188. Dream Guide
Hou Biao threw himself forward, Aoki took a step back, pulled out the dagger, and then leaned sideways to resist Hou Biao's forward body with his shoulder.
He did so at a great risk, giving himself away without any protection. If Biao fought back at this time, whether it was an elbow blow, a knee strike, or a strangulation of his neck with the wire in his hand, it would be difficult for Aoki to block it, and even if he could fight back, he would be seriously injured.
Fortunately, Hou Biao didn't do anything, with the strength of Aoki's shoulder, he stabilized his body, put away the wire, and his eyes revealed indescribable loneliness, but his face was still flushed with excitement from the fight, and his face looked extremely funny.
"Why don't you kill me?"
"You said that as long as we don't win or lose, we'll be cleared. Since you won't be trying to kill me again, what reason do I have to kill you now? ”
"But it's clear that I lost, and it's not that I won't win or lose."
Aoki returned the dagger in his hand to him and said, "Although your wire is very treacherous, it still suffers compared to the lethality of the dagger, and if it is replaced, I may not be able to beat you." ”
Aoki had to admit that if you compare purely from the strength of the fight, Hou Biao is a little stronger than him, at least in terms of muscle strength, after all, one is training all year round, and the other is sleeping all year round. The reason why he was able to win was because of his strong mental power that brought about a sharper nerve reaction than ordinary people, and on the other hand, he did take advantage of the blade.
Hou Biao doesn't think so: "If you lose, you lose." ”
Aoki said, "You go." ”
Hou Biao said: "Okay, I won't trouble you in the future." After speaking, he picked up the hat on the ground and turned around to leave, walked a few steps and turned back to remind, "Jiang Ye wants to kill you, and I am not the only one under him." And he said, "I will not trouble you, but if you want to kill him, I will protect him." ”
Aoki said, "I know. ”
After Hou Biao left, Aoki immediately called Hu Xing and asked her to pick up the poppy. Jiang Deguan wants to avenge his younger brother, and if he can't help Aoki, he will definitely find a way to do something to the people around him. It is safe for poppies to live in Shi Dazhuang's place, and no matter how crazy a person is, he will not go to the house of the criminal investigation captain to kidnap people.
After the decoration of the bar was suspended, Xiao Qi and Mo Yu didn't have to come over for the time being, and Aoki simply suggested that they go out for a few days off. He talked to Bi Shenghua, and Bi Shenghua readily agreed, and privately funded Xiao Qi and Mo Yu a sum of money.
Aoki originally wanted to let Bi Shenghua go out for a few days and come back after he finished dealing with Jiang Deguan's affairs. But Bi Shenghua said that it was not interesting to go out alone, and she was still waiting for Lao Wang and Aunt Zhang to come back to talk to them. Aoki can think about it, anyway, he can still take care of the safety of a person for the rest of his life, even if he is not at home, there is still a crow at home.
After settling these things, Aoki immediately went back to Mei Yiqiu's laboratory. He wanted to discuss future security issues with Mei Yiqiu.
For a conference as big as Copenhagen, it was impossible to completely block information, and there were already intelligence and science and technology officials from various governments involved, and although they promised to keep secrets, everyone knew that the promises of these officials were tantamount to fart.
Hou Biao's appearance gave Aoki a warning, the revenge of Jiang Deguan and his ilk was not terrible, and he would not take it to heart, it was a big deal to find an opportunity to strike first. He thought that if the gunmen were sent by the intruders, they would be in constant danger in the future.
Mei Yiqiu didn't think so much about his own safety, he said: "Even if Leicester's last words are made public, not many people will believe it, and it will not have any impact on society except for a heated discussion on the Internet." If those aliens were desperate to kill all those who believed in this last word, wouldn't it be three hundred taels of silver here? If they were smart enough, they wouldn't have done so until they had full control of the planet's resources. ”
Aoki disagreed: "They don't need to kill all these people, they just need to kill a few important people among you and strangle your plan against them in the cradle." Of course, before that, I think the best way for them to deal with it is to take down one or two of you through a consciousness invasion first, and get all the secrets. ”
"Well, we've thought about this risk as well, so there aren't many people who know about the core plan." Mei Yiqiu said a little mysteriously with a pipe in his mouth, "We broke down the whole project into a lot of sub-tasks and released them to the people who are currently known to have signed by Lester, giving them jobs according to their credibility and ability. ”
"Is that the plan you're talking about the box you're working on?" Aoki had heard Mei talk about it, but there were too many abstract scientific concepts for him to know more about.
"That's right, it's like a box. In fact, there are many scientific hypotheses and theories about human consciousness and thought, but the research of the scientific community has always been inseparable from matter and energy, and no one separates consciousness from these things for research, which is a deviant thing, just like scientists a hundred years ago could not get rid of the ether. Lester's last words were like a fire, igniting the dry wood of the theories about consciousness that had been piled up long ago. And that genius Situ added another bucket of oil to this pile of flames. ”
"Situ?"
"Yes, the theory of this box is what he mentioned in his letter to me. In the past, I would have thought it was an unrealistic lunatic, but he gave it to me after Lester's last words appeared, and I believe this guy did it on purpose, and he knew that only then could I understand his thoughts. ”
"Actually, it's nothing." Mei Yiqiu looked at Aoki's blank appearance and added, "The box is to stimulate the nerve center of the human brain through quantum droplets under high-frequency laser pulses, and this stimulation is carried out according to the simulation of human senses, so as to guide the human consciousness to create a virtual environment." At this time, there will be a brief separation between the consciousness and the body, which is the dark box stage. At this stage, consciousness goes into a dark box where there is nothing but the basic rules we set, and the consciousness needs to create things on its own, including its own appearance. ”
Aoki didn't quite understand concepts like quantum drops, and of course he knew that there were more things involved in scientific theories, but he understood the function of the box: "Isn't this just dreaming? It's a ...... Hypnotic boxes? ”
Mei Yiqiu said: "It can be understood in this way. The person who uses the box creates a separate virtual space, and the space of all users can be connected by ground rules. That's why we call it the 'space box'. In fact, moving away from external neuronal sensors to directly stimulate and receive information from the brain is also in line with the future direction of VR technology, which we are just a few years ahead of. ”
"So, in addition to the hardware, this box also comes with a game that we call the 'Dream Guide.'"
"Our goal is that, in the dark box stage, we can distinguish very well whether this ontological consciousness is human or extraterrestrial. Because, according to Lester, this parasitic consciousness itself does not have memory, and exists independently of matter. Then when they enter the dark box stage, their nature will be stimulated, and they will think that they have not found a host yet, so they must behave differently from humans in the future. ”
"What will they do?" Aoki asked.
"I don't know." "All scientific theories need the support of experiments, and I happen to have a patient here who is being invaded but has not yet succeeded in parasitizing. ”
"Xia Wenyuan!" Aoki's mouth opened wide in surprise, "You're going to experiment with him?" ”
