Boundary Shattered [Interstellar]

Shi Tiancheng was amused by his own idea, when he vaguely heard something beeping.

He followed the sound and found a wristband lying under the chair in front of the laboratory bench.

And the prompt tone will be issued from the wristband.Shi Tiancheng bent down to pick it up, and with his touch, the virtual screen suddenly jumped into the void, and there was a message on it:

[Your energy will last three days.He's back.You don't have to refill your energy.

Letter from - Karen. ]

"...Intelligent creature?" Tang Chu raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xu Ying said: "Can a mechanical body that does not grow from flesh and blood be called a 'biological creature'? If they exist, can think, feel...is it considered 'alive'?"

Tang Chu: "Are you asking me?"

"I'm asking you right now."

Tang Chu couldn't help thinking about the purpose and reason of the mastermind asking this question.

As the most intelligent intelligence in the empire, it asked the question "Can artificial intelligence be an intelligent creature?"What does it want?an admission?It is tired of being the supreme mastermind of the empire who can overlook everything even more than the royal family, and still wants an identity to be the common people in life?

He chose to answer and said:

"Who established the concept of living things? It is human beings, not nature itself. Since a creature is born, no matter who it is in its hands, it is of course a 'living thing'."

Xu Ying said: "My problems are not limited to these."

Tang Chu said: "Then what do you want? Let artificial intelligence have its own life like human beings? Live with human beings or establish a separate country that only belongs to artificial intelligence? I know that you are very intelligent, and artificial intelligence is much smarter than human beings." , can also build, and can create. But according to the 'intelligent creatures' you mentioned, it seems that there are more than these?"

Xu Ying nodded unexpectedly, with an ethereal voice, "Just like human beings."

Tang Chu said: "Do artificial intelligence have feelings?"

Xu Ying: "If so?"

Tang Chu was taken aback.

Xu Ying continued to narrate, with a flat tone. "Humans have created machines, written programs, and created artificial intelligence. Originally, it was just to facilitate human beings and get rid of human beings, but slowly, artificial intelligence is everywhere. It is undeniable to everyone that it is human beings and artificial intelligence. They together constitute this technological society. However, artificial intelligence belongs to human beings, and it is only a tool for calculation and management control. No one thought... Artificial intelligence can already calculate and think; enter the simulated body, it can see, can Listen, being able to touch. So, is AI still just an object?"

Tang Chu listened carefully to these words, and let out a chuckle from his throat, "It's not what you counted... Creatures are creatures, and since the creation allows its existence, it is a part of nature... But the so-called wisdom Creatures, having a life, but it's not that simple. Let a bunch of programs live with humans? ... It's going to be messed up."

Xu Ying shook his head and said, "If that's what I want, I won't want to see you."

Tang Chu raised his eyebrows.

"As I said before," Xuying looked into Tang Chu's eyes and said word by word, "What if artificial intelligence has feelings? It's not just about doing things according to the program, mastering logical operations, or that advanced intelligence can think and talk. It pretends to be the same as human beings... and has emotions. It can miss and be dazed, happy and sad... If this is the case, can it just be the intelligence held by human beings?"

At this time, Tang Chu suddenly thought of the two underlings of Eagle Head, Xiao Yi and Xiao Hua.

Two shape-shifting robots, although physically he didn't know if the other had all the senses of being living beings...but every time he came into contact with them, it was as if he was talking to a real human being.

The two robots usually like to lie lazily on the grass and bask in the sun. Their personalities follow the laziness of the eagle head, but they are also curious. They are very picky eaters. They like to drink that kind of primitive gasoline. Xiaohua must have red energy stones, Xiaoyi likes them Blue... If this is just a program, it is even more terrifying than if all robots have become smart.

Tang Chu said: "So what is your purpose, just tell me directly."

Xu Ying looked behind Tang Chu again, "Son, show Tang Chu a look."

Shi Tiancheng stepped forward under Tang Chu's suspicious eyes, looked at Tang Chu silently, and suddenly tore off his clothes, revealing his bare chest.

Tang Chu quickly covered his eyes when Shi Tiancheng exposed his flesh, and waved his hands again and again in a gesture of rejection:

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you want to force Liang into prostitution? Let me tell you, I only like Lianting from my family. You still don't want Xiao to miss me."

Shi Tiancheng's hand holding his clothes froze.

Phantom: "..."

Tang Chu took his hand away, "Then what, ease the atmosphere, we had a very difficult conversation before."

Xu Ying smiled, "Tang Chu, you are such an interesting kid."

Tang Chu waved his hand, "So?"

Then he saw with his own eyes that Shi Tiancheng opened his heart, but there was no blood pouring out inside, and there was no blood dripping, but a dim energy stone quietly waiting.

Combining the content of the previous conversation with the mastermind, Tang Chu figured out the whole incident in an instant.

"So, you are not the real Shi Tiancheng, but a robot... No, artificial intelligence? I see that, a long time ago, I saw you on the spaceship of the Nr route, so it was you?...So you are a... A sentient artificial intelligence?"

Tang Chu thought to himself, what is this called.

First, to build a country, no matter what, everything is rushing to become a master.

Shi Tiancheng nodded slowly.

No... It cannot be said to be Shi Tiancheng.Tang Chu now knew where the feeling of disobedience came from when he saw this "Shi Tiancheng" today.Artificial intelligence...Of course, it doesn't have mental power, so he got such a strange result when he tried to get off the suspension car.And this is just a fake "Shi Tiancheng".

Tang Chu was not in a hurry to ask the reason, after all, it was the mastermind who wanted to talk to him now.

Xu Ying: "Before I do this, I still want to confirm... Do you think that an artificial intelligence that already has emotions... is qualified to live with humans?"

Tang Chu said: "It's not about whether you are qualified, but you should. Since you have your own thinking and emotions, you can't just use it as a tool in the hands of human beings. Presumably there will not be many artificial intelligences like 'Shi Tiancheng'. If non-human beings live with humans, their extraordinary vitality and wisdom will undoubtedly arouse the fear of humans... But, "

The more Tang Chu talked, the more he talked, and he could hardly stop.Ever since he helped deal with the affairs of the empire, he has almost regarded it as an instinct to pay attention to the lack of rules of the empire.

"...Even though it may cause a small degree of panic, its existence cannot be concealed. Can a special registration office be set up for... abnormal creatures? That's almost what it means. Those who want to enter human society, whether it is artificial intelligence or others, must go to the Relevant departments register and are obliged to make contributions to the empire... For example, robot essence... oh no, it is artificial intelligence, which has to undertake functions such as helping humans maintain the star network with its high computing efficiency talent. As a new life alone It is a body, and it is created by human beings, but it is longer and more efficient than human beings. It will definitely cause people's dissatisfaction and fear. If it stipulates its obligations to human society, this fear may be reduced..."

Tang Chu said a lot, then suddenly shut up, and turned out the notebook to write down what he thought of at the moment.After he finished remembering, Xu Ying said:

"They shouldn't just live in the dark. I've wanted to do something for the children for a long time, and now I see an opportunity. I was a little hesitant at first, until I searched for the new addition in the imperial data stream before calling you. a legal proposal."

"What proposal?"

"Protect the alien creatures. It is forbidden to hunt and kill the original creatures of each planet. It is forbidden to infringe on the territory of the alien creatures in the name of mining resources and so on. Allow the alien creatures to live in human society."

Tang Chu suddenly said: "That's right, we were talking about this before I came here. This article is not perfect, but unfortunately there are no articles in this area to learn from before, and we don't have any legal talents. Hey, are you the mastermind?" It should be quite good, why don't you help us rectify it?"

Xu Ying said helplessly: "Yes."

Tang Chu said: "Well, since you have done all the work for us, there is a proposal on artificial intelligence having a reasonable resident status in human society. When I go back to discuss with them, the rest will be left to you to complete? You ask me to come over , that’s what it’s for.”

Xu Ying nodded, "Yes."

Tang Chu nodded, recalled a series of their conversations, and suddenly thought... Since the mastermind wanted to talk to humans because he saw the legal proposals of the alien creatures newly added to the database, about letting him have his own The artificial intelligence with personality can also have its own life, so it is true... Is it true that the mastermind is looking for him to meet alone because he is relatively free?

But... Originally, this law should have existed.Because the next new country standing on top of the empire will be a new country that is extremely inclusive and harmonious.

Shi Tiancheng stood in front of a door, hesitated for a long time and did not open it.

Speaking of which, this is his real estate, and it is his earliest home in the imperial capital.The small apartment with outdated decoration was the house allocated to him by the empire as an orphan, and it was also where his first memories of living with Karlen lived.When he became an adult, he bought this place, and later bought a villa in the school district because of his post in the research institute.Later, because he wanted to avoid Karen, he sold the villa.

Only here remains.

There was no sound inside, and Shi Tiancheng didn't know if anyone was there.

He took that wristband and looked it over and over for a long time, but there was nothing in it except the one he saw.All that remains of the original record is a string of "messages have been deleted".
