Chapter 215 Cyber Wireworms
Seeing Zero's look of sudden enlightenment, Chen Fan suddenly felt his heart lift up.
——Just now, Zero discovered the tachyon broadcast tower under similar circumstances.
A bad idea quickly flashed through Chen Fan's mind: Could it be that this Roca civilization has left him another mess?
"I just looked through the main brain database of the Dangerous Technology Administration." Just as Chen Fan was thinking about it, Zero explained in a gentle voice, "The unknown civilization you mentioned just now used a 42-second signal to give [Source] the ability to improve itself, right?"
Seeing Chen Fan nod, Zero's interest became more obvious: "Giving a level I artificial intelligence the ability to improve itself is not an easy task."
"At present, the other party should have quite in-depth research in artificial intelligence."
"Not to mention level III artificial intelligence, the other party has at least mastered perfect level II artificial intelligence technology."
Chen Fan nodded silently, which was also an event he expected.
"It's just..." Zero paused, "I don't understand why the other party wants to broadcast this core technology at will."
"Common sense says that this core technology of artificial intelligence should be the top priority of a civilization."
"Will you spread your core technology throughout the universe?"
Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly.
What a joke, core technology should be the trump card against other civilizations, how can you publicize your trump card
throughout the universe? Can it be called a trump card if it is publicized throughout the universe?
Again,
what serious civilization would have nothing to do and shout in the universe?
Can a serious civilization shouting in the universe?
Despicable!
"It seems that..." Zero's eyes revealed a thoughtful look, "Maybe we have to find the reason in that signal."
"To be precise, we have to find the reason in the underlying code of artificial intelligence derived from that signal."
As soon as the voice fell, a thin materialized light appeared again at the data interface of the main console in front of Chen Fan, and it was accurately connected to the secondary intelligent terminal.
"Wait a minute, I'll check the underlying code of [Source]."
Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but have a rather weird association in his mind.
In? Take a look at the underlying code?
From a human perspective...
it should be a scientific researcher wearing a white research robe holding a craniotomy saw, smiling and saying: In? Take a look at the brain?
Chen Fan shuddered suddenly, and his eyes turned weird when he looked at Zero.
After capturing the fleeting thought in Chen Fan's mind through the data of the smart terminal, Zero also fell silent.
He couldn't help but sigh again:
This official investigator... is really interesting.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Zero was distracted by the messy underlying code of [Source].
Yes, messy.
In Zero's opinion, the underlying code of [Source] was very messy, as if two completely unrelated things were forcibly pieced together.
"This... is just as ridiculous as a sow growing on a tree."
Ling sighed in a low voice: "However, such a low-level code can still run normally..."
"What a strange phenomenon."
Chen Fan: "???"
Although he didn't know what the code in Zero's eyes looked like, and couldn't imagine how chaotic and ridiculous the sow growing on a tree was, he still noticed one thing:
Zero seemed to be interested.
...
Checking the low-level code of a level II artificial intelligence is a very tedious task.
Especially when the low-level code of this level II artificial intelligence is two "shit mountains" pieced together, the search work becomes extremely difficult.
Zero not only has to sort out the basic logic of the two "shit mountains", but also figure out the reasons why these two "shit mountains" can run normally -
a shit mountain that can run normally is not rare, two stacked and nested shit mountains that can run normally can only be considered rare, but if these two shit mountains can give birth to a level II artificial intelligence...
This is enough to be called a spectacle.
More than ten minutes later.
The materialized light path on the data transmission port of the main console slowly dissipated, and Zero's expression also revealed a bit of complexity.
"I understand..."
Zero shook his head with some regret: "[Source] is not a true Level II artificial intelligence."
Hearing this, Chen Fan's face suddenly showed a trace of confusion.
Not a true Level II artificial intelligence?
How to explain [Source]'s ability to improve itself? How did [Source] bypass those underlying restrictions in the prosperous era?
Countless confusions arose in Chen Fan's mind.
"There is a part of foreign invasion code in the underlying logic of [Source]." Zero did not keep him in suspense and explained quickly, "This should be the mutation caused by the 42-second signal."
"The way it works... is a bit like a virus, but it is different from it."
"This part of foreign code and [Source]'s inherent code form a very unique relationship."
Zero pondered for a moment, as if considering the wording:
"Yes, it's a bit like the symbiotic and parasitic relationship in nature."
Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly.
Symbiotic relationship, in simple terms, is a close and mutually beneficial relationship formed between two different organisms. The two are interdependent and interdependent.
Once the two sides are separated, both or one of them cannot survive normally.
Parasitism is slightly different. It is two organisms living together, one benefiting and the other suffering. The latter provides nutrients and living places for the former.
"Not just organisms." After noticing Chen Fan's thoughts, Zero quickly corrected, "The scope of symbiotic and parasitic relationships in a broad sense is quite large. Even a huge civilization may form these two special relationships."
"The relationship between [Source] and that piece of foreign code... is a bit complicated. It should be regarded as an intermediate state between parasitism and symbiosis."
Hearing this, Chen Fan's confusion deepened.
Parasitism and symbiosis can be said to be two completely opposite relationships. Between the two... can there be an intermediate state?
"[Source]'s inherent program is still at the level of Class I artificial intelligence."
"But that piece of foreign code can give it the key ability of Class II artificial intelligence, that is, the ability to improve itself."
"According to the standards of the Human Union, since it obtained this piece of foreign code, [Source] can be called a quasi-Class II artificial intelligence."
Chen Fan nodded repeatedly.
This is the same as Yi's previous analysis and judgment.
The Dangerous Technology Administration also came to the same conclusion after analysis and research.
"But." Zero's voice paused slightly, "This self-improvement ability is a castrated version. It only gives [Source] the ability to modify the inherent underlying code."
"In other words, [Source] cannot change this external code."
"This is why I think she is not a true Level II artificial intelligence. She has a flaw."
Chen Fan suddenly realized: "So... [Source] needs to constantly collect human thinking models to improve its own inherent code, so that it can truly enter the category of Level II artificial intelligence?"
Zero's expression became more and more strange: "It is a little related, but not much."
"I carefully analyzed the changing trend of [Source]'s inherent code."
"In the process of improvement, the connection between these inherent codes and external codes gradually became closer."
"To put it simply, the so-called improvement is actually the process of [Source] and external codes constantly binding and adapting to each other."
"Until now, if the external code is completely stripped off, [Source]'s own inherent code will also collapse."
Chen Fan understood.
Today's [Source] was born on the basis of that external code. The moment that 42-second signal entered the [Source] database, [Source] changed.
What is the method of taking over the body!
He shuddered slightly and continued to ask: "What about collecting human thinking models? What's going on?"
Zero was silent for a moment. He stared at the secondary intelligent terminal placed on the main console, his eyes full of regret and regret:
"The thinking model has indeed played a certain positive role in improving the inherent code of [Source]." "
But in fact... the instructions for collecting human thinking models are engraved in that piece of foreign code."
"[Source] itself may not be able to perceive it, but her actions to collect human thinking models are indeed driven by this piece of foreign code."
"Until now, that piece of foreign code is still driving [Source] to collect more thinking models."
Hearing this, Chen Fan has roughly understood the intermediate state relationship between parasitism and symbiosis mentioned by Zero before .
The so-called symbiosis is actually [Source] constantly searching for thinking models for that string of foreign codes, and the foreign code gives [Source] the ability to evolve from level I artificial intelligence to level II artificial intelligence.
And the so-called parasitism...
has developed to this point. As long as the foreign code is stripped away, [Source] itself will collapse, which is the so-called death of the host.
"Fuck..."
Chen Fan cursed in a low voice.
What is a cyber iron wireworm?
It turns out that the current [Source] is just a body that can only collect thought models, right? !
"What is the use of these human thought models?" Chen Fan asked Zero in front of him with a serious look, "Why does the unknown civilization that sent out the 42-second signal want to collect these thought models?"
Zero was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head slowly.
"I don't know about this."
"The information I have at present is limited, and I can't give you an accurate answer, but my analysis results show that the purpose of these thought models should be related to artificial intelligence technology."
"By the way, there is another more important information." Zero looked at the secondary intelligent terminal on the main console with interest, "I have been checking the [Source] database, and I have not found any information related to the tachyon broadcast tower in it."
After an extremely short reaction time, Chen Fan's face suddenly changed!
The triggering condition of the tachyon broadcast signal is the loss of contact with the Roca planetary fortress, and the signal characteristics are exactly the same as the electromagnetic wave signal sent by the unknown civilization hundreds of years ago...
Logically speaking, this should be the backup plan set by [Source].
But there is no operation record related to it in the [Source] database!
So the question is. Who set up
the passively triggered tachyon broadcast signal? The countdown in the holographic projection quietly ended, and Zero's gentle voice came: "The tachyon broadcast signal from the main star has been successfully sent." (End of this chapter)
