Chapter 201
Seeing the way many people are thinking, Zhang Yuan added: "Many problems are completely mediocre and self-disturbing. For example, sleep. Human beings always sleep. During those hours, Is it possible to think that the old me is dead and the new me is born?"
"For example, hibernation, consciousness is directly interrupted for hundreds of years! When human beings wake up, how does this consciousness reappear? Is the me before and after hibernation a different me?"
"...Even if you use that instrument, the original me died suddenly at that moment, creating a new me, but The new self doesn’t have any feelings, and there is no related memory... In the new self’s cognition, consciousness is still continuous, which is enough."
"If the'new self' and the'old self' 'Exactly the same, the entire world has not changed, and no one knows about it, so according to the razor principle, there is no need to consider this insignificant matter."
Some scientists think it makes sense, looking thoughtful and nodded.
Many people also heard that the "old me" might disappear, and they were so scared that the complexion ashen sat aside not say a word.
This kind of problem seems very strange and weird. If you can accept it, you can easily accept it. If you can't accept it, you can't accept it.
Of course, there are still many people who be eager to have a try and are willing to continue to serve as volunteers.
Anyway, regardless of the outcome of the debate, humans are impossible because of choking, so research must continue.
As for...whether you can accept this technology is a matter of personal choice...
After the meeting, Zhang Yuan caught up with the bionics expert, Ichiro Yamamoto Academician.
This Yamamoto Academician is Zhang Yuan’s peers. As the proponent of the bionics project, he is a very weird and serious guy.
"Yamamoto, what do you think of this problem?"
"Me?" Yamamoto looked all around and said softly, "Of course it is to abandon the weak body and embrace the stronger Body! Originally, in my transformation plan, I wanted to preserve the human brain, but now it seems that the brain doesn’t need to be preserved.... Just upload it directly and complete the silicon-based transformation! It’s a bit perfect!"
Zhang Yuan laughed: "You hate human bodies so much? No wonder you don't find a girlfriend until now."
"No, I don't hate, I still long for girls, but girls don't. Me." Yamamoto scratched his head, and his bald head grabbed a few more hairs. "Inventing a real girlfriend from the second element is my dream."
Zhang Yuan haha I laughed twice: "Do you really think that humans can crack this technology?"
"It involves not only science, but also philosophy and religion. This is no longer what science can solve. Terribly...I even think that there is no possibility of cracking Bozeman's self-awareness before it is confirmed."
"Even if...the technology is cracked, when the time comes is really used, The voice of opposition is not generally loud."
Yamamoto sighed, "Zhang Yuan, you underestimate the human being’s ability to covet life and fear death. When death is imminent, they will make a choice, even if it is really possible to change They will still choose if they have realized consciousness."
"This is...immortality!"
Zhang Yuan also shook the head.
Actually, what he is worried about is not people’s choice, but, does human being have such a level to embrace true immortality? Is this really a science and technology that is beneficial to the entire civilization?
What would a world without death look like?
Zhang Yuan could not imagine, but shuddered forcibly.
Eternal life, a historical sample that has never appeared before, and even the new civilization historiography can't give a good direction... But Zhang Yuan faintly, this is not a good thing in imagination.
If a basin of water has no fluidity, it will quickly deteriorate and become immortal, which undoubtedly prevents this fluidity.
Three months passed quickly, and the vigorous 1st Stage cracking work came to an end temporarily.
As many scientists have foreseen, except for the deciphering of alien languages, the progress of other work is not very good. On the one hand, there is not enough manpower. Overwhelming majority scientists are still hibernating. ; On the other hand, the generation gap in science and technology is a bit big. This gap cannot be quickly bridged through hard work.
In this situation where there is no hope for cracking, some scientists have already entered hibernation, and in the next batch, it will be Zhang Yuan and the others.
...
On this day, a crazy scream suddenly came from a small office.
"haha, look what I found! Look what I found?"
"haha!"
"It's so unexpected, so unexpected! "
This is the room of Li Zhendong, an informatics expert. All kinds of messy instruments and equipment are piled up on the floor. This guy is yelling feverishly. Ruddy complexion is like a balloon. There seems to be something. An incredible discovery.
Language and writing, as the only part of progress at present, is of course the top priority.
If the language is not deciphered, everything behind it will be impossible to talk about.
However, the language of Gaia civilization is a bit difficult to understand. There are too many vocabulary in it, and there are many meanings that are not possessed by human language at all. So in three months, so many scientists can only produce a preliminary translation machine that can translate some simple languages.
But just today, Li Zhendong has made an amazing discovery!
"Old Zhang! Old Zhang! Look what I found!"
Li Zhendong was talking on the phone, throwing away his feet and starting to run wildly.
Thousands of years ago, Earth Era once encountered a Planetary Grade other alien spaceship and received the signal of this spaceship.
When I was very boring, Li Zhendong tried a variety of information encoding methods. When I tried a more crude error correction code, a miracle happened...
This string of error correction codes can be deciphered in the language of Gaia civilization!
It's just... incredible!
When he informed Zhang Yuan of the news, Zhang Yuan was stunned, "What, the language sent by the passing alien civilization is the same as the Gaia civilization?!"
This news is a bit weird, everyone will be a little bit from ear to ear for a while. Captain Zhao's neck even collapsed.
Li Zhendong was very satisfied with everyone's expressions, and his desire for performance was fully satisfied.
"Well, am I very awesome?"
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Zhang Yuan punched him directly.
Although this piece of information is very small, it still arouses everyone's strong curiosity.
Li Zhendong did not sell Guanzi, and soon played this deciphered content on the big screen.
"...all interstellar civilizations, please note that this is the Noah Civilization-MA37UY negative energy cyberspace construction spaceship. It is forbidden to approach within 102 astronomical units... offenders take responsibility for the consequences..."
"The current construction progress of the Pan-Galaxy network system: 45.67%...Target Star Domain, MJKH66754..."
There is a garbled code behind.
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yuan swallowed, "Why is Noah civilization, isn't it Gaia civilization? Did you make a mistake?"
"No, no The same word..." Li Zhendong said uncertainly: "As for the Noah civilization... it's a name I chose at will, a code name. It should not be Gaia, I'm not sure."
People From this piece of information, two key points can be obtained.
First, negative energy cyberspace is another very weird term.
Anyway, it must be an extremely large project, because such a large Planetary Grade spaceship is only a construction spaceship...I don’t know if it will affect humans.
Secondly, this so-called "Noah civilization" is bound to be extremely powerful.
Zhang Yuan doesn’t know what to say anymore. A sublight flying planet is just a spaceship construction. Well, I don’t know what to say anymore.
He is comparing the so-called "Gaia" and "Noah", which one is stronger, or the two are probably the same, it's just a matter of human translation.
...
This interesting episode will soon pass. It will not interfere with the normal journey of human beings, but has evolved into an insoluble secret.
Two months later, Zhang Yuan will enter normal hibernation again.
He wrote in his diary: "The long road of more than 3,000 years will soon pass. The next time we wake up, we will reach a new home planet."
Recalling the experience of the whole journey, the ups and downs, suddenly, Qi Qi rise in the mind!
In the whole process, he has learned a lot and has grown a lot. He is no longer a student who just graduated from university... but a person who wants to carry the entire civilization forward.
"There have been enough stories along the way, but they are all in the past, and the future is more important. We will finally be here to take a new step!"
"If the Earth civilization has died, let us reborn from the ashes in the future..."
Gliese 518, we are here!
