Yamamoto explained very quickly: "human memory itself can be read and copied, just like a hard disk. But you know, just having a hard disk can't work directly. It needs to be powered up, it needs a driver. "

"The quantum algorithm of" self-consciousness "is equivalent to the running software of the hard disk. It can't be read by force or copied. It can only realize the overall transition. It must rely on the memory itself to have a complete function Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense. Software and hardware are indispensable. "

Ichiro Yamamoto opens the computer screen in the laboratory, on which there is a "mouse" uploaded by consciousness.

This "mouse" is in a daze in the computer. It doesn't move. It seems to be silly.

"You see, this is the self-consciousness of a mouse."

"It doesn't move because there is no connection between Self-consciousness and memory No body, not even instinct, can only stand here in a daze

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yuan thought for a while and asked, "why is a mouse displayed on the screen And nothing else? "

This question sounds a bit odd, but it's extremely important.

Now that it has been separated from the body itself and turned into a mass of two-dimensional data, why is it that mice are still mice, rather than cats and dogs, and maybe even humans?

"Oh, this is a random one. It's the virtual body that we add according to the memory of mice Of course, it can also be set as a cat. " Yamamoto was stunned and pondered for a while before he said: "it's just data. Although there is no way to directly observe the core, it can observe the external performance. We give it a virtual body to know what it's doing

"It's no problem to observe this virtual body. It won't affect the collapse of self-consciousness. If you look at internal data, it's dead. "

Zhang Yuan pondered for a while and said with a bitter smile: "it's really quantum mechanics Do a layer of skin cover, the function will not collapse

"Yes, once observed, the function collapses and loses randomness.

"In this way, even God can't predict what human beings will do next second?"

Yamamoto nodded. "In theory, it's impossible to predict what kind of ideas will come out in the next second. But mind reading is still possible Because there is no way to directly observe the algorithm itself, but the data generated by the algorithm, that is, memory, can still be observed as long as you are careful. "

“…… We may even change people's character by modifying memory! But it's also about matching patterns of self-awareness Mr. Zhang Yuan, please support this technology. "

With that, the guy began to be crazy, all kinds of wishful thinking, listening to Zhang Yuan's back a chill.

Well, Yamamoto has no traditional morality to speak of. He doesn't consider what kind of panic these privacy prying and even privacy modifying technologies will cause to the public.

Zhang Yuan thought hard for a while and quickly refused some of his requests. Are you kidding? Although the new civilization pursues progress, now releasing these technologies is the rhythm to pit itself to death!

"I don't know it's going to take a long time to really realize these functions. Now it's just relying on the technology of Gaia civilization It's still a question whether we can copy biological computers. "

Zhang Yuan patted the other side on the shoulder, indicating that he should be down-to-earth and not think about going up to the sky all day long.

And then there are all kinds of comparative experiments. The consciousness of this poor mouse is tossed and turned.

By connecting the "self-consciousness" with the memory storage area, the mice soon recovered from their original dull appearance.

It was stunned by the background of the blue light spot and ran wildly, but how could it run to a safe corner in such a place?

After running for a few minutes, I don't know what happened, and the conscious body seems to be tired. Gradually it stopped.

Yamamoto presses a button, the "self-consciousness" and memory storage area are disconnected again, and the mouse looks like dementia again, as if nothing has happened.

"Because the brain of mice is relatively simple, self-consciousness and memory can be separated easily. It's more difficult for monkeys."

Several workers reset the data in the memory area to its original state.

reconnected again as like as two peas of rats began to run away.

However, in the two repeated experiments, Zhang Yuan keenly sensed some differences. It seems that there are subtle differences in the movement of mice running.

He said, "that is to say, even if you have the same memory as the basis, the same self-consciousness, you will make different reactions, right?"

Yamamoto replied: "yes, that is to say, it belongs to life itself Randomness! But this kind of randomness is not random, but fluctuates in a region. "

Zhang Yuan then asked, "well, what happens when the memory of one mouse matches the self-consciousness of another mouse?""It's very likely that you will become a fool But if the memory of the two mice is mixed up in a certain pattern, there is a very small probability of success. We don't know why we succeeded. Maybe it's like the legend of the soul in the fantasy, one devours the other

After watching this experiment, Zhang Yuan felt a little uncomfortable, memory and self-consciousness, which may be the most inexplicable and incomprehensible black technology that human beings have come into contact with

How to say, the top scientists in the whole laboratory, like the black wizard in the fantasy story, are trying to manipulate the soul?

The experiment of inserting the "self-consciousness" of one life into the memory of another creature What's the difference with the black wizard?

Of course, science is science, a methodology, not empiricism.

Quantum consciousness is not soul; repeated experiments are not for killing, but for better exploration of nature.

"So, Professor Yamamoto, what do you mean you want to recruit VR game testers here?"

Zhang Yuan frowned and asked, "if you want to use human beings to do experiments on self-consciousness, it is not allowed Even if it's just reading human memory, it's a serious violation of the right to privacy. I hope you can know and abide by the laboratory discipline. "

"No, no, no!" Yamamoto waved, "I know that."

"VR game testers, mainly to test the background space after self-awareness upload That is, virtual space technology. It's not so easy to form a real living environment. "

"Background space?" Zhang Yuan remembered that it was a space full of blue light spots, able to feel gravity and breathe, but the overall feeling was very monotonous.

"If you want to expand this blue space into a virtual world almost the same as the real world, there is still a lot of content to be filled, including various physical rules, as well as scene settings such as house, air and gravity. As you can see, the mouse on the screen is a little strange in motion, because the physical rules don't match the reality It's certainly unreliable to rely entirely on memory. "
