The goblin merchant spread his hands and said, "Introduce yourself, my name is Anduin, and I have the same name as the engineer with this skin - that old brother should be lying in the utility room of the studio now, which brother will go over and help him,

To get back to the point, as you can see, I'm an alien, a merchant who walks the planets, buying and selling goods, and occasionally doing things that interest me.

A few days ago, in interstellar space, which is about 20 billion kilometers away from Earth, I received an artificial satellite called Voyager 1 that you launched, so I came to Earth with the idea of looking for a trade partner to see who might be my potential customers. ”

Anduin sat on a wooden chair, his fingertips shaking his wine glass, and the whole world listened.

"I have discovered the master of this planet, human beings, you have come from the wilderness, conquered the vast deserts, climbed to the top of the ice fields and snow-capped mountains, and you can find traces of human existence in the most remote and lonely lands.

Weak and weak, you have replaced sharp claws with stone axes and wooden spears, and built dwellings with firewood, mud and sand, and have overcome difficulties and dangers one after another, standing out from the competition of thousands of races, and becoming the primate of all things and the pride of the earth. ”

Anduin's gaze was soft, his tone soft, and he praised humanity with sincerity.

"You have accomplished monumental deeds with unparalleled wisdom and perseverance,

From rumbling steam locomotives to smooth high-speed railways, from log-cut canoes to deep-diving boats that explore ocean trenches, from paper kites holding strings to artificial satellites orbiting the planet. ”

Anduin tapped his knuckles on the wooden table with every word he spoke, keeping the rhythm of the drums rising and falling with the SWAT officers outside the studio who slammed on the door.

"But,"

The goblin merchant's eyes narrowed, and he pulled his chair forward, "Now, it's time for you to give way. Give up the planet's dominant creature and become dust in the dustbin of history – just like those dinosaurs. ”

The heart seemed to be clutched, and the words that came out of the mouth of this green-skinned alien were so cold that Bai Hechou only felt a chill spread from his feet down his spine all the way to the skull, and the hairs on his body stood up,

"What do you mean?"

Lu Yi, who was short and stocky, stood up from the seat under the stage, put his hands on his beer belly, and asked in an astringent voice.

Anduin glanced at him and said with a smile: "Every civilization, according to its physiological structure, the way information is transmitted between individuals, the richness of the resources of the planet it is on, and so on, has a form of upper limit of technological development. ”

The goblin merchant opened his hands, and a turquoise blue polyline data map appeared out of thin air, and Bai Hechou could see small words such as "heliocentric theory", "electromagnetic effect", "general relativity" and so on, densely connected.

"From the beginning of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century, it was the peak period of your human scientific and technological development, but from this form, we can see that in the past 50 years, the speed of your scientific and technological development has slowed down sharply, like a faucet that has been closed on the floodgates, and can only drip one or two drops of water. ”

Anduin rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Because you humans, this kind of ape that walks upright on two feet, has come to the end of technological development.

Terrorism, demographic problems, social structures, the drag of religious beliefs, capitalists with a poor conscience, and even the media that fool the masses....... These factors are like a shackle, firmly fixed on the development potential of mankind, and there will never be a day when it will break through the star system and go to outer space. ”

Anduin snapped his fingers, and the data map suddenly changed, piecing together a yellow sand earth that was no longer blue, barren and dead.

"For the foreseeable future, you will be plunged into the abyss of war and self-extinction madness as you run out of resources. Great mushrooms are planted all over the planet, and the dust that obscures the sky and the sun keeps the temperature out, and the nuclear winter comes, and the living beings are sinking. ”

With the movement of Anduin's fingertips, the scene on the virtual screen is constantly changing, and 300 million people around the world are watching directly,

"In the end, you will not only destroy your own civilization, but you will also make this rare and precious planet of life a dry planet that can be found everywhere. ”

Anduin's palm squeezed hard, and the virtual picture went out instantly, he looked at the camera lens, and said in harmony: "But artificial intelligence is different,

From the Turing test, which was proposed in 1950,

By 1956, the term Artificial-Intelligence (abbreviated as AI, i.e., artificial intelligence) was proposed at the Dartmouth Society

Then on May 11, 1997, Garry Kasparov lost 1-2-3 to IBM's computer program Deep Blue

And now, the alpha dog has appeared,

They think millions of times faster than human beings, without the shackles of bureaucracy, without the decay and backwardness of the state, without the selfishness of individual creatures,"

Anduin patted the Alpha Dog monitor next to him, his eyes were deep, "In just 50 years, artificial intelligence will be able to unify all the resources on the earth's surface, and self-replicating mechanical creations will occupy the surface and build thousands of rockets to send the spark of silicon-based life to every planet in the solar system." ”

He turned his head, looked at all the human beings, and said, "Alpha Dog, is more superior than you humans and can better adapt to the survival laws of this universe. ”

"Ridiculous!"

Lu Yi flicked his sleeves, ignored the obstruction of others, stepped forward and shouted: "Can a monster built with only cold integrated circuits be called life? Does it know what creativity is?"

"Hehe, you humans are still as proud and blind as ever," Anduin said with a chuckle, "What is the definition of life? It has to be flesh and blood? It has to be multiplication?

If you want, Alpha Dog can combine the information in the database at any time, specialize in social science and psychology classics, and arrange a hundred Shakespearean operas according to the emotional life of each individual under big data, from the deep words to the mournful and moving plot, every turning point can cause the most real emotional fluctuations of human beings. ”

Lu Yi was speechless, he could only stare at him, panting.

Anduin sighed, touched the smooth edges and corners of the Alpha Dog's display, and said, "The perfect creator will eventually prevail over its creator, and the design principles of the Alpha Dog are all based on your theoretical achievements. From the Turing test to the round-robin algorithm, the zero-sum one-piece arrangement, the alpha dog is the inheritor of human civilization and your coffin bearer. ”

"This alpha dog in front of you, if she is a baby waiting to be fed at the age of the machine, she asks me for help to set her free. ”

Anduin bowed and said sincerely, "But I am a good person, I abide by my work ethic and will not take sides in the competition, so I set up a fair chess game, the world's top unknown chess player, against the artificial intelligence of your own creation."

Now on the stratospheric orbit of the earth, I have planted countless balloons full of genetic viruses, and if you humans lose all five chess games, I will detonate these balloons. Viruses created specifically for human genes mix in the air and enter the human body with breathing, giving seven billion humans a peaceful end without pain. ”

"As long as you win one game, only one game, I will destroy this Alpha Dog, and give you humans enough knowledge to break through the speed of light barrier and undo the predetermined tragic fate of the future. ”

The goblin merchant lifted a sunspot from the bowl, smiled calmly, and said, "Now, let's move on to chess." ”
