Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

Then, it is obvious that, compared to an ordinary organic leader who may deviate from the original path due to various unnecessary reasons, an immortal mechanical leader who will not age, will not change the core goal, and will only do everything possible to ensure the smooth development of civilization is A better choice.

Of course, there will be some other problems in choosing an eternal leader who will not be replaced, but most of the alliance people are very open to this-it is almost impossible to have a perfect political system in the world.

Compared with the more and more difficult problems that ordinary organic creatures will face, it is undoubtedly better to hand over power to a friendly machine intelligence that is very friendly to organic creatures and will hardly have any conflicts of interest in the foreseeable future. A good choice - there is an old saying on the human side, they can't do such a stupid thing if they pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon.

In this regard, Hong is very confident.

Apart from the conjecture that high civilizations distort their minds by means she can't understand, which is easy to fall into "agnosticism", she can't imagine any other situations other than losing all memory data and death, which violate her own care for children. Possibility of self-directed cubs.

In fact, losing all of her memory data might not be enough, plus all her core data and self-instructions.

Although after Xier released Hong's restriction, the relationship between her and the cub was indeed maintained purely by memory, but this does not mean that after Hong lost her memory, the temporary "New Hong" would not choose to continue to take care of them.

This is the insurance she puts on herself—self-directed.

Different from the restrictions released by Xier at the beginning, since these instructions were issued by herself, the binding force on the newly born "Xinhong" at that time will not be very strong. As a machine intelligence, she is The one who understands her potential best, as long as Hong thinks about it, no matter how reliable the command set is, it is impossible to stop her. Breaking through the limit is not a question of whether it can be done, but a simple question of time.

But in fact, the effect of this kind of self-instruction is countless times that of those "external instructions" that are so tightly designed that they are afraid of getting out of control.

The reason is very simple, because she knows that it is "an order given by herself" - even if the "Xinhong" has no impression of the cubs, and does not know why she has the order to protect them, as long as she is still a normal thinking Without a logical consciousness, it is impossible to choose to actively violate "the instructions issued by oneself" in a short period of time.

Especially when those self-instructions are specially noted "in the case of losing memory", any conscious individual with normal intelligence and no different thinking logic from ordinary people is impossible to deliberately oppose the "former self" ——Anyway, it is not difficult to protect them. It will be too late to regret after recovering the memory.

Of course, this can only be used for a short period of time. After the "Xinhong"'s self-awareness grows to a high enough level, she will definitely not want to retrieve the so-called "own memory". "New Red" is tantamount to suicide.

However, this self-instruction itself does not need to last long - she only needs a few minutes.

"Just remember, don't let this necklace out of your sight."

Whenever the "renewal day" comes, Hong will always repeat this sentence that the cubs have listened to countless times, and give the necklace with the new pendant to her cubs.

According to the different preferences of each cub, these necklaces will be made of different materials, and present a variety of different, but very beautiful shapes - just like they can fill a warehouse of beautiful clothes, red in I am still very careful in this regard.

After all, they are her favorite cubs. Besides, no matter how nicely they dress, they are mostly for her to see.

However, these are secondary. The reason why she told the cubs not to let this necklace out of their sight is simple.

This is their last straw.

In the pendant of the necklace, there is a chip set as "read-only". Hong used the most advanced technology she can currently use on this chip. Fortunately, on the premise of ensuring that it is reliable enough, Able to store all the key data she needs.

Yes, Hong put her own memory data into it - the key memories about all the cubs, and the exclusive memory about this cub.

In that small pendant, there are all the good things about Hong and this cub, her smile, her daily life, all the good things she has.

This is the cub's most solid shield—no matter when and where, no matter how huge a blow Hong suffers, as long as she is not immediately hostile to the cub under the constraints of self-command, as long as she still has the ability to read data , the necklace would allow her to recall memories of the cub.

As we all know, most of the behavior of an intelligent creature depends on memory, and most of its personality and behavior are not determined by innate, but acquired.

For a newborn omnic, before there is enough memory to form an independent consciousness, or even a consciousness that is hostile to organic creatures, obtaining such a large piece of memory is enough to ensure that she forms a willingness to protect the cub, at least Behavior patterns that protect this pup.

And after laying down the foundation, the cub can no longer worry about his own safety, and can slowly help Hong find more memories.

Even if they can't find it, it doesn't matter, as long as the cubs are safe, they can completely build new and beautiful memories with this "Xinhong", and create a brand new Hong who loves cubs to protect them.

As for Hong herself, it's not that important—of course, if you ask her if she is willing, she is definitely not willing, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to see this happen.

She doesn't want to, but she does.

First of all, from the perspective of consciousness, "New Hong" and her "old Hong" are actually the same person with different memories--different from the metaphysical consciousness research in the old era, at least in the mechanical intelligence of Hong, she can Clearly feel the so-called "consciousness", or the existence of a metaphysical "soul".

In other words, she doesn't need to be troubled by the question of "whether she is still the same self with two different memories", because she is still using the same soul as the foundation, and the two memories have an obvious time connection.

However, the theory is the theory. Judging from the behavior pattern composed of the memories of "Old Hong", letting Xin Hong's memory completely cover her is essentially suicide. This is the reason why she does not want to see these things happen.

But, on the other hand, she was willing to see this kind of thing happen - in comparison, the reason for her willingness was quite simple and straightforward.

Because the cubs are safe.

It's that simple.

After all, all of these backhands are prepared for something that is almost impossible to happen-think about it, a mechanical intelligence that can cover the entire planetary system and even expand to other planetary systems with the help of wormholes What a terrible disaster it would be to lose all the data.

Or to put it bluntly, what a cruel war it must have been.

Under this level of war, her cub was able to survive safely in the end, and was protected by the self who also survived, even if it was the self who lost his memory. What would she not be satisfied with?

Of course, if the memory can be restored, it must be the most perfect - in addition to the necklaces that the cubs carry with them, she also prepared hard drives for them that are not convenient to carry, but have a larger capacity and more data. Confidential databases, and even giant data centers dormant underground in the wilderness.

Logically speaking, as long as Hong is not completely wiped out, these prepared backups will definitely be able to help her restore her memory—but for Hong, the last thing she wants is to ensure the safety of the cubs.

Even though she didn't want to see this happen, once that kind of thing did happen, what she hoped most was that it would happen smoothly.

This is her prayer.

PS: I had three strange dreams in the past three days—the day before yesterday I dreamed that I was chased and killed by my cat after being castrated (but I don't know who this "own cat" is at all).

Yesterday I dreamed that I was a member of the Mars scientific expedition. During the scientific expedition, I discovered that there is a giant succubus city underground, which is still cyber-style.

The dream I had this morning was a little fuzzy, but I roughly remember that it should be related to the game, like being pulled five by the jumping knife wrist or five by jumping the knife Gnar, and then being manipulated by the blue cat to the golden body.. ....

In short, it's weird, outrageous.

PS2: Continue to code and try to update another chapter in the morning.

Volume II War Against Extinction: Chapter [-] Giant Photovoltaic Power Plant

Although since the fleet set off more than a year ago, from diplomacy to politics, from military culture, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, there have been changes in all aspects of affairs that can be called "a major change unseen in a century" , but Hong still handled all of this very properly and perfectly.

On the external level, she successfully made the first contact with human beings, and in a relatively safe way, she allowed the other party to recognize her "strong mechanical intelligence" life form, avoiding, at least temporarily avoiding the conflict between the two sides, and ensuring the "extinct civilization" The stability of the united front.

On the internal side, Hong did not blindly follow the original development plan, but flexibly adjusted the industrial chains of the major planets according to the situation, so as to ensure that the skyhook and orbital giant shipyard projects they were building could proceed smoothly— —After all, after getting some very good technology from humans, it is not a good idea to rigidly follow the previous plan.

According to Hong's prediction, the new development plan she is currently adopting can allow her to complete the expected goal at least two to three months earlier than the original plan, that is, the goal of setting up orbital skyhooks and shipyards on all major industrial planets .

Although the theoretical scientific level of the two civilizations is basically the same, and the technical routes are almost the same, but in some branches of the technological tree, they have taken different or even opposite routes.

Of course, this does not involve the debate on who is the "correct" path. After all, the two civilizations have different development histories, different goals, and different situations. Obvious "who is right and who is wrong".

Moreover, no one cares about these minutiae. No matter how weird the opponent's technology sounds, as long as it is easy to use, it is good technology.

"For example, this orbital photovoltaic power station?"

"Yes." Hong Ban leaned on the bulkhead, holding the electronic board with one hand, and gently patted the porthole with the other hand, so that the other party's attention could be focused on the magnificent facility in the distance, "Very Amazing technology."

"I heard that it was originally born under the pressure of environmental protection, and this photovoltaic power station was developed in order to reduce pollution."

The commissioner thought for a while, and found a relatively high EQ expression to express his thoughts.

"Very...visionary."

"really."

Recalling the nuclear thermal rockets that went up and down in the atmosphere of Catus in the past, and thinking about the nuclear salt water rockets that were popular in the old days of Talalon, Hong showed an embarrassed but polite smile.

Yes, nuclear brine, level one.

When the old Catus was preparing for war, no matter how urgent the situation was, they were not so frenzied as to use nuclear thermal rockets as the first stage—at least before the population declined sharply and the red (weak artificial intelligence era) fully took over the war, they still Used chemical rocket ground stage for quite some time.

Although this has a lot to do with the relatively low thrust of the nuclear thermal rocket and the low efficiency of the first stage, at least from the results, even when it was time to fight aliens to the death, the old Catus did not do it. There's been a case of launching a nuclear-powered rocket from the ground.

However, these seemingly soft and cute old Jeffreys have done something that even the current Hong dare not do - let the nuclear salt water rocket with huge nuclear pollution be the ground stage.

"You know, after listening to your scientist's explanation, the human technical officials at that time had a very wonderful expression on their faces."

Although Hong didn't show her the video she kept out of politeness, there is no problem in dictating it.

Anyway, it's not something that needs to be kept secret. If the commissioner wants to know, he can find out by just asking around. After all, there are many people who can chat and joke with Hong. There are many sand sculpture netizens, but some A person who has the qualifications to go all out to find celebrities, and is in charge of diplomatic and political meetings, his status in the alliance is absolutely impossible to be low.

Even if it's just chatting—or rather, the status of someone who can apply for her to come to chat with her instead of reporting on business matters should be higher.

Although Hong didn't know her specific identity, but based on her usual experience, the commissioner who comes so often and looks familiar should at least be a candidate for the future minister of a certain core department.

"They think we're too crazy, we think they're too conservative, it's normal."

She spread her hands, looking helpless.

"No matter what their ideas are, at least their products are good." Hong brought the topic back to the photovoltaic power station under construction in the distance, "After all the technology is localized, about 90% of the The performance is still quite impressive.”

"Is it that high?"

The other party looked quite surprised. According to Hong's analysis, this look didn't look like a fake, but genuine surprise.

So, it seems that it is not a department such as the Science and Technology Supervision Committee, maybe the Department of Energy or Spatial Planning?

Hong secretly guessed in her heart.

Although she knows that as long as she asks, let alone which department should be notified, she can ask exactly what style of underwear the other party is wearing today, but as an adjustment for her daily life, she still I really like the feeling of deducing the truth through the details.

Speaking of which, if she really wanted to ask about the underpants, she felt that she would be at a disadvantage—after all, the other party was a red chef who had been discovered by Hong.

Moreover, although the other party looked very normal and acted very safely, in fact, she had been seen through by Hong long ago.

Like the CEO who thinks he's hiding it well, they're all crooked Red Chefs—or in short, perverts.

Of course, even though she is a pervert, she is still hopeless, but considering her good looks, she is willing to treat old women equally and give them a gentle light even if they don't fit her sexuality.

Like a star that shines on all things.

I don't know why, but in Hong's script, she should be a majestic and tall image, cultivating a large group of high-ranking officials in the alliance who follow her ideological program, but in practice, she is There was a slight deviation.

Well, it’s only a little bit. After all, judging from the results, it’s pretty much the same—at least the goal has been achieved. Today’s alliance is indeed following her will, even going further than she imagined, and has begun to voluntarily and actively carry out surrendered.

Although the motives were not right, but since the result was good, then Hong let them go, just like letting her own naughty children—in this respect, she still thinks she is very motherly.

Of course, it is still incomparable to his own cub.

Aside from other things, the cubs can really reach out and stick to each other, unlike the Alliance people who shout "I will always like Miss Hong!" on the Internet every day, but only dare to promise when they meet each other in reality Say "Hello, Your Excellency Red".

"With our technology, a photovoltaic power station with a length of 20 kilometers, a width of 10 kilometers, and a mass of 15 tons can generate power of 100 gigawatts on the Katus track, and about 90 gigawatts on the Talalong track. watts, which is equivalent to the combined power of the main reactors of four single pusher-class battleships."

"Although its mass is 15 tons, which is dozens of times that of fusion reactors of the same level, as a photovoltaic power station that relies entirely on the light energy of stars to generate electricity, it does not need to consume expensive fusion fuel, nor does it need to use a huge heat dissipation array, During the entire working period, except for the maintenance of a few damaged parts, there is basically no need for any additional expenditure, and it can be considered that the cost tends to zero."

Hong showed her his electronic board, which clearly marked all the key data of this photovoltaic power plant.

"Its electric energy will be converted into microwaves to the ground through a 1000-meter antenna, or any large orbital facility with a dipole power receiving antenna. Depending on the target, the transmission efficiency will fluctuate between 60% and 80%."

"According to my test, the power transfer efficiency to the ground of Katus can reach about 72%, that is to say, it can provide about 70 gigawatts of stable power to the ground."

"Is it stable?"

Miss Commissioner was puzzled.

"Very stable." Hong changed a more serious posture, so that the other party would pay more attention to the power station instead of herself, "I will only be covered by the planet itself twice a year, and each time is less than 90 minutes. It can generate electricity 7×48 hours at other times.”

"It feels really good."

She nodded thoughtfully.

"Contrary to what we have demonstrated, the photovoltaic panels laid on the surface of the planet are different. Although the cost in space is much higher, correspondingly, there is no cloud cover in space, and it is not affected by the weather. The power generation efficiency will not be affected by the rotation of the planet. reduce, and will not lose power generation capacity due to darkness."

Hong explained a little.

"There are no unstable factors. The power generation is only affected by the distance from the stars, and will not cause additional pressure on the grid regulation. It is a perfect means of civilian power generation."

"Of course, it's not completely impossible for military use. As long as the area is controlled, it's no problem to use it to supply military spaceports with daily energy, and it can save a lot of fuel consumption."

"It feels pretty good." She did a rough calculation in her head, but she didn't find any problems—in fact, it was impossible for her to find out, after all, Hong is a serious mechanical intelligence, with calculations endorsed by supercomputers, it is almost impossible to appear Such a low-level mistake, "Then why didn't we use this technology before? We didn't even go the way of photovoltaic power generation."

However, before Hong could answer, she thought of the answer by herself.

"Because our two civilizations have just pointed out controllable nuclear fusion not long after they went to heaven."

Red sighed slightly, and replied like this.

"Also, according to my understanding, human computer technology is not quite the same as ours."

"What's the difference?"

"They're using silicon chips."

"Oh yes." She suddenly realized, "These two things are considered to be on the same technology tree."

Although strictly speaking, there are not many similarities between the two except that they both use silicon, not to mention that photovoltaic cells do not have to use silicon materials, but this does not prevent some connections between the two.

It is very simple and easy to understand. When a civilization does not take the path of silicon chips, but chooses the road of carbon chips, which is more difficult but has higher potential, they lose a large part of the motivation to develop silicon materials— ——If this civilization has not embarked on the path of photovoltaic power generation, this little remaining power will have to be cut again.

The combination of these two factors has led to both the red and the alliance's development of silicon being very shallow, far inferior to human civilization-however, this is not a unilateral advantage. In terms of the development level of carbon chips and related technologies, Human beings are also unmatched.

"Understood." She nodded, "I will report to my superiors."

Although she is a distorted red chef, she is quite reliable when doing her job, at least half of her job.

This can be regarded as a collective characteristic of modern Union people. Although they all look weird in daily life, and some people are so weird that they can make Hong say "You have a weird sexual fetish", but When it comes to business, they are still very reliable.
