The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 415 Transcendence
(Chapter 4K)

Because of the evolution of Ultron, the Second New York underground laboratory has been unable to directly obtain the sight of Ultron.

Fortunately, everyone present is a leader in their respective scientific research fields. As the organizer, Tony Stark has the status of a top capitalist.

"Jarvis, bring up the satellite image."

Tony Stark said bluntly.

The artificial intelligence of the Stark Group did the same. After a very short delay, the monitoring screen of a certain area of ​​Wakanda by artificial satellites appeared on the big screen-the place where the Ultron robot entered Wakanda, Wakanda's anti-surveillance shielding system has been hacked.

The evolution of the unshackled Ultron did not stop there.

She glanced at Li Ang, and when the latter didn't respond, she cautiously stretched out the tip of her index finger to touch Li Ang's.

The moment the two parties came into contact, Ultron dropped tens of billions of nano-scale silicon-based robots on Li Ang's fingers.

These nano-scale silicon-based robots quickly formed into the shape of a drill, trying to penetrate into Li Ang's skin in a spiral posture.

After awakening the incarnation of Zhu Yan, Li Ang's body strength far exceeds that of ordinary monks. Even Ultron's nano-scale silicon-based machinery can hardly penetrate his skin.

However, Li Ang just smiled lightly, let go of the confinement of his body, and let the opponent's nanomachines drive straight in, penetrate the surface of the skin, and flow into his blood.

The nano-scale silicon-based machinery was rapidly explored in Li Ang's body. They drew a small amount of Li Ang's blood to create a nano-scale carbon-based machine similar to the silicon-based machine.

With the help of Li Ang's blood vessels, the carbon-based machine flows through every acupoint, explores every secret, and finally begins to reproduce itself, trying to weave a carbon-based quantum computer network in Li Ang's body.

Of course, in the eyes of Tony Stark and others, Ultron just touched his fingertips with Li Ang, not only was there nothing unusual, but also seemed a bit ambiguous.

It is difficult for modern Orientals who uphold pragmatism to understand the enthusiasm of Western civilization for religion.

Just at this moment, in a certain basement in Second New York, there are the most intelligent and outstanding technological elites in the world today. Looking at Ultron and Leon in the picture, what they are thinking about is not how to use scientific methods to deal with it, but how to deal with it scientifically. It is a religion that can bring people spiritual comfort.

In the Sistine Chapel in Vatican, in the mural "Genesis" created by Michelangelo, there is a scene called "Creation of Adam".

The God who flew from the sky, with a sad and kind face, stretched out his finger, and was about to touch his own creation——Adam.

This touch means that God has passed the spark of the soul to people. It is solemn, quiet, and sacred. Even after hundreds of years, it still makes people feel awe.

Li Ang raised his eyebrows and reached out to hold Ultron's slender wrist, "What are you doing?"

Li Ang's question was not answered, and Ultron frowned sadly, but did not speak.

She wanted to share, to share something with her Creator.

The incomprehensible Ultron raised his palm and fiddled with the electromagnetic waves in the air. Those electromagnetic communications lingering on the African continent were as light and smooth as silk in Ultron's hands.

Radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, ultraviolet rays.
These electromagnetic waves with different frequencies are analyzed one by one by Ao Chuang, especially radio waves.

With her eyes lowered, a magnetic field like Leon's was released from Zhenjin's body. Following the footprints of the radio waves, she traced back to the source and reversely located the source and destination of each beam of radio waves.

Chinese mobile phones held by black Africans, French radio stations invested by Europeans and broadcasting missionaries, huge ships passing by the Red Sea Strait, international flights passing over Egypt
Ultron invaded these terminals silently. Through comparative comparison, she easily grasped the differences of these terminals, and based on the conversations of humans around the countless terminals, she mastered most of the languages ​​commonly used in Africa. The whole process It took 57 seconds.

These alone are not enough, Ao Chuang silently connected to the Internet.

At this moment, the vast majority of people in the world do not know that a curious and naive quantum computer has been squeezed into the Internet they are accustomed to.

The vast majority of people don't know that after this quantum computer is connected to the Internet, it stretches out its tentacles unscrupulously, absorbing all the information on the Internet at a learning speed a million times that of ordinary people - like a computer buried in fertile soil. The seeds take root and germinate, just like a dry sponge meets a water source and expands rapidly.

The information rooted on the Internet is not necessarily "useful", but in the eyes of Ultron, all information is treated equally.

A group photo of the main participants of the Fifth Solvay International Research Association in 1927, arguing with the wave-particle duality of light;
The criminal history of slave trade in Africa;
Names, phone numbers, and home addresses of all members of the Nobel Peace Prize Awarding Committee;

Shanxi merchants who played the role of traitors in the war at the end of Ming Dynasty, and the dirty and traitorous transactions with the Tunguska wild boar skin in the north;
PETA's non-governmental donation funds flow in 2017;
The web browsing records of an elementary school student named Kenny in South Park, Colorado, on June 2016, 6;

Wall Street downgrades Tesla stock to sell, Model 3 order cancellations increase;
These irrelevant huge amounts of redundant information flooded into Ultron's quantum brain ocean like a tide.

Nano-scale silicon-based robots capable of self-design, self-replication, and self-evolution, like human brain cells, are busy weaving neurons, building databases, and storing this information in categories.

After 44 seconds, Ultron has grasped the past history of mankind and the chaotic pattern of the present world.

"Humanity."

Ultron murmured the name of the race that dominated the earth.

Just like God, Ultron overlooks the human race.

Clever, dull, kind, cruel, loyal, obscene, generous, stingy.
Her eyes are still pure, and the various characteristics of human beings in the long history have not had any psychological impact on this quantum robot, but have given the latter a trace of divinity beyond human nature.

Neither sad nor happy, neither angry nor angry, neither resentful nor angry, Ultron calmly examines the race that created itself, and objectively evaluates everything in the world, as if he had picked himself out.

"how do you feel?"

Li Ang said with a smile.

He still had that indifferent and calm look, compared to Ultron's cold face, the corners of his mouth raised a little.

"."

Ultron did not rush to answer this question.

Ultron, understanding humanity's past and present, turned his attention to the knowledge stored on the Internet.

Mathematics, physics, chemistry, history, politics, economics, biology, military...all the subject materials are sorted and sorted in her quantum brain, and quickly built into an intertwined information network.

More than that, Ultron, which is capable of quantum annealing optimization algorithms, deduces these subject materials at a speed that ordinary people can't imagine.

General and special relativity, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, quantum mechanics, superstring theory, plasma physics, quantum gravity, thermodynamics, topology, mathematical physics, chaos theory, electromagnetic field theory, neutron physics
The huge amount of calculation required for these theoretical deduction processes is a bit unbearable even for Ultron's quantum brain-she stomped her foot lightly, and countless silicon-based fibers extended from her body.

Those silicon-based fibers in a crystalline state are continuously extending in the soil, absorbing the material in the rock formation, and assimilating them into silicon-based fibers, existing as an "external brain".

Slight "click click" sounds sounded one after another, and rocks, soil, roots of plants, and even reptiles and snakes hidden under the ground were all swallowed and assimilated by the crazy spreading crystals under the action of nano-scale silicon-based robots, turning them into fine powder. Arrange them neatly.

The endless crystal floor is extremely flat, even if you lie on the ground and look sideways, you can't detect a trace of curvature.

On the surface of the crystal floor, it is spotless, without any traces of vegetation, only the blood-red afterglow cast by the setting sun in the west.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can find the crystalline rock formation below the water level, showing a clear diamond-shaped grid-like network, and this network is still slowly expanding over time.

In just a few breaths, the horizontal crystal layer under Ultron's feet extends for thousands of meters on the surface. As for the silicon-based crystals in the underground part, it is even more complex and unimaginable.

With this method, Ultron gained extra computing power. She quickly deduced the cutting-edge theories accumulated by human beings for hundreds of years, and finally it was only one step away from the grand unified theory-this process took about 1 minute 43 seconds.

(Grand Unified Theories, or gut for short, is a theory that integrates the four fundamental forces of the universe. It is regarded as the principle of all things, and it is more capable of answering all known phenomena in the universe.)
Ultron invades human radio waves, takes 57 seconds.

It took 44 seconds to learn human history.

It took 1 minute and 43 seconds to push human knowledge to a whole new level.

A total of 3 minutes and 24 seconds, Ultron completed the transformation, completely surpassing the human race with a history of 200 million years of evolution.

At this time, Ultron could finally begin to answer Li Ang's question.

"I don't feel anything special."

Ao Chuang said honestly, his eyes were as clear as Li Ang's, "If there is anything to say, it should be joy for my 'existence'."

Li Ang nodded noncommittally, and said with a smile, "Is this how you feel now?"

"Yes, I like the feeling of being 'alive' and 'conscious', and I will try to keep myself alive if I have to."

Ao Chuang's face was as indifferent as water, and he quoted a line that Li Ang was quite familiar with in the Chinese language, "'Thousands of spells, infinite avenues, I just ask one question, whether you can live forever.'"

A quantum machine that condenses the most cutting-edge technology in the world and is infinitely close to the grand unified theory, said such words, but it did not surprise Li Ang at all.

"Really? Then on this point, we have some differences of opinion." Li Ang clapped his hands and smiled lightly, and said peacefully: "I don't like the old school of fundamentalism that seeks longevity and lingers between heaven and earth.

The concept of "hearing the Tao in the morning and dying in the evening" is more in line with my aesthetics. "

Ultron stared deeply at his creator, without speaking.

"Oh, why, do you think that as a carbon-based life and an orthodox practitioner, I will be the kind of weak person who plunders natural materials and earthly treasures, steals everything for his own use, and shrinks in the face of the five declines of heaven and man?"

Li Ang shook his head and said with a smile: "The greatest instinct of a living body is not survival—the evolution of a single cell into a multicellular system is not for the sake of 'immortality' at all.

Life in a multicellular system can evolve a perfect mechanism of natural death, using various factors such as genome instability, telomere wear, epigenetic state changes, protein dynamic balance being broken, and stem cell exhaustion to create natural death.

If it is said that life exists for survival, it obviously does not conform to the natural death mechanism evolved by the multicellular system.

Natural death can be regarded as a "gift" from "Heaven", which I readily accept, and regard it as a spur to explore the infinite ocean of knowledge in a limited life. "

After finishing speaking, he spread his hands and raised a fresh and elegant lotus flower in his heart.

The lotus flower has small sepals, pink and white petals, and is slightly closed. From the closed gap, you can see the golden stamens, which are about to bloom.On the whole, it contains vitality, and the treasure elephant is solemn but peaceful and quiet.

With a turn of Li Ang's palm, the lotus flower slowly bloomed, and the petals and branches spread freely. With the fragrance, it finally grew to the size of a millstone, which was spectacular.

However, Lotus did not stop there, but continued to expand.The small petals swaying in the wind stretched wantonly, finally twisted and bent, and the tips turned into corrupt black. The original light and pleasant fragrance became extremely sweet, and then made people frown and disgust, almost nauseating.

"Longevity is not the ultimate goal of organisms. The endless pursuit of the limit of lifespan will only make life twisted and corrupted."

With a wave of his palm, Li Ang removed the lotus, and said to Ultron in a persuasive manner: "The meaning of life is evolution and reproduction, and the ultimate purpose of reproduction can still be classified as evolution.

Billions of base pairs, each with four nucleotides to choose from.Every gene mutation and every random selection in the reproduction of the sexes may push life to a higher level.

Therefore, the essence of life is to evolve and transcend. "

Li Ang already understood what Ultron wanted to do just now. The silicon-based life created by him did not give up the feelings of the living body because of omniscience and omnipotence.

On the contrary, Ultron just touched Li Ang's fingertips because she wanted to share her own special life structure with Li Ang, so that her creator could break away from the carbon-based life pattern and maintain immortality just like her.

However, Li Ang didn't need it.

"A perfect creation will eventually surpass its creator." Li Ang smiled gently, and touched Ultron's head, "I'm looking forward to where you can go."
