Chapter 398: Visiting the Laboratory
"Xiao Yuan, you come with me, I'll take you to visit the laboratory, and then introduce you to everyone."
Smith enthusiastically took Xiao Yuan out of the office, walked around the laboratory, and introduced him to some of the projects that are being carried out in the laboratory, as well as some of the equipment in the laboratory Xiao Yuan followed Smith around the laboratory, and found that this laboratory is called the Network Chaos System Laboratory, but not everyone is doing research on network chaos systems, and the research design of the researchers is very wide, such as artificial intelligence and network information mining, and there are also some marginal disciplines, such as genetics.
"Why genetics." Xiao Yuan was puzzled by Smith's research on these two subjects, so he asked.
"After modeling the Internet through chaotic systems, I found that from a macro point of view, the Internet reflects certain biological characteristics, and one of the most basic characteristics of organisms in nature is their genes, so I set up this research project to see if I can model the Internet through genetics, and if I can get it, maybe I will also open a genetic study, and then see if I can evolve the Internet into a real creature from this perspective." Smith said.
Smith's words brought Xiao Yuan a huge brainstorming, and a scene subconsciously appeared in his mind, the Internet has become a giant life form, every computer connected to the Internet is like a cell of this life form, data transmission channels, such as optical cables, network cables, and even wireless data links, have become the blood vessels of this life form, and data is like blood flowing rapidly in it...... and this life form will evolve......
"Oh my God, what kind of spectacular scene this is, if this life form evolves to have its own intelligence one day......" Xiao Yuan thought of this, and couldn't help but shudre, and instantly thought of some scenes from some science fiction movies......
"Xiao, I'll take you to see the most important research project in the lab, the network chaos system." Smith didn't notice Xiao Yuan's abnormality and continued to walk forward with him.
"Professor Smith, I have a question for you." Xiao Yuan said.
"What's the doubt?" Smith asked.
"I noticed that your research has always looked at the global Internet as a whole, so have you ever thought about establishing a network chaos model for a certain part of the Internet, if you can, will there be multiple network chaos life forms on the Internet as a whole, and these life forms will evolve according to your theory, if intelligence appears, then how will their intelligence exist, and how will they get along with each other, whether it is peace or war, and if there is war, how will human beings be affected? Thinking further, if the Internet really evolves to produce intelligence, will it try to dominate humanity in turn, as some science fiction novels or movies say? Xiao Yuan said.
Smith stopped, stared at Xiao Yuan for a moment with a pair of blue eyes in deep eye sockets, and then said: "Fighting is the instinct of all living beings, even if there is no intelligence, there will be a struggle between living beings, as long as there is a struggle, there will be harm, as for whether the Internet will eventually evolve to the extent you said, how intelligence will exist, and whether it will rule over human beings in turn, no one knows, even if one day, I think I will have died because I am too old at that time, and you are still young, maybe you will see it, but not necessarily, To know that life takes time to evolve, who knows. ”
"Let's go, don't think about the future, I'll take you to see what we're doing now." Finally, Smith shrugged and said.
Xiao Yuan also laughed, feeling that what he had just considered was too sci-fi, so he also threw those messy ideas out of his mind and followed Smith to see his research results.

"Xiao, the image on the screen in front of you is drawn by the evolution of the network chaos system we have established based on the global Internet, in which the blue and green light spots and lines are the signs of network health, the red light spots and lines indicate that the network has problems, and the yellow light spots and lines are in the middle state, look carefully at this picture, you will see that the current development of the Internet is very good as a whole, but there will also be some sub-healthy and unhealthy places, there are many reasons for this situation, But one of the big reasons is vandalism, and most of these people are undoubtedly hackers, oh no, they should be called black hats, or hackers. Smith and Xiao Yuan stood in front of a large screen, Smith explained.
"So, what are the characteristics of life in this system?" Xiao Yuan asked.
"At the moment, all that has been shown is some self-adjustment and repair in the face of damage, and the immunity to the same damage that has evolved from this." Smith said.
"According to my understanding, what you see is a macro state, if you look at it from a micro point of view, once there is a problem with the network in an area, the people who use this area network will definitely not sit idly by, but will fix these problems as quickly as possible, just like our body has a wound, our own cells will repair the wound, immunity refers to these problems will allow people to avoid the recurrence of problems that have occurred in the process of using the computer network, Or maybe cybersecurity technology will make progress in order to solve some insecurity problems. Xiao Yuan said.
"In fact, this thing is not magical at all, but in the whole system, we are in a microscopic position, like cells, and few people look at the whole system from a macroscopic perspective." Smith said.
"Well, I see." Xiao Yuan nodded and said.
"In addition, from this figure, it can also reflect the vitality of the development of a certain stage in time and a certain area in space, and through the accelerated evolution of vitality silver, the potential of Internet development in a certain area can be predicted in advance, and this potential prediction will play a good guiding role in the investment behavior of some commercial companies. Smith said, pointing to the area where Huaxia is located on the screen, and said, "If you look at the area where ancient Huaxia is located, the vitality factor has grown rapidly in recent times. ”
"Horry, you bring up the vitality factor change map of the Huaxia region." At this point, Smith instructed a researcher named Horry.
Horry listened to Smith's instructions and operated on the computer, and a line chart was displayed on the big screen, and the line on the chart has always maintained an upward trend, but in the last year, especially in the last three months, the upward trend of the line has suddenly become steeper.
"Seeing this line chart, no one will doubt the development potential of Huaxia Internet, which contains huge business opportunities that many companies in the United States covet." Smith said.
As a reborn, Xiao Yuan naturally has no doubts about the development potential of Huaxia's Internet, but the vitality factor in the last three months has suddenly become steep, that is to say, something must have happened in these three months to cause Huaxia's Internet vitality to increase significantly, so what happened.
"Why is there a sharp upward trend?" So, Xiao Yuan asked.
