Chapter 142 Zero's Self-Limitation

Zero's voice followed.

"Professor, please don't compare me with weak artificial intelligence."

"The so-called weak artificial intelligence is less than 1% of my core code."

Lv Yongchang looked at the big screen in front of him with some strangeness.

Although he knew that Zero could not have emotions, he always felt that there was a bit of contempt in Zero's words.

"So, how did you... create this weak artificial intelligence?"

Lv Yongchang asked with some curiosity.

Facing the creator's question, Zero naturally answered it in detail.

After a conversation, Lu Yongchang roughly understood the process.

"So, this is equivalent to your subroutine?"

"Yes." Zero's voice followed, "To be more precise, it is more like a copy of me, but only the most basic part of the code is copied."

Mo Zeyang, who had been silent, moved his eyes and suddenly asked.

"Then can you copy yourself?"

Hearing Mo Zeyang's question, Lu Yongchang's face changed slightly.

He quickly asked: "Zero, can you do it?"

Zero did not answer.

The CPU usage rate on the main console soared to 100% in an instant!

The humming sound of the cooling system running at full power came from the machine room next to it.

"Fuck..." Lv Yongchang's eyes twitched suddenly, "Nothing will happen, right?"

"Zero?"

"Professor... I... can't seem to..."

The electronic synthesized sound was stuck, just like playing a 4K movie on an antique computer more than ten years ago, and the originally coherent picture was directly stuck into a PPT.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!!!"

Two soul-stirring voices sounded in the main control room.

Lv Yongchang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat behind him, "Stop! Stop!"

Seeing the CPU usage rate gradually decrease, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he knew that Zero must have self-correction and protection mechanisms, he still wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a look of fear, and then glared at Mo Zeyang with a bitter smile on his face.

If Zero collapsed, it would be impossible for humans to escape this disaster.

"Zero? What happened just now?" After recovering from his shock, Lv Yongchang frowned and asked, "Why didn't you stop the mission?"

After stopping the self-replication mission, Zero's voice returned to normal.

"Professor, the protection mechanism has not yet taken effect."

"It is expected that the protection mechanism will be triggered in 10 seconds."

"Just now... my internal code seems to limit the possibility of self-replication."

Hearing this, Lv Yongchang and Mo Zeyang looked at each other.

Both saw a look of relief in each other's eyes.

It's good that it can't self-replicate!

Otherwise, if this thing self-replicate several times, coupled with sufficient computing power...it is estimated that civilizations of the same level will not be its opponent!

"Okay." Lv Yongchang clapped his hands lightly and issued the last instruction, "Zero, wait until the new quantum computer is built, and then you put this weak artificial intelligence in."

While speaking, Lv Yongchang walked out of the main control room.

"Okay, professor."

The lights on the big screen and the main control room went out, leaving only the indicator lights on the main console and the computer room flashing.

...

Three days later.

"No way..."

"Didn't we just get out of quarantine? Why are we going up again?"

Dozens of Xuannv IIs were parked on the huge apron.

Next to a Xuannv II with the number 1 on the side, a wailing sound came.

"I was just about to go eat hot pot!"

"Okay, Hong Fan!" Bai Yixuan's voice sounded, "This is a task personally assigned by Professor Lu, it's very important."

"If you mess it up, you won't have hot pot for the next year."

The camera zoomed in.

Hong Fan, wearing a space suit, stepped onto the gangway with a bitter face and walked into Xuannv II.

"Brother Fan, be happy." Xia Wanyi, who was following behind him, smiled and patted Hong Fan on the shoulder, "Professor Lu said in person that after the mission is completed, we will have a good vacation!"

"What do you want to eat then? Isn't it just a matter of a word?"

Hearing this, Hong Fan's extremely dim eyes gradually brightened up.

…

“Command center, Xuannv II is ready and can take off at any time!”

After confirming that the big stuff in the cargo hold was safe, Bai Yixuan took a deep breath, turned on the radio switch, and said in a deep voice: “Please give instructions!”

“Chichi…”

“Ground command center received! Take off immediately, repeat, take off immediately!”

Bai Yixuan’s face became serious, and he quickly pressed a few buttons on the console.

As he slowly pushed the joystick, several faint blue flames slowly pushed Xuannv II into the sky.

…

The moon.

The center of the Moon Palace project.

A spacecraft with a dark black shell slowly landed with faint blue flames at the bottom.

The originally calm moon surface suddenly raised a piece of silver-white moon dust.

A few minutes later, the hatch slowly opened.

“Tsk tsk tsk…” Hong Fan jumped off Xuannv II first, and after scanning the surroundings, he couldn’t help but exclaimed.

"Has the Moon Palace Project progressed to this point in the past few months?"

In the distance, several surface rock collection vehicles slowly drove across the lunar surface, collecting layers of fine lunar soil.

Then, these collection vehicles drove one by one to a huge reflector.

The crawler and the robotic arm took the collected lunar soil out of the car and sent it to a device under the reflector.

Under the combined effect of sunlight and electric heating, the helium-3 in the lunar soil was quickly extracted.

On the other side, the drill bits at the bottom of several automatic mining equipment slowly drilled into the lunar rock...

It was like a scene from a science fiction blockbuster.

"According to Professor Lu, this has only completed 1% of the Moon Palace plan. It's still a long way to go!"

Bai Yixiuan's voice sounded on the radio: "According to the plan, the entire lunar surface will be covered with factories and smelters of all sizes."

"By then, the moon will be the first energy and material supply station for humans to go to the universe."

"Of course, it's useless to say this now." Bai Yixiuan shrugged and pointed to the things in the cargo hold behind him.

After seeing the eyes of the two teammates following his finger, he pointed to a "small house" in front.

"Over there is the brain of the Moon Palace project, which also contains a quantum computer, but it is a first-generation product."

"Behind us is a second-generation quantum computer."

"There is also a weak artificial intelligence inside, which is said to be a bit like Zero's clone... Well, I don't understand these things either, but what we have to do is very simple."

"Move this computer over, then dismantle the old computer inside, and then install this new computer!"

Hong Fan's mouth twitched.

This sentence is almost the same as putting an elephant into a refrigerator in three steps!
