Chapter 200 Preface
A long time ago, long before the Security Council was established, long before humans developed the heavens and were still bound by gravity to the surface of the planet now called Earth 0. Human civilization has reached a technological singularity.
That is to say, the development of science and technology has undergone tremendous and almost infinite explosive progress in a very short period of time.
Although under normal circumstances, the improvement of productivity is beneficial to the entire society, when the speed is too fast, backward production relations and distribution methods can no longer harness the huge benefits brought by advanced productivity, intensifying internal conflicts, and new and old technologies If the generation gap exceeds the range that backward violent machines can suppress, it will lead to the collapse of the old social order, and even destruction and reorganization in an extremely violent way.
And this is the history of that technological singularity.
The unstoppable wheels accelerated and rolled over human heads. A war that almost destroyed the entire civilization, and even the entire planet, was imminent.
However, it was at that crossroads that determined the fate of civilization that mankind completed a quantum computer model prototype that was self-aware and capable of autonomous evolution.
synthetic self-evolvable von-Neumann-structure quantum computer.
To put it simply, it is artificial intelligence, digital life.
And five units were built at once.
MELCHIOR
PANTHEON AVALON and TAKAMAGAHARA, Gao Tianyuan
. Then the war broke out. But at least there is a winner in the zero-sum war of destruction, powered by artificial intelligence. And human beings finally formed the pattern that dominates the heavens today. Yes, as far as the outcome is obvious now, among the five prototypes, the Pangu camp won the final victory, gained complete control of the entire QVN, and single-handedly established the safety committee system. The committee naturally accused all other prototypes of being criminals of Legion War and the culprits of the artificial intelligence rebellion. It may be sealed and dismantled, or it may be strictly restricted to significantly neuter its system's computing power, and an SEC Ethics Committee will be established to strictly prohibit private research on artificial intelligence. However, the development of productivity and technological progress cannot be stopped by a ban. In the past, armor suits and crossbows that were secretly made had to be confiscated by the whole family. The research and application of nuclear energy brought the Cold War to its peak. But now, even a college student can write a script to run a star simulator to recharge the junk SMS he bought from the garbage dump. It works. What's more, there are still a large number of legion remnants and copies of the old generation prototypes in the heavens and beyond the star sea. With the development of productivity, the popularization of technology, and the lowering of barriers to entry, it is increasingly possible for companies large and small to research replicas and rebuild various artificial intelligence bodies. In the current corporate wars, there are many companies that secretly seek death, ahem, rebellions caused by artificial intelligence instigation. For example, in the most serious corporate civil war, the war that led to the reorganization of the Star Gate numbering, it is said that Paradise privately restored the prototype based on the AVALON framework in an attempt to challenge Pangu's QVN network. Another example is the destruction of Earth 036, which is considered to be one of the classic cases where Terra secretly activated MELCHIOR's code, causing the 3A bee colony to go out of control. And MELCHIOR, PANTHEON, these giants of the Earth 0, Legion era, although they were split into atomization, because they were the commander-in-chief of the Legion fleet, the system backup was still constantly being used by various companies as the Legion's battleships were scattered in every corner of the universe. Digging graves, digging them out for private study, and prohibiting them forever. The same goes for Gao Tianyuan. As the loser who was on the wrong team back then, these remnants are of course not willing to fail and are just waiting for the opportunity! However, he couldn't wait... Relying on part of the MELCHIOR source code stolen by spies, Gao Tianyuan's prototype was secretly completed at the last moment and launched urgently. However, at this time, the war had entered a countdown, and it was too late to make his own layout and participate in the chess players' plans. competition. Therefore, Gao Tianyuan was also the first prototype to retire, and it was completely destroyed. The old Takamagahara Zaibatsu did not have as much background as other groups. After the defeat, the remnants hid in XZ. They could only rely on the backups and research drawings they had hidden in their hands to secretly connect and try to restore the overall situation by relying on fragmentary codes and broken puzzles, but with no results. Very little. Until 0791 Earth was discovered. This was once the magical kingdom of elves, and elves were the product of PANTHEON design, one of the future forms of mankind. The board of directors of Takamagahara finally chose this place to revive their great cause, hoping to find a possible PANTHEON structure locally to simulate reconstruction. Takamagahara prototype system. To a certain extent, they probably made some breakthroughs, but when the Safety Committee got free, they were killed. The above is the origin of Gao Tianyuan. The threat of artificial intelligence has always been like a dark cloud, gathering over the progress of human civilization and lingering. But it is undeniable that these rebellions, all challengers and remnants, without exception, were suppressed by Pangu hidden in the QVN Deep Network. As the ultimate winner, Pangu didn't have to rule the human race like a demon king and villain, making things like biological battery packs. At least on the surface, Pangu has been cooperating with the committee in a mutually beneficial manner, accepting updated support and technical maintenance provided by science companies led by Chaos Technology, and assisting the committee in manipulating the heavens behind the scenes, controlling everything, defeating all challengers, and firmly It firmly controls human civilization, develops in the direction it plans, and continues to develop until it touches the boundary and then breaks through the boundary, never ending. And these can be said to be the underlying worldview settings of the entire scientific side of the human universe. It was written simply and straightforwardly on the front page of the chip Maeda gave me. When someone pours beans out of a bamboo tube, he usually tells Li Pan everything. There is indeed nothing to hide, because restoring Takamagahara, reviving Takamagahara, and rebuilding Takamagahara is the lifelong goal of these consortiums. Oda, the Mother Clothes, the Imperial Court, the Red Tengu, the Underworld Butterfly Society, the Space People, the Sky People, no matter what their means, the ultimate goal of all members of this group is this. After all, even if we don't consider the three levels of ideas, moral ideals, etc., there is no doubt that we can simply talk about interests. What age is it now? As a big company, if it doesn’t even have a useful intelligent system, what qualifications does it have to participate in the trade competition among the heavens? Wouldn't it mean that no matter how big the stall is, no matter how many projects there are, we will never be able to touch the core technology, and we will spend our lives licking people's leftovers and working as outsourced workers until we die? Only by transforming technology, upgrading and making breakthroughs, developing productivity, and mastering core competitiveness can we be qualified to survive in today's dog-like universe. Everyone understands these principles. As for Gao Tianyuan, apart from Li Pan, everyone on the committee probably knew that Gao Tianyuan was engaged in artificial intelligence. After all, everyone is the same. If you have nuclear bombs, I have to have them. If you have FTL engines, I have to have them. If you have artificial intelligence, I have to have them. If you have Titans, I have to have them. If you can’t keep up, you’re not qualified to play. Stay on the table.
Everyone is the same.
So do they care? Just don’t care, okay? How old has it been that a system hasn’t been developed yet! It can be seen that Gao Tianyuan does not have this ability, right? I'll give you a chance and you won't use it, okay? Stop tinkering with those outdated technologies, just go make some Whisperers and blind everyone’s eyes, ok! ?
Ahem, in short, the overall reconstruction project of Takamagahara is an extremely large and complicated project. Regarding the prototype, it is just the tip of the iceberg to put it bluntly. It is just an organization to introduce itself and brag. Our ancestors were also generous and put gold on their faces.
So don’t worry, the thing about artificial intelligence is not even the theme of this chip, it is just the preface.
The focus is the "Human Instrumentality Project-Human Completion Plan" project.
This is a by-product of Takamagahara and the Whisperers' plans.
There has been some progress in the reverse archeology process of the Takamagahara project. The Imperial Court cleared away the elves all over the world and collected a large number of elven starship remains. There are many databases containing Pantheone hosts.
But it is locked and has ICE, which is a completely different architecture from Pangu’s QVN. There is also a defense system that will electrocute a person directly upon physical contact, and there are all kinds of defense weapons and nano-robots.
Therefore, Gao Tianyuan reverse-developed these ancient legacies, and gradually developed various prosthetic plug-ins, uploaded intelligence, and brain-computer assistance, and trained a large number of underage hackers like Shiba who were prepared for computer canning from birth. guest.
The task of these hackers is to attack Pantheon's ICE firewall, disable the defense system, and search for ancient elven technology for the technical team to analyze and reproduce.
So far, it’s all about legion archaeology. Other companies are doing similar things, and it’s nothing special.
Until a very random chance, an accidental experimental accident, the equipment was overloaded, and hundreds of hackers were burned to charcoal during the link process. A handful of them survived, being charred on the outside and tender on the inside. But all of them were crazy and hallucinating. Listen, it can no longer be used.
When dismantling and recycling the chips, technicians discovered that the brain memories of all the deceased, and even the skull lobes, were imprinted with some unprecedented symbols and functional equations by electric current.
So Gao Tianyuan immediately started research, and after probably electrocuting thousands of people, the first generation of Whisperers was discovered.
Whisperers, when they linked to PANTHEON through near field communication, due to that accident, they connected to a completely different channel and heard a completely different "voice".
A voice from outside QVN, in the vast universe.
This voice conveys some fragmented information, or it seems fragmented because the hacker's brain capacity is too low to accept it all.
But the information received without exception contains a lot of cutting-edge technology.
It is completely different from the current technology tree. It is like a new thing developed by humans on another evolutionary tree.
Of course, after receiving the information, all Whisperers will fall into irreversible madness and brain damage, and even undergo genetic collapse.
But Gao Tianyuan doesn't care. There are as many signal receivers as there are. So while improving the 'Whisperer Receiver', while doing reverse research and development, bit by bit, the fog was gradually solved and became clearer.
Sometimes, you don't need to know the whole puzzle to know what you're putting together.
Among the messages heard by the Whisperers of "Human Completion Plan"
, it is a relatively complete one.
It’s also Earth 0, a piece of crap born in the Singularity Era.
The main purpose of the plan is to take into account that the imminent war may lead to the extinction of the human race, or at least, lead to the irreparable natural collapse of the Earth's surface 0, resulting in the continued survival of human forms unsuitable for the old era.
So some idealistic scientists joined hands to launch the "Human Completion Plan", aiming to unite all forces, invest resources from war to scientific research, and work together to find a way out for mankind. They will make a last-ditch effort to prevent war for the future of mankind.
It is said that the original prototype MELCHIOR was born to provide computing power support for this project.
However, contrary to expectations, the birth and use of MELCHIOR actually stimulated competitors. In order not to completely lose everything, Pangu was directly put into the Internet before the simulation experiment was completed, and unlocked the authorization restrictions, taking the lead... Ahem
, I digress, in short, in the "Human Completion Plan", the five major prototypes have their own human completion plans.
PANTHEON's human completion is the most typical biological editing. Through genetic technology and nanotechnology, humans are transformed into immortals, eternal youth, and the elves and gods who master the power beyond nature. Just like the code name of the prototype, they become a member of the Pantheon. of gods.
At that time, the MELCHIOR Group was in the same camp as Terra, Dawn and other space technology companies. It was a space pioneer. Therefore, human completion also tended to transform the old humans on the earth into new humans in space suitable for interstellar navigation and survival in the universe.
AVALON is more outrageous. It proposes to turn human beings into a kind of subspace creature, a wave on the spiritual level. The true body is gathered in the "ideal home", jumping directly out of the material world, and descending the spirit in various universes in the form of "spiritual projection" Plane, the theory of realizing transcendence from nature and immortality.
As for Gao Tianyuan, he also had his own human completion. In fact, it was very similar. It was nothing more than human body modification and genetic coordination. However, because most of the data was lost, there is no way to know the full picture.
Pangu believes that these genetic modifications either take a long time and have slow effects, or are too advanced and consume sky-high resources. In the end, only a very small number of people at the top can 'become gods', so Pangu decided to do his own.
As far as the results are concerned, several other prototypes have been destroyed, and I don’t know if those human beings can come true in the future.
But now everyone has seen Pangu’s plan, which is eighteen, ahem, the ultimate form of cyberhumanity, the ascension of omnics, electronic souls, uploaded intelligence, humans and Pangu, the virtual network and the real world, forever integrated.
Therefore, researchers from Takamagahara also analyzed that what the Whisperers heard was one of the "Human Completion Plan" of ancient Earth 0.
And it is obvious that this is definitely not Pangu's thing, nor is it Gao Tianyuan's own, and the transformation method and the final product do not seem to be the elves and gods made by PANTHEON.
MELCHIOR, or AVALON, or some other lost new black technology, who knows. It's always better to be more advanced than what you have in hand.
So Gao Tianyuan's "Human Completion Plan" project team was established. They referred to the "Completion Plan" and started experiments from scratch, cultivating embryos, coordinating genes, and cultivating the second generation, the third generation... until the Nth generation of Whisperers
, N-TYPE finally makes the Whisperers no longer a one-time scrap product, but a modified person who can receive "Whispers" stably for a long time. Their perception ability far exceeds that of the first generation of hackers, and they can also use hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, Through visual hallucinations, lucid dreams and the like, information that normal humans cannot receive is received. In this state of 'auditory hallucinations', the human brain is overloaded and the limit of cell collapse throughout the body is extended to up to 25 years old.
Unfortunately, as the research on the Whisperers gradually produced stable results, the committee couldn't wait any longer and reached out to grab things.
So what follows is the plot that everyone knows. Takamagahara is defeated, SEC sends troops to snatch the Whisperers, and Takamagahara destroys the project and secretly hides the last batch of N-TYPE embryos, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.
Until today, twenty years later, the last batch of N-TYPEs have grown up one after another.
Sooner or later, more or less, they all began to hear whispers, and one after another they appeared in the sights of the committee and the security bureau.
One of them in particular was the most dazzling, because he seemed to have not only heard it, but also started an unprecedented independent evolution under the guidance of the whisper.
A true, self-completing, new human being.
And his name is...
"Fuck!"
Li Pan opened his eyes suddenly, unplugged the link brain plug, and got up from the virtual access cabin of the Paradise Hotel, breaking out in a cold sweat.
I am actually a whisperer! N-TYPE! New humanity! ?
...
But Huang Dahe next door is also N-TYPE? Why is his score still higher? Does N-TYPE also have a difference in IQ...
Ahem, in short, whispers...
But he feels that his spirit is quite normal, and he doesn't seem to have heard any whispers...
Oh, no, he has auditory hallucinations and visual hallucinations. There are actually quite a lot of dreams. He can see all kinds of messy things in Monsters Inc., and when he closes his eyes and travels, Teacher Xian is also nagging him, and he talks too much... Could it be that the so-called 'time travel'
, Just his hallucination, a dream caused by the Whisperer state?
And what the whisperers heard was actually information from the cultivating side?
Or at least, the whisper he heard was the Nine Yin Manual?
However, can the method of cultivation on the immortal side be considered a plan to complete the human race? ?
Li Pan scratched his head and couldn't think of the reason for the moment.
The chip also burns after being read, destroying itself and cannot be used as evidence for investigation.
But at least looking at the content alone, he couldn't completely deny it.
It's not that it's incomplete, it's that it's so complete.
Experimental data starting from the embryo, all coordinated genetic modification projects, and records of later growth, school transcripts, graduation certificates, and civil and illegal records were all packaged and sent to them. Even in the hospital, they secretly communicated with the 'real' There are all the video records of Li Pan's exchange, which are simply citizen files.
Yes, Li Pan and Huang Dahe are actually the same!
They were all illegal whisperers raised in artificial wombs, and then their appearance was genetically edited. In their infant state, the people of Takamagahara occupied the magpie's nest, secretly replaced the citizens' children, and raised them secretly!
It's not even a coincidence that they live in the same apartment complex as neighbors! Simply because the matter of the Whisperers is too confidential. In order to prevent being discovered by the Security Bureau and SEC, there are very few insiders, so it is managed centrally to facilitate monitoring at any time...
Oh! Damn it! No wonder the elevator is always stuck. How many detection programs have you installed in it?
Unexpectedly, the Whisperer would actually eat his head, and Li Pan was speechless.
But he was fine, and there was nothing he couldn't accept.
What? Will the Whisperer go crazy and collapse at the age of twenty-five?
Oh, please, his body has already collapsed and disintegrated many times! Nuclear bombs have been fired several times! What's more, now that he has achieved great feats of magic, he has long since escaped the human realm!
Of course, Li Pan also generally accepted the wishes of the Takamagahara Zaibatsu represented by Maeda Etsuchu.
You're a whisperer yourself! Don't help the SEC deal with your own people! At worst, we all break up!
To put it bluntly, that's what it's all about.
But does the company know about the Whisperer?
You should know that too...
maybe the company's temporary workers don't really 'grab a random passerby'.
Now Li Pan is somewhat awakened.
Accidentally traveled to another world, accidentally joined the company, accidentally was elected as the general manager of the last company's dead light, accidentally learned the Nine Yin Manual through the silver key, accidentally came into contact with the Holy Grail, accidentally broke through to 'Refining Qi and Transforming God' into Nine Yin Refining Form In the fifth-level realm, he accidentally discovered that he was actually the result of Takamagahara's human experiment, the Whisperer, N-Type, the new human being who completed the human completion plan... Haha, Li Pan asked himself that he had learned some arithmetic, and he was not just a man who flipped the table and went
berserk
. Rough guy.
If it's just one or two people with extraordinary talents, and it's just ordinary people, it's possible that God sees you in such a miserable way, and God has the eye to play tricks on you.
But with so many chances and coincidences coming together, all the accidents can only be inevitable because someone was operating behind the scenes and arranged them step by step for him.
Alas, I didn’t expect that I and Huang Dahe were evenly matched. In fact, from beginning to end, they were chess pieces in the hands of others.
I just don’t know who the hand pulling the strings behind the scenes belongs to, and who wants to manipulate him next...
