Giabglio opened the drawer, took out a small black box the size of a palm, and slapped it on the desk with a "slap".
"No, this is the Artificial Consciousness Sea, but I prefer to call it the Artificial Consciousness Sea - beta version." The fifth-year student said generously with a "please take a look" gesture.
"Does this mean there will be an official version in the future..." Lu Li asked politely, "Can I pick it up and take a look?"
"You see."
Jiabulio took a mouthful of instant noodles and said incomprehensively, "You are the boss, and you have given me the funds to research this thing. Logically speaking, you can use this thing however you want, even if It doesn’t matter if you take it and sell it.”
"What about your thesis defense?" Lu Li held the small black box in his hands and observed it carefully.
"Hum, there's still half a year until this year's graduation defense. I'll do a better one then." Jabrio said with a nonchalant look on his face.
Lu Li stopped talking and turned his attention completely to the little black box.
This epoch-making artificial sea of consciousness has an unusually low-key appearance. From the outside, it looks like a small, square box. It is dark and smooth, with a narrow slit at the bottom, which is exactly the same thickness as a star card.
Obviously, this is the card slot where the star card is placed.
Following this thought, Lu Li took out a first-level star card [Flash Technique] from the card bag and stuffed it in gently, making the star card and the artificial sea of consciousness merge into one.
"You put the first-order star card, right?" Jabrio chewed the instant noodles in his mouth.
Lu Li's speed in setting up the card was not very fast. Although the fifth senior student did not see clearly what star card it was, he could still see the approximate number of star symbols on it.
Following the manual broadcasting procedures, Lu Li turned the black box over and looked at the light source in the sky carefully.
Only then did he see clearly that on the other side of the card slot, there was a shallow circular groove that could just fit the belly of the thumb.
The star power is like a trickle, sinking into the artificial sea of consciousness along the fingers, and then disappears.
However, after waiting quietly for three seconds, there was no change in the black box. Lu Li placed the artificial consciousness sea in front of Jabrio and asked doubtfully: "Why is there no response? You just gave me a squib?"
"Six, seven..."
What Lu Li responded to was not an explanation, but a muttered report.
"What the hell?" Lu Li didn't react for a moment.
In his confused eyes, the fifth-year senior picked up the instant noodles, ran into the bathroom on the side of the room in one big stride, and closed the door in a hurry.
"ten."
There was a vague report from the bathroom.
The next moment, a burst of bright light burst out from the black box, blinding Lu Li's eyes.
"puff."
With everything in front of him being bright, Lu Li heard a sound like farting, and then a burning smell penetrated his nose.
"Huo, this smell..."
Jabrio opened the bathroom door and took a deep breath, as if feeling the star power remaining in the air: "The flashing technique you used."
"Why is there a delay in using this thing of yours?" Lu Li rubbed his eyes vigorously.
At this time, he finally understood that Jabrio was counting the numbers earlier!
By the time Lu Li's vision returned to normal, the black box on the table was smoking, and there was a pool of charred black on the surface, giving the impression that the machine was over-operated and burned out.
"Is this... overloaded?" This word suddenly popped into Lu Li's mind.
"Yes, the first flaw of the artificial sea of consciousness is that it can only be used once." The fifth-year senior put the instant noodles on the table and introduced with a smile, "After the effect is successfully activated, whether it is the artificial sea of consciousness itself, Or the star card, it will be destroyed directly."
Giabglio picked up the broken black box, shook it vigorously, and poured out a star card from inside.
The circuit on the card surface has been completely damaged and become a mess, and the star power fixed inside by the circuit has completely dissipated.
It was total damage, not even possible to repair.
"Then the second question is, is there a delay in activating the star card?" Lu Li asked.
"right."
Jiab Liao held a fork of instant noodles in his mouth and thought for a moment and said: "Maybe during the process of making the artificial sea of consciousness, I connected some wrong lines, which caused the ten-second cooling time to go from the back to the front.
Of course, it is also possible that the Consciousness Sea and Star Card were directly damaged, so it became cool down first and then activated.
There is another possibility, that is, these ten seconds are not the cooling time... I really don't know the specific reason. "
At the end of the story, the fifth-year senior decided not to explain, which left Lu Li speechless.
The phenomenon mentioned by the fifth-year senior often appears in the work of programmers.
——An error occurred while the program was running, but I didn’t know where the error was.
Everything is the same as the black box principle. You can only observe the initial conditions before entering the black box, and the final result coming out of the black box. The intermediate process is not known at all.
This is quite consistent with the appearance of the artificial consciousness sea.
"Are there any other flaws?" Lu Li's gaze shifted from the Artificial Consciousness Sea to the fifth-year senior.
“There are many.” Jiab Liao sighed softly, “Currently, artificial consciousness sea can only use level 1-3 star cards. After all, the conditions for using them are relatively simple, as long as a certain amount of star power is injected.
But if you want to use high-level star cards, you also need to use energy storage. I am completely confused about the principle of this thing, let alone the external card to realize it. "
Since the advent of the first star card, this technology has developed for hundreds of years, but it is still full of mysteries and contains many unknowns.
There is a saying that has been circulating among star card masters: "Humans can use star cards, but they have not fully studied star cards."
"It's pretty good to be able to use the third-level star card." Lu Li said.
"There are other questions, I haven't finished them yet."
Giabglio continued: "Depending on the energy level of the star card used, the overload degree of the black box is also different. For example, if you use a first-level star card, the black box may just smoke, but at the second-level star card, maybe it will It will crack directly, and if it reaches the third level, it will probably explode."
"What the hell could it be?" Lu Li was a little embarrassed.
"Well..." Jabrio pondered for a moment, "Because I haven't tried it yet, and I'm afraid that the laboratory will explode and the data will be lost."
"All right."
Lu Li thought for a while and pointed out a key question: "The artificial sea of consciousness you made can only be used by Star Card Masters, right?"
"Have no idea."
The fifth-year senior put down the instant noodles fork and looked at the ceiling with a bit of melancholy: "The thing I invented is like an orphan, it came out without any friends. The socket that can flow out the first-order star power has not been invented yet."
There are too many problems in allowing ordinary people to use first-level star cards across levels. The advent of the artificial sea of consciousness is just a small step among them.
