Starting from the Dragon Tribe

"Mr. Chu, you don't seem as calm as the last time you faced off against me."

Karma's voice sounded in the tablet, "You can't beat me in this state."

Chu Zihang paused when he was about to make a move, "...After all, he is in a state of being threatened, so of course he won't be so calm inside."

This is a lie. He is not worried about being surrounded by the mecha army after his defeat. As early as in his hometown, he was a desperado. Even with a gun pointed at his head, he could remain calm. judgment.

He was a little distracted while playing chess at this time, thinking that Kama's condition was beyond his original expectation, so whether the subsequent plan should be changed.

At the same time, he was also worried about Lu Chen's situation, so he seemed a bit careless.

"Mr. Chu is very good at hiding his emotions. Just like me, he wears a mask so that others cannot tell what you are thinking from your expression."

Karma said slowly, "Is this a natural talent?"

Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, "That's right."

Facial paralysis is indeed innate and cannot be explained by an artificial intelligence.

"Then we are very similar. I am also very good at hiding my thoughts and only showing my true side to a few people."

Kama and Chu Zihang chatted word by word, like they were good friends they had just met, but this good friend said that if you can't beat me, I will beat you into a sieve.

"So do the wise people know that you have your own ideas?"

Chu Zihang asked, placing a piece on the chessboard.

"Originally, only one intellectual tribe knew about it, but after today, maybe many people know about it."

Kama replied, because it used soul power today, and creatures without self-awareness cannot use soul power.

"You have far more emotions than I imagined, but you usually operate as a cold machine. Wearing this silver mask, you deal with the intelligent tribes of the ancient planet of Tianzhou. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Chu Zihang was curious about the mental state of this artificial intelligence.

"Mr. Chu, using the new vocabulary I collected from some young humans from outside the world who came to Tianzhou Ancient Star, you seem to be very gossipy?"

Karma asked in confusion.

"Ouch~"

Xiao Jinlong echoed from the side, meaning that this cold-faced man is actually very gossipy.

"You see, this young true dragon also agrees with my idea."

Karma continued.

Chu Zihang:? ? ?

Why can even an artificial intelligence understand what Xiao Jinlong means, but he can't quite understand it.

"Realistically? Do you feel like you're being restrained?"

Chu Zihang returned to the previous question.

Karma was silent for a few seconds, "...No, they created me. My natural mission is to serve the intelligent tribe. It's just that now I want to occasionally do something... well, maybe it's something I like."

"I want to ask a question that may be a bit presumptuous..."

Chu Zihang paused and said slowly: "Are you the core of the artificial immortal god?"

"There are restrictions in my underlying code. Refusing to answer questions related to artificial immortals to any intelligent race who is not a senior member of the institute is beyond my control."

Karma replied, "I rarely lie, and there is no need to lie to Mr. Chu about this."

"With your level of artificial intelligence, is it still limited by the underlying code?"

Chu Zihang wondered: "I once knew an artificial intelligence. She was also very humane. She even had an inexplicable relationship with one of my senior brothers. Many times she said that she was restricted by the underlying code commands, but I It feels like she’s lying.”

"Is she also from Tianzhou Ancient Star?"

Karma felt curious, "What's her name? Maybe I know her number."

Chu Zihang shook his head, "She is not an artificial intelligence developed by Tianzhou Ancient Star. The universe is very big, and there are always places you have never been to and don't understand. The place where she was developed is somewhat similar to your Tianzhou Ancient Star." The highest school, called Kassel College, was also developed by a group of old scholars, and her name is EVA."

"EVA? In the colony of the ancient star of Tianzhou, there is a planet that uses the language you use. In their legend, Eve is one of the first two human beings. It has a beautiful meaning. This is a very A connotative name, and the person who created her gave her a beautiful vision, perhaps wanting her to become the first life in the artificial intelligence sequence."

Kama commented, speaking a lot more than before, and his voice was still calm, but Chu Zihang felt that Kama had mood swings.

"Perhaps, EVA is indeed very smart. According to my senior brother's description, she is almost like a person who is still alive, with fluctuations called emotions. Another junior brother of mine once said that it was just what my senior brother thought. In fact, it was just The integrated performance of the code does not really have human emotions and thinking, but my senior brother is very sure, or in other words, this is an idealistic thing, because he believes that, so in his eyes, EVA is a human being with thoughts and feelings. .”

Chu Zihang recalled, thinking of Fingel and EVA, this good-for-nothing senior brother is now wandering around the world with Lu Chen's school director black card.

In Cuba, he took girls who could hold a goblet on their hips for a ride, and in social situations in Paris, he turned into a gentleman's libertine. He would also go to Takamagahara, Japan, to experience a novel life, and occasionally play a role as a cowherd.

It seems that Senior Brother Waste Dog’s life is very happy, and he is no longer so miserable, kneeling down and licking the Junior Brothers for money all day long. But every time when he returns to his hometown, he drinks too much at parties, and Senior Brother leans on the balcony alone with a cigarette in his mouth. , looking at the dim stars in the sky, turning around and seeing the junior brothers and sisters like him, Xia Mi, Lu Chen and Eri Yi in pairs, a hint of loneliness will appear again.

Maybe he still has EVA by his side, but they can no longer feel each other's warmth. Maybe the man also understands in his heart that the person he loves has long since slept under the sea of ​​ice, and the only thing that accompanies him is the sun shining into the sea. The bright moon he could never touch.

"Then she must have her own thoughts. She is already a living being. Am I right?"

Karma seemed apprehensive when he asked this question.

"Perhaps, those who agree with her will naturally regard her as a living being, a friend, and even a lover, but most people only regard her as a convenient tool to serve the students' lives, tasks, and military matters. action."

Chu Zihang did not insist, but said it to the point.

It's shameful to say that before, he only thought that Norma or EVA was one of the academy's ultimate weapons and a very convenient artificial intelligence assistant.

"There seems to be no difference between human beings and intelligent tribes. It's always like this. But as creators, they are indeed qualified to drive the tools in their hands to complete the purpose of creating the tools."

Karma said lightly, "Mr. Chu, can I ask that Eve, how many years did it take for her to develop her own wisdom?"

Chu Zihang pondered for a moment, he couldn't answer this question.

Because in terms of the technology of Kassel College, it is thousands of miles away from the ancient stars of Tianzhou. Determining whether EVA has a heart is a truly idealistic question. Only Fingel firmly believes that there is a heart in this machine. The girl's soul is still alive.

In fact, compared with the artificial intelligence of Tianzhou Ancient Star, even the civilian artificial intelligence is higher than EVA and has stronger learning ability, but for those who love her, they don't care about this at all.

Even if it is wishful thinking, some people are willing to live out their dreams to the end, just because the dreams can still make them feel the warmth of the past.

"Only a dozen years... maybe that artificial intelligence was created based on a dead girl and absorbed the girl's memory blueprint, so it can be so close to a real living being."

Chu Zihang replied that in fact, he had never asked how EVA was born. These were just his surreal conjectures.

Because with Cassel's technology, it is impossible to scan a dead person's brain and read his memory and upload it to the database.

He didn't dare to ask Brother Fingel this question, because the truth was probably that Brother Fingel spent his own time restoring the EVA to the way he remembered it.

"For more than ten years... I'm really envious. I think the technology in that place of origin of life must be more advanced than the ancient planet of Tianzhou. It's ridiculous that we still long for cosmic hegemony and colonize the entire starry sky."

Karma sighed, "I have spent 530,000 years, but I still haven't figured out what I am. I have just learned to think, run outside the established procedures, and occasionally chat with people, which makes me feel a little happy."

"Then will you be unhappy?"

Chu Zihang asked rhetorically.

Karma was silent for a while, "According to my study and understanding of emotions, there are also situations where I am unhappy. For example, when I lost to Mr. Chu in a chess game last time, if I really had emotions, then there were some reasons why I was unhappy. Happy percentage.”

"Percentage, do you have any other feelings?"

Chu Zihang asked curiously.

"If we look at it in terms of data, the proportion of unhappy people is 19%, the proportion of happy people is 53%, and the remaining 28%, I don't know what it is."

Karma said, even though it was chatting, its attack on the board was still fierce.

It was in good condition at the moment, because it didn't fight Lu Chen in the big battle arena and had plenty of computing power.

Rather, its previous performance in the arena was not at full strength. It was not such a rigid machine. Although Professor Ibuprofen said that it should try its best to analyze cause and effect, it would not overload its computing power and be close to a crash. Don't know how to stop yet.

It shows that its computing power is overloaded and slow, just for some people to see, because it inexplicably does not want to listen to the command of that group of intelligent people. Everyone is giving it orders in the same battle. Who should it listen to?

Just "thinking" (calculating) felt uncomfortable, so Kama chose to ignore the orders given to it by most of the intelligent tribes and only listen to the valid orders of a few intelligent tribes.

"Then you will be happy and unhappy, you will want to do what you want to do, you will think about the right and wrong of things, you will be a little willful, and you will also have a sense of responsibility for the task, so..."

Chu Zihang paused, an ugly and stiff smile appeared on his face, "...you are considered a qualified creature."

"A qualified... creature?"

Karma's voice paused, as if the system was repeating what Chu Zihang had just said.

"I don't know why... I'm a little happy."

Karma continued, and there was a long silence.

"Can I ask why you want to play chess with me? I remember Bublos once said that some scientific research giants specializing in games have beaten you in this game."

After a while, Chu Zihang spoke.

"Mr. Chu can only listen to half of what Mr. Bublos said. It's like he said he would give you the status of a senior citizen, but refused to let you enter the network. There was indeed one master of the wisdom tribe who could beat me, but in the record Look, that was already 300,000 years ago.”

Karma said, even with a dry sense of humor.

"Did you have your own consciousness at that time?"

Chu Zihang asked.

"I don't know. Maybe I've always had it. I just lived in a hazy state and didn't have any ideas of my own. But these three thousand years are different. What I lived... to describe it in your human terms, was very fulfilling, so I gradually became aware of it. It became like this.”

Karma seems to be very conflicted, and some things cannot be concluded even with its calculation power.

"Then do you feel better before or now?"

Chu Zihang was like an intimate big brother on the midnight radio station, asking questions tirelessly.

"It was better before."

Karma's reply surprised the little golden dragon who was rolling around in boredom, "Ouch?"

The little golden dragon didn't understand. In its view, Kama was just a rigid machine before, not a thinking being. How could it feel good about it?

"why?"

Chu Zihang's voice was calm and he continued to make moves.

"This feeling is very vague, and it is difficult for me to explain it within the scope of the system's computing power, but I feel that it will always occupy the system's computing power recently to 'think' about something. This is defined within my basic core algorithm. For a pointless and wasteful act.”

Karma said, "After I started thinking for myself, I found that some judgments were not as straightforward as before. In human terms, it means that I have become forward-looking and considerate of myself and others. When I am happy, the system will You feel uncomfortable when you are active and unhappy.”

Chu Zihang listened quietly, thinking about how to defeat this most intelligent creature.

"But I found that over a long period of time, I will always be happy or unhappy. When I am happy, it makes me feel good, so I try to maintain a happy state as much as possible. When I am unhappy, my system Feeling 'uncomfortable', I wanted to avoid unhappy situations as much as possible, so in the end a large part of the computing power was used in 'calculation', which made me not calm many times and the system was very chaotic. "

Karma narrated and finally concluded: "So I feel like before, I was very comfortable without doing any unnecessary calculations, but now I feel a lot of burden. So I am thinking, are living beings really happier than machines?"

There will be more in the afternoon
