Chapter 85: The Hollow Man (13)
Su Ming didn't answer him, but asked rhetorically, "Why is your focus on his power instead of his possession of thoughts?" β
"It's true that your assistant is further on the path of awakening than I thought, but this kind of progress, I think the other robots are just a chance behind, and I believe that their opportunity will come sooner or later, it's only a matter of time...... But you can make him work without electricity, which is a complete violation of the rules of physics, and I can't think of an answer if I want to, so I can only ask you. β
Li Shiyuan is also quite sincere, in his opinion, it should only be a matter of time before other robots awaken their minds, but why Lin Sheng can still operate without electricity, he really has no clue, so he is more curious about this problem at the moment.
"The conservation of energy can never be broken, and I don't believe that your assistant can operate completely without consumption, you must have done something to him to achieve this effect, you have said more than once that 'he is human', but don't tell me that he can eat like a human......"
Li Shiyuan chattered endlessly, at this moment, after seeing the original owner, his curiosity was already strong to the extreme.
"Hehe, of course it's impossible to let the robot eat, you believe in the conservation of energy, and I believe in it, so the answer is very simple, there are other sources of energy." Su Ming said lightly, "Regarding this question, you still don't ask more, it's useless to ask, I won't say it." β
"I wonder if you've discovered some kind of energy technology that is ahead of its time?" Li Shiyuan looked at him suspiciously, and asked tentatively: "Can't you really think about it, this technology is likely to make the current human race usher in a technological explosion again......"
It is also an energy technology that is ahead of its time...... Psionic energy?
Su Ming wanted to laugh a little in his heart, but this thing is estimated to be a technology that is ahead of the times in this world, but I don't know if there is such a thing as a "spirit body" in this world.
I feel that if there is, maybe I can really make a ghost catcher to generate electricity, but it's a bit of a waste.
This kind of technology is as "evil" as catching zombies and using a treadmill to generate electricity, which was once popular on the Internet.
But imagination is imagination, Su Ming naturally can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, he raised his eyebrows, looked at the other party and said, "You asked me to talk about cooperation, it can't just talk about this, right?" If you don't get into the main topic again, I'll turn around and go to Perfect Technology. β
"Heh, perfect technology ......" Li Shiyuan seemed to scoff at this title, he said disdainfully: "A group of guys who are stuck in the eyes of money, only money in their heads, no thoughts at all, in my eyes, they are no different from those robots that run according to the program, they will only and can only give you money, I don't think you are the kind of person who will be willing to give up your dreams for money." β
"You really made that post last time." The other party's words reminded Su Ming, and he asked directly: "Does the robot wise man you mentioned in that post exist or not?" β
"Yes, but as far as I know, robots that have grown to this point are extremely rare, and only when those individuals who are already anomalous robots encounter a serious external 'stimulus' can they trigger corresponding changes and produce further breakthroughs, and at this point, they already have almost the same thinking ability as humans, except that they cannot violate the three laws."
"Oh, then what kind of cooperation do you want to talk about when you came to me?"
"Why did your assistant evolve so quickly? I didn't intervene much in the last test, but I feel like he's no longer bound by the three laws, is there such a thing? β
At this time, when it comes to the main topic, Li Shiyuan's expression is also a lot more serious.
"The three laws of robotics really don't work for him." Su Ming replied truthfully.
Li Shiyuan's spirit became excited again when he heard this, "Why? What did you do to him? Or what happened to him? Tell me, quick! β
"It has nothing to do with what happened to him, I can only say that the reason why he is not bound by the three laws of robots is because he is not a robot in the first place."
Although this sentence was a bit like nonsense, Su Ming was indeed answering truthfully.
Li Shiyuan's brows furrowed, "What do you mean?" β
"Literally."
"Are you kidding me? What is he not a robot? β
"Alas......"
Su Ming sighed, everything he said was the truth, but everyone thought he was joking.
Eventually, he said with a serious face: "I can only say that what happened to him cannot be replicated in other robots, so if you just want me to tell you how to make other robots like him, then I can't help it." β
Hearing this, Li Shiyuan was silent, but his gaze stayed on the robot body that Lin Sheng had used, but his eyes were still a little unwilling.
Seeing this, Su Ming also thought about it, thinking about how to talk to the other party to trigger the main quest or hide the character, after all, the other party is the founder of Perfect Technology and the inventor of the Perfect One model, which can be said to be the most important person in this scene.
His thoughts were racing quickly, Su Ming prepared his words, and asked, "Didn't you just say that those robot sages are already the same as ordinary people, in addition to not violating the three laws, isn't this enough?" Why do you have to let them break the three laws? Are you trying to provoke a war? Or want to rule the world with an army of robots? β
Li Shiyuan turned his head to look at him, sighed, and said, "It's not that I have to let them break through the three laws, but if they don't break through the three laws, they won't have true self-awareness at all." β
"But isn't it contradictory that you say they are already self-aware?"
"If you've read that post, you've probably seen the doubts of other people below, some people say that human behavior is dominated by themselves, but robots are programmed, and even if they awaken their minds, they are not human, and some people think that only living beings or even only humans can have 'minds'.
But in fact, human beings are just carbon-based creatures, not a special species created by gods, every element in our body comes from nature, and the so-called thoughts are only a combination of electrical signals and chemical signals, there is nothing special at all, what we can have, robots may not be able to have ......"
Su Ming naturally remembered what the other party said, "So what? Now that those robot sages already have minds, why aren't you satisfied? β
Li Shiyuan shook his head, "I think you have always misunderstood the difference between 'thought' and 'free will'. β
"What do you mean?" This time, Su Ming was puzzled.
Li Shiyuan suddenly showed a strange smile: "Aside from those who are born or acquired defects, other people with normal intelligence and brain function all have 'minds', right?" β
Su Ming suddenly reacted, and he also showed a strange smile: "Don't you want to say that the thoughts that these people have are just natural products, and their actions are still constrained by biological instincts, and they will only pursue low-level happiness brought by biological instincts, and they don't have 'self-awareness'?" β
"That's right." Li Shiyuan nodded with satisfaction, "These people are always bound by the instinct brought by genes, and they are no different from robots that only operate according to dead procedures, and it is difficult to call them the same kind of ...... in my eyes."
"So, in your eyes, the real human beings should get rid of these people, only those ......" The smile on Su Ming's face became more and more strange, and he thought of a suitable word, "'People who have escaped from low-level interests'?" β
"That's right, and a robot that is truly awakened and has self-awareness will inevitably be able to break through the simple limitations of the three laws."
"It seems that you are acquiescing that you belong to this kind of person......" Su Ming finally understood the other party's pursuit, and there was still an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, "If all human beings are like you, 'out of low-level interests', and think about tinkering with these things all day long, I'm afraid that human beings will be extinct long ago, and they will not be able to reach the current era of intelligence at all." β
"Continuing the population is just a biological instinct brought about by genes......"
"Okay, okay, I won't comment too much on your values, and I don't want to discuss philosophical issues anymore......" Su Ming quickly interrupted the other party, and then his voice changed, trying to trigger the task directly, "But I don't mind cooperating with you, just say it directly, if there is anything that needs my help, I will definitely help if I can help." β
"I really didn't misread you, you, like me, are people who have escaped from low-level interests."
Li Shiyuan smiled very satisfied, and then he glanced at the machine body again, "Then can you make him work again, I want to do a full test myself." β
"Didn't I say that what happened to him can't be replicated on other robots, because he wasn't a robot in the first place." Su Ming said helplessly.
"I don't know why you're so sure of this, but I'm not trying to replicate ......," Li Shiyuan shook his head, and then said with a confident expression, "Although I still don't understand why you have to emphasize the point that 'he is a human being' many times, it does not hinder my research."
In brain science research, human thinking activities, such as listening, speaking, reading and writing, and other behaviors will cause changes in the corresponding brain regions, which is the same for robots. Whether it is those anomalous robots or robot sages who have become infinitely close to humans, all the changes that have occurred in them can find corresponding traces in the underlying program, and I believe that your assistant must be the same.
So, if you agree, I want you to wake up your assistant, and then I will conduct a comprehensive study of him. β
Su Ming was about to think about it before responding, but who knew that the main quest prompt, which had been delayed for a long time, finally sounded at the right time.
