Chapter 43: How Consciousness Arises

There was a single person on a table, not even a flag, and a papier-mΓ’chΓ© shell was placed on the lonely table, on which were handwritten a few large characters "Biophysical Recruitment Office".

"Sign up?" The person at the table saw Zhao Lin spinning around here, quickly stood up and asked, "Classmate, are you going to be a freshman this year?" ”

Zhao Lin took out the notice and handed it over, "It seems to be." ”

The man took the notice and looked at it, and actually burst into tears, crying and saying, "Great, I finally have a companion." ”

Zhao Lin is stupid, this situation is not right.

"When I joined our department the year before last, I was the only student, and last year there was not a single freshman, and I was still the only student. I thought I would be lonely until I graduated, but I really didn't expect it. The junior senior saw his relatives, grabbed Zhao Lin's hand and said, "You are here!" ”

There are few people, Zhao Lin doesn't care, it doesn't matter what the major is, he originally came here to experience the atmosphere of the university. But such a crazy brother is really a bit unbearable, and the key is that there is only one.

"Senior brother, I don't know what our major is for, can you tell me about it?" Zhao Lin pulled out his hand and asked sincerely.

"I knew you'd be asking that." The senior proudly said, "Of course, our major exists to study the laws of biology and elucidate the mysteries of life. ”

"What are the courses?"

"This, well, this biology course must be learned." The senior was a little unnatural and said, "Our major is indispensable to use physical means, so physics courses are also indispensable; Some things in chemistry need to be used in experiments, and they also need to be understood; Mathematics is the foundation of everything, and it is impossible to talk about it without learning; There is a shortage of literature in China, and if you are not proficient in foreign languages, you can't do research; If you have enough energy, it's best to take classes like basic medicine and kinesiology......"

Zhao Lin collapsed and said, "What about the professional class?" ”

The senior asked Zhao Lin to sit down on the table, and then he said, "These are all ......"

Zhao Lin's legs were weak, and he was almost planted on the ground, this life is really bitter. According to him, wouldn't he have to take many times more courses than others?

There are no such things in the memories left in the previous life, and it is too torturous to learn them all from scratch, even if Zhao Lin is quite interested in learning, he still struggled to press the idea of finding a brick to kill him when he heard this.

Biophysics, a marginal discipline, is not yet mature in its development, and it is far from mature until the 21st century, let alone in the 80s. The research is also very extensive, covering almost all the basic problems of biology.

Unlike the descriptive research of general biology, biophysics also needs to explain the basic causes of these phenomena, and as biological data becomes more and more abundant, there is an increasing need for the kind of analysis and computational methods that characterize physics.

After continuous development, modern physics has reached a mature stage, and mankind's understanding of the laws of the material world has also reached an unprecedented height, and almost all known physical phenomena can be explained well with existing theories. However, in the face of complex life matter and life phenomena, it is extremely powerless.

The integration of the two is an inevitability, and there is this profession.

Zhao Lin thought back to the news reports of the scientific community in the following decades, and sadly found that no matter how hard he tried, he could only become a stepping stone for this discipline.

After dispelling the idea of making contributions in this major, Zhao Lin finally relieved himself, and it was good to deal with his homework casually and experience college life well.

"Do you know the ultimate goal of our profession?" The senior asked mysteriously.

"I don't know, what is it?" Zhao Lin replied honestly.

The senior came over, looked around sneakily, and whispered, "Use scientific methods to explain how consciousness is generated!" ”

The hearts of people who study this profession are too big, and isn't this a matter that has always been the domain of theology and philosophy? No wonder you can't recruit students, who is willing to dance in such a big pit!

Thanks to Zhao Lin's original intention, he didn't mean to make achievements in his profession, otherwise he would have to find a way to change his major after listening to this sentence. Even if the homework is heavy, dig such a big pit for people to jump in, can you pit a little more?

Even if the task of receiving Zhao Lin is completed, this orientation work is really easy.

There are fewer people and fewer people, Zhao Lin, the only senior, is called Liang Shuang, who occupied a two-person room by himself before, and his life was very leisurely, but now that Zhao Lin is here, the two of them are still comfortable living in one room. Thinking about those classmates who were squeezed into a room with six or eight people, Zhao Lin felt much more comfortable.

The two of them went to the backstreet to pour a belly of beer, even if it was a welcome party.

There are a total of eight teachers in the department, all of whom are great gods in this field, and all of them have national-level research projects on their bodies, and it is too luxurious to teach two students.

It may be that they are afraid that there are too few students and waste resources, so Zhao Lin and Liang Shuang basically do not take classes in this department, and the classrooms of physics, biology, mathematics, foreign languages and other majors are frequent visitors.

The busy and free campus life fascinated Zhao Lin, and two months passed accidentally. If Liu Daqing hadn't found it, he would have forgotten about the band.

"You're so big-hearted. and Huang Cheng, both of us are almost exhausted, you are good, you haven't shown up for two months. After Liu Daqing found Zhao Lin in the library, he was dissatisfied and said, "What kind of broken major are you, I quickly turned over Beijing University to find out where you are, ask one if you haven't heard of it, ask two if you haven't heard of it." I thought you were kidding me. ”

Zhao Lin closed the book and said, "There are two students in our major, it's lucky that you can find me so soon, what else is there to be dissatisfied." ”

"Don't grind, it's the first time the band has to show up for anything." Liu Daqing pulled him and was about to go out.

Zhao Lin had no choice but to follow him out of the library, and asked halfway, "What's the name of the band?" ”

"The root of the wall!" Liu Daqing said proudly, "How about this name, it has a Chinese style." ”

Zhao Lin suggested that the band should have Chinese characteristics, and it would be a good name to choose this one. Zhao Lin said perfunctorily, "Not bad, not bad, educated." ”

After getting on the motorcycle, Zhao Lin remembered that this thing was still his own. No wonder he didn't show up for two months, this kid could still remember himself. Throwing away the money and not taking it is worth paying for such a person no matter who it is.

After two months of putting the band together and creating the title song, it's quite exciting.
