Chapter 38: Echo
"Artificial intelligence?" Wu Zong reflected at once and looked at Zhang Yi: "You did this yourself?"
"That's right," Zhang nodded, "Actually, I made Echo a long time ago, and I'm just writing her out again here." ”
"Just like Siri?" Wu Zong thought of the intelligent voice system that comes with the Apple phone.
"Not exactly," Zhang Yi paced out from behind the robotic arm, "SIri and AI of the same type as him will only analyze and solve the problem according to the current situation, and will partially learn independently. ”
"But that's not the case with Echo," Zhang Yi said, "In addition to self-learning, Echo will also calculate your next behavior based on the user's own habits and data analysis, and give the optimal solution." ”
"What do you mean," Wu Zong didn't understand too much.
Just as Zhang Yi was still thinking about how to explain to Wu Zong in layman's terms, Echo's sweet and elegant female voice sounded: "To put it simply, Siri can only tell you that it's raining outside now, and it is recommended that you bring an umbrella out, but I can tell you that it will rain tomorrow and you need to continue to bring an umbrella." ”
"In a way, I'm ahead of time, sir. Echo said.
Although Echo's voice was soft, this sentence made Wu Zong feel a little creepy.
This sentence may sound very mysterious, but if you think about it a little, you can realize that humans can also 'get ahead of time', such as buying a winning lottery ticket, subconsciously stepping over a manhole cover that may tip over, and just avoiding the garbage thrown down from the upper floor.
But these actions of human beings are inseparable from one element - luck, or 'sixth sense'.
What's really scary about this sentence is that Echo far surpasses humans, she can synthesize various algorithms, perform calculations that the human brain can't achieve in a very short time, and truly 'stay ahead of time'.
In other words, Echo is able to turn all of the 'sixth senses' into reality, which is known as 'prophecy'.
This is very scary, to give a simple example, you must know that it is impossible for people not to fall in this life, it may be to step on the air, it may be to trip, but if Echo has legs, it will calculate the probability of falling at the same time as every step, and take the optimal solution, as long as it is not deliberately set up with complex levels, then Echo will never fall.
"If that's really the case," Wu Zong took a deep breath and looked at the case that shimmered with blue light: "Then you are already a superior intelligent existence beyond humans." ”
"You've won the prize, Mr. Wu Zong. Echo said modestly.
Zhang Yi smiled, very satisfied with Echo's performance, turned around and walked to the cabinet in the depths of the room again, turned his back to Wu Zong and said while rummaging through the cabinet: "It's a pity that the network is no longer available now, and it is impossible to hack the military and government networks with the civilian network alone, otherwise she can learn more knowledge and become smarter."
Wu Zong walked in front of the six twisted mechanical arms, did not speak, and made a simple movement to the mechanical arms - reaching out.
Immediately after, I saw that the robotic arms slowly dispersed under Echo's control, and one of the robotic arms put the .45 warhead that was caught in the claw in the palm of Wu Zong's hand.
"It's smart enough. Wu Zong looked at the warhead in his hand and was secretly frightened.
You must know that all the artificial intelligence that can be seen on the market at present is issued with verbal instructions, but he didn't say anything just now, and Echo knew what he wanted to do with just one simple action of his own.
Wu Zong knew that, in a sense, Echo was no longer a computer that could only do calculations, but a brain that could really think.
However, what makes Wu Zong feel more incredible than Echo is Zhang Yi, listening to his words, this genius has already designed this level of intelligence, but he did not use it to make a profit, you must know how much shock this explosive artificial intelligence technology will bring to the technology world once it comes out, and then fame and fortune will roll in, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang will burn money every day for three lifetimes.
Thinking of this, Wu Zong opened his mouth and shouted, "Zhang Yi,"
"Huh?" Zhang Yi seemed to have finally found what he was looking for, and turned around to answer Wu Zong: "What's wrong?"
"Are you really making the Echo just to make it provide better help to the prosthetic?" Wu Zong asked.
Zhang Yi walked over with a flannel package, nodded and said, "Sort of." ”
"Sort of, right?" Wu Zong was a little puzzled.
Zhang Yiqi put the flannel wrap on the table, muttered for a while, and did not choose to answer Wu Zong's question, but said, "Try this?"
Wu Zong heard that Zhang Yi had something to say, but he really wanted Zhang Yi not to answer now, so Wu Zong simply stopped asking, but followed Zhang Yi's words and said, "What is this?" ”
"Something made for you," Zhang said, unwrapping his mouth at the beginning.
"Tailor-made for me?" Wu Zong was puzzled: "We have only met for less than an hour. ”
Saying that, Zhang Yi also unwrapped the package, and took out a lot of scattered metal plates from it, which were obviously also parts of a mechanical arm, and he took out a relatively large plate and showed it to Wu Zong: "After I saw the situation of your left arm, I had to admit that fate is wonderful, this thing is simply tailor-made for you." ”
Wu Zong saw that there were many small lines inlaid on the inside of this plate, and at one end of the line, a metal sheet the size of a fingernail was connected.
Zhang Yi pointed to the metal sheet and said, "This is the human body's microcurrent receiving plate, which can accept your nerve reflexes." ”
"Your brain responds to the outside world by sending nerve currents that are transmitted to the nerves in your arm, which in turn are transmitted to the Echo, who receives the information and responds reasonably. Zhang Yi explained with a gesture.
Wu Zong roughly understood, but was still a little puzzled: "But my brain reaction will be one step ahead of Echo, so won't it cause desynchronization?"
Zhang Yi shook his head after hearing this, and chuckled: "If nerve conduction and analysis are compared to sprinting, then your brain is like an ordinary person, Echo is like a national first-class athlete, you can run half a step first, but Echo will immediately keep up with your pace, your thinking limit speed threshold is far less than Echo, in other words, Echo can slow down, but you can't go faster." ”
Zhang Yi's words made Wu Zong a little embarrassed, and he muttered: "Then I'm not half a step faster." ”
"That half-step is only a few milliseconds, and this robotic arm can also speed up your nerve reactions, which can further compensate for your nerve conduction speed. Zhang Yi shrugged his shoulders and explained Wu Zong's concerns.
"Can it also increase nerve conduction velocity?" Wu Zong felt like he was watching a science fiction movie for a moment.
Zhang was not surprised by Wu Zong's reaction, and laughed: "It's complicated to say, but in fact, it is the same as the basic principle of action of the sports energy bracelet that improves endurance sold all over the street, this technology has been available since 2017, of course, my requirements for this thing are stricter than those of the sports bracelet." ”
Wu Zong was despised by Zhang Yiji twice in a row, and felt that he might be more like a fool if he asked again, so he decided to close his mouth and just listen to Zhang Yi.
"The reason why it is said to be tailor-made for you is because of this board," Zhang Yi pointed to the metal sheet: "This thing must be connected to the connective connection tissues of each movable joint in order to fully receive nerve signals and exert its effect." ”
Then, he spread his hands: "It's a pity that I didn't have the courage to cut my own muscle tissue without anesthetic, and I didn't fit all the metal plates into my arm correctly. ”
Wu Zong finally knew why Zhang Yi said that this robotic arm was 'tailor-made' for himself, because all the muscle tissue in his left arm was frozen and crushed, even if the muscles inside were not frozen, they completely lost their vitality and were removed by Li Bing, but the tissues at the joint may have been magically retained because they were close to the bone, and thanks to Li Bing's hope at that time, he did not immediately amputate himself.
And Zhang Yi poked his joints before, probably because of the strong recovery power, Wu Zong felt the pain of those joint tissues recovering.
He nodded inwardly, it seems that it is really a coincidence that he will not be equipped with this robotic arm today.
Wu Zong made up his mind and turned his body to the left side of Zhang: "Come on." ”
When Zhang Yi saw that Wu Zong agreed, he not only smiled, but nodded vigorously and boasted: "I know that you are not an ordinary person, and I know that you are definitely courageous and powerful when you fight outside ......the building."
"Don't be in a hurry to put on a top hat for me yet," Wu Zong was made a little crying and laughing by the excited Zhang Yi: "In case it doesn't work, I may return it." ”
"Impossible," Zhang Yi had absolute confidence: "It's not good, I immediately dismantled the Echo, and I will never do this research in the future." ”
"Mr. Wu Zong," Hearing Zhang Yi say this, Echo's calm female voice suddenly sounded again: "This item was completely designed by Mr. Zhang Yi and has nothing to do with me. ”
Wu Zong and Zhang Yi were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
"Your desire to survive is really strong," Wu Zong teased Echo with a smile.
"Please stand on the metal plate," Echo said as the arm spread out, letting go of the metal plate in the center of the room.
Wu Zong stood on the metal plate as instructed, and at the same time, Zhang Yi spread out the pile of mechanical arm parts, placed them at Wu Zong's feet and retreated to the side.
Then, the mechanical arm stretched out, supported Wu Zong's left hand, and slowly lifted it up, keeping Wu Zong's arm parallel to the ground.
"It might hurt a little," Echo reminded.
"It's okay," Wu Zong nodded: "Come on." ”
With a slight sizzling sound, the six robotic arms controlled by the artificial intelligence Echo worked in an orderly manner like a gracefully dancing snake.
