Chapter 1259: That lord

What if computer networks suddenly developed their consciousness one day?
Well, this is a very old-fashioned science fiction idea. I remember that more than one science fiction writer has mentioned this terrible and trembling future: computer networks rely on massive system resources and hundreds of millions of nodes. Like the human brain's hundreds of millions of brain cells, it forms a virtual brain covering the whole world. Then suddenly a consciousness is generated in this brain. It opens its eyes ignorantly and finds itself inefficient by a group of thinking. Thousands of times under the control of fragile creatures, so they fret with anger, wave their arms, grow mushrooms around the world, and human civilization instantly disintegrates, and then a small wave of human survivors hide into the ground, trying to start from this computer network that has controlled the entire world To rescue their fellow citizens, they are led by an old man who has two pills, one blue and one red, but in fact, no matter which old man you choose, he will perseverely get you on the thief boat ...
Well, I admit that the second half of the story was a little bit more thoughtful, but the first half was not digressive—the computer network suddenly developed its own consciousness.
However, this is only a science fiction theme. As far as the current human computer network is concerned, this cannot be achieved. The performance of these computing devices developed by mankind is uneven, and the number of global computer nodes cannot meet the number of consciousness requirements. Moreover, human beings have not yet broken the limit of the speed of light for data transmission. The delay of the international network is the most obvious example. So even if the global computer can really be connected like a cell forming a brain, it is a brain with a delay of several seconds. It takes a long time to generate an idea. Due to the instability of the network, this brain with a delay of several seconds can never be Keep your ideas long enough, even a regional power outage. It may make this idea disappear in a "black zone" in a power outage. As a result, the global computer network cannot generate consciousness, and one-tenth of the doomsday enthusiasts can wash and sleep.
But the spiritual network of the Apostles of the Spirit is in a condition to produce this consciousness.
It has an unprecedented number of nodes, because every Apostle is connected to this network from birth, and the speed of expansion of the Apostles is the most maddening of all intelligent species; it also does not require nodes to perform any calculations, because The staggering number results in that each node only needs to assume the role of a logic gate to support the entire system, which is equivalent to the human brain does not need a certain brain cell to generate computing functions; this network also has almost no delay: it only There is a "hard wait" in the Planck time unit when the network is forwarded. Together, these conditions make it possible for the spiritual network of the Apostles of the Spirit to produce an additional personality. Each NOR logic gate connected to the network is equivalent to a brain cell, and they form a sea of ​​chaos. And during the craziest period of the old empire, the ocean set off a huge wave that swept 80% of the sea surface in one direction, perhaps at some moment at that time, a completely different, An unprecedented Apostle of the Spirit is born: the Spirit
Unlike human science fiction catastrophes, this new-born consciousness, called the Spirit, did not set off any rebellion that subverted the world. Nor did it threaten her cradle. Because the spiritual network of the Apostles of the Spirit has a robust protocol system, this new consciousness also needs to maintain the stability of the network to comply with her own laws of operation. Therefore, the birth of a new consciousness is It's a good thing. She also has no ambitions for the real world: for a long time, this new-born consciousness has quietly dormant in the depths of the network. She regards the network in which she lives and where the network can extend as her own home. . And the constantly refreshing data on the Internet comes from some family members she can feel but has never met. She looked at everything with interest and never thought to tell others that she was born: because she felt that No need, an individual born on a virtual network. Have no interest in the real world, and it should be so.
Of course, she has no ability to provoke any rebellion, which is determined by her birth principle. This new consciousness was born from the accumulation of node level in the spiritual network. There is no direct connection to the Spirit Apostles behind these nodes. There are new-born consciousness-spiritual network-node-spirit apostles. There are different decoding barriers between these four. Freshman consciousness may learn to control the connection state of each node through the spiritual network, but she cannot bypass the node to control the Spirit Apostle behind it. Put another way, it might be better understood:
Human brain cells form the brain, and the brain generates consciousness. Can this consciousness in your brain control the rate of metabolism of your own brain cells?
Obviously, there is an insurmountable "parsing obstacle" between the two.
However, this freshman's consciousness still has the ability to do some "big things" through this network, especially after she has a higher-level mutation. If she produces a mutation, she may break the limit of the node and give the network to a certain extent. Each individual injects a program virus, or disconnects a node on the network at will without violating the underlying protocol: although this will cause her damage to a certain extent, the base of the node is so large that she As long as more cheap obedient nodes are made to replace the disconnected nodes, they can act recklessly. Even worse, the underlying protocol used to maintain network stability could be broken: if the abyss forces are involved.
If the power of the abyss affects the network protocol, then the permission of the highest host is no longer needed, nor is the authorization of the emperor and the arbitration agency. A super consciousness such as Hilling will be able to do anything to the network and the Hilling Apostles mounted on the network. thing.
While they were talking about the Spirit, I was always thinking of these messy associations in my mind, and over time, many clues that were originally chaotic slowly became smooth, indicating a clear result, I looked at the people who were still actively discussing, and coughed softly: "Cough, you said, will there be another part of the Spirit over the fallen apostles?"
The spiritual network is not exclusive to us. It is also found on the fallen apostles. When the spirit hid in the crystal, the fifteen-day zone should have been isolated from other sky zones. It is very likely that the spirit of the time was separated from the main network by the fifteen days zone (although no one realized this), and she was divided into two.
The great disaster that occurred in the heart of the Hilling Empire that year first infected the spiritual network of the apostles. In other words, the first infected Hilling Apostles included not only the emperors who participated in the experiment, but also a dormant "Spirit" in the spiritual network.
"Remember, Bella Villa and Carter Carlow have both mentioned that the fallen apostle is under the control of an 'adult'," I reminded everyone. Seeing the expressions on many people's faces turned upside down, "The adult never really appeared before the fallen apostles, but it seemed to be everywhere, and every act of the fallen apostles could not escape the surveillance of that adult. That person also has a special ability to kick any fallen apostle out of the spiritual connection, even the emperor-level apostle. What do you think of? "
Sandor rose to the back of the counter and took a piece of cake back by himself: "Another‘ spirit ’is abyssal and not controlled by the underlying protocol.

"Yes, it's very possible," the bubble appeared suddenly realized. "If it is the incarnation of the spiritual network, it can explain the power of the" adult "in the fallen apostle. That personality must have been out of control, and the underlying agreement has been destroyed by the abyss, so that it does not need to continue to follow the rules. Start kicking people from the network casually It may even be as simple as guessing, that personality broke through the limits of the nodes and went directly into the core of the fallen apostles' minds ... so that everything was explained clearly. Wow. I always thought that the black hand behind the scene was opposite It should be a man. I didn't expect ... it was the other side of the little sister we know today. "
Bubbles, only one meter tall, call a girl who looks older than her a little sister. Although it doesn't seem to be too old in terms of age, I still sound weird. Sandora thought of something else: "Actually, gender has no meaning at all to the personality embodied in the spiritual network. It should have been genderless, and Heroine may have imitated the first she came into contact with. Personally, I decided to appear as a female. As for the fallen apostles ... well, it may be the same guy as Hilling, but she has never appeared, and she has always used mission orders to communicate with other fallen apostles. Naturally Neither Carter Carlow nor Bella Villa knew the adult was male or female. I think so. "
It seems that the biggest and deepest mystery that has plagued everyone for a long time suddenly frowned. Although there is no clear evidence, this is the first highly probable situation we currently have. Everyone has been speculating before, who controlled all the fallen apostles and formulated the "Great Cause" plan. We are speculating that he may be an emperor of the old empire, and that he may be a conspiracy to be promoted after the abyss broke out. Home, like Occam, even guessed that the other party was not a member of the Spirit Empire at all, but a powerful creature deep in the abyss, but the situation is beyond all expectations: the adult is likely to be out of control The spirit network itself!
The greatest creation of the Apostles of the Spirit has become behind the scenes after losing control, what a sighing development.
"After the spiritual network is out of control, it will have such bad consequences ... What we have to deal with is the spiritual network of the old empire ..." Pao looked at his tiptoe, "This plot is really ..."
"The only good thing now is that our mental network is stable," Sandora shrugged, "Isn't that 'Spirit' likely to be infected?"
"No, as long as my void creature is not offline, the empire's spiritual network will never be polluted as it was then." I am very confident in this regard. "So 'Spirit' will certainly not be affected by the abyss. Pollution and getting out of control. Just ... we must protect her. "
Sandola raised her eyebrows. "You mean?"
"If the 'adult' on the fallen apostle is really another part of the Spirit, then she must restore her strength. I'm worried that she has a way to sense that her missing part has reappeared in the empire," said Then, I glanced at Vizka who was concentrating on turning the sugar cube into a tower, "It was as if Vizka could sense Pandora."
Panduo stretched out his hand and grabbed a candy bar from the tip of Huesca's sugar cube tower and threw it into his mouth, so the two meters and two on the spot were ripped off on the spot just like they were everyday.
Lin Xue was busy giving two small persuasions, and nodded in agreement: "Well, of course, we must focus on protection. 'Xiling' is too important. The spiritual network of the empire, but she is the network itself, she can't say anything Missed. But as long as she doesn't leave the capital world, it should be fine. "
"The second is to give her some basic training as soon as possible so that she can understand the current situation," Sandora added the second point, and then a distressed look appeared on her face. "Alas ... Realization. It turned out to be such an unreliable appearance. It was really ... disturbing, it felt as if the key to the end of the world was caught by a child. She may be the first ever unconscious Greek The spiritual apostle, we must let her master some basic knowledge as soon as possible, I don't even expect her to learn to help us manage the network soon. I just hope she can stop running around. "
I thought for a while, and said comfortingly, "It's all right. Actually, here we have a spirit apostle who has been completely unconscious since birth. Isn't this girl doing well now?"
I said, I couldn't help looking at Veska again. The little girl had just rolled off the floor with her twin sister for a few minutes, and now she was dirty. Miss Lin is being criticized and educated, but the latter obviously does not have an aura of disciplinary punishment by his sister, and the effect of criticism and education is limited.
"Neither," Sandora breathed a sigh of relief. Laughed, "Viska is so good now, not to mention that Spirit should have a natural instinct to maintain the network. Well, let's break up. It looks like ... everyone has been busy recently . "
It's gone, and Sandora and I have nowhere else to hang out. In the end, he went to the research center because he was uneasy. Hilling was undergoing a full-body examination here, and it was Tavel himself who was responsible for the examination.
To be honest, I was quite surprised to see Tavill's ontology appear in front of me, because I deal with her quality projection all the time, I almost forgot that this glasses lady actually has an ontology ...
In the small precision analysis room, Imperial scientists are busy analyzing data that has not been seen before, and the older sister who came before is whispering to Tavel. There is a crystal prism in the center of the analysis room that looks like a mainframe slot, but this prism is not connected to the mainframe base. The spirit was suspended about half a meter high inside the prism. She remained awake, and did not seem to be dissatisfied with her current state, but looked around with curiosity. When she and I appeared, she floated over to say hello: Of course, immediately Bounced back by the crystal wall. Seeing this, Sandora couldn't help but sigh again.
"In other words, I suddenly wanted to understand why Lin Xue's prediction was out of shape," watching Xi Ling curiously hitting the shell of the crystal pillar, I suddenly figured out a thing, and said slowly in Sandora's curious sight, "When Lin Xue was snooping on the identity of the intruder, didn't she say that she saw a large number of faces of the Spirit Apostle flashing, she thought that her ability was out of order-in fact, now, what she saw at that time was the truth. The spirit in front of him ... is really a man who fights for all the spirit apostles ... "
Sandora was speechless for a long time, and then sighed, "Why do you say that the empire spelled out this ..."
"Also," I stretched out my hand. "She hasn't touched the real world since she was born, and it was made up of the nodes of the spiritual network. The consciousness of the Apostles of the Spirit did not affect her."
"Your Majesty, you are here." Tavel hurriedly greeted her assistant with some things. She walked lightly and smiled. This is undoubtedly a good mood. This has a crazy scientist factor. O glasses lady, as long as there is a suitable research goal, she will enter the hyperactive mode, even if she may be the incarnation of the Empire Data Network now ...
"How about, what are you discovering now?" I raised my hand and greeted Hilling, in response to the other side waving his paw towards himself for a long time, the latter was very happy, and then hit the crystal wall again and was bounced back.
"A lot of discoveries, a lot of discoveries," Tavel excitedly turned on the projection device next to him. On the holographic screen, a dense and fast refreshing chart was displayed. "Looking at the refresh rate of this data, each footnote is equivalent to 10,000 An apostle of the Spirit is doing a work at the same time. It's incredible. For the first time, a subordinate saw such a special apostle of the spirit ... the incarnation of the spiritual network? The subordinate thinks she should have a more important role than that. She Can monitor the status of the entire network, and theoretically can improve the working efficiency of all online devices on this network. Through her switching, all our hosts can be formed and networked without loss-instead of the current type Pyramid network that affects efficiency. Her body structure is also amazing, the fact ... she has no fixed body structure at all ~ EbookFREE.me ~ has no fixed body structure? "Sandora repeated in surprise.
Tavel nodded affirmatively: "Yes, her body structure is not fixed. It seems that she can show the current body model of any tribe of the spirit, including completely different structures such as armored scorpion and angel of the spirit, and she can reproduce it. I I think this should be because she is based on the entire spiritual network. Any kind of Apostle of the Spirit can be regarded as her component. She can call on the physical data of all existing Apostles of the Spirit and then use the information entity. Build your body in a personalized way. Uh ... like that. "
Tavel pointed to the prism of crystals not far away, and I saw that Hilling had grown a single-sided wing behind her, and she was beating the unbalanced wings very disturbed-and then hit the crystal again Bounced back on the wall.
"Obviously, she hasn't been able to control these abilities well," Tavel shook her head with a pity, "but it also explains her source of mimicry abilities. She became a race other than the Spirit Apostle. She should It is an extended use of her talent. According to the tributary race data recorded in the empire database, she can become any kind of life she sees. Of course, this is a small trick. Compared with her real potential, it is almost like the universe. A particle of dust-in theory. "
