358 Saturn Scramble (6)
"The consciousness of robots is indeed a mystery!" Mordin agrees with her, "but maybe we are wrong, humans are always used to looking at robots from their own point of view, and if we think differently and look at humans from the perspective of robots, I don't know if there is a new discovery." ”
"Hey......! you have a very peculiar idea!" Mei Qing suddenly came to her senses, "Come on, tell me in detail!" She grabbed Mordin and asked him to sit down beside her, "Come and tell me what you think!"
"We usually think that the consciousness of robots is instilled by humans, at least in terms of software programs, whether this is true or not, but from the perspective of robots, if a robot is unexpectedly born consciousness, how should he see himself, how should he see the world, and how should he view humans who regard themselves as masters?"
Mordin's argument cannot be said to be unnew in Mei Qing's view, and it is even a little deviant. As we all know, artificial intelligence robots are supported by biomimetic software designed by humans, so the consciousness they are born must have a close relationship with these software, and it is also closely related to their designers: humans.
If, according to Mordin, the consciousness born by these artificial intelligence robots is an independent event, then it is like the stone that jumped out of the stone monkey on Huaguo Mountain, the monkey jumped out, but it has nothing to do with the stone.
"You don't have to look at me like that, you can actually be there...... Try it more on Brother Niu, and maybe, you will find another world. Mordin pursed his lips to avoid Mei Qing's increasingly fierce gaze.
"According to what you say, the consciousness of the robot is independent, so there is no difference between an ordinary mecha and a machine with an embedded companion?" Mei Qing asked rhetorically.
"Companion life may be wishful thinking of Western human beings, maybe not, I haven't studied this carefully, the consciousness of robots may not be born suddenly, they may be like human babies, consciousness has a process of awakening, perhaps, companion life is in the process of consciousness awakening, accept the owner's value instillation of it, but it is not necessarily useful, and it has to be observed!"
"I don't believe that my son would betray me!" Mei Qing said angrily, "He is like a child I have trained and absolutely obeys my orders!" she blushed and argued with Mordin.
"Huh...... You've become a qualified teacher, or...... A qualified mother!" Mordin replied unceremoniously.
"You...... Beg to beat!" Mei Qing was so angry that she raised her hand to hit him.
"Mei Qing!" There was a break from outside the door of the house, and Mei Zhong Yi appeared at the door.
"Xiao Mo came all the way to see you, why did you get involved with him?" he reprimanded his daughter.
Mei Qing was reprimanded by her father, but she didn't dare to talk back, so she had to turn her body around and stay with her back to Mo Ding, indicating that she was very angry.
"General!" Mordin quickly stood up, "Mei Qing, she doesn't really want to beat me, it's a joke!"
"Hmph...... Let's go, it's almost settled, let's go and wait for the notice together. The general beckoned Mordin over.
The two of them walked out the door together.
"It's such an old girl, and she still does her hands and feet all day long. The general dropped this sentence as he left the door.
"If you have the ability, don't let my dad protect you!" Mei Qing shouted behind her unconvinced.
Mordin had to laugh a few dry "hehe".
When I returned to the conference room, the old man on the big screen did not appear.
"Can it be settled so soon?" Mordin asked in surprise, according to his opinion, it would take half a day to say such a big thing.
"Very moment, very decision-making!" General Mei said lightly, and it could be seen that he was still preoccupied.
A few more people sat for a while, but no news came.
"Mordin!" suddenly someone shouted outside the door.
As the voice came in, a burly old man with gray hair walked in at the door, Mordin looked up and saw that it was really the old man who appeared on the screen, "Why did he come in through the door?" Mordin thought to himself.
When General Mei saw the old man, he quickly jumped up from his chair and made a military salute, "Chief, why did you come here in person?"
"I just want to see that amazing boy in person!" the old man said in a loud voice, laughing and striding into the room.
"Ah...... In addition to being mentally good, there are no three heads and six arms!" The old man's two sharp eyes swept over Mordin's body.
"Hello Chief!" Mordin quickly stood up and greeted.
"Come, come, sit down!" the old man beckoned everyone to sit down.
"This time the determination of the boss is very great!" After the old man sat down, his expression began to become grim.
Several people listened attentively to the old man's speech.
"Although the source of information provided by Xiao Mo cannot be conclusively verified, but judging from the intelligence from all aspects, the top is still inclined to act immediately, the emergency mobilization of all systems across the country, the sooner the better, strive to make all preparations within 3 days, and strive to surprise him before the robot and the Osme Group intervene, and fight him with a blitzkrieg with lightning action, and when they react, our spaceship is already on the way!" The old man waved his hand as he spoke, and it could be seen that he was originally from the military and had a vigorous and resolute style of doing things.
"Chief, three days, do you have time to prepare?" Mei Zhongyi asked worriedly.
"The Zhu Group has agreed to cooperate with us, and of the two existing space shuttle spacecraft, we have the right to directly use one of them if we decide together. As for other survey equipment, base camps, and transportation, the existing equipment in the country can be used for the landing project on Titan with only minor modifications, so the problem is not very big.
There are two tasks on the most critical issue now. The old man paused.
"What two jobs?" asked General May.
"One is that for such a big project, we must do a good job of secrecy and at the same time, we must also have second-hand preparations, that is, in case of news leakage, our opponents may carry out sabotage activities on the landing spacecraft, so we must send people to the spacecraft to do a good job of spacecraft safety and security in advance to ensure that it can be started normally after 3 days!"
"Then how can we not alarm the Osme Group and the robots, but also send people up to protect the ship?" General May asked.
"Don't worry, there's a second job. The old man motioned to General May not to interrupt him yet.
"The second task is particularly important, and that is this space shuttle, and we decided to carry out a manned flight. ”
"Huh?" General Mei and Professor Zhou were both surprised, all extraterritorial landings before this were carried out by artificial intelligence robots, and there had never been a precedent for a human landing on an alien planet, this time not only landing on distant Titan was the first time for human beings, but also to carry out manned landing, the danger of which was self-evident.
"In view of the fact that our failed Titan landing operation was mainly caused by the mutiny of robots, and this time there is no certainty that it can be avoided, so this time it was decided that the whole process of human intervention would be carried out by humans to completely block the possibility of mutiny of artificial intelligence robots. The environment for this landing is much more complicated than it was three years ago, so in order to ensure a successful landing, it is necessary to carry out manned flights. The old man said very firmly.
"Then take a few with you, have you decided on the candidates?" General May asked.
"The number of people can't be too large, it's useless to have more, we decided to take 3 people up, a security guard and general responsibility, a resource exploration and mining, and a mecha control, so the most critical security mission, I'm afraid it must be you!" the old man said, his eyes fixed on Mordin.
"...... me?" Mordin's head "buzzed", why did he get it for a long time and hit his head.
"Do you have any questions?" asked the old man, whose face instantly became kind, and he smiled.
"I ...... I made an appointment with a friend, and once this Saturn is gone, I won't be able to come back for ten days and a half months......" Mordin said.
"Hahaha...... Xiao Mo, the entire state apparatus has been mobilized for your suggestion, but you have to retreat at the critical moment! Between such a major national interest and your personal interests, I believe you will make a trade-off, right?"
"This ...... Who are the other two?"
"Both of them are old acquaintances of yours, and it is Lin Xuan who is in charge of resource exploration and mining. ”
"Lin Xuan?"
"That's right, Lin Xuan is an expert in refining materials, and he is responsible for the detection and excavation of palladium and zirconium hydrides, you should rest assured, right?" the old man said with a smile.
"Hmm...... He should be up to the task!" Mordin nodded, "And what about the other one?"
"The other one is Mei Qing!"
Everyone present, except for the old man, was shocked!
"How could it be Mei Qing?"
"Zhongyi, please forgive me for not consulting you in advance, we think Mei Qing has done the best job in mecha control, and her research is also the most in-depth, and her physical and psychological qualities are in line with the needs of this flight, this time is not a simple outer space flight, we also have to face all kinds of unknown dangers, when necessary, we have to prepare for battle, so, Zhongyi, are you reluctant to let Mei Qing go up?" The old man's tone was gentle, and there was some apology in his eyes.
General Mei stood up with a "huh!"
"Chief, for the sake of the national interest, Mei Zhong is willing to sacrifice his life, I think, Mei Qing, as a soldier and the descendants of soldiers, will have the same idea!" His tone was very firm, but Mordin found that there was a layer of mist in the corners of General Mei's eyes, and it could be seen that he was very reluctant in his heart.
"Okay! Let's not say anything discouraged, I believe that our landing project will be successful this time, and Mei Qing will definitely return smoothly and safely!" The old man waved his hand, "Xiao Mo, you are the soul of this project, you must ensure that Lin Xuan and Mei Qing are brought back safely, old man, I also believe that you have this ability!"
The old man slapped Mordine on the shoulder with his right palm.
"General Mei, don't worry, I will do my best to ensure Mei Qing's safety!" Mo Ding actually didn't have any bottom in his heart, but in front of a father, all he could do was to make him feel at ease as much as possible.
"Okay!Xiao Mo, Mei Qing will be handed over to you!" General Mei came up and held Mo Ding's hands tightly with a pair of strong hands, and Mo Ding could feel that his hands were actually trembling slightly.
This trip to Saturn is extremely dangerous, as a father, no matter how strong he is, the reluctance in his heart is absolutely unavoidable.
