With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 162 42 Second Signal

1750 12 Month 16 Day.

At this time, [Yuan] has taken over almost all the tedious and complex industrial production tasks.

But this is not the limit of [Source].

In order to better liberate the performance of [Source], some researchers have proposed the concept of omnics.

To put it simply, everything from small trash cans on the roadside to large heavy-duty industrial and agricultural production equipment can be connected to [Source]’s control system to create a utopian world that operates spontaneously!
No one needs to worry about livelihood, because the productivity level at this time far exceeds everyone's basic material needs.

This sounds like a good plan, but I firmly voted against it.

the reason is simple.

The resources on this planet are limited. If we cannot leave this planet, this approach will drain the last bit of potential of this planet, and we will completely perish in this utopian cage.

With this in mind, I began to make a call to the academic community - to restart the deep space exploration project and continue to find a way to leave this planet with the help of the power of [Source].

Maybe it’s because I’m older, or maybe it’s because the Haian Deep Space Observatory is too quiet. I seem to regard [Yuan] as a person and subconsciously want to talk to her.

Gradually, the Haian Deep Space Observatory returned to its original tranquility - it once again became an isolated island in civilization.

She can even do better than humans at handling some specific problems.

All answers are based on existing databases.

I could talk to her about anything, including rocket-building problems.

……

There will always be some uncritical loopholes in the logic of [Source]. The most important thing is that it cannot think completely independently.

I have to admit that [Source], which uses the global network as its database, has quite complete language processing capabilities.

Academics have completely given up on deep space exploration projects.

This is a bad habit.

By the time I realized this, I was completely used to this kind of life.

1751 4 Month 18 Day.

The huge productivity of general artificial intelligence [source] can help us complete the research work of the past decades in a very short time!
But... no one paid attention to my call. Everyone’s eyes were on promoting the development of artificial intelligence.

……

In a sense, this is a very lucky thing, at least I can still tell the difference between her and humans.

Chen Fan looked at the notebook in his hand with a strange expression.

But in my opinion, this level is enough - at least now she is still running within the behavioral framework we set for her.

If he read correctly...

But some researchers are not satisfied. They believe that [Source] at this time is still not a true artificial intelligence, and at best it can only be regarded as a large information collection and processing program.

Based on a complete database, [Source] can often give a sharp answer. Although this answer may be wrong, she can still bring me a little more or less inspiration.

I tried to get rid of this habit, but failed several times - the longest I persisted was 10 minutes and 3 seconds.

This webmaster seems to have a special affection for [Source]?
Is this another form of mechanosexuality?

“This is also a hazard of artificial intelligence.”

Sensing Chen Fan's thoughts, an electronic synthesized voice came from his ears: "Compared with intelligent creatures, artificial intelligence is often more perfect."

"According to statistics, a considerable number of intelligent creatures will have special emotions towards artificial intelligence."

"There is a simple way to avoid this situation."

Chen Fan asked: "What?"

"Let artificial intelligence no longer be perfect, or in other words, make artificial intelligence less human-like."

Chen Fan laughed subconsciously.

When I first started studying artificial intelligence, I tried my best to make artificial intelligence more human-like.

When artificial intelligence is developed, we will have to work hard to make it less human-like.

Isn't this a fucking joke? !

Gradually, Chen Fan, who realized a phenomenon belatedly, put away the smile on his face: "So, your voice..."

"good."

“The People’s Federation’s approach to this is to start with the voice of artificial intelligence.”

Yi frankly admitted: "Electronic synthesized sounds can allow intelligent creatures to clearly feel the difference between artificial intelligence and living organisms, and naturally avoid this situation to a great extent."

"In the People's Federation, all Level I artificial intelligence speaks in standard electronically synthesized voices. This is a rule written into the underlying logic."

"Any individual or civilization that attempts to use technical means to change the underlying rules will face the most wanted order from the People's Federation."

Chen Fan swallowed and looked down at the notebook in his hand again.

……

1751 6 Month 4 Day.

incredible!

At 3:11 in the morning, the radio telescope array, which had been silent for decades, sounded the first alarm!
It received a string of unknown signals from the depths of the universe!
Frequency: 1420 MHz; number of repetitions: 42 times; single signal duration: 42 seconds. Judging from the regularity and frequency of the signal, this is definitely a signal sent by advanced intelligent life forms - 1420 MHz is the frequency of the 21cm spectral line emitted by neutral hydrogen atoms. As the most abundant and common element in the universe, The characteristics of hydrogen atoms must be of concern to advanced civilizations. In addition, 1420 MHz is also a relatively quiet frequency band in the universe.

This is the most significant discovery since the establishment of the Haian Deep Space Observatory!
No, even counting from the birth of mankind, this can be regarded as the most important discovery!
I was so excited at the time that I couldn't wait to import this signal into the computer, and tried to analyze the specific meaning of this signal from various angles.

There is no doubt that I failed.

Without a codebook, it would be even harder to analyze the meaning contained in a 42-second signal!

I tried to seek help from colleagues in academia, but after the last incident, no one was willing to pay attention to my speech - everyone thought I was a madman immersed in the deep space observation project.

……

1751 6 Month 14 Day.

This signal tortured me for ten days.

During these ten days, whenever I closed my eyes, this 42-second signal would automatically appear in my mind.

Not only that, the vague whispering sound became more and more obvious, as if someone was talking in my ear...

My psychiatrist told me to take this situation seriously. He even asked me to stop studying this ethereal signal!
Damn it, that's impossible! Absolutely impossible! !

If there is any way to get humans off this damn planet, I can only think of that unknown advanced civilization!

To be able to send such a distant signal, their technological level definitely exceeds ours! !

Perhaps because my physical condition was so bad, [Source] asked me again if I needed help.

I don’t know what my psychology was, but in my confusion, I said a sentence that may affect the entire civilization:

"[Source], can you help me analyze that 42-second signal?"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I regretted them.

Isn’t it embarrassing to ask an artificial intelligence that cannot think independently to do this kind of work?

But the moment the order was issued, [Source] had already imported this unknown signal into her core processor and started corresponding analysis work.

After waiting for a few seconds, the figure of [Source] suddenly disappeared from the screen. At the same time, the network of the observation station was also paralyzed.

It's quite funny in retrospect. I didn't realize the seriousness of this matter at all at the time. There was only one thought left in my mind - if [Source] disappears, who should I talk to in the future?
[Source] disappeared for half an hour, and the global network was also paralyzed for half an hour.

When she reappeared, I quickly asked her what had happened in the past half hour.

I remember the conversation clearly:
"[Yuan], are you okay?"

A soft female voice sounded in the crowded second underground floor: "No, there was just a logic error in the core processor, which has been repaired."

When I heard this answer, my heart skipped a beat.

I subconsciously thought of the unknown signal coming from the depths of the universe.

Although I knew that doing so was risky, I couldn't help my curiosity and asked [Source] a second question: "Did you analyze anything about the signal just now?"

"..."

Faced with this question, [Yuan] fell into an extremely rare silence that lasted for tens of seconds.

Just when I was worried that there would be another logical error, the soft female voice came again: "Sorry, I tried all the code books, but I can't analyze the specific meaning of this signal."

Just when I breathed a sigh of relief, [Source] once again expressed his apology to me.

"Feel sorry."

This has never happened before.

But at that time, I was focused on that unknown signal and was not aware of the [source] problem.

……

"……what?"

Chen Fan rubbed his eyes hard, he couldn't believe the words he saw.

He finally straightened out the relationship between [Source] and the broadcasting civilization. Even the Loka civilization was still an unknown mystery. How could this create a brand new force for him?

What the fuck...

Is it necessary for a first-level civilization that has not left its home planet to provoke so many advanced civilizations?
"found it."

An electronic synthesized voice rang in my ears: "This unit has found the signal that was received by the radio telescope."

"Trying to analyze..."

Chen Fan's expression suddenly changed.

"and many more!"

He hurriedly interrupted Yi's analysis: "Are you sure there won't be any problems like [Yuan]?"

Judging from the current situation, if Kazuya rebels like [Source], then he can be prepared to restart on the spot.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool like [Yuan]."

Yi confidently answered: "What's more, this machine is connected to the Internet."

"If something goes wrong, this machine has real-time cloud archives, and you can restore the system with one click."

Chen Fan: "...?"
