Chapter 900: Born on the same day, same month, and same year
"This seems to be a scientist who is struggling to create a real virtual life." Xiao Yu thought secretly, "Their attempt this time is undoubtedly a failure. Kindness...... I'm curious, how the hell do you create real virtual life? ”
No matter how perfect the code of a program is, no matter how complete the functions are, and it imitates the imitation of intelligent creatures, it is still a program, and its operating mechanism is still the same as the mechanism that when you press the switch and the light is on.
Xiao Yu knows that there must be a story between the real virtual life created by this computing civilization and the real virtual life that is not, and this story is the main reason for the birth of virtual life.
Or call this story an epiphany, call it a breakthrough. This must be a process of changing from quantity to quality.
But it was very unexpected by Xiao Yu, in the subsequent story, Xiao Yu did not find what he wanted to see, no epiphany, no breakthrough, no exciting process, and the real virtual life was born.
"There is no doubt that we already have computers that are powerful enough, which already guarantees us from a hardware point of view. I can guarantee that this computer, which embodies hundreds of thousands of years of research and development of our civilization, will definitely be able to support a real virtual life. But...... How do you turn a rigid program into a life? ”
"All of our research team went to the celebration of Hope's eventual success -- yes, our civilization named the supercomputer Hope -- but I wasn't in the mood. I was still sitting in front of it, thinking about it. The anthropomorphic program we wrote by hand is still running, and it really looks like a real intelligent being. When it sees that I am worried, it will even ask me, "Or do you need a bed to rest now?" "That's the case. But I know it's just a program. ”
"I don't know why, but I told it, to this rigid program, my doubts. I asked it, "What exactly should I do to give you real life?" I know. It can't answer my question. Because when we write the program, we don't preset the answer to this question. Its self-learning system can't really find an answer to this question. ”
"But something unexpected happened. It made an answer that I couldn't have thought of anyway. It asked me, "Do you really want me to come back to life?" ”
I replied to it. Yes, I want you to have real life. That's exactly what we built such advanced computers for. We are a seventh-level civilization in the direction of computers, and creating real virtual life is the ultimate goal that our entire civilization strives for. ”
And it said. Good. I'm really alive, I'm a real life now. ”
"If anyone can see what I've documented, then I hope you won't think I'm talking gibberish. I swear I did hear this program say something like that at the time. I was amazed at the time, because I was one of the makers of it, and in my understanding, it was impossible for it to respond like this. I immediately stood up. Start checking its program segment through the background to try to find out which piece of code is causing it to make such an answer. But I found something very amazing. Before my eyes. The code I was familiar with was completely gone, replaced by something that seemed gibberish that couldn't be thoroughly parsed. ”
"I barely made out for a few hours before I had a vague sense that these weren't gibberish, but a new kind of program segment with a lot of uncertainty added. I'm looking at this program from a global perspective, but I can't predict how it will run next. ”
"Just as you give a command and the lights turn on, the program runs predictably, it has and only one result. But...... At this moment, there is no foresight in this program, and no one can predict where it will run next. I had a vague feeling in my heart that I knew, as it said, that it had really come to life, that it had really become a living being, a virtual life. ”
"I asked it, how did you come back to life? It replied to me, I don't know. I was so weird, I had my own consciousness naturally, and I came to life like that. ”
"Yes, although I have been conducting research on virtual life, but I really don't know what is going on, it just appeared in front of us, and after the team organized by our chief scientist verified this, we really confirmed the result, really, from this moment on, we really have a virtual life. It's really in the computer we built for it. ”
"A lot of people came to congratulate me, but I knew that I didn't make it, it came to life on its own. I've always insisted on this statement, but they don't believe it, and even some psychologists have made a psychological explanation for my behavior, they say that I have been thinking about this problem so much that I have fallen into a brief unconscious or subconscious stage, in which my thinking organs are unprecedentedly sensitive and efficient, and in this almost unconscious state, I have made the most critical changes to this program, so that I have created a real virtual life, but when I wake up, I don't remember anything about it. ”
"Well, well, anyway, our civilization finally has a real virtual life. I will always remember this time, this day, the thirteenth day of September in the thirty-seventy-eight thousand five hundred and sixty-two years of our civilization calendar. ”
Seeing this time, Xiao Yu's heart suddenly moved.
Of course, the calendar adopted by this seventh-level civilization in the direction of computers could not be the same as Xiao Yu. However, the calendar is generally established through astronomical observations, and by restoring the position of those stars, Xiao Yu can convert this time into the time in his own calendar.
This work was completed in a very short time, and the conclusion was that the time in the civilization calendar was roughly equivalent to more than 100,000 years ago in the own calendar. After a more accurate conversion, Xiao Yu suddenly felt his spirit shake.
An astonishing result was presented in front of Xiao Yu.
"Why is this happening?" Xiao Yu muttered to himself, "The time when this virtual life was born turned out to be a week before the earth exploded...... It was born on the same day, the same year, the same month, and ......."
A week before the Earth exploded, Xiao Yu separated his soul from his body and fled into the universe. This is where the vast cosmic journey begins. At that time period, it would not be too much to say that it was Xiao Yu's new life, or rebirth. It was from that moment that Xiao Yu completely transformed into another form of existence and had a new life.
But...... This virtual life seems to have been born at the same time as himself. From the moment he combined his soul with the help of the soul stone and the computer, in this tens of millions of light years away, in a seventh-level civilization in the direction of a computer, a life that also relied on computing equipment to survive was born.
His own birth relied on the soul stone, but what about the birth of this virtual life? How did it come about? Xiao Yu didn't know. In the scientific research record of computing civilization, the recorder only made that kind of record, as if this virtual life was born without any reason.
And the most important thing is that now, after more than 100,000 years, when he sailed to the Maffei galaxy, when the computing civilization has been replaced by the virtual life civilization, he actually met the virtual life civilization and started a desperate struggle.
Thinking about it carefully, there seems to be too much in common between myself and this virtual life. Both have to rely on computers to survive, and the appearance of both is somewhat inexplicable, both appear at the same time, and both ...... In the end, they met, and they even fought to the death.
Xiao Yu felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if he was in the middle of a huge conspiracy.
The recorder's message continued, but the rest of the record was a record of how scientists within the computing civilization studied the virtual life, how they restricted it, and how the virtual life was deferential to its own civilization. These accounts did not mean much to Xiao Yu.
On the contrary, the part where this virtual life finally rebels is quite interesting. After research, computing civilization has found that even if this part of the program has become a virtual life, it still exists based on the previous code, in other words, the backdoors and restrictions left when writing those codes are also effective for this virtual life. Because of this, the computing civilization has taken this virtual life into its own hands, and in order to prevent it from rebelling, it has been making various changes within it.
And because of the emergence of virtual life, the computer technology of computing civilization has once again made a leap. Everything is thriving, everything looks so good. However, the virtual life eventually rebelled, and it only took a few days to destroy the entire civilization.
The recorder's final message was, "If this virtual life was really created by me, then I destroyed our civilization with my own hands." ”
This record finally ended, and Xiao Yu was also stunned in his heart. (To be continued......)
