Seeing that many people were thinking, Zhang Yuan added, "many problems are completely idle. For example, sleeping, humans sleep every day. In those hours, can we think that the old me has died and the new me has been born? "
"For example, hibernation, consciousness has been directly interrupted for hundreds of years! When humans wake up, how does this consciousness reappear? Am I different before and after hibernation? "
"... even with that instrument, the original me died suddenly at that moment and produced a new me, but the new me has no feeling or relevant memory... In the cognition of the new me, consciousness is still continuous, which is enough."
"If the 'new self' and the 'old self' are exactly the same, the whole world has not changed, and no one knows about it, then according to the razor principle, there is no need to consider such unimportant things."
Some scientists thought it was reasonable and nodded thoughtfully.
Many people also heard that the "old me" might disappear. They were so frightened that they sat silent.
This kind of problem seems very strange and strange. It is easy to accept what can be accepted, and there is no way to accept what cannot be accepted.
Of course, there are still a lot of people eager to try and are willing to continue to be volunteers.
Anyway, no matter what the outcome of the debate is, human beings can't give up eating because of choking, and the research should continue.
As for... Whether you can accept this technology is just a matter of personal choice
After the meeting, Zhang Yuan caught up with Dr. Ichiro Yamamoto, an expert in bionics.
Dr. Yamamoto is a peer of Zhang Yuan. As the proponent of the bionics program, he is a very strange and serious guy.
"Yamamoto, what do you think of this problem?"
"Me?" Yamamoto looked around and said softly, "of course, abandon the weak body and embrace the stronger body! Originally, in my transformation plan, I wanted to keep the human brain, but now the brain doesn't seem to need to be kept... Just upload the direct consciousness and complete the silicon-based transformation! It's a little perfect! "
Zhang Yuan smiled: "do you hate human body so much? No wonder I haven't found a girlfriend yet. "
"No, I don't hate it. I still want my sister, but my sister doesn't want me." Yamamoto scratched his head. He had a little bald head and grabbed several hairs. "It's my dream to invent a real girlfriend from the second dimension."
Zhang Yuan laughed twice: "do you really think humans can crack this technology?"
"It involves not only science, but also philosophy and religion, which can no longer be solved by Science... I even think it is impossible to crack Bozeman's self-consciousness before it is proved."
"Even if... Cracked this technology, it will really be used at that time, and the opposition is not generally loud."
Yamamoto sighed, "Zhang Yuan, you underestimate the ability of human beings to be greedy for life and fear death. When death comes, they will make a choice. Even if they really change their consciousness, they will still choose. "
"This is... Eternal life!"
Zhang Yuan shook his head.
In fact, what he worries about is not people's choice, but whether mankind has such a level to embrace real immortality? Is this really a science and technology beneficial to the whole civilization?
What would a world without death be like?
Zhang Yuan couldn't imagine it. He just shivered.
Immortality is an unprecedented historical sample, and even the history of new civilization can't give a good direction... But Zhang Yuan faintly said that this is not an imaginary good thing.
If a basin of water has no fluidity, it will soon deteriorate and live forever, which undoubtedly prevents this fluidity.
Three months soon passed, and the vigorous first stage of cracking work came to an end temporarily.
As many scientists have foreseen, apart from the smooth decoding of alien languages, the progress of other work is not very good. On the one hand, there are not enough manpower, and the vast majority of scientists are still hibernating; On the other hand, the generation gap between science and technology is really a little big. This gap can not be quickly smoothed out through hard work.
In the case of no hope of this crack, some scientists have entered hibernation. In the next batch, it will be the turn of Zhang Yuan and others.
……
On this day, a crazy scream came out of a small office.
"Ha ha, look what I found! Look what I found? "
"Ha ha!"
"What a surprise, what a surprise!"
This is the room of Informatics expert Li Zhendong. All kinds of messy instruments and equipment are piled all over the ground. This guy is shouting enthusiastically. His face is ruddy like a balloon. It seems that he has made a great discovery.
Language, as the only part that has made progress, is of course the top priority.
If the language is not deciphered, everything behind it is impossible to talk about.
However, the language of Gaia civilization is a little difficult to understand. There are too many vocabulary and many meanings that are not owned by human language at all. So in three months, so many scientists can only come up with a preliminary translation machine that can translate some simple languages.
But today, Li Zhendong made a great discovery!
"Lao Zhang! Lao Zhang! Look what I found! "
Li Zhendong called, spread his feet and began to run wildly.
Thousands of years ago, earth times encountered a planetary alien spacecraft and received signals from the spacecraft.
At leisure, Li Zhendong tried it again with various information coding methods. When he tried a rough error correction code, a miracle happened
This string of error correction codes can be deciphered in the language of Gaia civilization!
It's... incredible!
When he told Zhang Yuan the news, Zhang Yuan was stunned, "what, the language sent by the passing alien civilization is the same as the Gaia civilization?!"
The news is a little strange. Everyone will be a little confused for a moment and a half. Captain Zhao's neck even collapsed.
Li Zhendong was very satisfied with everyone's expression, and his desire for performance was fully satisfied.
"Well, am I awesome?"
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Zhang Yuan punched him directly.
Although this piece of information is very little, it still aroused everyone's deep curiosity.
Li Zhendong did not sell off, and soon played this decoded content on the big screen.
"... please note that this is Noah civilization ma37uy negative energy cyberspace construction spacecraft. It is forbidden to approach within 102 astronomical units... Violators will bear the consequences..."
"Current construction progress of Pan Galaxy network system: 45.67%... Target star domain, mjkh66754..."
There is a mess behind.
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "how is Noah civilization, not Gaia civilization? Are you mistaken? "
"No, it's not the same word..." Li Zhendong was not sure. "As for Noah civilization... It's just a code name I chose at random. It shouldn't be Gaia. I'm not sure. "
People can get two key points from this piece of information.
First, negative energy cyberspace is a very strange term.
Anyway, it must be an extremely huge project, because such a large planetary spacecraft is just a construction spacecraft... Whether it has an impact on mankind is unknown for the time being.
Second, the so-called "Noah civilization" must be extremely powerful.
Zhang Yuan doesn't know what to say. A subluminal flying planet is just a construction spacecraft. Well, he doesn't know what to say.
He is comparing the so-called "Gaia" and "Noah", which is stronger, or the two are probably the same, which is just a problem of human translation.
……
This interesting episode will soon pass. It will not interfere with the normal journey of mankind, but has evolved into an unsolvable secret.
Two months later, Zhang Yuan will enter normal hibernation again.
He wrote in his diary: "the long road of more than 3000 years will soon pass. The next awakening, we will reach a new home star."
Recalling the experience of the whole journey, ups and downs, suddenly, Qi rushed to my heart!
In the whole process, he learned a lot and grew a lot. He is no longer a newly graduated student... But a person who has to carry the whole civilization forward.
"There are enough stories along the way, but they are all in the past, and the future is more important. We will finally take a new step here! "
"If the earth civilization has died, let us be reborn on the future mother planet..."
Gliese 518, we're coming!
