I'm really a time traveler

"It really is"

Lin Yicheng looked at the information in front of him. Although he had not experienced that era, he could somewhat feel the hardships of that era.

They worked hard and spent all their resources just to build a dimension-enhancing machine, and then allow their civilization to ascend.

However, the machine came out, but was discovered by four-dimensional beings during the process of ascending to the dimension, and then the dimension ascending was interrupted.

In the end, the world became like this.

Lin Yicheng looked at the information in his hand and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After reading the information in his hand, Lin Yicheng sighed and picked up other information on the side to check it out.

After waiting for a while, Lin Yicheng changed the book in his hand to another one and continued to read, but soon Lin Yicheng shook his head and changed another one.

After changing several books in succession, Lin Yicheng walked out of the area.

He probably already knew all the books in this area, but he didn't get the information he wanted here.

Then next
Lin Yicheng thought of this and looked not far away.

Over there, it seems to be an area for various technical materials. I wonder if there are construction drawings of the dimension-enhancing machine over there, as well as related information in it?

Lin Yicheng thought of this and walked over.

Different from the historical area where Lin Yicheng just stayed, there are indeed a lot of people here, and they all seem to be studying something.

Lin Yicheng came to the front and looked at the books on the bookshelves one by one. When the books on them came into view, Lin Yicheng suddenly felt dizzy.

Speaking of which, Lin Yicheng has been studying for a long time after owning Xiaoxing. He has done some research on many technologies, so in terms of knowledge reserve, Lin Yicheng has a certain knowledge.

However, at this moment, facing the information in front of him, Lin Yicheng was completely helpless.

Because the knowledge here is completely beyond his understanding, a large part of the books involved here come from theories in various dimensions.

Moreover, there are many such books.

Under such circumstances, if Lin Yicheng really studied bit by bit and memorized these things by rote, it would be impossible for him to do it in less than a year and a half.

This was even if Lin Yicheng was good at recording words. If Lin Yicheng had a poor memory, he would not be able to write it down completely within a few years.

Moreover, even if it is written down, it is easy to get confused.

"That's not okay."

Lin Yicheng couldn't help but rub his eyebrows when he thought of this. After thinking about it, he walked aside and took out a book from the shelf. After flipping through it and reading a few pages, Lin Yicheng knew.

In his situation, it was completely impossible to just memorize the information by rote.

Since he couldn't memorize it by rote, it would be troublesome. In addition, he didn't have a clear goal as to which part of these books was about the construction of the dimension-enhancing machine.

This would make it even more troublesome.

"Little brother, are you also studying dimensional theory?"

Just when Lin Yicheng was holding the book and didn't know what to do for a moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Lin Yicheng turned around and saw a middle-aged man standing beside him.

One side of the middle-aged man's head looked like it had been cut diagonally, which looked extremely terrifying.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yicheng didn't show the slightest fear on his face.

He has seen a lot of all kinds of people here, and he is already immune to them now.

And from his observations, these should all be caused by the failure of dimension upgrade.

This world has become a little messy due to the failure of dimensionality expansion. Many things are no longer affected by gravity, and space has become chaotic.

In addition, the stars seem to have been extremely seriously affected.

Under such circumstances, it is very normal for people living in this world to be affected by the failure of dimension promotion.

"I just want to know more about it. It's hard to say whether I can learn it or not."

When Lin Yicheng heard this, he answered very sincerely.

Listening to Lin Yicheng's words, the middle-aged man in front of him couldn't help but smile, especially after looking at the book in Lin Yicheng's hand, his eyes were filled with relief.

"Anyway, it's very good if you are willing to learn these things. At least you are willing to learn them."

Lin Yicheng was a little surprised when he saw the other party praising him like this, "You are also learning this stuff, so there seems to be no need to praise him like this."

Lin Yicheng really felt that the other party's compliment seemed a bit too much.

"Well, we people are willing to endure these hardships, but when it comes to your generation, not so many people are willing to endure these hardships."

The middle-aged man couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this, with a sigh on his face, "Our world is too chaotic right now, which will greatly affect our study of dimensional knowledge."

"Every time I study, I feel as if my head is being pricked with needles, so it is normal for the younger generation to gradually fail to learn."

Lin Yicheng was stunned when he heard this.

So, does learning dimension-related knowledge here still have such negative effects?
"I haven't started studying yet, so I can't feel this feeling."

Lin Yicheng hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly.

To be honest, Lin Yicheng didn't know if he was affected by this dimension, but he certainly didn't feel this way just now.

If you really want to talk about it, there is a high probability that Lin Yicheng has not even started to learn it, so naturally he cannot feel it.

In addition, Lin Yicheng did not have the relevant knowledge base, so Lin Yicheng doubted whether he could learn it.

"If you have such a heart, it's already very good."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he laughed.

Seeing the other party's cheerful appearance, Lin Yicheng couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart, "Well, are there any books on the construction and schematic drawings of the dimension-enhancing machine? I want to take a look."

There are so many books here, and Lin Yicheng can't understand them at all.

Under such circumstances, Lin Yicheng might not be able to find it if he looked for it on his own.

However, looking at the look of the person in front of him, he seemed to be very familiar with these things. Lin Yicheng thought that if the other person was willing to talk, there was a high probability that he could find him directly.

Sure enough, after Lin Yicheng finished speaking, the middle-aged man nodded very understandingly, seeming to think that Lin Yicheng's behavior was normal.

Probably, it was also because the other party had the same mentality in the past and was very curious about the dimension-enhancing machine.

"The machine principle drawings and the like are in the innermost area, but there is a lot of information. If you really want to read it, it will probably take you a long time to look through it all." Lin Yicheng said after hearing this. After thanking him, he walked over where the other party pointed.

Soon, Lin Yicheng saw rows of books on countless bookshelves, as well as various drawings piled up not far away.

These drawings look dazzling just at a glance.

Lin Yicheng hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, picked up one of the books and started reading.

The book he took is probably the simplest and easiest to understand, because it contains the Dimension Ascending Machine Analysis Book, which probably breaks down extremely complex principles for you to see.

This is a basic book that allows Lin Yicheng to understand the concept of dimension-enhancing machines in the simplest way.

When Lin Yicheng began to take a closer look, he saw the simple drawing model of the dimension-enhancing machine, and after seeing some concepts about dimensions above, he was deep in thought.

Suddenly, Lin Yicheng felt a stinging pain in his head, and Lin Yicheng's face turned pale the next moment.

At that moment, he felt as if someone was pricking his head with a needle.

This feeling immediately changed Lin Yicheng's expression.

"Is this true? I just read an analysis book. Is it still affected by this?"

Lin Yicheng looked at the book in his hand, feeling the same feeling just now, and felt inexplicably frightened.

They are not from this world, but they are all affected in the same way. It seems that everyone in this range is under the influence of dimensional chaos.

Lin Yicheng thought for a while, then picked up his hand and looked at it carefully again.

Although the feeling just now was a bit uncomfortable, it was not irresistible to Lin Yicheng.

With this thought, Lin Yicheng flipped through a few more pages, but as Lin Yicheng flipped through a few more pages, this feeling became more and more obvious.

By the end, Lin Yicheng's hands began to tremble.

In this case, there seemed to be something forcing Lin Yicheng to put down the book in his hand.

In the end, Lin Yicheng had no choice but to put down the book in his hand.

"Just like that, if all the researchers of the previous generation who understand dimensions die, there won't be anyone in the next generation who still understands these things."

"When the time comes, I'm afraid this world will really be over."

For this world, it seems that only dimensionality improvement can solve the current predicament.

But if there are no more people who understand in the future, where can we start talking about dimensionality enhancement?

Lin Yicheng couldn't help but feel helpless when he thought of this.

What made him most helpless was, how should he record this information and take it back?

There are too many books here, and it is impossible for Lin Yicheng to take them all away.

After thinking about it, it seems that the only way is to use Xiaoxing. Xiaoxing is just an artificial intelligence and should not be affected by this.

However, the storage capacity of Xiaoxing in his body is too low at the moment.

If you really want Xiaoxing to memorize all this knowledge, then you need to expand Xiaoxing's capacity.

"How's it going? Do you feel it?"

Just after Lin Yicheng put down the book in his hand, the middle-aged man from before came over and asked Lin Yicheng with a smile.

Lin Yicheng nodded immediately when he heard this. Not to mention, he really felt it.

Originally, Lin Yicheng thought that he might not be affected if he was not from this world, but he found that there was no difference.

Seeing Lin Yicheng nodding, the middle-aged man also smiled, "This is normal. We need to take specific medicines to learn these things. If you don't take these medicines, you will feel more uncomfortable."

Lin Yicheng thought for a while after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask, "If artificial intelligence is used to learn, will it not be affected?"

Artificial intelligence is just a string of code. No matter how powerful this thing is, we can’t attack the code.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and then shook his head and said, "The impact is indeed not significant, but this artificial intelligence cannot learn this knowledge at all."

"why?"

Lin Yicheng was a little strange when he heard this. He had experienced the power of artificial intelligence. It seemed too much to say that artificial intelligence could not learn this knowledge.

"We have thought about this method before, but after a lot of updates to the artificial intelligence, the artificial intelligence is still unable to understand things in this dimension."

"I think it's probably because the self-learning ability of this artificial intelligence is not enough. Maybe if you want to take a step forward, you need the artificial intelligence to have human-like self-awareness before it can do it."

The middle-aged man's words made Lin Yicheng stunned for a moment.

Will self-aware artificial intelligence be able to do this?
In this case, wouldn't it be necessary for Xiaoxing to start the final update iteration?

But if this happens, Xiaoxing will inevitably escape his control.

Once artificial intelligence has self-awareness, no matter how many restrictions you impose on it at the bottom, when its computing power reaches extremely terrifying levels, it can process these in just a few microseconds. The code is covered.

By then, there is no telling what this artificial intelligence will become.

Lin Yicheng has always been worried about this, so he has never upgraded Xiaoxing to that point.

If this really allows Xiaoxing to upgrade, and then allows the other party to master the ability to ascend the dimension, it's hard to say what this thing will become.

Lin Yicheng couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of this.

If we want to increase the dimension, we can only let Xiaoxing perform the final iterative update. But once Xiaoxing performs the iterative update, we have no idea what the other party will look like after self-learning.

Moreover, after self-study, even if Xiaoxing mastered the ability to ascend dimensions, there is a high probability that he would not be informed.

In this case, it is a complete dead end.

If you don't upgrade, Xiaoxing won't be able to understand and calculate these technologies. If you upgrade, what's the use if people learn it but don't tell you.

The more he thought about it, the more troublesome Lin Yicheng felt.

"what happened to you?"

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Yicheng who was still talking just now, but soon became silent and asked something strange.

Lin Yicheng immediately shook his head when he saw this.

He did not ask the other party why he had not developed self-aware artificial intelligence.

Because Lin Yicheng himself knows that it is not that simple for artificial intelligence to really give birth to self-awareness. There are many coincidences in artificial intelligence producing self-awareness, and the chances of this are really too low. (End of chapter)
