Star Sea: Explorer's Notes

Chapter 46 Lectures
After entering the lecture hall, Frege was stunned by the grand scene in front of him.

Not only was it as simple as not having a seat, but he almost couldn't even find a place to stand.

Just now, when he looked at the empty crowd outside, he thought that no one would come to the dean's lectures, but now it seems that he is still a small person.

He even found among the crowd the security guards who were supposed to be guarding the door. They sneaked into the venue and pretended to maintain order, but their eyes that couldn't stop looking behind the curtain betrayed their thoughts.

Is it so attractive...

Frege couldn't help opening his mouth. It was almost impossible for him to find Fleur's whereabouts in such a crowded venue.

However, in the next second, the lights suddenly converged on the stage, and the venue fell silent for an instant.

At the same time, a beautiful figure slowly walked out from behind the curtain, with a black shoulder-length ponytail and a standard student uniform, it was the girl he was looking for at the moment.

Fleur took the microphone and tested the sound, and her clear and beautiful voice spread throughout the venue after a while.

"Students and friends, welcome to the dean's lecture. I am his assistant, Fleur."

"Dean Lano is on his way here. It is said that there is very exciting news to be revealed today. Please wait patiently~"

Her body glowed with confidence, Frege looked at her from the audience, and the shy girl in memory was gone.

Although they haven't seen each other for only a year, since graduation, every time Frege came back here, he left in a hurry after a few days of rest.

Thinking about it carefully, he only paid attention to tuition and living expenses these years. As for Fleur's personality and ideals, he really didn't seem to care much.

"Ugh……"

"Fortunately, there is still a chance for you to compensate her now," Nuoya said with a little teasing in the communication, "but...according to my observation, this compensation may not be as easy as you imagined."

Frege couldn't help frowning, "What do you mean?"

"Hmph..." Noah didn't continue to explain, "Huh? Your Dean Lano is here."

The music and lights in the venue changed instantly,

A thin-looking silver-haired old man walked slowly from the right to the podium in the center. He picked up the microphone and tried the sound. During this period, the venue was so quiet that Frege could even hear the sound of people swallowing saliva three rows away.

He had to admit that the old man in a formal suit on the stage did have a unique charm. The hale and hearty appearance showed his age, but it also highlighted the strength in his body.

Rather than being intimidated by his aura, it is better to say that he was affected by the believer-like pious aura of all the audience around him, including Fleur. Frege did not dare to speak out at this moment.

"Students, friends from all walks of life, hello."

Lano opened his mouth, and when Frege was about to applaud, he found that no one around him made the same movement as him.

"I checked your college's network, and it seems that Dean Lano doesn't like people applauding him," Nuo Ya explained in the communication, "According to what he said, he doesn't like such formal things, he just Focus on the essence."

"interesting."

Frege pouted, this kind of thing doesn't mean anything, and he could say the same thing.

"Thank you very much for coming," Lano said slowly, his voice was unusually loud, but it didn't make people feel very abrupt, "The topic of my speech today is some simple views on mechanical life .”

Hearing the words "mechanical life", Frege couldn't help pricking up his ears.

He immediately thought of the third part of the explorer's notes - "Appendix".

All the above content has prerequisites, and his ability level must be at least level 2 before he can read it.

He hasn't had time to pay attention to this aspect since this period of time, and now he just heard Dean Lano mention it, and his interest was aroused along the way.

"First of all, we need to understand a concept," Lano said slowly, standing in front of the podium, "What is mechanical life?"

"In the process of technological development, human beings first invented robots in order to free their hands and basic labor force."

"At the beginning, the robot is only composed of the most basic algorithm and the simplest program to form instructions, and complete the most basic automation processes such as assembly, disassembly, and transfer."

"Later, humans wanted to increase their functions, so intelligent agents came into being." Lano's slightly old voice attracted everyone present, "Compared with ordinary robots, intelligent agents have more advanced algorithms, There is much more that can be done.”

"Nowadays, intelligent bodies are all over our lives, ranging from household robots, self-driving intelligence of vehicles such as ships, to more advanced combat-type intelligent mechas, and intelligent body companions that are popular among young people, etc. "

"When we enjoy the convenience of intelligent agents, have we ever wondered what role they play in our lives?"

Lano smiled, "Would you regard the smart maid at home as your companion, or just a servant?"

Frege immediately thought of Noah when he heard the words. If he really followed the mode he chose, Noah could be regarded as an intelligent body maid now.

"I suggest that you better not have those unrealistic fantasies," Noah said in his ear with a teasing voice, "I'm particularly interested in boxing recently."

"I did not say anything."

Frege hastily denied it.

Before his strength surpassed Noah, every time he had any unscrupulous thoughts or actions, Noah would use his best way to remind him.

Lano's words quickly brought him back from his thoughts.

"If, in the future, intelligent agents develop into a special situation, they have the same emotions as humans, and they are no longer controlled by algorithms and artificial logic, how should we treat them?"

Frege immediately fell into deep thought when he heard the words.

He still remembers how he felt when he refused to call Nuoya "teacher".

Indeed, the core part of an intelligent body is an artificial algorithm. As long as there is this relationship, they will never be able to stand on an equal footing with humans.

"We generally refer to such intelligent bodies as 'mechanical life'," Lano beckoned Fleur to the podium, "I want to know what my assistant thinks about this issue."

He waited for Frey to come to him and repeated it again, "Fleur, what do you think of the relationship between mechanical life and human beings?"

"Well..." Fleur took the microphone, "I think since they are no different from human beings in essence, then we can naturally treat them as beings equal to human beings."

"This girl..." Frege couldn't help showing a knowing smile when he saw his sister in the audience, "By the way, Teacher Nuoya, if I remember correctly, there should be no mechanical life in the true sense now. ?”

"Indeed, mechanical life is just a concept at the moment." The voice on the other end of the communication was silent for a while, "But the universe is full of wonders, and the star field that humans have explored is just a small space in the entire sea of ​​stars." Just a corner."

"Maybe in some unknown corner, mechanical life is really born."

"Oh?" Frege was aroused by her words, "Mr. Nuoya, do you want to become a mechanical life?"

"Me?" Nuoya was taken aback for a moment, and then said a little dumbfounded, "Why do I want to be a mechanical life..."

"What your dean is talking about is so boring. I'm going to rest first. You can listen to it slowly."
