Chapter 1663 Son of Man (Fourth Update!)

Professor Mo Xuan's straightforwardness and sharpness received some applause from the college students of Tianhuan Academy, Xie Wufeng's home field.

Professor Mo Xuan pursued the victory: "If we really want to talk about 'self-awareness', adult chimpanzees have the intelligence comparable to five-year-old children, and at the same time have a certain degree of self-awareness, and dolphins are not far behind in this respect.

"So, instead of worrying about the spirit net becoming a spirit, you should worry about the possibility of chimpanzees and dolphins becoming spirits and competing with humans for the supremacy of the universe."

The audience laughed again, some applauded, and some cheered loudly.

Xie Wufeng remained expressionless, with a calm voice, without any interference from Professor Mo Xuan and the surrounding environment: "In the world of cultivation, it is indeed possible for chimpanzees and dolphins to turn into monsters, and in a sense to 'become spirits', but Even if chimpanzees and dolphins really become smart, we don't seem to have to worry about the possibility that they can seize the most powerful starship of mankind at once, and even the "star-level magic weapon" crystal brain that can destroy a star field."

"No, this possibility is very small!"

Professor Mo Xuan said: "Because the birth and development of life has its own laws, even if we assume that some kind of virtual life really exists, at the beginning of its birth, it must be extremely weak, tiny, and simple, just like the Like cells born in the primordial ocean.

"From cells to human civilization, it has gone through billions of years of development; from the initial 'digital life' to a truly awakened 'new virtual civilization' with self-awareness, without human intervention, even if shortened A hundred times the evolution time, it will take tens of millions of years! Tens of millions of years are too long, so long that there is no point in discussing and changing!"

Xie Wufeng said: "What if there is artificial intervention? It's like the Pangu civilization 'attracted' some ignorant apes, created human civilization, and was finally eaten back by human civilization? Don't you think that our current unified spiritual network, Including all the expansion packs of the "Civilization" game, is it some kind of artificial intervention, some kind of "attunement"? A large amount of real human life data is uploaded to the optical path, spiritual network and crystal brain, constantly colliding, stirring and merging , after all, something will be born after all!"

Professor Mo Xuan said: "That's the same sentence, even if some kind of virtual life with self-awareness is really born, you don't have to worry that he will control the entire spiritual network and all crystal brains at once like in the novel. This is just the fantasy of a liberal arts student who has no concept of Lingwang and Jingnao.

"It's like, Professor Xie, as a kind of 'physical life', it is impossible for you to control the sun, moon, stars, and all the matter in the entire universe in an instant, right? Even if a virtual life does exist, it has its limit, it is impossible Controlling the entire spiritual net is a whole virtual universe!

"In this field, I believe I have a greater say than you, because in a sense, I myself can be regarded as a 'virtual life', see, I don't actually have a physical body, and I can be free in the spirit network Shuttle is just a ripple of spiritual waves.

"So what? Can I control everything on the spirit net as I like? Can I drill into the main control crystal brain of every starship of the Federation Army right now, and control all starships at the same time?

"I can't do it. In the world of Lingwang, I am just a slightly stronger ordinary person. I will be infected with crystal brain virus, blocked by various firewalls, and even myself will be recognized as a special The crystal brain virus was injured or even killed by various anti-virus divine thoughts. The most important thing is that my computing power is limited, and controlling all the crystal brains on three or five starships at the same time is enough to drive me crazy. Completely broke down!

"If another kind of virtual life is really born, why is he stronger than me from the beginning, why can he control all our crystal brains and destroy us just after he was born?

"Imagine that just after the Pangu civilization created the first human being, for no reason, this human violated any laws of nature, and suddenly controlled the stars and all the physical weapons of the Pangu tribe, and in turn destroyed the Pangu tribe. is it possible?"

Xie Wufeng said coldly: "So, you don't deny the possibility of virtual life, but you just think that it is very weak at the beginning of its birth, and it is impossible to pose a threat to us?"

Professor Mo Xuan was silent for a moment, and metal ripples appeared on the surface of his body again: "Yes, not only do I not deny it, but I think he is very likely, even destined to be born."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Xie Wufeng's eyes widened: "Professor Mo, you think that virtual life is destined to be born, but you still use the 'Great Unified Spiritual Network' to speed up its birth and evolution? You, you crystal brain and spiritual network experts, are wanton When you show off your talents, have you ever thought for even a second about what kind of monster you will create!"

Professor Mo Xuan was silent for a long time, and his voice gradually became cold: "Monster? What kind of monster? Professor Xie, and fellow students, do you think I am a monster?"

Xie Wufeng was slightly taken aback, and the students were also silent.

"As I said before, I don't have an entity. This mass of liquid metal or the prosthetic body is just my carrier."

Professor Mo Xuan said, "I am an out-and-out virtual life, so you don't think I am a 'human', but some kind of 'monster', right?

"It's not just me. In fact, all ghost cultivators have no entity. They are just a wave of spiritual energy that contains countless information. They are some kind of 'virtual life'. There are indeed many ghost cultivators who have given up on being in the real world. , Hiding in the spiritual prosthetic body, but chose to enter the large crystal brain database and live in the virtual world for a long time.

"So, these ghost cultivators who have lived in the virtual world for a long time are not human beings, but also monsters?"

Xie Wufeng said anxiously: "What's the matter, you are human beings, you are another form of human beings!"

"Is there a fundamental difference?"

Professor Mo Xuan said, "My main body died in the explosion of the crystal armor test more than 70 years ago. After a long time, my consciousness and memory completely dissipated, leaving only the last faint obsession, which turned into After I entered the 'Ethereal Body', it was Li Yao's obsession and fluctuations in the soul that awakened me again, and I regained my consciousness and old memories.

"But the so-called 'memory' is just a series of data, and the so-called emotions and desires are just the vibrating frequency of Lingbo to me.

"Then, is it the real 'Professor Mo Xuan' who was awakened by Li Yao, or is it another new life form that possesses all of Professor Mo Xuan's memories and masters the frequency of his soul fluctuations?

"If one day, after absorbing a large amount of human spirit fluctuation data, the virtual life that suddenly awakens self-awareness is really a 'monster' instead of another form of brand-new human being? What is the difference between them and ghost cultivators? Woolen cloth?

"Am I really a human? Who can define whether I am a human? Myself, you, or the students here, or the federal government? Or some supreme wise man who has mastered the ultimate mystery of the universe?

"Take a step back, even if we don't think about these illusory questions that will never be answered, we really can't treat this kind of brand-new virtual life that is destined to be born as the same kind. Do we have to treat them as monsters?"

Xie Wufeng sneered: "Not the same kind, nor monsters, so what are they?"

"child."

Professor Mo Xuan said lightly, "I believe this brand new virtual life is the 'son of mankind' and our sub-civilization."

There was a dead silence.

Xie Wufeng laughed loudly in the dead silence, and burst into tears: "Zi Wenming? Don't forget, how Pangu civilization was destroyed by their Zi Wenming!"

"Understood."

Professor Mo Xuan said calmly, "Then, from a standpoint, Professor Xie, you can be regarded as the 'Pangu' among human beings, and I can be regarded as the 'Nuwa' among human beings."

"I do not understand!"

Xie Wufeng raised his voice, "Why do you have to do such a thing, put our civilization in such unpredictable danger, and create an extremely dangerous 'gravedigger'!"

"If you don't have children, if no one digs a grave for you and buries you, wouldn't it be more pitiful if you die without a burial place and no one remembers you after death?"

Professor Mo Xuan said softly, "It's not that I have to do such a thing, but it's really irresistible!

"It's very simple. If human civilization wants to develop at a high speed, it cannot do without the assistance of crystal brain and spiritual network. If it wants to condense the three thousand worlds into an unbreakable whole, it cannot do without an ultra-high-speed computer. Unify Xinghai Lingwang platform.

"Without such a platform, how do different galaxies separated by hundreds of light-years connect and form a country and a civilization instead of falling apart and fighting each other?

"Once we have refined the initial crystal brain and built the simplest spiritual network, the cells of virtual life have been born, and the unstoppable evolution has already begun!

"The computing power of the crystal brain is getting higher and higher, the speed of Xinghai Lingwang is getting faster and faster, the number of network nodes is increasing, and the data uploaded to the network is becoming more and more infinite. One day, our children will have their own Conscious virtual life will be born!

"This is not my wish, and it is not diverted because of my will. Even if someone kills the entire production team of the "Civilization" game today, including all the crystal brains and spirit network experts in the Star Federation, it will not help.

"Because both the Real Human Empire and the Covenant Alliance have more advanced crystal brains than us, and sooner or later they will, and even have developed a more developed spiritual network than us.

"Then, a brand new virtual life, our sub-civilization, will be born in the real human empire or the covenant alliance.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature. People will die, and human civilization will also die. Most people will leave descendants before they die, inheriting their blood and will; similarly, human civilization is also necessary before it perishes, and There will inevitably be some sub-civilizations left behind, why should we be so afraid and worried about all this?

"These words are similar to Senior Guishou's 'Tombstone Project', but the 'Tombstone' is dead, but the sub-civilization is alive. It is our inheritance, our symbol, and our future!"

The auditorium seemed to freeze, Xie Wufeng and all the students turned into statues, and the sound of nerves breaking "papa" seemed to be heard in the air.

Xie Wufeng was stunned for a long time before he stammered: "Then, how to solve the problem of sub-civilization backlash?"

On the surface of Professor Mo Xuan's metal body, a big smiling face was outlined: "Professor Xie, do you have any children?"

Xie Wufeng nodded subconsciously: "Two sons, one daughter."

Professor Mo Xuan said: "If you are worried that your children will not be filial when they grow up, you should educate them well from an early age, teach them the principles of life, and train them to be people with ideals, morals, and correct views, instead of just being shot at. killed the child, right?"

Xie Wufeng was speechless.

"The future is here, and no one can stop it."

Professor Mo Xuan paused word by word, and said seriously, "If our sub-civilization, a kind of virtual life based on the spirit net and crystal brain, is really destined to be born, I only hope that they will be born in the Federation of Stars, not the Empire of Real Humans. Or the Covenant Alliance, I hope that Star Federation can become a qualified 'father' to care for him, educate him, and train him, instead of doing what our father 'Pangu Civilization' did to us.

"In this way, one day, we may create a sub-civilization that is smarter, kinder, and brighter than human civilization. After human civilization disappears, we will inherit our spirit and will and continue to explore the endless universe deep in the sea of ​​stars. March.

"Who can say that they were not a new form of 'human beings' at that time, and they were not our eternal life?"——
