She didn't like Bai Men at all, Xia Fan noticed.
Is it because An was defeated by the "messenger"? But now that she has returned to human beings, she also needs the protection of the shelter. There seems to be a deeper reason for this.
"What exactly is the will of the world?"
"It is the artificial brain created by humans that maintains the normal operation of the base."
"Artificial... brain?" Xia Fan asked in surprise. He couldn't tell for a moment whether this was literal or had a deeper connotation.
"Yes," An pointed at Sikong, "Can you tell whether she is a human or a machine?"
"Uh..." Xia Fan couldn't answer for a while. He could tell the difference easily before, but now he always feels that his thinking is becoming more and more like a real person, and his tone of voice is no longer stiff as when they first met, and sometimes even He also tells funny jokes.
"I can tell it easily, because no matter how good the simulation system is, they are still not living beings. In other words, they cannot use thinking energy." An said straightforwardly, "So she can only be used to assist humans, and It cannot replace Omega.”
Xia Fan glanced at Si Kong subconsciously, but the latter's expression remained unchanged, seeming to acquiesce to the other party's words.
"If you can't use Qi, you can't go beyond the limits of the electronic system, and if you want to go beyond this limit..."
"We can no longer treat it as an electronic system." Xia Fan continued smoothly.
"What?"
"No...just keep talking."
An rolled his eyes at Xia Fan - although the latter couldn't see it, he clearly felt it, "If you want to go beyond the limit, the traditional technical route is not feasible. So the researcher at the time put forward a crazy idea, manufacturing An unprecedented giant brain, the way it is stacked makes it surpass all artificial intelligence systems in the past and present. The size of this kind of brain can fit into five to six football fields, and the power it consumes is enough to supply a satellite city!"
Xia Fan took a breath, is this okay
However, if you think about it carefully, this seems to be a crude solution, but it requires extremely high-level biotechnology to support it. Reminiscent of the rapid advancement of brain science at the end of the earth, human body modification has become a fashion, which may be one of the reasons for the birth of this idea.
If it is a biological brain, it can theoretically drive Qi directly to accomplish goals, and calculation and control are just a small part of the function.
but…
"What's the difference between that and artificial humans?"
"Of course there is. First of all, it has no ethical issues." An shrugged. "Don't underestimate this. It was crucial to gain social recognition and be included in global projects at that time. Secondly, it is not a truly free life. , because the positions on several key central nervous nodes are replaced by calculators, which makes its thinking logic form a closed loop, thus eliminating the risk of it becoming independent from humans."
Can you still do this
Xia Fan was dumbfounded for a moment. He had heard many fantasies about the combination of biological and mechanical parts, but basically the biological part took up a small part and the mechanical part took up a big part. This was the first time he had heard of this reverse approach. But it makes sense if you think about it carefully. After all, it is difficult to simulate the human brain with a machine, but simulating a machine with a human brain is doing subtraction, which is much less difficult.
"This project finally landed on the Moon Guard Base and became the core of the shelter." An pointed to the ground, "It controls everything in this world: the flow of wind, the evaporation of water, light and night, naturally including Birth and death. Of course, it was far from being so powerful from the beginning, and the area it could control was only a few square kilometers. However, in terms of self-growth, this brain has unique advantages. In addition, it can use Qi, and its current scale It must have been quite astonishing. The continued existence of the shelter today is entirely due to its contribution. I am afraid that no one in the Escape Committee could have foreseen this."
Sure enough, she knew far more than thought control.
It is indeed a consciousness that has continued from that era to this day.
Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh that the way of heaven that the world pursues is actually a huge head. I'm afraid not many people will believe it.
But aside from this point, what is the difference between it and "gods"
All people live under its protection and use the light and water it provides. It can call the wind and rain, and it can also convey "divine will" and select its own apostles from those who listen. The evolution of the world into what it is today is probably inseparable from the arrangement of the will of the world.
"Weird..." Sikong muttered.
"What's wrong?" Xia Fan asked.
"According to this, this will is the basis for the operation of the shelter. It is the core of the bottom layer. It should also be able to control the escape tower. But I can't feel its existence. None of the authority agreements come from outside the patio area." She He said in confusion, "There are a lot of self-defense weapons in the escape tower."
Xia Fan quickly understood her confusion. These weapons were equally effective against evil spirits. If it was to prevent the invasion of chaotic entities, then the underlying core should have all the force resources and be able to mobilize all its power to fight against the enemy at critical times. This is also the case for human beings. Common practice.
"There's nothing surprising." An said unconcernedly, "Don't forget the time when it was born. At that time, the earth was still in good condition, and uncontrolled large-scale integration had not yet occurred. As an experimental project, it will be closely related to what will follow. The Escape Committee didn’t have much overlap.”
"It's not difficult to reserve interfaces..."
"Then let it take over the escape tower and control all the weapons and equipment in the tower?" An smiled sarcastically, "Human beings are not that generous."
To put it bluntly, humans do not trust this core.
"In addition, the more closed the system, the more stable it is, just like we cannot control our heartbeat and breathing. For the creator, it only needs to maintain the ecological cycle of the area, and everything else does not need its intervention. "
"But now it will choose listeners and its own apostles..." Xia Fan frowned.
"Ah, there is no doubt." An smiled slightly, "This is all the decision of the will of the world itself - I am afraid that the Escape Committee will not think that the composite body created by itself for pleasure will be an opportunity for it to break the seal. And from logic This is also in line with its closed loop of thinking. After all, the barrier is gradually declining, and the balance with chaos will be broken sooner or later. In order to continue the sanctuary, it needs new help."
At this point, An paused for a moment, "You have asked me so many questions, and it's my turn to ask you. Now that you know the truth, what are you going to do next? Humans can't survive outside the shelter, so Even suppressing Chaos here cannot do without the help of the will of the world. But you should also understand that it can choose one apostle, it can choose a hundred, a thousand...it just takes time."
At that time, everyone in the world will exist as a sharp blade of the world's will.
