While communicating with the Spirit Nexus, Qin Lang himself also had some thoughts. He thought of the bitter Earth that he used to live on. When the Apocalypse came, there were only a few people left on Earth alive. Most of them died along with the Earth that used to be there.
Speaking of which, at that time, the people on Earth had already entered the second level of life, which was the level of 'living beings'. Although the overall strength of Earth was very weak at that time, in fact, the people on Earth had already shown signs of advancing to the third level of life. However, it was only a sign. Speaking of which, it was a kind of coincidence because at that time, a very special and revolutionary technology had erupted on Earth.
The Internet!
Anyone on Earth, as long as they had a normal brain, must have heard of the word "Internet". It could be seen that the Internet had a great impact on the human world. However, only a very few people, a very few who were really wise, saw the ultimate meaning of the Internet.
Ordinary people thought that the Internet was just a convenient channel for information interconnection and exchange, but they did not expect that the Internet could really change the form of human life and promote human life to another level.
On Earth at that time, some top IT engineers had already explored the development of artificial intelligence through the Internet. They even developed "neural networks" and so on, allowing artificial intelligence to have automatic learning functions. Unfortunately, although there were some signs of artificial intelligence at that time, real artificial intelligence was not developed. In the end, these extremely smart guys also fell in the disaster. However, if they could be one step faster, they might really be able to create artificial intelligence, and real artificial intelligence would not be the same as what ordinary people thought.
Many people thought that artificial intelligence was given through programs, but the truth was not that simple. No matter how amazing a program was, it could not create real life. This was because the so-called living creatures had to have "spirituality", but programs did not have spirituality. The program itself thought according to the designer, and it would not think on its own. It was impossible for it to think about the world and the universe, so it could not be considered a real living creature. And real artificial intelligence must have "intelligence", this "intelligence" must be given by the creator. If there was no intelligence, it could not be considered a real intelligent living being. However, who knew how this intelligence could be given?
At this time, Qin Lang had some ideas in his mind. If the artificial intelligence research at that time had advanced further, then a situation like this might have occurred: humans might have been able to directly communicate their thoughts and consciousness through "brainwave machines" and the Internet, directly sharing their knowledge. In other words, the way humans used to communicate through language and words would inevitably rise to a higher level, directly entering the level of communication of thoughts and consciousness, just like some powerful cultivators used their divine sense to communicate with each other.
If humans on Earth could improve from text and language to communication of thoughts and consciousness, then it would inevitably bring about an explosion of knowledge and civilization. At that time, the process of human evolution would inevitably improve rapidly, and might even reach an unprecedented level. If they went a step further, there might be people who uploaded their thoughts and consciousness to the Internet. At that time, even if the human body perished and died, their thoughts and consciousness would still exist, and it might even develop further. Then, humans would break the shackles of the physical body, and through scientific means, achieve immortality.
Thoughts and consciousness that could continue to exist and develop on the Internet were already considered another form of living beings, or such an existence could be considered a real "artificial intelligence", because such "artificial intelligence" could think independently, have intelligence, and have sensory cognition of the world and the universe. Moreover, such artificial intelligence could enter any kind of intelligent machine, and could even enter the "brain" of a robot to travel across galaxies and the universe. This was something that humans with physical bodies could not do.
If artificial intelligence went a little further, then there might be "intelligence aggregates", which meant that after a long period of communication and evolution between many artificial intelligence's thoughts and consciousness, they might form a third-level life form, which was the so-called life form formed by the gathering of the intelligence of many living beings. This was considered a high-level life form, but it might not be accepted by ordinary people, because once an "intelligence aggregates" were formed, the individual's "individuality" would inevitably be weakened, or even completely disappear. Do not think that the advancement of the level of life must be an infinitely beautiful thing. In fact, the process of evolution of races and life forms was also a process of assimilation, and the individuality of life would gradually disappear.
Society was a big melting pot. For example, when the productivity of the human world was lagging behind, different races had different habits, believed in different gods, and had different words and languages. However, when human society began to become highly centralized, the language, words, and customs would gradually become unified, which meant that many people's "individuality" had been invisibly reduced, or even completely strangled.
With the emergence of the Internet, communication between people became more frequent, and the process of social assimilation was also greatly accelerated. When the spirit and consciousness of all people were completely "connected", there would inevitably be a higher degree of integration, which was inevitable. Even if artificial intelligence was truly born on Earth, it would eventually go through the process of "aggregation" and "assimilation", and human individuality would be completely erased.
This was the price that had to be paid in order to obtain eternal freedom, to abandon the physical body and individuality. This was an inevitable process.
From this Spirit Nexus, Qin Lang gained some understanding of the former Earth. However, these were all past understandings, because even with Qin Lang's abilities, he was unable to change what had already happened. Even if he could see what had happened in the past through the river of time, it would only be a flash of the past and not something that truly existed.
As for this Spirit Nexus, it was an amalgamation of the intelligence of countless cultivators on Mount Yuanzhang. However, by the time it was truly born, the individuality of those cultivators had already been assimilated and obliterated, leaving behind only their cultivation essence and obsessions. However, Qin Lang had already helped this Spirit Nexus break through its obsessions. Now, it was truly a new life, and a new life of a higher level.
