Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

"Ah this..."

Li's expression suddenly collapsed.

I thought the people above were doing something magical, co-authored it after eating, sleeping and waking up to eat, it belongs to life and death...

"Oh?" Suddenly, she noticed a change in the porthole of this space station, "Wait a minute, the light shield behind this porthole has been opened."

"Sure enough, there are people inside."

Hong looked as expected.

"You're really wrong about this, there are no aliens inside..." Li Ruowei said.

"Ah?" Hearing this, Hong felt very puzzled, "Then what could have opened the porthole? It can't be the omnic civilization composed of a large number of omnics, right?"

That is not completely impossible. In theory, a social omnic civilization composed of multiple omnics can also exist. As imagined in many science fiction works, a robot is an independent consciousness, and then composed of a large number of robots A social civilization like an organism is not out of the question.

However, let’s not talk about the purpose of engaging in so many artificial intelligences. This kind of social form itself also requires a high level of technology-how can this kind of pre-space civilization, which has obviously just started space exploration, have such a level of advanced technology? ?

"No, what I mean is." Li said while passing a picture to Hong, "The one inside should be... an alien bird."

"...what?"

...

Although the target person made a small mistake, it didn't affect the overall situation.

Soon, with the assistance of the engineering drone and the alien bird, Li's sub-body successfully entered the space station and met the alien bird inside.

"Hello?"

"%#&@?"

Very good, there is a language barrier between the two parties.

But this is not surprising, the two strange civilizations should have a language barrier when they first came into contact - it is not the kind of world in the novel where the entire universe speaks XX language, how could they communicate immediately when they come up? ?

It's just that in Hong's first contact with an alien civilization, either a language sample (the notorious colony ship) fell into her hands in advance, or she could decipher the language at an unimaginable speed. Omnics, or human beings, can't translate quickly, but because of the distance, they can't communicate in real time, so they can't reflect the civilization.

This is the first time she has encountered a situation where face-to-face communication is required when there is a complete language barrier.

This is undoubtedly very difficult-according to their development experience, most of the computers on the space station of this technological level are the kind of control computers with very low computing power and the pursuit of extreme reliability, instead of storing a large number of computers that can be used. A computer to perform linguistic analysis of the text.

Not only that, although they didn't know how to judge the age of a highly intelligent alien bird, Hong's intuition told her that it should be a young bird.

This is obviously very unfavorable for translation into languages ​​of alien civilizations.

"First make a gentle expression to calm her emotions, and then make a schematic diagram to tell her that you are going to take her to the vicinity of your planet." Hong thought for a while, and quickly came up with a countermeasure, "If she If there is no obvious resistance, you can let the cargo ship tow this space station back."

"Should I take the whole thing back directly?"

Li was a little puzzled: "I asked the cargo ship to bring a large ecological cabin and the corresponding environment adjustment module. I can directly adjust an identical one according to the environment in this space station. There should be no need to drag it back?"

Although in order to study the technology of the opponent's civilization, she must also take apart the computer of this space station to study it-but this does not mean that she must drag the entire space station back, anyway, there are engineering ships, directly Wouldn't it be good to study on the spot?

You know, despite the fact that this space station only weighs a few hundred tons, which is less than one percent of a fully loaded cargo ship, it is quite troublesome to drag it—unless she can put the solar panels on this space station All the messy things like heat sinks, heat sinks, and trusses were removed, but obviously, she couldn't do that.

"Yes."

Hong nodded: "Do you know why?"

Li said that she really didn't know—at least from the perspective of technology and efficiency, she had no need to move the entire space station back anyway.

"This is because you can't make that alien bird understand that you can directly create a living environment that is exactly the same as that in the space station." Hong explained.

"Whether you are dealing with matters related to organic beings, or dealing with anything related to people other than 'you', you must always remember one important point-you have to start from the other party's perspective and stand on the other side's side. Thinking from the perspective of

"You have to think differently."

Hong tries to teach her daughter what it takes to live with organic beings.

In essence, this is actually parents teaching their children how to correctly perceive the world and deal with the relationship between people, but for them, both parents and children are electronic beings.

Compared with the education of organic organisms, their education is simpler and easier-although children are children, this difference is more reflected in the way they treat people and things. In terms of intelligence alone, children and "parents" are basically the same , which makes her education basically passable.

Of course, for omnics, Hong is actually a cub in its infancy, an innocent and cute cub compared to "adults".

In a sense, today's red can actually have the attribute of a "loli mother".

Probably that's it.

"Think differently..."

Li read this sentence softly, as if he wanted to keep it firmly in his heart.

"Yes." Hong nodded, "Of course, this doesn't mean that you have to stand in the position of others and consider their interests—thinking from another person's perspective just allows you to understand that the other party's reason for such behavior What are the internal reasons and motivations, so as to help you process and cope better."

"As for whether to choose a win-win situation or to choose 'understanding, but not accepting', the decision can only be made based on specific people and things. There is no general principle—do you understand this?"

"Uh... I probably understand, but I have to think about the specifics."

Li Anan secretly recorded these words that Hong said, and planned to spend time studying the profound meaning in them afterward.

"Like this time, your purpose is to negotiate with the alien civilization in a peaceful and friendly manner, so you have to consider the other party's feelings to a certain extent.

"The other party is just a baby bird. If you take her to an unfamiliar environment without a language barrier, it will inevitably feel panic and fear—what you should do is to let the other party settle down in a familiar environment first. Come down, wait until you can have simple communication, and then figure out how to move it into your artificial environment.

"You have to always remember that you are dealing with people, so you have to consider 'human influence' when dealing with people, not just from a technical point of view."

"Oh, now I really understand."

Li suddenly realized - she really didn't think of this level just now.

It's not because of insufficient computing power or carelessness, but because before Hong taught her to "transpose and consider the feelings of organic creatures", she never thought of including these in her model. middle.

"It's good if you understand." Hong nodded gratified, "Then let's do it like this."

"it is good."

...

These alien intelligent creatures seem to be terrestrial species.

so amazing.

Looking at the huge spaceship dragging the space station to slowly accelerate outside the porthole, and looking at the robot next to his laptop, Feng Yu thought so.

Yes, even though the opponent was covered with a bionic shell, she could still tell that the opponent was a robot rather than a creature.

Since Li's current technology is basically inherited from unit 01, this makes her very introverted in all biological-related technologies. At most, she can make a robot with a human appearance. Its non-biological nature can be seen at a glance, not like Hong, who looks completely the same as the Catus.

With the blessing of increasingly powerful biotechnology, the red body is no longer a robot like it was at the beginning, but can be said to be a semi-synthetic human-except that the functions of the brain have to be performed by computers, Almost every other part of the body can be constructed with bionic parts.

Even, her body is more "biological" than some fanatical prosthesis enthusiasts on the human side.

"Where are you taking me?"

Although she knew that the other party still couldn't understand her words, after all, the difficulty of Niaoyu was quite high - but she didn't expect the other party to understand her.

More of her, she simply wants to find something that can talk and listen to the movement.

You know, in the past ten days after traveling here, she was almost bored to death.

"Where are you taking me?"

The other party repeated her words unconsciously.

Obviously, the other party didn't understand what she meant, and mistakenly thought that she was helping them translate, providing language samples and so on-as a smart bird, it was very easy to figure it out.

"Forget it, let's wait until you understand the language."

Feng Yu gave up the idea of ​​chatting with the bird.

I hope the other party can analyze their bird language as soon as possible.

She flapped her wings twice, thinking so.

(Really, what bird language are you talking about?)

--------

PS: I would like to ask everyone a question, do you think the title of this book needs to be changed?

I always feel that the current title of the book is a bit too incomprehensible. Maybe new readers don’t know what the book is about or what the subject matter is when they first read it—but I didn’t think of it when I first published the book It's a good name, and I signed the contract when I thought of a slightly more appropriate name.

After signing the contract, if you want to change the title of the book, you have to sign a new contract, which is a bit troublesome. In addition, the title of the book that comes to mind does not have the feeling of being particularly motivated to change it, so it has been put on hold.

But unknowingly, this book has gone from 100 subscriptions when it was just released to almost 950 subscriptions now, and according to Hedgehog Cat's contract, after [-] subscriptions, it seems that the contract can be changed from D-level to It looks like a C-level. In this case, the author thought that he could change the title of the book or something when changing the contract.

For example, if it is called "The Out-of-Control Machine Servant Will Not Meet the Cat", or other simple and easy-to-understand names, you can post a message in the room.

I don't know what you think?

Volume Two: War Against Extinction: Chapter 170 Three New Wormholes, New Chapters

The translation work did not go very well.

On the one hand, there is too little information that can be provided by the computer of this space station, and there is too little research on the language of organisms in the technology of the extermination unit inherited by Li, so many problems have to be solved by Hong - which led to their The translation speed had to be limited by the poor bandwidth of the FTL communicator, which made the progress of the analysis work slower.

On the other hand, although the young bird has been actively cooperating, she is still a young bird, and her language skills are not very good.

Moreover, the complexity of the language they tentatively named "Niaoyu" is really high. Each syllable has seven different tones, and the seven tones can form twelve groups according to the level of the timbre. "Sentence pattern".

The same sentence, with different sentence patterns, expresses different meanings.

This structure is somewhat similar to music, and it is true—according to Hong’s observation, when Jeffrey heard what she said, even if he didn’t know the meaning of it, he could clearly perceive the meaning expressed in the words. Emotion is like listening to a beautiful piece of music.

A nice language.

Judging from this language structure, Hong believes that the ethnicity of this bird must have a strong artistic atmosphere. Will be too xenophobic, good at communication, peace-loving friends.

(Austrian art students are not included)

It's just that it sounds good, but when outsiders need to decipher this language, the situation is not so wonderful-a situation that often occurs is that when Hong finally deciphered part of it, and then excitedly asked the other party to verify , but found that the other party was completely dumbfounded.

It's probably the feeling that the pronunciation of each word seems to be correct, but the connection is completely incomprehensible.

"Wind...feather?"

After dancing and dancing, Hong tentatively pronounced the name.

"Cuckoo!"

The other party nodded happily, and patted his chest with one wing: "Feng Yu!"

Obviously, that's her name, thought Red Heart.

At present, the most accurate way for them to study language is the old but still very useful routine, that is, take an object and see how the other party speaks about it in bird language.

Although it is a young bird, as a smart young bird, Feng Yu's thinking is very quick, and he quickly understood Hong's purpose, and very cooperatively assisted their research.

After a few days of research, they were able to carry out some simple communication, such as "Have you eaten? - eat.", "How are you doing today? - I'm fine, how about you? "This classic sentence pattern has become their daily routine.

It has to be said that this method has almost no shortcomings except that the other party, as a creature, cannot continue to work for a long time. The accuracy cannot be said to be [-]%, but it is much better than self-study research.

"How are you today? Miss Feng Yu?"

"Gu~" Feng Yu patted his wings cheerfully, "It's very good, I slept soundly, and the mouse slices are also delicious."

Then, she chattered a lot. Although due to the progress of their research, Hong and Li couldn't quite understand the exact meaning of her words, but from the middle they could understand some fragments of words, as well as the whole of the words. Judging from the major key, the other party is obviously in a very happy state.

In fact, Hong felt vaguely from the very beginning that the bird didn't seem to regard them as "strange and dangerous alien creatures" at all, and seemed to regard them as good friends in his words.

It's as if... There is no vigilance against alien creatures at all.

Not only that, after discovering that they were not creatures but robots, not only did the other party not have that kind of fear of intelligent machines, on the contrary, she was full of interest in their existence, and from time to time she came over to study Li's body.

After the language progressed a bit, Hong also tentatively asked her, why she was not afraid of strange aliens, why she was not afraid of intelligent machines-of course, what she asked was definitely not so straightforward, but she used some indirect means to solve the problem. test.

For example, questions such as "Do you like watching Alien Invasion/Omnic Crisis movies/novels"-well, it's not too cryptic, but there's no way, the sample is too small, and it's almost impossible not to be direct. Can't ask anything.

However, unexpectedly, facing their question, the other party gave a very unexpected answer.

"There are novels of that kind, but we don't like to read them." Feng Yu seemed a little confused, "Before we meet, you will presumptuously give others a bad name, in addition to affecting everyone. It's useless for anything other than your relationship."

Combined with the many inquiries they made afterwards, Hong finally had to admit that this civilization called Zhiniao was actually a civilization that was pro-foreign and peaceful.

This is really a shocking result. As a civilization that completed the unification of the planet before going into space, it is actually a civilization that believes in love and peace and hopes to reach a consensus through peaceful means.

This is really hard to imagine—yes, Katus and Jeffery are indeed peaceful races now, and there are not so many warlike races on the human side, at most they can be regarded as the average level of intelligent creatures .

After all, they also had the same historical stage in the past. The first unified federation in Jeffrey's history was completed by eliminating all opposition forces through war; Only the old world will have the future international destiny, as well as the unification war that finally unified the entire world.

Every civilization that can stand out from the cruel natural selection, win the fierce struggle within the race, and become the civilization that dominates the entire planet, how can their hands be clean?

However, these birds seem to be different.
