Chapter 18: Free Consciousness (3)

"Do you think people are free-willed?"

After conducting a complicated examination of Gu Chengzi, Mo Qingyan asked me, Lao Xu, and Fu Hui who were present such a question. What does this mean? The question he asked made all of us present a little confused, what kind of medicine is Mo Qingyan selling in this gourd?

"Mo Qingyan, say it quickly. Fu Yuan ordered Mo Qingyan to hurry up.

"That's right, Mo Qingyan, don't beat around the bush, say it quickly. What is the situation in the city?" Lao Xu was also very anxious on the side.

"Okay...... Gu Chengzi's situation is much more complicated than we imagined......"

Mo Qingyan rolled up his sleeves, took a deep breath, and slowly explained to us:

We have always believed that human beings have a free consciousness, and what they want to do and what they don't want to do are all based on their own thoughts, and these thoughts are invisible, unpredictable, unpredictable, and beyond the control of others. Compared to machines, they are often controlled by a bunch of visible codes, you call it to go east and it doesn't go west, you tell it to do one thing and it doesn't dare to do a second thing. So, relatively speaking, humans seem to be freer than machines.

However, in fact, there are still some laws and manipulatives in human behavior and consciousness. In our heads, there are countless neurons, these neurons are all over our brain, each neuron is interconnected, they transmit information by generating a certain frequency of electrical pulses, and the layers of these information will be transmitted to the target place, some may only stay in your head, some may be transmitted to your eyes, mouth, and some may be your hands and feet, so that our thoughts and actions are constituted.

In the beginning, we thought that because each person has a unique location and frequency of generating pulses, and the process of transmitting information is complex, the information in the human head is extremely large, much more complex than the coding of these machines, and it is extremely difficult to replicate this information. However, through a series of studies, the results of the research did hit me hard. That is, we humans are actually much simpler than these machines.

If we want to copy A's consciousness, we don't need to copy all the information in A's head, after all, this process is too difficult, we just need to find the location of the most important neuronal cells in his head, which is the place where he first generated consciousness and self-knowledge. Then we just need to probe the frequency of the information he produces and build a set of almost identical neuronal cells through our mechanical equipment. Next, we transplant the neuronal cells into B's head, and we make sure that the neurons are positioned in B's head in a similar position to A's. Then another system of neural responses will be created in B's head, and by silently continuing to grow, another personality will appear in B, and this personality will have the same thoughts and behaviors as A. I checked it just now, and Gu Chengzi does have three sets of nervous systems in his head, so it seems that laziness copied the consciousness of the other two people and then transplanted it into Gu Chengzi's head. The two people that the little girl Qiuqiong saw before were the consciousness of the other two people.

"I have a question, is it a bit of a long way to be lazy to do this, he can directly erase Gu Chengzi's consciousness, this is safer, why bother to let other people's consciousness into it. I asked weakly.

"Theoretically, yes, but the human body seems to have a very magical power, and until now, I haven't figured out what it is. ”

"What magical power?"

"Rejection is something that everyone has heard of, and there is rejection in the human body, even if another set of neuronal cells is perfect, even if we use the DNA of B to construct it. However, if B's original consciousness is erased, then it will still be discovered by B's immune system and disappear, but we find that as long as B's own divine consciousness exists, that is, B's own nervous system, the other consciousness will survive. Regardless of whether B's own consciousness is active or has been dormant for a long time, the other consciousness can be maintained, and I still don't know why. ”

"You...... How do you know this?" asked Fleur solemnly.

"Captain...... Before the big war, Lazy came over a few times to ask me questions about the nervous system, and I thought it was funny, so I helped him. ”

"You!sure enough!" Fu Rui seemed to guess why Mo Qingyan did these research.

"Captain...... Don't be impulsive. I...... I didn't know laziness could do this!

"Hmph!

"I did help Lazy at first, because as you all know, Lazy rarely studies humans themselves, and he has always been loyal to the study of machinery, so when he came to me, I was indeed a little surprised, so I helped him, I really didn't expect him to be used on Gu Chengzi. According to what the little girl said, if these two people are lazy to arrange to spy on Gu Chengzi, I think it is necessary for us to cheer up, after all, we don't know what the real purpose of these two people is. ”

"Do you have a way to pull the other two out of consciousness?" Fleur asked earnestly.

"Uh...... If the consciousness of these two people was implanted shortly after we left the town, there was a high probability that it would be impossible to remove it, for such a long time, these three sets of nervous systems had been mixed together, and forcibly taking out the remaining two would only hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred, and even make Gu Chengzi lose his consciousness and pass out forever and become a vegetative person. ”

"Can that bring the consciousness of the other two back to their bodies? I heard Ali say that their bodies were in lazy hands, in a big tube. ”

"Put it back into your body...... The best hypothesis is that laziness simply replicates the consciousness of these two people, and that what is in the bodies of those two people is really their original consciousness. But...... If laziness can really take out a person's consciousness completely, and with such precision, it's so difficult. ”

"What's so hard?"

"Captain, what do you think, if Laziness really completely took out the consciousness of those two people and put them into Gu Chengzi's body, then we will remove the consciousness of these two people...... That's ......"

"That's it...... ...... we 'killed' those two people?"

"Hmm. That's right, so to speak. If we really remove it, then there is no possibility of the existence of consciousness in the physical bodies of the two people, and it is undoubtedly no different from death. ”

"Well, is there anything else that can be done?" asked Fleur disappointed.

"There is still a ...... way," Mo Qingyan replied cautiously after thinking about it.

"What's the solution?"

"That depends on Gu Chengzi's own ability, if he can let him and the two consciousnesses permanently fall silent in his own consciousness world or choose to coexist with them, the damage to Gu Chengzi can be minimized, and it is also beneficial to us. ”

After a whole afternoon, in the end, we found that for a situation like Gu Chengzi, we can really describe it as helpless, and in the end, it was still on his own, a person who was already unconscious. Lao Xu and Mo Qingyan's faces were covered with gloomy clouds, and although Fu Hui was expressionless, from her slightly furrowed brows, I could feel that she was not feeling comfortable in her heart. Mo Qingyan got up and walked around the room, and suddenly patted his head, as if he thought of something, and Fu Yuan became nervous.

"That's right! We can slightly stimulate Gu Chengzi's consciousness, just stimulate it slightly, and there will be no side effects. ”

"How do you want to be excited?"

"We only need to let Gu Chengzi suffer some mental impact when he is awake, and when his nervous reaction is the most intense, we can capture the pulse frequency of his head. ”

"Why capture his pulse frequency?"

"Then we can keep his own nervous system active by constantly feeding his pulse frequency! The other two people will not have a chance to appear! And in the world of consciousness, this information is like a flood, which may slowly swallow up the consciousness of the other two people!"

"But...... I'm not pouring cold water on you. When will Gu Chengzi be sober now? I have taken care of him for so many days, and I have never seen when he is sober. ”

......

......

"So...... There's nothing you can do to keep him awake!"

"Ahem, Lao Xu, do you have a way?" Mo Qingyan poked Lao Xu beside him.

"I? I...... Not...... No, I don't. Lao Xu hurriedly shook his hand and took two steps back.

"Alas...... Here's how to do it. ”

"I have a way, you guys go out first. Fleur stood up at this time, said with confidence, and motioned for us to go out and avoid it first.

"Captain, are you ...... Do you have a solution?"

"Well, get out of here. ”

"Good...... All right. Let's go out first. ”

Just as we were feeling more and more melancholy, Fleur calmly told us that she had her own way. To tell the truth, her calm and cold expression made my heart feel deeply uneasy more than the nervousness of ordinary people in this situation. Me, Mo Qingyan and Lao Xu walked outside the room, Fleur walked to the door and motioned for us to go farther, and when we had reached a place five meters away from the room, Fleur was still afraid that we would eavesdrop, so she asked us to go a little farther, and when we walked far enough to really hear nothing, she closed the door with confidence.

The three of us stood in the hallway like three pillars, looking at each other awkwardly, as if we had been kicked out all of a sudden, and we couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Do you know what Sister Fluff can do?"

"I don't know! Old Xu, do you know?"

"I don't know!"

"Sister Fluff hated him so much before, it won't be anything, right?"

"That's not going to happen, although the captain said that she hated the city, she still thought about it in her heart. ”

"You, don't look at her always pulling her face, looking like she doesn't care about anything, in fact, she knows everything in her heart. ”

"I hope she can really bring Gu Chengzi to his senses, and I hope they can reconcile soon. The two of them...... Alas, creation makes people!"

"It's all to blame on that laziness, if I see him, I'm going to screw his head off in minutes!"

"Yo, I didn't see it, the little girl's family is so jealous and hateful!"

"Haha, don't say it, sometimes I feel like she's just like us, maybe she's already an old woman. Ha ha. ”

"Cut, the old lady is young and energetic! She is still an old woman! She wants to die!

The three of us were playing and walking, and before we knew it, we had already reached the cafeteria. My stomach couldn't help but make a "gurgling" sound, Mo Qingyan and Lao Xu turned their heads one after another, stared at my stomach, and put on a look of disbelief, and then the two began to bombard me in turn.

"Poof, hahahaha, Xiao Qiong, are you hungry again?"

"I ...... I didn't!"

"Yo, this can't be done, you haven't seen me for so many days, is it a bad appetite?"

"You're less smelly and beautiful, I'm not hungry at all!

"Hahaha, don't use it hard, we have enough for you to eat!"

"Hey, what do you mean!"

"It's no problem to eat a pig!hahahaha!"

"Lao Xu, how far can you give me, how far can you!"

"Slightly, sooner or later you will become a pig!"

"Ahh

"Gollum...... Ding......"

"it...... Probably not!"

"Hahahaha, Xiao Qiong, you can fool us, but you can't fool the machine! ”

Just as I was trying my best to defend myself, my stomach actually betrayed me, and it made a "grunt" sound again, and the machinery of the canteen was even more accurate, and the sound of "ding" resounded throughout the canteen. I stared at the machinery in the cafeteria in a daze, and I couldn't argue, can the machinery here really read what we were thinking about and what we needed? I'm really starting to hate such machines!

I was very reluctant to be pushed by Mo Qingyan and Lao Xu to get the food, according to the two of them, there are rules in the canteen here, if the meal is made, it must be because you want to eat it, so if you don't take it or throw it away directly, the machine will naturally punish you, you may not be able to eat for a few days, or you may not sleep well, in short, one of the rules here is that you must not waste food. I looked at the food on the plate, and my appetite gradually came up, although Mo Qingyan and Lao Xu were still laughing at me, I was indeed a little hungry, and the food was in front of me, so naturally I also ate. Maybe Mo Qingyan is right, without them, the food is tasteless, and this meal I felt the warmth of those hot meals to people's stomachs again.

At this moment, Fleur came to the dining hall, and the three of us looked at her with wide eyes, not expecting her to come out so soon. None of us dared to speak first, and waited in silence for Flarrow to speak. I saw her cross her waist, approaching us step by step, my mouth did not listen to me, I couldn't close my mouth and still held a vegetable in my mouth, and the three of us looked at her more and more nervously.

"What are you doing in a daze? Don't you want to ask?"

"Ahh......hh What do you want to ask?" asked Lao Xu with a wink.

"You're broken, lonely fingers!"

"Ha, Xiaoqiong, what are you talking about!

"I said, you are stupid, Gu Chengzi!"

"Oh~ohoh!

"Hmm...... It's considered sober, but it's hard to say whether he can recover his memory. ”

"Okay, I'll go over and have a look. Mo Qingyan stood up and walked towards the door of the cafeteria.

"Well, Lao Mo, Lao Xu, you two go quickly. There was a slight tiredness in Fleur's eyes.

"Ah, I'm going too?" exclaimed Lao Xu incredulously.

"Oh, you just come here!" Mo Qingyan shook his head and pulled Lao Xu out.

Mo Qingyan and Lao Xu rushed out without stopping, leaving me and Fleur in the cafeteria, and Fleur sat down opposite me. Her previous cold and arrogant expression suddenly collapsed, and her eyes gradually showed tiredness and sadness.

"Sister Fleur, are you alright?"

"Sister Joan, let me be honest with you, I'm not good at all. My heart is so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable. ”

"It's okay, just tell me if you have anything to say. ”

"My heart is so tired, brother......"

"Gu Chengzi, his state is still not good, he has been like this for several days. ”

"I sometimes feel like he's completely changed...... It feels like he's not the brother I know anymore. ”
