Chapter 568: The Matrix

Hearing about the role of neural implants, everyone present realized the value.

Knowledge is power, and it can improve the efficiency of knowledge transfer, which can undoubtedly greatly promote the development of science.

I'm afraid it's for this reason that Dr. Grace, as a scientist, would interject to mention such a sentence.

"Why can't we do it now?" Qiao Lu couldn't help but ask.

Dr. Grace replied, "The brain is the most complex part of the human body, and it is of course the most troublesome to implant a machine here. Once there is a rejection, it is very likely to lead to death on the spot, and there is no chance of salvation at all. That's why it is necessary to improve the adaptability of prosthetics for all humans, otherwise this technology will not be able to be promoted on a large scale. ”

This is a matter of course, once brain dead, a person is a corpse, no matter how advanced the medical technology can not be saved, brain surgery has always been the biggest problem in medicine.

In contrast, other artificial organs and things like prosthetics can only be said to be the most superficial applications.

"But this can also lead to a lot of problems, personal privacy leakage, hacking crimes, and even brainwashing control, is this really good?" ”

"These problems exist in the development of the Internet today, so have we given up on the development of the Internet?" Dr. Grace asked rhetorically.

Indeed, these questions are well understood in everyone's hearts.

It is impossible for humans to abandon the Internet and return to the pre-information age, so the problems caused by neural implants are just the same.

After a long discussion, the board of directors, including Qiao Lu, finally unanimously agreed with Dr. Grace's suggestion and adopted the transformation plan of [Synthetic Evolution].

It's actually a lot easier to make such a decision, at least you need to face it as an extension of the existing problem, even if you don't choose [Synthetic Evolution], maybe one day the Wandering Earth will still go a step forward.

It's just that even if the [Synthetic Evolution] plan is completed, the neural implant technology of the Wandering Earth has not yet reached such a high level, and Dr. Grace's idea may take a little time to be realized.

It is best to have a plane shuttle that appears this time, which can lead the Wandering Earth to a plane that is technologically advanced in this regard, so that it can greatly accelerate the process of [synthetic evolution] and allow humans to evolve into a race with more efficient information transmission.

Just when Qiao Lu thought so, he didn't expect the opportunity to come soon!

As usual, in hyperspace, the planetary engine portal tower has discovered a mysterious coordinate, through which the Wandering Earth has so far experienced Resident Evil, Overwatch, Nier: Automata and other worlds, and is already quite proficient in this.

However, what happened this time was completely unexpected by everyone.

Zhang Bin, president of the Central Academy of Sciences, immediately found Qiao Lu and discussed with him the strange things he encountered this time.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the coordinates found this time? ”

Qiao Lu came to Zhang Bin's office and sat down and asked.

Zhang Bin took off his eyes, rubbed his temples and said, "Yes, there is a big problem." We've discovered this mysterious coordinate, but we can't teleport anything to it. ”

This thing is indeed unusual, and it is impossible to teleport objects over, so what is the point of this coordinate?

"So, we're going to have to give up exploring this coordinate?" Qiao Lu said as a matter of course.

There is no way to observe people without teleporting them, as stated in the original Resident Evil plane.

Zhang Bin shook his head and said, "If it's just like this, we don't have to worry so much." But that's not the case, as I said earlier, nothing can be teleported through. ”

"Objects?"

Qiao Lu immediately realized the point that Zhang Bin said, scientists are extremely rigorous, since it is said that objects cannot be transmitted, then it also means that what can be transmitted is something other than objects.

Zhang Bin nodded and said, "That's right, after many experimental attempts, we stumbled upon that we can teleport people's consciousness through neural interfaces, just like Dr. Grace's Avatar Project." ”

In this way, it really can't be regarded as an object, but it is necessary to transmit consciousness to the past, is it the virtual world on the other side?

"So what did the people we teleported to see in the past?" Qiao Lu hurriedly asked.

Since Zhang Bin can be so sure that consciousness can be transmitted, then he must have done relevant experiments.

Speaking of this, Zhang Bin sighed and said sadly: "This is the biggest problem, the volunteer we teleported over died in a short time. ”

"Dead?" Qiao Lu suddenly became alert, "How could you die?" If his consciousness is killed on that side, shouldn't it return to the body? ”

This is how Dr. Grace's Avatar device works, if a person's consciousness manipulates the Avatar to die, then he will only return to his own body, and it is impossible for him to die with him.

That's why what happened this time was so beyond our imagination. According to the autopsy report, his body had experienced a violent stress response, similar to that of a gunshot wound, but the real cause of death was brain death. ”

Zhang Bin said in a heavy tone: "All this is happening in front of our eyes, but nothing can be done, no matter how first aid is carried out here, it cannot prevent his death, something must have happened on the other side." ”

"Is there no way to disconnect urgently?" Qiao Lu asked.

Zhang Bin replied: "Yes, it will also cause brain death, and it will be more crisp and neat." ”

The signs so far have given Qiao Lu a clue. It's just that he needs more information to find out if that's the case.

"Any other clues?"

"We're in constant contact with the volunteer, and this is a recording of him before he died."

Zhang Bin played an audio on the computer, which was the valuable information that the Wandering Earth transmitted to the past volunteers in exchange for their lives.

"Someone! No, something is chasing me! (Running and gunshots) and so on, it's all over them! Those guys are everywhere! ”

Eventually, there was only a barrage of gunfire, and then everything calmed down, and it seemed that this was the result.

Hearing this, Qiao Lu was basically sure. Why can only the consciousness of the person be transmitted to the past, and why dying over there is equivalent to real brain death.

Strictly speaking, this is not a coordinate to another plane, but a virtual world, but it is more dangerous than reality, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life!
