Chapter 20: Dreams
Lu Yu looked at the brain in a jar described in science fiction works through virtual reality, and was terrified for a while.
Speculation about the perception of the world has always been a hot topic in the field of philosophy, and the idea of a brain in a vat has even extended to many well-known science fiction movies.
Although the role of the Dyson sphere has always been doubted, there is no doubt that this civilization can successfully build this super project, and its level of civilization is beyond doubt.
If an unmanned spacecraft reaches the orbit of the Blue Star, I'm afraid it will be able to exterminate the human race immediately, right?
In the end, only one brain remains.
The experts at Base Zero subconsciously thought that this was a process that must be experienced before consciousness was uploaded, but was it too economical for the entire civilization to use one brain?
The question of carbon-based organisms does not affect the course of electronic warfare in any way.
How could a high-level artificial intelligence that had lost most of its computing power be the opponent of Seven, but this time it did not delete the library and run away, but stayed here.
Behind it is the meaning of existence, and there is no way back.
"Intruder..... Destroy! ”
"Protect the owner's ....."
This artificial intelligence is already powerful enough, but it has encountered the stronger Seven, and the Zhizi computer, which is one level higher than civilization.
Once suppressed the entire race with advanced technology, now it is suppressed by higher technology.
"I've suppressed its computing power, and now I can take full control of it by hacking into its database!"
On electronic warfare, you can always trust the Seven.
The suppressed artificial intelligence, the number seven who was bent on hacking into the database, and the humans with limited observation conditions did not notice a subtle abnormal discharge of the brain in the culture medium!
..........
"The Dyson sphere is just the first step!"
"In the next step, we will gradually start collecting material from the outer star system, and at the same time start to control the speed of the stellar fusion reaction, regularly clean up the accumulated material in the inner core of the star, and prolong the life of the star."
"All this is to keep civilization alive in the age of cosmic heat death, I reckoned ......."
Jia Yi is giving students a theoretical instruction class on Dyson balls, and now is the time for him to become famous!
Dyson Sphere was completed under his auspices, and he was the undisputed authority in the scientific community of civilization, and the government agencies complied with his requirements, and even any fanciful ideas, as long as he was willing to set up a project, countless funds would be in place immediately.
It was as if the whole civilization was spoiling him, and all the grievances he suffered in his early years for advocating the construction of the Dyson sphere were all compensated.
In order to build the Dyson sphere, his governing body even replaced the role of the government for a time, but even so, after the completion of this mega project, Jiayi returned to the scientific research institute to bring the students and continue to move forward on the road of seeking truth.
After all, there have been no scientific research achievements in the same clan for nearly 10,000 years, and Dyson Ball almost relied on him to overcome all the technical difficulties, and finally completed this super project after a long time with cryodormancy technology.
Although he was vaguely aware that something was wrong, the fact that everyone in the civilization could not keep up with his pace was almost throughout his life, so Jia Yi tried to train students by himself while doing the scientific research he liked.
"They learn theory and practice quickly, but it is extremely difficult to innovate, what is the reason?"
Jiayi, who is a teacher, has brought students one after another, but he can no longer find anyone who can break through his theory.
It seems that the technology of the entire civilization is really driven by him alone, and such questions slowly spread in his heart.
However, on the day when the truth suddenly came, no one even appeared in front of him and asked him to choose between a blue pill and a red pill.
The students in the classroom turned into strings of green codes before their eyes, and the whole world became hollow, and matter was collapsing without warning.
Reality collapsed directly in front of his eyes, and he [woke up] from his sweet dream and saw the nightmarish reality.
Where are the students? Where is there any civilization that thrives in the Dyson sphere?
If you climb to the pinnacle of life, you suddenly find that it is a sweet dream, and you are just a person who looks up to a ray of light in the mud.
Will the deep despair caused by the huge difference between high and low completely break the defense line of the heart?
Ayi, who no longer has a visual organ, should not be able to see the outside world, or even perceive the situation where he only has one brain left.
But perhaps it was the brain in the vat that was tens of thousands of years old, and the residual biological properties actually allowed him to evolve to convert neural signals into signals on his own.
Moreover, he has to be a genius who can gain control of an external machine between intelligent life forms and advanced artificial intelligence.
If such an anomalous thing could really happen, how could he still be controlled by artificial intelligence for tens of thousands of years?
But it's happening!
And this anomaly is still spreading, even if the consciousness of the brain in the jar awakens?
Whether it's Seven, or the artificial intelligence, as long as they use a little computing power, they can suppress his consciousness back!
As for what reality...... What is the truth...... There are a lot of technologies to deal with situations like this, and for the brain in the tank, everything can be input and operated.
This kind of small accident, the problem should not be big, the short-lived miracle will soon disappear, and the reality that you suddenly wake up to see will become a dream.
But as if they had been hit by some bug, Seven and the AI didn't do anything, watching all this happen.
That's not right!
Something is very wrong!
Lu Yu, who witnessed the whole process through virtual reality, felt that the scene was incompatible with reasonable reality.
Seven may not understand what the brain in the nutrient solution means, but will Artificial Intelligence A and Er not understand?
If Jiayi's consciousness is exposed to reality for a long time, what irreversible consequences will it cause if there is a huge gap between it and the beautiful dream?
In front of him, Jia Yi gradually understood everything.
own vision...... It is the source of the destruction of an entire civilization. That's the civilization I love, the people I love.
However, his lifelong pursuit was realized by the second Jiaer created by himself, which is not illusory, but a real Dyson sphere!
A super project built for the sake of civilization has become a tomb that integrates the blood and bones of the entire civilization?
In a strange way, Koichi continued to take control of the mechanical tentacles surrounding the culture medium, and said in his own language:
"Thank you."
Definitely not to Lu Yu and Seven.
Although Koji destroyed the entire race, it helped him realize his dream, albeit so distorted, despite the great cost.
The mechanical tentacles pulled a spherical ball of light from the base of the medium and wrapped it around it.
That's the core of the second one, and I hugged it like this when I built it with my own hands.
It's not about destroying it, it's a real hug of gratitude.
After this hug......... Jiayi calmly chose death.
In the culture medium, the brain, like a mountain, is crumbling.
After all, he did not carry the reality of a shattered civilization and the race became the cornerstone of his dreams, and he fought against this fate with death, just as he refused to extend his life because of the Dyson sphere a long, long time ago.
A is dead.
Or that he is long dead, and that he is only a remnant soul trapped in a beautiful dream, and now he is buried with tens of billions of his compatriots in the Dyson sphere that he once persistently pursued.
This deformed dream, wrapped in a mega-project of 10,000 megatons, turned out to be the hardest shell to wrap the most fragile and soft foam.
So much so that Lu Yu seemed to touch it lightly, and this Dyson ball civilization was so destroyed at present.
I thought I would be a friendly visitor, or a witness to the space war, but I didn't expect to end up being a dreamer.
