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

Chapter 215 Cyberworm

Seeing Ling's look of sudden realization, Chen Fan suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

——Just now, Zero was the tachyon broadcasting tower discovered under similar circumstances.

A bad thought quickly flashed through Chen Fan's mind: Could it be that the Loka civilization had left him another mess?

"I just looked through the mastermind database of the Dangerous Technology Administration." Just as Chen Fan was thinking wildly, Ling explained in a gentle voice, "The unknown civilization you just mentioned used a 42-second signal to give [ Source] Self-improvement ability, right?”

Seeing Chen Fan nod, the interest in Ling's eyes became more obvious: "It is not an easy task to give a level I artificial intelligence the ability to improve itself."

"Currently, the other party should have quite in-depth research on artificial intelligence."

"Not to mention level III artificial intelligence, the other party has at least mastered perfect level II artificial intelligence technology."

Chen Fan nodded silently, this was an event he expected.

"It's just..." Ling's voice paused slightly, "I don't understand why the other party wants to broadcast this core technology wantonly."

"Normally speaking, this core technology of artificial intelligence should be the top priority of a civilization."

"Will you spread your core technology throughout the universe?"

Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly.

Are you kidding? Core technology should be the trump card against other civilizations. How can you publicize your trump card all over the universe?

Can what is advertised all over the universe still be called a trump card?

Again.

What serious civilization would just sit around and shout in the universe?
Can someone who is shouting all over the universe be a serious civilization?

Scumbag!

"It seems..." Zero's eyes showed a thoughtful look, "Maybe we have to find the reason in that signal."

"To be precise, we are looking for the reason in the underlying artificial intelligence code derived from that signal."

As soon as he finished speaking, a slender materialized light appeared again from the data interface of the main console in front of Chen Fan, and was accurately connected to the secondary intelligent terminal.

"Wait a moment, let me check the underlying code of [source]."

Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but have a rather strange association in his mind.

exist? Look at the underlying code?

If you put it into a human perspective...

It should be a scientific geek wearing a white research robe holding a craniotomy saw and saying with a smile: "Here?" Look at your brain?

Chen Fan shuddered suddenly, and his eyes towards Ling became strange.

After capturing the fleeting thoughts in Chen Fan's mind through the smart terminal data, Zero also fell into silence.

He couldn't help but sigh again:

This official investigator... is really interesting.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Zero's attention was absorbed by [Source]'s messy underlying code.

Yes, disorganized.

From Zero's perspective, the underlying code of [Source] is very confusing, as if two completely unrelated things were forcibly pieced together.

"This... is as ridiculous as a sow growing on a tree."

Zero sighed in a low voice: "It's a coincidence that such low-level code can still run normally..."

"What a strange phenomenon."

Chen Fan: "???"

Although he didn't know what the code looked like in Zero's eyes, and he couldn't imagine how confusing and absurd the so-called sow-growing-on-a-tree code was, he still noticed one thing:
Zero's interest seemed to rise.

……

Examining the underlying code of a Level II AI is a rather tedious task.

Especially when the underlying code of this Level II artificial intelligence is two "shit mountains" pieced together, the retrieval work becomes extremely difficult.

Zero not only has to smooth out the basic logic of the two "Shit Mountains", but also figure out why these two "Shit Mountains" can operate normally——

A shit mountain that can operate normally is not unusual. Two shit mountains that are stacked and nested together and can operate normally can only be regarded as rare. But if these two shit mountains can give birth to a level II artificial intelligence...

This is enough to be called a spectacle.

More than ten minutes later.

The materialized light path on the main console's data transmission port slowly dissipated, and Zero's expression also revealed a bit of complexity.

"I understand……"

Zero shook his head with some regret: "[Yuan] is not really a Level II artificial intelligence."

Upon hearing this, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on Chen Fan's face.

Not really a Level II artificial intelligence?

How to explain [Yuan]’s self-improvement ability? [Source] How did you get around the underlying restrictions in the prosperous era?
Countless confusions arose in Chen Fan's mind.

"There is some foreign intrusion code in the underlying logic of [Source]." Zero didn't show off and quickly explained, "This should be the mutation caused by the string of 42-second signals."

"The way it operates...is a bit like a virus, but different from it."

"This part of the foreign code forms a quite unique relationship with the inherent code of [the source]."

Zero pondered for a moment, seeming to consider the wording: "By the way, it's a bit like the symbiotic and parasitic relationship in nature."

Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly.

To put it simply, a symbiotic relationship is a close and mutually beneficial relationship between two different organisms. The two are mutually dependent and dependent on each other.

Once the two parties are separated, both parties or one of them will not be able to survive normally.

Parasitism is slightly different. Two organisms live together, one benefits and the other suffers. The latter provides nutrients and a place to live to the former.

"It's not just living things." After noticing Chen Fan's thoughts, Zero quickly corrected him, "The broad scope of symbiosis and parasitism is quite large, and even a huge civilization may form these two special relationships. "

"The relationship between [Source] and that foreign code... is a bit complicated. It should be regarded as an intermediate state between parasitism and symbiosis."

Hearing this, Chen Fan's confusion deepened.

Parasitism and symbiosis can be said to be two completely opposite relationships. Can there be an intermediate state between the two?
"[Source]'s inherent program is still at the level of Level I artificial intelligence."

"But that piece of foreign code can give it the key ability of Level II artificial intelligence, which is the ability to improve itself."

"According to the standards of the People's Federation, [Yuan] can be regarded as a quasi-level II artificial intelligence from the moment he obtained this foreign code."

Chen Fan nodded repeatedly.

This is the same as a previous analysis and judgment.

The Hazardous Technology Administration also came to the same conclusion after analysis and research.

"But." Zero's voice paused slightly, "This self-improvement ability is a castrated version. It only gives [Source] the ability to modify the inherent underlying code."

"In other words, [the source] cannot change this foreign code."

"That's why I think she's not a true Level II artificial intelligence. She has a flaw."

Chen Fan suddenly realized: "So... [Yuan] needs to continuously collect human thinking models to improve his own inherent code, so that he can truly enter the category of Level II artificial intelligence?"

Zero's expression became even weirder: "It has a little relationship, but not much."

"I carefully analyzed the changing trends of [source]'s inherent code."

"In the process of improvement, the connection between these inherent codes and foreign codes gradually becomes closer."

"To put it simply, the so-called perfection is actually the process in which [source] and foreign code are constantly bound and adapted to each other."

"Until now, if the foreign code was completely stripped away, [the source]'s own inherent code would also collapse."

Chen Fan understood.

Today's [Source] was born on the basis of that foreign code. The moment that 42-second signal entered the [Source] database, [Source] changed.

What a method of seizing one’s body!
He shuddered slightly and continued to ask: "What about collecting human thinking models? What's going on?"

Zero was silent for a moment. He stared at the secondary smart terminal placed on the main console, his eyes filled with regret and regret:
"The mental model has indeed played a positive role in improving the inherent code of [source]."

"But in fact...the instructions for collecting human mental models are engraved in that foreign code."

"[Source] may not be aware of it herself, but her actions of collecting human thinking models are indeed driven by this foreign code."

“To this day, that foreign code is still driving [Source] to collect more mental models.”

By now, Chen Fan has roughly understood the intermediate relationship between parasitism and symbiosis that Zero mentioned before.

The so-called symbiosis is actually [Source] constantly searching for mental models for the string of foreign codes, and the foreign code gives [Source] the ability to evolve from Level I artificial intelligence to Level II artificial intelligence.

And the so-called parasitism...

At this stage of development, as long as the foreign code is stripped away, [Source] itself will collapse, which is the so-called death of the host.

"grass……"

Chen Fan cursed in a low voice.

What cybernematode?

Daqing's current [Source] is just a shell that only collects mental models, right? !

"Then what use are these human thinking models?" Chen Fan asked Zero in front of him solemnly, "The unknown civilization that sent out the 42-second signal...why did it collect these thinking models?"

Zero was silent for a moment, and finally slowly shook his head.

"I don't know about that."

"The information currently available is limited, and I cannot give you a precise answer, but my analysis results show that the purpose of these mental models should be related to artificial intelligence technology."

"By the way, there is another more important information." Zero looked at the secondary intelligent terminal on the main console with interest, "I have been checking the database of [Source], and so far I have not found anything related to tachyon broadcasting in it. Information about the tower."

After an extremely short reaction time, Chen Fan's expression suddenly changed!

The triggering condition for the tachyon broadcast signal is the loss of contact with the Loka Planet Fortress, and the signal characteristics are exactly the same as the electromagnetic wave signals sent by unknown civilizations hundreds of years ago...

Logically speaking, this should be [Yuan]'s back-up plan.

But there is no operation record related to it in the database of [source]!

Then the problem is coming.

That passively triggered tachyon broadcast signal...

Who set it up?
The countdown in the holographic projection ended quietly, and Zero Wen's voice came:

"The tachyon broadcast signal from the host star has been successfully sent."
