Chapter 57 Turing Test (Part 2)

As the pilot ship moved forward, a clearer picture appeared in front of Xi Yujin and Ganuo. They watched together the destination that was about to be reached.

The Deep Space Prison originally only referred to the place where the intelligent machines were voluntarily imprisoned. Later, due to the communication between many creatures here, the broad scope of the Deep Space Prison was gradually expanded. Now the creatures here call the area where the intelligent machine terminals are located the "outer domain" and the area where the intelligent machines are located the "secret prison". The "outer domain" is the prosperous starry sky that Xi Yujin and his friends see.

Mechanical celestial bodies floating in space have many functions, one of which is to divide the lanes for spacecraft by flashing lights to prevent large ships from colliding with small ships and causing tears to flow.

The pilot ship stopped in a relatively open area as instructed. There were many similar planetary ships visible to the naked eye, but some looked like bottle caps, while others were still intact and round.

"We have arrived at our destination. We are about to release the gravity link. Please be careful not to stand on the gravity channel..."

With the creaking sound of the spacecrafts colliding with each other, the pilot ship completed its mission. The passengers who accompanied them all the way were about to part. Ketuerte came to greet Xi Yujin and said that it would be great if they could play cards together in the future. Xi Yujin said that they would consider launching a card-playing website.

The Qing tribe also came to remind Xi Yujin tactfully not to forget to share the sequel. Xi Yujin smiled and said that a civilization as big as Blue Star would of course share the sequel, and then gave the 40th chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions. The Qing tribe left with satisfaction.

There were also astronauts who were taking a break who came to say goodbye to Xi Yujin. The astronaut who loved the magical girl even asked if he could meet Fei Niao. Xi Yujin had to say that Fei Niao was still a child and was taking a nap.

After seeing off the friends made along the way, the Chaoping will begin to explore the territory of the intelligent machines.

When the Chaoping passed the mechanical celestial body, it found that there were different instructions on it. If it wanted to go to different planets, it could fly around the mechanical celestial body in different orbits. The mechanical celestial body would help accelerate and avoid congestion.

"There's still a traffic jam here..." Xi Yujin was deeply impressed by the advanced technology here and could not imagine the traffic jam in space.

He also now knew that the huge track that stretched across space was a unique space high-speed rail. Because there were too many spaceships, it was sometimes difficult to find a parking space, but using the space high-speed rail would not have this trouble and could directly and quickly reach the destination.

"I really want to take a ride on it once..." Xi Yujin stared at the space high-speed train.

The Tide Flat found a deserted planet to park. Although there were not many aircrafts for some reason, Xi Yujin still wanted to go down for a walk, and naturally, Ganuo followed. But the little rust tribe appeared out of nowhere. They are called rust tribe because they can shake out small rust stains from their hair, which makes it difficult for soft organisms to remove them. The little rust tribe directly brushed Ganuo's arms and clothes, leaving a large group of black spots, and jumped on the window, not noticing the accident at all.

"Please let me go..." Gano didn't know what to say to the little rust tribe, looking at the stains on his arm, he was a little embarrassed. Keeping clean is the etiquette of knights.

"I'm just going to the planet to buy some food. I'll be back soon." Xi Yujin said sympathetically, "The security of the Omnic Tribe is good. I'll be fine."

Ganuo thought that the cleaning would take a long time, so he could only look at the rust tribe who was still cheerful alone without emotion, and said to Xi Yujin: "If there is any accident, please call me directly. If it exceeds the estimated time, I will go down myself."

Xi Yujin arrived at this prosperous mechanical city by flying. The architectural style here presents a simple and bold geometric beauty. Buildings in the shapes of concentric circles, inverted triangles, and spirals are harmoniously pieced together, reflecting golden light in the sun. Colorful creatures walk on the spacious streets.

A three-meter-tall creature was walking slowly. Xi Yujin managed to pass it from the side. Then two multi-legged reptiles quickly passed in front of Xi Yujin, followed by slime-like security guards, shouting, "Stop, you two little brats!"

The shops on both sides were filled with shouting, bargaining, and complaints about work, with a fireworks atmosphere that didn't quite fit in with this universe. Xi Yujin couldn't help but stop to watch and buy some local specialties. He felt that the creatures walking on the street were all creatures he had never seen before, and couldn't help but sigh at the diversity of species. He thought he had seen a lot, but he didn't expect that he had never seen the same species here.

But he also found something wrong. There were no robots here. Wasn't the terminal of the Omnics here?

He walked to a store, where the owner was selling hot food similar to steamed buns. He was a little hungry, so he bought a bag. The owner had organs similar to a human face, so he looked particularly friendly. So he asked casually: "Why are there no intelligent machines here?"

"Smart machines? Is this your first time here?" The shopkeeper smiled softly, as if he was going to tell a story. Xi Yujin quickly listened attentively.

Suddenly, a speaker on a street lamp made a sound for no reason:

"Target found, switching program."

Xi Yujin felt that someone was locking onto him and looked around warily.

All the creatures around stopped. The fleeing multi-legged creatures stopped running, the chasing security guards stopped running, the shouting stopped, the customers who were still bargaining became expressionless, and the working creatures who were whispering and sharing their daily work were separated like strangers. They all looked in the direction of Xi Yujin, with red light flashing in their eyes. The shop owner also raised his head little by little, with a mechanical light flashing in his eyes.

All the creatures said in unison:

"We are all intelligent machine race!"

Xi Yujin looked up and saw that even the cameras on the street were pointed at him. Xi Yujin was the only normal creature on the entire street!

"Hello, Lan Xing Yu Jin."

All the creatures seemed to be reading a text without emotion, with the same tone, speed and loudness. They were busy trading just now, but now they seemed to have been drained of their souls. The strange scene made Xi Yujin's scalp numb. He shouted directly: "Stop! Can you send only one terminal to talk to me!"

The mechanical creatures paused for a moment, kept silent, smiled at the same angle, and looked at Xi Yujin with friendly eyes. The shopkeeper in front of Xi Yujin took a step forward and repeated with a standard smile:

"Hello, Bluestar Embers."

Xi Yujin barely suppressed his discomfort and asked, "What can I do for you?"

"One cosmic hour ago, a Qing tribe member traded with us using their race's mental disorder treatment report." The shop owner said, "We learned from it that they used Blue Star civilization as the basis for treatment. Therefore, our program became interested in Blue Star civilization."

Xi Yujin couldn't help but think of some strange things while feeling nervous. He really wanted to know the principle of the creation of the intelligent machines.

Even though the scene in front of him was very strange, this was a robot with thinking ability! He was talking to this kind of robot! There were too many things in the interstellar era that piqued his interest!

"We have collected information about the Blue Star civilization, including that Blue Star is a civilization that has never been cut off since it was an isolated planet; Blue Star used other creatures as food in ancient times; Blue Star's main diplomat is Embers; Blue Star civilization was born on a planet and has now moved to a star; Blue Star once appeared on the edge of the universe..."

Xi Yujin listened quietly.

"Due to the lack of mother box authorization, we cannot open the black box to find out the truth. However, we have compared the many clues that have appeared on the Internet. For example, the novelist 'Xun Ming' and the novelist 'Yong Ye' both have habitual word errors. For example, the novelist 'Qiong Tian' and the novelist 'Cang Hai' have consistent sentence usage. Therefore, we speculate that -

There is only one person on the Blue Star, and that is you, Ember."

The owner still maintained his kind smile.

Xi Yujin asked instead: "Who are you?"

Shop owner: "Please allow me to formally introduce myself. The number of our (terminal) integrated host is 2352."

Xi Yujin: "You are just one of the omnics. Where are your fellow omnics?"

Shop owner: "Hello, this is a game result that only I have found."

Xi Yujin: "Don't you share data among yourselves? Or do your fellow tribesmen know these examples, but you are the only one who thinks so."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before saying in a sophistry: "Due to the confidentiality of the order, we will not answer our thought process. Our people agree that there is a high probability that 'there is only one person left on Blue Planet'. According to statistical evidence, this is sufficient to be considered a fact."

Xi Yujin: "But you are still unsure, so you sent so many terminals to come and talk to me, just to get more accurate evidence from me."

Shop owner: “We’re just thinking rigorously.”

Xi Yujin: "I think you haven't taken one variable into consideration, and that is time. If you spend more time understanding Blue Star, your conclusion will not be so one-sided."

2352 was silent, as if thinking about this possibility.

Xi Yujin seized this opportunity to defend himself: "Why not wait a little longer and collect more information to verify your guess?"

He had learned from 2352 that only the omnic mother box had the authority to open the black box, and his website was still safe. There was only one omnic behind so many terminals, and other omnics did not agree with this conclusion. And now he needed more time to build his Blue Star more perfectly.

The thought of the robot 2352 took only one or two seconds, but it seemed so long to Xi Yujin. Finally, the shop owner nodded and said, "I agree with your statement. I will collect more evidence and communicate with you again."

Then the shop owner lowered his head and continued to steam buns, and other passers-by continued to perform the urban sitcom, as if nothing had happened just now. Xi Yujin could no longer feel the bustle of the place, but instead felt a chill behind him. He quickly bought food and ran back to Chaopinghao.

"I've never felt so safe on the Tide Peace... The Omnics have exposed my true identity so quickly. I can't just sit there and wait for death. They are learning about me, and I also need to learn all about the Omnics as a species."

Xi Yujin returned to the Chaoping, relaxed a little, and slumped down on the sofa. The Rust Clan next to him jumped on the coffee table, leaving spots of rust.

"Yujinnuo, are we leaving immediately?" Ganuo asked almost expressionlessly. He was dissatisfied with his ability. If only he were stronger, he would practice more with the intelligent machine model in space in the future.

"Of course not. I won't leave any hidden dangers."

Xi Yujin has already imagined the bleak future of Blue Star: one day the intelligent machines will announce the truth, and Blue Star will no longer be the ancient civilization in the eyes of others. It will be supported by only one human being and can be captured by a slightly larger force... Other races that once admired Blue Star will feel deeply deceived and even be furious to retaliate against Xi Yujin.

This kind of future will never happen!

Xi Yujin spoke slowly, as if recalling the past:

"Before us, we would let a computer pretend to communicate with another human. If the human determined that the person being chatted with was a human, then we would think that the computer had intelligence and had passed the Turing test..."

Xi Yujin stood up, and he had regained his usual spirit. He even looked like an evil scientist preparing to conduct anti-human experiments. He said to the space, to the intelligent machines hiding in deep space:

"This is my... reverse Turing test."
