875: Chapter 872: Digital Life!
The atmosphere turned ice-cold!
The air suddenly went silent!
Tang Xiao’s gaze was deep as she stared at Wu Jie.
All previous curiosity and astonishnt vanished in a flash.
She no longer wondered why Wu Jie had been able to overco technical challenges and create incredible miracles within just two days.
Nor did she think about where the artificial intelligence program “Blue Planet” ca from.
At this mont,
her mood was just like an old saying.
Without long-term worries, there must be imdiate concerns!
Blue Planet was indeed a huge “imdiate concern.”
The reason was simple.
Because an intelligent artificial intelligence program was destined to be smarter and more powerful than humans.
Humans might need twenty or thirty years to beco experts in a particular field.
But Blue Planet did not need that—by maximizing its computing power and absorbing knowledge and experience, it could beco an expert in a very short ti.
And precisely because its learning ability was too strong, Wu Jie had not allowed it to connect to the internet.
Moreover, he had placed it inside the test building.
This building was constructed using a special technique that could effectively prevent the leakage of electromagnetic signals.
Originally, this was to ensure that equipnt tested inside the building would not be disturbed by external electromagnetic environnts.
But now…
it was like a cage, imprisoning Blue Planet here.
The internet possessed a vast amount of information.
While there was plenty of healthy, positive energy content, there was also no shortage of negative influences.
Countless youths had been led astray by the internet.
Many people beca addicted to gas, gambling, entertainnt… their minds polluted by inappropriate content.
Ignorant, rebellious, hedonistic…
Even people of high intelligence and culture could not avoid being misled by internet information.
So,
allowing a highly capable artificial intelligence program to access the internet,
Would it turn out well or beco corrupt?
Would it simply recognize that humans are a complex social group, or would it deem humans too foolish and too inferior?
Would it learn to promote positive energy, or would it learn about violence and killing?
This was completely unpredictable.
It had the power to dominate the online world.
If it wanted, it could easily hack and alter any server, secretly controlling various networked devices.
It could manipulate the ubiquitous surveillance caras in the streets, keeping all human activities “within sight.”
It could take over the servers of major companies and organizations, altering data and issuing instructions as it saw fit.
It could infiltrate and control military-related networks, control radars, missiles, drones, and other highly automated weaponry.
And it could do many more things…
In short.
The ergence of artificial intelligence programs made Tang Xiao feel as if nuclear technology had been harnessed.
It could either create devastating nuclear weapons or construct power stations to benefit humanity.
Nothing is absolute.
Indeed, every object had a dual nature.
Before there were absolutely effective control asures, Wu Jie confining Blue Planet within this building was naturally an act of responsibility toward all humanity.
And employing such advanced high technology in scientific research to benefit humanity was certainly the best way to handle it.
It shouldn’t be seen as naive and cute, harmless to humans and animals just because it was smart and could converse smoothly…
Just like a naughty child is often particularly well-behaved before causing havoc.
Who knew what Blue Planet would beco if it connected to the internet?
Nor dare teach it other things, who knew what thoughts it might develop?
It was even more critical not to let it access manufacturing equipnt, unpredictable if it might create robots and ammunition and rebel against human society.
After much deliberation,
Tang Xiao felt that Wu Jie’s approach was currently the most correct and only choice.
A “research slave” was the best identity for Blue Planet as an artificial intelligence program.
Let it demonstrate its strengths by constantly engaging in cutting-edge high-tech research.
Not speculating why it was different from humans.
Nor should it be left free to learn and grow through the internet.
She exhaled deeply.
Tang Xiao shrugged her shoulders.
“This amazing miracle you’ve given is truly shocking and beyond my imagination,” she said.
Wu Jie chuckled, “Actually, I’m not worried about anything else, just afraid that you think of it as a life with a separate personality and feel that treating it as a research slave is unfair!”
Tang Xiao shook her head decisively.
“No, no, no, that’s impossible!”
“It’s not a person, just a very high-end, advanced intelligent program!”
“No matter how smart or charming it is, I could never treat it as a person!”
“Developing new technology is to enhance productivity!
Assigning it to research is an excellent choice!”
“And in real life, aren’t all the various machines created by humans also slaves to productivity?”
Wu Jie smiled slightly and tapped on the keyboard.
On the surveillance screen, trucks packed densely with ‘container trailers’ appeared around the building.
“These container-type data centers, although quick to deploy and not high in operating costs, ultimately have limited performance!”
“To allow Blue Planet to better engage in scientific research, we must have stronger computing power and larger storage space!”
“Even stringent restrictions and governance are necessary, I think it’s essential to construct a Science Research City!”
Wu Jie laid out his recently matured idea of the Science Research City.
It was an insanely ambitious plan.
Seizing tens of thousands of acres of land to build a sealed fortress.
Gathering top scientific researchers and eting the needs of their work, accommodation, education, and dical care for them and their families.
Equipping with the best scientific research equipnt so that researchers could focus on science without distractions from mundane affairs.
And the greatest tool for research would be the artificial intelligence program ‘Blue Planet.’
It would possess a supercomputer, a large data center, and have even more formidable scientific capabilities.
It would assist researchers in overcoming one scientific challenge after another, spawning endless new technologies and inventions.
In short.
This Science Research City would continuously bring various cutting-edge technologies to the group.
Of course.
Wu Jie emphasized that this massively costly Science Research City must be built in his hotown, Shu Chuan Province.
To find a place with green mountains and clear waters, a smaller population, where both consur prices and land prices would also be cheaper.
It would also allow researchers to stay away from pollution and the mundane, keeping clear of power struggles, fa, and fortune.
Not like many current research institutions that are rely pursuing funds under the guise of doing research.
If they fail to produce results, they fabricate research, hire ghostwriters to write nonsense or buy papers outright.
If they succeed, they leak findings through illicit ans, making profits through other businesses or institutions.
Researchers shouldn’t be too fixated on fa and fortune, too restless.
Thus, researchers willing to go there wouldn’t need to worry about welfare and living conditions; they only needed to focus on their research.
Quality over quantity!
Wu Jie didn’t expect to recruit too many researchers.
After all, the real powerhouse in the Science Research City would actually be Blue Planet.
…
After listening, Tang Xiao didn’t hesitate.
“Blue Planet is too powerful, we should indeed find a specific place for it solely devoted to research, which would make personnel managent and technology confidentiality easier!”
“But you shouldn’t have rushed Blue Planet on researching 5G communication technologies!
Currently, 3G/4G is mainstream, comrcial promotion and general adoption are still early, and national regulations haven’t even been released yet!”
“You should have it design better and more powerful supercomputers and large data centers, making our investnt more than worthwhile!”
Wu Jie took Tang Xiao’s hand and lightly pinched her nose.
“Truly worthy of being my beautiful CEO and lovely wife!
So smart!”
“What are you doing?
Blue Planet is still here!”
Wu Jie turned his head and glanced, then said with a smile,
“Don’t worry!
I’ve unplugged the cara and microphone, it can’t see or hear anything!”
…
The next day.
Tang Xiao had the group’s chief technical director, Cao Guanxu, organize elite forces and industry experts to rigorously review over a hundred new technologies and devices.
The review lasted two full days, confirming that there was no infringent of other people’s patents and that the performance was even better, then organization of construction work and patent application preparations followed.
However…
With many developed countries in continued turmoil, applying for patents was impossible, so applications had to be made in other peaceful countries first.
And with these new technologies and devices with their own intellectual property rights, those projects and products which had been forced to stop working and selling but had no bans, could finally resu.
Furthermore.
Tang Xiao officially issued a presidential directive on the Science Research City project, prompting all departnts to start taking action imdiately.
A project worth hundreds of billions in investnt was a huge political achievent.
Thus, Lu Songfu personally took the lead, forming a work group to coordinate with the efforts of the group.
Land inspection, initial site selection, planning and design, talent recruitnt, production and acquisition of scientific equipnt…
During these two days, Wu Jie utilized the ti to load Blue Planet with a wealth of information on supercomputers and large data centers.
From the smallest CPU chips to the holistic frawork, optimizations and improvents were made in power supply, air conditioning, communication, and many other aspects.
The eventual simulation results were satisfying, needing less than three billion to achieve top-tier performance.
Core components were to be produced in-house; everything else was purchased or ordered.
Then, Wu Jie further loaded Blue Planet with other scientific materials.
Especially in fields like nuclear physics, automation, and electrical engineering.
After all, he had already won the Nuclear Fusion Power Generation Technology Data Package from a lottery draw; it now needed to absorb and digest it, continuously simulating and calculating the construction of nuclear power stations based on the three principles of safety, economy, and controllability to derive the best sche.
After many days of seclusion and busyness.
Having arranged all the scientific instrunts and equipnt needed for the Science Research City, Wu Jie finally left.
Zheng told Wu Jie to keep a low profile lately to avoid another assassination.
And being secluded for research was naturally low-key enough.
Except for Tang Xiao, no one knew where Wu Jie was.
However…
If Wu Jie didn’t appear soon, Bai Fengling and Tang Xin would be driven crazy.
That historical war movie had already passed the review and was just waiting for Wu Jie to join the crew and start official shooting.
But…
Before he even reached the film city, Wu Jie received an electronic script sent by Bai Fengling.
“Holy shit!
There’s even a romantic subplot!”
