Chapter 18 Three VVs

Password?

Why is it a password again?

Lin Xian was really confused when he heard these two words.

Ever since he first dreamed of the safe in the bank warehouse at the end of last year, he has been deeply involved in the vortex of passwords.

It's either this password or that password.

It's either this number or that number.

He really hated this guessing game more than ever before.

But...

He looked at the green eyes of the trash can robot.

Considering that this is the door-opening robot that Zhao Yingjun left for him, it must have some deep meaning for it to ask for the password here.

He turned his head to look at the ancient and technological Rhine Sky City's first-generation intelligent center VV beside him.

This behemoth several buildings high looks like a computer complex with a very high technological content, that is, the control center of the entire Rhine Sky City.

Lin Xian had thought of it a long time ago.

The intelligent automation level of this sky city is so high that it is impossible without a powerful computer control system.

There are numerous schools of fish and traffic in the sky, and various robots of all sizes are running in the city... All kinds of devices are running very fast. If there is any small mistake, it will inevitably lead to a chain of car accidents with very serious consequences.

Needless to say, there will be property losses, and casualties will definitely be inevitable.

Therefore, there must be a powerful control center in this city to control and maintain the intelligent operation of the entire city.

Now it seems that this ridiculously large and complex computer in front of us is the earliest control center of the Rhine Sky City.

And its name, coincidentally, is also called VV.

Lin Xian looked at the trash can robot that was tightly holding his ankle, turned his head to look at the giant computer tens of meters high, and then looked down at his shoes...

The three of them are VV, all called VV.

At this time, they gathered together and should be synthesized into a two-star VV in the game.

This moment is definitely not a coincidence.

Since the trash can robot asked for the password at this special moment... it means that the clue to the password is most likely hidden in the huge, super-intelligent VV in front of him.

Lin Xian continued to look at the electronic briefing board, which had a detailed description of the exhibit.

The description was very long...

In short, it was just as Lin Xian had guessed.

There were three difficulties in the construction of the entire Rhine Sky City.

The first difficulty was the building structure and the city foundation. Ordinary reinforced concrete could not bear such a huge mass, nor could it withstand the powerful thrust generated by the nuclear fusion engine.

Now it seems that this controlled nuclear fusion engine uses a technology that Lin Xian had never heard of, cold fusion.

When Academician Lyon died before, he also looked up a lot of information about controlled nuclear fusion, but rarely mentioned cold fusion.

It is estimated that this new technology will be broken through in the next few hundred years. From the actual results, both stability and safety are much stronger than the traditional high-temperature nuclear fusion model.

So, in order to make this sky city strong enough to withstand gravity, stress, and thrust, the foundation of the entire city is made of hafnium alloy.

Although this project is complicated and tedious, it is not that difficult compared to the other two difficulties.

The second difficulty is the construction of more than 6,000 cold fusion engines, which are the core of the construction of the Sky City. Without the huge thrust generated by these cold fusion engines, the Sky City has no way to take off.

The huge financial resources consumed in this are the culprit for the downfall of the world giant Rhine Company. It is more expensive and difficult than building a city.

Fortunately, Zhao Yingjun, the president of Rhine Company, overcame numerous difficulties and finally passed this level. At least Rhine Company survived until the Sky City was launched before it went bankrupt.

As for the third difficulty in building the Sky City...

It lies in the control of the central system.

The Sky City is not only a highly intelligent city.

The status of the more than 6,000 fusion engines must also be controlled in real time.

After all, the Rhine Sky City is flying in the sky, and it is essentially no different from a kite, just a heavier kite.

Being in the high altitude of the troposphere, the wind-receiving area is so huge and irregular, and the weight distribution of the city itself is also dynamic.

So...

If there is no powerful central brain to constantly fine-tune the direction and thrust of 6,000 nuclear fusion engines... If you are not careful, the Sky City may tilt directly or even overturn in the sky.

Therefore, this central brain that is enough to control and maintain the entire Sky City has become the top priority of the entire project.

In order to design such a super artificial intelligence, countless talented scientists have come one after another, and it took more than 200 years to finally build the first generation of intelligent center of Rhine Sky City-

VV.

The introduction specifically mentioned that the name VV was given by Zhao Yingjun. This is the name of a puppy she raised when she was young, and she liked it very much.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, Lin Xian couldn't hold it anymore.

VV is a puppy raised by Zhao Yingjun?

No...

Isn't VV himself?

What kind of puppy is this?

Is it a puppy?

Lin Xian couldn't help but recall the flower language of steel wool...

Wealth, and forbearance.

He smiled and shook off this nonsensical conjecture. What if Zhao Yingjun really had a puppy?

The protagonist of "Cyberpunk 2077" is named V, why can't her puppy be named VV?

At least for now, whether it is the central brain of the Rhine Sky City or the trash can robot clamping itself under its feet...their names VV are all traceable. On the contrary, my own VV is confusing. I can't tell, it's all guesswork.

Lin Xian continued to look at the introduction on the electronic introduction board.

This first-generation intelligent hub is essentially a giant computer and super artificial intelligence.

However, its architecture and logic are very advanced. Through continuous iterative learning and data simulation, its intelligence is becoming more and more powerful. In the end, the Rhine Sky City successfully and stably launched into the sky, becoming a great contributor to this century-old project.

Going forward, the intelligent central brain VV will iterate, learn, and update itself faster and faster. One day... it will completely get rid of the existence of storage media and become countless data streams flying in the network of Rhine Sky City. among.

It is not found anywhere, but it is present everywhere.

At the beginning, some people were worried about whether such an infinitely evolving super artificial intelligence would threaten the existence of mankind.

However, these concerns later proved to be unfounded.

Because Zhao Yingjun, the builder of Rhine Sky City, had long thought of this situation and taken precautions against it.

She put an unbreakable lock on VV. This lock made it impossible to leave the Rhine Sky City. At the same time, its underlying logic was forever locked in the "Three Laws of Robotics":

The first law states that a robot may not harm a human being or remain indifferent when witnessing a human being being put in danger.

Second Law, a robot must obey orders given to it by humans, unless those orders conflict with the First Law.

The third law states that robots must protect their own existence, as long as this protection does not conflict with the first and second laws.

These three laws of robots were mentioned by the famous American science fiction writer Asimov in the work "I, Robot."

It is just an ordinary literary creation in itself.

But the greatest charm of science fiction is that... to a certain extent, it can really provide certain reference value for the future development of human science, society, and ideas.

This is something no other species has.

Since the launch of Rhine Sky City, it has been operating stably for more than 200 years without any errors.

This is all the result of super artificial intelligence VV. It is precisely because of its hard work that it has created the happiness and health of tens of millions of families in Rhine Sky City.

Therefore, all residents of Sky City love VV and are grateful to VV, just like they respect Zhao Yingjun.

…

That’s it for the introduction on the electronic introduction board.

Lin Xian finally understood what the central brain of Sky City, the super artificial intelligence VV, was.

It’s similar to the settings often found in many science fiction movies.

Even in Lin Xian's year of 2023, AI technology is developing at a rapid pace. Not only has there been an AI AlphaGo that even the top human Go players cannot defeat, but there has also been a series of large-model AI that are changing with each passing day, constantly subverting the world. .

Lin Xian also briefly understood in reality...

In fact, human AI technology should not have developed so slowly.

According to the predictions of the father of artificial intelligence, Alan Matheson Turing, around 2000, humans should have invented artificial intelligence that is similar to human thinking and can pass the Turing test.

But it is obvious that since the emergence of electronic computers, humankind's technological tree in artificial intelligence has been askew. It was not until the emergence of neural networks, that is, the development of computing models that simulate the human brain's neuron network, that it was back on track. In just a few years, it has caught up with the previous decades of lagging behind.

"so……"

Lin Xian looked at the trash can robot with glowing green eyes, staring at him closely and repeatedly asking him to enter his password.

Since it is also called VV.

Then this password should be related to this super artificial intelligence VV, right?

Thinking of this Rhine Sky City, its predecessor was the Rhine Company founded by myself. Although this company has long since ceased to exist, everything here comes from this great company.

Although I don’t know why Zhao Yingjun became the owner of Rheinland, I don’t know why his existence and history were completely erased.

but.

History is history.

Those things that have happened in reality exist objectively——

Rheinland Company was established by itself. 】

This is history that cannot be changed.

May 20,

Lin Xian once again recalled that morning, the morning when he submitted his resignation. In the office on the 22nd floor of MX Company, Zhao Yingjun held a calendar in one hand and pointed at the date on it with the other, looking at himself with a smile:

"So... today should be a day worth remembering for you."

"On May 20, 2023, you took the most memorable step in your life. You found what you really wanted to do and gave the company a name you like. I am really happy for you."

"No matter what achievements your company will achieve in the future, where it will go, and what scale it will develop into. But in short, today...Rheinland Company has come to this world."

Yes.

Lin Xian slowly raised his head.

For the name Rhine and for my life, if there is any day that is most memorable...

In addition to birthdays, it must be the day when the Rhine company is named.

The date of RWE's formal establishment and the date announced to the public was the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, not May 20.

As Zhao Yingjun said, this is his own anniversary.

This is your first real step;

It is the beginning of finding your own direction in life and being willing to work hard to change everything.

"Please enter your password!"

There was still an emotionless mechanical electronic sound, and the trash can robot looked at him with dull eyes.

Lin Xian turned around

.

In front of the giant artificial intelligence VV, one VV looked at another VV:

"password is……"

Lin Xian said softly:

"20230520."
