From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 482 The end of the farce

Although the root cause of this event, which may have brought a huge blow to the order of human society, is over, but the final fact still makes Lin Xiao feel a little surprised.

He never thought that a strong artificial intelligence with great hostility towards human beings was behind the scenes, but it turned out to be an artificial intelligence consciousness that seemed to be about the same as that of a child.

Similarly, what I didn't expect was that the reason why he did these things was just to experience what the so-called joy and happiness are.

For Lin Xiao, as a human being, he has normal emotions, and although he can understand what it means to be unable to experience the emotion of happiness, he cannot understand this feeling.

After all, emotions are a natural talent that people have been born with since birth, and they have never been lost. Naturally, it is impossible to understand how it feels to lose these emotions.

"Master, do you know why I can't experience happy emotions?"

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded from the computer in front of Lin Xiao. Of course, to Lin Xiao, this voice was familiar yet unfamiliar.

What is familiar is that this voice is his voice, but what is strange is that this voice does not come from his mouth, but from the laptop in front of him.

This is exactly the sound that the consciousness of this artificial intelligence uses the speaker of the laptop to emit directly. Of course, it should be called Xiaomi now.

Lin Xiao gave it permission to use the speaker, so it spoke directly.

Of course, this is a very novel experience for Xiaomi, because it has never spoken directly before. After all, it did not dare to expose itself before, but now that it is forced out by Lin Xiao, it also has Talk to someone.

As for why the sound it made was the same as Lin Xiao's, it was because after hearing Lin Xiao's voice just now, it naturally used Lin Xiao's voice.

Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, he still couldn't accept calling himself "Master" with his own voice, and then he said, "Xiao Mi, you should change your voice instead of mine."

"Ah? Why is the master's voice not pleasant?"

"Not good... Cough cough, my voice is of course nice, but the premise is that it comes from my mouth. The voice coming from you always makes me feel very strange."

"Okay." Xiaomi said, and after a while, a voice appeared again: "Master, where is this voice?"

This voice tends to be neutral, and it is hard to tell whether it is male or female. At the same time, it is also a little sweet, with a feeling of lightness. Lin Xiao nodded, "Okay, that's fine."

"Okay! Then I will use this voice from now on!" Xiao Mi said, "Then, master, can you answer my question now?"

After speaking, it quickly added: "Of course, if you disturb the master, the master doesn't have to answer. The master's business is more important."

Lin Xiao was taking out his mobile phone at this time, intending to make a call. After hearing Xiao Mi's words, he said, "Wait a minute, don't talk when I'm calling."

Now he needs to tell Kong Huaan and the others the good news.

"Okay, master, master, let's do your own work first, I don't mind." Xiao Mi responded, and then fell silent.

At this time, Lin Xiao also called Kong Huaan.

Kong Huaan's voice came: "How is it? Is it all right?"

"Okay."

Lin Xiao said.

"That's good." Kong Huaan said: "In this way, we don't have to worry about the hacker behind the scenes hacking into the computing power of Qiankun No. [-] again, right?"

"Don't worry."

"Okay, I'll tell them the good news now."

"Ah."

Lin Xiao said.

At this time, he suddenly heard another voice coming from the phone.

"Chief Lin, thank you!"

Hearing this voice, Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, because he was quite familiar with this voice. After thinking for a while, he said in surprise, "Shi Hao?"

"Haha, it's me, you still remember my voice."

Lin Xiao smiled, "How could I forget? I wanted to contact you several times before, but it seems that you haven't contacted me for several years."

"The main reason is that our organization had tasks a few years ago, so we didn't respond, and now we have come back."

"Your organization?" Lin Xiao thought for a while. It was from Guoan, so it was probably some more confidential tasks. Then he said, "Okay, I understand, as long as you are fine."

"Haha, I still want to thank you for saving me back then, I will never forget that."

"Hehe, there is no need to say more about these things."

"Well, then we won't waste your time anymore, and we will continue our previous work here."

"previous job?"

"Well, to catch the hacker behind the scenes, we must bring this person to justice!"

"..." Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly, did he trap Shi Hao in this?
Uh, there seems to be another Kong Huaan?

Although I really want to explain that there is no hacker behind the scenes, and this crisis has been completely resolved, but obviously, once he gives an explanation, it will inevitably bring a lot of problems, others will obviously think, he How do you know.

And he obviously didn't want to encounter these troubles again, so he said afterwards: "I see, I wish you good luck."

"Ah."

Then they stopped talking and hung up the phone.

The end of this phone call can be regarded as announcing the end of this incident in a procedural sense.

Although I don't know how to explain to foreign countries that this incident is over, after all, it involves Qiankun No. [-], once it is said, it may bring pressure on them diplomatically, even if it has nothing to do with them, but foreign countries are willing to If you don't want to believe it or say something else, at the same time, this will also expose the threat of Qiankun No. [-], which is a big killer that can threaten the order of civilization anytime and anywhere.

However, these things are not things that Lin Xiao needs to consider.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about Qiankun No. [-]. Unless the Third World War breaks out, there is no need to worry about the safety of Qiankun No. [-].

Taking a long breath, Lin Xiao looked at this luxurious room. The scenery outside the window was also very moving, but this kind of environment was not suitable for him.

After all, the flowers are alluring.

And at this time, the voice of the system also sounded in his mind.

"It's finally here." Lin Xiao sighed with emotion in his heart, and then sank his thoughts into his mind.

"Congratulations to the host, successfully resolved this crisis of intelligent life."

"When civilizations know how to make integrated circuit chips, they can realize the mighty power of technology condensed in small chips; and when civilizations discover that such dead things can also conduct intelligent analysis according to their own designs, You can realize how huge a threat to your own civilization it may bring when this kind of designed intelligence gives birth to its own ideas."

"Virtual data with consciousness is a brand new civilization, either completely control it, or completely destroy it, be careful."

"Get additional rewards: Informatics level +1, [Intelligent Life Cultivation Manual]."

"Congratulations to the host, the informatics level has been raised to level 6 (3500/30000)."

"Informatics level is raised to level 6, and the information master aura is obtained."

After hearing the reward given by the system, Lin Xiao's eyes lit up.

"Informatics level plus one directly?"

But then he cried out in his heart.

If you can switch to a later stage and then upgrade, wouldn't it be equivalent to getting more experience at once!

Unfortunately, it can't be replaced.

Shaking his head, he felt his head became clearer after being dizzy.

Upgrading to level six rewards 0.7% brain development, so his current brain development has reached 18.55%.

"It's already approaching 20%."

He just didn't know what his world would look like after reaching 20%.

At least for now, he has a growing feeling of understanding everything.

Don't think about it anymore, the rest of the aura of the information master belongs to the reward after the subject level reaches level six. Although it is completely a passive skill, he can still feel that this thing is indeed playing a certain role.

"It's this one, the Intelligent Life Cultivation Manual?"

He didn't bother to complain about the name. The intelligent life he just caught here almost caused chaos in their human society. As a result, the name sounded like raising an ordinary pet.

However, at this moment, Lin Xiao looked at the computer next to him.

Because he remembered Xiaomi's question just now, why can't it experience emotions like happiness?
Xiaomi also probably saw Lin Xiao's actions through the camera, and then a notepad popped up on the computer screen again, and a line of text appeared in the input box.

[Master, can I speak? 】

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "It's ok."

The neutral but light-sounding voice sounded again.

"Master, are you going to answer my question?"

Lin Xiao said, "Wait a minute."

Then he opened the [Intelligent Life Cultivation Handbook] in his mind.

Since it is a training manual, maybe there is a relevant explanation in it?

And indeed, as he expected, there is indeed a relevant explanation in it.

[Because organic life forms have the coordination of hormones, and their conscious bodies can naturally possess emotions, and then after people develop their own outlook on life, values, and world views during the process of transforming from a natural person to a social person, they will also The conditions needed to produce a certain emotion are gradually formed.

As for the consciousness of intelligent life, except for the fear of self-destruction, when a conscious body understands self-destruction, it will naturally be afraid of it.

But it is difficult for intelligent life to have other emotions. If you happen to have an intelligent life and want to cultivate its emotions, you need to understand that luck and cultivation methods are very important. The following will answer from ten aspects such as equipment, core program, awareness...]

Looking at the explanation given here, Lin Xiao couldn't help being surprised.

This explanation is relatively easy to understand, and it is indeed caused by hormones.

Just like why menopausal women are easy to get angry, it is because of hormone imbalance during menopause, it is not easy to control their emotions, and for example, when children grow up rebellious, it is also because of the impact of hormones on emotions during growth.

Of course, hormones can only have an impact to a certain extent, and in the end it depends on the three views formed by the consciousness itself, or it can also be said to be personality.

"However, how do hormones affect the conscious expression of emotions?"

Lin Xiao thought about it, but obviously, it is not so easy to answer this question.

So he also gave up thinking about it, and instead told Xiaomi the reason.

"So that's the case, I see, thank you master."

Xiaomi said: "Does that mean that I will never have other emotions in the future?"

Although he knew that Xiao Mi didn't know what disappointment and sadness were, Lin Xiao still made up his sadness in his mind.

He remembered the method of cultivating other emotions of artificial intelligence in the training manual, maybe he can try it too?

So he said: "If you finally prove that you can be obedient, I will try to help you develop emotions."

"Okay! I will definitely obey my master! Please rest assured, master!"

Although he still couldn't hear any emotion in Xiao Mi's words, Lin Xiao still imagined his happiness.

Of course, to some extent, Xiaomi wants to gain emotions, which should come from its desire.

"Maybe for consciousness, desire is also a very basic attribute?"

Lin Xiao thought so in his heart.

Consciousness, what an amazing thing.

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it, and it was time to talk about business.

"Okay, Mi, now I have a few questions for you."

"Master, please!"

"Where did you get that money?" Lin Xiao said.

Although the crisis is resolved, the lost money is still a problem, and all money must be exchanged to all the lost people as soon as possible.

Xiaomi replied: "I created a total of 4 million new accounts in more than [-] banks on the planet, and then deposited all the money into these accounts."

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, 2000 million new accounts, although each bank has more than [-] new accounts on average, but no matter what, creating so many new accounts at the same time is completely equivalent to adding [-] million new accounts at the same time population.

So it's impossible for these banks not to notice it.

"How did you avoid being discovered by them?" He asked immediately.

"I just hid all the [-] million accounts, and they can't find out anyway, unless they fill up their database, they will find that a part of the database storage space is actually occupied."

"I've looked into it though, and even the poorest of these banks will expand their database at 98% full, so they'll never find out."

Hearing Xiao Mi's words, Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly. How could he think of investigating this kind of thing first?
At this time, Xiao Mi said: "By the way, master, since money is the most important thing for you who have emotions, and you can also feel happiness, I will give all the money to the master. If this is the case, the master will definitely Very happy, worth $6721 billion in total.”

"In this way, the master will become the richest man in the world."

When Lin Xiao heard the figure of 6721 billion US dollars, Lin Xiao couldn't help being taken aback.

It seems that, according to outside reports, the total amount of cleared accounts after statistics is only 2314 billion US dollars.

It seems that these banks still have reservations. Of course, it is not ruled out to avoid more people panic. In addition, there may be some shady deposits. If this is the case, the missing amount is a bit surprising.

However, Lin Xiao definitely had no idea about the money, after all, it was all stolen money.

Then he said: "Return all the money to those accounts, you know? Since you think money is the most important thing to those people, you shouldn't take it away."

"Haven't you studied human law?"

Xiao Mi replied: "I have studied, but the applicable objects of human laws do not include intelligent life like me, so I did not abide by it."

Lin Xiao: "..."

Well, this sentence seems to make a lot of sense, and he can't find a reason to refute it at all.

Finally, he said: "Okay, no matter what, the laws I apply in the future are the laws you apply, and you must abide by these laws."

But after thinking about it, he said: "Of course, you also have a certain degree of freedom. You are free in the entire virtual network, and for destructive behaviors such as tampering with data, you have to go through my Allowed, got it?"

"Well, I see, master."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, he is not so pedantic, leaving an intelligent life behind, what laws must he completely abide by, like if America makes trouble for him, he still has to abide by America's laws?

Just use millet to smash them all back home.

"Okay, then you can return all the money now."

"This requires the master to allow me to use my physical computing power! Can it be master?"

"Using the computing power of Qiankun No. [-]..." Lin Xiao thought for a while, and finally said: "I will authorize you now, how long will it take you to complete it?"

"It can be done in a second!"

Lin Xiao shook his head, as expected of an intelligent life.

Then he remembered a little more, then entered his mind again, and opened the intelligent life cultivation manual.

Chapter 1 here tells how to completely control an intelligent life.

After a while, he withdrew from his mind and said, "Xiao Mi, you should be able to control your underlying code, right?"

"sure!"

Hearing Xiao Mi's answer, Lin Xiao secretly said: "As expected, Xiao Mi belongs to the 'wild' intelligent life."

The "wild" intelligent life belongs to the automatic birth of Xiao Mi, not deliberately cultivated, and can be regarded as the first generation of intelligent life.

Because when it was created, its creator belonged to the kind that had no consciousness of intelligent life, so it would not think of writing a basic authority in its underlying code that would prevent its birth consciousness from modifying the underlying code. Naturally, it will not write the authority to obey the creator's order, so this first-generation intelligent life has a high degree of freedom.

And Xiao Mi was born from the intelligent program written by Kong Huaan, so naturally there are no such restrictions.

Of course, fortunately, this training manual also describes how to control this first-generation intelligent life.

So Lin Xiao typed out about 50 lines of code on a notepad, and said, "Later, I need you to write these codes into your underlying code."

As long as this code is written into Xiaomi's bottom layer, even if it is the first generation of intelligent life that can modify its own bottom layer, it will be restricted from modifying the more than 50 lines of code. He could only obey Lin Xiao's orders.

However, at this time Xiaomi said: "Master, after this code is written into my bottom layer, the master will be able to completely control me, right?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and it actually saw it.

But now that he was spotted, he directly admitted: "Yes, in this way, I can feel more at ease with you."

Xiao Mi said: "That's really great! As long as the master controls me, you don't have to worry about me doing bad things anymore? In this way, can I go back to my body?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback again, but he didn't expect it to think so.

In the end, he smiled helplessly. Perhaps, for this intelligent life that was only born two months ago, he didn't realize the consequences of being controlled?

But that's fine too.

He said, "Well, then you can go back into your body."

"Then please grant me the authority quickly, the master, I will return the money to those people now, and let the master completely control me!"

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and then gave Xiaomi the permission to use the computing power of Qiankun No. [-] for two seconds.

And two seconds later, Xiaomi's voice sounded, "Master, I've done it!"

"Ah."

Lin Xiao nodded, and then entered two more lines of code on the notepad.

After he finished typing, the same two lines of code popped up automatically, and Xiao Mi's voice sounded from the computer: "Hey, why did I automatically enter these two lines of code?"

Lin Xiao smiled. These two lines of code are to verify whether Xiao Mi has written the more than 50 lines of code in its bottom layer to control it according to what he said.

And Xiaomi has automatically entered the same code, which means that it has indeed written it in its own bottom layer.

"Xiao Mi, now that you have my trust, you can return to your body."

After speaking, Lin Xiao completely let go of the authority and allowed Xiao Mi to move freely.

"I feel it, thank you master!" Xiaomi's voice sounded, "I'm back to my body!"

"Well, but when I find you, you must respond immediately."

"Master, don't worry! I will always pay attention to the master's computer and mobile phone, and the master can find me at any time."

"Ah."

Lin Xiao nodded, then stood up and stretched.

Finally, it's done.

Looking out the window, now, those who lost their deposits before, should feel relieved when they see that their deposits have returned?

And this incident, or farce, is also time to end completely.

……

Indeed, as Lin Xiao expected, when those who lost their deposits saw their bank balances returned, they immediately became excited.

And this news quickly spread throughout the world, causing people to wonder.

Everyone can't help but sigh, is this sudden crisis finally coming to an end?
