“…… I spent ten years studying the patterns of neural activity in the brain, and although I didn't find a way to improve human intelligence, I succeeded in converting digital signals into neural information, which is the basis of the third generation of brain-computer interfaces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After that, I started trying to simulate the human brain with a computer, and it took another ten years before I had neural uploading technology. ”

Alice said and looked at Lu Ze and Lu Li with apologetic eyes.

"You all know what happened later, in order to test my theory, I secretly used you who were still hibernation to conduct neural upload experiments......"

Lu Li said suddenly: "Alice, neither Lu Ze nor I blame you, it was you who gave me life, and you also helped Lu Ze regain consciousness, so we are all grateful to you." ”

"That's right!"

Lu Ze nodded, then smiled at Alice and said, "So you don't have to apologize for this incident in the future." Speaking of which, I actually admire you very much, whether it's because of dreams or obsessions, isn't it a great thing that you can persist for 20 years for an illusory goal? How many people in the world can do that? I'm sure you'll make it! ”

"Well, you can do it!"

Lu Li also raised his hand to cheer Alice on.

"Thank you."

Alice smiled, "Let's not talk about that for now, let's get back to the previous topic." ”

"Okay." Lu Ze and Lu Li nodded in unison.

So Yang Hai continued: "As I said earlier, this is an era of dreams, and for many people, dreams are actually similar to beliefs. Therefore, if you want to get people's support at the Star Spirit Network Conference, you have to start with your dreams. First of all, we have to get the support of the largest communities. ”

"The largest community? There are 600 million people in a single 'garden', is there a larger community? Lu Ze asked curiously.

"Yes, if you compare the number of people, we have 800 million people in the 'Regeneration Group', which is more than the 'Garden', and on top of that, there are two larger communities, namely the 'Pioneer House' and the 'Dream Tower'......"

"Wait!" Lu Ze suddenly interrupted Yang Hai's words.

"If the people of the 'Regeneration Group' have dreams of equality, what about the people of the 'Garden'? What kind of dreams do they have? ”

Yang Hai replied: "The dream of the 'garden' community is to regenerate the earth. ”

"Let the earth be reborn?" Lu Ze wondered.

"You should know how much damage humans did to the Earth's environment before the advent of controlled fusion. Many people want to be able to restore the earth's ecology and work hard to achieve this. This is the common dream of those who join the Garden. ”

"It's a realistic dream."

Lu Ze nodded, and then asked again, "However, you said before that the 600 million people of the 'Garden' community will inevitably oppose us in the Star Spirit Network Conference, why is that?" ”

At this time, Alice explained on the side: "According to my sister's point of view, in the past, human beings usually regarded nature as an enemy against human interests, so human beings created machines to fight against nature, and the development process of human civilization is the process of human beings versus nature......"

"That's true." Lu Ze thought for a while.

From the very beginning, in order to better survive in nature, human civilization invented tools and weapons, which is actually a kind of confrontation with nature.

Then from gathering and hunting to growing and domesticating livestock, it was human beings who tried to change the difficulty of obtaining food from nature for their own reproduction and survival. After this, humans had access to a stable source of food and no longer had to rely on nature's handouts.

After having a stable source of food, human beings began to think about the changes in nature, whether it is mythology or science, it is human beings who are trying to explain various phenomena in nature with their own thinking, in fact, it is also a process of fighting against nature.

Since then, human beings have further developed, from the agricultural age to the industrial revolution to the information age, and any progress is actually transforming the earth's natural environment into a more suitable human life.

Alice continued: "But the truth is that nature has never been altered by humans. Maybe we can cut down a forest in a very short time, but then there is nothing we can do in the face of the desertification of the land. But deserts are natural, just as forests are natural. When we show that the large-scale construction of solar energy equipment on the earth will cause devastating damage to the earth's ecological environment, in fact, we have not caused damage to nature, what we are really destroying is the environment on which we humans depend, and nature is still nature. ”

"So, under the influence of my sister's thoughts, the true dream of the 'garden' is not just to regenerate the earth, but to make humanity change its own perception and realize that humans cannot have any unnatural influence on nature. The more we try to align nature with our human purposes, the more we are subject to nature's indifference, and the more vulnerable we are to nature's invisible forces. The more force we exert on nature, the more powerless we become in front of it! ”

"Makes sense." Lu Ze nodded again.

"Therefore, the people of the 'Garden' believe that we humans cannot change nature, only ourselves, and they advocate a new way of looking at the relationship between man and nature. They respect the spontaneity of nature and believe that life is life because of its spontaneity. In their eyes, life cannot be given, but can only be discovered, and perhaps with the development of human technology, creatures can be created out of thin air, but these creatures created by humans are not real life, but only machines. ”

Yang Hai nodded and said, "That's right, that's why I said that the 'Garden' will definitely oppose us, because according to the 'Garden's point of view, an existence like Lu Li, even if it has a mind that is completely equivalent to that of a human being, is just a machine." How could she be given the identity of a human being? In the same way, neural uploading is also the object of their opposition. If one day many people use neural upload technology to upload their consciousness to computers, the 'garden' will at best agree to give them the same status and rights as humans, and will not consider them human. ”

"Fortunately, I have succeeded in convincing Sarah, otherwise in this meeting of the Star Spirit Network, we would have to settle for the next best thing, that is, only let Lu Li obtain the rights and status equivalent to human beings instead of the real human identity."

"That'...... I really am...... Machine? At this time, Lu Li suddenly asked with some hesitation.
