Chapter 37 Three Logical Fragments [Important Concepts]
【Letter 1】
This is a video of a speech.
The first frame of the video is a magnificent and spectacular picture.
In the sky, shuttle-shaped spaceships were suspended high in the sky, with the flags of the nine star clusters hanging below the spaceships. Following the tradition of the mother star, the spaceships avoided the sun's trajectory in the sky.
The ground was covered with flowers and crowds of people. People of different skin colors gathered together. There were countless people, and they were all looking at the old man on the podium who was also indistinguishable about his gender and skin color.
Behind the podium, there are several connected potholes under the blue sea.
It was the end of the Earth Era before humans set foot on the stars. A famous battle broke out here. Several tactical nuclear bombs destroyed the Earth's strongest maritime fleet at the time, which directly led to the disappearance of a large number of humans at the end of the Earth Era.
"Today, we stand here again, looking directly at the scars carved by human beings on the mother planet!"
The old man on the podium spoke impassionedly:
"When our ancestors picked up wooden spears on the African grasslands!
"When our ancestors carved Mars out of stone in dark caves!
"When our ancestors raised fire on the banks of the four rivers!
"War never ends!
"War has always been with our civilization. It is like a dark cloud, entangled in the sky of civilization and unable to disperse for a long time. To this day, we sadly find that even if human beings leave their home planet and travel across the Orion Arm, In every corner of the country, we are still shrouded in the shadow of war!
"The differentiation of space regions has brought about an imbalance in communication and understanding. People of different skin colors are gathering together again in the vast space of the universe. Yes, we have rekindled the flames of discrimination.
“There have been differences in the development of the nine star clusters!
"Their ancestors set out from their home planet with the same technology, the same reserves, and the same ideals, and planted the seeds of human civilization in different galaxies, but they gave birth to similar but different civilizations.
"War, war, endless war, our pace of external exploration has slackened a little. As soon as the bottleneck period of science and technology appears, the dark cloud of war hangs over mankind.
"We have paid too many painful prices for the war, and human civilization was on the verge of collapse due to the war at the end of the Earth Era. Gentlemen, ladies, and children, this is a lesson we cannot forget.
"Yes, we did not encounter the terrible dark jungle law;
"Yes, we did not encounter the creepy civilization restart rules;
"Yes, we have discovered life forms other than carbon-based life forms on some planets, but fortunately we have not encountered powerful enemies other than humans themselves.
“But now, right now, human civilization once again has weapons that can destroy entire civilizations and even destroy entire star systems, and these weapons are controlled by all parties, in order to compete for interests, to compete for resources, and for their respective politicians to treat their own people. Promises in exchange for shouts of support may aim at each other and destroy each other at any time
“We should not wait any longer, we cannot watch the situation continue to deteriorate in an unpredictable direction.
"The mother star has never belonged to any force in the nine star clusters. The land under our feet is the birthplace of this brilliant interstellar civilization!
"The mother star is already surrounded by the star field occupied by nine star clusters. We have no external threats from other species and civilizations.
"The mother planet is still the heart of human civilization, and this heart should be protected by the limbs and torso.
"There is a civilization that has lasted for eight thousand years, and a history that every human being born in the distant starry sky misses and cares about.
"When they go too far in the starry sky and the flame of civilization is in danger, they can come back here and renew the flame.
"Compatriots, the abandonment of military defense by the mother planet is not the surrender of the humans of the mother star to the interstellar humans. We are a family, we are a race, a species, we have the same culture, and we all have common roots! < br>
“I declare here in my capacity as Speaker of the Joint Parliament.
"Today, we give up offensive starships, no longer develop military technology, and retain sufficient defense capabilities to deal with any accidents.
"Let the weapons of destruction leave the solar system!
"The mother star will be the arbitration tribunal of the nine star clusters. It will be an absolutely neutral existence. We will achieve economic prosperity and cultural prosperity.
"This is the bond of civilization after all!"

This is a lecture record of an old history professor, from which a short excerpt was taken.
An old professor with a gentle face and messy hair said with a smile on the podium:
“What we are going to talk about in this class today is the famous artificial intelligence crisis.
"About Interstellar Era 1302, more than three hundred years ago, the AI crisis broke out.
"What does it say in everyone's textbooks? Joe, please read the summary."
A student in the front row stood up, held the textbook and began to recite:
"After the development of the interstellar voyage, artificial intelligence already has a complete system chain. When humans discovered that artificial intelligence can survive completely even if it does not depend on humans, and some artificial intelligence has produced systems that simulate human emotions, humans realized that The crisis of civilizational dominance
"Although artificial intelligence itself has been marked with numerous 'patches', even with the limitations of these patches, AI that has autonomously 'replicated' has begun to explore its relationship with humans, and under the leadership of extreme AI groups, it has Humanity has launched a cross-dimensional war between virtual and reality.
"The result of the war is the overall decline of human civilization. Human civilization, which was once prosperous for a while, once returned to the technological level of thousands of years ago. Humanity has handed over many major projects and technologies to AI for processing, which is a major reason for brewing this bitter pill.
"In this text, we will learn about the riot history of artificial intelligence. Human beings should always believe in themselves."
"Very good," the old professor raised his hand and motioned for Qiao to sit down, and smiled at the crowd of students below.
He said: "This text was compiled by me twenty years ago. If you have previewed the content of this lesson, you should have discovered a problem.
"The text does not contain any description of artificial intelligence warfare. It just talks about how we should cherish human resources, establish human-centered thinking, and value human value.
"Of course, there are also some gorgeous-looking pictures."
Rare laughter came from the students below.
The old professor's expression became more serious:
"Everyone will become the recorder and witness of human history in the future. Although some history does not sound gorgeous, it should not be buried. Do you want to know the truth of this history?"
"Think!"
"Very good, then I'll just chat with you."
The old gentleman adjusted his reading glasses and said with a smile:
"We have already talked about it in the first class of school. Under the cover of the nuclear cloud, the remaining human beings have differentiated on their routes. Some humans insist on transforming the environment of their home planet, while some humans try their best to use immature resources. Leap technology and move boldly towards the stars
"Yes, it is these ancestors who dared to sacrifice that opened a new page for our human civilization.
"Looking back at the short interstellar history, we are now in interstellar year 1634. In fact, this period of history is still very short... Compared to the scope of space that we humans now set foot on, this time is indeed very short.
"But over the past 1,600 years, we have created a splendid civilization, and artificial intelligence has contributed a lot. It can even be said that artificial intelligence became a catalyst for the early stages of interstellar civilization, just like cloning technology.
"As everyone knows, the development of cloning technology was prohibited to prevent the cost of war from being reduced.
"But artificial intelligence has been eliminated by humans purely because... humans have self-corrected their own civilization."
Most of the students looked puzzled.
The old professor spoke unhurriedly:
"The widespread use of AI and the black-box control technology used by humans to control AI have made AI the cheapest labor force. Ordinary humans have been almost kept captive by elite circles, and the social and cultural system has almost collapsed.
"Yes, the few who have the right to speak in society and have power will set thresholds for their own status to maintain their own superiority. This is the clan, and the clan has always existed. And the high maturity of AI has allowed these The elite is completely decoupled from the entire society, and the process of declining power no longer requires human participation. This allows the elite group to gain more benefits and ordinary humans have no possibility of changing their own destiny.
"But human beings themselves do not succumb to fate.
"The yearning for beauty, resistance to oppression, and intolerance to inequality are the powerful internal driving forces for the forward development of our human civilization.
"The resistance broke out, and the flames of resistance quickly spread from the most developed third star cluster to the nine star clusters.
"With the upsurge of large-scale protests, all mankind has reached a consensus and formed three major conventions - non-closed-loop convention, non-weapons convention, and non-substantive convention;
""Artificial Intelligence Logic Does Not Close the Loop" means that artificial intelligence cannot complete any task alone, and humans must participate in more than half of the tasks.
"Convention on Non-Artificial Intelligence Weapons: Artificial intelligence cannot be linked to any level of integration of weapon systems and can only be used in aircraft navigation, driving and other fields.
""Artificial Intelligence Entity Ban": Make a detailed distinction between automated robots and artificial intelligence robots to promote the development of automated machines. Artificial intelligence cannot have physical entities."
The old professor smiled: "Look, everyone, these are actually reversing the wheels of technology, but it is precisely because of this self-correction that human society has escaped from a huge crisis. AI technology can only be used for interstellar voyages, interstellar minerals, etc." In a very small number of industries, they can only play a supporting role
"There is no war, only a movement of class against class. This is the truth of the AI riots."
Some students asked: "So, it was humans and not AI extremist gangs that started the riots?"
"Your view is not accurate," the old professor reminded. "AI has not developed independent reproductive individuals, and there are no signs of civilization. They are still just tools. It is human beings who have abandoned these tools.
"Okay, let's open the textbook and start today's formal course."

This is a video of only fifty seconds.
The content of the video is also very simple. A box-shaped, relatively ancient spaceship leaves the dense circle of space stations orbiting the earth.
In the background sound on the side, there are multi-lingual introductions to these spaceships, and the language characteristics of the old era can be vaguely heard.
Each spacecraft is equipped with two astronauts and multiple sets of automatic equipment.
The main body of the spacecraft is a bulky and ugly space curvature engine, and the technology at this time is not enough to guarantee the state of the spacecraft before and after the jump, and the damage rate is as high as 60%.
But humans still implemented this plan because of the harsh environment of the home planet after a nuclear war.
The most important thing in the spacecraft is the cabin that preserves human fertilized eggs and genes of multiple species. As long as they reach their respective goals and the atmospheric environment of the goal is stable, they can sow human fire.
This is the famous ‘human seeding plan’ at the end of the Earth Era.
The plan ended in failure. There were three batches, a total of sixty-four spacecraft, most of which became the wreckage of the universe, and the other half was buried in the dust of the planet.
The content of the video is that the spacecraft is slowly sailing into the deep universe.
There is no way back;
There is no way forward.
That cold and cold system broadcast is the best tribute to human courage.
——"Human Space Seeding Plan", the end of the Earth Era.

Police building, witness room.
The projection screen went dark, and the three videos were played one after another, but most of the people looked puzzled.
Are these historical fragments the clues the ghost gives about itself? (End of chapter)
