Arcane Lord

Southland, Tower of Time.

A few days after returning from Severington, Xia Duo worked overtime to create a total of 62 weapon spirits based on the communication magic weapon. In the initial state, these 62 weapon spirits had relatively complete intelligence.

But precisely because of their complete intelligence, they possess human weaknesses, that is, they are not good at a large number of repetitive or non-repetitive thinking, or "calculation".

Chateau's approach is to select seven more typical thinking patterns in self-awareness as "meta-programs", or "meta-thinking" or "meta-algorithms".

These meta-thinkings that have lost their intelligence do not have the weaknesses of humans and are closer to machines. Above the meta-thinking, there are also "judgment nodes" that have lost their intelligence and are mainly responsible for distributing upper-level commands to the meta-thinking layer.

Above this layer, there is a command layer with certain intelligence, which is responsible for converting the fuzzy commands of the upper layer into specific commands of the next layer, and is also responsible for feeding the results back to Xia Duo.

It is a three-layer network structure in the shape of a pyramid. Because the machine spirit is different from the so-called artificial intelligence on earth that is purely built by algorithms, it is truly intelligent.

Therefore, when the purpose is relatively single and the instructions are not complex, only a smaller number of tool spirits are needed to take charge, and no additional tool spirits are needed.

As for the judgment layer, different nodes are set up based on the number of meta-programs at the lowest level. Xia Duo's first experiment only used two nodes, that is, two deleted weapon spirits.

Meta-programs, according to Xia Duo's speculation, should be able to configure different proportions of meta-programs according to different tasks. It does not necessarily have to use all the seven basic thinking modes initially selected.

You can use seven mode one, or five mode one and five mode two.

He hasn't figured out how to configure it yet. He will only wait to sum up the rules after many tests. Maybe the seven basic thinking modes he originally selected will also change!

It is possible to become more or less, but of course it is more likely to become more. After all, true intelligent thinking can not only be reproduced through a few variables.

Of course, if the number of basic thinking patterns increases, the number of upper-level judgment nodes and even instruction nodes will also change accordingly, and even the relationship between nodes will also undergo qualitative changes.

In the laboratory.

Xia Duo arranged 20 specially modulated communication instruments in three rows. Although the placement did not affect the actual effectiveness, it could at least allow him to see more clearly.

The top row is the command layer, with only one lone crystal ball; the second row is the judgment layer, with two crystal balls.

There are more in the third row, with a total of seventeen, divided into two groups, one group of seven and one group of ten, which are gathered under the corresponding judgment layer nodes.

Next is what Xia Duo thinks is the most troublesome step in the smart brain project——

Using [Suggestion], using his own consciousness as a link, he established information transmission channels for all intelligent brain nodes.

In other words, this so-called "intelligent brain" is actually based on his own consciousness, but uses several other copies of his consciousness as "computing hardware". His own consciousness only serves as a medium for information transmission.

In this way, the calculation (thinking) burden of ontological consciousness is reduced.

The reason why this step is called "the most troublesome" by Xia Duo is that he needs to design a separate information transmission method for each node.

He has only used 20 nodes in the preliminary experiment, so he needs at least 20 suggestion techniques. In the future, if the number of nodes increases, he will have to redesign it.

Grain tawny

Unlike before, creating a weapon spirit was purely a "physical work", now this is a completely mental work. If you are not careful and think carefully, you may end up experimenting countless times without finding the bug.

If that happens, it will be a nightmare. The process of finding bugs is almost as good as tearing down the system and starting over.

This is only a problem that may arise in the design, and if you add in the operation, if the content suggested by the suggestion spell is wrong when casting the spell, and you thought you were right, it will be another nightmare.

Therefore, even though he felt troublesome, Xia Duo had no idea of ​​using a "weapon spirit" with a prosthetic hand. He personally thought about and confirmed all the content that suggested casting spells.

Fortunately, there are only 20 nodes now, and the communication logic between each node is not too complicated. Sha Duo completed all the node communication designs on the fifth day after returning from Severton.

Then comes the process of casting spells. Mental work also includes physical work, similar to typing on the keyboard or touching the mouse on earth.

But Xia Duo didn't care about this.

Including the rest time, almost two hours passed, and the smart brain prototype was officially launched!

…

During the test session, Sha Duo did not play in person, but called Niya.

Niya has been busy alone in the blue crystal plane these days. She knew that Xia Duo was researching an instrument cluster device called "Intelligent Brain", and she was quite surprised when she suddenly received a test invitation.

"Are these communication instruments?"

"Yes." Sha Duo pointed to the communication weapon on the uppermost layer of the three-layer intellectual brain nodes for Niya, and said to Niya, "You take this command node, the weapon spirit has a vague perception of the sound, what do you want to know? Just ask it.”

Niya was doubtful, so she picked up the communication device and asked tentatively, "How is the weather today?"

"..."

Xia Duo was speechless. "Don't ask questions that don't have clear answers. Ask questions that can give exact answers based on existing knowledge, no matter how complicated they are."

What is the weather like today? It seems that there is an answer, but for the weapon spirit based on the communication magic weapon, there is no relevant clues at all. Even if the answer is given, at most it will be based on the past weather conditions in the basic database in the consciousness copy. A speculative result.

In fact, Xia Duo did not create a smart brain for these vague problems. What he wanted was a practical tool that could save him the thinking process.

Next, Niya thought about it seriously and asked: "Spells 1-ΞΩΔΠΞΔΠΣΓΣΓΟΣ, 2-ΨΛΧΞΔΠΧΛΙΠ, 3-ΩΠΛΧΞΔΧΞΣΓΨ, 4-ΠΓΘΛΛΧΞΔ, 5-ΞΔΠΣ, increase two rings in the extreme direction. What's the result?"

Niya hasn't spoken yet, but Sha Duo already knows the answer. It's not that he calculated the result himself, but that he subconsciously obtained the command node data when it was sent back.

However, this result has not been verified in practice, and Xia Duo cannot judge whether it is right or wrong.

Niya, on the other hand, was greatly surprised after receiving the message from the command node, because this spell was a spell that Sha Duo had taught her before to test the secret lock.

There was no need to upgrade the spell itself, but she still tried it, just curious about the effect after the upgrade.
