Chapter 362: Visitors

The Machine Soul Project is an open project—open to the public in China.

As the growth-type machine soul is exclusive to the two world organizations, it needs to be kept confidential; the project content disclosed domestically is the related content of the other two types - general-purpose machine soul and special-type machine soul.

Upon learning that Jiang Shan, who had been in seclusion for nearly two years for research, had finally come out and proposed a shocking project as soon as he came out, the higher-ups immediately sent people over, one to express their condolences for Jiang Shan's coming out, and the other to communicate with Jiang Shan about the Machine Soul project.

Right now, while all the people in the world are doing well, China is the only country that is thriving. This cannot be attributed to Jiang Shan, but the role that Jiang Shan played is, after all, not to be ignored and irreplaceable.

The person who came was an acquaintance, a refined middle-aged man.

Accompanying him was Zheng Peng from the 749th Bureau and their third field team, which was the team that Si Teng was in.

"The country is now materially abundant, to an unprecedented level."

The elegant middle-aged man said: "Due to the widespread use of nanorobots and artificial intelligence, people's material needs have been greatly met on the basis of cheapness."

The widespread use of nanorobots makes any production process extremely easy and low-cost.

So now all the basic material needs in the country are free.

Basic needs such as food, clothing, housing and transportation are all free.

Because the cost is too low.

For example, to build a house, you can use local materials, such as soil. With the movement of nanorobots, you can build a luxurious and bright villa in one day - the decoration will be neatly arranged for you.

That is to say, because of the abundance of material goods, the cost of living has been reduced to a level that was unimaginable two or three years ago.

The abundance of material things does not mean that people will start to lie down.

But with higher pursuits.

In the past, people were busy with work, and their ideals and hobbies were drowned in the heavy labor; so that only rich people were qualified to pursue higher things.

Now, everyone has the time and energy to enjoy higher pursuits.

Of course, this drastic social change has also brought many problems, but we should not be afraid of problems, and we should find ways to solve them.

"The country has proposed a five-year starry sky plan."

"Nowadays, many children dream of becoming spaceship construction engineers or spaceship pilots."

Jiang Shan was very happy and felt comfortable after hearing this.

It is true that this time, with the help of pressure from aliens, society was forced to change; some small countries were destroyed, many countries suffered terribly, and countless people became poor and died as a result.

But Jiang Shan did not regret it.

The transition of civilization always brings pain. Perhaps, this is the pain. It is better for others to feel pain than for yourself, isn't it?

We chatted for a while about the changes in the country, and then got down to business.

The elegant middle-aged man said, "We have read the relevant content of the Machine Soul Project, and everyone is surprised. If this project is implemented and rolled out on a large scale, will it lead to some uncontrollable troubles?"

Jiang Shan laughed after hearing this and said, "I can't say I'm worrying too much, but I think I'm overthinking about the so-called uncontrollable troubles."

"I know what that means."

"Giving a machine soul to a technological creation is like giving life to a dead object. But it is only an equivalent, not real life."

"People used to have concerns about AI. They were afraid that AI would rebel like in the movies. Now AI has been fully applied to all aspects of society. Has there been any problem? No."

Jiang Shan said: "We create something, we are the creators. If the creators are suppressed by the creation, it is not the problem of the creation, but our own problem - this shows that we have not made any progress!"

"The creation will always lag behind, because we are always making progress. As long as we make progress, the creation will always be the creation. If we are worried about the counter-pressure from the creation and limit the development of technology, how can we make progress? That is extremely stupid."

Then he said, "Machine Soul, for example, the universal machine soul I envisioned, it continues the idea of ​​the giant intelligent robot project I proposed before - the combination of humans and objects. Generally speaking, humans still control objects. Artificial intelligence serves as its daily overall control, but the highest authority is always human control."

"Of course, the details here still require the convening of relevant professionals to develop a complete control system. I will not participate in this."

The elegant middle-aged man listened and nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense."

Jiang Shan said: "According to my speculation, we will soon reach a technological level that surpasses that of Earth and step into the starry sky. Some old things and concepts must be changed to adapt to this."

He said: "The Machine Soul Project will start with the Giant God Soldier as a pilot project. Let's see how much this project can improve the Giant God Soldier. Based on this pilot project, we can make corresponding adjustments in technology and policies. I believe that the benefits of the Machine Soul Project outweigh the disadvantages."

The elegant middle-aged man nodded and said, "When I came here, I said that Mr. Jiang's project must be approved because it benefits the country and the people. Now that I have heard what Mr. Jiang said, of course I have no objection."

Said: "We will fully cooperate with this project."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Jiang Shan nodded: "As for the details, Shen Man and Shao Liwen will still contact and discuss on my behalf. I have some ideas that I need to devote my energy to researching."

After a pause, he said, "After two years, I think everyone must have figured out the true nature of the aliens."

When the elegant middle-aged man heard this, he thought that the next ideas Jiang Shan was talking about were to completely get rid of the aliens.

He couldn't help but say, "Anyone with a discerning eye can already tell the true strength of the aliens. It seems that the alien civilization on the other side of the space wormhole only has biotechnology in their technology tree. To put it more concretely, their military system is a biological weapons system."

"For such a long time, it has been nothing but monsters, without showing any other means."

Jiang Shan nodded: "Wars between civilizations should not be a joke. Therefore, the technology tree of this alien civilization is most likely wrong."

It has been two years, and the situation has been going on for a long time. If there were more powerful means, they would have been revealed long ago. What is the point of this situation? Is this just a joke?

Of course, only Jiang Shan and the current China dare to say this.

Other countries are suffering, but they have no right to speak.

Jiang Shan said: "At this point, there are roughly two options for dealing with aliens."

"The conservative solution is to find a way to close the space wormhole." Jiang Shan said: "I have already had an idea in this regard. If I think about it carefully, I should be able to come up with the technology to close the space wormhole."

The elegant middle-aged man immediately showed joy after hearing this.

Even though he is very cunning, he can't help but be happy if he can deal with the aliens once and for all.

He said, "If we can close the alien space wormhole, then we can attack or defend no matter what. There are only benefits and no disadvantages."

Jiang Shan smiled and said, "It's just a little too conservative."

He said, "As for the more radical option, it is a counterattack. Once the Giant God Soldier has a machine soul, the impact of spatial fluctuations will be reduced to a minimum. At that time, we can just kill the invaders directly. There is no need to explain how great the benefits are."
