Chapter 20 - Consciousness Information System Technology

Chapter 20 Consciousness Information System Technology

At this moment, Shen Shi even felt his hair stand on end. Goosebumps appeared on his body.

This was because he could not understand at all!

“In such a short period of time? A person has been created? And one that appeared in an instant?”

And this cold touch…

The word “ghost” surged into his mind. In that instant, he even felt that his world view was swaying!

“Master, your heart is racing, you are agitated, and your consciousness is unstable. Do you need help?” Sebastian looked a little worried.

“…No.” Shen Shi panted slightly and shook his head.

He was just a little frightened by the appearance of the “ghost”.

This was an instinct brought about by past knowledge.

If something with an obvious technological style had appeared, even if one could not understand it, one would not have such a

feeling.

But now, he just wanted to say that this was not science! And definitely not futuristic!

“What’s going on?” After calming down a little, Shen Shi asked impatiently, “Could ghosts really exist?”

“I’m extremely sorry, Master. I don’t understand what you mean very well.” Sebastian bowed slightly, and his every move was competent and experienced. “However, this body is based on the combination of consciousness and information shaped by original energy. Your sense of touch actually comes from the transmission of information. For this kind of technology, the best word I can find in your vocabulary is ghost.”

Combination of consciousness and information. Such a technical description made Shen Shi calm down a little.

He had already realized.

The so-called science actually represented a research attitude toward unknown phenomena. In other words, even if there were really ghosts, they might have already been thoroughly studied in the future.

Currently, Sebastian who was in front of him was the best example.

However, Shen Shi could not help but ask, “Do ghosts exist on this planet?”

At this moment, he really wanted to know if those mysterious things he had heard of in the past were true.

Sebastian was silent for a moment.

He was a simulation of the central Al of the warship, and the warship naturally had the capability of information warfare. Therefore, in just an instant, he had collected and analyzed a large amount of information from the world’s network.

Then, he said, “Master, according to the preliminary intelligence collection and analysis, the technology of the consciousness information system on this planet is still in the primitive stage, and the supporting technology is also insufficient. The probability of a composite of consciousness and information appearing in this civilization is less than one in three billion.”

“Phew…”

Shen Shi heaved a long sigh of relief.

‘It’s good that there isn’t any.”

If not, then the “ghost” Sebastian had mentioned was not the “ghost” he knew. The fear instantly lessened.

However, Shen Shi was also curious about the consciousness information system technology Sebastian had mentioned.

After all, at this moment, the most important thing for him to do was to understand this spaceship as soon as possible, and then grasp the current situation of the interstellar society, and even grasp information about the future. Only when his knowledge reserves met the standards of the people of the future would he not have to be so circumspect when trading. He was worried that his words and actions would expose his background and affect the transaction.

When Shen Shi asked, Sebastian did not answer directly. Instead, he bowed again and said, “Master, the Vogt has a complete basic information vault. You can obtain more detailed answers from the information vault for your questions. This requires your authorization.”

Information vault?

Shen Shi recalled that this seemed to be the gift the collector gave him at the end of the transaction.

He suddenly realized that this information vault might be the most valuable thing to him!

“Permission granted.” Shen Shi could not wait to know more.

“Yes!” Sebastian raised his hands.

In an instant, the environment changed.

Three-dimensional images appeared.

It was as if he was still in the virtual trading market.

It made Shen Shi wonder if this was real or virtual.

Until the voice came with the scene.

[The consciousness information system technology can also be called the original energy system technology. Together with the macro technology and the micro technology, it is also called the three directions of the development of the cosmic civilization with infinite possibilities.]

(The origin of its development came from the inquiry of intelligent life forms into the essence of consciousness.)

[In the initial stage, most intelligent civilizations will think that the essence of consciousness comes from the macroscopic expression of the rules of movement of microscopic particles. However, in the second stage, the researchers will find that the operating rules of microscopic particles under the influence of consciousness do not conform to the basic theorem of microscopic technology.]

[In the third stage, consciousness will be studied in depth as a subject independent of matter.)

[In the fourth stage, it is assumed that there is an unknown energy level in consciousness, original energy. This stage is the beginning of the application of consciousness information system technology.] [In the fifth stage…)

An endless stream of voice introduction appeared, as well as various corresponding research scenes and experimental scenes. It was as if Shen Shi was watching a popular science movie about interstellar society, but there was nothing interesting to speak of. The information contained in it, with his thinking ability, could only make him dizzy. He could not understand most of the content.

And some things that he could understand a little brought great mental stress.

For example, if a living individual was replicated exactly from the most basic particle that could be determined, this other individual produced as such would manifest a completely different consciousness even if in the exact same environment as the original.

In Shen Shi’s opinion, this was simply a philosophical problem.

If someone identical to me could be replicated, is that person me?”

Most people would think not.

The result of the experiment was the same.

Then, there was a further experiment. If your consciousness was uploaded to the virtual network, was the consciousness running in the virtual network still you?

The fantasy of uploading one’s consciousness to the Internet was also present in modern society. Therefore, if he became a pile of electronic information, would what was reborn be him really?

In particular, Shen Shi had experienced virtual reality. When he was trading in the virtual market, he felt that half of his consciousness was still in his body, and the other half was in the virtual market. What was going on? It was fine if he did not study it in detail, but when he did, it simply exploded!

In the end, Shen Shi gave up probing.

Humans’ understanding of the world was only a drop in the ocean of the entire universe. Disregarding everything else, the simulation transformation substance was like an immortal magical power to him. Probing this without the mind of scientific inquiry was simply asking for trouble.

“In short, there is such an original energy that can achieve this kind of effect before one’s eyes, right? It’s enough that I know this.” Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief and gave up on thinking deeply. However, he suddenly thought of something and could not help but ask, “By the way, I remember that there is a so-called ‘energy room’ in the warship? Is that where the original energy is produced?”

This energy room was on the first page of the long “explanation manual” of the warship.

Therefore, Shen Shi still had an impression.

However, at this moment, he was also a little curious. Since original energy had come from consciousness, then where did the original energy on the warship come from?
