Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1274 The Imminent Plan

After convincing Victoria through physical means, an urgent plan was placed before Shangluo - he also wanted to go to heaven for urgent matters.

He called Zheng Shijie.

"Really? You want to fly a rocket? Are you saying you're willing to sit inside a cannonball to experiment?!"

Zheng Shijie was overjoyed. He had asked Shangluo many times before, but Shangluo had never agreed. But for some reason, Shangluo changed his mind this time and suddenly agreed to participate in the experiment - because apart from his own uncle, he really couldn't find anyone else who was willing to be stuffed into the shell and shot out.

And now, Shangluo finally agreed!
"Hey, hey, I haven't agreed to the cannonball thing yet. I just said I'm willing to participate in the space experiment."

"Then we were going to test the manned Vulcan device anyway. For example, after the first batch of feasibility tests are completed, we can immediately start the manned test."

"No. Apollonia said she absolutely does not want to be warped."

"Okay then, but if you want to participate in the experiment, do you have any special reason? I finally persuaded my uncle to participate in the experiment. I originally wanted to put him in the cannonball and shoot him out. If it's just an ordinary rocket, then it may not be necessary for him, a god, to participate."

[So filial.]

"Guoxing, I think we should be more conservative about this technology."

"Why? I saw that Mr. Archimedes said that this is completely feasible."

"You should understand that the last force that obeyed the Syracuse Academy was the exploded New Antioch. Now they have become the 'Columbian Automata' dominated by automata, and are planning to seize the power to feed the world from Rome through the 'Bread and Circuses' plan. Are you sure you want to believe everything he says? If you are really sure, it is not impossible."

“No, no, no,” Zheng Shijie came to his senses. “Thinking about it carefully, it’s indeed a little unreliable. But Mr. Archimedes’ words are so contagious! I always feel that there is no distance between him and me. Every word he says seems to touch my heart.”

"Guo Xing, shouldn't you be more cautious if it's the same? Think about those people who sell health products and those fortune tellers on the streets. They rely on 'making you think every word is from the heart' to trick you into opening your wallet."

"Oh my! If it weren't for you, I would have almost missed something important! So should I read Archimedes' words again?"

[Let him watch the video. In fact, the words of the sages are so contagious, especially when they talk to you directly. After all, these sages responded to the expectations of all Romans and became so "omniscient". They are originally a combination of people's wishes and historical projections. So their words can really penetrate people's hearts. ]

"Just like if you use your own data to train artificial intelligence, it will also understand you very well?" [Yes, that's what I mean. So we generally don't recommend asking the sages about everything, because that will only make the sages your echo chamber and drive you crazy. The new Antiochus was separated from the control of the Senate for too long and the guidance of the Oracle for too long, which led to his deviation from the right path to the point of no return. The correct approach is to use the sages to test whether your ideas are correct and ask for information from the sages. ]

"So watching the video can solve the problem?"

【Yes. Because when watching a video, it is different from talking face to face. Even if it is the same conversation, it will appear different because of the lack of presence - let me give you an analogy, if you disappear now, and suddenly someone who has seen your memory wants to replace you, do you think it is possible? I think it is unlikely. Memory is a comprehensive feeling, not just a visual signal. The naked eye can only see objective information, and nothing else. So he watched the video of the conversation with the sage again, and the problem was solved. 】

"But he doesn't seem to have any video equipment there?"

Recording a video is a difficult problem within the current technology because there is no such thing as a TV recording. Unless Zheng Shijie pointed the camera at the screen to record it, he would not be able to see it.

[Alas, I am so busy, and I have to act as a video recorder. Okay, I will translate the video format and send it to him later. He has planted a Jianmu tree there now, so the bandwidth should be enough to send the video. ]

After receiving the video, Zheng Shijie finally felt relieved. Because the conversation with Archimedes just now really benefited him a lot. Although Shangluo reminded him, he still wanted to record the most valuable part of that conversation.

After a quick glance through it, Zheng Shijie had a new understanding.

"Indeed." He expressed his approval of Shangluo, "You are right. I am now very worried whether the 'leap' itself violates certain physical rules and may cause the life forms in it to undergo uncontrollable changes. We can't even predict whether the person before and after the leap is still ourselves. All of these need to be tested ethically. However."

He also looked back at Archimedes' conversation: "We mentioned this in our conversation just now. Archimedes the Sage did not care. He believed that even if the jump technology was not safe, it would not prevent us from putting it into practical use. Because we do not need to use it to jump living people directly, but we can jump some artificial intelligence entities and let them complete the preliminary construction work on behalf of humans. After everything is built, humans can slowly fly over using ordinary aerospace means."

"Wait a minute." Shangluo reminded, "You have also had some changes in your opinion of this plan now, right?"

"Well, releasing self-reproducing artificial intelligence into the universe to develop instead of humans always feels like raising a Gu. Who knows what kind of destructive Gu it will raise when it is out of sight. But if humans really can't keep everything normal during the jump, then this is inevitable."

Zheng Shijie raised a realistic question: the future of mankind is ultimately in the vast universe. It would be a pity if the experiment was terminated because the jump technology could not launch humans.

In the simplest way, if artificial intelligence can be launched, then humans can launch high-tech mining robots to collect resources from extraterrestrial bodies, then transport them back to Earth orbit, and finally descend to the ground. This does not require human participation.
