In orbit more than 10,000 kilometers from the earth, the space ranch is flying rapidly in orbit. Under the leadership of the same staff, the space ranch flew fast, and the purpose of the five of them was the space ranch breeding center.

In just a few moments, five people appeared in front of the gate of the breeding center. Looking at the gate in front of him, Zuo Dajun sighed: "It's trouble in the real world, it's a waste of time to rush for so long, it's good in the virtual universe, just think of that one teleportation." After experiencing the convenience of being in the virtual universe, he felt more and more troubled in the real world.

In the virtual universe, you don't have to be in such a hurry at all, just teleport directly, and you can conjure up what you want.

But in the real world, don't even think about it.

"Great army, it's not interesting to compare like this." Fan Xiaoming smiled,

"Besides, you can do whatever you want, that's the free space of the virtual universe, and there are certain rules for non-free space...... I feel a little dangerous like you, like you, I guess I will have to stay in the virtual universe in the future, which is not a good sign. Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "When the Internet and computers first came out, there was a talk of Internet addiction, and now the emergence of the virtual universe is the same, look at it, many people will be obsessed with the virtual universe, and the relevant departments are cautiously afraid of this." ”

"It's the people of our time period who are greatly affected by the virtual universe, and when the next generation is born, there is a virtual universe, and it doesn't matter to them." Bauchi was smiling and said,

"But this virtual universe is different from the network and computers in the past, and if you get used to life in the virtual universe, especially the kind of highly free space, it will be difficult to adapt to life in the real world." Fan Xiaoming nodded and said, "Yes!" Therefore, it is necessary to supervise and restrict, so that everyone can slowly adapt to the virtual universe...... It's almost time for us to go into the breeding center. The five of them were led by the narrator into the gate of the breeding center.

Before they had walked much in, they saw a bunch of robots surrounding twenty or thirty cows for treatment.

These are the same cattle that were seriously injured in the previous scuffle between the two herds. Su Zhe and the five people stopped and watched the robots treat these cows.

These robots move quickly, whether it's disemboweling or sewing a cow, it's all done in one go.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Dajun was surprised,

"Are all the current surgeries so good? It's still a robot! It's amazing. Fan Xiaoming said disapprerovantly: "Isn't it strange? See, there are so many tubes inserted in the cow, which is to replace the injured part for cardiopulmonary bypass, as far as the current medical technology is concerned, as long as the head is not fatally injured, that is, the brain has been irreversibly damaged, and the others can be saved as long as they do not die on the spot, besides, this cow is transparent in the eyes of these robots, and the problem can be found. "In the final analysis, it is the progress of detection technology that can have such an effect.

"I said, look at it now, as long as you don't have a serious brain injury, or die on the spot, you just can't die." Zuo Dajun smiled.

Fan Xiaoming nodded,

"That's right, with the current technology, it is not impossible to realize brain transplantation, but many technologies are limited by ethics, even if the technology is mature, it still will not be used on people." In the past year, especially in the past six months, biotechnology has also ushered in explosive development, and the supervision of biotechnology is also extremely strict.

As far as people are concerned, as long as there is no problem with the brain, other organs and other parts of the body can be replaced.

In the past, there was any immune rejection or anything, but now these are not a problem. With the current technology, the patient's cells are collected and the required organs and tissues can be directly cultivated through cell differentiation and reverse differentiation.

In other words, the study of human genes in the past six months has come to a very high level, and the expression of genes can be preliminarily controlled.

This is an organ transplant, which is still relatively traditional. It does not take a certain amount of time to use cell differentiation and reverse differentiation to culture organs and tissues, while the other is more direct and quick.

It is the direct manufacture of organs. Direct manufacturing is divided into two types because of the difference in raw materials. One is that the macromolecules from cell culture directly manufacture organs and tissues, and the other is to use industrial materials to replace organs and tissues.

For example, in the case of the human eye, the macromolecules grown from the cells of the demander can be used to make a synthetic human eye.

This method is not much different from the eyes cultured by cell differentiation and reverse differentiation, and there is no difference in mechanism and function from the original human eye.

The eyes made by using industrial materials are different, their structures are completely different, and the same is the function.

If allowed, a person could even leave only the brain, and replace all other organs and tissues with the substitution of industrial materials.

This is also known as transforming people, and for now, it is strictly forbidden. If this head is open, it will be messy.

With the current technology, if the transformation is released, there will be no difference between a person and Superman in science fiction after being transformed.

Even if the transformation is successful now, the strength cannot be sustained, and that is because of the limitation of energy.

It is certain that the transformer is powerful, but the energy consumed is also staggering. As for the current super battery, even if it is an iterative super battery, it can only maintain the high-intensity activity of that powerful transformer for two hours.

Speaking of which, this kind of transformation is also being studied by a scientific research team. Similarly, there are many research directions for this kind of human transformation, but the mainstream ones are two categories.

One is to retain all the functions of human beings and add more functions, and the other is to abandon those unnecessary functions of human beings.

For example, the absorption of bioenergy. The way people obtain energy is bioenergy, which is obtained by eating.

The former retains this ability and adds more ways to obtain energy on top of it, and the latter discards it.

If the former is still human, then the latter is just human. Of course, not daring to do the former and the latter, is in the case of preserving the brain.

As far as current research is concerned, the brain is the vehicle of consciousness. As for the transformation of the brain, to put it bluntly, the human brain is the final bottom line as a person and as the main body of consciousness, if the brain is replaced and transformed, then even if the person's memory and thinking are the same, then it is not the same person before.

Research on modified humans is still ongoing, but as it stands, after the miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion technology, this kind of modified talent can be truly powerful.

But the intensity of this kind of transformation is also limited. For this kind of transhuman, its brain is an eternal dead hole, and under normal circumstances, this kind of transhuman is no match for mecha and humanoid humanoid robots.

This is also the reason why we dare to let go and study the transformation of people. In fact, if you think about it, it is clear that transforming people is nothing more than adding a brain to the humanoid robot, which is not fundamentally different from the standard manned mecha, and it has no advantage compared with the humanoid robot.

Hearing Fan Xiaoming say this, Bao Qizheng nodded and said: "Some technical research can, but it can't be promoted, and supervision must be strengthened, otherwise I don't know what it will become, but as far as the current medical technology is concerned, as long as it is not brain dead on the spot, it can basically be saved, by the way, I heard that the research on consciousness has progressed, saying that the dominant consciousness area has been found in the brain, does that mean that as long as the independence of the consciousness area is maintained, other areas of the brain can also be replaced." Bao Qizheng said that he finally looked at Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming.

Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "The area of dominant consciousness has been found, but it has not been completely analyzed, how to look at the analysis of this area, seriously, it is still uncertain, but it is certain that we have completed the analysis of this area, and the digital life will almost be able to take shape, it is the kind of digital life that is conscious." Bao Qizheng smiled and said: "In the future, this human being is really difficult to define, whether transforming people is considered human beings, is it defined from the body or from the subjective consciousness, just like digital life, there is a human body in the virtual universe, receiving a full set of human cultural education, and living the same life as human beings, such digital life is not considered a human being, or we have defined it early, and it is only human in terms of body and subjective consciousness." Zuo Dajun shook his head and said: "Subjective consciousness will become, I think it's good to define it directly by the body, the body is a human being, that is, a human being, as for those who transform people or something, just define them directly as non-human." ”

"It's not right, the subjective consciousness can indeed be changed, but now the body can also be changed." Bauchi is saying.

Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "We still don't want to think about these headaches, anyway, it's in vain to think about it, what we have to do now is to increase the population of our human race, as long as our existing human population base is large enough, nothing else is a threat, everything else is false." Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "As long as the existing human population is large enough, the others cannot become climate, otherwise we will disappear in the long river of history." Zuo Dajun looked at the cattle that were being treated, and sighed: "After thousands of years, or more years later, the universe is estimated to become extremely lively, and there is a high probability that there will be any strange intelligent life, and it is better to get up early, anyway, the universe is big enough, and all intelligent life can let go of this development, but in the later stage, these intelligent life forms will inevitably fight each other for resources and energy, and I don't know what kind of scene it will be at that time." "With the current technology, there is no problem at all in creating a lot of strange carbon-based life.

There are so many plants and animals on the planet that it is possible to create new species based on them. If digital life is to produce subjective consciousness, it is a large category of intelligent life.

It is foreseeable that these intelligent lives will inevitably exist in the universe in the future, and they cannot be avoided if they want to.

Bao Qi said seriously: "What kind of scene, endless wars and massacres! This research has been going on, and now we are waiting for the digital life to have subjective consciousness, once the digital life has a subjective consciousness, we will build a new universe in the virtual universe to deduce these, in the real world we can't see this day, but in the virtual universe we can see it. "The research in this area is most enthusiastic about those who study social sciences, various models and simulations.

But then again, now that there is a virtual universe, this aspect of research is indeed a lot easier. Zuo Dajun sighed: "Yes! It is nothing more than war and massacre, at that time, it is estimated that war will destroy a galaxy at every turn, unimaginable, completely unimaginable, but the more I think about it, the more I feel that we human beings have to speed up the speed of development, we want to increase the population, or that kind of unlimited increase, so that we human beings are scattered throughout the universe, and only in this way can we human beings coexist with the universe forever, otherwise when the universe is in a melee, it is still unknown whether human beings can survive it. Bao Qi nodded and said: "It's really hard to say what is too far away, and I don't know how the war will be conducted, but what is certain is that such a war will come sooner or later, we can't slow down the pace of development, the faster the better, even if we humans don't create these strange intelligent life, there will naturally be other intelligent life in the universe, that is, what we often call aliens." ”

"Yes! There are aliens in the universe, maybe these aliens are quietly developing in the star fields that we don't know, maybe there are aliens who are already carrying out the plan to occupy the universe. Zuo Dajun said,

"Maybe we may find aliens tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and we should have a crisis to do, or as those experts said, whether we find aliens or not, we should recognize the threat of aliens, and let the whole name know the threat of aliens." Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "Dajun, you mean to set up an enemy for us human beings, so that we can have the motivation to develop." ”

"Yes! Otherwise, as far as our human virtue is concerned, that is, to eat and drink well and go to bed, and the rest will be left behind long ago. Zuo Dajun said,

"I feel that it is necessary to set up a strong enemy for our human race, a strong enemy who can supervise the development of our human race." Bauchi nodded,

"From the perspective of the overall benefit of humanity, it makes practical sense, but from an individual point of view, it is just to have nothing to do, and to have a good life just to toss around." Fan Xiaoming thought for a while and said: "It depends on how you say it, personally, it is best to live in the virtual universe, and it is best to have a free space to revolve around, but it can start from the human race as a whole, then it can't be like this, if there is no stability of the human race as a whole, it is impossible for individuals to achieve such a life." ”
