I Found A Planet

Talents. Only “humans” owned the so-called “talents.” In many conspiracy theories or science fiction, artificial intelligence, robots, and similar technologies were portrayed as ferocious beasts, catastrophic floods, and a threat that would destroy mankind. In fact, this was an act of weakness, low self-esteem, and timidity. As the “creator” of artificial intelligence and robots, how could humans be so vulnerable? How would they be bested by the “products” of their own creation? The fear of the opposers might have originated from their foolishness and ignorance.

A wise man fears no evil.

Looking at artificial intelligence Nuwa and Alice, whose performance wasn’t that “omnipotent” after all, Chen Jin, on the other hand, felt rather relieved. If they were to be omnipotent, he would not be needed at all. It would imply that his arrival on planet Haierfa was completely worthless and he would be no more than a dispensable “outsider.”

From the looks of it, Chen Jin was not extra. He thought for a while about the difficulties that Nuwa and Alice were facing and swiftly came up with a plan. “Let’s do it this way. Nuwa, go make a game with Alice. The game shall be called ‘100% Science Lab.’ The target population should mainly be the scientists in the R&D field back on Earth. We would attract those people to the game. The platform for the game’s operations will be you and Alice’s servers, which are two computers with near-infinite computing powers. The degree of simulation will be set at 100%. This game will be somewhat similar to a business strategy game. Every player will have their own laboratory. The laboratories will be divided into classes from low to high grade as F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, and then the Supreme Laboratory, totaling at 10. The types of the laboratories will be Biology laboratory; Physics Laboratory; Chemistry Laboratory; Mathematics Laboratory; Material Laboratory; Medical Laboratory; Quantum Science Laboratory; and so on. All fields shall be included. Before entering the game, players from each field will go through a professional exam of their respective field. Assuming that the total score is 100, those who got lower than 60 will not be qualified for the game. For those whose scores are between 60 to 70, assign them to the F grade laboratory, 71 to 80, the E grade laboratory, and for 80 and above, the D grade laboratory. A different initial environment will be provided according to initial ability. Of course, the starting point doesn’t determine everything. Efforts and contributions made later will bear more significance. The reason being that, after the game started, aside from doing research in projects they are interested in and acquiring results that belong to the players themselves, the system will also give them credits. The credits can be used in purchasing tools, renting lab equipment, or it can be used in upgrading the laboratory, thus improving the grade of their laboratory gradually. Besides, the system will often publish tasks that come with a reward. Those players who accomplish those missions and solve the system’s problem can earn for themselves a rich amount of credits. When a game like this goes on, the player’s problem-solving abilities will grow stronger. Gradually, they will be able to take on problems that you and Alice couldn’t. Just like what you said, Nuwa. Theoretically speaking, the Grand Unification Formula can never be deduced. Artificial intelligence can never deduct such a formula, but humans could. It was the human imagination that deducted this formula. Those humans have entered the realm of ‘God.’ Our ‘100% Science Lab’ will try to draw in more ‘Gods,’ gathering more ‘imagination’ and ‘creativity’ to aid you both in developing advanced technology and achieving breakthroughs.”

The problems encountered by Nuwa and Alice would then be readily solved. Chen Jin’s mind went over the horizon. He went so detailed in this because he played too many games in the past, including strategy management games. Therefore, he thought of solving the problem via the means of games.

“Master, your idea is good, but it can’t solve the problem entirely.” Nuwa shook her head. “My and Alice’s computer cannot do 100% simulations, only infinitely approaching. Certain errors will still exist. Moreover, in areas that I and Alice are unskilled in, it would be impossible for us to solve the problems via our computer simulation.”

Only problems on classical physics, chemistry, and mathematics could be handled. Conundrums in uncharted territory could never be unveiled. To solve unknown problems and seek out its mysteries, it could only be done within 100% reality where it would be tested with tools in reality.

“That would be easy! Just build the labs in ‘reality’ and allow the players to operate them in reality.” Chen Jin said, “The Supreme Laboratory in ‘100% Science Lab’ will be located in the desert on planet Haierfa, on the moon, or the super large laboratory hovering in space. The facilities at those places are very complete and will support any bizarre experiments. Players on Earth will be connected via a virtual helmet and will be able to truly experience everything through quantum communication which has no delay. They can create everything for real and let their imaginations go wild. The ‘100% Science Lab’ should be 100% genuine.”

This would be somewhat similar to him governing planet Haierfa by wearing a virtual helmet back on Earth. On the surface, it was a game, but in reality, players would have 100% influence on another completely real dimension. The game would be best described as a “real game.”

“Nuwa, you said that technological advancements on Haierfa are leading Earth by more than 200 years. There should be no problem if we use the ‘100% Science Lab’ incorporated on computers to gather talents for now. I guess it won’t be an immediate thing that virtual helmets and Supreme Laboratories would be used.”

The development of science and technology was fast. Various theories and formulas were emerging one after another. For where the scientists on Earth were currently at, it would be impossible for them to be at a level capable of assisting Nuwa in an instant. Just like a primary schooler with a brilliant imagination, could they help university students who were lacking imagination? Obviously, they couldn’t. They would only be useful when their knowledge about truth was on the same level as the prior. Compared to Nuwa, the scientists on Earth were about elementary to junior high level.

“You’re a correct master. Within 10 years, the scientists on Earth would not provide us much help… they will need to complement themselves with lots of necessary knowledge in the ‘Science Lab’ before they could be useful in the days to come.”

In a sentence, scientists on Earth still had a lot to do to catch up. Until they finally caught up, the most excellent among all would then put on the “virtual helmet” that Xing Hai Technologies created for them. Their consciousness would be sent to another universe and into the Supreme Laboratory, where they would be at service for planet Haierfa and truth itself.

Chen Jin smiled and crossed his arms. “So, does it mean that my idea is feasible, and we could use this to solve the problem?”

“Yes, master.” Nuwa nodded. “While we were conversing, I’ve already completed the ‘100% Science Lab’.” Before him, Nuwa displayed the login interface of a game.

Chen Jin shook his head. “Now that’s fast!”

“Master, I have a suggestion!” Alice said, “Master, I think that aside from having the Z language version, we should do a few foreign editions of the ‘Science Lab’ and promote the game across the world. There are 7.5 billion people on Earth and your kind, master, is only a small part of them. The scientists from the Z nation are brilliant, but there are excellent scientists in other countries as well. We must not harness the wisdom of scientists from only one country. We need wisdom from all scientists throughout the entire planet! Only in this way can we speed up our research significantly!”

Nuwa expressed her agreement. “What Alice said was true. From the perspective of maximizing our benefits, our stretch shouldn’t be that narrow.”

“Science without borders, eh?” Chen Jin nodded. If this was to benefit him greatly, science should be without boundaries. He took Alice’s advice and agreed to launch the ‘100% Science Lab’ in various languages, promoting this scientific simulation game to the entire world.
