War Paradise

After receiving the information provided by the coach, Lin Chi immediately opened the document and read the content inside.

What appeared in front of me this time was not a highly professional academic report, but a personal letter.

With the help of automatic translation software, this email written in English was all converted into Chinese. However, some of these abbreviations cannot be converted:

"To my dear E.W."

"Who is E.W?" Lin Chi asked the coach.

"I don't know." The coach answered Lin Chi's question with the phone speaker: "It's not important, please keep reading."

Lin Chi stared at the slowly scrolling text on the screen, and the content of the letter began to enter his brain.

He quickly realized that the weight of the letter he was reading was extremely "heavy":

Long time no see, my dear friend. How are you doing recently?

Maybe in your eyes, I was still the weak boy back then. Now if we can meet, you will definitely be shocked. My body is healthier than ever. My legs that were unable to move before can now run as much as they want.

All this is the blessing of the exoskeleton developed by the Cold Mountain Laboratory. Thank you for introducing this institution to me at that time. Although you failed the exam, and... my letter should never be read by you.

There is no way to send this letter.

I who live in the laboratory, like everyone else here, are not allowed to leave the laboratory, nor can I send out any emails.

Very strict rules, right? I once felt that way, but when I think of our research, it doesn't matter at all.

It is no exaggeration to say that the work being done by my colleagues in the laboratory and I can definitely be described by the word "great"!

The Cold Mountain Laboratory can be called an institution that can change the destiny of mankind. Because what we have to do is to break through the shackles of birth, aging, sickness and death, so that human beings living in this world will usher in true eternity!

A long, long time ago, when my legs were still unable to move, I once watched an animation at home. It was a very esoteric work in which the so-called "third magic" was mentioned.

I know you are going to laugh at my naivety, but the "third magic" really attracted me at the time. Even now, I still remember its content clearly:

——By materializing human souls, human beings can realize true immortality and immortality, which is the so-called "third magic."

At that time, as a disabled person, I was pessimistic and tired of the world. In my opinion, I should never be able to stand up. I can only sit in a wheelchair and spend my life dragging my atrophied useless legs.

However, the concept of the third magic gave me a glimmer of hope.

As Mr. Arthur Clark said: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is no different from magic at first glance." The speed of human technology development is changing with each passing day. If one day, I can live to see the emergence of technology similar to the "third magic", then not only the disabled legs, I don't even need to use this disgusting body anymore!

Let me tell you the truth, what we are studying now is the method of "materializing" the human soul.

Of course, unlike magical magic, our method is more complicated. To be precise, we are studying human consciousness.

Now, whether it is biologists, neurologists, psychologists, or even philosophers who stay in the library all day long. Everyone is troubled by the same problem, which is also the "ultimate problem" of mankind.

——Where does human consciousness exist? Does "soul" really exist?

Biologists studying the structure of the brain have vowed to show that the so-called soul is just a lie in the ignorant old human fantasy.

In their view, once the brain dies, human consciousness, like all other life functions of this body, will no longer exist.

They used to conduct cruel experiments on living people. Stimulating certain parts of the brain through electric currents can make subjects produce various hallucinations, including the common "soul out of the body" hallucinations.

Some people feel that they are floating and see their body through the "third-person" perspective. Some people feel that they are passing through a tunnel full of light, and even see their dead relatives.

These biologists successfully simulated the near-death experience of human beings before death, and then used this to prove their theory: the so-called "soul" is just an illusion, something that can be created by electrical stimulation.

However, unlike their research direction, our research does not involve "how to change consciousness through external means", but goes to another field-at least originally.

After reading this, you will probably find it funny, right? After all, Lengshan Laboratory can be regarded as a pioneer of civil brain imaging technology, which is a strong proof of changing consciousness through external means. but……

you are wrong.

Intra-brain imaging technology and equipment are just a small episode in our research. There is only one reason why we will announce this technology in 2029:

This technology is completely irrelevant to us. It's just like when engineers in the last century invented the microwave oven occasionally when doing radar experiments, it's just a useless little thing.

No, to be precise, the brain imaging equipment is not completely useless. It still confirms the research goals of the Cold Mountain Laboratory. It's just that the way it works is too simple, and it doesn't touch the deep domain.

After reading this, you will probably start to complain, right?

Sorry, I won't sell it anymore. What I want to say next is the real content of our research:

——You also know that the Cold Mountain Laboratory is supported by the mysterious consortium and used to complete the secret plan.

In fact, the so-called "mysterious consortiums" appear in the headlines of the media every day, and everyone with Internet access in the world knows their names.

That's right, almost all well-known Internet technology companies you can think of are investors in Cold Mountain Labs.

As for why they don’t conduct their own research, but invest in such a suspicious-looking scientific research institution, the reason is also very simple:

The scientific research direction of the Cold Mountain Laboratory sounds too ridiculous. There is no "normal" investor who will invest a penny on this project.

For this project that sounds absurd and can even be said to be "crazy", Internet technology companies also need a closed organization like the Cold Mountain Laboratory to conduct inhumane and dangerous experiments.

As for the project we are working on... Now, I will say the name of this project:

——Edit and control the built-in programs of the human brain.

I know you are probably laughing now, and then said that this kind of thing is completely impossible. But what I want to say is that what sounds impossible actually exists!

You might say: "Consciousness is just dependent on the brain. The brain is like a computer, and consciousness is a computer program. Once the computer is destroyed, the program will no longer exist."

Then I ask you: Who actually wrote these programs?

The brain of a baby who fell to the ground is like a newly-purchased computer, and even the "system" has not been installed yet. How did it begin to generate consciousness?

According to the conclusions of the cold mountain laboratory's research over the years, all of us have built-in things similar to "programs" in our brains.

It is precisely because of this that consciousness can exist!

For example, we are all robots made by a certain "programmer". For the normal functioning of our bodies, every person is born with some programs pre-installed in their brains.

What the Cold Mountain Laboratory has to do is to analyze these programs and...find out a method to control these programs or transfer them.
