Start trading space battleship

In front of him, there is a white spherical space, not too small in size, almost the size of a medium-sized warehouse, and there is nothing in it except for the neat and clean curved walls emitting this soft light.

At this moment, a voice message was suddenly sent to Shen Shi through the personal terminal.

"Welcome back, Captain, I am your battleship assistant, the central AI of the 'Vogt'." The voice was a soft female voice, "Because it is your first time boarding the ship, do you need to activate the ghost to explain it to you? ?”

"Ghost?" Shen Shi was taken aback.

In such a place full of sense of technology, the word ghost suddenly appeared, which is really weird.

"Sorry, I couldn't find a more appropriate adjective from your common language."

"Uh......"

Well, Shen Shi knew that this was still the fault of the times.

It’s like some specific vocabulary in modern times. If you talk about it in ancient times, it will definitely make people look confused. You don’t know why, and then you can only use some words like ghosts, gods, etc. to understand.

However, he still maintained a strong curiosity.

"Start it."

"Please confirm my image."

A picture appeared in Shen Shi's mind, which was the image he subconsciously imagined.

——Ai Xiner.

Damn, Ai Damei has a strong sense of presence in this regard.

With a thought, he directly erased this image. After all, this kind of AI-like image with the appearance of an acquaintance is really weird. He thought about it, a person with short silver-white hair, a gentle face, a strong body, wearing dark clothes The tuxedo butler's uniform, paired with a snow-white shirt and gloves, the image of an elegant, rigorous and capable old butler came to mind.

I don't know how to do it. He obviously didn't have a detailed idea of ​​the details, but the details displayed are exactly what he wants.

Those who are satisfied cannot be more satisfied.

"Confirm." Shen Shi thought for a while, then said again, "Name it Sebas."

This is the name of a character in an anime, which is very similar to this image, so Shen Shi didn't think too much about it, and used it directly.

In the next moment, the old butler with one hand behind his back and the other on his chest appeared in front of him.

"Sebas has seen my lord."

Bow slightly, from demeanor to action, lifelike.

Shen Shi was taken aback.

etc--

"It's a three-dimensional projection, it really looks like it." Shen Shi seemed to have come to his senses, and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to shake it.

But in the hand, there is an incomparably real touch!

Chapter 20 : Conscious Information Technology

At this moment, Shen Shi even had a creepy feeling, goosebumps popped up one by one on his body.

Because he can't understand it at all!

In such a short time?Create a person?Or did it appear in an instant?

And this icy touch...

The word "ghost" came up all of a sudden, and in this instant, he even felt that his world view was crumbling!

"My lord, your heartbeat is speeding up, your emotions are agitated, and your consciousness is unstable. Do you need help?" Sebastian's expression was slightly worried.

"...No." Shen Shi took a breath and shook his head.

He was just a little frightened by the appearance of the "ghost".

This is an instinct based on past cognition.

If something with obvious technological style appears, even if you can't understand it, you won't feel that way.

But now, he just wants to say - this is not scientific!Not to mention the future!

"What's going on?" After calming down a little, Shen Shi asked impatiently, "Ghosts, do they really exist?"

"I'm very sorry, my lord, I can't understand what you mean very well." Sebastian bowed slightly, showing skill in every move, "But this body is based on the consciousness information complex shaped by the original energy, and your touch is realistic. The Internet comes from the transmission of information, and for this technology, the best expression I can find in your vocabulary is ghosts."

Consciousness information complex, this kind of adjective with a sense of science and technology made Shen Shi calm down a little.

He has realized.

The so-called science actually represents a research attitude towards unknown phenomena. In other words, even if ghosts do exist, they may have been thoroughly researched in the future.

Sebastian in front of him is the best example.

However, Shen Shi still couldn't help asking: "Then, do ghosts exist on this planet?"

At this moment, he really wants to know whether the nagging things he heard in the past are true.

Sebas was silent for a moment.

He is the simulated image of the battleship's central AI, and the battleship naturally has information warfare functions, so in just this moment, a large amount of information has been collected and analyzed from the world's network.

Then he said: "My lord, according to the preliminary intelligence collection and analysis, the technological development of the consciousness information system on this planet is still in the primitive stage, and the supporting technology is also insufficient. The possibility of forming a consciousness information complex in this civilization, Less than one in three billion."

"call--"

Shen Shi let out a long breath of relief.

Nothing is fine.

If not, the "ghost" that Sebas said was not the "ghost" in his cognition, and the sense of fear suddenly became much smaller.

However, Shen Shi was also curious about the "consciousness information technology" that Sebas said.

After all, for him at this moment, the most important thing is to understand the spaceship as soon as possible, and then grasp the current situation of the interstellar society, and even grasp the information of the future. Don't be so cautious, worrying that your words and deeds will expose your background and affect the transaction.

But when Shen Shi asked, Sebas did not answer directly, but saluted again and said: "My lord, the 'Vogt' is equipped with a complete basic file information database. Your inquiry can be obtained from the information database. To get a more detailed answer, this requires your authorization."

database?

Shen Shi recalled that this seemed to be the "additional head" given to him by the collector at the end of the transaction.

He suddenly realized that this information base might be the most valuable thing to him!

"Allowed." Shen Shi couldn't wait to know more information.

"Yes!" Sebas raised his hands.

Suddenly, the surrounding environment changed.

A series of three-dimensional images appeared.

As if still in the virtual market.

Shen Shi couldn't tell whether it was virtual or real.

Until the sound came along with the picture.

"Consciousness information technology, which can also be called primary energy technology, together with macro technology and micro technology, are called the three development directions of cosmic civilization with infinite possibilities."

"The origin of its development comes from the exploration of the nature of 'consciousness' by intelligent life forms."

"In the initial stage, most intelligent life civilizations will believe that the essence of 'consciousness' comes from the macroscopic manifestation of the regular movement of microscopic particles, but in the second stage, researchers will find that the operating laws of microscopic particles under the influence of 'consciousness' It does not comply with the fundamental theorem of microscopic technology."

"In the third stage, consciousness will be studied in depth as a subject independent of matter."

"In the fourth stage, it is assumed that there is an unknown energy level in consciousness—primordial energy. This stage is the initial stage of the application of consciousness information system technology."

"The fifth stage..."

"..."

With the continuous introduction voices and various corresponding research images and experimental images, Shen Shi seems to be watching a popular science movie about the interstellar society, but there is not much interest at all. The information contained in it, based on his thinking Ability, can only look dizzy, most of the content can not be understood at all.

However, some places that can be understood a little bit have brought great thinking pressure.

For example, if a living individual is completely copied from the determinable most basic particles, another individual thus produced, even under the environment completely consistent with that of the original body, will have completely different manifestations of consciousness.

From Shen Shi's point of view, this is simply a philosophical question.

Copy another exactly the same me, is that me?

Most people would think no.

The same is true of the experimental results.

Then, a further experiment is coming. When uploading the consciousness to the virtual network, is the consciousness running in the virtual network still you?

The fantasy of uploading to the Internet also exists in modern society, so when I become a pile of electronic information, is it really me who is reborn?

In particular, Shen Shi has experienced virtual reality. When trading in the virtual market, he feels that half of his consciousness is still in the body, and half of his consciousness is in the virtual market. What is the situation?

It's okay if you don't study it carefully, but it will explode if you study it carefully!

In the end, Shen Shi gave up exploring.

Human beings' understanding of the world is just a drop in the ocean of the entire universe. Among other things, simulated and deformed substances are like magical magic in his view. Without the spirit of scientific inquiry to study these, it is simply asking for trouble.

"In short, there is such a kind of 'primordial energy' that can achieve the effect in front of me, right? I know this is enough." Shen Shi let out a breath, and felt relaxed after giving up deep thinking, but suddenly thought of something , could not help asking, "By the way, I remember that there is a so-called 'primitive energy room' in the battleship? Is there a place where the original energy is produced?"

This original energy room is listed on the first page of the long "instruction manual" of the battleship.

So Shen Shi still had an impression.

But at this moment, he was also a little curious. Since the original energy came from consciousness, where did the original energy on the battleship come from?

Chapter 21: Materials for primary batteries

"Yes, my lord." Sebastian bowed slightly, "However, you may feel a little uncomfortable with the existence of the original energy room."

Just this one sentence made Shen Shi's face change slightly.

A guess suddenly crossed his mind.

Staring closely at Sebas in front of him, he asked word by word, "Why do you say that?"

"This is based on my understanding of you, my lord." Sebastian maintained an apologetic posture, "In order to serve you better, I need some time to understand you. I am sorry for making you uncomfortable before."

Although the battleship's central AI can communicate with its owner through a personal terminal, this link is passive and cautious.

So no matter how advanced the AI ​​is, it takes a certain amount of time to develop a tacit understanding.

At this moment, Sebastian already had a certain understanding of Shen Shi.

For example, he has re-judged his emotional sensitivity. If it were now, he would never say the word "ghost" in his mouth.

Shen Shi also understood this point.

But after a moment of silence, he said slowly, "Take me there."

Here, his battleship, he could allow himself to be uncomfortable, but not enough to understand it.

This kind of determination based on the desire to control was also conveyed to Sebas.

He saluted again: "Follow your will."

The floating disc under his feet started to run automatically, and Shen Shi didn't feel the existence of inertia. This wonderful experience dispelled a little uneasiness. After all, he came here to get to know his battleship well this time.

After passing through a thin film emitting soft light, he came to a metal door in the blink of an eye.

So fast!

Shen Shi was taken aback again and couldn't help asking.

"Is the movement speed in the battleship so fast? Or is the original energy room not far from the entrance?"

"Only you have the authority to access the exclusive channel." Sebastian replied.

This is actually to allow the captain to quickly inspect the situation of the entire battleship.

It is also to prevent the warship from being invaded by outsiders.

Whether attacking or evacuating, the safety of the captain can be guaranteed to the maximum extent.

Shen Shi can only say that the products of the future world are more comprehensive than he imagined.

However, at this moment, his eyes were on the metal door in front of him.

"Can it be opened?" he asked.
