My mythical world

"Yes," the robot nodded. "You know that I am a master of stream of consciousness. The direction of my research is to upload souls to the Internet and get rid of the fragile mortal body. The person standing in front of you now is Byron's main personality. I am here There is still a backup consciousness in the secret base.

After this robot is accidentally destroyed, my consciousness stored in other computers will reawaken, inherit the personality cube, and become the new me. This is similar to the practice method of dividing the mind and splitting the soul. In fact, I also followed this practice method. "

The robot Byron swung its mechanical arm and explained to his companions a little stiffly: "It's a pity that Phoenix Fierce has little interest in this aspect. Even so, he gave me some casual guidance, which also benefited me a lot. You may not know this epoch-making The importance of genius.

I can say this, if Phoenix really puts its interest in exploring space in the direction of uploading consciousness and sharing the network, then our Gaian civilization may abandon everything in this world, upload consciousness of all members, and survive as pieces of data. in the network.

In reality, only robots are active, so the shortage of resources and energy will be greatly alleviated. "

Byron, who has become the first person to upload his consciousness, now really thinks of himself as a Gaian. He has always been interested in the direction of mechanical immortality. Now the Wind Dragon God listens to his wishes and actually wants to lead the entire civilization to a wrong. The Wind Dragon God The corner of his mouth twitched:

"The consciousness of all members is uploaded to the network and turned into mechanical humans. You have a very big imagination. Although this consumes very few resources, and civilization only needs computers to build a network, you don't think that this will cause the loss of evolution. Diversity? Be careful that your ability to resist risks is too weak. If you encounter any cosmic virus, everyone will attack.

When the time comes, there will be no escape. "

When talking about this topic, the robot is no longer bored, "Don't think I'm joking, I have deduced it on the computer after reincarnation. If we encounter obstacles in our journey of space conquest, we will be unable to break through the solar system and colonize alien planets." . Then as the resources of the home planet continue to be consumed, the Gaians will probably follow the path I mentioned.

At that time, everyone's consciousness will be turned into a piece of data like mine, living on the Internet. To put it bluntly, human soul consciousness is just assembled based on the activity of brain cells and neurons. If the hardware human brain is replaced by a computer CPU, the kernel software is still us, so what is the difference? "

The Wind Dragon God shook his head, feeling that the reincarnated Byron might have been stimulated, and his thoughts were more extreme, "If the millennium bug comes out again like this, if it can't be resisted, then the Gaians will be exterminated. Why don't you, a good person, Yes, I want to be a robot.

I don’t know the ups and downs from now on, and I look pitiful. "

Based on his understanding of Byron, although Byron is obsessed with mechanical immortality, he will not risk his soul to do the experiment. He is not Phoenix Fierce.

"It's a long story, and it's not what I wanted." Then the robot and the Wind Dragon God talked about what happened on the earth not long ago. He was reincarnated after he died on the earth, "That's it, and I secretly built this secret base to test the consciousness uploading technology as a back-up for myself, but I didn’t expect that it would be used one day.”

"What will you do next?"

"The Earth cannot be returned. From now on, I will be a Gaian and will only fight for this world. However, if I have the opportunity, I still want to return to the Earth network. After all, I am now in data form. It may be easier to return than you. There is still me there. Something needed.”

Obviously, this unexpected change on earth had a great impact on Byron. It is difficult to paint a dragon or a tiger, and it is difficult to know the person but not the heart. Who would have thought that he would eventually die at the hands of a commander he was familiar with. Now he is essentially just a string of data and a string of codes. It is different from other creatures and is closer to GOD and the Emperor of Heaven.

This conversation with Byron made the Wind Dragon God deeply touched. He had already been here in the third era. Now he has spent more time in Gaia than on the earth. The boundaries between virtuality and reality have also been blurred. Both companions have has been reincarnated, and he is the only one left.

Wind Dragon God suddenly thought of what Mengyao said during her interview, "I firmly believe that one day, the barriers between dimensions will be broken and the two worlds will be connected."

Not knowing what would happen one day, the Wind Dragon God shook his head and said goodbye to Byron. He needed some peace and quiet.

On the Earth Network, "It's confirmed, Byron was indeed killed on Earth." Wind Dragon God replied with certainty.

His actions made netizens and other players angry. They all demanded severe punishment for those who killed Byron. However, George had already been sentenced to 999 years for "crimes against humanity", and the judge had no choice but to add 100 years.

"However, Byron on Earth is dead, but Byron on Gaia is still alive, and it is a new life form." In a twist of events, the Wind Dragon God's words puzzled everyone.

"Boss, what do you mean by this? After he died on earth, he was reincarnated in Gaia? Then can Byron return to earth?" One netizen asked, and important officials in the US government were also staring at the computer. .

No one knows what will happen to the players in the world after they are killed, and it seems that Byron is the best test this time?

Wind Dragon God smiled and said nothing, and simply uploaded a recorded video to the forum.

"Dear netizens from all over the earth, I am the player Byron who has been making a lot of noise recently. Now I live a very good life on Gaia, I have no worries about food and clothing, I eat delicious food, and I feel great."

Clang.

In the video, a high-tech robot used a mechanical arm to hit its steel body, making a cold joke to everyone. The netizens who were watching almost dropped their mouths in shock. No matter how wild their imaginations were, they could not imagine that today's players would have such a life form.

"Abandoning the body of carbohydrates, but choosing to upload consciousness and transform into a replaceable steel body? Wonderful, there are similar ideas on Earth, but I didn't expect that Byron on the other end has already realized it in advance. Can you tell me what principle he used?"

"Is this robot Byron, or his replica? My brain is too small to understand his current life form. Existing in the CPU of the computer, or a data ghost."

"What's incomprehensible? Know that GOD and the Emperor of Heaven are not scattered like stars in the sky, and gathered like a ball of fire. He can be a robot, or he can be moved to a computer across the ocean. How fast the thinking is, how fast he is."

There is a fierce debate on the Internet about Byron's current form. Whether in Gaia or on Earth, this is a new life form, pointing a clear way for the earthlings who are confused about immortality.

"The human body is a "machine" made of carbohydrates. It grows stronger by absorbing nutrients from the mother's body, and then grows and ages in the outside world. The organs of the body age step by step. Many people will have problems with their internal organs, blood, brain, and other organs in their old age.

What if our bodies are replaced with replaceable robots? Don't be disgusted and oppose instinctively. Do you know that in the field of sports, many outstanding athletes have problems with their ankles and knees due to years of overload training? They have replaced their bones with alloy bones. If they replace them step by step and abandon the original parts and organs, isn't this a robot?"

A master of biological immortality took the opportunity to share his views on the Internet and give a speech for his own theory.

"From the feet to the neck, peeling and replacing step by step, replacing all the aging and diseased organs, this sounds good, but what about the most important head? Our soul consciousness is the top priority. Just like the CPU and software in a computer.

If this problem is not solved, mechanical immortality will always be empty talk." An opponent replied.

"Simulate the structure of the human brain and create the first mechanical brain? But human organs are the same. In fact, there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same. This technology content is too high. Through the three major online games, we know that the human body does have soul consciousness.

In the extraordinary world, the strong can fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and their souls can travel in the void. The souls are separated from the body and absorb the energy of heaven and earth to continuously strengthen themselves. When we crack the mystery of the soul, we can truly control life and death. Who says that only the body has a lifespan, and the soul has no lifespan?"

Byron is in Gaia, but there are legends about him on Earth. The topic of immortality can always stir up the deepest string in everyone's heart. Life is in the world, and birth, aging, illness and death cannot be escaped.

After seeing the online video, the US military searched his relics more carefully. Byron did record some information in his books. He recorded it with symbols that only he could understand, or accidentally wrote a sentence or two in a notebook.

But these were enough to make scientists ecstatic. Soon, Byron's relics were classified as top secret, copied and distributed to various research laboratories, and the originals were sealed and stored in the highest-level research base.

They needed to first decipher what the symbols he casually drew represented through Kito's life experience from childhood to adulthood.

But soon, the top scientists of the American Empire embarrassingly discovered that although a few of them were indeed experimental conjectures that Gaia was conducting, most of them were just his unintentional graffiti and had no real meaning.

Byron's deeds not only caused a sensation on Earth, but also shocked the world on Gaia. At present, the robot Byron is accepting reporters' reports and showing his new life form to all Gaians. He said that being free from the constraints of the flesh is more beneficial for our development of space.

There are no problems such as birth, aging, illness and death, and organ aging.

It is said that some people at the top are indeed considering that interstellar voyages are too long, and it takes hundreds of years at a time. The fleet carries limited supplies, and it will also be consumed if it is frozen for a long time. What if we just entrust the network to the computer and use robots to explore?

During such a long interstellar voyage, not only is the energy consumption low, but they can also entertain themselves in the computer and research new projects, which is not a waste of life.

"Haha, Byron is very bold, or is it an accident?"

Fenghuang Xiongzhen, who returned to his laboratory from the Arctic, also turned on the computer and saw the current status of his old friend. Fenghuang Xiongzhen was also surprised.

Christina, who was standing by, handed over a cup of coffee. She looked at the robot on the screen and asked, "Is it really good for him to be like this? It feels like he has lost his humanity. He doesn't have the five senses of a living being and can't enjoy the fun of eating, drinking and having fun."

"Who said that? If he wants to taste delicious food, he only needs to input the corresponding electronic signal. All kinds of emotions are more convenient than us." Fenghuang Xiongzhen was surprised.

"But these are all fake. If it were me, I would definitely not change to a mechanical body. It always feels awkward. There are so many delicious foods in the world that I haven't tasted." Christina spread her hands and said.

"What is virtual? What is reality? For Byron, the electronic signals fed back now are his reality, and his life form is no longer the same. Summer insects cannot talk about ice, so how can we comment on the senses of different creatures with our inherent thoughts.

Perhaps for him, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all burdens. Getting rid of the rut of the body and devoting himself to research and exploring the universe are his greatest enjoyment. "Phoenix Xiongzhen looked at the robot Byron without blinking, with an obsessed look on his face.

Christina suddenly felt a little scared, "Will you choose to become a robot like Byron in order to improve work efficiency and get rid of worldly troubles in the future?"

"No." Phoenix Xiongzhen answered very confidently, before the assistant was relieved, "I want to transform my life form, and it must be transformed into a higher energy or nebula form."

Pah!

Christina angrily took back the unfinished coffee in his hand, turned around and left angrily. Xiongzhen sat there with a blank face.

"A woman's heart is harder to guess than a black hole."

At this moment, a cute Q version of the little man emerged from the computer screen. Little GOD, wearing a white sweater, jumped and jumped to Xiongzhen's shoulder. It suddenly quietly leaned into Xiongzhen's ear.

"Hehe, do you want little GOD to tell you a big secret? It's about Byron who just transformed himself into a data life. "

Phoenix Xiongzhen turned his head to observe. His assistant was still sulking and had no time to pay attention to him. He whispered: "Byron's current state is similar to yours. You are bottom-up, gradually approaching normal creatures and acquiring humanity by collecting human behavior templates.

And he is top-down, gradually depriving humanity. As time goes by, he will one day become a real mechanical intelligence.

Naughty little guy, what do you want to tell me. "

"Hehe. ｂ（￣▽￣）ｄ"

Little GOD came forward, close to Xiongzhen's ear, and whispered: "Didn't you wonder that Byron sometimes had strange ideas from time to time, which were completely different from our world, and there was a sense of alienation. This time when he transformed into a digital life, although he was very careful and didn't reveal anything, when his companion Fenglongshen came to him, he mentioned a name and a planet when communicating with President Meng of the Dansi Federation. "

"Oh? What name? "The experienced Phoenix Xiongzhen's heart rarely beat. This name may be the hometown of the mysterious three people, Byron, Mengyao, and Feng Longshen.

"Earth." Little GOD turned over on Phoenix Xiongzhen's shoulder, and showed Xiongzhen the message that Feng Longshen sent to Mengyao in a hurry through Skynet:

[You don't know that Byron's true identity has been discovered. He is a researcher at a US military base, so his early research was particularly fast. It is rumored that he has been shot! I will go and see it myself now.]

PS: This chapter is a personal article. The death of my elders and fellow authors not long ago made me deeply touched. Immortality has troubled many heroes, emperors and generals from ancient times to the present. Human body Theoretically, the life span can reach 120 to 175 years. But the problem is that once you reach old age, your body will undoubtedly go downhill, all kinds of problems will emerge, and all organs will rebel.

The mechanical immortality mentioned in the article is too far away. The human body is the most exquisite and suitable body for you. Unless one day we can figure out the essence of the soul and consciousness, we can "take over". Otherwise, you should be honest and repair the body you are born with.

Many foreigners have chosen to freeze themselves because of illness, and put their hopes on future technological progress to thaw. my country's Three-Body Editor is the first Chinese frozen person, but I personally think , this method has too many variables, and today's technology is far from being able to fully protect the brain.

As I said, life is unpredictable. Living every day well is the most important thing. As I have mentioned many times in the book, the past is irreversible, the future is unpredictable, and the most important thing is to grasp the present. Health is the first, and you should enjoy a year of happiness. It's a pity that we were not born in the distant future, otherwise, not to mention immortality, longevity is not a problem.

But then again, if you were born in ancient times, you might not have enough to eat and you might have died at the age of 40. It turns out that humans are creatures that will never be satisfied.

This chapter is considered This is a personal opinion. The death of my elders and colleagues not long ago touched me deeply. Immortality has troubled many heroes, emperors and generals since ancient times. The theoretical life span of the human body can reach 120 to 175 years old. But the problem is that once you reach old age, your body will undoubtedly go downhill, all kinds of problems will emerge, and all organs will rebel.

The mechanical immortality in the article is too far away. The human body is the most exquisite and suitable body. Unless one day we can figure out the essence of the soul and consciousness, we can "take over". Otherwise, we should be honest and repair this body we were born with.
