Frost Wings

"Why? Is there any other way to rescue our Trisolaran?" The Trisolaran's tone became a little hurried.

The topic ended briefly and started again. In the laboratory now, all the three-body people are focused on the holographic translation machine in front of the cultivation tank. Only the entered three-body person is still continuing his work ticking.

Even the Trisolarans from the supervision department focused their attention on Bai Long.

"Before discussing this topic, I want to use the topic just now as an entry point, I hope you won't think I'm long-winded."

"We are very patient, you can explain your ideas in as much detail as possible, it doesn't matter whether it is feasible or not." The three-body man said seriously.

"Ha! I believe you can tell whether my statement is feasible or not. Let's continue the topic just now. I just asked a question, which is more complicated, the computing system possessed by the human brain or the sophon? Your answers just now are incomparable. now what?"

"There is no doubt that it is the latter." The Trisolaran said affirmatively: "The Earthlings simply cannot understand how much effort we Trisolarans have put in to develop such a great technology. Our answer just now is based on the fact that the human mind is" Transparent' and 'unobservable' above, now that this claim has been proven false, this question naturally has a clear answer."

"Then suppose, if you successfully understand the mechanism of human brain movement, can you make an artificial brain with various functions of the human brain easier than making a sophon?"

"It's absolutely possible." The three-body man said affirmatively: "As long as the database is successfully established, this technology will not be difficult for us. We can even use data to simulate the exchange of pheromone between synapses! And it's completely fake!"

"Then let's imagine a scenario. Suppose you simulate the mechanism by which the human brain transmits information and successfully create an artificial brain made of machinery. Suppose there is a way to connect this artificial brain to a real brain. On the human brain, if the artificial brain does not cause rejection, can this person's thinking be applied to two brains?"

"It doesn't sound like a problem, if the pheromone connection can really be handled well."

"Is it possible to handle it?"

"Probably need an intermediary translation system." The three-body man discussed it and said, "It can accept the pheromone from the human brain, convert it into other signals and input it to the artificial brain."

"Then now let's go to the next step, there is a clever operator, in the case of this connection established, the living human brain is divided into parts of the body in turn cut off, and the connecting nerves of these parts are connected to the artificial brain. , let the artificial brain replace the functions of these parts. Finally, the most critical part comes, gradually reducing the nutrient supply of the original human brain and causing the original human brain to become chronically necrotic, so that in the end, the artificial brain you made has successfully replaced the original human brain. brain function."

"...Technically it's not difficult to achieve, what's the point of this?"

"Of course it makes sense. The essence of human memory and thinking is the flow of pheromones, so when signals flow between the two brains, human thinking will gradually transfer to the artificial brain, and in the process of the old brain gradually dying , this transfer will be further accelerated until all thinking and memory activities are transferred to the artificial brain. Is this essentially a kind of soul transfer?

If we take out this artificial brain at this time and put a robot body on it..."

"Wait a minute." The three-body man suddenly stopped drinking, he realized something, and his voice trembled from the translator: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Why don't the Trisolarans abandon their biological forms and transfer their civilization to other carriers that are easier to survive in the universe? For example, robots." Bai He smiled strangely: "Look, this is for you now, It's not difficult to do at all... If your physical body is like a robot, you can survive in an environment from the boiling point to the freezing point, why should you be dehydrated and gamble your life in a chaotic era?

Even if one wants to escape the hellish environment like Trisolaran, the machine body has no need for air or food, all it needs is energy and materials, and it can survive in space. Even if you need to build a base, you can find a target in a stable star system not far from the Trisolaran galaxy. You only need a planet with mineral resources. You don’t need to consider the natural environment and atmosphere at all. You need to run a few lights. Do you want to compete with people on Earth for living space outside of the year? "

hum~

After a brief silence, there was a sound like an explosion from the laboratory.

Colorful rays of light continued to bloom from the Trisolarans in the laboratory. There were always Trisolarans glowing and making noises. The original order in the laboratory exploded. It seemed that even the supervision department had given up on the order. Control, caught in a hysterical argument.

"No! You lunatic! This is not the right path! You are exterminating the Trisolarans!" One of the Trisolarans rushed to the simultaneous translator and shouted excitedly to Baihe.

"Calm down." Bai He smiled even more strangely: "The biggest problem that Trisolarans face is that the natural conditions are too harsh to survive. So instead of finding a suitable natural environment, isn't it different to transform yourself to adapt to the environment? A way of thinking? At least according to what I said, you can get rid of the threat of these three parent stars as quickly as possible, and you don’t have to worry about the problem of your new home, isn’t it?”

"But the Trisolaran who lost his body is still a Trisolaran?" Another trisolaran who looked like a scientist pushed the person in front of him, his tone was very calm.

"Before facing this question, you should first ask yourself, what is your perception of yourself? Is it your consciousness? Or is it just your body? If one day your body dies but your soul exists Come down, do you think your own state is life or death?"

"No, neither of the two is not a complete me!"

"This is your idea, but I personally think that the concept of being alive tends to exist in consciousness rather than the body. After all, if I lose the consciousness of the existence of the body, I still have the ability to think and self-cognition, but I lose consciousness and only exist in the body. What's the difference between being dead?" Bai He laughed, he looked at the trisolaran who was arguing, then looked at the trisolaran in front of the communicator: "I'm sure there are many people in this room and what you think. Not the same. I'm sorry I can't read it, but you can see what they're thinking?"

"To solve the existential crisis, it is enough to conquer the earth!" the three-body man exclaimed.

"Oh? Is that so? Earth people really don't have much power to resist you," Bai He looked directly into the eyes of the Trisolaran: "But you are really not afraid of the law of the dark forest? As long as your control over human beings is a little loose, only All your efforts will be ruined if one slips through the net! Are you really so confident?"

"Wait! The Law of the Dark Forest? Where did you hear that!? None of us told you!"

Bai He ignored the three-body man's questioning, and continued to speak like a barrage of guns:

"Think about it, even if the Trisolaran finally wins, it will only be the conquerors who will reach the earth in the future, and what will you get yourself? How many resources do you need to build a cosmic fleet? How many Eternal Era do you need? The production of the next voyage can be enough to collect the ticket for the next voyage? At that time, will you still be able to survive the chaotic era again and again? What if it is a disaster of the magnitude of the four-star series? The last time he tore this planet. It has become one big and one small and two and a half, what about the next time?

How many years of development do you need to talk about so-called civilization again? Do you think you are so lucky not to be engulfed by the stars before conquering the earth?

And if you do as I plan, what will you get? ! Solving the existential crisis is just the beginning! When the soul is freed from the **** of the body, the first thing you will get is the near-eternal infinite time brought by technology! Not the so-called 'alive' in a frozen warehouse! As long as the energy and maintenance are in place, a Trisolaran's consciousness can exist almost indefinitely! until the end of the universe! And what you have lost is just the carrier of consciousness, 'life'!

What is there to love about this body? It's fragile! You have carefully protected him, but you still cannot guarantee that you will survive every chaotic era! Even if you are lucky enough to live to the Era of Eternity, you have to pay all of your labor and work hard to survive the next Era of Chaos!

What this body gives you is only the fatigue and pain of struggling to survive, the fear and despair of facing death all the time, but you haven't enjoyed much of the benefits it should have given you!

He did give birth to the Trisolaran civilization, but the Trisolaran civilization does not necessarily have to rely on this fragile body to exist! He's just a dangerous, painful and unstable cradle, what's wrong with abandoning it for freedom and survival?

Besides, you are so sure that the Trisolaran civilization that has changed its form of existence and carrier must be unacceptable to you? Oh~ you guys seem to have a problem. "

In the sound of Baihe's speech, a sudden change occurred in the laboratory.

The piercing siren sounded suddenly, and the Trisolaran who was sitting in front of the recorder suddenly ran towards the gate. A guard shot him continuously from behind with a strange-looking weapon. The Trisolaran kept moving and quickly disappear completely.

"Come on! He leaked the secret!" The research room fell silent in an instant, everyone rushed out, and only one guard remained in the laboratory.

The room was quiet again.
