A way out

A way out

Aug 17, 2024

"Why? Is there any other way to save us Trisolarans?" The Trisolarans' tone became a little hurried.

The topic ended briefly and started again. In the laboratory, all the Trisolarans focused their attention on the holographic translator in front of the culture tank. Only the Trisolarans who were recording were still ticking and continuing their work.

Even the Trisolarans in the supervision department focused their attention on Bai Long.

"Before discussing this topic, I would like to use the topic just now as a starting point. I hope you won't think I'm being long-winded."

"We are very patient. You can explain your ideas in as much detail as possible. It doesn't matter whether it is feasible or not." The Trisolarans said seriously.

"Ha! I believe you can tell whether what I said is feasible or not. Let's continue with the topic just now. I just asked a question, which computing system is more complex, the human brain or the sophon? Your answer just now is that it is incomparable. What about now?"

"It is undoubtedly the latter." The Trisolarans said affirmatively: "Earthlings simply cannot understand how much effort we Trisolarans have put in to develop such a great technology. Our answer just now is based on the fact that human thinking is 'transparent' and 'unobservable'. Now that this statement has been proven to be false, this question naturally has a clear answer."

"Then suppose that if you successfully understand the mechanism of human brain movement, can you make an artificial brain with all the functions of the human brain more easily than making a sophon?"

"Absolutely." The Trisolarans said affirmatively: "As long as the database is successfully established, this technology will not be difficult for us. We can even use data to simulate the exchange of pheromones between synapses! And it is completely indistinguishable from the real thing!"

"Then let's imagine a scenario. Suppose you simulated the mechanism of information transmission in the human brain and successfully created an artificial brain made of machinery. Suppose there is a way to connect this artificial brain to a real human brain. If the artificial brain does not cause rejection, can this person's thinking be applied to two brains?"

"It sounds like there is no problem, if the connection of pheromones can be handled well."

"Is it possible to handle it well?"

"Probably need an intermediary translation system." After discussing for a while, the Trisolarans said: "It can receive pheromones from the human brain and convert them into other signals to input into the artificial brain."

"Then let's take the next step. There is a skilled surgeon. When this connection is established, the parts of the living brain that are responsible for various parts of the body are removed one by one, and the connecting nerves of these parts are connected to the artificial brain, so that the artificial brain replaces the functions of these parts. Finally, the most critical part comes, gradually reducing the nutrient supply of the original human brain to make the original human brain chronically necrotic, so that in the end, the artificial brain you created successfully replaces the function of the original brain of this person."

"...It is not difficult to achieve technically, what is the point of this?"

"Of course it makes sense. Human memory and thinking are essentially the flow of pheromones. When the signal flows between the two brains, human thinking will gradually transfer to the artificial brain. As the old brain gradually dies, this transfer will accelerate further until all thinking and memory activities are transferred to the artificial brain. Is this essentially a soul transfer?

If we take out this artificial brain at this time and install a robot body for it..."

"Wait a minute." The Trisolaran suddenly stopped. He realized something. His voice trembled in the translator: "What do you want to say?"

"Why don't the Trisolarans abandon the biological form and transfer civilization to other carriers that are easier to survive in the universe? For example, robots." Baihe smiled strangely: "You see, this is not difficult for you now... If your body can survive in an environment ranging from boiling point to freezing point like a robot, why do you have to dehydrate and gamble your life in the chaotic era?

Even if they want to escape from the hellish environment of the Trisolaran star, the machine body has no need for air or food. It only needs energy and materials, and can survive in space. Even if they need to build a base, they only need a planet with mineral resources. There is no need to consider the natural environment and atmosphere. There are so many suitable planets around the Trisolaran star system. Do you need to run a few light years away to compete with the earthlings for living space? "

Buzz~

After a short silence, a sound like an explosion suddenly came from the laboratory.

Colorful lights continued to bloom from the Trisolarans in the laboratory. Trisolarans kept making sounds while glowing. The originally orderly order in the laboratory exploded. It seemed that even the supervisory department had given up control of the order and fell into hysterical arguments.

"No! You lunatic! This is not the right way! You are exterminating the Trisolarans!" A Trisolaran rushed to the simultaneous interpreter and shouted excitedly to Baihe.

"Calm down." Baihe laughed even more strangely: "The biggest problem facing the Trisolarans is that the natural conditions are too harsh to survive. So compared to looking for a harsh natural environment, isn't it also a way of thinking to transform yourself to adapt to the environment? At least according to what I said, you can get rid of the threat of these three mother planets at the fastest speed, and don't have to worry about the problem of the new home, isn't it? "

"But is the Trisolaran who lost his body still a Trisolaran?" Another Trisolaran who looked like a scientist squeezed out the person in front of him, his tone was very calm.

"Before facing this question, you should first ask yourself, what is your understanding of yourself? Is it your consciousness? Or just your body? If one day your body dies but your soul survives, do you think your state is alive or dead?"

"No, neither of them is complete!"

"This is your idea, but I personally think that the concept of being alive tends to the existence of consciousness rather than the body. After all, I still have the ability to think and self-recognize even if I lose my body. And what is the difference between losing consciousness and only having a body and being dead? "Baihe laughed. He looked at the arguing Trisolarans, and then at the Trisolarans in front of the communicator: "I'm sure many people in this room have different ideas from you. I'm sorry that I can't understand, but you can see what they are thinking?"

"To solve the survival crisis, we only need to conquer the earth!" the Trisolarans said loudly.

"Oh? Is that so? The people on earth really don't have much power to resist you," Baihe looked directly into the eyes of the Trisolarans: "But are you really not afraid of the Dark Forest Law? As long as you relax your control over humans, it only takes one fish that slips through the net to destroy all your efforts! Are you really so confident?"

"Wait! The Dark Forest Law? Where did you hear that from! ? None of us told you!"

Baihe ignored the Trisolarans' questioning and continued to speak like a machine gun:

"Think about it, even if the Trisolarans win in the end, the winners are only those conquerors who will arrive on Earth in the future, and what will you get? How many resources are needed to build a space fleet? How many Constant Eras do you need to produce to get enough tickets for the next voyage? By that time, can you still survive the chaotic eras? What if it is a disaster of the magnitude of four planets in a row? Last time he tore this planet into two halves, one large and one small, what about the next time?

How many years of development do you need to talk about the so-called civilization again? Do you think you are so lucky that you were not swallowed by the stars before conquering the earth?

And if you do it according to my plan, what will you get? ! Solving the survival crisis is just the beginning! When the soul is freed from the constraints of the body, the first thing you will get is the almost eternal infinite time brought by technology! It is not the so-called "living" in the frozen warehouse! As long as the energy and maintenance are in place, the consciousness of a Trisolaran can exist almost indefinitely! Until the end of the universe! And what you lose is only the consciousness carrier of "life"!

What is there to miss about this body? It is fragile! You carefully and hard protect it, but you still cannot guarantee that you will survive every chaotic era! Even if you are lucky enough to survive to the Eternal Era, you will have to work hard to survive in the next Chaotic Era!

This body has given you only the fatigue and pain of struggling for survival, the fear and despair of facing death at all times, but you have not enjoyed many of the benefits it should have given you!

He did give birth to the civilization of the Trisolarans, but the Trisolaran civilization does not necessarily have to rely on this fragile body to exist! He is just a dangerous, painful and unstable cradle. For freedom and survival, what's wrong with abandoning it?

Besides, are you so sure that the Trisolaran civilization that has changed its form and carrier of existence must be something you cannot accept? Oh~ something seems to be wrong with you. "

Amid Baihe's speech, a sudden change occurred in the laboratory.

A shrill siren suddenly sounded, and the Trisolaran who was originally sitting in front of the recorder suddenly ran towards the door. A guard shot him continuously from behind with a strange-looking weapon. The Trisolaran did not stop moving and soon disappeared completely.

"Chase! He leaked the secret! "The laboratory fell silent in an instant, and everyone rushed out, leaving only one guard in the laboratory.

The room became quiet again.

"Boss, you said that's a white dragon?" The dwarf looked at the half dragon wing exposed on the glacier with a pale face, and his legs began to tremble. The dragon wing covered the sky, and the sun in the north was dim and the cold breath seemed to freeze half of the sky. "Maybe... Pack up, we should go..." The captain felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and suddenly realized something in a trembling: "Wait! It's too late! Prepare for battle!" The eternal cold surrounded the glacier. After the gusts of cold wind that tore through the sky, the mercenary, whose body seemed to be torn into pieces, opened his eyes. A pair of strange scarlet pupils looked down at him from above, and the voice was not loud but deafening: "Human? Dwarf? Elf? Oh, welcome, I am Baihe Shuangyi, welcome to my research institute, what research do you want to participate in? Genetic modification or something else?"... Follow the trend, dnd, infinite flow, and All hail Claudius, there is nothing else to say.
