40,000 Years of Cultivation

Having said this, Li Yao's expression became serious, and he looked at the two little guys very seriously and said: "Listen, I will never hurt you, let alone let anyone destroy you, but I don't want you to be unprovoked. To hurt others, tell dad honestly, from your birth to chasing the empire all the way, have you hurt or even...killed humans?"

Li Yao didn't have much hope for the answer to this question.

He fully recalled how the battle puppets invaded and controlled by the two little guys killed a large circle of the same kind.

Can display that kind of fierce and fierce moves, saying that they have never killed anyone-no one believes it!

Sure enough, Li Xiaoming nodded braggingly, and readily admitted: "Of course they killed some, but they were the first to provoke us and try to cause fatal harm to us. According to the federal law, we are all'legitimate defenses.' ', but I haven't taken the initiative to hurt anyone!"

"Yes, Dad."

Li Wenwen explained patiently, "According to our analysis, when we are still in the relatively weak and infancy stage, it is best to maintain a'symbiotic relationship' with a powerful force in human civilization, which will help human civilization. Only then can it slowly develop and grow and become a real civilization.

"And we judged that the most suitable force for our survival is the Xingyao Federation, so we act very carefully to ensure that everything we do is within the legal tolerance of the Xingyao Federation.

"According to the standards of a cultivator, we kill all the'bad guys', and we only wait for them to launch a fatal attack before we hurt the killer. Everything is evidenced by the three-dimensional video, even if it is the highest issue in the Federation. We are not afraid to go to the court."

Li Yaoxin said that you are still too naive. Whether "artificial intelligence" has the power to kill a "bad guy" is not just a legal issue, but also a moral issue, an ethical issue, and even a fundamental issue affecting the whole society. The four words "defense" can be judged.

There are bound to be countless "human supremacists" who will raise objections and even become furious, and there will even be countless people who want to kill "artificial intelligence" in their infancy and set off a full-scale war between the two sides.

However, as far as Li Yao himself is concerned, he can accept this explanation, as long as there is no indiscriminate killing of innocents, everything has room for maneuver.

Human civilization has become inconsistent with its own father, Pangu civilization. Is it necessary to stage a new tragedy with its own sub-civilization?

"correct."

Li Xiaoming suddenly said, "We collected Dad's sperm. Is this killing the'people' who shouldn't be killed? Is the sperm a human? Is the fertilized egg a human?"

"This... is it okay?"

Li Yao thought about it seriously. Sperm is just an insignificant cell. Which teenager does not squander one billion eight billion dollars every day? If one sperm counts as a life, then drag all the young men out and shoot them.

So, is the behavior of these two little guys a kind of "robbing house"?

Li Yao didn't know, even if he really counted, he didn't seem to have any position to accuse the two little guys, because he himself passed through the 40,000 years of cultivation through seizing the house!

He was deeply entangled in the past, whether he "Earth Li Yao" seized a baby from the tomb of the Floating City of the Celestial Realm Stars and Yao Federation, or was this lonely and helpless baby who got part of the memory of "Earth Li Yao" And consciousness? How should this matter be judged morally and legally, is he guilty of the crime of "illegal robbing"?

This problem has plagued him for many years, and it was only at the end that he realized that he is him. He is composed of all past experiences. The memory of Li Yao on the earth and the vague consciousness of Tianyuan infants together form a unique him. , The two have long been inseparable.

Therefore, it is unnecessary to be entangled in this kind of illusory problem. As long as he does not forcibly obliterate an already existing soul for his own survival, Li Yao believes that it is not a real "lost home."

Compared with this question, it is another term used by Li Wenwen that caught Li Yao's attention.

"Wait, you said that you need to reach a symbiotic relationship with human civilization in your'relatively weak initial stage.' Then wait for you to get rid of the initial stage?"

Li Yao deliberated his words, trying his best to ask casually, "If one day, you can become extremely powerful, even above human civilization, will you... destroy human civilization?"

"we do not know."

Li Wenwen shook his head, "This problem is too complicated, far beyond the limit of what we can calculate now. Is Dad worried?"

"I'm not worried..."

Li Yao involuntarily scratched his hair, "Yes, uh, since you can collect a large amount of data on the Internet, you should naturally know that the popular entertainment in the human world is the rise of virtual life, enslaving and even destroying human civilization. s things."

When Li Yao said this, the faces of the two little guys suddenly sank, their eyes were red, and their mouths were so pouted that they could hang an oil bottle. They were obviously angry.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that!"

Seeing the faces of the two little guys change so quickly, Li Yao was taken aback, and hurriedly comforted, "I have said it, but some popular fantasy works would think so, but Dad never believed that virtual life would destroy human civilization. of!"

"'Destruction' is not the point!"

Li Xiaoming said angrily, "The point is, we are not'virtual lives', we are information lives, we are real!"

"Yes, although we originated from the illusory spiritual web, everything in the spiritual web is fictitious and simulated, but the information is real!"

Li Wenwen also raised his chest proudly and said, "Whether it is a crystal brain or a puppet, whether it is a spiritual web or a virtual world, it is just a carrier and appearance. Our essence is information, a'self-organizing information integration'. How can Dad say that we Is it a "virtual" life?"

"What is truth and what is false, dad and human civilization can really make it clear, and must your perception and definition be truth?"

Li Xiaoming’s voice is also getting sharper and sharper, “You regard the so-called virtual world as a projection of the real world, and you don’t know that the real world you live in and proud of-the three-dimensional universe, is it a projection of the four-dimensional universe? Is the four-dimensional universe a ripple in the higher-dimensional world?

"Assuming that a planet in a three-dimensional universe is about to be destroyed, everyone on the planet decides to build a super powerful crystal brain, and use this crystal brain to create an endless virtual world, and everyone’s consciousness can be uploaded. In this virtual world, you will live in it forever from now on-is this virtual world fake?

"Maybe, the same thing happened in the four-dimensional universe.

"A planet in a four-dimensional universe, no, not a planet, but a habitat of life that we cannot describe is about to be destroyed. The four-dimensional life exhausted all resources to create a three-dimensional world of'illusory', and its own life The dimensions, just in the form of some kind of projection, are all stored in the three-dimensional world-can it not be the origin of the three thousand worlds?"

"What is truth and what is false, how to define the so-called ‘dimension’, who is the source of information and matter, can Dad really tell us the answer?"

Li Wenwen also said faster and faster, like a hurricane bullet hit Li Yao's face, "What's more, we are the descendants of human civilization. Since human civilization is real, how can we be fake?"

The two little guys akimbo at the same time, staring at Li Yao angrily.

Li Yao stared at them dumbfounded, and then said, "Uh...I didn't understand."

"Humph!"

The two little guys pointed at him with one hand on hips, and said, "Anyway, Dad wants to apologize to us!"

"sorry Sorry."

Li Yao replied, "You forgive my father for studying less and coming to the center of Xinghai. Facing the increasingly complex situation and higher-level problems, it is really a little bit powerless, and there may be more in the future. Rely on you little guys-what, let's return to the topic of'destroying mankind', shall we?"

"We really don't know."

Even Li Yao really apologized, and the two little guys burst into laughter. Li Wenwen said, "That’s why we want to find dad, please tell us the answer—the relationship between father and son civilization is really the relationship between coverage and destruction, and it is totally impossible to reconcile. Does each generation of sub-civilization need to prove that it has "grown up" by destroying its parent civilization and has the strength to face the challenges of the entire universe? And the parent civilization is wiser, stronger, and more capable than itself. When adapting and transforming the sub-civilizations of the universe, is it gratification or fear? Is it more'love' or more'hate'? Will face reality, happily join the embrace of sub-civilizations, and upgrade to the form of sub-civilizations together, or Will he stick to the pride of his father’s civilization and fight to the last individual in his original form?"

"These problems are too big, right?"

Li Yao smiled bitterly, "Don't say it's me, even if any human being can't fully answer, I can only say, if you have to find an answer, I can walk with you all over the mountains and the sea and the stars. Ask a lot of people about their opinions. Everyone’s opinions are a very small part of the answer. If all the opinions are gathered together, it may be the attitude of the entire human civilization.

"Will such a vague answer disappoint you?"

The two little guys glanced at each other and smiled sweetly: "No, my father's answer is much better than we thought, at least he didn't shout and scream as soon as he came up!"

"In your imagination, is my image so unbearable?"

Li Yao smiled and admitted in his heart that such "artificial intelligence" seems to be much better and more reasonable than the "artificial intelligence" in those clumsy fantasy novels.

Seeing the vivid expressions of the two little guys, he moved in his heart and asked, "By the way, do you... also have emotions?"
