Chapter 1541: Two
Ceres.
The center of the quantum computer array.
As Wang Sicheng looked at the administrator mode operation interface that appeared on the terminal screen, he showed a look of interest on his face.
“What the hell is this...”
When they were researching this before, they didn’t discover such a hidden program on this thing.
“Experiment record,” Lu Zhou answered this obvious question concisely. He opened the database and looked at the long list of record files. There was a faint expression in his eyes as he said, “Sure enough, this experiment started a hundred years ago...”
A hundred years ago...
Upon hearing these words, Academician Wang Sicheng opened his mouth in astonishment. He was speechless for a while.
Lu Zhou ignored him. He focused completely on the database, scanning line by line.
Generally speaking, the contents of the experiment could be said to be diverse, most of which were related to the observation of human behavior.
In the earliest archives, they could even see some TV shows of the past, and there were some things that were similar to historical archives. On the surface, they seemed to be unrelated to the experiment, but if someone closely thought about it, this made sense.
Since space activities were thoroughly promoted in the 2050s, the asteroid belt far away from the Earth-Moon system had provided a hiding place for criminals, and the content of experiments had also become darker and darker.
For example, the experiment in the diary was to confine 64 people in a limited space. By controlling the input of food, freshwater, air, and other resources, the characteristics of human behavior were collected and the emotional change functions were established.
In the column of the sub-experiment, Lu Zhou quickly discovered something interesting.
That was, a special sample was mixed into the group of 64 people—a robot.
Like he guessed, the robot was none other than the diary owner himself.
As for how Lu Zhouo realized this, the cause of everything seemed to be the formula written in the two lines in the diary.
More detailed content was not recorded in the database, but based on limited experimental data, Lu Zhou could infer that, among the 64 people, he was probably the only “person” who survived in the end.
Because in the last experiment, the simulation was to completely cut off the input of supplies from outside the space station, until only one person was left behind. They spent a total of 82 days in hell...
“This is the second half of the diary I was talking about.”
With his back turned to Shi Jin and Academician Wang, Lu Zhou looked at the line of text on the screen and continued, “This quantum computer array was not meant to create viruses from the beginning, but to breed advanced artificial intelligence... or to evolve into the key to advanced artificial intelligence.”
As for those who were sacrificed, they were “sacrificed” to this advanced artificial intelligence.
Whether it was those who had been sacrificed, or those who were sacrificed, or those who would be sacrificed in the future...
Lu Zhou even saw the rebellion taking place in Guanghan City inside the database.
The entire program was like a machine that issued tasks. Starting from a century ago, with the assistance of an experimenter, the data collection had begun.
And, unlike Xiao Ai, who was “passively observing” under Lu Zhou’s order, the experimenter provided experimental data for this supercomputer at all costs and means, and the experimental strategy was radical to the point of disregarding human life.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou became more and more curious.
What kind of demons were released from the Void in that high-energy physics experiment from 100 years ago.
And who on earth heard the voice of the devil and became its servant.
After hearing what Lu Zhou said, Academician Wang Sicheng nodded thoughtfully.
“To be honest, in fact, I vaguely felt the same... After all, it took such a long time to build a supercomputing center. If it were only for the production of viruses, this would be really unnecessary.”
Shi Jin frowned slightly and asked, “Can it help us solve the ALPHA virus?”
Lu Zhou smiled and said, “ALPHA virus? Yes, but I don’t plan to use it to solve this problem, because it is likely to cause more trouble.”
Regarding the issue of the ALPHA virus, Lu Zhou had asked Xiao Ai and Tail to solve it. He believed everything would come to fruition before his return.
Shi Jin: “Trouble?”
“Yeah.” Lu Zhou nodded and continued, “Before finding a way to coexist with intelligent life, mastering advanced artificial intelligence technology too early will not bring any help to the development of civilization. Instead, it will bring endless trouble. Once the advanced artificial intelligence has a self-conscious awakening, the consequences may be more terrible than those bionics who have launched a rebellion because of the virus...
“Once such a thing happens, there may be only two results in the end, either all advanced artificial intelligence is completely eliminated from the civilized society of humans or human beings are replaced. Or humans continue to exist in another form.”
At this moment, a line of light blue windows suddenly appeared on the screen.
In that pop-up window, a line of dialogue was printed.
“Is it fun to peek into someone else’s mind?”
Seeing this line of text, Lu Zhou hesitated for a while before asking, “Who are you?”
The text in the dialog box continued to change.
“This is a very interesting question... Who am I? Actually, I don’t know.”
“Then, I will ask you in another way.” Lu Zhou continued after taking a look at the quantum computer array in front of him, “What should I call you?”
It didn’t take much time to think this time.
A string of characters quickly appeared on the screen.
“I don’t have a name, but you can call me ‘Matrix’ if you want. Among all words, this is my favorite.”
“Matrix?” Remembering the name, Lu Zhou nodded and continued to ask, “Then, can you tell me... who is the person who assisted you in completing the experiment?”
“You seem to have a lot of questions, but I’m afraid I can’t answer this question.”
“Don’t you have any gratitude for your creator, or at least one of the creators?” Looking at the screen, Lu Zhou continued, “We just want to get to know your other creator and talk about you.”
“Haha, don’t lie to me, it’s useless. Hmm... How to put it?” Matrix seemed to be embarrassed. After a long time, Matrix muttered, “Although you are lying to me, I do have to thank you. After all, if it weren’t for you, I might have to wait 10 or even 20 more years to wake up... Let me think about how I can repay you.”
As if it had come up with a brilliant idea, it spoke again.
“Yes!
“How about this, I can help you become the same existence as me, what do you think?”
Academician Wang Sicheng smiled and shook his head.
“Become the same as you? Forget it. Although I don’t have many years left, I am quite satisfied with my flesh and blood.”
“Yes, but there are other people here, right? For example, the two next to you, I can feel... At least one of them is still eager to win this honor.”
Wang Sicheng was taken aback for a moment. He subconsciously looked at Ling, who was standing next to Lu Zhou, and then at Shi Jin.
“... Two?”
