  Chapter 662 We are pioneers (6200)

  In the past two weeks, Ian has indeed been researching the silver chip and the 'computing unit' in the void at night.

  Especially after the war, Ian had three more second-level souls, and all of these souls had reached the level where they could be converted into calculation units.

   Among them, the "Snake Rock's Soul" even transformed into a larger "Standard Essence Autonomous Computing Unit".

   In other words, it does not need a 'supply unit' to replenish itself and maintain its own existence.

   And this structure gave Ian an inspiration in his heart.

"Obviously, the structure of the computing unit transformed from the silver chip is superior to my naturally formed loose soul. I can indeed try to transform my own soul into a similar computing structure to improve my own soul computing power! "

   This is the correct conclusion.

   When Ian started to transform himself according to the autonomous computing unit on the first day, it was not obvious because the structure of the transformation was still very small.

   But as time went by, Ian transformed more souls, and he could clearly feel that his calculation power was increasing.

  The soul is like this. After the second energy level gradually condenses the soul through the transformation of the source, it reaches the third energy level. All the processes during this period are to continuously condense it into a stronger structure.

  It may be based on belief, or will and ambition. In short, when people's self-awareness reaches a certain level and they have a clear, feasible and persistent belief, the mind light body will appear.

   At the same time, the structure of the soul will also become stronger.

   This is a complementary process.

  Ian can change his soul structure so easily, in fact, it is precisely because he has already reached this state—he can distort his soul shape with his imagination beyond ordinary people!

  For nearly half a month after the war, Ian has been relying on various comparative observations to determine his own situation.

   The results are uncharacteristically good.

  He feels that his thinking ability is getting stronger and stronger, and his calculation power is getting clearer.

  Because Ian's soul quality is far higher than those of his defeated opponents, today, the computing power provided by Ian's own soul alone can be compared to the combined power of five computing units.

  Although it sounds a bit complicated, it may be easy to understand with a simple description.

  【—Meditation practice—】

   Yes, it is meditation practice.

  With meditation, gradually change your soul structure and improve your computing power...

   Isn’t this essentially a kind of ‘cultivation’? !

  Visualizing some more powerful psychic computing structures to enhance one's computing power, and visualizing those powerful gods and demons to enhance one's sublimation skills, what is the essential difference?

  Maybe the computing power cannot directly constitute combat power.

  However, sublimators of pre-epoch civilizations do not have direct combat capabilities!

   is the era of Terra, because of the emergence of various alien creatures and biological weapons, they provided the sublimators with their "force modules".

   Potion is not so much the 'essence of a sublimator', but rather 'a part of the essence and a weapon module that forms combat power'.

   In other words, as long as Ian finds the 'power module' that can be supported by the 'computing power'... then the meditation practice system may be turned into reality!

   "This is the first step in the technology I named 'Absolute Way'!"

   It was very simple to lead Adalbert to the Void Realm. The other party was originally the king of the subspace labyrinth, but he hadn't taken the initiative to immerse himself in the Void Realm before.

  Actually, as the dead king, if Adalbert wants to reach the Void Realm, he only needs to ‘think’ by himself—it’s just that he is really a good baby, and he really has no idea at all.

And after Yadbert came to the Void Realm, Ian directly took out the "basic computing unit" and observed it for the dead king's sphere, which was pure white on the surface but had a crimson soul core, and also said Conjecture about your own plan.

"This is?!"

  After connecting to the calculation unit through the soul link, Adalbert immediately understood its function.

  After Ian's explanation, he quickly understood the meaning of all this.

   "This is a way for people to strengthen themselves...not a technology that turns their souls into other people's parts!"

  He suddenly became very excited.

   But Ian didn't know what to say.

  —err...who said you can't turn other people into parts?

  If I die, my soul will definitely become a high-level computing unit. At most, the computing power is stronger than the soul of the dead king, and I may still retain a little self-awareness.

  Although the truth is so, Ian is not going to take the initiative to inform Adalbert of his misunderstanding, since the point is not here anyway.

   "Here."

  Ian said: "Do you understand why I want you to restart the dead king technology?"

   "As long as everyone has a soul, everyone can try to imitate the computing structure of this computing unit. In this way, no matter how stupid people are, they can strengthen their thinking speed little by little."

"Of course, for people who are really not very smart, no matter how long they exercise, it's just a super calculator. a little."

"But I believe that this is only the initial path—in the future, there will definitely be a structure that can make stupid people smart, and smart people become more geniuses...People may be unequal, but everyone has to work hard to catch up with others. Human power!"

"yes."

Hearing the first words, Adbert cooled down from his excitement, and he frowned: "In that case... Ian, the 'Arcane Way' you mentioned is actually for us 'smart people' more favorable path."

"It's better to say that this is tailor-made for us! Because most of the time, we can think of everything, but we are limited by the speed of thinking and cannot think comprehensively, but if we have extra computational thinking, we can think in every way."

   "But for many people... simply improving their computing power and speeding up their thinking speed, they can't really understand the calculation formulas they can't figure out, and the math puzzles they don't know. No matter how fast they calculate, they can't figure it out."

   "If in the future, we develop a 'power module' that can be converted from 'computing power', won't the gap between people be even greater?"

  However, what Ian said later also inspired some motivation for Adalbert. He encouraged himself: "Yes, it is indeed difficult."

   "But these difficulties are exactly the problems we researchers need to solve!"

   "What's more, how can there be such a stupid person? And it's better than the way of sublimation."

  —That’s not necessarily the case.

  Ian is a little more pessimistic, because he has much more experience than Dalbert...God knows that there are billions or even tens of billions of people in Terra Continent, how many fools think it is a pre-epoch civilization?

  Oh, pre-epoch civilization also had idiots.

  An idiot who expects salvation is worse than expecting him to be smarter in his next life.

Facing Adalbert's words, Ian just turned himself around and made a gesture like shaking his head: "In short, for most people, the arcane path can bring about self-improvement, which can be felt personally. It’s true, there is an improvement in the feeling of becoming stronger every day!”

  At this time, his soul has shown a special structure, which is similar to the heart light body, the shape of a blue cross star.

  As Ian continues to solidify and change his soul form, his mind light body becomes clearer.

  When Ian completely completes his soul transformation, he will be the first to have a heart light body before advancing to the "Terra's third energy level". This is something he can be sure of.

  Because I can personally experience the benefits, Ian is quite reassuring in recommending it.

"yes…"

  Adbert sighed, then smiled.

  He stared at Ian and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, tell me the way and tell me the plans."

   "Ian...I will do my best to help you on this path!"

   "Okay!" Ian was also very happy: "Then next, help me develop artificial intelligence!"

  Adbert: "Huh? Why does it feel like the topic is jumping?"

  Even from the perspective of a professional researcher, Adbert couldn't keep up with Ian's brain circuit for a while.

"I just recently got a copy of the empire's artificial intelligence template for combat. I think Grand Duke Sorin should have similar information, you understand? Now there is such a convenient thing as a computing unit, how can we not create artificial intelligence? Utilize it? And with it, I don’t know how convenient it is to assist in the management of the territory!"

  Ian felt that his thinking was very coherent. He talked eloquently: "You see, if a person has a soul, he can link with the computing unit. If it is an artificial intelligence supported by the computing unit, it must also be able to link."

"Adelbert, the reason why I want to ask you to develop an 'artificial soul' is that I hope you can develop a soul model that can form an interface with them based on the 'computing unit' and 'artificial intelligence'... In this way, Everyone in Lingmin has a soul, and they can all be linked with the artificial intelligence of the virtual world, and more functions can be developed in the future, and many corruption and fraud that are now existing will no longer appear..."

   This inspiration comes from Ian's "electronic brain" in his previous life.

In essence, the electronic brain is a transformation of the brain that is available to all people on the earth in that era. It allows people to have the computing power of a high-end computer, improve their memory to the point where they can never forget, and can freely learn any knowledge they want to learn. , It can also be connected to the Internet through the electronic brain.

  Even if the body dies, as long as the electronic brain made of high-strength alloy is not completely destroyed, human beings can still survive.

  Strictly defined, isn’t the so-called electronic brain a kind of physical soul?

   It's just that Terra's soul functions are too few and too weak, so it needs to continue to develop related technologies.

  Because of this, Ian has always been very interested in the technology of artificial souls.

"and,"

Thinking of this, Ian decided to express his truest thoughts: "After all members have souls, the larger the population, the more 'free source matter' can be produced, and more 'computing units' can be produced. ...It may take ten thousand people, one hundred thousand ordinary souls, and the free source quality spilled out in a few months to increase one calculation unit...but this is a sustainable and purely profitable enhancement method."

   "This is a virtuous circle. As long as the people have enough souls, the computing units and artificial intelligence will become stronger and stronger."

   "In this way, when my territory develops and grows..."

  Ian hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "Perhaps, we will have enough computing power to analyze the 'Standard Model' of the source matter structure in Warcraft."

   "In this way, perhaps, we can rely on the huge computing power of artificial intelligence, without the need for Warcraft materials... out of thin air to create a "sublimator" that does not require a "potion"!"

   This is Ian's deepest plan.

   As early as in the imperial capital, Ian had a similar idea when he was researching potions.

  At that time, he thought, if everyone in human beings has powerful computing power, then they can directly condense the corresponding source quality structure with their own soul, and then become a sublimator.

  A kind of "practitioner" who can "practice" successfully by relying on bit by bit visualization and shaping.

  However, they all have that kind of computing power, and they can become sublimators with computing power alone—how can they still condense the structure of a mere first-level monster?

  This is an unsolvable paradox...Unless the technology develops to an incredible level, it is impossible for an individual to have the ability to shape the source material structure of a monster in a short period of time.

  And if technology develops to that point, there is no need for individuals to shape the source quality structure.

  However, the dead king, the combination of computing units and artificial intelligence...brought great inspiration to Ian.

  The dead king's "all souls work together to become a strong person" is essentially to raise funds to strengthen a person, but it is only a one-time.

  As the prototype of the dead king, the "computing unit" has universal and reusable computing power, but computing power alone can't do anything, it still depends on the quality of the individual.

  This is also the reason why the dead king needs a strong man to become a 'king'.

  Because giving a fool the power of the dead king, he will only blow himself up to death, and cannot bear the wishes of the dead souls at all.

  And artificial intelligence's steady use of computing power...maybe it can assist Ian in realizing the ambitious goal of "sublimation without potion", which is enough to change the world!

Through the source quality overflowed by the souls of the people, new computing units are continuously derived, and the souls of the people support the replenishment of the computing units and the artificial intelligence, so that the artificial intelligence can gradually accumulate enough computing power to replicate the source of the potion quality structure!

  At that time, as long as the source quality is sufficient, then the artificial intelligence will be able to mass-produce first-level sublimators!

  Although they are all the same potion, with the gradual growth of artificial intelligence, there will definitely be more and more potion structures that it can reproduce!

  As for the second energy level... maybe only some excellent talents can be selected.

  Third energy level...too far away.

   "It's so, so beautiful..."

  Adbert's soul sphere was trembling. If it was true, the young researcher must be holding his heart and breathing rapidly, shocked by the 'future' that Ian said.

  A sublimator who does not need potions... For the current Terra, she has broken too many shackles.

  Even if a high-level sublimator cannot be produced for a while, even if only a first-level sublimator can be produced, this concept is equivalent to completely eliminating the gap between the sublimator and ordinary people today.

Yes. For high-energy level powerhouses, low-energy level sublimators are no different from ordinary people.

  Back to the bottom, the gap narrowed, didn't it?

   As long as there is progress, it is a great thing.

  However, Adalbert is a smart person after all.

  After the initial excitement, he immediately thought of a flaw in Ian's plan.

"In this case."

  He was a little confused: "The source of all power comes from the 'owner of artificial intelligence', that is, Ian, you?"

"The current potion formula, the method of refining potion, and all kinds of monster materials, although they seem to be monopolized, but ordinary people can still get them... But if it is true, as you said, Ian, the artificial intelligence will collect huge If you can directly create sublimators, then who can become a sublimator is not a personal decision of the master of the artificial intelligence? This is a completely unspoken, more terrifying world of solitary husbands than it is now..."

   "It is true that I am making the computing unit now, I can be regarded as the caretaker of artificial intelligence..."

  Ian glanced at Adalbert strangely: "But when the artificial intelligence in the future can autonomously reproduce the computing unit and supply unit, won't that have nothing to do with me?"

   "And, why should an AI have a master?"

   “Aren’t we building artificial intelligences so they can still work automatically without us?”

  Adbert was stunned.

"Artificial intelligence only needs to operate according to the originally set program. It can operate without a master, just like those machine gods in the virtual world. After wandering around for such a long time, they are still operating and executing their own. The task of the Voidland Mechagod has almost become a phenomenon of the Voidland, even if human beings are destroyed and completely disappeared, the Voidland Mechanism will still exist."

   "The artificial intelligence I want to create is this kind of thing... even if we die, disappear, and cease to exist, things can still continue to operate."

  Ian said calmly, he didn't seem to care about this kind of problem at all: "Besides, in Terra, there are too many such things."

  The young man looked into the deepest part of the void, and said softly, "To be honest, it's like the inscription."

   "Why can the specific graphics and traces of the inscription trigger changes in the source matter and the spiritual energy field? They are obviously not mysterious at all."

"In my opinion, the inscriptions and many source quality structures, in essence, are likely to be some kind of program designed by a super civilization, omitting all complicated places, transforming the world in the most foolish way, and then converting this Throw out the power obtained after transforming the world, so that other civilizations can freely use the 'programs' they created."

   "Isn't this a kind of artificial intelligence?"

   "But for the vast majority of Terrans, all this is like the 'law of nature' and the 'law of truth'... No one has thought about these."

   "Everyone doesn't know the real principle behind it, but only knows the most superficial 'phenomenon' - friction can start a fire, everyone knows, but why friction can start a fire is too complicated to explain."

   "Adelbert, we are pioneers."

   "We are now doing 'complex things'."

  Adbert was stunned at the beginning, and now he is shocked.

  What Ian said, even his so many years of research career would never have occurred to him.

   It's not that Adalbert is not smart and lacks the skeptical spirit of scientific research.

  Actually, the fact that Adalbert was able to put forward so many opinions on Ian's plan is just a manifestation of his spirit of questioning and scientific research.

   But for the people of Terra, the inscriptions are able to induce source matter and psionic fields.

  It's like lighting a fire to boil water, and the apples will fall to the ground.

   This is an instinctive cognition engraved at the bottom of the bloodline long before their civilization took shape.

  However, how long can it take for a creature to grow from wisdom to civilization?

   Just millions of years...

  For the scale of the universe, it is just a moment.

   Creatures born in the universe of Terra may never think about these things.

   But Ian is not.

   He was reincarnated.

  He has the memory and knowledge of another universe, another completely different "cognitive comparison frame of reference".

he can.

   And, Ian knows.

  He knows that there is a super civilization in this universe that can create a "prisoner star prison", and almost all the stars on the sky are covered with this layer of prison.

  He knows that the universe is vast and boundless, and that civilizations that can do this are almost indistinguishable from gods.

  So, he can guess and question these things that are no different from 'truth' in the eyes of others.

   "We humans are not species that can directly see the truth. What we see with our eyes is like seeing things through a mirror. It is all illusory and hazy."

  At this moment, Ian softly recited the "proverbs" that Hilliard said when he first guided himself on the path of ascension.

He laughed, pure and sincere like a child: "So everything can be faked to cultivate the truth—just like the source quality structure reproduced by artificial intelligence is 'false' compared to the real Warcraft source quality structure, but it can To achieve the 'true' effect—it's all the same."

   "Adelbert, you asked me how to ensure that artificial intelligence is not used by individuals... The answer is actually very simple."

  Ian looked at the dead king, and he calmly said: "As long as you don't let anyone else know, there is an artificial intelligence that can make people into 'sublimation', and completely black-box this matter."

   "Then for other people in later generations, being able to rely on meditation and satisfy certain rules and conditions to become a sublimator is essentially no different from a great existence in the virtual world making a deal for power."

   "Even this great existence is a kind of 'law of nature' for the people of later generations."

"But...even if we keep silent so far..." Adbert was completely overwhelmed by Ian's thoughts now, but he still muttered to himself: "There will definitely be smart people in future generations who can discover the truth of all this... They'll find out."

   "Isn't that a very simple thing? Have smart people discovered the 'laws of nature' and 'summarized and utilized' them? What's the big deal."

   "Even now, we cannot be sure that the various 'truths and laws' we have discovered are not certain rules formulated by some super civilization."

  Ian said calmly, even indifferently: "What's more... First of all, Terra has a future, and we can successfully create the arcane path."

   "The things in the future are the things in the future, even a prophet can't control that much."

   "At the end of the day, my purpose..."

  —just head to the sky.

  —That’s all.

  【If my actions will affect future sentient beings...I won’t say I’m sorry】

   In fact, the protagonist of each of my books has a "burning soul" cheat, which can be regarded as a "soul burning" in response to fan cards
