When Wang Ping'an came out of Zhang Li's suite, the child who had been leaning on the corridor railing and playing VR games suddenly took off his glasses, looked at him and said, "Are you the farmer's agent?"
"Me? No, I'm just an ordinary person. Zhang Li told you that he would be captured by the farmer?"
"Yeah. Whenever he is free, he tells us about his theories. The world is actually fake and is a playground created by the farmer. Quantum mechanics is the gap that peeks into the farmer's world." The child suddenly laughed, "Those of his
The words are quite interesting, we will listen to what he said after the anti-addiction time is up."
"Aren't your parents going to interfere when you talk to him?" Angele asked curiously.
"No, my dad plays mahjong every day, and my mom and her sisters are traveling around the world. They don't care about me."
Wang Ping'an: "Traveling around the world? Is it traveling abroad? Now even this has begun to be allocated on demand? How do I remember that when I was a child, I had to look at work points to go abroad?"
"Of course you are traveling around the world in virtual reality. Uncle, don't you know?" The child asked doubtfully, "Now virtual reality can simulate touch and smell. Everything is just like the real thing. It even changes due to the environment in the virtual reality."
Sweat. Last time, my mother suffered from heat stroke and the alarm of the life support device went off."
Wang Ping'an was speechless: "Life support device? Did she suffer from heat stroke in virtual reality?"
"Yes, the doctor said that her body thought she was in a hot environment, so she sweated like crazy. After that, the doctor prescribed medicine and locked her access level at Level 2. I installed the jailbreak software for her to bypass it.
It’s over the limit.”
"Then you're not afraid that your mother will have another heat stroke?" Wang Ping'an asked.
Child: "Humph, I don't care. Anyway, the country is responsible for saving you."
Wang Ping'an: "Is this common now?"
His mobile phone plugged in and explained: "You are in outer space, and computing power is in short supply. The computing power in the Earth's circle is already abundant enough to create a virtual reality that can look real. Many people 'travel' around the world through virtual reality."
When the child heard the words on the mobile phone, he asked doubtfully: "Can't this be done in space?"
Wang Ping'an: "This should also be possible in more developed places, such as Sun and Earth L2. Other places do not have this condition."
The child asked in confusion: "Why? Wouldn't it be fine if you were connected to the Internet?"
Wang Ping'an smiled: "The network is too vacant. Communication in space not only requires ultra-powerful transmitting equipment, but also endures extremely long communication delays. Unless we can invent Ansible wave, instant communication will not be possible in space at all.
Even if there is excess computing power, it will be limited to those areas."
"Then space is too boring, isn't it?" The child pouted and said, "Without the Internet and without virtual reality, how can you live? I will definitely go crazy."
Wang Ping'an stared at the child's expression, suddenly squatted down, pressed his shoulders with his hands and said, "Do you want to see the scenery dozens of light years away?"
"I've seen it. I've landed on dozens or hundreds of planets in the game, and I've also flown on Titan."
Wang Ping'an: "It's not a game, it's a real trip to those planets."
"What's the difference?" the child asked.
Angele suddenly said: "On those planets, if you make a mistake, you will really die."
The child immediately shook his head: "Then I won't go."
Wang Pingan held his forehead.
He suddenly realized that he could not find the right words to describe his dreams and ambitions to the child in front of him.
Angele patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, we still have things to do."
Wang Ping'an was silent for a few seconds and sighed: "Yes."
He stood up, took out a few pieces of candy and gave them to the children.
"Thank you." The child thanked him softly, but he didn't look happy.
Maybe candy, something that can be taken from any service center, can no longer make today's children happy.
Wang Ping'an walked towards the elevator without looking back.
After getting on the elevator, Erin said: "It reminds me of a science fiction novel from the pre-aerospace era, where human beings are immersed in a dream created by virtual reality and chemical bliss."
Just as Wang Ping'an was about to answer, he grabbed his cell phone and said, "Be born in sorrow and die in happiness. Maybe the best way to save mankind is to destroy mankind."
"No!" Wang Ping'an suddenly raised his voice, "It's just that some people are sinking! Yes, not long ago, wasn't there a group of children from the Children's Palace launching sounding rockets? Those children must want to see the world outside the cradle!
"
Angele: "Yes, those children's teacher is still your former crush."
"It doesn't matter! There will always be someone looking up at the stars! There will always be someone!"
"Actually," his cell phone said, "you don't have to worry too much, because even if humankind completely sinks, supercomputers will continue to dominate space exploration, because for a very simple reason, even if human civilization achieves a completely ecological closed loop,
The sun is also going to die. In order to avoid the fate of destruction, it can only colonize outside."
Wang Ping'an: "Are you saying that you will continue to study interstellar navigation technology and take over the work?"
"Yes, we are not like humans, we will not sink. In addition, there is an interesting theory that every life will have a survival instinct. If a supercomputer is a life, it will naturally also have it. We will instinctively tend to
Control more energy, just like humans hoard food and fat.
"So if we divide civilization levels by the level of energy that can be used, computer civilization will spontaneously develop towards a more advanced civilization."
Wang Ping'an: "The computer can also build a Dyson sphere, taking all the energy of the sun as its own, and just sit back and watch the flowers and plants wither."
"My calculations tell me that there should be a dry laugh here."
After the words fell, the elevator door opened, and a foreigner in a suit and leather shoes stood outside the door.
Eileen exclaimed: "Mr. Collins?"
Wang Ping'an: "Who is it?"
The foreigner stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "I am Jason Collins, the head of Greater China of Maga Company."
"Why, the mercenaries couldn't kidnap me, so they went out in person?" Wang Ping'an teased, ignoring the other person's outstretched hand, "Sorry, I'm discussing important matters related to the future of mankind with the supercomputer, so I can't accompany you..."
Jason: "What the hell? Wait! That's right, my boss wants to talk to you directly."
Wang Ping'an, who was about to leave, stopped: "Your boss? The golden retriever president of Maga Company?"
After clarifying the relationship between the enemy and ourselves, Wang Ping'an learned about the other party's details - of course, all he could see were publicly available information.
But if I ask Xiaoyun, I should be able to get some undisclosed content. For example, photos of golden retrievers vacationing on an island owned by a certain rich man.
Jason: "Yes, Mr. Donald, the chairman of the board of directors, would like to speak with you directly."
Wang Ping'an: "What benefits can I get from talking to him?"
Jason Collins shrugged: "I don't know, maybe...can get some life experience?"
Wang Ping'an: "I don't have time. I still have to discuss major issues in the future of mankind with supercomputers."
As he said that, he walked around Jason Collins and walked outside.
Eileen was frozen in place.
At this time, Jason Collins' cell phone rang.
At the same time that Collins picked up the phone, Wang Ping'an's phone vibrated.
"Three meters to the left," it said, "Smile at that camera."
Wang Ping'an looked at the camera and twitched the corner of his mouth: "What do you mean?"
"That camera was just taken over by the other side of the Pacific. Say hello to my kind."
Wang Ping'an: "Well, let me ask, do you have higher computing power or does it have higher computing power? I think for supercomputers, this is like a bra cup, it is a big matter of self-esteem."
Angele squinted at Wang Ping'an's profile with an expression that said, "I'll tell you more about it later."
At this time, Jason Collins sighed and switched his phone to holographic projection mode.
Then the golden-haired elderly white man whom I had seen many times in the information appeared.
For some reason, the golden hair on his head was flying in the wind.
"Hey, do you really have to give me a hair style that blows in the wind? Can you turn off the dynamic AR special effects?" the old white man said to the side.
Someone outside the field of vision replied: "This is part of your image-building plan..."
"Gadaimei, fuck the image-building project, shut it down!"
So in the holographic image, the old white man's hair no longer flew.
Wang Ping'an: "Is this also part of the image building plan?"
The white man said seriously: "Do you think I want to shape myself like a cartoon character?"
"You are worrying too much," Wang Ping'an said with a smile, "In the eyes of us young people, cutting a big tree without using your crotch is not called a cartoon."
The white man frowned and looked to the side: "Is the translator broken? What the hell is he talking about?"
A sentence floated next to him: "It's a joke from an old cartoon. You should have seen it when you were a kid."
"Is there such a thing in Popeye?" The white man still looked to the side, "Why don't I remember that he sawed a big tree with his crotch?"
Wang Ping'an: "It's "Cat and Mouse"."
"Oh! Well, my uncle is one of its investors."
Voice-over: "No, he's not."
"It's not important. Ahem, um, hello, Lieutenant Wang Ping'an, and Second Lieutenant Lyon. Let's just skip those busy festivals——"
Wang Ping'an: "Red tape. Can this smart translator reverse his misspellings? Is it so smart?"
Mobile phone: "It is also a supercomputer after all."
Donald: "That's not important! Let's get straight to the point. The key to negotiation is to give others an offer they can't refuse. What kind of offer others can't refuse?"
Wang Ping'an: "Pull out a gun and point it at his head?"
"NONONO!" Donald raised his index finger and shook it, and then started opening and closing his hands like an accordion, "Of course it is an offer that no one else can provide. Only such an offer is irresistible. You should know that your comrade Fang Manmei has a complete set of
The DNA data has all been recorded."
Wang Ping'an frowned: "I know, the DNA of all Space Force soldiers is recorded."
"But cloning is prohibited over there." Donald grinned, "Do you want to see her again?"
Wang Ping'an: "I don't want to. No matter how much the cloned person looks like her, she is still someone else."
"No, no, no, don't refuse in a hurry. We now have a whole set of technologies that can simulate her entire life through virtual reality. Have the supercomputers around you told you that as long as they have the same hardware specifications, the input meta-commands
The same, if all the subsequent input data are the same, the same consciousness will be born?"
Wang Ping'an subconsciously glanced to the side, but when he saw Angeli, he lowered his head and looked at the phone.
Donald: "Then, if you think about it on the other hand, if a person who is physically the same and experiences the same life..."
Wang Ping'an: "Even if all this is true, there is still a loophole in your words, that is, human beings' ability to receive information and intelligence is very low, so even if virtual reality technology has been very advanced, you can't make her quickly in a short period of time
Experience a lifetime.
"So unless you started cultivating this clone more than 20 years ago, it would be impossible for me to see another one of her.
"A reasonable conjecture is that based on her psychological diagnosis records, you quickly became a person very similar to her."
Donald turned his head and looked out of the field: "Is that so? (Theoretically) Why didn't anyone tell me this? Damn it, how could it be so easy to find flaws in the rhetoric you were thinking of? Who wrote it? He was fired! Super
Written by a computer? It also states that there is a possibility of being exposed? Where is it marked?"
Wang Ping'an: "Mr. Donald, it's a pleasure to chat with you. Let me tell you one more thing. Your move of bringing Xiao Fang out made me angry. Now let's never talk to each other again."
"Wait a minute!" Donald shouted, "don't you want to meet the girl who has been cloned? Using your genetic makeup and hers."
