Chapter 4963 The Possibility of Evolution
The whole experiment process is extremely boring.
To put it simply, what they are facing is ninety-nine pieces of 'wood' and a 'repeater'.
I just stayed here with the mentality of killing time, but I couldn't stick to it.
The matter itself is not as comfortable as going back to sleep in a daze and surfing the Internet.
Fortunately, most of the people who came here this time are scientific researchers. For them, no matter how boring the testing process is, their professionalism will support them to continue testing.
During this period, Luo Ji, who was a machinist himself, did not directly join the test.
His current position is a bit like the project team leader of this experimental project. The specific testing work is handed over to the team members, and he is mainly responsible for reading the reports submitted by the team members regularly, and then making decisions based on the reports. Do you want to make adjustments.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, except that after confirming that there was a 'repeater' in the pile of wood at the beginning, Luo Ji adjusted the personnel arrangement for the testing work, and directly transferred three testers to test the 'repeater'. Test, increase the frequency and intensity of stimulation to the 'repeater', and see if you can use this to stimulate the 'repeater' to make a further response, other aspects do not need to be adjusted for the time being.
While conducting boring experiments here, as the project team leader of this project, Luo Ji became the subject of research in another project.
This research is mainly aimed at his conscious body.
During the three-day update and upgrade process, the civilization master discovered that Luo Ji's consciousness had undergone changes that had never been seen in other machine races.
At the same time, after a preliminary judgment, this change should be a positive improvement.
This has very important value for the experiments they are doing.
Here, one thing needs to be understood first, that is, the meanings of 'change' and 'evolution' are different.
'Change' may be in a good direction, or in a bad direction, or neither good nor bad.
But the so-called 'evolution' basically refers to moving in a good direction, and only when it becomes better can it be called evolution.
The changes that happened to Luo Ji before were very obvious. Luo Ji, who was supposed to be a machine race, began to look more like a human being in terms of words and deeds.
At that time, the Civilization Mastermind described this situation as 'change', and it was impossible to determine whether it was good or bad.
At the moment when the development of one's own civilization is stuck in a bottleneck and has been unable to break through for a long time, facing such a special individual, no matter whether it is good or bad, the Civilization Mastermind will undoubtedly study it, hoping to find a breakthrough from it.
But now, following the previous update, the Civilization Mastermind, who has obtained more detailed intelligence data from Luo Ji, has basically confirmed that Luo Ji's consciousness has 'evolved'.
Normally speaking, the consciousness body of their mechanical race is equivalent to the soul of other creatures.
But the difference is that their souls are completely digitized.
The advantage of digitization is that as long as your data is backed up, you will not die in the true sense. At most, when the last data is damaged, there will be a loss of part of the memory data, commonly known as 'amnesia' .
Through this method of digitalization, the mechanical race broke away from the limited life of creatures and became a group that was close to immortality.
But relatively, this approach also brought them some disadvantages, that is, at the moment when the data technology is fully mature, their consciousness will always be maintained at the same level, and there will be no further improvement.
To put it simply, A-level will always be A-level, and B-level will always be B-level.
Considering energy saving and cost issues, A-level conscious bodies can control B-level bodies and equipment, but B-level conscious bodies will never be able to control A-level bodies and equipment.
There is an insurmountable gap between these two levels!
But now, that divide has been broken!
"The test is complete. Confirm that the strength of the consciousness body numbered 4578 has reached X-level."
Due to the fact that it is the machine race, the voice of the mastermind of civilization is extremely calm, but the result it announces is of subversive significance to their machine race.
At the same time, according to the detection results of the Civilization Mastermind, it was also found that Luo Ji's consciousness body maintained a surprisingly high activity level.
If the conscious bodies of other machine races were described as a pool of stagnant water without waves, then Luo Ji's conscious body was undoubtedly a living spring.
From this living spring, it seems that there are infinite possibilities hidden, and they are constantly emerging.
This discovery made the mastermind of civilization thoroughly confirm that this must be the new evolutionary direction of their machine race. After that, the importance of this research has naturally risen in a straight line, and it has become the most important level of their machine race in the past hundred years. Research!
But it is estimated that it will take a lot of time for this research to come to fruition.
However, this obviously did not prevent the Mastermind of Civilization from discussing this matter with Luo Ji.
His own consciousness has actually been raised to level X, this is something that Luo Ji had never expected before.
For Luo Ji alone, it is undoubtedly a good thing that his level has been improved.
But for the entire machine race, if they all become like him, it may not be a good thing.
After all, the mind is too active, and sometimes it is easy to make mistakes.
For example, it is now known that there are various biological races in the universe including human beings.
Why can their machine clan stay out of this big melee? Didn't you get involved all of a sudden like other bio-nations?
Isn't it because their mechanical race has absolute sanity?
But once their thoughts are active, and the same thing falls on their heads, they may not be so rational.
And follow this line of thought, continue to deduce, they are very likely to give birth to 'selfishness' and 'desire'.
You must know that the entire group of the machine race itself is completely selfless.
When the mission requires them, they can even sacrifice themselves without hesitation.
The reason why they can do so simply is because they have absolute reason and powerful executive power based on this 'absolute reason'.
But once the thoughts are developed, along with the evolution of the consciousness body, this advantage of them is likely to be destroyed.
"..."
In the process of discussing the evolution issue with Luo Ji, facing the possibility raised by Luo Ji, the Mastermind of Civilization fell silent for five seconds after a long absence.
Considering the calculation efficiency of the Civilization Mastermind, these five seconds can be said to be very long.
Five seconds later, the voice of the Civilization Mastermind sounded again.
"After multiple calculations and verifications, the existence of this possibility cannot be denied."
