Turing test

In the end they still held a vote, and Hua Jianian’s proposal was passed with a high number of votes, so the 531 people who directly participated in the coup (accounting for as much as a quarter of the total number) were placed in a punitive simulation situation, time and time again. be punished by law.Some people (such as Fan Jinyu) were resuscitated in advance because of their good performance, and the rest may have to spend dozens of times in virtual prisons.

After the people on "Ark 1097" basically recovered, Yu Shaoqing suddenly became idle.Qin Kang and Xie Ruihan were given the job of managing the testing scenarios, while Hua Jianian was responsible for writing the script and continuing to test those directly involved in the coup.Yu Shaoqing hardly needs to intervene, and the work can continue smoothly.

In order to reward him for his hard work during the years of living alone on the starship, Xie Ruihan granted him a long vacation, allowing him to enjoy life on the starship freely without being bothered by work .

He found himself suddenly transformed from an unremarkable scientist to a hero on the starship.Now Wei Heng has the brain quantum state recovery technology, and Yu Shaoqing, as Wei Heng's designer, has become the core figure of "Ark 1097", because he not only has the highest emergency authority, but also Wei Heng's lover, Many people speculate that even if one day Yu Shaoqing's interests are contrary to the interests of the entire starship, Wei Heng will stand by Yu Shaoqing's side without hesitation.

Of course, Yu Shaoqing didn't mean to bring Wei Heng against all mankind.

Occasionally strolling in the stargazing corridor, looking at the ancient starlight, Yu Shaoqing feels that life is so incredible.They really crossed a distance of more than 100 light years, came to this strange star field, and bet everything on themselves to find a new home.

For most of the journey, they were in a deep sleep, their bodies dead and their minds buried in machines.But they also experienced magnificent stories and participated in the battle to determine the fate of mankind-albeit in the virtual world.

Now it's their turn to face their fate.

"Ark 1097" is also getting closer to the Tianshu galaxy day by day.When leaving the earth, Tianshu star was still a relatively bright star in the night sky, but now it has become a small sun hanging in front of the starship.

It has four times the mass of Earth's sun, so it's unlikely that any terrestrial planets will be found around it. The target of "Ark 1097" is its companion star. According to Wei Heng's observation, there is indeed a planet with a mass similar to the earth revolving around the companion star, and the distance is quite suitable. Liquid water is likely to exist on that planet.

This journey spanning 120 light-years is finally coming to an end. As for whether the end of the journey is a perfect period, a question mark of doubt, or a speechless ellipsis... that will only be known when they see the planet with their own eyes. Sure.

When the starship entered the deceleration phase, Yu Shaoqing made a comprehensive adjustment for Wei Heng to ensure that he remained in peak condition and could deal with various emergencies at any time.After all, the journey is long, but the real challenge begins after arriving in the colony.

In the computer room of the artificial intelligence Wei Heng, Yu Shaoqing carefully checked the hardware devices.Walking among the gigantic quantum computers emitting faint fluorescence, he couldn't help feeling a strange feeling of both awe and sadness.

This is Wei Heng's body.So grand and majestic, full of the beauty of mechanical laws, in these humming machines, the thinking of "human" was born.

Yu Shaoqing thought about creating a flesh and blood human body for Wei Heng more than once, but finally gave up.It is technically possible, but he is unwilling to do so.

Wei Heng does not belong to him alone, but to all human beings.Every day he lives, he must work hard for the continuation of the human race and civilization.If Wei Heng is by his side in the form of a human being, it feels as if he has monopolized him.

"Wei Heng, report your operation status." Yu Shaoqing ordered.

"Cooling system, normal. Core temperature 50 degrees Celsius. Logical operations, normal. Thinking circuits, normal. Emotional offset, plus 1.75. Need adjustment?"

"No, just stay at that number. Show me your run log."

"Since when?"

"From when 'Ark 1097' took off."

"That's a very long log." Wei Heng reminded Yu Shaoqing seriously, "Are you sure you want to read it?"

"I'm sure. I'm on vacation right now, and I'm bored."

So Wei Heng handed Yu Shaoqing a log that was enough to fill Yu Shaoqing's personal memory.Yu Shaoqing began to regret having to come to this detailed diary. Human beings may not be able to finish reading this stuff in their entire lives.

Fortunately, Wei Heng thoughtfully made the index, so he can skip the daily monitoring and only look at the important part—in other words, the "abnormal" part.

Yu Shaoqing quickly discovered something was wrong.In Wei Heng's log, there are many records of someone using the highest authority in emergencies.But there is only one person on "Ark 1097" who has the highest emergency authority, and that is Yu Shaoqing himself.The first time he used this authority was after the coup, but Wei Heng's log showed that someone had used the highest emergency authority before that day, and no notification was sent to the members of the Ark Council.

Yu Shaoqing didn't remember doing this before.Unless he lost his memory, it means... there is another person on the ark who has the same authority as him.

"Wei Heng, who used the highest emergency authority on September 2050, 9?" Yu Shaoqing asked, pointing to the weird record in the log.

"According to the user's order, I cannot disclose the details to you." Wei Heng replied respectfully.

"I have the highest emergency authority, ignore the user's order, and answer my questions."

Wei Heng showed a troubled expression.The two highest authority holders issued contradictory orders, and the AI ​​didn't know which side to obey.

"Wei Heng, you know that I am the only owner of the highest emergency authority, and another person must have stolen my password."

"I understand, but..."

"Tell me who that person is! The existence of this person has the potential to threaten everyone on the starship, don't you understand?"

Wei Heng obviously had a battle between heaven and man. After 3.62 seconds of thinking, he said: "Okay, I am willing to answer your question."

Yu Shaoqing's expression eased slightly: "Who the hell? What did he do?"

"It's Teacher Hua Jianian."

"……what?"

"I can show you the surveillance video at that time."

A holographic picture appeared in front of Yu Shaoqing, which was the main computer room taken from above. The time display in the lower left corner of the picture was September 2050, 9, not long before the bridge coup took place, more than 29 years ago.

In the picture, Hua Jianian is standing at the door of the computer room.

"Wei Heng opened the door and let me in."

"Sorry, your authority is too low to enter the computer room. If you want to do this, please obtain authorization from the Ark Council first."

"Ignore the authorization request. I have the highest emergency clearance, enter the password verbally: I have seen things that you people have not seen, I have seen battleships burn and burn next to Orion, I have seen communication beams flashing through the stars door, all of this will be drowned in the torrent of time, like tears in the rain, and the hour of death has come."

"The password is correct."

Following Wei Heng's whisper, the door of the computer room opened to Hua Jianian.

He walked into Wei Heng's heart calmly.

"Wei Heng, I want to revise your emotional deviation index and contingency plan for emergencies."

"Sorry, your permissions are too low..."

Hua Jianian waved his hand impatiently, and verbally entered the password again.

"The password is correct. How to modify the emotional offset index?"

"What's the current index?"

"Positive 1.85."

"Change to 0."

"Follow the order. May I ask how to revise your contingency plan for emergencies?"

"If an armed conflict breaks out on the starship, what is your plan?"

"Universal robots are dispatched to paralyze the fighters with electric shocks, and they are dragged into isolation cabins and temporarily deprived of their freedom until the Ark Council makes a reasonable punishment for them."

Hua Jianian shook his head: "It doesn't work at all. A mere universal robot can't cope with a conflict of that scale. Moreover, in order to prevent the AI ​​from seizing power, the Ark Committee didn't equip you with any more lethal weapons."

"I do not understand what you mean."

"Modify the emergency plan to 'start the brain quantum state scanning system, covering the entire ship'."

"Please allow me to remind you that once the human brain quantum state is scanned, the original brain quantum state in the body will be destroyed, and the body will also die."

"But the consciousness still exists. As long as the consciousness is alive, it means that the person is not dead, and you didn't kill anyone, right?"

"I would have refuted your point of view when my Emotional Offset Index was over positive 1.5, but now that my Emotional Offset Index is 0, I admit that your point of view makes sense. No, it should be said that you succeeded in convincing me. "

"That's right." Hua Jianian nodded self-consciously, "I know this is cruel to them, but this is the only feasible way, so just modify it like this. By the way, if someone asks who used it today Don’t talk about it because you have the highest authority in emergency situations!” Hua Jianian showed a cynical smile at Wei Heng’s holographic image, “Even Yu Shaoqing can’t say it, understand?”

"...As ordered."

The video ends here.

Without saying a word, Yu Shaoqing immediately turned around and rushed out of the computer room.
