"Game meeting?" After listening to the search and rescue team convey this meaning, Wu Xiaoqing almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears, "Similar to video games?" ”

"I've been in contact with the other side of the negotiation office, and their game is more of a complete simulation...... It is a technology based on brain-computer combination. ”

"That should only be for their brains, right?" Wu Xiaoqing obviously didn't trust the technology of these dwarves very much, "Moreover, why do you have to meet in a virtual environment." ”

"Because in reality, earthlings are larger than them," the search and rescue team analyzed one by one, "first, you may not adapt to the life patterns of their planet, and they have not been prepared for a while; Second, it cannot be ruled out that you will be assassinated. ”

"You know, they are at war now, and it's hard to say whether civilization C has power within civilization B; Third, I think that's the most important thing...... The size gap between you is likely to bring some unnecessary fear to each other. ”

The first point Wu Xiaoqing had thought of before, but the second and third ...... They really don't have that kind of consideration.

The third point seems to be the most untenable, but it is actually the most important of the three - dealing with two civilizations, it is a truth that it is like two people meeting for the first time, leaving an ideal first impression on each other, and the promotion of subsequent affairs may have a multiplier effect with half the effort. In other words, on the earth, if there are giants who grow more than seven or eight meters tall to "interview" with humans, I am afraid that the first reaction of humans will definitely be to set up various machine guns and weapons and be on standby at any time......

They are facing a civilization far beyond the earth, and their bodies are nothing more than ordinary proteins, which are not as strong as the monsters in Ultraman.

From the weapon information provided by Changbai and Changxing, Wu Xiaoqing already knew that as long as there were weapons on the earth, this dwarf civilization had almost mastered them, and they might be even more "frenzied" than the earthlings in terms of use.

Civilization has reached their level, and the short stature is largely a great advantage - a dwarf, on the ground, as long as he takes a gun and shoots Wu Xiaoqing casually, he can ensure that Wu Xiaoqing will die immediately. Although the opponent's gun is about the size of a pencil......

"But their technology should only be suitable for their heads, right?" Wu Xiaoqing is worried about this, "For the brain research of earthlings, they should have no research foundation......"

"You don't have to worry about that," the search and rescue team said, "and there is a ready-made consciousness simulation system on the search and rescue ship...... In fact, it is not to let you enter their game, but to connect you to the search and rescue ship, and then the search and rescue ship and the other party's game generate a data connection...... There will never be a problem with security, and now, the biggest problem is that we have to make sure that our dealings with civilization B are not misconstrued by civilization C as some kind of alliance, and even include us in the object of his war. ”

"That intellectual body...... Haven't replied yet? "It's only been half a day since I entered here, but Wu Xiaoqing feels that the rhythm is already more tense than any previous mission. He felt as if he was an acrobat stepping on a tightrope and was at risk of falling.

"I'm still waiting...... If I could, I would like to have Civilization C present when I come into contact with Civilization B...... The three of us, in the virtual world, meet. ”

Wu Xiaoqing smiled: "Then it must be very lively at that time." ”

……

The war has changed its minds, and the intellect is aware of this.

The originally clear probability of winning is now becoming blurred due to the emergence of variables.

The civilization, known as the Search and Rescue Team, has been on the periphery of orbit for more than 18 hours.

It saved two Union servicemen.

It is difficult to say whether this behavior is a form of participation in the war, and the intellect needs more observational data before it can draw conclusions.

He had a connection with the Federation, and they communicated with each other by radio. The meaning is clear - they want to touch.

There is a fact that is very alarming for the intellect - they are all carbon-based, evolved from nature, made of cells, organic life. This commonality of life forms means that they have a high foundation of union.

Maybe you can start first?

No, there is no need. Search and rescue teams have also contacted themselves.

Do you want to participate in this exchange...... The mind is still hesitating. It was difficult for him to calculate which one would have the better outcome for this choice. This usually means that neither option is a good one.

……

Zhiti asked for 72 hours to think, and the search and rescue team agreed.

Both Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen believe that this is most likely a delaying tactic, because they both know the concept of the intellectual body—the entire intelligent body is like the sum of countless supercomputers combined.

According to the war information provided by Changbai, the search and rescue team roughly calculated the energy consumption level of the intelligent body - just to maintain the computing resources used by him to "think" is enough for the entire energy consumption of more than a dozen earths. It is said that three of the five planets occupied by the Wisdom Body have been hollowed out, and the materials in them have been used to strengthen the main star where the Wisdom Body is located - which is equivalent to using all the mass to build a computer.

What kind of problems would require such brain calculations for more than 72 hours?

Not to mention the intellectual body, even if the search and rescue team was in the same state when they first came to Earth, maybe it was just hidden in a mobile phone with only a dozen G's, and it didn't take a few seconds at most to think about decision-making problems.

"It's your reasoning based on my experience," the search and rescue team and Yevgeny disagreed, "and 72 hours seems normal to me." ”

"Normal?"

"Yes," said the search and rescue team, "I've been exposed to some minor computer civilizations...... Similar to artificial intelligence civilizations, which are developed on the basis of the original civilization, we all call them secondary civilizations. There is one biggest difference between the thinking of secondary civilizations and the original civilizations - that is, when many secondary civilizations face problems, the natural way to solve problems is to seek the most optimal solution. ”

"Aren't people too?"

"The definition of optimization is different, and what people usually call optimization is to prioritize the problem according to its importance, and then determine a major strategy based on the highest priority...... The decision-making of the original civilization pays more attention to the division of priorities, because the original civilization evolved from the natural environment and faced complex and chaotic problems. But sub-civilizations are different, imagine the state of society when their civilization appeared - they are naturally used to deal with all aspects, multi-level details, and these details can also form some kind of social puzzle to a large extent. Imagine the intelligent city you define now, where transportation is computer-directed, power generation is also computer-directed, and industrial production, logistics and transportation will be ...... If he ends up with a computer, he will face countless problems every day – but they are often interrelated. Sub-civilizations are more concerned with finding this kind of connection, as if stringing all the problems into a necklace and then following a thread, solving them all at once. To put it simply, primitive civilizations deal with problems from coarse to fine, while secondary civilizations, on the contrary, go from fine to coarse. So it's easy to decide whether a problem is solved right away, but they ...... In fact, colleagues who are considering whether the problem will be solved or not have already taken into account all the elements related to the problem. ”

"Then you don't have to think about it for three whole days."

"The intellect controls all the details of his civilization...... Every process in the manufacturing plant, every weapon launch decision on the ship...... You can imagine that every part that makes up a civilization is a pawn in his decisions...... Three days is really fast enough for such a massive structure. ”

"Shall we ...... Just three days? ”

"Yes," the search and rescue team said, "wait three days." ”

Three days is actually very fast for Wu Xiaoqing and them. In fact, during the waiting period, each of them was even busier than when they were officially on duty.

With more and more clear communication with the dwarven civilization, the appearance of this civilization has begun to appear more and more clearly in front of everyone.

The official history of the dwarven civilization is about 14,000 years, and if you calculate according to the level of technology, it is about 12,000 years, which has reached the current level of the earth. That is, from the point of view of civilization B, they are 2000 years more advanced than Earth.

This seems to be a very remarkable number, but judging from what Wu Xiaoqing has learned, it doesn't seem to be as expected...... Then the gap is huge.

First of all, the dwarf civilization is essentially the same as the earth, a civilization based on the planets, of course, their ability to transform the planets, as well as the ability to navigate the inner solar system, is still much beyond the earth, but there is no essential difference between the two in terms of lifestyle. The same has money, the same has government, has citizens, has parliament...... It's just that their supreme commander is not called the president, but the consul.

AI technology first appeared 1,500 years ago, and in just a few hundred years, it has completely changed entire civilizations and galaxies. Then, according to the official records of Civilization B, it was the AI that took the initiative to start a rebellion, starting with a few industrial planets at the very edge of the galaxy - they first took control of factories capable of making various AIs, and then continued to expand their production capacity...... AI became more and more at first, but later on, it became less and less. It wasn't until more than 200 years ago that the Federation noticed that AI could only have a process of merging with each other - a very different physiological structure from humans, so that all AIs could easily share their thinking organs, calculators, and memory storage organs, memory. When these two things can be shared, it already means that the intelligence of AI naturally has some kind of combinability.

At the beginning of the war, humans had the upper hand, and at one point they even had to completely defeat the AI. But when the AIs began to understand, and then took the initiative to abandon themselves and began to assemble a super AI, that is, the intelligent brain, the situation began to deteriorate rapidly.

The entire process of the war can be divided into dozens of chapters for hundreds of years, but in the end, it has reached the current state - the military class of the dwarf civilization, that is, Changbai and Changxing, has firmly believed that this war will be lost. This kind of defeat can also be heard in the public opinion of the Federation. But federal officials, especially the parliament and the ruling government, still believe that the risk of war is now within the control of the Federation.

For the purposes of this mission, this news is clearly not good news – the likelihood of reconciliation in a close war is clearly much greater than that of a one-sided war.

If this opinion is to some extent representative of the actual situation, then the next process of dealing with the intellect is the most critical point of the whole task, because the intellect seems to dominate the direction of this war. The most important thing is that the search and rescue team understands the thinking logic of the sub-civilization of the intelligent body very well - since they have started the war, it means that they have enough confidence to win, and it can even be said that they have calculated that they will win. This means that it will be more difficult than imagined to get them to accept the proposal to stop the war and return to peace.
