Chapter 558 Higher-level artificial intelligence?

"Does it have autonomous intelligence..."

In the cockpit of the research ship, Wang Jing lowered her eyes, and the expression on her face became complicated.

For the anti-universe, this is undoubtedly good news.

If the control system of the central black hole singularity really has autonomous intelligence, it means that they only need to input a trivial key instruction to the singularity to complete the control of the entire anti-universe bubble, and these black rays that are constantly expanding and swallowing everything will dissipate.

Just like driving a starship.

With the assistance of the ship-borne main brain, the driver usually only needs to issue a vague instruction, and any complex and precise control process is completed autonomously by the ship-borne main brain.

However, everything has two sides.

For the fleet located in the black mang star field, this obviously means a deeper crisis-since the singularity control system has autonomous intelligence, how to ensure that this control system will not identify the fleet as an invader?

You know, this thing is the creation of broadcast civilization!

If it is identified as an invader by the central singularity, what kind of crisis will the fleet face?

All this is unknown, and Wang Jing naturally has some uneasiness and worry in his heart.

"Don't worry."

Perhaps sensing the uneasiness in Wang Jing's heart from her expression, Chief Lu spoke to comfort her in the communication interface: "Zero's calculation results show that the intelligence and perfection of the Singularity Control System are far inferior to the underlying code of [Su Zheng]."

"The intelligence derived from this level of underlying logic can only reach the level of One at most, or even..."

"It may not be as good as One."

Chief Lu shrugged, a fleeting confusion flashed in his eyes: "It's a bit strange to say."

"Zero conducted a detailed comparison and analysis, and finally found more than 100,000 key nodes in the Singularity Control System that are currently mastered that are extremely similar to the underlying logic of [Su Zheng]."

"Rather than saying that the underlying code of [Su Zheng] is similar to the Singularity Operating System, it is better to say..."

"[Su Zheng] is more like an advanced version of the Singularity Control System."

Hearing Chief Lu's words, Wang Jing's expression did not change much. Instead, Chen Fan, who was in the Investigator Starship and had been listening, changed his face instantly: "What?! Advanced version?!"

This exclamation directly attracted the attention of Wang Jing, Chief Lu and Zero.

"Chen Fan?" Wang Jing frowned slightly, looking at Chen Fan, whose face was still bleak in the communication interface, "Is there any problem with this matter?"

"It's a big problem!"

Chen Fan's face became more and more ugly: "Academician Wang, do you know what the biggest threat of [Su Zheng] is?"

"...Quasi-level III artificial intelligence?"

"No, no, no." Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly, "It's incubation."

"Don't forget, in the investigation mission I was carrying out, the first one to show clues was just a [Source] that had just been promoted to level II artificial intelligence."

"[Su Zheng] hatched [Source]."

"[Source], which evolved with the help of a large number of intelligent life forms on Varela, is just an experience package for [Su Zheng] to be promoted to level III artificial intelligence."

"Similar situations are not the only ones in the node universe. The investigators sent by the Administration to support are also working hard for these potential artificial intelligences. I have checked the archives of the Administration before. So far, a total of 106 level I artificial intelligences and 13 quasi-level II artificial intelligences have been found in the node universe!"

"...What do you want to explain?"

Looking at Chen Fan, who was obviously a little agitated, Wang Jing frowned even deeper.

"It's a very simple truth."

Chen Fan sat up straight and took a deep breath: "Academician Wang, [Su Zheng] was also hatched by similar means."

The moment the voice fell, the communication channel fell into silence.

As the top academicians in the Academy of Sciences, Wang Jing and Chief Lu naturally heard the hidden meaning in Chen Fan's words.

"You mean..."

Chief Lu raised his hand to support his chin and looked at Chen Fan thoughtfully: "Broadcast civilization is currently looking for a way to create artificial intelligence?"

"At least it was like this when [Su Zheng] was born." Chen Fan nodded in affirmation.

"An advanced civilization that has mastered information flow technology and time technology, and even uses [string] structure for writing..." Chief Lu's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, "It didn't master artificial intelligence technology?"

"This, this is too..."

Although he knew that this conjecture had a considerable possibility of coming true, Chief Lu still felt it was unreliable from the bottom of his heart.

The reason is simple.

Artificial intelligence technology is powerful, but for a high-level civilization of level nine or even above level nine, this thing is not a difficult task - all roads lead to Rome, and the same is true for scientific research.

When the level of science and technology develops to a certain level, even if the technology tree that lights up in the process of civilization development deviates, it will not have much impact.

It's nothing more than spending a little more time on research.

But the current situation is obviously not right.

The construction time of the anti-universe central singularity control system is an astronomical figure.

As for [Suzheng]...

According to the information currently available, its birth time is only a million years.

In other words, in order to "research and develop" artificial intelligence, such a powerful broadcasting civilization actually spent billions or even tens of billions of years? !

Or...

the strength of the broadcasting civilization is not as strong as imagined?

For a time, Chief Lu's confusion became more and more serious.

"Maybe..."

Chen Fan noticed the confusion in Chief Lu's heart, and he said in a faint tone: "Broadcast civilization is trying to create a higher level of artificial intelligence?"

"Academician Lu, are you sure that there are only three levels of artificial intelligence?"

Chief Lu's expression froze, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the figure beside him: "Zero?"

Not only Chief Lu and Wang Jing, but even Zero, who is a level III artificial intelligence, was stunned: "This..."

If it were before, he could tell Chen Fan the answer with absolute certainty.

But now, after learning about a series of things about [Su Zheng], it is difficult for him to give a definite answer.

"In theory, there should be only three levels of artificial intelligence."

Zero hesitated for a moment, and said in an uncertain tone: "At least, I can't imagine what a higher level of artificial intelligence looks like."

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows.

Uncertainty means that Zero himself does not know where the upper limit of artificial intelligence is.

Just like three-dimensional life cannot understand four-dimensional life.

"Let's consider the singularity control system first."

Wang Jing sighed imperceptibly and brought the topic back to the point: "Chief, what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple."

Hearing Wang Jing's words, Chief Lu also suppressed his doubts: "The hardware work such as connecting to the central singularity and signal transmission will continue to be handled by Chen Fan, and as for the follow-up..."

"It will be operated remotely by Ling."

"He can solve the underlying code of [Suzheng], so there is no reason why he can't solve the weakened version of the singularity control system."

...

Dozens of hours later.

As the fleet got closer and closer to the central black hole star field, the surrounding environment became worse and worse.

Inside the Genesis Fortress.

"Looking" at the detection picture transmitted by the Kraken through the information flow, Chen Fan fell into complete silence - under the detection of the Kraken radar, dense naked singularities appeared continuously in the nearby starry sky.

These branch singularities are all formed by the wreckage left behind by the Z619 fleet.

It is no exaggeration to say that this star field filled with black light and branch singularities is simply the graveyard of the Z619 fleet!

In order to avoid these singularities, the fleet had to slow down its pace and move around in this slightly "narrow" starry sky.

Not only that, due to the increase in the number of branch singularities, the degree of chaos in this star field is far beyond the edge star field of the anti-universe.

Chen Fan had to endure the sense of emptiness coming from the inside of the consciousness body and tried his best to stabilize the chaotic information flow around the fleet.

Of course, the output power of the Genesis Fortress has also increased significantly compared to the beginning.

Suddenly!

A strong wave came from the front of the fleet, and the intensity of the information flow sent back by Kraken also soared instantly!

[Sir Chen Fan! ]

Kraken's hurried voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind: [The central singularity is right in front of us! ]

Chen Fan subconsciously raised his head, relying on the high-dimensional perspective unique to the consciousness body, and looked in the direction indicated by Kraken.

A small gray dot was like an object that did not belong to this world, floating in the depths of the black light.

A huge information flow with a diameter comparable to that of a planet entangled with each other around this gray virtual point, and against the background of the black light, it formed a picture with a unique charm.

"This is the central singularity..."

Looking at the central singularity system, which is thousands or even tens of thousands times larger than the branch singularity, Chen Fan subconsciously felt a little timid.

Apart from anything else, the information flow with a diameter thicker than that of a planet is enough to be daunting!

After all... who knows how powerful the information impact of this thing is? !

"... I will notify the fleet to slow down."

After calming down, Chen Fan sent two completely identical information streams to the main brain of the Genesis Fortress and the research ship.

...

Under the command of Kraken and Chen Fan, the fleet, with a golden shield, slowly docked fifty light years away from the central singularity.

Even if we put aside the harsh environment around the central singularity, compared to the size of the fleet itself, fifty light years is a very sensitive distance - you know, the scale of the Genesis Fortress, the core of the fleet, has reached fifty light years!

Rumble...

After completing the stationing, the fleet once again operated in a way that Chen Fan was very familiar with.

As the light blue materialized light paths quickly connected, the previously disbanded matrix operation array reappeared in the Black Star Field.

It will provide local computing power support for subsequent decryption work. Although it is not as powerful as the computing power of the Academy of Sciences' remote support, it is better in terms of low latency that is almost reduced to zero. After the triple conversion of Kraken, the Xinaluo fleet, and the node universe star gate console, the computing power delay from the Human Union main universe has almost reached 1ms, which is shocking!

For such a delicate and difficult operation, a delay of 1ms can almost be a death sentence.

Because of this, the matrix operation array deployed in the Black Star Field is particularly critical.

"Kraken, we are ready to go."

Looking at the completely formed matrix operation array, Chen Fan's mind moved and gently triggered a stream of information.

Swish!

The last digit of the coordinate parameter changed quietly, and Chen Fan's consciousness, which flickered like a light bulb, also disappeared in the battery compartment filled with azure zero-point energy.

The strength and scale of the central singularity far exceeded the branch singularity. Therefore, Chen Fan could only put the entry point on the branch line as far away from the central singularity as possible-to be precise, it should be the branch line of the branch of the branch.

Fortunately, the strength of the central singularity is strong enough. After several bifurcations, the information flow, which is as thick as an adult's forearm, is still vaguely visible under the cover of the black light.

"That's it!"

After simply testing the strength of the branch information flow, Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction, and raised his hand to reach out to the information flow in front of him.

[Sir Chen Fan...]

Seeing this scene, the light band transformed by the Kraken on his waist slowly jumped a few times, and a worried information flow lingered around Chen Fan: [Is your consciousness body really okay? ]

As the Kraken spoke, the figure emitting a white light flashed several times again.

"Don't worry."

Chen Fan smiled heartily: "I am a third-class life form. The collapse of my consciousness body can't do anything to me."

"At most... I'll have a good sleep like you."

"Wait..." His eyes suddenly lit up, "In this way, Song Ziliang and Wang Jing can no longer send me investigation tasks, and I can also receive work injury subsidies from the Administration!"

"Perfect!!"

Kraken: [? ? ? 】

As Kraken looked at him in shock and confusion, Chen Fan excitedly raised his hand and grabbed the information flow in front of him.

Boom!!!

After withstanding the initial information shock, Chen Fan skillfully installed a layer of "filter" inside the singularity information flow.

"Kraken, tell Ling Zu that the channel has been completed and the basic preparations have been completed."

The moment the words fell, the light band wrapped around his waist fluctuated rapidly.

This is...

the data stream sent by Zero!

After being transformed by Kraken, these data streams quickly turned into information streams, and along the information flow path built by Kraken, all of them poured into Chen Fan's mind!

The information flow is extremely complex, but it exudes an inexplicable sense of familiarity from the inside out.

Just like the code of [Seriousness].

This thought suddenly flashed through Chen Fan's mind.

Before he had time to think about it, he subconsciously controlled this information flow to pierce into the central singularity information flow.

Just like the previous operation, Chen Fan used his own power to wrap up this string of compiled information, pushing it upstream along the winding singularity information flow, and rushing straight towards the naked singularity at the end of the information flow!

This is the most critical step in seizing the control authority of the singularity, and it is also the most dangerous step-compared with the branch singularity, the impact of the central singularity information flow is obviously several levels stronger!

Twenty light years! Ten light years!

!

One light year! ! !

The speed of the information flow is far faster than the speed of light.

Under Chen Fan's push, this stream of compiled information from Zero and Kraken was rushing towards that empty gray dot at an extremely fast speed!!
