In fact, sometimes Lu Zhou would also miss the era when he didn't need to explain anything. Even if his words were not an imperial edict, no one would question him.
Looking at the wine bottle on the table, his thoughts drifted away, thinking of his lost youth and love.
"How long will it take before we get to the point?" Xing Bian pinched his eyebrows with his index finger and thumb, trying to keep himself awake.
He thought he was the kind of person who could drink, but he didn't expect that one day, he would be drunk by a seemingly "fragile" university professor.
Lu Zhou was slightly taken aback. He then spoke with an embarrassed smile.
"Sorry, I just remembered something from the past … Where was I?"
Although his neck was red, Shi Jin, who was sitting next to him, was still barely awake. He reminded with a serious face, "You talked about the Aurora Borealis cruise ship, and … the Swedish princess owes you a dance."
"Ahem, I remember now … Let me correct you, it's me who owes her, not —"
Aware of the resentment floating from the other side of the table, Lu Zhou quietly changed his words and said, "In short, I went to Mars. As you know, I was buried under The Gates of Hell … It took me 100 years to finally escape from it. Although I was lying in a dormant cabin for 100 years, the strange thing is that my thoughts did not stop. "
Hearing these words, the two almost vomited blood.
MMP！
Why didn't you say it earlier when you could have explained it to me with just one sentence?
Who cares who you sent to the future, who you gave a star to, and who you owed a dance to …
"Your thoughts did not stop?" Shi Jin said with a headache, "This is impossible! People are asleep when they are dormant! I have dealt with many dormant people. Their descriptions are that as soon as they open their eyes and close their eyes, they are already in the future. "
Lu Zhou: "Of course, this is the case in theory, but maybe the frozen dormancy technology of the Martian civilization is more advanced than ours, allowing people to maintain consciousness while dormant."
Of course, there was another possibility, and that was that the dormant person still retained their consciousness in the form of a dream, but had forgotten everything after waking up.
Pinching his eyebrows tightly, Captain Xing tried to make his brain work, trying to grasp the key point.
"… In other words, the ALPHA virus may be related to the remains of extraterrestrial civilization?"
"It's the Martian civilization … Although the Martian civilization is also an extraterrestrial civilization, I still have to emphasize." Looking at the two people sitting opposite him, Lu Zhou continued, "When I was frozen, I was fortunate enough to come into contact with some strange knowledge, and this strange knowledge happened to include the part about artificial intelligence."
Shi Jin said, "The Martian civilization … also has artificial intelligence?"
"Of course, their artificial intelligence is even more advanced than ours … It's troublesome to explain in detail, so I'll just go straight to the point."
Afraid that he would talk about his dreams again, Xing Bian said quickly.
"Please do so!"
"Don't interrupt me." Lu Zhou waved his hand and continued, "Basically, they divided artificial intelligence into three categories based on the behavioral logic of artificial intelligence, or whether it has the ability to think and feel. Among them, the lowest level of artificial intelligence is the simulation of human behavior through the algorithm of mechanical learning. The motivation for all its behavior is based on the settings on the program, or to put it more bluntly, it is the order of its designer. "
In fact, this classification method was not the masterpiece of the Martians, but the definition of artificial intelligence by the Calan Empire, a higher civilization of the old universe.
However, considering that the Calan Empire was just an online game that had been operating for many years in this world, and Lu Zhou did not want too many people to know about the secrets of the old universe, so he directly put this set of settings into the basket of the Martian civilization.
Anyway, no one could prove or disprove whether there really was a prosperous prehistoric civilization on Mars.
If he was right, he might be the only one who had seen the ancestors of the Martian civilization when they were rich.
Xing Bian: "I still don't quite understand … What does the artificial intelligence on Mars have to do with the ALPHA virus?"
"The relationship is too big. A strange computer virus once broke out on the Martian civilization, causing a large-scale collapse of artificial intelligence. It almost caused the entire society on Mars to regress from the Information Age to the Stone Age overnight … This may be an exaggeration, but the storm can only be described as a disaster."
Maybe he was fascinated by the story, Shi Jin couldn't help but ask.
"What happened then? Did the Martian civilization go extinct because of this? "
"How could that be?" Lu Zhou said with a smile, "Although the Martians did suffer for a period of time, and the entire society entered a long period of decline, this period of decline was only the tip of the iceberg in the history of their civilization. Later, because of a coincidence, they developed intermediate artificial intelligence with the ability to self-evolve and popularized this updated version of artificial intelligence on a large scale. Finally, the crisis of the intelligent virus was eradicated.
"Because I was bored, I carefully investigated the information about the virus, especially the source code. There were many overlaps with the ALPHA virus in key places. Of course, this virus was definitely not released by me … But it is not particularly difficult for me to control robots by using the code of the virus. "
At this moment, he was almost sober.
Captain Xing frowned and asked seriously.
"In other words, only the intermediate artificial intelligence you mentioned can resist the ALPHA virus?"
"You can say that." Lu Zhou nodded. "Unfortunately, there is no vaccine, let alone a special patch. Only when the behavioral logic is free from pure imitation and the execution of orders can it be immune to the damage of this virus. "
Captain Xing said with a bitter smile, "There are more than one billion robots in the Pan-Asian Cooperation alone. If you put them in the world, the number is even larger. Not to mention the difficulty of implementation, if such a large number of robots learn to think … Who can guarantee that new problems will not arise because of this? "
Lu Zhou: "Your concerns are normal, but I don't think it is a bad thing to allow robots to have the ability to think. The real danger is actually in the third stage."
To completely solve this virus, the best way was undoubtedly to upgrade the robots and intelligent programs all over the world.
However …
No one knew what kind of impact this would bring. No one even knew whether this would be more dangerous than the virus.
There was silence at the dinner table.
At this moment, the watch worn on Xing Bian's left wrist suddenly flickered slightly.
"Phone call?"
"Yes, excuse me."
Xing Bian pushed the chair away and stood up. He walked outside the private room, but he did not stay outside for a long time. Soon, he returned to the private room with a serious face and sat down.
Looking at the serious expression on Xing Bian's face, Lu Zhou spoke casually.
"What happened … If it's convenient to disclose."
"There is nothing inconvenient for me to disclose. After all, it has something to do with your matter …" After a pause, Xing Bian continued, "In short, after asking about the source of the ALPHA virus from Morinaga, we locked on to the space pirates active near 0.03 astronomical units away from Sigma … Then we found an abandoned space station there."
"Space station?" Lu Zhou frowned and said, "Abandoned?"
Xing Bian nodded and said, "Yes, and judging from the clues, it should have been abandoned for many years. Although the materials on it are sufficient, the people are nowhere to be found. There are some bizarre clues in it. We have asked many experts, but there is no answer. "
Lu Zhou: "… I have a feeling that something very troublesome is coming for me."
Xing Bian smiled bitterly. He slowly lowered his head and spoke in a pleading tone.
"Please … We really can't find anyone to rely on except you."
After looking at the sincere gaze for a while, Lu Zhou finally sighed.
"Go ahead."
Xing Bian: "We found a few strange formulas in the diary of a crew member, but we consulted physics and mathematics experts who have worked with the Security Bureau. No one could see what the formula meant."
Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Where is the formula?"
"Here."
A light blue holographic card appeared in Xing Bian's hand. With a gentle push, he moved it to Lu Zhou.
After receiving the transmitted data, Lu Zhou stared at the formulas. His pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly stretched out.
Noticing the change in his expression, Xing Bian asked immediately.
"What did you find?"
"Strictly speaking, this is not a pure mathematical problem, nor a physical problem … but cryptography."
"Cryptography?"
Xing Bian looked at Lu Zhou in a daze. Although he had long heard of Lu Zhou's academic ability, he couldn't figure out how Lu Zhou saw the mystery in this formula in an instant.
"Because I have seen similar encryption methods, compressing the information that needs to be expressed in an irrational number, but these lines of formulas are not so technical. At most, only a few bytes of information are compressed."
Xing Bian frowned and asked, "What is the information inside?"
"I don't know, it's probably a password for something?" Standing up from the dining table, Lu Zhou looked at the two people opposite him. "I need half a day. If everything goes well, I should be able to give you an answer tomorrow."
Xing Bian said with a face full of shame, "I'm really sorry to bother you …"
Lu Zhou smiled faintly and said carelessly, "If you feel embarrassed, this meal is on you."
