Chapter 75 'Transcendence'

Today's second update, continue to ask for support! !

...

"If human beings want to continue to survive and evolve to a higher level, establishing a new type of thinking is crucial!"

"Albert Einstein said that more than fifty years ago."

"To this day, that sentence couldn't be more relevant."

"Intelligent machines will soon allow us to tackle humanity's toughest challenges, not just curing disease, but ending poverty and hunger."

"Finally saving the planet and building a better future for us."

Looking at the heroine Evelyn Custer in a red dress and professional attire standing on the stage and chatting, Liu Ruian, who was sitting in the audience and sitting off the stage, had to admit that the heroine who played this role was indeed very suitable for this kind of role. The role of women scholars.

Speaking of which, Evelyn Custer is still an acquaintance to Liu Ruian. Rebecca Hall played Maya Hansen in "Iron Man 3". The molecular formula and The relevant data is obtained from the other party.

Unlike Maya Hansen in "Iron Man 3", the heroine Evelyn Custer played by Rebecca Hall in this world is both character and image. better.

It is a pity that the final situation of the two different characters is also very good.

Maya Hansen in "Iron Man 3" was shot and killed by her partner for Tony Stark, and now this Evelyn Custer is first without a lover, and finally because of a group of selfish People's "delusional phobia of being persecuted" killed him and his husband who was finally "reborn".

When Liu Ruian's thoughts were deserting, Evelyn Custer's speech on artificial intelligence on the stage also came to an end quickly.

"I don't know who else in the world has worked harder to bring this future to life than the next speaker."

"But it's mostly my opinion."

"Next, ask my work and life partner, Dr. Will Custer."

In a rather warm applause, a young man with an obviously slovenly figure stepped onto the stage and took the microphone.

Dr. Will Custer, Liu Ruian's main target in this crossing plan.

Or to be more precise, it should be that the other party is still only a "semi-finished product".

"Thank you very much." Holding the microphone, Dr. Will Custer greeted the packed audience, and then went straight to the topic and said:

"My wife always wanted to change the world, but I just wanted to understand the world first."

"Our cognitive abilities have not changed for 130,000 years."

"The combined wisdom of the neuroscientists, engineers, mathematicians, and computer hackers here is incomparable to the most basic artificial intelligence."

"Sentient machines, once connected to the Internet, will rapidly overcome biological limitations."

"In a very short period of time, its analytical power will exceed the intelligence of the entire historical population combined."

"Now imagine such a being, having all the emotions, even self-awareness, of a human being at the same time."

"Some scientists call it a 'singularity,' and I call it a 'transcendent.'"

"Building such a superintelligence,

It takes us to decipher the most fundamental secrets of the universe. "

"What is the nature of consciousness? Does the soul exist?"

"If it exists, where does the soul settle?"

As Dr. Will Custer's words echoed in the venue, the atmosphere of the venue gradually became a little dignified.

"Dr. Will Custer." Suddenly a middle-aged man stood up in the audience and said.

"Yes, sir, is there a problem?" asked Dr. Will Custer, who looked at the other side.

"Are you trying to create a god? Your own god?" The middle-aged man asked, looking straight at the other.

"This question is very good." Facing this sharp question, Dr. Will Custer was quite calm, and quickly asked:

"Haven't man always been creating God?"

Liu Ruian actually agrees with Dr. Will Custer's point of view.

It is not surprising to think about it. From the evolution of primitive humans to the present, human beings are creating one miracle after another.

And these miracles in the past are definitely things that only God can do.

It's a pity that since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of some people who have extreme thoughts and are brainwashed and instigated by evil intentions, such as the anti-tech extremists in the world today.

After the speech, Dr. Will Custer left the venue with his wife and friends.

On the way, many viewers and fans who agreed with Dr. Will Custer's ideas came forward to ask for autographs with pen and paper.

Although Dr. Will Custer is a pure technical nerd, he still feels a little dark in the face of such a situation.

As his friend Max Waters remarked afterward: "Look at him, pretending he's not enjoying it all."

However, Will Custer never imagined that after signing a few names, he was no longer facing the enthusiasm and support of fans, but the muzzle of a black hole.

"Bang!" Dr. Will Custer, who had just been stunned by signing autographs for fans, fell in response.

Strangely enough, the shooter with an apparently abnormal expression had no intention of running away.

After confirming that the shot he had just shot had completely hit the target, he directly raised the gun and committed suicide on the spot.

The two consecutive gunshots directly caused chaos in the originally harmonious floor.

Liu Ruian, who was wearing a casual suit, fell on the brunette who was the only one who remained calm in the chaotic crowd, or to be more precise, it should be a cold brunette.

Liu Ruian had no intention of stopping the hero Will Custer's injury.

There is no way, it is not cold-blooded, it is really impossible to achieve the purpose of this time crossing without being shot.

Seeing that the plot was still developing according to the original trajectory, Liu Ruian, who was standing in the corner where no one noticed, disappeared on the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already in the Earth orbit of the world of "Transcendental Hackers", and a starship shaped like a big bird was parked in space.

If there are players of the cosmic sandbox game "EVE" present, they will surely find that someone has copied the Redemption-class command ship of the Emma clan because of their laziness and ease.

"Protoss, how's the network intrusion of this world?" Liu Ruian, who directly teleported to the bridge, asked after sitting down in the main control chair.

"Ninety percent of the network resources have been invaded, my master." Prototype, who projected the image of a sweet loli, this time in a cute maid outfit.

"OK, let's do as planned." Liu Ruian, who nodded, ordered.

As this instruction was executed by the Protoss, pieces of holographic projection screens representing various planned projects were quickly displayed in front of someone.

The most notable of these screens is a series of bank accounts representing Umbrella Technologies, or rather, large sums of money that are growing at a stopwatch-like rate.

This wholly-owned company, which has just been established for less than 24 hours, has made huge profits through different channels in financial trading centers around the world through the Internet.

Although at this point, money is really just a number for Liu Ruian.

In a way, the quick billions of dollars in the account are not as meaningful as a bonanza.

With a large sum of money, and Protoss being a well-deserved "god" in the online world, Umbrella Technology has quickly become a notorious but well-deserved large group company.

Seeing that the company didn't need to bother himself, Liu Ruian simply gave himself a vacation while the plot hadn't developed to the point he wanted.

It's a pity that the relaxing time always passes quickly. Before Liu Ruian can make a good circle around the world in this world, to make up for the longing in his heart after being away from home for so long, Protoss sent a message .

For Dr. Will Custer, who was shot, the real fatal injury was not the trauma caused by the bullet, but the radiation poisoning attached to the polonium isotope carried by the bullet.

For the human beings in this world, radiation poisoning is more terrifying than cancer, and there is no hope of cure at all. The only thing that can be done is to wait for death.

Of course, this fatal disease is not a problem for Liu Ruian at all.

Not to mention that the treatment platform in "Space of Elysium" was originally capable of curing radiation-related diseases. After further research and development and improvement by Protoss, its functions are more powerful than before.

It's a pity that Liu Ruian has no plans to help, at least not in the current situation.

After learning that he had been poisoned by radiation, Dr. Will Custer's will was naturally quite depressed and decadent.

"I don't understand, they are afraid of technology because it threatens human beings." Sitting on a chair in his living room, Dr. Will Custer, who was in a very poor state, looked at his friend and said:

"But they kill without blinking, obviously their logic isn't that good."

"However, there is no shortage of irony."

Faced with these ironic remarks, Max Waters, a partner and friend, can only say:

"People are afraid of things they don't understand, always."

Just when Will Custer didn't want to talk about this topic and was going to change the topic, he suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice from the door:

"Really? I don't think so."

"If fear is the reason why they can kill without blinking an eye, then how did human beings develop to this day?"

"Could it be that all the sages who have made significant contributions to the history of human evolution did everything wrong?"

Subconsciously, they looked in the direction of the voice, and Will Custer and Max Waters noticed that at some point, a very well-dressed young man who seemed to know he was rich. Asian man is standing at the entrance of the gate.
