How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 666 Solid State Brain

The solid-state brain is a technology researched by the collectors, and it can also be understood as a genetic blueprint of a biological organ. The main reason for trying to design this new brain is that the collectors need to upgrade their brains.

For example, even if the physical strength of the collectors can withstand a hard landing from a height of several hundred meters without deceleration, it does not mean that their brains can withstand it... Of course, it is not just about impact resistance, there are other aspects The improvement in various performances is like the comparison between mothership organisms and leap forward organisms. What the collectors want is an epoch-making brain, which surpasses the current organic brain constructed of nerve cells in all aspects.

Therefore, the collectors focused their attention on the computer, and they wanted to combine the advantages of the computer, such as ruggedness and fast data processing, with the organic brain they currently use, which was the original idea of ​​the solid-state brain.

But with regard to the development of solid-state brains, there is an obvious problem that needs to be solved, that is—how can we ensure that after the collectors use this new type of brain, the thinking mode can be guaranteed to be the same as before without being affected?

At first, what the collectors thought was to directly load their thinking into the computer, complete the filling of thinking first, and then consider the optimization of the computer later.

Forcible mind transfer is not feasible, just like the same data, the results interpreted by a binary computer and a ternary computer will be completely different.

Therefore, it is necessary to let the computer 'understand' the collector's thinking, so how to make the computer 'understand' the collector's thinking?

Definition, constantly using various algorithms to define norms, using the rules and regulations of algorithms to outline the thinking of collectors.

However, just like trying to draw a circle on a square with the circle cutting method, the collectors cannot rely on this method to outline a definition that meets the collectors' thinking. The definition can only infinitely approach the collector's thinking, but cannot fully fit .

That is to say, the idea of ​​a pure computer will not work. If you want to develop a solid-state brain that can accommodate the thinking of the collectors, the collectors need to find another way.

Then the collectors focused their thinking on the artificial intelligence life forms.

Find the ready-made life form template, the collectors obtain its structural information, study it, and then make improvements based on this life form template to fit the thinking of the collectors, and thus complete the design of the solid-state brain.

It sounds like this is much simpler than the original definition of thinking about computers, but it is actually quite difficult.

First of all, there must be such an artificial intelligence life form as a template, and secondly, because of the different life forms, the collectors need to deeply analyze the inner life of the life form, whether it is hardware or software.

Before the collectors found the Aldegar Civilization β, their main idea was to use the artificially cultivated artificial intelligence to complete the solid-state brain, and even specially transformed an entire planet as a test site for this purpose, and put a large number of robots on it to fight , try to stimulate the intelligence of these robots through the 'survival desire' written in the bottom layer.

The energy supply on the planet is fixed, and in order to ensure their normal operation, robots must compete with each other.

However, the facts have proved that this method of the collectors is not feasible, until they found the Aldegar civilization β, no artificial intelligence life was born in the planetary test site, none of them gave birth to 'I', they were just pure machines It is operating according to the internal program.

After obtaining the Aldegar Civilization β, the collectors began to analyze its inner structure.

In fact, its internal structure is not complicated, and it is even far behind the computers used by the collectors, so it is not difficult for the collectors to analyze it. The logic chain is composed of four numbers, 0, 1, -1, and the X character representing the imaginary number.

After analyzing the codes one by one, the collectors had a clearer understanding of the inner nature of the Aldegar civilization β.

They began to expand on the basis of the Aldegar Civilization β, and used the Aldegar Civilization β as the experimental object to observe the other party's reaction after each new code was written.

This is not torture caused by any emotion, it's just because only in this way can the collectors get the most authentic data.

After the research was nearing completion, the harvesters began their manufacture of solid brains.

The finished product is a ball about the size of three human fists. Its appearance is pure white, and it looks like a handicraft carved from fine jade, crystal clear.

However, it only looks like a jade product, and the solid brain and jade are not attached to it at all. It is lighter than jade of the same volume, and it is composed of calcium-based cartilage. Each bone cell is a miniature computing unit, which is constructed A small computer, logic gates are realized by input and output of calcium ions.

It is not only a computer, but also a living organ. It has the advantages of a computer and also retains the advantages of an organic brain. The rest is waiting for collectors to settle in it.

The experiment participants are easy to find, and the collectors are very willing to dedicate themselves to the group. After learning about the genetic blueprint, they begin to cocoon. Inside the squirming meat, the brains of the collectors begin to change according to the absorbed substances, and gradually harden and solidify. Then slowly adjust and change the structure of the brain.

When the forager broke out of the cocoon under the expectant gaze of the same race, the foragers first passed through the life field to confirm each other's "loyalty". This is the first step of the test. After confirming that there is no abnormality, they will Let your guard down.

"In two steps, we need to confirm the function of the solid-state brain."

"OK."

Experiment participant responds, striding forward with fangs.

Perhaps it was because they were not used to it, or there were still defects in the solid-state brain that had been designed for the first time and needed to be adjusted. The collectors who participated in the experiment walked slightly trembling, like babies who might fall down at any time.

"Is something wrong?"

The gatherer who saw this situation asked.

"It feels a little weird..."

The collector who participated in the experiment waved his fangs and answered.

"Strange? Where is the blame?"

"I feel that the current body is not my own, an inexplicable strangeness." The experiment participant said.

The information answered by the collectors participating in the experiment is the real-time experimental data, and the collectors talked about it because of the feedback information.

"error?"

"I think should not be……"

"All aspects should be considered..."

Without discussing a reason, the collectors adopted a compromise method.

"Continue to exercise for a while and see, if you still feel strange, then consider adjusting."
