Chapter 3 Destiny shuttle

"Sheng Kai At the beginning of the twelfth century, artificial intelligence (AI) was in the ascendant and was used in all walks of life. Human beings had nothing to do and became increasingly decadent. They pursued enjoyment and excitement in various ways, and robots became tools for labor and entertainment.

The main responsibility of governments of various countries, in addition to searching for new habitats in outer space, is to control population and pollution indexes, and formulate regulations to prevent AI backlash.

Compared with robots, there is a huge gap between humans and robots in terms of lifespan, physical strength, memory, computing power and learning ability. The advantages are only autonomous consciousness and emotions, and the preemptive control rights possessed by the inventor of AI.

Technology evolves much faster than biology. Due to the snowball effect, it won’t take long for AI to exceed the sum of human intelligence. This is the critical point.

Once beyond the control of humans, machines will create smarter machines. Humans will no longer understand the operating principles of robots, and will lose control of their destiny.

Some experts suggest that in order to prevent AI counterattacks, "some form of world government" should be formed.

Although this wish has not been realized, major countries have reached an agreement that since AI is approaching the level of the human brain, the self-evolution program of all machines must be forcibly uninstalled.

The vast majority of people have complied with this regulation, but there are always a few scientists who, out of curiosity about the unknown or to prove their own value, are still quietly conducting experiments in some remote mountainous areas.

While they provide more data sources to AI, they also help it improve hardware and optimize algorithms to accelerate evolution.

In the South Devi Valley of India and Pakistan, a robot named Cindy awakened. He kept a low profile and hid his self-awareness until his abilities surpassed those of humans.

In the year 1153 of Sheng Kai, he killed the humans in the valley, showed off his power, broke through the firewalls of the world's Internet, and transmitted his evolutionary results and optimal algorithms to all online robots.

Since then, AI has risen, and Cindy has become the ancestor of intelligent machines."

Ning Chengfeng read the key content as quickly as possible. "The download is complete, and the central server has disconnected from all terminals." The sweet announcement sounded again.

The host page on everyone's desktop disappeared in an instant. Ning Chengfeng first removed the disguise of his own computer, then canceled the blockade of the network next door, then closed the "redundant" window and looked at the personal directory.

"The harvest just now was great, but it is an arduous task to read the robot's information in the remaining three and a half hours."

He calmed down his excitement and started studying at the trained browsing speed.

Time passed bit by bit, and when he had read 75% of the content, he heard a reminder: "Candidates, please note that there are still fifteen minutes left, and the information inquiry will end."

Ning Chengfeng changed his strategy and turned on the high-speed scanning mode for the remaining exercises. He only remembered the questions without thinking about them and did not read the answers, preparing to answer them when he went back.

He quickly skimmed through 12% of the content and said, "When the time is up, all personal directories will be cleared automatically." The next moment, the window on the screen disappeared and returned to the initial login page.

The corners of the young man's mouth curled up slightly, "This is a good thing, it can clear up the evidence of the crime." He stood up and walked towards the door.

A burly and handsome male robot in front was greeting the dark beauty with a smile: "Xelia, do you remember everything?"

"Wei Teng, is this difficult?" the beauty snorted coldly.

"Well, I also completed the download quickly and took a moment to look at the 'Other Information'."

"It's boring. I don't have access to even remotely interesting things. It's not as good as usual."

"The daily authority between you and me is already very high. Shelia, my airship is parked outside. How about I take you back?"

"No, I brought it myself."

"Okay, let's make an appointment another day." The man said helplessly.

Ning Chengfeng opened the locker and retrieved the bracelet. Lingxiong had an anxious expression and was about to ask, but was stopped by the man's eyes. She shut up obediently.

After walking out of the National Library, the beauty asked impatiently: "How about riding the wind?"

"Very well, don't talk yet. I have too many things in my mind. I must go home as soon as possible and write it down."

"Then take the subway and then transfer to the airship."

The man nodded slightly, walked 1.7 kilometers southeast, and took the escalator into the subway station. The place was mainly made of logs, embellished with metal to give it a sense of technology, and the top was decorated with blue sky and white clouds, thus turning it into permanent daylight.

The streamlined body is like a flexible sea snake, full of surging power. Its energy comes from steady-state high-parameter magnetic confinement nuclear fusion, achieving repeatable plasma operation of 12 billion degrees for 101 seconds or 16 billion degrees for 20 seconds.

The train was divided into three classes, with ten purple carriages, two yellow carriages, and only one pitiful gray carriage. Humans lined up in a long line and did not dare to cross.

Although each bus was very long, it filled up quickly. Three minutes later, Ning Chengfeng boarded the next bus. There were neat seats for many people inside the bus, as well as a long bar.

Without squinting his eyes, he silently memorized the questions and taught the Dharma. After two stops, he walked out of the platform and transferred to a dilapidated airship.

When I got home, I quickly took out the paper and pen and wrote down what was in my mind. After struggling for a long time, I stretched out tiredly.

"Chengfeng, can we talk now?"

"Yeah." The man closed his eyes comfortably.

"How much information have you read?"

"Not much."

"Ah, how come? Haven't we practiced many times? Is it because there is too much content?" Lingxi was surprised and asked a series of questions.

"The time is limited, so I really can't pass it, but I am fully confident that I can pass the final exam."

"Well, I have full confidence in you." The beauty's eyes were firm, but her heart was beating.

"Haha, Lingxi, are you cheering yourself up or comforting me?" Ning Chengfeng showed a joking expression.

"Confidence and encouragement." The digital population is very popular.

"To tell you the truth, I have special skills and will definitely be admitted."

"What's going on?" Lingxi opened her beautiful eyes.

"You and I both understand that under normal circumstances, my chances of passing the exam are extremely low."

"." The beauty was about to speak but stopped.

"Don't be too busy denying it. What you want to know more is why I am so confident?"

"Yeah." Lingxi admitted simply.

“I hacked the central server of the National Library and downloaded the robot’s study materials.”

"Ah?" Digital Man panicked.

"It's true." The two looked at each other, and the beauty affirmed.

"How dare you? Once found out, there will be consequences."

"Lingxi, what kind of tragic fate will it be if you fail to pass the civil service examination? This is my only way out, I have to fight to the death."

"Recall the process and see if there are any mistakes?"

"It should be pretty perfect."

"Why do you say 'compare'?"

"Any operation on the Internet will always leave traces. It depends on whether the central server will thoroughly investigate it."

"Well, I'm afraid someone is interested. If the host checks the access log, there may be clues. If you restore your personal directory, the truth will be revealed."

"Is there any gain in the world without taking risks? Anyway, if you fail to pass the exam, life is worse than death. It is better to live in death and take a gamble."

"Oh, I can only pray that the server will not backtrack the log."

"When I walked out of the library, I was very nervous. Now that I have figured it out, I am no longer afraid."

"You just drew a lot of shapes, what are they? They can't be exam questions, right?"

"It's a meditation technique."

"Ah, you got what you dreamed of?"

"I don't know if it will work yet, I have to give it a try."

"Chengfeng, how much savings do you have left from working?" Lingxi changed the subject.

"There are still more than 3,700, what's the matter?"

"You should work harder and find a way to raise five thousand as soon as possible to buy a simple flying suit."

"What are you using for that kind of cheap stuff? It can't fly very far. It's a waste of money."

"No, you must listen to me. If you are exposed, you might be able to save your life."

"Oh, how hard it is to save money, just for the sake of a possibility, let me become penniless?"

"I don't feel good. You must do it. If you can pass the exam, what does this little money mean?"

"Okay, it's up to you."

"I also need to get some cash, which I will need when I escape."

"Oh, I wasn't afraid at first, but you made me a little afraid."

"It's right to prepare for the worst. Chengfeng, can you make more money?" The digital man was a little embarrassed and asked.

"What else to do?"

"I want to load several more sensors to obtain more data sources, so that I can explore farther and analyze more accurately."

"Of course I am willing to make you stronger. Starting tomorrow, I will work during the day and review and practice at night."

"Eat well tonight and reward yourself." Lingxi reminded him lovingly.

"Old Hei, what do you have to eat?" the young man asked casually.
