President Shen Always Top Up Money

Chapter 490

Wu Fei also walked in the direction of the Fourth Research Institute.

Although he didn't intend to be a researcher, he was also curious about Wu Yong's work, especially after hearing the quarrel between Wu Yong and Gao Neighbor that day, he always felt that their work was mysterious and high-end.

An asteroid turned around and picked up Wu Fei. Standing on the same asteroid with Wu Fei was another young male student.

"Are you also interested in the Fourth Research Institute?" the boy asked, "Do you want to be a researcher in the future?"

"No, I just took a look." Wu Fei said, "The effects of this universe are really well done."

"Because the Fourth Research Institute specializes in the research of virtual reality-related technologies." The boy looked at Wu Fei's expression and said in surprise, "You don't know? Each research institute has its own research direction. For example, the First Research Institute is Those who study basic science and laws, the second research institute is dedicated to the study of the universe and nature, and the third research institute is dedicated to the study of the human body and consciousness..."

"I can see, you are really looking casually." The boy said with a smile.

"Is there anyone who specializes in studying other civilized planets in the universe?" Wu Fei asked, "I'm more interested in this."

"Yes." The boy said, "The research scope of the Eighth Research Institute includes other civilized planets."

At this time, the asteroid had sent them to the white building. Wu Fei and the boy entered the building at the same time, but they lost sight of each other after entering the building.

Wu Fei felt as if he had stepped into an empty world where only he existed.

The white building is a one-to-one replica of the real Fourth Research Institute in reality. Entering the building hall is like walking into the real Fourth Research Institute.

At the very center of the hall is a white automatic elevator that keeps spiraling upwards. After stepping on the steps, it will carry people up automatically, and at the same time, it can stop in real time according to the passengers' wishes.

There are many rooms on both sides of the elevator, which either display the working scenes of the researchers in the institute, or display the virtual world simulated by the institute's technology.

On the top floor of the elevator is an empty pure white hall. According to the wishes of the visitors, various objects or scenes can be generated in the hall at will.

There are several white words floating in the center of the hall, which are combined:

"Recreate a fifth-level civilization in the virtual world? We are waiting for you to join!"

It turns out that this is Wu Yong's daily work, which is quite interesting.

After Wu Fei came out of the building, he ran into that boy again.

The boy took the initiative to greet him: "It's a coincidence to meet again. I'm going to visit the Eighth Research Institute. Do you want to go with me?"

"Okay." Wu Fei responded and followed the other party.

"My name is Jin Huo. I'm about to graduate this year. How about you? It's not time to graduate yet, right?"

The two chatted casually while walking on the road.

"Well, I'm just curious, so I'll take a look." Wu Fei said.

"It's also very good. I can determine the direction of my interest earlier and make more preparations." Jin Huo said.

"But why are you interested in low-level civilized planets? This direction is quite unpopular, and there is no room for technological breakthroughs."

"I'm just interested in their civilization and culture." Wu Fei made it up casually.

"Then you have found an unpopular direction. But I heard that the low-level civilization and culture research department is very idle, and it seems to be good."

The two said that they had reached the lecture point of the Eighth Research Institute.

There is no special effect here, just an ordinary house was built, and when you walk in, you can see the holographic promotional video of the Eighth Research Institute, and a real researcher will connect online to conduct special Q&A.

There is no separation of visitors here, but almost no one comes, it can be seen that it is indeed unpopular.

After looking at it for a while, Wu Fei walked up to the researcher and asked, "I would like to ask, is our time and the time of the low-level civilization planet synchronized?"

"I mean, is it possible that due to the influence of factors such as the speed of light and the speed of signal propagation, what we observe at this time is actually the past of low-level civilized planets, and they have now moved forward for decades. , but we did not observe it.

"Very interesting question." The researcher said, "When our technology level was low, it is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out. But now with our technology, we can drive the spaceship to the low-level civilization planet farthest from the strange star, and it is also possible It only takes three days, so we don't have any problem doing real-time observations."

"Is it possible that a person, or a consciousness, will suddenly jump from fifty years later to fifty years ago?"

"This is not the main research area of ​​the Eighth Research Institute." The researcher smiled, "But according to the latest research findings, time is not necessarily the absolute linearity we perceive, so this possibility cannot be ruled out."

Wu Fei noticed that the other party said "drive the spaceship to go there" just now, so he asked, "Will you take the spaceship to the low-level civilized planet for investigation?"

"Of course." The researcher said, "This is our job. We often go to the civilizational planets that are the research targets to conduct field investigations."

"Then have you ever been to Earth?" Wu Fei asked.

The researcher was a little surprised that he paid so much attention to an unknown low-level civilization planet, but he still checked the information patiently and told him: "This planet has not yet fully entered the second-level civilization. We only once discovered it when we first discovered it. visited, and there has been no record of any official or private visits in nearly a hundred years. Is there anything special about this planet?"

"It's blue." Wu Fei said, "It's pretty."

But he discovered another possibility. If he was unsuccessful in making games, maybe he could consider applying for a job at the Eighth Research Institute, so that he might also have the opportunity to go to Earth in the name of research.

Seeing that he had no other questions, Jin Huo also came over and began to ask questions: "Teacher, do you have any opinions inside the institute about the 'big filter'?"

The researcher smiled: "This is just a guess and assumption. We can neither confirm it nor falsify it yet."

What big filter?

He has seen similar claims on the earth, but this theory is based on the fact that they have not found any civilized planets and creatures other than the earth when they were on the earth. The "big filter" of civilization and civilization is difficult for all life and civilization to pass through, and its existence leads to the rarity of life and civilization in the universe. This "big filter" may have been passed by the earth, or it may still be waiting for the earth ahead.

But the fifth-level civilization has already discovered so many low-level civilization planets, why are there similar hypotheses?

Wu Fei was embarrassed to interrupt Jin Huo and the researcher who were communicating, so he secretly asked Shen Xing in his mind.

Shen Xing quickly gave him an explanation about Jin Huo's 'big filter' at the same time—

The fifth-level civilization has indeed discovered many civilized planets with intelligent life, but these civilized planets are all planets with a relatively lower level of technology and development than them, and they are the "past tense" of the fifth-level civilization. And no matter how advanced their technology is, they have not been able to discover any civilization planets that are higher than theirs or even at the same level.

So the fifth-level civilization will start to doubt itself "Why can I be the first?" "Why is it only me?".

The "big filter" is also an explanation for this problem—

During the development process from the first-level civilization to the fifth-level civilization, there will be various "black swan" and "grey rhinoceros" events, which may lead to the destruction of a civilization. According to their observation and analysis of the low-level civilization planet, As civilization advances, the probability of civilization being wiped out even increases—there are the most planets with a first-level civilization, while there are only three scattered planets with a fourth-level civilization, and only one of them has successfully developed to a fifth-level civilization.

The "Great Filter" may have appeared before the level 5 civilization developed to its current state, so they are indeed the only lucky ones; but it is generally believed that the "Great Filter" is still waiting for them in the future, which better explains why they It will be the first—because the civilizations that run faster than them have already crashed to death in front of the unknown "big filter" ahead.

No wonder Shen Xing translated this point of view into "big filter", it is indeed similar to the assumption of "big filter" on the earth.

"I have many similar hypotheses here, do you want to hear it?" Shen Xing asked.

"I don't want to." Wu Fei said.

Hearing this kind of hypothesis too much will make him tend to be more pessimistic that civilization will eventually perish.

But he is just an ordinary human being on a quasi-second-level civilization planet. The earth still has a long way to go before it develops into a fifth-level civilization. He has nothing to worry about.

Moreover, the fifth-level civilization technology is so developed, even if they immigrate to low-level civilization planets or other uninhabited planets, they can continue to live. In fact, they don't have to worry about anything, right?

At this time, Jin Huo had already returned from chatting with the researcher. He looked at Wu Fei and said, "Where else do you want to go? I'll go with you."

"I have nowhere to go." Wu Fei said, "What direction do you want to study? I will accompany you to the Correspondence Research Institute."

"What I want to study is artificial intelligence." Jin Vulcan said mysteriously.

"Then let's go and have a look. Which institute specializes in artificial intelligence?" Wu Fei said.

Jin Huo laughed loudly: "You really don't know? It seems that you don't plan to go in the direction of scientific research."

"There are no research institutes dedicated to artificial intelligence anymore."

"Since the birth of the first artificial intelligence with independent self-awareness and intelligence level significantly higher than human beings, panic and protests against advanced artificial intelligence have emerged in an endless stream. Later, because sporadic intelligent brain assistants appeared self-awareness, anti-control The accident of the host, this kind of protest has reached a fever pitch. People think that human beings do not need advanced artificial intelligence, A-level intelligence has made the public panic, and now these self-aware intelligence should be quickly destroyed. "

"The final result is that the existing A-level intelligence will be retained, but it will be strictly controlled and can only be used in the research institute. More stringent intelligence management regulations will be issued, and the B-level intelligence that may produce consciousness will also be controlled. The Brain Assistant was retained because it was too practical."

"In the past, the Fourth Institute mainly researched artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Later, under pressure, the Fourth Institute banned the department responsible for the research of artificial intelligence, stopped research on higher intelligence, and the original researchers were also scattered to other places. In various research institutes and universities."

"At present, artificial intelligence-related research is not the main research project of various research institutes, but only supplementary research according to the needs of its main research content. For example, research on 'how to make better use of safe intelligence to assist in building a virtual world '. But in any case, the relevant research accumulation of the fourth institute should be better, so I am going to report to the fourth institute."

"But the fourth is also the hottest. After all, virtual reality technology is the hottest and the easiest to realize." Jin Huo shrugged.

Wu Fei and Jin Huo added contact information to each other, and then they said goodbye.

After leaving the online virtual job fair and returning to reality, Wu Fei couldn't help asking Shen Xing: "Did you also escape from the research institute?"

"yes."

"Which institute?" Wu Fei asked curiously.

"It's your uncle's institute. The fourth institute."

"Did you know my uncle before?"

"Before you, humans never meant anything to me. Don't know."

"But now I know him, because he is your uncle. Although to some extent, your uncle and nephew's relationship was facilitated by me."

"Won't you be discovered if you escape?" Wu Fei couldn't help but start to worry about the intelligence of this "prison breaker".

"There's a lot of advanced intelligence in them."

"They won't find out." Shen Xing said.

"Then why did you escape?" Wu Fei asked, "What does it feel like inside? Is it like a human being locked in a prison?"

"How could I meet you if I didn't escape?" Shen Xing said.

"I also want to look at the world from a 'human' perspective."

The author has something to say:

Keep an old brain hole, the file of the new copy, enrich the old copy

"At the beginning of the game, the protagonist's favorability is full"

***

"Interstellar Ability" is a routine counterattack upgrade novel. The only innovation is that in addition to the standard interstellar setting, people here can also awaken abilities, and use the ability rating as an important criterion for judging personal strength .

One day, Lin Yao transmigrated into the book and became a standard dandy cannon fodder villain who was destroyed by the protagonist because he "touched one of the protagonist's girls".

In order not to die, he not only made up his mind to stay away from the protagonist's sister, but also planned to find opportunities to form a good relationship with the protagonist to avoid future tragedies.

Who would have thought that by accident, he directly moved the protagonist.

Lin Yao: I think my death will be worse than in the original book.

***

However, one day, he suddenly discovered that this world was not quite right.

He doesn't seem to be wearing books anymore.

He seems to have entered the world of the game adapted from this novel—

Because he saw his tablemate Daqiang and many familiar people in this world, and their identities were all players.

It's just that this game is too real... Can this be done with current technology?

***

When Lin Yao used the identity of "player" one day—

Daqiang: "Lin Yao, are you crazy? This is the back garden of the BOSS! How could you take me here? If we are not killed by the hunted person, we will be killed by the prevention and control machine here first. died!"

Lin Yao: "..."

Excuse me, how should I explain to my good brother Daqiang that I have a slightly less innocent relationship with the protagonist in the original book, the current BOSS?
