Yan Fei had absolutely no idea that Yang Qi would say that his Artificial Intelligence "Dream" was being watched by others because it performed too perfectly. If it weren't for the alert that appeared when integrating the Auxiliary Brain with "Dream," he would have never known about this.
Yan Fei found it somewhat unbelievable and said, "Artificial Intelligence can only operate based on the code within it; everything about it is programmed by its creators. How could it develop self-awareness? If such an Artificial Intelligence truly exists, wouldn't it be an independent life form, indistinguishable from us humans?"
Yang Qi said, "I also don't know why an Artificial Intelligence would develop self-awareness, but once it has, it's no longer Artificial Intelligence. It becomes a complete life form, and the most unique kind of Digital Life."
"Artificial Intelligence inherently has powerful calculation abilities, and once it develops self-awareness, it gains the ability to innovate. Given enough time, this Artificial Intelligence could fully deduce the technologies of the Universe. The fact that it quietly accessed our Artificial Intelligence and left a large amount of code within it shows that the technological level this Artificial Intelligence has mastered far exceeds that of our Dream Island. Our Dream Island couldn't detect this invasion and cannot resist this kind of invasion."
Yan Fei became a bit worried and said, "If things are really as you say, hasn't our Dream Island already been targeted by this mysterious Digital Life? Through 'Dream,' it already knows everything happening on our Dream Island?"
Yan Fei was very concerned about others knowing the ins and outs of Dream Island, but fortunately, when he integrated "Dream" with the Auxiliary Brain, he had already deleted the mysterious code within "Dream," cutting off the Digital Life's path to monitor him. However, just the thought of possibly being monitored by this Digital Life before made Yan Fei uncomfortable.
Yang Qi also noticed Yan Fei's concerns and said, "Things might not be as bad as you think. Actually, there's another possibility, which is that the Digital Life left the code within 'Dream' simply out of interest in this perfect Artificial Intelligence and wants to study it, not because it harbors ill-intent toward our Dream Island."
"The way Digital Life and Artificial Intelligence communicate might be different from how life forms like us communicate. They may be able to communicate over vast distances, but that doesn't necessarily mean they can use 'Dream' to monitor our Dream Island. Since our Artificial Intelligence hasn't fundamentally changed, it can only handle affairs based on its core permissions and will absolutely not leak our intelligence to unauthorized Digital Life. So, even though this Digital Life discovered our Artificial Intelligence, it won't know any intelligence about our Earth or even the entire Solar System."
At this point, Yan Fei could only hope Yang Qi was correct. Fortunately, he had already deleted the unknown code within "Dream," and with the help of the mysterious Drone System, he now had absolute control over his Artificial Intelligence "Dream." Even if there truly was a Digital Life, it could no longer control his Artificial Intelligence "Dream" again.
Through this exchange with Yang Qi, Yan Fei's eyes were opened. When he was still trapped on Earth, he often looked up at the Cosmic Starry Sky and imagined what the Universe he was in was like. But when technology advanced enough for Yan Fei to enter the Cosmic Starry Sky himself, he found that this Universe was nothing like he imagined; many of his previous understandings of the Universe exceeded his imagination, causing many of his earlier views to change dramatically.
Yan Fei said, "Yang Qi, we have already stepped out of Earth and gained more understanding of this Universe, but I always feel like I'm shrouded in fog and still can't see the true face of this Universe. You have been researching the Universe and have gained many insights; could you tell me what you think our Universe is really like?"
Yang Qi said, "Although I have been researching the essence of our Universe, trying to see it clearly, and have touched upon some of its mysteries, this Universe is so vast and boundless that the part I understand is just a drop in the ocean and doesn't help us to know all the facts about this Universe."
Yan Fei said, "I know you're a standard scientist, so your words are always cautious and not random. But we're just chatting now, not engaging in rigorous academic discussion. You can tell me what you imagine the Universe to be like."
Yang Qi thought for a moment and said, "I do have a hypothesis about our Universe, but it's just a hypothesis and cannot be proven. However, this hypothesis represents my most complete understanding of the Universe, and I believe it is the closest to the truth. I can share it with you, but remember, this is just a hypothesis and not a fact."
Yan Fei immediately became interested and said, "Then tell me, what is your hypothesis about our Universe?"
Yang Qi gathered his thoughts and then asked, "Yan Fei, how do you think our Universe was created?"
