Chapter 288: Brain in a Jar

"But are they willing?"

He looked at Xiao Li silently, "You forgot, after closing the wormhole, the photon can't be recovered, and the photon ......." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

He didn't say it later, because he knew that Xiao Li understood.

"The photons that can't be recovered are replaced with a result that I don't know if it will appear...... How do I feel like our federal government has done something stupid. ”

"But ......."

He said this, but he would not dismiss the resolution, the photon is the common wealth of mankind, and Xiao is the wealth of Huaxia, he is the chairman of Huaxia first, and then the chairman of the Earth Federation.

He looked at Xiao Li with a complicated face, this genius was born out of thin air, raising the overall scientific and technological level of the earth, and such a life is in the same era, it is lucky but also unfortunate.

Luckily, he can witness the rise of civilization on Earth, and unfortunately, whoever it is, will be overshadowed by his light.

He is the symbol of the times, representing this era, and the people of later generations will talk about him when they talk about this era, and they will only talk about him.

"But photons aren't the only ones." Xiao Li replied very calmly, "There are two photons on the earth, one is being studied by our scientists, and the other is being manipulated by the lizard civilization and is paying attention to the earth. ”

"The loss of a photon can be replaced with the photon of the lizard civilization, but there is only one chance to unravel the grandmother's paradox."

"Will they?"

"If you don't want to, you have to be willing." Xiao Li said expressionlessly: "When they attacked the Earth Federation and surrendered when the war failed, we considered that our own strength was not as good as the lizard civilization, so we accepted it." ”

"But it's different now."

"Now that the Earth Federation has comprehensively surpassed the lizard civilization in science and technology, how can it be so good to surrender if defeated and then enjoy the benefits brought by the scientific and technological progress of our civilization."

"You want to tear up the agreement between us and the Lizard Civilization?" The chairman was silent, tearing up an agreement with a civilization, especially a technologically advanced civilization, even he never thought of it.

"Not tearing up." Xiao Li said with a smile: "It's just that there are objections, after all, their conditions are no longer appropriate at this time, didn't Germany shout the slogan of redividing the world during World War II?" I think it can be referred to as a reference, the land given to the lizard civilization can be moved from Africa to Mars, anyway, the solar system is already the solar system of our earth, and Mars is also part of our earth. ”

“……。”

The chairman looked at Xiao Li speechlessly, black, really black, can Africa be the same as Mars? No matter how bad and desolate Africa is, it is also the earth, and it can live in people, but what is Mars? On a planet where life can't even be born, zoning the lizard civilization to Mars is tantamount to driving the lizardmen away.

"Of course, these are negotiable." Xiao Li said again: "For example, give us the photon for study." ”

After looking at Xiao Li for a long time, the chairman sighed, "Black." ”

"Where is it dark? I'm obviously white. Xiao Li grinned, revealing his white teeth, "Brush your teeth with Colgate, your teeth are white and white!" ”

Restrained his smile, Xiao Li's voice turned calm, "Besides, I gave them a choice, and they were willing, how can they blame me?" ”

Do you want to? The chairman looked at Xiao Li speechlessly, either hand over the photon or go to Mars to live, this is called 'I am willing'? Oh, by the way, there is a third way, which is to refuse, and then wander through the cosmic space, and finally be swallowed up by darkness.

"What if you provoke them to go to war?"

"They don't have that idea." Xiao Li sneered, "There won't be, and it's impossible to use it,"

"Because if I can beat them once, I can beat them a second time."

"It's not as good now as it was then, and they can't afford to lose."

"Forget it, you defeated the Lizard Civilization." The chairman shook his head, having this in the Earth Federation is simply a nightmare for the lizard civilization.

"I'll give orders for the various departments to cooperate with you, but it will take some time."

"I understand." Of course, Xiao Li knows that this kind of thing is not just an order, all aspects must be coordinated, otherwise good things will turn bad, "I just need to relax a little bit, and by the way, introduce my new friend to the Earth Federation." ”

……

Five days later, Xiao Li took care of everything and returned to Earth in a spaceship.

"This is the imperial capital."

Xiao Li got down from the cosmic airport and introduced the imperial capital to a tour guide to the white queen Emma, "The imperial capital is the capital of our China, which originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it has 7 world heritage sites, making it the city with the largest number of world cultural heritage sites in the world. ”

"It looks like the X-Men world, but there's a lot of difference." White Queen Emma glanced up at the runway intertwined with green lines in the air, and asked Xiao Li, "What is that?" ”

"Virtual runways, hovercar runways, anti-gravity lanes, or flying runways, you name it." Xiao Li replied with a smile, "It is controlled by artificial intelligence and mainly exists in the low-altitude domain, providing a passage for some anti-gravity sports cars. ”

"But I'm bringing you here to introduce the Earth Federation, so let's go!"

Xiao Li led the White Queen Emma to the streets of the imperial capital, the imperial capital in general, there have been no earth-shaking changes, in fact, any city, assuming that it is not a post-disaster reconstruction, then there can be no earth-shaking changes, after all, demolishing old buildings is a very wasteful thing, especially in a city like the imperial capital.

The two walked on the street, like aimless young men pressing the road, pressing the road at will, and suddenly, Emma, the white queen, stopped, and her beautiful eyes looked at the billboard.

"The virtual game Minecraft is about to be released, the first virtual game in history to be 100% realistic, bringing you a shocking gaming experience."

"Virtual games?" Xiao Li was also taken aback.

"You don't know about virtual games?" White Queen Emma glanced at Xiao Li strangely, she didn't know that virtual games were normal, because she was not from the Earth Federation, but it was a little strange that Xiao Li, the people of the Earth Federation, didn't know about virtual games.

"I really don't know." Xiao Li shook his head, "At least when I left the Earth Federation to go to the world of X-Men, there was no news of virtual games...... When did the virtual game actually appear. ”

Xiao Li rubbed his chin, looked at the billboard carefully, and then found a familiar sign, "It's actually a virtual game developed by Weilan Group, I'll ask!" ”

He casually summoned a robot that was cleaning and sweeping the floor, and said to her, "Help me contact Mr. Weilan of Weilan Group." ”

The robot's eyes released red light and swept over Xiao Li's body, and then a cold mechanical voice came out, "The identity scan is complete, and Mr. Weilan is being connected." ”

But after a while, the red light intertwined in front of Xiao Li.

"Hi, Shaw." Wei Lan greeted Xiao Li with a young face, "Long time no see." ”

"It's been a long time." Xiao Li smiled, "Wei Lan, what's the matter with the virtual game?" Has our technology reached the point where we can read brain waves? ”

"Absolutely." Wayland explained, "Do you remember the floating neuron connections you gave me? Virtual games are built on this technology. ”

"We convert brain waves into data by reading brain waves and transmit them to the server, and then use the server to convert the data into brain waves and transmit them to the human brain, creating virtual signals to deceive the brain senses and giving people the illusion that I am playing a game."

"Brain in a Jar!"

Xiao Li was taken aback, the brain in the jar was Hillary. Putnam hypothesized that in 1981 Hillary Clinton. In his book Reason, Truth and History, Putnam proposes a hypothesis: "A man (assuming yourself) has been operated on by an evil scientist, and his brain has been cut off from his body and placed in a vat containing a nutrient solution that keeps the brain alive. The nerve endings of the brain are connected to a computer, which is programmed to send information to the brain in order to keep it hallucinating that everything is completely normal. ”

For him, it seems that people, objects, and the sky still exist, and his own movements and body sensations can be input. This brain can also be fed or intercepted (the memory of the brain surgery is intercepted, and then the various environments and daily life that he may experience are entered). ”

"He can even be coded and 'feel' that he himself is reading an interesting and ridiculous text here."

"Yes, it's the brain in the jar." Wei Lan said: "The principle of virtual games is similar to that of the brain in a vat, which is to use false signals to deceive the human brain, so that the human body has an illusion, in which the sky, the earth, the mountains and rivers and even the whole world are real. ”

"That's why this game is called Minecraft."

Sure enough, it's a brain in a jar.

Xiao Li gasped, "Wei Lan, you are really a genius. “

Isn't he a genius to be able to develop a virtual game based on floating neuron connection technology? He finally understood why Wayland's enterprises could reach the point of a monopoly plutocracy in the world of "Prometheus", and that Wayland was an out-and-out genius, not only in business, but also in scientific and technological research.

"Thanks for the compliment." Wei Lan became interested, and he continued to talk and scold Fang Xuan, "But the brain-in-a-jar virtual game is not my goal, although I say that he is a 100% real virtual game in the promotion, but in the end, it is just a virtual game, and there is a big difference from the real game I imagined." ”

"A 100% realistic virtual game isn't enough to ......." Xiao Li's face became strange, "In the past, many online writers at the starting point were thinking about virtual games, and the imagination of this writer in front of me is even richer. ”

"Of course." Weilan said proudly: "The real game is not virtual, but real. ”

"I'm working on a technology called quantum memory transmission."

"As the name suggests, quantum adopts the most advanced quantum entanglement state technology at present, and transmits memories to a planet through quantum resonance, and on which planet I will build a body in advance."

"When the player transmits his memories to those bodies through quantum memory transmission technology, those bodies will activate and be manipulated by the player to play on an absolutely real planet."

"This is my real game, of course, it's still rudimentary and there are a lot of techniques to overcome, but I'm already seeing a bright future for real games."

"So what's the selling point of the real game?" Xiao Li poured a basin of cold water on the past, "It's really attractive to just let the player manipulate the body of another planet, but it's just an attraction to try, and it's difficult to keep people without follow-up means." ”

What is the selling point of the game? Fighting monsters to upgrade, casting magic fairies, and obtaining equipment to improve abilities, what you want is achievement, and what you want is to improve, but what about real games?

Fight monsters to level up? Sorry, monsters may be able to be made, but upgrades, do you really think this is a game?

Monster Killing Explosive Equipment? Don't be funny, this is the real planet, where is the equipment for you to explode.

As for magic fairy, dear, this is science, not superstition, are you sure that you are playing a real game and not a virtual game that claims to be 100% real?

Wei Lan said casually, "You can fight monsters to obtain materials, and then build spaceships, giant ships and cannons, and men's romance." ”

"It's a real game, building a giant ship...... The corner of Xiao Li's mouth twitched, how much does this cost? Are you sure that ordinary civilians play? If it can't be popularized, then what's the use of giant ship cannons and men's romance? Another game in which the rich crush the commoners.

And the rich are not ordinary rich people can play, can build a space battleship without investing billions of dollars? But who would spend billions of dollars just to play a game? The rich second-generation loser will not be such a loser.

"Forget it." Xiao Li shook his head, "Anyway, you are managing the group, and you decide the selling point of the real game yourself, by the way, bring me two virtual games, I plan to go in and have a look, the brain in the jar, I have only heard about it so far, and I have never experimented with it." ”

"Delivered right away." Wei Lan immediately agreed, and the figure slowly disappeared.

It was only at this time that Emma, the White Queen, asked, "Your technology has reached the point where it can create illusions?" ”

"It's just a deception." Xiao Li nodded, "Deceiving the brain through virtual signals is what the brain in a vat is all about. ”

"Actually, Hillary. What Putnam wants to express is that you and I are not in a state of brain in a vat now? ”

"We?"

"Yes." Xiao Li raised his finger and pointed in all directions, "The sky, the earth, the tall buildings, the whole world, the rising and sunset, and the sky full of stars, are not the virtual signals deceiving us?" All our senses, deceived by the computer's signals, we are brains in a vat. ”

"The seemingly vast universe is actually just a small water tank."

"Of course, this is Hillary. What Putnam is trying to say, as far as I am concerned, is skeptical. ”
