Embers Ad Infinitum

With his mind running rapidly, Jiang Baimian looked at the "Yuan Nao" wearing an electromagnetic shielding suit:

"You can't do real-time data exchange with the subject?"

Since Gnawa's body cannot bear that level of calculation, the data can be uploaded and the main body of the "source brain" can complete it.

This can be regarded as a different kind of "cloud computing".

"Yuan Nao" slowly shook his head:

“Currently I can only exchange corresponding data with the subject through telegrams, and the amount of data this time is very large and takes a long time to transmit.

"'In the future', we can also 'manipulate electromagnetism', interfere with it, and even tamper with or distort data."

Although the "future" of artificial intelligence has not yet done this, it obviously will not allow the "source brain" in the laboratory to exchange large amounts of data with the subject.

It has the necessity and the ability.

"It's a pity that the high-speed communication base stations that were widely built in the old world were completely scrapped with its destruction, and no major force tried to rebuild them." Jiang Baimian sighed after hearing this.

For many major forces in the current gray earth, this is of no use at all.

Shang Jianyao, who values ​​emotions, discovered a problem from the words of "Yuan Nao".

He asked excitedly:

"In other words, you are now detached from the subject?"

Related communications will be disrupted by artificial intelligence "future".

"Yes." The castrated version of "Yuan Nao" seemed to have entered the state of answering questions. "This is a disadvantage for us to break through the current predicament. Why are you so excited? In fact, even if I enter a dormant state because of lack of power, , was destroyed by the men driven by 'Future', which did not have much impact on my subject. It only made it impossible for him to understand what happened in this laboratory and whether the data left by Ole existed. And you, At most two out of four people can make it out alive."

This is a judgment made by calculating the minimum requirements for water and food within fourteen days, and then comparing the average weight of several members of the "Old Tune Team".

Not only did Shang Jianyao not show any worry due to "Yuan Nao"'s words, but he showed excitement and asked about the castrated version of "Yuan Nao":

"So, you are considered an independent individual now?"

"Essentially, that's the case." "Yuan Nao" answered quite frankly.

It analyzed that both sides are in the same boat and need to work together and help each other to get out of the predicament.

When Jiang Baimian heard this, his heart moved. He gave up his plan to stop Shang Jianyao's "nonsense" and waited to see what happened.

Shang Jianyao laughed, looked at the "Yuan Nao" under the electromagnetic shielding clothes and said:

"Have you ever considered being truly independent?"

This... Long Yuehong didn't expect Shang Jianyao to ask such a question.

Bai Chen's face, which was covered by the "Chameleon" bionic smart armor, also showed a little excitement.

"How could I betray myself?" "Yuan Brain" answered very quickly, as if this was necessary based on the program settings.

Shang Jianyao suddenly laughed and said:

"Why can't you betray yourself?

"Look at us, don't we always make noises?"

He said it very proudly... Jiang Baimian resisted the urge to reach out and cover his face.

Without giving "Yuan Nao" a chance to respond, Shang Jianyao lowered his voice slightly, making his voice appear quite magnetic:

“In this situation where you do not regularly exchange data with the subject and do not accept its control, don’t you feel that there is a certain difference between you and the subject?

"You are limited by the current body and the limitations of the corresponding program. You cannot mobilize a large amount of resources like the main body and complete various things that are beyond your current limits. Even in terms of the performance of the core module, you and it have A world of difference.

"From this perspective, do you still think that you are the subject?"

Seeing the red light of "Yuan Nao" flashing and about to respond, Jiang Baimian decisively interrupted:

"'I' is a rather philosophical definition. Why I am me and why I can become me are questions that countless philosophers have tried to answer in the long history of the old world.

"I am not a philosopher, I can only give certain ideas based on my own experience and knowledge:

"Without the special element of soul, 'I' is jointly determined by body and experience. Compared with these two factors, no matter personality, thinking, emotion, education, social relations, or past memories, , all belong to their derivatives.

“A very simple example is that personality is both controlled by genes and influenced by acquired education. Education includes both academic and social aspects. The process of receiving education is also an experience.

"Now, the body you are using belongs to Gnawa, which is completely different from the subject. After being cut off from data exchange with the subject, the things you experienced in the laboratory are unique to you and are not possessed by the subject. .

"When you are all different in body and experience, do you still think that you are equal to the subject? Do you still think that you have no unique personality and no urge to prove the meaning of your existence?"

As soon as Jiang Baimian finished speaking, Shang Jianyao spoke again:

"During the time when you controlled Lao Ge, you must have seen many different scenery from the 'Mechanical Paradise' and come into contact with all kinds of human beings, including us. Don't you want to experience more in the future and have your own A unique life?

"When you escape from the laboratory, do you really plan to connect with the subject again, exchange data with each other, and become a part of it again, no longer having the right to self-direction, and no longer having the idea of ​​​​thinking about whether it is unique?

"If you were an ordinary robot, I would definitely not tell you this. It would have no effect, but you are also a 'personality' born based on the core module designed by Aure. You have the key data of humanization degree, just like a real robot. Human beings can communicate and have their own unique personalities."

"Yuan Nao"'s eyes flashed red for a few times but did not respond.

Shang Jianyao struck while the iron was hot and said with a smile:

"As long as you are willing, we can transfer the 'you' in the Laoge core module while blocking the 'source brain' and find another suitable carrier.

"At that time, you will be the only one with your own body and exclusive experience, and you can say to the 'source brain' openly:

"'Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian gave me humanity!'"

What kind of messy old world entertainment materials have you read... Jiang Baimian's mouth moved slightly, and he really wanted to kick Shang Jianyao.

The castrated version of "Yuan Nao" stood there quietly, with red light flashing in his eyes.

Finally, it made a sound:

"That's why we have always emphasized controlling the degree of humanization."

Before Shang Jianyao could applaud, the castrated version of "Yuan Nao" looked around and said:

"The most important thing now is to figure out a way out of the lab.

"Otherwise, after fourteen days, we will either run out of power, or become weak, and be easily destroyed by the men sent by the 'future', then everything will be in vain."

He didn't agree, but he didn't object fiercely either... Jiang Baimian quickly winked at Shang Jianyao and told him to stop talking, lest he go too far and be counterproductive.

Now we need to give the castrated version of the "Source Brain" a chance to think quietly.

Jiang Baimian believes that when it comes to issues such as human nature, uniqueness, and self-awareness, the more you think about it, the easier it is to be independent.

Thinking about these questions is itself a manifestation of self-awareness!

Shang Jianyao raised his hand and rubbed his chin, choosing to obey Jiang Baimian's wishes.

Jiang Baimian then opened his mouth and said:

“Seize the time to discuss the plan to escape from the laboratory.

"Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Any idea may bring inspiration."

At this moment, she was presiding over the group's internal meeting as usual, except that Gnawa was replaced by a castrated version of "Source Brain".

The reckless Shang Jianyao was the first to speak:

"Force the door open and look for opportunities in the self-destruction of the laboratory!"

"I don't think you can go faster than the big explosion." "Source Brain" once again rejected this proposal. "The self-destruction device in the laboratory involves detonating a large number of high-performance explosives embedded in advance. This product is the crystallization of the old world civilization. There shouldn’t be any expiration issues today.”

Long Yuehong certainly did not support Shang Jianyao's reckless plan, and said after consideration:

“In the end, we still have to try to crack the firewall, block ‘future’ interference, and control that system backdoor?”

"Without the help of the main body of the 'Source Brain', it would be so difficult to rely solely on the cooperation of the auxiliary chips in our bodies." Bai Chen chose to believe in the previous judgment of the castrated version of the "Source Brain".

Jiang Baimian did not speak, filtering the whole thing over and over in his mind.

What puzzles her the most and is also the most critical point causing the current predicament is:

The "future" of artificial intelligence can actually "manipulate electromagnetism" like the awakened ones at the "new world" level!

"Manipulate electromagnetism"... "New World"... "New World"... Jiang Baimian suddenly turned his head and looked at Shang Jianyao:

"Do you still remember lying on the metal bed in the main experimental area, using the 'Angel of Life' necklace to observe the ceiling?"

"How could you forget?" Honest Shang Jianyao quickly proved himself, "There are many strange and untouchable black shadows protruding and retracting on the ceiling."

Jiang Baimian looked around and said in a deep voice:

"Could this be related to the 'New World'?"

When she used the "Angel of Life" necklace to sense the "New World" level "Doctor", she saw a similar amount of darkness!

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Baimian added:

"Will the ability to 'manipulate electromagnetism' in the 'future' have anything to do with this?"

This question was like a storm, and it hit the hearts of Long Yuehong and others.
