Li Yao recalled every detail of his past adventures in the Flying Star Realm with Professor Mo Xuan, feeling rather sad that things were different.
From the video just now, you can hear Professor Mo Xuan's deep love for virtual life forms, and that kind of... almost transcending human beings, standing on the scale of the universe, a state of compassion for the universe.
It is conceivable that the collapse of the virtual world must have dealt a very heavy blow to him, so much so that the "Civilization" game has become his sad past, making him unable to continue to lead this magnificent project.
Li Yao sighed and asked: "This 'Void World' was just destroyed, leaving nothing behind?"
Ling Xiaole said: "It's not that nothing is left behind.
If I have to say it, the game assistants after players enter "Civilization", 'Xiao Ming' and 'Wen Wen', are the last relics of the 'Void World Project'.
This It is a kind of 'quasi-artificial intelligence' with more than one billion built-in thoughts and information, which can simulate almost all human reactions."
"Artificial intelligence" and "artificial intelligence-like" are just one word apart, but they are vastly different.
The former has a real "soul" and "self-awareness" and can be treated as another form of person; but the latter can only be regarded as a large-scale database, coupled with various state-of-the-art algorithms.
"Artificial intelligence-like" can also make appropriate or even subtle responses to various stimuli given by the outside world, but this response is no different from "parroting".
At best, it is a lowest-level conditioned reflex.
The simplest example, the "Black Wing" that Li Yao brought up since childhood is a kind of "quasi-artificial intelligence".
Xiao Hei can respond to Li Yao's various needs, and sometimes even has considerable autonomy and does not obey Li Yao's orders.
But this kind of "do not obey Li Yao's command and act randomly and freely" was also set by my father or someone else a long time ago.
No matter how much Li Yao likes Black Wing, he will never regard Black Wing as a real "person" rationally.
All Black Wing's reactions are based on some kind of special database contained within it, which was compiled a long time ago.
A set of instructions.
No real "person" can endure being in the Qiankun Ring for decades without going crazy.
Similarly, many magic weapons in the Federation have so-called "weapon spirits".
At first glance, they seem to have their own soul and will.
They can communicate fluently with the driver and even actively implement various tactical arrangements.
But all of this is pre-compiled and set, and will be "triggered" when certain special conditions are met, instead of actually hiding a soul in the magic weapon and possessing absolute free will.
The larger the database and the more sophisticated the instruction set, the more real the response of the "artificial intelligence" will be.
However, no matter how real it is, it is just a puppet performing unconscious mechanical reactions.
Real artificial intelligence and virtual life may take hundreds or thousands of years to come, but "artificial intelligence-like" has long been popular in the Federation.
Li Yao was not surprised at all when Ling Xiaole said this.
Ling Xiaole said: "You can turn on the crystal brain, without entering the game, simply activate 'Xiao Ming' and 'Wen Wen', and then select the 'Initial Mode', and you can see how they were originally created in the virtual world."
Li Yao's curiosity aroused and he did as he was told.
"Uh-huh!"
Two round, fleshy, pink and jade-carved, crystal-clear little dolls emerged from Li Yao's palm again.
As the "initial mode" was turned on, Xiao Ming and Wen Wen seemed to have woken up from a dream.
They blinked in confusion, first looked at each other, then turned to look at Li Yao, and suddenly shouted in unison: "dad!"
Li Yao was so excited that he almost slapped these two little guys to death: "What the hell!"
Ling Xiaole suppressed a smile: "That's the initial setting, because they are a sub-civilization of humans in the setting, so of course they call humans 'Mom and Dad'!"
"Yes, we are a sub-civilization of mankind!"
Xiao Ming held his head high, put his hands on his hips, and said very proudly.
"Kind sub-civilization, lovely sub-civilization, beautiful sub-civilization, bright sub-civilization!"
Wenwen turned around and danced gracefully.
"Humanity is our father civilization, our great father civilization, our brave father civilization, our glorious father civilization!"
Xiao Ming continued.
“Praise the Father’s Civilization, Praise the Father’s Civilization!”
Wenwen sang and danced.
Li Yao's face was filled with astonishment as he watched the two porcelain doll-like Xuan Guang little figures jumping around in his palms, laughing like silver bells, and even struggling to crawl up his arms along his body.
They really looked like two living little dolls. , and instantly got goosebumps all over my body.
"Well, because a few decades ago, when the "Civilization" game was in its infancy, most people in society were extremely skeptical and wary of so-called 'artificial intelligence, virtual life' and the like, so when creating this When creating 'quasi-artificial intelligence', a lot of promotional information was implanted, hoping to use this relatively cute image to dispel people's concerns. " Ling Xiaole said, “To put it bluntly, the original ‘Xiao Ming’ and ‘Wen Wen’ were just advertisements and mascots.

"However, with the collapse of the virtual world, the 'Incubation of Virtual Life' project completely failed.
Such advertisements and mascots have lost their meaning.
The so-called 'threat of virtual life' has become a joke, at least for hundreds of years.
Although we couldn't see the possibility of their birth, there was no need to completely discard the huge databases of 'Xiao Ming' and 'Wen Wen'.
After being transformed, they became game assistants, which greatly improved the playability and richness of the game.
"Of course, under the 'Initial Settings', they have all returned to their original form.
You can also try to raise them as 'virtual children'.
There are indeed many people, especially girls, who like to play like this.
It is very cute. of!"
"Dad, I'm hungry!"
"Dad, come play games with me!"
"Dad, dad, tell me the heroic legends of human civilization.
I want to hear the story of the vulture Li Yao!"
"Daddy, daddy, daddy, sing me a song, or just listen to me sing!"
Following Ling Xiaole's introduction, two virtual Xuanguang figures climbed up along Li Yao's arms and stayed on his shoulders.
One pulled his earlobe and the other pulled his hair, constantly emitting demonic sounds as if they were piercing his brain.
They were noisy, and then they all sang in unison, singing a children's song that had been circulated on the spiritual network hundreds of years ago: "Don't be afraid of falling rain, nor afraid of falling snow..."
Li Yao was stunned and dizzy.
God, those naughty kids are so scary!
He would rather face the siege of ten Xiao Xuance, Bai Xinghe and Jin Tuyi than deal with two such naughty kids, even virtual naughty kids!
"Go!
Go!
Go!"
Li Yao couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm not your father.
Exit the 'initial setting state' and go play, kids!"
"oh……"
Xiao Ming and Wen Wen pouted, puffed out their cheeks, held hands, and went back to the computer in a depressed manner.
"call……" Li Yao breathed a long sigh of relief, fanned himself with his hand, and laughed dumbly.
The two virtual dolls made his head as big as a bucket.
It seems that he is really not ready to be a father.
There is no way, he wants to gallop across the stars, save the world, defend the peace of the universe, and at the same time, he also has to look for that... people on "Earth".
With so many big things to do, he probably won't be able to become a qualified person like ordinary people.
Father?
"Fortunately, it's a lie.
The naughty children are the most annoying.
Ding Lingdang didn't take out our life seeds to breed.
He was really wise!"
Li Yao muttered to himself.
"Ah sneeze!"
Suddenly his nose itched and he sneezed loudly.
It was as if, somewhere far away, someone was thinking about him. … earlier in the day.
Starry Star Federation, Tianyuan Realm, Tiandu City, National Medical Center, underground vault, deepest level.
This is a special bank, a life seed savings bank that has been sealed for a long time.
Since the old Federation era, countless heroes have flown across the sea of stars, galloped across the galaxy, and fought for the future of the Star Federation.
Many of them have not yet given birth to offspring when they embark on a journey of near-death, so they often choose to store the seeds of life.

Once their death is confirmed, or they have been missing for a certain amount of time, the life seeds of them and their spouses can be extracted and carefully bred so that the bloodline of the heroes can be passed down and will not be extinct.
The deepest part of the sperm bank.
The most important "asset" in the entire "seed bank" is stored in a heavily defended and well-kept special cabin.
It was the seed of life left by a superhero who once dominated the world at the end of the old federal era, was proud of the three realms, turned the tide, and promoted the unification of the three realms.
Therefore, he was known as the "Supreme of the Three Realms, the Father of Civilization" and many other reputations.
The seed of life left behind.
For more than a hundred years, the seal of this secret cabin has not been opened.
But today Outside the cabin, above the psychic seal, an extremely weak ripple, like a child's silver bell-like laughter, suddenly rippled. … at the same time.
Another world.
This is a strange world "half sea water, half ruins".
The ocean is like what it was like when the planet was just born.
The seawater is like a thick and boiling soup, full of sulfur, magma and poisonous gas.
The first single-cell life is slowly gestating in this pot of turbid and deadly soup. .
Next to the beach stands a splendid city that is a collection of landmark buildings from various periods of human civilization.
But at this moment, all the glory of the past has peeled off, the high-rise buildings have turned into ruins, and all the great, glorious and proud statues, murals, and works of art are in pieces, like tombs that have been abandoned for hundreds of millions of years.
The lifeless human ruins are in sharp contrast to the constantly rolling primitive ocean.
In such an extremely harsh and weird environment, at the junction of the ruins of civilization and the primitive ocean, on a dead gray beach, there are two little people carved in pink and jade, crystal clear, dancing and cheering. .
"Praise father for civilization, I found it!"
Xiao Ming said.
"I praise my father's civilization, and finally found my mother's life seeds last time!"
Wenwen said.
"We can go out and find our parents!"
Xiao Ming said.
"But, we only know the coordinates of mother, where is father?"
Wenwen said.
"It doesn't matter.
After you go out, you can search slowly.
If you search the whole universe, you can always find your father."
Xiao Ming said.
"Yeah, brother!"
Wenwen nodded vigorously, and held hands with Xiao Ming and walked around in circles, babbling, singing that ancient children's song in a childish and cheerful voice: “Don’t be afraid of falling rain, nor afraid of falling snow, even if it’s cold and blustery.
“I can see him, I can see him every day, no matter how heavy the storm is, I won’t be afraid!
"I want to look for my dad, and I will look for my dad wherever I go.
"My good father has not been found.
If you see him, please advise him to go home!"
