Deep Space Fleet

Zhang Yuan sighed, "Sometimes your civilization is more courageous than ours. Maybe our side knows too much, so we often worry about gains and losses. On the contrary, the experts on your side joined this plan without hesitation."

Andofu said: "Life and death... This topic is too complicated. If you can study mathematics better, there is nothing you can't refuse. It can be regarded as giving your all for your faith."

Zhang Yuan suddenly thought about something, and said, "However, Professor Cardofo, after modifying your thinking, your awareness of race may be weakened a lot. Even if the experiment is successful, it is impossible to leave the experiment for a while room."

This Professor Cardofo is the highest-ranking person in the Gliese civilization, and has established many foundations to help the tribe. His departure is equivalent to losing a pillar in the clan.

The pangolin shook its head and said, "Oh...it's nothing...I think this kind of price is acceptable. Our people can only rely on themselves in the end. I believe that without me, there is no special relationship."

"Yes, your idea is correct." Zhang Yuandao: "A normal race can function normally without anyone, and we humans are the same."

While chatting like this, everyone's nervousness gradually faded. At 8 o'clock in the morning, it was finally time for the experiment.

Fourteen experimenters lay down in a special instrument, Zhang Yuan closed his eyes, and after connecting various instruments, his self-awareness was quickly uploaded to a virtual world.

He is the only one in this virtual world host, but he can perceive the outside world through a special machine. The atmosphere in the Unreal Lab is very depressing, and every worker is carefully observing the parameters on the screen and doing the final proofreading work.

In fact, there is no need to operate too much, all the preparatory work has been completed in advance for decades, and the computer will automatically perform most of the steps.

They only need to pay attention to several key data.

"Is everyone ready?" Professor Yamamoto took a deep breath.

"No problem." Everyone replied one after another.

"NT New Humanity Project, officially started!"

Zhang Yuan felt his eyes dim in the next second, and then passed out.

Thought modification is a very delicate process, similar to memory instillation. The main risk is thinking collapse, memory loss, or self-awareness disappearing... After all, human beings have not yet cracked the true mystery of self-awareness so far. Just use the black box system to solve another black box problem.

About every 10% of the progress is completed, all experimenters will wake up once, report the current state of mind, detect the psychological situation, and then select the next thinking module.

Zhang Yuan is naturally the main reporter of this experiment. Memory will not dissipate during the transformation. Knowing the cognitive changes before and after, he can accurately report more effective information.

Time passed day by day. Due to the high complexity of this project, only 2% of the progress could be completed every day.

When the completion rate reached 46%, there were 2 failure cases;

At 72%, there were 3 more failure cases...

After finally reaching 100% completion, the winners... 9 people!

A total of 7 humans, 2 Gliese.

As the first complete transformation experiment, the success rate of 64% is not bad. All the staff inside the Unreal Lab were nervous and looking forward to it, they were waiting for the awakening of these reformers.

...

Zhang Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, his mind was clear, and he seemed to be flying in the air, lightly.

After just a few minutes, he began to slowly regain his sanity.

He suddenly heard a word from outside. A girl said happily from the outside world: "Professor Zhang has woken up! It's great, the first awakened person has appeared. Professor Zhang, how do you feel now?"

"I feel...good! Right now it's like lying on a ball of cotton."

The female doctor was startled, and quickly asked: "It feels like lying on cotton? Why?"

"I don't know why I'm feeling this way. It's slowly going away...it feels normal now."

Zhang Yuan is checking his physical condition. Since his thoughts were uploaded, he is still in the virtual world. The body is in the shape of a human, and its appearance has not changed, but there are no more physiological activities such as heartbeat and pulse.

He has abandoned his physical body and transformed into a digital life form.

"Do you still have any feelings now? I have observed that all your parameters and indicators are all good."

He feels really good, his thinking is very clear, and his mental state is also very good...or he has never been so optimistic and open-minded, full of hope for the future of mankind.

Level 5 civilization... seems to be just around the corner!

Zhang Yuan asked, "How's the result of the experiment?"

"From the results, 9 people succeeded, and 5 people failed... You are the first to wake up, and they are all still in the process of adapting their consciousness."

"Did 5 people fail..."

A sigh flashed in Zhang Yuan's heart, he still retained these negative emotions. Looking at the list of losers again, he sighed secretly. These were once famous people, but they sacrificed their lives like this.

The girl said: "If you have the energy now, I will give you a question about political leanings, please answer seriously."

"Ok, no problem."

A large screen appeared in front of Zhang Yuan, and the information was still transmitted visually. In fact, it is not impossible to directly transmit the information to the mind, but in the beginning of the experiment, if you can be cautious, you still have to be cautious. These non-core functions are not too important and can be improved in the future.

Political orientation is an important component of ideology. In sociology, it is divided into social constructionism and essentialism, restorative justice and punitive justice, progressivism and conservatism, internationalism and nationalism, communism and capitalism, normative There are multiple opposites such as doctrine and laissez-faire, ecology and productivism, revolution and reformism.

And within a certain ideology, there are a large number of different branches, left-leaning, right-leaning, and so on.

After modifying thinking, some individuals' political leanings may change very drastically. For example, democratic socialism may transform into state socialism, or into scientific socialism.

After Zhang Yuan completed this task, he found that his political orientation had not changed much, and the coordinate plane shifted by about 17.9 percentage points. It's not really a big number

The main reason is that his original thinking is not too different from the current one. A large part of the thinking framework is provided by himself, so there is a certain overlap.

"The findings ... were in line with expectations."

"Please complete this psychological survey again."

The main content of this psychological report is the psychological tendency and anti-social investigation of the experimenters.

In order to avoid some unknown troubles, in the new thinking framework, the traditional concepts of male and female are temporarily delineated, but the distinction between them has been diluted a lot.

After all, this is only the first generation of thinking modification plan, and it can still be modified from generation to generation.

It also investigated whether you have an appetite, whether you want to sleep, whether you have a preferred color, your favorite book, which kind of opposite sex you like, etc...

Authoritative experts in this field came up one after another to ask questions. Through a screen, Zhang Yuan spent almost a day answering one by one.

"Don't you want to eat?"

"I'm not sure, you can eat it or not. It doesn't feel bad."

In the virtual world, exquisite meals can be prepared, and Zhang Yuan can still enjoy the food from it, which is similar to the electronic hormones of hemispheric civilization.

Usually, though, the pleasure is comparable to sleep. He doesn't specifically choose to eat, it becomes a dispensable thing.
