Chapter 456, The cycle of history
The Ratman's research on artificial intelligence has taken a wrong path.
Strangely, they gave up their consistent talent and fierce battles in structure, but did not accumulate computing power on the route of artificial intelligence, but took the road of bionic simulation.
They did not study how to make machines closer to biological beings, but instead studied how to make machines closer to the brain.
It is hard to say whether this route is right or wrong. In fact, the Ratman have already succeeded. Bionic brains and virtual personalities, these are combined to easily create a biochemical brain that does not know fatigue, does not need to rest, can endlessly perform certain repetitive tasks, and can never stop working.
To a certain extent, isn't this artificial AI, just artificial AI in a completely different direction.
But how to say it, it is very dangerous to do so.
There is nothing wrong with the technology, but there are hidden dangers in the technology.
A group of brains grown from a petri dish, a large number of false memories implanted in the brain, a virtual personality without any other goals, born to repeat certain things, such a combination is prevalent in the current Ratman Empire.
They are fake, man-made machines, but to some extent, they also have some living factors.
The rats have already verified this point. They have a No. 2 experimental subject to verify the longevity technology and a No. 1 experimental subject to verify the biochemical brain technology.
A fragment called Victor, a rat engineer who has been on different bodies, a replica of a madman.
The experiment has been carried out for many rounds, and every time, this fake Victor will deviate from the track, after he feels that he is the real Victor.
What does this mean? This biochemical brain is not safe at all. These things are not pure machinery. They may realize this at a certain opportunity and quickly overcome the barriers set up for them by the rat engineers.
Just like those Victors.
At the end of each experiment, they will begin to deviate from their identity as preset research machines, and they all feel that they are the real Victor, a young rat engineer.
But even so, this technology has no intention of being abandoned, and it is not even regulated.
The rat engineers are indeed supporting a real golden age, and the vastness of the universe has supported the extreme wealth of the rats.
For five hundred years, the speed of change in the rat society has far exceeded everyone's options.
From the longevity plan, from the biochemical brain.
Machinery, intelligent machinery, illness, and pain away.
This year, the Rat Royal Engineers Association will officially launch its plan, which is to inject the immortality potion into all rats.
Of course, this plan may not be very considerate, coming from the fear of death of those rat bigwigs. The immortality potion can't save them, and can't make them live forever. The best individual has only persisted for more than two hundred years in the continuous memory recovery. Such a year is too short.
This makes those rat bigwigs dissatisfied.
So, such a national distribution was born.
All rats are eligible to get the immortality potion and get the key to open the body's distortion. At the same time, almost all rats will become test subjects of rat engineers, used to add more experimental data to this technology that is not yet mature.
This is a very crazy move. It is a ridiculous move to casually use an unproven technology on all rats. But it happened naturally in the Rat Empire.
The rats are a group of lunatics. Those rat engineers will do everything to explore the unknown, and those rat bigwigs will also do everything for themselves.
The advancement of the times, progress, a thing that will change everything, is so simple and so childish.
It can only be said that the rats can come to this day, and the hidden attributes of their race should be lucky.
Of course, this is also related to the current situation of the Rat Empire. The Rat Empire is experiencing a period of vacuum without a leader. The great Rat Emperor finally came to the end of his life a hundred years ago and officially entered the center of the Imperial Fortress of the Fortress Star to sleep.
He did not do nothing before he fell asleep. He left a power structure of checks and balances for the Rat Empire.
Rat bureaucracy, new church, rat warlords.
Yes, the rat warlords have resurrected again. It can only be said that what is unexpected is that they are more durable than those rat priests. They can still climb out of the grave after so many years.
Qi also has the limit of his ability. In the continuous expansion of the rat empire, he gradually finds it difficult to control everything.
The organizational structure of intelligent creatures has limits, but the scale of the physical universe has no limits. I am afraid Qi would not have thought that he would embrace the settlement organization of the wild era again after many years.
One planet after another, countless rats, calculated by billions, calculated by trillions, the rat empire, the pace of the rats, facing the extremely broad physical universe, even Qi can only bow his head.
Looking back at history, it seems that another cycle is about to begin. The rats went from ignorance to organization and aggregation into tribes, and finally opened up living space and defeated the enemy, forming an extremely loose organizational structure.
Faith, managers, military leaders, with such a set of structures, began to face the world and began to expand to the outside world.
Now, it seems that another cycle has begun. The rats who walked into the starry sky and expanded their power have gone from ignorant and weak people who don’t understand anything to gradually seeing this vast world clearly. Now, the rats who occupy such a large territory are leaving the Desolate Mountains again.
How imaginable, Qi also took out this system again.
No, it is still different from before. The current rats, their managers are no longer pious priests, and their military leaders are no longer those noisy rat warlords, but their faith has begun to point to Qi, pointing to him, the rat fanatic who gave up his faith.
In these seven hundred years, he was almost pushed to be a god. This came from the wisdom of the rat people's new religion. They lost their original faith foundation, crawled out of the ruins, cut off their previous selves, and now they have to find a new one to rely on.
So now, who can they rely on? Think carefully, in the entire rat empire, they can rely on and can only rely on one guy.
That is Qi, that is the rat emperor Qi.
It is inevitable for the new religion to approach Qi, because no matter if he approaches other guys or starts from scratch silently, no matter what he does, they will definitely be suspected and guarded. Only by approaching Qi and bowing to Qi, the situation will change, which is allowed. They are not stupid guys, they will definitely make the right choice.
So, after the end of the civil war, Qi's name, his name is more and more tied to greatness and holiness, becoming noble and unapproachable. He is no longer like a rat man, but like a god.
After many twists and turns, everything is back to the starting point. I don't know what Qi's expression was like when he made this decision. I'm afraid it wouldn't be very good, but it wouldn't be too ugly.
So much has passed, and time has been enough to wash away many things.
All mortals, before they really cross that limit, they all have an unknown boundary, that is, the life span of the soul.
The weak souls of mortals cannot cope with the erosion of the long river of time. Year after year, even if the memory is constantly echoed, or even emptied of all desires, this wear and tear will still exist.
The thinking of the rat engineers is correct. Memory, wisdom, emotions, these things are indeed a burden on the soul. The more you think, the more tired your soul will be. The life span of geniuses is always short and often here.
The souls and lives of mortals have limits. If you want to burst out a brighter light, you need to burn yourself more.
Restoring memories again and again and suppressing desires thoroughly are all effective, otherwise the second experimental subject will not be able to break the limit of life.
But how to say it, they ignored one thing, they ignored the existence of the soul. In fact, even today, the rats are not sure whether the soul really exists, even though they began to contact those materialized souls long before leaving the planet.
The soul relies on the body, but is not affected by the body.
If they cannot prevent the wear and tear of the soul, then even if the blockage on the body is done thoroughly, they will never be able to achieve true immortality.
And their route is wrong.
Blocking other unnecessary things to prolong life is a very effective way, but it is not correct.
If you want true immortality, the most important thing is to transcend. Desire should not only not stop, but also be amplified, and burn more hotly. In this way, the seeds of immortality can be born in the flame.
In the past, this seed was called divinity.
To some extent, Qi can indeed be called a god.
In these long years, he really went from a rat man to a cold god, not caring about anything else, just watching, just calmly pushing the rats forward.
He doesn't care about other things.
Well, maybe it's not that he doesn't care. The past few decades seem to have engraved an unforgettable obsession in his heart. Desire pushes him to transcend, but obsession firmly pulls him to the spot.
Even if Qi has the qualifications to become a god, it was not easy to get this qualification in the past, but now, their great god, Du Yuan, has generously spread his path.
The luck of the rat people is indeed exaggerated. If ordinary guys become gods, they may not even see Du Yuan, but for the rat people, their god, the god of desire born among them, can really take on Du Yuan's gaze.
But how to say it, Qi did not choose to accept all this.
He did not want to become a god, but preferred to face all this as a rat king.
I don't know where the obsession came from. Was it the low hum of the white rat in the desolate mountains? A hundred years ago, this guy who was about to be worshipped as a god by the rat people's new religion began his own sleep.
Perhaps in the future, the rats will be able to wake him up, or perhaps forever, the rats will never release this king again. As a statue and symbol, he is hung high.
In the imperial fortress of the fortress star, he sleeps in the exquisite sleeping cabin with many gorgeous patterns.
His departure caused a temporary chaos. The Rat Empire did not operate as he expected. The impact of technology, change, biochemical brain, unmanned machinery, artificial intelligence, these things combined together, completely changed the pattern of the Rat Empire in a very short time.
The original triangle of contradictions, faith, bureaucracy, and war, in this triangle, bureaucracy and war are playing their original roles. The new generation of rat warlords, the rat captains who received the space airworthiness certificate, began to sail and conquer in this universe, and engraved their names on the conquered planets.
The rat bureaucrats maintain the existence of the Rat Empire and ensure the normal operation of this increasingly large and bloated empire.
Finally, finally, the last faith, faith is absent, and the position of faith is replaced by the rat engineers. The new technology and the new future have defeated the rat Protestant Church. The status of the rat engineers has risen steadily, and the reverence and investment in technology and science have become a new trend.
The Inquisition, they failed to stop such a trend. As expected, they exist as a part of the Protestant armed forces, but how to say it, the subspace is spying on the rats more and more, and the Inquisition is frantically suppressing this trend. They even kidnapped the new church that was supposed to take over the power vacuum after the fall of sleep, kidnapped them, and let the Protestant Church invest too much power in the suppression of the subspace during that chaotic period.
This led to the Protestant Church's chess being one step behind, and as we all know, one step behind is basically equal to losing the whole game.
One wrong step directly caused the pattern of the Rat Empire to change drastically.
The progressiveness, technological supremacy, and farsightedness represented by the ratmen engineers began to rise, and this radical and crazy scene happened.
A transformation experiment for all ratmen is about to begin.
