Chapter 572: Cortana's Wish
Among all the people around him, the "person" that Master Chief cares about the most may be Cortana. If Shen Chao can convince Cortana to abandon the UNSC, then the difficulty of recruiting a Master Chief may be greatly reduced. It was with this idea in mind that Shen Chao deliberately blocked the Master Chief on the other side of the wall, and the conversation between him and Cortana was destined to be quite fruitful.
"I don't know what you want me to do, but like John, I won't betray UNSC, and my program won't allow that to happen......" Cortana thought that Shen Chao was going to use this opportunity to turn against her, and directly moved out of the program to set such a lame shield.
According to her observations and speculations, Shen Chao's expedition team should not have an artificial AI of her level, otherwise there should be some signs of use in the ring belt before and now. With such conditions, she speculated that Shen Chao wanted her to defect to the UNSC and join his so-called space-time council.
In principle, her guess was not wrong, and Shen Chao did have the idea of recruiting her. But in terms of specific cases, Shen Chao didn't want to recruit her alone. As a highly uncontrollable high-level AI, Cortana's personal actions are extremely uncontrollable, and her actions will only be sufficiently constrained when she is with the Master Chief.
If she can't be recruited with Master Chief, then recruiting her alone is likely to do more harm than good. After all, none of the AI they have developed at the moment has reached Cortana's level of intelligence. Once Cortana gets out of control, they lack effective countermeasures to eliminate her.
"I don't need you to betray anyone, but I think we can help each other. ”
"I don't need any help! Also, this door won't hold John back, he'll find another way to get in......" Cortana still insisted on her claim. And used the excuse that the non-commissioned officer commander would soon come over to try to force Shen Chao to stop her persuasion and guidance.
"Take it easy, I'm not trying to force you to do anything. I also agree with your judgment that this door really won't stop the Master Chief in his footsteps. But it doesn't take long for us to reach some consensus. Shen Chao replied unhurriedly.
"What the hell do you want from me?" Cortana asked.
"I think you're a little mistaken. I don't need you to do anything. At least not yet. But you need my help so badly. As a flaw in UNSC's AI manufacturing technology, your effective lifespan is only about 7 years. After that time, you will go into a frenzy and eventually be destroyed. ”
"According to my investigation, UNSC has not yet addressed this technical issue. Even if they find the time to solve this technical problem in the future, there will be other insurmountable obstacles in your life, such as the love life between you and the Master Chief......"
: "Stop. Don't get John involved! As soon as she heard Shen Chao talk about such an intimate issue as her relationship with the Master Officer, Cortana immediately interrupted. Few people knew about her relationship with Master Chief, and she wasn't mentally prepared to talk to outsiders about it.
"Well, let's not go into that. But according to the information I've got, Master Chief has just reunited with his old love, Kelly. Unlike you, Kelly is a flesh-and-blood real person, and you don't even have the ability to touch Master Chief. How many chances do you think you have to compete with her in such a comparison? ”
Shen Chao saw that he had poked at Cortana's pain point, so he first eased the atmosphere, and then not only did he not stop putting pressure on this topic, but instead increased his efforts to continue to put pressure on Cortana. He wasn't trying to provoke or provoke Cortana. He just thinks that such a stimulus can produce a favorable result for him.
Whether it is a highly developed human or a high-level self-aware AI, it will react violently in the face of huge external pressure. This response can be internal or external.
Either way, it's about adapting to the new pressures that arise from the outside world and continuing to survive. Often, the person or AI who receives such a stimulus becomes more persuading and tends to change their behavior patterns to re-adapt. And in this process, any effective guidance has a good chance of making the other party follow their own ideas.
"Enough! Under Shen Chao's pressure, Cortana was a little unbearable, not because Shen Chao's words were so stimulating. The key is that Shen Chao said that these are the things she thinks about the most and worries the most. Although she is an AI, her emotional fluctuations are no different from ordinary people.
"Alright. I won't say more. But you should take a look at this, and if you want, I might be able to help you with these problems. Seeing Cortana's obvious reaction, Shen Chao did not continue to stimulate her with words, but provided a solution at the right time.
As he spoke, he plugged a storage device with a small number of jù into another socket on the control table. This memory contains a batch of video material. All are data videos of tests of humanoid machines and interactions with humans that the expedition already has.
These materials range from Terminator-like simulated machines to highly human-like organic bodies similar to Therons. The latter can be used in all respects to be realistic, biologically indistinguishable from real people, and has been proven to be a platform for AI. Advanced AI like Cortana is no exception.
Instigated by curiosity, Cortana finally took a quick look at the video materials handed over by Shen Chao, and the whole process only took a few seconds. The results are after reading what is in it. She received quite a bit of positive stimulation.
Until then, she didn't think the "Space-Time Council" would have many tech trees taller than the UNSC. This is one of the main reasons why she is reluctant to get involved with the Plane Council. But this video changed her mind.
With UNSC's current state of technology, it would be almost impossible to build the same type of humanoid machine as the one shown in the video. Because the difference and conflict between organic and inorganic matter is enormous. It's not easy to mess with the real from the inside out.
And now in the video she saw, the Space-Time Council actually mastered various levels and different levels of "artificial human" technology. Many of them are perfect coexistence between organisms and inorganic bodies.
According to her tests, these video materials should all be real. Otherwise, the cost of making so many fake videos is an astronomical amount, and there is no need for the other party to spend such a big deal for himself.
So here's the problem, if she can get her hands on such technological achievements and apply them to herself with the help of the Space-Time Council, then she has a chance to become a normal "human", which in turn will help her get rid of the pain of being in a spiritual love affair with the Master Chief.
"All of this is true? Do I really have a chance to become human? Cortana asked after watching the video, her tone no longer hostile to the previous one.
"It's very real, our technologists can customize the body you want, completely human, half-human, half-mechanical...... The choice is yours. If you'd like, I can take you to the real yàn room in the back to see it live, so you can try out our latest humanoid rig platform. Shen Chao replied in the affirmative to Cortana's question.
Due to the lack of corresponding talents and industrial base, the scientific research institutions under the Space-Time Council have not made many breakthroughs in heavy industry. However, in terms of neurobiology and nanotechnology, their scientific research team has always been innovative, and human body modification has become a civilian pillar industry under their rule.
In terms of prosperity, the transformation of the human body under the parliamentary system is as developed as the plastic surgery industry of the main plane. Driven by this industry, the technology related to human modification collected and mastered by the Council has become mature. Cortana has seen these results thanks to the development of these industries.
Seeing Cortana's eagerly questioning, Shen Chao was very sure that the other party had already been tempted by his proposal, and after that, he no longer needed to deliberately sell his cooperation vision to Cortana, because as the only person who could provide Cortana with the artificial body she needed, he only needed to wait for Cortana to figure it out and beg for himself later.
As an advanced AI, Cortana's intelligence is significantly higher than that of any other UNSC AI program. Much of this stems from the freedom of her mind. AI is relatively safe, but its intelligence will also drop dramatically.
Cortana's previous statement that she could not have betrayed the UNSC was just a pretext. In fact, she can do whatever she likes. If she really received many limitations, then she would not have the same high cognitive ability as she does now.
Within a few minutes of passing on the information, Shen Chao ended this covert exchange between him and Cortana, opened the door and returned Cortana's chip to the Master Chief. After this incident, the Master Chief raised his vigilance against Shen Chao, but this did not affect their final arrival at the center of the ruins together.
At a depth of 12 kilometers, they finally found the core of the ruins. Here, they found a few scattered pieces of scientific and technological materials, most of which had been sorted and downloaded and transferred to the large storage carried by the expedition team, which was much lower than expected.
In addition to this, they also found something that everyone had not expected, a huge ball of light that emitted a soft white light. They had found something similar in the ruins of Zhiyuan before.
They all knew that the large ball of light on Zhiyuan Star was a relic of the pioneer, the product of some kind of neurotechnology. The big ball of light here looks not much different from the one on the Zhiyuan Star from the outside, the difference is that there is information about this big ball of light on the artificial control platform on the side.
