Deep Space Fleet

After some discussion, everyone still decided to temporarily seal up this high-tech instrument except for some informatics deciphering, and then consider more refined research after the parent star environment stabilizes.

As for the high-dimensional fragment, it is even more difficult to deal with, and it can only be temporarily sealed.

Zhang Yuan sighed, and said: "In order to fix the loopholes in this high-dimensional prison, Gaia civilization's artificial intelligence Yita will cut off the connection with this high-dimensional fragment... So, if you enter again, you may fall into the real prison. In the high-dimensional space, there is no way for atoms to exist directly."

"...It is extremely difficult for us to decipher the mysteries of the high-dimensional world."

One of the scientists asked, "So, Dr. Zhang, what is the so-called Ku space?"

Zhang Yuan rubbed his temples: "I don't know, it's a term that doesn't exist in our human language library. Anyway, since the other party told me so, let's not act rashly. We paid the price of our lives, but there is no return It doesn't make much sense..."

After the discussion, whether curious or not, willing or not, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After the meeting, Captain Zhao still had some work to do, so he left the meeting room first.

After losing the restraint of the leader, everyone began to chat casually, including what the silver-white material on the instrument was, and whether it was metal or composite ceramics.

Even such a small issue has been debated for a long time, and some people are still betting happily. The bet is a few pieces of chocolate... Chocolate is a luxury with a high price, and even Zhang Yuan wants to participate in it with enthusiasm.

He thinks that those shells are just ordinary alloys... There are many things, and the performance is enough, there is no need to use particularly tall materials. He can assure you that people in the 50th century still used iron pans when cooking.

Some people are discussing how the uploading of consciousness is realized, whether the consciousness is really out of the human body, or is it idling in the computer?

What exactly is the energy system of this robot and so on.

There are too many things that can be discussed in a comprehensive alien technology product, and any one of them can be studied by human beings for a long time.

Among them, Zhang Yuan is most concerned about a philosophical issue.

Consciousness uploading, whether it is possible to achieve real... immortality!

The one who stood at the front and spoke was Ichiro Yamamoto, an expert in bionics.

"According to our preliminary analysis, according to this technology, it can upload everything in the human brain, including consciousness, spirit, thoughts, and memories, to computers or other artificial intelligence machines... Yes, it seems that the brain is not needed as hardware Support, anyway, I don't know how to achieve it. It is beyond imagination."

"Then this part of the data can be sent back to one's own body, so the person is resurrected again."

"So I have a few questions..."

"First, is 'I' this mass of data, anyway, it can be described as the soul or the brain of Ziman. As long as I have the support of this mass of data, is the real me? This question is very important to us. It is very important.”

"Second, is it possible to use this technology to replace the body to achieve true immortality?"

"Our bodies will age, which is inevitable. No matter how advanced the biotechnology is, it will still age. But if we have this technology, just prepare a new body and reinstall the data, can we restore youth?"

"There is also a third point. Can this mass of data be backed up to create new me in batches? When uploading consciousness, what about the original consciousness? Why did the original consciousness disappear? Is it dead? The consciousness generated later, Is it a clone with the same memory?"

"In other words, if a clone is created by erasing the original consciousness... well, what I'm talking about is if, for Dr. Zhang Yuan and Dr. Li Zhendong, several experimenters... this erasing and re-cloning technology , what's the point?"

Hearing these few questions, Zhang Yuan was a little creepy, and the discussions in the conference room gradually became louder.

He couldn't help turning his head back, and looked at Li Zhendong in blank dismay.

Li Zhendong has a serious face, frowning: "Then what... As one of the experiencers, I have already died once? I am already a new self? It shouldn't be... Ah, I died and I lived again , I'm dead again."

Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing.

Human beings are still in a rather naive state when it comes to philosophical discussions in this area. However, in the face of this problem, it has to be carefully considered.

What is the data uploaded by this group?

soul?

If there were souls in the world, then there would be nothing to worry about...

The point is that Zhang Yuan doesn't believe in the existence of souls at all. He will not attribute his own existence to an invisible, intangible, and unproven religious product.

If the soul cannot be verified, then there is no need to consider it.

In this world, there are too many things that cannot be verified. For example, if you define a living body A arbitrarily, assuming that it is eternal, immortal, and then define a substance B, it is also eternal, immortal. of. By analogy, C, D, E, F, G and other messy living body substances can be defined.

It is simply impossible to prove the existence of imagined A, B, or C, that is... there is no way to verify them, and it is impossible to disprove them. When these things have no effect on humans, there is no need to think about them.

This principle is called "Occam's razor principle".

Compared with the soul, Zhang Yuan believes in some theories of "Boltzmann's self-awareness" more.

He stood up and said, "Mr. Yamamoto, first of all, as an experiencer, I think... I am still the original me."

"Why do you say that? According to the 'Boltzmann Theory of Self-Awareness', human self-awareness is a series of quantum entangled states that appear in a unique environment. Quantum entangled states can achieve an overall transition, but they cannot be copied exactly."

"Why? Because once you try to copy, you must read and observe the entangled state inside. Once observed, the wave function will collapse."

"What is the result of the collapse of the wave function? Of course, it is the dissipation of self-awareness, and the person dies, becoming a fixed value instead of a random value."

"So, the will can be transferred, but not copied."

This statement is not very convincing. Bozmann's self-awareness theory itself is just a conjecture. Explanation by conjecture is not convincing.
