Chapter 239: The Path of Evolution
I don't know if it's the negligence of the staff, but at this time, outside a shopping mall, there is a large screen. On this screen, a large number of videos of beautiful swimsuit girls are playing at this time.
Where has Xiao Jiu ever seen such a thing, she saw this time, not to mention frightened, but it also made her feel a few degrees of discomfort. It's a shock of worldview, and she feels at a loss for a while.
"Haha, Xiao Jiu, today's social atmosphere is like this, so I said it's not safe outside. Don't look at it, let's go to the park. Hou Dalin forcibly explained, and then pulled Xiao Jiu forward. At this time, Xiao Jiu covered her daughter's eyes with her hands and followed Hou Dalin forward quickly.
After turning a corner, he finally got out of the range of the big screen, and Hou Dalin sent a message to the outside and scolded the researcher who made this bloody.
Although they experienced such a small episode, it did not affect Xiao Jiu and Lily's mood, and they began to have fun since they came to the park. Hou Dalin was completely a foil at this time, and he became a bagbag. Looking at the scene of the mother and daughter playing and playing, Hou Dalin really didn't want to believe that all this was just an illusion.
Recently, the researchers who came here like Hou Dalin will have this feeling, although they know that everything here is fake, they just don't want to admit this fact. This kind of virtual technology that directly acts on the human brain is really amazing, everything you see, everything you experience, and the real world, is simply no different.
Not only that, but the most fascinating thing is that in this world, everything is as it pleases. It's better to be thirsty, as long as you have permission, someone will bring you a drink or fruit immediately. Even though you know it's fake, your brain doesn't lie to you, it makes you feel too real.
At this time, Hou Dalin thought most about the movie he had seen, the Hacker Empire. In this movie, in order to obtain the energy produced by the human body, the mechanical civilization breeds people like vegetables and uses them as batteries.
And what Hou Dalin is doing at this time is not planting human beings, and the other differences are actually not very big. It is also difficult for Hou Dalin to say whether this is evil or not. But now that they've figured it out, it's important to maximize the positive effects of the system.
Looking at the two mothers and daughters frolicking in front of him, Hou Dalin suddenly had an idea, and he thought of a question about evolution. The evolution of human beings, or living beings, is extremely slow. It may be that for this universe, the rate of evolution of life on Earth is amazing, but that is in the number of billions of years.
The pace of evolution is simply too slow for humans. But since they built this temple of eternal life, they have accidentally developed another model of the human brain, which is beyond the current human understanding of time.
So is this an evolution? A method that prolongs the time of human consciousness, of course, can also be regarded as a kind of evolution, right? At least, for the people here, their time, or life, is more than ten times that of the real world. If a scientist's scientific research life is 30 to 50 years, will such an amplification produce a magnification of more than ten times?
Hou Dalin sat on a chair in the park and began to think about it. Using the peculiarities of the human brain to change time, it has to be said that this may be the greatest discovery of mankind in this century.
Hou Dalin accompanied the two of them to play here for a while, went to the restaurant to eat, went to the mall to buy things, and before coming back, he went to the cinema to watch a movie, and then returned home.
After they all fell asleep, Hou Dalin sat down at the table and prepared a report on his thoughts. As his thinking became clearer, he wrote faster and faster, and by the time dawn came, his report was almost finished.
Tired is still very tired, now his spirit or according to some people is the soul in the Eternal Life Hall system, then the activity of his brain has been increased by this system by more than ten times, and naturally while experiencing high-intensity activities, its fatigue has also increased.
It is better to sleep here, Hou Dalin sent what he had written to the outside world, and then he went to rest. Xiao Jiu knew that Hou Dalin had been busy all night, so he didn't bother him at this time, just gave him breakfast, and then let Hou Dalin go to sleep.
When Hou Dalin woke up again, his consciousness had returned to his body. Faced with being suddenly woken up, Hou Dalin still experienced a trance for a while.
"What's wrong? Why do you wake me up all of a sudden? Hou Dalin asked the staff around him.
"Mr. Hou, the superior wants you to go to a meeting, and you are sleeping, so we have to use this method."
"Meeting? Is there a notice about what? ”
"No, I just said I was there at three o'clock in the afternoon, and I didn't say anything else."
"Oh, okay, I see, what time is it?"
"Around one o'clock in the afternoon."
After listening to this, Hou Dalin looked at his watch again, and then he lay down again, wanting to ease his spirit.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Hou Dalin appeared at the meeting place on time. As more and more people attended, Hou Dalin also recognized several familiar experts, which made him even more confused.
Soon, the meeting officially began, and the host's first sentence answered Hou Dalin's questions.
"The purpose of convening everyone here this time is to announce one thing, that is, our country has officially decided to start the research work of the manned space project from now on. All of you here today are experts from all walks of life, and we need all of you to seriously and rigorously discuss and draw up a development table for the aerospace project, so as to guide the progress of the project in the next 10 to 20 years. ”
As soon as the host's voice fell, the scene was in an uproar. There was an element of surprise to this uproar, but more of an excitement. This is a big project, and for a country that is not yet wealthy, it is undoubtedly a very courageous and forward-looking project for policymakers to start such a project at this point in time.
However, excitement is excitement, and some people still question, the other party does not think that the development of aerospace is not feasible, but that under the current conditions, the development of manned space engineering is not too early?
The moderator did not give a specific answer, but said that it was a decision of the state. Now that the decision has been made, these people must conscientiously do a good job of this project and not let the state's money be spent in vain.
The discussion was so intense that people started arguing. It's an academic battle, so don't worry they'll get into a fight. It's just that Hou Dalin is very curious, what did he do with such a meeting?
It didn't take long for Hou Dalin to be called to a room alone, where Hou Dalin was questioned by the relevant personnel.
"Mr. Hou, you are an authority on ergonomics, we would like to consult, is Tang Jianping suitable to be an astronaut?"
The interrogator was very skillful, and he said that Hou Dalin is an expert in ergonomics, and this ergonomics has another meaning here. Hou Dalin naturally understood, and he also thought about this issue seriously at this time.
To say that Tang Jianping is more suitable as an astronaut than normal humans, this is beyond doubt. But since the other party has come to ask himself, he can't simply say that one is suitable or not suitable.
"You may also know Tang Jianping's situation, from the perspective of his physical condition, it is appropriate to be trained to become an astronaut. But he also has his disadvantages, which need to be considered by the superiors. ”
"For example?"
"For example, his identity, after all, the astronaut is a public figure, and although his body can complete many operations that humans can't do, there are also many details that can't be done at all. Do you think such a person is suitable to appear in the public eye? Moreover, after all, he cannot be regarded as a complete human being, and this will have a certain adverse impact on the development of China's manned space flight in the future. ”
"So your conclusion, is he not suitable?" The staff recorded it carefully, and then asked Hou Dalin.
"No, he also has his strengths, which no one can match. I mean, in open conditions, he's not fit to advertise as an astronaut, but he can do a lot of things outside of the camera. ”
"Well, this idea of yours, we'll consider it. So the second question, from a technical point of view, can his body be tested in space? ”
"I don't think it's a big problem, of course, if he is really sent on a space mission, then his body will still have to undergo some necessary modifications."
"Okay, the next question, can the Eternal Life Hall system be transplanted into the outer space environment?"
Hou Dalin was stunned when asked, what is this for? How can you have such an idea?
Seeing Hou Dalin's expression, the other party didn't explain, just stared at him, which made Hou Dalin have a very bad premonition.
"In principle, I can only say that it is possible, but in practice, further research is needed."
"yes, okay." The other party didn't talk nonsense, but just recorded Hou Dalin's answer in eucalyptus. Then I continued to ask him the questions in the form in his hand.
The whole questioning work went on for a long time, and when Hou Dalin came out of this place, it was already dark. After returning to the Hall of Eternal Life, Hou Dalin locked himself in a room and quietly thought about the questions raised by the other party today.
Now calm down and think about it, the idea that the country wants to transplant the Palace of Eternal Life to outer space really has its necessity. Due to the special nature of this project, if they continue to conduct in-depth research here, they will have to face more and more problems. And using the human brain to control spacecraft has an incomparably huge advantage.
For example, a brain consumes only about 20 percent of the nutrients of a normal person. In this way, the payload of the spacecraft can be increased by a factor of five, or the length of time astronauts spend in outer space can be increased by a factor of five. That's pretty remarkable.
Of course, this is not the main thing, the main thing is that the human body cannot withstand a long-term weightless environment, which will cause great damage to the human body. Therefore, generally speaking, an astronaut's time in orbit generally does not exceed half a year. It's not just a matter of supply, it's a question of human endurance.
But there is no such problem with biochemical robots, take Tang Jianping as an example, although his current body consumes a lot of food, it is because his body is purely biochemical, and he needs to supplement a lot of things to supply his body consumption.
But what if his body was space-transformed? If you transform the biochemical muscle stuff into an electric system, then his oxygen and food consumption will be greatly reduced.
Of course, oxygen is only one of the small aspects of long-term space activities, and how to allow astronauts to survive in the space environment for a long time without adverse effects is too much to study. But because of this, biochemical robots have a natural advantage in this regard. Because they are programmable, or modified, their bodies can adapt to a variety of environments known to man, including but not limited to outer space, as long as they are specifically modified.
The second is protection, but it is easier to protect a brain than to protect a human body. From this point of view, the advantages of robots are even more obvious.
So what are the disadvantages? That is, the time for biochemical robots to come out is too short, and people still don't know what the biggest impact on a person is after undergoing biochemical transformation! This requires long-term trials to prove that it is not possible to draw conclusions in just a few years.
Hou Dalin suddenly thought that this might also be one of the reasons why the above wanted to transplant the Hall of Eternal Life into space. Imagine that if Tang Jianping was sent to space, then his time on it could be as long as several years. For such a long time, this is a huge challenge for one's spirit.
But what if you give the other person a place to relax? Although this is fake, the relaxed mood is real. This is similar to video games, speaking of video games, Hou Dalin suddenly thought that if the Palace of Eternal Life system is developed into a game system, then this system will definitely be able to crush all the video games in later generations.
It's just that as a game, there is also a serious problem here, that is, if a brain is killed in the Hall of Eternal Life, then his consciousness will really die.
They have just discovered this phenomenon. What the exact principle is, they don't know yet. But from the current results, it seems that it is necessary to ensure that the system must be stable, and there must be an emergency protection mechanism.
Hou Dalin once again entered the Immortal Hall system, and he planned to conduct a simulation experiment here.
