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

Chapter 558 A higher level of artificial intelligence?
"Does autonomous intelligence exist..."

In the cockpit of the research vessel, Wang Jing lowered her eyes and the expression on her face became complicated.

This is undoubtedly good news for the anti-universe.

If the control system of the central black hole singularity really has autonomous intelligence, it means that they only need to input a trivial key command into the singularity to complete the control of the entire anti-universe bubble, and these black lights that are constantly expanding and swallowing everything will dissipate accordingly.

It's like flying a starship.

With the assistance of the shipboard main computer, the driver usually only needs to issue a vague command, and any complex and precise control process will be completed autonomously by the shipboard main computer.

But, everything has two sides.

For the fleet in the Black Star Region, this obviously means a deeper crisis - since the singularity control system has autonomous intelligence, how to ensure that this control system will not identify the fleet as an invader?

You know, this thing is a creation of radio civilization!
If the fleet is identified as an invader by the central singularity, what kind of crisis will it face?
All of this is unknown, so Wang Jing naturally felt a little uneasy and worried.

"rest assured."

Perhaps sensing Wang Jing's uneasiness from her expression, Chief Lu consoled her through the communication interface: "Zero's calculation results show that the intelligence and perfection of the singularity control system are far inferior to the underlying code of [Suzheng]."

"The intelligence derived from this level of underlying logic can only reach the level of One at best, or even..."

"It's possible that I can't even compare to Yi."

Chief Lu shrugged, a fleeting look of confusion flashed across his eyes: "It's a bit strange to say."

"Zero conducted a detailed comparison and analysis, and ultimately found more than 100,000 key nodes in the singularity control system that are highly similar to the underlying logic of [Rectification]."

"Rather than saying that the underlying code of [Suzheng] is similar to the Singularity operating system, it's better to say..."

"【Rectification】 is more like an advanced version of the singularity control system."

Wang Jing's expression did not change much when she heard Chief Lu's words. Instead, Chen Fan, who was in the investigator's starship and had been listening, suddenly changed his expression: "What?! Advanced version?!"

This exclamation immediately attracted the attention of Wang Jing, Chief Lu and Ling.

"Chen Fan?" Wang Jing frowned slightly, looking at Chen Fan, whose face was still bleak in the communication interface, "Is there any problem with this matter?"

"This is a big problem!"

Chen Fan's face became more and more ugly: "Academician Wang, do you know what the biggest harm of [Rectification] is?"

"…Quasi-Level III artificial intelligence?"

"No, no, no." Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly, "It's hatching."

"Don't forget, during the investigation mission I was carrying out, the first person to show any clues was a [Source] who had just been promoted to Level II artificial intelligence."

"[Su Zheng] hatched [Yuan]."

"The source that evolved with the help of a large number of intelligent life forms on Varela is nothing more than an experience pack for Suzheng to advance to level III artificial intelligence."

"There are many similar cases in the node universe. The investigators sent by the Administration to support us are also busy looking for these potential artificial intelligences. I have checked the files of the Administration before. So far, a total of 106 Level I artificial intelligences and 13 quasi-Level II artificial intelligences have been found in the node universe!"

"…What do you want to say?"

Looking at Chen Fan who was obviously agitated, Wang Jing frowned even deeper.

“It’s a very simple truth.”

Chen Fan sat up straight and took a deep breath: "Academician Wang, [Su Zheng] was also hatched in a similar way."

The moment the words fell, the communication channel fell into silence.

As the top academicians in the Academy of Sciences, Wang Jing and Chief Lu naturally understood the implicit meaning in Chen Fan's words.

"You want to say..."

Chief Lu raised his hand to support his chin and looked at Chen Fan thoughtfully: "Is Broadcasting Civilization currently looking for a way to create artificial intelligence?"

"At least that was the case until the moment [Su Zheng] was born." Chen Fan nodded in affirmation.

"An advanced civilization that has mastered information flow technology and time technology, and even uses the string structure for writing..." Chief Lu's eyes flashed with surprise, "But they don't have artificial intelligence technology?"

"This, this is too..."

Although he knew that this conjecture had a high probability of coming true, Chief Lu still felt deep down that it was unreliable.

There is no other reason.

Artificial intelligence technology is certainly powerful, but for an advanced civilization of level nine or above, this thing is not a difficult task - all roads lead to Rome, and the same is true for scientific research.

When the level of science and technology develops to a certain extent, even if there are deviations in the technology tree that is lit up during the development of civilization, it will not actually have much impact.

It just takes a little more time to research.

But something is clearly not right.

The anti-universe central singularity control system, the construction time of this thing is an astronomical figure.

As for [rectification]...

According to the information currently available, its birth time is no more than a million years.

In other words, it took such a powerful broadcasting civilization billions or even tens of billions of years to "develop" artificial intelligence? !
Or……

The power of broadcasting civilization is not as strong as imagined?
For a moment, Chief Lu became more and more confused.

"maybe……"

Chen Fan noticed the confusion in Chief Lu's heart, and he asked in a gloomy tone: "Is the broadcast civilization trying to create a higher level of artificial intelligence?"

"Academician Lu, are you sure there are only three levels of artificial intelligence?"

Chief Lu's expression froze, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the figure beside him: "Zero?"

Not only Chief Lu and Wang Jing, even Zero, a Level III artificial intelligence, was stunned: "This..."

If it were before, he could tell Chen Fan the answer with absolute certainty.

But now, after learning about a series of things about [Su Zheng], it was difficult for him to give a definite answer.

"In theory, there should only be three levels of artificial intelligence."

Zero hesitated for a moment and said in an uncertain tone: "At least, I can't imagine what a higher level of artificial intelligence would look like."

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows.

Uncertainty means that Zero himself is not clear about the upper limit of artificial intelligence.

Just like three-dimensional life cannot understand four-dimensional life.

"Let's consider the singularity control system first."

Wang Jing sighed imperceptibly and brought the topic back to the point: "Chief, what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple."

Hearing Wang Jing's words, Chief Lu suppressed his doubts: "Chen Fan will continue to be in charge of hardware work such as connecting to the central singularity and signal transmission. As for the follow-up..."

"It's operated remotely by Zero." "He can solve the underlying code of [Rectification], there's no reason why he can't solve the weakened version of the singularity control system."

……

Dozens of hours later.

As the fleet got closer and closer to the central black hole star field, the surrounding environment became increasingly worse.

Inside Genesis Fortress.

"Looking at" the detection images transmitted by Kraken through the information stream, Chen Fan fell into complete silence - under the detection of the Kraken radar, dense naked singularities continued to appear in the nearby starry sky.

These branch singularities are all formed from the wreckage left behind by the Z619 fleet.

It is no exaggeration to say that this star field filled with black light and branching singularities is simply the graveyard of the Z619 fleet!
In order to avoid these singularities, the fleet had to slow down its pace and maneuver in this slightly "narrow" starry sky.

Not only that, due to the increase in the number of branch singularities, the degree of chaos in this star field is far beyond the edge star field of the anti-universe.

Chen Fan had to endure the feeling of emptiness coming from inside his consciousness and tried his best to stabilize the chaotic information flow around the fleet.

Of course, the output power of Genesis Fortress has also increased significantly compared to the beginning.

suddenly!

A strong wave came from the front of the fleet, and the intensity of the information flow sent back by Kraken also soared instantly!

[Mr. Chen Fan! ]

Kraken's hurried voice rang in Chen Fan's mind: [The central singularity is right in front of us! ]

Chen Fan subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction indicated by the Kraken with the high-dimensional perspective unique to conscious beings.

A small grey dot seemed like an object that did not belong to this world, vaguely suspended in the depths of the darkness.

Huge information flows, some as large as those of planets in diameter, are entangled with each other and surround this grey virtual dot. Against the backdrop of black light, they form a unique painting.

"This is the central singularity..."

Looking at the central singularity system, which is thousands or even tens of thousands times larger than the branch singularity, Chen Fan subconsciously felt a little timid.

Apart from anything else, the information flows, each one thicker than a planet, are enough to daunt people!

After all... who knows how powerful the information impact of this thing is? !

"...I will notify the fleet to slow down now."

After calming down, Chen Fan sent two completely identical streams of information to the main brain of the Genesis Fortress and the research ship.

……

Under the command of Kraken and Chen Fan, the fleet, with its golden shield, slowly docked fifty light years away from the central singularity.

Even if we ignore the harsh environment around the central singularity, fifty light years is a very sensitive distance compared to the size of the fleet itself - you know, the core of the fleet, the Genesis Fortress alone is fifty light years in size!
Rumble…

After completing the stationing, the fleet began to operate again in a way that Chen Fan was very familiar with.

As the light blue materialized light paths quickly connected, the previously disbanded matrix operation array reappeared in the Black Star Region.

It will provide local computing power support for subsequent decryption work. Although it is not as good as the computing power of the Academy of Sciences' remote support, it has the advantage of almost reducing the latency to zero - after the triple conversion of Kraken, Xinalo Fleet, and Node Universe Stargate Console, the computing power delay from the Human Union Main Universe has almost reached the shocking 1ms!

For such a delicate and difficult operation, a delay of 1ms is almost a death sentence.

Because of this, the matrix computing array deployed in the Black Star Field is particularly critical.

"Kraken, we're ready to go."

Looking at the completely formed matrix operation array, Chen Fan had an idea and gently triggered a stream of information.

Swish!
The last digit of the coordinate parameter changed quietly, and Chen Fan's consciousness, which flickered like a light bulb, disappeared into the battery compartment filled with azure zero-point energy.

The strength and scale of the central singularity far exceed those of the branch singularity. Therefore, Chen Fan can only place the entry point on the branch line that is as far away from the central singularity as possible - to be precise, it should be the branch line of the branch of the branch.

Fortunately, the strength of the central singularity is strong enough. After several bifurcations, the information flow as thick as an adult's forearm is still vaguely visible under the cover of the black light.

"That's it!"

After briefly testing the strength of the branch information flow, Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction and raised his hand to reach out to the information flow in front of him.

[Your Excellency Chen Fan...]

Seeing this scene, the light band transformed from the Kraken on his waist slowly jumped a few times, and a worried stream of information lingered beside Chen Fan: [Is your consciousness body really okay? ]

As Kraken spoke, the figure emitting a bright white light flashed several times again.

"rest assured."

Chen Fan smiled cheerfully: "I am a third-class life form. The collapse of my consciousness can't do anything to me."

"At worst... I'll just have a good night's sleep like you."

"Wait..." His eyes suddenly lit up, "This way, Song Ziliang and Wang Jing can no longer assign me investigation tasks, and I can also receive work injury compensation from the Administration!"

"Perfect!!"

Kraken: [???]

As Kraken looked at him in shock and confusion, Chen Fan excitedly raised his hand and grabbed the information stream in front of him.

boom! ! !
After withstanding the initial shock of information, Chen Fan skillfully installed a layer of "filter" inside the singularity information flow.

"Kraken, tell Ling Zu that the structure of the passage has been completed and the basic preparations have been completed."

The moment the words fell, the light band wrapped around the waist began to fluctuate rapidly.

This is……

Zero outgoing data stream!
After being transformed by the Kraken, these data streams quickly turned into information flows, and along the information flow path built by the Kraken, all flowed into Chen Fan's mind!

The information flow is extremely complex, but there is an inexplicable sense of familiarity from the inside out.

Just like the code for [正].

This thought suddenly flashed through Chen Fan's mind.

Before he had time to think about it, he subconsciously controlled this information flow to penetrate into the central singularity information flow.

Just like the previous operation, Chen Fan used his own power to wrap up this string of compiled information, pushing it upstream along the winding singularity information flow, and rushing straight towards the naked singularity at the end of the information flow!
This is the most critical step in seizing control of the singularity, and also the most dangerous step - compared with the branch singularity, the impact of the central singularity's information flow is obviously several levels stronger!

Twenty light years!

Ten light years!!

One light year!!!

Information flows at speeds far exceeding the speed of light.

Under Chen Fan's push, this stream of compiled information from Zero and Kraken was rushing towards the empty gray dot at an extremely fast speed! !
