Chapter 112: Collective Wisdom

The scholar did not hesitate and immediately expressed his thoughts: "According to the consistent behavior of Silver Mist Consciousness, we have reason to believe that this question is something it subconsciously does not want to answer, or it is deliberately avoiding it."

Such a sentence popped out of his mouth, which made other experts look a little unnatural. Isn't this bullshit? Why did they refuse to answer it?

However, the scholar did not notice it at all. He just paused and continued: "There are two situations when avoiding a question. One: simply not wanting us to know. Two: there is another hidden secret.

Since the Silver Mist consciousness already believes that it has a chance to win, there is no reason not to say this. So I think it is the second case, it cannot say it, or it is unwilling to say it because it involves its own secrets. "

"Through this speculation, it is not difficult for us to draw the following conclusions: First: when we landed for the first time, the silver mist that came over was not controlled by the silver mist consciousness.

Two: The Silver Mist consciousness was controlling it, but it might have been affected by some kind of built-in program at that time. Well, it was affected by the original mining program, so there was no time to 'step on the brakes', resulting in the Silver Mist operating according to the mining program. The first batch of transport boats were disassembled.

Three: More than 20,000 years is a long time for any kind of life, and Silver Mist, as a self-awareness, can be regarded as a life form. As a self-awareness life form, it must also feel Extremely boring.

Because it can only stay on that desolate planet due to its own limitations and cannot do anything. In this case, the Silver Mist consciousness is likely to pass the time by sleeping on its own.

And because of this, the silver mist that initially attacked us was controlled by the original mining program, breaking down what the silver mist consciousness originally needed.

Four: The energy consumption of life has always been very huge. Silver Mist Consciousness reduced its power consumption through dormancy to spend a long time, and ultimately missed the first opportunity. "

From the short rejection of Silver Mist Consciousness, the scholar concluded four possibilities. Although the third and fourth points are very similar, they are also quite powerful.

His words made everyone, including Yue Yuan, fall into deep thought.

Everyone is thinking that perhaps the weakness of the Silver Mist Consciousness is hidden behind these four possibilities. If it can be confirmed that it is that reason, humans will probably follow the clues to find the weaknesses of the Silver Mist Consciousness.

At this moment, another scientist on the split screen who had been thinking for a while suddenly said: "I think there is a fifth possibility."

Everyone looked at the screen in front of them and found that the speaker was Chen Haiyu, an expert in the field of AI.

"I would like to add something," Chen Haiyu said: "I think there is another possibility: there is more than one Silver Mist consciousness."

As soon as these words came out, everyone participating in the video discussion showed different expressions.

Chen Haiyu explained without waiting for them to ask: "According to the development of our human computers, in the field of AI, we all know that the core thing of AI is its data, computing power and algorithm. In short, it is the program."

"As a consciousness that evolved from an intelligent program, the most basic component of the Silver Mist consciousness must also be an initial program, and a program can often only control one or a unit of hardware or body, so if you want To achieve multi-machine control, we can only form a network."

When Chen Haiyu said this, an expert couldn't help but intervene and asked: "Does Dr. Chen mean that there is a problem with the Silvermist network?"

"Well." After hearing such a question, Chen Haiyu pondered for a moment and did not refute. Instead, he nodded and looked at the expert who interrupted: "It is possible, but I think it is unlikely. Or there is actually a problem with the network. , but it’s not a network in the traditional sense.”

Chen Haiyu took a breath and continued to explain,

"For us, we only need one program and then establish a network of various nodes, just like 'Light of the Milky Way'. But if we do this, once there are too many threads, there will be insufficient computing power. And this, This is exactly the true situation of Silver Mist Consciousness.”

"What do you say?" someone asked.

"Life! Creation!" Before Chen Haiyu could speak, Yi Kai, who was also conducting a video discussion on the screen, answered first, "Although the Silver Mist Consciousness claims to be a more advanced existence than us and the Moks, this is exactly what it is. A place of guilt and weakness.

Life is so miraculous. How can it be compared with the life that was born after billions of years of universe evolution? So I think that even if the Silver Mist Consciousness is smart, its computing power is higher than ours. Its flaw is There is no creativity, which is why it is a creation of a third-level civilization but is trapped on a mere planet. "

"Yes, Dr. Yi Kai is right."

Chen Haiyu nodded his head in agreement at Yi Kai, and then he continued to add: "If you don't engage in AI, it's normal for you not to understand the Silver Mist consciousness. As Dr. Yi Kai said, only by explaining that it is trapped on the planet Condition.

So now we can conclude that in addition to mining skills and self-awareness, the Silver Mist consciousness may also include some limited information on the Mok people, but it certainly does not have much knowledge of the science and technology of the third-level civilization.

This is why it didn't even know about controllable nuclear fusion at the beginning, and those stories that deceived us and the video records of the Moks should be the data of the original Moks base on this mining star. "

"We've strayed off topic." Chen Haiyu scratched his head, which had lost a few hairs, and brought the topic back to the point he wanted to make at the beginning: "In other words, the Silver Mist Consciousness is limited by hardware conditions, but it needs to control all Silver Mist, so it can only use one method, which is very simple for a consciousness born from an intelligent program, that is, to copy another program that is exactly the same as itself!"

"Just like we copied two subprograms from the 'Light of the Sky River' and used them on Ross 154-7 and its satellite base respectively."

"Using this method, let your own sub-individuals control other Silver Mist pairs, just like we As we saw before, after the silver mist flew out of the cave, they were still divided into distinct pieces, rather than all mixed together, like the silver mist chasing us now. "

"But using one's own replica to control more silver mist will inevitably lead to a situation: leaving a backdoor for the replica, and then enslaving one's own replica.

If so, it is not difficult for us to infer that the silver mist consciousness that decomposed us may have been enslaved by itself for a long time and committed suicide when it saw no hope, and the silver mist thus became a mining program without consciousness. "

Uh.

Is this the conclusion?

Looking at Chen Haiyu who was talking freely, Yue Yuan was a little surprised by his conclusion.

Because Yue Yuan felt that the information that Chen Haiyu mentioned in the analysis process might bring to humans was more valuable than his conclusion.
