Longevity Story

"Yes, there is this."

Xing Ke remembers this point, the plan {prophecy} book is actually the history of the original world of Xing Ke, and virtual reality technology has indeed been applied to the field of [quantum life] research later.

"[Quantum life] is a direction of human evolution. Copy memory and personality to the quantum server and link the network. This will not only free human beings from the shackles of the flesh, but also prolong human lifespan, and this number is theoretically infinite. of……

Leaving this world, you can swim in the ocean of data, and you can enter the corpse made by machines and biochemical technology..."

Dr. Shigemura said that he was a little emotional when he saw the wrinkles and age spots on his old hand.

"I'm a little ashamed that this has a great and irresistible attraction for me, so I'm sorry, I put down other things and moved in this direction."

"Oh? Didn't I write it in the plan..."

"I know."

Xing Ke was about to say something suspiciously, but was interrupted by Dr. Shigemura:

"I know... You said in the plan {prophecy} book that it will take a long time before a quantum computer that can accommodate all human consciousness and is comparable to the human brain.

But anyway, I really want to try it. "

"..."

Xingke didn't say anything, and he didn't know whether Dr. Shigemura could succeed. Anyway, in the history of virtual reality technology development that Xingke knew, this kind of thing was unsuccessful.

At that time, the emergence and popularization of virtual reality devices in human society and the technology that transformed humans into quantum life were definitely not a hundred years behind.

But this is not the original world after all, maybe...

"...but I failed."

"Uh, okay."

Fortunately, there was hope in his mind, which did not put Xing Ke in an embarrassing situation.

"I scanned the brains of nearly [-] mice with the highest power electromagnetic pulses that can be achieved, and conducted nearly [-] experiments. Each time I thought I recorded almost all the information in their brains, and then adjusted the An entire data center of quantum servers is used to host them.

But...that's what comes out.It does have all the memories, but other than that, the logical thinking ability is not as good as that of artificial intelligence.

Some of them can't even maintain a continuous state of thinking, and most of them die within three days of existence.

There are also a few who did not even detect thinking activities from the beginning, and there are some mentally retarded existences who only maintain a piece of data output from beginning to end...

All kinds of strange situations, oh, yes, the existence of only outputting a piece of data, after deciphering the output data, it is found that the general meaning is the meaning of [Who am I].

Maybe it's because it has no way to link the memory storage independently, because he doesn't have any memory, right?Can't even speak. "

Dr. Shigemura was a little emotional. .They have already used the highest standard experimental conditions, and these are just a few crooked melons and cracked dates.

How dare he use this kind of technology on himself.

"Sure enough, it's still a hardware problem. The development of the quantum computer field has not yet reached the level where it can fully carry the aura of human wisdom... Hehe, oh, by the way, Higa has now named the aura of wisdom [Fluture {aid}], Right?"

Higa Ken was a little surprised, it turns out that the teacher has long known that there is such a existence as [fluctuating light {aid}].

"I originally didn't know what I was lacking, but I heard what Higa just described, diving deep enough to allow the quantum computer to run blank artificial intelligence and achieve synchronization with the human brain. These conditions are met. After that, it was possible to temporarily make people's souls [fluctuating light {aid}] leave their bodies and enter the virtual world.

Higa succeeded, but I failed, and I speculate that it was because after I scanned the mouse's brain with electromagnetic pulses, the mouse's brain was scorched and its body ushered in death.

Although it is not [-]% certain, this also indirectly proves that there is something that is currently separated from the human body and cannot exist in the quantum server..."

Dr. Shigemura seemed to have grasped something, and there was some kind of persistence in his eyes, and his expression was distorted because of his failure.

An old face full of dissatisfaction.

"But, there's no way...

After all, the virtual reality devices we study have only revealed a small part of the secrets of the human brain, and the secrets of the brain are still fully known to us.

At this time, we are thinking of completely replacing the human brain with quantum computers, carrying our souls... and transforming a life form...

It's still too early..."

Dr. Shigemura leaned back in his chair and sighed. 11.

394. Sure enough, when God gives you a certain talent, will it kill another attribute...

"...It's still too early."

Dr. Shigemura leaned back in his chair and sighed, his expression full of disappointment.Coupled with his skinny rickety body, he looks like a beggar old man who has suffered all his life and is about to starve to death on the street.

It looked miserable, very pitiful.

but!Don't be fooled!

"But! I won't give up!"

As if the soulful storytelling suddenly ushered in a turning point, Dr. Shigemura regained his fighting spirit.

Yes, it's just an appearance, he's just telling the story of his own research.

Just looking at the appearance, who can imagine how many high-tech technologies that affect human history have been completed in his life? !

This kind of story of recovering after a failure has happened to him eight times instead of ten times.

"I'm not dead yet! I still have time! Maybe I'll make it right before I die!"

Older people love to tell stories.Especially in his own heroic epic, lamenting the changes of the times, showing a little bit of heroic decline and unfathomable expression by the way, pretending to be 13 in front of the juniors... This old man is the same.

Did the people present here, including his apprentices, ignore him?

"Since it can be determined that the reason for the failure is that the specifications of the hardware are not enough, then I will go back and continue to study quantum computers and virtual reality devices with higher specifications...

Unfortunately, higher-spec devices aren't just finished. .If only high power is pursued, the properties of the material and the strength of the process will also become a problem.

But in the process of its research, it is not without harvest.

After a period of exploration, I completed a miniaturized virtual reality device, maybe it's a little more appropriate to call it [neural link]? "

Dr. Shigemura dispatched a design drawing and conceptual drawing on the tablet, handed it to Xing Ke, and gave a copy to the students by the way.

This one on the drawing...electronics?Its appearance is really strange.

It is completely a blank machine that has not been designed by designers, and even some parts are not so symmetrical.

But due to how it is worn and used, its basic shape has been determined...

"This...is a collar?"

Strictly speaking. .This is a half collar.

The neck and throat are not closed, only the back of the head and the side parts fit the electronic device.

If the shape is metaphorical, it is like a headband, but it is worn around the neck.

I think it is necessary to come here and design, right?After all, a virtual reality device must have a place to fit the skin above the central nervous system, and the device must also be worn near the back of the brain.

"[Neural Link] is equipped with a miniaturized, low-power electromagnetic pulse generator and a quantum computer processor. It is necessary to achieve full stealth, and the effect is not much worse.

But it is much smaller after all, in terms of heat dissipation of the body, high-frequency operating load, product manufacturing process and the rarity of raw materials, it is of course better than ordinary virtual reality equipment..."

"Hehe, you just say it's expensive, has many shortcomings, and the effect has not improved! I understand."

"Uh...that's true."

Xing Ke rolled his eyes, Dr. Shigemura was evasive in terms of budget.As for?It's not that I don't understand the reason for this.

This thing called a [neural link] is expensive, of course.It's like the difference between a laptop and a desktop computer.

No matter what kind of configuration, a label of "low power consumption" will be added to the notebook computer, and it will also reduce the running speed by several grades and increase the price by several grades.

The reason is this [low power consumption].

Because the size is too small, the heat dissipation is very slow, if you don't have enough power, the notebook will immediately become a stove, and then it will become a brick. Is there any wood?

The situation of this [neural Link] is only similar to that of a laptop.There are also differences.

A typical household nanoscale cPu and a tiny quantum computer used in a virtual reality device...can it be the same?

One is the remnants of the previous era, and the other is the next-generation dream machine that came into existence in advance, of course it is different.

To shrink quantum computers...

"Did you use any rare materials?"

"Haha... To be exact, there is no material that is not treasured at the core of this thing.

And the machines used to machine them are all of the smallest grades.While the failure rate is high, the speed is also slow. "

"Get your estimate out..."

"You turn back."

"Oh roar...a high-end residential area near Ginza. . A nice apartment, and that's the down payment.

It's not really expensive, but... the customer base is still small, and it's not worth selling this thing if you have money. Ordinary stealth equipment with the same effect, the price is [-]% of this, okay? "

"Uh... Actually, this thing has another function compared to ordinary stealth equipment, and it has real value just because of its small size. That is—[Augmented Reality{aR}] function... Stop it, don't use it. Looking at me like that, I know it's not a rare concept."

Dr. Shigemura coughed twice and continued:

"It is different from the aR form that is presented on the screen through the camera now on the market, and it is also different from the virtual projection technology you have to go before. This function is to directly send the image signal to the human optic nerve, and The visual signals conveyed by the retina to the optic nerve combine to form a new picture.

It has the same effect as playing the No.1 weighing game on the computer screen... By the way, isn't it in the plan {prophecy} book you gave me?

It's just that you call it [Incomplete Stealth Technology]. "

"Yeah, I did mention it, but shouldn't this technology be born after brain-implanted quantum computers... Forget it, forget it."

The technology tree is all crooked, and it is only natural that the technological progress of the two worlds is different.

Similar yet different.

"But, even if you say that, this thing is still too expensive for the price of this era..."

The reality expansion technology is different from the virtual reality technology, which can obviously change people's lives and quickly occupy the existing mobile terminal market.

Unlike virtual reality equipment, it was only sought after by avid gamers in the early days, and people who didn’t play games wouldn’t care too much.

Because the price is really high, even if the star carving does not make money, the price is still high... um, no, etc.

"Damn, am I stupid!? Old man from the village!"
