Chapter 799: The Experiment Begins
Zhang Yuan sighed, "Your civilization is sometimes more courageous than ours. Maybe it's because we know too much on our side, so we often suffer from gains and losses. On the contrary, the experts on your side joined the program without hesitation. ”
Andover said: "Life and death...... This topic is too complicated, if you can study mathematics better, there is nothing you can't want, and you can think of it as giving your all for your faith. ”
Zhang Yuan suddenly thought about something, and said, "However, Professor Kadorf, after revising your thinking, your awareness of race may be diluted a lot. Even if the experiment is successful, it will not be possible to leave the laboratory for a while. ”
This Professor Kadolfo, the highest-ranking member of the Gliese civilization, has set up many foundations to help his people. His departure is equivalent to the loss of a pillar in the clan.
The pangolin shook its head and said, "Oh...... It's nothing...... I think the price is acceptable. Our people can only rely on themselves in the end. I believe that without me, there is nothing special. ”
"Yes, you're right." Zhang Yuandao: "A normal race, without anyone can function normally, and we humans are the same. ”
In this kind of small talk, everyone's nervousness gradually faded, and at eight o'clock in the morning, it was finally time for the experiment.
The 14 subjects were lying in a special device, Zhang Yuan closed his eyes, and after connecting to the various instruments, his self-consciousness was quickly uploaded to a virtual world.
He is the only one in this virtual world host, but he can perceive the outside world through a special machine. The atmosphere in Unreal Lab is depressing, with everyone working the parameters on the screen and putting the finishing touches on it.
In fact, there is no need to do too much, all the preparation work has been done in advance for decades, and the computer will automatically perform most of the steps.
They only need to focus on a few key pieces of data.
"Are you all ready?" Professor Yamamoto took a deep breath.
"No problem." Everyone replied.
"NT New Humanity Project, officially begun!"
Zhang Yuan felt that his eyes were dark in the next second, and then he fell unconscious.
Revision of the mind is a very delicate process, similar to memory indoctrination, but the main risk is that the mind collapses, memory loss, or self-consciousness dissipates...... After all, human beings have not yet solved the true mystery of self-consciousness. Just use the black box system to solve another black box problem.
Approximately every 10% of the progress completed, all subjects will wake up once, report on their current state of mind, test their psychology, and then select the next thinking module.
Zhang Yuan is naturally the main reporter of this experiment, and his memory will not dissipate in the transformation, and he can accurately report more effective information by knowing the cognitive changes before and after.
Time passed, and due to the extreme complexity of the project, only 2% of the progress was completed about every day.
When the completion rate reached 46%, there were 2 failed cases;
At 72%, there were 3 more failures......
After finally achieving 100% completion, the successful ones ...... 9 people!
A total of 7 humans, 2 Gliezers.
As the first complete makeover experiment, the 64% success rate is already good. All the staff inside Unreal Lab, nervous and a little expectant, waited for these modders to wake up.
……
Zhang Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, his mind was clear, and the whole person seemed to be soaring in the air, fluttering lightly.
After a few minutes, he slowly began to regain his senses.
He suddenly heard a word outside. A female student said happily in the outside world: "Professor Zhang is awake!" It's awesome that the first Awakened has appeared. Professor Zhang, how are you feeling at the moment? ”
"I feel...... Very good! Now it feels like lying on top of a ball of cotton. ”
The female doctor was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Do you feel lying on top of cotton?" Why? ”
"I don't know why I feel that way. It's slowly disappearing...... It feels normal. ”
Zhang Yuan is checking his physical condition, and he is still in the virtual world due to his thoughts being uploaded. The body is in the shape of a human being, and its appearance has not changed, but there is no physiological activity such as heartbeat and pulse anymore.
He had abandoned his physical body and transformed into a digital form.
"How do you still feel now? I've observed that all of your parameters are good. ”
He feels really good, his mind is clear and his mental state is good...... Or never so optimistic and open-minded, full of hope for the future of humanity.
Level 5 Civilization ...... It seems like it's just around the corner!
Zhang Yuan asked, "What are the results of the experiment?" ”
"As a result, there were nine successes and five more failures...... You are the first to wake up, and they are all in conscious adaptation. ”
"Did you fail 5 people......"
A trace of lament flashed in Zhang Yuan's heart, and he still retained these negative emotions. I looked at the list of losers again, and sighed secretly, these are people who were once famous, but they sacrificed their lives like this.
The girl said, "Now if you have the energy, I will give you a question about political leanings, and please answer it carefully." ”
"Okay, no problem."
A large screen appeared in front of Zhang Yuan's eyes, and the information was still transmitted visually. In fact, it is not impossible to transmit information directly to the mind, but in the initial experiment, you must be cautious if you can be cautious. These non-core features are not too important and can be improved in the future.
Political tendencies are an important component of ideology, and in sociology, they are divided into social constructivism and essentialism, restorative justice and punitive justice, progressivism and conservatism, internationalism and nationalism, communism and capitalism, normatism and laissez-faire, ecology and productivism, revolution and reformism, and so on.
And within a certain ideology, there are a large number of different branches, left-leaning, right-leaning, and so on.
After revising the thinking, the political leanings of some individuals can change very dramatically. For example, democratic socialism may be transformed into state socialism, or it may be transformed into scientific socialism.
After Zhang Yuan completed this task, he found that his political leanings had not changed much, and he had shifted by about 17.9 percentage points in the coordinate plane. That's really not a big number
The main reason is that his original thinking is not much different from the current one. A large part of the thinking framework is provided by him, so there is a certain overlap.
"The results of the survey...... As expected. ”
"Please complete this psychological investigation again."
The main content of this psychological report is the psychological tendencies of the experimenter and anti-social investigation.
In order to avoid some unknown troubles, the traditional concepts of male and female are temporarily delineated in the new thinking framework, but the distinction has been diluted a lot.
After all, this is only the first generation of thinking modification plan, and it can still be revised from generation to generation.
It also investigates whether you have an appetite, whether you want to sleep, whether you have a favorite color, your favorite book, what kind of opposite sex you prefer, and so on......
One by one, authoritative experts in this area came up to ask in turn, and across a screen, Zhang Yuan spent almost a day answering in turn.
"Don't you want to eat?"
"I'm not sure, I can eat it or not. It doesn't feel bad. ”
In the virtual world, exquisite meals can be debugged, and Zhang Yuan can still get food enjoyment from them, which is similar to the electronic hormones of hemispheric civilizations.
Normally, though, this pleasure is similar to sleeping. He doesn't specifically choose to eat, and it becomes a dispensable.
