Superbase Evolution

Chapter 389 Solving the problem
"We still need to get the life base of the Red Flame Star Explosion Dragon. How do you plan to deal with her?" Ouyang Yudu said.

"The living are naturally more valuable than the dead, so take her with you. Don't worry, she can't escape with me here." Lin Shen knew what Ouyang Yudu meant, and said after thinking for a while.

No matter what, the fire on Freira must be obtained first, and this can only be done above the sea of fire.

Once back at the camp, a person like Freira must be handed over to the gods to deal with, and it is impossible for Lin Shen to take her away.

Neither Ouyang Yudu nor Wei Wufu said anything. The person was captured by Lin Shen, and neither of them had any objection to how he wanted to deal with him.

Lin Shen felt uncomfortable carrying Fleura by himself, so he summoned a dragon, put her on its back, and let the dragon carry her.

The injured fallen seraph had already turned into particles and returned to Flora's body. As long as she was not dead, the life base could not be free and could only return to her body.

Unfortunately, after Freyra's acupuncture points were pressed, the power in her body could no longer circulate, and she could no longer summon her life force.

Lin Shen and Wei Wufu followed Ouyang Yu to look for the Red Flame Star Explosion Dragon. Lin Shen thought in his heart that they must not find it so quickly. It would be better to look for more days. At least give him one night to restore the fire in Freya's body first.

Ouyang Yudu took the two of them to Fire Rock Island first, where the Red Flame Star Explosion Dragon most often appeared. However, when they arrived at the place, they did not find any trace of the Red Flame Star Explosion Dragon.

"Should we wait here for the Red Flame Star Explosion Dragon to appear, or should we first go to other places where the Red Flame Star Explosion Dragon might appear?" Ouyang Yudu asked Lin Shen and Wei Wufu for their opinions.

"Wait here." Lin Shen was afraid that if he went to other places, he would find the Red Flame Star Explosion Dragon all of a sudden, which would be terrible, so he spoke before Wei Wufu could speak.

"That's fine. The Red Flame Star Explosion Dragon often appears here. We can wait for a while." Ouyang Yudu said as he landed on the Fire Rock Island.

The Volcano Island looks no different from the land, as it is made up of reddish-brown sand and rocks. However, Ouyang Yudu said that the sand and rocks here will not explode even if they collide, unlike the sandstone on land.

Lin Shen pinched a handful of soil and squeezed it, and sure enough, there was no explosion. If it was sand from the outside continent, it would have crackled like firecrackers when squeezed like this.

After lifting Fleura off the dragon's back and placing her on the sand next to a rock, Lin Shen sat down next to her: "I have to watch her. You can go and look around if you can."

"Wait..." Wei Wufu sat down beside him, showing no intention of going out for a walk.

Ouyang Yudu also sat down next to him: "This area is where the Red Flame Star Explosion Dragon roams. Other creatures dare not approach here. If you want to hunt ascended creatures, you have to go somewhere else."

Lin Shen was depressed. Although he usually liked to stay with these two guys, now that they stayed here, Lin Shen felt very uncomfortable.

It's like bringing a girl back to the dormitory, and then giving all kinds of hints to the guys in the dormitory, hoping that they can leave at a normal time, but the guys refuse to even go out.

"Forget it. When it gets dark later, I will sleep next to Fleura in the name of guarding her. It shouldn't be difficult to sleep back the fire." Lin Shen made a little calculation in his mind.

He didn't dare to say it directly because he was afraid that something might go wrong with Wei Wufu.

If Lin Shen wanted to kill Flora, Wei Wufu would not care, but if he wanted to sleep with Flora, Wei Wufu would definitely stop him.

Of course, Lin Shen didn’t really want to sleep with Fleura, but he couldn’t explain this to Wei Wufu. Things like fire couldn’t be explained at all.

It was getting late, and there were only two hours left before the sun set. Lin Shen could only wait patiently. With nothing else to do, Lin Shen couldn't help but think about the question the Thinker had asked.

How should we define being alive? Is the life of carbon-based organisms the same as the life of intelligent machines?

Just like a car, if it can still start and run, can we say it is alive?

But if defined in this way, the meaning of life is too broad.

"Is there any essential difference between humans and intelligent machines? Is learning ability the difference between the two? Obviously not." Lin Shen thought carefully.

Human learning, like that of intelligent machines, is actually a process of discovery and recording.

Humans have no way of imagining things that they have never seen or understood, such as the various gods and ghosts that humans have fabricated out of thin air.

It seems that they are all imagined out of thin air, but in fact, all the ghosts and monsters in myths and legends of all kinds are not imagined out of thin air. They are all just a patchwork of things that humans have seen.

For example, an angel has a human body with a pair of bird wings. A real dragon has features such as deer antlers, horse face, snake body, and fish tail.

Based on what Lin Shen knew and heard, he really couldn't imagine that there was any kind of god or monster that was purely imaginary and had no basis at all.

From this point of view, the so-called learning ability of humans is no different from that of intelligent machines, it is just copy and paste.

Lin Shen pondered this question not to prove that he was not an intelligent machine. It didn’t matter to him whether humans were intelligent machines or not.

Lin Shen felt that as long as he could live and feel everything in the present, it didn’t matter who he was.

The main reason why he kept thinking about this problem was that he thought of something very interesting.

If humans and intelligent machines are the same, then as long as we find the right method, we can directly transfer knowledge to our own storage, that is, the brain?

Ayun's Valkyrie's Protection seems to have such ability.

Lin Shen's memory is average, and his talent for practice is sometimes quite high, but sometimes not so good, which may be due to his partiality in subjects. If he could find a way to store knowledge directly into his brain, he wouldn't have to work so hard to learn those things.

Although the protection of the Valkyrie is also a way, it has too many restrictions, and it is impossible to let Ayun learn all the skills first.

"Let's consider ourselves as intelligent machines for now. Then, is evolution a process that can upgrade the system and then absorb external materials to upgrade our own configuration?"

"If that's the case, then this system might be man-made or created by something artificially. Just like what the Deep Thinker said, could it be a garbage program written by a jerk, and this program can actually be optimized?" Lin Shen pondered this question slowly.

"I practiced a wrong version of the Theory of Evolution before, and the effect was better than the original one. Later, Stepping on the Immortal Courtyard and Er Ba Quan were also modified and can be used normally. Does this mean that the system program in my body has been optimized because of the modification? If I can optimize my own system better, can I run various programs better? That is, the so-called talent is better..."
