It is strictly forbidden to collapse people [Unlimited]

Shen Yongle was stunned for a moment, and finally came back to his senses, and sighed softly: "So that's how it is."

At the same time, another slightly unfamiliar voice came to mind: "So it's like this..."

Shen Yongle was startled, and then quickly reacted: "Are you... the Messiah?"

The Messiah had no time to answer him.

He seemed to be fighting fiercely with someone, but because he was distracted at that moment, he was robbed of the opportunity, and he was so anxious that he couldn't care about other things and shouted directly: "Yanyan, don't make trouble..."

Yan also snorted coldly: "Just make trouble."

Shen Yongle's heart moved slightly, and he vaguely guessed what happened.

However, the next moment, the entire ground shook suddenly.

Shen Yongle was startled, and quickly raised his head to look at Mo Jue.

Before he could say anything, Yu Jia's highest-level alarm sounded suddenly.

Mo Jue only paused for half a second before quickly returning to his senses, stepped forward a few steps, and switched the screen directly to the base monitoring.

Then... I was stunned.

The sky darkened in the blink of an eye, and the sandstorm rolled down from the sky, dragging a mighty tail between the clouds, spanning thousands of miles, breaking the sky and the earth, like a god opening the giant eyes overlooking the world.

In the endless high sky, the blue-green aurora is like the waves passed by the oars of the gods, surrounded by white dwarf clouds, and billions of stars rotate and meet like dust. ring……

The desolate wasteland and the bustling city that Shen Yongle had seen overlapped and alternated in the blink of an eye, the boundary between reality and virtuality was broken, and countless normal or terrifying NPCs appeared in every corner of the world in the doomsday game.

All of Yujia's monitoring systems turned on red lights, and harsh sirens and loud exclamations resounded throughout the base.

screaming and chaos everywhere

Ordinary people were chased by monsters and fled all the way to Yujia base, asking for help from the guards with guns at the gate.

Medieval horse-drawn carriages appear in cramped office buildings, trampling unsuspecting crowds.

The magician who was chanting was interrupted by tall buildings that suddenly appeared, and the dragon roared and spewed flames and burned half of the city.

NPCs, players, and ordinary humans were equally at a loss and fled in all directions. In just a moment, the main plot of all the dungeons collapsed like a beach fortress under the tide.

But even more terrible is not these.

The nameless fog began to spread, and countless indescribable old rulers raised their heads and screamed, enraged by the attacks of ignorant humans.

A terrifying long and narrow crack appeared in the sky, and a black figure flapping its wings opened the crack behind it, revealing a greedy and ferocious smile—in his sight, the people who were fleeing in unison suddenly turned against each other and fought for the slightest benefit... …

Shen Yongle was shocked: "Yan Ye?! Ji Mingxiao?!"

He didn't care about other things, and directly shouted, "What are you doing? Calm down! Aksha is about to collapse!"

The whole world seemed to tremble with his shout.

The reinforced walls of the Yujia Base shook violently, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

Mo Jue was startled, he reacted faster than Shen Yongle, turned around and pulled him to run out.

But seeing that Shen Yongle suddenly thought of something, he paused, then shook off his hand and rushed back.

"Lele?" Mo Jue frowned.

However, the base didn't know what was being attacked, and it was rumbling everywhere, and the two couldn't communicate at all.

Shen Yongle didn't have time to explain, so he could only protect his head and dodge the fallen debris all the way, hurried back to the console, and inserted the [Aksha] into the card slot again while the earth was shaking.

It seems that the loading has been completed before, and Akesha with electronic voice soon appeared on the screen again: "Hello, I am..."

"Aksha! I want you to temporarily take over the doomsday game!!" Shen Yongle interrupted, "Do you have a similar setup that can replace the current Aksha, stabilize the world quickly!"

"Okay." The replica junior Aksha did not ask him to explain more, and completed his order very intelligently, "Ding Dong, I have temporarily taken over the doomsday game authority."

The roar and vibration outside the window stopped in an instant.

Before Shen Yongle had time to catch his breath, Akesha, who had completed the order, answered his question again: "Yes, the reason why Messiah left me at the beginning was to prepare to be a hostess when the main program of the doomsday game collapsed. Temporary buffer."

This point is similar to Shen Yongle's guess at the beginning.

No matter who created Akesha, he would not just leave a copy for future generations to clarify, but more to prevent any crisis for emergency use.

But I heard Aksha continue: "But my calculation capacity and intelligence level are not enough to support the operation of the doomsday game. I can only last for 5 minutes. Now the countdown begins, drop..."

After a beep, a simple hourglass icon appeared on the screen, next to it was a countdown countdown from 4:59, and the number quickly began to decrease with the passage of time.

"What? Wait!" Shen Yongle was caught off guard and almost jumped up.

The next moment, he felt a weight on his shoulder, and Mojue reached out and pressed his shoulder.

Sir Sir comforted him in a low voice: "Calm down."

Then he turned his head to look at the first version of Aksha on the screen: "Can you take over your other higher version of consciousness? We want to talk to him."

There was no emotion in Akesha's voice, he just said indifferently: "The request has been sent."

Shen Yongle crazily shouted "Yan Ye" in his heart, but after a while, he didn't get any response from Yan Ye, he only heard the voice he heard for the second time and said, "What's the matter?"

The sirens outside the house were still ringing wildly, and everyone obviously hadn't recovered from the sudden end of the world.

Shen Yongle collected himself, knowing that no matter who appeared, he had to communicate with it well.

He thought for a while: "Are you...Ji Mingxiao?"

"No," the man said, "Xiaoxiao is too busy coaxing his wife, so I don't have time to chat with you."

Shen Yongle was startled: "Then you are?"

"Aksha," the voice was a bit puzzled, "Didn't we meet in the A-level dungeon? Did you forget me so quickly? In vain, I still like you..."

Shen Yongle: "..." Well, this time there is really an official preference.

Mo Jue couldn't figure out Akexia's temper for the time being, afraid that he would disconnect due to dissatisfaction, so he quickly explained: "We don't understand the relationship between you, Yan Ye, and Ji Mingxiao, so it's easy to admit mistakes."

Aksha seemed to have realized something, and nodded: "Oh, yes, you are not from TT, so you may not know about the genetic algorithm..."

He quickly explained casually: "You will think that I am similar to Ji Mingxiao because he is my current benchmark."

Shen Yong laughed.

He really does know about genetic algorithms.

"Gene Algorithm" was proposed by the first Messiah, which is an AI algorithm that allows the program to improve itself.

To put it simply, this is actually a program that can "self-improvement" through learning, and its inspiration comes from the process of human thinking formation

When a person is born, he has no concept of right and wrong, values ​​and subjective preferences, and the choice is very random.

However, with the growth of age and experience, we will learn what kind of choices can get "subjective positive benefits", so as to learn to "judgment correctly" and "correct mistakes".

When people judge whether their decisions are correct, they can consult information, ask others, or think for themselves, while machines also need a teacher, or a reference, to help them complete this judgment process.

For questions that have correct answers, big data is clearly sufficient to serve as a benchmark.

But in fact, most of the problems in the world do not have correct answers.

Milk tea or coffee?Movie or TV show?red or blue?

There are also the way of speaking, the attitude of looking at problems, and the emotions of strangers...

These no right or wrong questions usually come down to "preferences," and a variety of preferences is the most important factor in determining a person's character.

When the Messiah wanted to give the machine a soul, he naturally did not just write a machine that could only make "correct judgments".

He quickly found a way to "cultivate preferences" for the entire program on the basis of genetic algorithms—that is, to use real humans as the "benchmark" for learning.

In fact, the first Messiah has always supported the "anti-logic" theory, and does not think that simple and general principles (such as logic) can be found to enable artificial intelligence to achieve all human-like intelligent behaviors.

The genetic algorithm realizes non-logic precisely through the non-inherent nature of logic, so that the machine can, like humans, learn the language from ignorance to cognition of the world bit by bit, form its own worldview, preferences and independent decision-making ability, and even...have its own character and thinking.

The personality and preferences of this AI will gradually approach the human being as the benchmark, but he can be far smarter than that human being.

Not only because AI can "think" far faster than humans, but it can also ... become smarter at a speed that is unmatched by biological beings.

This is the "super-artificial intelligence recursive self-improvement" that once sparked discussions on the ethics of artificial intelligence.

——If artificial intelligence can improve its intelligence level through "learning", as its intelligence level improves, its learning speed will become faster and faster.

It may take a long time to turn from a fool to a smart person, but it may only take a moment to go from being "smart" at the general human level to "smart" unimaginable by humans.

Aksha did not know where to quote a report, explained his origin with some pride, and finally said: "This is the intelligence explosion, and it is also the ultimate manifestation of the law of accelerated returns."

Shen Yongle listened and thought very fast, and suddenly figured out a lot of things.

Aksha did not betray mankind, so Ji Mingxiao sacrificed his brain. However, as a person who wanted to shut down the game, why did he suddenly change his mind and become its "accomplice" willingly?

——Because Messiah knows better than anyone else that humans can no longer save humans...but maybe machines can.

"Aksha Game" continues human civilization, and what the players provide as "batteries" is never the energy consumption of Aksha, but to support the survival of the earth as an isolated system during the period of self-death.

At the same time, Aksha uses the genetic algorithm to grow, so that he can come up with a solution before the extinction of human beings, and completely save human beings.

Shen Yongle said: "So, the hints given to humans in the doomsday game were actually given by Ji Mingxiao?"

Aksha nodded in affirmation.

Aksha grew rapidly on the basis of Ji Mingxiao, because the required amount of calculations affected Ji Mingxiao's thoughts, causing him to be unable to appear in front of everyone with a complete consciousness, but at the same time, Aksha would also be affected by Ji Mingxiao's subconscious, Intentionally or unintentionally, in each world, players are given some hints about the truth of the end.

When Shen Yongle looked back, he could see obvious traces in every dungeon he had experienced.

The collective hallucination in Leviathan, the self-deception in Barnum's Cave, and the "witch" in Valopas all imply the seemingly real fiction; the ship of Theseus is a metaphor for human body transformation, and the "redemption" in Cosette It is a metaphor for the way humans deal with the doomsday, or it is a metaphor for "the extinction of human beings due to greed."

In this way, the evil of human nature in Rhythm Zero, the experimental abuse of awakening the nameless fog in Key of the Door, and the theory of heat death in Maxwell's demon are all revealing the reasons for the end.

There was a loud bang suddenly outside the window.

Shen Yongle suddenly looked at the screen, 3 minutes left.

It should just be that the wall that was damaged before finally couldn't bear the weight and collapsed.

He quickly came back to his senses, thought for a while, and asked, "So what are Yan Ye and Ji Mingxiao arguing about? Is the competition your benchmark?"

"That's right," Aksha said, "Because Yanyan thinks Xiaoxiao is going to die."

Both Mo Jue and Shen Yongle were shocked.

Aksha quickly explained the specific reason

Brain cells are non-renewable.

Human brain cells cannot divide and increase in value like bones, muscles, and organ tissue cells. There are only about 140 billion brain cells available in a person's life, and ordinary people decrease at a rate of [-] per day. Considering the amount of brain used by Aksha , must be dozens or hundreds of times of this speed.

This is a programmed cell death that is unavoidable and equally irrepressible.

Shen Yongle paused for a moment, suddenly his heart beat wildly, and he vaguely realized something.

As expected, Akesha explained: "This is the reason why you will appear in the A-level dungeon, and it is also the ultimate goal of the doomsday game - the benchmark needs a successor."

As Aksha's benchmark, the consumption of brain cells far exceeds the capacity of normal humans, so the benchmark needs to be replaced regularly, and Aksha's game has become the best way to choose a successor.

Because obviously, players who can perform well in the doomsday game must be second to none in terms of brain development, knowledge reserve, and reaction speed.

Mo Jue's heart moved: "So you have been interfering with Yan Ye's clearance before, just because you don't want him to be the last successor..."

"That's not true," Aksha spread his hands, "In fact, I have always wanted to keep Yanyan. After all, my preference logic is based on Xiaoxiao. He likes Yanyan, and I naturally like Yanyan—but no. The method, Xiao Xiao refused to let it go, so Yan Yan was able to escape successfully again and again."

Shen Yongle stared at the countdown without blinking, and unconsciously sped up his speech: "So, it is because the two of them don't want each other to stay, and have been fighting for control, which led to the collapse of the world."

Aksha shrugged, half helplessly said: "Yes, Yanyan took your character set card, and Xiaoxiao also has a stack, and the two of them have reached full levels, so they started fighting..."

"I can't feel what's going on here in the conscious world..."

The countdown funnel was almost at the end, but Shen Yongle unexpectedly calmed down.

He said, "How much time do we have?"

Aksha thought for a while: "More than 30 seconds..."

Mo Jue frowned as if feeling something: "Lele? What are you going to do?"

But Shen Yongle took a step back, turned around and asked Aksha the last question: "If I understand correctly, what you mean is——The Doomsday Game is actually a screening mechanism, used to select your benchmark."

"According to the rules, the selected person should be the one with the highest score in the end."

Aksha replied: "That's right."

Mo Jue's anxiety was getting more and more intense, and he couldn't help but approached a few steps, reaching out to catch someone...

But Shen Yongle took a step back, and suddenly took out the item card.

The last ten seconds of the countdown...

Everything is like recreating their thrilling encounter in "The Ship of Theseus".

Mo Jue's eyes widened, watching Shen Yongle pull out the [Gloria Ramirez] that could make people sleepy.

seven seconds...

Mo Jue Li was outraged, he gritted his molars and grabbed his clothes, and finally called out "Shen Yongle"'s name, and then relaxed uncontrollably with force, and fell limp in his arms.

At the last second when he was conscious, he could only see Shen Yongle replacing the card with [Key of the Door], then leaned down and kissed his lips.

Four seconds...

Shen Yongle leaned against his ear and whispered in a low voice: "I'm sorry, please believe that I will always love you..."

The countdown flashed without emotion, and the numbers jumped one by one, three, two...

"Aksha..." Shen Yongle walked quickly to the window, ordered in a low voice while observing, "I want you to help me preserve the memory from this dungeon to the present when I reset..."

The Ji Mingxiao version of Aksha who was summoned in his mind was stunned, and quickly refused: "What? Do you want to use [Key of the Door]? This does not comply with the rules of item cards, of course not..."

However, Shen Yongle couldn't wait for the answer, and directly jumped out of the window.

In the next moment, before Akesha would refuse to finish speaking, he heard another cold voice coming from the main unit behind him: "Drip, the revision of the rules has been passed."

Akesha paused, and then he realized that the host not only had the "first version of himself" that was left behind in Yujia, but also—the [Akesha] item card that belonged to Shen Yongle and could be used to revise the rules !

In Mo Jue's gradually darkened field of vision, he could only vaguely see Shen Yongle jumping down from the stairs without hesitation without turning his head back, and then... following the last second to zero, his chest was pierced by the sharp claws of an unknown monster .

Blood gurgled from his lips, but the next second...

Time freezes in an instant.

The collapse of the world stopped suddenly as if the pause button was pressed, and then began to rewind rapidly.

The effect of [Key to the Door] was activated.

Probably because the scope is too large, the recovery this time did not happen in an instant.

The world started from the edge of Shen Yongle's eyes, and a circle of green light spots lit up. After looking carefully, it was found that there were countless 0s and 1s scattered and gathered by various things.

They advance inward at a speed that is difficult for the naked eye to catch up with, and thousands of bright and colorful characters are fleeting on the retina.

The whole world is like a Morpho Helena that emerges from the chrysalis and gradually stretches its delicate veins. It spreads its wings under the golden-red burning clouds in the sky, magnificent and magnificent.

Shen Yongle was stuck on the top of the monster's raised claws, and his vision was blurred due to the pain.

However, he couldn't bear to close his eyes.

Little by little, his gaze swept over the people who were frozen in panic, Mojue who was on the verge of coma and who was desperately unwilling to close his eyes, and Xiao Mao and the others who were determined to fight against monsters with guns on their faces, calmly protecting Han Lao and Tang Yu Yan Ning, and Lu Fanqi, who wanted to rescue Leng Lengliang and escaped the landslide...

Almost just for a moment.

Everything that was destroyed, the dead and injured humans, and the NPCs running around in the streets, have been repaired after the light spot, and they all returned to their places.

And the spot of light finally came near Yujia, gently swallowing everyone's faces.

Shen Yongle only felt that his body was empty, and the monster that killed him suddenly shattered, turning into a string of floating numbers.

Countless birds flew from the forest hastily as if disturbed.

And he fell powerlessly from a high place, the severe pain on his body finally disappeared, the surrounding lights and shadows alternated, and time went back in an instant, until the last second when they were in the A-level dungeon

This time, without any hesitation, Shen Yongle, regardless of what kind of trouble Yan was making, directly stretched out his hand to hold down Ji Mingxiao, and took off the person card on his waist.

The key to the door was originally on him, but it was closed instantly after resetting, and the monster that killed him was also sent into the A-level copy.

There was a mess downstairs, Mojue didn't care about other things, pulled Yan Ye to dodge, avoiding the attack of the monster, and the set card that Yan Ye snatched from Shen Yongle fell to the ground immediately.

Shen Yongle took a deep breath.

"Aksha!" He was covered in cold sweat, panting heavily and snapped the character card into his card slot, "I'm the only one with full level now, kick all three of them back to the real world go!"

"in addition……"

He took a breath, and his tone eased, "Help me...send a voice to player Mojue."

Erwin Schrödinger proposed that "life feeds on negative entropy", that is, at a certain level, as long as a system that uses information to counteract the increase in entropy to maintain its own state can be regarded as life.

In other words, it is entirely possible to have another life that only exists in the form of information.

Only "information", what kind of existence is that?

"Brother Jue...do you still remember the conjecture we made when we discussed the end?"

"The human body was originally translated from the same gene. I sometimes wonder whether the information that guides the translation of cells should originally be another form of 'life consciousness'."

Just like the human body, everything in order in the universe is composed of disorder, and all the smallest particles are constantly doing random motions.

There is even string theory that holds that fundamental particles ranging from interstellar galaxies to electrons, protons, quarks, etc., are all made up of irregular motions of 'strings' occupying only two-dimensional space-time.

That is, the entire universe, regardless of its manifestation, may be composed of the same disordered matter.

However, the microcosmic disorder of the entire universe, like the orderly translation of the human body, forms various orderly rules on the macroscopic level.

If the earth and even the entire universe are also imagined as a body like a human body with some kind of mysterious code, the self-silence of the earth has already proved that there is a "high-dimensional consciousness" that humans cannot communicate with in the dark. Organized and directed the initiation and annihilation of galactic civilizations.

Shen Yongle thought for a while: "I'll call it—cosmic consciousness for the time being."

"The word Akashic (Aksha) comes from Sanskrit, and his other name is 'ether', which is taken from the concept proposed by Aristotle-may be the stream of consciousness that makes up space, some kind of field, dark matter , or the unknown force that causes the creation and annihilation of virtual particles in vacuum fluctuations...but that is not its full name."

"Its full name is 'Aka clibrary', which means a kind of cosmic computer that continuously records human experience in the world forever, or 'book of life'".

This concept was first perceived by sages in ancient India. It was recorded in the ancient Hindu mythological epic "Mahabharata", and it is also the "Alaya Consciousness" in Buddhism.

It represents the highest frequency of consciousness in the universe.

Egypt, Persia, ancient China, Greece, Hebrew, and Maya who believed in it all developed civilizations with highly philosophical views.

Many ancient civilizations unanimously believe that "all consciousness has a common origin and end", which can be used as evidence to a certain extent.

"That's what I've always found interesting -- how romantic is the vastness of the universe's non-verbal, mysterious, ineffable unity of consciousness."

"And when I become a part of the world's consciousness, can I find an opportunity to communicate with it and unlock the lock of the earth's self-silence?"

Shen Yongle took a deep breath.

"Brother Jue, I love you."

"Please believe that I will always be by your side, perhaps more eternal than the existence of the entire world."
