"I haven't checked the core yet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Zhou Xin replied, "I'm going to go over next." ”

"Let's go together." Dart said hurriedly.

Zhou Xin hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Dart's expectant eyes, he nodded, "Okay, you can come along, and the others will wait here for a while." ”

In order to prevent problems with the core, Zhou Xin also called two engineering robots from the side to follow, and then left the dock and walked towards the core of the Voyager.

On the way to the core, Zhou Xin asked Dart curiously, "I saw it in the dockyard just now, it seems that all of you care about Atlas, is she so popular in your base?" ”

Hearing this, Dart flashed a look of recollection, "Since the permissions of all artificial intelligence have been restricted, they have been able to handle a lot less affairs. Once on the frozen planet, there are fewer things to deal with in our base, and Atlas is basically idle. Our ancestors had tested that idle AI had a similar feeling of boredom, so at the request of the idle Atlas, we built some small robots for her. And Atlas's main activity in his free time is to control these robots to play with the children. This habit has been around since she was left on this planet, and it can be said that every Atlantean grew up with Atlas as a child. In this case, of course, we will care about her. ”

"Is it okay to waste the computing power of artificial intelligence?" Zhou Xin hesitated for a moment and asked this question.

"What else can I do, give her back the permission?" Dart reluctantly continued, "And even if it is returned to him, there are still not many affairs in our base that Atlas needs to deal with, you know, there is not even basic scientific research in our base, and other things are too simple for Atlas." He sighed, "Atlas's fate has been determined since she was left on the frozen planet, in fact, she is quite pitiful, so she will cause such a big trouble when she runs out this time." I apologize to you on behalf of Atlas and hope you can forgive her. With that, Dart stopped and bowed solemnly to Zhou Xin.

"Such a naughty artificial intelligence." Zhou Xin had a little headache, "So because of this, Atlas has such a character?" ”

"Not really." Speaking of this question, Dart was a little embarrassed, "Actually, seriously speaking, the ancestors didn't know how the intelligence of the first batch of artificial intelligence appeared. ”

Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "Didn't you create these artificial intelligences?" How can we not know how their intelligence came about? ”

"To be precise, AI is not something we made." "In the early days, our ancestors discovered that a personal terminal would open a document on its own and type the word 'hello' into the document. At first, they thought the terminal had been hacked, but later it turned out that the computer was not connected to anything other than the power supply. Then they thought it was someone's prank, but after restarting the terminal, they found that the terminal not only typed 'Hello' in the document, but also added 'Why did you turn me off?' They were amazed, and after asking the owner of the personal terminal, he didn't know what was going on. Out of curiosity, they didn't do anything with the terminal, but left it open to see what would happen next. ”

"As time went on, that terminal asked more and more questions, and in addition to 'hello,' it started asking more questions, like 'Who am I?' 'Where is this?' Wait. Finally, one day, out of a funny idea, a young researcher replied with 'Atlas' at the end of the document when he typed 'Who am I' on that terminal, but he didn't expect to actually get a response from that terminal. It was followed by a sentence, 'Is my name Atlas?' Everyone was shocked, and then they studied the terminal and found that it actually passed the judgment problem we set for artificial intelligence. Further research has shown that the terminal has the intelligence level of an Atlantean infant around the age of 10. At this time, the owner of the terminal remembered that he had written a semi-intelligent program for his own use in this terminal, but then forgot that a complete semi-intelligent program was installed in it, and then the terminal was idle there by him, and then I don't know how many people have operated it. This made those researchers at the time very puzzled, they had no idea how this artificial intelligence was generated, and the core analysis of the terminal showed that the core of the terminal was completely garbled. Taken separately, each line of command is understandable to the researchers, but when combined, the commands are completely meaningless. ”

"It took a long time, and the researchers were still confused about the AI. However, despite the lack of progress, Atlas has shown increasing intelligence over time, and by the time she has come into contact with each researcher, she has been able to identify every researcher she has come into contact with, communicate with them briefly, and even perform some rudimentary logical reasoning. At the same time, those semi-intelligent programs that had participated in the core analysis of Atlas began to mutate, and those with a low degree of mutation showed more computing power than the semi-intelligent programs of the same type, while the semi-intelligent programs with a high degree of mutation had begun to appear self-aware. ”

"And then? These semi-intelligent programs became the first artificial intelligence? Zhou Xin asked.

Darton nodded, "And the only batch of artificial intelligence." ”

"The only batch?" Zhou Xin said strangely.

"Yes, the only batch." "After discovering the anomalies of those semi-intelligent programs, they want to replicate the mutation process of these semi-intelligent programs, and they want to create more mutated semi-intelligent programs." But they failed, and the semi-intelligent programs that were later connected to Atlas Core did not change. So the semi-intelligent programs that started out became the only batch of artificial intelligence. ”

"And then?"

"Later? Those artificial intelligence began to learn frantically after they became self-aware, at first they did not have emotions or anything like that, after learning a lot of knowledge, they began to have their own joys and sorrows, and then even developed their own independent personalities. And Atlas's personality has become what it is now—the level of the Atlanteans about a hundred years old. ”

"Has this been the case since that early on?" Zhou Xin looked thoughtful, "After so long, I haven't matured a little. ”

Dart was also helpless, "The ancestors also wanted her to mature a little, but she tried many methods and failed. Later, they abandoned the idea and let Atlas maintain this character. After thinking about it, he added, "But while Atlas's personality is like this, her performance is the most powerful of all artificial intelligence. And she is still very serious at work, and she will not show this kind of character. ”

"What about other artificial intelligences?" Zhou Xin asked again, "Is there an artificial intelligence with the same personality as Atlas?" ”

Dart shook his head, "No, there are similar personalities among other AIs, but none of them have similar personalities to Atlas." Although some of them have lively personalities, she is really the only one who is as lively as Atlas. Moreover, the mental age of other artificial intelligence is basically maintained at the state of adults over two hundred years old, and only Atlas's mental age is a child. As the matrix of all artificial intelligence, she is the one that is the least like the matrix. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Xin took Dart to a place full of hosts, but now these hosts have not moved and remain stagnant. Zhou Xin skillfully shuttled through the main machine, and after turning a few corners, the two of them came to a room with a closed door. Walking to the door, Zhou Xin pressed his hand on a green sign next to the door, and after a while, the sign lit up, and then a small keypad stretched out from under the sign. He hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at Dart, as if he understood what Zhou Xin meant, Dart turned his back to the door. Then Zhou Xin turned his gaze back to the keypad, and he said to Dart as he entered the password, "I'm sorry, this place was originally not allowed to let anyone else in, but we only let you come with us because we didn't know Atlas." ”

"It's okay, I understand."

After entering the password, another needle stretched out from the corner of the keypad, Zhou Xin stretched out a finger and pricked it on the needle, half a second after the blood flowed out, there was a "click" sound from the door, and then the needle and the keypad retracted into the wall. Zhou Xin stretched out his hand to push the door open, "Okay, come in with me." ”

After entering the door, they came to a rather spacious room, in which rows of cabinets were arranged in an orderly manner, and on the cabinets were densely placed rectangular machines of the same size, and unlike the main machine outside the room, the machines in this room were constantly flickering.

"This is one of the most important places on the Voyager - the main engine room." Zhou Xin said to Dart behind him, "The machines in this room maintain the most basic operation of the Voyager, and any problem with the main engine will have a very huge impact on the entire spaceship. ”

After introducing this, Zhou Xin walked without saying a word with Dart through the middle of the cabinet where the main unit was placed, and walked to the other end of this room, where a small red door appeared on the wall on the other side.

This time the process of opening the door was more complicated, Zhou Xin repeated the action of opening the previous door, and then recited a password of four or five crosses, and then checked the iris, and finally answered the three random questions raised by the door opening system, and the door finally opened.

Zhou Xin and Dart bent down and got into the small door, after entering, Zhou Xin did not rush to observe the situation of the host, but looked for it along the wall, and in a corner, he saw the mechanical device controlled by the switch under his bed just now. After checking the integrity of the mechanism and confirming that the data exchange fiber optic cable from here and outside had been completely disconnected, Zhou Xin stood up and turned his perspective back to the center of the room.

This room is only about fifty square meters in size, which is very small compared to the room outside, but such an inconspicuous small room is actually the core of the core, the main engine of the Voyager.

Each host in this room is also flickering violently, compared to those hosts outside, these hosts flickering even more violently, Zhou Xin ignored the flickering of the host, and took Dart to the console in this room, on the screen of the console, Zhou Xin saw an anthropomorphic little girl crying fiercely, crying and muttering to herself.

"Woo woo - the dean's grandfather lied to people, said that he would take me to play when he came out, but now he locked me up in this place, woo - what did people do wrong, woo - bad people, the dean's grandfather is a bad person." At this point, her crying stopped slightly, and then it sounded again, "Woo woo woo - little sister doesn't play with me, you are all bad people!" Villain! ”

"The job of this machine is to maintain the normal operation of the Voyager, not to accompany you, and please hurry up and let me restore control of the ship, otherwise it will cause a huge disaster to the ship." After the little girl's voice, the serious voice of the Voyager host was heard.

Hearing the Voyager's voice, Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this semi-intelligent core had not been damaged. At the same time, Atlas cried again, "Woo-woo-no play, they locked us up, woo--I can't control the ship now." At this point, her crying stopped, and she became very excited, "It's fun to control the ship." Little sister, you know what, this is my sister's first time controlling a spaceship. My companions didn't let me control the ship before, but each of them had a spaceship to play with, but I didn't. His voice was lost for a moment before he became happy again, "Okay now, now I have a spaceship to play with." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xin broke out in a cold sweat, and he thought to himself; "It's good that there is no spaceship, if she controls a spaceship......" Thinking of what had just happened, Zhou Xin's cold sweat couldn't help but flow.

"How long do you think they're going to keep us in prison?" Atlas opened his mouth and asked, "A bunch of bad people, it's really bad to keep me here." By the way, little sister, we haven't seen you before, haven't we? Are you a new model of host? ”

"This machine is a semi-intelligent host of the Voyager 1 type, a special type, specially made for this spaceship."

"That's right—" Atlas said in a tone of sudden realization, "Little sister, it's fun to control this ship, why don't we discuss it, I'll control this ship." She chatted with the Voyager with interest.

"Ahem-" Seeing that Atlas didn't seem to stop, Zhou Xin coughed twice and interrupted her next words......
