Chapter 1 "Recipes"
What is the proof of man's existence in this world?
Is it breathing? Is it a heartbeat? Is it an event? Neither. The reason why people are able to realize that they exist in this world is nothing more than consciousness and memory, memory tells you that you once existed, and consciousness tells you the present and future.
With the continuous development of society. People are no longer satisfied with solving the problem of food and clothing, but more is the pursuit of spiritual civilization enjoyment, some of them have a large amount of wealth accumulation, spiritual enjoyment is also at their fingertips, they live an enviable life, and the fly in the ointment is that they are more than half a hundred years old, no amount of money can not compete with birth, old age, sickness and death, in the unknown day, maybe ten years, maybe next year, or even tomorrow, they will disappear in this world forever, so, eternal life has become their crazy pursuit.
Mr. Li Yonglin is one of them, Zeus International Intelligent Electronics Co., Ltd. under his name, is an artificial intelligence production and research and development enterprise, a large listed company, with assets of tens of billions, the main products include smart home appliances, aerospace intelligent control systems, intelligent machinery and full-time nanny robots. Li Yonglin has a very deep understanding of artificial intelligence, it can be said that it is at the world's leading level, he firmly believes that artificial intelligence will have unimaginable leaps and bounds in the next few years, artificial intelligence will change the way of life and even the way of survival of human beings, as long as the funds and talents are in place, it is not impossible to use artificial intelligence to obtain human immortality.
Li Yonglin spent a lot of money to convene a large number of leading figures in various fields at home and abroad, including Professor Han Zhengxian, an expert in brain tissue, Sassmark, an expert in brain waves, Zhenichi Takai, an expert in human structure, Jack, a biology expert, and experts in various fields involved in related research, even supernatural researchers, extraterrestrial biological researchers, feng shui masters, etc., who established a secret base in the company's R&D department to carry out human research, and formulated a plan that may affect the future of mankind, called the "Eternal Life Project".
At the beginning of the project, experts formulated a series of envisionary plans to simulate human brain waves in various states, and make simulated brain waves released to achieve the purpose of normal human brain operation; Study the genes that control human aging, and control the elimination of aging genes through genetic recombination; Make artificial organs to replace all organs and tissues of the human body to achieve the purpose of never aging organs. Researchers have spent a lot of money and experience to test the feasibility of these solutions, but these solutions have all failed. Professor Han Zhengxian has a more daring idea, he has been committed to studying the connection and role between neurons in the brain tissue before the "Immortality Project", he took mice as the experimental object, and found that any subtle reaction that occurs in the body, whether it is organic or mental, will be reflected in the brain, and the manifestation of the response is the increase or decrease of neurons, the change of synapses and the different connections formed by them, and the part of the brain tissue that is in charge of memory when the new memory occurs, There will be new synaptic connections to form multiple neurons, and the shape of the previous memory and the number of neurons represent different memories, just as the different arrangements of genes and the loss of memory mean the disappearance or direct coverage of some neurons, and the different external manifestations of different axonal dendrites are a truth, and the body is originally the same substance, and different permutations and combinations form different human races.
Professor Han's research has made some progress before, but to prove that this research is still applicable to humans, animal research alone is far from enough, and a large number of human live experiments are required, and it is officially because he cannot find human subjects, which has led to his research has been in a state of stagnation.
For a scholar, it is difficult to find a living human body to experiment, but for a business tycoon, as long as he understands the assistant and contacts a few organizations with relatively large dark forces, it is simply easy to find a few live experiments. Soon a full hundred live test specimens came to the base, with the same proportion of men, women and children, and they were labeled 001-100 respectively. Most of them volunteered to get a lot of money, but there are also fugitives, human trafficking, and thrill-seeking twisters in dark web organizations.
Soon, the research team led by Professor Han made a breakthrough, after nearly two years of research experiments, they drew a complete set of neuronal maps, and successfully developed a simulation material to replace human brain tissue, as long as the artificial brain can be connected to the intelligent body and activate the neuroelectronic permeabilization membrane stimulation, an artificial intelligence body with human memory and consciousness will be born and live forever, and human immortality will be realized.
However, the experiment encountered a new problem, how to combine the artificial brain with the intelligent body and make the brain respond to a series of stimuli obtained by the agent and issue corresponding instructions has become a difficult problem for experts to overcome.
Different from Li Yonglin's busy work state every day, Li Yonglin's only son Li Si enjoys the privilege of being a rich second generation, and his daily life is to make friends and drag race, drink and show off his wealth, or accompany his girlfriend to go shopping and travel, money is nothing more than a string of numbers that can never be reduced, and enjoying life is the only task after he was born.
There are two brothers in the urban-rural junction only a few dozen kilometers away from the city, the old is more than 50 years old, he is an honest farmer, he has planted a lifetime of land, and the first two years to catch up with the demolition, the family's land and two old houses have been expropriated, replaced by a small three-room building, this time there is no economic source, Yu Fu started a small business selling vegetables on the street, anyway, it is enough to eat enough, if the province can save a few hundred yuan every month. Yu Fu has a son, named Yu Ruhai, working as a repairman in a repair shop not far from home, almost thirty is not married, girlfriend has been in place for a few years, and when it comes to talking about marriage, the woman's parents dislike Yu Ruhai's poor family and have no ability, and they are forcibly broken up, I heard that the woman recently had a blind date with good conditions, this time Yu Ruhai couldn't stand it, and the class didn't go up to the woman's house to make trouble, and finally the woman's family reported to the police before it stopped, and the spirit was a little wrong after coming back. The second Yugui is in his forties, he has been hanging out with a gang of gangsters when he was young, he has no daughter-in-law and no job, and he returned home five years ago and has been living with his brother. Although these two brothers are not twins, they look alike, coupled with the invasion of so many years, both of them seem vicissitudes of life compared to their peers, and the age difference is not so obvious, they are more similar.
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is the day to receive the God of Wealth, no matter which class of society will prepare a table of good dishes to welcome the arrival of the God of Wealth, Yu Fu asked his daughter-in-law to open a table of meals to invite his cousin's family to his house to drink and eat, Yu Gui's friends outside the mix to find Yu Gui to go to the city restaurant to eat, everyone is nothing more than to drink, brag, and then find a young lady in a small alley, Yu Gui bragged about first-class skills, and also liked to go to this kind of occasion, so he readily agreed. But bragging also has to have capital, Yu Gui looked around and fell in love with his cousin's newly bought car, but he knew that with his usual style, his cousin would not lend him the car, so Yu Gui asked Yu Fu to help, and asked Yu Fu to find an excuse to borrow the car.
A few friends drank and bragged about it, but Yu Gui didn't listen to his brother at all, he got drunk and drank until two or three o'clock in the morning, and then drove home. Yu Gui's head is not clear, his eyes are also blurry, his hands and feet do not obey the call, I don't know how long he has been in a daze, he opened his eyes and saw a person squatting on the side of the road not far in front of him, Yu Gui hurriedly hit the steering wheel, but the more he turned the car, the more he drove in the direction of that person, in the blink of an eye, the car had already hit the person, until the body was bumpy, Yu Gui's wine was also half awake, he was panicked in his heart, and no one around him even dared to stop the car, so he drove away directly, and then looked back, the road was already blood-red......
Yu Gui drove the car home, didn't dare to say anything, changed his clothes and fled. Before dawn, the police had already found Yu Fu's house, and saw a big pit in the front of the vehicle that caused the accident, with a little bloodstains, and took out the photos taken by the surveillance camera, which were no different from Yu Fu, Yu Fu was confused and didn't know what was going on, only to hear the police ask if the car was borrowed by him, Yu Fu replied yes, and asked if the clothes were his, he also replied yes, and arrested Yu Fu.
The deceased was Li Yonglin's only son, Li Si, who was drinking in a bar with a group of friends that day, and squatted on the side of the road to vomit after drinking too much.
Li Yonglin was very sad, the pain of losing a child will never know how difficult it is without experiencing it, he is immersed in pain all day long, he doesn't want to have tea and dinner, people have lost a lot of weight, and the company has no energy to take care of it, so he handed it over to his nephew for temporary management. Li Yonglin hates Yu Fu very much, and the only motivation that can support him to survive now is to let Yu Fu lose his life no matter how much it costs, as long as he is willing to spend money, it is easy to turn a case of drunken and run-and-run into a case of vicious premeditated intentional homicide.
Here Yu Fu realized what happened, it must have been his younger brother who hit someone with a car, because the two people looked like the police to catch the wrong person, he thought that he could go home after explaining to the police for a while. Yu Gui didn't know where to drag the relationship, so he went through the back door and said that he was sending something to his brother, and he met Yu Fu. When Yu Gui saw Yu Fu, she said a word, she said, "Brother, you hit the person, but don't worry, this crime will go back without sentencing and paying some money, don't worry about your nephew's marriage, I have a way." Yu Fu thought that his younger brother could have a way to solve his biggest heart disease, and it was a great good thing, what did it matter if he carried this little thing for his younger brother, so he admitted that he was indeed hit by him.
Yu Fu never expected that on the day of the trial, a small hit-and-run case turned into a premeditated murder case, and when the death penalty was announced, Yu Fu suddenly fainted with weak legs.
Li Yonglin was extremely happy when he heard the result of the execution, he had never laughed for so many days since his son's death, and it was not until this moment that he laughed from the heart for the first time. It is said that good things come in pairs, Li Yonglin received another phone call, it was Professor Han who called, and the immortality plan has achieved further success, they have weakened the current through special means, created imitation membrane electrons, and interfered with the primary electrons, so as to achieve the effect of neuroelectronic membrane stimulation, as long as this electron is passed into the artificial brain, this brain is alive, it has the memory and consciousness of the original brain, as long as it is connected with the agent, an immortal person exists in this world. Two-thirds of the way through the experiment, the final success is within reach.
Li Yonglin suddenly thought of something, he hurried to the secret base and found Professor Han, he wanted to make his son's brain into an artificial brain, as long as the plan was successful, the artificial brain planted with his son's memory and consciousness would be connected to the body, then Li Si would become the world's first immortal. After months of neuronal reduction and map encoding, Professor Han and others made a simulated brain tissue, and Li Si's artificial brain was finally completed.
At the same time, the day of Yu Fu's execution was also coming, and the last day was allowed to meet with his family, and he was executed by lethal injection at 4:10 p.m. Yu Fu's face was expressionless, he went from fear to despair to numbness at the beginning, and what he has experienced in the past few months is unimaginable to ordinary people. He looked up at the sky, it was gray and hazy, and he thought that he would never see the blue sky of his hometown again in his life. Yu Gui didn't go to see his brother for the last time, he didn't know how to face his brother, after all, no one expected that things would develop to this point. Yu Fu's mother cried silently, she made her son's favorite braised pork, Yu Fu ate fragrant on the surface, but in fact it tasted like chewing wax. Yu Fu's daughter-in-law cried and said to her old man: "You can go with confidence, my son and Yinghui have already received the certificate, it was Yu Gui who threatened Yinghui's parents with a knife, and killed their whole family if they didn't hand over the household registration book to get the certificate, her parents were afraid and had to agree, Yu Gui, this kid has not done anything good in his life, but this time he has done a big thing, and it can be regarded as a contribution to our family." Yu Fu listened to the mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't help but shed tears, and he couldn't say anything.
Before half past four, the prison guard pushed a body covered with a white cloth out, Yu Fu's family had already made countless mental preparations, but the moment they saw the body, they still couldn't cry, Yu Fu's old mother fainted directly from crying. In the village, this kind of thing is an unsightly thing, took away the body, Yu Fu's family wanted to be buried secretly the next day, but that night, someone came over to spend a million to buy Yu Fu's body, Yu Fu's daughter-in-law is a poor farmer born and raised, where has she seen so much money, although Yu Fu has been dependent on himself for so many years, but after all, he is dead, if he has this money to buy a big house for his son, he and his son can live a better life, so she sold the body without telling her mother-in-law, leaving only an empty coffin for burial.
It is conceivable that it was Li Yonglin who bought Yu Fu's body, he was unwilling to let Yu Fu die like this, he felt that such a punishment was far from enough, he wanted Yu Fu to live in darkness and pain forever, just like he is now. Li Yonglin wants to make Yu Fu's artificial brain, and the artificial brain is connected to the membrane electronic stimulation, so that Yu Fu's memory and consciousness will be restarted, and then strengthen the stimulation of the memory of fear before death, so that Yu Fu can regain consciousness and keep recalling the terrifying memories before death, but he can't do anything, and has been living in the boundless world of darkness and fear, which is also Li Yonglin's biggest revenge on Fu.
Not long after Yu Fu's artificial brain was stimulated by electronic permeabilization, Li Yonglin died of physical exhaustion. Li Yonglin's nephew was in charge of the entire enterprise, but he didn't know that there was such a secret research base, and it didn't take long for the lack of funds to make the experiment unsuccessful, and the professors did not dare to make the results of this unethical experiment public, and the immortality plan was terminated.
Hundreds of years have passed since humans reached the point of total non-aging by taking one biologic agent every day. At this time, human beings have to sign an agreement when they become adults, and the human body will no longer age when taking biological agents, and if a man and woman want to conceive a new life when they get married, one of the two people must take the medicine until the age of 200 to stop taking the drug and die naturally, if they don't want to conceive a new life, they can keep taking the medicine for a long time.
During an excavation for the construction of a large-scale, fully automated living center underground, a research base was accidentally discovered, and two artificial brains enclosed in glass attracted people's attention. Through the functional test of the two artificial brains by the researchers, it was found that the two artificial brains were produced 700 years ago, one artificial brain belonged to a 20-year-old young man, and the neurons had no electron flow and belonged to a dormant state, while the other belonged to a 50-year-old middle-aged man, the neuron had an electron flow and was always in an active state, which shows how tormenting and painful it is to survive in the dark for more than 700 years.
Contemporary technology to put these two artificial brains into intelligent organisms, reawakening the brain is no longer how difficult it is, the media reported that this discovery caused a great sensation, the artificial intelligence association, the human rights organization association, the political department also participated in the discussion, whether to reawaken the two artificial brains to resurrect there are differences, yes or no, who can decide the fate of two innocent people?
So how do you choose? Is it to die forever or to live forever?
