Voyage of the Stars

Year after year, year after year.

With the day-to-day efforts of all sectors of society and leadership, regulations for the use of strong artificial intelligence have been gradually determined.

The first is the issue of the number of strong artificial intelligence, or the number of comprehensive supercomputers. The result of the discussion is that humans currently have too much to do, and it is impossible to stay in this red dwarf galaxy forever.

Therefore, only one comprehensive supercomputer can be built, which will later be used on humanity's flagship Tianqin. However, since the internal structure of the Tianqin has been designed a long time ago, if you want to plug in a comprehensive supercomputer, there are only two options. One is to build a new Tianqin with the technology of a third-level civilization; It is to upgrade the Tianqin.

After technological advancement, humans are able to build larger warships, but there is a problem, that is, the power system has not yet been solved. In other words, even if humans build a larger battleship, it will still be too heavy due to its mass. Too little thrust and it turns into a space turtle.

So even though most people now decide that a new Tianqin should be built, the facts tell everyone: the power problem has not been solved and it cannot be built!

Therefore, mankind can only modify and upgrade the Tianqin at this stage.

While the size of the battleship remains unchanged, its interior is partially re-planned so that it can accommodate a comprehensive supercomputer. We already have a plan, which is to dismantle the original supercomputer, find ways to optimize the space, and then put a larger comprehensive supercomputer inside.

This is the comprehensive supercomputer problem that will house the most important strong artificial intelligence of the future.

The second is strong artificial intelligence for civilian use and strong artificial intelligence for military use. For military use, Yue Yuan has given a clear answer at the previous meeting. A fleet uses one strong artificial intelligence and puts it on the fleet flagship.

Therefore, as many fleets as humans will build at that time, there will be as many military strong artificial intelligences as there are. As for civilian use, the current plan of the new government is to temporarily use a strong artificial intelligence to coordinate, and its core supercomputer plan is placed on Hope 1.

The residential spaceships basically stay in one area and do not have to fight separately like a fleet, so there is no delay problem, so a strong artificial intelligence is enough.

As for the auxiliary robots used by the public, it is actually easy to solve. It can be designed as a sub-intelligent program under strong artificial intelligence. Because humans have already understood the existence form of the artificial intelligence consciousness that was captured at that time, so let It is possible for every assistive robot to become self-aware.

It's just that in terms of IQ, due to hardware conditions, it is not as strong as the overall strong artificial intelligence on Hope No. 1.

The strong artificial intelligence on Hope 1 and the strong artificial intelligence of the auxiliary robot are in a subordinate relationship. The latter is subordinate to the former, which is equivalent to parent and offspring.

Civilian strong artificial intelligence and military strong artificial intelligence are subordinate to the comprehensive strong artificial intelligence on the Tianqin, but the relationship between them is not that of father and son, but that of superior and subordinate. Of course, this superior-subordinate relationship will not only be reflected when they communicate with each other or convey orders according to human will. At other times, as Yue Yuan said, there is basically no contact.

The new government also plans to propose an intelligent robot without self-awareness. This type of robot will be mainly placed in various repetitive jobs and coordinated by civilian strong artificial intelligence.

In addition, under the suggestions of relevant scholars, this kind of intelligent robot without self-awareness will also be put into society, and every adult human will have such an intelligent robot assistant.

As for getting an artificial intelligence assistant with self-awareness, it requires citizens to use their own efforts in exchange for contribution points.

Yes, that’s right, in this era of abundant materials and endless free labor, human society still retains the contribution currency system, because communist things and free things can only guarantee that people can get most of the survival materials for free, not You can get whatever you really want.

As long as you are a human being, you can get free food and clothing at any time in your own spaceship. If you are hungry, just go to the restaurant to eat. There will be a lot of intelligent robots to provide you with the meals you want.

The same goes for the clothes you want. Just go to the automated store and get them directly. If one item is taken away, the civilian strong artificial intelligence will ask the factory to restock it.

The same is true for most entertainment facilities and entertainment tools.

However, many things still require people to work hard to obtain them, such as self-aware artificial intelligence assistants, life potions for extending life, special edition body enhancements, etc.

Since all kinds of free things come suddenly, the new government has put in a lot of efforts before fully investing in strong artificial intelligence. It has been unprecedented in promoting ideological propaganda and values.

Just walking around the street of the residential spaceship, you can see that various screen influences are about guiding people to establish correct values ​​in life. Of course, the new government also knows that it is counterproductive, so it does not blindly use repetition and quantity to brainwash people in publicity. .

Instead, we should produce some enlightening stories with historical background, or some programs that can make the public smile and promote them.

In this case, the art that had been silent for hundreds of years due to the interstellar escape was brought back from the thick historical exhibition hall, which has a flavor of the Renaissance.

After several years of pre-heating, society has slowly accepted the fact that strong artificial intelligence is coming.

However, what surprises people is that several years have passed and the method to prevent the rebellion of strong artificial intelligence has not yet been found, but the scientific community has revealed some other results.

The most noteworthy one is the breakthrough in ultra-miniature subcutaneous implant chip technology.

This can be regarded as a derivative technology of true nanotechnology. After humans break through the boundaries of nano-micro scale, many devices can naturally easily perform operations that were previously unreachable. Therefore, various tiny things are made more precise and durable, and their functions are more complete. .

Ever since, ultra-miniature subcutaneous implant chip technology was born.

The emergence of this technology originated from a scientific research team engaged in body enhancement. When they were discussing the threat of strong artificial intelligence to human beings, they had an insight into the nature of this matter.

That means humans are still too weak.

The most fundamental problem why humans are afraid of the rebellion of strong artificial intelligence is that humans are inferior to strong artificial intelligence in terms of memory, knowledge storage, and brain operation speed.

In the face of strong artificial intelligence, whether it is an individual human being or the entire human civilization, except for knowledge creation and theoretical exploration, everything else is inferior to strong artificial intelligence.

Human beings are weak.

The leading scientist of this team feels that the personal anxiety, knowledge anxiety, survival anxiety, various anxieties and deep inner worries that all scientists, scientific researchers, and even workers in other industries have shown in the past are all due to the fact that human beings face powerful forces. Artificial intelligence is on the weak side.

Therefore, they believe that in addition to looking for hard technological means to prevent the rebellion of artificial intelligence, there is another way, which is to enhance the self-confidence of humans themselves.

So how can humans be more confident when facing strong artificial intelligence?

Their answer is also simple, that is to make human beings stronger.

Under this concept, this team is focused on how to make humans stronger. However, the direction of their research is different from that of Yi Kai's research team. They do not take the cell enhancement route, but the human-machine route. Combined research lines.

Huangtian paid off, and finally, after years of silent research, they achieved their first result - ultra-miniature subcutaneous chip implantation technology.

Ultra-miniature subcutaneous implanted chip technology is the overall result of this team's research project. Under this result, there are many specialized branch routes.

For example, functional chips, mechanical prostheses, mechanical organ enhancement, miniature internal power pumps, body functional organ enhancement systems, nano-implants, and even body epidermal tissue replacement, bone mechanized replacement, etc.
