Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 264: Reverberation, echo and mirror (4/10)
Eternal life is the highest desire of almost all beings.
Because eternal life itself represents almost endless time, he can do almost all things and seek almost all meanings-as long as he has a goal, he will not think that eternal life is a bad thing, because it is all meanings The demonstration of reality is the collection of all desires and dreams.
In Terra Continent, even sublimated people have a short lifespan, and there are not many people who can't yearn for eternal life.
The stronger you are, the more you possess wealth, the more you have everything and want to have everything forever, the more you can't help but want it.
Don't crave, chase eternal life.
But...
Now Yin En just wants to laugh.
"The law of immortality?"
His face is very weird, like the kind of expression that wants to laugh but feels disgusting, mixed with a little bit of sympathy and disgust-probably like seeing a young man deliberately running a red light for a short video , As a result, it was crushed by a large truck into a mass of garbage that needed to be shoveled with a shovel.
He is like this, he wants to laugh, but also feels sad, feels disdainful, but feels pity for him and his family from the bottom of his heart.
The white-haired boy repeated with mixed feelings: "That's it? You call this eternal life?"
"Yeah."
As if infected by Yin En's emotions, Patrick sighed and his face remained expressionless.
He closed his eyes and sneered after a while: "They think this is eternal life."
Yoon Eun was speechless for a while.
Learning machines can instill knowledge through the subconscious mind. This is based on the fact that the Terrans have the technology of 'Xungu', a data-interactive organ that can directly communicate with electronic devices, and must be equipped with a brain that is adapted to data-based information transmission... …the brain structure of the Terrans was apparently also modified to fit their electronic creations.
Learning machines not only allow people to learn professional knowledge, but also can learn "aesthetics" and "etiquette sentiments"-except for the thinking mode that cannot be learned, it can basically learn almost all knowledge.
It can even help people who have lost part of their memory to 'learn' their backed up memories in the past again!
There was such a thing as a "memory and knowledge bank" on the earth back then. After all, the thinking mode also has an adaptation rate. The higher the adaptation rate, the higher the efficiency and stability of learning, and it is easier to master it thoroughly. .
So, here comes the problem.
If a person with a blank brain and no self-thinking at all learns another person's 'memory' in its entirety.
Can it be said that the learner and the learner are one person?
Can the learner use this method to achieve 'eternal life'?
The answer is obviously no.
Let’s not say that learning is only about memory. The structure of the brain is different, and the structure of the nerves is also different. Identity confusion occurs, but the learner and the learner do not necessarily have the same 'choice'.
This is obviously just another person with the same memory, not to mention eternal life, even having the same goal is impossible, let alone seizing the house or something.
The most, the most, can only be regarded as 'reverberation'.
But...
"This is not a dead end."
Although it looks very contemptuous on the surface, Yin En has already sounded the alarm in his heart: "The learning machine is only the instillation of the most elementary 'memory' and 'knowledge'-but, if the consciousness uploading machine that carries out 'cyberization' Rewriting the logic of its input and output can achieve 'consciousness duplication' and 'thinking algorithm duplication'!"
"A blank body, after consciousness copying and thinking algorithm copying, is catalyzed by some kind of surgery and drugs to reset its neural structure, then it can basically be regarded as the 'second me in the world'! "
"And this can already be regarded as an 'echo'!"
The thinking logic of the echo and the ontology is completely consistent. They will make exactly the same judgment when they encounter the same thing, and they will make different choices only because of the difference in intelligence.
If all the conditions are met, such as the exact same neural network, then accept the consciousness algorithm, instill memory, and reconstruct the nervous system, it is indeed possible to revive one person's will and thinking in another person.
Even, like an echo, you can create as many as you want.
At this point, it can basically be said to be 'eternal life'...for those who don't care about self-identity, just want to fulfill their 'goals' and 'dreams', regardless of who they are , there is an "other me" who is exactly like me, can make the same choices, and will never betray me, who can live on my behalf and complete my goals.
How is that different from living on your own?
But the problem is.
"It is impossible for them to accept only the level of 'echo'."
Yin En turned his head slightly, looked behind him, in the direction where Isengard left, and said solemnly: "How can these ascendants with great power and authority accept another 'weak self' to accept themselves? everything?"
"What they need is not an echo, but a 'mirror'!"
——What they need is not a consciousness replica, but a 'complete consciousness transfer'!
——Upload one's own thoughts completely to another person's brain, and then achieve the result equivalent to "seizing the house"!
"Are you so smart?"
This time, Patrick was really surprised. The blond nobleman originally thought that he needed to explain the difference between the echo and the mirror, but he didn't expect that Yin En could understand the difference between the two so easily.
But this is better.
So he shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course, what the 'Mirror Surface' needs is not only the simple transmission of thoughts, but also the 'transfer of soul'... After the third energy level 'Heart Light' level, the body and soul They are entangled and bound to each other, even at the fifth energy level, there is no way to separate the intact spirit from one's body while one's own body is intact."
"Although there is no essential technical difference between the mirror and the echo in theory, it adds a lot of difficulty because of the existence of the soul."
Indeed.
Yin En thought thoughtfully... Consciousness copying and thinking algorithm copying are not fundamentally different from uploading and downloading consciousness, but because this is Terra Continent, a world with the self-certification of 'soul'.
So the difficulty of uploading consciousness is far greater than that of the earth.
People on earth have no soul, and the only thing that can prove that they are themselves is the thinking algorithm and memory. After uploading, it is equivalent to transferring the self.
But it's not enough in Terra - in addition to memory and algorithms, the soul must also be transferred!
Reverberation, echo and mirror.
Mere memory; memory and algorithm; memory, algorithm and soul.
This is indeed a way to achieve eternal life through continuous transfer of self.
The only flaw may be that even if the soul of the memory algorithm is completely transferred, the original sublimated power cannot be left in the new body.
But it's not impossible.
The boy now fully understands why it is Isengard - he has the blood of the royal family, and he has the blood of the "Eroding Light and Refining Dragons"... If nothing else, the soil keeper Axel, Its purpose should be to occupy Isengarde's body, and then use the transformed Light Erosion Dragon Refining Blood to 'swallow' or 'symbiosis' his past body in turn!
In this way, he doesn't even need to practice again, he can directly have the strength of the fifth energy level again... The next thing to do is to gradually cut off the blood of the Erosion Light Refining Dragon and the old body. When he 'cuts off the old self', he is equivalent to living out the second life!
And in the process, he can even grasp all the wealth and power that annexed the entire Ellen family by the way, further strengthening the power of the royal family!
——It's a real flower!
Yin En can't be sure, this is Axel's complete plan, but according to the current intelligence speculation, this is probably the purpose of the keeper, the logic is self-consistent, and it can also explain Patrick's actions.
As an experimental material and a future transfer target, Isengard must have at least the strength of the fourth energy level before he can try to possess the fifth energy level of the "Emperor's Corpse". No, it can only erode the light of the dragon's blood.
"It's really...evil."
At this moment, even Yin En, who doesn't care much about these things, can't help but understand why Yin Naijia II... would reprimand his family ancestors as 'extremely evil'.
In particular, the ancestors who obtained this technology may have used this technology in private, or even been eroded by the "ancient echo" left in the civilization machinery of the previous era.
Yin En didn't intend to find out who was right and who was wrong between Yin Naijia II and his ancestors, since they were all dead anyway.
As for now, he fully understands why the people at Sequoia base denounce the Great Elder as a devil.
Because, whether it is reverberation, echo or mirror, people need to be used as materials.
In the absence of human cloning, this usually means obliterating a person's mind and keeping his body as a carrier of another life.
This is much more immoral than simple destruction.
Most of the doubts have been answered, and there is almost only one question left for Yin En.
"What about you?"
Raising his head and looking at Patrick, Yin En narrowed his eyes, covering the silver-blue light in his eyes: "Why didn't you tell Isengard about this?"
"Patrick...what is your purpose?"
