Chapter 15 Artificial Intelligence and Mechanical Life
The three of them walked around and came to an open space that resembled a tarmac, where many boat-like aircraft were parked. In Asgard, these aircraft are called light boats.
The operation of the light boat is very simple, and it is not much more difficult than operating a car. At this moment, it was Suanna who was manipulating the light boat, and I saw that she gently put her jade hand on the rudder, her eyes looked ahead, and the whole process was relaxed and freehand.
Ian looked at her and asked with some curiosity, "Since you Asgard are so advanced in technology, why don't you get an intelligent system and let the light boat find its way home?" ”
Pan Sen didn't have a tech-related string in his head, so he didn't care about it at all, but Sana was obviously an expert in this area, "You Midgard humans should have seen a lot of intelligent systems, so what is the difference between it and our Asgardian technology?" ”
Ian saw that this was to test him, in his previous life, he couldn't receive a high-end education because of family reasons, but he was also a serious college graduate, so the simple question was not difficult for him. "In the days I've been in Asgard, I've found that the biggest difference between you and the Earth is energy! And even the control of warships seems to be manual, which is very far from all the earth where intelligence is the frontier of science and technology. ”
Sana raised her eyebrows and smiled charmingly, "It seems that you were not illiterate when you were on Earth!" But you're only half right! ”
"Which half?"
"You're right about the difference in energy, most of the earth's scientific and technological energy is used in its own resources, petroleum minerals, etc., even electricity and other energy sources are mostly dependent on the environment. But Asgard's energy comes from light! Sana said, pointing to the sun in the sky.
"Light? You mean...... Solar energy? Ian asked, confused.
"No, it's just light, all kinds of light can be used effectively in Asgard. As we all know, as long as the human eye can see, it proves that there is light in the space. And with light, Asgard's technology can turn it into energy. ”
"Hey, that's hanging!" Ian let out a big gasp.
Sana said proudly: "That's how it hangs!" It's not that other energy sources can't be used, it's just that light energy is more convenient. Very satisfied with Ian's surprised expression, but in a blink of an eye, he said seriously: "But this is not the biggest difference between the two. In fact, even such a backward place on earth has intelligent programs, how can Asgard not have it? ”
The corners of Ian's mouth twitched, "What you say sounds so harsh to me!" ”
Sana continued, "You Midgardians must have been moving in the direction of artificial intelligence while developing technology! ”
Ian nodded, "Yes, but AI is very difficult to achieve, even the strongest country in the world has not made much progress, uh, it may be that there is progress and I don't know!" ”
Hearing this, Sana pursed her lips, "I think it's a good thing that there is no progress. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"It's not that Asgard doesn't have the strength to make artificial intelligence, it's that it prohibits the development of artificial intelligence! Because artificial intelligence has the potential to evolve into mechanical life! Sana said with a serious face.
"What is mechanical life?"
"Mechanical life is a form of life based on metal elements, and their core is programming, and we in Asgard have dealt with a mechanical life. They are aggressive and intend to exterminate humanity. But he was ruthlessly educated by the soldiers! It was Pan Sen who answered, and looking at his unconcerned face, it seemed that the mechanical life was not too threatening.
Before Ian could ask, Sona continued: "Mechanical beings have various appearances, most of them are made of metal, and their core is indeed a program, but that is just artificial intelligence, and the reason why they become mechanical beings is because they have gained souls!" ”
"Soul?" Ian's eyes were full of curiosity, but in his heart he remembered some robot that could turn into an airplane, a tank, and a big truck.
Sana nodded, "The beginning of mechanical life is artificial intelligence, but once it has a soul, it can be called life, and the birth of a soul is incomprehensible to anyone. Or a lightning bolt, or a ray of light, or even a sound shock can be the trigger for the birth of a soul! Therefore, the more developed the civilization of artificial intelligence, the easier it is to be replaced by the mechanical civilization! That's why Asgard has banned the development of artificial intelligence. Then Sona changed her tone and said, "But we also have our own auxiliary system, but it is developed on the basis of light energy technology!" ”
"Huh? Aren't you afraid that this auxiliary system of light technology also has a soul and then traps you? Ian asked curiously.
"This is different, because there have long been life forms in the universe composed of pure light, but they are all rare species, and these rare species do not have replication, that is, they cannot form civilizations. However, mechanical life has the property of self-replication, and can quickly form a new civilization on the basis of the original civilization! ”
Ian nodded with a raised posture and said, "What kind of civilization are the rest of the races of the Nine Kingdoms?" ”
"That's a lot, for example, Warnerheim is a very popular magical civilization, and the dark elves you came into contact with a few days ago, their technology is based on the dark element, and they are also very proficient in the use of space technology. It's the most chaotic civilization in your Midgard, with a mess of magic and technology! "Sana said and looked at Ian with a deep meaning, as if to say, 'The little one is not really recruited, which kind of civilization are you a lackey of civilization?'
Ian slowly wiped his sweat, "I'm just an ordinary person, at best, I use the computer to play backgammon and fight landlords, and I have nothing to do with my skills." I've heard of magic, but I've never seen magic or anything! ”
Pan Sen didn't suspect anything, waved his hand and said unconcernedly: "It's okay if you haven't seen it, the province is preconceived." I'll send you to school tomorrow so I can teach you. ”
When Ian heard this, he immediately said, "How do you Asgard strengthen yourself, purely by training?" ”
Pan Sen and Sana burst out laughing when they heard this, "What do you think, if it is useful to rely on exercise, then Asgard is not a reckless man with knotted muscles all over the streets!" ”
Pan Sen said and took out a stone from his bosom that shimmered with a faint fluorescence, the stone was round and shiny, and the surface looked full of infinite charm, "This is a strengthening stone, and it has the most peaceful law power in it, and we have been strengthening ourselves by using him since we were children." As he spoke, he handed it to Ian, "As long as you hold it in the palm of your hand and meditate on it with your heart, you can let the power of the law enter your body and strengthen yourself!" ”
Ian touched the stone and didn't blindly enter into meditation, but asked, "This seems to be very similar to the use of the Godhead!" ”
"Basically, the path is the same, but the power of the laws in the Godhead is very complete and has its own characteristics, and it is not suitable for beginners. The power of the law of the strengthening stone is mostly missing and has strong applicability, which is suitable for most children. Panson nodded in acknowledgement.
Ian said, "Understood." "But I already have my own understanding in my heart, this strengthening stone is like a basic internal strength, suitable for children of any qualification to lay a foundation. And the godhead is equivalent to peerless divine skill and there are different types, but only if the physical foundation is strong enough can it reach the cultivation standard!
After thinking about it, there is no fear of the strengthening stone in his hand, and there should be no danger in this universally applicable thing. Gently closing his eyes and feeling with his heart, Pan Sen and Sana looked at each other and smiled lightly without disturbing.
In the end, Asgard is based on light energy technology, and even strengthening the body is bright, Ian looked at the flickering light around him and thought to himself, blessed to the soul, and took the initiative to move his mind closer to those lights. Sure enough, a few points of light slowly drifted towards him in the light, and one by one the points of light scattered to every part of his body. Through the skin, into the flesh, into the bones, the small body suddenly has no fatigue, as if the whole body is full of strength, but in contrast to the mental trance, just like a primary school student doing math problems for two hours in a row.
"Whew!" Ian opened his eyes and exhaled softly to look at the two of them.
"I can enter the state for the first time, and the qualifications are not bad, but it only lasted about fifteen minutes, which means that it is just average!" Sana chuckled and made a final decision.
"After all, the one who crossed the possession is an elven and human half-blood, and his qualifications will not be much worse." Pan Sen followed the mending knife.
Ian drooped his eyelids and said, "And how long did your daughter last?" Listen to you boast of her as if there is no other in heaven and on earth! ”
Pan Sen raised his head proudly and hummed, "I'm afraid to hit you when I say it, Jamie's first perception of the enhancement stone lasted for twelve hours!" ”
“……”
Looking at Ian's depressed appearance, Pan Sen was very cool, with an expression that Lao Tzu's genes were really strong, and Suona looked away with disdain.
But he didn't guess what Ian was thinking, "Cut!" What's the big deal, generally this kind of talented woman is a member of the harem prepared for pig's feet! Of course, the premise is that she is beautiful enough, but looking at the virtue of your gorilla, it is estimated that she is also a female King Kong! ”
