Chapter 662 We Are Pioneers (6200)

In the past two weeks, Ian has indeed been researching the silver chip and the 'computing unit' in the void at night.

Especially after the war, Ian had three more second-level souls, and all of these souls had reached the level where they could be converted into calculation units.

Among them, the "Soul of Snake Rock" has even transformed into a larger "Standard Essence Autonomous Computing Unit".

In other words, it does not need a 'supply unit' to replenish itself and maintain its own existence.

And this structure gave Ian an inspiration in his heart.

"Obviously, the structure of the computing unit transformed from the silver chip is superior to my naturally formed loose soul. I can indeed try to transform my own soul into a similar computing structure to improve my own soul computing power! "

This is the correct conclusion.

When Ian started to transform himself according to the autonomous computing unit on the first day, it was not obvious because the structure of the conversion was still very small.

But as time went by, Ian transformed more souls, and he could clearly feel that his computing power was increasing.

This is the case with the soul. After the second energy level gradually condenses the soul through the transformation of the source, all the processes until the third energy level are to continuously condense it into a stronger structure.

It may be based on belief, or will and ambition. In short, when people's self-awareness reaches a certain level and they have a clear, feasible and persistent belief, the mind light body will appear.

At the same time, the structure of the soul is strengthened.

This is a complementary process.

Ian can change his soul structure so easily, in fact, it is precisely because he has already reached this state - he can distort his soul shape with his imagination beyond ordinary people!
For nearly half a month after the war, Ian has been relying on various comparative observations to determine his own situation.

The results were uncharacteristically good.

He felt that his thinking ability was getting stronger and stronger, and his calculation power was becoming clearer and clearer.

Because the quality of Ian's soul is far higher than those of his subordinates, today, the computing power provided by Ian's own soul alone can be compared to the combined power of five computing units.

Although it may sound complicated, it may be easy to understand simply by describing it.

【—Meditation——】

Yes, it is meditation practice.

With meditation, gradually change your soul structure and improve your computing power...

Isn't this essentially a kind of 'cultivation'? !
What is the essential difference between visualizing some more powerful psychic computing structures to enhance one's computing power, and visualizing those powerful gods and demons to enhance one's sublimation skills?

It may be that computing power cannot directly constitute combat power.

However, sublimators of pre-epoch civilizations do not have direct combat capabilities either!
It was the Era of Terra that provided the Ascendants with their 'power modules' due to the emergence of various alien creatures and bio-weapons.

The potion is not so much the 'essence of the sublimator', but rather 'a part of the essence and a weapon module that forms combat power'.

In other words, as long as Ian finds a 'force module' that can be supported by 'computing power'... then the meditation practice system may be turned into reality!
"This is the first step in the technique I named 'Absolute Way'!"

It was very simple to lead Yadbert to the Void Realm. The other party was originally the king of the subspace labyrinth, but he hadn't taken the initiative to immerse himself in the Void Realm before.

In fact, as the dead king, if he wants to reach the Void Realm, he only needs to 'think' himself—it's just that he is really a good baby, and he really doesn't have any ideas at all.

And after Yadbert came to the Void Realm, Ian directly took out the "basic computing unit" and observed it for the dead king's sphere, which was pure white on the surface but had a crimson soul core, and also said Conjecture about your own plan.

"This is?!"

After Adelbert connected to the computing unit through the soul link, he immediately understood its function.

After Ian's explanation, he quickly understood the meaning of all this.

"This is a way for people to strengthen themselves...not a technology that turns their souls into other people's parts!"

He suddenly became very excited.

But Ian didn't know what to say.

——Uh... who said you can't turn other people into parts?

If I die, my soul will definitely become a high-level calculation unit. At most, the calculation power is stronger than the soul of the dead king, and I may still retain a little self-awareness.

Although the truth is so, Ian is not going to take the initiative to tell Adalbert's misunderstanding, anyway, the point is not here.

"Here."

Ian said: "Do you understand why I want you to restart the dead king's technology?"

"As long as everyone has a soul, everyone can try to imitate the calculation structure of this calculation unit. In this way, no matter how stupid people are, they can strengthen their thinking speed little by little."

"Of course, for people who are really not very smart, no matter how long they exercise, it's just a super calculator. a little."

"But I believe that this is only the initial path - in the future, there will definitely be a structure that can make stupid people smart, and make smart people more genius... People may be unequal, but everyone has to work hard to pursue it." Take over the power of others!"

"Yes."

Hearing the first words, Yadbert cooled down from his excitement, and he frowned: "In this case... Ian, the 'Absolute Way' you mentioned is actually aimed at us 'smart people'. ' a more favorable path."

"It's better to say that this is tailor-made for us! Because most of the time, we can think of everything, but we are limited by the speed of thinking and cannot think comprehensively, but if we have extra computational thinking, we can think in every way."

"But for many people... simply improving their computing power and speeding up their thinking speed can't make them really understand the calculation formulas they can't figure out, and the math puzzles they don't know. No matter how fast they calculate, they can't figure it out."

"If in the future, we develop a 'power module' that can be converted from 'computing power', won't the gap between people be even greater?"

However, Ian's subsequent words also inspired some motivation for Adalbert. He cheered himself up: "Yes, it is indeed difficult."

"But these difficulties are exactly the problems we researchers need to solve!"

"What's more, how can there be such a stupid person? And it's better than the way of sublimation."

——That's not necessarily the case.

Ian is a little more pessimistic, because he has much more experience than Debert...God knows that there are billions or even tens of billions of people in the Terra continent, how many fools think it is a pre-epoch civilization?
Oh, pre-epoch civilization also had idiots.

It is better to count on a fool to be redeemed than to expect him to be smarter in his next life.

Facing Adalbert's words, Ian just turned himself around and made a gesture like shaking his head: "In short, for most people, the arcane path can bring about self-improvement, which can be felt personally. It’s true, there is an improvement in the feeling of becoming stronger every day!”

At this time, his soul has shown a special structure, which is similar to the heart light body, the shape of a blue cross star.

As Ian continued to solidify and change his soul form, his mind light body became clearer.

When Ian completely completes his soul transformation, he will be the first to have the heart light body before advancing to the third energy level of Terra. This is something he can be sure of.

Because I can personally experience the benefits, Ian is quite reassuring in recommending it.

"yes……"

Adalbert sighed, then smiled.

He stared at Ian and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, tell me the way and tell me the plans."

"Ian...I will do my best to help you go down this path!"

"Okay!" Ian was also very happy: "Then next, help me develop artificial intelligence!"

Adbert: "Huh? Why does it feel like the topic is jumping?"

Even from the perspective of a professional researcher, Adalbert couldn't keep up with Ian's brain circuit for a while.

"I just recently got a copy of the empire's artificial intelligence template for combat. I think Grand Duke Sorin should have similar information, you understand? Now there is such a convenient thing as a computing unit, how can we not create artificial intelligence? Utilize it? And with it, how convenient it is to assist in the management of the territory!"

Ian felt that his thinking was very coherent. He talked eloquently: "You see, if a person has a soul, he can link with the computing unit. If it is an artificial intelligence supported by the computing unit, it must also be able to link."

"Adelbert, the reason why I want to ask you to develop an 'artificial soul' is to hope that you can develop a soul model that can form an interface with them based on the 'computing unit' and 'artificial intelligence'... in this way , everyone in Lingmin has a soul, and they can all be linked with the artificial intelligence of Void Realm, and more functions can be developed in the future, and many of the corruption and fraud that exist now will no longer appear..."

This inspiration comes from Ian's 'electronic brain' in his previous life.

In essence, the electronic brain is a transformation of the brain that is available to all people on the earth in that era. It allows people to have the computing power of a high-end computer, improve their memory to the point where they can never forget, and can freely learn any knowledge they want to learn. , You can also connect to the Internet through the electronic brain.

Even if the body dies, as long as the electronic brain made of high-strength alloy is not completely destroyed, human beings can still survive.

Strictly defined, isn't the so-called electronic brain a kind of physical soul?
It's just that Terra's soul function is too few and too weak now, so it needs to continue to develop related technologies.

Because of this, Ian has always been very interested in the technology of artificial souls.

"and,"

Thinking of this, Ian decided to express his truest thoughts: "After all members have souls, the larger the population, the more 'free source matter' can be produced, and more 'computing units' can be produced. ...It may take 1 people, [-] ordinary souls, and the free source quality spilled over a few months to increase one calculation unit...but this is a sustainable and purely profitable enhancement method."

"This is a virtuous circle. As long as the people have enough souls, the computing units and artificial intelligence will become stronger and stronger."

"In this way, when my territory develops and grows..."

Ian hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "Perhaps, we will have enough computing power to analyze the 'standard model' of the source matter structure in Warcraft."

"In this way, perhaps, we can use the huge computing power of artificial intelligence to create a 'sublimator' out of thin air without the need for magical beast materials!"

This is Ian's deepest plan.

As early as in the imperial capital, Ian had a similar idea when he was researching potions.

At that time, he thought, if everyone in human beings has powerful computing power, then they can directly condense the corresponding source quality structure with their own soul, and then become a sublimator.

A kind of "practice" who can be successfully "cultivated" by relying on bit by bit visualization and shaping.

However, with that kind of computing power, you can become a sublimator just by computing power—how can you still condense the structure of a mere first-level monster?

This is an unsolvable paradox...Unless the technology develops to an incredible level, it is impossible for an individual to have the ability to shape the source material structure of a monster in a short period of time.

And if technology develops to that point, there is no need for individuals to shape the source quality structure.

However, the dead king, the combination of computing units and artificial intelligence...brought great inspiration to Ian.

The dead king's "all souls work together to form a strong man" is essentially to raise funds to strengthen a person, but it is only a one-off.

The "computing unit" as the prototype of the dead king has general-purpose and reusable computing power, but it can't do anything with computing power alone, it still depends on the quality of the individual.

This is also the reason why the dead king needs a strong man to become a 'king'.

Because if you give a fool the power of the dead king, he will only blow himself up to death, and he will not be able to carry the wishes of the dead souls at all.

And artificial intelligence's stable use of computing power...maybe it can assist Ian to achieve the ambitious goal of 'sublimation without potion', which is enough to change the world!
Through the source quality overflowed by the souls of the people, new computing units are continuously derived, and the souls of the people support the replenishment of the computing units and the artificial intelligence, so that the artificial intelligence can gradually accumulate enough computing power to replicate the source of the potion quality structure!
At that time, as long as the source quality is sufficient, artificial intelligence will be able to mass-produce first-level sublimators!

Although they are all the same potion, with the gradual growth of artificial intelligence, there will definitely be more and more potion structures that it can reproduce!

As for the second energy level... maybe only some outstanding talents can be selected.

The third energy level... is too far away.

"Too, too beautiful..."

Adalbert's soul sphere was trembling. If it was real, the young researcher must be holding his heart and breathing rapidly, shocked by the 'future' that Ian said.

A sublimator who does not need potions... For the current Terra, she has broken too many shackles.

Even if a high-level sublimator cannot be produced for a while, even if only a first-level sublimator can be produced, this concept is equivalent to completely eliminating the gap between the sublimator and ordinary people today.

yes.For high-energy level powerhouses, low-energy level sublimators are no different from ordinary people.

But at the end of the day, the gap narrowed, didn't it?
As long as there is progress, it is a great thing.

But, after all, Yadbert is a smart person.

After the initial excitement, he immediately thought of a flaw in Ian's plan.

"In this case."

He was a little confused: "Isn't the source of all power coming from the 'owner of artificial intelligence', that is, you, Ian?"

"The current potion formula, the method of refining potion, and various monster materials, although they seem to be monopolized, but ordinary people can still get them... But if it is true, as you said, Ian, it will be collected by artificial intelligence Huge computing power, direct production of sublimators, then who can become a sublimator, doesn't it become the personal decision of the master of artificial intelligence? This is a completely unanimous, more terrifying world of solitary husbands than now..."

"It is true that I am making the computing unit now, and I can be regarded as the caretaker of artificial intelligence..."

Ian glanced at Adalbert strangely: "But when the artificial intelligence in the future can autonomously reproduce the computing unit and supply unit, won't that have nothing to do with me?"

"And, why does an artificial intelligence have a master?"

“Isn’t the reason we’re building artificial intelligences so they can still work automatically without us?”

Adalbert froze.

"Artificial intelligence only needs to operate according to the originally set program. It can operate without a master, just like those machine gods in the virtual world. After wandering around for such a long time, they are still operating and executing their own. The mission of the Void-- until now, the Void-Machine has almost become a phenomenon of the Void, even if human beings are destroyed and completely disappeared, the Void-Machine will still exist."

"The artificial intelligence I want to create is something like this... something that can continue to function even if we die, disappear, and cease to exist."

Ian said calmly, he didn't seem to care about this kind of problem at all: "Besides, in Terra, there are too many such things."

The young man looked into the deepest part of the Void Realm, and said softly, "To be honest, it's like the inscription."

"Why can the specific graphics and traces of the inscription trigger changes in the source matter and the spiritual energy field? They are obviously not mysterious at all."

"In my opinion, the inscriptions and many source quality structures, in essence, are likely to be some kind of program designed by a super civilization, omitting all complicated places, transforming the world in the most foolish way, and then converting this Throw out the power obtained after transforming the world, so that other civilizations can freely use the 'programs' they created."

"Isn't this a kind of artificial intelligence?"

"But for the vast majority of Terrans, it's all like 'laws of nature' and 'laws of truth'... No one thinks about it."

"Everyone doesn't know the real principle behind it, but only knows the most superficial 'phenomenon' - friction can cause fire, everyone knows, but why friction can cause fire is too complicated to explain."

"Adelbert, we are pioneers."

"We are now doing 'complicated things'."

From being stunned at the beginning, Adalbert is now shocked.

What Ian said, even in his many years of research career, he would not have thought of it.

It's not that Adalbert is not smart and has no scientific skepticism.

In fact, the fact that Adalbert was able to put forward so many opinions on Ian's plan is a manifestation of his extremely skeptical and scientific research spirit.

But for the people of Terra, the inscription is the field that can induce source matter and psionic energy.

Just like lighting a fire to boil water, apples just fall to the ground.

This is an instinctive cognition engraved at the bottom of the bloodline long before their civilization was formed.

However, how long can it take for a creature to develop intelligence from birth to civilization?
But millions of years...

On the scale of the universe, it is just an instant.

Creatures born in the universe of Terra may never think about these things.

But Ian is not.

He was reincarnated.

He has memories and knowledge of another universe, another completely different 'cognitive contrasting frame of reference'.

he can.

And, Ian knew.

He knows that there is a super civilization in this universe that can create a "prisoner star prison", and almost all the stars on the sky are covered with this layer of prison.

He knows that the universe is vast and boundless, and that civilizations that can do this are almost indistinguishable from gods.

Therefore, he can guess and question what other people think is no different from 'truth'.

"We humans are not a species that can directly see the truth. What we see with our eyes is like seeing things through a mirror. It is all illusory and hazy."

At this moment, Ian softly recited the "proverbs" that Hilliard said when he first guided himself on the path of ascension.

He laughed, pure and sincere like a child: "So everything can be faked to cultivate the truth—just as the source quality structure reproduced by artificial intelligence is 'false' compared to the real Warcraft source quality structure, but it is As far as being 'true' - it's all the same."

"Adelbert, you asked me how to ensure that artificial intelligence is not used by individuals... The answer is actually very simple."

Ian looked at the dead king, and he said calmly: "As long as no one else knows, there is an artificial intelligence that can turn people into 'sublimators', and completely black-box this matter."

"Then for other people in later generations, being able to rely on meditation and meeting specific rules and conditions to become a sublimator is essentially no different from a great existence in the virtual world making a deal for power."

"Even this great existence is a 'law of nature' for future generations."

"But... even if we don't talk about it until now..." Adbert was completely overwhelmed by Ian's thoughts now, but he still muttered to himself: "There will definitely be smart people in future generations who can discover all this The truth...they'll find out."

"Isn't that a very simple thing? A smart person discovers the 'laws of nature' and 'summarizes' them? What's the big deal?"

"Even now, we cannot be sure that the various 'truths and laws' we have discovered are not certain rules formulated by some super civilization."

Ian said calmly, even indifferently: "What's more...First of all, Terra must have a future, and we can successfully create the arcane path."

"The things in the future are the things in the future. Even the prophet can't control that much."

"At the end of the day, my purpose..."

—just to go to the high heavens.

— That's all.

【If my behavior will affect all beings in the future... I won't say I'm sorry】
