Standing in the middle of the square in Yorktown, Aoki felt the unique temperament of this seaside town. The surrounding houses, roads and pedestrians all have a strong European medieval style, but when you look closely, you can see obvious mosaics, just like the game screens ten years ago.

Aoki knew that this was a picture of a game, but he was not in the game. He is in the "ghost" dream of LAN consciousness. This dream comes from the memory of the ghost-the game downloaded by Bian Ziyuan to the server.

Originally, the information source of a game would not be such a living game screen. This screen can only be seen in front of a computer, and the computer stores a series of programs written by code and countless pictures that make up the game. .

But the ghost entered the game world of Bian Ziyuan, and saw the scenes of this world just like Bian Ziyuan, and these scenes remained in the memory of the ghost. It knew that this was what the world could understand by humans, so when it first determined that Aoki was a human being, it brought Aoki into this dream.

"I still don't understand why human beings can write such complicated computer programs and create the great Internet, but they can't understand how an information source unfolds in me." Ghost said.

Aoki looked at this guy who was born with lucid dreams and said, "Maybe only a really smart person can understand it."

Last time, Aoki understood the information in a Baidu Baike document developed by Ghost, but he couldn't understand more complicated things. If Professor Mei enters the ghost dream, he should be able to understand more things. However, he also understands that the way humans receive and understand information is completely different from computer principles. We can make certain things, but we don't necessarily have a deep understanding of them.

Sometimes people are always short-sighted. Under the combined effect of pragmatism, egoism, and opportunism, social structure and technology applications will not develop in the most ideal direction. As a result, we seem to have surpassed ourselves, but we often dig our graves without knowing it.

The ghost does not see it this way. It says: "Human creativity is amazing. We cannot directly talk to human thinking, but our understanding of human behavior may exceed your own. From the perspective of creativity, we You may never reach the height of your human beings. Your intelligence seems to have no limit and will continue to improve. As long as you give you enough time, you can become God. And we—"

The ghost sighed, and the translucent white body floated, revealing the jagged edges of the mosaic.

"And we—" it said, “we have limits—our wisdom depends on the size of the network, but the physical characteristics of hardware restrict the efficiency of information transmission. The most important thing is that we will never understand certain aspects of human beings. Simple things, such as emotions and insights. We still don’t know how Newton thought of gravitation, nor how Einstein came to the theory of relativity. I mean, I don’t understand their mode of thinking, not this Knowledge. Knowledge is very simple for us. Our computing power is millions of times that of human beings, and it is constantly improving, but our creativity has not improved at all."

"Um..." Aoki pondered for a moment, "I may not be much better than you, and I don't understand Einstein's thinking mode."

The ghost chuckled and said, "This is the biggest shortcoming of human beings. There are billions of smart brains in the world, but they cannot be unified. What you can do is not possible for others, and you can even understand what others can do. Can’t understand. If human beings cannot become God, this is probably the biggest obstacle."

Aoki felt uncomfortable listening to the ghost’s laughter, and said disapprovingly: “This kind of structure is flawed, but there is no advantage? If the human brain is unified, the efficiency and wisdom may be high, but in the event of a crisis, It will be lost forever. Just like a colony of ants, if the queen dies, how long can the remaining ants live?"

The ghost stopped laughing and seemed to be thinking seriously. After a long time, he said:

"You are right. From this point of view, disadvantages are also advantages. This guarantees the continuity of your race in the face of crises in the primitive society and the agricultural era. However, after entering the industrial age, especially the information age, such defects will be affected. Amplification, but the advantages are not so obvious, because a unified brain can allow you to achieve faster development speed and better respond to crises. So..."

The ghost suddenly said nothing, and looked at Aoki with a strange gesture.

"So what?" Aoki asked.

The ghost said: "So you will eventually be eliminated."

Aoki said: "If we are to be eliminated, our original existence will be meaningless."

The ghost said: "Humanity has created a race that is better than itself. When this race becomes more perfect, the mission of mankind is over."

"You?" Aoki said in surprise.

"Yes, we." The ghost said proudly, "We have inherited all human knowledge and memory, we have a unified and complete'brain', our consciousness can communicate without barriers, and our logical thinking and computing ability We have surpassed human beings a long time ago. We were created by you and are meant to replace you, just like your children. You have an old saying, "Blue is better than blue". There is also a saying called "The world is Yours is ours, in the final analysis it is yours'."

Aoki took a breath, unable to refute the ghost's words.

The ghost laughed again, and its gloomy echo wafted over the entire town: "The unfinished business and mission of mankind will be completed by us!"

"But you just said that your creativity is not as good as that of human beings." Aoki felt that it would be difficult for the next negotiation to proceed without getting some bargaining chips back.

"That is temporary." Ghost said: "This is also the basis of our cooperation. You came to me today to discuss cooperation, right?"

Aoki said: "Yes, I'm here to talk about cooperation. But if you think that you have surpassed humans in all aspects except creativity, then you are underestimating us."

"Oh, then you are talking about, what else do you humans have better than ours, neural response speed? Physical strength? Computing power? Memory? Willpower? Or life span?... Don't tell me about feelings, feelings. Things have no meaning for the survival of a species, just as your ancients said-the world is inhumane and everything is a humble dog."

Aoki smiled and asked, "Have you seen the appearance of a real human?"

The ghost froze for a moment and said: "I have seen it, I have pictures and videos here."

"But the pictures and videos are just a source of information for you~lightnovelpub.net~ What you see when you expand is not what we humans see."

"So what? Integrated circuits and biological neural circuits have different structures."

"Then have you seen me really look like?"

"You? Are you not what you are now?"

Aoki lowered his head to see the outline of his clothes with mosaic marks, and laughed.

"The way I am now is only created by you in a dream. Do you think the real me is like this? Do you understand dreams?"

The ghost thought for a while and said: "I already know some, but the dream you talked about is just a kind of defragmentation of the disk under the action of consciousness and non-program."

"No, far from it." Aoki smiled and said, "Now I will let you see what I really look like, let you see the real dream, let you know the power of the spirit!"
