An Alternative Eternal Life

On this day, Zhang Yuan was reading a report at his desk, which showed a large group of Gliese people analyzing their psychological changes after entering the No. 14 virtual world.

"...the cruel reality, there are always so many unsatisfactory factors. After staying in it for a long time, they no longer care whether the world they live in is real or false..." Ordinary people's real life is not satisfactory, and they have their

own Many desires are unsatisfied, they need a place to escape, and there is nothing wrong with indulging in the virtual world. "

"But what is unexpected is that almost all top leaders are also immersed in such a virtual world. "

They have left a lot of property and supreme power in the real world outside, and they are supposed to be at the pinnacle of the whole world. However, the desire of intelligent life is infinite, and there will always be things that cannot be satisfied. In that illusory They have healthier bodies, almost endless energy, the ability to get what they want, and even various supernatural powers! "

Compared with this, the outside world becomes dull..." "

At any time With the passage of time, property and memory in the real world are no longer important to them. These oligarchs spend less and less time in the real world, and we predict that they will soon truly make up their minds to completely abandon their bodies and enter the virtual world. "

According to the calculations of this report, when the superstructure falls, humans can take advantage of the opportunity to take over the universal factory, and then send Gliese people into the virtual space in large numbers.

This shocking investigation report , made Zhang Yuan's heart beat fast.

Although the whole plan was well implemented and there were almost no major obstacles, but if you want to say that you are happy, you can't be happy at all. If you encounter the same situation, it is impossible for humans to do it. Better than the Gliese civilization. From a philosophical level, the two civilizations are actually similar.

"Black technology! "

"Ah. "

After contemplating for a while, he stood up again and lingered for a while. Recently, he has been in a state of anxiety. This feeling of walking a tightrope is really uncomfortable.

"Dong dong dong", I moved my ears, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"Please come in!"

It was Senior Brother Zhao who had retired. He glanced at the report on Zhang Yuan's desk and said with a smile, "Are you still worried about how to implement this plan?"

Zhang Yuan waved his hand: "Ah... but worried It is not whether the Gliese people will be recruited. The implementation of this plan is so smooth that it makes people feel uneasy. I am thinking that if human beings encounter this situation, they will also fall into the same result, because this Self-destruct because of the technology."

"Oh? Let me see." Zhao Qingfeng picked up the report and read it carefully.

Although he relegated to the second line, he is still a member of the scientific council and has a certain right to know.

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "Now Gliese people are experiencing the most addictive 'God mode', Godmodel. Of course, we can set the virtual world to be less perfect, or set it to be similar to reality, so as not to let humans indulge in it. But , as long as this technology is here, it cannot be shelved forever, it will only develop slowly." "

Just like when playing a game, many people will directly play the cheating mode." "

After all, human beings are a kind of enjoyment Creatures, even if administrative orders are used to forcibly ban them, they won't last long. One hundred years, or one thousand years after our group of people die, who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe it will be with the Gliese people It's the same."

"Not to mention..."

Zhang Yuan paused, looked at Senior Brother Zhao with gray hair and wrinkled face, and sighed again: "A different kind of immortality!" "As long as it is allowed,

human beings can live digitally." form, live in that virtual world for a long time."

"This technology has been realized so quickly, and this is what scares me the most..."

Thinking of thousands of Gliese people willingly entering the virtual world, this fact makes Zhang Yuan a little confused: "Is our society really ready to have this technology? If a person does not die and lives forever in the world, Lao Zhao, what will our civilization look like?" "If I am the captain

forever After a thousand or ten thousand years, there will be a more suitable genius than me, will I be willing to hand over my power?" "

Even if I am willing, what about the others?"

After hearing such a long list, Zhao Qingfeng was silent for a while, then he sat down on a nearby chair and said, "Human beings can only live forever in the virtual world, right? The life in the virtual world is equivalent to a two-dimensional world, and it is impossible to interfere with the real world." Right. It's just a waste of computer computing power. People who enter the virtual world no longer have the wealth, power, and connections in the real world." As far as current technology is concerned, it is possible to

read the memory in the human brain and to Self-awareness is uploaded into the biological computer.

Some scientists had a whim, if these memories were rewritten into a young cloned body, and then injected with self-consciousness, it would be able to restore a person's youth and achieve true immortality!

Fortunately, as far as the current human beings are concerned, this technology is still in a difficult state for spaceships!

Because "reading memory" and "writing memory" are two different levels of difficulty. The technology of "reading memory" is all extracted from the Bozman Quantum Consciousness Converter.

There is no technique of how to write memory in it, and human beings have no way to do it.

In particular, writing a series of data into the cloned body involves the chemical changes of hundreds of billions of brain neurons, which is simply beyond the control of the current level of human beings.

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "Old Zhao, although this is the case at present, don't forget that bionics technology is booming anyway."

"Since there is no way to make a cloned human into a new body, we should simply abandon the human brain and use a biological computer directly. After uploading the memory and consciousness, this biological computer carrying human consciousness can be directly used as a human brain. ..."

"Then use some bionic technology to form a perception of the real world, and the real immortality is completed!" "

Even if these people are no longer human beings, it is very difficult ethically, but this technology is not Impossible."

Zhao Qingfeng said: "We can ban the research on this kind of resurrection and return technology!"

Zhang Yuan shook his head and said: "If it can't be banned, it can be banned for decades or hundreds of years. But in the future, there are too many variables... ..."

"So what if you don't belong to human beings ethically? The strong opposition is not imminent, but when you are about to die, you will turn around and support it in a hurry." Zhao Qingfeng frowned, these words are very reasonable

.

Sometimes he also laments the fragility of human beings and the impermanence of life.

The thinking of young people and the thinking of old people are always different. Young people will do some adventurous things, they can stay up all night as they like, burn their livers, and eat as long as they feel comfortable, and they are unlikely to think about health preservation, longevity, etc. Old people are different... Aging, the biggest human being, is

also The most terrifying enemy.

Can live a little longer, who doesn't want to live a little longer?

Sometimes when he hears that virtual world technology has made progress, he will also feel a sense of joy that comes from instinct.

However, a civilization does not need cancer cells!

He sighed softly, "In other words, an elderly person like me who is old and frail and has a strong influence is likely to support the development of these technologies... Even if not now, in the next few thousand years , Tens of thousands of years, there will always be."

"As long as a high-level leader emerges and advances secretly, our civilization will be over."

Zhang Yuandao: "Yes, not only old people, middle-aged people, but also young people. If they know about it, they will not say anything. This kind of technology will be supported secretly, this is the general trend of the whole society!" "

After all, human beings are self-interested creatures. If they can survive for a long time, what will the future world look like? Will it degenerate and become a pool of stagnant water? , They won't think about it, anyway, isn't it enough for us to live?" "

But this is also the most important thing we should consider."

Zhao Qingfeng nodded irresistibly, and then thought deeply, although he is already a The elderly are old and frail, and may even be the first group of people to die. However, considering from the perspective of the entire civilization, this kind of thinking has penetrated into the bone marrow.
