Chapter 218 Creation of the Information World

Lin Bo uses the resonance of words to probe his perception into the electronic universe, essentially becoming a high-dimensional ghost capable of spying on and interfering with things here. However, he himself does not have a physical data body in the information world.

To facilitate interaction with network data entities, Lin Bo created a data body for himself, a pure white humanoid silhouette. This avatar exists in the computer as an application, residing in a folder named Lighthouse.

Lin Bo uses information technology to write programs, enriching the functions of the Internet, just as the Creator created plants, animals and other living beings, to create an ecosystem for the electronic world.

He learned as he practiced.

Data life is actually just a bunch of code machines, just like mechanical equipment in the real world. The structure determines their function. Data modules can be assembled like building blocks, and as long as they conform to the operating logic, the program can run.

This simple data system does not possess the ability to learn autonomously or improve itself.

Lin Bo has not yet tried to create artificial intelligence, but he has disassembled the White Web Spider to understand its internal structure and also discovered the common true name of artificial intelligence through the characteristics of the indictment.

The most crucial structure is the simulated neural network. Massive amounts of data and neurons give artificial intelligence sufficient complexity to support basic thinking abilities.

Creating data neurons is not difficult. You can take a handful of seawater from the ocean of data, divide and shape it using the art of life, and easily create thousands or tens of thousands of neurons. However, weaving these threads into a network is a very laborious task.

The structure of a neural network directly determines the nature of artificial intelligence, whether it excels at complex calculations, generating images and audio, or even simulating human emotions.

Lin Bo is not yet capable of directly creating highly complex structures; the combination and stacking of tens of thousands of electronic neurons is an enormous challenge to his mental capacity.

With the current effect of Lv2 Life Control Technique, Lin Bo needs to mold each part one by one and then assemble them little by little every time he creates a complex mecha. Even with practice, the speed is not fast.

Lin Bo is the only programmer in the world, but he has limited time and energy, so he needs to create artificial intelligence to share the workload.

He created some basic neuronal data structures in the lighthouse, equivalent to single-celled organisms.

By placing these single-celled intelligent agents into a specific database, allowing them to capture data for neural training, and then merging them together, there is a high probability that advanced artificial intelligence will emerge.

It sounds like biological evolution in nature, but artificial intelligence exists in a more special form. Instead of "preying" on each other, they "merge" and "share," and reproduce by copying and pasting.

Lin Bo plans to create the ultimate artificial intelligence to coordinate real-world information, capable of analyzing human behavior and psychology, collecting economic data, scheduling and allocating production resources, predicting weather and climate changes, and deducing the long-term social impact of policies...

This type of ultimate artificial intelligence can serve as an information source, helping him practice some related divination skills.

The "Fire Divination Ritual" has already used up the knowledge fragments for comprehension; it's time to find more skill books related to mysteries (truth) to learn.

Most false prophecies are bizarre and strange. The "Fire Divination Ritual" may seem crazy, but it is actually quite normal. Many false prophecies require the use of hallucinogenic drugs to improve proficiency, which is really unacceptable.

Using artificial intelligence for information deduction is a category of true prophecy, and it is highly efficient for players in cross-platform games with backgrounds of micro-magic and non-magic.

Iron Guard stood behind Lin Bo, watching the Night Watchman slowly sculpt the intelligent data entity. Its shape was that of a pure white baboon. Everything in this world was only black and white; white represented existence, and all data entities were this color, while black represented an empty set, a state of incompleteness. If it appeared on a large scale, it would be a danger signal.

When electronic life forms are infected by black, it means data loss, structural damage, and eventually complete engulfment and disappearance—that is "death."

There are many reasons that can cause data to die, such as program errors (diseases), system vulnerabilities (accidents), electronic viruses (murder), or a sudden power outage.

In the information world, turning off the power and then back on is like restarting the cosmic timeline; everything may seem unchanged, but it could potentially lead to some unfortunate consequences. Lin Bo's power grid is safe and stable enough that this situation is highly unlikely.

A stable electronic universe allows the data life created by the mage enough time to evolve.

Dozens of data lifeforms have been piled up on Lin Bo's table. They vary in size and shape, some are agile, while others are stiff, showing the difference in their intelligence levels.

The first intelligent life forms created were small in size, shaped like a crab, with pincers for grasping data and eight legs for flexible movement.

The later ones became increasingly larger. Lin Bo did not overcomplicate the neural network, but instead gave them different basic functions: compound-eyed dragonflies for analyzing image information, cloud ants for performing model calculations, prism crows for simulating human psychology, and so on.

They can grow gradually by simply feeding them enough data.

But Lin Bo was still not satisfied with this.

These specialized intelligent life forms are endowed with complete structural functions from the moment of their creation, just like newborn children who are already qualified journalists, scientists, and psychologists. They lack the possibility of mutation and cannot make adaptive adjustments according to changes in the environment.

So he turned his attention back to the little crab from the beginning. It had the simplest structure and only ninety neurons. Its function was to perform logical analysis and classification of the captured data.

Lin Bo pondered for a moment, then gradually removed neurons and restructured the remaining parts.

The number of neurons dropped from ninety to seventy, then to fifty. The little crab lost its ability to analyze and classify logically, and its appearance shrank and changed further.

In the end, Lin Bo was left with only a small white silkworm.

Six neurons constitute its simple and basic behavioral pattern: collecting and analyzing data, creating neurons, and copying and pasting—that is, eating, growing, and reproducing. Beyond this, it has no other innate functions or missions.

Lin Bo caught all the intelligent life forms in his hands, got up and walked out of the lighthouse, came to the towering tree in the center of the island, placed the white silkworm on the trunk, and watched the little guy climb up the branches and gnaw on the square canopy. After eating a few bites, it suddenly stopped moving, its body slowly split into two parts, and then continued to lower its head to eat.

Lin Bo nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he pointed to the ground, and towering walls rose up, forming folders. He then categorized and placed various types of intelligent life forms into different folders.

Next, we need to build habitats suitable for the growth of different intelligent life forms.
