When Shi Haifei and Dawei were playing, in the Almighty Zoo, outside Tiger Mountain, Xiao Ming was playing with Gougou.

After seeing Gougou again, Xiao Ming quickly accepted the fact that Gougou had grown into a big tiger.

Children are always more receptive to this kind of unreasonableness.

After the initial run-in, in less than five minutes, Xiao Ming quickly re-acquainted himself with Gougou.

Xiao Ming climbed up and down on Gougou's body, having a lot of fun.

And Gou Gou is like a helpless brother, letting Xiao Ming toss around on himself, and occasionally interacting with Xiao Ming, but only biting lightly and lightly topping.

Xiao Ming seemed to be playing with his friends, muttering and talking non-stop while playing.

"You know what? When I came, I went to another zoo, and they also fed the baby tigers in the zoo......" Xiao Ming fiddled with his hooked ears, "My mother bought a bottle of milk, which is precious." ”

Saying that, Xiao Ming made a bitter face: "Alas, I thought you hadn't grown up yet, if I had known that you had grown up, I would have fed the little tiger and come again......"

Hey little tiger! How much fun!

Gou Gou thought about it, shook his ears, and stood up from the ground.

Then it wagged its tail, tapped the ground with its paws, motioned for Xiao Ming to wait here, and turned to leave.

"What did Gogou do?" Xiao Ming asked his parents in confusion.

But in less than two minutes, Xiao Ming saw Gou Gou come back.

In its mouth, it lightly bit the back of the neck of a little milk tiger, and put this little milk tiger, which weighed more than ten pounds at most, in front of Xiao Ming.

The little milk tiger rolled on the ground and was about to run away, but Gou Gou grabbed it and bit it back.

"Ahh Little Milk Tiger! Xiao Ming was shocked, "Where did it come from!" ”

"This is the child of Gougou." Next to him, the staff said, "Hook this is for you to breastfeed it." ”

"Really? Gou Gou is a father? Xiao Chen and his wife were dumbfounded, what a speed!

"It's so good to hook you, I love you so much!" Xiao Ming turned his head to look at his parents, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to take Gou Gou back, I'm going to let Gou Gou sleep in my bed!" ”

Xiao Chen and his wife hurriedly shook their heads desperately.

No way! Absolutely not!

Xiao Ming played intimately with a tiger in Tiger Mountain, and also fed the little milk tiger, which attracted many tourists to watch, and to a certain extent, also reduced the pressure on the internal tour route of Tiger Mountain, as well as the dissatisfaction of the people queuing.

They took pictures one after another to record this harmonious scene.

……

In the monitoring room, Zhuang stood in front of the huge surveillance equipment on a wall, watching the footage of each channel.

Because of the eight-fold speed in Tiger Mountain, all the shots looked like fast forward, Zhuang Buyuan just looked at it for a while, and he felt a little dizzy, so he could only look away.

However, these monitoring devices can only be regarded as a backup plan, and the three-pupil person Oka Bao is also overlooking the entire Tiger Mountain, and every move of every tourist in it cannot escape his eyes.

And Zhuang Buyuan looked at Okamo's back from behind, frowning and pondering.

The sudden opening of the domestication achievement chain made Zhuang not far think about it a lot.

There is no doubt that the ultimate goal of intermediate domestication is to make these tigers tiger people, but what are people?

Zhuang Buyuan remembers that when he was in school, biology classes and history books said that humans can walk upright, so they can free their hands and promote the evolution of the brain, so that people can use tools, but birds can also walk upright.

Textbooks also say that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can use tools, but animals also use tools, and it is not uncommon.

Later, the definition of human beings was changed in textbooks to that humans are animals that can make their own tools......

Make your own tools? What is a tool? Are otters who can build dams counted? And if the dam is not a tool? So what counts as a tool?

This kind of definition does not stand up to scrutiny at all, as if someone patted his head and came up with it, probably similar to Plato's hairless two-legged chicken, and it is easy to come up with countless examples that can overturn this definition, but it is just to separate human beings from the natural world and subjectively emphasize the attributes of human beings as human beings.

It is also said that human beings are human because they have "higher thinking".

So what is higher-order thinking?

Logic? Association? Or something else?

Who can prove that animals don't have this ability? Who can prove that this kind of thinking is really advanced?

When studying human intelligence, Zhuang Buyuan also studied artificial intelligence by the way.

He found that artificial intelligence, and even ordinary computer programs that are far from reaching the stage of real artificial intelligence, are far superior to humans in aspects that seem very difficult to humans, such as calculating numbers, no matter how good a mathematician is, there is no computer computing speed, and the numbers calculated by pulling the mouse in the excel sheet can allow an old accountant to play abacus for an afternoon. Another example is the following game of Go, where a dog can kill all the Go masters in the world.

But on the other hand, what humans and even any higher-level animal can easily do, computers are very difficult to do.

For example, in image recognition, a grayscale circle on paper can be seen as a ball by humans, and a computer can only see a ball of pixels, such as holding a glass of water as thin as a cicada's wings without breaking it, such as walking in complex terrain, such as tracking the position and orientation of an object......

In this regard, human beings are even far inferior to some animals, and I am afraid that a mouse is a hundred times more powerful than the most advanced computer in the world.

So what exactly is a human being? How are they different from animals?

Or is it that humans are no different? But just one of the many animals?

As Occam's razor theory says, don't add entities unless you need to.

Truth is often the simplest and does not require many qualifications.

If humans can't prove that they're different from other animals, then humans aren't any different from other animals.

There is a rather caustic and extreme saying that humans are just a type of ape, a hairless ape, and call humans "naked apes".

Why did humans evolve into humans? Because the naked ape calls itself a man.

From the perspective of the estate, human beings can only be regarded as a species that has only completed "intermediate domestication".

When the domestication of the tigers is completed, they are basically the same as the current humans.

Is it possible to think that the resources of the brain are limited, and that each species has a different evolutionary direction and a different direction of distribution for the brain? Most animals allocate their brain resources to greater motor ability, body coordination, and more agile reactions.

And humans are just lucky enough to evolve the direction with the highest bonus - intelligence?

After all, if you have high intelligence, you can be a mage, and mages are all sons.

Tigers, bears, rats, etc., in the process of evolution, seem to have changed to other professions, becoming warriors, assassins, rangers......

It's just that the data in this world is unbalanced, and the intelligence bonus is one point and ten points?

So the human beings, who can't carry it on their shoulders and can't lift it in their hands, have become the overlords of this world?

So, how do you complete the domestication from a tiger to a tiger man?

In fact, it doesn't matter what form or shape the tiger is, just like the strange manor creatures, even the stone man and the wood man.

The only problem is intelligence.

So what exactly does intelligence relate to?

As Zhuang Beiyuan thought just now, human intelligence should come at the expense of other abilities.

For example, walking upright sacrifices the steadiness of walking, and the speed of running allows the human brain to be in a higher, safer, and more easily larger position.

But this is only a process, not a necessary reason.

So what's the difference between humans and tigers?

First, genes. At present, humans have understood 52 genes related to intelligence, and tigers should also have genes that determine their intelligence.

Second, brain volume, the bigger the head, the more brain cells there are in some ways – but there are also a lot of glial cells in the brain that are just responsible for support, so brain volume doesn't determine everything. This is like a computer chip, under the same process, the chip area is larger, and the performance can be improved.

Third, the complexity of the connection of the synapses in the brain, the human brain, is a combination of soft and hard, and the synapses of nerve cells are not only the core of computing, but also the algorithm and memory. At this point, the human brain should be much more complex than the tiger's. This is like a chip of the same size, one is a 7nm process, the other is a 48nm process, and the speed and power consumption are naturally far apart.

Fourth, study. Human intelligence is also trainable, and the same is true for tigers.

In fact, the entire primary domestication is based on learning.

After domestication, Zhuang Buyuan discovered that the intelligence of the tiger had begun to approach that of a child of four or five years old.

But the end of primary domestication means that this stage has reached its limit.

The next step is to do it in other ways.

Zhuang is not far from the park in Tiger Mountain, and has been observing the interaction between all the tigers and tourists.

He found that several tigers were exceptionally smart.

The great power of the Hushan literary route is one of the typical ones.

"How old is Dawei?" Zhuang asked Director Ke next to him.

Director Ke checked the records: "It's four years old." ”

"It's time to find a wife for it."

Then Zhuang looked not far away and looked at Gou Gou, who was playing intimately with Xiao Ming in Tiger Mountain: "Gou Gou is also a little tiger, let's find a new wife for it......"

These tigers probably don't know that their mating rights have been allocated like this.

……

A pleasant weekend is always easy to pass.

A lot happened this weekend.

For example, there is gossip on the Internet that a mentally abnormal man actually took the initiative to provoke a tiger and was bitten by a tiger. Although Wufeng Wildlife Park vehemently denied this, the zoo was only open for two hours that day before closing for the second time this weekend.

For this reason, Wufeng was almost scolded as a tuoxiang.

For example, the respondent who was forced to answer the high vote for Almighty Manor revised his answer, saying that the performance of Almighty Zoo is now beyond his imagination, and he still needs to observe more......

On this day, Shi Haifei played Tiger Mountain back and forth more than ten times, and the tigers in each route annoyed him.

Shi Haifei is actually a person who likes animals very much, but he has been restraining himself before, liking animals in a better and more scientific way, and turning his little love for animals into a big love for the whole world.

But everyone has a willful child in their hearts, and the Almighty Zoo has allowed Shi Haifei to find his childish side.

But a scientist is a scientist after all, and after playing Tiger Mountain more than ten times, he found that the time was not yet noon, and he felt that something was wrong.

It's not the right time!

If nothing else, all the time he spent at the zoo was videotaped.

And by now, he's recorded 15 hours of footage!

Less than four hours have passed!

How is this possible?

Then, he went back to Xucheng University, found a few high-precision clocks, and ran back to observe.

"The Almighty Zoo has cats! I'm going to put it to the test, brothers, and I'm probably going to be a physicist in the future! When I find out, I'll come back and update the answers. ”

Then he vanished, not knowing what he had found.

But none of this means anything to Xiao Chen's family of four.

On Monday morning, Xiao Chen got up early, intending to drag his son out of bed.

Every Monday, my son was reluctant to get out of bed, and he had to wait until the last minute to get up.

But as soon as she came out of the bedroom door today, she saw that her son was already dressed and sitting on the sofa: "Mom, Mom, hurry up and send me to school!" ”

Today, every student has to describe the animals they observe to their classmates, and my son played with Gougou for a day yesterday and can't wait to share his joy with his classmates today.

Seeing his son's rare and untired study, Xiao Chen was overjoyed, and suddenly felt that his previous efforts were worth it.

When I arrived at the school, I finally looked forward to class, and the students took the stage in turn to explain what they had seen and heard.

This weekend was really hard for most of the students.

On Saturday, I went to Wufeng Safari Park, but the zoo was closed.

On Saturday I went to Wufeng again...... Then Wufeng closed again!

The first to take the stage was a little girl, who observed a little rabbit.

The second little boy to come on stage, observing hamsters.

The third little boy on stage observed the chickens.

The fourth little boy on stage observed the lobster.

The fifth little girl on stage was observing her father.

Sixth ...... Seventh ......

The teacher's face was a little unbearable, and he asked again and again, "Students, haven't you observed other animals?" Like giant pandas, big tigers, etc.? ”

Xiao Ming hurriedly raised his hand high: "Teacher, me!" I! ”

After being named by the teacher, Xiao Ming came to the stage and said excitedly: "This week, the animal I observed is a tiger......

"On the first day, my mother and I went to the Almighty Zoo and met a little tiger named Gougou, who took us to see a lot of animals......"

The teacher was smiling and listening at first, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong, how did it feel like a fairy tale?

"Xiao Ming, please don't lie!"

"I didn't lie, the next day, we went to the zoo again, and my hook grew up and became such a big tiger, and I had children......"

"Xiao Ming!"

"Teacher?"

"Get out of here!"
