Chapter 271 Virtual World Research - Start!

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 and requires a certain driver."

"The quantum algorithm 'self-awareness' is equivalent to the running software of the hard disk. It cannot be forced to read or copied, and can only achieve a overall leap. It must rely on the memory itself to have complete functions... Otherwise, it will not have much significance. Software and hardware are indispensable."

Ichiro Yamamoto opened the computer screen in the laboratory, and there was a "mouse" uploaded by consciousness.

The "mouse" was staring in a daze on the computer, motionless, as if he was stupid.

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

"It doesn't move, because self-awareness and memory are not connected... without physical body, without instinct, so you can only stand here and stare blankly."

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

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

Since it has become a mass of two-dimensional data, why can a mouse still a mouse, not a cat or a dog, or something like that, perhaps it can become a human?

"Oh, this is set at will. It is the virtual body we add according to the mouse's memory... Of course, it can also be set as a cat." Yamamoto was stunned for a while, and then said: "It's just data. Although there is no way to directly observe the core, it can observe external manifestations. If we give it a virtual body, we can know what it is doing."

"It is no problem to observe this virtual body, and it will not affect the collapse of 'self-awareness'. If you observe internal data, it will die directly."

Zhang Yuan pondered for a while and smiled bitterly: "It's really quantum mechanics... If you cover it up with a layer of skin, will the function collapse?"

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

"As a result, even God cannot predict what humans will do in the next second?"

Yamamoto nodded, "In theory, this is true. What kind of ideas will be generated in the next second cannot be predicted. However, mind reading is still possible... because even if the algorithm itself cannot directly observe, the data generated by the algorithm, that is, memory, can still be observed as long as you are careful."

"...We may even change people's personality by modifying memories! But this also involves the matching pattern of self-awareness... Mr. Zhang Yuan, please support this technology."

As he was talking, this guy began to become furious, and all kinds of random thoughts made Zhang Yuan feel chills on his back.

Well, this guy Yamamoto has no traditional morality at all. He doesn't consider how panic the technology that spys on privacy or even modifys privacy will cause to the public.

Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and thought for a while, and soon rejected some of his requests. What a joke? Although the new civilization pursues progress, now releasing these technologies is the rhythm of killing himself!

"I don't know if I really realize these functions. Now I'm just relying on the technology of the Gaia civilization... Whether it can imitate biological computers is still a question."

Zhang Yuan patted the other person on the shoulder and signaled him to be more down-to-earth and not to think about one step at a time.

Next are various comparison experiments, and the consciousness of this poor mouse was tossed and turned.

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

It was frightened by the background board of this blue light spot and ran wildly, but how could it run to a safe corner in such a place?

I ran like this for a few minutes, but I don’t know what happened, and the consciousness seemed to be tired. It gradually stopped.

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

"Because the mouse's brain is relatively simple, self-awareness and memory can be simply separated, and it is more difficult for people like monkeys to do it."

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

After reconnecting again, the mouse began to run wildly again, and the whole reaction was exactly the same as the previous time.

However, in these two repetition laboratories, Zhang Yuan keenly sensed some differences, and there seemed to be subtle differences in the mouse running movements.

He said, "That is, even if you have the same memory as the basis, the same self-awareness will react differently, is that true?"

Yamamoto replied: "Yes, that is, the so-called randomness belonging to life itself...but this randomness is not randomness, but fluctuates within a region."

Zhang Yuan asked again: "So, what will happen if the memory of one mouse is matched with the self-awareness of another mouse?"

"It is very likely that you will become a fool... But if the memories of the two mice are mixed in a certain pattern, there is a very small probability of success. We don't understand why they succeed yet. It may be like the soul legend in fantasy, one swallows the other."

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

How to say, the top scientists in the entire laboratory are like the dark wizards in fantasy stories trying to manipulate their souls?

What is the difference between this experiment... and the black wizard plugging the "self-consciousness" of one life into the memory of another creature?

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

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

"So, Professor Yamamoto, what does it mean to recruit VR game testers here?"

Zhang Yuan frowned and asked again: "If you want to use humans to experiment with self-awareness, it is not allowed... Even if you just read human memories, it is considered a serious violation of privacy rights. I hope you can know and abide by laboratory discipline."

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

"VR game testers mainly test the background space after self-awareness upload... that is, technology in virtual space. It is not that simple to form a truly inhabitable environment."

"Background space?" Zhang Yuan remembered it. It was the space full of blue light spots that could feel gravity and breathe, but the overall feeling was very monotonous.

"If you want to expand this blue space into a virtual world that is almost the same as the reality, there is still a lot of content that needs to be filled, including various physical rules, as well as scene settings such as houses, air, gravity, etc. You also see that the mouse on the screen moves a bit weird, because the physical rules and reality do not match it well... It is definitely unreliable to rely entirely on memory."
