Chapter 120: Consciousness is immortal
(Not modified, please ...... later) )
In Yang Meng's heart, he silently considered when.
Hikari continues to tell about the crisis encountered by the Rutans,
Because the living body is separated from the conscious body, which leads to a change in the perception of the world of consciousness,
As a mechanized group of life, driven by the energy crisis,
Targeted the unmechanized lifeforms on Rutan,
Thus began the long war,
And this battle lasted for hundreds of years,
Unprecedented damage has been caused to the ecological environment of the planet Rutan B,
Although war can promote the development of science and technology to a certain extent,
But because of the scarcity of heavy elemental resources, the Rutans
In the end, it was not possible to develop a complete space industry.
And for the Rutans who have developed technology to a certain extent,
They have the ability to influence a planet again.
In this case,
In the final outcome of the war, there are no winners.
A large amount of resources have been consumed, the environment has been destroyed, and the entire planet's surface is no longer able to allow normal life to survive.
"So you still have such a history!"
Listening to Xiaoguang's narration, Yang Meng nodded lightly,
Then I looked at the virtual map derived from the optic neural network.
The above electromagnetic catapult skid is 70% ready
See that it will take a little time,
Yang Meng continued to listen to Xiaoguang's speech, intending to see when he would answer his question head-on.
Crisis and opportunity coexist,
In the context of war and extreme environmental degradation,
The Rutans have gone the other way,
To study the nature of energy, what drives particles to move, why friction produces heat,
and other essential issues,
The Rutans have come a long way in string theory.
This also gave birth to the small light that is an energy body,
But just like the transformation of a living body into a mechanical body, facing the problem of consciousness perception,
When the mechanical body is transformed into an energy body, the problem of consciousness perception is more serious.
As a robot, it can also simulate life forms through various sensors and perceive the surrounding situation.
But as an energy body, how should you perceive the world?
Hear this,
Yang Meng finally got some interest,
He has always been curious, the little light as a point of light, has neither eyes nor ears,
What kind of means to observe the world,
He had asked Xiaoguang this question before,
But the answer given by Xiaoguang is only to perceive the world through the vibration of the strings in the quantum realm.
This kind of answer can only be regarded as ambiguous and does not solve the doubt in his mind,
Now I hear Xiaoguang talk about his own change from a mechanical body to an energy body,
He pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
Listen to Xiaoguang talk about the various problems and crises encountered by consciousness from mechanical bodies to energy bodies.
Yang Meng looked at the electromagnetic catapult pry whose progress had reached 100%,
There was some hesitation in my heart again,
Banishing Xiaoguang like this, although it guarantees to avoid his own safety, it is a loss to the entire human civilization.
From the previous communication with the earth, Yang Meng learned that
Except here in the Rutan system, humans have not found any traces of alien civilizations in other galaxies.
The Rutans are still the first alien civilization that humans have encountered.
Moreover, this civilization also has some technologies that humans have not mastered.
For example, this consciousness quantification technology,
Since his grandfather's time, he successfully exported pig brain data through a brain-computer interface.
This gives mankind an alternative hope for eternal life,
In general, eternal life is divided into two situations,
One is the immortality of the body, and the other is the immortality of consciousness that is free from the body,
The emergence of brain-computer interfaces has given hope to the immortality of consciousness.
According to Yang Meng's understanding,
In the human imagination, consciousness immortality is divided into three steps,
The first step is to digitize consciousness;
Using brain-computer interfaces to link consciousness to the network,
At this stage, human consciousness still needs the brain as a background program.
The second step is the independence of consciousness,
That is, after the death of the living body, the consciousness of human beings can still exist independently, and can be introduced into clones or other bodies.
The third step is the autonomy of consciousness.
At this stage, human consciousness does not need any carrier and is not limited by the body.
Just like the ancient myths that Yang Meng understands, consciousness can wander the world.
Nowadays, human research on life consciousness is still stuck in the second step.
After the consciousness is separated from the living body, it is like being trapped in a black box,
If it is not possible to provide external stimuli to consciousness through effective sensory organs,
It won't be long before the human consciousness goes mad and eventually dissipates.
Even if the exported consciousness is put into the virtual world of consciousness,
Consciousness does not return to the body for a long time,
If you stay in the virtual world for a long time, you will also have the problem of consciousness assimilation.
And the Rutans,
Trapped in the case of Rutan, the study of consciousness has far surpassed that of human beings.
In this case, the technology mastered by Xiaoguang is extremely valuable to the entire human race.
"If you let Xiaoguang go now, I'm afraid it will ......"
Yang Meng groaned,
Regarding the handling of Xiaoguang, he had already asked the earth side for instructions.
But at the speed of the neutrino cluster signal,
It took 12.36 years for his message to reach Earth,
It took another 12.36 years for the earth to reply,
In this way, it has been 24 years since I received a reply from Earth.
"Maybe, after I leave Nanhe San, I can go to the Ross 128 galaxy to have a look!"
At this time, Yang Meng's consciousness has been affected.
The idea of his return to Earth is not too urgent,
What's more, from Earth's previous encrypted communications,
The forces he is in also hope that he will go back later,
Thinking of this, he was not in a hurry to deal with Xiaoguang,
It will take several years to get from here to Nanhesan,
And to the Ross 128 galaxy, it will take decades,
In such a long time, what is Xiaoguang's purpose, he also has the opportunity to see clearly,
Just when Yang Meng was planning for the next thing,
After Xiaoguang went around in a big circle, he finally talked about why his days were running out.
In Xiaoguang's previous narrative,
Although the Rutans can be separated from the mechanical body, this kind of extremely energy-consuming equipment,
It is also possible to establish a new perceptual tactile system through string vibration.
But in this state of energy body consciousness,
Still can't perfectly simulate the sensory organs of living beings,
In order to compensate for its own deficiency in consciousness,
The Rutans came up with another way,
The lack of perception is compensated for through the method of consciousness merging.
And Yang Meng's expression was shocked when he heard this,
"Consciousness Merge!"
Something bad thought in his mind.
Although there were some changes in his heart, he did not interrupt Xiaoguang's narration.
And with Xiaoguang's narration,
Yang Meng's expression became serious again,
He looked at the virtual panel of the electromagnetic catapult pry and thought:
"It's better to throw away such a dangerous thing"
