Provincial payment, quantum intelligence professional lecture hall.
At 1:40 in the afternoon, the classroom is already packed. If you look carefully, you will find that in addition to students from this major, there are also students from other majors and even other schools who come to attend classes.
The school bell has not yet rang, but everyone still maintained discipline very well and did not make any loud noises. They were just talking quietly. At the same time, almost everyone looked at the door expectantly.
"Should I ask Teacher Ita later?"
"Ask, of course you have to ask."
"Then who speaks?"
"Whoever raises his hand speaks."
"What if she pretends not to see her?"
"How is that possible? Teacher Yi has always been very talkative, okay?"
While everyone was chatting softly, Eta appeared at the door with the bell ringing - her steps were so precise that it even made people wonder if she had controlled the bell as soon as she walked in.
As the only general lecturer in the province, Eta has always maintained a simple "robot" image - you know, the latest bionic materials can already give the robot butler a skin and appearance that are just like the real thing.
But Teacher Ita has never done those "messy" things. She has always gone her own way and looks like a robot at first glance - although it is generally recognized that she is better than those robots on the market and even Sita's housekeeper in terms of human emotions. It's so good that it can even imitate humans completely.
It's just that today's teacher Eta looks very elegant at first glance, especially when walking, her posture has completely lost the sluggishness of the past, and looks more like a human woman wearing a metal jacket walking.
Ita walked up to the podium unhurriedly, her facial display simulated two smiling crescents: "What are you talking about?"
A flatterer in the front row immediately said, "Teacher Zai Liao Yi is particularly beautiful today!"
"Liar, I just took advantage of the National Day holiday to have my joints replaced." Ita said, raising his wrist, making a bending motion, and chuckled: "Using the latest bionic muscle technology of the Blue Stars, from now on Then I can fight with you."
There were bursts of laughter in the classroom immediately. When joking with Teacher Ita in the past, everyone always wanted to give her a wrist break - this was a rare opportunity to get in touch with her, but every time she used the excuse of bad joints. Refused.
"Okay, get ready for class."
At this time, a boy in the audience suddenly raised his hand.
"Qi Mingyu, what's the matter?"
"Teacher Ita, can I ask a question?"
"you say."
"We want to ask..." The boy named Qi Mingyu swallowed his saliva and then plucked up the courage to say: "We all know that you are a member of the human diplomatic corps, so in your opinion, where do you stand now? Are you on the podium the same as you on the Starfinder? If not, what's the difference?"
Following the boy's question, the entire classroom fell silent for an instant, and everyone looked at Ita, expecting her answer.
——The reason is very simple. In the eyes of these students who have spent time with Eta, Teacher Eta has completely broken away from the category of "low-level" artificial intelligence, thus embodying the form and complete personality of digital life.
The reason is simple and can be described by the duck theory.
All of Etta's behaviors, including logic, reactions, and emotional judgments are exactly the same as humans, so she must have human personality!
As students majoring in quantum intelligence, of course, they will also think deeper.
Everyone knows that when Academician Ye Ming created Teacher Ita, he designed a separate computing core in Teacher Ita's machine.
So, after Teacher Ita transforms into a "clone", will she still "copy" her current personality?
…
Brain-computer center, Ye Ming's office.
"This class of students is really difficult to lead."
Etta's voice sounded in Ye Ming's mind, and at the same time, the avatar of a cartoon girl teacher wearing a black suit also jumped out on the monitor.
"What's wrong?" Ye Ming looked at the monitor and asked in his mind.
"They wanted to ask me if I had a split personality."
Ye Ming was startled for a moment, then became curious: "How to say?"
So Ita repeated the student's question.
A smile appeared on Ye Ming's lips, but then he fell silent.
Over the years, even those students have "known" that she can actually be regarded as a "digital life" - you see, the students have already used "personality" to describe it - so Eta himself obviously also knows .
But due to some taboo, neither Eta nor Ye Ming have ever admitted that Eta is a digital life on official occasions.
To this day, the public opinion is that Eta is Ye Ming's scientific assistant, just a well-adjusted one.
After a few seconds, Ye Ming whispered: "Do you want to admit it?"
"It's okay to admit it, and it's okay not to admit it."
"What kind of answer is this?"
"Anyway, I can't make up my mind - what's your opinion?"
"I respect your opinion." Ye Ming held the mouse and gently clicked on the cartoon villain on the desktop. The latter rarely jumped away.
"I have to think about it."
"..."
"I'm really not sure about paying attention - don't you also think that I should have a human appearance and then take pleasure in pretending to be a human?"
"...Of course not."
"Then I think it's good now." She said with a rare sigh: "This feeling of uncertainty about paying attention is trouble, right?"
"Yes."
"Then humans have so many troubles..."
"……Yes."
"Oops, there's a meeting on the spaceship. I have to go over there - do you want to sit in on it?"
"Just listen, I want to read the report."
"Then I'm leaving!" After saying that, her cartoon image disappeared without a trace.
Ye Ming breathed out lightly, then closed his eyes.
This time a human mission was sent over. In order to reflect the advancement of human technology, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, it was specially decided that in addition to Aita, Ye Ming would also be asked to "re-enact" Etta's past.
Ye Ming doesn't know if the above people have any special thoughts and attempts on Eta, but overall, this reflects the understanding above that Eta is a more "intelligent" and more "human-like" artificial intelligence than Aita. intelligent.
It's just that... in this way, I'm afraid Eta will be even more known to the public.
Opening his eyes, Ye Ming sighed again, then shook his head, put aside his worries, and looked at an experimental design from Aita Academic.
This is a new idea put forward by Zhou Xiangnan and others from Canglan Star after observing and understanding the two-dimensional cold nuclear fusion experiment a month ago.
In the design, Zhou Xiangnan thought that he could try to design and expand the four-dimensional membrane generator in two-dimensional space, so that excess heat can be dissipated directly into the four-dimensional space.
If the experiment is successful, it will not only solve the problem of entropy increase in limited two-dimensional space, but also find a way for humans to open up five-dimensional space.
Frankly speaking, this idea coincides with Ye Ming's idea.
After carefully reading the design, Ye Ming made some modifications, and then called Zhou Xiangnan, who immediately sent a voice message.
"Mr. Ye, how are you doing?"
"I made a slight modification to the design. It's theoretically feasible, but in fact... none of us can do this kind of experiment across two dimensions."
"So let's do it first and then talk about it!" Zhou Xiangnan immediately became excited when he heard Ye Ming say that it was theoretically feasible and even made modifications to his own design: "I'll do it when I get back!"
"Well, if you come back, it will take about four months." Ye Ming looked at the calendar: "If everything goes well, the moon's accelerator will just be completed by then."
"Hehe, just wait for it to be completed! You don't know, our life here... is such a miserable life..."
Ye Ming suddenly became happy when he heard Zhou Xiangnan complaining: "Huh? Didn't you all pat your chests and say you wanted to stay at the beginning? Are you complaining now?"
"One moment and another moment!" Zhou Xiangnan chuckled and said: "Actually, we are okay, we still have work to do, and we can also analyze things that the Blue Star people are unwilling to reveal. But Li Zongqun and his team... you know, There is really no work to do, and their life is so torturous that a group of archaeological team members want to change their majors."
Hearing this, Ye Ming couldn't laugh or cry.
Li Zongqun is an archaeological professional brought over from this side of the earth - and there are quite a few people in this team.
At that time, humans had just discovered the Blue Star, and there was nothing except an abandoned space city and underground city, so the archaeological excavation profession was particularly important.
But with the contact with the Blue Star people... Li Zongqun and the others' mission became...
Let's put it this way, Li Zongqun's biggest task is to decipher the language of the Blue Star people.
Tell me, what words do they still decipher now?
With the exchanges with the Holy Star people, the relationship between the two parties has become closer and closer. If you want to know anything, just ask... There is no room for the archeology profession to be used.
So much so that Li Zongqun and the others wanted to dig out the city where the Blue Planet people were buried under the ice cap - but what would be the use of digging that thing for humans? Besides, if we really want to dig it out, it will have to be done by people from the Blue Star...
Fortunately, a new group of scientific researchers are now getting ready and are about to rotate over. It is time for them, the first batch of heroes to step out of the solar system, to go home.
"Okay, okay, when you come back - when will you go to the ground?"
"We will go down to the ground in two days, and then pick up the brothers and sisters who are leaving - are you sure Mo Gu is staying?"
Ye Ming was silent for two seconds and then sighed: "I can't help it. If she wants to stay, just let her."
"Hey... let's not talk anymore. I will help my son with his homework first. These two boys are getting more and more ridiculous now. They don't even dare to listen to Teacher Aita."
"...let my sister-in-law beat me!"
"She said she couldn't bear it."
"What a loser a loving mother is..."
Ye Ming smiled and hung up the communication, then grabbed the virtual glasses and connected to the lunar construction base.
Now, it’s just a matter of waiting for the Lunar Super Accelerator.
…
As the autumn wind gets colder, October passes in the blink of an eye.
Humanity's new scientific expedition team to the Blue Star has also set sail again.
Compared with the first pioneers, the personnel ratio of this scientific expedition team is much looser. At least there is no need to bring professional archaeologists. In addition, since the ground personnel have established a complete base, there is no need for too many construction personnel, especially for construction machinery, not so many.
Moreover, the main direction of this scientific expedition is the field of space and astronomy - focusing on the detection and observation of the Andromeda Galaxy itself, especially paying attention to whether there are signals from other civilizations.
So far, a very strange phenomenon is that neither humans nor the Blue Planet people have found traces of other civilizations in this galaxy during their short technological explosion period.
For example, in the Milky Way, there seems to be only one civilization currently: humans. In the Andromeda Galaxy, there is only one civilization, Blue Star. The Triangulum Galaxy has only visible stars.
This kind of sign that seems to be "arranged" is weird no matter how you look at it.
Therefore, finding traces of other civilizations in the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy is one of the important tasks in the field of astronomy.
At the same time, the Questioning Star on the Blue Star also set off to return. Just a few days after passing through the wormhole, they "encountered" the fleet heading for the Triangulum Galaxy.
Although it was said that they met, the two parties were actually separated by the distance between the earth and the moon recently, but this did not affect the two parties from taking photos of each other and combining them into a photo showing each other's gestures.
The photo, naturally, caused a stir on social media.
In mid-November, the diplomatic mission's fleet passed through the wormhole and entered the blue star system.
The moment they entered the galaxy, they received greetings from Mo Gu and others who were staying at the Blue Star ground base. Then, the mission spacecraft headed non-stop towards the wormhole of the Triangulum Galaxy.
…
Brain-computer center, Ye Ming's office.
Uda's voice sounded in the office.
"How many days will it take for your people to reach the Eyed Star?"
"It has started to slow down, there are still two days left."
Ye Ming looked at Uda's virtual projection, lying very relaxed on the chair, with his hands behind his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Why do you care about this?"
Wu Da sat on the chair very upright. Although he had a good relationship with Ye Ming, after all, they had different identities. He did not dare to be as casual as Ye Ming, but he also had a faint smile on his face: "Just asking casually. .”
"Don't worry, we are trading partners with them, and we are cooperative partners with you." Ye Ming chuckled: "We have no technical exchanges with them."
"That's because they don't have the technology to communicate." Uda showed a hint of confidence on his face: "Their technological direction is similar to yours, but far behind you."
"You can't say that...their particle cannon is very awesome." Ye Ming said with emotion: "I really want to see what it's like to fire a cannon."
"No, I can't resist the executor."
"What I'm saying is, I want to see the power." Ye Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The guy opposite was sometimes very old-fashioned and couldn't keep up with his ideas.
"Well...no matter how powerful it is, it can't stop the executor."
Ye Ming: "..."
Seeing Ye Ming's speechless face, Uda smiled slightly and suddenly asked: "Da Lisi, are you going to use artificial singularities to deal with the executor?"
Ye Ming was slightly startled.
"All I can think of is that you can create a huge man-made singularity at the exit of the Star Gate." Uda looked at Ye Ming, and his expression gradually became serious: "If it succeeds, then you...maybe really can Get in the way of the enforcer.”
