Chapter 608: Philosophical Discussion, How Thinking Is Formed

Xiao Ming bluntly took out the two steps of brain research, the first step is to allow the user's thinking to communicate with Xiaochu completely seamlessly, which is the true meaning of the existence of Qinghe equipment in the future.

"The real way to control Qinghe's device is not to appear on a virtual keyboard or to talk to Xiao Chu with voice, but to think. We can use our thinking to tell Xiao Chu what we need Qinghe equipment to do. ”

Xiao Ming said: "This is the true meaning of the existence of Qinghe equipment. ”

Lin Li kept nodding, when the Qinghe equipment was just launched, Lin Li knew that Pangu Technology would eventually come to this point, if it can realize the direct docking of thinking and Xiaochu, then the work efficiency will be improved a lot, the improvement of efficiency means the increase in output value, and it means that many traditional industries will be eliminated.

"And what about the second step?"

Xiao Ming is going to set a goal for the senior management of Pangu Technology today, and in the next few years, Pangu Technology will move towards this goal.

"Through a certain method, whether it is a biological thinking chip or a quantum chip, we must be able to completely replicate the human brain, completely copy someone's thinking, and store it on our server, and realize the immortality of thinking through technical means. ”

"To a certain extent, the immortality of the mind represents the immortality of the individual person, which is our ultimate goal. ”

This is the first time that Xiao Ming has said the scientific research project in front of everyone, and the content is indeed shocking.

Lin Li said to himself: "Human beings are actually a very amazing species, the universe created us, so that we not only have life, but also we have the ability to think, to think about nature, to think about the universe itself." ”

Xiao Ming threw out the ultimate purpose of the experiment, and also gave the experimental problem, if you want to connect thinking with quantum computers, then the first point is to understand thinking.

In contemporary scientific research, human beings know little about the formation of thinking, which also brings great difficulty to the Pangu Science and Technology Laboratory.

Xu Limin stood from the perspective of physics and said: "We might as well return all our ideas to the source. ”

Qian Yi walked into the laboratory and made a pot of tea for everyone.

Although the summer tea that has been put for two seasons is not as fresh as when it was just picked, it has become more thick and pure after two seasons of precipitation.

Xu Limin took a sip of tea, his thinking became a little clearer, and he said: "The origin I set is matter. ”

"At present, the world as we know it is composed of matter (note: Einstein's theory of relativity shows that energy is the measurement of the range of the motion period of the basic unit of matter in space, and modern physical string theory believes that matter is composed of strings, and different modes of movement of strings will produce different matter or energy, which will not be mentioned here, but will be involved in the future), so what are the smallest units of these worlds? It is the atoms, electrons, protons and even quarks that we are familiar with. ”

Xu Limin knew that if he continued to talk about it, he would further the topic, and he said: "Since human beings are made up of these basic units, the basis of human thinking must also be these substances. Maybe we need to study at the level of biomolecules and at the level of physical particles. ”

Lin Li added: "There is also a need for macro unification. If we study a neuron or a synaptic cell, we won't get anything, because the cell itself doesn't have the ability to think. Thinking and consciousness are for the human brain as a whole. ”

"Just as we simply study a stone, it is a stone, but in the whole macrocosm of the universe, will this stone act like the cells in neurons?

"To give another example, one ant in the colony is not representative, but when it comes to the whole colony, it has a colony mindset, although this kind of thinking is not advanced. ”

Xiao Ming smiled and hurriedly stopped, sure enough, it was not beyond his expectations. The technical discussion became a philosophical one.

Human beings are so microscopic that we can't know what the universe really is, and we can't know whether the real cosmic mind exists.

Human beings are too macrocosm, so macrocosm that we can't see what the microcosm below the atom is like.

Xiao Ming said: "In fact, the first step is not so complicated, and the price of the unmanned aircraft controlled by the mind in the TB mall is not more than a thousand yuan. ”

Xiao Ming's words made everyone laugh.

"What we really need to build is a bridge between the mindset and the quantum chip. Xiao Ming gave the exchange surprise and got the technical information, he said: "Our brain is composed of 100 billion neurons, and the properties of each neuron itself are not intelligent, but only when so many neurons transmit transmitters at the speed of light (brain waves) at the same time, and use their unique language (coding) to transmit information, at this time, the brain has a mind! When AKT and CaMK II proteins promote synaptic connections, the brain will form a long-term memory." ”

"In the past, our binary computers could not understand the brain's thinking, because 100 billion neurons are not comparable to ordinary supercomputers, and binary simple "0" and "1" calculations cannot understand and explore the brain's thinking.

But quantum computers are different, even if the computing of quantum computers can not meet all the requirements of the brain's thinking, so that it can organize and output language and words, Xiaochu should still be able to achieve through the brain's language control, this experiment is actually not difficult. ”

Xiao Ming finally output the end point of the experiment - to master the way of thinking compilation.

Gao Siqi said: "It seems that it is impossible to catch up with the progress you ask for by using mice to study slowly, and we need human volunteers." ”

Xiao Ming said: "Contact the hospital, I think some unfortunate paralyzed but thinking patients may agree to our request for experiments, and the laboratory in South Anfei will also be moved, in case there is no suitable candidate here." ”

Xiao Ming also said: "Let's not think of human thinking as a great thing, although it is indeed great, but for the whole universe, human beings are small and ordinary, and we can form thinking, in fact, it is also the result of nature and the universe compiling us." ”

Xiao Ming's last sentence silenced everyone at the scene, human beings have always been proud of their achievements in the process of scientific and technological development, and consider themselves unique in the universe.

No, the thinking we are most proud of is actually the result of the compilation of neurons in many different ways.

With this definition, human scientists can let go of the last bit of arrogance in their hearts and seriously think about humanity and the future.
