Chapter 360: Digital Life

With today's science and technology, it is no longer a problem to realize the so-called pluralistic world and multiverse, which is nothing more than brain-computer combination technology plus virtual universe technology.

It would be even better if we added human dormancy technology.

Virtual universe technology can open up any imaginary world and universe in the digital world, whether the world or the universe exists in reality or does not exist, as long as you think of it, it can be created in the digital world.

For example, the current games Proxima Centauri and Europa.

The former is a world built in strict accordance with reality, and all rules refer to the rules in reality; The latter is different in that it has been modified slightly in the real world, which means that it is a surreal world.

For another example, the worlds and universes described in the virtual universe technology can be built using virtual universe technology, which can be the world of cultivating immortals or the world of fighting spirit, and as long as you think about it, you can create it in the digital world.

If it is said that the virtual universe technology that creates the world and the universe in the digital world is not new, then the brain-computer combination technology directly breaks the barrier between human consciousness and the digital world.

The digital world has been in the rudiments since the advent of computers, but the digital world at this time was too simple.

After the success of brain-computer technology, human consciousness can directly enter the digital world, and the digital world can also be presented in front of human beings in a way that is familiar to human beings.

Naturally, human consciousness is free to enter the world and universe created in the digital world.

With virtual universe technology and brain-computer combination technology, it is not perfect, if you add human dormancy technology, then people can stay in the digital world, or virtual universe for a long time.

It's a good idea to use these to simulate real-world developments.

After all, since a person is born, his consciousness has been in the virtual universe, and he cannot find that the universe he is in is virtual at all.

In other words, for these people, the virtual universe is the real universe.

At this time, there is no difference between the virtual universe and the real universe, and it is even possible to simulate multiple universes on the basis of the real universe to predict the real universe.

Bao Qi was looking at everyone looking at him, thought for a while, and said, "Yes, according to the science and technology we have now, we can do this, but for the development permission of the virtual universe, to be honest, if it is not operated well, it will really bring a devastating disaster."

Su Zhe nodded and said, "There is no problem in doing these things technically, that is, this degree, if you can't grasp it well, it will indeed bring disaster.

It's like what we just eat, here, we can conjure up the food we want with just one idea, and the key thing is that it's the same as the real experience, just the food aspect, plus the rest, and it's really hard to say how it will turn out."

"Yes! If all the permissions of the virtual universe are released, it means that human nature is completely liberalized, what kind of consequences this will have, it seems that there are too many unknowns about the development of the virtual universe, and it is really difficult to say how it actually is." Xu Zhengping reminded.

Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "I think it's very good, now we need to pay more attention to the development of the virtual universe, not to mention technical predictions, but in terms of human nature and the general trend of human development, it can be simulated one or two.

Besides, the development of the virtual universe can provide different ideas for the development of the real universe, no, we also have to participate in the development of the virtual universe, and we can't just count on those people.

Besides, no matter what happens in the virtual universe, it is much easier to correct than in the real universe, and even a single idea can restore the world in the virtual universe to its original state, but the real universe is almost impossible."

The world in the virtual universe is, to put it bluntly, a bunch of data, but the real world is not.

According to his previous thoughts, the development of the virtual universe relies on those people to promote, and the development focus here is on the real universe, but now his thinking has become a little different.

Not to mention the focus of development, but to raise the importance of the development of the virtual universe to the same extent as the development of the real universe.

Zuo Dajun looked at a few people and said with a smile:

"I said you said I was pessimistic before, I think you are really pessimistic, don't you find the picture in front of you so attractive?

Do you want the scene in front of you to take place in a real universe or a virtual universe?

Seriously, as long as we don't solve the problem of distance limitations, sooner or later our universe will become what I imagined it to be.

What are we humans most afraid of? It's unknown, no matter what it is, as long as we experience it once, we can face it well.

In this way, we can experience this in advance in the virtual universe, but what should be controlled still has to be controlled, and the virtual universe can make any trouble, but the premise is that it does not affect the real world."

Seriously, if the virtual universe is really opened, even if it is a limited one, it is almost impossible to have no impact on the real world.

It can only be said that control is carried out to minimize the impact.

When Zuo Dajun said this, the picture in front of the five people became even more exciting.

What human fleets and superhuman wars.

Superhumans are able to travel freely through space, destroying human defenses in the first place.

All the warships and so big were destroyed by these savage superhumans.

In the end, humans can only rely on remotely controlled humanoid robots, or mechs, to fight against these new humans.

Relative to humans, the new humans are more powerful.

Humans rely on mechs and new humans to confront each other head-on, and both are capable of achieving five or five points in attack and defense.

But there is a big disadvantage on the human side, that is, once the mecha attacks, its life support system is persecuted, and the human mecha is basically abolished, but the new human will not.

The body of the new human is as powerful as the human mecha, and as long as the core of the new human is not destroyed, the new human will not burp.

When several people looked at the picture in front of them, it was like watching a documentary, and there was an ethereal voice explaining it on the side.

The screen flashed, and a line of large characters appeared.

In the final battle, humanity was defeated, and the new humanity became the dominant power of the galaxy, looking forward to the rise of humanity and return to the galaxy.

Seeing this line of big characters, Su Zhe and the others laughed.

"Army! Your imagination is still okay, and the picture is not bad, but this story can't stand scrutiny, and these new humans in the picture are scum in front of the SS-defense system, as long as these new humans appear in the space area covered by the SS-defense system, they will be directly named one by one." Fan Xiaoming said.

Bao Qi nodded and said, "That's the case, for these new humans, the SS-defense system is absolutely crushing, but how does this new human look like a humanoid zombie with the core of the artificial intelligence part, this you are a new human, just look like it, and the others can't be guaranteed."

Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "The definition of a noun will change with time, now we are human beings, from the body to the consciousness are defined, in a few years may not be required to make physical requirements, at that time only look at the sense of identity and culture, are new human beings, it is estimated that there is only a sense of cultural identity left, and they subconsciously think that they are human beings, as for the body or anything has long been no longer cared."

The definition of human beings is inherently modular, and it will change over time.

Su Zhe smiled all over his face, "If the human race and the new human race are really going to have a conflict, it's really hard to say what the outcome will be, before it really happens, the better one is called prediction, and the bad one is called talking on paper, and the result depends on the actual situation."

Talking on paper is always talking on paper, and there is a big difference between what actually happens.

It's like humans and new humans, humans and strong artificial intelligence.

It's really hard to say what the outcome will be if there is a conflict like this.

If it is too strong unilaterally, then there is nothing to say, if the two sides are about the same, it is different.

In this case, there are many factors that affect the outcome of the game.

Zuo Dajun smiled and said, "I admit that what I think is a bit too taken for granted, but really

There is a conflict between humans and new humans, maybe a big killer like the SS-defense system will be destroyed in the first place, these are not certain, if you really talk about it, this is really on paper, I think the virtual universe is good, we can do it again in the virtual universe."

Xu Zhengping took a sip of the tea in front of him and said, "I understand, Dajun, you said so much, just to make the virtual universe as open as possible, preferably without restrictions, so that you can use the virtual universe to predict the direction of the real world, or you want to experience such a universe, the doomsday universe."

Zuo Dajun nodded and said, "That's pretty much what it means, if only we could create digital lives that are similar to those of our human beings, we can completely use these digital lives to replace our human roles in the virtual universe, so that the development of the virtual universe will be more perfect, and there can be new human beings in such a virtual universe, with the same me as in our real universe, and people in the real world like us are just observers."

"Digital life!" Xu Zhengping said and looked at Fan Xiaoming, Su Zhe, and Bao Qizheng, smiled and said, "I remember that you have research on digital life, how is it, what are the results of your research, and is there any progress?"

"What! You have research on digital life, when did it start, I don't know." Zuo Dajun looked surprised.

"How busy you are every day, besides, what do you care about every day besides the mecha you research!" Fan Xiaoming said, "There are many scientific research teams for digital life research, and our research is normal, if you really want to say it, we started to do this research half a year ago, and as for the progress, some of it is even beyond your imagination."

While speaking, Fan Xiaoming's hand waved in front of him, and a picture appeared in front of several people, in which was a transparent sphere the size of a ping pong ball.

In the blink of an eye, the transparent sphere was divided into many parts, and with the appearance of these parts, Fan Xiaoming began to explain.

"The transparent sphere we see now is the carrier of the digital life we have created, which is quite like our human brain."

"The carrier of digital life is actually built according to the structure of the human brain, the difference is that our human brain relies on neurons, and digital life relies on optical quantum neurons."

"In terms of results, there is still a big gap between us and normal people, but it is already about the same learning ability as a four- or five-year-old child."

"I guess in a while, maybe we'll be able to create real digital life."

After listening to Fan Xiaoming's introduction, Bao Qizheng continued.

"This is to create a new digital life, which is like raising a child, which is cultivated from a young age and slowly grows up."

"There is also the reproduction of life, which is actually the reproduction of the memories of real people. Knowledge, simply understood, is fully conscious, but make no mistake, this copied digital life is similar to the copied person, but it is not the same person, they are independent individuals."

"Whether it's the former or the latter, related research is going on simultaneously, really to talk about the hardware is still a problem, light quantum neurons are not worse than our human brain neurons, but the structure of the human brain is still a mystery, although we have simulated a lot of functions, but the core part is still a mystery."

Hearing the two of them say this, Zuo Dajun opened his mouth wide, was stunned for a while, and said, "This ...... Isn't this a strong artificial intelligence, this is still a digital life, you still say me, you are creating a new human being, and you are still saying ...... Sure enough, this is the case in the real world, and I was not wrong in what I thought before, sooner or later we humans will be destroyed by our own hands."

Fan Xiaoming shook his head and said: "It depends on how you define it, in fact, it is more accurate to say that new human beings, we develop digital life is actually to improve the virtual universe, in fact, we don't need to worry so much, the consciousness of these digital lives is the same as our human beings, and the more advanced it is, the more unique it is, it is inseparable from its carrier, simply put, the consciousness of digital life is the same as that of us humans, relying on it."

It's the interaction between matter, not the data."

Su Zhe explained: "As far as the current research is concerned, the generation of consciousness is the interaction between matter, the generation of consciousness of our human beings depends on our brains, and the generation of consciousness of digital life depends on the transparent ball we see, of course, the digital life we are studying has not yet produced consciousness, and there is still a long distance from the generation of consciousness."

It is now a consensus that consciousness relies on the interaction between matter, and it is the consensus generated by many experiments and data.

At present, the research on digital life mainly relies on the simulation of the human brain.

The key to its progress is the analysis of the human brain.
