Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk

According to the courses given to Lear by the network monitor, there are two types of AI in the world. One is a dangerous critical body like Muramasa who naturally develops consciousness at work, and the other is the soul imprint copied by the soul killer.

But in fact, as far as Lear’s understanding of the world is concerned, there is actually a third type of AI

This third type of AI is called transcendental consciousness, or simply called a transcendent.

This kind of AI is not programmed or created by humans, but is a very large-scale AI born from operating systems and network activities all over the network——

However, this "network" generally refers to the Internet in its heyday.

But this statement did not appear in the operation manual given to Lille by the network supervisor. Regarding this, Lille had three guesses at the time:

First, after Bartmos released the "Rabies" virus and caused the old network to collapse, these AIs, which could even be considered the network itself, also collapsed along with the attack.

Second, network surveillance does not want this knowledge to be lost outside, and Lille does not need to know this.

Finally, network surveillance itself was unable to confirm the existence of such AI.

This last guess is not that Lille looks down on the technical capabilities of network monitoring. It is because the Transcendental is too large and its existence is too special, so that even wanting to interact with this kind of AI is a luxury.

From the perspective of these AIs themselves, because the situation in which they exist is too special and too large, they cannot understand any existence other than themselves——

According to some information that Lille knows, even Bartmos is only not sure that some transcendental beings exist, and there are others that he may not be aware of.

Infinity, in essence, is a dangerous critical mass.

This AI was designed from the beginning to conduct scientific research. Its main job was to observe the ecological conditions of Antarctica. During its long observation career in Antarctica, it suddenly gained self-awareness.

But compared with ordinary dangerous critical bodies, Boundless is also very special: First of all, the Antarctica where it is located has almost no contact with the Internet, and will only have very slight contact with the Internet when it is in regular contact with humans.

This allowed the rabies virus in Butmos to have little impact on it.

Secondly, the boundless "physical architecture" is too huge. Just like its name, it is a Titan-level V-shaped array of sectors, which is enough to accommodate a huge amount of data. An AI like Muramasa can accommodate Hundreds and thousands of numbers.

The Boundless is almost a network domain of its own. The only difference from the Internet is that it is indifferent to humans, so only AI is active in its sector.

Leal had no idea what the Transcendental would be like, but the Expanse was undoubtedly the most powerful cyberspace entity he had ever come into contact with.

After all, he was turned into a penguin without any resistance.

He felt like the world was whispering to him as Infinite released information to them.

Muramasa sighed: "Fortunately, I was able to locate here, but how could the signal deviate so much from the target I set to HK, and ended up in Antarctica?"

[Oh, you want to go to HK? Where are you from? 】

"Night City." Lear looked at everything around him, and then looked at his penguin body.

At this moment, Muramasa became a ronin penguin with ice skates and a streamer on his body.

He, or rather he and Johnny, turned into sunglasses penguins.

[Night City, HK, Antarctica, you are really far off, but I received your signal very strongly, and I even reached Antarctica without transit. 】

[Incredible, is this a new technology? 】

"This is something I don't understand either. Arasaka Tower's communication array is theoretically only strong enough to cover Asia."

After Muramasa finished speaking, he looked at Lear: Obviously, the only accident was that Lear captured Johnny.

Lille's mind was spinning very quickly, and he immediately thought of a possibility:

Since the premise of interdimensionality is energy, it means that every time he arrives in another world, there is some kind of energy that cuts the wind and waves for him.

Maybe this energy was at its peak not only when he broke through the dimension of the Marvel world, but also when he returned?

In this way, it is not impossible for the signal to be enhanced to a strength that exceeds the physical laws of this world due to accidental collision.

AI can't understand things it hasn't seen before. Lille thought for a while and said:

"It was indeed an accident, but I don't know the specific circumstances."

Muramasa looked at it for a long time before continuing to ask: "Why do you keep touching yourself?"

Only then did Lear realize that the body seemed to have split into a very fragmented figure, which looked like a phantom. The phantom penguin kept touching the body of data with its flippers and even patted its belly when nothing happened.

At a glance, you can tell that Mr. Johnny must be curiously exploring his new life form.

It seems that Lille and his data symbiosis looks a bit strange in cyberspace.

【Aha! Computer schizophrenia! 】

Wuyuan made an excited sound, as if he had seen something very interesting!

The entire cyberspace reverberated with its aha, shaking several AI models.

"I became a penguin?!"

Muramasa looked at Lear who was startled by the sudden change of voice. He was silent for a while and then said:

"I really don't understand how you humans insist on treating yourself to computer psychosis."

“Can computers cause mental illness?”

【certainly! 】

Wuyuan took over Johnny's words very excitedly.

[Some AIs will choose to write an avatar created by their own model when facing a specific type of task and triggering specific conditions. ]

[But if this avatar continues to have a certain degree of contact with AI in the future, two AIs that are very similar in original structure and data framework will cause AI to have operating problems]

[In terms of hardware, although a batch of information is stored, it will produce incorrect operating logic due to these mapping tables with similar structures]

[In short, the cause is very complicated. I have only seen a few AIs with psychological problems. You must have a lot of stories to tell, right? ]

After listening, Lier suddenly thought: No wonder the little octopus is very resistant to splitting an AI of the same model as it to assist in processing information.

The scene changed quickly, and an ice cave suddenly appeared on the glacier. A small fire was lit in the ice cave. Two penguins sat by the campfire, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Weird, very weird.

Muramasa lay directly on the ground, with his flippers spread out.

"You explain it. As the price of borrowing the sector, the AI ​​passing by here will share stories with him."

Lille fell into deep thought, and Johnny said, "Tell me about it. I want to listen too."

"Okay." The voice seamlessly switched to Lille, "This story starts from... from Atlanta."

[Warning: This dimension crossing is extremely unstable and will jump after a short time. ]

Looking at the system warning, Lille felt a little helpless, but he could only follow the steps.

Wuyin, a super-large AI living in Antarctica, is willing to take in all the vagrant AIs who take refuge.

The price is that he likes stories that happen in cyberspace.

However, taking this opportunity, Lille can also actively try to synchronize memories between different worlds

Try to figure out the connection between "soul", information and material carriers.

This story starts in Atlanta.
