Chapter 173: Zola Must Die (400 Orders and Updates)
Eternal life?
Lao Wang smiled, it's not that simple.
Human beings are human not only because of the soul and spirit, but also because of the body.
The flesh is a boat, and the world travels on a boat.
If you don't even have a physical body, even if your consciousness is still there, is it still human?
Carbon-based organisms are not the same as mechanical life, and the flow of amino acids and electrons will directly cause different changes in the nature of life, which will affect the change of thinking patterns, which has long been proven in World of Warcraft.
By the time the Flesh Curse turned the earth spirits into dwarves and the mechanical gnomes into gnomes, they were already two completely different races.
The difference between the two is even greater than the difference between humans and monkeys.
The way of thinking, the way of life, the personality and emotions, and even the entire civilization will change essentially.
Attaining immortality through mechanical means will inevitably lead to a series of problems that cannot even be imagined for the time being, creating a new race.
When you can't breathe through your nose, you can't generate pleasure through touch, you can't be stimulated by your taste buds, you don't have hormones, you don't have sex hormones,
Are you still human when all human sensations cannot be enjoyed?
High technology may be able to imitate it to a certain extent, but the double helix structure of genes has endless possibilities, and no matter how fast a computer is, it cannot be fully simulated, and there are always people who say that mechanical life is higher than carbon-based life, but ......
Is that really the case?
If human beings want to achieve immortality in the true sense, they should still start with life itself.
Virtual technology may enrich a person's spiritual world, but if you really want to live a longer and healthier life, you should start with the human body itself, such as the Super Soldier program.
As for eternal life?
A false proposition in itself, a hypothesis that can never be proven.
"Dr. Zola...... Right here? ”
Fitz didn't quite understand: "Why here?" The equipment here is so old, even the data transfer is so slow! ”
Lao Wang had already thought of the answer: "Although Dr. Zora has mastered the consciousness transfer technology that is decades ahead of his time, he is limited by the level of science and technology, and in order to carry his consciousness, he needs a 200,000-foot-long database, and at that time, only this place in the whole world could do it. ”
Fitz retorted: "But later, technology developed and continued to advance, in fact, he could completely change a person's body." His eyes will be brighter, his ears will be sharper, his brain will be faster, and he can even change the world with the power of one person! ”
He certainly wasn't on Hydra's side.
But as a scientist, he really felt sorry for Dr. Zola.
This is a loss for humanity as a whole, a civilization that has lost a great opportunity for rapid progress.
"Because the head of the hydra is no longer him, but someone else."
"No one in a position would want someone to ride on their head, so from that time on, Dr. Zora has been confined to this place, and he will only turn on when he is needed, and at other times...... Presumably in a state of blackout all the time? ”
It didn't matter if there was no electricity, because the place was isolated, there was no radio, no internet cable, and no matter how great Dr. Zora was, he couldn't communicate with the outside world, let alone transfer his consciousness.
Subject to people.
This is the only explanation.
Otherwise, with Dr. Zola's ability, once he is free, once he enters the Internet, no one will be able to catch him.
In the eyes of Pierce or the other smugglers, Dr. Zola was just a tool, a tool to calculate the Zola's formula and execute the plan of insight, a dangerous tool.
And not people.
What they want is Zola, who has no ears, no eyes, no heart, and only a brain.
Whether it's Pierce or some other snakehead, they don't actually belong to Hydra, but want Hydra to belong to them.
Hydra has never been a united organization, everyone has their own ideas, their own ambitions.
Zola's ambitions are interrupted by a terminal illness, perpetuated by the consciousness store, and likewise imprisoned because of the consciousness store.
Of course, Lao Wang had known about Dr. Zola's existence for a long time.
But he always thought that as long as no one went, Dr. Zola would be trapped there.
It wasn't until not long ago that Dr. Zola's voice appeared on Sitwell's communicator, which gave him a new idea:
Pierce must have had some kind of pre-programmed to do something crucial if something crucial happened, such as his death, in some way that would give Dr. Zola a way to communicate with the outside world, such as ......
"There's data coming out here all the time?" Lao Wang asked.
"Well, it started uploading to one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s communications satellites about a few minutes ago, but the transmission speed is very slow and has been blocked." Fitz replied.
Lao Wang smiled.
That's right.
From the moment Pierce died, Dr. Zola was already on the path to freedom.
But it's a pity that the equipment here is too old, and even if there is satellite communication, the data transmission speed is still too slow, and it takes a long time to transfer consciousness to other places.
The equipment designed by Fitz and Tony is very expensive and advanced, and it takes more than ten hours to complete the brain mapping and memory upload of Whitehall.
Dr. Zola has a larger memory than Whitehall.
Although there is no brain mapping step, the transfer of consciousness is actually the upload of memories, but even then, it is likely to take longer because of the slower transmission speed.
Of course, he could completely discard a part of his memory and upload only the most important part, but it would also take time, tens of minutes or hours.
Zora would have had a chance to be free and become the true master of Hydra.
However, he didn't expect Lao Wang to come so quickly.
Unexpectedly, Lao Wang didn't go to him at all, and he was not interested in chatting with him, so he cut off the power directly.
The bottom of the kettle is drawn.
Completely cut off his hope of escape.
"I'll leave it to you."
Lao Wang looked at Skye and Fitz: "It should be useful, right?" ”
"It works, of course it works!"
Fitz's eyes lit up, and his excited hand didn't know where to put it, and stopped in mid-air: "As long as the entire database is thoroughly studied and supported by modern technology, I can create a better consciousness transfer device and allow human beings to achieve immortality in a virtual sense!" ”
"And it will be helpful in studying the 'framework'."
"It's even helpful for studying the 'quantum brain'!"
"Boss, I have a proposal! Save the entire database and wait until the Quantum Brain is made, upload the database to the Quantum Brain, equip it with a robotic body, and Dr. Zola will be resurrected. With Dr. Zola, we ......"
"We have one more hidden danger."
Lao Wang said lightly: "Fitz, your thoughts are dangerous, and Zora is more dangerous than you think." ”
“…… All right. Fitz hung his head.
Lao Wang's face was expressionless, and this was what he was worried about.
Scientists are amazing, but many scientists have a fatal flaw:
The thirst for knowledge and truth will cause them to break through the bottom line again and again, and make mistakes in their assessment of danger.
The prime example of this is Tony.
The birth of Ultron was not an accident, it was almost an inevitability of human civilization.
As long as Zola exists, he is a time bomb that no one knows when it will explode.
"The information in the database can be used, but it has to be separated. Cut off the connection with each other, upload to different databases, set the highest permissions, including you, no one can access at the same time, only one by one. ”
Lao Wang was very serious: "Remember? ”
"Uh...... Got it, boss. Fitz nodded.
"Alright, so be it."
Lao Wang thought for a while, and then looked at Skye: "After you blocked the signal, the data sent by Zora was intercepted, right?" Is it cracked? ”
