Chapter 20: Aliens

It's so beautiful, no, it should be said that it's so handsome, this is Li Lin's first reaction when he sees Locke. Before the earth entered the Age of Discovery, network information transmission has entered thousands of households, not to mention now, the current Skynet is all over the galaxy, and the stars that Li Lin has known since he was a child, whether it is the earth, the moon, or outside the solar system, there is no one who can compare with this person in terms of appearance.

She has long flowing hair, a straight nose, and a smooth face without a trace of stubble. A pair of eyes are bright and deep, with a kind of newborn baby-like purity, and a kind of cosmic black hole-like vicissitudes, plus a pair of sword eyebrows, it is definitely a face that Lori girls, young girls, and sexy young women are fascinated by. A purple robe with peculiar patterns perfectly outlines the toned figure and adds a different temperament.

There is no doubt that beauty is a kind of enjoyment, a kind of art, although different people may come from different planets, but the appearance is definitely not much different, and the aesthetics will naturally not be diametrically opposed.

Human beings are the most intelligent creatures in the universe, and human beings on different planets, or even in different parts of the same planet, may have different characteristics, but they are absolutely the same. Some say it's a miracle of the universe, others say it's an inevitable consequence, as it is written in the chapter on The Human Code, The Unity of Wisdom and Civilization: In the universe, at least in the galaxy, there is only one kind of creature in the rulers, and that is the human race. It is amazing that human beings are the only multi-planetary creatures found today, and perhaps there really is a God, or perhaps it is the privilege of intelligent life, but it is undeniable that human beings on each planet are the same species, and the genetic code is exactly the same. I do not comment on the belief that human beings are the supreme form of life and the final result of evolution, and that the genetic code will gradually become unified with evolution, and eventually evolve into intelligence, that is, human beings. But the range of inherent proportions of the human form is definitely the most scientific, just as the nucleus-plasma ratio determines the size of the cell, whether it is artistic aesthetics, natural selection, or scientific practicality, it is absolutely the achievement of nature's miraculous workmanship, impeccable existence, and hides great plasticity (potential).

I have to say that in Li Lin's eyes, the person in front of him should be a work of art, and that kind of temperament is undoubtedly from everyone's hands.

"You're Locke? What do you mean by your choice? Although Locke's appearance gave Li Lin a great visual shock, as far as the facts are concerned, everything here is full of weirdness, and he has to be cautious.

Locke smiled and didn't answer Li Lin's question, "You're the first guest since the establishment of this base, and of course, I hope it's also the last, because I don't want to wait for such a long time." Locke looked at Li Lin's eyes, and the vicissitudes and loneliness between the words naturally flowed.

Li Lin suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a little pitiful, and Li Lin felt a heavy sense of loneliness in him.

"I know you still have a lot of questions, but I need you to keep everything here secret, and it will rot forever in the depths of your heart without my permission, can you do it?"

"Do you really believe me?" , Li Lin looked directly into Locke's eyes, a trace of sharp light did not escape Li Lin's eyes, Li Lin had no doubt that there was only one way to keep it secret, and that was to die people, a person's commitment was very strong, but also the most fragile.

Locke shook his head, "I believe in Destiny, the secrecy you and I understand is different, and there are some things that you will understand later!" ”

"What do you mean?" Li Lin was puzzled.

Locke shook his head and chuckled a few times: "Now talk about myself, I will always be with you for a long time to come, whether you believe it or not, I will not have any reservations about you." I need your absolute trust, and I have absolute loyalty to you. ”

"Loyalty?" Li Lin was taken aback, this word was not a joke.

"That's right, loyalty!"

In Li Lin's astonished gaze, Locke's body became illusory after saying this, becoming more and more transparent, and finally turned into a little starlight and disappeared into the air.

"Don't be surprised, I'm Locke. There's one thing you may not understand, but that's the truth, I'm not human! The entire main control room sounded Locke's looping stereo, and what he said made Li Lin's scalp tingle.

As we all know, human beings are the only intelligent creatures discovered by the galaxy, and the conversation with Locke just now made Li Lin completely clear about two points: First, this Locke is definitely not an intelligent program set in advance, and the tone of his voice alone is not something that can be imitated by machinery and electronics, let alone that kind of temperament and eyes. Temperament is the charm of personality from the inside out, and the eyes are the windows of the human soul and the characteristics that belong to life. Second, from what we have just said, we can conclude that this Locke is not a simple life, but an intelligent life. In this way, doesn't it mean that this Locke is another type of intelligent life outside of human beings, this shock is undoubtedly earth-shattering, and it can be said that it completely subverts Li Lin's scientific outlook.

The huge main control room suddenly fell completely silent, and Locke did not speak again, as if he was giving Li Lin a buffer time.

"That ......" Li Lin swallowed his saliva and struggled to get a syllable out of his throat.

"Boy, scared?" Locke laughed, "Actually, I can't even talk about living things. Locke smiled wryly.

Li Lin is calm now, even if the other party says that he is an alien civilization, he will not be surprised, anyway, it is no longer a matter of breaking common sense now, more is not more, less is not less.

"Actually, after all, I don't know why I gave birth to wisdom, I'm just the main computer of this underground base." As he spoke, Locke appeared on the main screen of the console, still with that handsome and jealous face, "Sit down and talk!" ”

"The image of you is synthesized by yourself, and I was surprised for a while." Li Lin teased and unceremoniously sat on the black chair in front of the console.

"God, is that the point?" Locke really didn't expect this seemingly honest person to have this side.

"I didn't expect that there is really mechanical life, in fact, computer computers and the human brain still have something in common, the storage and processing of the computer is strictly in accordance with the program regulations, and the human brain is more like the universe, mixed and disorderly contains rules and order, but the computing rate of the computer can be increased by the geometric rate of the system itself, and with the growth of time, maybe it can also create a brain universe, so as to have the characteristics of life." Li Lin said eloquently that mechanical life is undoubtedly a new world in the field of physical science, and he has also had an argument with the old man on this point. However, the old man firmly believes that non-living things are non-living things, that human beings are not gods, and that computers can never evolve life. This is a rare polarizing problem between the two.

"Yo, I can't see it, it's quite researched, but it's not that simple, do you understand the root of life?" Locke smirked. From this moment on, Li Lin really understood something of another higher level.

Li Lin was stunned and said, "Is the root of life thought?" ”

"No, at least not exactly, the root of life is the soul, and people prefer to use the word spirit. ”

Li Lin thought for a moment and asked: "Then can I think so, a mecha is like our body, and the person who operates the mecha is the soul, or spiritual power, what the mecha does, it all depends on the person who operates the mecha." ”

"Yes, a very appropriate analogy, if the mecha is completely destroyed, people can only leave, and the mecha is a pile of scrap metal; If the pilot dies, the mech will only be paralyzed. Pilots, like human mental powers, need to rest and recover. The lifespan of human beings is also coordinated by the mental power and the physical body, and the aging of the physical body and the death of the mental power are the shackles of the lifespan. ”

Li Lin frowned and said suspiciously: "According to this, this spiritual power is also a kind of energy, a kind of energy that governs life activities, since it is energy, it must abide by the law of conservation of energy." Then the machine itself must have no soul, and it will never be born out of thin air, so it will not evolve into life. In that case, then you ......"

Locke shook his head with a wry smile, "This is also what I've always wondered, unless ......"

"The transplantation of spiritual power from the outside world" Li Lin and Locke said in unison, looking at each other, and they couldn't help laughing.

"Interesting people!" Locke laughed.

Li Lin shrugged, "You too." ”

"It's still a person who can't afford to lose, and this bit of advantage has to be taken back, but one thing you are right, in addition to mental power, computers need a long time to evolve themselves to evolve their lives, that is, to increase the rate of computing infinitely, so as to achieve what you call the brain universe."

"And how much time did you spend on?" Li Lin knows that as far as the earth is concerned, thousands of years ago, the rate of computer computing was an exponential increase every year, let alone now.

"Guess what." Locke looked at Li Lin with interest.

Li Lin thought for a while, thought for a while, and said, "As far as I know, the fastest Nebula computer of the Silver Alliance, it will take at least a few hundred years. "But what computer can have a lifespan of hundreds of years, and even if it is still alive in a few hundred years, this computer must have been eliminated before it has evolved into the brain universe, and the birth of the brain universe requires a process that needs to be upgraded by itself, so as to achieve chaos and order, rather than relying on fixed programs. This is an unsolvable problem, and Locke, Li Lin, and the old man Saiga all understand it, so they know that there is a great difficulty in it.

Locke sighed slightly, "10,000 years, 10,000 years to live!" Sleeps for 10,000 years"

"What? 10,000 years! Li Lin suddenly bounced up from the chair, then sat down softly, and muttered, "Ten thousand years!" ”

Locke shook his head and said nothing, his eyes were far away, and the scene of 10,000 years ago seemed to be yesterday. A cold-eyed visitor 10,000 years ago, now looking back on his true feelings, he really understands the helplessness, the tragedy, and the indescribable pain.
