13 A way out
"Why? Is there any other way to save us Trisolarans?" the Trisolaran's tone became a little hurried.
The topic ended briefly and started again, and now in the laboratory, all the Trisolarans are focused on the holographic translator in front of the cultivation tank, and only the entered Trisolarans are still continuing their work.
Even the three-body people in the supervision department also paid attention to Bailong.
"Before discussing this topic, I would like to use the topic just now as a starting point, and I hope you will not find me verbose. ”
"We're patient, and you can explain your ideas in as much detail as possible, whether it's feasible or not. The three-body man said seriously.
"I'm sure you can tell whether my argument is feasible or not, and let's continue with the topic just now, I just asked a question, which is more complicated, the computing system owned by the human brain or the Zhizi?
"It's the latter, no doubt. The Trisolarans affirmed: "The earthlings simply can't understand how much effort we Trisolarans have put in to develop such a great technology, and our answer just now is based on the fact that human thinking is 'transparent' and 'unobservable', and now that this statement has been proved to be false, this question naturally has a clear answer." ”
"So suppose that if you succeed in understanding the mechanism of human brain movement, is it easier to create an artificial brain with all the functions of the human brain than it is to make a smart son?"
"Absolutely. The Trisolaranist affirmed: "As long as the database is successfully established, this technology will not be difficult for us, and we can even use the data to simulate the exchange of pheromones between synapses!"
"So let's imagine a scenario, suppose you simulate the mechanism of the human brain to transmit information, and successfully create an artificial brain made of machinery, suppose there is a way to connect this artificial brain to a real human brain, and if the artificial brain does not cause rejection, can this person's thinking be applied to two brains?"
"Sounds like no problem, if pheromone connections can really handle it well. ”
"Is it possible to handle it?"
"I guess we need an intermediary translation system. After some discussion, the Trisolaran said: "It can accept pheromones from the human brain and convert them into other signals to input into the artificial brain." ”
"So now let's move on to the next step, there is a clever surgeon, and when this connection is established, the living human brain is divided into various parts of the body in turn, and the connecting nerves of these parts are connected to the artificial brain, so that the artificial brain can replace the function of these parts. Finally, the most critical part is to gradually reduce the supply of nutrients to the original human brain and make the original human brain suffer from chronic necrosis, so that in the end, the artificial brain you made will successfully replace the function of the original brain of this person. ”
“...... It's not technically hard to implement, so what's the point?"
"Of course it makes sense, the essence of human memory and thinking is the flow of pheromones, so when the signal flows between the two brains, people's thinking will gradually transfer to the artificial brain, and in the process of the old brain gradually dying, this transfer will be further accelerated, until all thinking and memory activities are transferred to the artificial brain, is this essentially a soul transfer?
If we take out this artificial brain at this time and attach it to a robotic body......"
"Wait a minute. The three-body man suddenly stopped, he realized something, and his voice trembled from the translator: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Why don't the Trisolarans abandon their biological forms and transfer their civilization to other carriers that are easier to survive in the universe, such as robots. Bai He smiled weirdly: "You see, this is not difficult for you to do now...... If your body is like a robot that can survive from the boiling point to the freezing point, why bother to gamble on dehydration as soon as it arrives in the era of chaos?
Even if you want to escape the hellish environment of the Trisolar, the machine has no need for air, no need for food, only energy and materials, and can survive in space. Even if you need to build a base, you can find a target in a stable star system not far from the three-body galaxy, only a planet with mineral resources is enough, and you don't need to consider the natural environment and atmosphere at all, do you need to run a few light years away to compete with the earthlings for living space?"
Airplanes~
After a brief silence, an explosion sounded from the lab.
Colorful light continued to bloom from the three-body people in the laboratory, and the three-body people continued to make sounds while glowing, and the originally orderly order in the laboratory exploded, and it seemed that even the supervision department had given up control of the order and fell into hysterical debate.
"No, you madman! This is not the right path! You are exterminating the Trisolarans!" a Trisolarandian rushed to the simultaneous translator and said excitedly to Bai He.
"Calm down. Bai He smiled even more strangely: "The biggest problem faced by the Trisolarans is that the natural conditions are too harsh to survive. Isn't it the same way of thinking to adapt to the environment as opposed to finding a suitable natural environment? At least according to what I said, you can get rid of the threat of these three home planets as quickly as possible, and you don't have to worry about your new home, isn't that right?"
"But is the Trisolaran, who has lost his body, still a Trisolaran?" another scientist-like Trisolaranist squeezed away the person in front of him, his tone very calm.
"Before you face this question, you should first ask yourself, what is your perception of yourself, is it your consciousness, is it just your body, and if one day your body dies but your soul remains, do you think your own state is alive or dead?"
"No, neither of them is a complete me!"
"This is your idea, but I personally think that the concept of life tends to be conscious rather than physical, after all, without the consciousness of physical existence, I still have the ability to think and self-knowledge, and what is the difference between losing consciousness and only existing in the physical body, and dying?" Bai He laughed, he looked at the arguing Trisolara, and then at the Trisolaranous in front of the communicator: "I'm sure many people in this room think differently from you. I'm sorry I can't read it, but can you see what they're thinking?"
"To solve the existential crisis, you only need to conquer the earth!" said the Trisolaran.
"Oh, is it? Earthlings really don't have much strength to resist you," Bai He looked directly into the eyes of the three-body man, "But you are really not afraid of the laws of the dark forest? As long as you loosen your control over humans a little, all you need is a fish that slips through the net to ruin all your efforts! Are you really so confident?"
"Wait!The Law of the Dark Forest?Where did you hear that??No one told you!"
Bai He ignored the three-body man's questioning, and continued to say:
"Think about it, even if the Trisolarans win in the end, it will only be those conquerors who will reach the earth in the future, and what will you get? How many resources do you need to form a space fleet? How many constant epochs of production do you need to be able to scrape together the tickets for the next voyage? At that time, will you still survive the chaotic epochs again and again? What if it is a disaster of the magnitude of the four-star alignment? The last time he tore this planet into two halves, one big and one small, what about the next time?
How many years do you need to develop before you can talk about so-called civilization again? Do you think you are so lucky that you were not swallowed up by the stars before conquering Earth?
And if you do what I planned, what will you gain?! Solving the existential crisis is only the beginning! The soul is free from the bondage of the body, and the first thing you will gain is the almost eternal infinite time brought about by technology! It is not the so-called 'living' in the frozen warehouse! As long as the energy and maintenance are in place, the consciousness of a three-body person can exist almost infinitely! Until the end of the universe! And what you have lost is only the carrier of consciousness as 'life'!
What is there to cherish about this body? It is fragile! You have worked so hard to protect him, but you still cannot guarantee that you will survive every chaotic era! Even if you are lucky enough to survive to the eternal era, you will have to pay all your labor to survive the next chaotic era!
This body has given you only the fatigue and pain of struggling to survive, the fear and despair of facing death all the time, and you have not enjoyed much of the benefits that it is supposed to give you!
He did give birth to the civilization of the Three-Body Human, but the Three-Body Civilization does not necessarily have to rely on this fragile body to exist! He is just a dangerous, painful and unstable cradle, for the sake of freedom and survival, what should he not abandon?
What's more, you are so sure that the three-body civilization that has changed the form and carrier of existence must be unacceptable to you? Oh~ There seems to be something wrong with you. ”
In the midst of Shirakawa's speech, there was a sudden upheaval in the laboratory.
The shrill siren sounded suddenly, and the three-body man who was sitting in front of the recorder suddenly rushed to the door, and a guard shot him continuously from behind with a strange-looking weapon, and the three-body man kept moving, and soon disappeared completely.
"Chase him!" he divulged the secret!" The lab fell silent for a moment, and everyone rushed out, leaving only one guard in the lab.
The room was quiet again.
