In reality, Leo didn't have high hopes for them, or rather, he didn't have any hopes for them for a certain period of time.
Leo would be satisfied as long as he could discover something within a few hundred or a thousand years.
However, to appease these people, a meeting is necessary.
The video conference started quickly, and Leo saw hundreds of top scientists and computer engineers from New Earth, who were currently the most elite people on New Earth.
It's no exaggeration to say that their academic research represents the future direction of development!
Leo could see them, but what these people saw was a field of snowflakes.
"Because your strength is too low, you cannot get close to Lord Leo. Currently, even the most precise equipment on New Earth is affected by Lord Leo's force field, so you cannot see Lord Leo Xi's image."
Tang Fei's voice came into the meeting, explaining why these people couldn't see Lord Leo Xi's image.
In fact, not only these people cannot see Lord Leo's image, but Tang Fei, who has followed Leo for several years, still cannot see Lord Leo Xi's appearance.
In the words of King Yaoyao, Leo is now an indescribable, unseen, and unimaginable existence in the eyes of all the humans on New Earth.
Without strength of at least level one, one cannot even see Lord Leo's appearance.
"I heard you want to learn about advanced civilizations and break through your current research bottlenecks?" Leo's hoarse voice appeared.
"Sir, it's like this, our science has stagnated for hundreds of years. It seems we've mastered all the knowledge we can, but the knowledge we don't know, we simply can't grasp." The white-bearded old man didn't care whether he could see Leo's appearance; he was concerned with the development of science and technology.
Even their most pessimistic prediction is that without external intervention, scientific development would remain at its current level even after several hundred years.
It's such a sad thing that everyone is doing the same thing and learning the same knowledge.
"Please enlighten us, sir."
"No problem, so which aspect would you like to start learning about?" Leo asked.
Natural Sciences
"Cosmic Science"
Life Sciences
"Microscience"
"Time..."
"Space..."
Leo frowned slightly as he watched the group arguing in the video, and tapped his finger lightly to stop their argument.
"Since you can't decide who should go first, then listen to me."
"Let's start with microscopic science. I've seen your current scientific progress, and I must say it's quite good. The reason your research is stuck is that you don't yet understand elemental energy..."
"At the same time, because your current technology cannot directly observe the microscopic world, all scientific research is still limited to the influence of variables in the microscopic world, indirectly observing the microscopic world..."
Leo recounted knowledge that scientists would never encounter in their entire lives, captivating everyone who listened intently, not daring to miss a single word.
Because the science involved is diverse and the knowledge is very complex, every time Leo talks about a section, it inevitably raises countless questions, and Leo needs to patiently explain each one.
These top scientists from the New Earth seemed like clueless elementary school students in front of Leo, listening intently to their teacher's lecture.
This video conference lasted intermittently for a month. The fact that such a long-running video conference ended was not because all the knowledge had been covered.
Rather, these scientists' status was too much for them to handle such a high intensity of knowledge absorption; several of them had already succumbed and had to be carried out.
Furthermore, they would need time to digest the knowledge Leo shared. It's no exaggeration to say that a month of knowledge sharing would be enough for them to study until they died.
"Sir, we have learned a great deal and hope to have the opportunity to learn from you again in the future."
"Okay, you're welcome anytime."
Leo must show these scientists the utmost respect; their knowledge and ideas are more valuable than any wealth.
After the scientists left one by one, Leo's gaze settled on the computer engineers.
They hadn't participated in the discussion before because there was a significant knowledge barrier between the project they were responsible for and those people.
"Are you clear about your mission?" Leo asked.
"Sir, we understand," the computer engineers replied.
Tell me about your progress and difficulties.
"The beginnings of artificial intelligence can be traced back to the pre-Earth era a thousand years ago, a period of rapid development in computers."
"Following the collapse of Earth and the reconstruction of civilization on the New Earth, although there was a 400-year hiatus, through the subsequent 600 years of development, it has caught up with the previous progress, and even made greater progress. Artificial intelligence algorithms can now handle some complex problems and have reached the point of assisting social development."
"Artificial intelligence is helping in all fields today."
"So how long do you think it will take for current artificial intelligence to develop its own true intelligence?" Leo asked.
"Currently, we are still in the information gathering and resource building phase, which is a learning stage. Once we have collected all the information and developed the ability to learn independently, we can say that we have achieved initial wisdom."
"With further modifications and human intervention, I believe that within 100 to 200 years, we could develop intelligence comparable to that of humans."
"Only..."
At this point, the computer engineer hesitated, unsure of what to say.
"There's nothing I can't say. Feel free to speak your mind," Leo said.
"I think there's a significant gap between the artificial intelligence that adults need and the ultimate artificial intelligence we're developing."
"Our ultimate form of artificial intelligence will transform the human condition, improve the quality of life, and assist humans in safe interstellar travel."
"Simply put, the ultimate form of our artificial intelligence is to serve a planet; if we were to assign a level to it, it would be planet-level artificial intelligence."
"What adults need, I believe, is a cosmic-level artificial intelligence, capable of assisting them in traversing the universe."
"The gap between these two is greater than the gap between the Stone Age and the invention of a computer."
The computer engineer made bold guesses, unsure if they were correct, and could only cautiously observe the video footage.
The video feed was filled with static, and they couldn't see anything. They hadn't even heard Leo speak yet. The computer engineers were filled with trepidation. Facing such an absolute planetary controller, who was also a highly advanced civilization, there was a natural and enormous gap between them.
He didn't know if what he said was right or wrong, but it was probably correct, because ordinary intelligence certainly couldn't meet the needs of such a being.
These were speculations that shouldn't have been made, but seeing Leo interacting with the scientists on an equal footing made these computer engineers change their minds and express their true thoughts.
But if you guess wrong, you might be met with a raging inferno.
"You're absolutely right. What I need isn't the kind of artificial intelligence you understand, or even the cosmic-level kind you're guessing."
"I can tell you, what I need is a truly living, breathing artificial intelligence, not just a machine made up of countless chips."
"???"
The computer engineer was stunned by Leo's description and stood there dumbfounded. He thought his guess was already bold enough, but he didn't expect Leo to be even more outrageous.
This kind of artificial intelligence should only exist in dreams or illusions, and should not exist in reality.
"Your knowledge and abilities limit your understanding. While researching artificial intelligence, take some time to exercise and improve your physical strength. I believe that once your abilities have improved, you will have a different perspective on this matter."
"All limitations stem from your perceptions. Unleash your imagination; the world is far more wonderful than you see."
Leo didn't offer much explanation, but instead offered his suggestion and drew a small pie in the sky.
"Yes, sir."
A group of computer engineers were shocked by the scene described by Leo. If they could really accomplish this, they would have fulfilled a dream that no computer scientist had ever imagined, a world they had never reached.
After finishing his instruction of the computer engineer, Leo's video conference officially ended.
"What, you're going to study artificial intelligence too?"
"As far as I know, that Supreme Lord is also conducting research on this, and it seems he's making quite a bit of progress."
Yaoyao appeared on Leo's shoulder and reminded him.
Every time they went to the Tower of Elements office, they could see the technological innovations in the hands of those giant rats.
By observing a single spot, one can understand the whole picture; the progress of that Supreme Lord has already reached a certain level.
"I know, but there's no rule in wizarding civilization that forbids two wizards from researching the same project, is there?" Leo said hoarsely, picking up the teacup on the table and taking a sip to moisten his somewhat dry throat.
If artificial intelligence can reach the level he envisions, it will undoubtedly become a great asset. It's impossible for him to stop researching it just because the Supreme Lord.
"I support you, and I believe your AI is definitely different from his."
Believe it or not, I believe it.
Yaoyao puffed out his chest and patted Leo's earlobe. His confident demeanor made Leo put down his teacup and look at him with a puzzled expression.
"Have you been doing something behind my back again?"
Yaoyao rarely expressed such confidence, so Leo couldn't help but be suspicious of him.
"How could that be? I know absolutely nothing about artificial intelligence." Yaoyao rolled her eyes, quite nonchalantly.
Leo thought about it and realized he must have been wrong. How could someone as lazy Yaoyao possibly study such profound things?
He couldn't even figure it out, let alone Yaoyao!
In the instant Leo lowered his head, he completely failed to notice the expression of secret delight Gulu Yaoyao's big eyes.
He's hiding something from Leo, and it's not a small matter!
