Start a Subspace

After the meeting, scientific researchers from both sides were still excitedly discussing questions related to the "brain in a vat".

"The first goal now is to resuscitate these brains in the vat and stabilize their temperaments."

"The further brain-computer interfaces that will be completed next and the development of more advanced bionics technology will further deepen the research on intelligence during the entire process."

"Yes, yes, let's work together."

Kachajin, the leader of the Blue and Gold Era, was naturally very happy, including the octopus man and lizard man behind, who were also smiling from ear to ear.

With a matter of concern resolved, those brains in the vat finally stopped dying and were finally able to survive in the virtual world. Whether it's based on humanitarianism or the pressure within the race, things have improved a lot.

Coupled with the recent friendly cooperation with humans, the two sides are no longer alienated.

Only Zhang Ran was worried about Lin Qiuyue's suggestion. This was a secret, a high-end secret for all mankind.

He was actually very hesitant.

In front of a large number of reporters, Kachajin shook hands with Zhang Ran very friendly: "Friends, let's take our cooperation further."

"I also hope our friendship can continue to grow!"

An inspiring feeling bursts from the bottom of my heart.

Zhang Ran stared at the other person's forehead with emotion for a few times, as if he wanted to see through his thick skull and see through the things inside, which contained some kind of mystery of advanced civilization...

Katchakin is also a psionic person with a unique power to inspire people, which may have something to do with self-awareness.

When shaking hands, Kachajin always felt that Zhang Ran's eyes were strange and gave him a creepy feeling. The orangutan-like alien blinked and looked around in surprise, but found nothing...

Is this an illusion?

"Click! Click!" A large number of reporters kept taking pictures, and the reporters of the Blue and Gold Era Alliance had already used flash cameras produced by humans.

…

…

After Lin Qiuyue woke up from the lounge, she found that the meeting had dispersed and Jelly was guarding her conscientiously.

There was a message from Zhang Ran in the contact device, asking her to have a good rest, take good care of her body, and not to work overtime too much.

She sighed softly... How could human beings develop so fast without working overtime?

And there's another reason why she can contribute.

"Jelly, please go back with me and meet that guy for a while."

The jelly bounced a few times.

Lin Qiuyue stood up, drove the "Jelly Anti-gravity Speedster" back to the office, took off her heavy power armor, and glanced at the computer screen again.

There are a lot of letters in the work mailbox that need to be processed. A supercomputer in the next room is still running data. It is loaded with simulation data about the human brain. It is estimated that it will take a week or two to run out the results.

The "psychic person" conjecture just raised to Zhang Ran was not a random thought, but... well-founded!

"Hey, are you there?" Lin Qiuyue called softly.

A nearby box made a slight noise, and a basketball-sized luminous object flew out of the box.

Ghost body!

If there were other people around, they would definitely be horrified by this scene. The ghost body actually appeared in the human office!

However, Lin Qiuyue was obviously not surprised by this scene, and she was mentally prepared to a certain extent.

[You should have understood the complete principle of ‘brain in a vat’. The remaining data are mostly analytical details and need to be completed by yourself. 】

Lin Qiuyue said: "Yes. We have understood the big framework, but there are still many details left."

The ghost body appeared a month ago!

It sneaked into the Oriental Rock without anyone noticing and found Lin Qiuyue.

This time, not even Jelly noticed anything unusual! Fortunately, the ghost became very weird this time and did not show any aggression, let alone attack human computers.

It took the initiative to find Lin Qiuyue, but made a very strange request to imitate thinking!

At that time, Lin Qiuyue was naturally extremely surprised. This super life form could easily destroy human existence and actually wanted to imitate her thinking.

However, after hearing the other party's request, her first reaction was not fear, but curiosity with a hint of doubt.

"Why me?" she asked.

The ghost body replied: [Parallel thinkers, from a comprehensive perspective, are most likely to have a thinking form of silicon-based species, and are the masterpieces of high-level civilizations in the carbon universe. The only difference is that the parallel thinker has the existence of "I", has self-awareness, and is an advanced computer with self-awareness. 】

[Silicon-based species do not have self-awareness. 】

[To crack the ultimate mystery of the form virus, a ‘me’ must be born. 】

[After building a neural network system and generating self-awareness, the individual's computing power will be greatly reduced. Only by imitating the neural network system of parallel thinkers can we save computing power as much as possible. Your current state of mind has almost no possibility of sinking into depravity, and it is an object worthy of imitation. 】

The reason given by the ghost body is simple. By imitating Lin Qiuyue, it can retain higher wisdom as much as possible.

Rather than being stupid like jelly.

So it came here and tried to seek cooperation.

Lin Qiuyue wrinkled her nose. The ghost body's statement was consistent with many previous conjectures.

[…You don’t need to worry about your life safety. The main priority of this mission is to build a ‘parallel thinking’ neural network and give birth to local ‘self-awareness’, not to destroy the organism. 】

[You need to inject nanobots into your bloodstream. With the flow of blood, these nanorobots will completely build the brain's neural network, which will take a month. 】

[As the most common equal transaction rule among organisms, after completing the task, you can claim equal reward. 】

The ghost sent a series of messages.

Lin Qiuyue pondered for a moment and was shocked by this information.

This guy actually has no "self-awareness" as suspected.

It also clearly expresses a strong desire for "self-awareness".

This seems very strange.

"Philosophy tree...Silicon-based life forms are also studying philosophy trees..."

It's quite strange to think about it. Human beings are researching higher intelligence. In order to obtain higher intelligence, they even want to become computers.

And the silicon-based type wants to become a human?

Facing this powerful life form, she thought for a long, long time, because humans couldn't defeat it with conventional combat power, and jelly actually... couldn't defeat it either.

If she refused, it could bring about a real catastrophe, and even her own life would be in danger.

Moreover, the reward given by the other party was extremely generous, so generous that she felt excited.

So, after negotiation, the two parties reached a deal...

…

Today was the day when the deal was cleared. After seeing the ghost body, a small gap appeared from her temple. A drop of nano-liquid metal the size of a raindrop seeped out and was recycled by the ghost body.

Higher-level technology, like magical existences, these nanorobots circulated in her mind with the blood circulation for a month, collecting complete neural network information.

These valuable data are stored in a supercomputer and humans themselves can use them.

After the ghost got this data, he still said in a calm tone: [Organism, you can ask for equivalent compensation. 】

There were countless questions swirling in Lin Qiuyue's mind, never stopping for a moment.

This month, she has been treating it with a normal attitude, acting very cautious and calm. One time, she "accidentally" found jelly to protect herself.

But Jelly behaved very strangely. She did not directly attack the ghost body, but just stayed with her and protected her silently.

Fortunately, in the past month, the ghost body has indeed not endangered human safety. On the contrary, it has given quite a lot of technical tips for the brain in the vat. Otherwise, how could this technical difficulty be so easy to break through?

After Lin Qiuyue confirmed that her health was good, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed difficult to bear the pressure of facing the ghost body alone.

Just today, this hurdle was finally passed...

This is an explanation for His Highness.

She asked with some curiosity: "Why did you choose humans? Humans are not the smartest creatures in the carbon universe. Imitating human brains is not an excellent choice."

"My IQ should be considered average among the civilizations of the universe, right? There should be creatures smarter than me, and I am not the only parallel thinker in the universe."

The ghost body bloomed with a faint light, which was a sign that it was calculating certain problems and got what it wanted. Its attitude seemed to be pretty good: [Is this part of the equivalent reward? 】

"No, it's just a casual question. You can choose not to answer. You should understand that human curiosity is part of the inner driving force. I just want to know the answer."

The ghost body said: [Because humans are a relatively special species, imitating the human neural network system can obtain a more complete self-ideological structure. Human diversity is a relatively valuable case study. 】

"Why?" She was confused. Looking at the entire universe, there are countless civilizations, including so many advanced civilizations. Do humans really have any special characteristics?

Whether it is the Green Star people, the West Badi people, or the Blue-Gold Age Alliance, even if we compare the few civilizations we encounter, humans are just mediocre.

Regardless of racial values, innate intelligence, some thinking forms at the base of genes, or even the constructed social system, humans are only at the middle level.

The fact that humans have survived to this day is not the worst civilization, but it is not the best either.
