Lowi, who was listening on the side as an assistant, repeated curiously, "Reconstructing ancillary computation circles according to normal thinking and computation logic? Mr. Evans, the process of thinking is rather complicated. It does not meet the requirement of universalization either. "
During the regular meeting, Lucien allowed everybody to speak freely, but they had to raise their hands. It was to foster a brainstorm of inspiration as well as a promotion for himself. After all, Lucien knew very well what he had really achieved so far. He could not relax on improving his arcana level at all. However, Lucien believed that he was quite good at improving magic and alchemical items.
"Complicated steps can be simplified. Every computation is broken down into steps, and so is the process of thinking. I have an idea to break down the processes of daily thinking, manipulation, and computation, find the most simplified steps that they have in common, store them in ancillary computation circles in the form of commands, and then reassemble them into a complete process when they are applied. In such a way, most situations can be simulated." Lucien did not guide the students but proposed the idea himself, because it was beyond the current foundation and trend.
Chelly listened with great interest. "It feels very interesting. If ancillary computation circles can simulate most situations, won't they be able to simulate intelligent lives more realistically? If we talk to 'it' without knowing what it is, will we be unable to tell the difference? "
"Simulating intelligent lives without souls?" Sprint felt that Chelly was overthinking.
Heidi glared at him and defended her research partner. "Why is it impossible? It's just a simulation. If there are enough reactions set in advance, it will be barely possible to tell them apart. "
Layria frowned. "But everybody's reaction to a certain thing requires a combination of very complicated factors. It may not be possible to simulate it."
At this moment, Lucien nodded. "Interesting idea. If you are interested, you can study it. If ancillary computation circles are truly improved to the level of artificial intelligence, what will happen if alchemical lives are melted into them?"
When he said that, zeal flashed in Lucien's black pupils below his monocle. Would it be the Skynet?
Katrina listened quietly and raised a question at the right time. "Master, isn't it too troublesome to break down a complicated process into steps and reassemble them in a specific order? The time it takes for ancillary computation circles to complete such a process is enough for us to do the same thing multiple times. "
As for the phrase "artificial intelligence", they could understand it literally, and there was no ambiguity in it.
"This is the research project that I left for you." Lucien smiled. "I have a preliminary idea. Since we can control different combinations of lights through circuit design, can we apply it to the improvement of ancillary magic circles? Circuits have two states. Can we only express information in those two states, like the uncanny passwords that many sorcerers made before? "
Ever since the school of electromagnetism was separated from the school of elements, circuit design was no longer a new term. Many sorcerers applied it to the improvement of the power channels in their magic circles. As more and more magic circles were deployed to transform water energy into electricity, the infrastructure of electric wires began to be built on a large scale. With the invention of magic lamps and the introduction of many alchemical items that required electricity, even the common people knew what it was. Therefore, new professions were born that depended on it, such as "circuit maintainer".
The flourishing development of electromagnetism messaging led to more and more encryption methods.
Heidi said delightedly, "The speed of electric current is very fast. Chances are that complicated processes can be completed in a short amount of time. But how can we control the switches of circuits?"
"Only express all the information in the two states …" Chelly, on the other hand, was considering the problem of binary.
Lucien shook his head at Heidi's question. "How can we control them? That's what you need to study. I believe that we can work on both magic and alchemical materials. Some of the elements that we discovered recently have special conductive properties. You can look for them. Katrina and Layria are the authorities in that regard. "
The two girls had been studying superconductive materials and the changes of materials under ultra-low temperatures. They had also discovered a lot of new elements.
Hearing their teacher's praise, both Katrina and Layria blushed and shook their heads. "We're not the authorities yet. It's just that we have a lot of experiment materials …"
"Modesty is good, but you have to be confident in yourself. Who's willing to participate in the research on artificial intelligence? "Lucien asked with a smile.
After the research on the improvement of ancillary computation circles became the research on artificial intelligence, it immediately became high-end. It was the "specialty" of every specialist who was good at scamming funding.
Heidi and Chelly had been working on the research on elements and atoms. They were quite interested after hearing the name of "artificial intelligence". So, they raised their hands. Katrina and Layria wanted to participate, but the projects they were working on required tremendous experiments. Also, they had to learn new alchemy, the theory of relativity, and other knowledge to improve their magic abilities. They could not afford to be distracted.
Sprint and Annick were not interested in the research. They were completely mired in the microscopic "new alchemy" and the macroscopic "theory of relativity" that were closest to the truth of the world. What could be more interesting than exploring the mysteries of the world?
"Mr. Evans, I'm interested. Can I participate in the research in that direction when I'm working as an assistant?" Lowi summoned his courage and asked.
Lucien nodded, indicating his support.
Alfalia was Heidi's assistant in the first place, and she was quite close to the cheerful girl. So, she also applied to join. Naturally, Blake chose to follow them.
The regular meeting continued. Everybody reported their experiment data and conclusions in the microscopic "new alchemy", which was what the Atom Institution was supposed to be.
… …
"Mecantron", the Angel King, walked in the Realm of Gates gloomily. Suddenly, the greyness before him was condensed, and a white-haired old man appeared. He said with a smile, "You've returned from the Holy City?"
"Mecantron" looked at "Monster" Viken. "How can someone break into Mountain Paradise? Could it be that you've found a good candidate? You didn't knock him out and project him to me like Sardes did earlier? "
"Sardes couldn't infer anything from the clues. Naturally, I could only ask you to 'guide' him. This time, it's different. Lucien Evans has Sun's Corona. It's easy for him to connect the clues when he meets Maskelyne. The result did not disappoint me." "Monster" Viken chuckled. "Isn't it good? This partner has much more potential than Sardes, and the force behind him is much stronger, too. "
"That's why I'm worried. Will the Congress of Magic keep the Saint Truth after Viken is eliminated? Will they allow us to develop faith? I'm afraid that they will covet Mountain Paradise, too … "" Mecantron "was still gloomy." Why don't you project yourself inside his body and control him in secret? "
"Monster" Viken kept a mysterious smile. "I can't see through Lucien Evans. There seems to be something in him that I'm very scared of, so I dare not project myself. Also, the air of the Silver Moon is on him. Even if I project myself, it will be driven away when he arrives."
"The Silver Moon?" "Mecantron" asked in surprise.
The monster nodded. "How can the Silver Moon not take the opportunity to pry into the mysteries of immortality? The guy from hell is following him, too! I was hoping that more people would see the mysteries of immortality, so I didn't bother them. "
"Mecantron" was even more surprised. "The Lord of Hell is here, too?"
"Mecantron, do you think that Lucien Evans came in on his own? Do you think that the legendary sorcerers of the Congress of Magic are so unlucky? Even Maskelyne managed to sneak into the Furnace of Souls, but they 'ran into' the Room of the Holy Spirit … There are too many coincidences, so there must be a reason behind it. " The monster sneered. Although it couldn't leave the Realm of Gates, it was still able to investigate the Temple of Spirits.
After a brief silence, Mecantron said coldly, "It seems that the legendary spectres of the World of Souls are not only related to the North Church but also to the Lord of Hell …"
"They have too many partners. My student, the Original Fire, the Hand of Paleness, the Dark Congress, the Vladimir family in the Schachran Empire, the Mother Earth Church at the edge of the Dark Mountain Range …" The monster said unconcernedly. "There's no need to worry about the Congress of Magic. If Viken is weak, I will be strong!"
"Let's wait and see. I'm wounded. I'll go back to Mountain Paradise to recover." "Mecantron" nodded and walked past the monster through the grey hall, pushing the gate of Mountain Paradise open.
Looking at the world that was brimming with holy light and thinking of the monster outside, "Mecantron" put on a vague smile of mockery.
Then, he unfolded his thirty-six pure wings and flew back to the seventh floor under the welcome of the angels and the holy spirits. Kneeling before the feet of the God of Truth, he fell asleep quietly.
In the royal palace of Antiffler, Rudolf II opened his eyes. The air around him changed, and he remarked with mixed feelings, "I've finally returned to the peak of legendary."
Inside the Temple of Spirits, "Ivan" returned to the Room of the Holy Spirit in embarrassment. He was even more impressed by the horror of the monster now. Walking into the coffin, he asked in confusion, "What is it guarding exactly? Is it really Mountain Paradise like the Lich King said? "
The cover of the coffin was closed again, and the Room of the Holy Spirit fell into silence again. However, nobody noticed that "Geno"'s coffin was empty.
After a while, smoke snuck in without a sound and crawled into "Geno"'s coffin without alarming anybody.
In the Holy City, after confirming that the Angel King would not return for now, Benedict III instructed the red robe who was waiting in his library, "Inform the Grand Cardinals to convene an emergency meeting."
