Chapter 2: The Future of Dreams

"Does our daughter look a lot like artificial intelligence?"

……――

Because the amount of information contained in this sentence was so great that it took Lu Ze a long time to come back to his senses!

Then he looked at the girl with a strange expression, but met the girl's incredulous gaze. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Do you mean...... This perverted uncle...... In fact...... Is it my dad? ”

The girl pointed at Lu Ze with a trembling finger, turned back to the woman in black and asked.

Feed! How can you believe it directly!

And also! Can you not mention the perverted uncle!

Lu Ze shouted frantically in his heart.

And the woman in black was already smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed.

Lu Ze immediately became angry.

"Explain it to me! I don't even know you, where did you come from, daughter? ”

"Well, you just woke up, and you definitely don't know about the current situation, as for her, she has only been born for less than two days, let alone her. Now that you're awake, I'm just going to explain everything to you. But before I do that, let me introduce myself. ”

The woman in black restrained her smile and said to Lu Ze Zhengse: "My name is Alice Damon, I am a scientist of the Regeneration Group, mainly conducting research on the nerves of the human brain, and I am now in charge of all matters related to your awakening from hibernation and physical recovery......"

Lu Ze nodded.

A hundred years ago, the Regeneration Group developed the deep hibernation technology, and Lu Ze took the initiative to apply to become the first human experimenter, and from the current results, this technology is undoubtedly a success.

"Your body has left a lot of sequelae in the centuries-long hibernation, including muscle atrophy, severe bone loss, etc., and at the moment I have only restored your brain activity by stimulating the nerves through nanobots."

Well, this "success" looks like there is still a question mark.

Then Lu Ze curiously raised his hands and looked at them in front of him.

"But I don't feel any different from my body, don't I ......?"

As if knowing what he was thinking, Alice nodded.

"That's right, we're not in the real world, but using technology like a brain in a jar to bring your consciousness into the virtual world."

Brain in a Jar!!

Lu Ze, as a science fiction author, certainly knows what this means.

His quest for the future world can be said to have reached a crazy level, which can be seen from his initiative to increase the hibernation time to 100 years during his deep hibernation experiment.

He gave up his family, friends, and all his possessions, and was willing to risk his life to come to a hundred years later.

For what?

Isn't it just to see for yourself what the world will look like in the future? What has happened to technology? What will become of human civilization?

He could give up everything, but there was only one thing he would rather die than lose.

That's free will.

A chill came out of Lu Ze's heart, making his voice tremble.

"That'...... My real-life body...... How's it going? ”

"Don't worry, I'm just making an analogy, it's not that you really become a brain in a vat, I have perfected the third-generation brain-computer interface technology ten years ago, and this technology is also achieved through nanorobots, which will not cause any irreversible effects on your brain and body. It's just that it will take at least half a month for your real body to recover, and now I'm afraid that you won't even be able to open your eyelids, so we can only meet in the virtual world. ”

After listening to Alice's words, Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, speaking of the virtual world, I almost forgot the wound on your face."

As soon as Alice's words fell, the pain on Lu Ze's face completely disappeared, as if he had not been injured from the beginning.

This incredible experience made him reach out and touch his face repeatedly.

"It's a virtual world, everything is fake! Of course, this also includes the wound on your face. Alice explained with a smile.

"It's amazing!"

Lu Ze admired from the bottom of his heart, then looked at the girl on the side and asked, "What about her?" Who is she? What about the thirty-six hours she spoke? ”

The girl also looked at Alice with curious eyes.

She was in this room from the moment she was conscious.

However, Lu Ze was the only one in the entire room except her, and he couldn't wake up all the time.

And although she knew a lot of things in her heart, she strangely didn't have any memory, and she didn't have a way to leave the room.

As she waited, she pondered the question of who she was, and came to realize the fact that she wasn't human, but she couldn't guess more than she could tell.

As the hands of the room clock turned round and round, the loneliness grew heavier and heavier for a long time, almost crushing her heart.

Now it's finally time to know the truth.

Although she has realized that she is not Alice's biological daughter, she is full of expectations for the answer that follows, regardless of the outcome.

A hesitant look appeared on Alice's face, she looked at the girl, then at Lu Ze, sighed softly, and finally spoke: "It's a bit troublesome to explain this clearly, first of all, as the father of the Star Spirit Network, you should be familiar with neural computers, right?" ”

Previously, when Alice mentioned the title of "Father of the Star Spirit Network", Lu Ze was very curious.

But then he was confused by the informative sentence, and he never thought about it.

Now that he heard Alice mention the Star Spirit Network again, and that it was connected to a neural computer, Lu Ze immediately thought of something he had described in detail in the novel.

"Star Spirit Network, are you talking about the earth neural network?" He couldn't help but ask.

At this time, the girl on the side suddenly widened her eyes, because when Lu Ze talked about the earth's neural network, relevant memories naturally appeared in her mind!

-- Earth's neural network.

-- English name: PlanetNeuralNetworks.

――Abbreviation: PNN.

-- Based on the original Internet of Things, sensors all over the world are used as sensory nerves, through which all human activities are tracked, and then all perceived information is transmitted to the central nervous system: a global network of neural computers.

-- Using digital mental models combined with unprecedented computing power to trace the cause and effect of all human behaviors!

-- To be able to allocate resources in the most efficient way, and then get rid of the restrictions of the market on the development of human civilization!

-- Finally, the signal is transmitted to the motor nerves to achieve control of cars and robots, and as large as maintaining the operation of society on behalf of the government!

"That's right, the Earth Neural Network is the predecessor of the Star Spirit Network. This can even be said to be a great project that has changed the entire human civilization! When it comes to the Earth's neural network, Alice can't help but praise it loudly.

"But it's too long to tell all this history clearly, and you can learn for yourself when you have the opportunity. And I'm not talking about it now, it's another technology based on the latest quantum neural computers—"

At this point, Alice paused, and her eyes began to twinkle inexplicably.

And then she said word by word—

"God! Pass through! Above! Transmit! ”

"Nervous ...... Upload? ”

"You can imagine that if the entire neural behavior of a person were copied into a computer, the ......"

Alice took a deep breath, and then as if she had made the greatest declaration in human history-

"In action and thoughts, this computer is this person!"

"I didn't expect that what could only appear in science fiction has become a reality......"

Lu Ze couldn't help but breathe violently.

He was completely infected by Alice's words.

"Human ...... Have you entered the age of eternal life? ”

Lu Ze muttered.

However, Alice shook her head, and the look on her face quickly dimmed.

"No, there are still several unsolved problems in neural upload technology, and one of the most difficult is the question of time."

"A matter of timing?"

"Every moment, there are countless thoughts coming out of the human brain, and even if you don't think about anything, in order to maintain the body's metabolism, the brain is still constantly going on with intense neural activity. Therefore, if you can't scan all the neural behavior in a split second, then the activity of the human brain itself will make a mess of the results during the scanning process......

Lu Ze nodded, and then suddenly interrupted Alice's explanation.

"I see, let me guess......"

This kind of conclusion, which can be reached by simple logical reasoning, is too pediatric for him.

"If you can't speed up the scan indefinitely, you can only slow down the activity of the brain indefinitely, right?" Lu Ze asked with squinted eyes.

Alice was stunned for a moment: "That's right." ”

"And then ......"

Lu Ze's tone began to worsen.

"I'm hibernating, and I've unknowingly become your experiment?"

Alice sighed again.

"I'm sorry, but it's my fault to experiment with you without your permission anyway. But ......"

Alice clenched her fists, looked at Lu Ze with her eyes, took a deep breath, and then said in an unprecedented firm tone-

"I'm ready for any consequences!"

"That's amazing."

Lu Ze stroked his hands and praised.

Although Alice should be blamed from Lu Ze's standpoint, Lu Ze is different from ordinary people after all, and Alice's firmness and dedication to science make him full of appreciation.

"Still, I wondered, why did you choose me?"

"Soon after you started hibernation, the Regeneration Group completely stopped the deep hibernation project due to the influence of public opinion at the time. That is, there will be no second hibernator other than you. ”

Lu Ze nodded clearly, the termination of the hibernation project was also something he expected.

After all, in that era, people still had to run for life, and in the eyes of many people, the future in a hundred years was almost equivalent to a paradise-like existence.

If hibernation technology does mature, it means that a small number of human beings can go to heaven, and these people may gain immortality through neural transmission or other technology, while the rest will have to stay and build heaven for them.

The only result is the collapse of the entire social order!

"Even so, it's easy to hibernate and resuscitate the human body with current technology, right?"

"No, it's not a technical problem......"

"Is that because of ethical issues?"

Alice couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes. For example, what is the relationship between you in the flesh and you in the computer? How will they get along? How is the property distributed? What is the relationship with parents and relatives? If you have a wife or husband, the problem becomes even more complicated. ”

When Alice talks about these issues, she can't help but feel depressed.

"If it weren't for the ethical issues that neural uploads might have, how could I be hindered in my research?"

"And it just so happens that after a hundred years of deep hibernation, my brain activity is almost zero, and I am alone, with no property and no relatives, even if I get another me, it will not lead to too serious consequences......"

Lu Ze said with a smile on his face.

"A perfect experimenter like me will never be able to find a second one in the world! Haha, I can't help but admire myself. ”

"Could it be...... Aren't you angry? ”

"Why should I be angry? On the contrary, just woke up from hibernation and participated in such a great experiment by chance......"

Lu Ze closed his eyes.

Open your arms.

It's like embracing the whole world.

"That's what I ...... in my heart"

"--The most interesting future!"
