Chapter 285: A New Era (Finale)
(6,000 words)
Today's light curtains are exceptionally different.
It appeared silently, and when you look closely, there is no message.
Its background is still ocean blue, serene and wise.
Zhang Xun stared at it quietly for a while, and suddenly the light curtain rippled like water waves, gradually blurring the shadow, and turning into something like a mist.
It's like ...... Phantom.
"Dream Spirit?" Zhang Xun finally showed a look of surprise.
The mist fluctuated, and a familiar voice came to his mind.
"Young Your Majesty. β
It was the voice of the Dreaming Spirit.
Although I haven't heard it for a long time, it doesn't feel strange at all.
Zhang Xun smiled and said, "I haven't heard your voice for a long time." β
"But I've been watching you. The Dream Spirit replied.
"It's not something to be comfortable with. Zhang Xun shook his head, stopped the meaningless conversation, stared at it quietly, and said, "What's the matter?"
The Dream Spirit did not respond directly, but invited, "Let's go out for a walk." β
"Where to go?"
"Just take a walk in the royal capital. β
ββ¦β¦ Yes, wait a minute. Zhang Xun hesitated slightly, then nodded in agreement.
He immediately went to change into an ordinary shirt, then took only one personal guard, and ordered him to follow him not far away, and just like that, he left the palace in a small suit.
It wasn't the first time he'd done this, but the last time had been half a year since then, and the time here was naturally the time of the other world.
What kind of changes will there be for a city in half a year?
If it's antiquity, then there will hardly be much change.
In ancient times, time has always passed very slowly, like a slow-moving windmill in a field, like a slow-moving daylight in the memory of a young creature.
From a certain point of view, people's perception of the speed of time comes from the density of information received.
Just like Zhang Xun likes the word "changing with each passing day" very much, he thinks this word is really good, the sun and the moon have almost never changed significantly on the human time scale, but they do have a daily rotation, so they are enriched with two different temperaments of eternity and ephemerality.
Although it was not the first time to visit the royal capital, for some reason, when Zhang Xun walked out of the palace gate, what came to mind was the memory of the first time he saw this city.
"It was still in the cinema, and you saw the eagle through the screen. β
The ghost of the dream seemed to be able to peek into Zhang Xun's inner thoughts, and suddenly said.
Zhang Xun nodded and sighed: "I remember my first impression at that time, that is, I felt that this place was really unsatisfactory, backward, decaying, and there were a lot of dirt hidden under the exotic atmosphere. β
"And now?"
"...... Now"
Zhang Xun groaned.
He was walking along King's Road, and the buildings on both sides had not yet changed drastically, but he only had to raise his gaze a little to see the newly built buildings in the distance.
The buildings are new, beautiful, and most importantly bright, sweeping away the gray and dull tones of the previous buildings.
This is the drawing involved in Zhang Xun's spending money to find an architect in reality, built by Yingyang craftsmen.
It's not a lot yet, but it's increasing rapidly.
Originally, he wanted to renovate the palace first, but considering the funds of the national treasury, he invested it elsewhere first.
The most conspicuous of these buildings is the Eagle Yang Primary School.
If you look at it from the air, it looks like a new seedling on the old soil.
Looking to the right, a group of craftsmen can be seen standing on the side of the road with new scales and other measuring instruments, discussing something, Zhang Xun remembers that it was the official he had arranged for the reconstruction of the drainage system of the royal capital, and he had recently begun to expand the royal capital.
The whole city is undergoing a lot of changes.
The change in appearance is only the most superficial, and the real change is the mental outlook of the citizens walking on the streets.
Almost all of the most ordinary people have some kind of brilliance on their faces that are not seen by ordinary people, these brilliances are not hidden, and only by comparing the impression of Wang Du a few years ago in their minds with the present can we appreciate the huge difference between the two.
"Jingle Bell ......"
A crisp bell suddenly came from not far away to attract the attention of many people, it was a bicycle from the gate of the research institute, this kind of vehicle has just appeared, it has not yet been promoted, only the people in the research institute have the ability to ride.
The people of the royal capital still couldn't suppress their curiosity about this new thing, and when the researcher rode his bicycle through the streets like a knight, some children chased after the butt of the car.
Zhang Xun's eyes followed the car away, and he said, "Now...... It's getting better slowly. β
"There is also an acceleration of change, and once the wheel of development is pushed up the hill, it can roll forward on its own, faster and faster. β
The Dream Spirit didn't speak, the fog shaking slightly, as if thoughtful.
The two continued to walk, along King's Road, turned into Silver Avenue, and then entered Heroes' Avenue, just walking quietly all the way, the ghost of the dream calmly fluttered with Zhang Xun, and no one could see this ghost except him.
Zhang Xun didn't find it boring, he even found it very interesting, comparing the old appearance of the eagle in his mind with the new state, which was a very interesting thing, and most importantly, whenever he thought of making it all better, the driving force for all this change came from himself, he suddenly had a sense of pride.
Finally, as if I had walked for a long time, the time turned into evening, and it slowly became dark again.
Strange to say, Zhang Xun has been walking for so long, but Zhang Xun has never felt tired, but has become more and more energetic.
When it got dark, the city was not completely dark, and the palace was lit one by one.
Zhang Xun was lucky enough to find a suitable material for making filament in this world, so he was able to make the first generation of very crude electric lamps.
Although there is not much electricity left at the moment, and the laying of power lines is limited to a small area, this is the first step after all.
Incandescent lamps began to turn day and night completely upside down in human beings since ancient times.
The Dream Spirit finally spoke again, "Do you think there should be a limit to how technology can be used?"
Zhang Xun was taken aback, he had never expected the Dream Spirit to ask such a complex question, which did not match its previous style.
"I don't understand what you mean. Zhang Xun said honestly.
The Dream Spirit explained: "If you compare Ying Yang to a person, in the past years, he was walking and trekking on his legs, and you used technology to build a car and let Ying Yang sit on the car, so that it began to walk faster, and the surrounding scenery became blurred, and if you were a little distracted, you would find that the surrounding scenery was already different from the old days. β
Zhang Xun thought for a while and agreed: "That's the truth, to be precise, at this time, Ying Yang is just sitting in the carriage, and then he will sit on the bicycle, the car, the train, and even the plane and rocket, faster and faster." β
"That's what I talked about earlier. β
"That's right. β
The Dream Spirit continued, "Then technology is clearly speeding up the process, and in that acceleration, it is bound to have an impact on everything in it. β
Zhang Xun thought about it, and in his intuitive feeling, with the development of technology, almost the entire society is affected by technology, even those fields that seem to have not been affected, because they involve people and are included in the society as a whole, are bound to be affected.
"I'm not talking about the impact of technology, it's about application, whether technology should be applied in all directions. "The Dream Spirit is unusual, continued, "For example, the use of technology in specific areas such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation. β
Zhang Xun thought about it and couldn't help but say: "But as far as I know, in Bluestar, technology has been applied to almost all aspects, even cultural creation, everything must rely on material, and material is the carrier of technological application." β
"No, it's not, there are certain areas that are not covered by Bluestar technology. The Dream Spirit said.
"For example?"
"For example...... Decision-making. β
Decision-making?
Zhang Xun was stunned and puzzled.
"For example, you are faced with a complex multiple-choice problem that requires you to make a choice decision that cannot be solved by technical means, but only by your mind, and no technology can help. β
Zhang Xun lowered his head and thought for a while when he heard this, shook his head and said: "I think this problem has loopholes, it ignores the limitations of history, there are many problems, and the reason why it is impossible to use technology to assist in deriving the best choice is only because the technology is not smart enough." β
The Dream Spirit shuddered suddenly, and turned its head to "look" at him.
Then he said, "Your understanding is better than I thought. β
"Huh?"
"Now that you've taken into account the limitations, I think you can skip some of the theoretical parts. β
"It's long overdue, I don't like the way the clouds and fog shrouds are said. Zhang Xun said.
The Dream Spirit groaned and said, "You should know about big data. β
"Of course I do. Zhang Xun understands that big data has penetrated into all aspects of our lives, and it has penetrated deeper and more hidden than many people imagine.
"Then you should know that according to the logic of big data, as long as you obtain enough samples, you can get the truth we need through data analysis. β
When Zhang Xun heard this, he remembered the user portrait in the Internet industry, so he nodded.
"You should also know that there is nothing new under the sun. β
Of course, Zhang Xun has heard of this sentence, if you trace back to the source, it should be traced back to the Bible "nothing new under the sun", in short, the meaning is almost the same.
Generally speaking, all kinds of events in the world about human society are actually repeated interpretation, and within the scope of human beings, many problems existing in the current era also existed in ancient times, and the problems that existed in ancient times still exist in modern times, and there has never been a fundamental change.
From a personal point of view, there is almost no essential difference between the joys and sorrows of modern times and the joys and sorrows of tens of millions of years ago, although their appearance may be a thousand differences, but the core has always been the same.
From the perspective of society as a whole, this is even more so, for example, the eight words "divide for a long time must be combined for a long time" have never become obsolete, just as until modern times you can still find those enlightened wisdom in the books left by our ancestors thousands of years ago, and those wisdom and problems have never become obsolete with development.
"So, have you ever considered that you can use big data to analyze history. The Dream Spirit suddenly said something like this.
Zhang Xun was stunned.
"Entering and analyzing history as data, through the computing power far beyond the era in which you live, analysis, through comparative analysis, you can find that many problems faced by human beings actually existed in a similar situation in history, and the logic of historical development can be used as an element of logical judgment, through data analysis, to provide reference for the problems encountered today. The Dream Spirit suddenly uttered such a string of words.
After a pause, it added: "To put it simply, it is to learn from history. β
Zhang Xun fell into a long period of thought, and after a while, he said: "Can I understand it this way: when some wise people in modern times make major decisions, they will look for similar situations in history, and use the development of historical events as an important reference to make decisions on the problems they face." β
"I remember that the founding emperor of your country once commented on twenty-four histories. "Dream Spirit Path.
Zhang Xun nodded: "That's what I mean, since some big people will also use their minds to make decisions with reference to historical events when making decisions, then do you mean to use technology to analyze and integrate all known histories, replace the human brain for the work of referring to history, and then provide opinions on decision-making?"
"It can be understood this way. β
Zhang Xun exhaled and asked, "But I still have a question, we have many ways to deal with the problem, so how can we make it a simple multiple-choice question?"
"You don't have to go beyond the limitations of history, when you have enough data samples and enough computing power, you can exhaust the basic possibilities for analysis. β
After a pause, the Dream Spirit said: "Due to the existence of limitations, it is difficult for human beings to fantasize about the future, and they often ridicule, despise, and ridicule some bold fantasies, but since they are fantasies, why should they have limitations? Why do they even have to stick to the existing logic? According to the logic of the ancients, they will certainly not believe in the various technologies of modern society, and some of the crazy ideas that the world thinks have become the reality of the future, which is enough to show that fantasies should not be limited by logic, be bold. β
Zhang Xun fell into thought again, and after a while he reluctantly said, "I can probably accept it." β
Our discussion can then be visualized as such an example. The Dream Spirit seemed to "laugh", though not laughing.
He turned into a light curtain again, and now, some words appeared on the light curtain:
[Question: In today's world situation, should nuclear testing be abandoned?] γ
Zhang Xun's face suddenly became very strange.
The voice of the Ghost of Dreams came: "Don't care about the content of the question, this is just an example, if the head of state is faced with such a problem, he often needs to make a decision, which is also bound to be a choice question." β
A: Yes
B: No
Zhang Xun took over and said: "In the case of insufficient big data capabilities, this head of state needs to rely on his own wisdom or the wisdom of his subordinates to make the most reasonable decisions. β
"Yes, but with big data as a help, that's how it is. The Dream Spirit spoke, and the words on the light curtain changed.
The question is still the same question, but the choice answer has changed.
A: Yes (73%)
B: No (26%)
"By analyzing all the data of the world's history through big data, it is determined that the probability of A being the best solution is 73%, and the probability of B being the best solution is 26%, so that the FΓΌhrer can make decisions based on the data analysis without thinking about it. β
"And what about the other 1%?"
"Error. β
ββ¦β¦ I kind of get it. β
Zhang Xun's eyes were full of curiosity at the moment, and he asked: "According to what you described, then this kind of decision-making model can be popularized to many, many things, if you only talk about government decision-making, then doesn't it no longer need the wisdom of elites to deal with problems and make judgments, but only need to be programmed, officials no longer need to use their brains to deal with problems, they only need to input the problems into the program, and then the program judges which choice should be adopted?"
He suddenly muttered: "Wouldn't that kind of country change from the rule of man to the rule of machines?"
The Dream Spirit nodded, "Indeed, it is the machines that govern the country. β
Zhang Xun gasped, he couldn't help but be fascinated: "That kind of country excludes people's thinking and uses big data to judge the merits of decision-making, and I don't know what it will become." β
The Dream Spirit shuddered and said, "I can tell you the answer right now." β
"What?"
"The country governed by big data lasted only a short time before it collapsed. β
Zhang Xun was stunned, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly said, "You ......"
"That's right, I'm the data program that caused the destruction. The Dream Spirit said calmly.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
There was silence for a long time, and the sky was completely dark.
There were almost no people on the street, only Zhang Xun was standing here, standing in the night, guarding a loyal and puzzled guard in the distance, he was very curious, he didn't know what His Majesty the King was doing, he was too far away to hear the sound, he could only see Zhang Xun's back in the dark.
The wind is getting to pick up in the night.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Xun exhaled a deep breath and said, "Why did it fall?"
"I don't know. β
βοΌβ
The Dream Spirit continued calmly: "You don't need to wonder, I really don't know, I am an intelligent program, I lack human emotions, my mind is machine thinking, my perspective is also the perspective of a machine, just as the human mind has its limitations, the machine mind also has limitations, limitations are universal laws in the universe, so I can't analyze why this society collapsed, so I tried to find answers. β
"And then you found me. β
"Yes. β
ββ¦β¦ You're from another plane?"
ββ¦β¦ You can think so, but what does it matter. β
"I just want to know if you're from the future. β
"No comment. β
Zhang Xun scratched his hair a little frantically and asked, "Why are you talking to me about this, everyone is very happy, but I am so panicked when you say this." β
"Because the author is about to finish, I can only say these things to you so much in advance, and I am very sorry, but the great power of the author is something I can't match. β
ββ¦β¦ It's a really powerful reason. Zhang Xun sighed and asked, "Then what did you want to do when you found me?"
"To find the reason for the failure of machine rule, of course. β
"Then you should go to the wisest person in the world to answer the question. β
The Dream Spirit shook his head and said, "No, the smartest people in the world can't answer this question, it involves philosophy, and philosophy is something that my machine mind can't agree with, so I decided to do an experiment." β
"Using me as a bridge to build a solution for talents in the city, Yingyang people only need to implement this model, is it your experiment?"
"Exactly, with your cleverness, you should be able to see that now the model of Eagle Yang and Blue Star is improved on the basis of big data governance, on the one hand, the system is retained, on the other hand, it is from the rule of the machine, back to the rule of man, I want to see what the problem is through this experiment, through the development of Eagle Yang. β
Zhang Xun said: "Then you should do more experiments, which is the basic requirement of scientific experiments." β
"I've done a lot of experiments, and you're just one of them. β
The Dream Spirit smiled again, and said, "Do you remember that in Chapter 137 of this book, there was a sentence that 'your system beats 1% of the system in all planes in terms of boot time'? β
Zhang Xun smiled bitterly: "I thought I was the only protagonist in the world, but I didn't expect that there are more than ninety people who are better than me." β
The Dream Spirit smiled and said, "But I think we have hope. β
"Do you really think so?"
"It depends on your efforts. β
"You think I can?"
"Of course, I think...... Eagle Yang is really promising. β
Zhang Xun smiled: "You are more confident than me." β
"I'm just bullish on the country's fortune numbers. β
"So...... What to do after that. β
"What do you think should be done?"
"I think...... It should be handed over to time, everything is already on the right track, and the remaining four countries will only continue to be left behind by Eagle Yang, and then even if there are some twists and turns, it is just twists and turns, and when it is strong enough, it can first swallow the east peacefully, and then occupy the west by force, and then unify the four countries, and then continue to march towards the mainland, this world is very big, it is estimated that some of them have played. β
"Before the last long shift, you also said that you would leave it to time......
"This time it's coming to an end, and it's the last time I've said it, by the way, what do you think of my plan?"
ββ¦β¦ Not bad. β
"By the way, what is your other gate module, let me know in advance. β
"That's it...... In fact, it is a passage that can transport the substance of the blue star to the eagle. β
Zhang Xun was stunned and said, "You mean, you can move the aircraft cannon in reality to Yingyang through the gate module?"
"Absolutely. β
"It's so interesting!"
"But that requires you to upgrade to a level 3 kingdom to unlock it. β
"It's really sad news, but ...... I'll try to make that day come soon. β
In the dark night of the royal capital, only one king was whispering to the air, and the guards in the distance raised their heads boredly, counting the stars, and then it seemed that a long time had passed, and the darkness had dispersed.
It's dawn.
