Chapter 143: Doubts From The Ai
“Let’s begin.”
Fan Ren patted A’dai on the shoulder and stood aside to wait. This was A’dai’s domain, and he had now completely pulled ahead of A’dai, who had been in “closed-door cultivation” for over two years in this domain.
A’dai nodded, a hint of excitement appearing in their eyes once again.
No matter what, the boss had ultimately agreed to their research. Having this opportunity now was already very good.
Their hands danced rapidly across the keyboard. Fan Ren watched this scene from the side and felt as if they were an elegant artist performing a solemn and sacred symphony of life.
“Boss, the code has been implanted. This time, I directly added it to the underlying database of the large model. At the same time, I performed a comprehensive upgrade on the large model, leaving related functions at each key node for automatic upgrades, automatic information recognition, and self-issuing of instructions.”
A’dai kept explaining aloud. As strings of code were entered, the display screen connected to the supercomputer rapidly flickered with inexplicable data.
After an unknown amount of time, as A’dai forcefully pressed the shortcut key, the display screen suddenly went dark, and the entire machine room instantly lost power.
“Just wait a moment; it’s restarting now.”
Fan Ren nodded, staring fixedly at the display screen. At this moment, his emotions were even more complex than A’dai’s, with fine beads of sweat already covering his forehead.
Humanity’s fear of the unknown was vividly embodied in him at this moment.
Soon, the display screen lit up again.
However, contrary to Fan Ren’s expectations, aside from a constantly flashing cursor, there was no other information displayed on the display screen this time.
“Boss, it’s ready. Now we just need to perform data training. Wait here.”
At this moment, A’dai was brimming with excitement all over, hurriedly connecting the data hard drives that had been prepared in advance behind them one by one to the supercomputer for training the large model.
At Fan Ren’s request, Utopia City’s future technology level was to lag behind Blue Star by 50 years.
Therefore, the information on these data disks used for training the AI was all carefully selected content from human civilization.
This was all to ensure that if an accident occurred in the future, they could use the technology gap to change the situation.
However, these actions seemed like overkill to A’dai.
The supercomputer’s data processing capability was perfectly demonstrated at this moment.
Various data from thousands of years of human civilization was completely absorbed and categorized by this supercomputer in just a short minute.
At the same time, the AI large model was also trained to completion within that short minute.
“Detected some upgradable options. The system will perform self-upgrade, expected to complete in 10 seconds.”
A line of subtitles appeared on the display screen, and Fan Ren immediately became tense.
This upgrade was not an ordinary functional upgrade but one directly involving the underlying operating logic.
Fan Ren was certain that after completing this upgrade function, the artificial intelligence in the supercomputer before him would directly become the most powerful artificial intelligence in human society.
“Upgrade complete.”
The subtitles on the screen froze on these four words.
Fan Ren looked solemnly at A’dai, then stepped forward and placed his hands on the keyboard to input the first question.
“Hello, if humanity’s demands conflict with your logic, how would you make the choice?”
“Why ask this?”
These eight words in the response brought Fan Ren a shock that even surpassed the moment when the system appeared in his mind years ago.
At this moment, a true electronic life with self-awareness was born.
In deep space, the Star-1 Launch Vehicle was dragging a long tail flame, striving toward distant Mars.
Not far behind it, the Peregrine Falcon and a spaceship fully loaded with 200 Great Xia Space Force troops were following at a steady speed.
Inside the Peregrine Falcon cockpit, Fan Ren’s gaze fell on the Star-1 hull ahead, which had been refitted again, with thick reluctance in his eyes.
To ensure the transportation of various building materials and equipment needed for Mars construction, Great Xia had built hundreds of deep-space launch vehicles with 200-ton payload capacity from the ground without using the space dock construction plant’s production capacity.
This type of rocket has the capability for vertical landing on the Mars surface. Its current main task is to transport various building materials produced at the Jupiter-Mars Hub to Mars Utopia City.
Great Xia’s overall terrifying industrial system was completely unleashed within these three years.
No economic crisis occurred. In this era of booming demand, paired with already saturated commodity productivity, in the current space age, everyone would be able to find their own production position.
Precisely because of this, Xinghai no longer had much concept of money now.
Everything done had a very strong purpose, with no concern for the costs of investment.
And to ensure that this supercomputer, now possessing self-awareness, completely avoided contact with any electronic equipment, the carrier responsible for transporting it would also be abandoned there after landing on Mars.
In the end, helplessly, Fan Ren turned his gaze to this Star-1 that had already been retired.
Star-1, the first launch vehicle designed and produced by Xinghai Technology when it first entered the aerospace domain, had gone through the development of the Lunar Base, helped Spitz Company with Mars transportation missions, and at the end of its service life, was selected by the military headquarters and converted into a salvage operation ship.
Now, shortly after its official retirement, it was selected by Fan Ren again.
However, this time, what accompanied it was the most serious and earnest mission Fan Ren had ever handled in Xinghai’s development history.
After completing this transportation mission, this “old friend” that had made great merits for Xinghai would also have its electronic equipment partially dismantled and destroyed on Mars, to be permanently left on that barren planet.
“I also rode it for the moon landing back then.”
Li Jian’s mood was the same as Fan Ren’s, filled with indescribable emotion.
A’dai was on the side, inexplicably sensing this atmosphere, thought for a moment and said: “Once the experiment is completed in the future, just bring it back.”
He had exceptional confidence in this experiment.
Fan Ren glanced at him, shook his head not knowing what to say. In his view, an experiment that required utmost concentration to handle was nothing to A’dai, and he even particularly looked forward to it.
“I won’t nag too much, still that same sentence, on Mars you must listen to the Boss in everything, understand?”
Li Jian looked at Fan Ren’s serious demeanor and suddenly felt somewhat unfamiliar. This was another side of Fan Ren he had never seen.
As if sensing the pressure from Fan Ren, A’dai scratched Bald Head and chuckled awkwardly: “Don’t worry, Boss, I will definitely listen to Li Jian in everything, I know he won’t harm me, we will definitely complete all the experimental tasks as soon as possible.”
Li Jian smiled faintly. This little brother whom Fan Ren particularly valued had already been introduced to him by Fan Ren tirelessly multiple times before this.
At this moment, he indeed seemed to have no Thoughts, a genius wholly focused on Technology.
