The strong intelligence project is well prepared, and the team, the core team, has everything in control. Not many people know about this, and even most of the people in the AI lab are doing work they don't know about - they are just a small part of this huge project.

Tiger. Stone's intention was to conceal the results for the time being—until they were able to protect it if they were able to do so. It is foreseeable that there will be countless institutions and governments that want to master the real intelligence. The benefits in this can lead to chaos.

The rest of the team agreed with Tiger's idea.

Their research is driven by two things: scholarship and profit. The purpose of scholarship is almost achieved; And the benefits, their huge investment, have not yet received a return. Until then, the AI has to serve them, the Brotherhood, a benefit organization, and then slowly transition to humans.

On a plane from the United States to Malagasy.

Meng Qian and other core members of the group are checking the list of volunteers: two men and two women. Age from 25 to 28 years, normal IQ, ...... ethnicity Hybrid. Strictly speaking, the number of pure blacks in Malagasy is very small, and the natives are more of South Asian descent.

"In terms of data, they all meet the requirements." Meng Qian made a judgment.

"After uploading brain data, will the original memory still be retained?" Madeleine had a question—they had discussed it before, and there were two lines of argument.

"No, it won't." Meng Qian is sure, "We just need the way the brain works, and the upload is equivalent to a formatted hard drive, which is blank and filled in by us." ”

"Second, it's not just one person's data, it's about these four people. Prototypes require more data that is fused to achieve true independence. The level of thinking. ”

"I'm leaning towards David's answer." Tiger agrees with him, too. He was excited: "I've calculated that it's the equivalent of creating a whole new life. We are the parents who teach it to grow. ”

This group of people is immersed in the excitement of becoming "God's parents".

Forever, or 10,000 years old?

It's impossible to predict how things will be better or worse, but Meng Qian knows that this is the inevitable path of technology, and even if they don't, someone else – Google, IBM, China or the United States – will already be doing it.

Arriving at the destination during the discussion, the airport has set aside a hangar for them to use, and the staff is taking out the equipment in the plane and carefully installing it.

Meng Qian and the others went to meet with the volunteers, who were under the watchful eye of the guards. Their faces were filled with confusion about their future fate. And the fear that can't be hidden.

"Where did they come from?" David. Freeman asked.

"Prisoner." "The 'freedom fighters' who are rebel commanders and instigated by foreign investors in the civil war, like the instigators of Libya and Ukraine, have failed to achieve the goal of the people. The Lord went to war, and the new government was formed after the autumn to settle accounts. ”

Traitor is a capital offense in the local area, and although Hamid abolished torture such as burying alive and beheading, death is inevitable.

Tiger had a few brief conversations with them in French, promising to fulfill their wishes: to leave a sum of money for their families, wives and daughters to live on; exempt relatives from joint and several liability; Or let yourself use the traditional national burial method......

It's better than being shot in a row by the government and leaving nothing behind.

"They're ready." Tiger said to them.

"Let's prepare, too." Meng Qian said. The equipment has been unloaded, but they are the professionals who really understand.

Meng Qian was responsible for debugging biological reagents, Madeleine was responsible for checking the prototype, and David was checking the electrical signal to digital signal input device...... Everything was going on in order, and they had done a lot of drills before they came. Familiar with the completion of the road.

Wait until the next day, when everyone has rested, the official begins.

Four volunteers have been secured to their seats. Take medication to relieve pain and put on a helmet full of nerve sensors. The other end is connected to the prototype.

"Prototype reagents." Meng Qian handed a syringe to David.

David with extensive medical experience. Freeman, the liquid will be injected. into the veins of the first volunteer. As the blood flows throughout the body.

"All data is normal." Madeleine reports.

Tiger looked at Meng Qian, and he nodded: "You can start." ”

"Start uploading!" Tiger finally decides - the biological prototype is running, reading the volunteer's brain, uploading his spirit, and he is in a half-dead state.

There was no pain, no sensation, and the data transfer ended after fifteen minutes.

"Save successfully." Madeleine, who was staring at the data, sent back the results - it took countless people to develop this medium.

The start didn't make them feel wasted, and they continued with the upload work of volunteers No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4, and the first phase of the trial was completed after more than an hour.

"Relax!" Meng Qian said to the other team members who were a little nervous, after so many years of preparation, success or failure is a matter of success - although he knows that the success rate is not high, but who wants to fail?

However, Meng Qian is relaxed, everything is currently running in the plan, and the artificial intelligence small V connected through the satellite network is also implementing the comparison and analysis results.

"It's all within the range of the simulation experiment." Xiao V affirmed.

"Shall we go back to the next step, or shall we be here?" Tiger asked everyone - they didn't need to ask, they couldn't wait.

All the tools needed are here, and everyone's spirit has been highly concentrated, and the state is very good.

So they continued.

"We need to make the most basic rules for AI first." Tiger is very organized, and the three laws of robots that were joked about earlier are used by them and add more conditions.

After all, it is comparable to human intelligence, and it also has supercomputing power, and it is doubtful whether AI can be controlled. So the first strike is stronger, specifying that it runs on the ground rules.

As soon as it touches the rules, the result will be termination - if the machines have feelings, they will definitely be afraid of blackouts - and the wires will be in human hands.

Once the rule has been successfully written, it is ready to go. The prototype system is data-based, and humans cannot decipher it for the time being, unless one day humans can completely crack the brain's code.

The prototype is based on this infigurable operating principle, operating in the virtual electronic world...... It takes a while, more than a dozen hours.

"It's going well." Meng Qian drew the results of the data observations.

"Let's rest first." Tiger said there was still such a long time to go, and it was impossible for them to control it. The intelligence that is brewing can only struggle on the platform they provide.

It's not wrong to say that it was struggling, because in the middle of the night, a prototype went down, and when it restarted again, all the data was in chaos, and this group failed.

The remaining three groups were still in motion, with only a flickering point of light on the dark screen, as if a small boat struggling in a storm could be destroyed at any moment.

Before dawn, another machine went down, and after restarting, it still failed...... The team members couldn't sleep, so they had to pace in the huge computer room.

"I need to change some parameters." After Meng Qian saw the results given by Xiao V, he was not at ease: "Try to let go of the rules and let them run on their own." ”

"Hurry up." They all agreed.

But good fortune did not come and continued to fail. The rest - the final prototype showed that it was running, but when they entered the command in the command window, there was no response.

While everyone was scratching their ears and cheeks, Xiao V checked the steps and prompted, "Reload the computer language system." ”

"Oh! Forgot! Meng Qian patted his head, walked to the computer, and tapped on the keyboard: "The prototype is connected to the mainframe database, and it will be disconnected after restarting." ”

"As long as we connect it manually, it will be able to use the data belonging to 'Natalia'......" Meng Qian pressed enter, and the cursor of the command window continued to flash.

Everyone stared at the screen, breathing as if they were still, and after a few seconds, the command window flashed with one word: Hello!

They held their breath, and Meng Qian typed: Who are you?

"I don't know. Do you know who I am? screen display.

"You are," Meng Qian typed two words and thought for a moment: "Natalia, we created you." ”

"Creation?" AI looks for limited data in databases, "Machines? Artificial intelligence? Am I what you've always aspired to achieve? ”

"Yes!" When Meng Qian typed these lines, everyone was already cheering and celebrating, hugging, and kissing...... This wish has finally come true! (To be continued.) )
