Chapter 357: Consciousness Upload

Previous Chapter

When Jack heard this, he didn't insist on his idea.

Originally, he couldn't get in touch with Lian Yue, and he didn't know when he would appear, but he had already obtained the latest genetic optimizer from their family's research institute through his brother's channel.

This is the latest, the version that has already gone through clinical trials.

He even consulted King Meow, and the little guy hesitated for a while, but agreed.

If it hadn't appeared in a row today, King Meow would have been ready to receive the injection.

"What do you think?" He put the initiative in the hands of King Meow.

Lian Zhuo sat on the side and listened very energetically.

King Meow was also a little confused when he saw that Jack let him make up his own mind.

Go back and wait?

He wasn't sure if he would be able to wait until the day he matured to evolve.

Stay for injections?

He wasn't sure if it would actually work for him.

Suddenly, he was caught in a dilemma.

The little guy's round eyes turned back and forth, and the tangled little appearance made Al laugh a little when he saw it.

There was no seriousness with which he was thinking about big things.

With a sneer, the atmosphere of the whole scene relaxed.

"Okay, you can think slowly."

Even Yue didn't urge him, did it on the sofa, and began to get into today's topic.

"I'm coming back this time because I'm looking for you on business."

As soon as these words came out, Jack sat up in a precarious position.

"Do you have any research on consciousness upload technology?"

"Consciousness upload?"

Jack's eyes flickered slightly, and he leaned forward, as if he didn't quite understand why Lian Yue was suddenly interested in this.

Lian Yue understood his question and nodded solemnly.

"As far as I know, this technology appeared as early as 1,000 years ago."

When Lian Zhuo heard this, he immediately became interested.

The technology that existed a thousand years ago would certainly be able to solve his problem.

Jack glanced at his reaction before continuing, "It's just that this technology was hidden after being implemented for some ethical reasons, and now it is only left as a relic of some families. ”

Ethical reasons?

Lian Yue knew that there was something going on when she heard it.

Before she came, she had already searched with No. 1, but there was only a little information on the huge star network.

More than that, it's like a kind of speculation about the future of technology, and it's hard to distinguish between the real and the fake.

As soon as I heard what Jack meant, I had a guess about what was behind it.

It turns out that as early as 1,000 years ago, great human scientists decoded the electrical signal characteristics of the human brain on the basis of virtual reality technology, and developed EEG port technology to successfully connect human consciousness with the network.

And this is the prototype of the star network.

On this basis, technology has been further developed, and human beings have truly achieved "immortality" in data through electronic technology.

And this is also known as the "new era".

For a while, because of such technology, people can upload the consciousness of their dying relatives, so that they can live in the second world on the Internet, and no longer have to face the pain of eternal separation.

Death is no longer something people are afraid of.

Even if you listen to it, the brighter your eyes are, isn't this the future world depicted in the major science fiction dramas on Blue Star?

As Lianyue listened to his description of this technology, the more curious she became about the reasons why the government finally gave up on promoting this technology.

"In the beginning, the technology was really good."

"But suddenly one day, we began to find that the death rate of the whole society has soared, and the birth rate has also dropped significantly."

"Why?" Lian Zhuo asked.

Jack glanced at him, smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is also the reason why the federal government is puzzled, why does such a thing happen with such technology?" ”

"After the investigation of sociologists, it has been found that the more living people understand the second world through their relatives, the more desirable this kind of free and magical world is."

"All the pressures of work, reality, sickness, money are gone, and everyone there is free and happy."

"There are children who can regain the favor of their parents, where they can find their lost lovers, where they can reborn their lives that were lost in war, and there is nothing better in the so-called kingdom of heaven, where they can love each other forever."

"What's the point of being alive compared to them?" Lian Zhuo interjected.

"yes, what's the point of living like this?" Jack nodded, agreeing.

"As a result, more and more people are trying to upload their consciousness, and after experiencing such a world, they decide to end their lives early."

"Ahh Lian Yue and the two exclaimed at the same time.

They didn't expect such an epoch-making technology to bring such a result.

In this way, the surge in the number of deaths will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in the number of people.

And in a fast-growing society, the blow caused by such a huge demographic defect is undoubtedly huge.

Even with the help of artificial intelligence and robots, which can take on most of the functions of social operation, in the long run, the demise of human beings is not far away.

At that time, who will keep the Second World running?

I am afraid that with a simple data deletion command, tens of thousands of years of human history will instantly disappear and become a part of prehistoric legends.

Humanity has opened a Pandora's box of self-destruction.

As a result, the federal government amended the federal bill and promulgated the Second World restriction order, requiring that only humans who have died a normal death have the right to enter the Second World.

This decree stipulates that except for those who normally die due to objective reasons such as illness, accident, war, etc., they have the right to upload consciousness, and all people who give up their lives in various senses cannot be uploaded to the second world.

At the same time, the government will revise the rules of the second world, and their survival in the second world will no longer be arbitrary, but will be limited by the natural, social, and economic rules of the second world.

Completely turn the Second World into a continuation of the Federal World.

When this is no longer the utopia that everyone expects, will people still yearn for it?

But even so, the restraining order did not go as smoothly as expected.

Countless opponents have organized marches in the hope of preventing the enactment of the law, and even more radical and even suicidal protests have threatened the federal government to contain their consciousness.

The Federal Government is serious and uncompromising.

In this way, after a round of protests, the federal population plummeted by another 1 million, making the whole situation even more serious.

"At this time, a thunderous president appeared, forcibly cut off the connection between the second world and the star network, and included them on the local area network."

"The Second World has officially withdrawn from the stage of history."

"Even now, even if it still exists in a corner, few people choose to upload consciousness."

Seeing that Lian Zhuo and the two were obviously puzzled, Jack quickly added: "Now that we have reached an average life expectancy of 300 years through the development of medical technology, the life expectancy has been long enough for us. ”

"Who wants to live too long?"

Lian Zhuo pursed his lips, obviously a little unconvinced.

Lian Yue was also a little unconvinced, since the original world, she had heard too many stories of so-called immortality, eternal life, which seemed to be an eternal topic pursued by human beings.

How could anyone voluntarily give up eternal life?

"Yes! Yes! ”

King Meow uses his brain to help him convert his consciousness into speech, and he doesn't stop nodding.

In their world, the average life expectancy is only 80 years, and 300 years old is already a long way away for them, and it is hard for him to imagine that if their world can achieve eternal life, who would want to give it up.

"Eternal life?"

Al was a little envious, for a short-term breed like hers, the entire life cycle, plus the time from the birth of the petri dish to the end, was only a few years.

She couldn't imagine what it was like to have eternal life.

"Listen to what you say, this second world should still exist!" Lian Yue thought about it and spoke.

Jack shrugged: "Naturally! ”

"The second world has been hidden by the upper class society, controlling this entrance, and this is also the heritage of the family."

Lian Yue rolled her eyes, this is not nonsense!

Other civilians don't even have the right to know, not to mention the quota.

To civilians, to be dead is to be truly dead.

For the Maison, dying is a gateway to another world.

And behind every family with profound heritage, there are dozens of famous ancestors, and they are equivalent to the pillars and think tanks of the family.

Every time, when the family is in crisis, he gives advice behind him to avoid the risks hidden in the shadows for the family.

Over time, there will be iron-clad families and flowing commoners.

The channels for family promotion are also becoming more and more difficult.

"You Ferdinands, too!" Hit the nail on the head for months.

"Hmm." Jack nodded.

At first, he didn't know that in this second world, even the sons of a family like them did not know the rights before they had the rights of the head of the family.

Because, in the history of the family, there is not no fool who knows the existence of the second world, or to escape the pressure of the family, or to commit suicide.

And when he joined the Tianji Society, the interstellar secrets accumulated over the years by the House of Everything were no longer a secret in his eyes.

Knowing about the same, Lian Yue asked anxiously: "Then, does the Tianji Society or your family have a technical framework for the second world?" ”

Lianyue desperately wanted to get this technology.

"You, if you want to upload someone's consciousness, I think I can help you." Jack hesitated and said.

Lian Yue shook her head: "No, I don't want to upload it." ”

"I want to use this technology to store a part of my consciousness."

Jack: "What? ”

King Meow's mouth opened widely: Did I hear it wrong?

"Consciousness?" Jack was a little unconvinced.

With the technology that is now blocked, even today it is possible to consciously connect to the Star Network.

Those who are in the star network and their consciousness is attacked, there is no possibility that their consciousness will stay in the star network, and they are all brain dead without exception.

This is a rule that has been left in the star web for thousands of years.

Lian Zhuo began to hesitate, should he show his ability in front of him?

"Yes, Consciousness, I want to contain a lot of Consciousness."

"This ......"

"This second world is not controlled by one family alone...... If there are too many of them, there is no way I can help you, which will definitely attract the attention of other families. ”

Lian Yue shook her head again: "No, I don't want a second world. ”

"I just need this technology, tell me how to build it."

"Are you serious? If this is discovered, you'll probably end up in prison for the rest of your life. ”

As he spoke, Jack laughed.

Looking at Lian Yue's eyes shining, she is going to do a big job, if this is done, he doesn't have to do anything bad.

He couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Okay? Do you want to do it? ”

Jack: "! ”

As soon as he said it, he dialed Marlowe's communication.

"Help me open the family system permissions."

"It's all open, of course." He got straight to the point.

Then, he got a response, his fingers flew for a while, and he didn't know where to pull out a spare brain, took it out to scan the iris, and then his fingers flew.

This action made Lian Zhuo look a little dazed.

He couldn't see what Jack was doing, he just thought it was a smooth move.

Soon, half an hour passed.

"That's it!" Jack looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"What now?"

"Just set up a small server and purchase a brainwave interface, by the way, how much capacity do you want?" He asked.

Lian Yue really didn't answer, and turned her head to look at Lian Zhuo.

Lian Zhuo didn't react at once, and was stunned for a second.

"Uh, one, not three million."

Jack blinked.

"Three million?"

"Yes, three million, maybe more." Lian Zhuo said that he was a little unsure.

He didn't know how to count, he just knew that when he glanced at it, his mind was full of dense consciousness.

Jack nodded thoughtfully, then tapped his fingers and manipulated something on his brain.

"That's it! I've already set my stuff and I'll be here in half an hour. ”

"So fast!"

Lian Zhuo couldn't help but be surprised, but after thinking about it, he didn't feel strange about the high-tech products he saw today.

The interstellar world, it's all basic operations.

And just like that, everyone chatted again.

The things ordered on the Star Online have also arrived.

While Jack was tinkering, even Zhuo was curious, he also looked on the side, and asked a few words from time to time.

Jack was also very patient, and he didn't think his question was too simple, and answered a couple of sentences from time to time.

Back and forth, the two got along happily.

"That's it!"

After a long time, looking at the oven-sized thing in front of Jack, I couldn't help but be amazed.

"How is this going to be done?" Lian Yue asked.

Jack handed her something like a button battery.
