Chapter 847 Significance
This is a very low-level design.
The original designer of the prosthetic control center believed that no matter how skilled the engineer was, it would be impossible to prepare plans for all emergencies. This is how he explained it in the 21st century.
"Why don't we use machines to repair machines? Why don't we use artificial intelligence to debug? Because we can tell the machine what is 'correct'. But we cannot make a set of all possible fault states and load them into In the machine's database. The machine can only judge 'this is not a normal state', but it has no way to deal with endless problems. Rather, if an engineer can predict all failures, he should be able to prevent them."
"Faults are often events that are unexpected by the designer."
Let’s take the most extreme example. A person is trapped in a disaster and needs to cut off his limbs to escape. At this time, his prosthetic body refused to implement the "self-mutilation limb" suggestion due to safety protocols, resulting in a man being trapped to death. Then the manufacturer of this prosthetic body may not be able to escape the blame.
Of course, there is another problem here. If a person's determination to "kill" is firm enough and his higher cortex also gives clear instructions, then the prosthetic body can also become a murder weapon.
If considered carefully, the latter situation may be much more common than the previous "extreme situation".
Therefore, weighing the priority of "biological brain will" and "security protocol" was the most difficult decision that the Transhuman Company made at the time.
And a certain decision-maker finally believed that if a person really wants to kill another person, he can find various weapons. But no one has ever seen a kitchenware manufacturer, a car manufacturer, a sports equipment manufacturer, or any other manufacturer being cast aside because their products were turned into murder weapons. However, "the prosthetic body blocks the possibility of human self-rescue due to safety protocols" will undoubtedly cause damage to the company's reputation.
The humans who helped the dolphins didn't yet know how to modify the underlying design.
The dolphins thought this design was terrible.
Humans can rely on the neural activity of the neocortex to a certain extent to regulate the activity of areas such as the limbic system - even humans cannot always guarantee that they will not be controlled by low-level functional areas.
Dolphins are weaker than humans in this regard.
They are easily dominated by certain instincts and emotions.
When Hikasi is hungry, she will even ignore the long-standing "hiding" tradition, ignore a suspicious thing that "looks" like an artificial object, and rush to bite the squid.
Kledechi was even worried that if one day someone in his group was stranded, the other friends would be controlled by the urge to rescue and all wash up on the beach without a plan.
Several dolphins also came close and gently touched Hikasi with their fins, tails or the tips of their mouths.
"At least the squid was delicious."
"Although the little bit of bone scratches my throat."
"It's delicious."
Kledici waved his tail: "Work harder!"

Tracking dolphins in a submarine may sound a bit strange. Since the second half of the twenty-first century, the sea has become less important. There is no need for humans to devote all their energy to studying submarines. The fastest submarine of this era may only be several times as fast as the submarine of the 21st century.
Moreover, Xiangshan's vehicles are not specialized underwater submarines, but are temporarily modified land vehicles.
Although Xiang Shan did not hesitate and immediately asked Yuan Wenren and others to drive the submarine and rushed in the direction of the dolphins, they were basically thrown away several times and could not be seen at all.
However, Xiang Shan still refused to give up. He took a search stance and sent out all small underwater drones to rummage through this area of the sea.
Liu Ri was somewhat puzzled by this behavior. He quietly asked the original source why the God of War was so interested in this underwater creature.
The original source speculated: "Perhaps... he wants to win over a new force?"
"Huh? Those guys who never come ashore... who hide under the sea?"
"You are an earth-drilling dragon, shouldn't you look down on the group that 'never shows up'?" The original source analyzed: "These guys are quite flexible at the bottom of the sea, and they can hide from two hundred years ago until now... There must be something special about them? For example, let me think about it...ah, yes, if those sects in the North that rely on submarines have the help of these guys, maybe..."
"well……"
Xiangshan's sigh suddenly came from the communication. Apparently, he heard it too.
"Ah, senior!" Liuri said, "So you are listening! Then it would be best to ask you yourself..."
The original listener was uneasy and felt that he might have said something wrong.
Xiang Shan sighed: "This is a civilization, a non-human intelligent group... you..."
Xiang Shan paused.
After a few seconds, he said calmly: "Why are knights knights? Why should we become knights? We must fight for the happiness of everyone and for the freedom and liberation of mankind. So, 'What is everyone's What is "happiness" and "human freedom and liberation"? Some things cannot be understood until we reach a higher level. For humans, the "intelligent dolphin" can be a good mirror for looking at ourselves. civilization."
"Chivalry is a flag, but a flag is just a tool. I think this non-human intelligent race that exists in reality has a higher meaning than this. Although we are still fighting with the protectors, we don't have much time to dawdle here. But I still hope to find some clues before leaving. After the victory of chivalry, they will definitely have a unique meaning."
Xiangshan said so.
He really thought so.
Chivalry is just a tool for humans to correct their direction after entering a certain wrong path. Humans will one day surpass it and go to a higher level.
And if these intelligent dolphins can continue to survive until that time, they will still be a help for humans to examine themselves. They are still of great significance to human civilization.
Even if he is destined not to catch up with the dolphin, Xiangshan hopes to find some clues and bring them back.
I heard that Nia Guti is in Africa, maybe it is appropriate to tell her this news.
Then, the clue came.
In a place with higher seabed terrain, the drone found something.
It was a sunken submarine. Judging from various traces, it sank only about ten hours ago.
Xiangshan landed next to the submarine.
