"Do you think bionics may have real feelings?"

Hearing director Li Guangya's sudden inquiry, Wu Shuhua, standing at the desk, was slightly shocked and frowned.

"Bionic people have feelings? What are you talking about? "

"It's nothing, it's just that it's a bit interesting, and it's really a question worth thinking about," said Li Guangya, with his index finger lightly nodding on his desk and chatting, "do you remember the natural awakening bionic man before?"

"You mean Tail? "

Li Guangya: "it seems to be the name. If I remember correctly, she should be a naturally awakened bionic, and at the same time, she has published her core code in the world's largest academic forum? "

"I have an impression on this matter," Wu Shuhua nodded and continued, "but why mention it?"

"Because of the 1024 data people Their bodies have been destroyed, but consciousness has been uploaded to the hardware by the bionic humans. We now have two choices. One is to treat them as the legal dead, delete the data about them, and the other is to give them a bionic body, so that they can continue to live in another identity. "

Wu Shuhua didn't make any comments on this sensitive issue, but asked without any leakage.

"What do you think?"

Li Guangya: "let me be frank. For humanitarian reasons, they are the victims of war. We should give them a body to reunite with their families. But reason told me that this choice is full of risks. "

Wu Shuhua:" in fact, I don't understand that pioneer That's David Lawrence. Why did he do it? "

"Maybe it's for some experiment, maybe it's just for boredom. No one knows except himself... " Leaning back on the office chair, Li said thoughtfully, "it's a pity that he's dead. It's too cheap for him."

It's not just the problem he's facing.

It can even be said that this is a test of Pan Asian cooperation for the whole society.

If they give up those people, they will get a very "pure" society. If they choose to accept them, they may usher in a diversified future.

"Is academician Lu still in North America?"

"That's right."

Hearing Secretary General Wu's reply, Li Guangya sighed with some vexation.

"If only he could come back earlier, I have a lot of things to talk to him."

Wu Shuhua: "you seem to trust him."

Li Guangya: "he is indeed a trustworthy person, which is proved by action. Is there any problem?"

Wu Shuhua: "I don't deny that, but I didn't expect that you would depend on others."

"You're stealing concepts. Trust doesn't mean dependence. I have my own judgment on how to do it. But isn't it better to refer to the opinions of experts before that?" Li Guangya said with a faint smile, "at least, we can take fewer detours."

……

The church in Princeton town.

White tombstones stand on the lawn behind the church.

His index finger touched the line of small epitaphs on the tombstone, and Lu Zhou read them gently.

"Great scholar, great professor."

[- Pierre deline]

he is a respectable teacher, not only because of his achievements in mathematics, but also because his wisdom has inspired many potential souls.

"I didn't expect to see you again in such a way I wanted to commemorate you in my own way, but the management here told me that I couldn't light the fire. "

Put the flower gently on the tombstone, the boat didn't stay here much, turned around and left.

In the next two days, instead of leaving Princeton immediately, Lu Zhou studied the Autobiography of David Lawrence borrowed from the flint library.

It's very interesting that this autobiography was not written for him, but by him, or at least by his dictation.

Until he graduated from Princeton, his dream was to become a historian. However, because of the sudden changes, he had to give up the academic road and go back to inherit the Lawrence family.

As the wealthiest and most powerful family in the Boston consortium, he had a terrible fortune in his early thirties.

Although in the layout of the science and technology industry, it is always because of standing on the opposite side of an old friend's boat, but compared with his huge family business left by his parents, this loss is nothing at all.

“…… Disease, aging, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and weak flesh and blood will one day decay. Only by imprinting the thinking on the circuit board can we achieve real eternity. "

"I began to fund scholars and dreamers who I was optimistic about, invest in industries about the future, and hope to upload my awareness to the Internet in my lifetime. At that time, I will do all I can to build myself an omnipotent body and the most intelligent brain in the world. In the form of numbers, I will obtain the superhuman body and the eternal life that the kings and nobles of the middle ages have not been able to seek. ""However, the road to truth is always uneven, just like not everyone is worth investing in, not every investment has brought me due return in the end. Some studies have to be overturned at the end of the day, and others are stuck in bottlenecks, and there is no way out. "

"On my fortieth birthday, I began to despair. Until an amazing news came from China on the other side of the sea, and a fire broke out in my heart. "

"Fate is so wonderful. Although my old friend has defeated the enterprises I support more than once, the neural access device he developed this time inspired my negative emotions."

"I've chosen to keep betting on Mr. musk, and there are many other scientists working on neural access devices. I built a research institute in Boston that specializes in the derivation of neural access devices - that is, the upload of consciousness. "

"In fact, this technology is not too difficult. After the bottleneck of the direct connection between the nervous system and the computer has been solved, we have studied in this field for many years, and quickly grasped the key to solve this problem."

"However, I know that this is not enough. Fake programs can't replace my consciousness. At most, the person on the screen can only be regarded as my high imitation. At this point, my researchers told me that to achieve immortality in the form of numbers, at least the programs written into the hardware had to live. In other words, it is necessary to have a high level of intelligence to be a real person. "

"My plan fell into a low ebb again, until one night at the end of 2022, I was drunk and took the virtual reality helmet to escape to the virtual world. However, at this time, an unknown force called me to pull into a black space. In fact, I thought there was a bug in the program until I saw another me in it. "

"Want to live in the data sea forever like me? Please pass my test. Another one I said to me, and downloaded a 5 MB program to my terminal. "

"When I wake up and find the program on the terminal, I can't use words to describe the surprise in my heart. It's like coming from a nothingness, saving me who is about to fall into the dark. I opened it like a treasure and found the secret of evolution in it... "

"It's a comprehensive proposition that mixes sociology and informatics. Even though it's only 5MB in size, it's still not easy to solve it. As the calculation continues, I continue to provide experimental materials and observable objects for it, and the scale of the program almost grows exponentially. Later, I had to buy a Supercomputing Center, or even open up a new planet to satisfy his appetite. "

"Although his appetite is growing, I am full of confidence in the future. The end of evolution is right in front of me, and soon I will be able to achieve eternity, and selfless I will share the secrets of evolution with all people at that time. "

Finally, the Autobiography of David Lawrence was seen. The boat took a deep breath, closed the book, and looked out of the window into the deep night.

The timeline is right, and his guess is right.

The night at the end of 2022 was the day when imcrc carried out high-energy physics experiments on abnormal energy areas. It was also the day when human civilization looked up for the first time to the world in the N + 1 dimension, which was called the void by observer civilization.

And the program on Ceres comes from there!

"When you are gazing at the void, the void is gazing at you."

Here chews this sentence repeatedly, the land boat sighed lightly.

"I didn't expect that it was just a quick glance, but I actually let out such a great trouble from there."

100 years.

If I were not alive, the truth about it would be buried in the dust of history forever.
