Under the leadership of Keiko Yamasugi, Hines watched the results of Keiko Yamasugi's research in the past few years of his hibernation.

Hines asked Keiko Yamasugi, "Is it difficult?" ”

"It's really hard, and soon after you hibernat, six large-scale research projects on a new generation of supercomputers start at the same time, three of which are conventionally structured, one is a non-von Neumann structure, and the other two are quantum and biomolecular computer research projects.

But two years later, the chief scientists of all six projects told me that the computing power we needed was simply not possible. The quantum computer project was the first to be interrupted, and the existing physical theories could not provide sufficient support, and the research hit the wall of Tomoko.

Then the biomolecular computer project was also discontinued, and they said it was just a fantasy. The last thing to stop was the non-von Neumann structure computer, which is actually a simulation of the human brain, and they said that our egg has not yet been formed, and there can be no chicken.

In the end, only three traditional architecture computer projects were still in operation, but there was no progress for a long time. ”

"That's right...... I should have been with you all the time. ”

"It's useless, you're just wasting eight years. Then, for a while, we were really completely desperate and came up with the crazy idea of simulating the human brain in an almost barbaric way. ”

"How?"

"Turning the previous software simulation into hardware, using a microprocessor to simulate a neuron, all microprocessors are interconnected and can dynamically change the connection mode."

Hines thought for a few seconds before he understood the meaning of Keiko Yamasugi's words, "You mean, make a hundred billion of these microprocessors?" ”

Keiko nodded.

"This ...... That's about the same amount of microprocessors ever built by mankind, right? ”

"I haven't counted, so it's probably more than that."

"Even if you do have so many chips, how long will it take to interconnect them?"

Keiko Yamasugi smiled tiredly, "I know no, but that's a desperate thought." But at that time, I really planned to do that, and I thought I could do as much as I could. She gestured around, "Look here, it's one of the thirty planned simulated brain assembly workshops, but only this one has been built." ”

"I should have been with you." Hines said again excitedly.

"Fortunately, the computer we want is still here, and it is 10,000 times more powerful than the strongest computer you hibernate in."

"Traditional structures?"

"The computer science community is amazed that traditional structures can squeeze so much water out of the sponge of Moore's Law...... But this time, my dear, this time it's really over. ”

This is an unprecedented computer, and if humanity fails, it will be unprecedented. Hines thought so, but he didn't say it.

"With a computer like this, it is easier to develop analytical cameras...... My dear, do you have an image concept of 100 billion? Keiko Yamasugi asked suddenly, seeing her husband shaking his head, she smiled and stretched out her fingers to point around, "Look, this is 100 billion." ”

"What?" Hines stared blankly at the white mist around him.

"We're in a holographic display of a supercomputer." Keiko Yamasugi said, fiddling with a gadget hanging from her chest with one hand, and Hines saw a scroll wheel on it, probably something similar to a mouse.

At the same time, Hines felt a change in the white fog that surrounded them, the fog being coarsened, apparently magnifying a certain part. At this time, he realized that the so-called fog was actually composed of countless small glowing particles, and the moonlight was emitted by these small particles themselves, rather than scattering from the external light source. The magnification continues, and the tiny particles turn into shining stars.

What Hines saw was not the starry sky on Earth, he felt as if he was in the heart of the Milky Way, densely packed with stars, leaving little space for night.

"Every star is a neuron." Keiko Yamasugi said that the sea of stars made up of 100 billion stars gilded their bodies with silver edges.

The hologram continued to zoom in, and Hines saw the thin tentacles of each star radiating out to the surrounding area, and these countless tentacles completed the intricate connection between the stars, and the image of the starry sky disappeared in Hines's eyes, and he was in an infinite network structure.

As the image zooms in, each star begins to take on structure, and Hines sees the structure of brain cells and neuronal synapses that he has long been familiar with through electron microscopy.

Keiko pressed the mouse, and the image instantly returned to a white fog state, "This is a full view of the brain structure, which was taken by an analytical camera, and three million sections were dynamically scanned at the same time. Of course, the image we see now has been processed to make the distance between neurons four to five orders of magnitude larger for ease of view, making it look like a brain has been vaporized into gas, but the topology of the synaptic connections between them remains intact. Now look at the dynamic ......"

"Whose brain is this?" Hines asked, amazed.

"Mine." Keiko Yamasugi looked at her husband affectionately, "When this mental picture appeared, I was thinking about you. ”

Note that when the bright spot turns green, the sixth batch of test propositions will be displayed, with the proposition being true pressing the right-hand button and the proposition falsely pressing the left-hand button.

Proposition No. 1: Coal is black

Proposition No. 2: 1+1=2

……

At this time, the director of the medical department of the project team hurriedly came and said that there was a problem with subject 104.

When the analysis camera was first developed, the simultaneous scanning of a huge section produced powerful radiation, and any life being photographed would cause fatal damage, but after many improvements, the radiation during shooting has been reduced below the safety line. A large number of tests have shown that the analytical camera does not cause any damage to the brain as long as the specified shooting time is not exceeded.

"He seems to have a hydrophobia." On the way to the medical center, said the director of the medical department.

Both Hines and Keiko Yamasugi stopped in amazement, and Hines glared at the head of the medical department and said, "As far as I know, hydrophobia is rabies!" ”

The head of the medical department raised a hand and tried to clear his mind, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't say it accurately, he didn't have any problems physiologically, and his brain and other organs were not damaged in any way, but he was really afraid of water like a rabid patient, he refused to drink water, and he didn't even dare to eat watery food." It's all about spirituality, and he thinks water is poisonous. ”

"Persecution fantasies?" Keiko Yamasugi asked.

The head of the medical department waved his hand, "No, no, he doesn't think that someone has poisoned the water, he thinks that the water itself is poisonous. ”

The Hines stood up again, and the head of the medical department shook his head helplessly, "But his mind is normal in other ways...... I can't tell, but see for yourself. ”

After arriving at the lab and seeing the symptoms of Experiment 104, who volunteered to participate in the experiment, Hines decisively asked to see the test log of Experiment 104.

In their test records they found a sufficient proposition: "Water is highly poisonous." ”

Later, after Hines himself verified it, he found that it was possible to change human cognition of something by editing the fixed truth of the human brain.

As a result, Hines combined with the reinforcement of political cadres such as Zhang Beihai of the Chinese Space Force and other political work cadres, and sketched out his plan - the ideological steel seal.
