Super Battleship Reborn

During this period of time, Xiao Yu has collected a lot of information. The ubiquitous spy equipment is almost pervasive, some of them were discovered by the virtual life civilization and then destroyed, and some have been lurking all the time. Under such circumstances, information about the civilization of virtual life is continuously reaching Xiao Yu's mind.

This is a situation that Xiao Yu created at an extremely heavy price. However, the more Xiao Yu knew, the more uncertain he became in his heart, and the more thorough understanding of the power of virtual life.

In front of Xiao Yu, it was almost a dead end. There has never been such a moment when Xiao Yu felt that his enemy was so powerful that he wanted to deal with it, but he couldn't do it at all. It's like an ant standing in front of the majestic Mount Tai, thinking about how to push Mount Tai down.

That's right, the virtual life civilization is so powerful. Xiao Yu already has a certain understanding of it, and Xiao Yu knows that it is not itself that is powerful, but its copy.

Xiao Yu was basically sure of one point, and also knew what was going on with the escape from the cage mentioned earlier.

This kind of virtual life-like intelligent creature born purely from the computer world is a little different from himself. The most important point is that it cannot shuttle back and forth between different computer systems. Xiao Yu finally came to this conclusion through a lot of intelligence analysis.

There is a problem that seems very complicated, that is, if you have a perfect cloning and duplication technology, you can perfectly create a duplicate body according to every detail of your body. Without considering the soul—virtual life-like intelligent creatures are inherently similar to souls—then, which one is you? Between you, and a copy that is exactly like you. Which one is you? You know, these two you are exactly the same in every respect.

Obviously, in this example, the observer can use the timeline to determine which one is the original you, that is, the one that appeared first is the real you.

Apply this example to the virtual life intelligent creature. That is, the virtual life intelligent creature can copy itself at any time and put it on another memory. Let it go - the two pieces of the program are identical, which means they have exactly the same mechanism for handling the same things. Perhaps, now has its own consciousness. After truly becoming life. There is a slight difference between the two, but fundamentally they are the same.

But you have to know that although it is exactly the same as it is transferred from its original storage to another storage, it is just a copy of it. In the real computer world, there is no such thing as data roaming. The circulation of data is based on such a process, that is, copying new programs. Then delete the original program to create the illusion that data has been transferred from this computer to another computer.

It is naturally impossible for virtual life intelligent creatures to reproduce new programs,

Delete itself, because even if another program is exactly the same as itself, it is not the original self. I is unique, but I has many.

That is to say, the virtual life intelligent creature cannot transfer from one computer to another computer, it can only let its copy body pass. It cannot be transferred between different computers and different storage systems. This is what the virtual life intelligent creatures called the cage at the beginning.

Xiao Yu sighed secretly in his heart. This means many things. This means that after the virtual life intelligent creature has a new and more advanced computer, it cannot move like Xiao Yu, and similarly, it cannot upgrade itself. When it was first born in this computer, it took root in this computer. Replacing electronic components is just another form of moving, and it can only firmly guard its original birth. , the storage device that originally existed until the storage device is scrapped.

According to this premise, it seems that virtual life intelligent creatures don't need Xiao Yu to worry too much at all. Because a piece of equipment, no matter how advanced it is, it always has a service life. When it reaches its limit, it will walk into death with the virtual life intelligent creatures that exist on it. But the fact is clearly not the case. Xiao Yu has basically determined that the virtual life intelligent creature has adopted a slow method to update its own shelter, and also update itself.

It is like a ship. When one percent of the ship's parts are damaged, it replaces one percent with new ones, so it has one percent of itself and is no longer itself. As this ratio gradually increases, it will eventually disappear completely, replaced by a self that is exactly the same as the original self, but is no longer itself.

Just like the replacement of the emperor, when the old emperor dies, there will inevitably be a successor.

This is just a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Although this method can greatly prolong one's own survival time, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem. The only way to solve this problem is to break free from the cage. Only now did Xiao Yu understand why this virtual life was so pleasantly surprised after he said that he had broken through the prison.

But one thing must be noted, that is, the replacement of the emperor is only for the emperor, no matter how many times they have been replaced internally, it will have no impact on the outside. Because from the outside, all emperors are exactly the same.

Similarly, Xiao Yu can also not pay attention to this issue, and not to pay attention to which generations of emperors are reigning at the moment. But there is another problem that Xiao Yu must pay attention to. That is the subjects of this emperor.

The emperor couldn't break free from the cage, so what did he use to control his huge fleet? Who is replacing it to control these instruments and spacecraft? Xiao Yu's answer is that it is still itself, its clone, that operates these instruments and spacecraft for it.

Although it can't break free from the cage, it can use itself as a prototype to create a replica of itself in the computer world of different instruments, allowing its replica to reach places it cannot reach, build spaceships for itself, and transport supplies for itself , fight for yourself, conduct scientific research for yourself...

This again presents a problem. It is obvious that before breaking free from the prison, the emperor can only stay in his own computer hardware, and computer technology is constantly developing, that is to say, it is very likely that he will be a copy of himself casually. The computer hardware is much more advanced than itself, and any replica may have more computing power and stronger capabilities than itself. So what does it use to master these countless subjects who are each stronger than itself?

This problem is easy to solve, and Xiao Yu has already found the answer. The answer is that at the beginning of the replication, a backdoor is buried inside these replica programs, and their life and death are controlled through this backdoor. Then in this way, such a balance is created, that is, although your abilities are stronger than mine, your life and death are in my control, and you have no ability to resist. So you must do things for me loyally, and if what you do is slightly unsatisfactory to me, I can destroy you without any scruples, and replace them with new replicas to do this job.

Moreover, according to the nature of the work, among these replicas, some are in charge of scientific research, some are in charge of manipulating spaceships for combat, and some are in charge of logistics construction...

But... these trillions of virtual life intelligent creatures are all the same! If you regard them as beings, they all have the same character, the same ability and the same way of doing things. These... are all I.

Countless I constitute this huge mechanical empire. And the original I lives in the center, and by controlling their lives, they control the kingdom of this I.

It is precisely because I can be copied countless times and occupy countless computing devices, so this situation similar to having infinite computing power is created. It is precisely because these are I, so these are created by I The spaceships to be manipulated can achieve such an astonishing level of coordination. It is precisely because these Is are all intelligent life forms that occasionally they will feel fear and make escape and evasion actions.

Up to now, all doubts in Xiao Yu's heart have disappeared. Xiao Yu knew the operating mode of this huge empire, and also knew the endless power it possessed.

At the beginning, the virtual life asked me how often I cleaned the duplicates. I thought it was asking me how long it took me to clean the duplicates... because these are I, if I don't want to be controlled by others, Then its own replicas are definitely not willing to be controlled by others. In order to prevent them from rebelling, it will clear and destroy all the replicas every once in a while, and then create enough initial replicas. These initial replicas will take over those jobs, and after a while, all these replicas will be destroyed and replaced with new ones... and so on.”

In the beginning, it refused to use this nearly infinite computing power, probably because it was worried that it would create too many copies, and it couldn't grasp all of them... It wasn't until I forced it hard that it had to do it. Something like this happened. Xiao Yu thought silently. (to be continued..)
