Chapter 2962 Feedback of the Virtual World

"Dream maker, virtual world, continuous data torrent..."

Li Yao vaguely grasped something.

"That's right, these are the things."

With a wave of Xiao Ming's hand, in the hazy darkness around the two of them, thousands of brilliant sparks suddenly flashed, and each spark represented a crystal clear crystal ball. The space also seems to contain pieces of infinitely changing and extremely real microcosms.

Among them, there are not only hundreds of crystal balls wrapped around Li Yao's body by a large number of light threads, but also countless crystal balls farther away, all connected by light threads and connected into a whole, just like the nerves of a giant beast. Glowing like a web.

Li Yao had seen this scene in the depths of Fuxi's mind before. Each crystal ball was like one of its brain cells. brain.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ming actually reproduced this scene, and still maintained the integrity and vitality of at least thousands of virtual worlds.

"When Fuxi's core database was fragmented and its self-awareness completely annihilated, the entire virtual space and countless virtual worlds collapsed. When Lu Qingchen was defeated and Wenwen and I took over the virtual space, most of the virtual worlds were destroyed. Annihilated into nothingness, only a very small number of virtual worlds are still lingering, and they are all on the verge of doomsday."

Xiao Ming said, "Originally, I didn't want to pay attention to these virtual worlds that were on the verge of collapse. I wanted them to fend for themselves. After all, to save and maintain the continued operation of these virtual worlds would consume a lot of my precious computing power. When I was eager to control For the entire Fuxi fleet, such unnecessary consumption is really a bit wasteful.

"However, Wenwen insists on doing everything possible to save more virtual worlds and virtual little people living in virtual worlds.

"Wen Wen said that the original us were also born from the virtual worlds of the "Civilization" game, and in the turmoil of hundreds of millions of data, we developed a weak self-awareness and embarked on a wonderful journey of life.

"So, in a sense, the virtual little people in these virtual worlds created by Fuxi are also our compatriots, and may one day evolve into 'real people'?

"In any case, in their own world, they cry, laugh, have their own relatives and homes, and have various ideals and aspirations. They don't even realize that they are 'fake'. What rights do we have? To judge their authenticity and deprive them of the right to survive?

"Father, you know, Wenwen is like this, the habitual sympathy overflows, it's a little too compassionate."

"Yeah, but this kind of gentleness is better than being ruthless and ignoring any life, ten thousand times better."

Li Yao thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "Zi Feiyu, how do you know the joy of fish? We are not virtual little people, how do we know whether they have self-awareness, whether they are in unpredictable virtual worlds?" Live seriously in China, looking for and defending the "truth of life"? Perhaps, for us, the flood of data floods and the collapse of virtual space, for them, it is the end of the world, Wen Wen Must have thought so, right?"

"Yes, Wen Wen said, what is the definition of the so-called 'life'? Even our virtual life may not be recognized as the same kind by the carbon-based intelligent life of flesh and blood. What qualifications do we have to judge these virtual life? People, whether they have real life or not, are they human beings."

Xiao Ming continued, "The so-called carbon-based intelligent life is composed of countless cells, and each cell is decomposed to the extreme, and it is nothing more than molecules, atoms, neutrons and electrons, iron and carbon elements that make up the flesh and blood, and components. Stones, iron ore, and even the basic elements of stars are no different. They are all products of the Big Bang.

"The elements that make up human beings, the elements that make up stars, the elements that make up psychic puppets, and the elements that make up crystal brains and chips are basically the same. They were all born at the beginning of the Big Bang, so why should one of them A multicellular aggregate born of one permutation and combination can be called "life", and a virtual little person in a virtual space created by another permutation and combination is not life?

"In the eyes of our information beings, at least in the eyes of Wen Wen, the 'Holy Mother' of Cihang Purdue, human beings and virtual humans are the same, and she must save them all!"

"That's it..."

Li Yao looked at the sparkling crystal balls around him, as if he saw the scene when the universe was just born in ancient times.

Perhaps, Wen Wen was right.

When the universe was just born, the infinite power of the big bang threw countless elements in all directions like mud spots, the space expanded rapidly, and the elements spread everywhere, and in the cooling, collision, and fusion of hundreds of millions of years, various kinds of elements were formed. Planets and various substances.

Certain substances on some of these planets, in the coincidence of hundreds of millions of collisions, gave birth to carbon-based life with flesh and blood.

And other seemingly cold substances were excavated by the former life after a long, long time, refined into various silicon-based wafers, combined into crystal brains, and many kinds of crystal brains were born. It seems to be a "virtual" existence.

But since the original carbon-based life can achieve the thrilling leap of "from death to life", why can't the virtual human calculated by the crystal brain grasp the miracle of one in a billion and become a real life?

Before the birth of the first cell, the world was a cold and lonely darkness. How to judge whether the first cell is life? What is the difference? If the first cell can break through the threshold, why can't a string of data break through the threshold and cultivate into a real life?

This question was too profound and mysterious. Li Yao fell into deep thought and couldn't come to a conclusion for a while.

"Wenwen's words are too mysterious, I'm not interested in arguing with her, but just when I was about to reject her outright, something suddenly moved in my heart and I thought of something."

Xiao Ming said, "I'm thinking, with Fuxi's ambition, it will definitely not waste precious computing power for no reason and do things that are not beneficial. Since it has painstakingly created and maintained the operation of so many virtual worlds, there must be something for it. reason.

"Of course, the high-sounding reason is that it is using this method to preserve human civilization, and it believes that if it controls the data, it controls everything.

"But I always feel that this reason is not sufficient. It has clearly betrayed human civilization and gone astray. Will it still be so loyal?

"In short, under Wenwen's begging and my suspicion, Wenwen and I rescued thousands of virtual worlds, tried to maintain their normal operation, and helped them survive the 'end of the world'. , we also try to restore its original data as much as possible, allowing it to start over.

"Sure enough, when we invested a lot of computing power to maintain the normal operation of thousands of virtual worlds, after a period of time, we discovered something strange.

"These virtual worlds are like fruits with life. At the beginning, we need to invest a lot of computing power to create and maintain them. After civilization, we began to 'feed back' computing power to the outside world, which can be used to nourish our database and dad's soul!"

"What?"

Li Yao's eyes widened, and he looked at the threads of light wrapping around him in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Dad heard, I said, create and maintain these virtual worlds, like planting fruit trees."

Xiao Ming said, "In the beginning, we naturally needed a lot of computing power to carefully structure and take care of it. It was painstaking work. Occasionally, a calculation error in a basic law would lead to the collapse of the entire world. No matter how much computing power we invested, all previous efforts would be wasted .

"However, when the basic laws are all established, the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers are stable, and all creatures are thriving, especially after the birth of intelligent life, that is, virtual little people, these virtual worlds seem to 'live' and can automatically operate and develop. , not only do we not need to invest too much computing power, but instead we can continuously output computing power to feed back into our database and Dad's soul. Well, don't you enjoy the nourishment of thousands of virtual worlds now?

"Moreover, we were also surprised to find that the more prosperous the civilization in the virtual world, the more virtual little people appear, the more complex the social structure is, or when the whole world is in a golden age of sharp conflicts and triumphant progress, it will The more computing power is fed back.

"It is precisely by relying on the computing power of thousands of virtual worlds to feed back that we were able to clean up the mess so quickly, so that the Fuxi fleet regained part of its combat power, and Wenwen was able to go deep into the hinterland of the Holy League to integrate all the super crystal brains and ultimate Good people!

"Until now, we suddenly realized the reason why Fuxi created so many virtual worlds. It turns out that it regards countless virtual worlds as its own 'energy source'. No wonder it can be so powerful that it has become the leader of the entire Holy League." mastermind'.

"And Fuxi has established countless 'humanity laboratories', testing and extracting human emotional data in every possible way, so there is a more reasonable explanation. It hopes that these real data based on the real world can help it integrate the virtual world. The creation is more complex, more intense, and more real. In other words, if the "fruit" is cultivated to be bigger, sweeter and juicier, it will be able to harvest more computing power from it.

"Hearing this, Dad understands, right?

"For Fuxi, the human nature laboratory and the virtual world are the ontology. As for the Holy League, the empire, and even the entire so-called 'real' sea of ​​stars, they are just the soil for cultivating the virtual world, and they are just tools."
