On January 4, 2022, the detector of the Livingston branch of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the United States issued a warning, and 0.7 milliseconds later, the detector of the Hanford branch in Washington also had a signal, and the signal lasted for nearly half a minute.

The analysis center of the headquarters, looking at the extremely undulating curves, a group of scientists was in disbelief.

"This gravitational wave is hundreds of millions of times stronger than when it was first discovered six years ago! Oh my God, did Centauri blow up? ”

"There's also the possibility that a black hole has appeared very close to us."

"It's even more terrifying...... Didn't you find anything astronomical? ”

"Astronomical telescopes all over the world are observing Xia Ming, let's let Ligville do a rough analysis."

A huge metal head appeared in everyone's AR field of vision, this is LIGO's GEI interactive interface, the solemn and silent metal face, constantly reminding scientists that it is a thinking machine born for scientific research.

"Gravitational waves come from the ...... of Homo sapiens"

Ligwell's conclusion brought everyone's thinking to a standstill.

"Wait, you're talking about Homo sapiens in the asteroid belt? Now only 400 million kilometers away from us? ”

"How is that possible? The gravitational waves observed six years ago were produced by the fusion of two black holes 1.3 billion light-years away. The masses of the three suns are completely converted into energy, and the gravitational waves transmitted to the Earth are only a dozen joules, that is, the energy of an X-ray photon. “

"Yes, it's really a change in Homo sapiens, when the gravitational waves reach the earth, there is radiation that is many times stronger than solar radiation, and all life on the earth will be extinct in an instant."

"Not only living things, not only the earth, all the planets in the entire solar system can be burned into glass balls."

A chaotic discussion erupted in the analysis center, and the director waved his hand to signal everyone to shut up, and asked Ligwell: "Analyze specific energy." ”

"If gravitational waves do come from Homo sapiens, according to calculations, astronomical phenomena occurring there with an intensity equal to about 27% of the mass of the universe converted into energy."

Scientists either laugh or shrug their shoulders, which is ridiculous.

"If you increase the mass equivalent to 160,000 universes in the place of Homo sapiens, you will also emit the same gravitational waves."

The director shook his head: "Either there's a problem with the detector, or there's a problem with Ligville's algorithm." ”

Whatever the change, it is impossible to have only gravitational waves and no other energy.

Someone relayed the latest news: "Huaxia's Tianqin satellite has also discovered gravitational waves, but has not yet released an analysis report. ”

I'm afraid that Huaxia is the same as them, it is difficult to explain this gravitational wave, and it is in a state of confusion.

Everyone gloated, and the other suddenly said, "Zhishen Star...... Xia Ming...... These two seem to be connected, right? ”

The director slapped his forehead: "I even forgot, a year and a half ago, Xia Ming was killed in Zhishen Star, and now this comet is named after him." ”

The scientist who followed the news from Huaxia whispered: "Could it be that he is still alive, and that he made this gravitational wave?" ”

The huge analysis center suddenly became silent, and after a long time, the director smiled and said, "Tom, this joke is very interesting!" ”

"Fack! Did Xia Ming come back with 160,000 universes? One scientist said in an excited tone describing a wonderful prospect: "Judgment Day is coming!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter, and it was indeed an interesting joke.

The director muttered in a low voice, "If it's really him, that's great." ”

The spacecraft crossed Mars, Xia Ming's gaze did not stay on the red planet for half a second, he kept staring at the earth.

Although the spacecraft has been parked on the surface of Homo sapiens for a year and a half, the engine and life support system are all in good condition, the only trouble is that there is a problem with the control system, and it is estimated that when the dimension is ascending, it is affected by that kind of barrier.

The failed Qianyan MINI can be replaced with a backup carried in the spacesuit, and the conventional control circuit inside the spacecraft can be repaired, but the conventional communication equipment cannot be repaired.

It took him 40 days to fly over Mars, only 60 million kilometers from Earth, and he grew more and more afraid.

It's not a simple homesickness, Xiaotang and Xiaohuan must think that they have been killed, and even Qianyan is closed, I don't know what their situation is.

Xiao Huan is softer and won't do stupid things, but Xiaotang ......

Xiaotang didn't come to Zhishenxing, he was both happy and a little puzzled. She's talking about the same fierceness, what does that mean? Could it be that Xiaotang also had an accident?

Flying back this way, Xia Ming was in a state of confusion, and he was in no mood for many things to be done in the plan. As for the responsibilities entrusted to him by Qianyi, what high-dimensional time and space, and what the future of mankind, he didn't bother to think about it at this time.

"700,000 kilometers from the comet, 38 kilometers from the long axis of the comet......"

Xia Xiaoyan reported the comet's situation again, but he still didn't care, and he didn't even bother to take a look.

The comet was seen after his departure, in the same direction as the spacecraft, and is expected to pass more than 300,000 kilometers from Earth. I believe that many people on the earth are observing, and maybe they will send probes to go around.

At this time, he did not know that the comet had the same name as him......

During this time, rebuilding Xia Xiaoyan was the only work he had completed, and the new Xia Xiaoyan was more powerful, but also more unblemished. Xia Ming thinks this is not bad, he already has a super AEI called Qianyi, and Qianyan, if there is still a humanized PEI in his head, it is difficult to say that he will not become a human external control.

"Hurry, hurry!"

He muttered, but the ship couldn't go any faster, and was already slowing down.

When he was 47 million kilometers away from the earth, Xia Xiaoyan reported a message that made him excited: "I received an airwave signal similar to Morse code, and I interpreted the ......."

Mostly who on Earth discovered him, NASA or China Airlines?

The spacecraft's radio was broken, but it was not technically difficult to modify a receiver with good parts, plus parts from the "fuze" detector.

"My name is Natsume Shiki, a student at the Department of Astronomy at the University of Tokyo, and I saw you through FAST, are you Natsumei?"

The signal sent by the other party was repeated back and forth, just this sentence.

FAST is a giant radio astronomy telescope built by Huaxia, and like other astronomical telescopes, it has joined the international observation cooperation system and provided services to astronomers and professional astronomy fans around the world through the Internet.

The universe is vast, and the mysteries are endless. Relying on the experts of the observatory to observe the starry sky alone is extremely inefficient. So from very early on, with the help of the Internet, large astronomical telescopes have provided collaborative services, allowing other astronomers and hobbyists to use the telescope to make observations. Many comets, asteroids, and all sorts of new astronomical phenomena were discovered in this way.

In the past, collaborators relied on visual interpretation of images, but now with EI, the efficiency of this collaboration is greatly improved by relying on powerful image recognition intelligence.

Xia Ming was not too far away from the comet, but everyone was staring at the comet, but this Japanese student was searching in the void beyond the comet, and he didn't know how painful it was.

After discovering it, and then broadcasting it through radio equipment, Xia Ming received a "telegram".

Xia Ming didn't care to think about why this Japanese student thought it was him, and instructed Xia Xiaoyan: "Point the terahertz scanner in the direction of the earth, send a message in Morse code, and just say ...... I'm Xia Ming and I need help. ”

For FAST, the terahertz scanner's signal can be clearly seen at such a close distance, provided that its exact location is known.

On the campus of Tokyo University, in the dilapidated small building where the Astronomy Club is located, a thin young man with a hairstyle who killed Matt jumped up, raised his arms and shouted: "It's Xia Jun!" It's him! He wrote me back! ”

The other three boys, all of whom were of different heights and heights, but all wore eyes, came closer.

"Eight million gods bless, it's really Xia Jun!"

"What did Natsu-kun say, Natsume?"

"Definitely...... I'm back, Earth-kun! ”

Natsume Zigui waved his hand and said very seriously: "Xia Jun needs help." ”

"Great! In the future, we will be called Xia Ming's Four Righteous Men in Space! ”

"This name is not good, in Huaxia words, it is very middle two, or it is called ......"

"I think it's better to design the uniform first."

Natsume Zigui felt that the three friends were really unreliable: "Can you be serious!" ”

He said solemnly: "We are originally members of the People's Revolutionary Federation, and we are patiently waiting for the clarion call of the revolution, and Xia Jun's return is the arrangement of fate!" We have to be like Xia Jun's wings and help him land safely first. ”

The other three people were silent for a few seconds, some raised their arms, some clenched their fists, and some stroked their chests, and shouted in unison: "The Human Revolution Union is loaded!" ”

"Speaking of which, what help does Xia Jun need?"

Natsume ignored them and muttered as she tapped the keyboard.

Because the efficiency was too low, Xia Ming's communication with Natsume Zigui lasted for several days, but the other party was very patient to divide the events that had happened on the earth in the past year and a half into countless paragraphs, and briefly told Xia Ming.

"Thank you...... Comrade ......"

Xia Ming asked Xia Xiaoyan to forward such a signal, and he felt that this title was the best compliment to this Japanese student.

It is true that when PEI translated these two words, Natsume Zigui was stunned for a while, lying on the table and crying.

In the spaceship, Xia Ming was also crying, and Xiaotang was killed because of the space station accident......

This is not an accident, since he lost contact, both China and the United States have taken a series of extremely efficient measures.

The institute has been destroyed by the storm.

Lin Cheng became a wanted criminal and accused of selling technical secrets to the United States, but so far, no one has been caught.

He Xinghui and Hu Jun were detained for unknown reasons and circumstances.

Lillo illegally approached the French president and declared that humanity was about to come to an end, and that the world needed to unite and travel to Homo sapiens to meet the challenge. Not surprisingly, she was identified as having a mental condition and was imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital.

As for Xiao Huan, Natsume Zigui didn't know about her existence.

In addition to people, the various companies founded by Xia Ming also have their own experiences.

Kunpeng and Char Heavy Industries were nationalized, Xia Ming didn't care about this, and was even very glad that at least the Yi family brothers and sisters, as well as Lou Xinghai's group, had a new way out.

There has been no major change in the cicada movement, but it is said that the joint-stock organization has changed, and the propaganda and promotion of personal will that were originally in PEI are all gone, and it has begun to become an ordinary company with the purpose of making money.

Illusion and SynaCyber have not changed much, and "Illusion World" is still thriving, probably because Xia Ming's enemies don't feel that there is a fundamental conflict with them in this regard.

There doesn't seem to be much change on the IEI side, that is, the acquisition of Elon Musk's Open-AI company in a share swap, and Musk enters the board of directors. And who else besides Musk has also squeezed into IEI, it's not something that Natsume Zigui can know.

After that, Wu Sihao and Tian Zhong were squeezed out of the board of directors, and although Hasabis took over as chairman after Xia Ming's accident, he appeared frequently, but it was Musk who spoke as the leader of IEI.

IEI, which is beginning to become an American company, is preparing to go public on the NASDAQ, and Wall Street's financial elite is pouring out to make IEI another Alphabet.

Xia Ming's enemies did not rudely and directly devour Xia Ming's career, but continued to hold on to that layer of skin. Therefore, the three laws of EI are still there, and GEUM is still there, but seeing that Liu Ruru's People's Revolutionary Federation has been suppressed everywhere, and members like Natsume Zigui even regard themselves as underground party members, they know that Xia Ming's ideas have been eroded beyond recognition.

Natsume Zigui told Xia Ming two things, which were regarded by the Human Revolution Federation as two milestones in the history of human EI development, and they were also a monument of shame.

One occurred in the United States, where a Tinder PEI user set restrictions on his PEI in order to quit hemp. If the body detector is found smoking marijuana, corona yourself.

This person faithfully obeyed the big - the addiction, and PEI also faithfully carried out the instructions, unfortunately he was enjoying himself in the bathtub, and he forgot to take off the bracelet that could be discharged, and when he was dizzy, he didn't even notice PEI's voice prompts.

So, he drowned.

With the support of the all-star team of lawyers, the family filed a lawsuit against IEI and Cicada, arguing that PEI violated the true will of human beings and then harmed human beings, and demanded that IEI and Cicada stop developing and selling PEI and pay one billion US dollars in compensation.

According to the defense, it was the "victims" themselves who made stupid mistakes. It's like a microwave oven with precautions written and even a voice reminder not to heat metal objects, but he still insists on doing it. This is not PEI's responsibility, it is his own consequence. PEI does not possess a will, which is the result of the contradiction of man's true will.

The words of the prosecution lawyer team in the court have gone down in history, "Freedom is the most precious, and the people have stupid freedom!" As for the evil consequences of stupidity, it can only be the embodiment of nature and law, not artificial intelligence! Artificial intelligence is neither nature, nor law, nor God! ”

In the end, the court made three rulings, the first two of which seemed to be muddy: IEI and Cicada Dong should pay $70 million in damages and no longer connect any device that could harm the human body to PEI, and the third was that IEI should no longer add any features to PEI's core will that restrict or encourage the user to make a certain decision.

This vague ruling, which was not operational, became an empty phrase, but it has sparked controversy that continues to this day.

Academics believe that this directly erases the intellectual basis of PEI and severes the mapping association between PEI and individual will. However, the U.S. government has obtained a legal basis and has begun to brew the PEI Act, the most critical of which is that the government has the right to review the core will of PEI.

The second incident happened in Huaxia, where Liu Ruru was accused of extortion and went to prison.

The background of the incident is that the cicada-moving fire PEI is hit by the cheaper and more "humane" PEI made by companies such as Chihiro. On the other hand, GEI of companies such as Kari lured users of Tinder and other PEI users to use their customized interactive intelligence in the form of "membership discounts" and "through trains". These GEIs use powerful psychoanalytic intelligence to distort users' spending habits through the backdoor opened by interactive intelligence.

Liu Ruru led the People's Revolutionary Federation to wage a resolute struggle against these two forces. They accuse Chihiro and other companies of PEI that are not really intelligent, but only extremely well-packaged interactive intelligence, which does not have a mapping with human will, and violates the Three Laws of EI and the Xiangshan Declaration. And the actions of these companies in Kari are a blatant violation of human freedom.

After Liu Ruru was imprisoned, the testimonial made by Li Zhi, the helmsman of Chihiro, was engraved in the hearts of countless people, just like the remarks of the American lawyer.

"Man should be free, not a screw, not a machine. Our PEI does not reflect the will of the person, that is, the person is not bound to the machine! Think about it, when you do something, say something, or even think something, there is a machine recording and imitating, isn't that a terrifying thing? ”

He said solemnly: "We are defending human freedom!" ”

At that time, a beautiful reporter at the venue asked, isn't Chihiro's GEI recording everything users do and saying through their own PEI, and then analyzing what users are thinking?

The beautiful reporter was dragged away by the security guards......

Savoring these changes one by one, Xia Ming's eyes were red, and he said in a low voice: "You will pay the price, I swear!" ”

He rubbed a ball, one of the anchor components that had been fished out of the sea.

Now he probably understands that each of the three anchor components has its own usefulness.

The component, which has been shattered, is the signal booster.

The large diamond is a technical information identification system that records the technological development of human civilization and at the same time identifies whether the technology has developed enough to take responsibility.

And this ball should be......

He only had some guesses, because on the ship, he didn't dare to try it yet.

Originally going back to Earth, informing governments, and holding a special meeting, this ball could be used as a display to enhance its own credibility.

Now, he has reversed the whole plan.

For personal gain, the murderer must pay for it with blood!

Yu Gong, the container of the country, can no longer hold the test that mankind is about to face.

I have to find a place to do experiments, Xia Ming looks at the galaxy model in the AR field of view, he has left Mars, and he is still more than 30 million kilometers away from the earth.

To the moon? The moon is too close......

In the model, there is a small dot not far from the spaceship, running side by side with him to Earth.

It was that comet, Natsume Zigui told him, and this comet was called Natsu Ming's Comet.

Although I don't like the term "predetermined fate", this kind of coincidence is also quite interesting.

Three small engines that adjusted their attitude emitted a faint blue light, and the ship adjusted its direction and flew towards the comet with a long tail of red and blue. (To be continued.) )
