The world enters the age of myth

The light blue nutrient solution in the water pipe flows to various rooms in all directions.

"What is this?" Lu Yiming was confused and did not dare to touch these robots.

After all, there are indeed not many robots that can still work along the way. There may only be thirty or fifty robots in total, and each one is a treasure.

Slowly groping down along the corridor, on the 22nd floor, people saw rows of computer rooms, as well as a hundred or so slowly squirming red creatures!

This red creature looks very strange. They are not that big in size, with a diameter of more than one meter. They are twisted into a ball like a brain and soaked in nutrient solution.

The petri dish is surrounded by wires and looks like a brain in a vat.

In other words, the culture fluid poured by those robots is all the culture fluid of these red organisms.

"What is this... some biological experiment of Akala civilization?" Lu Yiming swallowed and looked at these guys.

These red creatures are not aggressive and have no ether value fluctuations. I don’t know what they are.

The surrounding scientists did not dare to act rashly. After all, these guys were living creatures.

Just when everyone was about to leave the room and head to the next destination, suddenly, a large screen to the west lit up.

Perhaps because it had not been maintained for a long time, the large screen flickered several times before the voltage gradually stabilized.

Lu Yiming immediately became wary.

I saw a line of Xia Wenming's text displayed on the screen. Since the City of Clouds has conducted in-depth research on Xia Wenming, the relevant translation came out immediately.

"Hello, alien human civilizations, I am the artificial intelligence 'Crimson 0712'. This is the world of Akala, Industrial Production Base No. 0712..."

"I understand, these red creatures are biological computers! It's actually biotechnology, it's incredible!"

A professor quickly reacted and whispered: "Only a biological computer can work for hundreds of thousands of years in the current environment. As long as there is enough nutrient solution, the biological computer can continuously repair itself." …”

"Great, we found artificial intelligence."

Moreover, this artificial intelligence looks relatively friendly and can be communicated with.

Lu Yiming took a deep breath, put on Xia Wenming's proprietary translation helmet, and said cautiously: "Hello, Crimson 0712, can you understand our language? Do you have self-awareness? Do you have wisdom? "

"Hello human civilization, I have no real self-awareness, but I can understand conventional logical language. My main purpose here is to wait for the arrival of the next human civilization."

Artificial Intelligence Crimson 0712 displays a large number of characters on the screen.

"This is also one of the core settings of my original main civilization, Akala Civilization."

"You mean, you're waiting for us?"

"I'm just waiting for the arrival of a human civilization. It doesn't have to be you, as long as it is a human civilization. Behind this world, there is an extremely vicious abyssal world community, because the abyssal community is constantly approaching us. The cosmic community must build a strong enough fulcrum around the world to slow down the degradation of our cosmic community..."

"If your civilization is willing to continue to build a fulcrum around the world, we currently have 11,982 C-level artificial intelligences and 32 B-level artificial intelligences that are willing to serve your civilization."

Artificial Intelligence Crimson No. 0712 typed a long string of words densely.

Everyone's eyes widened, their hearts beat wildly, and they gasped for breath.

What is this...? !

Lu Yiming asked again: "What will happen if we don't build this world-wide fulcrum?"

The artificial intelligence explained calmly: "If the construction of the Ring World Fulcrum project fails, more parallel worlds will have vicious disasters at a faster rate. There are currently 173,842 fulcrums that have been built, and the number of unfinished Ring World Fulcrums cannot yet be counted. .”

"If the Ring World Fulcrum Project is completed, this universe community will no longer be affected by the idealistic disaster."

"The current progress of the project is 33.9%. Our task here is to restart the entire project."

There was silence in the room for a while. Each of the 170,000 world-circling fulcrums may be at the level of a planetary fortress.

But even so, only slightly more than one-third of the entire project was completed.

This cosmic-level disaster is truly beyond human imagination.

"The planetary fortress next door to us is the fulcrum of the world? Well, it is the unfinished planetary fortress of Akala civilization."

"Yes."

Less than 20% of the planetary fortress controlled by the City of Clouds has been built. There is one more and one less. Compared with the huge amount of work of the Ring World Fulcrum, there seems to be no big difference...

But it is definitely wrong to think this way. If every civilization thinks this way, then this super project consisting of hundreds of thousands of planetary fortresses will definitely not be completed.

The tree that embraces each other is born from the smallest grain of wood; the nine-story platform begins from tired soil; a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Everyone knows this truth, but compared with the huge difficulties before them, everyone feels numb.

Is this what interstellar civilization needs to consider?

After a long time, another professor asked: "Are you Xia Wenming's artificial intelligence?"

"We were created by the Xia Civilization and once belonged to the Akala Civilization. We are currently in a state of ownerlessness. Our main mission is to delay the degradation of our human universe community. If your civilization is willing to participate in the construction of the Ring World Fulcrum, we are willing to join Your civilization, help you become a part of the interstellar civilization.”

"Each C-level artificial intelligence is equivalent to the productivity of 112,000 elites; each B-level civilization is equivalent to the productivity of 6.1 million people."

"Are there many other interstellar civilizations in the universe community?"

"The database is missing and cannot be answered at the moment."

Lu Yiming smiled bitterly, interstellar civilization is not that easy.

Add a lot of "well-intentioned" artificial intelligence, even if you have a sudden increase in productivity, so what? Didn’t the Akala civilization fall quickly like this?

Productivity is not the most important. As long as machines are continuously developed, it can be improved exponentially. Human spiritual will is more important. No matter how productive you are, it will be useless if your will is corrupted.

Someone else asked: "Are you controlling those robots outside?"

The artificial intelligence replied at a very fast speed: "Yes, since the Akala civilization experienced a passivation crisis and encountered the invasion of abyss monsters, we have entered a standby state, maintaining a minimum maintenance state, and waiting for the arrival of the next civilization. Limited by Due to permission issues, artificial intelligence only has limited decision-making capabilities and cannot fight against the large number of supernatural life forms from the abyss."

Well, if the massive monsters on the planet were caused by another cosmic community, then there would be a corresponding explanation.

“How to avoid passivation crisis?”

The term passivation crisis should be the so-called technological trap...

"Contacting artificial intelligence [Crimson 033]... please wait."

After a while, it seemed that another artificial intelligence came online and answered the corresponding questions.

This artificial intelligence has a higher level of intelligence and its language style appears more humane.

"Dear human civilization, hello, I am Crimson No. 011. [Passivation Crisis] refers to the spontaneous laziness of human populations in extremely high productivity environments. According to current statistics, it has reached the threshold stage of interstellar civilization. , due to excess productivity, there will be more than 99% probability of encountering a passivation crisis."

"The current solution with a high success rate is [overall thinking modification]. Xia Wenming once captured some supernatural life forms that can perform thought tampering. After transformation, they can effectively modify the overall way of thinking of human civilization."

"Of course, the consequences of this are unpredictable, so you have to think carefully."

"The corresponding instruments for thought tampering are placed in large shelter No. 011. It is located at your current location, 3512 kilometers away."

Lu Yiming's eyes widened and his mouth felt dry.

Thought tampering!

What kind of ability is it to be able to rewrite thoughts, and it makes people feel deeply shuddering. No one wants a concept in their mind to be rewritten inexplicably, or even not knowing about it after the rewriting.

This incredible ability is too powerful!

Including the soldiers following him, as well as many experts, they were all swallowing their saliva.

This ability is really terrifying, and it can easily create a dictator.

As if sensing the reaction of the humans here, Artificial Intelligence No. 011 added: "The concept of thought rewriting may be more complicated than you think. It involves culture, ideology, social trends of thought, and also involves the fundamental values ​​of mankind. You You can instantly change your mind into a certain animal, and you can also change your civilization into a superhuman being."

"You can create a new desire out of thin air. To better explain, I can give you 10 seconds to experience the corresponding rewrite plan."

"Okay, you can give it a try." Lu Yiming didn't think this artificial intelligence was too malicious. After all, these things are the legacy of Xia Wenming.

If it was really malicious, there would be no need to explain so much.

At this moment, everyone had an inexplicable and weird desire.

This desire was so strong, as if there were huge dangers in all directions, that several professors who were not very strong-willed began to look for a safe place with their whole bodies trembling.

Even Lu Yiming felt a very strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

This room was too empty, and he desperately wanted to find a place to hide, even if there were no enemies around.

The 10 seconds passed quickly, and the uneasiness began to slowly disappear. Several professors who were squatting on the ground stood up embarrassedly.

The AI ​​explained: “What you have just experienced is a modified thinking template of fear of the wilderness that, simply put, may be similar to the way rats think, and they don’t like open places.”

"This kind of thinking template can greatly enhance the survival probability of human beings in extremely harsh environments. It is a complex human behavior pattern, but it is not the behavior pattern required by interstellar civilization."

"Your civilization is at the threshold stage of interstellar civilization. If you want to get rid of the passivation crisis, you must modify the human thinking model to a certain extent. Since the cultural background of each civilization is different, in order not to reduce the development potential of your civilization, we have not A unified template provides reference. There are only some corresponding fragmented thinking patterns.”
