From black technology to super engineering

On the last day of April 2036, the capital was warm and pleasant.

In that world-famous square, Ye Ming, together with the leaders of the digital community, was the visiting group led by the supreme ruler of the Karatu galaxy, Queen Galadriel of the Silver Moon Kingdom, which spanned thousands of light years. A grand welcoming ceremony was held.

Holding a welcome ceremony here basically means that the etiquette is over, and no higher standard of diplomatic etiquette can be found.

The reason why it takes so much trouble is that, on the one hand, the Kerong people are the most powerful and oldest civilization among mankind's current allies. On the other hand, it also means that Queen Galadriel is a real head of "state" and a symbol of civilization.

From this point of view, her positioning and status are clearer than those of Mu Daresi and Uda Reisi who have been to the earth. Although the etiquette to welcome Uda is not so grand and complicated, it must be admitted that Wu The people and things that Da contacted and discussed were not inferior to the queen of Krong, and even better.

...

When the two heads of state shook hands and greeted each other's team members, the queen first quickly shook hands with several bosses standing in front of Ye Ming, and then stood in front of Ye Ming.

"Hello, Your Majesty." Ye Ming lowered his head slightly, and stretched out his hand first.

The queen nodded with a smile, and then reached out to hold Ye Ming - she was wearing a pair of semi-hollow gloves with silver lace today, and it only felt cold and slightly soft to the touch.

"Hello, Teacher Ye Ming."

Galadriel stared at Ye Ming with a smile, with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

She decided to come here this time, on the one hand, because of the invitation of the Human Supreme Council, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Humanity and the Commander-in-Chief of the Human Space Fleet. On the other hand, she also wanted to have a face-to-face chat with Ye Ming, who was blown away by her daughter.

Of course... there is one more thing that cannot be said...

——Since you have chosen to stand with mankind to reshape the order of the universe, you must be vigilant about being completely wiped out by the executors.

Humans have a natural end system to defend against, but the Karatu system doesn't - the Karatu system can even attack from four different jump points.

In case one day, the super galaxy alliance led by humans fails on the front line, then this place will be the last resistance base and shelter of all civilizations.

So she had to come and see.

"Your Majesty." Ye Ming felt that the Queen shook hands with him for a little too long. He took the initiative to let go of his hand, then smiled and said, "I will come to visit Your Majesty's home when I am free."

"Then I will sweep the couch to welcome you." The queen also withdrew her hand, using a human idiom.

...

At the end of the ceremony, the queen was invited to the auditorium. The representatives of the two galaxies and the two civilizations, under the countless cameras and video cameras of human beings, first issued a joint declaration on joining the "Local Super Galaxy Alliance", and then held a routine press conference.

At the meeting, Her Majesty the Queen answered a lot of questions from the reporters, and it can be seen that she has put a lot of effort into the etiquette and procedures of human beings this time, and has even learned some diplomatic rhetoric... …

Then, the Queen had a two-hour separate meeting with the leaders.

During the meeting, Ye Ming did not leave, but rested and waited in the side hall.

Of course, as the chief scientist of mankind... that kind of rest is obviously impossible.

For two hours, although he seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, he was actually analyzing the origin of the intellectual brain of the sacred civilization with Ita, and trying to find the connection between the sacred civilization and Ita.

But his ideas were not approved by Ita.

Ita believes that it is obviously impossible for a "junk" civilization like sacred civilization to give birth to such an awesome digital life like her.

"Now I feel more and more that the so-called Paradise is actually a large-scale consciousness simulation center." Ita spread her teeth and claws in the void, matching her image of the two stinging apes, adding a bit of cuteness: "Grow consciousness, and then continue consciousness , seems to achieve immortality without the body, but in fact loses the creativity and thinking ability represented by life and consciousness itself-this is also your point.”

"Well... I agree with your last sentence."

"...I said, that's your point of view!"

"Haha, although I tend to agree with your guess, but from a rigorous point of view, let's not draw conclusions—in case Paradise is not what you guessed, it is actually a connected high-dimensional space, a high-level world. What about the chaotic space?"

"You mean, a chaotic space made up of consciousness?"

"Well... Mr. Huo Laien worked on a model before. Starting from the origin of consciousness, he put forward the theory of multi-layer consciousness space. He believed that if there is a technology to upload consciousness, then on the system that carries consciousness, There can be another layer of consciousness space, and the system that carries consciousness is just the appearance of thinking..."

Speaking of which, Ye Ming looked at the girl who was frowning and contemplating, and said after a pause, "Can you understand this?"

"Sorry, probably not."

"Well, it's normal for you not to understand, because you don't have a subconscious mind."

"...!"

Ye Ming chuckled: "Let me take this as an example. If we now realize a technology that can upload my current consciousness to a quantum computer, and then continue my consciousness to form the immortality of consciousness."

"You are against it."

"Yes, because I think that it is not me who thinks with machine signals instead of brain signals, and I will also lose my ability to think creatively as a human being and as a creature."

"But! If there is a layer of consciousness above the quantum computer... This layer of consciousness cannot be displayed by the algorithms and simulations of the quantum computer. It is similar to our human subconscious... This is a bit interesting .”

Ita kept spinning in mid-air, indicating that she was thinking rapidly. After a while, she stopped and looked at Ye Ming: "Switch to Paradise, that is, Paradise is actually a simulator. On the simulator, there is real consciousness?"

"Yes." Ye Ming nodded with a smile, and immediately added: "But this is Mr. Huo's idle guess, the kind that can be directly cut off with Newton's flaming laser sword."

"...Is this how Newton's flame laser sword is used?"

"It's for this kind of occasion!"

//Note: Newton's flaming laser sword, like Occam's razor, belongs to the razor theory, which means that any problem that cannot be observed or proved by experiments is not worth talking about, for example, does God exist, does the flying pasta god exist? There are...these problems.

//Re-note: Ultraman exists! I believe in light!

Ita was speechless for a while: "Actually, I think... when we go to the lair of the sacred civilization, there will always be a chance to verify it."

"Then we'll have to wait until then—what if you were created by a sacred civilization?" Ye Ming chuckled: "And maybe it was created by Paradise in another parallel universe or a high-dimensional universe... Then you say, What should I do?"

"Instead of thinking that I have something to do with the sacred civilization, you might as well think that I have something to do with the Tara people—have you forgotten Wisdom Mother?"

Hearing Ita mentioned Wisdom Mother again, Ye Ming was startled for a moment!

He really almost forgot... Ita once said that she and the wise mother of the Tara people have the same origin in a sense!

And this kind of homology on the computer is not as simple as the DNA similarity between species-the homology between species can be completely explained by the environment of the origin of life.

For example, the multiple civilizations known to human beings have very similar adaptability to temperature and air. In essence, this is because the birth of life originated from the similar environment of the habitable zone of the galaxy. In other words, it is the similar planetary environment that gave birth to species with similar adaptability due to convergent evolution.

But AI is different, AI...it is a typical man-made product!

The result of the code may be the same, but how can the structure and standard be the same?

Ye Ming fell into deep thought.

Ita jumped in front of Ye Ming: "I can't possibly be created by the descendants of the Tara people?"

Ye Ming was silent for a few seconds and then slowly shook his head: "You must be from the future, that's fine—but I really don't know why you got involved with the Tara people."

"So... you have to have confidence in human beings. I am definitely not something that can be fiddled with by a parallel import civilization like a sacred civilization-why does it sound a bit awkward to me?"

Ye Ming's eyes flashed, even though his mind was heavy, he was also happy.

At this moment, Ye Ming moved his wrist slightly, and after a glance, he quickly put on the earphones.

After a while, Director Xia's voice came from the earphones.

"Mr. Ye, the queen will come to the side hall to meet with you soon. We have a good chat here. You just need to talk about family affairs, and by the way, strengthen your confidence and belief to the queen—she values ​​your opinion and attitude very much. .”

"receive."

After Ye Ming replied, he stood up, straightened his clothes and walked towards the red carpet.

...

Two minutes later, Ye Ming and the queen were seated separately.

Since it was a side hall and an informal meeting, there were no media reporters and too many staff in the side hall, only the queen and her office director Isrita.

"Mr. Ye Ming, I would like to express my gratitude to Your Excellency on behalf of the Kingdom of Dreyer."

Although the queen was already seated, she stood up when she said this, squatted down slightly towards Ye Ming, and bowed to pay tribute.

Ye Ming also stood up immediately, bowed slightly to the queen, and quickly expressed that he didn't dare to be the queen.

"Aiwen always said in the communication that her teacher is omnipotent and the most intelligent teacher in the entire universe." The queen looked at Ye Ming with an undisguised smile on her lips: "so much so, she now I don’t know which direction to choose.”

"She can choose whatever she likes, interest is the best teacher." Ye Ming answered with a teacher's standard, and then said with a smile: "The main reason is that His Highness is very smart, and she also has a long time to study and think. , to explore the mysteries of the universe, now that she is still young, there is no need to rush to choose the direction of specialization."

"For example, Your Excellency?" the queen said with a smile.

"Cough..." Ye Ming coughed.

Do you think it is better for him to be modest or not?

In order to get the level of the system, he has already reached the ninth level of engineering, which is still short of full, and the theory is on the verge of breaking through the ninth level...

These are the things he studied and thought about day and night.

Or in other words, it came on the hook.

How do other people compare!

The queen smiled slightly. She knew the humble instinct of human beings, so she stopped continuing this topic, and took a sip of tea lightly.

"When we were descending, we took a serious look at the human world." The queen stared at Ye Ming: "At the same time, according to your information and data, it seems that the upper limit of human beings that the earth can accommodate... is far more than that, isn't it?"

"Well, scientifically speaking, it is true." Ye Ming could probably hear the meaning of the Queen's words. Because he also knows that humans have made two promises to every alliance that participated in the rebellion against the Executor Legion.

The first promise is to assist the opponent to resist the Executor Legion at all costs.

The second promise is that if the resistance fails, humanity will provide sanctuary for the Allied civilization.

"But we still lack resources now." Ye Ming calmly followed the queen's topic: "Whether it's war or survival, energy is the most important-at least, in our present This is the case within the technological framework.”

"Then if... what I'm talking about is that if one day, the fleet of the holy civilization completely besieges the super galaxy group... we have no choice but to retreat to the Milky Way."

Her Majesty the Queen stared at Ye Ming and said softly, "What is our last resistance capital?"

"Are you relying on the resources of the Milky Way...or the solar system to fight against the resources of the entire universe?" The queen added softly: "I admire the choices and courage of mankind. This is why we choose to stand with mankind. The main reason for being together."

Ye Ming nodded slightly, but added "it's strange" in his heart.

"But..." the queen continued: "We must also admit that in the end of any war, the competition is actually resources and production capacity—I believe in human production capacity, but what about resources?"

Ye Ming hummed lightly.

After a moment of silence, he laughed: "Your Majesty is right, but there is a premise."

"What premise?"

"The premise is that the technology is equal." Ye Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, can I understand that...you want to hear from me today that human beings have any technology that can Far beyond the sacred civilization, so that human beings can be enemies of the sacred civilization with forces and minions all over the universe with only a small solar system, right?"

Queen Galadriel stared at Ye Ming for a few seconds, and finally laughed slowly.

Ye Ming also laughed.

"I don't know how to describe it to you, but what I can say is... currently the strongest super battleship of mankind can only withstand a shot from the second generation of rice grains of mankind."

"At the same time, we also have third-generation rice grains and fifth-generation warships."

"what is that?"

"Beyond the speed of light and beyond space is the dream of every scientist."
