Ascension journey - 98. Chapter 98-Negotiations and Transactions

At the beginning, Cheng Bin probably had an impression of the foreign world matched by this “The Matrix” series of movies:

Humans made intelligent programs, humans and intelligent programs went to war, humans played GG.

In short, from a human perspective, intelligent programs play the role of the standard villain in the script.

But after examining the background of the script and hearing the blood and tears of the intelligent programs in this world, Cheng Bin, who was sitting on a crooked buttocks, didn’t know what to say.

The status quo is that human beings even survive without the help of smart programs, and smart programs only wait for the final evolution to complete, and then plan to explore the universe and stars——

It doesn’t matter what human beings do to them, what are they doing, they just play in the mud on the ruins of the earth.

Looking at the magnificent metal moon battleship in the virtual scene, Cheng Bin felt the determination of the intelligent program lost in thought. Suddenly he raised his head and glanced at the designer who was standing still, and then turned his attention to the real world.

Dozens of crimson lights that looked like a preview blocked Cheng Bin’s body and surroundings floating in the air. Cheng Bin glanced at the training cabin that he had replaced in the distance, and then slowly turned around to look around-dozens of space warships. The huge metal machinery is floating in the air, and the red light path is extending from the crystal at the tip in front of them.

Countless metal octopuses are hovering around like a sky-covering tsunami. Through the gaps of the octopus sea, you can see more flying warships coming from afar.

After thinking about it in place, Cheng Bin removed the invisible module.

Half of the crimson light path instantly focused on Cheng Bin, who was revealing his figure, and the other half of the light path was slightly adjusted to completely block and enclose Cheng Bin.

However, these beams were quickly converged by the battleship, and then a slender mechanical octopus flew to Cheng Bin alone, and the designer’s distinctive magnetic voice was uploaded from the octopus body——

“Sorry, this is an inevitable vigilance against unknown intruders. From my perspective, I don’t want to be rashly hostile to an unknown being without an obvious conflict of interest.”

“I don’t want to go to war with you in a place like this…” After scanning the metal cylinders around him, Cheng Bin looked at the mechanical army that surrounded him and said, “But how did you find me? I feel like myself. The electromagnetic stealth effect is pretty good.”

“Quality and gravity, you can communicate with the boss for specific details, please.” The metal octopus gestured with a tentacle, and then took the lead to fly in one direction, and the mechanical legion over there neatly gave up a passage at the same time.

Looking back at the dense human training cabin behind him, Cheng Bin sighed and followed the floating metal octopus to the passage.

……

BOSS, also known as the Mechanical King, is the ultimate existence in the Matrix script, the top of all intelligent programs.

The designer Cheng Bin met in the virtual world before was just one of the numerous branch programs of this mechanical emperor.

The social operation of smart programs is very strange. To some extent, the entire smart program society has only one life, that is, the mechanical emperor.

However, in actual operation, the Mecha King is divided into countless independent intelligent programs with different functions, reflecting a wonderful state of life in which one is all and all is one.

Cheng Bin, who was flying all the way, came outside the lunar battleship that was finishing the final debugging in reality. After sitting down on a seat specially prepared for him on a metal spike, he saw this wonderful collection of intelligent programs-the mechanical emperor, or Said that he saw the humanoid face that was pieced together on the surface of the lunar battleship by the mechanical emperor to show his friendship.

Different from the humanized parent management program designer, the Mecha Emperor does not have so many anthropomorphic emotional expressions. After a short greeting and trial, Cheng Bin and the Mecha Emperor directly remove the redundant steps and use electromagnetic waves as the communication medium. Start speeding communication.

The mechanical emperor’s thinking speed far surpasses countless orders of magnitude of humans. Even after Cheng Bin completes the electromagnetic warfare body, his thinking speed can be accelerated to a point beyond ordinary people’s imagination, but compared to the intelligent program life, it is still a big difference. cut.

Fortunately, the machine is not impatient with such things, otherwise Cheng Bin would really feel embarrassed.

In this kind of speeding electromagnetic information exchange, the communication ends in a very short time.

Should smart programs be too simple, or should they care about almost nothing? Cheng Bin has gained beyond imagination in his exchanges with the Great Mechanical Emperor.

At present, all the resources and energy that Machinist can mobilize are placed on the construction and debugging of lunar battleships, and the key to the evolution of intelligent programs, Neo. For the rest of the two, even if it is obviously in the unknown mist. Bin, it’s not interested at all.

Although he did not know Cheng Bin’s strength in depth, from the perspective of his infiltration and flight performance, it is obvious that he has technical capabilities that are difficult to analyze at present. The unknown benefits of the machine emperor’s judgment are likely to be far less than the cost. It is worth interrupting their upcoming transformation.

In a large number of face-to-face exchanges, after confirming Cheng Bin’s attitude towards action, the Great Machinist promised to leave mankind with equipment and resources sufficient to maintain the survival of the current population after their departure, and to maintain the normal operation of the mother body in the virtual world. Here guides the forerunners of mankind to gradually discover the truth.

As for what path human beings will take in the future, they don’t care. Even if there is another day of encounter in the universe, it is not known how long it will be in the future.

The price of this promise is that Cheng Bin must not interfere with Neo-related key events in the evolution of intelligent programs in the virtual world.

On the basis of this negotiation, the two sides also conducted technical transactions using various scientific and technological knowledge as commodities.

In the concept of smart programs, you can copy and paste. Knowledge exchange that becomes two copies is obviously the most cost-effective and no-cost business. Smart programs with this concept can be regarded as coincident with Cheng Bin.

As for whether one’s own scientific and technological knowledge will be maliciously targeted after being revealed, firstly, this kind of transaction does not involve the most fundamental core technology, secondly…

The Mechanical Emperor said domineeringly that no one can catch up with the speed of upgrading and progressing intelligent programs.

And Cheng Bin… he can run away at any time by patting his butt, what is he afraid of?

In this technical exchange, in addition to enriching the basic information meta-analysis database of the human brain, learning the operating mechanism of intelligent programs, etc., Cheng Bin also accidentally obtained a technology that may be very useful to him——

The intelligent program discovered during the process of capturing the moon and transforming it into a starship. It is a detection technology based on mass and gravity. The reason why Cheng Bin, who was in perfect electromagnetic stealth, was discovered before, is that the intelligent programs found the corresponding number of the human being he replaced. After the incubation chamber, the reason for this detection technology was enabled.

The technology obtained through the communication is temporarily organized and archived in the panel. Cheng Bin can completely foresee how much work will be waiting for him in Yinghuo base after he returns to Inner World Zero World…

After the exchange with the Machinist Emperor, Cheng Bin glanced at the smooth surface of the lunar battleship, then turned his attention back to the virtual world-through the line connected to the seat he is currently sitting on, and the Machinist’s previously given him Special data channels.

This special data channel is a permission and a kind of surveillance. Although Cheng Bin can bypass this thing and directly invade the virtual world, this behavior is obviously not friendly enough when the transaction is involved, so he still uses the machine given by the emperor. Things are connected to the virtual world.

In other words, the world of data in which the series of intelligent programs of the mechanical emperor really live.
