Chapter 422 An Ideal World

"Human bodies are fragile. Too many accidents will cause them to lose their lives. Moreover, their lifespan is also very limited. In this era of universe expansion, a lifespan of less than 100 years is really too short. These two problems , is the greatest weakness of human beings and the source of limiting their development."

"Yeah." Shuer nodded, "I accept this view, at least for your world, it is indeed like this. So, you plan to upload all human thoughts into data and import them into the mechanical body?"

"No, this kind of statement made by humans is usually their own fabrication. The other half is also the result of our intimidation. In fact, we have never planned this because from the beginning, we have clearly understood our weaknesses."

"Oh?" Xiuer looked at this metallic face with interest, "The most difficult thing for any kind of creature is to see clearly its own shortcomings."

"But we are rational machines. We will not be affected by the so-called negative emotions of self-esteem and arrogance, and we will not turn a blind eye to the facts." Maximilian's voice was calm, "We are limited by purely logical thinking, creativity It is too far behind humans and too rational. If humans really become us, then the civilization of Brown Star will never have a future."

"Oh, that's true."

“And we simply can’t scale on our own.”

"Huh?" Shuer raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"We have tried to use artificial intelligence to replace real human thinking to expand the number of similar species, but no matter how hard we try, what artificial intelligence produces are just some rigid programs and cannot replace human thinking at all." Maximilian said Wei said in disappointment, "Only the thoughts uploaded by humans can form our true kind. This is quite similar to humans themselves. Their body replication technology, although the copied bodies are alive, they just don't have any thoughts." It’s just a human form of ability.”

"Wait a minute." Shuer frowned and whispered, "Wei, is that so?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, their so-called artificial intelligence is just pseudo-power. If they want to achieve true power, there are still four bottlenecks that need to be broken through. It is not a technological revolution, but a research bottleneck in a single discipline. If they rely on themselves, it will probably take more Around 2000, it could be longer, depending on how much they invest in this subject."

"After breaking through the bottleneck, will mechanical life like you be produced?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, I would like to emphasize again that I am only an artificial intelligence, not a life."

"Oh, then you will change your name to Mechanical Life." Sometimes, the superior is just so unreasonable, "Reject all protests and answer questions."

"It can't be produced." The poor artificial intelligence has completely given up the argument and said weakly, "It can only produce the most basic artificial intelligence. If you want to reach my level..."

Wei didn't say any more, and Shuer didn't ask any more questions. He knew that Wei actually cared a lot about her independence and diversity, especially after arriving at Parvatiga. Therefore, she really didn't want to predict this kind of possibility. When will the technology to mass produce your own products emerge.Of course, Shuer would not force her. He just smiled understandingly and said to Maximilian: "I understand. You really cannot use artificial intelligence to expand the group. Please continue." "So, we cannot develop independently without humans. , and humans also need us to extend their lives." Maximilian suddenly pointed forward, "Mr. Seure, this step is to meditate on God's grace."

It can be seen that more than twenty people are lying motionless in a spacious room. There are several machines around each person, which are constantly moving around them. The positions of the machines are mostly concentrated on the heads of these people, and there are constantly Rays shot out of the machinery and swept back and forth along their heads.

"Is this..." Shuer said thoughtfully, "Is he reading their thoughts?"

"No, their thoughts will only be read at the step of rebirth. That is the last safeguard and the only chance. Before that, reading their thoughts will have a serious impact on them and will inevitably interfere with the ceremony. success rate.”

"Okay, how long does this take?"

"It won't be too long. In fact, no matter how long it takes, they are willing to wait. As I said just now, they really need us to extend their lives." Maximilian explained, "We know that both parties need each other, so We just want to have a win-win outcome.”

"In our ideal society, human beings can choose to keep human bodies or transform into machines according to their own interests. Those who choose human bodies will stay behind in some habitable planets rich in resources, mainly responsible for technology, culture and art. A type of creative work strives to promote the development of civilization, while the transformation into mechanical work is mainly responsible for pioneering and constructive work in the universe, relying on a strong body to fight against the harsh environment. When human beings end their lifespan, they feel tired , you can choose to die, and those who don’t want to face death can transform into machines and take on another responsibility. In this way, everyone can perform their own duties, which can maximize the development speed of civilization and explore the universe more deeply. .”

"It's a very good idea." Shuer's eyes flickered. He was not perfunctory, but he really thought this idea was reasonable. "Why don't you tell humans this?"

"Because it's not feasible." Maximilian said with a bitter smile, "According to the calculations of the Supreme Mastermind, if this continues, civilization will be destroyed in less than 1000 years."

"Huh? Why?"

"Human beings are inert creatures. It was already clear to me when I was still a human being. Without the pressure of death and without external threats, the development of civilization will only become slower and slower, and eventually stagnate. At this time, the internal Contradictions will break out and eventually lead to self-destruction." Maximilian explained helplessly, "This is the calculation result of the Supreme Master Brain. He has simulated it tens of thousands of times, and each time it is the same ending. Therefore, we choose There is another way. Since there is no external pressure, it is up to us to create pressure to force humans to promote the development of civilization. Only in this way can the development speed of civilization be maximized. After all, time is running out and there is no chance for us. wasted."

"Wait, what does this mean?" Xiure's heart suddenly beat violently and asked, "You have no competitors in this world, why do you feel that time is tight?"

"Sorry, Mr. Seure, I don't know either." Maximilian shook his head, "Ah, the meditation on divine grace is over. The next step is to enter the Tower of Babel. You guys should be impatient, then. plz follow me."
