Super technology leader
Chapter 331 The Future of Mankind
It is not so easy to achieve electronic immortality.
Of course, everyone knows this.
From ancient times to the present, from reality to literary works, there will always be people who pursue immortality.
For example, in the ancient days of Tianxia, various emperors tried to survive for immortality, and ended up eating elixir. No matter how true or fabricated, they all showed human pursuit of longevity.
There are also various literary works in pursuit of immortality and Taoism. Even Monkey King first asked when he was learning Taoism: "Can I get longevity?"
And many foreign legends, what do you do with the devil for immortality, sacrifice to an indescribable existence for your own life, pray for God to give yourself eternal life, blacken the world if you don’t give it, etc. Something similar.
These things can be seen in certain mentality of human beings, and a longer life span has always been pursued by humans.
"Want to live longer" is not only an extension of power and desire for pleasure, it is also of great significance to the development of human civilization.
Do you think, how many major projects were saved because of the death of the leader?How many experiments that were carried out at critical moments were thrown into the archives because of the death of the leader?
Although everyone is human, you have to admit that people and people cannot be generalized, and the leading role of some people is really unparalleled!
Those internationally renowned scientists, even those who have influenced the course of history, will feel regret when their lives come to an end.
If one emperor lives for another twenty years, what impact will it have on the world?
You must know that he was the one who established the Tianxia unified system, and the subsequent great dynasties made modifications on his basis.
What if Maozi's original aerospace transportation expert lived another twenty years?
You must know that he was the one who allowed Maozi's aerospace technology to be ahead of Meriken for a long time, and he was so breathless in the early stages of the space race.
"If he lives for a few more years, the world will definitely be different."
This is a question that many people have thought about.
Although the current technology of mankind is not good enough, it can't stop mankind's brain power. Various literary works have given many paths.
There are many roads, but in summary, there are two roads, one is physical immortality and the other is electronic immortality.
Physical immortality is to use various techniques to keep your body healthy, so that you can live forever, even to the extreme, if your body is not good enough, you can change your head and use someone else's body.
Since the birth of mankind, basically this road has been taken. With the development of science and technology, various diseases and injuries have been resolved. The average life span of mankind has gone from a teenager to the current average of 70, and it will be even longer in the future. Break through the limit of human life, even if this road is clear.
Electronic immortality is even more extreme. Now scientific research has found that the human body does not seem to be an essential part of "life".
Just like farming, people used to recognize that plants must be planted in the ground to grow, but now people have discovered that it can be planted without soil, and it can be planted in water.
Some people think that the body is actually similar to the brain, it is a device that delivers nutrients.
If the technology is enough, you can just take the brain out and put it in a nutrient box to survive and think, as long as the nutrient solution in the nutrient box is not exhausted, as long as the energy supply is continuous.
Even more extreme, all substances are not needed, not only the body, but also the brain, just "consciousness"!
Some people think that human self-cognition is just some memories and some electrical signals. This is also some related technology of neural access to virtual reality. If all consciousness is converted into electrical signals and uploaded directly to computers and networks, humans can live forever.
It's just that these methods have one problem that needs to be solved, and that is the "self" problem.
It's better to keep strengthening your body. After all, all the parts are your own, but the life span has become longer, and you are still yourself. This is easy to understand.
If you change your head and body, do you count yourself or someone else, or two in one?
The upload of consciousness is even better. You don't even need the body. The brain in the tank still has a brain, which is something on your body, and your consciousness really becomes a string of data.
At that time, is "you" you, or even you are not human anymore?
What is the difference between you and advanced artificial intelligence?
Is it time to call you an electronic life?
Get you a mechanical body, you are a real "robotic", so are you doing mechanical ascent?
In the end, many problems are not only technical problems, but also human moral and ethical problems.
The roles played by ethics and morality are also dual.
Some people think that they are a buffer layer for the stable development of human civilization and are very necessary.
Some people think that they are obstacles to the development of human civilization and are completely unnecessary.
If there is no ethical and moral intervention, humans may now have been transformed into "tentacles" through various artificial biological engineering.
"You" can accept, and even "you" feels good-looking and practical are all "you" things, but some people don't accept it, some people just think that the original form of human beings is beautiful and only accepts the human form.
If this is to cause a complete division of races, and finally human beings and "humans" themselves will do it, and finally the end of civilization will be fought, who is this?
So don't look at the Navigator now sprinting towards 100% nerve penetration, but reaching 100% is not the end, but a starting point. After that, there is still a lot to do.
Even the final 100% of the infiltrated equipment is to be shelved or to be permanently sealed, which is also a question.
But that's what's going to happen later, and it's also something that humanities scientists want to talk about. For now, the old scientist who has listened to Tang Chao's talk about the prospects can no longer sit still.
No matter what open-mindedness, what to look out of, and what to give to young people, nothing exists. I can do it for another twenty years!
Some elderly people even said on the spot, "When do you need a real person to test, find me, I will be a 100% infiltrating tester!"
Well, let's see it, it doesn't matter whether you die or not. It's more important to have a breakthrough in a project for a lifetime than that, and I don't hesitate to dedicate myself to it.
Seeing the old scientists getting more and more excited, Tang Chao didn't dare to let them stay here, so he quickly led away.
Originally wanted to let the old scientists take a rest, but they didn't, and they wanted to discuss with Tang Chao about the introduction of equipment.
With a dive tank with a dive level of 80%, a helmet with a dive level of up to 50% is certainly not good.
Of course, the helmet market must be supported. After all, it is used by the masses. The order of magnitude is huge, and the subsidy of 100 billion yuan will not be less. But in the high-tech field, that is another matter.
For example, the space agency, advanced research institutes and other places, they use the dive capsule is the most cost-effective.
Although it is very expensive to dive into the cabin, those places are not used much, so it is actually "not much money" in the calculation.
When money can be exchanged for high performance, and money is not a problem, people are happy to do it.
The requirement to purchase the dive cabin was nothing, and Tang Chao was ready to sell it to them when he let them see it.
But this matter must be kept secret, now the outside world only knows about 50% of helmets.
At least it must be kept secret for a period of time, for a period of time only...
It depends on the situation.
