on the dome screen. Against the star map, the drifting smoke looks like an asteroid belt surrounding it.

"The 14th Contract officially stopped research on artificial intelligence, but it did not stop Zhixin Company from secretly advancing. They reached a cooperation with Yali Company, and through mature brain-computer technology, they really did what they wanted to do. - but researchers at Zhixin misjudged the complexity of the human brain.”

Chu Yao knew that he was about to hear the key point.

"Even if the wrong blood is transfused, there will be a rejection reaction. The same seems to be true for the human brain. Not everyone's brain is suitable for 'transformation' and 'programming'. In order to achieve its own goals, Zhixin Corporation operates secretly on multiple planets. , abducted, deceived, captured, imprisoned... in order to collect a sufficient number of 'samples'."

A joking sneer sounded from the curtain's throat, "Is it ridiculous? In order to create future-oriented artificial intelligence, they would not hesitate to deprive others of their future."

"If you want to develop a brain that can give birth to super artificial intelligence, all the conditions and requirements are extremely stringent. There may be only one in a million people. But this one-in-a-million probability really makes Zhixin Company hit. .

The name of this sample is Lin Xinnan. "

Chu Yao unconsciously clenched his palms.

"No one knows why the best sample is an underdeveloped child... According to the information I know, she actually suffers from a congenital brain disease, which is a rare disease that cannot be cured and may not even survive. to adulthood.

But things just happened, and Zhixin Company would not let go of this golden opportunity. The core in your hand is the transformed one, Xiao Nan. "

"It is still far from reaching the level of super artificial intelligence, and can only be regarded as a prototype within a prototype. But after all, this is an important step taken by Zhixin Company... As long as it takes one step further, super artificial intelligence may no longer be a dream.

So, can you hand it to me now? Don’t worry, I won’t default on the 500 million. "

Chu Yao was silent.

She held the piece of heart core carefully in her hands and looked at her quietly.

Is she still alive now? Or is he already dead?

Her time stopped forever on December 1, 2309.

During the pause, she has been looking for her mother from two hundred years ago.
