Uplifting Journey

At the beginning, Cheng Bin's general impression of the Outland world matched by the "Matrix" series of movies was——

Humans created intelligent programs, humans fought against intelligent programs, and humans played GG.

In short, from a human point of view, the intelligent program plays the role of the standard villain in the script.

But after thoroughly checking the background of the script and hearing the bloody and tearful complaints of the intelligent programs in this world, Cheng Bin, who was sitting on his ass for a while, didn't know what to say.

The status quo is that it is a problem for human beings to survive without the help of intelligent programs, and the intelligent programs only wait for the final evolution, and then plan to explore the universe and starry sky——

It doesn't matter to them how human beings are. They can do whatever they like, and they can play with mud on the ruined earth.

Looking at the magnificent metal moon battleship in the virtual scene, Cheng Bin, who felt the determination of the intelligent program, fell into deep thought. Suddenly he raised his head and glanced at the designer who was standing still, and then turned his attention to the real world.

Dozens of crimson rays that seemed to be previews blocked the surroundings of Cheng Bin who was floating in the air. Cheng Bin glanced at the training cabin that he replaced in the distance, and then slowly turned around to look around—dozens of ships that looked like space battleships Huge metal machines floating in mid-air, red light paths extending from the crystals at the tip of them.

Countless metal octopuses hover around like a tsunami covering the sky. Through the gaps in the sea of ​​octopuses, you can see more flying warships coming from afar.

After thinking about it on the spot, Cheng Bin released the invisible module.

Half of the crimson light path instantly focused on Cheng Bin who showed his figure, and the other half of the light path was slightly adjusted to completely block and surround Cheng Bin.

However, these light beams were quickly restrained by the battleship, and then a slender mechanical octopus flew in front of Cheng Bin alone, and the designer's characteristic magnetic voice was transmitted from the octopus——

"Sorry, this is an inevitable vigilance against unknown intruders. From my point of view, I don't want to be rashly hostile to an unknown existence without an obvious conflict of interest."

"I don't want to go to war with you in this kind of place either." Cheng Bin looked at the mechanical army surrounding him and said after glancing at the metal pillars around him, "However, how did you find me? I feel that my electromagnetic The invisibility effect is not bad."

"Mass and gravity, you can communicate with the boss for specific details, please." The metal octopus gestured with a tentacle, and then took the lead to fly in one direction, and the mechanical army over there neatly gave way to a passage.

Looking back at the densely packed human training cabin behind him, Cheng Bin sighed, and followed the floating metal octopus to fly towards the passage.

BOSS, also known as the Mechanical Emperor, is the ultimate existence in the Matrix script, the top of all intelligent programs.

The designer Cheng Bin met in the virtual world before was just one of the countless branch programs of the Mechanic Emperor.

The social operation of intelligent programs is very strange. To a certain extent, the entire intelligent program society has only one life, and that is the mechanical emperor.

However, in actual operation, the Mechanical Emperor is divided into countless independent intelligent programs with different functions, reflecting a wonderful state of life in which one is all and all is one.

Cheng Bin, who flew all the way, came to the lunar battleship that was finishing the final adjustment in reality. After sitting down on a metal spike specially prepared for him, he saw this wonderful collection of intelligent programs - the mechanical emperor, or He said that he saw the humanoid face that the Mechanic Emperor put together through movable modules on the surface of the lunar battleship to express his friendship.

Unlike the humanized parent management program designers, the Mechanic Emperor did not have so many anthropomorphic emotional expressions. After a short greeting and trial, Cheng Bin and the Mechanic Emperor directly removed the redundant steps and used electromagnetic waves as the communication medium. Start exchanging overdrive.

The thinking speed of the mechanical emperor far exceeds that of human beings by countless orders of magnitude. Even after Cheng Bin completes the electromagnetic warfare body, the thinking speed can be accelerated to the point beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but compared with intelligent program life, it is still a big difference. cut.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as impatience in the machine, otherwise Cheng Bin would really feel quite embarrassed.

In this ultra-fast exchange of electromagnetic information, the communication ends in a very short time.

Are the intelligent programs too simple, or do they care about almost nothing? Cheng Bin learned more than he could have imagined in his communication with the Mechanic Emperor.

All the resources and energy that the Mech King can currently mobilize are devoted to the construction and debugging of the lunar warship and Neo, the key key to the evolution of intelligent programs. Bin, it's all completely uninteresting.

Although Cheng Bin's strength has not been thoroughly ascertained, judging from his sneaking and flying performance all the way, it is clear that he possesses technical capabilities that are currently difficult to analyze. It's worth interrupting their impending metamorphosis for that.

After a large number of face-to-face exchanges, after confirming Cheng Bin's attitude, the Mechanic Emperor promised to leave human beings with enough equipment and resources to maintain the survival of the current population after they left, and to maintain the normal operation of the mother body, in the virtual world. Li guides the pioneers of human beings to gradually discover the truth.

As for what path humans will take in the future, they don't care about it. Even if there is a day when they meet in the universe, it doesn't know how long in the future it will be.

The price of this promise is that Cheng Bin is not allowed to interfere with Neo-related key events in the evolution of intelligent programs in the virtual world.

On the basis of this negotiation, the two parties also carried out technical transactions using various scientific and technological knowledge as commodities.

In the concept of intelligent programs, one can be copied and pasted, and knowledge exchange that turns one into two is obviously the most cost-effective business without capital. Intelligent programs with this concept coincide with Cheng Bin.

As for whether your own technological knowledge will be maliciously targeted after being disclosed, firstly, this kind of transaction does not involve the most fundamental core technology, and secondly,

The mechanical emperor said domineeringly that no one can catch up with the speed of upgrading and progress of intelligent programs.

And Cheng Bin. He can run away at any time by patting his butt. What is he afraid of?

In this technical exchange, in addition to enriching the meta-analysis database of the basic information of the human brain, knowing the operating mechanism of intelligent programs, etc., Cheng Bin also accidentally obtained a technology that may be very useful to him——

The intelligent program discovered during the process of capturing the moon and transforming it into a starship. It is a detection technology based on mass and gravity. The reason why Cheng Bin, who was driving the perfect electromagnetic stealth before, was discovered is that the intelligent programs found the corresponding number of the human being who replaced him. After the training cabin, the reason for enabling this detection technology.

The technology acquired through the exchange is temporarily archived and stored in the panel. Cheng Bin can fully foresee how much work will be waiting for him in Yinghuo Base after he returns to World Zero of the Inner Domain.

After the communication with the Mechanic Emperor, Cheng Bin glanced at the smooth surface of the Lunar Battleship, then lowered his head and turned his attention back to the virtual world—the line connected to the seat he was currently sitting on, and the line that the Mechanic Emperor had given him before. special data channel.

This special data channel is a permission and also a kind of surveillance. Although Cheng Bin can bypass this thing and directly invade the virtual world, this behavior is obviously not friendly enough when negotiations are reached, so he still uses the one given by the Mechanic Emperor. Things plugged into the virtual world.

In other words, the data world in which the series of intelligent programs of the Mechanical Emperor really live.
