Enter the Immortal Cultivation

Chenfeng's answer was simple.

"The human heart" is the object of his research.

But Wang Qi was very dissatisfied with this conclusion: "Who are you fooling? Can you study such a large project alone? Now is not the time when the discipline has just been established. Be specific."

With the deepening of research, the differentiation of disciplines will become more and more detailed. Take the history of the Earth as an example. In Galileo's time, a stronger scientist could study all the physics that could be studied. But by the beginning of the twentieth century, even Einstein was unable to study all areas of physics.

When Chen Feng said "people's hearts", it seemed too general. According to Wang Qi's scientific research methods in his previous life, one functional area of ​​the human brain is enough to support thousands of researchers.

"To be more specific, it's the formation of the human heart." Chen Feng asked, "Do you know the theory of the Three Purities?"

Wang Qi nodded: "The human heart is divided into three parts. The most fundamental part is the blood instinct, which is called Yuanshi, and it is called Yuqing. The one that restricts Yuanshi is morality, which is called Taiqing. The duties that the original heart can grasp are called spiritual treasures. , said Shangqing.”

Chen Feng nodded: "This theory actually has a lot of loopholes and is very primitive and crude, but it gave me a lot of ideas."

"I told you that I am doing two lines of research. One is to study the relationship between brain, soul and thinking, and the other is to study human nature and human heart. The former one is Yuqing Yuanshi, and the latter one is Taiqing morality. ”

What is the human heart? What is consciousness?

Looking at it from different angles, there are different answers. The beholder has different opinions and the wise have different opinions.

In the eyes of Wang Qi, a guy reincarnated as a physicist, human consciousness is an existence formed by information organized in the form of negative entropy, and it may occupy a special position in the physical system. For most biologists, consciousness is not that mysterious. It is just a function of the human brain and the result of a large number of neuron operations.

Chen Feng obviously belongs to the latter. His main research is how this "result" is formed.

"My boss, your idea is a bit strange." Wang Qi frowned: "There is really not much connection between the two sides of this project."

According to his understanding, the former is neuroscience and the latter is social science, which are very different.

Chen Feng shook his head: "I don't study what 'morality' is specifically, nor do I study what 'morality' is ethical. I only study how morality comes into being and how it interacts with Yuanshi. In the same way, I don't study either What is the use of a certain instinctive reaction, what is its mechanism, and how it is produced. I only study how these numerous reactions form the huge 'Yuan Shi', and how the 'Yuan Shi' interacts with 'morality' to form the spiritual treasure."

Wang Qi asked again: "Then why do we need to deal with the big topic of 'humanity'?"

"If you want to understand 'morality', you must know where it comes from." Facing Wang Qi's pointed question, Chen Feng was confident: "Do you know what a 'pseudo-social creature' is?"

Wang Qi shook his head. He only knows about "social creatures", such as ants and bees. As for "pseudo-sociality", he really doesn't know.

"This concept is also a very partial term in Spirit Beast Mountain. It's only normal that you don't know." Chen Feng said seriously: "This term actually refers specifically to the human race."

Humans are not typical social creatures. The sociality of ants and bees is rooted in instinct, while human sociality is not based on genetics. If a baby is isolated from the crowd at birth, he will definitely not be able to speak, not know how to think, and will not show any sociality when he grows up.

At this point, humans are even inferior to wolves.

However, it is difficult for a single person to survive far away from the group. And the power exerted by the crowd together is far more powerful than fighting alone.

This is another typical social creature.

Chen Feng calls this strange phenomenon "pseudo-sociality".

"Since human morality does not come from blood, then it must come from humanity."

“Humanity comes from the gathering of people’s hearts.”

"The two are actually one."

"I have to admit, I somewhat admire you, Master." Wang Qi couldn't help but applaud: "The idea is very good. So what is your goal?"

Chen Feng knocked on the table and said with a smile: "The goal of this line of humanity is actually not big, but according to our contract, I can't tell you that much. So please allow me to keep this a secret."

This is the modern scientific research team. In addition to the leader of the experimental project, the following apprentices doing the experiment do not need to know the overall plan of the experiment, nor do they need to know the ultimate goal of the experiment - of course, it does not rule out that they cannot understand the experimental data at all.

But it was Chen Feng's secretive expression that made Wang Qi shiver.

Isn't this guy's goal "to unite all the immortal cultivators in China"? Or is it "a ghost, a red ghost wandering in the mainland of China"?

In addition to this strictly confidential goal, Chenfeng's other research goals are very clear. His research is actually integrated with his practice, and it is also a complete system.

First of all, the goal of studying nerves and souls is to deepen his understanding of the theoretical basis of Yangshen Pavilion. Then fine-tune the mental method, complete the construction of the golden elixir, and pave the way to the soul.

The goal of studying the human heart and human thinking is to strengthen the power of his illusion-like spells. Only by understanding the human heart well enough can we grasp the human heart.

And this plan also has a sub-project - acquired will, or artificial intelligence.

Constructing a blank will from scratch is very helpful for Chen Feng to understand the existence of the spirit. And Chen Feng's research on the human heart can also be continuously supplemented into this artificial intelligence.

Wang Qi was surprised and said: "Let's not talk about the first two goals for now. How long do you plan to do the latter one?"

"Maybe a few hundred years?" Chen Feng smiled and reported a research cycle that earth scientists would never dare to imagine: "There must be some long-term planning."

Okay, I forgot again... For earth scientists, it is a major project that can only be completed by several generations, and for the immortal cultivators in this world, it is a long-term plan...

"In other words, my task is to specialize in the last one?" Wang Qi seemed to have realized: "The acquired will is related to the calculator and mathematical logic. My foundation-building ideas come from the calculator theory and calculator architecture. Then when it comes to mathematical logic, I can definitely be said to be the first among my peers-right?"

"In fact, there is also the matter of modeling for human mathematics, but Jia can be responsible for this part." Chen Feng said very sincerely: "I said at the beginning that this project must be you."

"That's it?"

"Uh, it's written in the contract, and data processing is also your job..."
