Blackstone Code

Ten battery-like cans were pushed to the room next to the core server. Looking inside from the outside of the cans, they and ten people were floating in the liquid in a very natural and relaxed way.

Their mouths were connected to special life-support devices to maintain their nutrition and oxygen intake.

At the same time, there was a bundle of thick cables behind their heads, connecting their brain-computer interfaces.

The cans containing these people were pushed to the designated location and connected to the main server of artificial intelligence.

"Next, we need to restart the server. Originally, this plan was scheduled for two weeks!" The chief scientist explained, and then invited Lynch to insert his magnetic card into the slot of the control panel.

Restarting the core server, such a sensitive operation, must be authorized by Lynch. Remote authorization is fine, and swiping the card directly here is fine. In short, Lynch must confirm in any case before restarting the core server.

As Lynch inserted the magnetic card and confirmed the authorization, the server began to restart.

"Many machines outside will not be affected by the restart, right?" The chief scientist shook his head while adjusting the parameters, "The artificial intelligence outside is just a replica, and the artificial intelligence here is the real artificial intelligence." "Starting the core server will not affect the artificial intelligence outside. After it restarts, it will be updated to the server nodes outside through updates, and then the external artificial intelligence will self-replicate through the nodes." "So Mr. Lynch, you don't need to worry that our current operation will cause some factories to malfunction and stagnate." "Please forgive me for not being able to talk to you, it will take some time." "Please..." Lynch watched for a long time, the whole process lasted about twenty minutes, and then restarted. After a few flashes on the large screen in the laboratory, the image of artificial intelligence appeared on the screen. "Good evening, Doctor."

"Good evening, Mr. Lynch."

The chief scientist looked at it and said, "I added new plug-ins for you. See if you can read the specification content of these plug-ins."

"I added a read-write and operation module for you at...position. There is a manual inside. Please adapt to it."

"Okay, Doctor."

The artificial intelligence immediately became busy. Of course, from the screen, it just closed its eyes.

But in fact, it was installing and adapting to those new modules, and began to try to connect ten plug-ins.

For it, these canned people are actually like a...packaged program. It does not need to understand how the program works. It only needs to know how to call these programs.

This kind of thing seems complicated, but it is actually very simple.

It is even simple to the point that it is no different from calling the database to search for content in the past!

Two minutes later, the artificial intelligence on the screen opened its eyes again, and its expression seemed to be more vivid.

Of course, it may also be a psychological effect.

"I have connected all the plug-ins, Doctor, and the return values ​​are all within the plan."

The chief scientist nodded, then looked at Lynch, "We can do a simple experiment."

Lynch motioned for him to continue, and he turned back to the camera and said, "Evaluate Mr. Lynch's outfit today, call the plug-in instead of reading the database."

The next second, the artificial intelligence began to describe Lynch's outfit, "Mr. Lynch must have left in a hurry at night. I noticed that Mr. Lynch did not wear any jewelry, and his collar had slight wrinkles."

"But even if there are some small details that are not handled well, it is undeniable that Mr. Lynch's dress and appearance are very appropriate and decent."

"His clothes can reflect his..."

The artificial intelligence said a lot of things, the chief scientist listened very carefully, and other scientists were constantly recording and analyzing. After it finished, the chief scientist looked at Lynch, "What do you think?"

Lynch thought seriously for a while, "It seems to be flattering me."

The chief scientist nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, it is flattering your horse, because it is calling on the logical thinking ability of those ten humans."

"We ask it questions that require it to think, and it will transmit the questions to those people's brains through functional modules."

"Brain-computers send thinking signals to their brains through simulations, and these thinking processes and results will be returned to the functional modules and re-output to the server."

"Artificial intelligence gets these answers with the most human thinking style to respond, which is its basic process."

"But this also has a fatal flaw, that is, this result is not necessarily accurate and efficient."

"For example, if we ask it a more professional question..."

Scientists have proposed an unresolved mathematical conjecture. In the past, this kind of question would make artificial intelligence jump out directly because it did not have the ability to think.

At the same time, there is no effective way to solve the problem on the Internet. Some answers themselves have no answers, only a small part of the process or conjecture about solving the problem.

In order to avoid program problems and catastrophic consequences, once the computing power of artificial intelligence exceeds a threshold, it will automatically jump out.

But for now, no need to worry about that.

After about a minute, it said helplessly, "I don't know the answer, doctor."

The chief scientist smiled and pursed his lips, "Now there is no need to jump out according to the rules, it will know on its own that this problem cannot be solved."

"But if we replace a few mathematicians as plug-ins, then it is possible to solve this problem!"

"This is where I say the biggest problem with this current approach is that its creative ability depends entirely on the ability of the plug-in."

"If we give it a group of uneducated people as plug-ins, then it can only solve problems that do not require professional knowledge, and there is no guarantee that the answer will be correct."

“If we want it to be obviously helpful in the professional field, we need to provide it with more ‘thinking samples’.”

After listening carefully, Lynch asked, "The School of Life Sciences has a plan. We can technically write data to the brain."

"Is it feasible if we write the memories of some scientists into a blank brain and then use the brain to use it?"

The chief scientist thought for a while, "It may not be feasible. Writing so much data into a blank brain is no different from calling it directly from the database."

"In fact, logical thinking ability and thinking ability are the product of accumulated experience."

"What do you do when you face something? It is not a fixed formula or a fixed data. It is floating and biased."

"But we can try these experiments, and maybe there will be new discoveries and progress."

Lynch nodded, "This is best. If you want it to have stronger logical thinking ability..."

The chief scientist licked his lips, "Then we need more auxiliary tools."

Almost any research requires a large number of people, and the development of science and technology in the entire world seems to be on a strange path.

Lynch then focused on those "batteries," "Are these people going to stay like this?"

The chief scientist nodded, "If we need to maintain the ability of artificial intelligence to think logically and have the ability to think and innovate, then they must always be in this state."

Lynch thought for a moment and asked, "If they don't soak the jar, will it be effective?"

"The soaking in the jar protects them, but it would be just as effective if the liquid was drained out."

"The brain performs ultra-high computing power calculations with the help of modules, which consumes a lot of nutrients. These liquids contain various nutrients needed by the human body, and there are also some drugs that need to take effect."

"It would be possible to remove these, but there could be problems."

After the nutrients are used up, hypoglycemia will occur, and then the organs will malfunction. In the long run, organ failure and even death may occur.

"I have an idea, if we borrow people's logical thinking ability while they are sleeping, can we achieve better results?"

"After all, these are 700 million individuals. Even if each person only takes a small amount, cumulatively, it is an astonishing number."

The chief scientist feels that this idea is possible, but there are also some questions, "How do you convince everyone to connect to the brain-computer interface?"

"That's what I need to care about, and what you need to worry about is whether it's possible to try this, and I'll take care of the rest."

The chief scientist promised to set up a new project team, but currently their main work is still on writing functional modules.

How to make more efficient use of human thinking logic and thinking ability is a very important task.

Fast and effective, more concise and more reasonable logical thinking analysis, this is the right path to truly become powerful!

But even now, it already has capabilities that far exceed those before.

With the help of a huge database and the ability to think independently, today's artificial intelligence can no longer be called artificial intelligence.

It is already a real intelligence. Although this intelligence may sometimes have some logical errors, this is not a problem.

Then Lynch approved the laboratory's application and increased the number of plug-ins, and they were high-quality plug-ins.

Some scientists even volunteered to try out the project.

Because it is not a dangerous project, you just need to maintain a deep sleep, get some sleep, and have a good dream.

If some scientific research problems can be solved as a result, then this kind of sacrifice is necessary.

A scientist cannot solve a project by himself, but when he turns himself into a battery and lets artificial intelligence handle the work with the help of a huge database and his own thinking logic, there is a high probability that he can solve it!

This is great progress!
