The Mechanic

It doesn't matter even if Eden uses you for experiments? Zhang Xun took a step forward and asked, How many of you died in the Ascension Project?

Ah, you've heard about the Ascension Project. Izli smiled, stood up slowly from the chair, and walked down the three circular steps, Did you hear about it from the prisoners you captured?

And those who fled from you.

Any experiment has victims. All our subjects are voluntary.

I'm not blaming your actions. It can even be said that I can understand what you want to create. Zhang Xun slowed down his tone, showing all the sincerity on his expression, You want to get close to God, and you want to discard The sinful male body becomes something greater. So you try your best to transform your own body, and even want to upload the consciousness of all people. But you can't do it.

We can't do it, can you do it?! A priest with the appearance of a soldier said angrily.

Zhang Xun lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, We may be able to do it, because we are the subject of Eden's experiment.

A burst of whispers filled the air, and the high priest raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to silence, Could it be that Paradise Lost also has a plan to ascend to heaven?

Zhang Xun's eyes wandered around the hall for a week, and he cleared his dry throat slightly, The human brain is an extremely complex and delicate organ. After thousands of years of evolution, it is closely related to all other systems of the human body. Tightly combined, any physical change may affect the brain, and when that impact exceeds the tolerance limit of the human brain, it will cause confusion and mental illness.

When you transform your body, you should already know that all sensory inputs must be limited within a certain value range, otherwise it will overload the brain and cause damage. You also know that it is necessary to use the flow of the solution in the machine to simulate the fluctuation of hormones and the periodic changes of various typical chemical reactions in the human body, because when these fluctuations are gone, the human brain cannot normally interpret the external stimuli they receive, resulting in Emotional and perceptual confusion.

The human brain is flexible in some respects. Even if part of the brain is injured, other parts of the brain can continue to replace the injured part of the work. But at the same time, the human brain is also very stubborn and very fragile. Like a piece of soft tofu floating in the cerebrospinal fluid, a slight collision will cause serious injury. It needs to form its own inherent thinking mode to facilitate it to understand this too complicated and chaotic world, which is the so-called consciousness.

It can be said that consciousness is attached to the brain and the body. Without external stimuli and the support of the complex bioelectrical transmission system in the brain, consciousness is empty and indeterminate. Like a puff of smoke, if you submerge it into a cloud and take it out again, what you take out is no longer the same puff of smoke as before. It may have incorporated everything it has touched, and it is impossible to separate it again.

Zhang Xun paused here, wanting the information in his words to penetrate into the minds of these people in front of him.

The female engineer said softly, You mean, if we convert the consciousness of the brain into data and extract it, put it in the cloud, get in touch with other consciousness, and then download it back to the original human body, what will go back is not The original person? She frowned and shook her head, But I have added a protective shell to the data of each individual consciousness, and this shell will filter out most of the consciousness when it is connected with other consciousnesses. Noise, only conveying certain information.

How does your so-called shell distinguish which information is relevant and which is not? Humans can't even control what they think. For example, I tell you not to think about an elephant now. Can you do it?

Don't think about an elephant. When the word elephant appears, the image of an animal has already appeared in your mind reflexively.

Consciousness is constantly glued together. When you pull out a fragment, it will naturally bring out other related information. Because this is how our brain remembers and understands the information it receives. If you insist on filtering, it is hard to To cut these connections somewhere, you either cut too much and the information fragments and loses meaning, or you cut too little and the consciousness of the bond is passed along. There is no clear line You can define what is related consciousness, so you can't create a universal 'shell'. Zhang Xun stared at her, and could see the growing uncertainty in her eyes.

She must have guessed the reason for the failure of the Ascension Plan, but she couldn't think of a solution.

The effect on consciousness is irreversible. Just like when you learn to ride a bicycle, you will always ride a bicycle. It is impossible to forget how to ride a bicycle unless your brain is damaged. When you read a book, the ideas conveyed in the book are Once it has entered your consciousness, you can never go back to a state where you have never seen it.” Zhang Xun turned his eyes to other people, “Think about it, if this consciousness encounters hundreds of other consciousnesses. They Without the support of the body, colliding and merging. All those very different modes of thinking, worldview values, all the madness and chaos that lurks in our subconscious are all mixed together. What do you think will be the result? When these are stirred What will happen if the things that are together are forcibly separated and then forced back into the original body and mind?
