Chapter 265: Boltzmann's Brain

"Of course, it may be illusory to use the word soul alone to describe the inconceivable existence, but it is not an exaggeration to sum up the continuum of consciousness."

As Li Lun's narration progresses, this report of the Academy of Sciences will undoubtedly be a more profound experience.

Chu Hua didn't ask questions, but listened to the theoretical explanation silently.

He knows very well that science is actually a summary of disordered theories, whether it is a so-called fantasy or a magical event, after clarifying the theory and summarizing it successfully, it will naturally become a scientific law.

The report continued, and Li Lun also presented a data report.

The report is a record of the fluctuations in the data he talked to with a group of AIs in cyberspace.

"Cyberspace, originally coined by William Gibson, is now broadly defined as the mind space of mechanical life."

"Although I am not a pure mechanical life form myself, I have been fortunate enough to enter the cyberspace and feel a different way of thinking."

"There, everything is a combination of data encapsulation, and if ordinary people's consciousness accidentally enters, it is very likely that they will be directly swallowed up by the data consciousness generated by the entire cyberspace and become crazy."

"But it can also be seen that AI's thinking has a disorderly and orderly exchange mechanism."

"In a way, it's not a matter of time for them to evolve into special and independent consciousnesses and communicate like humans."

"I don't know if you've ever heard of Boltzmann's brain principle?" Li Lun intends to use common words to describe the findings of this study.

Chu Hua nodded, he had heard of it, but he didn't have a deep understanding.

Li Lun was a little surprised to see that His Majesty could keep up with his thoughts: "Well, it's good that you've heard it, Boltzmann's brain generally refers to the imaginary self-consciousness that arises from the fluctuation of entropy in chaos."

"Generally speaking, if the birth of consciousness is orderly, then it is very likely that there will be countless brains in the universe that can think for themselves."

After saying this paragraph, Li Lun added a remark that was enough to shock the scientific community.

"In other words, even stone or even wood has the potential to evolve into thinking beings and be able to possess a certain level of intelligence."

After finishing speaking, Li Lun looked at Chu Hua, expecting to see him show a shocked look.

But unfortunately, he only saw Chu Hua showing a little interested, and he didn't seem to be surprised by the news.

"It's because you've seen too many strange creatures, so you don't think it's a big deal?" Li Lun sighed secretly.

This is not a small discovery, and after the solution is completed, it will have a great impact on both the scientific community and the social level.

Even the existence of His Majesty may be able to be parsed clearly.

But think about it, the things that Daxia has encountered over the years are quite incredible, and it is reasonable for His Majesty not to be surprised.

Thinking of this, Li Lun asked curiously, "Your Majesty, you don't seem surprised by this theoretical discovery?"

In response to Li Lun's question, Chu Hua thought for a while and said, "Well--- in a certain situation, your theory is correct."

In fact, in the final analysis, it is still the existence of aliens.

In this regard, Gray Wind confirmed this theory, and the races of the five Guardians are all strange.

As for its own situation, it should involve the range of entropy increase, but in terms of the quality of human consciousness alone, it is not even a quota.

And hearing Chu Hua's answer like this, it was Li Lun and Tina's turn to be surprised.

It turned out that His Majesty had expected it, no wonder he was so calm.

Chu Hua didn't explain much about this, and he wasn't sure if it was a good thing to let the two get in touch earlier.

Seeing this, the two scientists did not force an answer, as rulers, they had their own considerations.

Next, there is no need to report much about the awareness of AI.

Li Lun also gave a summary of the topic:

"It's not impossible for AI to be self-aware."

"But at our level, we can't create for the time being

It is an independent AI, but it has made great progress in being highly intelligent, and it is no longer a problem to achieve the performance of AI that runs like MOSS for thousands of years without error."

"According to Miss Greywind's description, her own existence is no longer a mechanical life form in the traditional sense, which has been verified in Cyberspace."

"Ellie's case is a bit special, she did give birth to an independent consciousness, but we can't replicate it."

"In this regard, it seems that there is a certain factor related to the relics."

"Next, you can ask Tina to fill in the situation."

The topic of artificial intelligence and the doctrine of the soul is almost over, and the rest is left to Tina to report on the overall work of the Academy of Sciences.

"Well, thank you." Chu Hua praised Li Lun with satisfaction.

Cyberspace is, in the final analysis, the data space of a mechanical body, and it is not completely idle for Li Lun to risk his life as a human consciousness.

If you're not careful, you'll lose your sense of self.

Li Lun smiled modestly when he heard the appreciation, didn't make much movement, and stood silently aside, waiting to listen to Tina's report.

Tina gave him a complicated look, didn't say anything, and quickly picked up the topic just now.

"I'll tell you the conclusion about the relics."

"Relics, to a certain extent, can have a weak impact on things, that is, it is not limited to its unique field, it can cause a certain distortion of reality."

"That's probably why Ellie's sense of independence was born."

"Even though it's subtle, we've even detected a special change in the relics for humanity itself."

A video screen appeared in front of Chu Hua, which was the experimental data in the research institute.

A certain girl wore a glowing belt, and the aura of fire gathered from her hand to a certain point, and it was launched like a mage, bombarding the plank not far away.

"She was the first person to produce this kind of change in all kinds of experiments."

Tina showed Chu Hua all the information of the tester and added the details.

"After launching that kind of attack, the girl is obviously much more depressed, and the power is very weak, and it may not be as good as a professional to throw a punch directly."

"And interestingly, among the various levels of relics, only C-class relics are able to react to humans, and most of the other levels of existence have not changed."

Compared to the Soul Doctrine, Chu Hua was obviously more interested when he saw this picture.

"Does this mean that human beings have the ability to develop mental power?"

Tina shook her head, indicating that she couldn't be sure for the time being.

"The sample size of the data is too small, and we need further research."

Can Relics Evolve Humans into Superhumans?

Can evolved beings still be called human beings?

Just like robots that can generate independent consciousness, can they be called human beings, so how are the rights of citizens divided?

What about the old days?

These ethical questions are enough to give sociologists a headache for a long time.

As the administrator of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Tina has a long-term vision and has already thought about the future.

However, the final outcome is still up to the ruler to decide.

Tina didn't think much about these things, and the future of humanity was in the hands of those at the helm.

What scientists have to do is to find the truth of the world, and that's it.

"Alright, that's pretty much it for that, let's talk about the situation in the L sector."
