Rebirth of science and technology academic master - Chapter 672

c666 Insist on taking the big road instead of taking the small road (asking for a monthly ticket)

Yes.

In today’s academic circles, there is a very popular research direction in the research field of extending life span and delaying aging, which is the field of combining life sciences with electronic information technology. This inspiration comes from robots. Robots have no life limit and only need to continue to work. Just repair it. If human thoughts are transplanted into robots, wouldn’t humans be able to live forever and not be eroded by time?

But Qin Yuanqing believes that this is an evil path. If the mind is transplanted to a robot, it is still a robot, not a human. Although Qin Yuanqing doesn’t know what will happen when the mind is transplanted into the robot, he does not believe that scientific means can be used to transplant the soul into the hands of the robot, because the soul has not yet been directly found through scientific means, let alone Said it was transplanted. As for the mind, the mind transplanted into the robot is, in the final analysis, just a chip. This chip holds all the memories of a person, but in the end, it is still a chip, not a soul.

Abandoning the soul and body in this way, is it still a life?

Qin Yuanqing felt that it should still be a robot.

And the thinking chip no longer has the creativity of humans. Maybe it seems that the ability of computers surpasses humans at present, but there is a problem with computers, that is, they are allowed to rely on programs, including artificial intelligence and the like. , the essence is the program. And this program was made up by humans. It was humans who created the robots and created the program.

Although robots may be developed in the future and can replace many functions of humans, Qin Yuanqing has not yet seen that robots can think by themselves.

Qin Yuanqing does not deny that transplanting the mind into a robot may be a different kind of rebirth, but this kind of rebirth is not necessary!

“The road you have to take is always the main road. Only if you walk on the main road will you not get lost. If you walk too many small roads, it is easy to see ghosts!” After Yan Ning left, Qin Yuanqing stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside. Wei Xian said to himself Talk to yourself.

Life science is now a very popular subject. It has many research directions. For example, using a chip to read a person’s thoughts and transplanting it to a robot is only one research direction. There is another direction, which is virtual reality, which is currently in the spotlight. Game companies use virtual reality to construct a game world, which may be the same as the current world, or they may construct a paradoxical parallel world or a fantasy world or a fantasy world. People play games, log in to their account with a helmet, enter the virtual reality world, and play games. generally.

It gives people an unparalleled experience, as if they are truly in that world. As a result, countless people are addicted to the game, and some people even died in real life due to excessive addiction at the beginning.

Regarding the virtual reality world, two research directions have emerged. One direction is to make people’s minds permanently immersed in the virtual reality world, but the body does not need to live in the real world, but in the virtual reality world. Another direction is to combine the “human sleep cabin” technology, which allows people to immerse their minds in the virtual reality world, while the body goes to sleep, and returns to the real world when they no longer want to be in the virtual reality world.

Such researchers believe that the real world is a sea of ​​suffering, and all living beings are suffering. Even Guanyin Bodhisattva cannot save all living beings. In this case, it is better to enter the virtual reality world and create a paradise in the virtual reality world. In this virtual reality world, people can Change the world and live a happy life.

Of course, these are some researchers, and the driving force behind it is capital. Relying on the virtual reality world, game companies have made a lot of money. Although the virtual reality world has not reached a very deep level, the gaming experience is greatly improved. To strengthen, for example, the former Legend of Sword and Fairy has been revitalized through virtual reality technology. I don’t know how many people have entered it and become characters such as Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling’er, etc. Of course, some people choose to worship the Moon Cult Master, or simply become independent people. Participate in the plot.

In addition to Legend of Sword and Fairy, there are also games adapted from novels such as Douluo Dalu, all of which have become popular again, making countless game lovers addicted to them.

Of course, in reality, there are also legal provisions that require an account not to be online for 24 hours continuously, and the distance between accounts cannot be less than 8 hours, which is a strict anti-addiction clause. This provision is deplored by game fans and game companies.

These game companies are promoting the combination of virtual reality and “human sleep cabin” technology just to open up an opening and make as much money as possible from game fans. When there is no money, they will naturally do whatever they have to do.

The birth of new technology is always a double-edged sword. It has advantages and disadvantages. It brings benefits to society but also brings many disadvantages to society.

Qin Yuanqing has no objection to these new technologies. He feels that whether it is computer technology, artificial intelligence, quantum communication, holographic projection technology, virtual reality technology, unmanned automatic production technology, etc., too many things have destroyed people’s interest in rural areas. Pastoral fantasies, these things cannot be stopped unless scientific researchers around the world unite to give up their brains.

Technology itself is innocent, it is the people who use it who decide whether it is guilty or not. What people should do is not to stop it, but to guide it to develop in a place that is beneficial to human development and minimize the disadvantages it brings.

Social civilization is always developing forward, sometimes at a slower pace and sometimes at a faster pace. This is the law of social development and no one can stop it.

For example, regarding controllable nuclear fusion, many people hate Qin Yuanqing because Qin Yuanqing promoted the birth of controllable nuclear fusion technology, which caused tens or even hundreds of millions of people to lose their jobs. But although Qin Yuanqing could imagine the adverse effects of controllable nuclear fusion technology, he never regretted it. He believed that more people would thank him in the future, even though he made them lose their jobs in coal mines, thermal power plants and other places. Opportunities to sweat, but increased productivity and rich materials can allow more people to live a more decent life, allowing more people in the future to have more rights to choose their own future and life, instead of working for generations. In dangerous mines and small workshops.

The same is true for robots. Look at how many high-tech factories now use robots to replace labor. A large factory does not even need a hundred engineers, but it can create tens of billions of value a year.

The birth of too many new technologies has greatly promoted the development of society, but also brought many negative aspects, such as changes in social conflicts and so on.

But Qin Yuanqing has never participated in such debates and arguments about technology, including “cryonics” technology. During the big debate, Qin Yuanqing never expressed his opinions in public.

This is the law of development of civilization. Even if it stagnates briefly, it will always move forward on a large time scale.

New technology replaces old technology, and advanced productivity replaces backward productivity. One day artificial intelligence will become more and more intelligent, even like living humans, and one day humans will become their own gods through gene editing. Make yourself omnipotent…

At night, Qin Yuanqing rarely left the office at this time, but stared at the starry sky, his eyes full of thoughts, and his brows frowned slightly.

Qin Yuanqing sometimes feels that the earth is lucky. The solar orbit it is in is suitable for the birth of life, and there is also the moon, a natural satellite, which can help the earth withstand the impact of most celestial bodies and create opportunities for the earth to breed life. , from this point of view, the earth is lucky to be the only living planet in the entire solar system.

The Earth is not the largest planet in the solar system. Jupiter is much larger than the Earth and even has more satellites than the Earth. But the earth is the only planet where life has been born today.

In this regard, it is remarkable.

Not to mention, spiritual and intelligent life like humans were born. Human history is actually quite short compared to the long history of the earth, but the development of human civilization has reached a high level, and it is about to leave the civilization of its parent star. .

This is quite remarkable.

But Qin Yuanqing also feels that the earth is like a testing ground, like a cage, and even the entire solar system is like a cage. The Kuiper Belt is like the iron bars of the cage, forming a cage for the entire solar system. He wants to break through it. It is a very big difficulty. Maybe it will become a big problem that troubles mankind hundreds of years later. If we cannot overcome it, the development of mankind will always be limited in the future.

At the same time, the universe is also very unfriendly to humans on earth. It has given humans full of spirituality, but humans are full of many shackles, such as lifespan problems, aging problems, and disease problems. These problems have deeply restricted human beings. Development potential.

Qin Yuanqing once wondered whether there was a genetic lock in human genes, which locked the lifespan and golden period of human beings, thereby locking the upper limit of the development of human civilization. He studied China’s genetic engineering data, but from the data, Qin Yuanqing never discovered this genetic lock.

Sometimes, Qin Yuanqing would wonder if there was a pair of eyes in the void, observing the earth and humans on the earth from time to time. The gaze from the void always gave Qin Yuanqing a sense of crisis. It was this sense of crisis that always made Qin Yuanqing There is a sense of urgency that drives the human era forward.

He is afraid that one day an advanced civilization will come to the earth and easily destroy the human civilization on the earth, causing the direct destruction of mankind.

Qin Yuanqing has no doubts about whether higher civilizations have this ability, because higher civilizations are a dimensionality reduction attack on cosmic civilization.

Just like superpowers deal with small and medium-sized countries, they are all dimensionality reduction attacks, leaving you without any resistance to be ravaged, and then you can only perform a series of performances through actors to let the masses watch the fun and comedy.
