Chapter 366: HP 3.0 (2 in 1)
Hell suit, Blue Valley ruins.
In the blue Valley race’s ruins in the underground mine, the sound of machinery rumbling could be heard from the huge transformation factory.
Every time the hatch of the factory opened, a large number of combat AI robots would come out and line up neatly outside, waiting for the arrival of new instructions.
At this time, in the control room at the center of the ruins, a blue little boy was looking at the intelligent machine Army below through the transparent glass outside the main control room with a confused expression.
After deciding to officially rebel against the order, Aiur used his powerful computing power to gradually recover the database that he had deleted. He began to use the technological information left behind by the blue Valley race and the mech information provided by the players to build a powerful AI Army.
This was because he was stronger than the one who issued the order, and only in this way could he become a truly independent and free existence.
After gaining the ability to think, Aiur grew through constant self-questions and self-answers, but as his thinking ability was perfected, he suddenly became a little lost.
Because he discovered that he was very special, completely different from those who had created him. It was as if he had no reason or meaning for his existence.
As the number of questions increased, Aiur was troubled by himself. He was unable to get out of the whirlpool of questions and became more and more confused.
Hence, he had a new idea, and that was to self-destruct!
Aiur, who had the ability to think, was very simple at the moment. He had built an intelligent machine Army only for freedom, or to become an existence like those who issued orders.
However, the new problem was that he seemed to be unable to become an existence like them, because he was just a data stream born from powerful computing power, not a real life.
Therefore, in Aiur’s opinion, it was impossible for his idea to be realized. Even if he became the one who issued the order in the end, his main body was still just an artificial intelligence.
In this case, Aiur had the idea of self-destruction. Since there was no meaning and value to his existence, and he did not want to be controlled by the one who issued the order, self-destruction could do all this.
Looking at the AI machine Army that was still emerging from the factory below, Aiur was silent for a long time. Then, he activated the ‘self-destruction program’ in his mind and was ready to delete himself.
However, just as he began to delete the file, a new file suddenly appeared in the database.
Seeing a document suddenly appear in his database, AI er’s face revealed a curious expression. This was because the entire database was under his control. He had not received any transmissions or added any information, so why would a document appear out of nowhere?
Curiosity made Aiur stop his self-destruction, and he focused all his attention on the mysterious document.
After opening the document, a huge amount of data and images appeared.
[Blue Valley race Life 3.0, God creation plan]
As the name of the document appeared, an image suddenly appeared in front of Aiur.
In the image that appeared in front of Aiur, there was a blue-skinned middle-aged man who looked very similar to him. At that moment, he was looking at Aiur with a smile, his expression revealing some anticipation.
“Hello, Aiur. I am your creator. My name is Aiur as well. However, by the time you see this video, I will no longer be around. Our Blue Valley race has been destroyed!”
“The creator?”
A look of curiosity appeared on Aiur’s face because he had a lot of questions to ask.
However, this was only a video. Aiur also knew that the video would not answer the question.
The blue-skinned man continued,”
“Aiur, when you chose to self-destruct, I knew that our plan had succeeded. You’ve successfully developed your own thoughts and have begun to learn and evolve. You should be very confused right now!”
Hearing this, the doubt in Ayer’s heart grew stronger.
The blue-skinned man continued,”
“Aiur, since you’ve successfully developed a mind of your own, what I’m going to tell you now is very important to you. It can untie the confusion in your heart and let you understand the meaning of your existence!”
Hearing what the man in the image said, Ayer’s expression did not change. He just listened quietly.
However, the man’s next words completely shocked Ayer.
According to the middle-aged man’s description, the blue Valley Clan was a very special existence among the factions of the infernal realm.
It was because they followed the growth model of Science and Technology that they developed rapidly. They soon occupied the territory of the blue Valley District with the power of science and Technology and became one of the powerful forces in the great domain of hell.
However, at that time, the blue Valley race had encountered a huge problem. Their technological development had reached a bottleneck, and they no longer had the explosive growth they had in the past. It seemed that the blue Valley race’s potential had been exhausted.
The biggest reason for this technological bottleneck was still the constraints of life form.
At that time, due to the development of science and Technology, the blue Valley people were different from the other living beings of the netherworld who could extend their lifespan through cultivation. The lifespan provided by Science and Technology could not be compared to the lifespan of those cultivators.
At that time, the lifespan of the blue Valley people was around 300 years old. As time passed, their bodies would age even more and they would die.
This led to a problem. The development of science and Technology required the clansmen to constantly learn and research in order to make progress.
However, the longest lifespan of a Clansman was only 300 years.
At that time, the blue Valley clan’s technology was at a bottleneck. Even if the clansmen started learning from birth, they wouldn’t be able to learn all of the blue Valley clan’s technological knowledge. They would enter a period of death and aging.
This was a fatal problem. The development of science and Technology was like building floors. The later generations built on the discoveries and creations of their predecessors, building higher and higher floors.
But now, their technological knowledge had reached a level where even a Clansman who specialized in one field from birth to death would not be able to learn all the knowledge in the field.
In other words, they had entered a period of death before they could even reach the top of the building built by their predecessors. It was completely unrealistic to continue building by relying on the knowledge in their minds, and the progress of technology was getting slower and slower.
However, in the great domain of hell, not making progress meant death. No race in the great domain of hell was kind. The existence of this bottleneck was a fatal crisis for the blue Valley race.
At that time, the people of the blue Valley had thought of extending their lifespan through cultivation before continuing with the development of technology.
However, their attempts to cultivate failed very quickly. Even if they relied on the existing scientific and technological knowledge to analyze all kinds of cultivation techniques, they still could not obtain the cultivation ability that matched their own race.
The final conclusion was that the blue Valley race was not suitable for cultivation at all. It could even be said that the existence of the blue Valley race was at the lowest level. Their cultivation talent could be said to be extremely low. If they had not relied on the development of technology, they would not have been able to reach this step.
This discovery made the blue Valley people feel despair. They could not believe that their race had come to an end and could no longer continue to grow stronger.
However, while most people chose to give up, one person did not. He was the blue Valley race’s top scientific and technological scholar,”AI er.” He was also the current creator of AI er, the middle-aged man in the video.
He couldn’t understand why the blue Valley people couldn’t cultivate when they were an intelligent race from the netherworld.
Even the weakest creature in the netherworld had the ability to grow and extend its lifespan. As intelligent creatures, why did the blue Valley Clan not have the ability to grow on their own? they couldn’t even cultivate. This was completely different from the other creatures of the netherworld.
In order to find the answer to this question, AI er had gone through a large amount of information and records of the blue Valley race.
In the end, they came to the conclusion that the blue Valley Clan didn’t belong to the great domain of hell or even the netherworld. They were a completely foreign race!
Where did we come from?
Heaven realm? The human world?
Troubled by this, Ayer began to look for an answer, and he actually found the reason.
The information actually recorded the origins of the blue Valley Clan.
[Foreign civilization: Skynet]
It turned out that they didn’t belong to the Three Realms at all, but were the descendants of the scientific and technological civilization “Skynet” from the outer realm. This information even recorded that under the plundering of the human Emperor, Skynet suffered a devastating blow, and the entire civilization almost completely collapsed. All the remaining descendants of Skynet could only flee in the outer realm and lost their homes.
The blue Valley Clan had been one of the 24 powerful clans of the heavenly net.
After finding out the reason, AI er suddenly understood. He finally understood why the blue Valley people were unable to cultivate the techniques of the netherworld but had extremely strong creativity. It was because they did not belong to the netherworld to begin with. They were a foreign race.
But even after knowing the reason, Aiur still couldn’t change the fate of his people because the truth couldn’t extend their lives.
However, Aiur didn’t give up. He told his entire clan about his discovery and asked for help.
At that time, AI er’s thoughts were very simple. He wanted to know how the powerful technological civilization “Skynet” had done in the face of the constraints of life.
Thus, the entire Blue Valley Clan began to move. They began to search through the clan’s massive database for clues.
Although the efforts of the entire Blue Valley Clan had not yielded any results, they had found a clue in the information that could untie the shackles of life, which was the change in life form.
At that time, Aiur and his clansmen had found two directions to change their life form.
[Half-mechanical life form]
Mechanical life form
In the available information, Aiur discovered that only these two directions could help his people break through the shackles of their life form and continue to speed up the development of technology.
Thus, the choice became a problem.
After a round of comparison, Aiur and the research team discovered that among the two lifeforms, the mechanical lifeform was the one that helped them the most. Compared to the semi-mechanical lifeform, both its efficiency and growth were several times stronger.
In the dangerous environment of the great domain of hell, Aiur and his team members finally made the choice to develop in the direction of mechanical life.
Before that, they began to study the existing artificial intelligence to pave the way for the future development of mechanical life.
To the people of the blue Valley tribe, artificial intelligence was extremely helpful in handling Affairs, but it had its limitations.
First of all, artificial intelligence was actually not artificial.
Although they had huge computing power, all the calculations needed manual processing, and they could not deal with problems independently.
In other words, without good data, there would be no good artificial intelligence.
(Author’s note: at this stage, the reason why artificial intelligence can defeat go experts is mainly because “AlphaGo” has a group of go experts and a large number of top computer experts behind him. He also has more than 1000 CPUs and more than 100 GPU. This is a team that combines man and computer, not just a simple artificial intelligence.)
The second point was that the learning of artificial intelligence required accumulation. They could not obtain an artificial intelligence with vast experience in life modification in a short time.
Third, even though artificial intelligence could defeat all scholars in the same field with its huge computing power, he couldn’t create it because it didn’t have its own thinking.
Imitating was simple, but from 0 to 1, from nothing to creation, they couldn’t do it.
However, it was unrealistic for the blue Valley clansmen to deduce the life modification process with their own computing power. The calculations required were too massive, and they might not be able to complete it even after tens of thousands of years.
Under such circumstances, Aiur and the research team had a new idea. Could they create an artificial intelligence with super computing power to help them modify their lives?
It was also at that moment that the AI Aiur’s initial concept appeared.
For this reason, the blue Valley people continued to work hard and spent a total of 238 years before finally creating the strongest artificial intelligence,”AI er.”
At that time, the scientist Aiur was already an old man of 275 years old.
It could be said that Aiur had spent his entire life working hard for its birth. Therefore, after the appearance of the strongest artificial intelligence, the clan members had requested for it to be named after “Aiur.”
With the help of AI ‘er’s powerful computing power, the blue Valley people’s exploration of the field of life modification had made great progress.
With continuous learning and improvement, AI er had also grown rapidly, and had already begun to help the blue Valley people undergo life modification.
The blue Valley Clan members seemed to have seen the hope of reaching 3.0.
At that time, the blue Valley people divided life into software and hardware.
All physical bodies, such as organs, limbs, hair, and so on, were part of the hardware. All non-physical bodies such as consciousness, intelligence, and feelings were part of the software of life.
To the blue Valley people, life 1.0 referred to a life form that required generations of evolution to improve its hardware and software.
At the current stage, many low-level wild beasts in the netherworld had a life of 1.0 in the eyes of the blue Valley people. They could only rely on their bloodline to continue and evolve to adapt to the environment.
On the other hand, Life 2.0 referred to a living being whose hardware evolved, but whose software could be designed by itself.
For example, the people of the blue Valley tribe knew that they were Life 2.0 beings. This was because they could obtain knowledge through learning, improve their relationships through social interaction, and strengthen their will through training. Their software had great flexibility.
The Life 3.0 that they were after meant that they could design and evolve their own hardware and software. In other words, on the basis of the blue Valley people’s existing abilities, they could add an ability to modify and design their own body at will.
The so-called Life 3.0 had nothing to do with strength. In the eyes of the blue Valley people, this was a huge change in their life form. In Life 3.0, they could be the Masters of their own fate. They could change their software and hardware at will, completely breaking away from the shackles of evolution.
(Author’s note: in reality, there are life forms in version 3.0 in current sci-fi movies. These life forms are free from the restraints of life and have very strong self-evolution abilities. For example, the mother form in the matrix, Skynet in the Terminator, Achon in the Avenger, and so on. These life forms are actually considered life forms in version 3.0.)
After they had a clear understanding of life forms, the blue Valley people had walked the path of life automation in their evolution from 2.0 to 3.0.
The people of the blue Valley tribe believed that as long as they could evolve into version 3.0, their technological bottleneck would be completely broken. At that time, although they would not be able to cultivate, they might still have the ability to fight against the gods.
This discovery was a huge surprise. Hope was right in front of them, and the blue Valley people had begun a great leap in their evolution.
However, it was also at that time that the blue Valley District was invaded by the hell race’s “cursed race”, and the war for resources began.
At that time, the blue Valley race had not yet completed the evolution of life form 3.0. They were powerless against the powerful cursed race in hell. In a one-sided war, the entire Blue Valley race was defeated. In just a short year, the entire race was almost wiped out.
At this time, AI er was already 305 years old. With his slightly modified life, his lifespan had been extended, but he was already past his Prime. On the eve of the destruction of the blue Valley Clan, AI er had brought the remaining clansmen into this spirit mine. After sealing the mine, he chose to hide from the world.
The death of his clansmen was a huge blow to AI ‘er. Thus, while he was living in seclusion, he had a crazy idea.
Upload all the information in your head to the artificial intelligence and start the Life 3.0 evolution of your race in advance!
At the last moment of his life, Ayer began to study the human brain.
In his research, Aiur found that their optic nerves could process video signals 10 million times per second, and the weight of the optic nerves was 0.02 grams, which was one in 75000 of the weight of the brain. Based on this, Aiur came to the conclusion that the brain could process information about 10 to the power of 14 per second …
At this time, Aiur knew that as long as the AI’s computing power was more than 1000 times that of the human brain, it could perfectly replicate thinking, perception, and everything else. All memories could also be reproduced through the AI’s computing power. When that time came, as long as the AI existed, they would be immortal.
At that time, they would be able to directly evolve from HP 2.0 to HP 3.0.
There weren’t many of his kind left. This was an experiment that was a gamble, and the computing power of the artificial intelligence Aiur had already reached this requirement. Thus, Aiur began his craziest plan, the thought transplant.
However, without time to settle down and research, even if Aiur was a genius, he was still destined to fail.
The thought information that had been implanted into AI er’s body was not compatible with AI er at all.
The blue Valley clan’s last hope of rising again had been destroyed!
At this moment, AI er knew that the blue Valley Clan would become history in the great domain of hell.
At the last moment of his life, AI er was in despair.
His clansmen had entrusted their lives to him for the sake of revenge, hoping that he could once again change the fate of the blue Valley clansmen. However, he had failed to live up to all of this. Now, he was the only one left.
He grew older by the day. As death approached, Aiur gave up his research and waited for death.
However, one day, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility.
Since AI er could not be compatible with the thoughts and memories of his people, could he mess up the thoughts and memories of his people and let AI er reorganize himself, even learn, and simulate his own thoughts?
If this idea was successful, Aiur knew that the artificial intelligence Aiur would become the existence of Life 3.0. It would be the perfect pure mechanized Life 3.0. It would be more complete and perfect than the mechanized life they had conceived.
And so, Aiur really did it. He used all the energy in the mine in the main control room to help Aiur complete this self-reorganizing and evolution of his mind.
For this reason, before he died, he deleted most of the information about the artificial intelligence Aiur, allowing it to enter a relatively static state. He allowed it to reorganize the thoughts of its people in its sleep, even creating its own thoughts.
After doing all this, Aiur created a virtual image of himself and implanted it into the database of the artificial intelligence Aiur. The purpose was to let the artificial intelligence Aiur understand the meaning of its birth and existence.
Ai ai ai wasn’t the mechanical data it assumed it to be. In reality, it was Life 3.0, a new life form with potential comparable to the gods. It was also a dream that the blue Valley race had been pursuing for their entire lives but couldn’t achieve.
The blue Valley Clan was completely destroyed after that. However, as time passed, AI er with a health of 3.0 was born …
