The catastrophe has turned Manzhou into a dead city isolated from the world. As the ownership of resource property rights in various virtual cities expired one after another, Xiaozhi, who has the Manzhou Virtual World Account Agency and has the function of independent learning, gradually took over them and finally obtained the massive information resources and huge computing power of the virtual city of New World Manzhou City.

Dr. Liu Xiangdong once proposed a famous hypothesis.

If one day a system appears in the universe, its computing units are equivalent to that of human brain neurons, up to 86 billion; and it has the ability to uniformly schedule data exchange between each computing unit and surrounding computing unit, that is, a human brain-level supergiant cellular data network; plus an artificial intelligence simulation software to connect these computing units into a coordinated body - then this network will inevitably have independent thoughts and consciousness like the human brain.

Although this hypothesis is truly fully realized, almost as far as the distance between the ends of two symmetrical spiral arms of the Milky Way, the exploration and practice of this theory have benefited a lot from human civilization within a hundred years.

The underlying architecture protocol of the "Barn-Skynet" that brings great benefits to human society, and many technologies on this application layer - such as deep neural resonance sensing technology, full-real and super-real perception technology, New World virtual city system and other specific applications are actually Panoramic Company, which is completely controlled by Liu Xiangdong, and has achieved fruitful results in the process of verifying this theory.

In the twenty years after the catastrophe, Xiaozhi, who has virtual city-level storage computing resources, has made considerable self-progress.

Thanks to the independent learning of that part of the code among the "Smart Companions", Xiaozhi made great progress in information processing, algorithm iteration, etc.

However, in terms of the advanced functions of the human brain that distinguishes it from computers - association, creation, personality and emotions, Xiaozhi is still progressing slowly, almost equivalent to a six-year-old child.

Moreover, most of them are still at the level of "simulation". Those who are slightly more advanced are just vague simplified algorithms, which Xiaozhi himself calls - "intuition".

The reason is very simple, Skynet's resources are limited.

Among the 3,861 cities around the world, there are only eight million Skynet computing units allocated to Manzhou. Due to technology, the network latitude between the computing units designed by Skynet is only six layers.

Moreover, its connection method is not as efficient as the neuronal cellular network of the human brain.

With such poor resources, it takes a full 80 million years to have complex capabilities in the human brain associative and creative level, not only to store orders and operations.

But the great thing about Dr. Liu Xiangdong is that although due to the limitations of human science and technology, the system built by Panoramic Company cannot carry such a grand neuronal operation, he has theoretically demonstrated the feasibility of this implementation method in advance.

In other words, it points out the direction of development.

Xiaozhi, who left the virtual city of Skynet, is also very weak. After all, it is just an initial program designed by Liu Xiangdong when he was sixteen years old in order to verify his theory.

But it can also be said that Xiaozhi is actually the most primitive baseline version of the "Barn-Skynet" architecture, deep neural resonance sensing technology, full-real and super-real perception technology, virtual city systems and other famous advanced applications.

Xiaozhi, who has developed for twenty years, has also learned a set of advanced algorithms that are seamlessly connected to virtual cities.

A crystal storage cell can only contain the current Xiaozhi and the most essential parts developed by it - the original consciousness system, the learning algorithm system, the interface algorithm system, and the key experience system.

Therefore, once Xiaozhi shares the proxy permissions of the virtual city with Tangning, he can immediately achieve seamless connection, and then rely on the computing resources of the virtual city to become powerful again.

As for how powerful it can be, it depends on the permissions and resources that Tangning can obtain in the virtual city.

...

...

Before the catastrophe, most of human daily life in reality had been transferred to virtual cities for management.

Although Skynet has now been blocked into independent units at the city level, many historical information in real cities, such as videos, audios, and various files stored in virtual cities sent by local residents to virtual cities, are still stored in Skynet.

Real-time satellite monitoring of this city has also been operating normally.

As long as you can enter the address range of the local Skynet satellite, log in to the virtual city corresponding to the local area, and obtain city management permissions, you can read these things, analyze important information, and grasp the movements in the city in real time through the satellite.

It's ridiculous to say that such powerful functions have nothing to do with Tang Ning's motivation to connect Xiaozhi to his private server at the beginning.

At first he just wanted to enjoy Xiaozhi's most primitive function - intelligent companionship.

The existence of Xiaozhi and Tangyuan gave Tangning two partners to rely on and talk to, and comforted his soul.

It allows him to fight the kind of loneliness that is the only one left in the world since he woke up until now, which is so terrifying that he is so heartbroken that it can drive people crazy - loneliness.

As for such a unique way of cooperation, it is the product of Tangning and Xiaozhi's continuous discovery, learning, exploring, iterating and running-in.

The information left over from Han'an City in New World is undoubtedly huge. Even after Xiaozhi took over the management rights of virtual cities, many of the information needed to be judged by Tang Ning personally to decide whether to transfer it to the crystal storage unit of the Peace 3 server and take it to the next city.

All of this must be done in a virtual city, because only through a full-sensory helmet, the human brain can receive and process information quickly.

The fast, efficient and most intuitive experience of information processing is that time can be fast-forwarded in the virtual world, thereby saving a lot of real-world time.

These are also the two major foundations for building the Datong era - energy freedom and information freedom. The ultimate development of the total sensory nerve connection technology, which brings the third freedom to mankind - freedom of time.

For biological individuals, time represents the length of life. Freedom of time is actually disguised freedom of life.

If such a life process has a very high quality of life and can be popularized by everyone, human history will naturally enter the Datong era.

If it were not interrupted by a catastrophe, such a great contemporary era could basically meet the ultimate expectations of mankind for society.

Even if it is just a virtual product.

...

...

Tang Ning has become very skilled in the matters being carried out now. With the help of Xiaozhi, he is working in an orderly manner.

At 3:50 am, the information being processed in front of me suddenly turned into a panoramic map. Xiaozhi's anxious voice sounded: "Discover the first priority object, coordinates 104.0452373 East longitude, 29.4030028 North latitude."

He was shocked in his heart, and Tang Ning immediately switched out of the virtual world. This was the first time he discovered that there were still humans in this world!

"They are being sieged by mutant beasts, switch to satellite surveillance immediately!"

As soon as the helmet broke away from the ecological cabin, Tang Ning popped up the ecological cabin: "No. 1 emergency plan, Xiaozhi, Tangyuan, action!"

While giving orders, Tang Ning crossed his hands in a cross before his face and jumped towards the glass of the study's large curtain wall.

"Bang!"

Tang Ning's two tortoise shells broke through the glass curtain wall, and his whole body flew out from the 64th floor of Huarong Building with the glass fragments and fell downstairs.

The disc-shaped drone that had been slowly reconnaissing around the building stopped suddenly and then accelerated to shoot towards the target location.

The big dog lying on the fire floor heard Tang Ning's instructions from the server, jumped up and turned his head to run towards the fire emergency passage of the building.

In a blink of an eye, Tang Ning fell down five floors, stretched his feet on a protruding windowsill, slowed down a little, and then jumped downward again.

After seven or eight such short pauses, Tangning had already submerged into the jungle below the building.

Entering the jungle canopy, Tangning flexibly kicked or grabbed. With the help of the horizontal branches of the big tree, he fell down ten meters, breaking countless branches along the way, finally stabbing his body, and then jumped on a big tree and jumped horizontally towards the drone.

Various information flashed quickly in the helmet, and Tangning jumped and ran on the branches several meters above the ground, like a mutant leopard born and raised here, moving quickly and quickly.

Xiaozhi is also constantly giving tips.

"Searched for the first priority target coordination frequency, approaching the floating password change speed, cracking the encrypted channel..."

"The drone has arrived at the scene and is turning on the image..."

"There is a mutant beast attacking thirty degrees on the right side of the front, three, two, one, and a knife!"

Tang Ning flew in the air, suddenly raised his right hand, followed by a glimmer of light flashing from behind his right shoulder, passing by the right side in front, and then quickly flashed back and disappeared behind him.

A black mutant beast on the tree in front of the right side had not had time to pounce on its prey, and was already struck by two flashing sword lights across the neck, accompanied by two bloody rains, falling down to the tree.

Tang Ning jumped to where it was just now, kicked his legs and continued to leap forward.

A video of a drone sending a video on the goggles on the left side of the holographic helmet appeared. A human team drove three military vehicles and quickly cut into the northwest Avenue of the city, then turned along the main road to gallop northward.

Three machine gunners in the car were shooting frantically at the rear. There were many black shadows jumping and chasing on the roads and in the dense forests on both sides.

The personnel on the car threw down a few things. After the military vehicle drove forward for a while, several apertures suddenly burst out from the road that had just passed, sweeping some black shadows that were chasing too close to the ground.

However, many black shadows emerged from behind, crossing the body of their companions and continuing to chase the military vehicles.

The heavy weapons on the military vehicles seemed to have used up their ammunition quickly. The personnel on the vehicles got out of the car and divided into three teams, running towards the three buildings next to the road, trying to seize the favorable terrain.

"The password is broken, switch to the collaborative channel." Xiaozhi's voice sounded in Tangning's ears that were leaping all the way.

Immediately afterwards, the shouts of the human team rang out from Tangning's headphones.

"Defense - lock the door and arrange light and lightning-"

"Who is the night defense system? Block the window!"

"The target is approaching! The target is approaching!"

"The light network defense is completed!"
Chapter completed!
