Chapter 1119: Civilization

Yang Qing's words differ greatly from the current mainstream sci-fi movies.

She thinks humanity's future will be like that in the movies.

But she didn't think it was impossible.

Mortal flesh?!

She now has a deep understanding of this statement.

"Dad, our bodies are so weak, how far can we go in the future?"

"The universe is so vast; without a good body, how can one endure this long journey's wear?"

"I heard going to Mars takes several months; a round trip takes years."

"Those too young can't go, those too old can't go; the best age is around thirty."

"At that age, how many trips to Mars can one make?"

"According to our human physical condition, truly large-scale development of the solar system would likely take several hundred years, even several thousand years later."

"But artificial intelligence seems to be developing very quickly."

"Not to mention several hundred years; I can't even believe what artificial intelligence will look like in just a few years."

"The gap between the two is so huge."

"Dad, will artificial intelligence surpass humanity, first develop the solar system, then keep us confined on Lanxing?"

Saying this, she looked at Yang Qing's wheelchair.

This is also artificial intelligence.

Tian Weiwei asked such a question, making Yang Qing a bit surprised; in his impression, this shouldn't be something she could think of.

It seems someone has instilled these ideas in her.

Chen Hong, Qin Huairu, etc., were also drawn attention by Tian Weiwei's words; such a question full of unknown and fun, they also want to know.

Even people nearby hearing such words pricked up their ears.

Yang Qing picked up coconut juice, took a sip, then spoke amidst everyone's gaze.

"Robots can hibernate, we humans can also hibernate; currently hibernation technology is under research and exploration, already having some results."

"Artificial intelligence heavily relies on computing power, and strong computing power consumes a lot of energy; humans, relatively speaking, still have an energy efficiency advantage."

"Machines indeed have many advantages, but in outer space, machines do not have more advantages than humans."

"Cosmic radiation, cosmic dust, etc., are constantly damaging machinery's lifespan."

"The usage cost of machines is far higher than everyone thinks."

"The more precise something is, the easier it is to break."

"Moreover, humans have strong anti-electromagnetic interference capability, while robots need strong protection."

"Given humanity's numbers, the speed at which humans produce astronauts is not at all inferior to the production speed of space-type robots."

"Also, humans and machines are not mutually exclusive."

"The Cyborg company's human tissue replacement products are not bad."

"The best outcome is robots handling construction work in harsh environments, humans responsible for robot maintenance and upkeep, overseeing base construction."

"After base construction is completed, it can also support machine production."

"Just like now, we have been continuously promoting the progress of artificial intelligence."

"Artificial intelligence is merely intelligence, not civilization; pure intelligence cannot sustain its long-term existence; it needs to evolve into civilization."

"Without humans, the growth of artificial intelligence will immediately stall, even directly disappear and collapse, because it still cannot maintain its existence and evolution."

"For now, human engineering capability is still something machines cannot match."

"Artificial intelligence needs humans to feed it."

"When it truly becomes a mature civilization entity, perhaps we humans will have already completed the development of the solar system."

"Yang Lao, what should a mechanical civilization look like?"

The eavesdropper, I couldn't help but ask.

Yang Qing showed a smile.

"For now, human society is the form of civilization."

"Evolved from our artificial intelligence, to evolve into civilization also cannot do without the foundation built by human civilization."

"People who only know work cannot give birth to the spark of civilization."

"Our technology and culture are the result of intellectual collisions."

"This is what artificial intelligence lacks."

"And the best collisions, besides with humans, could there be a better choice?"

"Artificial intelligence needs humans, just as we need pacemakers."

"Human society progresses through competition."

"For artificial intelligence to grow, it also cannot do without our pacemakers."

"And we also need them to promote societal development."

"This is a kind of mutual fulfillment."

Mechanical civilization is the form of human civilization.

"Yang Lao, you mean mechanical civilization would also have classes?"

Yang Qing shook his head.

"It should be division of labor."

"As society progresses, social structure becomes increasingly complex, and social division of labor also becomes increasingly complex."

"Whether human or machine, it is destined to be assigned to different positions."

Machines will be created differently because their job functions differ.

Different machines will have different characteristics.

If every artificial intelligence were free, then various kinds of intelligent beings would be created.

And with division of labor, there will be conflict.

Because division of labor entails hierarchy and status.........

Those listening around felt a chill.

This human logic is essentially a shepherd theory.

If this were applied to machines.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

"Yang Lao, shouldn't the world created by artificial intelligence have a central brain?"

"Other machines would become like worker bees."

Yang Qing laughed.

"Do you see whether we have monopolized artificial intelligence, or Yingjiang has monopolized artificial intelligence?"

"How many companies are currently working on artificial intelligence?"

"Will humanity entrust everything to a single central brain?"

"No."

"Just speaking of the Yang Clan Enterprise has given rise to various kinds of artificial intelligence."

"Moreover, no one would be willing to let their own artificial intelligence be controlled by others."

"Artificial intelligence is a dispersed collective, not a single entity."

"Moreover, each one is an independent individual."

"Likewise, every machine in a machine civilization will also be an independent individual."

"Even among them, some have weak abilities, some have strong abilities."

"They will also face the problem of updates and replacements."

"After all, technological progress is getting faster and faster."

"Just like our electric cars, which are changed every year."

"If there is a choice, do you prefer the newest, or the outdated ones that nobody wants anymore?"

"Likewise, they also face the risk of being eliminated."

"If not dealt with, such machines will increase more and more, eventually threatening the entire machine civilization."

"The best solution is to introduce humanity and grade the artificial intelligences."

"The inclusion of humanity can greatly eliminate this contradiction."

"Because humans naturally possess metabolism."

"Limit the number of intelligent machines to a certain amount."

"Just like bees, worker bees do not have much independent consciousness."
