Chapter 270: The Mystery of Self-Consciousness
It coincided with the Spring Festival, and Zhang Yuan was in the office, reading a scientific research report attentively.
In the past few years, he has been busy almost every day, especially during the period of communication with the Gliese civilization, all kinds of messy affairs and endless worries, it is simply anxious. It's good to be able to sleep three or four hours a day.
However, over the years, talents from all walks of life have gradually been cultivated, and they can be gradually delegated to these professionals. Foreign affairs, population issues, and education issues also have their own experts in charge, so now he just needs to take care of his own technology.
The importance of science and technology to human beings is self-evident, and it is the foundation of a civilization's survival in the vast universe!
Thinking of the heavy pressure, Zhang Yuan would rather not take the Spring Festival holiday and go to work in the office. Anyway, reading this kind of scientific research report brings a high level of happiness, and there is not much difference from rest.
As a result, looking at it, Zhang Yuan jumped up from the stool in shock!
According to this scientific research report, the elite scientists in the Unreal Unreal Lab have preliminarily deciphered the mystery of the "Bozman Quantum Consciousness Converter"!
It's just preliminary, but it's exciting enough.
This instrument turned out to be a powerful "biological quantum computer"!
The magic of it...... It is possible to upload not only the "self-awareness" of humans, but also the consciousness of other animals, such as mice, rabbits, dogs, cats, and even insects and reptiles!
The whole process of grasping "self-awareness" is very strange, first using the means of right-handed neutrino scanning to decipher the brain structure of life, read its core memories, and then send a series of complex electromagnetic waves.
This series of electromagnetic waves will gradually get closer to the brain waves, and then in an instant, self-consciousness will be inexplicably uploaded. Due to the different brain structures of various organisms, the electromagnetic waves sent will also be different, and people have not yet explored the law.
This phenomenon is simply incredible, beyond the imagination of human beings!
"Right-handed neutrino scan?" Zhang Yuan frowned, just this technology itself, human beings don't know when and when they can completely master it......
Neutrinos are one of the elementary particles that make up nature, they do not participate in electromagnetic interactions, and they have very, very strong penetrating power.
I don't know how many times stronger this penetration is than traditional X-rays, X-rays can't even penetrate a few centimeters of lead plate, but neutrinos can easily penetrate a planet!
Normally, natural neutrinos are left-handed, and right-handed neutrinos are actually left-handed neutrino antiparticles, which can theoretically be used for the detection of matter, and this detection will not destroy the properties of matter itself.
Zhang Yuan shook his head, put these technical difficulties behind him for the time being, and continued reading.
“…… Only some higher beings have the existence of a 'self'. ”
Ichiro Yamamoto, the lead biologist at Unreal Labs, wrote in the research report: "...... Life forms with underdeveloped brains, such as insects and reptiles, are driven by instinct in their every move, and are more of a biological robot than self-awareness! ”
"After these insect consciousness is uploaded, most of the data streams that can be captured are visible, and only a few are invisible. The more complex the life, the more invisible the data stream is......"
"If you forcibly read this part of the invisible data, and then transmit the consciousness back. The creature will be directly paralyzed, and there will be no way to resurrect it......"
Being paralyzed is not directly dead, but in a vegetative state. The brain stem is still working, and the organs are working, but there is no way to wake up.
Scientists have no way to experiment with living people for the time being, and most of the experimental individuals are cats, dogs, or monkeys cloned from artificial wombs, but it can also explain a large part of the problem!
What does this mean?
Illustrate that some of the assumptions in the doctrine of "Bozman self-consciousness" are probably correct!
"The real self-consciousness of human beings may be a series of quantum entanglement states, which can only jump them to the computer as a whole, but there is no way to forcibly read and copy them."
"Once copied and read the specific information inside, the quantum entangled state will be destroyed, the wave function will collapse, and the random number will become a fixed value!"
Seeing this, with a "bang", Zhang Yuan knocked on the table very excitedly.
Even if humans still can't understand the specific principles of this technology, a very important problem has been solved.
That is, the question of whether the "I" before and after is consistent.
If it's just a quantum leap as a whole, rather than a plain copy of a memory, or a horrific statement like "kill the old me and form the new me", then ...... I believe that many people can still accept this new technology.
This is just the first breaking point.
The second breakthrough is that ordinary computers cannot carry the consciousness after uploading, so it is necessary to use a biological computer that uses a neural network architecture, plus some special quantum chaos algorithm.
With the use of biological computers and chaotic algorithms, humans have no way of knowing what is being calculated, which ensures the "unreadable nature" of consciousness.
"Biological computer ......" Zhang Yuan frowned, and another problem appeared.
"If you have to use a biological computer...... We want to copy it, and it's very difficult. ”
Biological computers and photonic computers are two different directions. The main raw material of biocomputers is protein molecules produced by bioengineering technology, which are used as biochips.
Biological computers can carry, regardless of permutation data or folded data, so they can carry extremely large amounts of data.
The most important thing is that it is not like an electronic computer, which cannot be automatically repaired after the chip is damaged, and has the ability to repair itself. Just like the human body, if the damage is not large, it will repair itself.
The reason why humanity has not developed vigorously is ...... Because of the difficulty of its implementation, it is too difficult for a single gate element to implement complex biological logic pathways, which is far less simple than that of photonic chips.
He sighed slightly: "However, with an alien biocomputer as a reference, there should be some breakthrough points." ”
"Hey, there are still many difficulties......"
After reading the report, he quickly got up and headed to Unreal Lab. This information is so exciting that I have to pay attention to it!
Hurrying to the door of the laboratory, Professor Yamamoto was already standing outside waiting, as if he had expected Zhang Yuan's arrival.
"Self-awareness, most likely, is an algorithm based on memory! Quantum algorithms! Yamamoto didn't ink, he went straight to the point and said the biggest research results so far, and led Zhang Yuan to visit the latest research progress.
"Algorithm?" Zhang Yuan wondered.
"yes, probably!" Yamamoto's old face flushed and looked excited.
The philosophical problem that has plagued countless predecessors has inexplicably been transformed into a solvable scientific problem. The thought of the possibility of conquering this previously unimaginable mountain made me tremble with excitement.
