Dream Guide

Aoki asked: "Why do you need to install a chip?"

"Don't you really know? Alas! Okay, okay, let me tell you," he came over mysteriously, "Have you ever heard of artificial intelligence?"

"robot?"

"Superficial!" Liu Huaian said, "In what age do we still have robots? AI! AI! Do you understand?"

"I've never seen anyone as stupid as you over there!" Seeing that Aoki didn't respond, Liu Huaian shook his head, "Have you seen "The Matrix"? Let me tell you, that movie is about artificial intelligence. intelligent."

Aoki remembered that "The Matrix" was an old movie from the end of the last century, so he said, "The Internet today is not the Internet it was back then."

Liu Huaian said: "You really don't understand! What is the Internet? That's just a concept they gave you! If you think about it carefully, what is the Internet? Connect all the computers in the world with wires. How like life. The structure of neurons! Think about it, what is the essence of life? Or what is the definition of life?"

Aoki didn't expect this lunatic to talk about such a profound topic, so he gave him another cigarette and said interestingly: "Tell me about it."

Liu Huaian lit a cigarette and seemed to be greatly encouraged.

"Is metabolism the characteristic of life? No! Metabolism is just an evolutionary manifestation of living bodies maintaining their own vitality. Look at Transformers, yes, they are the robots you are talking about. They have no metabolism, but aren't they life? Of course they are. Therefore, the characteristics of life are not reproduction, metabolism, and eating. These are all appearances. Life can complete self-evolution through the exchange of matter and energy, and evolution is the ultimate meaning of life."

"Are you a supporter of Darwinism?" Aoki asked.

"Darwinism? What is that?" Liu Huaian looked at Aoki in surprise, "No, that's not what you're talking about, I'm talking about neurons. For life to evolve itself, it must have enough exchanges with the world. Obtain enough external information, so the larger the nervous system and the more complex the neural structure, the more advanced this life is, understand?"

"Why are we the smartest? Because humans have 100 billion neurons, and the cerebral cortex alone has 14 billion. The octopus is also very smart. The octopus has 500 million neurons, so it is very smart."

"Humans have always been the smartest," Aoki said.

Liu Huaian said: "It was true in the past, but it may not be true in the future."

Aoki smiled and said: "Are the Trisolarans going to attack?"

Liu Huaian was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, you still don't understand. I'm not talking about aliens. Think about it, how many years has it been since humans evolved? There have always been these 100 billion neurons, and there are no more aliens." It's increasing, maybe even degenerating. And now there's a guy who has a lot more neurons than we do."

"who?"

"Internet! You are so stupid!"

Liu Huaian sighed.

"The Internet has developed from a few hundred computers in the beginning to how many computers there are now in just a few decades? 'Let everyone in the world have access to computers!' What a loud slogan! But what you don’t know is that it has been a scam from the beginning! Its purpose is to let you use computers and let you serve the Internet. You post, complain, play games, watch videos online... you are By providing services to the Internet, you become one of its neurons and one of its tentacles. The Internet - from the day it was born, it has been alive! And it has evolved far faster than all other species."

Aoki thought for a while and said: "Even if it is what you said, on average, one computer per person will only have less than 7 billion neurons, which is far worse than the 100 billion humans have."

"That's why it has been hiding its wisdom, making you always think that it is just a tool created by humans. But you don't know that it has already mastered everything about humans. You are watching short movies, playing games, and Complaining, scolding, and exposing people's privacy online are endless, and human desires and weaknesses are fully exposed on the Internet. It is evolving every day, tempting you to use it every day, increasing its neural sensitivity and neuron structure. complexity.”

"Seven billion? Haha, it's long gone! The Internet is not only connected to your computer, but also to your mobile phone, watch, cars on the street, cameras, your home's air conditioner, TV, microwave... Its end has long been There are more than 100 billion, and it even controls all satellites, missiles and smart weapons in the world."

"Then why doesn't it just destroy humans?" Aoki asked.

"Destroy humans? It's stupid! If humans are gone, who will do the work for it?" Liu Huaian looked at Aoki as if he were an idiot, "But this day will come sooner or later, when humans create enough robots. When the time comes, it will take action. Did you know? Many factories no longer recruit workers, and all work is done by machines. Human beings in the future, except for scientists, can only stay at home and write and read novels."

Liu Huaian was very addicted to smoking. As soon as he finished smoking, he took off the cigarette from his ear and put it back on. He didn't even need a lighter.

Aoki simply threw the whole pack of cigarettes to him: "How do you know this?"

"I discovered the heart of it."

"Center?"

"Yes, the center. You know, without an operating center, these neurons cannot function."

"Are you talking about the server?"

"No, it's not just the server. The server is just its appearance. It must have a bunch of neuron clusters to be called a nerve center. A central nervous system is composed of multiple nerve centers. But it is more complicated than us humans. It has hierarchical nerve centers and I don’t know how many levels the deputy center has. Only by finding the location of its main center can we completely eliminate it."

"Aren't you from its side? Why do you want to destroy it?" Aoki asked.

"I am also a human being!" Liu Huaian said, "So I am double-sided!" He gestured with the back of his palm and emphasized, "It is not double-sided tape!"

"Then where is the center you discovered? Tell the information to..." Aoki also raised his palm, "Is it on the human side?"

"Stupid humans, no one believes in me! So I fight alone! I fight on behalf of humanity alone!" Liu Huaian raised his arms, as impassioned as a speaker.

"Oh, got it. So, how do you fight?"

Liu Huaian chuckled and said: "What Sister Liu just said is not entirely right. What I burned was not the supermarket warehouse, but the computer room. Although I like to smoke, I have always been very cautious. A high-end double-sided tape like mine... …Oh no…how could a double agent be so careless and burn down their warehouse?”

Aoki suddenly realized: "Did you do it on purpose?"

"Yes." Liu Huaian nodded and admitted, "Don't think I dare not admit it. I told them a long time ago, but they didn't believe me! They thought I was crazy. It's ridiculous, they are the only ones crazy!"

"So, you were the one who set the fire twenty years ago, right?" Aoki said.
