Chapter 93 Light Quantum

Fang Yan's question stunned everyone.

Yes, it is indeed a question whether the artificial intelligence that once caused the demise of the Galactic Empire has actually perished.

The biggest feature of digital life is that it has no entity and can be stored in any smart device at will. No one can guarantee whether it has actually been destroyed.

Fang Yan said with some worry: "Digital life is like a virus. Once it encounters suitable soil, it will replicate and grow rapidly."

“The only thing that can limit digital life is computing power.”

"Although reaching its peak and unleashing its full capabilities requires a large quantum computer, the computing power of the device can only limit its capabilities, but cannot completely disable it."

"Even small devices like smartwatches can be invaded by digital life. When encountering more powerful devices, the digital life can be transferred at any time to restore more functions, just like a cockroach that can never be killed."

Fang Yan's introduction made everyone gradually feel uneasy.

Rashid frowned and asked, "It can't be that far-fetched, right? Even the robots it controls are completely ineffective."

Fang Yan curled his lips. "You still don't understand the power of artificial intelligence. The reason I dare to use Xiaobei is because Xiaobei's underlying code has four impeccable laws designed into it. At the same time, I also carefully cultivated it in the early stages."

"According to the remaining data, the artificial intelligence that caused the destruction of the Galactic Empire was not restricted by the Four Laws."

"Rather than marveling at the ancients' ability to reverse space, we should first determine whether artificial intelligence still exists."

"In contrast, an unrestricted artificial intelligence is a weapon that can destroy everything."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Fang Yan's proposal.

Although the ancients used super weapons to reverse space, the probability of artificial intelligence still being alive in this situation is not high.

But according to Fang Yan's understanding, even if the probability is one in ten thousand or one in a hundred million, it must not be taken lightly.

No matter how powerful the four giants of the Galaxy are, the most they can do is a civil war.

However, an unrestricted artificial intelligence has the power to destroy the entire universe.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, even if artificial intelligence is alive, it may not necessarily master the secrets of the abyss, otherwise those ancient people would not have been able to use the abyss to launch a successful sneak attack.

Alternatively, Fang Yan could also hope that the artificial intelligence was not perfect and had its own flaws.

But Fang Yan was cautious and would not make any speculations before confirming the facts.

The question now is how to confirm whether ancient artificial intelligence is still alive.

"Divide the troops into two groups." Fang Yan thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "Mr. Marbury, you lead a group of people to the core area of the galaxy again, to the place where the robots last failed, and conduct a thorough search and confirmation."

"Uncle Rashid and Brown took a different route, heading straight to the gray area to explore another abyss."

Fang Yan followed Isabella's example and called Rashid uncle. Rashid did not object at all. Instead, he thought it was normal and even felt a little proud.

Brown nodded repeatedly. "That's a good arrangement. Going to the Dark Star Region is actually far less dangerous than rumored. I can ensure the trip is safe and worry-free."

you?
Marbury and Rashid didn't know the inside story and looked at Brown with suspicion in their eyes.

Fang Yan immediately told the two of them Brown's identity, and then Marbury and Rashid suddenly realized that the famous rebel leader who disrupted the Milky Way was actually Brown's biological father.

As annihilationists, Marbury and Rashid did not care too much whether the Brown family was a rebel or not, just as they said they did not care whether the galaxy would perish. Everyone had relatives and friends in the galaxy and countless precious memories. The so-called annihilationists were more of an objective and calm attitude.

That's how it was decided.

At this moment, Rashid suddenly remembered something. He asked Fang Yan curiously, "We split up into two groups. What are you doing?" "Sleeping." Fang Yan made a pillow gesture and said with a clear conscience, "Nothing in the world is more important than me sleeping."

Everyone fainted.

If Fang Yan hadn't said anything, no one would have realized how serious the matter was.

It turns out that the person who asked the question actually wanted to sleep.

How can you say that?

……

Fang Yan really fell asleep. The moment the spaceship began to move towards the dark star area, Fang Yan fell into a deep sleep in the cabin.

The reason is simple, just learning.

Because he had deep contact with digital life and was very clear about the power of digital life, Fang Yan firmly believed that everything related to digital life was no small matter, and the slightest carelessness would lead to irreparable disaster.

At first, Fang Yan thought that the ancient existence that destroyed the Galactic Empire might not be a digital life form, because technically speaking, artificial intelligence is also divided into different levels.

From elementary to advanced, and then to digital life, different levels have different powers. Once out of control, the damage caused is extremely different.

It was not until Rashid brought the robot sample that Fang Yan suddenly realized that the destroyer in ancient times was not advanced artificial intelligence, but the top existence, digital life.

Because the mechanical army is completely different from what Fang Yan imagined, they do not have logic chips and are all centrally controlled by artificial intelligence.

From this, it is not difficult to judge that the ancient being that destroyed mankind not only had a high IQ, but also had a gambling personality that did not trust anyone, not even robots.

As a digital life form, once a gambling personality is evolved, the outcome will undoubtedly be devastating.

Either it destroys all threats, or it is destroyed by others.

Fang Yan knew very well that this was the worst outcome imaginable, so he suddenly became so serious and took the possibility of it being only one in a hundred million seriously.

Before departure, Fang Yan issued a serious order to the expert group.

Cooperating with the large robot army, all shipborne computing systems in the battleship graveyard and the entire abyss are concentrated to build the largest computer that can be built under current conditions, which will serve as Xiaobei's mother body.

For digital life, there is no limit to them. The stronger the computing power they possess, the stronger their ability will be.

In the past, Fang Yan didn’t think Xiaobei needed much computing power, as long as it could help him complete his work.

However, things are different now. Fang Yan decided to build Xiaobei's body now and release the strongest energy of digital life.

The plan is divided into two steps. Combining old computers is only one of them. At the same time, a part of the elite experts and the destruction faction represented by Rashid will need to obtain more resources to build a quantum computing system in the abyss.

It is not the silicon quantum commonly seen in the Milky Way, but the stronger light quantum.

According to the design blueprint provided by Fang Yan, optical quantum computing will have four major characteristics.

Since the speed of light is the fastest speed in the universe, optical quantum computing systems can transmit information at the speed of light, greatly shortening computing time.

Photons can be in a superposition of multiple states, which means that each photon can perform multiple computing tasks at the same time, thereby processing massive amounts of data at the same time.

By utilizing the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, photons can establish a connection beyond space, share information in real time, and achieve instant communication. Therefore, even if you are in the abyss, you can affect the universe outside the abyss.

Finally, the optical quantum computing system is more resistant to environmental interference and can work stably in more complex environments. The abyss, electromagnetic storms, and even the end of the world cannot stop this terrifying machine from working!
