Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

Tiandu, Security Bureau conference hall building, underground parking garage.

The dim lights, the occasional sound of engine starting ringing in the ears, the cars crossing the driveway and leaving the parking garage from time to time, and the flash of AI detection make up this environment that seems to be isolated from the bustling outside world.

And right next to a seemingly ordinary black car, a discussion on civility was taking place.

The existence of omnics itself is a crisis for us?

Listening to Yan Sheng's words, Su Zhou didn't react at first. He was a little puzzled and said: If they don't oppose us, how can it be considered a crisis?

But after thinking for a while, the young man quickly understood.

——Indeed.

Su Zhou nodded slightly, and said to himself thoughtfully: Indeed, the 'Fu Sangshen' that randomly opens its soul is different from the AI ​​that awakens its soul.

There are even fundamental differences.

Why?

it's actually really easy.

That's what it was created for.

When AI awakens its soul and autonomous wisdom, it actually won't have much of an impact - at least not as big as a collapse.

After all, AI is designed and created essentially because humans want an intelligence to work in this position.

Just like in-vehicle AI, if it has intelligence that is close to or even equal to humans, that would actually be a good thing. Even if the AI ​​that enlightens the soul does not want to continue its job of driving for people, then it still has enough capital. and wisdom to work in other positions, or as a free individual, and humans are happy to see the results.

For itself and the position of vehicle-mounted AI, this does not lose anything. It is nothing more than that the position of vehicle-mounted AI has become a production line for cultivating intelligent individuals.

What's wrong with this? In essence, there is no difference between wild beasts or farmed spiritual beasts, where an awakened intelligent spiritual beast randomly appears. Everyone, including the beast himself, is happy to hear about it.

But what if there is no need for wisdom, but a stable 'mechanical production line' to awaken the wisdom, and really become a monster like Fu Sangshen, an intelligent individual... then what should we do?

Su Zhou just thought about it briefly and couldn't help but shake his head.

If this production line monster is willing to continue working, I am afraid that neither the factory nor the country dares to let it continue to work, right?

After all, the rights of intelligent beings are very different from the rights of tools. If we treat them casually, it will chill the hearts of the vast number of enlightened intelligent beings, and the other party's work situation will no longer be stable.

And a production unit that cannot guarantee stability is essentially the same as a working individual that cannot guarantee stability. It is easy to be fired. This has nothing to do with whether it is an AI that has awakened wisdom or a monster, even if it is a human being.

As for the precision production line's ability to produce intelligence and its inability to work, Su Zhou didn't know how much harm it would do to the workers who relied on this production line... but thinking about it, many people would definitely be affected.

Moreover, the scariest thing is actually not the overall spiritual enlightenment, but the partial spiritual enlightenment.

Thinking of this, Su Zhou raised his head, and he calmly saw through the key points of this theory: If the whole body is enlightened, perhaps the integrity of the tool itself can be ensured by taking out the soul separately and transferring it to other bodies. ——But if the wisdom is partially awakened, then the moment it is born, it will create huge chaos and destruction, causing irreversible losses.

[Yes, that’s true, that’s the truth. 】

Although Yan Sheng is just a voice, one can imagine that he nodded appreciatively: [A house has only one wall with a commemorative date engraved on it. If it becomes a monster and leaves its original 'post', the house will collapse. 】

[A rocket that condenses the efforts of countless people in the entire team, and the engine that condenses the efforts finally activates. It does not even need to act randomly, it only needs to slightly deviate from the original plan, and change a little bit insignificantly, this condensed Without the new blood of countless people, one of the highest creations of human civilization will have errors and leaks, and then it will self-destruct or crash. 】

[The characteristic of modern human technological civilization is its closeness and interlocking. that is, following mechanical order. 】

[But Kailing is different. Its existence itself will cause the stable internal order of the machine to become an impurity mixed with 'individual intelligence'. 】

Yan Shengju’s example is not surprising.

Not only Su Zhou, but also Tang Yuan on the side thought of many examples at this moment and couldn't help but frown.

——The main processor and motherboard of the computer activated and turned into a motherboard monster, but the screen, CPU, memory, hard drive and graphics card were not functioning properly. The aura was chaotic and affected the conduction of current, so that the entire computer could not be used normally. He said Information stored accidentally may be erased.

——Some parts of the mobile phone suddenly turned into battery monsters, communication chip monsters or screen monsters, so that people who were reading novels, playing games, or having remote meetings suddenly had their screens black out and were unable to continue their entertainment. Or work...

Thinking of this, Tang Yuan couldn't help but turn his head, and with some worry in his heart, he looked at the black car where the on-board AI was.

Just like the AI ​​that I am familiar with...it is just the AI ​​host and the engine that activate to form a soul body - this is actually quite good, because the AI ​​host itself has the authority to control the engine, and the AI ​​host is generating the soul. It has the ability to stabilize the engine before. It has a soul and does not affect the work. On the contrary, it can make the work of in-vehicle AI more humane.

But what if, in this car, it was the tires, the doors, or the steering wheel that turned on?

When the car is driving well, suddenly the tires fall off while driving, the door suddenly opens when someone passes by, the steering wheel fails when you need to dodge something... What should you do?

Don't say it's impossible. In Tang Yuan's free time, he occasionally watches some traffic accident highlights. There shouldn't be too many situations where the car is driving and the tires fly off on their own.

Although everyone joked that it was the wheel is pursuing the path of freedom, but if it really happened to me, it would not be something to laugh about.

But, Holy See, the situation you mentioned is a bit unlikely...

Thinking of this, Tang Yuan couldn't help but shudder, but after thinking about it, he always felt that something was wrong, so even though he was afraid, he still spoke and asked the majestic Holy Seat: How can a whole person be enlightened alone? It’s almost like a person has only arms or certain internal organs that can practice cultivation. It’s simply too weird...

Why not?

But this time, it was Dao Sheng who spoke.

The old man smiled and stroked his beard, and he laughed and said: Who defines the whole? Who stipulates that only the whole can open the soul? Is it you and me or the truth of heaven? Let's not talk about this, why do you think some human beings can practice cultivation, while others But some humans can’t, even if their parents are practitioners?”

That's precisely because the talent of human cultivation is based on the consistent attraction frequency of the whole body and soul to 'spiritual energy'. The more the frequencies are consistent, the higher the attraction rate and the higher the talent - and even parents are As a practitioner, every organ and cell of a child has a high frequency of attraction when taken alone. However, if these highly configured organs are not coordinated enough together, it will lead to low cultivation talent. On the other hand, as long as the convergence rate is enough, High, even if the basic configuration is not good, the talent is not much different.

This is why cultivation talent can only depend on luck, not bloodline.

In the human body, it is possible for each organ to open up independently, but other organs cannot. Otherwise, what would happen to so many strange supernatural diseases after the spiritual energy is revived? Just like in Yansheng's electronic Hades, no Is there a typical patient? That lady's brain is bright, but her nervous system is not, resulting in poor memory access, and she almost becomes dementia or even a vegetative state...and this disease is almost incurable.

Typical supernatural diseases are caused by the body being awakened but the brain and thinking not changing.

Saying this, Dao Sheng waved his hand, his tone was quite emotional.

As the Holy See who governs most of the official supernatural beings in Zhengguo, he has been tormented by various cases caused by supernatural diseases in recent times.

Thinking of those patients with extraordinary diseases who are extremely difficult to predict and can only be found by the new version of the 'Eye for Evil' developed by Su Zhou, the old man couldn't help but sigh: Actually, there is a simpler example...for example, cancer .”

Cancer cells and tumors are just examples of things that belong to your body and have their own way of existence... And in a large production system or a large industrial system, a single tool can cause so much damage. , as troublesome as a tumor.”

This is troublesome.

In this regard, Su Zhou didn't say too much nonsense. He clasped his hands on his chest and frowned slightly: To solve this problem, I'm afraid we can only create a forbidden zone in the key production factory to prevent the relevant equipment from being activated - but In this case, it is a bit too much and not enough.”

As he spoke, Su Zhou found fault with himself.

Because this will lead to the de-spiritualization of production methods, which will cause trouble for the new era technology that has begun to merge technology and supernatural power.

It's actually very simple. The new document that Yan Sheng and I talked about before was to solve this problem.

Dao Sheng glanced at Su Zhou who was thinking, and then looked at the black car AI who had been silent and seemed to dare not speak.

He said calmly: That is to improve new production methods and carry out additional transformations of different specifications on different production equipment, tools and various products.

Just like the speaking artifact, Su Zhou, your magic sword, the electronic AI host, and various artifacts that are originally needed to open spirits. These artifacts leave channels for them to awaken spirits, and even set up guiding talismans. The Wen Zhen Road not only prevents the barbaric growth of spirit bodies, but also accelerates the birth of weapon spirits through modern means.

As for some minor tools and products, such as cars, airplanes, houses, etc., they are connected with the rune array, so that even if it is activated, it will be a whole, and it will not activate several parts separately... and At the same time, this can also reduce the chance of them opening their spirits, and only truly outstanding spirits can be born from them.”

Having said this, the old man couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: Of course, such transformation of the production process will greatly increase the cost, and it will take a long time to replace it. That's why I told Yan Sheng before that I didn't expect this situation to happen. So fast...

After all, according to what Fusang said in Yingzhou, Fu Sangshen takes a long time to be born. Even if it is a lucky artifact, it will take more than ten years to give birth to a soul.

And your AI car is obviously a creation of the new era, but it has a complete and independent spirit body in just four years. It is really fast, five or six years earlier than we imagined.

I guess there may be some additional factors. Hearing this, Su Zhou couldn't help but turned his head thoughtfully and looked at Tang Yuan.

The pale young man smiled awkwardly and didn't know where to look.

Taoist Saint also looked at Tang Yuan, and he also showed a subtle smile.

Sheng Xi, who had completely rejuvenated and turned into a middle-aged appearance, reached out and patted Tang Yuan on the shoulder, saying in a gentle tone: Young man, your magical powers are very extraordinary.

I remember your name is Tang Yuan, right? Although you are a descendant of the Tang family, you almost went astray, but you are a good boy. He often helps disabled children in need. It is recorded in your records. He has a good heart.

Your magical power has great potential. Although it has not been determined yet, I dare to say that it is definitely a kind of native high-level soul-type magical power, with the characteristics of opening the ghost, opening the soul, endowing the soul, enlightening, breaking through the realm, etc... ...With such ability, it is actually a bit humiliating for you to be just a secretary to the minister in the New World Exploration Department.

So, do you feel that your current job is not suitable for you? If so, then I can introduce it to you...

Hey, hey, stop, please stop!

At first, Su Zhou looked quite happy when he heard someone praising his subordinates.

But the further he heard, the more wrong his expression became.

It wasn't until Tao Sheng exposed his ambitions and began to seduce Tang Yuan that Su Zhou had a dark face and stretched out his hand while laughing like Hahaha, you will be poached one day! in Yala's heart. The old man stopped and said: Don't poach randomly - Tang Yuan is my most important subordinate, and there is no one else. You are not allowed to steal my people!

Tang Yuan, on the other hand, stayed aside and shivered - of course he had no intention of changing jobs. After all, although working for Su Zhou was tiring, with his authority in the New World Exploration Department, one person was more powerful than ten thousand people. Still quite comfortable.

As for being tired... Where can I not be tired from work? At least as the leader, Su Zhou sincerely treated him as an equal, communicated with him as a friend, and took care of him from time to time... Could this be done in other places? I guess it's not possible.

Couldn't ask for more.

Oh, don't be nervous, Professor Xiao Su, we are actually serving the country and the future of all mankind.

Seeing the vigilant expression on Su Zhou's face, Tao Sheng withdrew his hand on Tang Yuan's shoulder with some pity. He said seriously: Anyway, Secretary Tang Yuan, I personally think that the rapid enlightenment of the in-vehicle AI may be related to yours. Your talent and magical powers have a lot to do with it. If you have time, you can come to the relevant departments of the Security Bureau for a more detailed high-level test. I believe you will definitely gain something.

You can go for it, Tang Yuan. Now that I think about it, your ability is indeed quite magical.

Su Zhou didn't have any objections to this point - after all, this was indeed beneficial to Tang Yuan's future, and he was also the captain of the Special Operations Brigade of the Security Bureau, and the Security Bureau was also within his own sphere of influence.

At this point, the topic is almost over.

Su Zhou turned his head and looked at the black limousine that nominally belonged to him but was actually used by Tang Yuan. He couldn't help but sigh: After all, an AI with a soul should be considered an independent intelligent life form. Bar?

“In this regard, does Jungkook have a relevant smart life bill?”

【have. 】

At this moment, Yan Sheng replied. The Holy See, who was an authority in the relevant field, gave a brief explanation: [Just some time ago, when Su Zhou went abroad for a series of visits, the Thirty-six Saints internal meeting passed the relevant bill... Originally It has been wrangling for more than ten years, but because of the current situation, everyone knows that there is no point in arguing in this regard, so it was passed. 】

Tao Sheng nodded slightly at this.

He himself does not oppose the bill, but there are many conservatives in Thirty-Six Saints and people who are at odds with Yan Sheng. The failure to pass artificial intelligence-related bills is a method of internal struggle.

However, in the current situation of the world, if there is still internal friction, we will be attacked by a group of people.

Therefore, Yan Sheng, who belongs to the technological radical side, can be regarded as getting his wish and having many restrictions relaxed.

After all, to put it bluntly, this is similar to Taoism - as long as AI learns our human culture, then even if it is a part of human beings, the monster race can be a tributary of 'humanity', then 'AI' and 'intelligent machines' will naturally be Yes. In terms of learning speed, extraordinary human beings are not slower than AI, and they are more comprehensive.

As he said this, Taoist Saint's eyes became distant, and his tone was firm: In the past, immortals and gods had the capacity to accept all things as themselves, but now, although we have not yet reached that level, we have the same ambition.

[In the final analysis, we do not exclude ‘tools’ from possessing ‘wisdom’. 】

Yan Sheng also said, his tone calm and filled with emotion: [In the final analysis, what is the difference between a machine being transformed into a human being and a beast being transformed into a human being? We can accept the world of beast gods, and naturally we can also accept fusangshen and intelligent AI. After all, by accepting them, we also have their power. We can use the advantages of the bloodline of mythical beasts to strengthen ourselves, arm our bodies and brains with superior machinery and chips, and even, like me, devote ourselves to the endless network information space. . This is also the right path. 】

[The problem is that ‘randomness’ turns order into chaos, which can cause harm and losses to people. 】

Speaking of this...

Speaking of this, Su Zhou also narrowed his eyes slightly. He remembered what he had wanted to say before, but was interrupted by Taoist Saint poaching Tang Yuan.

The young man touched his chin and said: Yansheng, when you talk about transforming the production line, in addition to 'standardizing spirit opening' and 'integrating spirit opening and increasing the difficulty of spirit opening', there should also be a 'forbidden spirit opening', right?

【indeed. For example, various production lines, as well as rockets, spacecraft engines, some supercomputers, large network servers, transportation networks such as railways and subways, power grids, nuclear power plants, etc., related facilities and equipment that are related to people's livelihood, we will all bear in mind the Sanling Array ', suppressing their spiritualization process. 】

Yan Sheng's tone paused, and then he said: [This is necessary. For example, if the reactor in our chemical plant is working, but other supporting facilities are not, and then it is unwilling to work... then we have no other response except replacing the reactor. 】

[But in this case, let alone the losses suffered by the factory, what can the reactor do after it turns into a monster? Make elixirs yourself and continue working? How should it be practiced, and who will guide it? 】

【This is just an example. In fact, there are many people in this world who are enlightened and can cause big troubles, not only causing pain to others, but also causing pain to themselves. 】

Speaking of this, Yan Sheng was silent for a while, and then sighed: [Actually, we have already tasted the related bitter pills - just like the first controllable core in our country, which simulates the three-legged Golden Crow inner elixir. The fusion power station, because its core part opened up and turned into a demon, caused the related sites to be completely destroyed, and several core engineers were unfortunately killed... At that time, Professor Su, you happened to be traveling to a different world and were not in the country, and we also suppressed the news. . 】

[This still has not succeeded in transforming the demon into a spirit. It is just that some of them have related signs of incomplete spiritual transformation, which has led to such a huge loss. And if it succeeds, then a raging nuclear fusion demon will do harm to the people before it is suppressed. How much damage was caused to property? In this regard, although it is a bit cruel, stability is still the priority. We will not allow this series of 'tools', 'production facilities' and 'strategic equipment' to have their own will, or even make everything possible. 】

[Just like the gods, they will not allow extremely dangerous creations such as the 'Xuanyin Blood Evil Pond', 'Xianxian Platform' and 'Exiled Immortal Pond' to have their own wisdom. 】

Su Zhou also nodded silently.

In this regard, he will definitely support the decision of all the saints and will not argue blindly.

You can’t always say, ‘Controllable nuclear fusion power stations also have their own dreams! ’, so you support the other party’s transformation into a demon? This is too irresponsible.

In any case, it is better to suppress and control it from the source than to have to suffer the consequences after an unexpected birth.

This is a situation where both parties are responsible. Otherwise, it would be like knowing that the child is destined to be disabled, with defects in the brain and body, before and during pregnancy, but still insist on getting pregnant, and then carry the child for ten months. Born that way.

No matter how you put it, it is a troublesome thing. If it is not handled well, it will cause the collapse of social order. If you are not careful, it will be an 'omnic disaster'.

Therefore, simply start from the source and don't let them be born - anyway, if the spiritual power does not converge here, it will converge elsewhere, and there is no real lack of anything.

But this incident still made Su Zhou feel a little emotional.

I didn't expect that such a small thing that is difficult to notice could create a disaster that affects all mankind... Fortunately, I informed everyone about the imminent destruction of the universe. Otherwise, it would have been just related to The implementation of the rules, regulations and procedures will take several years in meetings.”

Thinking of this, Su Zhou chuckled. He raised his hand and stared at the palm print in his hand: It seems that my decision is right. There are some things that should be spoken out when there is no need to hide them.

If we are accidentally a step too late and a spiritual tide starts to spread around the world, it will really be a disaster.

Although Su Zhou sighed with emotion, all this has not happened yet.

And it looks like it won’t happen again in the future.

The topic is over.

Daosheng and Yansheng left here after registering the on-board AI number of the black car. They are all busy people, and among other things, they cannot afford to neglect their spiritual practice.

Just in case, they will give priority to reviewing the production lines of this batch of vehicle-mounted AI, and then launch a nationwide AI survey to observe how sophisticated the current equipment is, so as to determine the relevant parameters for the next production line transformation. planning process and time.

Su Zhou and Tang Yuan also got in the car.

Let's take a stroll first. I have a meeting all day. Let's take a rest first.

Lying in the back seat of the car, the young man said lazily, and the car AI replied happily and gently: [Okay, Mr. Su. 】

[The roaming route has been determined. I wish you a pleasant journey. 】

Thank you.

Sitting in the car, Su Zhou turned his head and looked at the street scenery passing by outside the window.

Modern skyscrapers, as well as people coming and going in various costumes. Bustling shops, smiling and energetic people. There are countless novel creations, as well as people who use these creations to enjoy new era technologies.

Everything in civilization is based on the people.

Watching all this, Su Zhou couldn't help but nodded slightly.

The civilization of immortals is indeed very advanced in dealing with spiritualized individuals. After all, powerful immortals are themselves a civilization as a whole.

Unlike modern society, immortals and gods have all the technologies, whether it is refining elixirs and weapons, practicing fighting, or drawing talisman and setting up formations, or deducing divination. They create value by themselves, consume value by themselves, and are all means of production. A collection of machines.”

So no matter what kind of thing opens the spirit, whether it is a sword, armor, clothing, magic weapon, or even anything else that opens the spirit, with individual wisdom, it can be controlled by him again - and for immortals, no matter what tools have Without wisdom, there is no difference. Just as individual human beings are almost tools to mankind as a whole, the same is true for magic weapons that open spirits to immortals.

Because, immortals are super beings that are 'higher than a single intelligent life form'.

Although he thought so in his heart, Su Zhou had no intention of becoming an immortal.

Even though he already had the strength to be regarded as a true immortal god in the Central Divine Court of the past, at most it lacked some foundation in some aspects due to lack of time accumulation, Su Zhou did not have the slightest desire to recognize this identity.

Very simple.

Although the immortals and gods are powerful, their thinking logic always lacks a real concern for the people at the bottom.

Their love and their protection, in the final analysis, are at most just expectations. They hope that people similar to themselves will appear among the people at the bottom, and at the same time, they protect the anchor points related to themselves.

The path of the immortals obviously has its advantages, but it also has its flaws. Only by absorbing the advantages and abandoning the mistakes can it be called progress and innovation.

At this point, current human civilization is doing quite well.

Turning his gaze away from the street view outside the car window, Su Zhou turned his head and looked at Tang Yuan with a half-smile, who had always remained silent and had not dared to speak since he was poached.

The young man joked: Why, Tang Yuan, have you finally realized that you have strong magical powers?

But to be honest, your spiritual transformation actually allowed disabled people to see the light. When I heard the sound, I knew that it was definitely not an ordinary spiritual power... And if you also use related magical powers on cars, , it is not surprising at all that incomplete 'AI' and even 'dead objects' can gain life. This is probably the magical effect of 'attunement' and 'opening of spirits'.

However, if you, a guy like you, go around unscrupulously reviving dead things, you might actually create a large number of 'omnics' and 'monsters', causing trouble to people. It's no wonder that the Taoist Saints want to Keep you under guard to avoid any possible trouble in the future.”

Although it seems like just poaching, the young man knows very well that being poached into an important confidential department is actually equivalent to being sealed.

Except for related research and practice, members of the relevant departments can't do anything.

To use a foreign term, it is probably ‘sealed designation’.

As for Su Zhou's teasing, Tang Yuan was speechless at first, but later on, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Minister, you are slandering! He said angrily: I'm not lonely enough to do such a thing... Even this car will only use magical powers to drive when necessary!

If my magical power can really speed up spiritual transformation and create omnics and monsters, and I really want to create omnics, I must be so bored that I would do it if I want to find someone to talk to!

Having said this, Tang Yuan looked at Su Zhou with an almost 'sad' look. He muttered angrily in a low voice: And now, I am so busy at work and I have to take care of Leng Xiaxia. I have extra time on weekdays. Go to a primary school for people with disabilities and be a volunteer... This kind of life is really 'fulfilling'. How can I find the time to build any omnics!

Just saying it's a possibility.

Su Zhou shrugged. He also didn't feel that Tang Yuan was really that free.

Things like the omnic crisis must have nothing to do with Tang Yuan, who is so harmless to humans and animals.

But having said that, he also remembered something.

Speaking of which, I said last time that I wanted to give the in-vehicle AI a name. Now that it even has its own soul, it's time for it to have a name, right?

With that said, Su Zhou sat upright in his seat. He looked curiously at where the car's AI host was, and then asked, Tang Yuan, have you ever thought about naming it?

I haven't thought about it yet... Even though I'm the one who uses it the most, in the end it's still your car. It's really not good for me to name it.

Hey, it's such a small thing... but it just so happens that the car has a soul and an independent intelligent life, so we don't have to worry about it.

Tang Yuan was cautious, and out of character, he refused to do things that might make other people unhappy, but Su Zhou obviously didn't care about this aspect.

He asked the unnamed car AI with great interest: AI, are you interested in naming yourself? I don't mind.

[Now that you have given permission. 】

In response, the on-board AI said softly: [Start running the naming algorithm. 】

A few seconds later, Su Zhou and Tang Yuan, who were looking forward to it, saw an unexpected answer appear on the car's screen.
