Li Zhengchu raised his head, and a moment of astonishment flashed in his originally dead eyes.

But then, the light in his eyes returned, like a man in a deep quagmire grasping the last straw.

"What?"

Xia Lian recounted his plans.

"But now there's a problem, I don't know if that machine is viable, so, I need to transfer the consciousness of a few people to try it first."

Li Zhengchu was silent for a moment, and then he spoke, "Then upload my consciousness, right?" ”

Xia Lian looked at him quietly, "Are you sure?" I've never tried this technique before, so there's a good chance that there will be some unknown problems that are now irreversible. ”

Li Zhengchu nodded seriously and said, "I won't go to the rest of the people to sacrifice for this, this is also my duty." ”

Xia Lian bowed, "I understand." ”

Remembering to ask himself, Xia Lian himself could not face the sacrifice so calmly, but this did not prevent him from respecting those who had this spirit.

Human nature is complex, everyone has what they feel is important, some people are wealth, and some people are life, and it is not right or wrong.

From a practical point of view, if human beings want to continue and countries want to be rich and strong, they need people with a spirit of sacrifice.

It does not need to be promoted, but everyone who has this spirit should be respected.

Xia Lian didn't talk nonsense, he hurried the time and took Li Zhengchu on the spaceship, in order to save time, they teleported back to the time and space of the research base, and will start uploading his consciousness.

Li Zhengchu was wearing an iron hat composed of micro and nano molecules, which connected many lines, and on his side, it was the central Rubik's Cube uploaded by his consciousness, and he was quietly watching Xia Lian.

Xia Lian put his hand on the transfer button and jokingly said, "There is still a chance to regret it." ”

"I never regret it." Li Zhengchu said.

Xia Lian's eyes flashed with a glimmer, "Then, see you in another world, good luck." ”

As he spoke, he pressed the button in his hand.

Under the special energy wave induce, Li Zhengchu, who was sitting in the chair, lost consciousness in an instant, and his body was still active at this moment, but it was already in a state of brain death.

Xia Lian hurriedly looked at the mercury who used micro-nano to link the computer to the side, "How's it going?" ”

"There is indeed a string of data in the center, which is currently being analyzed, technically speaking, memory and thinking have been successfully uploaded, but whether consciousness is uploaded, you still need to go in and see." Mercury Road.

Xia Lian bowed his head, he sat on the chair on the other side, and the lines formed by micro and nano nanons were linked to his hands, and he entered the virtual world through neural integration technology.

It's different from consciousness upload technology, which is just a link to the computer, just a virtual reality technology.

Soon, Xia Lian came to an unknown world full of data streams of 0s and 1s.

And in front of him, a Li Zhengchu composed of data had his eyes closed.

Soon, he slowly opened his eyes and saw Xia Lian in front of him, and the initial confusion in his eyes gradually faded with the reading of his memory.

"How does it feel?" Xia Lian asked.

Li Zhengchu bowed, "It's never been better, I feel like I've lost a lot of restraints, and I seem to be able to do anything." ”

He raised his hand, and a model globe circulated in his hand with the combination of data.

Seeing that Li Zhengchu was in a good state, without the slightest sluggishness or slow reaction, Xia Lian knew that his consciousness upload should have been successful.

After a pause, he continued, "Mercury gave you some of the rights to the virtual world, and it is not an exaggeration to call you a god in this place.

She's now trying to upload all the data that humans have observed so far, and build the world, where you can help.

After we have successfully built a virtual community "Earth" that is enough for more than 10 billion spiritual beings to live, we will go and bring your fellow citizens into this world. ”

"It's our compatriots." Li Zhengchu said.

Xia Lian smiled, "Yes, it's our compatriots. ”

"I have a request." Li Zhengchu said, "Can you, when uploading your memories, delete their memories of all the aliens in the past few years, and go back to the moment when everything has not happened." ”

Xia Lian quickly figured out Li Zhengchu's thoughts, "You.... Don't want them to know they're in a virtual world? ”

"I don't know what people in your time think, but there are still people in this era who can't really accept themselves as such data beings." Li Zhengchu said, "There will be many visible contradictions and conflicts.

Between concealment and non-concealment, it is beneficial to choose the former. ”

After a pause, he seemed to feel that it was not appropriate, and continued to add, "Regarding the memory of this disaster, I hope that it will not be completely deleted, and that it can be left as a backup."

When the time is right, when they can accept all this, I think they should also have the right to know all this. ”

Li Zhengchu raised his head, "Is it feasible?" Or is your technology not yet able to simulate the real world perfectly? ”

Xia Lian bowed, "It should be feasible, now that virtual reality technology is very developed, all the five senses can be simulated."

The biggest gap between the virtual world and the real world is that humans cannot question, update and challenge existing knowledge in the virtual world.

But we are more than 10,000 years ahead of you, and you can question and update science within the scope of our knowledge.

The only possibility that will be discovered, and that is that some of you are idle and have finished counting pi.

But that's when the computing power of this computer has not been upgraded.

Oh yes, and the question of longevity. ”

Xia Lian muttered softly.

"What about the genetic continuity of human beings? In the virtual world, humans can live forever, but they can't have children. ”

Li Zhengchu fell silent.

Subsequently, Xia Lian proposed, "How about introducing the concept of reincarnation?" ”

"What do you mean..."

"In the virtual world, humans are set to grow old and die, and to die is to have memories erased and then put consciousness into newborns.

Or, directly add some artificial intelligence to human beings, and now artificial intelligence can think about the same as human beings. ”

Li Zhengchu fell silent, "We.... To deprive them of their lives without their consent, whether... Not right? ”

"It's up to you." Xia Lian said, "You are their leader and represent their will. ”

"But you have to understand that if it weren't for us, they would have died with all life on the surface at this moment.

Now all the extra time is earned.

If you want to tell a lie, you need to use countless lies to fulfill the lie, which is inevitable. ”

After a pause, Xia Lian continued.

"For you, whether you tell them the truth or deceive them, there is a reason, and there is no right or wrong.

If I had known that the place where I live is a man-made "box", my mood would probably not be much better.

Eternal life is not actually a good thing, you have lived in the long river of history for thousands of years, you should also have some understanding, right? ”

Li Zhengchu bowed, "Human life is limited, and it is precisely because of this that people think about how to live a limited life more meaningfully."

But life is meaningless, and the process of pursuing the "meaning of life" is a meaning in itself.

And if people have eternal life, they will no longer need to search for the "meaning of living".

People lose their purpose because whatever they pursue is meaningless in the face of time.

A long time allows you to become proficient in everything and try every opportunity.

But when everything and all opportunities have been tried, people will only be left with emptiness, and life will only become suffering. ”

"Immortality may work, but eternal life is only a curse." Li Zhengchu raised his head, "I understand, bring them in, and I'll arrange everything." ”

Xia Lian smiled, "Yes, as you wish....."
