The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 39 Information Exchange (recommendation ticket requested)

If he hadn't used Sophon to take a glance at the entire base, Jiang Yu would have thought that everything that happened in the base was a betrayal of artificial intelligence.

When he chatted with Yang Dong before, he talked about the topic of artificial intelligence replacing humans.

Yang Dong's point of view is: absolutely impossible.

For now, artificial intelligence is still far away from having its own consciousness. Even if it has its own consciousness, humans can easily kill it if they want to clean it up.

The limitations imposed by humans on artificial intelligence are extremely difficult for it to overcome.

It's like drawing a circle on paper. For us, it is a simple circle, but for the two-dimensional creatures living on that paper, it is an obstacle that can never be overcome.

But the cooperation between "Athena" and the I-3 robot was too tacit before, and they were the main force in hunting down Jiang Yu and others, which gave people the illusion that they were doing things.

This is also a logical inference. Apart from them, there is no force in the base that can fully control the base.

But after Jiang Yu used Sophon to see the experimental subjects, his thoughts were different. Those experimental subjects were obviously more evil than expected, and it was more likely that they were using "Athena" to cause trouble.

After "Athena" heard Jiang Yu's words, she paused for more than ten seconds before asking, "How did you find out?"

After waiting for more than ten seconds twice, cold sweat broke out on the back of Jiang Yu's head. He said nonsense, "Because it is impossible for artificial intelligence to ask such boring questions."

"Athena" smiled and said, "You managed to attract my attention, well, you can come and see me."

The I-3 robot behind Jiang Yu said: "Please follow me."

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the robot to the fifth basement floor.

I didn't look carefully just now with Sophon, but Jiang Yu looked at it now and found that the left side of the fifth floor was mostly single rooms next to each other.

The lights in the corridor were dim, and it was only possible to see furniture such as beds and desks in the room, but it seemed that no one lived there.

There are numbers on the doors of the rooms, which are G1, G2 and so on.

The door on the right is a closed iron door, and the numbers on the iron door are C1, C2 and so on.

Jiang Yu guessed that the room starting with the letter "G" should be the area where the experimental subjects of the genetic modification program are housed.

The rooms starting with the letter "C" are the rooms where the experimental subjects or experimental objects of the brain implant technology are placed or have been placed.

The robot stopped in front of room "G16" with Jiang Yu. It opened the door. Jiang Yu saw the cute and mature Asian boy sitting on a chair with his legs crossed and looking at him with a smile. With Jiang Yu.

"Hi, just call me Shiliu." The boy took the initiative, "Please sit down."

The robot handed over a chair, and Jiang Yu sat down according to his words: "My sister's child is about the same age as you. It's hard to imagine that one day, I have to be careful about a child who is six or seven years old."

Sixteen smiled and said, "You are more cautious than most people I have met. At least most people in the base treat me lightly, which made it easy for me to control the entire base."

Jiang Yu breathed out: "What is your final appeal?"

"Is that why you want to see me?" Sixteen asked curiously.

Jiang Yu took out the compressed cigarettes in his pocket: "Do you mind?"

Sixteen made a gesture of invitation, kept staring at Jiang Yu's robot, and handed over a metal ashtray thoughtfully.

Jiang Yu took a deep puff of his cigarette, and felt that his exhausted brain began to work again at high speed: "I thought that you controlled the entire base to escape."

He glanced at Shiliu's packed luggage: "Why are you preparing to leave now? This makes me wonder what your ultimate goal is?"

Shiliu's expression was like a child showing off his most fun toy: "You guessed wrong from the root. I control the base not because I want to escape, but because they block my search."

Jiang Yu was smoking a cigarette and pretending to listen.

Shiliu said with slight excitement in his eyes: "I didn't expect you to be interested. Those damn researchers all took my words as nonsense."

He paused and said solemnly: "I have been looking for the 'information junction' of the universe."

Jiang Yu was taken aback: "Sorry, can you explain in more detail?"

Sixteen leaned forward: "After understanding the universe model based on the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, I think there should be a place where all information gathers in the entire universe.

"As long as you can find that place, you can learn all the information about the entire universe.

"However, this 'intersection' is more likely to be at high latitudes. I imagine that it should be visible to the naked eye in four-dimensional or five-dimensional space, but it only has an appearance in three-dimensional space."

In Jiang Yu's eyes, the child's current appearance was too much like his nephew's appearance when he was showing off his new clothes.

Jiang Yu guessed that although the child's intelligence has reached the adult level, but because he has been locked up in the base for a long time, the information he has been exposed to is too one-sided, and he still retains many of the nature that a child should have.

For Jiang Yu, this is an opportunity to avoid brain implant surgery.

After all, children at this time are very playful. If I play well with him, maybe he will be reluctant to reform himself.

Sixteen continued: "At first, I imagined that the 'interchange' would be in the eleventh dimension?
"However, considering that the superposition of information in the eleventh dimension is too serious, it will hide the source of the information, as well as the ins and outs. It is likely that like our three-dimensional, we can only see some appearances.

"Of course, it is impossible to use the concept of 'seeing' to observe the eleventh dimension, because the huge amount of information in that dimension will never be seen with vision.

"Even if it can be seen, the naked eye will automatically ignore 90.00% of the information, which should be similar to what we see in the three-dimensional state.

"If not automatically ignored, just looking at that information could be enough for our brains to analyze for years.

Sixteen smiled and said, "I'm just a metaphor. What's more likely to happen is that the huge amount of information will cause the brain to 'crash', that is, to pass out."

Jiang Yu wanted to take another puff of cigarette, but found that he listened too seriously and the cigarette had already gone out.

He pressed the butt of his cigarette into the ashtray: "What's in that 'Information Junction'?"

"The 'operating console' with fate and time!" Sixteen showed a cute smile: "All the talk about controlling time and fate is self-deception.

"The so-called control means that it will do what you want time and fate to do. It serves you completely, and this is called control!

"Not some nonsense like 'time management', 'fate changed due to my own efforts'!

"I think that only by solving the problems of time and fate can the veil of the universe be unveiled!"

Jiang Yu thought for more than ten seconds before saying, "Why do you think there is such a place in the universe?"
