12. You are full of bugs

"What are you talking about?"

"Of course, I am just exploring a possibility, because in my opinion, your plan to conquer the earth looks very stupid." Baihe sighed.

"Stupid? Our plan has been refined and has prepared for any possible plan. The earthlings can't stop us at all."

"Maybe, but after listening to your confrontation with the so-called wall-facers, why do I feel like a child playing a game?"

"What did you say?" The three-body man was stunned for a moment: "Is there any problem with the countermeasures we adopted?"

The other three-body men also stopped.

"It is an obvious omission. How can you think that thinking can be transparent? It doesn't matter if the earthlings are foolish and believe it. The problem is that you, with such advanced technology, still make such a fallacy in science. It's really amazing!"

The three-body man was silent. He looked at Baihe for a while, waved his hand to indicate that a three-body man behind him began to record in front of a set of input equipment.

"... Please explain it more clearly."

"I will say a little more. The first question is, the sophon you developed has complete advanced intelligence. Compared with the human brain, which one has a more complex structure?"

"... This cannot be compared." Following Baihe's thoughts, the three-body voice was even more confused: "The computing system built into the sophon array is several generations more powerful than the most advanced supercomputer on Earth, and the intelligence has reached complete autonomy, so that it can complete the calculation of energy conversion in the complex universe. But how to compare it with the human brain?"

"Of course it can be compared. In addition to the background program that controls physiological problems, the content of thinking and memory on Earth is converted into bytes, which is about 100,000 GB on average. Humans can use even less in their lifetime activities, and a supercomputer can process up to 10 million GB of data. The operating frequency of the human brain is less than one thousand Hz, while the Earth's supercomputers reached 100 million dozens of Earth years ago. Although the pheromones that transmit information in the human brain are not as simple as 0 and 1, there are only a dozen types of neurotransmitters and modulators in total!

If I had the information collection and computing capabilities of Sophon, I wouldn't need to go to such great lengths to collect information or control cult puppets like you do! All I need to do is record the neurotransmitter mechanism of the human brain. Billions of samples on Earth are not enough to calculate the relationship between nerve movement and thinking? With your technological conditions, is it difficult to read thoughts? Why do you think that the thoughts of Earthlings, who have just separated from the ape race for less than a few million years, are transparent and unobservable? "

Baihe laughed: "It's really interesting to see you, who have such powerful technical capabilities, and are still going through such great lengths to fight wits and courage with a group of primitive people in a primitive way."

Deathly silence controlled the laboratory. It seemed that there were difficult sounds from time to time with the light of one or two Trisolarans. Gradually, the Trisolarans talked to each other and seemed to be in a heated discussion. Gradually, more Trisolarans walked into the laboratory and discussed until Baihe yawned.

…

“How strange that you would tell us these cognitions. We didn’t realize them before.”

It wasn’t until a long time passed that the Three-Body people returned to the time before Baihe.

Of course you don’t realize it, the author doesn’t want you to know it.

Baihe thought to himself.

As a science fiction author with a strong humanistic sentiment, the Three-Body author dared to express some ideas in his works and successfully expressed them, which is undoubtedly precious.

However, in any case, science fiction is based on fantasy rather than real science. The lack of professional knowledge has created many bugs in "The Three-Body Problem", and some of the author’s own attributes have magnified these bugs.

The mistake that literary youth often make is to habitually sanctify thoughts and souls. Therefore, in the author’s not very serious consideration, human thinking has become something "transparent and unmonitorable", and the Three-Body people are redundantly set with the attribute of "not accustomed to human thinking and difficult to understand human psychological activities", so that in the second episode, facing the strong pressure of the Three-Body people, the earthlings actually sent a few wall-facers to use the dark forest to solve the Three-Body people.

It seems a bit funny.

Whether it is the nature of thinking or the nature of the soul, it has never been something sacred and inexplicable, let alone transparent.

Modern psychology and human behavior research are self-evident, but can't the means of natural science do it?

The thinking function of the human brain, in simple terms, is the synapses between brain cells transmitting information through transmitters. The total amount of this information is no more than 100,000 GB, which is only the size of 100 home computer hard drives, and the processing speed is no more than 1000 Hz, which is only one-thirtieth of the performance of modern CPUs.

Humans cannot dissect and monitor the brains of living people on a large scale to build a model of the relationship between thinking and brain activity. Can't the Trisolarans do it?

In the setting of the Trisolarans, the sophon can penetrate everything and has the abnormal multi-threading ability that can interrupt all accelerator research on the earth at the same time. Is it difficult to enter the human brain to collect information?

When the Wallfacer Project appeared, the Trisolarians did not even consider using technology to violently crack the human brain, but used puppets to play primitive games with the Earthlings. Although it was clearly set to be unpredictable, a self-contradictory thing like the steel stamp appeared later. The Earthlings could do it, but the Trisolarians, who had a higher level of technology, could not do it. Baihe felt that he could not justify himself no matter what.

Baihe really wanted to see how the Trisolarians would react if these bugs were put in front of them.

"Oh? From your discussion, it seems that what I said makes some sense."

"It's not some sense, but it's very feasible." The Trisolarians sighed and said, "If we let Sophon start this work from now on, there will be some results in about one or two Eternal Eras, and the Earth's Wallfacers will no longer be a problem. The budget of the Lie Identification Center has also been cut by one third. They must have some negative views of you now."

"Really?" Baihe shrugged his eyebrows, expressing his helplessness.

The three-body looked at Baihe seriously for about a minute, and suddenly his tone became serious:

"As long as the new database is established, the earthlings will no longer be able to use their minds to resist our conquest. But I am confused. As a human, don't you know how great a disaster it will bring to the earthlings if you tell us this theory?"

"The earthlings in this world have nothing to do with me."

Baihe sneered. How could he have the leisure to be horny to the NPCs in the novel world?

"If you were a human, you would definitely be a cold-blooded and unsympathetic person." The three-body sighed: "Is the theory just now just to reflect your superiority in intelligence and the stupidity of us three-body people?"

Baihe frowned. The sigh of the three-body people made him very uncomfortable, because it was indeed the case. After he became a white dragon, he did clearly feel that his compassion for life was gradually fading away.

But matter determines consciousness. For a predator, is this really worth caring about?

Before he could reply to the Trisolaran, he saw several Trisolarans guarding nearby holding the man who was talking to Baihe. They dragged the Trisolaran out, and after a long while, the Trisolaran reappeared, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Baihe could now distinguish the emotions of the Trisolarans: a dim body indicated depression, meaning that the Trisolarans hoped not to be noticed in this situation, a dazzling body indicated anger, in order to deter the person who angered him, and a bright body indicated happiness, hoping that more people would accept his emotions.

The Trisolaran was in a very low mood, and he seemed a little depressed standing in front of Baihe's culture tank.

"Do you mind telling me what happened?" Baihe asked.

"It's not a secret." The Trisolaran sighed in the translator: "The head of state's supervisory department believes that some of my remarks just now may cause you to give up continuing to communicate with us. The head of state warned me that if the communication is interrupted, I have a high probability of being convicted."

"This is really sad news." Baihe was a little surprised: "But I am surprised that you Trisolarans attach so much importance to me."

"Let's not talk about your strange origins for now; just from the conversation just now, the head of state has raised your importance to the second level." The Trisolaran added: "The first level is the Earth Conquest Plan. You seem to be able to contribute to this plan. You said our plan is stupid. Is it just because we did not properly use our technological advantages to deal with the Wallfacer Plan?"

"This is certainly not the stupidest." Baihe said: "It is true that your Earth Conquest Plan has some loopholes in my opinion, but as far as this plan itself is concerned, it can't be called extremely stupid.

The stupidity I am talking about is that you use this plan to save the Trisolarans, which is a stupid choice."
