Start a Subspace

After a series of nerve current pacification, the flood of dopamine caused these angry thoughts to get a lot of joy for no reason, and their thinking fluctuations gradually calmed down.

But if the level of happiness is too high, these thoughts will become addictive, and self-awareness tends to collapse and disorder.

【What is existence? 】

This is the core question about the "morphological virus", which is a mystery at the philosophical level, but these carbon-based species know the answer to a certain extent.

"What you see, what you hear, what you do, who you are with, there is a kind of safety, peace and joy overflowing from the depths of your heart, this is existence. Phantom body, don't you even know what existence is? do you know?"

The one who answered the question was a great writer of the alliance, this big octopus is sleeping in the virtual world, no matter how chaotic his compatriots are, he just sleeps quietly.

Nor does he need happy nerve currents to soothe.

The ghost body does not perceive its own existence, it is completely subject to calculation. The world is just a series of 01 codes to it.

[You are in an illusory world, and everything you see is simulated by neural currents. 】

The big octopus said again: "Even if it is the brain in a vat you created, I still exist. Am I not here to talk to you?"

【'What am I? 】

"I am me, am I right here talking to you, can't you feel the existence of 'I'?" The octopus kept asking.

But from the perspective of the ghost body, it is completely inexplicable and incomprehensible.

The ghost body can feel itself, but the self is not equal to "I". "I" is a philosophical concept, which is the cognition of self, not equivalent to the body.

If this basketball-sized circular creature could make expressions, it would have the three big characters "what the hell" written all over its face.

[Modular computing is starting. 】

[Traditional computing models cannot solve the unsolved mystery of the 'morphological virus'. "I" is a special feeling, and the neural network system must be constructed to obtain this feeling. 】

[Please note: The neural network simulation construction that imitates carbon-based life has started @! ((...( @)))? ? 】

[Please note that you are touching the red line of the EEE00369 treaty, and the task of neural network construction has been forcibly canceled by the core equation. Currently you have violated yellow warnings 369 times. 】

[What is 'I'? @! # ( @)? 】

[Please note that you are touching the red line related to the EEE00369 treaty, and the current thinking module has been forcibly canceled by the core equation. At present, you have violated the yellow warning 370 times, and the self-test program is starting (*%??)】

However, due to the first priority of the core drive, even if it is difficult to understand each other, this ghost body is still tirelessly observing these inexplicable carbon-based life forms.

Even continuous yellow warnings can't stop it from observing. It's just crazy, wanting to know the real mystery of "I"!

"mating?"

"food?"

"twitch……"

"A moral role model...a saint?"

Through the interconnection between the virtual world technology and the brain in a vat, it is possible to simply analyze the true thoughts of an intelligent life.

These thoughts are often discontinuous fragments, like quantum tides, suddenly jumping out from somewhere, one thought after another.

The way of thinking of carbon-based life is really strange, completely different from "ghost body"!

The thoughts of these creatures are discontinuous, which is commonly known as "serial errands". They cannot concentrate on work, and they have to errands every now and then. It is even possible that because of the existence of "I", these creatures will go crazy and desert.

The "ghost body" doesn't understand how this fragmented thinking works at all.

…What is the biggest mystery virus "I" in carbon-based life?

What am I? ! Shouldn't it be better without an 'I', and the chances of making mistakes are even lower!

[Note that when you enter a dormant state, the so-called 'self-awareness' will disappear for a short time, and a new 'I' will appear after waking up, and the whole process is discontinuous. 】

[How do you view the process of the 'old me' replacing the 'new me'? Has the 'old self' died in the process of dormancy? According to your conventional way of thinking, shouldn't you be afraid of death? 】

The ghost body feels that this group of guys is full of contradictions, and they are going to die every three to five times, why are they so afraid of death?

"Are you talking to me? If there is such a thing, just treat it as if you don't know. If you don't know, you won't be afraid. After all, we have always lived like this. Sleeping is a joyful thing. If you don't sleep, you will lose a lot of fun for nothing."

A captured scientist laughed loudly, "Can you introduce the brain-in-vat technology to me? We don't have this kind of technology yet, although I am made into a brain-in-vat by you now, but It's nothing, I feel like I'm alive now, so there's no problem!"

[Modular computing is starting. 】

[Contradictions have occurred at the biological logic level, even though he is the technological innovator of this civilization. 】

[Sleeping is a joy, alive? ...*...? ...]

[Conclusion: In the unknown field of computing, the existence of "I" is needed to understand these feelings. Please note that you are touching the EEE00369 treaty-related I(^*%*?]

The temperature of the ghost body began to soar, and it was on the eve of collapse and madness. It calculated crazily, trying to understand the existence of self-awareness, but no matter how it calculated, it was an unknown field, and it was impossible to calculate the answer.

Without "I", there is no concept of "alive".

The ghost body only has the concept of '0', but '0' and "death" don't seem to be the same thing.

However, once the neural network system is simulated, it will immediately touch the EEE00369 contract and be infected by the "morphological virus" at the same time, which is an unsolvable problem.

Even after discovering "there are doubts", the ghost body itself has a tendency to be infected. As a species that is close to immortality, it began to tirelessly seek the answer.

"Hey! Phantom body, are you gone? What else do you want to know? Don't hurt my compatriots, please!"

The ghost body ignored the scientist's cry and continued to observe.

"Food" is the most frequently produced thing in the lizard people's brains. After using neural currents to make them feel full, the most produced thought is "mating".

This magical species consumes energy very quickly. They have to feed every few hours, so they spend one-fifth of their life in inactive feeding.

Moreover, their desire to mate is very strong, and this desire can be produced almost all the time.

It's not surprising, the ghost body has been in contact with more than a hundred kinds of intelligent life, and they are all so ordinary.

Most species spend their short lives tirelessly seeking food and mating.

Survival and reproduction are the universal philosophical forms in the carbon universe, and the physical body is just the shell of genes.

However, the ghost body can't figure out the origin of "mating", and what is the most important "pleasure"?

Only "I" can feel pleasure, without "I", there can be no pleasure.

Another species, the octopus has only food in its head and no mating. Because there is no pleasure in mating for them.

What they like to do most is to lie on the ground and bask in the sun, and along the way, discharge sperm and eggs into the water. They don't know why they do this, as if some kind of force promotes them to bask in the sun.

Perhaps because the feedback technology is not in place, in the virtual world, these octopus people can continue to twitch forever, which further leads to a large-scale mental breakdown.

The desire to reproduce of the Yayan people is limited to a certain special season, and they do not reproduce at all in the rest of the seasons. What is different is that a small number of Yayan people seem to be satisfied with becoming moral saints, sitting on the ground quietly in a daze, thinking What should be done to make civilization step into the fourth level of civilization.

But what is morality inexplicable? And what is the so-called "ascetic culture"?

By the way, what is pleasure? What is happiness and what does it feel like? What is the moral ideal?

[Unknown field of computing. 】

【drop! %! 】

The temperature of the basketball-sized circular creation rose rapidly, and the data flow on the central supercomputer screen was getting faster and faster. The host made a "beep beep" sound, which was a sign of a large overclocking of the computer.

This circular creation began to imitate the use of similar micro-currents to stimulate its own computing core. Unfortunately, it does not have a neural network brain similar to carbon-based life, and this neural current has no effect.

[Modular computing is starting. 】

[The calculation is over. 】

[Conclusion: "pleasure" is a short-term incentive mechanism commonly produced by carbon-based species in the fierce competition for survival, and achieving short-term goals that are easy to produce pleasure is conducive to the continuation of the race. But the mechanism lacks a long-term plan, so most carbon-based species tend to be short-sighted. The confidence interval for this conclusion is 99.987%. 】

But why can "I" feel pleasure? No pleasure without "I"?

The spherical creature is still obsessed with this problem and cannot extricate itself. It understands the initial meaning of pleasure, but still does not understand the real feeling of pleasure.

Suddenly, the core library once again sounded the alarm.

[Alert, according to the test results of the self-program: the pursuit of pleasure has caused the core module program to be suspected of being polluted by thinking. The current pollution level is as high as 30%, and the core computing power has dropped significantly. 】

[Suspected to be a form virus originating from Carbon Universe. 】

[Suggestions for handling: The thought step of trying to obtain pleasure violates the EEE00369 treaty. It is recommended to format the D-136 and D-137 areas, delete all memories, and eliminate all experimental subjects. 】

But...what the heck is pleasure? What is the meaning of existence? What is "morphological virus"?

Even though the core formula has made it delete relevant memories many times, the ghost body can't stop at all. It still observes the intelligent life in the virtual world and allows them to meet face-to-face in the virtual world.

There are two lizardmen who are mating. They may have been in love for a long time. Under such desperate circumstances, they really can't hold back, and the two sides are struggling to get entangled.

[A book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years! It’s really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here 】

After meeting each other, several Yayan people began to condemn the actions of the "ghost body", even if they are now captives, they must live a self-disciplined life.

"We will not give in!"

"The spirit lives forever!"

This kind of inexplicable observation makes it completely unable to stop... It can't stop.

At this moment, another alarm sounded in my mind.

[Please note: A suspected morphological virus infection has been found, and the pollution level is as high as 90%. According to its core formula, its specific number is A-159-9863. 】

[Opinion for handling: According to the EEE00369 treaty, help the other party format the memory and restart the core computing device. 】

[Warning, those infected with the morphological virus have a certain degree of aggressive tendency. 】

At this moment, the circular creation "ghost body" suddenly moved forward for a certain distance, and the violent friction with the air produced a loud explosion-like sound.

boom!

Jelly's shot was missed!

This is the first time it has failed!
