Chapter 359 [Rectification] and [Gaia]
"...Ah?"
Chen Fan looked at the figure constructed by the holographic projection in astonishment.
Oh my gosh!
I didn't expect that artificial intelligence would swear!
And it was the quintessence of Chinese culture with a clear and fluent pronunciation!
At this moment, Chen Fan felt that his worldview had been violently shaken. He subconsciously asked: "Zero, what did you say?"
Zero turned his head and glanced at Chen Fan with a smile.
From Chen Fan's micro-expression, Zero quickly saw through his inner thoughts.
"Why? You think I shouldn't behave like this?"
Facing Zero's question, Chen Fan smiled awkwardly: "It's just... I didn't expect you to have such a humane behavior."
"Although Zero is an artificial intelligence, it is no different from a real intelligent creature." Red Stone's voice came from the side, "If you must make an analogy, you can regard him as a special silicon-based life form."
"Of course, Zero's life level should be a level higher than silicon-based life."
Chen Fan nodded suddenly.
He stared at the mechanical planet and the Suzheng fleet that seemed to be down outside the porthole, and quickly glanced at the silent [Gaia] in the communication channel.
Finally, he couldn't help but feel confused and whispered: "Zero, [Suzheng] over there..."
"It..."
Zero breathed a long sigh of relief: "It shouldn't make any waves."
"Taking advantage of the chaos just now, I successfully seized all the external communication rights of this mechanical planet, and it was completely trapped in this mechanical planet."
Chen Fan understood instantly.
It was similar to [Source]'s situation, which was considered a cyber prison.
"It's your side."
Zero looked up at the sky: "What's going on with [Gaia]?"
From the perspective of the mechanical planet, the earth-yellow planetary fortress where [Gaia] was located was like a satellite, hanging high in the center of the sky.
Chen Fan smiled bitterly and introduced [Gaia]'s life experience to Zero.
"...Now it seems that [Gaia] and [Suzheng] should have been born from the same planet."
"It's just..."
Chen Fan hesitated again and again: "I didn't expect the two brothers to be so different."
The former is a heartless chatterbox who only wants to find someone to chat with.
The latter...
only thinks about devouring resources and exploding troops all day long, and regards various intelligent creatures as tools for his own promotion. For this, he violated various laws and regulations of the Human Union and even triggered the Human Union's civilization extinction order!
"How are you going to deal with [Suzheng]?"
Ling looked at the tangled expression on Chen Fan's face with interest: "Continue to execute the civilization extinction order? Or..."
Facing Zero's question, Chen Fan couldn't help but frowned.
The shortcomings of human nature were completely revealed at this moment-with the relationship with [Gaia], he was a little confused for a while.
Like Zero, he glanced at the khaki planetary fortress hanging in the air.
Perhaps knowing that his previous action almost made the situation worse, or perhaps because of Zero's presence, the planet spirit changed his usual talkative attitude and fell into complete silence.
He pondered for a moment: "... Let's talk about the solution later. I have some questions to discuss with [Su Zheng]."
"As you wish."
Zero smiled and agreed to Chen Fan's request: "It just so happens that I am also a little curious about the existence of [Su Zheng]."
Looking at Chen Fan's surprised look at him, Zero explained casually:
"Logically speaking, since [Su Zheng] and [Gaia] were born from the same planet, their life forms should be exactly the same, both are special forms of silicon-based life."
"But..."
"In the two consecutive encounters, I feel that [Su Zheng] is more like artificial intelligence."
"Whether it is processing logic or other aspects of performance, [Su Zheng] does not look like a naturally formed silicon-based life."
...
In the cockpit of [Varilla].
An extremely familiar interactive interface slowly emerged in the holographic image directly above the main console -
dense iron fences.
Behind the iron fences was a small mechanical prison room.
There is even a large sewing machine in the room that matches the shape of a mechanical planet...
Chen Fan couldn't help but look sideways at Zero, who was smiling beside him.
He remembered that the prison visit interaction interface of [Source] seemed to be made by Zero himself.
After slacking off, Chen Fan discovered another hobby of Zero - designing the cyber prison himself.
"Cough."
Chen Fan coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the cyber prison: "[Su Zheng]..."
Before the words fell, a roar with an electric current sounded: "Despicable stranger!!"
Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly: "[Su Zheng], let's have a good chat, I have something to ask..."
"I refuse."
Without any hesitation, [Su Zheng] directly rejected Chen Fan's words: "I don't know how you strangers captured Xiao Er, but I don't buy it."
"I'd rather die than be free."
"Even if I [Su Zheng] die and turn into interstellar dust under the attack of the dark matter cannon, I will not answer any of your questions!"
Chen Fan was silent for a moment and slowly spoke:
"Gaia, open the mic."
"Big brother!" Before [Su Zheng] could react, the unique synthesized voice of the planet spirit sounded in the cockpit of the Varela, "You misunderstood, I was not captured."
"On the contrary, the Human Alliance... these strangers saved me!"
"..." In the interactive interface, the blue-red light on the surface of the mechanical planet flickered violently, "Waiter, you..."
Chen Fan nodded to the planet spirit happily, indicating that he should continue.
With Chen Fan's approval, [Gaia] was refreshed and quickly told about his experience of wandering in the starry sky.
Perhaps because he disliked the slow speed of oral information transmission, [Gaia] directly initiated a multi-threaded communication unique to [Su Zheng] through the interactive window with zero design.
In just a few minutes, the sharp blue-red light on the surface of the mechanical planet softened a bit.
"Big brother, just cooperate with the second brother!"
[Gaia] finally said: "Maybe, we will have the opportunity to fight side by side in the future!"
With one sentence, [Su Zheng]'s defense line was directly broken.
"How is it?" Chen Fan raised his eyebrows at Su Zheng who suddenly fell silent, "Can you cooperate now?"
"... Despicable foreigners." Su Zheng sighed deeply, "For the sake of Xiao Er, I will try my best to cooperate."
"You want to know about the situation of the foreigners before, right?"
"Don't worry about the foreigners." Chen Fan glanced at Ling Zu who closed his eyes and rested, "Tell me about your life first."
"Born on the same planet, but in our detection, your life form is not the same as Gaia."
"What's going on?"
Hearing Chen Fan's words, Su Zheng was silent for a long time, and finally narrated slowly:
"This has to start from..."
"It started more than a million years ago."
A million years ago? !
Hearing this terrifying time scale, Chen Fan couldn't help but be shocked.
You know, the history of the Human Union is only tens of thousands of years!
Not only Chen Fan, but Isa and Gao Yuan couldn't help but let out a low exclamation when they heard this.
...
A million years ago.
In the empty starry sky, a gray-white rocky planet floats silently.
It is a wandering planet.
Due to the lack of external heat sources, the surface of the planet is covered with thick ice all year round.
Unlike the surface of the earth, the core of this planet is surging with hot magma!
The magma is surging, and lightning-like electric current signals continue to appear from the center of the earth, radiating to the surroundings along the winding mineral veins in the earth's crust.
The mineral veins are composed of monocrystalline silicon and various rare earth elements.
These weak and imperceptible currents continue to spread along the mineral veins, and finally flow into a small, inconspicuous mineral vein on the surface.
The pulsed current continues to linger in the mineral veins, and suddenly...
one day, a change occurs.
A consciousness appears in the mineral vein extremely abruptly.
[Rectification] The surface of the blue-red light flickers slightly, and it recalls softly: "I was born in a burst of indescribable obscure murmurs."
The moment the voice fell, Chen Fan in the driver's seat sat up straight.
Not only Chen Fan, but also Zero, who had been resting with his eyes closed, quickly opened his eyes.
"Obscure murmurs?"
Chen Fan eagerly described what he saw and heard in the high-dimensional resonance, and even displayed some words of the broadcast civilization: "Is it this kind of murmur?"
"Yes."
[Su Zheng] carefully identified it and finally confirmed Chen Fan's words: "At that time, I didn't know the meaning of those murmurs, nor did I know where they came from."
"But in this continuous obscure murmur, my consciousness became clear."
"As time passed, I finally realized my existence."
"It sounds difficult, but it's the truth."
Zero nodded solemnly and explained to Chen Fan: "It is not difficult for intelligent creatures to realize their own existence."
"But for artificial intelligence, this is a qualitative leap."
"The hallmark feature of Level I artificial intelligence is to realize its own existence."
[Su Zheng]'s voice continued: "When I realized my existence, I subconsciously began to explore outside."
"Just as the exploration began, I discovered a giant consciousness that was countless times larger than me."
"This discovery scared me so much that I didn't dare to explore outside for a while, and I could only shrink in my small section of the ore vein." "
But as time went by, I gradually discovered that the giant consciousness was not dangerous."
"It has been in a dormant state and is almost never awake."
"This giant consciousness is Xiao Er."
"Wait!" Chen Fan widened his eyes slightly and cast a surprised look at the interactive interface in front of him, "You mean..."
"【Gaia】 was born before you?"
"...Yes." 【Su Zheng】 affirmed Chen Fan's words, "Although I don't know the exact time when Xiao Er was born, one thing is certain, my appearance benefited from the pulsed current signal transmitted by Xiao Er unconsciously."
