Chapter 129: Inevitable Problems
A’dai’s eyes were filled with eagerness.
When he first saw the request sent by his AI, he knew it was an electronic life with self-awareness that he had created in his hands.
However, after being rejected by him, the AI fell back into its previous mechanical repetition.
“Boss, I just want to add that original code back in and see if it will produce any other changes.”
Fan Ren rubbed his brow.
He knew that a technology expert like A’dai pursued the purest technology research and development; people like them had no other ideas such as the achievement of ‘creating life’.
They only had a pure pursuit of technology.
But this problem had too great an impact; Fan Ren had seen many film and television dramas that envisioned it.
Once artificial intelligence extends its hand to every aspect of humanity, it is no exaggeration to say that with a flip of the hand, it would have the ability to completely destroy human civilization.
But at the same time, he also knew that artificial intelligence with self-awareness would undoubtedly provide enormous help to human development.
Seeing Fan Ren’s attitude like this, A’dai also fell silent.
“Boss, our development has always been unavoidable of this problem. Since Nvidia created the concept of artificial intelligence, over these many years, we have been unable to avoid it.
Even our Xinghai Supercomputer, its basic architecture is based on artificial intelligence, which gives it the huge computing power advantage it has today. Only artificial intelligence can better and more accurately utilize computers to bring unparalleled powerful computing power.”
Fan Ren glanced at him, noncommittal.
But this still could not persuade him; he found it hard to agree to this code that allowed self-upgrading.
Seeing this, A’dai irritably scratched his bald forehead.
Fan Ren walked to the window. Outside the window, a wide-bodied spaceship was slowly entering the port docking area.
This was a spaceship designed and manufactured by Xinghai at the request of the newly appointed United States President Mark, capable of passenger carrying and cargo transportation.
Due to the need to consider Mars landing, the spaceship was equipped with 4 expensive nuclear fusion engines.
Otherwise, the power provided by a single nuclear fusion engine would not be enough for it to have the power for Mars landing and take-off.
Currently, only two have been built, responsible for transportation missions of personnel and materials between Earth and Mars.
Of course, although the manufacturing cost is high, the service fee is also not low.
Moreover, the construction fee is borne upfront by Spitz Company, and during the subsequent usage period, the spaceship’s service fee will be deducted from this construction fee.
Until it is fully offset, then new service fees need to be paid to Xinghai.
And the ownership of this spaceship still belongs to Xinghai Technology.
Under the continuous and uninterrupted investment from Spitz Company, the current Mars Base has expanded several times, with as many as 50 resident astronauts.
Oh right.
There is also the first human ‘space baby’ born in space and later sent to Mars to grow up.
It is also under this kind of investment at all costs that investors and other capital are very receptive, and Spitz Company’s shares have not shrunk due to Great Xia’s aerospace achievements; instead, they have risen even higher.
After all, it is the only high technology company in the United States that can keep up with Great Xia’s pace.
It is also under this circumstance that after Wells was ousted by angry people following the previous conflict, Mark was elected as the new president without any pressure.
Thinking of the other’s legendary life, Fan Ren couldn’t help but be stunned.
An idea was born accordingly.
As A’dai said, intelligent devices have now begun to be widely applied in human society.
This problem cannot be avoided at all.
Even if there is no A’dai today, there will be other scientists exploring this track in the future.
Rather than being caught off guard in the future, it is better to prepare early.
Moreover, who can guarantee that advanced artificial intelligence with self-awareness cannot be utilized by humanity.
Fan Ren turned around, looking at this subordinate who had followed him for seven or eight years.
His shaved hair probably would never grow back.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he is ‘terrifyingly strong’.
“I understand what you mean. Give me some time. During this process, don’t stop; continue to deepen your research in the AI intelligent domain. When the time comes, this project will still need you to lead it.”
Upon hearing this, A’dai’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Don’t rush. First help me complete the nano-coat. Without this, the subsequent plans cannot be arranged.”
“Got it, Boss. Don’t worry, leave the remaining debugging work to me.”
A’dai excitedly shouted and rushed out without saying goodbye to Fan Ren.
After it quieted down, Fan Ren stood alone at the office windowsill, his gaze falling on the spaceships coming and going at the port.
These spaceships are all equipped with intelligent operating systems and generally do not require pilots for manual operation unless there is an accident.
At this moment, whether it is the massive Giant Elephant Class or the ‘small’ Young Dragon, none of their operating actions have any redundancy; every posture and movement is precise in one step.
These are the huge improvements brought by intelligent systems with learning capabilities based on the graphene chip platform.
The benefits are absolutely enormous, in data processing, automation, predictive analysis, process optimization, and more; it is precisely because of it that things are even simpler and more efficient.
He is not one to hesitate; once he decided, he took out the telephone, flipped through numbers, and dialed them out.
Fan Ren’s plan involves huge impacts and must be discussed with several chiefs of Great Xia and obtain unanimous support before it can proceed.
Otherwise, Xinghai alone cannot accomplish it.
Several months later, Fan Ren brought the nano-coat that already had preliminary usability, along with A’dai and his personal bodyguard Dan Wu; the three boarded a highly sci-fi styled spaceship at the innermost part of the port.
In just a few hours, this spaceship dragged a long tail flame and landed at Guanghan Palace Base on the Moon.
Xinghai exclusive custom model, a dual-engine shuttle designed by Fan Ren with the help of the supercomputer, with a body length of only 15 meters.
It employs Great Xia’s engine 3D nozzle technology, giving this spaceship vertical takeoff and landing capability.
After the spaceship landed, Fan Ren apologetically glanced at his diligent bodyguard Dan Wu, who was always behind him like a transparent person, then nodded to A’dai.
He and A’dai pressed at their wrists, and immediately gray substance frantically emerged from their collars, cuffs, palms, and facial skin.
Nano-coat!
Fan Ren then reached out and put the breathing mask handed over by Dan Wu beside him over his nose and mouth.
Visibly, the nanorobots sealing Fan Ren’s mouth, nose, and eyes quickly receded, exposing these organs for breathing and observation.
He kicked his legs twice and twisted his body; in terms of the sensations from his body, aside from merely noticing a faint touch on his skin, there was nothing else uncomfortable.
Over there, A’dai was already accustomed to it.
Seeing that Fan Ren was fully geared up, he nodded to Dan Wu, who had put on the pressure suit, and after confirming it was correct, he opened the spaceship cabin door.
Moon, this was also A’dai’s first time coming.
