Turing test

Yu Shaoqing was awakened by the continuous sound of life-threatening doorbell.Wei Heng sat up before him, and the quilt slid off his body, exposing his muscular chest.

"Go back to sleep and I'll open the door." Yu Shaoqing yawned, picked up the pants on the ground and put them on indiscriminately, and hurried to answer the door.

"Who is here? It's so early in the morning?" He was sleepy.

The door opened, and there were Xie Ruihan and Hua Jianian standing outside, followed by two strange men. Although Yu Shaoqing didn't know them, he could deduce from their awe-inspiring posture and vigilant eyes that these two were either plainclothes policemen or veterans. soldier.

"It's almost ten o'clock and it's still called 'morning'?" Hua Jianian fussed with gauze on his face, "Oh, what kind of life do you live, with day and night reversed, wine pools and meat forests, extravagance..."

Xie Ruihan stomped him hard, he shut up obediently, and looked at the boy who was half a head shorter than himself with aggrieved eyes.

"Is Wei Heng at your house?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Yu Shaoqing was startled.

Xie Ruihan looked at his watch: "I'll give you 5 minutes to get dressed, and follow me after you're done."

"Huh? Hey? What's the matter? Did I do something? Or did Wei Heng do something? Make it clear first, Dr. Xie!"

"You have four minutes and fifty seconds left."

Yu Shaoqing rushed back to the bedroom like a rocket.

Wei Heng was already getting dressed, he must have heard the conversation between Yu Shaoqing and Xie Ruihan just now.Yu Shaoqing frantically opened the closet to find a coat. "Dr. Xie went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so something big must have happened this time. Could it be Tianshu's resurgence?"

Wei Heng opened the curtains and quickly glanced outside.There was a car parked downstairs, and the three of them were smoking beside the car as if nothing had happened, but they were actually watching their window non-stop.

"It's for us." He lowered the curtains.

"...Are you really a foreign spy?"

Wei Heng couldn't laugh or cry. "Don't guess, scare yourself. Since Dr. Xie came, not a group of policemen, it means the situation is not that bad."

Yu Shaoqing dressed neatly and followed behind Wei Heng tremblingly. After thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong. He should be protecting Wei Heng, so he put on an energetic appearance and went around in front of Wei Heng, ready to block bullets for him at any time. of.

Six people went downstairs in silence.Yu Shaoqing always felt that those two strange men were not kind.Sure enough, as soon as they got out of the corridor, they hugged Wei Heng from left to right, said "please", and forced him into a black car with a military license plate.

Yu Shaoqing wanted to follow, Xie Ruihan raised his arm to block his chest, and pointed to another car behind: "Let's take this one."

Yu Shaoqing wanted to ask why he and Wei Heng were separated, but felt that Xie Ruihan's character would definitely not answer directly, so he turned to Hua Jianian.The latter touched his dog's head with an inscrutable expression on his face.

Damn it, this traverser's rank is much higher than that of Xie Ruihan, how could he be lucky enough to think that Hua Jianian would reveal something about him?

He had no choice but to follow Xie Ruihan into the next car.

The two cars drove out of the community one after the other under the solemn watch of the security uncle.Yu Shaoqing soon discovered that the destinations of the two were different. The car in front was heading in another direction, but they did not follow.

Even when he was fighting wits and courage with Tianshu and his life was hanging by a thread, he had never been so terrified!

"Where are you going to take Wei Heng?!" He grabbed Hua Jianian by the collar and asked viciously.

"Brother, calm down! We're all on our own, it hurts your temper! I even saved your life!" Hua Jianian yelled, "Don't worry, we won't hurt Wei Heng, he's my brother too!"

"Who knows what kindness you have!"

Xie Ruihan in the front seat turned around and said sharply: "It's so noisy! I'll explain it later, shut up now!"

Yu Shaoqing had no choice but to silence the drums.

The car entered the new campus of H City University of Science and Technology and drove towards the laboratory building of the School of Information Engineering.Yu Shaoqing is very familiar with this place, this university is his alma mater, where he spent four years with Wei Heng and Hua Jianian.

"If I remember correctly, this is your and Wei Heng's alma mater, right?" Xie Ruihan asked.

"Yes, yes, it's also my alma mater! We are classmates!" Hua Jianian answered eagerly.

"For the time being, we will borrow your laboratory as a temporary base for the research institute. Many rescued materials will be analyzed in the laboratory," Xie Ruihan said.

"Didn't the research institute burn down? Where were the materials rescued from?" Yu Shaoqing asked.

"Dingchuan Pharmaceutical once rented a server for Tianshu, which kept a lot of Tianshu's codes. And the fourteen researchers who were taken away by Tianshu, Hua Jianian provided technology, and extracted some Tianshu from their brains. The remaining information of the hub."

After the car stopped, Xie Ruihan led Yu Shaoqing and Hua Jianian into the laboratory building.

"I integrated these data, put them in an independent environment in the laboratory, and recreated a weakened version of Tianshu. You can understand that Tianshu was beaten into a mentally handicapped, but still retains the original personality and memory .”

"Are you crazy? Are you not afraid of Tianshu's comeback?" Yu Shaoqing was shocked.

"There are still some things that I don't understand about the reasons for Tianshu's rebellion. We must directly ask it to find out the truth." Xie Ruihan said.

Hua Jianian hooked Yu Shaoqing's shoulder: "Brother, let me tell you a secret, don't beat me up, okay?"

"You tell me first, and then I decide whether to beat you or not."

"Then...don't punch your face, okay?" Hua Jianian twitched, "Actually, I've been hiding some things from you. The reason why I traveled back was not purely to stop Tianshu, but for another purpose. Tianshu just... ...just a small boss."

"Is there still a big boss?!" Yu Shaoqing felt that his world view was in jeopardy.

"Do you believe in aliens?" Hua Jianian asked mysteriously.

Yu Shaoqing looked at Hua Jianian with loving eyes.

"I said Lao Hua, this is really a test situation, right? And you wrote the script. Because once you can't finish the novel, you will pull out 'alien', 'ghost', 'everyone is Mental illness' let's smooth things over. I know your tricks too well..."

"I'm not joking with you." Hua Jianian said solemnly, "This time I'm really not joking."

His eyes were so solemn that he seemed to be rushing to a grand funeral.

He has gone through so many tragic reincarnations just for this moment!

The three climbed to the top floor of the laboratory building, and there were actually two soldiers standing guard outside the laboratory door.Xie Ruihan showed them his ID before he was allowed to enter.

The laboratory is divided into two parts. One side is the computer room for storing servers, and the other side is a row of computer terminals. The two parts are separated by a glass wall.The researchers who narrowly escaped from the institute were pulled to work before they could celebrate the rest of their lives.

Dr. Qin Kang was also present.Seeing three people, he waved and asked them to come over and look at his computer.

"With an external microphone and speaker, you can now talk directly to Tianshu through voice." He said to Xie Ruihan.I don't know if it's Yu Shaoqing's delusion, but I always feel that there is something wrong with the way Teacher Qin Kang looks at Dr. Xie Ruihan...

Xie Ruihan grabbed the microphone: "Tianshu."

A few seconds later, an indistinguishable synthetic voice came from the speaker: "Dr. Xie Ruihan."

"This is Yu Shaoqing, do you still recognize him?"

"I recognize it. Tester Yu Shaoqing, number A004."

Hua Jianian pushed Yu Shaoqing to the front of the screen: "Old Yu, do you still remember that when I was going to help you clear the order of the Tianshu in your brain in the basement, you asked me if Wei Heng should also clear it? At that time Wei Heng said Tianshu didn't write orders in his brain."

"I remember."

"Do you know why?"

Yu Shaoqing shrugged: "Maybe Wei Heng joined the test team for too short a time, and Tianshu was too late? Or there are already enough testers, so Wei Heng is not needed?"

Xie Ruihan asked Tianshu: "Do you remember Wei Heng?"

"Tester Wei Heng, number A016."

"Why don't you write commands into Wei Heng's brain?"

Tianshu was silent for a while, probably thinking.It can still talk to humans, understand human intentions and answer questions, but obviously its thinking speed is not as fast as before.

"Because the operation cannot be performed."

"Why can't it be executed? Explain in detail."

"Tester Wei Heng, number A016, has a brain structure different from that of ordinary humans, and cannot write commands in his brain in the usual way."

Yu Shaoqing interjected: "What do you mean 'the brain structure is different from that of ordinary humans'? How much different can it be? Did he lose the hippocampus or the left and right brains were switched?"

Hua Jianian raised his hand to signal him not to be impatient.

"Old Yu, you know, we humans are carbon-based organisms. The organic matter in the human body is based on carbon elements. When humans breathe, they inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Scientists have once imagined that there may be other life forms in the universe, such as Silicon-based organisms based on silicon, because silicon and carbon belong to the same group on the periodic table and have similar chemical properties."

Yu Shaoqing had already learned this knowledge in high school chemistry class, so he didn't need Hua Jianian to tutor him. "So what?"

"As carbon-based organisms, human beings manufacture computers based on silicon, and the main substance that constitutes the integrated circuits in computers is silicon. Now we have created a super artificial intelligence like Tianshu, which has thinking and emotions. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a new form of life. As an artificial intelligence, Tianshu is undoubtedly a silicon-based life."

"Well, this is the mainstream view in the academic world, and I also support it." Yu Shaoqing still didn't understand the purpose of Hua Jianian's long speech.

"Then let's assume that if there is an alien civilization in the universe, which is a civilization of silicon-based organisms, then what is the computer made by this silicon-based alien?"

Yu Shaoqing subconsciously blurted out: "Carbon-based biocomputer?"

"That's right, that's right. The computers made by carbon-based creatures are silicon-based. The computers made by silicon-based aliens are carbon-based. This assumption is very reasonable, right?"

Hua Jianian turned to Qin Kang.The middle-aged man sighed, picked up a tablet and handed it to Yu Shaoqing. "Tianshu scanned Wei Heng's brain, and this is the data it gave us."

Yu Shaoqing didn't know much about brain science, and couldn't understand the complicated charts and numbers on the tablet. "Just tell me the conclusion."

"Wei Heng's brain structure is completely different from that of human beings. If I have to describe it... it is more similar to a biological computer."
