Chapter 369 Funny Video

"So many airships, 24-hour information bombardment... Isn't it too much?"

On this day, Yu Yifeng was patrolling a large workstation.

In front of him were rows of monitoring screens, densely packed for several floors, recording the status of each airship. Looking closely, the videos they played were basically the same.

This situation is a bit like the TV store more than a hundred years ago... It made him miss it.

"It's different, Captain, it is essentially a different creature from us, and we can't measure it with our limits!" An education expert received Yu Yifeng at the door of the workstation.

He smiled and said, "We humans are single-process creatures. We can only do one thing at a time. If we do more than one thing, we will make mistakes. But this kind of multi-process thinking creature is different. They can analyze and process many things at the same time, just like a multi-core CPU..."

"After such a period of contact, we have already understood its general characteristics. It looks very smart... It's like 10,000 brains are integrated together. Of course, it can receive a lot of information, but in this way, it is more difficult to form a perfect self-awareness. It must synchronize so many thoughts..."

Yu Yifeng nodded, "So, the cognitive rise process of this self-awareness has become quite slow, right?"

"Yes, that's it! We believe that only by repeating and extending the repetition process can it have a deeper impression! In fact, babies build their own worldview in this repetition..."

When children are young, they like to repeat some actions. Many children like to throw things. When their mother picks them up, they continue to throw. One action can give them endless fun.

The same is true for infant education. It requires constant repetition. When they are young, they repeatedly accept various information heard and seen to build their own worldview.

For this creature that looks smart but is actually a little stupid, a lot of repeated training is needed...

"This statement sounds... a little reasonable..."

Yu Yifeng nodded thoughtfully.

"Playing 3,000 videos at the same time is far from enough. We are planning to expand the scale... It is precisely because of the slow growth that we have the opportunity! Otherwise, it would have had its own thoughts long ago, and it would be difficult to change..."

"The most difficult thing to change is the human heart... Just like the thoughts of adults, once formed, it is difficult to change."

While speaking, the education expert operated several commands in succession, and a series of data popped up on the screen: "These selected baby videos are not aggressive at all, representing the innocence and simplicity of our human beings, and contain the friendliness and kindness we want to express... It is also the concept we want to instill in it, and it is the object of its imitation!"

"Look, this baby video has been played more than a thousand times, and it likes it very much. The concentration of seaweed nearby is increasing, and even forming different observation structures..."

"Keep playing, must continue playing! Our ideas must be correct!" The education expert pointed to the screen excitedly.

To reach this point, he must have liked children from the bottom of his heart. Cultivating this strange creature gave him an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

Yu Yifeng curiously leaned over to take a look: In the observation instrument of the airship, you can clearly see a large amount of seaweed forming various round things, which look like grapes, which may be similar to eyes or ears...

Because the sound of the video was too loud, all the birds and fish around were scared away, leaving only this pile of strange algae moving around in front of the video.

Yes, they are moving!

Although the amplitude is not large, there is no doubt... it is not caused by waves!

This phenomenon has aroused the curiosity of many biologists, but they can only observe from a distance, and they are anxiously scratching their heads and ears, and their hearts are itching.

And what is playing on the big screen in the sky is a funny video of "baby playing with cat": a fat cat is teasing the baby with its tail.

As long as the tail touches her face, she starts to laugh wildly, but as soon as the tail moves away, she stops laughing and just looks at the fat cat with expectation.

Then the cat moved its tail up again, and before it touched her face, she started laughing again...

The whole video was only a little over a minute long, and it was played again after it was over.

Especially when the baby laughed wildly, the algae below were stimulated by something and started to move along, as if they wanted to learn to express joy.

It was so repetitive and joyful, as if they would never get tired of it.

Looking at people who had spent so much effort to build so many airships, playing this kind of... video...

Well, Yu Yifeng didn't know what to say. But it is undeniable that this kind of video playback did have a certain effect, at least, it was communicating with humans!

Humans' current influence is far greater than any other creature, and that's enough!

According to the words of educational experts, this is to instill "human consciousness", starting from the infant stage, and no step can be skipped. Later, it can be shown to high-end children's programs such as "Teletubbies"...

Yu Yifeng sighed. It was difficult for him, who had never been a father, to understand these details.

Since there was no better way to think of, let them mess around...

He walked to another working group...

In this way, time passed day by day, and half a month had passed in the blink of an eye. Every day, there were new discoveries and new progress.

More and more experts came to the surface, but nothing major happened during this period.

At the same time, the number of airships in the sky slowly increased to 10,000 groups, and the number was still increasing... But no matter how many groups there were, the algae below would become active at the same time. They were no longer stupid as before, but interacted closely with the airships.

The relationship between the two sides gradually eased...

This also made scientists more and more looking forward to the specific capabilities of "Gaia Biology", because the more processes that can be executed at the same time, the stronger its industrial capacity will be.

"I don't know how much information it can receive at the same time... There should be an upper limit to its ability, but this upper limit is very high... Conservatively estimated at 50,000 or 60,000?"

"The data is out! The data is out!"

"Based on the literature, we have counted the peak of the Dig people's 'copying' craze... That is, more than ten years ago, at the beginning, its industrial capacity was only 0.02% of ours, but a few months after the birth of self-awareness, its industrial capacity rose to 57% of ours!"

"This rise is too fast, it's incredible!"

"Think about it, this is still the industrial capacity in the initial situation. If it is well trained and educated, it can surpass us by a large margin... It's really powerful!"

The emergence of this news has made the top government officials more determined to "capture Gaia"... Because everything is moving in a good direction, this strange education plan is actually quite effective!

If it is really educated into human consciousness, it will naturally join the new human civilization!

As the relationship eases, this Gaia creature seems to be getting familiar with the human spacecraft. Wherever the airship floats, the algae below will follow... It can't be said to be following, the entire ocean is full of algae, but it is temporarily "activated".

This allows scientists to have a better understanding of its nature, and a steady stream of reports are generated every day and sent to Yu Yifeng's office.

"Normally, ordinary algae in the sea are not intelligent and are in an 'unactivated' state, but they can be quickly activated and evolve at the cellular level when needed... This property is very strange!"

"In other words, it is very likely to have one or more command cores... As long as we have a smaller core, our success rate of capture will be greatly improved, and we don't need to pour a lot of seawater into the Noah!"

Then, the submarine that had lost contact was reconnected! In other words, this Gaia creature no longer hinders people from exploring the ocean...

"A gesture of goodwill?"

This slowly dispelled the doubts in the hearts of Yu Yifeng and military personnel.

But on the other hand, Yu Yifeng's heart was beating wildly from time to time, reminding him that the crisis had not disappeared, but was getting closer and closer...

"If the crisis was not caused by Gaia, then what would it be? Is there something else on this planet?"

He frowned and thought hard, but could not come up with any results. He could only ask Xu Yunjin and other military forces to strengthen their vigilance, increase the search of this planet, and search for more living natives to try to find more information...

On March 14, 2018, that is, today, scientist Stephen William Hawking passed away.

Pay tribute to this great soul, and hope that he can find the ultimate truth in another dimension.
