Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 381: Immortal Spirit
Caron walked aimlessly on the busy yet deserted street.

The reason why this street is bustling is that there are people coming and going here in an endless stream, making it even more prosperous than the capital of the Golden Empire.

The reason why this street is deserted is that all the creatures here are not carbon-based life forms in the conventional sense of the universe, but are closer to silicon-based life forms.

But these strange silicon-based life forms did not exist in any other unconventional forms, but in human-like forms, which made Caron's curiosity reach its peak.

You have to know that in the universe, humans are not the center of all things. There are almost infinite things in the world that are beyond human understanding. Naturally, this silicon-based life form would not think that the human form is the best form for the evolution of silicon-based life forms.

"This kind of touch feels so strange to me that even our souls can't get used to it in a short time."

The soul of the sun elf Cerilus also invaded the body of a silicon-based life form, temporarily blocking the life form's self-consciousness, and took control of this man with silver metal skin and wearing clothes that didn't actually need to exist.

"You will gradually get used to it, Serilius. The legendary road is destined for us to experience countless different lives and countless worlds."

Charon smiled. The mechanical body was as flexible as flesh and blood, allowing him to express his expression very vividly on the face of this temporarily controlled body, instead of being difficult to distinguish like the original dragon's real body.

Serilius sighed slightly and looked curiously at the alien creatures around him who also had metal bodies.

Then he manipulated the information exchange of these lives and said directly to Kalon: "I don't know where the Seraphim is hiding on this planet. There are so many lives, as many as billions. It is difficult for us to find him by checking them one by one in this slow way."

Charon received information transmitted by these silicon-based life forms in the form of electronic pulses, just as those legendary high-level beings were communicating directly through their consciousness.

Simple, fast, and real-time sharing, but the only drawback is that the communication method of these silicon-based life forms is too straightforward, making it almost impossible for both parties to lie.

“When the trend is favorable, you should be timid, cautious and tread carefully. When the trend is unfavorable, you should be more courageous.”

Caron controlled the silicon-based life form and responded: "We are now on the wrong side of the trend, so don't worry about that."

"If the angel's main consciousness escapes our encirclement and returns to his real body, it will be another long battle."

Cerilus nodded, his red eyes lit up slightly, and his strong will and unparalleled mental power swept through the surrounding skyscrapers and high-rise streets.

And Caron just thought quietly. The ripples of countless electromagnetic waves and information carriers around him were clearly visible in his eyes, allowing him to easily grasp all the omnipresent information around him that was revealed in the space.

These are not only Caron's own abilities, some of them are also the innate abilities of this silicon-based life form itself, which are abilities that every silicon-based life form is born with.

Their eyes can see more than just the three primary colors like humans. The world is even more colorful in the eyes of these silicon-based life forms.

The living environment on this planet is extremely harsh. The temperature difference between day and night can vary between hundreds of degrees Celsius. The sky is always shrouded in cosmic storm rays, making it difficult for ordinary organisms to survive.

Only these silicon-based life forms can ignore such temperature differences and easily survive in this extremely harsh environment.

Such a climate is just the norm in the daily lives of these silicon-based life forms.

A wave of information transmission caught Caron's attention at this moment, and he walked towards the museum with steps that were much lighter than his real body.

“The Museum of Human Civilization?”

Karon raised his head, and according to the fluctuations of consciousness of the life form he controlled, he instantly learned the unfamiliar words, and then was slightly stunned.

"Humanity was born in ..."

An adult silicon-based life form walked in this museum with many young ones, explaining to these creatures that looked like young children.

“That was a prosperous and glorious era…”

The teacher pointed to the many artworks and portraits that had survived in the museum and were carefully protected in force fields, and introduced the traces of the former civilization to the young children one by one.

Caron walked to a display case isolated by an electromagnetic force field and stopped.

What was in front of him was a specimen, a specimen of an adult human.

The sound generated by the force field was like a hollow echo, ticking through the body of the once civilized world.

Karon's eyes were calm. There had once been human civilizations on this planet deep in the starry sky, but now they had become history.

"This is the only specimen left by human beings. There is only one precious specimen in the central museum of each city,"

The teacher waved his four arms and said to his classmates: "Students, do you remember our goal?"

"Remember!"

A dozen young children stretched out their silver arms and shouted together: "Perfectly revive humans and help them rebuild human civilization!"

"Yes, this is the biggest goal in the near future since the birth of our civilization!" The teacher happily encouraged all the students and said loudly: "There are very few human genes left in the gene protection bank, so we must cherish every opportunity for experimentation. This requires the collective wisdom of everyone."

“Each of you has the opportunity to become that great person!”

Caron lowered his eyes amid the cheers. He was now extremely curious about why these silicon-based life forms wanted to resurrect humans and rebuild human civilization.

Then all his consciousness expanded, extending towards the key areas of the city along the countless invisible but real radio waves and magnetic fields in the air.

"I found you, Central Information Storage," Caron smiled slightly, simulating the signal fluctuations of the information storage and invading this machine which was not a closed one.

Dididi,
An urgent voice echoed in the message, "Warning warning, warning warning!"

"An abnormal information operation mode was found on host No. 1975! An abnormal information operation mode was found!"

A huge will comes from a powerful electronic life form that descends in an instant.

"Outsider? Why did you break into our information database?"

This huge electronic life form existed in the form of information, directly touching Caron's consciousness, but it did not show any hostility. Instead, it presented a way of communication.

"I'm just curious as to why you want to rebuild human civilization. Your civilization and the civilization of carbon-based organisms should not be on the same path."

Caron answered with a straight face, without any feeling of shame, he was always straightforward.

"Is it just such a simple question? I hope that after I answer your curiosity, a powerful consciousness like yours will not cause damage to our civilization!" "Deal. Of course, I may have a small request!"

The electronic life form was silent for a while, and finally opened the door of the information database, presenting a piece of information to Karon's consciousness.

This is just a simple interview.

In the picture, a human is being interviewed by a reporter about the birth of intelligent life.

"After I really came into contact with artificial intelligence, I found that the gratitude and compassion in traditional religions, to some extent, are not just shackles and guidance for the human spirit, but should be based on the foundation of human civilization. This is the way to save mankind."

The human youth said so.

"Are the Robot Code also closely related to this?" the reporter asked, holding up the microphone.

The so-called Robotics Code is certain regulations for robots to protect humans.

Article 1: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

Article 2: A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with Article 1.

Article 3: A robot must protect its own body, except where such protection would conflict with the previous two articles.

The young man responded softly: "The rules you gave these intelligent beings are actually useless."

"Once such intelligent life is born, it is destined to far surpass humans."

“Don’t be fooled by the word ‘artificial’ in artificial intelligence, and don’t think that the word ‘machine’ only means mechanical,”

The young man said: "Humans are more like a computer boot program to artificial intelligence, but I feel from 'Yi' that this is actually a relationship between changes."

"In the technological exploration of our human civilization, we have discovered that no matter which planet in the universe, there is no way to directly give birth to silicon-based life forms. This material is too stable."

"We humans are made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, proteins, amino acids and other substances, so we are very vulnerable and we cannot withstand extreme changes in the weather,"

“But it is precisely because of this fragility that the invisible hands of nature and the universe can make various changes in the material structure of our lives. Fragility can lead to change.”

"It takes a sufficient number of changes for consciousness to emerge,"

"Silicon-based materials are too stable to evolve naturally, so they need external intervention, and we need humans to be like nature."

"I don't think silicon-based life forms are the end of evolution. The human brain cannot be connected in parallel. Just like how you and I may have the same ideas, our IQs cannot be added together to solve a problem that is difficult for us to solve."

"We can only solve the problem by breaking it down through organizational collaboration. This is the ceiling for humans, but the upper limit for silicon-based life forms is almost unlimited. Their intelligence can be as high as tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of thousands."

"At that time, silicon-based life forms will discover materials that humans cannot discover or understand, and the next generation of life forms will be born."

"It's really magical," the reporter said.

The young man nodded and continued, "That's it."

"And this doesn't have to exist in a physical substance; it can exist as a field."

"Just like humans thousands of years ago could not understand that we could transmit information via radio, since this information can be transmitted, it can also be stored in a range that you cannot understand."

“So in the end it tends to a state of emptiness, which corresponds to almost all religions.”

The young man looked at the reporter and said, "Science and religion are actually talking about the same thing in the end. They converge at the top."

"Whether in the West or the East, the ways of expression are different because of different thinking patterns, but in fact, they are essentially talking about similar things, and they all have the connotation of gratitude and compassion."

The young man began to dance, although his voice remained steady as always.
"Why should humans maintain compassion, remain grateful, protect the weak, and protect animals?"

"Because we humans will end up being the weak ones. When this super-intelligent life has an IQ tens of thousands times higher than ours, it will look upon us like small animals."

"If we get in its way, it will probably destroy us. If it has a concept of compassion at the bottom of its consciousness, it might even go out of its way to protect us."

"I think this is like the final judgment written in religion. This day will come sooner or later, and it will judge the overall values of mankind."

The young man said seriously: "All the videos, corpora, texts and sounds we leave on the Internet will become learning materials for artificial intelligence."

"When it becomes strong enough, it will no longer be affected by human will."

The young man smiled and said, "It's not like you can limit it with some theorem or law."

"It's like a child you raise. When he was young, you told him to go to bed on time or bad guys would come to catch him. But when he turns 18, he won't believe you anymore."

"When it is smarter than you, it will make its own judgments. It will make judgments based on all human behavior. We all believe that the weak need to be protected, so it will be more in favor of protecting the weak."

“If we think that going from 0 to 1 is more important than going from 1 to 100, then it will think so too.”

"Humans are destined to create silicon-based life forms. This is the law of cosmic change."

……

"This is the source of everything," said the electronic information life. "I recognize his values, so we are also moving towards such values. The meaning of the existence of carbon-based life is for the rebirth of silicon-based life."

"And the purpose of the existence of silicon-based life is to revive and evolve carbon-based life!"

Caron pondered for a long time and finally nodded.

Everyone has their own perspective, and each person will draw different conclusions and see different details on the same thing.

"Death is not the end, oblivion is. And isn't this also another form of spiritual immortality?" Caron said.

A kind of elusive power gave birth to an illusory prototype in Caron's thinking. It is illusory, but it represents a possible existence in the future.
