Chapter 15: The Hope of Great Progress
Shishida Shinsuke didn't expect such an oolong, his investigation of Hoden is mainly focused on the economy, ethics and behavioral laws, and the professional stuff is only passing - the insecticide must have an extraordinary understanding of insects, otherwise how to kill them.
But I didn't expect Hordon to conduct research on insect eggs, and he hoped to achieve a killing effect through parasitic hyphae.
Shida Shinsuke heard such a thing as parasitic mycelium, and couldn't help but shake his head, Yanhuang doesn't know how many people invest how much money in a year, just to breed specific kinds of parasitic mycelium, there are several kinds of mycelium in Yanhuang are more expensive than gold.
If they really work out the method of large-scale reproduction of parasitic hyphae, what insecticides do they do, and farming mycelium is not more profitable than buying insecticides.
He called Horden over to talk about it, and found out that this person was really a paranoid, and he was dismissive of the mechs on the market, but when Shida Shinsuke took out the video of the Freebird team on a mission, he immediately became fanatical.
What this doctor has in mind is a device that can replace the human body, so that people can prolong their lives without losing all their senses, and it is best to replace even reproduction, so that people are born with a set of replaceable mechanical bodies, so as to achieve the goal of eternal life.
When Shida Shinsuke asked him why he wanted to live forever and not study genes, cells, and bioengineering, he spread his hands: "I have studied it, otherwise how can I modify the human body?"
All cells are attenuated, even brain cells are no exception, and the mainstream belief that brain cells are not attenuated is simply because they have not measured it.
When a person begins to age, his body cells will release a pheromone, which is a death signal for the entire human body, which comes from the cell structure itself.
Brain cells have a toxic reaction after being exposed to thick pheromones, and when they reach a certain amount, there will be various problems in the human brain, and the least active brain cells will have problems first, so there is a saying that exercising what function will prevent what brain disease.
This pheromone of somatic cells cannot be isolated, it exists in every information exchange between cells, I believe that if you want to see how many cells in the human body and how many cell information exchange activities are at all times, even such a big supercomputer as the earth cannot accept all the biological data of a person in a day - unless it is a living organism itself.
My research on parasitic hyphae is also based on this, and this strange thing has both plant and animal properties, and its proprioceptive cell information exchange characteristics are exposed, which is a good entry point.
But the neural bundle that you've provided is amazing, it amplifies what I'm looking for, it's helpful for research, and I believe it can be used as a building block for artificial intelligence.
Quite simply, people control their bodies by brains, breathing, fluid flow, hormone production, muscle memory, and so on.
It also relies on the instinctive reflexes of neurites, which artificial intelligence uses to replace nerve reflexes on mechanical bodies, and to be honest, this part is much more complex than the brain. ”
Insects are much simpler, but again, the study of the neural workings of insects is not very helpful to human research, because they work in completely different ways, and may even be the opposite.
Regarding Shishida Shinsuke's suggestion of the way creatures are controlled, even if there is an example of a demon dog, Hoden is dismissive, although he studies artificial intelligence, but it is this kind of research that makes him understand that electronic signals are too simple compared to biological signals.
He even asserted that even if Doon Pharmaceutical studied for another hundred years, it would be impossible for them to control the behavior of biological weapons in detail, unless the biological weapons themselves had a good understanding, even close to humans.
But this is another paradox - how can humans trust such a thing that too intelligent biological weapons produce self-consciousness is almost 100 percent.
Only those rigid machines that execute assigned commands are the first choice of human tools, so in the south of North American Hawk, the intelligent robot threat theory is an important public opinion position for them to resist the mecha competition.
Therefore, he strongly demanded that the creation of a brainwave transmission device that could link the minds of individual humans and biological weapons, preferably artificial intelligence bodies, of course, is the best means to operate biological weapons.
And the reason why Holden is so enthusiastic about this project is because he is now having this problem as well.
Thanks to the mecha competition, a lot of strange mechanical techniques have been promoted, for Hoden, it is not a problem to make a rudimentary body for experiments, although there are still some small problems in terms of expression, coordination, camouflage, etc., but this can be made after the prototype can be fine-tuned.
In terms of artificial intelligence, the intelligent mecha school that learned the methods of the Stark Group in the mecha competition also gave birth to a lot of experience to learn from, as a top expert in the field of artificial intelligence, he only needs to observe these templates to have a good harvest.
But in terms of consciousness control or consciousness transfer, he has no clue at all, in addition to the traditional control panel, the best human-computer interaction interface is the same as other intelligent mechas, through voice, micro-expressions, prescribed actions and the like.
This is too far from his ideal—he wants to put his brain into an artificial body, but what micro-expressions can a brain have?
At present, the common idea in the industry is to crack the human brain waves, load the translation system in the body, and directly control the artificial body through the changes of the brain waves, but this work is not only a complex system engineering, in fact, it has also encountered more difficulties.
The biggest difficulty is that everyone's brain circuits are different, the same brain waves can represent completely unrelated meanings, and the same reaction to the same thing will not be the same brain waves of two people.
This means that every time a person produces an organism, a translation system must be designed, and if a person's brain waves are read, this person will have no secrets, that is, Holden himself does not dare to completely crack his own brain circuits, once these are recorded, if someone gets it, then he will be worse than dead.
And the kind of nerve bundle that Doon Pharmaceutical took out in order to recruit him has a great bonus effect on the consciousness link, which also makes him finally see the hope of consciousness transfer - even if it is the touch of part of consciousness, it is a great progress.
