Chapter 114: The whole world is drunk, but I am awake
It was dark and late at night, and the moon was bright and the stars were scarce.
Chen Feng stood on the balcony of his personal suite, looking at the sky and wandering in the sky.
Drip, drip, drip.
The prompt sounded, and the owner of a room downstairs returned.
Chen Feng picked up the communicator, "Brother Tiger, are you there?" ”
Ding Hu's slightly tired voice came, "Something?" ”
"Let's talk?"
"I'll come over here."
Three minutes later, Ding Hu appeared on Chen Feng's balcony, cocked Erlang's legs, held a goblet, and commented, "Tsk, the captain's treatment is good, and the drinks are fresher than mine." ”
"Brother Tiger, don't be joking, you just got out on a mission?"
Chen Feng found several red marks on Ding Hu's face, which were the traces left by the atomic therapy machine shortly after the deep wound was repaired.
"Yes, there was a collapse in the lower level of Titan's collection station, and the equipment was damaged, so I brought a maintenance team over."
"What is on your face?"
"It collapsed again while we were setting up the equipment."
Chen Feng was slightly shocked, "Huh? Are there any casualties? ”
"Three comrades-in-arms were sacrificed, but fortunately, the final mission was successfully completed."
Chen Feng was silent for a long time.
"Brother Tiger, are you sad when you see your comrades sacrificed?"
"Why be sad? You don't even know how important that collection station is. It is an honor to die in a major mission, and I will not grieve the sacrifice of my comrades, but only be proud of them. I also don't want others to have any psychological ups and downs because of me when I sacrifice myself in the future, which will affect my thinking and judgment. ”
"But aren't they still dead? Why are you so cold-blooded? ”
Ding Hu pondered for a few seconds, "I wanted to save them at that time." I used my body to block the collapsed ice. But the engineering armor they wore was not as strong as the Starblade armor, and they still died. If I could, I'd rather die for them. I'm not cold-blooded, I just know I shouldn't be sad. ”
Chen Feng pondered Ding Hu's words for a long time.
"I always live so rationally, but it's a bit like a human, like a robot."
Ding Hu asked rhetorically, "How do you say it?" ”
"Let's start with the definition of living things. Brother Tiger: Do you know the structure of E. coli phage? ”
Chen Feng said, asking the intelligent assistant Weiwei to project the three-dimensional structure of the phage.
Ding Hu had obviously not paid attention to such primitive knowledge before, and this was the first time he saw it, and he suddenly felt relish.
Chen Feng pointed to the phage projection and asked, "This is not like the lunar module used by humans when they first landed on the moon?" ”
Ding Hu nodded, "It's quite similar, it's really a very delicate biological structure, and nature is incredible." ”
"Do you think it's a creature or a machine?"
Ding Hu thought for a moment, "In a sense, it's mechanical." ”
Chen Feng asked again, "But bacteriophages also have DNA." ”
Ding Hu thought for a moment, "Okay, that's a living thing, but through artificial synthesis, we can now directly create a bacteriophage." ”
Chen Feng smiled, "So isn't what you're talking about a paradox?" We can synthesize, but nature also synthesizes. Is it a machine or a life? ”
Ding Hu was stunned by Chen Feng's question and was silent.
Chen Feng took a deep breath, "Actually, we humans are just ten million times more complex than bacteriophages. Our essence is the same. ”
Ding Hu decisively denied, "But so far, it is still not possible to directly produce human beings with atomic instruments." ”
Chen Feng said, "But that's just now, and another thousand years have passed?" Do you think it may not? ”
Ding Hu thought for five minutes, "Maybe?" ”
Chen Feng didn't answer him again, only said: "Theoretically, as long as we can make atoms point-to-point, then we should be able to make human beings from scratch point-to-point." But why did the researchers abandon this study, and all the theoretical extrapolations point to one answer, that is, it can never be done, because the difficulty factor is infinite. ”
Ding Hu was surprised, "Have you also been to see it?" ”
"Yes, I've read all the relevant articles. Guess what's the hard part of what the researchers say? Isn't the essence of the human body a combination of various organic molecules? Why is the difficulty factor infinite? ”
Ding Hu asked Chen Feng confused.
"Brother Tiger, I'll tell you the answer. Because we can copy the body, but we can't copy the mind, we can't copy the feelings. Thinking and feelings are complex to a certain extent, that is, infinitely complex things, and can even contain the entire universe, so it can never be artificially synthesized. We can synthesize a human body, but it's just an empty shell. He can fit a chip into his shell and be induced by bioelectricity to behave exactly like a real person, but he's really not alone. ”
What Chen Feng said was a study done by a group of scientists as early as two hundred years ago, and the papers were publicly available and were in junior high school tutorials.
Of course, since the study failed several times, the government has halted the project.
Although the project failed and violated the ethics of the program, it did provide an important scientific reference.
Ding Hu twisted his eyebrows and looked at Chen Feng, "What do you want to say?" ”
"I want to say that when friends, brothers, comrades-in-arms, and relatives die, we should be sad. Because affection is a necessity for us. Without the abundance of feelings, human beings would no longer be human beings, but machines. I even think that bacteriophages, for example, or those animals and plants that can only act according to biological instincts, and cannot act against instincts through emotional judgment, are not life! ”
"These are machines made by nature. The difference between the machines of nature and the machines made by us is nothing more than that the machines created by the laws of the universe and nature are more sophisticated, and the machines created by humans have not yet reached that precision, and there is no essential difference. ”
"It is only when the birth of rich emotions is that an organism is detached from the realm of machines. As for us human beings, the reason why we are an important race living in the universe, and the reason why we want to continue to exist is not our physical body, but the minds of all human beings! With thinking and feelings, we are qualified to see ourselves as true civilizations! ”
"Without emotion, what is the difference between us and those rare animals and plants that have become extinct in the long course of history? Zooming in to the universe, we humans are nothing more than a pitifully extinct rare species, precious machines. ”
"The reason why we refuse to give up, the reason why we still want to continue to live, the reason why there have been people who have been willing to ride on a spaceship full of gene pools to hit the invader barrier outside the solar system, trying to break out and continue the race. Even if there is no hope at all, everyone is still following suit. It's because our feelings tell us that we don't want to be finished! ”
"Even if it is sacrifice, it is the deepest feeling that lurks in the hearts of all people, so that we are willing to sacrifice, not bullshit logic! It is really strictly in accordance with logic, no one wants to die! Because survival is the most fundamental and bottom-level logic! Our feelings have been triumphing over logic, but why can't you wake up? ”
"Brother Tiger, wake up! Logic is indeed easy to use, but no matter how perfect the logic is, it cannot completely replace the need for emotion. You are like this, General Tang is like this, everyone is like this. Don't you really realize that something is wrong? ”
Chen Feng grabbed Ding Hu's shoulders and shook violently.
"Your comrade-in-arms has just died! You tried your life to save others, and you didn't save them! You should be sad, even if you are strong enough not to shed tears, but you can at least make a sad face for me! ”
Time has passed for a long time, as if it stood still.
Chen Feng almost thought he had succeeded.
But Ding Humu shook his head, "I can make a sad expression, but that is still my rational judgment, not an emotion-driven action." I still don't quite understand what you mean. ”
Chen Feng turned his head to look at the single-family villa that belonged to Tang Tianxin, the base commander.
He knew she had heard what she had said.
Chen Feng's words were originally meant to be said to everyone.
It's just a pity that no one seems to understand.
The night sky was still quiet, save for the sound of shuttles breaking through the air in the distance.
Chen Feng waved his hand, "Brother Hu, go and rest, I'm tired, and you're tired." ”
It had been a long time since he had felt so lonely.
This is the situation he once dreamed of, because he himself was the first player who didn't want to have anything to do with everyone, and just wanted to travel back in time to live a thousand years later.
But now he hated it.
This place is terrible.
Ding Hu nodded, "Then I'll go." ”
"Let's go, let's go."
"Actually, I forgot to mention one thing, among the technicians who died, Liu Weiwei was my match, my son's mother. I've watched movies and TV in the past, and in this case, it seems like my heart should be in pain, but I just can't feel it. ”
Ding Hu said, shaking his head and turning to leave.
Chen Feng is like falling into an ice cave.
It was the heaviest blow he had ever received since he worked so hard.
It almost made him collapse on the spot.
But he finally adjusted back after half an hour.
Because he remembered the last last last moment, which tear Tang Tianxin shed.
The crystal tears floating in the air suddenly became the firmest fulcrum in his heart.
According to the intensity of this infiltration, even if the human race perishes, even if Tang Tianxin finds that her little hobby is a pathetic conspiracy, she finally realizes that she has been used, she can feel pain, regret, frustration and despair, but she should not shed tears.
Her tears proved that in that moment, the basic human emotions in her body were revived, and the passive sleeping amygdala was rejuvenated.
There are two possibilities.
At that moment, the latent psychological suggestion waned.
Or maybe Tang Tianxin secreted more progesterone because she was pregnant, which made the part of her body that belonged to her mother extremely active and broke through the shackles of penetrating hints.
Chen Feng took a deep breath and reminded himself.
There is hope.
I can't give up, I can't despair.
Looking around, I am the only sober person in the whole world.
I had to make her belly bigger.
She must try to awaken the human emotion in her body, and open a gap in the wall of near-unbreakable psychological suggestion!
Intuition told Chen Feng that as long as he succeeded this time, he might be able to completely eradicate psychological infiltration next time.
He thought through gritted teeth.
Am I not amazing enough?
Then I'm even more amazing!
Since the emotional offensive doesn't work, then continue to get stronger, so strong that you burst the table, and use your tender body to seduce her!
Chen Feng clicked on a technical document.
The information is about the genetic fluid injection that each baby must go through when he is born and can only go through once in his or her lifetime.
He's going to take a gamble.
He gambled that his body, which had been copied and pasted from thousands of years ago, had never been injected with genetic fluid.
He bet that the effects of serum and gene fluid are only similar in appearance, but there is a difference in essence.
He gambled that he could change again.
Even if the infant mortality rate is one-third, the adult mortality rate is twice as high as that of infants, up to two-thirds.
He also decided to take a gamble.
