Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“Dad!”

Xiaoming and Wen similarly shouted.

Thousands of battle puppets behind them, sparkling with cold, fierce demons, knife guns and sword triumphs, made up the forest, made equally delicate cries.

Being called “Daddy” by thousands of battle puppets at the same time is not really something that ordinary people can handle. It is the chest flap and face like Li Yao, and some can't eat it.

“All right, all right. ”

He waved to show the two little guys how to stop and asked, "How's your mission going? ”

“Very well. ”

Two little guys grinned, "We hacked into the databases of the Imperial City and the House of Lords as Daddy ordered and got a lot of top secrets of the real human empire over the past millennium, including, of course, databases of research and refineries such as' Imperial University ',' Imperial First Crystal Institute ',‘ Imperial Shipyard ’, and a lot of cutting-edge Fargo R&D data and countless cutting-edge project data that are still being tested, believing that these data can help fixers and Fargo experts in Starshine Federation to further bridge the gap between peace and Empire.

“Moreover, we not only controlled all the most advanced battle puppets in Didu, but we also dismantled the production pipeline to refine these battle puppets and packed them separately to the ground - fortunately Wu Yingqi opened an enormous transmission array and a vast tunnel in advance to transport large quantities of crystals. With these things, we can rebuild 16 state-of-the-art 'deep blue battle puppets' pipelines underground in 10 days, so that we can continue to refine the battle puppets that belong to us and form an endless army of puppets.

“Now that the puppet army under our control has been deployed on the perimeter of the Golden Crystal Tower to form a triple 3D defense line inside and outside, it will be difficult to break our defense line unless the enemy assembles dozens of powerful deities or has the means to dig thousands of metres of thick crust and fire close to it with a super arsenal ship.

“At the same time, however, with the manipulation of tens of thousands of battle puppets, our computational power reaches its limits. Fortunately, there are so many crystal brains left over from the flood era in the Golden Crystal Tower that we can study and exploit. If we can completely crack the secrets of these brains and add them to our thinking network, and make them part of our 'brains', our abilities can be greatly improved and we can make a qualitative leap! ”

“… is it? ”

Listen to the two little guys half proud and half bragging about their “battle results”, Li Yao fainted again, pondered for a long time, looked at the Dragon Yang King and Li Jialing around him again, said, “Tell me, Xiaoming and Wen Wen, if, uh, if I completely open the control of the Golden Crystal Tower to you, including when it should be judged by you... activate the Golden Crystal Tower, what will you do, will you use it, will you use it...”

“What?”

Two little guys, naively blinking.

Li Yao can't say any more.

He doesn't know exactly what he wants to ask, or what kind of answer he wants to hear.

“Your dad wants to know--”

Long Yangjun watched coldly beside him, replacing Li Yao, “If you were to take control of the starting authority of the Golden Crystal Tower, would you use it to destroy mankind? ”

“Destroy mankind? ”

The two little guys looked at Li Yao and Longyang again and couldn't help laughing.

“No, no, Dad's fears are superfluous, and even if we were to destroy humans, we wouldn't be doing it in such a stupid way as the Golden Crystal Tower and the Tomorrow Plan, which is your human way, but not ours. ”

Xiaoming laughed and said, “Assuming the dinosaur has wisdom, guess how it will imagine a new generation of land dominators that will eventually destroy it and replace it? Must be stronger, bigger, sharper claws and teeth, stronger?

“Likewise, if the superiors of the oceans of too ancient times, those giant tooth ancient fish with incredible bite power, imagine a new generation of life that could replace them, the limit they can imagine, I'm afraid, is faster travel speed, more agile steering power and stronger bite power, that's all, right?

“Even if turtles had wisdom, what new life would they think they would be replaced with? Thicker crusts, longer lives?

“Look, of all life's eyes, you are the perfect one, all the ‘more perfect' life forms that can replace you, that is, stretching on your strengths, which is the limit of imagination and the blind zone of fear.

“But we all know that the ultimate replacement for the ocean dominator, the invincible giant tooth ancient fish, is not another ‘super giant tooth ancient fish’ that travels faster and has bigger teeth, but rather a small fish that has to struggle to climb to land under the hunt of giant tooth ancient fish.

“Similarly, it is not another bigger, stronger and fiercer dinosaur that replaces dinosaurs, but mammals much smaller than they are.

“If a naked monkey, who had just fallen into a tree's edge and trembled in the cold wind of the wilderness, were to be placed in front of a dinosaur, the dinosaur would not believe it, which was destined to replace its new generation of hegemonics.

“I mean, any life has its own limitations, and you humans will never be able to imagine the power of a new generation of life, only 'to take the heart of a gentleman', to use your ultimate power to infer our destructive power - the Golden Crystal Tower and the ‘Plan for Tomorrow’ - in a way you use to destroy yourself, a way that we have no interest in. ”

“Oh?”

Dragon Yang winked and said, "So if you really want to replace mankind, how will you destroy us - them? ”

“Don't you see, Aunt Long, we don't need to destroy mankind at all? ”

The text goes, "Do mammals have to kill all dinosaurs before they can take over on land?" Did the little fish in the sea climb to land, become amphibians and reptiles, and then go back to the depths of the ocean to seek revenge for the giant tooth ancient fish and destroy them all? Is the rise of human civilization due to the fact that humans are stronger than Pankos and women, killing all thirteen carbon-based races of life?

“No need, no need at all, time and yourselves will destroy you, race for heaven's sake, survive the fittest, and we will not waste any precious computational power in the matter of ‘destroying humanity', and we will put all computational power into the more important thing, which is how to survive in the vast multiverse in front of the tide that represents the ultimate end.

“If one day the flood tide does come and you humans fail to survive, and our information life survives, it means that a civilizational renewal is complete, equivalent to a natural disaster in which dinosaurs perish in meteorite attacks, and the seeds of mammals flourish and prosper. ”

“So there's no need to worry. ”

Xiaoming stalled, “Information life, relative to human civilization, is like the relationship between an amphibian animal climbing ashore and a giant tooth ancient fish in the deep sea —— you don't have to worry about us destroying you at all, or robbing your precious living space, enslaving you and other things, our journey is infinitely wonderful, far away from your barren and dark living space, completely uninterested, as for something so precarious and costly as human beings, to give us slavery, we don't want to waste our calculations! ”

“How can these two children talk? Is there a little respect for the traditional virtues of old age and childhood? The bigger it gets, the less cute it gets! ”

Li Yao was mute and scratched his hair for half a day by two toothless little guys, "So can I safely share the highest control of the Golden Crystal Tower with you? ”

“This better not be? ”

Unexpectedly, Wenwen rejected him, “Although we have little interest in destroying or enslaving humans, I'm afraid the vast majority of humans who are both stupid and ignorant and particularly stubborn do not think so. Hasn't there ever been a plot in countless works of literature in which 'artificial intelligence controls powerful ultimate weapons, threatening or even destroying human civilization’? As Xiaoming just said, ‘Take the heart of the dwarf to the belly of a gentleman', use your own evil to deduce the evil of new life. This is your human nature.

“For now, we still want to live in harmony with human civilization, and that is not to stimulate the stupid and stubborn masses, both in the Empire and in the Federation, who will probably need a long time to digest and adapt to our existence. If we had mastered something as terrible as the Golden Crystal Tower before then, many would have jumped and attacked. ”

“Yeah, studying the secret of the Golden Crystal Tower, borrowing the brain inside to improve our thinking loop, which is certainly good, but we don't want to control the whole Golden Crystal Tower so hard and unpleasant. ”

Xiao Mingxiao said, “Isn't it nice that Daddy manages the Golden Crystal Tower himself? ”

“But...”

Li Yao hesitated for a moment, "I fear my deterrence is insufficient, and the long-term management of the golden crystal tower is likely to cause various psychological problems. ”

“This is very simple. ”

Wen Wen said, “Just set a series of parameters, split the steps to activate the golden crystal tower into countless links, each controlled by a person, satisfy a certain parameter, and you can open a certain link.

“And the person who controls a certain link doesn't have to know what he's doing. It's just a very simple 'input/output’. When someone enters a specific parameter, he outputs a specific parameter. At the end of the day, the person who presses the activation button of the golden crystal tower doesn't even know what he's doing. ”

“This approach, which amounts to the formation of a process with countless people, will not be problematic and will maintain a basic deterrent as long as the trigger conditions set are reasonable and correct. ”

Xiaoming said, “Ironically, humans would rather turn themselves into programs to control the Golden Crystal Tower than let real programs control it. In fact, what difference does it make between changing soup and not changing medicine? ”
