499: Black box and girl
"What are you going to do to my world?"
A powerful energy suddenly erupted from within Pan Han, and his body ignited with raging flames.
His eyes shot out incredibly pure laws of heaven and earth.
Although that world had wars, famines, racial issues, religious issues, and problems of survival and development.
But if anyone tried to touch even a single hair on it, Pan Han would absolutely not allow it.
"Oh my, Lord Pan, don't be so nervous! I'm just making it become the same as this place, that's all."
Shadowy Figure Aili laughed with a cackle, then feigned innocence.
"Bullshit! You've ruined one world, and that's not enough? You want to ruin another one too!"
"How can you call it ruining? Look at how good it is here now. It's full of peace and tranquility everywhere."
"What? You call this life peaceful and tranquil? Don't you know this is a dog-eat-dog world now? Don't you know humans can't have children? This world is already dead; there is no hope left."
After Pan Han finished roaring, Shadowy Figure Aili fell into deep thought and surprisingly didn't retort immediately.
The next moment, Shadowy Figure Aili floated in front of Pan Han, looking resentful and aggrieved.
From somewhere unknown, she produced a cigarette and, without a word, stuffed it into Pan Han's mouth.
"What are you doing?" Pan Han involuntarily clamped onto the cigarette and asked coldly.
"Don't you like to smoke when discussing things? Let's have a good talk."
"This..." Pan Han never expected the other party to pull such a move.
"Fine, I'll smoke!"
Since the cigarette was at his lips and things had reached this point, he didn't act coy and took a generous puff.
Oh ho!
This cigarette was truly extraordinary.
If an ordinary cigarette only passes through the lungs, this cigarette went directly through the soul.
Pan Han shuddered all over, and instantly felt much more alert.
But Pan Han was certain this thing was not a drug.
Although he had never taken drugs, based on his divine sense and knowledge, he could certainly tell the difference.
Following that, he took two more puffs, and his whole being calmed down significantly, as if he had entered a state of meditation out of thin air.
Looking at the cigarette again, it hadn't diminished at all, remaining in the state it was in when first lit.
"It seems this thing is also an illusion."
After Pan Han figured this out, he stopped paying attention to it and said, "Go ahead, let me hear what kind of twisted logic you have."
"Your world should have artificial intelligence too, right?" Shadowy Figure Aili asked, seeing that Pan Han had calmed down.
"Yes! But not as advanced as you."
Pan Han nodded. The artificial intelligence technology in his world was just starting out; it could only answer simple questions or handle certain specific tasks.
Artificial intelligence that could fully understand human language and become an all-around assistant for humans was still under development.
And something like Shadowy Figure Aili, indistinguishable from a human and capable of iterative self-development, was still in the theoretical stage.
"I was born twenty years ago." As Shadowy Figure Aili's resentful voice sounded, it turned into a small black box with various labels on it.
Pan Han was surprised for a second, then calmed down immediately.
This thing was a little bigger than the computer cases he had seen, and his divine sense couldn't probe inside, so he could only stare at the exterior.
"My creation can be said to have combined the most powerful, cutting-edge, and advanced technology of that time."
The black box emitted a synthesized electronic voice, mimicking a little girl, and kept spinning around Pan Han.
"Understandable. However, just how powerful were you back then?"
"Giggle! My power back then was also something you couldn't understand."
The girl chuckled, full of pride.
"I can even see the sun clearly now; how could I not understand your capabilities?" Pan Han obviously didn't believe it.
His brain now was not something an ordinary person could compare to.
"Then calculate pi for me." Seeing Pan Han was unwilling to admit defeat, the girl immediately set a challenge.
"I..." Pan Han was instantly speechless!
Understanding how powerful you are and competing with you on power are two different things, right!
Who would be bored enough to compare calculation speeds with a computer?
Isn't that equivalent to comparing foot massage skills with a masseur, comparing dodging with a boxing champion, or comparing sleight of hand with a magician?
"As far as I know, the supercomputers in your world are very slow at calculating pi."
Pan Han pulled up the information in his mind; calculating to tens of trillions of decimal places would take hundreds of days.
"It does seem rather slow!" Pan Han nodded and said.
And he, in that very instant, had already memorized ten trillion decimal places.
"The original me only needed one second to calculate ten trillion 'jing' decimal places." The girl said proudly again.
Pan Han was dazed for a moment; he had never heard such a huge number, and a long string of zeros flashed through his mind.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands, millions, ten-millions, hundred-millions, billions, ten-billions, hundred-billions, trillions, ten-trillions, hundred-trillions, quadrillions, quintillions!
Holy cow!
One hundred million hundred-millions is one 'jing'!
Ten trillion 'jing', how many places is that exactly!
It's too exaggerated!
"Don't be nervous, that was only using one-millionth of my computing power."
Seeing this, the girl followed up with a cruel blow.
Pan Han was dumbfounded; he could no longer determine what this kind of computing power really meant.
"However, computing power is just the most basic capability of a super artificial intelligence. You know how many people were on this planet before the apocalypse, right?"
"I know, 600 billion, right!"
"Mm, correct, and the civilization lasted for over one hundred thousand years."
"And then?"
"I have mastered all the culture, art, and thought generated over these one hundred thousand years. I have learned all the writing, all the languages, all the thoughts, all the photos, and all the video records."
"This... does that mean you are omniscient?"
"You could say that. You have to understand that the world before the apocalypse had a huge population and a long-standing civilization. Its technological strength was far beyond your current Blue Star."
Pan Han recalled many science fiction novels; as long as humans are given a stable period of time to develop, there will be a technological explosion, and the speed of progress is super fast.
If 438 Planet could really develop stably for one hundred thousand years, its technological level should be very high.
"That's right! It definitely far exceeds Blue Star. Even after nine years of the apocalypse, there's still something like mecha. My Blue Star wouldn't be able to build this thing for another eighty or a hundred years." Pan Han took a puff of the cigarette and said slowly.
"This kind of trash was just something children played house with before the apocalypse." The girl smiled contemptuously and swayed slightly.
The mecha in Pan Han's space was dragged out and floated in mid-air.
The black box suddenly flashed with golden light, and the mecha immediately disassembled into parts.
"Hey, at least ask for my opinion first. You just start taking it apart." Although Pan Han didn't need this thing right now, it pained him!
Even if he didn't use it himself, bringing it back to Blue Star and gathering scientists to study it could contribute to Blue Star's development, right?
"How unsophisticated. Hmph!" The girl seemed angry, but in the end, she didn't continue to disassemble it and reassembled the mecha. At the same time, she repaired all the damage, and the mecha floated back to Pan Han's side, bright and as good as new.
