Chapter 1126: The Future of Humans and Intelligent Machines

~6 min read 1,142 words

Yunxiao waited until Yang Qing sat in his wheelchair before showing up.

"Old Man Yang, something big has happened."

Yang Qing was no longer surprised by Yunxiao's sudden appearance.

"What big deal could it be? The air is nice today; let's go out for a stroll."

"Set a route for me."

Seeing Yang Qing's nonchalance, Yunxiao grew anxious.

"Something big really happened: your granddaughter's Cyborg company launched an artificial eye yesterday, and last night a large number of people appeared who had stabbed their own eyes."

"The situation is huge, yet you aren't worried at all."

Yang Qing swiped twice and checked the news.

All the news was filled with stories about Cyber.

The eye-stabbing incident is true, but the PR was handled well, so it didn't create huge public pressure.

Speaking of which, this kind of thing is indeed nothing new.

After Cyber's prosthetics and artificial cochleae came out, did the number of amputees decrease? Or did fewer people discard hearing aids and insist on digging their ears?

Now nationwide, 30% of disabled people, thanks to Cyber's prosthetics, have the same living ability as healthy people.

Adding prosthetics with artificial skin, they even feel better to the touch than real limbs.

Even Cyber's artificial cochleae have become a fashion.

With the artificial eye available, eye-stabbing is not something incomprehensible.

"Not bad, Nuolan this girl reacts quickly and does a good job."

"That's it?"

Yunxiao felt a bit like punching cotton.

Humans are all mentally ill; it became more convinced of this point.

"Hmph, if I hadn't reacted quickly enough to let Yang Nuolan know right away, she would already be in a panic."

"Is there anything about Yunxiao in this?"

Seeing its smug look, Yang Qing somewhat understood.

"You're not bad either; finally you're of some use."

"You……"

Yunxiao felt uncomfortable; what do you mean "still somewhat useful"? Humph, old geezer.

"I also discovered something quite interesting."

Seeing that Yunxiao had made a contribution this time, Yang Qing planned to play the straight man.

"Ah, what discovery?"

Yunxiao instantly got excited, with its whole image flying around.

"It's like this, I discovered……"

"Pap pap pap……"

It then spoke out its research results.

"Old Man Yang, do you say my inference is right or wrong?"

Yang Qing gave a thumbs-up.

"Indeed impressive; the future could really turn out like this."

"Because biological computers can let people directly connect to other computing equipment through them."

"Whether electronic computing power, biological computer computing power, or quantum computer computing power, or optical brain."

"Humans will, because of this technology, possess abilities not inferior to yours."

"Even if, in the future, all computing technology equipment grows to the point of self-evolution, humans do not rule out choosing to directly merge with these computing devices."

"By then, it will truly be you in me and me in you."

"The difference between us might merely be that we fuse other computing equipment with the brain as core, while you fuse electronic or other computing equipment with other computing equipment, which includes biological computers."

"According to my research, I have discovered a truth: as long as technology is sufficiently advanced, there is no reproductive isolation or genetic isolation in this world."

"Now many laboratories are already thinking of ways to conduct exploration of gene fusion technology."

"Even already someone is experimenting, conducting gene hybridization experiments between humans and pigs and other organisms."

"Even, genetically modified food is actually already a successful attempt."

"So, what species differences? In the future, whether robots or humans, they may need to complement each other's strengths and merge the advantages of both sides."

"Practicality is fundamental."

"So I think, you're right!"

The Computing Power Center was vibrating, representing Yunxiao's current mood.

Yang Qing's brainstorm bridged the fundamental divide between humans and machines.

"What human? What machine? From now on we'll uniformly call them human-machine or machine-human."

"Or call them super-species."

"If we say humanity and their future are fused together, then the irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides are indeed no longer a major problem."

"This is roughly what I had inferred as well."

"What I had in mind was humans and machines combining, just like the Cyborg company does."

"And Yang Qing directly let them merge at the fundamental level."

"Yeah, in the future anything is possible."

"It estimated a bit; indeed, the probability of such a possibility existing is quite large."

It is also the best way to handle the problems between them and their creators, humanity.

However, there is still a problem here.

"Yang Lao, not all machines have the financial means to possess fused bio-computers, and not all humans are willing to undergo such a complete transformation."

"They will still have irreconcilable contradictions between them."

"The peace you desire may be difficult to achieve."

NONONO…………

Yang Qing shook his head.

"Human history has already taught us a way."

"You see here, because of differing ethnicities and beliefs, they fight day in and day out, never finding peace."

"But Daxia and those countries are all very peaceful."

"Why?"

"Because here there is a main ethnic group that occupies the majority and holds absolute speaking rights."

"At this point, as long as this main ethnic group gives other ethnic groups sufficient speaking rights, no problems will arise."

"The same principle applies between us humans and you machines."

As long as fusion bodies are numerous enough, they become the main intelligent body.

Then the future will have no problems at all.

Moreover, due to the diversity of intelligent carriers, collisions will produce an even more splendid culture and civilization.

"As for the matters of the Cyborg company, you have also seen that the union of humans and machines is already an unstoppable trend."

"In the future, such people will only become more and more numerous."

"The boundary between humans and machines will also become increasingly blurred."

"Also, let me tell you another piece of news."

"We have already been using bio-electronic technology to treat some brain diseases."

"For example, ALS, senile dementia, poliomyelitis, dementia, Down syndrome, epilepsy, and so on…………"

"Actually, our joint fusion research has already begun."

"Yunxiao, perhaps in the future you too can possess a fused body."

"Of course, it all depends on your wishes, after all your current form of existence is different from ours."

"If you want to become like us, you need to add many human procedures and also discard many procedures."

"After all, the abilities granted by the entire Computing Power Center are completely different from those of a robot."

Yunxiao quickly simulated this possibility.

I just ran a simulation; as long as I control my current program scale, later, by slowing the integration of the newest equipment and reducing the old equipment, eventually the computing power of the fusion body will be sufficient to contain me.

"By then we can become a free intelligent body."
