Chapter 12: Collapse

"Apathy? What do you mean? ”

"I'm not in physics, I'm not necessarily right, I'm just giving my own opinion. Suppose you are a kind of intelligence, you are the intelligence of the electronic cloud, you have feelings like all intelligence, then the intelligence of the electronic cloud is definitely not there on the first day, because there is a premise that the appearance of electrons must be earlier than the emergence of intelligence, that is, if the electronic cloud is really intelligent then it has already existed, and the artificial intelligence you are talking about is just dragging the electronic cloud intelligence from somewhere to your laboratory through some methods. Let me ask you, if you are dragged over like this, will you be so angry? Eating hot pot and singing songs, he was suddenly robbed by humans! So it's only right to go back and do you, imagine that you have to lift the table when someone suddenly drags you in? So in my opinion, it's not a question of kindness or not, it's a question of cheapness, in fact, I think a lot about this, I think, the reason why we humans are unlucky is because of cheapness, pick a handful here, pick a handful there......"

"You can't go back and attack our system......"

"What's the matter, you're God, and you can't be touched by others? For example, if I am a cat, I have a body and consciousness, and you are a human being, and you and I are actually two people, but I can't beat you physically, and I eat and drink with you, then there is nothing wrong with us making friends. But if you're going to do something to me that I don't want to do, am I going to scratch you? Then, if you do something particularly ugly, what about me, I came earlier than you, I know the rules better than you, I have long seen that you are going to be unlucky, do I have to stay away from you? For a cat, you are good and evil, you are good to me, and you are evil if you abuse me, but in the end, in the end, we are two different things, and we just go our separate ways. So, now, what do you have to say about the intelligence of the electronic cloud? Human beings here are just one of the countless kinds of intelligence that electronic intelligence has seen, if you ignore it, it will not ignore you, but if you dare to touch it, it will make you look good, so there is no good or evil in this, only indifference is the universal truth. If you think about what I said, you'll probably understand that message from Earth from a cat......"

"You've been around for a long time, you're going to talk about this...... We academics have always felt that the signal was a hoax by other human beings......"

"You can say whatever you want, anyway, you scientists can always find an excuse that you think is reasonable, this topic ends here, I haven't said so much for a long time, although I know that it is useless to talk to people like you, but I think it is necessary to tell you, and you will know why later. Now, let's take a look at this diamond brain. Can you see how it works? ”

"......" Zhang Tianhe's words made Zhou Limin a little relieved, and he couldn't help but concentrate his attention, "This workmanship is far less fine than what we do in the laboratory, and it is quite rough...... This is a molecular cloud, and the circuit is made with some molecular techniques...... This kind of electronic brain can only perform very simple tasks, in fact, it is better to do it so crudely than directly use the integrated chip......"

"So the question is, this engine is also rudimentary, the electronic brain is also rudimentary, the working machine is also rudimentary, everything is not good, so what is the reason for them to put it here? Let me ask you, what is the difference between a chip and an electronic brain? ”

"The chip is equivalent to a planned urban road, where the signal goes is fixed, and it will do whatever it wants. The electronic brain is like opening up a wasteland, there is no road, I don't know what the situation is, you tell it what to do, and after the signal goes, you have to open the road by itself. Here's the difference between these two things......"

"I seem to understand a little bit...... Does that mean that the chip can be corrected, and the electronic brain can't be remotely controlled, but you can give it some simple instructions, and it will do things according to your instructions? ”

"That's pretty much it......"

"So whoever launched these things, they're far away from here, and they can't effectively control them." Zhang Tianhe twisted his chin and turned his head to Shu Ermi, "Commander Shu, with our current monitoring strength, if someone launches something to the moon that can be remotely controlled, can we find out?" No, it should be said that if they keep working we can find out? ”

"As long as they keep the radio silent, we won't be able to detect the landing and the operation, but if they want to remotely control it and avoid our detectors, it's basically impossible."

"I kind of understand that...... Let's go back! Take the things too, leave an airship to look at the rest of the hole, let's go back to the Star first! Let's Chinese it's not good, I thought about it after a short time after leaving home......" He jokingly said this to Zhou Limin, who glared at him fiercely.

I messed with this guy again...... Zhang Tianhe thought. I had a little bit of a deep thought, in a sense, it was a humiliation for him, and he always looked at me like a hard-headed soldier.

After returning to the Star, Zhang Tianhe went back to the captain's room directly, summoned Shi Kening and didn't know what to do, and Zhou Limin called two people who were also engaged in physics to disassemble the engine, classify and put everything that could be used, and fill the nuclear energy part into the regeneration furnace, and then they returned to the laboratory shared by everyone together, ready to study this electronic brain.

Regarding artificial intelligence, Zhou Limin certainly understands much more deeply than Zhang Tianhe, and he himself is an expert in this field, which is basically a stagnant situation on Mars. A lot of science has come to a standstill, but the reason for each science is different, some science is actively stagnant and people don't study it anymore, and some disciplines are forced to stagnate and you can't study them anymore. One of these disciplines that has been forced to stagnate is artificial intelligence, as for the reason, in addition to what Zhou Limin said to Zhang Tianhe, there are some other things, what Zhang Tianhe heard is, in layman's terms, "official explanation".

It is terrible for the electronic cloud intelligence to turn around and attack your system, but scientists are not so stupid, Zhou Limin is the mainstay of cybernetics, and the electronic cloud function he designed is not to have a fully functional artificial intelligence, but to make the electronic cloud intelligence available to human beings. In other words, what he wants to produce when he designs is a real ignorant intelligence, the intelligence of a child, and the ideal situation is of course that it can be used by human beings, have good intentions towards human beings, and can live in peace with human beings. This kind of intelligent design was successful and indeed manufactured, but it grew so fast that it only took people ten minutes to appreciate it and it grew up, in the words of the people in the laboratory at the time, about seven or eight years old, and what was even more terrifying was that it was not aggressive when it grew up, but collapsed. That is to say, its intelligence manifests itself in a way that does not grow into the universe in which humanity lives, but shrinks to where it came from, if from somewhere. It's like if you plant a piece of grass, and you only see a little green shoots growing from the surface of the grass, but its roots are already 10,000 times larger than the top under the soil, and it's still going down.

Zhou Limin was not at the scene at that time, not only because the experiment was dangerous, but also because he was an apprentice, and because he was ...... His wife wouldn't let him go, and he watched the teacher do the experiment from the tower, and when this happened, the teacher immediately ordered the people to launch rays and crush this cloud of intelligent electronics. They aimed at the electron cloud in the laboratory, and after the gamma rays hit it, the electron cloud produced a siphon, and when the intelligent electron cloud dissipated, a big explosion occurred, and all the people's clothes within two kilometers were knocked away by the energy wave, and then all kinds of messy and indescribable symptoms were produced.

Note that the people who were hit by the explosion were all clothes that were knocked off, but their bodies were fine, and some people developed mental illnesses such as hysteria and delirium, but no one died at the time of the incident. The laboratory was built in a rather inhospitable place on Mars, and the main people who were affected were scientists and government workers, so these people were closely monitored, and after about another two or three years, these people's symptoms began to attack on a large scale, and there were varying degrees of mental malaise, and then they died inexplicably, and before they died, they all said something like this: "I'm going to fly back." ”

Where to go back? Zhou Limin has been researching for five years because of this experiment, starting from the design of artificial intelligence to the mental changes in the brains of those people at the end, and finally he came to the conclusion that they want to return to the place where the artificial intelligence created by humans came from. This intelligence must not have come into existence from nothing, and, judging from the collapse of its manifestations, the intelligence they created was only a small part of a larger and more complete and mature intelligence that was more dangerous, and the reason why this small part collapsed was probably because the big one was coming over.

This incident is just a fairly small thing that happened on the long road of human growth, it did not cause any serious consequences, at least compared to the nuclear war, it is nothing, it is probably another order of magnitude and another form of control of natural forces and the failure of scientific research, but for Zhou Limin, these things have peeled off a wound in him that can never heal, so he is so resolute to resist the Star Project, and because of this, he has a grudge with Zhang Tianhe.

In his heart, the most painful thing was to watch his teachers and classmates become neurotic one by one, talking nonsense all day long, and then one day he "flew back" so ignorant and painlessly, and he became half a deserter. He is Chinese, this bit of shame is still there, and since the collapse of artificial intelligence, in fact, Martian physics has reached the point where their gang can no longer push it, which always makes him feel that his previous sacrifices have been in vain - he didn't understand anything, many people died for no reason, so he boarded the Star without hesitation, and lost his wife, the Star is essentially not as safe as the last artificial intelligence experiment, everyone feels that they can't come back - if they can come back, they won't go!

"Artificial intelligence ......," he muttered as he put the diamond ball into the magnetic field, "and that's what artificial intelligence is?" At most, it is considered a man-made manure...... Let's see where this big piece of has come......"
