Cyber Heroes

Things in Xiangshan's eyes became different.

After the long polypeptide chain downloads information from DNA, it becomes a rope with its own specified properties. Each of the many links that make up this long chain is attracted to or repels other parts due to its own electric charge. Such an unstable structure cannot be maintained for long. The fundamental laws of the universe will require it to fall to the most stable and lowest energy state.

Someone like Xiangshan might use the metaphor of "knotted headphone cords."

But this is actually an inappropriate metaphor. The main function designed for headphone cables is not "to tie knots".

The polypeptide chain that carries information exists to fold into proteins. It has a spontaneous purpose.

The originally unconscious nature has produced an almost "purposeful" landscape amid nearly infinite probabilities and spontaneous choices.

On this "chain", the charge carried by each "link" is turned into a tiny vector, pushing the long chain to fold in a specified direction, causing the whole chain to fall until the total energy of the system is reduced to a minimum.

This process is not random, but chaotic...

"Purpose"? "intention"?

No, it's "notes".

As a boy, Yawgmoth Voigt spent a lot of time playing music. There is another system in his brain, which is irrational and non-rigorous. It can occupy "brain resources for processing emotions and irrational thinking" and perform rhythmic thinking. Perhaps during the study in his youth, this system was also merged into another system - that harsh world constructed by cold rationality, a world that not only belonged to him, but also to all members of the scientific community. .

Xiangshan couldn't express this feeling. I'm afraid Yawgmoth himself didn't even realize it. This ability does not occur consciously, but is a patch spontaneously generated during the long-term operation of the brain, an imprecise instrument.

In Yawgmoth's eyes, the tiny vectors of left and right polypeptide long chain folding are a pair of invisible hands, playing invisible music.

The reaction that occurs every moment in the cells is a magnificent movement completed by countless invisible musicians.

It's just that this "big movement" is nothing like a symphony, with a strict chapter structure and precise coordination. It is full of simple and rough collaboration, with a lot of improvised performances, almost out of control but miraculously harmonious collaboration...

Free-spirited form.

Rather than being "alive", it is better to say that this is "life itself".

Xiangshan couldn't help but rub his chin and thought: "Although this guy Yog has almost never touched a musical instrument after college. But maybe he also has the potential ability to compose? It's just that he thinks 'music' is a talent he has given up... He own inherent concepts.”

Yawgmoth loved music. Therefore, he would feel that if he did not devote himself wholeheartedly to music, he would not have the ability to reap the fruits in the country of music.

It's as if Xiangshan didn't feel that he would be able to conduct high-end biological research after accepting the legacy of the Ninth Martial God.

Consciousness has put shackles on itself invisibly.

Yawgmoth actually has considerable acting skills. While fighting side by side with Xiangshan during the Secret War, he also came up with many "attention-grabbing" ideas. The essence of the Ninth War God is "AI plays 'Yawgmoth who plays Xiangshan'". Yawgmoth used countless politicians and speakers to strengthen the instigation power of the Ninth War God, but the Ninth War God's own skills as a singer , but it did not use deep learning to optimize too much. It was just Yawgmoth's own skills that were further developed and combined with Xiangshan's own way of thinking.

Ignoring the "depth" accumulated by human knowledge, ignoring the extremely high degree of specialization that disciplines have developed, and forcefully saying that "the great road is simple, so there is no difference in the top" is actually a great disrespect for the predecessors.

But all human skills are nothing more than the result of the human brain reflecting the external world. It must be something that exists in the human brain and can be accommodated by the biological brain.

Human beings have created "language", but language cannot contain truth. It was a tool for hunter-gatherers to exchange information, and was not created with the expectation that it could contain truth. Therefore, all the wise men in the world define "truth" as something that cannot be expressed, written down, or idolized.

Only fools will tirelessly search and record their observations of the world in words. Those soulless words, after several times of "seeking the greatest common denominator" operation, somehow transformed into science.

But until now, science still has not accommodated the truth.

At the frontier of science, at the boundary of human cognition, the greatest scientists lose the magic of "language". What he faced was the unknown, something that had not been described in words or paradigms. His situation was no different from that of his ancestors a hundred thousand years ago.

He could only face this world with the undecided part of his mind.

Outside the boundaries of human reason, the universe looks so unlovable when it falls into human eyes.

Reason may not be able to truly deal with the most primitive understandings in the human mind.

Every scholar has trouble explaining the original source of his inspiration. Ramanujan, a mathematician from India, described all his mathematical understanding as the secrets revealed to him by the goddess Lakshmi in a dream. And his mathematical friend Hardy was the hardest atheist. What Hardy seeks is "beauty". He described it this way, "We may not know what a beautiful poem means, but this does not prevent us from recognizing a beautiful poem when we read it."

Those original inspirations take very different forms among different scientists. It could be Ramanujan's god, the poetry Hardy sought, the improvisations on Einstein's violin, the mystery Newton sought in scriptural texts.

Regardless of the source, these ideas became a harmonious system after they were written down.

"Why? Is it because of... the use of brain resources? Rational thinking always has resources that cannot be used? So resort to irrational thinking? Because of long-term thinking, the irrational part is also included in one's own thinking. In the system?”

"The human brain has its limits after all, so..."

Ah, yes.

Similar techniques already exist in internal strength.

That is, through synesthesia, the original functions of the brain are invaded, and part of the brain resources originally focused on processing sensory information are invested in the attack and defense of the computer to achieve magical hacking skills.

Xiangshan and others used drugs, surgery, meditation and long-term technical training to achieve this state.

The Fools' long search is the original version of this training form. The purpose is somewhat different from the current internal strength, but the essence is similar.

Meditation is a psychological therapy summarized by the ancients in accordance with the nature of the brain.

"I have to lament once again that two hundred years ago we were forced to be too utilitarian." Xiang Shan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "The prelude to the cognitive revolution has actually appeared long ago."

This is the "rock music festival" in Yawgmoth's heart, the great movement of life.

Something Xiangshan had never seen before.

"You have to admit, I really stretched my hips in this area, very much." "Fanatical" closed his eyes, seeming to listen to the rock music beats between the polypeptide chain modeling, "Xiang Shan rarely glimpses such a landscape."

"Yes. For example, when we find a way to reveal Ogun's secret..."

“Is the inspiration of ‘a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky’ comparable to this ‘endless music festival’?”

Xiangshan was silent for a long time.

"Okay, okay, I admit that I am far behind in this aspect. I am the Oppenheimer type, and he is the Einstein type. The revolutionary division of labor is different, and there is no hierarchy."

Before entering the Ogun project, both Yingjia and Kanbara were committed to finding the source of their outstanding language talents. They want to put into words why they can acquire language.

What about everyone else?

Zhu Xinyu uses "intuition".

What about Anatole?

"This is really... quite interesting."

Xiangshan cut off the connection with the external device. He finally heard the music lingering in his ears.

He thought of another possibility.

Perhaps it is because the human brain is "not big enough" to accommodate two peak skills, so for some people, this situation has changed, and one skill is integrated into another less related skill. A form that only one can understand, elucidating the "external unknown" and "one's own sensibility."

but……

"Ah, yes, Cybermen can rely on external devices to continuously expand their brains."

Xiangshan is an expert in the skills that ordinary people can improve, such as laboratory team building and project management, but he has never seen such a scene.

And with the information brought by the Ninth Martial God, he finally saw the world in the eyes of a genius with the help of Yawgmoth's perspective.

Xiangshan thought: "What else do I need now?"

What kind of renovation plan? What kind of training method?

Xiangshan once again immersed himself in the "endless music festival".

He thought it might be almost done. The synthetic path he desired.
