Originally, he thought that looking up at the starry sky and asking "who am I" when he was a child was a philosophical experience, a kind of secondary two.

Now, Professor Xu has been searching for most of his life, but he is explaining to him that the idea of "who am I" is not a philosophical thing, but a real scientific thing.

It is very likely that it is the awareness of the "surface consciousness" of the latent, real "self-consciousness" behind it.

For a while, Xia Ming had all kinds of reveries, if this conclusion was correct, while solving countless mysteries, more mysteries were generated.

How does true self-consciousness control superficial consciousness? How is the education received, the memories that people have, and the various stimuli of hormones on the brain related to self-awareness? How does self-awareness deal with the myriad choices a person makes in life? From choosing someone to choose as a partner, to what to eat at noon, is there a self-awareness intervention?

The most important thing is, how does true self-awareness come about? How do you master it?

Professor Xu's fragment of consciousness became a little blurred, and Xia Ming quickly stopped his reverie and asked a more important keyword: human self-evolution plan.

Countless fragments are loaded into the plane of consciousness, but they are all vague images and syllables, and finally only a complete image is made.

The scene is in a moving car, Professor Xu is sitting in the passenger seat, and the middle-aged man driving is very familiar, Tang Hao, Xiaotang's father!

Someone in the back seat was talking, and it was Yang Yuanchang again: "That thing can decide the future fate of mankind." ”

Tang Hao said: "Yes, so we have to have a plan. ”

Yang Yuanchang said: "Yes. Project Human Evolution! ”

Professor Xu spoke: "No! It should be a human self-evolution plan! ”

Yang Yuanchang was a little dissatisfied: "Old Xu, we should use it to find the remaining two parts, instead of using it for your philosophical experiment." If those two parts are found. Maybe you'll know what it's all about! Once we're done doing the reverse research, the whole world will be turned upside down! ”

Tang Hao said disappreciatively: "Do you think they don't know where the remaining two parts are?" Do you think they asked us to work on this thing to find parts? Be mindful of their true purpose! ”

"We don't know if it's a technological revolution or a deadly disaster," Professor Xu said. But its existence, its role, proves what I've always believed. Self-awareness exists. Correctly understanding and developing self-consciousness is the self-evolution of human beings. ”

"If we're going to study this thing, the starting point has to be this. So, what we have to make is a plan for the self-evolution of human beings. ”

Yang Yuanchang sneered: "It's like the kind of thing you bewitched us two young men at the dinner table many years ago?" ”

Tang Hao seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and said with emotion: "I think." Lao Xu has never changed. And you and I, Yuanchang, we are both a little old. ”

Professor Xu also sighed: "At that time, I was just afraid of the development of artificial intelligence, and hoped that human beings would not stop evolving and become slaves of artificial intelligence in the future. Of course, at that time, the understanding of artificial intelligence was not deep enough, so I would think so. But. After coming into contact with that thing, I felt that humans were still ignorant. It is necessary to truly master self-consciousness in order to move on to the next stage of civilization. ”

Professor Xu turned his head, and Yang Yuanchang in his sight was not bald, but just Mediterranean, and his face was very gloomy.

"Yuanchang ......"

This was the end of the fragment, but it did not end naturally, and Professor Xu's fragments of consciousness were shaking violently.

Xia Ming only had a sense at this time, this was not a change in Professor Xu's brain, but a change in the slightest bit of mind that Xiao Huan was attached to.

Quickly withdrawing from the consciousness association, Xia Ming was shocked, Xiao Huan was soft in his arms, and he had already fainted, and his nostrils were sliding down the slightest line of blood.

"I didn't expect this girl to be so stubborn......"

The laboratory has ready-made equipment and a medical team, and Xiao Huan will soon be sent for examination. Looking at Xiao Huan lying in MIR, Xiaotang said with emotion.

"It's me who didn't pay attention to her situation......"

Xia Ming felt guilty and heartbroken.

Lilo came over with the test results: "A certain part of the brain is too violent, and the blood oxygen supply is insufficient, resulting in a brief coma, and the bleeding is caused by the congestion of the mucous membranes of the eyes and nose and other organs that cause the capillaries to rupture. Now that the abnormal activity of the brain has stopped, it's okay, let her have a good rest. ”

She looked at Xia Ming and her eyes were very strange: "This girl, although MIR has not found an obvious difference, but there are some signs, you can see it by comparing it with your MIR information with her...... Interesting phenomenon. ”

Hearing that Xiao Huan was fine, Xia Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and Liluo's so-called interesting phenomenon, he had already thought of what it was: "Say it, let's listen." ”

"Looks like you know what's going on," says Lillo, "Quite simply, her corpus callosum is proliferating nerve fibers, and new tissue is being produced underneath it, and if nothing else, her brain will eventually become just like you." ”

She slipped her hand into the pocket of her blue coat and said solemnly, "I seem to have come across a great conspiracy, right?" The collective evolution of man! ”

Xiaotang smiled and asked, "Are you ready to quit?" ”

Lilo shook her head: "What I want to ask is, how do you start?" I now know that it is not enough to study your brains and rely on MIR alone. ”

Xiaotang said: "There is indeed a door, but when you enter that door, you will become just like us." ”

Liluo's face turned pale, she looked at Xiaotang, then at Xia Ming, and muttered, "Damn! I should really think about quitting. ”

Xia Ming was about to speak, but Liluo said again: "But if I want to quit, you will definitely do some terrible things to me, such as washing away my memory, so I'd better stay." ”

Xia Ming and Xiaotang glanced at each other, and they both said that this one was really interesting.

After settling Xiao Huan, Xia Ming shared the information he got from Professor Xu with Xiaotang to see what she thought.

"The R3AI in your head is indeed related to Professor Xu's plan, but it should not be made by Professor Xu."

"The thing that Professor Xu, my father, and Yang Yuanchang mentioned. It should be the key, and that thing is divided into three parts. ”

"R3AI says that thing in the Indian Ocean is a homolog, could it be one of them?"

Xiaotang's words made Xia Ming's inference more certain. If he could continue to communicate with Professor Xu, Xia Ming would like to get more information, but Xiao Huan's situation no longer allows for this. Liluo also warned that Xiao Huan would have to rest for at least a month or two before he could fully recover, and Xia Ming was unwilling to squeeze Xiao Huan like a tool.

So the focus is still ...... Salvage.

The matter of registering an exploration company with the Malaco shell company has been completed, but someone has to come forward with this shell, and the people on Xia Ming's side have already been exposed. Not suitable.

Xiaotang introduced a Belgian named Luc Metz, who is in the scientific research instrument circle and has no intersection with Yang Yuanchang. Moreover, he is also her senior brother majoring in materials science, and she should be able to trust him to organize experiments and production equipment in Europe.

The site to be salvaged is located in the exclusive economic sea area of the Seychelles. 440 km from Seychelles Bon. It is more than 40 kilometers away from the tourist resort of Alphonse Island.

To explore and salvage there, you have to get a permit. Xia Ming has already checked the relevant information, Huaxia has a good relationship with Seychelles, and he is ready to find a relationship from Shang Weidong, with Luc Metz coming forward. And pretending that it was Metz who was in demand, that he was just the middleman.

[Even if it's an old man, he won't run this kind of idle leg for you, right? ] 】

[Therefore, the discussion of the power armor plan after the Spring Festival is very critical, and the lottery will be obtained at that time. As long as you find a reasonable reason, Shang Weidong will definitely help. 】

Take Xiao Huan back to the residence. Xia Ming and Xiaotang are still discussing the details, of course, they are all chatting through God.

Exploration and dive vessels also have to be found separately. The exploration ship Metz can be found there, after all, there are many marine exploration ships in European countries. There are also idle dive ships in the country, and the remaining problem is just money.

[Is the money enough?] If not, I'll exercise a special withdrawal of shares from Ellio, and if I return some of my shares, I should be able to get one or two million dollars. 】

[There's no need, it will affect your Ellio plan, let me ask Li Diluo and Wu Sihao. 】

[Cicadas and illusions have become the cash vault of the Institute, will they understand?] 】

[Li Diluo is no problem, when his consciousness was connected before, he also came in, but it was very shallow, maybe he didn't understand it yet, but he understood that we were not just doing business. Wu Sihao's side is only concerned about the technical aspect, and the problem should not be big. 】

As for Lawrence's side, because the illusion and cicada movement are going to spread out in the United States, Xia Ming has not pinched his neck in the input, so there is no problem.

When calling the two of them, Xiaotang also went to contact Matz, and when both sides were done, Xia Ming and Xiaotang both sensed each other's joy.

[Let me say first, there's no problem with Metz's side, he's worried about a way out.] He earned a lot of money running errands for me before, and when he heard that I had something, he immediately changed his name to call me BOSS. I sense what you're thinking, he's really young, he's still a handsome guy, but ...... He's a Gay. 】

[I'm still not at ease, okay, just let him hang out outside. On my side, the situation is very encouraging. Thanks to Xiaohuan and your advertisement, the PC version of Prometheus has sold nearly half a million units, and the sales of the individual Galika and Alfalfa engines have also increased significantly, and the living money in the bank has reached nearly 40 million dollars. 】

Speaking of Prometheus PC version, Lin Cheng spoke on the public channel of God Chat: "Li Diluo sent a lot of follow-up development requirements, wanting to add more functions to artificial intelligence, in addition to interaction, he also wants to search, shop, and chat...... In short, I want everything. ”

"I feel like we've opened a Pandora's box, and this Prometheus computer version of artificial intelligence is equivalent to the QNI-assisted intelligence you are working on Naruko, which is an extension of people on the Internet."

"We have to think about the positioning of this thing, and the future development. If you want to go deeper, you can't rely on me alone, after all, I'm only good at the bottom of the world. We need to find another person who is well-versed in the design and algorithms of weak AI, such as DeepMind's Hassabis. ”

Xia Ming replied: "The weather is so nice today. ”

"Anyway, there has to be someone in this area", Lin Cheng was just joking.

This is easy, after the Spring Festival, Hasabis will come to China with chopping wood, and visiting the cicadas is an important part of their itinerary. Xia Ming decided to let Li Diluo contact Google, and when the time came, he arranged for himself to have an interview with Hasabis, set up some friendship, talk about cooperation, and dig up people by the way.

Xiaotang was thinking about Lin Cheng's words: "This artificial intelligence of Prometheus computer version has such a strong momentum, you have to pay attention." ”

Xia Ming was a little awe-inspiring, that's right, this artificial intelligence is still doing things like breaking temples and cutting down mountains, and it must have offended many people again, but ......

He said with a smile: "The Spring Festival is coming soon, what tricks do you want to do, the people below are also disheartened, we can be stable for at least half a month." ”

Xiaotang's words made him unable to laugh: "Since it's the Spring Festival, won't you take your girlfriend home?" Don't look at me, I'm busy. (To be continued.) )
