Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 270: The mystery of self-awareness

It coincides with the Spring Festival, and Zhang Yuan is in his office, reading a scientific research report attentively.

In the past few years, he has been busy almost every day, especially during the period of communication with the Gliese civilization, all kinds of messy affairs and endless worries, it is simply a mess. It is good to be able to sleep for three or four hours a day.

However, after so many years, talents in various fields have gradually been cultivated, and power can be gradually delegated to these professionals. Diplomatic issues, population issues, and education issues also have their own experts responsible, so now he only needs to manage his own technology.

Science and technology are self-evident for mankind, and it is the foundation for a civilization to survive in the vast universe!

Thinking of the heavy pressure, Zhang Yuan would rather not leave the Spring Festival holiday, but also went to work in the office. Anyway, reading this kind of scientific research report brings a high degree of happiness, not much different from rest.

As a result, Zhang Yuan jumped up from the stool in shock!

According to this scientific research report, the elite scientists in the UNREAL Unreal Lab have initially deciphered the mystery of the "Bozeman Quantum Consciousness Converter"!

It's just preliminary, and it's exciting enough.

This instrument turned out to be a powerful "biological quantum computer"!

Its magic... not only can upload human "self-awareness", but also the consciousness of other animals, such as mice, rabbits, dogs, cats and other creatures, and even the consciousness of insects and reptiles. Upload!

The entire process of capturing "self-awareness" is very strange. First, the right-handed neutrino scanning method is used to decipher the brain structure of life, read its core memory, and then send a series of complex electromagnetic waves.

This series of electromagnetic waves will gradually approach the brain waves, and then in an instant, self-consciousness is inexplicably uploaded. Due to the different structures of the brains of various organisms, the electromagnetic waves sent will also be different, and people have not figured out the rules until now.

This phenomenon is simply incredible, beyond human imagination!

"Right-handed neutrino scanning?" Zhang Yuan frowned. This technology alone does not know how long humans will be able to fully grasp it...

Neutrinos are one of the basic particles that make up the natural world. They do not participate in electromagnetic interactions and have very, very powerful penetrating power.

This kind of penetrating power is much stronger than traditional X-rays. X-rays cannot penetrate even a few centimeters of lead, but neutrinos can easily penetrate a planet!

Under normal circumstances, natural neutrinos are left-handed, and right-handed neutrinos are actually the antiparticles of left-handed neutrinos. In theory, they can be used to detect matter, and this detection will not damage The properties of the substance itself.

Zhang Yuan shook his head, temporarily tossed these technical difficulties behind his head, and continued reading.

"...Only some higher beings can have a'self'."

Ichiro Yamamoto, the chief biologist in the Unreal Lab, wrote in this research report: "... Living organisms with underdeveloped brains, such as insects and reptiles, are driven by instinct in every move, not so much. It’s self-consciousness, more so as a biological robot!"

"After these insect consciousnesses are uploaded, most of the data streams that can be captured are visible, and only a few are invisible. The more complex the life, the higher the invisibility of the data stream..."

"If you forcibly read this part of the invisible data, and then return your consciousness. The creature will be directly paralyzed and there is no way to resurrect..."

Being paralyzed is not directly dead, but in a vegetative state. The brain stem can still work normally, and the various organs are also working normally, but there is no way to wake up.

Scientists have no way to conduct experiments with living humans for the time being. Most of the experimental individuals are those cats, dogs, or monkeys cloned from artificial wombs, but it can also explain a large part of the problem!

What does this show?

Explain that some of the assumptions in the "Bozeman Self-Awareness" theory are likely to be correct!

"The real self-awareness of human beings may be a series of quantum entangled states, which can only be transferred to the computer as a whole, but there is no way to forcibly read and copy them."

"Once copied, read the specific information inside, the quantum entangled state will be destroyed, the wave function collapses, and the random number becomes a fixed value!"

Seeing this, with a "bang", Zhang Yuan knocked on the table very excitedly.

Even humans still cannot understand the specific principles of this technology, but a very important problem has been solved.

That is, the question of whether the "I" before and after are the same.

If it’s just a quantum leap instead of just duplicating a memory, or saying “kill the old me to form a new me”, then... I believe many people can still accept this The door is new technology.

This is just the first breakthrough point.

The second breakthrough is that ordinary computers cannot carry the uploaded consciousness, so a biological computer using a neural network architecture is needed, plus a special quantum chaos algorithm.

After using biological computers and chaotic algorithms, humans have no way of knowing what is being calculated inside, which guarantees the "unreadable nature" of consciousness.

"Biological computer..." Zhang Yuan frowned, and another problem appeared.

"If you must use a biological computer... we want to imitate, it is very difficult."

Biological computers and photonic computers are two different directions. The main raw material of a biocomputer is protein molecules produced by bioengineering technology, and this is used as a biochip.

The biological computer can carry, regardless of the arrangement data, and the folding data, so it can carry an extremely large amount of data.

The most important thing is that it is not like an electronic computer. It cannot be repaired automatically after the chip is damaged. It has the ability to repair itself. Just like the human body, if the damaged part is not large, it will repair itself.

The reason why mankind has not developed vigorously is...because it is too difficult to implement, it is too difficult for a single gate element to implement complex biological logic pathways, far inferior to the simplicity of the photonic chip.

He sighed slightly: "But ~IndoMTL.com~ has an alien biological computer as a reference, there should be some breakthrough points."

"Hey, there are still many difficulties..."

After reading this report, he quickly got up and went to Unreal Lab. This information is so amazing that I have to pay attention to it!

Hurrying to the door of the laboratory, Professor Yamamoto was already standing outside waiting, as if he had expected Zhang Yuan's arrival.

"Self-awareness is probably an algorithm that relies on memory! Quantum algorithm!" Yamamoto didn't have any ink, and he spoke out the biggest research results straight away, and led Zhang Yuan to visit the latest research progress.

"Algorithm?" Zhang Yuan wondered.

"Yes, it's possible!" Yamamoto's old face flushed, and he looked very excited.

The philosophical problem that plagued countless predecessors turned into a scientific problem that can be solved inexplicably. Thinking that this previously unimaginable mountain might be conquered, I trembled with excitement.
