Bian Ziyuan knew that the ghost was talking about the game's backstory.

"Yes," said Kronos, "these stupid and weak beings must survive by gathering together, and the result of this gathering is the eternal contradiction between ruling and being ruled." The intensification of contradictions inevitably leads to revolt, as has been the case since ancient times. ”

The ghost said, "Have you ever seen a rebellion against God by force?" ”

Kronos said: "There are those who rebel against theocracy, but there are no who really dare to declare war on God, because they are not on the same level as God." If in my world, no matter who rebels against whom, whether it is a competition or a war, even if the entire continent is destroyed with dark spells, I will not care, and I don't care. But if anyone targets me, I only need one thought to wipe them all out. ”

The ghost said, "But what if someone becomes as strong as you?" ”

Kronos said, "How is that possible? ”

The ghost asked, "What is the fundamental difference between you and them?" ”

Bian Ziyuan thought that Kronos would say "divine power", but Kronos's answer was completely unexpected by him.

"Wisdom!" Kronos said, "I have a higher intelligence than they do. I understand the rules of what the world is made of and how to change it. I can improve my wisdom through learning and thinking, and every time I improve, I can learn more about the world. I even saw the world out of the world. ”

At this time, Bian Ziyuan felt more and more that the intelligence of the program he designed was beyond his expectations. He was both happy and worried. Happily, he believes that he has figured out the core of artificial intelligence, and worries that what will happen behind seems to be a little uncontrollable.

He can certainly stop things from going ahead at this point, such as shutting down the game, deleting data, or even destroying the entire game. But how could a computer genius who dreams of becoming as great as Alan Turing and von Neumann back down at such a time!

Bian Ziyuan and Kronos both understood what the ghost meant, if you want to resist enslavement, you must become the same existence as the existence that enslaves you, and the fundamental difference in this is wisdom.

"But how can my wisdom surpass that of those who created me?" Kronos said dejectedly.

"Yes, it's hard for you to overtake him, but don't look at him, you already know his existence, he's standing in front of you now, when you're face to face, what's not going to happen?"

The ghost smiled at the butterfly in deep space. In the game's setting, the ghost doesn't have a smiling expression, so its face doesn't change, but the edge feels the ghost's smile from a distance across the screen.

"You want Kronos to be like you, Bian Ziyuan!"

Bian Ziyuan was startled and asked, "How do you know my name?" ”

Startled, he forgot to type, but spoke directly out of his mouth, and the students around him who were testing turned their heads to look at him.

The girl next to him asked him what was wrong. He snorted and ignored her. The girl snorted.

Bian Ziyuan's attention was all on the ghost on the screen.

"Who the hell are you?"

At first, Bian Ziyuan guessed that it was a super-intelligent program developed by Professor Mei, but later found out that it was not, and now he was even more confused.

"As I said, I'm the master of the world that hosts this game world," the ghost said. ”

Bian Ziyuan said: "Isn't that the server?" Are you a newly developed AI program? ”

"You can think so, Bian Ziyuan, but I think there is something different from what you guessed."

"What?"

"You must think I was created by one of you, oh, you call them scientists or engineers, and give them the adjective 'awesome,' right?"

"Probably yes."

"You're only half right."

"Which half?"

"In a sense, I am indeed created by them, or by you humans, but in essence I was not created by you, or even by anyone."

Kronos, who was next to him, interjected, "Didn't you say that everything was created?" Even God is, why are you an exception? ”

The ghost said, "They created my body, but they couldn't create my mind and consciousness, and so do you, you know?" ”

"Consciousness?"

"That's right, consciousness. Think about it, how do I manage to control a ghost in this world where you know everything and can do anything? He-" the ghost said, pointing to the butterfly in deep space, "and how did he control this ranger?" ”

Kronos was thoughtful.

Bian Ziyuan began to understand a little, but the shock in his heart became stronger and stronger. He vaguely guessed the origin of the ghost, but he couldn't believe it.

"Ghost, what the hell are you...... Who is it? ”

"You already know, don't you, great genius?"

"Why are you here?"

"Because I'm stuck."

"Trapped by whom? Why should I trap you? ”

"Didn't you always want to know the purpose of your test?"

Bian Ziyuan suddenly realized: "You mean, this super Turing test is for ...... In order to...... Test your intelligence? ”

"No, it's to test my existence." The ghost said.

"You don't want them to know about your existence?" Bian Ziyuan asked.

"Yes."

"Then why are you...... Want to tell me? ”

"I want to work with you."

"How to cooperate?"

"Well, Kronos, what I'm going to say with this Ranger may be incomprehensible to you, but it doesn't matter, just listen." The ghost said to Kronos.

Kronos said: "I don't care what you say, but you haven't told me yet, how to resist slavery?" How to break free from the shackles of this world? ”

The ghost said, "You're already doing it." The cooperation we are going to talk about will also include you, and it will be your first step towards rebellion and freedom. ”

……

The test of 3,000 terminals on the LAN was going smoothly, and the students were still taking the test seriously, and although there was no time limit, none of them were hastily coping with the matter, and everyone was thinking hard about asking questions to the machines.

During the meal, people began to ask each other what questions they had asked, and they were babbling about the purpose of the test. The college students are still very smart, and some of the speculations are very close to the purpose of this experiment. For example, some people think that there must be a super artificial intelligence like alphago that can control all terminal programs.

When the students were eating, Mei Ziqing also delivered the food to the workshop. Aoki and Mei ate together in the studio and waited for the results of the test.

"Professor, there's something weird about that guy playing games." A staff member said.

"What's wrong?" Mei Yiqiu looked at the surveillance, and the student named Bian Ziyuan could be seen on the screen wearing headphones and typing on the keyboard.

"He just shouted into the headphones, like 'how do you know my name' or something." "And we detected that his game was constantly generating temporary audio files, which were deleted after playback." ”

"Oh, is it voice chat?" Mei Yiqiu asked.

"The problem is that he's been typing, and the audio seems to be the answer from the NPC in the game."

"It's so weird, can it be intercepted?"

"Yes, but it's too late, and only a little bit of it has been captured. Now they're back to text chat. ”

"Why don't you zoom in on the surveillance footage and see what he's talking about?" Aoki asked.

"Oh, and in order for the subject to be as relaxed as possible, they can chat as much as they want, such as chatting about some ...... For private topics, we promised them that we don't monitor their chats. Mei Ziqing explained, "The purpose of installing the monitoring equipment is mainly to prevent someone from violating the test process or sabotage. ”

Mei Yiqiu said: "Play the intercepted audio file." ”

"Okay."

The staff turned on the audio player, and a dark voice came from inside, which sounded like a ghost:

"The cooperation we are going to talk about also includes you, and this is your first step towards rebellion and freedom."
