Chapter 329: The Future of Humanity
It is not so easy to achieve electronic immortality.
Of course, everyone knows this.
From ancient times to the present, from reality to literary works, there will be no shortage of people who pursue eternal life.
For example, in ancient Tianxia, there were various emperors in order to live forever, and as a result, they ate the elixir and ate death, no matter how much it was true or how much it was fabricated, it all showed the pursuit of immortality by human beings.
There are also chasing immortals and seeking the Tao in various literary works, and even when Sun Wukong learns Taoism, he first asks: "Can you live forever?" ”
And many foreign legends, such as making a deal with a demon for the sake of immortality, sacrificing an unspeakable being for one's own life, praying for God to give oneself eternal life, and blackening and destroying the world if you don't give it, all of them are pretty much the same.
These things can be seen in some of the mentality of human beings, and longer lifespan has always been the pursuit of human beings.
"Wanting to live longer" is not only an extension of power and pleasure, but also of great significance to the development of human civilization.
Do you think, how many major projects have been saved because of the death of the leader? How many experiments that have reached a critical moment have been thrown into the archives because of the death of the leader?
Although we are all human beings, you have to admit that people cannot be generalized, and the leading role of some people is really incomparable!
Those internationally renowned scientists, even those who have influenced the course of history, when their lives come to an end, people will feel regret.
If the Emperor lived for another twenty years, what kind of impact would it have on the world?
You must know that he was the one who established the unified system of Tianxia, and the great dynasties of later generations were all modified on his basis.
What would have happened if Maozi's original space delivery expert had lived for another twenty years?
You must know that he is the person who has made Mao Zi's aerospace technology ahead of Merrican for a long time, and he was overwhelmed by Meiru Ken in the early stage of the space race.
"If they had lived for a few more years, the world would have been different."
This is a question that many people have pondered.
Although the current technology of human beings is not good, it cannot stop the big brains of human beings, and various literary works have given many paths.
There are many paths, but in summary, they can be roughly divided into two paths, one is physical immortality and the other is electronic immortality.
Physical immortality is easy to say, that is, to use various techniques to keep the body healthy, so that you can live forever, and even extremely, if your own body is not good, you will change your head and use someone else's body.
With the development of science and technology, various diseases and injuries have been solved, and the average life expectancy of human beings has been from more than ten years to the current average of seventy years old, and the future will be longer, until the limit of human life is broken, this road is considered to be passed.
Electron immortality is even more extreme, and now scientific research has found that the human body does not seem to be a necessary part of "life".
Just like farming, the old belief was that plants had to be planted in the land to grow, but now people have found that they can grow without soil and in water.
Some people think that the body is actually more or less like the brain, just a device that transports nutrients.
If the technology is sufficient, the brain can survive and think as long as the nutrient solution in the nutrition box is not exhausted, as long as the energy supply is continuous.
Even more extreme, all substances are gone, not only the body, not even the brain, just "consciousness"!
Some people think that human self-perception is just some memories, some electrical signals, which is also some related technologies for neural access to virtual reality, if all consciousness is converted into electrical signals and uploaded directly to computers and networks, human beings can live forever.
It's just that all of these methods have a problem that needs to be solved, and that is the problem of "yourself".
It's easy to say that you keep strengthening your body, after all, all the parts are your own, but your life has become longer, and you are still yourself, which is very understandable.
If you change your head or body, will you count yourself or someone else, or two in one?
The consciousness is even more absolute, and even the body is gone, and the brain in the tank still has a brain, which is a thing on his body, and the consciousness is really a string of data.
At that point, is "you" you, or even that you are not human?
What's the difference between you and advanced AI?
Isn't it time to call you an electronic being?
Get you a mechanical body, you are a real "robot", so you are going to engage in mechanical ascension?
In the end, many problems are not only technical problems, but also human moral and ethical problems.
The roles played by ethics and morality are also twofold.
Some people believe that they are a buffer layer for the stable development of human civilization and are very necessary.
Others believe that they are an obstacle to the development of human civilization and are completely unnecessary.
Without ethical and moral intervention, humans may have now been transformed into "tentacle monsters" through various artificial bioengineering.
"You" can accept it, and even "you" feel beautiful and practical, but some people don't accept it, some people just think that the original form of human beings is good-looking, and only accept the human form.
If this is a complete split of the race, and finally the human race and the "human race" themselves will fight, and finally fight the end of civilization, who is this?
So don't look at the Navigator is now sprinting towards 100% nerve infiltration, but reaching 100% is not the end, but a starting point, and after that, there is still a lot of work to be done.
Even whether the last 100% of the infiltrated equipment is to be shelved or permanently sealed is a question.
But that's later, and it's also something that humanistic scientists have to talk about, and for now, the old scientist who listened to Tang Chao talk about the prospect couldn't sit still.
What is open-minded, what is open-minded, what is handed over to young people, all of them do not exist, and I can do it for another twenty years!
Some elderly people even said on the spot, "When do you need a real test, find me, I will be a 100% infiltrated tester!" ”
Well, I still see it, it really doesn't matter if you die or not, it's much more important to have a breakthrough in the project after studying it all your life, and I don't hesitate to dedicate myself to it.
Seeing that the old scientists were getting more and more excited, Tang Chao didn't dare to let them stay here, so he hurriedly took them away.
I originally wanted the old scientists to rest and rest, but they didn't, and they wanted to discuss the introduction of equipment with Tang Chao.
With an infiltration capsule with 80% immersion, a helmet with a maximum penetration of 50% is certainly not a good idea.
Of course, the helmet market must be supported, after all, it is for the masses, the order of magnitude is huge, and the subsidy of 100 billion yuan will not be less, but in the field of high-precision, that is another matter.
For example, the space agency, the Institute of Advanced Studies and other places, they use submersible capsules are the most cost-effective.
Although the submersible capsule is expensive, those places don't use much, so it's actually "not much".
When money can be exchanged for high performance, and money is not a thing, people are happy to do it.
The requirements for buying a submersible capsule were nothing, and Tang Chao was ready to sell them when they saw it.
But this has to be kept secret, and now the outside world only knows about 50% of the helmets.
At the very least, it has to be kept secret for a while, and only ...... for a while
It depends.
