Yamamoto explained very quickly: "Human memory itself can be read and copied, just like a hard disk. But you know, there is no way to work directly with a hard disk. It needs to be powered on, it needs some driver."

"The quantum algorithm of" self-awareness "is equivalent to running software on a hard disk. It cannot be forcibly read or copied. It can only realize the overall transition. It must rely on the memory itself to have full functions ... It doesn't make much sense. Software, hardware, everything. "

Yamamoto opened the computer screen in the laboratory with a "rat" uploaded consciously.

The "mouse" was in a daze in the computer, without moving, as if stupid.

"Look, this is the self-awareness of a mouse."

"It doesn't move, it's because of self-awareness and memory, there is no communication ... there is no body, even instinct, and I can only stand here in a daze."

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and asked, "Why is a mouse on the screen ... and not something else?"

This question sounds a little weird, but it is extremely important.

Now that it has been separated from the flesh and turned into a mass of two-dimensional data, why are mice or mice instead of things like cats and dogs, and maybe humans?

"Oh, this is arbitrarily set. It is our virtual body that we add according to the memory of the mouse ... Of course, it can also be set as a cat." Yamamoto froze for a while and said, "It is just data. No, although there is no way to directly observe the core, we can observe external performance. We give it a virtual body and we can know what it is doing. "

"Observing this virtual body is not a problem, and it will not affect the collapse of 'self-awareness.' If you look at the internal data, it will die directly."

Zhang Yuan pondered for a while, and smiled bitterly: "It's really quantum mechanics ... if you hide a layer of skin, will the function not collapse?"

"Yes, once observed, the function collapses and loses randomness.

"Say like that, even God can't predict what humans will do in the next second?"

Yamamoto nodded. "Theoretically, what kind of thoughts will be generated next second cannot be predicted. But mind reading is still possible ... because there is no way to directly observe the algorithm itself, but the data generated by the algorithm, That is memory, as long as you are careful, you can still observe. "

"... We may even change our personality by modifying our memory! But it also involves a self-conscious matching mode ... Mr. Zhang Yuan, please support this technology."

Talking, this guy started to get crazy, and all kinds of cranky thoughts heard Zhang Yuan's cold on his back.

Well, this guy Yamamoto has no traditional morality at all. He doesn't even consider how these technologies that spy on privacy, or even modify privacy, will cause panic to the people.

Zhang Yuan thought hard for a while and quickly rejected some of his requests. What a joke, although the new civilization is pursuing progress, but now releasing these technologies is the rhythm of killing yourself!

"To realize these functions, I don't know if it will take the year of the monkey, but now it's just relying on the technology of the Gaia civilization ... Can we imitate the biological computer? It's still a problem."

Zhang Yuan patted each other's shoulders, motioned him to be down-to-earth, don't think about stepping into the sky all day long.

Then came the various comparative experiments. The poor mouse's conscious body was tossed and tossed.

By linking "self-awareness" to the memory storage area, the mouse quickly recovered from its original dull appearance.

It was frightened by this blue light spot background board, spreading its feet and running wildly, but how could it run to a safe corner in such a place?

After running for a few minutes like this, I don't know what's going on. The conscious body seems to be tired. It stopped gradually.

Yamamoto pressed a button, the "self-awareness" was disconnected from the memory storage area again, and the mouse became a dementia, as if nothing had happened.

"Because the mouse's brain is relatively simple, self-awareness and memory can be easily separated, and things like monkeys are more difficult."

Several staff members reset the data in the memory area to the original appearance.

Reconnecting again, the mouse started to run away again, the whole reaction is exactly the same as before.

However, in these two repeated labs, Zhang Yuan was keenly aware of some differences, and the movements of the mice seemed to have slight differences.

He said: "That is to say, even with the same memory as the basis, the same self-consciousness will react differently, is that so?"

Yamamoto replied: "Yes, it is the so-called randomness of life itself! But this randomness is not random, but fluctuates within a region."

Zhang Yuan also asked, "So what happens when the memory of one rat matches the self-consciousness of another rat?"

"It is very likely that it will become a fool ... but if the memories of the two mice are mixed in a certain pattern, there is a small probability of success. Why we succeeded, we do not yet understand. It may be like a fantasy Soul Pass, one has devoured the other. "

After reading this experiment, Zhang Yuan felt a bit uncomfortable. Memory and self-awareness may be the most inexplicable and incomprehensible black technology that human beings have come into contact with ...

How to say, the top scientist in the entire laboratory, like the black wizard in the fantasy story, is trying to manipulate the soul?

This experiment of stuffing the "self-consciousness" of one life into the memory of another creature ... is there any difference from the black wizard's soul?

Of course, science is science after all, it is a methodology, not the so-called empiricism.

Quantum consciousness is not the soul; repeated experiments are not for the purpose of killing, but only for better exploration of nature.

"So, Professor Yamamoto, what do you mean you want to recruit VR game testers here?"

Zhang Yuan frowned ~ www.readwn.com ~ and asked: "If you want to use humans to conduct self-conscious experiments, it is not allowed ... even just reading human memory is serious. Acts that violate the right to privacy, and I hope you will know and observe laboratory discipline. "

"No no no!" Yamamoto quickly waved his hand. "I still know that."

"VR game testers are mainly to test the background space after uploading self-awareness ... that is, the technology of virtual space. It is not so simple to form a real habitable environment."

"Background space?" Zhang Yuan thought of it. It was a space full of blue light spots. He could feel gravity and breathe, but the whole feeling was very monotonous.

"If you want to expand this blue space into a virtual world that is almost indistinguishable from reality, there is still a lot of content to be filled, including various physical rules, as well as scene settings for houses, air, gravity, etc. You have also seen, The mouse in the screen is a bit weird to move, because the physical rules don't match reality very much ... it's definitely not reliable to rely entirely on memory.
