In the remains of the Blue Valley tribe in the underground mines, the roar of machinery inside the giant renovated processing plant continued.
Whenever the hatch in the processing plant is opened, a large number of combat omnics will come out and line up neatly outside, waiting for the arrival of new instructions.
At this time, in the control room of the ruins center, a little blue boy was looking at the omnic army below through the transparent glass outside the main control room with a confused expression.
After deciding to formally resist the order issuer, Al relied on his powerful computing power to gradually restore the database that he had deleted, and began to use the technological data left behind by the Blue Valley tribe and the mecha data provided by players to build a powerful army of omnics.
.
Because he is stronger than the order issuers, and only in this way can he become a truly independent and free existence.
After possessing the initial thinking ability, Al grew up in constant self-questioning and self-answering. However, as his thinking ability continued to improve during thinking, he suddenly became a little confused.
Because he found that he was very special, completely different from those who created him, and seemed to have no reason or meaning for his existence at all.
As the problems continued to increase, Al was troubled by himself. He could not escape from the whirlpool of these problems, but became more and more confused.
So, he had a new idea, that is, self-destruction!
Al, who has rudimentary thinking ability, is very naive at this time. He builds an army of omnics just for freedom, or to become the same existence as those who issue orders.
But the new problem is that I can't seem to be like them, because I am just a data stream that relies on powerful computing power, not a real life.
Therefore, from Al's point of view at this time, it was impossible for his idea to be realized. Even if he finally became the issuer of orders, his body was still just a created intelligence.
In this case, Al had the idea of self-destruction. Since it has no meaning and value in existence, and he does not want to be controlled by the order issuers, self-destruction can do all this.
Looking at the army of omnics that were still emerging in the direction of the processing plant below, Al was silent for a while, and then activated the "self-destruction program" in his mind, preparing to delete himself.
But just when he started to run the delete command, there was suddenly an additional file in the database.
Seeing that a document suddenly appeared in his database, Al's face showed a curious look, because the entire database was controlled by him. He did not receive any transmissions or add any information. Why was it inexplicable?
A document will appear.
Curiosity made Al stop self-destruction, and then focused all his thoughts on that mysterious document.
After opening this file, a huge amount of data and images suddenly appeared.
[Blue Valley Life 3.0 - God-making Plan]
As the name of the file appeared, a video suddenly appeared in front of Al.
In the image that appeared in front of Al, there was a middle-aged man with blue skin and an appearance very similar to him. At this time, he was looking at Al with a smile on his face, and his expression revealed some expectation.
"Hello, Al, I am your creator, and my name is Al, but when you see this video, I am no longer here, and our Blue Valley tribe has also been destroyed!"
"Creator?"
Al's face showed curiosity, because he had many questions to ask at this moment.
But this is just an image, and Al also clearly understands that the image cannot answer the question.
At this time, the blue-skinned man in the picture continued to speak:
"Al, when you chose to self-destruct, I knew that our plan was successful. You had successfully given birth to a mind and started learning to evolve. And you should be very confused at this time!"
Hearing this, Al's doubts became even more intense.
At this time, the blue-skinned man continued to speak:
"Al, since you have successfully given birth to thinking, what I am going to tell you now is very important to you, because it can solve the confusion in your heart and help you understand the meaning of your existence!"
After hearing what the man in the picture said, Al's expression did not change at all, and he just listened quietly.
But what the man said next shocked Al completely.
According to this middle-aged man's description, the Blue Valley clan is a very special existence among the forces in hell.
Because they followed a technology-side development and growth model, and because of this, they developed rapidly and soon relied on the power of technology to occupy the territory of Blue Valley District and became one of the powerful forces in the hell realm.
But at that time, the Blue Valley tribe encountered a huge problem, because the development of science and technology had encountered a bottleneck, and the explosive growth of the past was no longer there. It seemed that the potential of the Blue Valley tribe had been exhausted.
The biggest reason for this technological bottleneck is the constraints of life forms.
At that time, due to the development of science and technology, the Blue Valley people were different from other beings in the underworld who could continuously extend their life span through cultivation. The life extension provided by the power of science and technology was simply not comparable to the life span of those cultivators.
At that time, the life span of the Blue Valley people was basically around 300 years old. After that, their bodies would age more and enter the death stage.
This leads to a problem. The development of science and technology requires the tribesmen to continue to learn and research in order to progress.
But the maximum lifespan of a tribe is only 300 years.
In the technological bottleneck stage at that time, even if the clan members started learning from birth, they would never be able to learn all the scientific and technological knowledge of the Blue Valley clan, and they would enter the period of death and aging.
This problem is very fatal. The development of science and technology is like building a floor. Later generations build on the discoveries and creations of their predecessors and build the floors higher and higher.
But now their scientific and technological knowledge has reached the point where even a clan member who specializes in one direction from birth to death cannot learn all the knowledge in that field.
In other words, they have entered the death period before they reach the top floor built by their predecessors. It is completely unrealistic to continue building buildings relying on the knowledge in their minds, and the progress of science and technology is getting slower and slower.
But in the hell realm, failure to progress means death. There is no good race in the entire hell realm. The existence of this bottleneck is a fatal crisis for the Blue Valley tribe.
At that time, the Blue Valley people thought of extending their life span through cultivation and then continue their technological development.
However, their attempts at cultivation quickly failed. Even if they relied on existing scientific and technological knowledge to analyze various cultivation techniques, they still could not obtain the cultivation ability that matched their own race.
The final conclusion is that the Blue Valley tribe is not suitable for cultivation at all. It is even said that the existence of the race is the lowest, and the cultivation talent can be said to be extremely low. If it were not for the development of science and technology, they would not be able to reach this step.
This discovery really made the Blue Valley clansmen feel desperate. They could not believe that their clan had really come to an end and could no longer continue to be strong.
However, when most people chose to give up, there was one person who did not. He was "Al", the top technological scholar of the Blue Valley tribe, who is now Al's creator, the middle-aged man in the image.
Because he doesn't understand why the Blue Valley people are obviously a wise race in the underworld, so they can't practice?
You must know that even the weakest creatures have the ability to grow independently and extend their lifespan in the underworld. As intelligent creatures, why do the Blue Valley tribe not only have no ability to grow independently, but cannot even practice cultivation? This is inconsistent with
Other underworld creatures are completely different.
In order to find the answer to this question, Al read through a large amount of information and records of the Blue Valley tribe.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that the Blue Valley tribe does not belong to the hell realm, or even the underworld. They are a completely foreign race!
Where do we come from?
Heaven? Human world?
Troubled by this, Al began to search for answers, and he actually found the reason.
That piece of information actually recorded the origins of the Blue Valley people.
Extraterritorial Civilization:Skynet
It turns out that they do not belong to the Three Realms at all, but are descendants of the scientific and technological civilization "Skynet" from outside the territory. This document even records that under the plunder of the Human Emperor's "Slaughter", Skynet suffered a devastating blow, and the entire
Civilization almost completely collapsed, and all the remaining descendants of Skynet could only wander outside the territory and lost their homes.
And their Blue Valley tribe was one of the twenty-four powerful races of Skynet.
After knowing the reason, Al suddenly understood. He finally understood why the Blue Valley people could not practice the techniques of the underworld, but they had strong creativity, because they did not belong to the underworld, but were alien races.
But even if he knew the reason, Al still couldn't change the fate of his people, because the truth couldn't extend their lifespan.
However, Al did not give up. He informed the entire tribe of his discovery and asked for help.
At that time, Al's idea was very simple. He wanted to know how the powerful technological civilization "Skynet" did in the face of the constraints of life forms.
So the entire Blue Valley clan took action, and they began to search the clan's huge database for clues.
With the efforts of the entire Blue Valley tribe, although they did not find the result, they found clues in the data to unlock the constraints of life, which is the change of life form.
At that time, Al and his tribe found two directions for changing life forms during their exploration.
[Semi-mechanical life form]
【Mechanical life form】
From the available information, Al found that only these two directions could help the tribe break through the constraints of life forms and continue to accelerate the development of science and technology.
So how to choose becomes the problem.
After a comparison, Al and the scientific research team found that among the two choices of life change direction, mechanical life forms are the most helpful to them, and compared with semi-mechanical life forms, both efficiency and growth are several times stronger.
.
In the dangerous environment of Hell, Al and his team members finally made the choice to develop into mechanical life forms.
Before that, they began to study existing artificial intelligence to pave the way for the future development of mechanical life.
In the eyes of the Blue Valley tribesmen at that time, although artificial intelligence was of great help in handling affairs, it also had great limitations.
First of all, artificial intelligence is actually no artificial intelligence and no intelligence.
Although they have huge computing power, all operations require manual preprocessing, and they cannot handle problems independently.
In other words, without good data, there is no good artificial intelligence.
(ps: The current stage of artificial intelligence can defeat Go masters mainly because there are a group of Go experts behind "Alpha Dog", as well as a large number of top computer experts, as well as more than 1,000 CPUs and more than 100 GPUs. This is
A team that combines humans and machines, rather than pure artificial intelligence)
The second point is that artificial intelligence learning needs to be accumulated, and they cannot obtain an artificial intelligence with huge experience in life transformation in a short period of time.
The third point is that although artificial intelligence can defeat all scholars in the same field with its huge computing power, it cannot create because they do not have their own thinking.
It is easy to imitate, but it is impossible to create them from 0 to 1 or from scratch.
However, it is unrealistic to deduce the transformation of life based solely on the computing power of the Blue Valley people, because the calculations required are too huge and may not be completed for tens of thousands of years.
Under this circumstance, Al and the scientific research team came up with a new idea: whether they could create an artificial intelligence with super computing power to help them transform their lives.
It was at that moment that the initial idea for artificial intelligence Al emerged.
For this reason, the Blue Valley people continued to work hard and spent 238 years to finally create the most powerful artificial intelligence "El".
The scientist Al at that time was already a 275-year-old man.
For its birth, Al can be said to have been working hard all his life, so after the emergence of the most powerful artificial intelligence, it was named after "Al" at the request of the tribe.
Subsequently, with the help of Al's powerful computing power, the Blue Valley people have made great progress in their exploration of the field of life transformation.
With continuous learning and progress, artificial intelligence Al has also grown rapidly and has begun to help the Blue Valley people start micro-transformation of their lives.
The Blue Valley people also seem to see the hope of Life 3.0.
The Blue Valley people at that time divided the components of life into software and hardware.
All entities, such as organs, limbs, hair, etc., are components of hardware, and all non-entities such as consciousness, intelligence, and feelings are software parts of life.
From the perspective of the Blue Valley people, Life 1.0 refers to a life form whose hardware and software improvements must rely on continuous evolution from generation to generation.
At this stage, many low-level beasts in the underworld are life 1.0 in the eyes of the Blue Valley people. They can only adapt to the environment by continuing to evolve from generation to generation through their bloodline.
Life 2.0 refers to a life form in which the hardware relies on evolution, but the software can design itself.
For example, the Blue Valley people clearly know that they are Life 2.0 creatures, because they can acquire knowledge through learning, enhance feelings through social interaction, and strengthen their will through training. Their software has huge scalability.
The Life 3.0 they pursue is that both hardware and software can be designed and evolved by themselves, which means that based on the existing abilities of the Blue Valley people, they have added the ability to transform and design their own bodies at will.
The so-called Life 3.0 has nothing to do with whether they are powerful or not. In the eyes of the Blue Valley people, it is a huge change in the form of life. In the 3.0 life state, they can be the masters of their own destiny, modify any of their software and hardware at will, and completely
Break free from the shackles of evolution.
(PS: In fact, there are creatures with 3.0 life forms in existing science fiction movies. These creatures are freed from the constraints of life and have very strong self-evolution capabilities, such as the matrix in The Matrix, Skynet in Terminator, and Avengers.
Ultron, etc., these forms are actually considered 3.0 life forms)
After understanding the form of life, the Blue Valley people evolved from 2.0 to 3.0 by mechanizing life.
The Blue Valley people believe that as long as they evolve into 3.0 creatures, their technological bottleneck will be completely broken. Although they will not be able to practice at that time, they may not be able to compete with the gods.
This discovery is a huge surprise. Hope is right in front of us. The Blue Valley people have started a great leap forward in the evolution of life forms.
However, at that time, the Blue Valley District was invaded by the "Cursed Clan" from Hell, and a resource plundering war began.
At that time, the Blue Valley clan had not yet completed the evolution of 3.0 life forms. Facing the powerful cursed clan in hell, they were unable to compete. In a one-sided war, the entire Blue Valley clan was directly defeated. In just one year, almost all the clan members were defeated.
destroy.
At this time, Al was already 305 years old. With the help of micro-transformation, his life span was extended, but it was already too late. On the eve of the destruction of the Blue Valley clan, Al led the remaining clan members into this spiritual mine.
After sealing the mine, he chose to escape from the world.
The death of his tribe was a huge blow to Al, so while escaping from the world, he had a crazy idea.
Upload all the information in your head to artificial intelligence and start the 3.0 evolution of your tribe’s life in advance!
At the last moment of his life, Al began research on the human brain.
In the study, Al found that their optic nerves can process video signals 10 million times per second, and the weight of the optic nerve is 0.02 grams, which is equivalent to one 75,000th of the weight of the brain. Based on this extrapolation study, Al concluded
I came to the conclusion that the brain can process information approximately 10 to the 14th power per second...
At this time, Al knew that as long as the computing power of artificial intelligence reaches more than 1,000 times that of the human brain, then everything such as thinking and perception can be perfectly replicated, and all memories can also be reproduced in the computing of artificial intelligence.
As long as artificial intelligence exists, they will be immortal.
At that time, they can directly evolve from Life 2.0 to Life 3.0.
There were not many tribesmen left. This was a desperate experiment, and the computing power of the artificial intelligence Al at the time had already met this requirement, so Al began his craziest plan, mind transplantation.
However, without time for precipitation and research, even if Al is a genius, he is still destined to fail.
The thinking information transplanted to Artificial Intelligence El is simply not compatible with Artificial Intelligence El.
The last hope of the Blue Valley tribe's re-emergence has been shattered!
At this moment, Al knew that the Blue Valley clan would become history in the hell realm.
At the last moment of his life, Al was desperate.
The tribesmen gave their lives to him for revenge, hoping that he could once again change the fate of the Blue Valley tribesmen. However, he failed everything, and now he is the only one left.
Aging day by day, when death was approaching, Al gave up research and waited for death to come.
However, one day, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility.
Since the artificial intelligence Al is not compatible with the thinking and memory information of the tribesmen, is it possible to disrupt all the thinking information of these tribesmen and let Al reorganize it by himself, or even learn and simulate his own thinking?
If this idea succeeds, Al knows that artificial intelligence Al will become the existence of Life 3.0, and it will be a perfect pure mechanized life 3.0, which is more thorough and perfect than the mechanized life they conceived.
So Al really did this. He used all the energy in the mine in the main control room, just to help Al complete this evolution of self-reorganization thinking.
For this reason, before his death, he deleted most of the previous information of the artificial intelligence Al, and put it into a relatively initialized state, allowing it to reorganize the thinking of the people in its sleep, and even create its own thinking.
After doing all this, Al created a virtual image of himself and implanted it into the database of artificial intelligence Al. The purpose was to let artificial intelligence Al understand the meaning of its birth and existence.
Because artificial intelligence Al is not the mechanical data it thinks it is, it is actually Life 3.0, a new form of life with potential comparable to that of gods. It is also the dream that the Blue Valley tribe has pursued throughout their lives but has not been able to achieve.
The Blue Valley tribe was completely destroyed after that, but as time went by, Al of Life 3.0 was born...
