From black technology to super engineering

Provincial Jiaotong University, Quantum Intelligence Professional Lecture Room.

At 1:40 p.m., the classroom is full of seats. If you carefully identify, in addition to the students of this major, there are also students from other majors and even other schools who came to take classes.

The class bell has not yet rang, but everyone still maintains a good discipline, there is no loud noise, just talking in a low voice, and almost everyone is looking at the door expectantly.

"Would you like to ask Teacher Ita later?"

"Ask, of course."

"Then who will speak?"

"Whoever raises his hand speaks."

"What if she pretends not to see?"

"How is it possible? Teacher Yi has always been easy to talk to, okay?"

In the midst of everyone's whispers, Ita stepped on the class bell and appeared at the door—her steps were so precise that one even wondered if she had controlled the class bell as soon as she walked in.

As the only general subject lecturer at the provincial post office, Ita has always maintained a simple "robot" image - you must know that the latest bionic materials can already make the robot housekeeper have a fake skin and appearance.

But Teacher Yita has never done those "messy" things. She has always been doing her own way, and she looks like a robot at first glance. It is so good that it can even completely imitate human beings.

It's just that today's Mr. Ita is very elegant at first glance, especially when walking, his posture has completely lost the sense of sluggishness in the past, and it is more like a human woman wearing a metal coat walking.

Ita walked to the podium unhurriedly, and her face monitor simulated two smiling crescent moons: "What are you talking about?"

A sycophant in the front row immediately responded, "Teacher Yi is very beautiful today!"

"It's a lie, I just changed my joints during the National Day holiday." Ita raised his wrist, made a flexing movement, and giggled: "Using the latest bionic muscle technology of the Canglan Star, in the future I can wrestle with you."

There were bursts of laughter immediately in the classroom. When we were joking with Mr. Ita before, everyone always wanted to wrestle with her. Refused.

"Okay, get ready for class."

At this time, a boy under the stage suddenly raised his hand.

"Qi Mingyu, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Ita, can I ask a question?"

"you say."

"We want to ask..." The boy named Qi Mingyu swallowed, and then he mustered up the courage to say: "We all know that you are a member of the human diplomatic mission, so in your opinion, standing in Are you on the podium the same as you on Xunxing at this time? If not, what is the difference?"

Following the boy's question, the entire classroom fell silent for an instant, and everyone looked at Ita in unison, expecting her answer.

——The reason is very simple. In the eyes of these students who have been with Ita day and night, Mr. Ita has completely broken away from the category of "low-level" artificial intelligence, thus reflecting the form of digital life and a complete personality.

The reason is simple, and the duck theory can describe it.

All of Ita's behaviors, including logic, reaction, and emotional judgment, are exactly the same as human beings, so she must have human personality!

As students majoring in quantum intelligence, of course, they will have a deeper level of thinking.

Everyone knows that when Academician Ye Ming created Mr. Ita, he designed a separate computing core in Mr. Ita's machine body.

Then, when Mr. Ita transformed into a "clone", will she still "copy" her current personality?

...

Brain-Computer Center, Ye Ming's office.

"This year's students are really difficult to lead."

Ita's voice sounded in Ye Ming's mind, and at the same time, the virtual image of a cartoon girl teacher in a small black suit also jumped out on the monitor.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ming looked at the monitor and asked in his mind.

"They wanted to ask me if I had a split personality."

Ye Ming was slightly taken aback, and then became curious: "How to say?"

So Ita repeated the student's question.

Ye Ming smiled, but then fell silent.

Over the years, even those students have "knowed" that she can actually be regarded as a "digital life"-you see, the students have already used "personality" to describe it-then Yita himself obviously knows too .

However, due to some kind of taboo, neither Ita nor Ye Ming has ever admitted that Ita is a digital life on a formal occasion.

To this day, the public caliber is that Ita is Ye Ming's scientific assistant, but the one that is well adjusted.

A few seconds later, Ye Ming said softly: "Do you want to admit it?"

"It's okay to admit it, or not to admit it."

"What kind of answer is that?"

"Anyway, I just can't make up my mind—what's your opinion?"

"I respect your opinion." Ye Ming picked up the mouse and gently pointed at the cartoon villain on the desktop, which rarely jumped away.

"I'll have to think about it."

"..."

"I'm really not sure about it—you don't think I should have a human appearance, and then enjoy pretending to be a human?"

"...Of course not."

"Then I think it's fine now." She said with a rare sigh: "This feeling of not being able to pay attention is an annoyance, right?"

"Yes."

"There are so many troubles for human beings..."

"……Yes."

"Oh, there's a meeting on the spaceship, I have to go over for a while—do you want to sit in?"

"Just listen to it, I want to see the meeting report."

"Then I'm leaving!" After she finished speaking, her cartoon image disappeared without a trace.

Ye Ming exhaled lightly, then closed his eyes.

In order to reflect the advanced nature of human technology, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, when sending a human mission to the past this time, it was specially decided that in addition to Aita, Ye Ming should also "re-enact" Ita's past.

Ye Ming doesn't know if the above has any special ideas and attempts for Ita, but on the whole, this reflects that in the above understanding, Ita is more "intelligent" and more "human-like" than Aita. intelligent.

It's just... In this way, Ita will be known to the public even more.

Opening his eyes, Ye Ming sighed again, then shook his head, put aside his troubles, and focused on an experimental design of Aita Academic.

This is a new idea proposed by Zhou Xiangnan and others in Canglanxing after observing and understanding the two-dimensional cold fusion experiment a month ago.

In the design, Zhou Xiangnan thinks that it is possible to try to design and expand the four-dimensional space membrane generator in two-dimensional space, so that the excess heat can be directly dissipated to the four-dimensional space.

If the experiment is successful, it will not only solve the problem of entropy increase in the limited two-dimensional space, but also find a way to open the five-dimensional space for human beings.

Frankly speaking, this idea coincides with Ye Ming's.

After carefully reviewing the design, Ye Ming made some modifications, and then called Zhou Xiangnan, who immediately sent a voice.

"Mr. Ye, how are you doing?"

"I made a slight modification to the design, which is theoretically feasible, but in reality... this kind of experiment that spans two dimensions, none of us have any ideas."

"So let's do it first!" Zhou Xiangnan became excited when he heard Ye Ming say that it is theoretically feasible, and even modified his own design: "I will do it when I come back!"

"Well, if you come back, it will take about four months." Ye Ming looked at the calendar: "If everything goes well, the accelerator on the moon will just be completed by then."

"Hey, just wait for it to finish! You don't know, we are here... life is so miserable..."

Ye Ming listened to Zhou Xiangnan's complaints, and suddenly became happy: "Huh? Didn't you all pat your chest and say you would stay? Are you complaining now?"

"One moment and another moment!" Zhou Xiangnan said with a chuckle, "Actually, we're alright, we still have work to do, and we can analyze things that the Canglan Star people don't want to reveal. But Li Zongqun's team...you know, There is really no work to do, and their life is called suffering, so much so that a group of archaeologists want to change their majors."

Hearing this, Ye Ming couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Zongqun is an archaeological professional brought over by this side of the earth - and there are quite a lot of people in this team.

At that time, humans had just discovered Canglan Planet, and there was nothing but an abandoned space city and dungeon, so the archaeological excavation profession was particularly important.

But with the contact with the Canglan Star... Li Zongqun and his mission became...

Let's put it this way, Li Zongqun's biggest task is to decipher the script of the Canglan Star.

You said, what texts are they deciphering now?

With the exchanges with the Saint Star people, the relationship between the two sides has become more and more intimate. If you want to know something, just ask directly... There is no room for archeology to play.

So much so that Li Zongqun and the others wanted to dig out the city where the Canglan Stars were buried under the ice sheet—but what's the use of humans digging that thing? Besides, if you really want to dig, you have to be digging by the Canglan Star...

Fortunately, a new batch of scientific researchers is also ready to go, and they will be in rotation soon. They, the first batch of heroes who have stepped out of the solar system, should also go home.

"Okay, okay, wait for you to come back - when are you going to the ground?"

"I'm going to go down to the ground in two days, and then pick up the brothers and sisters who are leaving—are you sure Mo Gu is staying?"

Ye Ming was silent for two seconds and then sighed: "No way, she wants to stay, so let her go."

"Hey... let's not talk, I will help my son with his homework first, these two boys are getting more and more outrageous now, even dare not listen to Teacher Aita's words."

"...let my sister-in-law beat me up!"

"She said she couldn't bear it."

"A loving mother is such a loser..."

Ye Ming hung up the communication with a smile, then grabbed the virtual glasses and connected to the lunar construction base.

Now, just wait for the Lunar Superaccelerator.

...

With the autumn wind getting colder, October passed in a blink of an eye.

Humanity's new scientific expedition team to the blue star also set sail again.

Compared with the pioneers for the first time, the personnel ratio of the scientific expedition team this time is much looser, at least there is no need to bring professional archaeologists. In addition, since the ground personnel have established a complete base, there is no need for too many construction personnel, especially construction machinery, let alone so much.

Moreover, the main direction of this scientific expedition is space and astronomy—the focus is on the detection and observation of the Andromeda galaxy itself, especially paying attention to whether there are signals from other civilizations.

So far, a very strange phenomenon is that no matter whether it is human beings or Canglan people, no traces of other civilizations have been found in this galaxy during their short period of technological explosion.

For example, in the Milky Way, there seems to be only human civilization at present. In the Andromeda Galaxy, there is only Canglan Planet, a civilization. In the Triangulum galaxy, there are only visible stars.

This kind of sign of being "arranged" seems weird no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, looking for traces of other civilizations in the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy is one of the important tasks in the field of astronomy at present.

At the same time, the Asking Star located on Canglan Star also set off to return. Just a few days after passing through the wormhole, they "encountered" the fleet heading for the Triangulum galaxy.

Although it is said that they met, in fact, the two sides were separated by the distance between the earth and the moon at the closest time, but this did not affect the two sides to take pictures of each other as souvenirs, and synthesized a photo that interlaced with each other.

The photo, of course, caused a stir on social media.

In mid-November, the fleet of the diplomatic mission passed through the wormhole and entered the blue star system.

The moment they stepped into the galaxy, they received greetings from Mo Gu and others who were staying at the ground base of Canglan Star, and then, the mission spacecraft headed towards the wormhole of the Triangulum galaxy without stopping.

...

Brain-Computer Center, Ye Ming's office.

Uda's voice sounded in the office.

"How many days will it take for your people to reach the star?"

"It has already started to slow down, there are still two days left."

Ye Ming looked at Wuda's virtual projection, lying on the chair relaxedly, with his hands behind his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Why do you care about this?"

Wu Da sat on the chair very upright. Although he has a good relationship with Ye Ming, after all, the two parties have different identities and dare not be as casual as Ye Ming, but there is also a faint smile on his face: "Just asking .”

"Don't worry, we are trading partners with them and partners with you." Ye Ming chuckled: "We have no technical exchanges with them."

"That's because they don't have the technology to communicate." Uda showed a faint confidence on his face: "Their technology direction is similar to yours, but far behind yours."

"That can't be said like that...their particle cannon is very powerful." Ye Ming said with emotion: "I really want to see what it looks like to fire a cannon."

"No, it can't resist the executor."

"What I'm saying is, I want to see the power." Ye Ming couldn't laugh or cry, the guy opposite was sometimes very rigid and couldn't keep up with his thinking.

"Well... No matter how powerful it is, it can't stop the executor."

Ye Ming: "..."

Seeing Ye Ming's speechless face, Wu Da smiled and asked suddenly: "Master Dali, are you going to use artificial singularities to deal with the executors?"

Ye Ming was slightly taken aback.

"All I can think of is that you can create a huge man-made singularity at the exit of the star gate." Wu Da looked at Ye Ming, and his expression gradually became serious: "If it succeeds, then you...maybe really can Block the executor."
