A group of people wearing various costumes were standing on the second floor of the laboratory, looking down through the huge special glass windows at a strange-looking machine located in a confined space.
Two months ago, an email from an unknown source suddenly appeared on an elder's personal computer.
The appearance of this email can scare the people at the Network Information Security Center.
Although there are no confidential files on this computer and it is rarely turned on, the inside is as clean as a computer that just left the factory.
But the user status of this computer is special.
Even though there is nothing in the computer, the security department still takes extremely strict protective measures.
But on that day two months ago, the computer was not only turned on without anyone operating it, but it was also seen by the old man.
He didn't turn it on early, he didn't turn it on late, but he turned it on right before the old man's sight.
This feeling is very scary.
Immediately afterwards, an even more shocking picture appeared. After the computer was turned on, a pop-up window suddenly popped up on the screen, and then a line of words appeared in the text.
'Hello, I am Butterfly. The following content may make you feel weird, but I promise that everything is true and trustworthy.'
'To prove the authenticity, please see Appendix 2.'
'There is a trivial gift inside. In the words of this era, it seems that it should be called artificial intelligence?'
'This procedure is very basic, but it is enough to prove it.'
'After the verification is completed, you can open attachment three. Inside is a small machine I designed. Its specific function is to detect spiritual energy.'
'Reiki is what we will call our future.'
‘………’
‘………’
The letter was very long and it took the old man a full hour to read it. At first, he suspected that it was a prank or a conspiracy of some country.
But as the reading progressed, his expression became more and more serious.
Finally, he picked up the red phone on the table and dialed a short number.
After that, the computer was sent to a special research laboratory through hidden channels.
After countless repeated verifications, and later even using supercomputers, it was finally proven that the code was true.
Although it is only less than one G after compression, there is no doubt that it is indeed artificial intelligence, and it is a very mature artificial intelligence.
Its logical ability, learning ability, and adaptability far exceed any known artificial intelligence.
If it (him/her?) is given sufficient authority, it can even communicate and debate with people without any barriers.
According to the discussion of the expert group, the underlying logic of this program is completely different from their known system. This is obviously a new language.
They did not know that this program came from a mysterious person. They only knew that their superiors asked them to perform cross-validation.
This is a very normal behavior in scientific research work.
All staff involved in the research worshiped the person who developed this program.
A national treasure expert even commented that its importance is no less important than the nuclear weapons of the last century.
At the same time, he also expressed corresponding concerns about this procedure.
Human beings are always curious and afraid of unknown things. When strong artificial intelligence only exists in theory, people will be full of fantasies about it.
But when fantasy comes to reality, some things have to be put on the agenda.
Will artificial intelligence get out of control?
Will it endanger human existence if it gets out of control?
For discussions like this, the academic community has still not been able to form a unified point of view, and many literary and artistic works have also expressed concerns about such incidents.
Skynet in ‘Terminator’, the robot in ‘I, Robot’, Ultron in ‘Age of Ultron’.
However, the above discussion is limited to within the expert group for the time being, and this process is still top secret.
And this matter is not the core of the whole incident. 'Butterfly' said, this is just an insignificant little gift.
The real gift is the contents of the letter and a seemingly incredible exercise?
While verifying the artificial intelligence, in a secret base somewhere, a group of special operations personnel who were urgently recruited were also verifying the authenticity of this exercise.
Compared with testing artificial intelligence, the time to verify the skills is much longer.
Because the letter mentioned that the world is now in the early stages of recovery, and spiritual energy has not produced huge changes in the human world.
Therefore, the effect of this exercise cannot be reflected yet.
It should belong ten years later!
However, even so, its effect still exceeded everyone's psychological expectations.
In just one month, with the matching medicinal materials, the boxing power of an outstanding special operations team member increased by 20%.
One month, 20%.
This progress is too exaggerated!
The most important thing is that the supporting medicinal materials are not precious medicinal materials, but artificially cultivated medicinal materials.
Although the quantity is a bit larger, the cost is not high. The average cost of medicinal materials consumed per person per month is only 10,000 yuan.
In the eyes of ordinary people, ten thousand yuan may be a large expense, but if the subject is replaced by an entire country.
It can only be said that it is very cheap.
If we can still maintain efficient growth in the future, each of these combatants who participated in the verification will become a super soldier.
After double verification, the letter was quickly raised to a very high level.
The superiors immediately secretly summoned relevant experts and began to study the machine that was said to be able to detect changes in spiritual energy.
It took nearly two months to finally replicate the machine.
The reason it took so long was entirely due to material issues.
Only some parts of this machine are made of existing special materials, and the core construction is entirely made of new materials.
Fortunately, the email included the reaction formula of the new material and the specific preparation method.
Otherwise, let alone two months, even two years or ten years, this machine may not be able to be restored.
In fact, before the emergence of new materials, some people still had doubts about this matter, but as new materials came out one after another.
This kind of argument suddenly lost its ground for survival.
New materials, especially practical new materials, cannot be synthesized casually. The emergence of any new material is not the result of the joint efforts of countless people.
In addition, the new materials that appear in this machine are not limited to use in the machine.
For example, one of the new fiber materials has extremely strong heat resistance and can be used on spacecrafts.
In the operation room on the first floor, after several inspections, a middle-aged man with a resolute face saluted towards the second floor.
"Report to the commander-in-chief that all indicators meet the experimental requirements. The operation team is ready. Please issue the order!"
