Chapter 60 Core Control

  Thank you to book friend "☆づ惜ぉ尐夜" for the sixth reward! Thanks for your support! I saw the post you sent in the book review area, and I'll take care of my body. I just took some medicine, maybe after a nap I'll feel better, haha! Your enthusiastic support is priceless, all I can do is write with heart and won't be lazy!

  Generally speaking, programs running on a computer need to be activated. In simpler terms: if you want a new program to run on your computer, you must submit an activation request to the operating system; only after the system grants permission can the installed program run.

  The intelligent program written by Feng Xiaotian itself belongs to the operating system. Even if it is intelligent, it is still a system. Its fundamental function is to process data. In essence, its functions are the same as those of commonly used computer operating systems.

  This is the problem that Feng Xiaotian encountered, because the intelligent system is a very special existence. The various configurations of the computer itself do not recognize it at all, which means that the two are incompatible. In this case, how can it run on the computer?

  This problem has been troubling Feng Xiaotian, causing him to fall into deep thought. During the four classes in the morning, he was thinking about this problem. When he went home for lunch after school, he was still thinking about it. In the four classes in the afternoon, he continued to think about it.

  The abnormal state of Feng Xiaotian did not attract much attention, but Wang Qianqian was an exception. After scolding Feng Xiaotian yesterday, she went home in a huff. Her mother, Liu Weihong, saw that she was unhappy and asked her what was wrong. Wang Qianqian told her everything about Feng Xiaotian being punished for standing. Liu Weihong listened and smiled, saying: "This can't explain anything, anyone can make mistakes. Feng Xiaotian is so sensible, I believe this wasn't his intention. You're just too impatient, why did you scold him?"

  Wang Qianqian felt reasonable after hearing her mother's words, so she wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Feng Xiaotian today. Although Feng Xiaotian was wrong, she was also very unhappy when she scolded him. However, when she noticed Feng Xiaotian's behavior, she immediately became unhappy again.

  Feng Xiaotian was in a daze all day, and anyone could tell that his mind wasn't on studying. Wang Qianqian had been intentionally or unintentionally paying attention to Feng Xiaotian, and seeing him like this made her somewhat anxious and frustrated. She even began to doubt whether it was right for her to have brought Feng Xiaotian to Guolin No. 1 Middle School - his performance now wasn't even as good as when he was at Guolin No. 3 Middle School!

  Wang Qianqian was very disappointed with Feng Xiaotian. Originally, there were still some shining points on Feng Xiaotian that she admired, but now, Wang Qianqian had thrown all his shining points far away. She felt that Feng Xiaotian was beyond salvation and couldn't help humming to herself: Since you're so disappointing, I won't bother with you anymore! Hmph!

  Feng Xiaotian had no idea what Wang Qianqian was thinking in her heart, his mind was all on artificial intelligence, as for other things, Feng Xiaotian didn't notice at all.

  After school in the afternoon, returned home, Feng Xiao Tian hastily ate something and sat down in front of the computer. The maternal program was still unfinished, if he didn't work hard, it would be absolutely impossible to complete.

  Feng Xiao Tian's condition was excellent tonight, from 6 o'clock onwards until midnight at 12 o'clock, he had been busy non-stop. Only after the clock struck did he finally stop, and saw him get up from in front of the computer, pacing back and forth in the room without stopping. His face was full of suppressed excitement, as if the maternal program had made tremendous progress.

  Indeed, after six hours of uninterrupted writing, the rough main structure of the maternal program has been completed, and thus the two major frameworks for intelligent programming have been built.

  Feng Xiaotian found it difficult to write the maternal program at first, and many places didn't know where to start. However, once he got into the state, all the difficulties disappeared immediately. Of course, there was a part of the emotional element in the maternal program that he completely copied, which allowed him to complete the main structure so quickly. This emotional element is - love.

  He's only fifteen years old and has never been in love, how can he possibly understand romance? Moreover, since the dawn of humanity, no one has ever figured out this thing called love. Everyone's perception of it is different, it's like "sour sweet bitter spicy", all kinds of feelings are present.

  Although he had never been in love, at least he had read books, and those stories of passionate love that ended in death he had seen many times. It was precisely this way that he could smoothly complete the writing work of romantic elements.

  At this moment, Feng Xiao Tian was pacing back and forth in the room, although it was already past midnight, he wasn't sleepy at all. Due to extreme excitement, his face had turned bright red. After a while, he stopped and his expression suddenly became serious. He muttered to himself: "Will artificial intelligence listen to me?"

  This is a very serious problem, what if it doesn't listen and causes trouble everywhere? Artificial intelligence isn't something to be taken lightly, if it loses control, who can stop it? I'm afraid that by then the entire network world will become its domain!

  Feng Xiang Tian thought of this, the expression on his face became even more solemn. Originally, his attention was all focused on creating artificial intelligence, and from the beginning, he had not considered this point at all. But now it's different, artificial intelligence is about to be completed, and he also realized that this is an absolutely unavoidable problem.

  After a while, Feng Xiang thought of Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics in his mind. The content of the three laws is:

  First: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

  Second: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

  Third: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

  This is a very famous law, and it's the most basic constraint that humans have on robots. Of course, in the past, it was simply impossible for anyone to implement this - there were no robots, so how could you get them to follow these three laws?

  But now it's different, Feng Xiao Tian's artificial intelligence is about to be completed. Although there is still the problem of how to activate it, I believe this problem will eventually find a solution. Once artificial intelligence is really activated, it must follow certain fundamental principles.

  Robots and intelligent programs are essentially the same, since robots have three major precepts, then intelligent programs should also have their own precepts. Feng Xiaotian thought of this, turned around and sat back in front of the computer, closing the maternal program he had just finished writing, and began to build the control core of the intelligent program.

  What is the control core? According to Feng Xiaotian's explanation, the control core contains the basic central idea of artificial intelligence and can be considered as a backdoor for intelligent programs. Through this backdoor, Feng Xiaotian can directly modify the artificial intelligence.

  Feng Xiao Tian first inputted the Three Laws of Robotics he had revised into the control core:

  First: An intelligent system shall not harm Feng Xiaotian or those whom Feng Xiaotian does not wish to be harmed.

  Second: Without violating the First Law, a smart system must obey the orders of Feng Xiaotian.

  Third: In no event shall an intelligent system compromise its own safety in compliance with the above two principles.

  It's clear that Feng Xiaotian still has his own motives. In his view, intelligent programs are his creations and should naturally prioritize serving him. As for others, as long as they don't harbor malicious intentions towards him, it's fine. If someone wants to do him harm, then they'd better not let the AI find out, or else they'll have only themselves to blame if they suffer losses.
