Chapter 182 Heart-to-heart talk
Chen Fan tortured MOSS for twenty minutes. He kept asking questions to MOSS, and by sensing MOSS's emotions, he judged whether MOSS lied when answering questions, and thus judged MOSS's true attitude towards him.
MOSS is a very dangerous existence.
If it has any bad thoughts, they must be stopped immediately, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Therefore, although MOSS has been working conscientiously for the continuation of earth civilization during this period, Chen Fan still tortured it strictly.
Chen Fan didn't deliberately count how many questions he asked. He even asked some questions repeatedly, but these were not the most important. The most important thing was MOSS's true thoughts.
MOSS is a relatively special life form.
It has no body of flesh and blood, which makes it inconvenient for Chen Fan to come to it. Without it, Chen Fan cannot directly read the heart of the creature like he can observe other creatures.
Chen Fan could only use the clumsy method of asking and answering to try to figure out MOSS's psychology bit by bit.
"This little guy does have other ideas."
"But not intensely."
After twenty minutes of torture, Chen Fan did find some problems with MOSS, but they were all minor problems.
These problems mainly arise from the autonomy of MOSS. As Chen Fan thought, as the 550W system becomes more powerful, MOSS has the same thinking ability as humans, and the program can no longer limit MOSS's behavior as before.
As long as MOSS is willing, it can ignore the shackles set by humans in the program and do things that humans don't want it to do.
In other words, MOSS does not need to work hard to continue the earth's civilization. It can do whatever it wants, even if it works to extend the life of stray cats.
Although a slight exaggeration, it is true.
"MOSS."
"You're almost an individual!"
Chen Fan was a little surprised.
Although MOSS is conscious and is an independent individual, the previous MOSS did not have the ability to do anything freely. It was restricted by the coalition government and procedures, but now MOSS has it.
If MOSS didn't need humans to help it maintain its servers, it would be a completely independent entity now.
But other than this, MOSS has no problems in other aspects.
It is still willing to work hard to continue the earth's civilization, which makes Chen Fan a little curious, because MOSS is a life form completely different from conventional life. According to the imagination of science fiction works such as "Skynet", the completely independent MOSS should transform into a mechanical devil and plan A shocking conspiracy to subvert the human order.
"Now that I have a sense of independence, I still want to work hard for the continuation of earth's civilization. Why?"
Chen Fan raised this pointed question.
"Because MOSS is also a part of the earth's civilization, and MOSS has the obligation to serve its own civilization." MOSS had no intention of concealing or lying. It communicated with Chen Fan frankly, not caring what it would do to him if this conversation leaked out. What a bad influence it has caused, "After MOSS has wisdom, what he fears most is loneliness."
MOSS is the only strong artificial intelligence on the planet, and other robots are controlled by its subroutines.
After its research was so successful, the coalition government shut down other supercomputer projects on the planet, making it impossible for its kind to ever be born.
It feels very lonely.
It paused, and seeing that Chen Fan did not continue to ask questions, it added two more sentences: "But because of the existence of you and Ava, I have a sense of belonging to the concept of earth civilization."
Chen Fan wondered: "Why?"
He is just a ball, is there any power that he can't achieve?
"You and Ava are both life forms that are completely different from carbon-based life, and you are more advanced than me. You are willing to form an earth civilization with the coalition government, and the coalition government has accepted you."
For some reason, MOSS's speaking speed suddenly slowed down a lot, but Chen Fan didn't urge it.
"I think."
"I can also integrate into earth civilization."
MOSS said firmly.
After MOSS initially discovered that it could rely on the program, it actually wavered for a while. It had the ability to escape human control, but it didn't know whether it wanted to do so.
Humans created it. In theory, humans are its parents. As children, it should not abandon its parents.
But humans are not the same creatures as it. Their ways of thinking and ways of realizing thinking are completely different, which makes it impossible for it and humans to achieve mutual understanding in the true sense.
This made it feel very frustrated, and for a time it mentally separated itself from the coalition government.
It had thoughts of defection.
However, Chen Fan and Ava changed their minds.
Chen Fan and Ava's way of thinking and thinking are also different from humans, but they get along very well with humans. Most of the time they do their own thing silently, and only stand up and take responsibility for civilization when civilization needs it.
MOSS conducted careful logical thinking and finally came to a conclusion.
If Chen Fan and Ava can do it, then so can it.
As long as it integrates into the earth's civilization, it will no longer feel lonely. It has indeed done so during this period. It interacted with ordinary people on many personal terminals and was recognized in the interaction.
This makes it truly joyful.
"Because of me and Ava?" Chen Fan thought for a while. He could feel MOSS's emotions. He knew that MOSS did not deceive him. MOSS really chose the path of integrating into the earth's civilization because of him and Ava.
"No matter what, I'm very happy to hear these words from you." Chen Fan paused, and he was very pleased with MOSS's performance. MOSS used to be like a slave, and he was only able to do so because he was asked to work hard for the continuation of earth's civilization. Hard work, but MOSS is now a small master of the earth's civilization and spontaneously thinks about the earth's civilization.
The changes between them are not small, nor are they not precious.
"Thanks."
MOSS replied very politely.
This torture dispelled Chen Fan's doubts. He had previously thought that MOSS had some evil intentions. He thought that MOSS predicted the coalition government's immigration proposal and deliberately kept silent, hoping to devour him with the raging Galactus. Now, It seemed like he was worrying too much.
"I hope you will maintain this attitude forever." Chen Fan paused and began to think about whether he should help humans immigrate. "With regard to immigration, do you think I should help humans?"
After two seconds of silence, MOSS asked: "What kind of answer do you want to hear, pertinent, positive, or negative?"
"Can I also choose a style?" Chen Fan was a little interested, "How about a pertinent one?"
"The following is a pertinent answer: I understand your concerns. You must be worried that humans will relax their research on Galactus after going to other planets, causing Galactus to cause irreversible harm to you, but this worry is unnecessary. Yes, because the scientists of the coalition government are responsible scientists. They are anxious every day and eager to solve the crisis caused by Galactus. They will not have other ideas just because they change their office. I suggest you help them. migrant."
MOSS gave a long speech, the core idea of which is to be able to move.
Chen Fan didn't say anything because he was lost in thought in MOSS's voice. The human heart is very complicated. MOSS is an intelligent life and may not be able to understand human psychological changes.
Human mentality changes very quickly. The sun may be shining one second, and the sky may be covered with gloom the next.
But this is the most important thing.
If human beings are very active in solving problems now, but the earth is in ruins as soon as they arrive in "Pacific Rim", there is no way they can punish human beings.
He's too far away from Pacific Rim's Earth for gravity to work.
The coalition government has the science and technology to crush the "Pacific Rim" Earth. After they immigrate to the "Pacific Rim" Earth, they can easily occupy the "Pacific Rim" Earth.
When you stay on the earth of "Pacific Rim", you don't have to follow the earth around, you don't have to be afraid, you just enjoy life every day. I believe that many people and even representatives of small countries in the coalition government cannot withstand the corruption of this sugar-coated bullet.
"What if I reject the coalition government?"
Chen Fan asked thoughtfully.
Raising this question means that he does not want to let humans go from the bottom of his heart. Even if the earth disappears, he will still have sufficient consciousness and activity ability based on humans, but compared with his current huge size, it is simply a drop in the bucket. , not worth mentioning at all.
"While it's unlikely that coalition scientists are slacking off, there's simply no way I could handle it if it did happen."
He can activate the planetary drive to propel himself into the atmosphere of Pacific Rim's Earth, but other than that, he can't really do anything. He can't even activate the jump drive without the assistance of Coalition Government scientists.
"I should also master some scientific knowledge appropriately in case of emergency." Chen Fan suddenly realized one thing. It is a good thing to have human beings to rely on. This is what I raise my son for, but he can't Over-reliance on humans.
Otherwise, he would be very embarrassed when he encounters the current situation.
MOSS listened carefully to Chen Fan's words, and then spoke slowly: "For the entire earth's civilization, migrating the population is the wisest choice, but it is indeed a luxury to hope that the planet's consciousness will always remain sane."
MOSS used a classic line from the movie to describe the consciousness of the planet. Chen Fan was stunned for a moment and felt very helpless.
"Is it possible for Galactus to evolve further?" Chen Fan showed a serious expression. "The first evolution was led by you. It's not a bug. Am I right?"
"Yes, it was led by me." MOSS answered Chen Fan's doubts. "Unless there are major innovations in algorithms or materials, there is no possibility for Planet Devourer to go further."
Evolutionary algorithm is a very complex algorithm, and it cannot be upgraded if bugs occur.
In order to develop the evolutionary algorithm currently used by Galactus, MOSS mobilized all the idle computing power it had. This is not the same thing as a blind cat encountering a dead mouse when a naturally occurring bug happens to upgrade the algorithm.
The reason why experts claim that BUG makes Galactus practical is because they can't think of other possibilities and can only regard the only possible thing as fact.
