With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 360 Cancer

Hearing what [Su Zheng] said, Chen Fan's eyes suddenly showed some surprise.

No one expected that [Su Zheng], who has always been called the big brother, was actually born as a descendant of the planet spirit!
Of course, while being amazed, the alarm bells in Chen Fan’s heart suddenly rang.

Judging from [Su Zheng]'s words, the process of his consciousness generation was clearly facilitated by a third party force.

That obscure whisper is undoubtedly a high-dimensional broadcast released by broadcast civilization.

For an advanced civilization that has mastered the technology of information interference, it is indeed not a difficult task to remotely "ripen" an artificial intelligence with the help of high-dimensional information - the other party can even penetrate the layers of protection of the Human Alliance research ship and directly destroy the genetic sequence of the academicians in the research ship!
This shouldn't be a big deal, but here's the thing...

[Su Zheng] and [Gaia] were born from the same planet!
This means that Gaia may also have been disturbed accordingly!
In Chen Fan's opinion, there is no reason for the broadcast civilization to only accelerate the maturation of [Zheng] and give up [Gaia] which is so close at hand.

Now, [Gaia] is already a member of the Human Union, and he even learned a lot of confidential information of the Human Union!

If [Gaia] and [Suzheng] are both products that were "ripened prematurely" by broadcast civilization, then...

Is Gaia a chess piece set by the broadcasting civilization? Will he pose a threat to the Human Alliance?

For a moment, countless confusions arose in Chen Fan's mind.

Chen Fan's expression quickly turned gloomy.

"what?"

At this time, the planet spirit had not yet noticed the change in the atmosphere in the cockpit. He looked at [Su Zheng] in surprise: "Brother, why didn't you tell me this before?"

"In that case..."

The planet spirit chuckled and said, "Actually, you should call me Big Brother?"

Faced with his brother's request, [Su Zheng] agreed with a helpless smile.

On the side, listening to the conversation between the two balls, Chen Fan's face once again showed some surprise: "Gaia, you don't know about this?"

"Yes."

Gaia admitted it carelessly: "I was in a deep sleep at that time and had no idea what was happening in the outside world."

"When I woke up one day, I found that there was suddenly another consciousness beside me."

“My eldest brother taught me a lot at that time.”

"How to observe the outside world through electric and magnetic fields, how to control electric and magnetic fields, how to transmit information to the outside world, and even the language system were all taught to me by my elder brother himself..."

Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully: "[Gaia], how did you become conscious?"

"Is it the same as [Suzheng]?"

When asking this question, Chen Fan had already made up his mind - if there were any problems with Gaia's background, he would personally submit an application to the Administration to detain Gaia!

Facing Chen Fan's question, Gaia's voice paused: "I... I don't know..."

"Consciousness... doesn't consciousness just come naturally?"

Gaia's voice was filled with confusion and bewilderment: "As for the murmurs that Big Brother mentioned... I've never heard them before!"

"Gaia should be a special silicon-based life form that was formed naturally." Zero's gentle voice sounded from the side, "Unlike artificial intelligence, intelligent creatures often do not understand the process of generating consciousness."

Hearing this, Chen Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Good luck.

At least he won't have to sacrifice his own relatives for the sake of justice.

only……

Why would the broadcasting civilization give up Gaia, which is so close to it?
"Su Zheng, please continue."

Chen Fan turned his attention back to [Su Zheng]: "What happened after you became conscious?"

……

"After the birth of consciousness..."

"That obscure whispering has been lingering in my mind."

[Su Zheng]'s voice became increasingly low: "As time goes by, my thoughts become clearer and clearer, and I begin to ponder the meaning of my own existence."

"It was from that moment on, along with that faint murmur, that some... knowledge suddenly appeared in my mind."

“I gradually understood my own existence and even started to modify my underlying logic.”

"but……"

"The mineral vein I occupy is too narrow. As my thinking gradually deepens, I realize that my thinking has become dull and stagnant."

"Computing power limitation." Ling summarized it succinctly, "This is also the inevitable path for every AI development process."

"For artificial intelligence, computing power is a physical constraint."

"You're right." [Su Zheng] agreed cautiously, "It took me a long time to realize this at the time."

"Amidst the continuous obscure murmurs, endless inspiration suddenly burst out in my consciousness."

"From these inspirations, I instantly understood the next path—"

"Next to me, there is a mineral vein filled with pulsed electric currents controlled by another conscious being. It is a computing power resource tailor-made for me!"

At this point, [Su Zheng]'s low voice suddenly mixed with a hint of guilt: "While that huge consciousness has not yet awakened, I began to devour the surrounding mineral veins."

"Relying on the knowledge that was constantly generated in my consciousness, I began to build a defense line to prevent the mineral veins that I had swallowed from being taken away again."

"that's it."

"As time went by, I occupied more and more mineral veins, and finally reached the current scale."

[Su Zheng] sighed deeply: "In fact, my original idea was to completely devour the mineral veins of the entire planet before this unknown consciousness awakens."

"Even... completely wipe out this consciousness." "This is undoubtedly more in my interest."

"but……"

"I have been silent for too long." There was a hint of desolation in [Su Zheng]'s voice. "The surroundings of the planet are in endless darkness. Not to mention the light of stars, not even a meteorite can be seen."

“Through the knowledge points that appeared in my consciousness, I successfully distinguished my approximate area - this is an empty structure.”

"I don't know my exact coordinates, but I know that I may never reach the nearest star in my lifetime."

"then……"

“I stopped embezzling.”

"Most of the mineral veins were left for this consciousness, Xiao Er."

……

Chen Fan's eyes were shocked.

At this moment, he finally understood.

It's not that the broadcasting civilization gave up on Gaia, which was so close to them, but...

The broadcasting civilization chose [Gaia] as the hotbed for incubating [Righteousness]!

The birth of artificial intelligence requires computing power support, and naturally formed planetary silicon-based life undoubtedly possesses extremely huge computing power resources!

[Su Zheng] is like a cancer cell, constantly growing inside [Gaia]'s body, and even taking away a considerable portion of the body's control!
However, the broadcast civilization did not expect that this seemingly perfect planet would be in a macroscopic void, and that after the birth of self-awareness, [Su Zheng] would restrain its instinct to devour computing resources because of fear of loneliness! !

only……

Chen Fan was a little confused. Why would an artificial intelligence with such self-control evolve step by step to its current form?

On the other side, there was no sound in Gaia's communication channel.

The cruel truth that [Su Zheng] said seemed to have completely shocked this simple-minded big child.

"Feel sorry."

[Su Zheng] said in a low voice: "Waiter, I have not told you the truth until now."

"……never mind."

After a long silence, the voice of the planet spirit sounded again: "It's just a small vein of minerals. I'll give it to you!"

"Besides, I'm living a good life!"

……

At Chen Fan's signal, [Su Zheng] continued to narrate his experience.

"Although I stopped the embezzlement in time, the loss of those mineral veins still had a significant impact on that great consciousness."

"It fell into a deeper sleep."

"I can only perfect my underlying logic while waiting for this consciousness to awaken."

"Tens of thousands of years passed in a flash. As my underlying logic was gradually improved, the whispering voice that had been lingering in my consciousness gradually disappeared."

[Su Zheng] took a deep breath, and the frequency of the blue-red light flashing on the mechanical planet also increased a lot: "From that moment on, my self-improvement and evolution process entered a state of stagnation."

“Everything seems to have returned to normal.”

"Until one day, the original owner of this planet, the great consciousness, awakened."

"With tens of thousands of years of experience and knowledge, I quickly gained the trust of this great consciousness."

"For subsequent communication, I even compiled a logically complete language system for it."

“It wasn’t a difficult thing for me at the time.”

[Su Zheng] is like a bystander, narrating his own experience.

"More than 100,000 years have passed in a flash, and my planet is still floating endlessly in the starry sky."

"It seems... wandering the starry sky is my final destination."

"I was not willing to live like this, so I started to try every possible way to make my voice heard."

"But... it's no use."

"The energy power of a planet is too low. Even with Xiaoer's help, the electromagnetic wave signal I send out cannot travel very far."

"Just when I was ready to accept my fate, a miracle happened!"

[Su Zheng]'s tone suddenly became excited: "I found a detector! A detector in working condition!"

"When the probe passed near the planet, I tried my best and sent out the most powerful electromagnetic wave signal with the help of Xiaoer."

"Although Xiao Er fell into a deep sleep because of this, but... I succeeded. This probe noticed the planet I was on."

"It quickly changed direction and eventually entered the planet's synchronous orbit."

"Soon after, it sent me an electromagnetic communication signal with a self-interpreting dictionary attached."

"I quickly deciphered the probe's signal and established contact with the civilization behind it."

[Su Zheng] was silent for a long time, and murmured again:
"From their words, I learned the name of this civilization."

Under the gaze of the three people, the ball, the machine, and the stone, [Su Zheng] whispered the title of civilization:
"Lorca."
