"This..."
After hearing the explanation given by Halsey, William couldn't help but sigh, "Are the ancients the same as those experimental pigeons?
Or...
Is it more like the ancients received gifts from higher civilizations and thus worshiped those 'gods'?"
"Maybe." Halsey shrugged indifferently.
She continued, "Snagin selected the one that worked the hardest among the eight pigeons for individual observation.
And when the interval between feeding food was extended to one minute, something interesting happened.
This hard-working pigeon actually created a specific dance to worship the 'god' created by Skinner.
Since it can create, Snajin wanted to try destruction to see how long it would take for the dove to give up worshiping.
So Snarkin stopped feeding the hard-working pigeon no matter how hard it worked.
In the end, the hard-working pigeon insisted on repeating the dance more than 10,000 times before giving up the meaningless move.
'Superstition' is broken.
It has given up reverence for that god."
"Well..."
William raised his hand and rubbed his chin, speculating, "It feels like the ancients always maintained respect for gods.
However, until modern times, people gradually believed that God was just a fictional creation."
"Haha~" Halsey said with a slight smile at this time
"Of course, Shnagin's experiment was just to prove that human behavior can be controlled.
Compared to gods, I agree more with the advanced civilization you just said, boss.
It may be a civilization that develops rapidly on the earth itself, or it may be a civilization from other planets.
After all, according to current technology, the universe has existed for 14 billion years, and Solar System is only a "little young" of 4.6 billion years.
The universe is vast and infinite.
Therefore, human beings cannot foolishly think that they are the only existence.
Moreover, I also feel that NASA's Pioneer and Voyager programs will bring catastrophe to mankind sooner or later."
Speaking of this, Halsey showed a slightly annoyed face and said
"Enter the Earth's Coordinates, human DNA and other important information into their so-called golden record.
What is this for?
Tell other civilizations that we humans are here to welcome you?
Bang!"
"..." William didn't say anything.
For example, Original World's "Three-Body Problem" makes the Dark Forest law public.
Even Hawking has repeatedly reminded humans not to take the initiative to expose the existence of the earth.
Although it cannot be ruled out that all civilizations are hostile, according to the modern history of human development, contact between higher civilizations and lower civilizations is often a devastating disaster.
Suppose there really is a god in the Ancient Humans era.
That's probably because Ancient Humans is like an ant, posing no threat to them at all, and will also give Ancient Humans various gifts.
Feed the dogs and cats.
Get a pet.
Nowadays, human beings have nuclear power, and they are like ignorant kids with a gun that can kill people.
"Shua--"
As the automatic door opened and closed, Halsey brought William to her living room.
William Vision circled around and nodded involuntarily.
Well...
Still the same.
There were piles of documents everywhere, clothes and miscellaneous items were thrown around, and there was an empty lunch box on the sofa.
"Hmph... ahem!"
William suppressed his laughter, cleared his throat to cover up his embarrassment, looked at Halsey who was still walking towards the cubicle and asked
"Catherine, I asked you to help me open the coffin to study the demigods. Why did you bring me here first?"
"Of course I need a helper to assist me in my analysis."
Halsey said, then turned around and walked into the office area of the cubicle, disappearing from William's sight.
"Help?" William was stunned.
Does she still need help?
With a doubtful attitude, William also approached her office on the back foot.
It is similar to the room with simple bed in the Hive.
But except for them inside and outside the house, there was no one else here.
Where are the helpers?
"Papa~"
Halsey didn't pretend to be mysterious. He clapped his hands gently and said softly, "Cortana, come out."
Cortana?
William was frightened again.
"Yes, doctor."
While he was still surprised, a female voice with a voice similar to Halsey came from the computer desk.
Hear the reputation and go.
I saw a silver chip next to the keyboard, and the chip had some kind of information three-dimensional display like Advanced Technology. The image generated was...
A girl with a graceful figure, blue electronic skin, and short hair that doesn't reach her shoulders.
Like a younger version of Halsey.
"This!"
William looked at the palm-sized Cortana, which completely refreshed his creative ability towards Halsey.
Catherine·Elizabeth·Halsey detected this world and created Cortana without relying on the hints of this system.
Therefore, the hidden rewards that trigger this system are being redeemed...
Congratulations to the host for winning a lottery for a physical fitness enhancement item. Would you like to use it?
Hidden rewards?
tf?!
Halsey is simply his lucky star.
First, Umbrella's biotechnology was rapidly improved, and then the Universe Fleet project was put on the agenda, and now Artificial Intelligence has been launched.
It even triggers system rewards.
At this time, William opened his mouth slightly indecently and looked at Halsey with a shocked expression on his face.
He really didn't know what to say...
"What's wrong? Are you stupid?"
"Ah? Well, no, no."
William was brought back to reality by Halsey's question, and first said quietly to the system
'No need for the time being.'
Then he looked at Cortana on the table, then looked at Halsey and asked, "How... how did you create Artificial Intelligence?"
"This." Halsey walked to the table, reached out and picked up Cortana and said
"I first cloned myself, then took out my brain for scanning, obtained the complete Catalepsean Node structure and converted it into a digital frame.
In fact, she (looks at Cortana)...
It's another me in a way."
Halsey This woman is so cruel that she can even kill herself.
Thinking of this, the hairs all over William's body stood up, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
It's so scary!
Halsey No matter what William thought of her, he looked at Cortana who remained quiet and continued.
"Her main task is to use the network to break into Firewall in various countries around the world and completely control the media when the five frigates are launched.
Wherever an abnormal event occurs, she can immediately block information and coordinate with troops to contain it, etc.
He is a capable AI."
Indeed.
William completely believes what Halsey said.
Cortana in the game was implanted with human knowledge from the moment she was created, and it only took her two hours to analyze and understand all the knowledge.
So the Firewall of existing countries are definitely more fragile than paper in front of Cortana.
At this time, William looked at Halsey and said softly, "With Cortana's help, we can open Achilles's coffin."
Halsey tilted his head and smiled, "Of course."
