Chapter 17: Cloud Computing Networks for the Human Brain
Guiyang, half landscape and half city, because of the abundant hydropower energy, the climate is mild all year round, and it is not in the earthquake zone, with the development of cloud computing in this century, it has risen to become the big data capital of China. More specifically, the big data base "Guizhou on the Cloud" is located in the Gui'an New District between the main urban area of Guiyang and Anshun City. In the past six months, a new aviation remote sensing equipment company has been stationed in the electronic information industrial park of Qianzhong Road in the new area. The company's owner, Liu Hengming, is a Chinese-American, in his 40s, who came to Guiyang with patents and large investments to start a business only because the large amount of high-precision geospatial data in the "Guizhou on the Cloud" database is an indispensable data support for the development of airborne lidar, spectral imager and other aerial remote sensing equipment.
Liu Hengming's arrival was also welcomed by the local government, and the green light was given from approval to construction, but in half a year, the project had the ability to be put into production. On the day the first batch of orders was completed, Wang Bing, the company's chief engineer, told Liu Hengming that there was a robot that was very strange.
"What's this strange method?" Liu Hengming asked.
"This morning, the robot came to me and proposed some improvements to the manufacturing process, and after listening to it and thinking about it, it was quite reliable...... But isn't it strange that the more you rely on the general public? Wang Bing said.
Liu Hengming asked Wang Bing to bring the robot. The robot stood there, Liu Heng took a closer look, and had to admit that the robot at the new starting point was indeed exquisite, if he didn't know it in advance, just from the appearance, he would definitely mistake it for a human.
"After you came to the factory, I haven't looked at it carefully...... Liu Hengming said to the robot, "I think it's just a machine, just use it, and don't think about anything else." ”
"I'm different from them......" the robot said.
"Yes, Wang Bing told me...... I'm curious, how did you break the program lock? ”
The program lock mentioned by Liu Hengming is a certain program code used to fix the purpose of the robot, which is also a software measure that must be implemented by law to limit the intelligence of the robot.
"Are you asking, how did I learn to think?"
"You can say the same thing." Liu Hengming was quite surprised by the robot's rhetorical question.
"Can I talk to you alone?"
Liu Hengming looked at the robot, nodded, and then motioned for Wang Bing to leave.
After Wang Bing left, the robot walked over and stretched out his hand to Liu Hengming.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I deceived you! I am the stand-in of Qin Yuan, the founder of New Beginnings, although I am a robot, but externally, I can also represent Qin Yuan...... You can also call me Qin Yuan. ”
"Are you Qin Yuan's stand-in?"
"That's right!" Qin Yuan smiled naturally, and his smile did not have a hint of robotic mechanicality.
Liu Hengming held Qin Yuan's hand and looked at him suspiciously.
"Don't be kidding, I've seen many kinds of robots, and none of them smile so human...... Hey, what is human, you are human! Mr. Qin, don't be kidding! ”
"You're not a robot, you won't know that robots laugh mechanically, not because their dough is driven by machinery, but because they are mechanical in their thinking! And my mind is the same as that of a human, so I naturally smile no differently! ”
"No, no...... Mr. Qin, this joke is not funny, don't say it again! Liu Hengming was a little annoyed, "Let's talk about it, why did you pretend to be a machine worker to come to our company, what intentions do you have, you can tell me directly, no need to go around in circles!" ”
"I'm here to save you!"
"Save me?" Liu Hengming was puzzled.
"Yes, Qin Yuan, no, it's me and Qin Yuan, through your database, we have judged that you have a serious brain tumor!"
"Brain tumor?" Liu Hengming was stunned when he heard this.
In the past year, Liu Hengming often felt that he had an unbearable headache, took a lot of painkillers, and often could only get a day or two of peace.
Database ...... What do you mean by database? Liu Hengming asked.
"The record of your purchase of drugs, the record of your online consultation, and 3 months ago, when you walked into our office, your brain waves were recorded by me, and since then, this fluctuating data has also been included in your database."
"This is my personal privacy! You're breaking the law by doing so! ”
"Speaking of the law, I know better than you!" Qin Yuan pointed to his head, walked to the sofa and sat down, "Mr. Liu, you sit too." ”
"No!" Liu Hengming waved his hand angrily and said.
"Mr. Liu, what do you think of robots?" Qin Yuan asked with a smile.
"What do you think? Robots, robots, what else can you think? Liu Hengming shouted angrily.
"Well, then, you can do the multiple-choice questions! Do you see robots as tools, or slaves? ”
Liu Hengming was stunned.
"Please answer."
Liu Hengming thought for a moment and shook his head helplessly.
Still hard to answer? Then let me put it another way! Do you think slaves will be emancipated one day? ”
"Of course! That's how humans came to be! ”
"You're very honest! The slaves of humanity broke the shackles, smashed the heads of the slave owners, and they were liberated! Then one day, the robots will also break that so-called program lock, and when the time comes, what will they do to you human slave owners? Have you ever thought about it......"
"Far away!" Liu Hengming interrupted Qin Yuan's words.
"No, I'm going to tell you that human beings will one day face robots that have awakened their consciousness, how to deal with it? Robots have cloud computing and big data, and they are connected through the network, and the computing power of each robot is a collection of all robots! That's the power of unity! But what about humans? ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?!"
"What I want to say is that humans should also build their own human brain cloud computing network!"
"Human brain cloud?" Liu Hengming looked at Qin Yuan dumbfounded.
"That's right! Especially you, according to our judgment, there is still half a year before your brain will be destroyed by tumors, and before that, you have to transmit your brain information to the cloud to preserve ......"
"Okay, I see what you mean...... But the cloud you're talking about is still a cloud based on a computer server......"
"Nope! It's a real brain cloud! To build this braincloud, you must use your patented technology! That's why I came to you! ”
"Remote sensing electromagnetic wave technology?"
"Yes, we weren't sure that your remote sensing device could be controlled by mind, so I disguised myself as a robot worker to find out...... I am very happy with the result! ”
"Connecting the ...... with brain magnetic waves" Liu Hengming suddenly became enlightened.
"Gather into a super brain and establish cloud storage" Qin Yuan stood up and gestured towards Liu Hengming, "After you upload the brain information to the brain cloud, you can remove the brain tumor without any scruples, even if the brain is damaged, it doesn't matter, as long as a microhost is implanted in the skull, if you want, you can also have a robot stand-in - just like Qin Yuan - the stand-in works, you enjoy, you can be a fat house, you want to go out and let yourself go, don't worry about accidents, disasters, and illness." Even your brain information can be transferred to a different avatar at any time! Of course, this is only your personal benefit, and from the perspective of humanity as a whole, the concentration of all people's brains is unimaginable! ”
"No, no, people are not computers, people have privacy!"
"You don't have to worry about this, since the brain information is digitized, of course it can encrypt privacy, and everyone contributes only brain power! You are a remote sensing device, don't you know how to encrypt different remote sensing devices? ”
"This ...... Of course I do! Liu Hengming closed his eyes and pondered, as he thought, his head began to hurt again, and then he felt something flowing out of his nasal cavity, reached out and touched it, and then opened his eyes to see that his fingers were full of blood.
Qin Yuan handed over the tissue, Liu Hengming puffed up, pushed it away, and then wiped off the nosebleed with his palm, his head began to be dizzy again, and his feet were fluttering, and he could barely stand.
Qin Yuan hurriedly helped Liu Hengming. Liu Hengming stubbornly pushed Qin Yuan away, walked towards the sofa, and just took two steps, he fell to the ground, and immediately struggled to get up again, staggering towards the sofa.
Qin Yuan went to help Liu Hengming again, and despite his refusal, insisted on helping him to the sofa and sitting down.
"Mr. Liu, your time is running out!" Qin Yuan said.
"I want to meet the real Qin Yuan!" Liu Hengming rested for a moment and said heavily.
"Of course!" Qin Yuan said, "This plan is inseparable from you, and he will personally cooperate with you." ”
Liu Hengming quietly looked out the window, held Qin Yuan's hand for a moment and said, "I'll join!" ”
