Dickinson and May Yiqiu talked about some interesting things about Princeton when they were young, and hid in the room, not knowing what to say.

Huang Liang had to sit in the living room with Hou Biao and wait.

Most of the decoration and furniture in the house are outdated goods of the last century, but the computer is new, and at first glance it is different from ordinary computers, there is a kind of science fiction in the movie.

Huang Liang doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. After all, the person who can let Mei Yiqiu come to the door is normal even if he plays a little bit of black technology, let alone just a computer.

He glanced at Hou Biao, who was sitting next to him, and knew that this bald man was Mei Yiqiu's bodyguard. He had never spoken much, so he didn't plan to make trouble.

Bored to stand up, he moved his bones a little, and saw a few magazines on the computer desk, then walked over and picked it up and flipped through it.

There are three magazines, "Science", "Nature", and "Cell", all of which are authoritative magazines in the scientific community. There is also a thick "Science Citation Index" next to it.

Most of the articles in these magazines were difficult to understand, and to Huang Liang, they looked like a heavenly book, so he just looked at the title and passed.

However, one of the articles entitled "The Possibility of Spontaneous Consciousness in Neural Networks of Mechanical and Internet of Things" attracted his attention because the article was signed by Charlie Dickinson.

The knowledge involved in the article is relatively wide, covering almost all fields of physics and life sciences. Fortunately, it only puts forward a hypothesis without using any formula to prove it. The general idea is that when information flows in the Internet of Things, as the number of network nodes and information increases, the chaos of the information will increase, and many information will be randomly annihilated, and corresponding new unknown information will be generated. This will cause information. Out of control, thereby generating active awareness outside of the program.

Huang Liang didn't know anything about the physics and informatics theories, but it did not prevent him from understanding what the article was saying. It can be said that Dickinson's writing skills are very strong, explain the profound things in simple terms, and speak very well.

Huang Liang is very interested in the origin of consciousness. If the fluctuation of information can give birth to consciousness, are there many independent primitive consciousnesses in the world that humans have not discovered and recognized? For example, a TV or a computer, with its use, has actually produced a very primitive consciousness, but because it is too low-level, we can't see it?

For some reason, he suddenly thought of his mobile phone and quickly took a look at it from his pocket. The folder named GHOST is on the screen, lying quietly, as if it was just an ordinary APP abandoned by the user.

He thought of the time before jailbreaking, and thought that this thing might be connected to a computer somewhere in Wuzhong, maybe there are many computers there, forming a local area network, leading to a wide area network, and even entering the closed interior of the prison. The internet.

In the past, he thought it was just an advanced virus program, similar to the legendary agent using encrypted communication technology, but now it is far from simple.

Huang Liang flipped through other articles. Except for a few articles on medical breakthroughs published on "Cell", most of the other articles were not related to him and could not understand.

He finally opened the "Science Citation Index", which is the world's most authoritative scientific citation database. The English name is "", or SCI for short.

Huang Liang knew this when he was studying. Although he was not in line with the world at that time, he already paid great attention to international influence in academics. Generally, PhD graduates in science are required to publish at least one SCI paper. Now some schools have required more than two papers. Whether a paper is included in SCI is the most important or even the only evaluation criterion for unit ranking and project review in all scientific research fields.

But now they are all cloud databases, and only these old scientists will buy paper index documents home and store them. Besides collecting them, what else can they be used for?

Huang Liang shook his head, closed the book, and turned on the phone. He originally planned to use a search engine to find Dickinson’s paper, but when he saw GHOST on the phone desktop, he opened it and entered a line of text:

Help me find Charlie Dickinson's papers published in SCI.

He wasn't sure if he would get a response, he just wanted to give it a try. In the past, he always regarded GHOST as a special way to contact Aoki, but Aoki hasn't contacted him for a long time.

After typing on the phone, he sat back on the sofa, took a sip of the tea, and found that the tea was cold.

He saw Hou Biao sitting there motionless, like a sculpture. He thought of the beautiful assistant of the professor. If he were here at this time, the atmosphere would be much more harmonious. But I don't know why, Mei Ziqing, who has always been inseparable from the professor, did not come.

Just when Huang Liang felt bored, the phone vibrated.

There is an additional message in GHOST. He opened it and saw a long list of the titles of the papers, the time of publication and the name of the journal——

"The Fluctuation of Information Entropy and the Production of Consciousness"

"The relationship between the dividing line of infant intelligence and the input of information"

"The Non-equivalent Relationship Between Intelligence and Logical Thinking"

"Misunderstandings of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Algorithms"

...

Dickinson's research field is very broad, but his direction is very clear, mainly focusing on the intersection of informatics and life sciences. From the titles of some articles, it can be seen that he has unique insights into the generation of consciousness.

Huang Liang originally planned to let GHOST send over some of the specific papers for a look, but thinking about reading the paper pictures on such a small screen, or the difficult articles that I don't understand very much, it must not be a pleasant experience.

This phone has a small screen and an old style. Originally he was about to change it a long time ago, and the organization bought him the latest mobile phone, but because of Aoki and GHOST, he still insisted on using this.

He dismissed the idea of ​​letting GHOST pass the paper, but finally got a response from GHOST, he wanted to say something more, as if he had met an old friend.

He asked in it: Where did Aoki go?

About two seconds later, GHOST responded: South Pacific~lightnovelpub.net~ Huang Liang asked: Can you contact him?

GHOST Answer: No, it has been out of contact for one year.

Huang Liang was taken aback. He had a foreboding if something was wrong with Aoki before, and he also found some special channels to inquire about it. Of course, he couldn't ask about Aoki openly. He could only inquire from the side and heard some wind. But the news from GHOST is undoubtedly more accurate.

If Aoki disappears, it means that Huang Liang can only fight alone, and has become even more lonely ever since.

There is another thing he is very worried about. Last time, he tricked Aoki into the closed dream corridor. As a result, when Aoki came out, the whole life he experienced disappeared like a dream, and he was dragged. Back to the moment before Aoki entered the dream corridor.

The true and false life was still indelible in his memory, and it almost made him schizophrenic. He spent a lot of time for his memory to distinguish reality from that life.

Now that Aoki has disappeared again, will it bring the world back to a certain time point in the past when he returns someday? The point is that this time Aoki’s disappearance has nothing to do with Huang Liang, and it has nothing to do with Huang Liang when he comes back, so even if Huang Liang goes back to the past, he will not be able to bring back the memories of this life. For him, when Aoki returned, the world collapsed and destroyed, just like that time, when he came back, the rest of the world was unaware of it.

Huang Liang prayed in his heart that something like that would not happen again.

He asked GHOST: So who are you?

GHOST said: I am GHOST.

Huang Liang asked: Are you a spontaneous consciousness on the Internet?

He waited for a long time, and GHOST did not reply again.
