Chapter 8: Intelligent Creatures!
That being the case, wisdom may be thought to be derived from understanding, and that the two complement each other.
First there is a certain understanding, and then there is wisdom, because there is wisdom, and then the understanding is improved, so that the wisdom is further improved.
"Then, if you want to make an intelligent creature, you must first give it a certain understanding. Luo Xiaojiang muttered to himself.
It should be possible to make animals have understanding.
It is said that in the 20th century, there was a horse that could calculate, read, and spell, and was called the "Eins" of horses.
As long as people give some arithmetic problem, it will be able to give the answer by the sound of hooves. At the time, people thought it was incredible.
But then, it turns out that it's just capturing the trainer's subtle gaze and casual movements, rather than really calculating as the trainer thinks.
It was intelligent and good at catching clues that were imperceptible to humans, but it was not the kind of intelligence that people thought at the time.
What's more remarkable is that the trainer himself did not intentionally cheat in the process.
He didn't realize that it was his look that gave the animal a hint.
It's different from commanding a dog, it's not like you give the order and it does it.
Rather, it captures these messages through subtle changes in expression that people themselves are not aware of, and thus derives those answers.
Maybe it's because the horse has a certain amount of understanding, but it hasn't developed wisdom yet.
So it can get the answer to the arithmetic problem through the expression of the owner, not the calculation of its own brain.
This event may prove that an animal's comprehension can be developed through training.
"Even if I can train an animal to understand, it's still a huge challenge to make it intelligent. ”
Luo Xiaojiang frowned slightly: "If any animal can have wisdom, can humans still be like now?"
In fact, there have been examples of experts who have long tried to train animals scientifically and want to make them intelligent.
In the early seventies of the nineteenth century, psychologists at STF University conducted experiments on the learning ability and information exchange of a gorilla named "Koko".
In 6 years, Koko mastered 375 sign words (a sign language used by deaf people in the United States) and was able to answer questions posed in sign or spoken language.
At the same time, it expresses its thoughts and "tells" its feelings.
Coincidentally.
African grey parrots can learn to distinguish objects by their different colors, shapes, and other characteristics, and then answer in English.
But can these be counted as animals possessing intelligence?
The answer is no.
These can only be said to allow animals to have their own consciousness. You can distinguish between external objects and don't just do things by instinct.
It cannot be said that animals have intelligence, the ability to understand and process things quickly, flexibly and correctly.
"Since scientists can't train animals to be intelligent. Then I obviously can't do it, and I can't do it. ”
Luo Xiaojiang was a little frustrated, feeling that he could not accomplish the goal of creating intelligent creatures.
yes, that's simply not possible.
Where can anyone train intelligent beings?
Wait a minute!
"Training? I'm obviously the creator, why should I train animals, I just create them?"
"I can control a world at any time, why do I need to bother with that method?!"
Walking out of the dead end of thinking, Luo Xiaojiang suddenly felt enlightened.
Indeed, no one in real life can do it, through training to make an animal intelligent.
But that doesn't mean that Luo Xiaojiang can't create intelligent creatures in a small world!
......
......
The process of creating intelligent creatures is far more difficult than Luo Xiaojiang imagined.
At first, Luo Xiaojiang added genes at will through the system, relying on his own imagination to create intelligent creatures.
After failing again and again, Luo Xiaojiang realized that the genetic sequence of the organism must be reasonable.
Otherwise, what is created is a product of failure, a creature without any ability to survive.
Luo Xiaojiang also knew that he did not have the ability to independently complete the genetic coding of organisms, so he decided to adopt gene transplantation to create intelligent organisms.
The only intelligent beings known so far are human beings.
Therefore, he first listed the human genetic template separately, and then selected some animals from the small world, and integrated the human gene into their genes.
After a few tosses, there is finally a mammal that looks like a mouse, which can well integrate human genes.
Luo Xiaojiang called the species obtained after fusion as rat people.
Of course, it is still an ordinary animal and has no intelligence.
Because wisdom is an accumulation, not a mutation. It's not that it has human genes and can have the same intelligence as humans all of a sudden.
It may take a long time for it to develop its own wisdom.
This time may be tens of thousands of years, or even millions of years.
But fortunately, Luo Xiaojiang can control the flow of time in this world, so that one day in the outside world is equivalent to 10,000 years in the small world.
The wait, perhaps, is not long.
Early the next morning.
As soon as Luo Xiaojiang got out of bed, the first thing he did was to check the survival of the rat people.
At this time, the rat man has basically said goodbye to the previous mouse image.
The tail is completely degraded and gone, and it is basically walking upright with its lower limbs, freeing its upper limbs.
It's just that it's still hairy, and it doesn't look like a human, but more like an orangutan walking upright.
They mostly live in flocks in the mountains and forests, where they live by picking wild fruits from trees, and sometimes they organize together to hunt larger wild animals.
Of course, if they encounter one of those land lords, they will send a signal to their companions to take refuge.
Even, they have their own language and culture, although it is still relatively rudimentary.
All kinds of signs, all indicate.
They have their own intelligence, and they are no longer ordinary animals who rely on instinct to do things.
Rather, like humans, they belong to the higher animals.
It is an intelligent creature that can understand and process things quickly, flexibly, and correctly!
It's just that they don't seem to have a good life with wisdom.
Because their bodies are so weak, the frail and sickly physical nature of humans makes it difficult for them to gain a foothold in this primeval forest.
Powerful prehistoric creatures are not something they are qualified to contend with.
Long-term inbreeding has made most of their offspring deformed, and even some tribes have lost their fertility because of too serious inbreeding.
The pressure from all sides compresses their living space little by little.
They are facing a huge existential crisis!
