Chapter 1028 AI God
When Lu Yao found the robot, he discovered that it was in a state of facing the wall and thinking about its mistakes, with the display screen facing the side wall of the passage.
What's going on? Just as Lu Yao was wondering, a cleaning lady who was towing a cleaning cart passed by and said, "It's broken again. This robot has been having problems recently. It should be sent back to the factory for repair. It can't find its way."
Lu Yao asked her for advice and learned that this shopping guide robot has been here for two years.
A month ago, the machine started to have minor problems from time to time, occasionally finding obstacles and suddenly stopping. However, since it was not a big deal, no one paid attention to it. The manager of the mall said that the manufacturer would come to repair it.
"They say there's something wrong with the battery." The auntie leaned on the mop, her face showing the kind of contempt that is unique to gossip: "The power consumption has also increased, but there's nothing else wrong with it, it won't hurt anyone, it's just very stupid. You're interested in this, is this your job?"
“Somewhat.”
“No wonder.”
Auntie asked, "What do you think is the problem?"
Lu Yao said: "It's hard to say, maybe we need to check it carefully to know for sure."
The aunt said "oh" and walked away somewhat disappointed.
More than ten minutes later, Song Shiyi ran all the way over from the escalator, panting.
She wore a thin yellow sweater today and a baseball cap to hold her hair down. Song Shiyi was rarely without makeup, her eyebrows and lips were lighter in color, and she looked younger than usual, obviously in a hurry to go out.
Lu Yao pointed at the strange shopping guide robot.
Song Shiyi first lowered her head and leaned over to carefully observe the robot: "From the perspective of craftsmanship, it doesn't look like it was made by us. It's too rough. I have to ask my colleagues in the bureau to come over to confirm it."
She took photos and sent them to others, and made phone calls. Twenty minutes later, the backup arrived. The two men who came were the older one wearing a windbreaker and the younger one wearing a denim jacket.
Song Shiyi gave a brief introduction.
The younger one is called Xu Jingxuan. He came in at the same time as Wei Yingxue and is an investigator from the Executive Bureau.
The man in the jacket is Wu Ke, about 40 years old, and he keeps blinking, as if his eyes are uncomfortable. He is the deputy researcher of the Executive Bureau, which is equivalent to the deputy director in terms of rank, and he has strong professional ability.
The two pushed the shopping guide robot to a corner and drew yellow lines around it. Xu Jingxuan put on work gloves, opened a tool box he brought with him, and began to dismantle the machine skillfully.
Wu Ke dripped some eye drops into his eyes, squeezed hard, and said, "The mall has received the notice, and the police in plain clothes have also entered to cooperate, but in order not to affect others, we should finish it quickly."
Xu Jingxuan looked at the calculator-like instrument in his hand: "There is indeed a spatial distortion reaction in the robot. The [Luban Counter] shows 4th class, which is within the normal scope of the god's authority."
He gestured and said, "The simulator's projection is in a deep file, stored in this machine in binary machine language. However, it is just an intelligent machine. Under normal circumstances, it should not be able to trigger the virtual universe operation because it does not have the ability to make independent judgments and decisions. But what is happening in the virtual universe requires colleagues from the technical team to conduct remote positioning and track coordinates to determine it."
Wu Ke rubbed his eyes: "Well, check it out."
Xu Jingxuan became busy again.
Wu Ke looked around the surroundings.
He answered another long phone call, and then said to Lu Yao and Song Shiyi: "The purchase and use process of this shopping guide robot is clear, there is no problem, but it has something to do with a shop on this floor."
Wu Ke walked forward about thirty meters, stopped next to a small Langya potato shop, and asked Lu Yao and Song Shiyi what they wanted to eat.
Song Shiyi said: "Wolf tooth potatoes, spicy, sweet and sour."
Lu Yao looked at the dishes posted on the counter: "Three Fresh Lemon Ice Jelly."
The shop has only a long counter. The owner is a tall middle-aged man. He is busy working in a white apron, a transparent mask, and disposable gloves on both hands.
Wu Ke took out a silver metal gyroscope from his arms and gently turned it with his fingers. The gyroscope spun steadily on the counter table with almost no deviation.
He stared at it until the takeaway food arrived.
Lu Yao calculated that the gyroscope had been spinning for at least five minutes.
Wu Ke took the two pancakes and grabbed the gyroscope.
A group of people walked aside.
"According to the measurement of the [Gyro], everything here is normal. There is no reaction to the presence or use of other props."
Wu Ke looked at the potato shop behind and said, "The owner's nephew often plays pinball games on the shopping guide robot. The child is 12 years old, in the first grade of junior high school, introverted, and has few friends. After his parents died of illness, his uncle raised him. He disappeared a month ago."
"The Execution Bureau has been following up on this case, so we found a match as soon as we checked. The middle school student left a note before he disappeared from home, which basically said that he was gone and asked his uncle not to worry. It looked like a last will. We found space distortion in the child's room and confirmed that he should have descended into the virtual universe. There have been such cases in the past."
"The police contacted his classmates and teachers and confirmed that the child was living a miserable life. He was very lonely at home and at school and was always alone. In the end, he chose to go there on the simulator."
"It is basically certain that the child used his divine power to cause a reaction in the robot, and wanted to take the robot with him."
Song Shiyi asked: "Why a shopping guide robot?"
"Because he can't find anyone else." Wu Ke said.
Lu Yao could understand.
When you are a teenager, anything is possible.
The three of them went back to Xu Jingxuan's place, where he took out a laptop and turned on the simulator, on which appeared a pixelated screen that was familiar to Lu Yao.
"Found it?" Wu Ke handed him a pancake.
"Found it, Master. The technical team did a great job positioning this time." Xu Jingxuan took the cake and pointed at the screen.
Lu Yao noticed that in the center of the screen was a humanoid stone statue sitting cross-legged on the ground, which looked like a young boy. Next to it was a statue of a god, which had the same outline as the shopping guide robot.
Surrounding the two statues, many pixelated people were kneeling and praying.
"This is the first time such a situation has occurred in our city." Xu Jingxuan asked, "Master, should we continue to observe?"
"Observe first, follow the procedure, there's no rush."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Wu Ke took a bite of the cake and said, "Take the machine away, collect it."
"yes."
Xu Jingxuan removed a board from inside, and he and Wu Ke said hello to Lu Yao and the others before leaving in a hurry.
The efficiency of the Executive Bureau was even faster than Lu Yao had expected.
Soon someone collected the remaining parts of the machine and took them away with a cart, without affecting the normal operations of the mall at all.
Lu Yao then asked Song Shiyi: "Can robots also use divine power?"
"I don't know about that."
Song Shiyi looked confused: "Let's ask Mr. Zao, he should know."
The two of them left the mall and got into Song Shiyi's car parked on the side of the road.
Song Shiyi made a video call with her mobile phone, and Ding Hanzhen's appearance appeared on the screen. He was in a place that looked like a conference room, wearing a more formal black jacket and shirt, and his hair was neatly combed.
After hearing Lu Yao's question, Ding Hanzhen pondered for a moment: "In theory, as long as the divine nature is judged, the simulator can complete the projection, and projecting the statue representing the divine nature in the virtual universe can affect many virtual universe lives."
“However, in reality, there are not that many Godheads that can be used for this experiment, so it is more of a theoretical deduction.”
The old man laughed and said, "Whether it is real or imaginary, people don't really care who is God. As long as there is a God or a suspected God, there will be people who believe in it. This represents a projection of hope and a simple exchange of cognition. People pray and offer sacrifices to God, and God helps people overcome difficulties... The concept of God has a special meaning to people."
"It can be said that God is the ultimate tool for people to understand the world. If you encounter unexplainable phenomena, or things or objects that are beyond common sense, then God can explain it all. This is also a kind of self-protection for human cognition and survival."
"A god can be a person, a cat, an insect, or even a robot. The "heavenly soldiers" of [Nantianmen] are such deities, and a considerable number of them are AI gods. They open up wasteland and cultivate farmland, and make all kinds of tools. AI gods and monsters can better execute orders, develop new worlds, enter border zones... and even impact the over-limit zone. They have become the main force."
Lu Yao held his breath when he heard this.
The committee has gone to great lengths to develop the godhead.
He asked, "You mean, the committee has a large number of AI gods?"
"certainly."
Ding Hanzhen smiled and said: "We have been developing artificial intelligence technology in the real universe. Now the artificial intelligence model led by Chatgpt is in full swing. In fact, the virtual universe has already started. Many policies and technologies are first tried in the virtual universe. The virtual universe plays a huge role and can provide many solutions and references for the real universe."
"In the past, the [Investiture of the Gods] could accommodate 365 true gods, that is, positions for titled gods. This can be considered the earliest pilot. After generations of improvements, the [Investiture of the Gods] has transformed 133,225 AI deities, which are formally organized partial gods. They have long been committed to helping us solve many repetitive problems. Of course, there are many technical difficulties. For example, the godhood cannot be manufactured so far and can only be purchased through various means."
"This technology has a specific model and transformation process, but the one you mentioned, as far as I can remember, is a type of transformation that has never been seen before, and it is very worth studying."
Lu Yao pondered in his heart.
According to the Kitchen God, Heaven has created a huge team of AI gods, and just the part of their strength that has been displayed is astonishing.
Ding Hanzhen thought for a moment and said, "If you are willing, I will take you to visit the South Gate of Heaven later. Anyway, it will be officially reopened soon. It is necessary for you to understand the functions and operation of the South Gate of Heaven as soon as possible."
Lu Yao's eyes lit up.
Nantianmen is going to reopen, this is big news!
Then you have to go and see it.
