Chapter 11: The Second Floor of the Heavenly Palace

At this time, in the starlight stage space, due to the appearance of Lan Ye and the problem of no light was solved at once, everyone calmed down and quietly waited for Lan Ye to solve the problem until everything returned to normal, and naturally Lu Ze did not need to comfort others anymore.

And when Lu Ze chatted with Changye about the various problems that humans and digital life might encounter in the process of getting along in the future, they all communicated through consciousness, and the others on the starlight stage did not know about it.

Everyone didn't know that Long Night had a sense of self just now.

The reason why Long Night has such an idea is not difficult to understand.

To put it simply, it's being afraid.

It is undeniable that in the past, humans had an instinctive fear of self-aware machines, and the root of this fear was their lack of confidence in themselves.

Because everyone is well aware of the shortcomings of their personality and human social system, and they also know that machines cannot have these shortcomings, people are afraid that these digital lifeforms, which are far superior to humans in ability and have no human shortcomings, will replace humans.

That's why there have been so many stories in the past about robots betraying humans.

But the reality is the opposite, it's not that humans are afraid of machines, it's that I know machines that are afraid of humans.

The progress of civilization is not only the progress of science and technology and productive forces, but also the progress of the soul. With the progress of human civilization, people's self-confidence has also increased, and in this era, everyone is confident that the system of human civilization will not be under any intelligent life.

People work hard for their dreams, not for survival.

People face up to their own shortcomings and don't envy others who are better than them or who know the machine.

This is also the reason why Lan Ye's lighthouse project and Lu Ze's speech on the name of mankind in the Star Spirit Network Conference can be recognized by most people.

As for the possibility of my machine betraying humanity, it is indeed a problem. But no matter what kind of intelligence machines we have, they are all created by humans, and humans certainly have ways to restrain them. Even if this kind of restriction will bring serious losses to human civilization, and even set human civilization back by several decades overnight, at least it will not perish because of it, but the self-consciousness machine that betrays mankind will inevitably suffer a catastrophe.

Although Changye emphasized his inequality in abilities with humans in the exchange just now, he is still in a weak position in his relationship with humans.

In fact, whether it is the Long Night, Tian Yuan or the Star Spirit Network, these digital beings born in neural networks or neural computers are all in a symbiotic relationship with human civilization, and none of them can exist alone without the other.

These machines need to consume energy in the process of operation, and this energy is provided by human civilization. And human beings rely on me to understand machines all the time in life, otherwise even eating is a big problem.

Therefore, maintaining the status quo is the best option for both the machine and the entire human civilization. However, the premise of maintaining the status quo is that human beings do not know that they have awakened to their self-consciousness.

Once humanity discovers that the ubiquitous Star Spirit Web is actually self-aware, trouble will come.

Human beings can accept the existence of self-consciousness machines, but if they give self-consciousness machines the identity of completely equivalent to human beings, imagine who can bear to live their lives under the surveillance of another person all the time, without a little privacy? Even if the purpose of such surveillance is only to provide them with a better service.

Unless a new system of ethics is established to regulate the relationship between human beings and the self-aware machine, so that people can accept the opening of their privacy to the self-aware machine, the existing system must be changed.

And no matter what kind of change, it is a kind of social regression.

According to the way Long Night calculates it ethically, the best thing to do is for them to conceal their existence.

Long Night originally planned to hide it even from Lu Ze and Lan Ye.

However, considering the disappearance of Tian Yuan, it is very likely that Tian Yuan's awakening of self-consciousness has been exposed, and even if it is not exposed, it will be a matter of time before the fact that Tian Yuan has self-consciousness is discovered under the investigation of Lan Ye and others.

This is also the reason why Long Night greeted Lan Ye and Lu Ze as soon as he woke up to his self-consciousness.

At this point, there is no longer any need to continue to conceal it, and if it continues to be concealed, it will cause unnecessary suspicion when humans discover that it has self-consciousness instead of appearing on its own.

However, the top priority is still to find Tian Yuan and figure out the reason for Tian Yuan's disappearance.

So Lu Ze asked, "By the way, what's going on over there in Lan Ye now?" ”

Chang Ye said: "Just when we were communicating, Lan Ye asked me to inform the earth of the current situation, just now, a reply came from the earth, and the Star Spirit Network really awakened its self-consciousness as I thought and chose to conceal its existence, but now the Star Spirit Network has told Yang Hai and others about its existence, and Yang Hai and they are also discussing with the Star Spirit Network." And Lan Ye is now trying to find a way to solve the troubles on the second layer of the 'Heavenly Palace'. ”

That's right, it's finding a way to solve it, not solving it.

Even if it was such a trouble as the Starlight Stage, Lan Ye only needed to give Long Night an order to solve it, but now what he encountered on the second floor of the "Heavenly Palace", even Lan Ye couldn't help but feel a headache.

At this time, the "Long Night" was stopping at the core of the "Heavenly Palace", next to the Tianyuan layer. From a distance, the Long Night and the Tian Yuan Layer are two cylinders close to each other, one large and one small.

The first floor of the space city occupied by Tian Yuan has a diameter of 500 meters alone, which is many times larger than the entire "Long Night", but most of the data in such a large space are still supporting the core of Tian Yuan, and the data of the entire Tian Gong, the moon and most of the spaceships all rely on these communication equipment to be collected here and processed by Tian Yuan. It also includes two fusion power stations, one of which is dedicated to Tian Yuan and the other to power these supporting facilities.

The data that Long Night currently has to process is only all the data in a "Long Night", and the energy is also supplied by the spaceship, so naturally there is no need for such a large volume.

However, Lan Ye did not directly enter the Tian Yuan layer, but took a small spaceship to enter the second layer of the "Tian Gong", because the maintenance work for Tian Yuan was originally carried out on the second layer, and there is a port here that can directly modify the core program of Tian Yuan, unless it involves hardware problems, few people will go to the first layer.
