Chapter 46: The Contradiction of Suicide

"Lu Ze, it's Lu Ze, the 'father of the Star Spirit Network' Lu Ze!"

As soon as Lu Ze and Lu Li's figures appeared, a virtual personality screamed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After hearing the shouts of the virtual personality, Lu Ze was stunned for a moment, although Sarah had said that there were not many people who didn't know him in this era, but at that time, Lu Ze thought it was Sarah joking, but he didn't expect him to be recognized by people in an instant.

Another virtual personality next to him said, "Who is the girl next to Lu Ze?" It's so cute. ”

There are also virtual personalities who make exaggerated appearances: "Oh my God, I actually saw the living 'Father of the Star Spirit Network'!" ”

Lu Ze was speechless, although he was a person a hundred years ago, he was just hibernating, and he didn't die, what is "alive"?

However, Lu Ze also knew that the reason why people had such an exaggerated reaction was more because a historical figure who could only be seen in books in the past suddenly appeared in front of him.

Just like Lu Ze, if he saw Newton or Einstein appear in front of him, his reaction would definitely be just as exaggerated. But this reaction does not mean a loss of mind.

But regardless of whether these people have known him for a long time and recognized him directly through his appearance, or only recognized him after consulting information through the Star Spirit Network, just from the reactions of these virtual personalities to seeing him, we know that his popularity is not weaker than Alice, even if it is not as good as a few Prometheans.

Soon the avatars calmed down.

Yang Hai began to introduce: "As you already know, this person standing next to me now is Lu Ze, who is known as the 'Father of the Star Spirit Network', and the only hibernator in human history, who came to our era after a hundred years of hibernation. ”

The avatars applauded in unison.

"But now, he has another identity." Yang Hai paused as he spoke, and when everyone's curiosity was aroused, he said slowly: "That's the first neural uploader!" ”

At this moment, the eyes of all virtual personalities were focused on Lu Ze, although the number of virtual personalities was only twelve, but Lu Ze knew that there were at least billions of people who were focused on him at this time.

Even if he has made a certain amount of psychological preparation, Lu Ze is just an ordinary person after removing the halo of "Father of Star Spirit Network", where has he experienced such a scene. The thought of billions of people staring at him now, Lu Ze was so nervous that he could hardly breathe. After Yang Hai finished his introduction, he still stood in place at a loss with a stiff smile on his face, and he didn't know if he should say hello to everyone.

Then Yang Hai looked at Lu Li, who seemed to be equally nervous, and continued to introduce: "And she is the first transcendent, Lu Ze's second consciousness after being nervously uploaded, Lu Li. ”

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Li.

So Lu Li also froze there like Lu Ze, at a loss.

At this time, one of the virtual personalities suddenly looked at Lu Ze with admiration, and then said in the same tone as Lan Ye at the beginning: "It is worthy of being the 'father of the Star Spirit Network', it is really good at fun!" I'm ashamed of myself! ”

Not only the tone and expression, but even the content of the speech was exactly the same as that of Lan Ye at that time.

The most important thing is that this is still said in front of billions of people!

How can this be!

Lu Li's face turned red all of a sudden, and Lu Ze was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

But thanks to this virtual personality, the two are finally less nervous.

Lu Ze knew that since it was their turn to appear, it meant that they were about to enter the process of revising the core rules of the Star Spirit Network, but there was a problem he had to point out before that.

Lu Ze said: "Just now, we discussed the various impacts and solutions that may be brought to human civilization after the neural upload, so the next step should be to enter the link of modifying the core rules of the Star Spirit Network, but I still have a question before that." ”

"What's the problem?" Virtual Personality Number One asked.

Lu Ze said: "In the discussion just now, you seem to have overlooked one point, you took into account the situation that the uploader's first consciousness chose to commit suicide, and set up a suicide management committee to manage the problem of suicide, but what if the transcendent wants to commit suicide? ”

Avatar One: "Transcendental suicide?" Why did the Beyonder commit suicide? ”

Lu Ze said: "Of course, transcendents don't have to go through birth, old age, sickness and death like mortals, but in eternal life, won't there be a day when you get bored?" Although we don't yet know what an eternal person thinks, there are various fantasies about immortality in literary works throughout history, and in many literary works, there is a kind of immortal person who wants to die and cannot die, for them, just living is a kind of pain. I believe that the fantasies in these literary works reflect reality to a certain extent, so for the transcendent, if one day he gets bored with life, or experiences an event that makes him extremely sad, does it mean endless pain to live again? Would he want to end his life? ”

Yang Hai nodded solemnly: "This is indeed a problem. ”

Lu Ze continued: "For the transcendent, he himself cannot know how his consciousness works, just as we humans cannot know how the neural activity in our brains works. In the previous discussion, we decided to use a quantum firewall to ensure the absolute security of consciousness, and the physical rules determine that no one can bypass the firewall to read, tamper with, and delete the consciousness of others. But in this way, when the transcendent wants to commit suicide by erasing his consciousness, he will also be blocked by the quantum firewall. Does this mean that when one day the transcendents are really tired of being alive, they can't kill themselves by any means? ”

Avatar 2: "We can still put the Suicide Management Committee in charge." When the transcendents decide to commit suicide, after obtaining approval from the Suicide Management Committee, the members of the committee remove the consciousness of the transcendentals. ”

Lu Ze said: "But then another problem will arise, if there is any way to kill the transcendent, whether it is using some kind of technology to bypass the firewall or directly physically destroying the computer that keeps the transcendent in reality, doesn't this mean that the consciousness of the transcendent is not 100% safe?" If the consciousness of the transcendental can be deleted in some way, or the computer that stores the consciousness can be destroyed directly in reality, then it is bound to bypass the firewall in the same way, or use nanobots to read and tamper with that person's consciousness in reality! ”

Yang Hai pondered for a long time before saying, "Yes, Lu Ze is right, it is indeed impossible for us to find a way to ensure the absolute safety of the transcendent's consciousness and at the same time allow the transcendent to commit suicide. It's a contradiction, either we give up the possibility of suicide or we have to give up absolute safety, and it is impossible to do both. ”
