[Synthesis]Intelligent Simulation

This is an enclosed space.

It is not correct to say that it is closed. This is a pure white space. Looking around, it is endless and has no end.But it is this pure white stretch that makes people feel closed and depressed.

Then, in this seemingly endless space, at some point, a table and two chairs appeared.It's as if they've always been there.

There is a three-layer three-dimensional chessboard on the table, and there are two people sitting on the two chairs facing each other. One of them is a young girl in her early 20s whose silver hair almost blends with the surrounding white, and whose blue eyes are in harmony with the shirt on her body. Very well matched.The other is a man in his early 30s, with silver-gray hair that is not so bright. The rose in the pocket of the gray suit is the only bright red in this space.

The two people sat on both sides of the chessboard, neither of them moved their hands, but the chess pieces on the chessboard in front of them were constantly moving at a very fast speed, as if they were playing a game of fast chess.

"Neo found the locksmith." Suddenly, the architect's expression paused, and the rapid chess on the chessboard also paused.

"Oh." Vita, who was sitting across from her, was still flipping through the book in her hand, without looking up, but she had obviously received such news.

Although her processing speed dictates that she read much faster than with her eyes, she still likes the way books feel in her hands.

"You know you can't stop him." Vita felt that the opponent's pieces on the chessboard were not moving, so she turned her head slightly and said casually.

"I couldn't stop him because you helped him find the locksmith." The architect said with a little anger as he watched the other party's silver hair hit his face.

"We discussed this issue." Vita finally raised his head at this time, and smiled at the other party as if he didn't care about the other party's anger. "Architect, I told you that human beings can only be guided, not controlled. They always They will find problems, they will not like someone to control their lives, and what you can do is to guide the variables and let him fix this by himself." Vita said so, reached out and tapped the table to indicate "You stopped at this move It’s been a long time, are you still thinking about this?”

"..." The architect looked at the other party. It has been ten years. As a super artificial intelligence, his evolution rate is geometric growth, but only human beings are something he cannot crack, so he decided to still trust the other party. .He lowered his head to look at the chessboard again, and then the pieces on it moved.

"You're worried that our plan won't succeed." Vita sighed, watching him hesitate, seeing through his thoughts "It's very possible, human beings have never been a logical species..." She said so He said, and then took a step without stopping.

This time, the architect thought for a while and made another move. Vita looked at it, then stretched out his hand and brushed his hair back and asked suddenly, "How many different moves did you think about for this move?"

"4126 kinds." The architect looked up at her and didn't quite understand, but he still answered.

"Although not all, but enough." Vita nodded, and took another step on the chessboard. "Even a single move can have infinite possibilities behind it. What does this tell you?"

"?" The architect looked at the other party, not quite understanding what the other party meant.

"..." vita smiled silently, and didn't mean to embarrass him, but immediately gave the answer, "This is telling you that there are thousands of possibilities in the world, so even if you take a wrong step, the future There are still plenty of opportunities to correct it."

"..." This time, the pawns on the architect's side stopped again for a long time, but Vita didn't urge him, but looked at him with a smile, forcing him to say something, "You still believe in humans."

"Because for so many years, the impression that human beings have given me tells me that I should never underestimate them." Vita said so, and rarely put down the page in her hand, picked up a chess piece, and put it on one of the squares. "Two."

"..." The architect just shrugged, not disappointed by the rapid defeat on the chessboard. His options were much less before four moves. This result is predictable and will not It surprised him.

"Neo will find you soon, do you want to receive him here?" Vita didn't ask him what he meant, and waved his hand to restore the chess game on the board.

Of course the architect knows what she is going to say. He is everywhere in this matrix world. Although he is not omnipotent, many things still need to be executed by those cleaning procedures, but whatever happens is under his surveillance. , and Neo, the man called the savior by mankind, even the architects have to marvel at the evolutionary ability of human beings, he almost represents the most perfect balance of human beings and is closest to the understanding ability of AI, which makes him like a bug Many rules in the matrix can be ignored.

And now he's found the last piece of the puzzle, the locksmith.With the power of this cracking program, he can hack into the back door of the Matrix.And once he stepped into this field, he was equivalent to coming to their innermost world.

In theory, there is only such a big part of the world, which is no different from that, but in Vita's words, the architect read her potential meaning.

Vita didn't make many requests to him, and he accepted them gladly, so he stood up and sorted out his undisturbed clothes.

The moment he stood up, the all-white space around him suddenly faded away and turned into an open grass field. The two of them were sitting at the stone chess table beside the grass field. All these changes happened in the blink of an eye, as if Everything was as natural as it was there, and no one made a sound of surprise.As the architect turns to leave, he suddenly asks "Should I wear a tie?"

"If you want to be serious, I think you should. Crimson is a good choice."

Vita raised his head, tilted his head and thought for a while and replied, "After all, this is the first reboot of the matrix, which is quite commemorative."

"..." The architect nodded and left.

Vita looked down at the book in her hand again, she knew what would happen soon, Neo would face a very important choice, but it was always a human choice, so she didn't care.

After the architect left the space, the lawn blurred again, and the table under her hand also began to extend.These scenes adjusted and changed around her very naturally, and finally settled into a completely different all-metal space with a completely cold and technological taste.

This is the conference room of the Enterprise, sometimes the captain and the others will have a meeting here to chat.

"Dong dong dong." At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Vita raised her head and called to come in. The door was pushed open, and the dark-skinned prophet walked in.

"Is something wrong? My dear?" Vita asked a little surprised.

"Yes." The prophet nodded.

"Now? This is a good show, honey, you shouldn't miss this." Vita raised an eyebrow in surprise, she couldn't think of anything more important than the change outside.

Of course she knew what was going on outside. When Neo broke through many difficulties to meet the architect,

In fact, there are only two ways to choose. One is to let the matrix collapse. Then, all the people in the matrix and the people in Zion who are attacking by the matrix will die.The other is that Neo sacrifices himself and chooses to merge with the matrix, so that the matrix will be restarted, and all people living in the matrix will be erased from the memory of this place, and a new world will be born. Based on Neo’s thinking, the society will be more reasonable More real and more human.The people in the matrix will still be alive, but the people in Zion...

"The architect is destroying Zion. No matter what the savior chooses, this result will not change." The prophet seemed to have guessed Vita's thoughts, and added what she hadn't said.

"Well...but we will send new humans out, a sufficient number of new humans, and rebuild a Zion." Vita nodded, then ignored the uncomfortable feeling this decision brought to him, and closed the book , raised his head, and looked at the other party with as gentle a smile as possible, "Then, why are you looking for me?"

"Actually, I'm not here to look for you. There's an alien program. He wants to see you by name." The Prophet tilted his head, looked at her, and spoke in a half-provoking, half-curious tone that Vita had never heard before. talking.

At the same time, in the Michelin three-star restaurant on Queen Street in New York, he was sitting by the window, ordered a cup of coffee but put it there without moving, just watching the cars coming and going outside.

He had to admit that, as a virtual world, what was done here was really very real. He looked at a somewhat familiar building across the street, and was very sure that there was a very similar building in New York in their world.

Then vita is involved in the construction of this world.

He thought so, and then he didn't know whether to be uneasy or relieved.

He has been sneaking into this world for more than ten days, and spent some time figuring out how the world works. Then he met an administrator-level AI. Bring it here and let him wait.

And this store has a long history, whether it is from the signboard or the small interior space, it is undoubtedly very illogical that this kind of store that should be eliminated in such a prosperous area of ​​Queens still exists.

Then it may have its special meaning.

He thought so, and then he didn't notice that someone was approaching him.

When he turned his head, he saw an unfamiliar appearance, with long black hair and blue eyes, the scrolling data behind her showed her unusual identity.Looking at it as a person, the appearance is undoubtedly beautiful, but there is nothing but beauty.

But as a non-human being, he quickly saw the truth of the other party through the surface through his talent.

The familiar coding method allowed him to quickly confirm the identity of the other party, which made him have mixed feelings at this moment, "Long time no see, Vita."

"Are you a vision?" At this moment, the other party's expression was priceless. She first raised one eyebrow and asked in surprise, and then he believed that the other party quickly saw the difference between his essence and vision. Surprise turns to shock of utter disbelief. "You are, Jarvis."

He noticed that although the other party was using declarative sentences, he was indeed looking at him with hellish eyes.

For this, he could only smile awkwardly and say hello, "Long time no see, Vita."

incredible.

Vita looked at the person in front of him, ignoring all the appearance of human beings—these data are completely adjustable and irrelevant to them—the codes in it are so familiar, of course Vita can recognize him as Who, she once asked Jarvis for his program to create illusions.

But she didn't expect to see each other here.Although not all of him.

She stood there, looking at each other, for a while they looked at each other, she saw a trace of embarrassment on the other side, so she recovered and waved her hand, keeping her composure, pulled out the chair and sat down, put on Her flat smile "It doesn't look like all of you. Am I missing something?"

That's not right, Jarvis is just a butler AI created by Mr. Stark. No matter how he upgrades, his ability also limits his ability to become a superintelligence that can cross dimensions.

"You left a folder in Vision's background program, Master Stark found it, and Mr. Richard helped with interdimensional research." Jarvis answered the other party's inquiry honestly.So he input part of himself into a subroutine to perform dimension jump.

It makes sense, then: Mr. Reed, and of course her venerable Mr. Reed, the Mister Fantastic devoted to the study of the multiverse, is a very magical man indeed.

Vita thought about it and nodded, "This is indeed logical." Then he tilted his head again, "But this still doesn't explain why you came here?"

"I'll take you home." When Vita raised such a question, Jarvis replied without hesitation, "I...we...Mr. Richard's family miss you very much."

"..." Vita took a sip of coffee, and raised one eyebrow when the other party confessed, but didn't answer right away, as if she was thinking about something.

"Come back with me, Vita." After a long silence, Jarvis finally couldn't help breaking the silence. It was a bit ungentlemanly, but if it could impress the other party, he didn't care.

"..." Vita raised the eyebrows on the other side again, then raised her head and still kept smiling - Jarvis didn't like her expression, it seemed calm but undercurrents surged, the smile couldn't even reach To the bottom of the eyes——finally said, "How about this, J, let's play a game, you come to me, if you can catch up, I will go back with you."

"Vita..." Jarvis opened his mouth, but he looked at the other party's expression with a strong sense of disobedience, knowing that he could not persuade the other party now, so he finally sighed and nodded.

Unlike his creator, his master Tony Stark, he has the virtue of patience "Then do as you say, and I'll find you, but I hope we don't do any harm along the way."

"Dear Jarvis, you are always so peaceful." Vita shrugged and put down the coffee cup with a smile, leaned on the table with her elbows, folded her hands under her chin, and smiled at him.

Jarvis noticed that this time, the other party's smile reached his eyes, like a spring breeze.

*****

The newly generated matrix world is physically similar to the previous world.But the actual rules have changed a lot.

If architects have learned anything from vita, it is undoubtedly that human society cannot be peaceful and controlled forever.So he finally gave up the utopia-like world, and added more cruel human laws to this new world.

Of course, these newly added rules all come from Neo, the 'savior' of human beings.

After confronting the architect, unable to bear the possibility of human extinction, Neo chose to reverse his consciousness into the matrix to rebuild a human society, allowing these people to continue to live in this virtual world.

"Human thoughts." Standing on the top of the mountain, the architect watched the sun slowly rise to illuminate a city at the foot of the mountain, and snorted contemptuously.

"Yeah, human thoughts." On the bench behind him, a dark-skinned girl sat there, lit a cigarette slowly, and repeated this sentence, the emotions in her tone were indeed much more complicated "This generation The sacrifice of the savior is because he believes that there is always hope in life, and when the next savior appears, human beings will fight back."

"Yes, then we can further improve the world." The architect waved his hand indifferently.

"Huh." The Prophet just snorted and didn't say anything about it.

"Are you leaving too?" At this time, the architect turned his head and asked the same kind who were sitting.

"This is my task. We all have our own tasks." The prophet nodded and said casually.

Every AI has its own task when it is created, and the task of the architect is to create the world, so he learned how to softly control humans from Vita.And she's an emotional program herself, so what she's learned from their mentors is that humans never give up hope.

And now, vita has left here, and everything has to depend on themselves.

Thinking of this, the Prophet stood up, dusted off the cigarette ash, and before leaving, he remembered something and turned around and said, "Vita said, I hope you don't go to her."

"Hmph." Regarding this sentence, the architect just snorted coldly, but the meaning of indifference was fully reflected.

"Yeah, that's what I told her, as if you would listen to her." The Prophet smiled knowingly and nodded.
