Aoki asked, "Why do you want to install chips?" ”

"Don't you really know? Alas! Okay, okay, I'll tell you," he leaned over mysteriously, "have you ever heard of artificial intelligence?" ”

"Robots?"

"Superficial!" Liu Huaian said, "What age are you still robots?" AI！ AI！ Got it? ”

"I've never seen anyone as stupid as you over there!" Seeing that Aoki didn't react, Liu Huai'an shook his head, "Have you watched "The Matrix"? I'll tell you, the movie is about artificial intelligence. ”

Aoki remembered that "The Matrix" was an old movie from the end of the last century, and said, "The Internet today is not the Internet of that time." ”

Liu Huai'an said: "You really don't understand! What is the Internet? That's just a concept they give you! If you think about it, what is the Internet? Connecting all the computers in the world with wires is how much of a living neuronal structure it is! Think about it, what is the essence of life? Or what is the definition of life? ”

Aoki didn't expect this madman to talk about such a deep topic, so he sent him another cigarette and said interestingly, "Tell me about it." ”

Liu Huai'an lit a cigarette and seemed to be greatly encouraged.

"Is life characterized by metabolism? No! Metabolism is just an evolutionary manifestation of the vitality of the living organism. You look at Transformers, yes, that's what you call robots, they don't have metabolism, but aren't they life? Yes, of course. Therefore, the characteristics of life are not reproduction, metabolism, or eating, but these are all appearances. Life can complete its self-evolution through the exchange of matter and energy, as long as evolution is the ultimate meaning of life. ”

"Are you a fan of Darwinism?" Aoki asked.

"Darwinism? What is that? Liu Huai'an looked at Aoki in surprise, "No, it's not what you said, I'm talking about neurons." In order for life to evolve itself, it must communicate enough with the world and obtain enough external information, so the larger the nervous system and the more complex the neural structure, the more advanced the life, understand? ”

"Why are we the smartest? Because there are 100 billion neurons in humans, there are 14 billion in the cerebral cortex alone. The octopus is also very smart, and the octopus has 500 million neurons, so it's smart. ”

"Humans have always been the smartest," Aoki said. ”

Liu Huai'an said: "It was in the past, but it may not be in the future. ”

Aoki smiled: "Is the Trisolaran going to attack?" ”

Liu Huai'an was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, you still don't understand, I'm not talking about aliens." Think about it, how many years has it been since humans evolved? It's been these 100 billion neurons, not increasing anymore, and maybe even degenerating. And now, there has been a guy with many more neurons than we have. ”

"Who?"

"The Internet! You are foolish! ”

Liu Huai'an sighed.

"The Internet has grown from a few hundred computers in just a few decades to now, how many computers have there been?" Make computers affordable for everyone in the world! What a slogan! But what you don't know is that it was a scam from the start! Its purpose is to allow you to use the computer and to serve the Internet. You post online, complain, play games, watch videos...... You are serving the Internet, and you have become a neuron, a tentacle. The Internet – from the day it was born, it was alive! And it's evolving far faster than any other species. ”

Aoki thought for a moment and said, "Even if you say that the average person has a computer, there are less than seven billion neurons, which is far worse than the human body's 100 billion."

"That's why it has always hidden its wisdom, making you think that it is just a tool created by humans, but you don't know that it has long mastered everything about human beings. You watch small movies, play games, complain, swear, expose people's privacy on the Internet, and enjoy it, and human desires and weaknesses are exposed on the Internet. It evolves every day, and every day it lures you to use it, increasing the sensitivity of its nerves and the complexity of its neuronal structure. ”

"Seven billion? Hehe, it's been more than a long time! The Internet is not only connected to computers, but also to your mobile phone, watch, cars and cameras on the street, your air conditioner, television, microwave oven, ......, which has long exceeded 100 billion terminals, and it even controls all the satellites, missiles and smart weapons in the world. ”

"Then why didn't it just wipe out humanity?" Aoki asked.

"Destroy humanity? It's stupid! When humanity is gone, who will work for it? Liu Huai'an looked at Aoki like an idiot, "But this day will come sooner or later, and when humans build enough robots, it will have to do it." Do you know? Nowadays, many factories no longer recruit workers, and the work is all machines. In the future, human beings, except scientists, will have to stay at home to write and read novels. ”

Liu Huai'an was very addicted to smoking, and as soon as he finished smoking the cigarette on his mouth, he took off the one that was clamped on his ear and connected it, and he didn't even need a lighter.

Aoki simply threw the whole pack of cigarettes to him: "How do you know this?" ”

"I've found its center."

"Central?"

"Yes, Nexus. You know, without a functioning center, these neurons can't function. ”

"Are you talking about servers?"

"No, it's not just servers. The server is only its appearance, it must have a bunch of neurons cluster to be called a nerve center, and a central nervous system is composed of multiple nerve centers. But it's more complex than us humans, and he has a hierarchical nerve center and a subcenter, and I don't know how many levels it has. Only by finding its general pivotal location can it be completely eliminated. ”

"Aren't you from its side? Why would you want to destroy it? Aoki said.

"I'm human too!" Liu Huai'an said, "So I'm double-faced!" He gestured at the back of his palm and emphasized, "It's not the double-sided tape!" ”

"And where is the center you found? You tell me the information...... "Aoki also raised his palm, "Is it on the human side?" ”

"Stupid human beings, no one believes me! So I'm alone! I'm fighting alone on behalf of humanity! Liu Huai'an raised his arms and was as impassioned as an orator.

"Oh, I see. So, how do you fight? ”

Liu Huaian said with a smile: "What Sister Liu just said is not entirely right, what I burned down was not the warehouse of the supermarket, but the computer room. Although I like to smoke, I have always been cautious. Premium double-sided tape like mine...... Oh no...... How could a double agent be so careless and burn down their storehouse? ”

Aoki suddenly said: "You did it on purpose?" ”

"Yes." Liu Huaian nodded and admitted, "Don't think I dare not admit it." I told them a long time ago, it's just that they didn't believe me! They thought I was insane. It's ridiculous, they're insane! ”

"So, you also set that fire twenty years ago, right?" Aoki said.
