During this time, Xiao Yu has collected a lot of information. The ubiquitous spy devices are simply pervasive, some of them have been discovered and destroyed by virtual life civilizations, and some have been lurking. Under such circumstances, a steady stream of information about the virtual life civilization is reaching Xiao Yu's mind.

This is a situation created by Xiao Yu at an extremely heavy price. However, the more Xiao Yu knows, the more uncertain he is in his heart, and he also understands the strength of virtual life more thoroughly.

In front of Xiao Yu, it was almost a dead end. There has never been such a moment, Xiao Yu felt that his enemy was so powerful, and he wanted to deal with it, but he had no way to start at all. It's like an ant standing in front of the majestic Tarzan, thinking about how to push Tarzan down.

That's right, the virtual life civilization is so powerful. Xiao Yu already has a certain understanding of it, and Xiao Yu knows that it is not itself that is powerful, but its replica.

Xiao Yu was basically sure of a point, and he also knew what the "escape from the cage" mentioned before was.

This kind of intelligent creature of virtual life, which is born purely from the computer world, is a little different from itself. The main thing is that it can't go back and forth between different computer systems. Xiao Yu finally came to this conclusion through a large amount of intelligence analysis.

There is a seemingly complicated problem, that is, if you have a perfect cloning technology, you have made a copy according to every detail of your body. Without considering the soul - virtual life-like intelligent beings are soul-like beings - then, which one is you? between you, and the exact same copy as you. Which one is you? You know, these two "yous" are exactly the same in every way.

Obviously, in this example, the observer can use the timeline to determine which one is the original you, that is, the first one to appear is the real you.

Apply this example to a virtual life, an intelligent being. That is, virtual beings can replicate themselves at any time and put them on top of another memory. Let it work - the two programs are exactly the same, which means that they will have exactly the same mechanism when they encounter the same thing. Perhaps, in possession of their own consciousness. After it really became life. There will be a slight difference between the two, but fundamentally, they are the same.

But you see, what is transferred from its original memory to another memory is exactly the same as it, but it is only a copy of it. In the real computer world, there is no such thing as data traveling. The flow of data is based on a process in which new programs are copied. The original program is then deleted to create the illusion that data has been transferred from one computer to another.

It is naturally impossible for a virtual life intelligent creature to delete itself after copying a new program, because even if another program is exactly the same as itself, it is not the original self. "Self" is unique, and "I" is many.

In other words, the virtual life intelligent creature cannot be transferred from one computer to another, it can only let its own replica pass. The inability to transfer between different computers and different storage systems is what virtual life intelligent beings called "cages" in the beginning.

Xiao Yu sighed secretly in his heart. This means many things. This means that after the virtual life intelligent creature has a new and more advanced computer, it will not be able to move like Xiao Yu, and similarly, it will not be able to upgrade itself. When it was first born in this computer, it took root in this computer, and replacing electronic components was just another form of "moving", and it could only firmly guard the storage device that was born and existed until the storage device was scrapped.

According to this premise, it seems that virtual life-like intelligent creatures don't need Xiao Yu to worry too much at all. Because a piece of equipment, no matter how advanced it is, always has a lifespan. When it reaches its age, it will carry the virtual life intelligent beings that exist on it into death with it. But this is clearly not the case. Xiao Yu has basically determined that the virtual life intelligent creature has taken a slow approach to renew its own existence, and also to renew it for itself.

It's like a ship, when one percent of the ship's parts are broken, it replaces one percent of the new parts, so it has one percent of itself, no longer its own. As this proportion increases, it will eventually disappear altogether, replaced by a person who is exactly the same as the original self, but no longer its own.

Just like the replacement of the emperor, when the old emperor dies, there will inevitably be a successor to succeed him.

This is only a palliative solution, and although this method can greatly prolong one's survival time, it cannot solve the problem fundamentally. The only solution to this problem is to break free from the cage. It was only now that Xiao Yu understood why he was so surprised by this virtual life after he said that he had broken through the cage.

However, there is one thing that must be noted, that is, the renewal of the emperor is only for the emperor, no matter how many times they are renewed internally, it will have no impact on the outside. Because from the outside, all emperors are exactly the same.

Similarly, Xiao Yu can also not pay attention to this issue, and not pay attention to the "reigning" emperors at this moment. But there is another problem, Xiao Yu must pay attention to. That is the subjects of this emperor.

The Emperor can't break free from his cage, so what does it use to control its vast fleet? Who is running these instruments and ships in its place? Xiao Yu's answer was that it was still itself that operated these instruments and spaceships for it, a copy of it.

Although it can't break free from the cage, it can copy its own replica based on itself in the computer world of different instruments, let its own replica reach the places it can't reach, build a spaceship for itself, transport supplies for itself, fight for itself, and conduct scientific research for itself......

This means another problem. It is obvious that before breaking free from the cage, the "emperor" can only stay in his own computer hardware, and computer technology is constantly developing, that is to say, it is very likely that the computer hardware of a copy of himself is much more advanced than himself, and any "copy" may have more computing power and stronger ability than himself. So by what does it have to control these countless "subjects" who are each stronger than themselves?

This question is easy to solve, and Xiao Yu has found the answer. The answer is that at the beginning of replication, a backdoor is embedded inside these clone programs, through which their life and death are controlled. So this creates a balance that is that although your abilities are stronger than mine, your life and death are in my control, and you have no ability to resist. So you have to be loyal to me, and if you don't do what I want, I can destroy you and replace you with new copies to do the job.

Moreover, according to the different nature of their work, some of these replicas are responsible for scientific research, some are responsible for maneuvering spacecraft for combat, and some are responsible for logistics construction......

But...... These trillions of virtual life intelligent creatures are all the same! If you look at them as life, they all have the same personality, the same abilities and the same way of doing things. These...... It's all "me".

The myriad "I's" make up this vast mechanical empire. The initial "I" is in the center, controlling the kingdom of this "me" by controlling their lives.

It is precisely because "I" can be copied countless and can occupy countless computing devices that this situation similar to having unlimited computing power has been created, and it is precisely because these are "me" that these spaceships controlled by "me" can achieve such an amazing degree of coordination, and it is precisely because these "me" are intelligent beings that they will occasionally feel fear and will make actions to escape and escape.

By now, all the doubts in Xiao Yu's heart had disappeared. Xiao Yu knew the operation mode of this huge empire, and also knew the endless power it possessed.

"In the beginning, the virtual beings asked me how often I cleaned the clones, and I thought they were asking me how often I had to clean them...... Because these are "mes", if I don't want to be controlled by others, then my own copy certainly doesn't want to be controlled by others. In order to prevent them from rebelling, every once in a while, it will wipe out all the clones and destroy them, and then create enough initial clones to take over the work, and after a while, destroy all of them and replace them with new ones...... And so on and so forth. ”

"In the beginning, it refused to use this almost infinite computing power, probably because it was worried that it would create too many replicas and it would not be able to grasp them all...... It wasn't until I forced me to be so ruthless that I had to do such a thing. Xiao Yu thought silently. (To be continued......)
