In Xu You's usual thinking, he often compares Proxima Centauri with robots, comparing the similarities and differences among them.

"Of course, Proxima Centauri are also carbon-based organisms after all, which are very different from real robots. Proxima Centauri have never thought that they are robots. But in the Proxima Centauri civilization, there was once a plan, a A very bold plan."

Listening to Severly's words, everyone focused their attention and looked forward to Severly's next words.

"The Proxima civilization once had a plan, which was to completely transform a planet into a planet of artificial intelligence and robots. On this planet, there will be no carbon-based existence, and all civilizations will be based on machinery and electricity. based on……"

Severly's words really shocked everyone, because such an idea is really too unbelievable.

"A civilization made purely of machinery and electricity...is it really a civilization? No, I don't think they're even life."

Lin Shi expressed doubts about this idea. After all, in Lin Shi's cognition, machinery and life are not the same concept.

"Yes, Lin Shi. Strictly speaking, machines are indeed not life. But if we relax the relevant concepts a bit, as long as objects that can continue to descendants and undergo evolution are regarded as life, Then machinery, that is, robots, can be regarded as a kind of life.”

Listening to Severly's explanation, Lin Shi still looked unpredictable, but Xu You had already understood the general idea of ​​the matter from it.

"Severly, you said that robots can also continue to offspring, and can also complete autonomous evolution? How can this be said to be an impossible thing?"

Seeing Lin Shi raised a question, Xu You answered first:

"No, Lin Shi, your introduction is still stuck in the past. With the current ability of artificial intelligence, it is indeed possible to complete the process of continuation of offspring and autonomous evolution. Severly, let me guess this process first, and then Please evaluate again, whether what I said is somewhat similar to the plan of the Proxima Centauri civilization."

"Okay, Teacher Xu, then please tell me first."

"First of all, let me talk about the way robots continue to descendants. In fact, continuing the descendants themselves is the process of creating a new robot. At this point, our Blue Star civilization already has such capabilities..."

Listening to Xu You's narration, Lin Shi also gradually understood what Xu You was thinking.

"It turns out that as long as the robots we produce are able to manufacture robots autonomously, then all of this is similar to the continuation of biological offspring. But teacher, this process is more like a manufacturing process. How do we What about the evolution of species?"

"This is not complicated to say. We only need to simulate the genetic mechanism of organisms so that each robot has its own unique 'gene'. Of course, the so-called 'gene' here is something similar to a computer program code that can determine The various attributes of the robot. When two robots are combined, they will immediately extract the program codes that control their own attributes and combine them..."

Hearing this, Lin Shi already roughly understood what Xu You wanted to express.

At this time, Luo Wenkun asked Xu You:

"Xu You, I have roughly understood the basic principles of how robots reproduce offspring. Simply put, it is to let robots also make robots, and to simulate genetic recombination through the combination of program codes. It's just Xu Yu, I don't quite understand how to complete the evolution of robots in this way?"

After listening to Luo Wenkun's question, Xu You replied:

"It's very simple, just let a small part of these program codes undergo random changes. Of course, we need to conduct complex research to control the specific ways in which these program codes change..."

This way of changing the program code is similar to the genetic mutation of organisms in nature, and through natural selection, breakthroughs that are more adaptable to environmental changes can be preserved.

Of course, it is still very difficult to simulate a real genetic breakthrough by changing the program code.

After listening to everything Xu You said, Lin Shi asked Severly:

"Severly, what the teacher said just now is similar to the plan of the Proxima Centauri civilization?"

"There are a lot of similarities. Mr. Xu has almost hit all the key points in the Proxima Centauri civilization plan. Of course, there are some details that are slightly different, but this is also a very normal thing."

Severly also lamented the accuracy of Xu You's guess. After all, Severly had never disclosed any information related to this to Xu You before, but Xu You still made the plan as accurate as if he had known the whole plan. It was predicted.

"Teacher, this is too powerful. But Severly, since the Proxima civilization already has this plan, will it be successfully implemented in the future?"

Lin Shi also expressed her admiration for Xu You to Xu You, and at the same time asked Severly about the follow-up of the plan.

"The Proxima Centauri Civilization did try to start this project, but due to various reasons, this research finally fell through."

"Severly, the reason for this should include the random change of the program code."

"Yes, this is one of the main problems. At the beginning, when the Proxima civilization made random program code changes, it produced many robots with very poor capabilities, which caused the entire robot race to decline quickly. In the subsequent research, the Proxima Centauri civilization did not solve this problem well, because if the change of program code is minimized, it is more like a mechanized manufacturing project."

Hearing Severly's words, Xu You nodded lightly, expressing that he had already expected these situations.

"It's okay, Severly, we will definitely work hard to solve these problems in the future. I have already made a rough plan for these plans."

As early as when he was thinking about these issues, Xu You used his brain simulation skills to predict the evolution model of this robot race.

As long as the random changes in the program code can be reasonably controlled, then the robot can indeed evolve bit by bit in the process of continuous reproduction.

In the next few years, the Blue Star civilization gradually completed the development of Mars, transformed Mars into a new home for mankind, and gradually started the development of other planets and satellites in the solar system, and even began to set their goals on the beyond the solar system.

At the same time, the "Robot Civilization" project that Severly is in charge of has also officially started operation.

In order to ensure the safety of this project to the greatest extent, Xu You chose to place this project on a planet outside the solar system.

Of course, Xu You didn't want this planet to be a mere experimental base. In order to protect this planet and prevent these evolving robots from threatening other planets, Xu You set up a huge planet outside the planet. barrier.

In this way, no matter how developed these robots are, they will never be able to break through this barrier, which also allows Xu You to rest assured of the implementation of this project.

After confirming the safety of the project, Xu You let Severly take charge of the specific implementation of the project.

At the beginning, this planet didn't undergo any transformation. Severly just let a group of robots come to this planet, and then quietly observed the changes of these robots without any other intervention.

The initial attributes of these robots are not very strong, and their brain power is not even as strong as the average level of Blue Star humans, but their advantage is that they have very strong survivability.

They don't need oxygen, water and food like living things, they only need energy as a supply to survive.

This allowed them to survive on this new planet quickly, and developed into their own population, and began the process of reproduction.

In order to make the progress of this experiment more rapid, Severly specially increased the reproduction speed of these robots, and they can reproduce their own offspring every year.

Of course, these small robots can't grow simply by relying on energy, but need to replenish various materials needed in the body.

Fortunately, the elements contained in these materials can still be collected on the planet, and the elements in the bodies of those dead robots can also be recycled again.

In this way, these robot races began the development of their own civilization.

At the beginning, the changes of these robots were not too obvious, but as time passed, these robots gradually formed a very large population, and spread to every corner of the planet.

And the abilities of these robots have become stronger little by little in the continuous evolution of the robots.

"I really didn't expect that these robots would evolve so fast after just a few years. Their civilization level has reached the age of human steam."

Xu You has been observing the changes in the robot population on this planet through various devices placed on this planet.

Although the rapid reproduction of robots has played a very critical role in this, the mutation mechanism of these program changes is one of the more important ones.

During this period, Xu You's research on the X-level super quantum also made very important progress.

After continuous research, Xu You discovered that the X grade is not a specific grade, but a special grade beyond the ordinary grade.

This feeling, like "positive infinity" in mathematics, has no exact meaning.

There may be a very large difference in the magnitude of energy between different X-level super quantum, but this still does not affect their existence as X-level.

In the research on how to manufacture X-level super quantum, Xu You also made a big breakthrough.

Xu You discovered that there are many connections between X-level super quantum and intelligent creatures.

To be more precise, in order to manufacture an X-level super quantum, it may be necessary to use an intelligent creature with a very high brain value as a raw material.

"Xu You, if your conjecture is correct, would you really create an X-level super quantum by sacrificing yourself?"

Hearing Lu Zhiyao's question, Xu You solemnly replied:

"If this is a necessary thing, I will naturally choose to do it without hesitation. In this time and space, there is no need for me to do more. But if I cannot complete the entire time and space If the loop is closed, then this time and space may also be affected by it, which is something I absolutely cannot see."

Xu You's meaning is very obvious. Even if relying on the current ability of Blue Star Civilization, human beings like Xu You can achieve immortality, but simple immortality does not have any meaning, and it will even make Xu You feel hopeless.

And if there is a crack in this time and space because the closed loop of time and space cannot be completed, then the entire time and space may even collapse.

"Of course, all of this needs further verification, and Severly's robot experiment is a very important topic. We must understand the upper limit of artificial intelligence, so as to prevent the rapid development of artificial intelligence from affecting human civilization. Serious threat."

Xu You has always been worried about the threat posed by artificial intelligence, because since the emergence of quantum computers, artificial intelligence has developed very rapidly.

Even though Xu You has achieved a lot of good research results relying on artificial intelligence, it doesn't mean that Xu You has no worries about the development of artificial intelligence.

And through Severly's robot civilization experiment, it is possible to explore the threat of artificial intelligence in a more comprehensive way.

After another few years, what Xu You worried about gradually became a reality.

These robots developed very fast, and soon developed into the information age, and even a lot of research has been done on them.

What they can't figure out is how they were created in the first place, and whether there is a great existence like a creator.

And when exploring space, they also discovered that there is an invisible barrier on the periphery of this planet, preventing them from moving to the outside world.

Using various data from the evolution process of these robots, Xu You obtained a method to limit artificial intelligence, which can limit artificial intelligence within a safe range.

After completing all this, Xu You can finally create X-level super quantum with peace of mind.

Xu You knew that in this process, he would leave this time and space forever.

And Lu Zhiyao will also make the same choice as Xu You. In this way, the two of them can always be entangled forever in the form of super quantum.

In the haze, such a voice came from the ear of a young man named Xu You.
