Chapter 294: "Artificial Intelligence"
I don't know how long it took......
Song Xian woke up quietly, only to feel that his mind was groggy.
It was not only his mind that was groggy, but Song Xian felt that his surroundings were also chaotic, as if he was in a puddle of mud, unable to move his limbs, his mind was extremely slow, and even the air around him seemed to be still.
"I ...... Where am I?"
Song Xian tried to see his surroundings clearly, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open his eyes.
"How can this be ......"
Song Xian was a little flustered, and his body moved involuntarily. Then he discovered that he was equally unable to control his body. His neck, arms, and legs were all uncontrollable.
He didn't even feel their presence!
"Is this what it feels like to be a person after death......
Song Xian vaguely remembered what happened not long ago. At the time, he was walking down the path of the university campus and was about to go back to his dorm room to get some things. It was late in the evening, and there were very few people on the road. Just as he was passing through a dense grove, a dark shadow jumped out and attacked him.
Next, Song Xian only had some intermittent memory fragments.
He vaguely remembered that he was lying on the ground with a lot of blood on his head, and the blood must have flowed into his eyes, making his eyes red.
He just lay on the ground like that, I don't know how long it took.
Then, there was a blinding white light overhead, and the faces of people wearing masks......
Later, Song Xian remembered that there was a beautiful face, but he didn't remember the appearance. But Song Xian is sure that it must be a very beautiful girl.
As the memories slowly surfaced, Song Hyun gradually adapted to his current state. Slowly, for the surroundings. Song Hyun also had some feelings.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "You are finally awake." β
Song Hyun looked for the source of the sound in confusion, but he still couldn't see everything around him, as if he was blind.
"No more effort. The voice said, "You can't see anything now, you don't have eyes." More precisely. You don't have a body. β
"What are you talking about?" Song Xian was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
But strangely, Song Xian knew that he didn't speakβhe couldn't sense his own mouthβbut he knew unmistakably that he had completed the expression of the phrase "What did you say? Who are you?"
Sure enough, the voice replied, "You don't have a body now." You are just a soul, and to be correct, you are a thought, a memory, or a radio wave. No matter how specific it is, I can't tell. β
Song Xian didn't expect such an answer. What surprised him even more was in the back.
The voice then said, "As for who I am, in fact, I am you, and I am you, and you are me." We are all the same, all wisps of thought. β
Song Xian was taken aback! His eyes widened - at least he thought so. The answer given to him by the voice was in disbelief. However, Song Xian subconsciously knew. The other party is not lying.
Because, he can feel it himself, and what the other party is saying is the truth.
He can't perceive his own body, he can't see, he can't hear, he can't touch, but he can actually perceive the presence of his surroundings. At the same time, as he gradually adapted, the surrounding environment was no longer the chaotic one just now. Song Hyun could feel it, all around him. There is a lot of "stuff" in it. But what it is, he can't feel it yet.
"You said you were me, what's going on?" Song Hyun turned his attention back to the question, which was the most difficult for him to understand.
The voice seemed to laugh a little, and then said, "You don't have to worry. I'll tell you everything I know, slowly. First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Song Xian......"
"What, you ......"
"That's right, I'm Song Xian, and you're also Song Xian. I don't know exactly why, but I have some rough guesses, but I can tell you with certainty that we're the same person. Don't be in a hurry to ask, listen to me first. You just woke up, and I woke up half a month earlier than you. In the past half a month, I have experienced the same confusion and overwhelm as you do now. But as time went on, I got to know what it was and what it was. Here, it's another world. A world we've seen before, but never come to. Don't worry, you've just woken up now, and it won't be long before your perception will be the same as mine, and you'll confirm what I'm saying with your own eyes. β
Song Xian kept admonishing himself to be calm. Even though the other party became more bizarre the more he said, Song Xian still listened word for word. He knew it wouldn't be easy. What this guy who claims to be himself is probably true.
"So, where exactly is this place?" Song Xian asked.
"You must be no stranger, because when we were alive, we studied this major. Here, it's a world of 0s and 1s. β
"You mean, computers?!"
"That's right, this is the information world, or to put it another way, the two of us are now in the information flow. β
"It can't be!"
"Nothing is impossible. Like you, when I first found out about this, I thought I was crazy. But the more I felt later, the more evidence there was for it. I kid you not. This is the world of computers. Now we are a piece of information containing memories, and the two of us are alive between 0 and 1. Intuitively, we all belong to a computer program. β
"Impossible!" Song Xian became excited: "How can a person enter a computer, wouldn't that become artificial intelligence? Also, what does you mean by saying just now, 'Because we are alive'?"
"Meaning, the two of us are dead now. No, it's Song Xian, who is dead. And the two of us, each carrying Song Xian's memory, have become two digital lives. In fact, we are Song Xian, but we are no longer the human Song Xian of the past. Our being, in reality, is dead. β
While speaking, Song Xian suddenly "looked" at a picture that appeared before the meeting. It was a room. On a cold iron bed in the room, Song Xian was lying alone.
Song Xian "saw" clearly, it was himself.
"What you're seeing now is the signal I sent to you. This is the picture, which is the hospital surveillance video that I called up through some methods. As you can see, it's us, it's the real time, from the camera in the top corner of this room. On the bed was a corpse, our corpse. β
Song Xian stared at himself in the painting in a daze, and "himself" lay motionless on the bed. Song Hyun clearly knew that this was true. But he couldn't accept the fact that he was dead.
The other Song Xian seemed to sigh: "I understand your current mood, when I learned this result, I was just as uncomfortable as you." But that's just the way it is. That day in the school grove, I was suddenly attacked from behind and must have been badly injured. I just didn't expect it to hurt so badly. β
At this point, Song Xian had to believe that it was all true. He died in reality, and in the information world of the computer, his original memory and thinking were split into two "selves".
"Later, did you check who attacked us in the woods?" asked.
"Checked. But nothing was found. Another Song Xian said helplessly: "You also know that the grove we walked in at that time was relatively remote, although there were cameras near the dormitory building, but there were no in the grove." So ......"
"It was a man who attacked us, very stocky, dressed in gray clothes. Song Xian said unwillingly.
"How could I not know, don't forget, we have the same memory. We are the same people. Another Song Xian sighed, "But what's the use of knowing this? This little bit of information is too little, we can't see what that person looks like, even if I can call the world's cameras." But the sea of people is vast, and there is no trace at all. β
"Can you really call the world's cameras?" Song Xian asked curiously.
"Not only can I, but so can you. Speaking of which, the other Song Hyun seemed to be a little excited, and Song Hyun could clearly feel the abnormality of his mood.
"How?" Song Xian was also interested.
The other Song Xian's eyes lit up. Of course, this is a figurative statement: "I woke up earlier than you, so I know more about the world than you do." We are majoring in information technology, and you must know that for reality, the computer world is just a world composed of 'yes' and 'no', that is, the world of 0 and 1, which is a very flat world compared to the real world. Well, to put it another way, it should be called a flat world. The amount of information contained here is much smaller than that of the outside world, and what can be done is limited to changes in the data. But for the two of us, it wasn't so simple. We're not scientists, and I don't know much about the specifics. But at least, through this time of experimentation and exploration, I have a rough idea of what we can do here. It can be summed up in one sentence: In the computer world, we are gods! Through the influence of the digital world, we can even change the real world! Think of artificial intelligence! And we are more advanced than artificial intelligence!"
Over the next few days, as time went on, Song Hyun became more and more in control of his "body" as the other he had told him. The perception of the outside world is also becoming clearer. Song Xian can clearly feel that compared to the real world, this world of information and data is so narrow. It's not narrow in the ordinary sense, but it always feels like something is missing, which makes Song Xian feel restricted everywhere.
Another Song Xian's inference about this is that the computer world is made up of 0s and 1s, which is one dimension less than the real world. Now they are like creatures living on a flat paper, only long, wide and not high, so they always feel awkward.
"We're originally from 3D, and now we're in 2D, and the part of the stereoscopic data that we contain feels awkward. Of course, after a long time, you will get used to it. Another Song Xian said.
Regarding what the two call each other, another Song Xian thought of a solution.
"Do you remember the American drama we watched, "Edge of Crisis", about a parallel world, in which the old scientist is called Walter. And in the parallel world opposite them, there is also a Walter, and they are called the other Walter B. They are more similar than the two of us, we are from the same person. I woke up before you, I will be my brother, my name is Song Xianjia, you will be called Song Xianyi......"
At the same time, two days have passed in the real world, and Ge Wei came to Director Zheng's private club on time to make an appointment.
In front of the clubhouse, Ge Wei was stopped by a cold-faced man he had never met, and after identifying himself, the man said to Ge Wei nonchalantly: "Come with me." When you get here, you know what to say and what not to say, right? If I don't ask you, don't talk nonsense. β
Ge Wei frowned, who is this person? Why is this attitude? Ge Wei asked, "Where is Director Zheng?"
When the cold-faced man heard this, his face turned even colder, and he glanced at Ge Wei dissatisfiedly and said, "I said, I didn't ask you a question, so don't talk." β
It's so official. Ge Wei's brows furrowed even tighter, and he had a bad feeling. (To be continued.)
