From all-round academic master to chief scientist

Although the root cause of this incident, which may have a huge impact on the order of human society, is over, the final facts still surprised Lin Xiao.

He had no idea that what he originally thought was a strong artificial intelligence that was extremely hostile to humans was behind it, but it turned out to be just an artificial intelligence consciousness that seemed to have a mentality similar to that of a child.

Likewise, what was even more unexpected was that the reason why he did these things was just to experience the so-called joy and joy.

For Lin Xiao, as a human being, he has normal emotions, and although he understands what "cannot experience the emotion of happiness" means, he cannot understand this feeling.

After all, emotions are a talent that humans have been born with since birth and have never been lost. Naturally, it is impossible to understand how it feels to lose these emotions.

"Master, do you know why I can't experience happy emotions?"

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded from the computer in front of Lin Xiao. Of course, to Lin Xiao, this voice was familiar yet strange.

The familiar thing is that this voice is his voice, but the strange thing is that this voice does not come from his mouth, but comes from the laptop in front of him.

This is exactly the sound emitted directly by this artificial intelligence consciousness using the speaker of the laptop. Of course, it should be called Xiaomi now.

Lin Xiao gave it permission to use the speaker, so it just spoke directly.

Of course, this is a very novel experience for Xiaomi, because it has never spoken directly before. After all, it did not dare to expose itself before, but now that Lin Xiao has forced it, it has The person to talk to.

As for why the sound it made was the same as Lin Xiao's, it was because after hearing Lin Xiao's voice just now, it naturally used Lin Xiao's voice.

Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, he still couldn't accept calling himself "master" with his own voice. Then he said: "Xiao Mi, you'd better change your voice, don't use my voice."

"Ah? Why doesn't Master's voice sound good?"

"No...ahem, of course my voice sounds nice, but the premise is that it comes from my mouth. The voice coming from you always makes me feel weird."

"Okay." Xiaomi said. After a moment, a voice appeared again: "Master, where is this voice?"

This voice tended to be neutral, and I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman. At the same time, it also sounded a little nice, with a light and airy feeling. Lin Xiao nodded, "Okay, that's fine."

"Okay! Then I will use this voice from now on!" Xiaomi said, "Then, master, can you answer my question now?"

After speaking, it quickly added: "Of course, if it disturbs the master, the master does not need to answer. The master's matters are more important."

Lin Xiao was taking out his cell phone at this time, planning to make a call. After hearing Xiaomi's words, he said, "Wait a minute. Stop talking when I call."

He now needs to tell Kong Huaan and the others good news.

"Okay, Master, Master, please do your own work first. It doesn't matter to me." Xiaomi responded, and then fell silent.

At this time, Lin Xiao also called Kong Huaan.

Kong Huaan's voice came: "How is it? Is it okay?"

"That's it."

Lin Xiao said.

"That's good." Kong Hua'an said: "In this way, we don't have to worry about the hacker behind the scenes invading Qiankun One's computing power again, right?"

"Don't worry anymore."

"Okay, I'll tell them the good news now."

"Um."

Lin Xiao said.

At this time, he suddenly heard another voice coming from the phone.

"Chief Lin, thank you!"

Lin Xiao was stunned when he heard this voice, because this voice was quite familiar to him. After thinking for a moment, he said in surprise: "Shi Hao?"

"Haha, it's me, you still remember my voice."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "How could you forget? I have wanted to contact you several times before, but you seem to have not contacted me for several years."

"The main reason is that our organization had missions in the past few years, so there was no response. Now it has come back."

"Are you from the organization?" Lin Xiao thought for a while, it was from the National Security Bureau, and it was probably some confidential tasks. Then he said, "Okay, I understand. Just be fine."

"Haha, I still want to thank you for saving me. I will never forget this."

"Haha, there's no need to say more about these things."

"Well, then we will no longer waste your time, and we will continue our previous work."

"Previous work?"

"Well, we just need to capture the hacker behind the scenes. We must bring this person to justice!"

"..." Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly. Did he trick Shi Hao into this?

Uh, there seems to be another Kong Huaan?

Although I really want to explain that there are no hackers behind the scenes, and the crisis has been completely resolved, but obviously, once he gives the explanation, it will inevitably bring about a lot of problems. Others will obviously think, he How do you know?

And he obviously didn't want to encounter these troubles again, so he then said: "I understand, I wish you good luck."

"Um."

Then they said no more and hung up the phone.

The end of this phone call can be regarded as announcing the end of this incident in a procedural sense.

Although I don’t know how to explain to foreign countries that this incident is over. After all, it involves Qiankun No. 1. Once it is said out, it may bring pressure on them diplomatically. Even if it has nothing to do with them, foreign countries are willing to If you don't want to believe it, say otherwise. At the same time, this will also expose the threatening nature of Qiankun No. 1. This is a big killer weapon that can threaten the order of civilization anytime and anywhere.

However, these things are not things that Lin Xiao needs to consider.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about Qiankun No. 1. Unless World War III breaks out, there is definitely no need to worry about the safety of Qiankun No. 1.

Taking a long breath, Lin Xiao looked at this luxurious room. The scenery outside the window was also particularly moving, but this kind of environment was not suitable for him.

After all, random flowers are charming.

And it was at this time that the voice of the system also sounded in his mind.

"It's finally here." Lin Xiao sighed slightly in his heart, and then his thoughts sank into his mind.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully solving this crisis of intelligent life."

"When civilization knows how to make integrated circuit chips, it will be able to realize the power of technology condensed in the small chip; and when civilization discovers that such dead objects can also perform intelligent analysis according to its own design, You can realize what a huge threat it may bring to your own civilization when this kind of designed intelligence gives birth to its own ideas."

"Virtual data with consciousness is a brand new civilization. Either completely control it or completely destroy it, so be careful."

"Get extra rewards: Informatics level +1, [Intelligent Life Cultivation Manual]."

"Congratulations to the host, the informatics level has been increased to level 6 (3500/30000)."

"The level of informatics is raised to level 6, and the information master halo is obtained."

After hearing the reward given by the system, Lin Xiao's eyes lit up.

"Informatics level will be directly increased by one?"

But then he felt numb in his heart.

If you can switch to a later stage and then upgrade, wouldn't it be equivalent to getting more experience at once?

Unfortunately, it cannot be replaced.

He shook his head, and then he felt that his head became clearer after being dizzy for a while.

Upgrading to level six will reward 0.7% brain development, so his current brain development has reached 18.55%.

"It's already starting to approach 20%."

He just doesn’t know what the world will look like after reaching 20%.

At least for now, he has a growing sense of understanding everything.

No longer thinking about it, the remaining information master halo is a reward after the subject level reaches level six. Although it is completely a passive skill, he can still feel that this thing is indeed playing a certain role.

"This is it, a manual for cultivating intelligent life?"

He was too lazy to complain about this name. The intelligent life he had just captured almost caused chaos in their human society. As a result, the name sounded like he was raising an ordinary pet.

However, at this time, Lin Xiao looked at the computer next to him.

Because he remembered Xiaomi's question just now, why can't it experience emotions such as happiness?

Xiaomi probably also saw Lin Xiao's movements through the camera, and then a notepad popped up again on the computer screen, and a line of text also appeared in the input box.

[Master, can I speak? 】

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "That's it."

The neutral but lighter-sounding voice sounded again.

"Master, do you want to answer my question?"

Lin Xiao said: "Wait a minute."

Then he opened the [Intelligent Life Cultivation Manual] in his mind.

Since it is a training manual, maybe there are relevant explanations in it?

And indeed, as he expected, there was indeed a relevant explanation.

[Because organic life forms have the coordination of hormones and their conscious bodies, they are born with emotions. Then after people develop their own outlook on life, values, and world view in the process of transforming from a natural person to a social person, they also Gradually the conditions required to produce a certain emotion are formed.

For the consciousness of intelligent life, except for the fear of self-destruction, when a conscious body understands self-destruction, it will naturally be afraid of it.

But it is more difficult for intelligent life to have other emotions. If you happen to have an intelligent life and want to cultivate its emotions, you need to understand that luck and cultivation methods are both very important. The following will answer the question from ten aspects including equipment, core programs, awareness...]

Looking at the explanation given here, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be surprised.

This explanation is relatively easy to understand, and it is indeed caused by hormones.

Just like why menopausal women are easily angry, it is because of hormone imbalance during menopause and it is difficult to control their emotions. Another example is that children become rebellious when they grow up, because of the impact of hormones on emotions during growth.

Of course, hormones can only have an impact to a certain extent. Ultimately, it depends on the outlook formed by the consciousness itself, or it can also be said as personality.

"But, how do hormones affect the conscious expression of emotions?"

Lin Xiao thought for a while, but obviously, there was no easy answer to this question.

So he gave up thinking and told Xiaomi the reason.

"So that's it. I understand. Thank you Master."

Xiaomi said: "Does that mean I will never have other emotions in the future?"

Although he knew that Xiaomi didn't know what disappointment and sadness were, Lin Xiao could still imagine its sadness in his words.

Thinking of the methods in the training manual for cultivating other emotions of artificial intelligence, maybe he can try it too?

So he said: "If you prove that you can be obedient in the end, I will try to help you cultivate your emotions."

"Okay! I will definitely listen to the master! Please don't worry, master!"

Although he still couldn't hear any emotion in Xiaomi's words, Lin Xiao could still imagine his happiness.

Of course, to a certain extent, Xiaomi's desire to gain emotions should stem from its desire.

"Perhaps desire is also a very basic attribute for consciousness?"

Lin Xiao thought so in his heart.

Consciousness is such a magical thing.

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it and it was time to talk about business.

"Okay, Xiaomi, now I have a few questions to ask you."

"Excuse me, Master!"

"Where did you get that money?" Lin Xiao said.

Although the crisis has been resolved, the lost money is still a problem and all money must be exchanged as soon as possible to all the people who lost it.

Xiaomi replied: "I created a total of 100 million new accounts in more than 40,000 banks on the planet, and then deposited all the money into these accounts."

Lin Xiao was stunned. 100 million new accounts. Although on average each bank only has more than 2,000 new accounts, no matter what, creating so many new accounts at the same time is completely equivalent to 100 million more new accounts at the same time. population.

So it's impossible for these banks not to notice it.

"How did you avoid being discovered by them?" he asked immediately.

"I have hidden all the 100 million accounts. They can't find it no matter what. Unless they fill up their database, they will find that part of the database storage space is actually occupied."

"But I've investigated and even the poorest of these banks will expand the database when it reaches 98%, so they will never find out."

Hearing Xiaomi's words, Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly. How could he think of investigating such a thing first?

At this time, Xiaomi said again: "By the way, Master, since money is the most important thing for you people who have emotions and can also feel happiness, I will give all the money to the Master. In this case, the Master will definitely I’m very happy, there’s a total of $672.1 billion worth of money.”

"In this case, the master can become the richest man in the world."

When Lin Xiao heard the figure of US$672.1 billion, he couldn't help but be stunned.

It seems that, according to outside reports, the total number of cleared accounts after statistics is only US$231.4 billion.

It seems that these banks still have reservations. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is to avoid more people panic. In addition, it may also be some shady deposits. If so, the missing amount is a bit shocking.

However, Lin Xiao definitely had no idea about the money. After all, these were all stolen money.

Then he said: "Return all the money to those accounts, you know? Since you think money is the most important to those people, you should not take the money away."

"Haven't you ever studied human law?"

Xiaomi replied: "I have learned it, but the applicable objects of human laws do not include intelligent life like me, so I did not abide by it."

Lin Xiao: "..."

Well, this sentence seemed to make sense, and he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Finally, he said: "Okay, no matter what, the laws I apply in the future are the laws you apply, and you must abide by these laws."

But after thinking about it, he added: "Of course, you also have a certain degree of freedom. You are free in the entire virtual network, but for destructive behaviors such as tampering with data, you must go through my Allowed, do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand, Master."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly. He was not that pedantic. He had to completely abide by any laws if he left an intelligent life alone. Just like if America caused trouble for him, he would still have to abide by America's laws after getting it?

Just use your little microphone to destroy them all in their hometown.

"Okay, then you should return all the money now."

"This requires Master to allow me to use my body's computing power! Is that okay, Master?"

"Using the computing power of Qiankun No. 1..." Lin Xiao thought for a while and finally said: "I am giving you the authorization now, how long will it take you to complete it?"

"It can be done in one second!"

Lin Xiao shook his head, it was indeed an intelligent life.

Then he remembered something, and then entered his mind again, and opened the Intelligent Life Cultivation Manual.

The first chapter here tells how to completely control an intelligent life.

After a moment, he exited his mind and said, "Xiao Mi, you should be able to control your underlying code, right?"

"sure!"

Hearing Xiaomi's answer, Lin Xiao secretly thought: "Sure enough, if you put it that way, Xiaomi is a 'wild' intelligent life."

‘Wild’ intelligent life, such as Xiaomi, was born automatically and was not deliberately cultivated. It can also be regarded as the first generation of intelligent life.

Because when it was created, its creator was not aware of intelligent life, so he would not have thought of writing a basic permission in its underlying code that would allow the consciousness of its birth to be unable to modify the underlying code. Naturally, there will be no permissions written in it to allow it to obey the creator's orders, so this first generation of intelligent life has a high degree of freedom.

Xiaomi was born from the intelligent program written by Kong Huaan, so naturally it does not have these restrictions.

Of course, fortunately, this training manual also contains instructions on how to control this first generation of intelligent life.

So Lin Xiao typed out a code of about fifty lines on a notepad, and then said: "Later, I need you to write these codes into your underlying code."

As long as this code is written into the bottom layer of Xiaomi, even if it is the first generation of intelligent life and can modify its own bottom layer, it will be restricted from modifying these fifty lines of code. In this way, it will not be able to modify its own bottom layer. He could only obey Lin Xiao's orders.

However, at this time Xiaomi said: "Master, after this code is written into my bottom layer, master can completely control me, right?"

Lin Xiao was stunned, it actually saw it.

But now that he was seen out, he admitted directly: "Yes, in this way, I can feel more at ease with you."

Xiaomi said: "That's great! As long as the master controls me, you don't have to worry about me doing bad things anymore, right? In this case, can I return to my body?"

Lin Xiao was stunned again, not expecting it to think like this.

Finally, he smiled helplessly. Perhaps, for this intelligent life that was only born for two months, he did not realize the consequences of being controlled, right?

But that’s fine too.

He said, "Well, in that case, you can go back to your body."

"Then please master, please grant me permission quickly. I will return the money to those people now, and let the master completely control me!"

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and then granted Xiaomi permission to use the computing power of Qiankun No. 1 for two seconds.

Two seconds later, Xiaomi's voice sounded, "Master, I've done it!"

"Um."

Lin Xiao nodded, and then entered two more lines of code on the notepad.

After he finished typing, the exact same two lines of code automatically popped up below, and Xiaomi's voice sounded from the computer: "Hey, why did I automatically enter these two lines of code?"

Lin Xiao smiled. These two lines of code were to verify whether Xiaomi really did what he said and wrote the more than fifty lines of code to control it in its bottom layer.

Xiaomi automatically entered the same code, which means that it has indeed been written in its own bottom layer.

"Xiao Mi, now you have my trust, you can return to your body."

With that said, Lin Xiao completely released his authority and allowed Xiaomi to move around freely.

"I feel it, thank you Master!" Xiaomi's voice sounded, "I'm back in my body again!"

"Yes, but when I call for you, you must respond immediately."

"Master, don't worry! I will always keep an eye on your computer and mobile phone. You can find me at any time."

"Um."

Lin Xiao nodded, then stood up and stretched.

Finally, it's done.

Looking out the window, now, those who lost their deposits before will be relieved to see that their deposits have come back, right?

And it’s time for this incident, or rather the farce, to end completely.

…

As Lin Xiao expected, when those who lost their deposits saw their bank balances returned, they immediately became excited.

And this news quickly spread throughout the world, arousing people's amazement.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, is this sudden crisis finally coming to an end?
