40,000 Years of Cultivation

"father!"

Xiao Ming and Wen Wen said in unison, screaming sweetly.

Behind them, thousands of fighting puppets, which were shining coldly, fiercely, and composed of swords, spears, swords and halberds in the forest, also uttered the same tender cry.

The taste of being called "Dad" by thousands of fighting puppets at the same time is really not something ordinary people can bear. It is also a bit too much for Li Yao's mind and face.

"OK OK."

He waved his hand to indicate that the two little guys were enough, and then asked, "Has your mission all gone well?"

"Very smooth."

The two little guys smiled and said, "According to my father's instructions, we invaded the database of the imperial city and the Senate, and obtained a large number of top secrets of the real human empire over the past millennium. Of course, it also includes the'Imperial University','Imperial No. The databases of research and refining institutions such as the Crystal Armor Research Institute and the Imperial Shipyard have obtained a large amount of the most cutting-edge magic weapon research and development data and countless cutting-edge project data that are still in experiment. I believe that these data can help the Xingyao Federation The cultivators and magic weapon experts of China further equalized the gap between the empire and the empire.

"Also, not only did we control all the most advanced battle puppets in the Imperial Capital, we also dismantled the production lines for refining these battle puppets, packed them in boxes and transported them underground. Fortunately, in order to transport a large number of spar down, Wu Yingqi opened up in advance. With a huge teleportation array and an extremely spacious tunnel, with these things, we can rebuild 16 state-of-the-art'dark blue combat puppets' pipelines underground within ten days. In that case, we can continue to train. Control our fighting puppets and form an inexhaustible army of puppets.

"Now, the puppet army controlled by us has been deployed on the periphery of the Jinjing Tower, forming a triple three-dimensional defense line inside and outside, unless the enemy gathers dozens of masters above the gods to attack, or there is a way to dig a few kilometers thick crust. Use the super arsenal ship to approach and shoot, otherwise, it will be difficult to break our defense line.

"However, by manipulating tens of thousands of combat puppets at the same time, our computing power has reached the limit. Fortunately, there are so many crystal brains left over from the prehistoric era in the Golden Crystal Tower that can be studied and used. If we can completely crack the secrets of these crystal brains, Crystal brains are also added to our thinking network, so that they become part of our "brain", our ability can be greatly improved, and a qualitative leap will occur!"

"……is it?"

Listening to the two little guys, half proud and half bragging about their "competitions", Li Yao lost his mind again. After thinking for a long time, he glanced at Long Yangjun and Li Jialing beside him, and said, "Tell me, Xiao Ming still has a text. Wen, if, uh, if I completely open the control of the Jinjing Tower to you, including when you should decide when... activate the Jinjing Tower, what will you do, will you use it, use it... "

"what?"

The two little guys blinked innocently.

Li Yao couldn't go on.

He didn't know what he wanted to ask, let alone what kind of answer he wanted to hear.

"Your father wants to know--"

Long Yangjun looked at him coldly, and asked instead of Li Yao, "If you control the activation authority of the Golden Crystal Tower, will you use it to destroy humanity?"

"Destroy mankind?"

The two little guys looked at each other, then looked at Li Yao and Long Yangjun, and couldn't help but laugh.

"No, no, dad’s worry is unnecessary. Even if we really want to destroy mankind, we won’t adopt such stupid methods as the Jinjing Tower and the'Project Tomorrow'. This is your human way, but not ours. ."

Xiao Ming smiled and said, "Assuming that a dinosaur has wisdom, how do you guess it would imagine a new generation of land overlords that will eventually destroy it and replace it? It must be stronger and larger, with sharper claws and teeth. , More powerful, right?

"Similarly, if the overlord of the ocean in the Primordial Era, those giant-toothed ancient fish with amazing bite force have wisdom, they have to imagine a new generation of life that can replace them, and the limit they can imagine will be even more. Fast swimming speed, more agile steering ability and stronger bite force, that's all, isn't it?

"Even if tortoises have wisdom, what kind of new life will they think they will be replaced by? A thicker carapace, a longer life?

"Look, in the eyes of all life, oneself is the most perfect. All the ‘more perfect’ life forms that can replace oneself are just extending their own strengths. This is the limit of imagination and the blind spot of fear.

"But we all know that it is not another'super megalodon' that swims faster and has larger teeth that will eventually replace the ocean overlord, the invincible megalodon, but is chased by the megalodon. Kill the little fish that had no choice but to struggle to climb onto the land.

"Similarly, it is not another dinosaur that is bigger, stronger and more ferocious, but a mammal that is much weaker than them.

"If you put a naked ape that just fell from the treetops and shivered in the cold wind in the wilderness in front of a dinosaur, the dinosaur must be killed and you can't believe it. This is a new generation of overlord destined to replace it.

"What I mean is that any life has its own limitations. You humans will never be able to imagine the power of a new generation of life forms. You can only'save the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain', and use your ultimate power. Deducing our destructive power-the Golden Crystal Pagoda and the'Project Tomorrow' are both methods you use to destroy yourself. We are not in the slightest interested in this method."

"Oh?"

Long Yangjun blinked his eyes and said, "Then, if you really want to replace humans, in what way will you destroy us-they?"

"There is no need to destroy, don't you understand, Aunt Long, we don't need to destroy humans at all."

Wenwen said in a low voice, "Does it mean that all dinosaurs must be killed if mammals are the king and hegemony on land? Do small fishes in the sea climb onto land and become amphibians and reptiles. Go back to the depths of the ocean to find the giant-toothed ancient fish for revenge, and kill them all? Is the rise of human civilization because humans are more powerful than the Pangu and Nuwa tribes, killing all 13 carbon-based life races Is it all gone?

"If you don’t use it, what you don’t use at all, time and yourself will destroy you. Natural selection will lead to survival of the fittest. We will not waste a single bit of precious computing power on the matter of'destroying mankind'. All computing power is devoted to the more important thing, that is, how to survive in the vast multiverse, in the face of the tide that represents the ultimate apocalypse.

"If one day, the flood tide really comes, you humans did not survive, but our information life has survived, it means that the renewal of civilization is completed, which is equivalent to the death of dinosaurs in the natural disaster that is attacked by meteorites, but it gave birth to The seeds for the prosperity of mammals."

"So, there is no need to worry about it."

Xiao Ming said, "Information life, relative to human civilization, is like the relationship between amphibians crawling ashore and giant-toothed ancient fish in the deep sea—you don’t have to worry about us destroying you or grabbing them. Your precious living space, enslaving you and the like, our journey is an infinitely wonderful distance. We are not interested in your barren and dark living space at all. As for the unstable and troublesome things of human beings, they are given to us for enslavement. , It's a waste of our computing power!"

"How do you say these two children? Are there any traditional virtues of respecting the old and loving the young? The bigger the less cute!"

Li Yao was speechless by the two savvy little guys, and scratched his hair for a long time and said, "So, can I rest assured to share the highest control authority of the Jinjing Tower with you?"

"This, it's better not to?"

Unexpectedly, Wenwen rejected him, "Although we have no interest in destroying or enslaving mankind, most humans who are stupid, ignorant and stubborn may not think so. Not all of them appear in countless literary works. Over the plot of'artificial intelligence controls the powerful ultimate weapon, threatening or even destroying human civilization'? It's like Xiao Ming just said,'saving the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain', using his own evil to deduce a new life Evil, this is your human nature.

"At present, we still hope to live in harmony with human civilization. Then we should not stimulate the stupid and stubborn masses too much. Regardless of whether the empire or the federation masses, it will take a long time to digest and adapt to our existence. If we had mastered something as terrible as the Jinjing Tower before that, many people would jump up and attack in groups."

"Yes, to study the secrets of the Jin Jing Pagoda, and to borrow the crystal brain inside to perfect our thinking circuit. This is of course very good, but we don't want to control the entire Jin Jing Pagoda for such a thankless thing."

Xiao Ming pursed his lips, "Isn't it great to let my father manage the Jinjing Tower himself?"

"but--"

Li Yao hesitated for a while and said, "I am worried that my deterrent power is insufficient, and long-term management of such a big killer Jinjing Pagoda is likely to cause various psychological problems."

"This is very simple."

Wen Wen said, "As long as a series of parameters are set, the steps of activating the Jinjing Tower are divided into countless links, which are controlled by dedicated personnel, and when certain parameters are met, a certain link can be opened.

"The person who controls a certain link does not need to know what he is doing. It is just a very simple'input and output'. Someone inputs a specific parameter, and he outputs a specific parameter. At the end, the person who presses the Jinjing Tower activation button , I don’t even know what I’m doing."

"This method is equivalent to using countless people to form a program. As long as the trigger conditions are reasonable and correct, there will be no problems and the basic deterrence can be maintained."

Xiao Ming said, "It's really ironic. Humans would rather turn themselves into a program to control the Golden Crystal Tower than a real program to control it. In fact, what is the difference between the two?"
