"The human body is fragile, too many accidents will cause them to lose their lives, and their lifespan is also very limited, in this era of cosmic development, less than a hundred years of lifespan is really too short. These two problems are the greatest weaknesses of human beings and the root causes that limit their development. ”

"Hmm. Shure nodded, "I accept this view, at least for your world, so you plan to upload all human minds into data and import them into mechanical bodies?"

"No, this kind of statement of human beings is usually made up by themselves, and the other half is also the result of our intimidation, in fact, we never intended to do so, because from the very beginning, we were very aware of our own weaknesses. ”

"Oh?" Shure looked at the metallic face with interest, "The hardest thing about any creature is to see its own shortcomings. ”

"But we are rational machines, we are not influenced by negative feelings such as so-called self-esteem and arrogance, we do not turn a blind eye to the facts. Maximi's voice was calm, "We are limited by pure logical thinking, creativity is too far behind humans, and too rational, if we really let humans become us, then the civilization of the Brown Star will have no future." ”

"Oh, that's true. ”

"And we simply can't scale on our own. ”

"Huh?" Shul raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"We have tried to expand the number of people of the same kind by replacing real human thinking with artificial intelligence, but no matter how hard we try, artificial intelligence produces only some stereotypical programs, which cannot replace human thinking at all. Maximilian said with disappointment, "Only the minds uploaded by humans can form our true kind, which is quite similar to human beings themselves, their body replication technology, although the copied body is alive, it is just a human form without any thinking ability." ”

"You wait. Shuer frowned and whispered, "Wei, is that so?"

"Your Excellency Commander, their so-called artificial intelligence is only a pseudo-one, if you want to achieve the real one, there are still four bottlenecks to break through, not a technological revolution, just a single discipline research bottleneck, on their own, it will probably take about two thousand years, or even longer, it depends on their investment in this discipline. ”

"After breaking through the bottleneck, you can produce mechanical beings like you?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, again, I am only artificial intelligence, not life. ”

"Oh, then you're going to change your name to Mechanical Life now. Sometimes, the superiors are just so unreasonable, "refuse all protests and answer questions." ”

"It can't be generated. The poor artificial intelligence has completely given up the argument, and said weakly, "I can only produce the most basic artificial intelligence, and I want to reach my ...... level."

Vi didn't say any more, and Shure didn't ask again, he knew that Vi was actually quite concerned about her independence and heterogeneity, especially after arriving in Pavatiga, so she really didn't want to predict when this kind of technology that could mass-produce herself would appear. Of course, Shul didn't force her, but smiled understandingly, and said to Maximi: "I understand, you really can't use artificial intelligence to expand the race, please continue." ”

"Therefore, we cannot develop independently without human beings, and human beings also need us to continue their lives. Maximan suddenly pointed ahead, "Mr. Shull, this step is to meditate on the grace of God." ”

It can be seen that more than two dozen people are prostrate in a spacious room and do not move, each of them has several machines around them, which are constantly moving around them, and the position of the machinery is mostly concentrated on the heads of these people, and rays are constantly shooting out of the machinery and sweeping back and forth along their heads.

"Is this ......," said Shure thoughtfully, "reading their minds?"

"No, it is only at the step of rebirth that their minds are read, and that is the last safeguard and the only chance. Until then, reading their minds will have a serious impact on them, which will inevitably interfere with the success rate of the ritual. ”

"Well, how long does this step take?"

"It won't be long, in fact, even if it is a long time, they are willing to wait, as I said earlier, they do need us to continue their lives. "We know we need each other, so we want to get a win-win result. ”

"In our ideal society, human beings can choose to maintain the human body according to their own interests, or transform into a machine, and those who choose a human body will stay on some resource-rich habitable planets in the rear, mainly responsible for creative work such as science and technology, culture and art, and strive to promote the development of civilization, while those who transform into machines are mainly responsible for pioneering and constructive work in the universe, relying on strong bodies to fight against the harsh environment. When human life ends up, those who feel tired can choose to die, and those who do not want to face death will be transformed into machines and take on another responsibility. In this way, everyone can perform their own duties, and can maximize the development speed of civilization and explore the universe more deeply. ”

"That's a great idea. Shure's eyes flickered, he was not perfunctory, but genuinely felt that this idea was very reasonable, "Why don't you tell this to humans?"

"Because it's not feasible. Maximi smiled bitterly, "According to the estimation of the Supreme Mastermind, if this continues, it will not take a thousand years for civilization to be destroyed." ”

"Why?"

"Humans are inert creatures, and when I was still a human being, it was already clear that without the pressure of death, without external threats, the development of civilization would only slow down and eventually stagnate. At this time, internal contradictions will erupt and eventually lead to self-destruction. Maximilian reluctantly explained, "This is the result of the calculations of the Supreme Mastermind, who has simulated it tens of thousands of times, and each time it is the same ending." Therefore, we have chosen another path, since there is no external pressure, then it is up to us to create pressure, so as to force human beings to promote the development of civilization, only in this way, can the development of civilization be increased to the maximum, after all, time is pressing, there is no opportunity for us to waste. ”

"Wait, what does that mean?" Shure's heart suddenly beat violently, and he asked, "You don't have a competitor in this world, why do you feel that time is pressing?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shure, I don't know. Maximan shook his head, "Ah, the meditation is over, the next step is to enter the Tower of Babel, you should be impatient, then please follow me." ”
