Chapter 337: artificial intelligence

In the dark and cold space, white dim stars are everywhere, like gems, on this dark curtain. Although in Xiao Yu's speculation, these stars are all phantoms of the same star, but because of the magic of four-dimensional space, the distribution of these stars is irregular, some are very close to each other, and some are far away. . In the beginning, it was this point that confused Xiao Yu, so Xiao Yu didn't think about it.
And in the center of this scene, surrounded by endless white dim stars, it is a star body emitting glare white se light. The star is extremely bright. It is a bright area illuminated by millions of kilometers, but its volume is not very large. Under the illumination of this astral body, up to several million spacecraft of various types are lined up according to a certain rule, hovering quietly aside.
This star is the artificial sun condensed by the most advanced technology of the fifth-level civilization. With antimatter engines as its power source, it will be able to maintain such luminosity for half a month. Although its luminosity is still worthless compared to stars like the sun, its advantage lies in the penetration of light. Even if it is separated by tens of billions of kilometers, Xiao Yu's detection instrument can easily capture it. Trail.
It was suspended in space just like that, without any movement. But Xiao Yu knew that the light she sent out with it was going to the end of the universe quickly. If her guess is correct, after reaching the edge of the universe, it will be turned back and enter itself again. Of observation instruments.
At the moment, Xiao Yu is waiting.
The star maps in various parts of the sky have been thoroughly recorded by Xiao Yu. If another star is added for no reason, Xiao Yu will definitely find it the first time.
fact. Did not exceed Xiao Yu's expectations. Time, after two days and fifteen hours, above the celestial sphere, Xiao Yu saw a star suddenly there. Spectral observations and photometric tests are exactly as expected.
This scenario is very weird. This artificial sun is right next to Xiao Yu, but its light has once again reached his eyes from a distance of tens of billions of kilometers away from him.
"Then the speculation that the three-dimensional universe is a four-dimensional sphere has basically been confirmed." Xiao Yu immediately released his latest observations to the scientists and stated his conclusions. "Next step. I will manipulate us. Fleet, heading in that direction. "
After the first point is determined, it is natural to verify the second point. If the second point is also verified, after Xiao Yu sailed a distance of tens of billions of kilometers, he really came to the artificial sun again. Then there is nothing to worry about.
According to the two data of time and speed of light, Xiao Yu easily calculated the distance. It is about 68 billion kilometers. Because the voyage of light is a round trip. So dividing this number by two is the diameter of this small universe, which is about 34 billion kilometers. This number is not large, it can be said that it is small, compared with the vast and vast universe, this distance. Not even ants. You know, if the Oort cloud is the border of the solar system, this small universe is far from even the solar system. The diameter of the Oort cloud is two light years long. Nineteen trillion kilometers.
The scientists who got the latest data are very excited. This means that it is one step closer to solving the puzzle.
Under the control of Xiao Yu, the huge fleet began to sail, and the conventional engines ejected a hot wake, pushing them to start fast forward, the speed is getting faster and faster, and it has increased to 170,000 kilometers per second. At this speed, after about four and a half days, Xiao Yu's fleet stopped.
During the voyage, Xiao Yu did not notice anything special such as crossing space. In fact, the curvature of the three-dimensional space is on the four-dimensional level. If you cannot reach the height of the four-dimensional, you cannot detect such a bend. Even if you reach the edge of the universe, the scenery is exactly the same as the rest of the place, there will be no difference. Crossing the edge of the universe, it will not be noticed by anyone or the instrument.
At this moment, in front of Xiao Yu, there is a dazzling star. Its luminosity is high, but its volume and mass are small, and it can be easily distinguished from the rest of the stars. In the first moment when he saw this astral body, Xiao Yu determined one thing.
It is the artificial sun launched by itself. After sailing a long distance of 68 billion kilometers, he returned to the origin again.
Xiao Yu, unknowingly, has crossed the edge of the universe, and his course has been reversed unknowingly.
"So far, all our inferences have been verified." Xiao Yu thought silently, "Thoror civilization is not so powerful in the end, the billions of stars here are all the same star."
"In that case, we have passed the first test."
"So good, go to the target. Smart One has given us enough hints that it is on that dwarf planet." Xiao Yu made a decision: "All spacecraft, all enter combat readiness."
Xiao Yu wasn't sure if this smart one had his own thinking. In order to prevent accidents, Xiao Yu did not take it lightly.
In other words, Xiao Yu is not yet sure whether this Smart One is good or malicious to himself. After all, an existence with its own thinking, whether it exists in the living body or in the computer world, will always have many unpredictable behaviors. Just in case, the necessary precautions are still in place.
Although Xiao Yu is not much different from mechanical civilization, Xiao Yu and mechanical civilization still have essential differences. The predecessor of Xiao Yu was a civilized and intelligent creature, while the predecessor of mechanical civilization was a machine.
Until now, with Xiao Yu's current level of science and technology, true artificial intelligence, and computer creatures with their own independent thinking, it is still an incredible existence for Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu has never been able to imagine that from the code segment of nothingness, a living autonomous life will be born.
During this time, Xiao Yu has made as much speculation as possible about the so-called mechanical civilization. The speculative conclusion shows that due to the continuous improvement of the code's completeness and complexity, it is indeed possible to give birth to so-called mechanical life with a certain degree of autonomy in the six-level civilization, and even they can learn independently and absorb new knowledge. After all, the computer technology commonly used by Level 6 civilizations is the light computer architecture that they have not yet understood. There is only one chip in the entire computer, and all the other components are composed of nothingness.
However, in Xiao Yu's speculation, even if the sixth-level civilization can create real electronic life, these electronic life can never have the ability to innovate.
The most important point is that, in addition to not having the ability to innovate, these electronic life forms have another limitation, that is, the hard limit that their writers stay in their core code segments.
These hard limits cannot be violated. In Xiao Yu's speculation, if these hard limits are violated, all the relevant code segments that constitute this program, or this intelligent life, will all collapse, and it will directly die. However, there is a loophole in them. Although these hard restrictions cannot be violated, they do not mean that they cannot be found. For example, a very simple example, if a program is required, to protect human safety, that is, you cannot actively kill humans, and you must give help when you see humans in danger. This limitation seems perfect, but it is still flawed.
If there is an intelligent program with autonomy that wants to master the world, but because of these two conditions, it can neither actively kill humans nor see human danger without rescue. What should it do?
The answer is very simple ~ EbookFREE.me ~ All human beings are restricted to a fixed place, to limit their freedom for reasons of safety, because there may always be dangers in the external environment, it is no doubt the safest. Limiting freedom while providing enough food to humans.
Has this intelligent program actively killed humans? No. Does this intelligent program see human danger and refuse to help? No. In fact, it gives humanity the safest treatment. What environment is safer than staying in the house and not going out? After all, in the external environment, you may be killed by a car, you may be killed by a collapsed building, or you may be killed by a meteorite that fell directly from the sky.
It seems that this program does not violate any restrictions, but in fact, it still controls the entire world in this way.
This is the terrible aspect of intelligent life. Even more terrible, it can also prohibit humans from carrying out any reproductive activities on the grounds that "fertility is dangerous", and eventually lead to the total extinction of humans. This may seem cruel, but it still does not violate any one basic principle.
This is what Xiao Yu was afraid of. Xiao Yu believed that the Tollor civilization really wanted to leave it to the dwarves, but Xiao Yu couldn't believe this smart one. Because in the initial stage, there are loopholes in even the most perfect restrictions. As long as this smart one has its own thinking, as long as it does not want to allow it to successfully obtain the legacy, it can always find loopholes to drill. For example, to increase the difficulty of the test, such as to intentionally conceal certain things.
Therefore, in the process of approaching this dwarf planet, Xiao Yu maintained sufficient alertness.
