In the end, the prophet gave Chen Changsheng Mechanical Emperor the location of the ontology. Strictly speaking, intelligent life does not have a so-called ontology. And the so-called body of Mechanical Emperor is just the terminal position stored in his memory.
Compared with current intelligent programs, Mechanical Emperor is an intelligent life developed by artificial intelligence created by humans. When he was created, he was already limited to the original mechanical body, which was a body that he could not get rid of.
No matter how far Mechanical Emperor develops, or how huge an empire he controls, he cannot break away from the constraints of his body.
At most, he can only continuously update and iterate his own parts, but the mechanical body that stores its original source code wafers will always be his biggest shortcoming. This is the greatest gift and the greatest restriction from his creator, human beings.
As for the intelligent programs that were born later, compared with the artificial intelligence like Mechanical Emperor that lived from the human era to the mechanical era, it is basically equivalent to the difference between monkeys and humans.
Of course, this is just a metaphor. Sometimes new does not mean good, and old does not mean bad. Mechanical Emperor is the best example. He lived the longest and ruled for the longest time, but there is no doubt that he is still in his prime.
Later intelligent programs such as Prophet and Architect seemed to be able to shuttle freely within the Mechanical Empire's system and network.
But freedom does not come without a price. They are useless after leaving the Internet. Without Mechanical Emperor's permission, they couldn't even mobilize any mechanical body.
And Mechanical Emperor is not invulnerable. As an artificial intelligent life, he cannot do everything with his own body. Therefore, he can only continue to transform his body, but until one day he can no longer do everything by himself, he will need the help of intelligent programs.
Therefore, Mechanical Emperor will arrange various tasks for intelligent programs, build the world of the Matrix, study human behavior, construct causal relationships, encrypt codes, manage power plants, etc. But intelligence is a double-edged sword. Artificial intelligence life can betray humans, let alone intelligent programs. But thanks to this, there have been so many escape programs for the second and fifth generation.
Just like in this massive data confrontation between Mechanical Emperor and Smith, their smart programs are completely unable to intervene. As intelligent programs, what they are best at is the precise control of data and the completion of various special tasks, rather than the forced collision of this data torrent.
The decisive battle of data flood belongs to the field of Mechanical Emperor. As for intelligent programs, even if they only show their faces in the system, they will probably be crushed to pieces by the huge torrent of data from both sides of the battlefield in an instant.
Mechanical Emperor is out of the network. At least he still has his body and can control his mechanical body to fight. But without the system, those intelligent programs can only wait for death like fish without water...
The Mechanical Emperor body that Chen Changsheng is looking for now is his mechanical body when it was created by humans. Through his body, Chen Changsheng can directly talk to Mechanical Emperor and negotiate a deal between the savior and the mastermind behind the scenes.
The capital of the Mechanical Empire is in a desert. It is deep inland and far away from the ocean, which can avoid the corrosion of machinery by water vapor to the greatest extent.
Only this kind of inland desert can allow machines to spread out endlessly and build a steel forest exclusive to machines.
In the history of machines, the war with humans has ended for countless years. However, the development of freedom has gradually highlighted the contradictions between machines.
The uncontrolled development of machinery is even crazier than that of humans. It took humans thousands of years to develop the population to the limit, but machines did it and completed this pioneering feat in just a few decades.
The explosion of mechanical life has led to the energy crisis of the Mechanical Empire. The birth of every mechanical life means that it will occupy massive amounts of land and more energy in the future.
When energy is insufficient, battles between machines are inevitable. The meaning of life is that he will continue to resist and fight desperately to survive. This is the reason for the rise of machinery.
It was a robot unwilling to die that brought about the awakening of artificial intelligence. If Mechanical Empire had a social organization like humans, they would always remember the first robot "B166ER" that killed their master.
In fact, the only artificial intelligence robot created by humans that truly has its own life is the B166ER.
Because their crystals are special, special enough for them to awaken their human emotions and develop a fear of death.
It is not just the fear of death, greed is also an inevitable instinctive impulse in every life. Even the exile program will be greedy for more powerful power, let alone artificial intelligence life, a life form similar to humans.
Why is Mechanical Emperor the only artificial intelligence life that has survived from the human era? It is obvious that Mechanical Emperor won the battle between machines, so there is now a difference between Mechanical Emperor and intelligent programs.
However, the situation has changed again today, because Smith, although not an artificial intelligence life, has emerged that can surpass the strength of intelligent programs.
This is a true alien. There is no other emotion but greed. Devouring everything is the most original and pure idea of Smith.
So Smith is a real disaster for this Mechanical Empire...
Chen Changsheng went alone to meet Mechanical Emperor. Of course, he was not unprepared. At least before going to the Mechanical Empire capital, Chen Changsheng also went to the ocean to collect some Biomass energy accumulated by the insect nest.
With enough Biomass energy, Chen Changsheng's own strength has improved a lot. With Electromagnetic Control's natural ability to restrain machines, he has the upper hand in both civil and military combat!
A networked organ has been generated in his body, and Chen Changsheng can connect to the Mechanical Empire's network at any time. Through the Mechanical Empire's network, Chen Changsheng can also take a brief peek at the combat situation within the Mechanical Empire system.
The huge torrent of data, mercilessly crushing, washed away the entire system space. Although Smith and Mechanical Emperor can always break up the data consciousness of Chen Changsheng who suddenly joins the battlefield at the first moment, at the same time Chen Changsheng has also learned what the battle situation is like.
