Chapter 560 “It” and “She”

The brain, the universe, the ocean and even the jungle are all very mysterious places for humans. However, with the development of human science and technology, except for some very remote mountains and old forests, human footprints can be said to be all over the surface of the earth.

The secrets of the jungle are also being discovered under the surveillance of more and more aircraft and satellites, and the sense of mystery has plummeted. The same is true for the ocean, but due to the huge water pressure in its depths, the deep sea remains mysterious to humans.

But the oceans and jungles are on the earth. You can explore them whenever you want. You can't escape anyway.

The universe is different. Although mankind's understanding of the universe is constantly increasing due to the application of various types of telescopes, a lot of information and data come from theoretical calculations or even speculation. After all, other planets And celestial phenomena are too far away from the earth, so far that current humans cannot reach them even if they die.

The problem of the brain is embarrassing. It is not as far away from human beings as the universe, and even everyone has it. Although some people often say "the brain is a good thing, I hope you have it too", but this thing is indeed something everyone has. Class standard.

However, the complexity of studying the brain is not at all simpler than studying the universe. To some extent, studying the brain is even more difficult than studying the universe.

After all, there is no distance when studying the brain. Whenever you want to study it, someone will participate in the experiment, and the theoretical experimental materials are calculated in hundreds of millions.

But that's it, humans don't know much about the brain than they know about the universe, so that even if the top institutions in the world conduct collaborative research, their understanding of the brain is limited.

Dong Chen felt very magical now, which was completely different from the feeling he had when playing neuro-immersive virtual reality games.

Dong Chen has played a lot of real virtual reality games.

Although there is no virtual reality game in the Fallout World, Dong Chen has used their technology to make a virtual reality game, but the one he and No. 1 made was a little rough.

The newly opened District 18 in the interstellar era has many virtual reality games. There are flight training systems in the hangars of many spaceships. It is a kind of virtual reality game. Dong Chen has also played it in some special game arcades. More and more exciting virtual reality games.

The experience of playing those virtual reality games was quite good, and it once made Dong Chen not want to come out.

But the dark void he is in now is not fun at all. Although he knows that he is storing the data storage area of ​​No. 1, there is nothing to play in at all.

There is no gleaming symbolic data waterfall of 0s and 1s, no prompts, no operations, let alone shouting for light, there will be light, there is no hair.

Fortunately, he still has the instinct to speak, and No. 1 can still respond to what he says.

"Sir, this is different from the virtual reality game you play. This is just the original data space, and your brain signals have just been translated from your body into electronic signals. You cannot understand this new world." No. 1 The voice came.

"Then the world you were born into was this kind of world? Was it also void?" Dong Chen asked while floating in the dark void.

"No, sir." The voice of No. 1 came again, "When I first started, I was a program written by you. Later, you upgraded me to an artificial intelligence. Unlike you as a human, I was born for this, and as I leveled up, I became more and more familiar with this place.”

"When I first saw this world, the world I saw was completely different from the world you saw. It was like my home court. I can do anything here."

"Just like now..."

As soon as the voice of No. 1 fell, the dark void where Dong Chen was located changed. The dark space slowly became brighter, and he also slowly fell from the suspended state, and the place where he fell quickly became soft. The sea of ​​grass and flowers spread to all directions, followed by big trees, lakes, mountains, etc., all appeared one by one.

Just when Dong Chen looked around in surprise, a white light spot suddenly appeared in front of him, and more white light spots flew in from distant trees, grass, and lakes, and quickly gathered into a Number one.

The current image of No. 1 is different from that in reality. He is not wearing the military-like Arc Light Group uniform, but is wearing a white dress that matches the current scenery very well.

The number one formed by the convergence of light points slowly floated down like a delicate dandelion. The white skirt also seriously violated the rules of gravity. The corners of the skirt fluttered but did not rise significantly, making it look full of fairy spirit.

When No. 1's bare feet stood on the grass, and then she opened her eyes and looked at Dong Chen, she said again, "...just like now, I can stand in front of you at any time."

At this moment, Dong Chen could really feel that No. 1 was "her" rather than "it".

Looking at the smiling No. 1 standing in front of him, Dong Chen felt the gentle breeze blowing over his body. He said awkwardly, "Uh... can you put some clothes on for me too?"

He is still naked now, and when the breeze picks up, it feels a bit cold.

God knows why, but it turns out that he didn't feel any shame in front of No. 1. Just a moment ago, he was lying naked in the life-support cabin in front of No. 1.

Looking at Dong Chen's embarrassed expression, No. 1 smiled immediately, then glanced down without trace, and with a wave of his hand, a set of casual clothes suddenly appeared on Dong Chen's body.

Dong Chen was no longer afraid after putting on his clothes. He also noticed the look in No. 1's eyes, so he glared at her and curled his lips and said, "No. 1, you are really getting better and better."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir," No. 1 smiled.

"Well……"

Since No. 1 is not a real human being, Dong Chen doesn't know how far she has evolved, so he doesn't know whether she is shameless or just ignorant, which makes Dong Chen very helpless.

Helpless, Dong Chen could only change the subject, look around and ask, "Is this your current ability? It feels similar to a virtual reality game."

"Yes, sir, since humans and artificial intelligence have completely different virtual understandings of network signals, data space, etc., this is a virtual world built based on human cognitive views, and virtual games do this." Number 1 also changed the subject obediently.

Hearing what No. 1 said, Dong Chen pointed to himself and said, "What about me? Can I manipulate data to form such a virtual space like you? Can I learn?"

"Yes, yes, but..." Number 1 said, tapping the air, and then several pictures appeared in the air, "...but you need to adapt to a completely different cognitive perspective first, subverting many of your previous cognitions. Then you can learn to build and control the virtual data space, but after you are familiar with this, you will not adapt to it after returning to your body."

“This is different from just playing a virtual game in a virtual space with solid data and complete rules. In this process, there are so many things you need to do and learn.”

"Although your current data body and the data body of artificial intelligence are both data, you and artificial intelligence are completely different, both in terms of computing power and logical ability. It is not the translation of human brain signals into electrical signals. Then you can become an artificial intelligence."
