When he came to his "former" office, Du Jin didn't feel anything familiar. Obviously, the original Du Jin was not very happy here. Looking at the mountains of information and copywriting still on the table, he said with some self-deprecation. :
"No wonder, 'I' will definitely not like living in such a pile of documents."
But for the sake of himself who was here before, Du Jin picked up a pen on the table. In this era, most information and documents are presented through holographic panels. This is not only efficient but also safe. As long as the information in the holographic panels is Encrypted, no one can steal the message. Even if the structure of the panel is destroyed, it can be restored through technical means.
But Du Jin placed this pen in the most conspicuous place on his desk. It is obvious that this pen has important meaning to its owner. It may be a family member or a friend, but all of this is Du Jin's. It’s unknown.
After confirming that there was nothing else worthy of his attention in the office, Du Jin left. There was only a living room left for resting. It is worth noting that the door of the living room was surrounded by a It is a small passage in some kind of suspended device, and the access control on the side seems to be the starter that controls some kind of mechanism.
"This place was previously classified as a restricted area by you. It is equipped with a separate suspension control system and security system. Except for your authority, it is impossible for even McCas to open it. If you say that you missed something, I think besides Apart from the fragments you just found, the rest must be here."
Du Jin nodded, he pressed his hand on the top of the access control panel, and then a lavender light curtain shot down from the top floor, covering Du Jin's body. After a few seconds, a prompt sounded to the two of them. In the ear:
"Authentication completed...
Welcome back, Doctor. "
Under the gazes of Du Jin and Li Mengyan, in the small corridor surrounded by some kind of suspension device, the original light blue floor began to disappear, and was replaced by pieces of alloy plates sliding out from one side, and then at both ends of the corridor. The door began to make a slightly harsh sound of pressure release.
"Was it vacuum inside before? It's directly connected to the outer space. What kind of trap is this? If someone breaks open the aisle door and enters by force, I'm afraid he will be sucked out directly. Even if he is wearing exoskeleton armor, this sudden pressure will crush him. Defeat the people in the armor, Du Jin, I'm afraid there are some secrets of yours hidden here, this security equipment is not easy to get."
Li Mengyan looked at the security facilities that were still operating in front of her. She said to Du Jin with some surprise and confusion. This security system seemed to have bypassed the air pressure stabilization system and gravity traction system of the spacecraft in some way. It is not common on a spaceship, and as Du Jin's status as scientific research director, it seems impossible to apply for this level of protection, not to mention that this is just a living room, a place for resting.
Although Du Jin didn't know what Li Mengyan was talking about specifically, he knew that the more valuable the treasure, the deeper it would be hidden, and there would be more advanced traps around it. Du Jin had a hunch that what he found here might be something special. It will be much worse than the fragment in the laboratory.
After almost a minute of pressure relief procedure, the door to the corridor finally opened. This time, out of curiosity, Li Mengyan followed Du Jin in. When the two of them entered the corridor, they felt a strong centrifugal force causing buoyancy. Du Jin and Li Mengyan's armored steps had magnetic energy fixation systems, which prevented them from floating directly into the air.
Space is a weightless and microgravity environment. Absolute zero gravity is impossible to achieve because gravity is the gravitational force between any two objects. But in deep space, far away from the gravitational pull of any satellite, planet or star, gravity is close to zero.
Generally speaking, when a spacecraft makes inertial motion in space orbit, the gravitational pull (gravity) of other celestial bodies on it is exactly offset by its centrifugal force. The gravity at its center of mass is zero, that is, zero gravity, and there is a weightless environment there. The environment on the spacecraft outside the center of mass is a microgravity environment, where the gravity is very low.
In weightless and microgravity environments, the convection phenomena in gases and liquids disappear, buoyancy disappears, component separation and sinking and floating phenomena caused by different densities disappear, the static pressure of the fluid disappears, and the liquid is only constrained by surface tension, wetting and capillary phenomena Intensify and so on. In short, it causes a series of unpredictable changes in physical properties of matter and provides an extreme physical condition.
In the present world, whether it is the Xia Kingdom where Du Jin is located, the beautiful country or the polar bear, a long-established technological power, even though it already has the technology of space stations and manned space navigation, there is nothing in the world in the field of artificial gravity or gravity. For practical methods, this is why astronauts cannot perform missions in space for long periods of time.
After all, in this weightless environment for a long time, humans will suffer from bone loss, increased intracranial pressure and visual damage, as well as headaches, muscle atrophy, digestive system disorders and cardiovascular dysfunction. Coupled with the existence of various radiations in space, this is why The reason why space colonization in this world seems so far away is that after all, it can’t even solve the problem of survival in space for dozens of people. How can it solve the problem of living for thousands of people in a colony?
In fact, the most incredible thing for Du Jin was that after experiencing the weightless environment here, he discovered how mature the artificial gravity technology in the "Eden" was. He couldn't feel any difference compared with the Blue Star. This is not to say that the current world has just started in this regard. In fact, with the current level of human technology, there is no problem in realizing an artificial gravity system. But the key is that too much money needs to be invested, and it is not necessary at this stage. After all, blue There are too many "internal conflicts" among the star countries, and they have no intention of caring about the issue of space colonization.
According to the "equivalence principle" proposed in 1911, in a sealed room flying at an acceleration of 9.8m/s², humans cannot tell whether they are on the earth or in space. In other words, as long as we keep the acceleration of the space station at 9.8m/s², the astronauts will feel almost the same as on the Blue Star. However, this method is not practical because the acceleration process itself requires a huge amount of energy. Fuel, the duration is too short. Modern scientists prefer to use a virtual force to simulate gravity, such as centrifugal force. In science fiction movies, we see that almost all spaceships that realize artificial gravity are disk-shaped. This is using centrifugal force to simulate gravity. Through simple mechanical analysis, an object maintains relative balance when it rotates with the disk. Because friction provides centripetal force.
But from the object itself, the object itself feels friction, so it needs to be offset by a force in the opposite direction. This is centrifugal force. In principle, as long as there is a large enough centrifugal force power system to produce rotation in space, We can use this centrifugal force to simulate the earth's gravity environment, but the problem is that this centrifugal force power system is too large. It needs to send parts to space in multiple batches and then assemble them. The economic cost will be astronomical. number. Under the current technical conditions and needs of mankind, there is no need to forcefully pursue an artificial gravity system, and the microgravity environment in the space station itself is crucial to some space experiments.
"There is still a long way to go to reach this point in this world!"
Du Jin didn't know what method the "Eden" used, but judging from the results, the software not only did it, but it was so impressive that Shuying and Du Jin could only sigh in her heart.
The corridor was not long, just a few meters. Then Du Jin opened the alloy door at the other end, and a room with a simple layout appeared in front of Du Jin. There were no luxurious decorations and no high-end furniture. Everything in the living room seemed It was very simple and simple. Li Mengyan looked at the room and said with slight surprise:
"Du Jin, I didn't expect you to be such an honest person. Even the resting place of the security team where I stayed before looked "richer" than this one. As far as I know, Du Jin, your previous position was a personal one. A good position to make money, I always thought you were like that, but now it seems that I really thought wrong, and it seems I need to apologize to you!"
Du Jin waved his hand in embarrassment. After all, this actually had nothing to do with him. He responded awkwardly:
"Uh...I just devoted myself to my work and didn't pay much attention to these aspects. Mengyan, don't be like this...Okay, we don't have much time, so we quickly looked around for someone. Find it!"
Li Mengyan looked at Du Jin who was walking away in a panic, and raised her hand to gently cover the smile at the corner of her mouth. In her opinion, the greenness on Du Jin's body looked very "cute" and very safe. This is why The reason why Li Mengyan trusts Du Jin is that if Du Jin is a calm-minded, smooth and mature person, then Li Mengyan will have to reconsider the relationship between the two. I am afraid that it will no longer be a friendship, but a pure use of the relationship.
Du Jin ignored Li Mengyan who was looking at him from behind, and began to patrol the room. The living room was not big, and Du Jin walked around in a few minutes. He felt more familiar here than in the office just now. Many, it seems that "I" have been here for a long time before, but judging from the superficial search results, I am afraid Du Jin will be disappointed. Except for some documents that look valuable, there are no other important things. And those documents were all work and experiment-related content that he couldn't see, and were of no use to him now.
"How could it be? The security measures in this room are so strict, it can't be all there is!"
Although he was not reconciled to not having gained anything, after all, the previous fragment had given him a big surprise, but as the saying goes "the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment", this gap still made Du Jin a little reluctant to give up. After pondering for a moment, he wanted to find some memories from his mind, but he didn't know if it was the influence of that fragment. Du Jin could vaguely recall some memory fragments from before this body. In his impression, "I" seemed to have often talked to someone in this room before, and often touched something on the low cabinet next to the bed.
Then Du Jin relied on his own impression and squatted down in front of the low cabinet to rummage around. As expected, Du Jin found a hidden button and put his finger on the button hidden under the side of the low cabinet. On the top of the cabinet, the metal button vibrated, and a hidden compartment popped out from under the table at the front of the low cabinet. Inside was an item similar to an electronic watch. Du Jin was stunned for a moment. It was hidden so deeply. There is only one watch placed in this place?
But in order to try his best in the exam, Du Jin still wore this watch with unknown functions and signals on his right wrist. After all, he wore a watch given to him by his parents on his left hand. This watch had an unknown origin and The electronic watch with unknown functions could only take second place, and when Du Jin fastened the buckle of the watch, he felt a numbness on his right wrist.
"Is this broken watch still leaking electricity?"
Before Du Jin could figure out the situation, the slight numbness was replaced by a strong tingling sensation, as if some needle-like object had pierced his skin.
"Ugh..."
Although Du Jin was not usually afraid of things like injections, it was not that pleasant to be suddenly pricked with an injection when he was unprepared. This made him let out a weak cry and walked to another room in the room. Li Mengyan, who was looking for her at the other end, immediately came over and asked Du Jin with concern:
"Du Jin, what's wrong? Did you find something?"
Du Jin nodded and pointed to the square dial on his right hand. Before Li Mengyan could help Du Jin check the structure of the watch, a ray of blue light shot out from the originally dark square dial and emerged in the air. A virtual figure about ten centimeters high. Before Du Jin could speak, the figure immediately made a sweet voice and said:
"Doctor, are you back? Xiao Ai has been waiting for you for 42 hours, 13 minutes and 24 seconds. I thought you were going to leave me here to think about it behind closed doors again."
"Ah this......"
Listening to this familiar figure in his memory, Du Jin looked at Li Mengyan at a loss. Li Mengyan looked at the confused expression on Du Jin's face, and shrugged and shook her head, indicating that she was not satisfied with this person called "Xiao Ai." The other person had no impression, so Du Jin could only ask:
"I'm...Oh! Your name is Xiao Ai, right? Where are you talking to me from now?"
"Where to call?"
The virtual portrait seemed to be "questioned" by Du Jin's words. She touched her chin humanely. Only then did Du Jin realize that the appearance of this portrait was no different from that of a little girl wearing a Greta skirt. Simply put, it looks like a lolita, and "Xiao Ai" only paused for a few seconds before replying:
"Xiao Ai, I am right here. The home you built for me, doctor, is right here. Xiao Ai has no other place to go."
Hearing this, Du Jin seemed to have some understanding. This Xiao Ai seemed to be some kind of program, the so-called "artificial intelligence", but what he didn't know was that this artificial intelligence seemed to be able to communicate with him. According to Turing, The concept of testing, this "Xiao Ai" is very intelligent.
"Sorry! I suffer from some kind of amnesia. I can't recall many of my previous memories, including you, "Xiao Ai"..."
"Hey?! Doctor, are you sick? You shouldn't be! I scanned you two days ago and found nothing abnormal? Doctor, do you need me to call the medical staff on the bed?"
Du Jin shook his head. There are no medical staff still working now. Even if someone really survives, it is impossible to come to treat him again. What's more, his amnesia is just an excuse. If the examination really reveals clues, it will be troublesome. , but Xiao Ai seemed to understand another meaning. She nodded her little head, then put her two little hands together and whispered towards Du Jin:
"Oh! Doctor, don't worry. You must have something to hide, but it doesn't matter. Xiao Ai won't leave you alone. As long as Doctor, you find an automated medical surgery platform for Xiao Ai, then Xiao Ai can help Doctor You have cured the disease, let alone amnesia, even if it is a serious brain injury, Xiao Ai can help the doctor solve it!"
The conversation between this "loli" in front of him made Du Jin feel no sense of procedure. It was completely like talking to a little girl with whom he had a good relationship. According to the Turing test standards in this world, this "Xiao Ai" It has surpassed most humans in communication.
The Turing test is a famous test to determine whether a machine can think. It tests whether a machine can show intelligence that is equivalent to or indistinguishable from humans. If a person (codename C) asks two objects he cannot see a series of questions using a language that all test subjects understand. The subjects are: one is a normal thinking person (codename B), and the other is a machine (codename A). If after several inquiries, C cannot draw a substantial difference to distinguish the difference between A and B, then this machine A passes the Turing test.
"Xiao Ai, can you directly control other machines or programs?"
Du Jin's focus was not on "Xiao Ai's" emotions, but on its abilities. When Xiao Ai heard Du Jin's inquiry, he seemed a little angry. He put his two little hands on his waist, He said with some anger and pride:
"The doctor is questioning my ability again. Let alone an automated medical platform. As long as the doctor connects me to the security system or control system on the ship, Xiao Ai can open and close any door. If it weren't for the doctor, you I have always asked Xiao Ai to lead here in compliance with the law, and I would have surprised you, Doctor, huh!"
Listening to Xiao Ai's somewhat temperamental tone, Du Jin fell into deep thought. If this Xiao Ai is an artificial intelligence, then its level is probably not low. Let's not say whether the ability it said is true. Just looking at this communication and emotion module, this Xiao Ai far surpasses any artificial intelligence in the world.
In the current definition, artificial intelligence, that is, AI, has a general classification:
Peak level - has achieved the best ability that cannot be surpassed
Super human level - stronger than all humans
Strongman Level - More capable than most humans
Weak Human - Weaker than most humans
Peak level. It refers to some application scenarios with complete rules and small strategy space, such as playing backgammon on a 19*19 chessboard. Today’s computer technology can exhaust all possible game situations and ensure that it can compete with humans in any game. The optimal solution can be achieved under any circumstances. Also in fields such as Tic-Tac-Toe (a simple tic-tac-toe game), checkers, and engineering applications such as data statistics, computers have reached the pinnacle level.
Superhuman level refers to the fact that in some specific application fields, such as fingerprint recognition, iris recognition and other fields, the technology is already very mature and has also achieved capabilities beyond human beings.
The strong human level refers to that some intellectual activities require in-depth field experience. There is still a gap in computer ability compared to a small number of professionals, but the ability is stronger than that of most ordinary people. In some specialized fields, such as in good conditions In fields such as face recognition (no bad occlusion, lighting, angle problems), good speech recognition (no special regional accents, complex environmental noise), and recognition of flower and plant species, computer capabilities have also reached a strong level. Human level.
The weak human level refers to the fact that there are many skills that are not difficult for most ordinary humans to master, such as driving a car. However, for computer systems, because the signals to be collected and the data analyzed are very complex, it is still difficult for ordinary humans to master them. level, at the weak human level.
Most of the artificial intelligence in the world is still in the range of weak humans or superhuman, and very few have reached the level of superhuman in a single field. However, this standard of distinguishing only by domain ability obviously cannot be applied to "small-scale artificial intelligence". The artificial intelligence "Ai" has been widely used. It is impossible for Du Jin to know in advance what he is saying to Xiao Ai at this moment, but Xiao Ai can not only communicate with him smoothly, but can even express emotions through tone of voice. Such artificial intelligence is obviously It was beyond Du Jin's knowledge.
Li Mengyan, who had been listening to the exchange between Du Jin and "Xiao Ai", looked at the vivid avatar and said with some surprise:
"Intermediate artificial intelligence? Or high-level artificial intelligence? Strange! The federal restrictions on this aspect have not been relaxed. Du Jin, how can you have a program with such a high intelligence level?"
After listening to Li Mengyan's words, Du Jin asked strangely:
"Is...is this very strange? Listening to your tone, Mengyan, there seems to be some story in it."
Li Mengyan looked at Du Jin's confused and confused expression. The doubts in her eyes disappeared for a moment. She nodded, squatted down to the same height as Du Jin, and then said in a solemn tone:
"There are indeed some things that are not worth remembering, and the origin of these is actually caused by those extremely intelligent programs."
