From black technology to super engineering - #481 - Chapter 480

“At present, our understanding of the multidimensional universe is indeed insufficient. This is a fact.”

Ye Ming frowned slightly, leaning on the sofa, sitting in a very relaxed posture, looked at the two teachers and said softly: “Our school is an engineering school, so I have developed my engineer thinking. As for all the time, most of my energy has been put on technological breakthroughs rather than theoretical breakthroughs.”

Tang and Chen looked at each other, then nodded.

If someone else said Ye Ming’s words, they would definitely think that the other party was boasting—what? What’s wrong with the earth not spinning without you? Why hasn’t science developed yet?

But Ye Ming is their proud disciple—at least in name. And over the years, Ye Ming has proved that…without him, science would not have developed to this level.

As Ye Ming’s teachers, they are very clear that Ye Ming is more of a “genius engineer” than a “genius scientist” on the road of science – of course, the “scientist” here refers to the kind of A stereotyped description, rather than not thinking that Ye Ming is a scientist.

It’s just that compared with those “pure theoretical scientists” who are good at theory, who are good at proposing formulas, equations, and constructing the underlying structure, he is better at starting from reality and advocating “doing”.

“You mean, you plan to spend more energy in the direction of theory in the future?”

“We must spend more energy. We have many observation methods in the Sanwei universe, but we have almost no observation methods for the high-dimensional universe. At present, only two methods of dimensional wave detection and electromagnetic wave detection are effective, and there are even many noises… “Ye Ming rubbed his eyebrows, sighed and said: “I asked Professor Huo Laien and Harvard to think about other high-dimensional observation methods, but they thought about it for a month, but they couldn’t think of anything.”

Professor Tang laughed happily: “The means of observation should belong to the category of experimental physicists. If you let them think about it, wouldn’t that embarrass them?”

“Oh, but I don’t have that much energy… But yes, I won’t be able to find another solution for a while.”

Professor Chen nodded with a smile: “We still have to start with the theoretical framework.”

“Yes, it is still necessary to unify the space metrics of different dimensions mathematically.”

“Where is the difficulty of the space metric now? Five dimensions? Or higher dimensions?”

Hearing this, Ye Ming sighed again: “Three-dimensional.”

“Three-dimensional? Our universe?”

“It is a three-dimensional universe, and it has a relationship with our universe that contains and is contained.”

Professor Chen looked at Ye Ming suspiciously.

Why is the difficulty the most difficult in this universe?

“Why?”

“Mr. Chen, if I say that it’s only because I’m in this mountain, will you think I’m being perfunctory?”

Professor Chen was startled, but then laughed: “You guy—are you going to make a lot of subversive changes to the existing basic theories?”

Before Ye Ming could answer here, Professor Tang immediately shook his head: “I don’t think it should be a subversion, but that many existing scientific systems and theories have been proven and tested, and it is impossible to use it at the model scale of a three-dimensional universe.” To be overthrown, instead, the new model has to fit it perfectly—isn’t it?”

“Yes!” Ye Ming nodded: “It’s similar, I wrote a formula, Einstein wrote a formula, and then combined the two – the problem now is that my formula is based on the four-dimensional space , Einstein is based on three dimensions…”

Professor Tang shrugged his shoulders, looking like “I can be your teacher, but I can’t help you with this problem at all”.

Professor Chen continued to ask: “What if the spatial metric is unified…?”

“Then…” Ye Ming pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes again.

“In that way, we can cross dimensions while maintaining energy!”

“We can enter the four-dimensional space arbitrarily, and then reach any place in the three-dimensional space from the four-dimensional space.”

//Note: Here is a reference to Ye Ming’s previous discussion on crossing dimensions at Professor Huo Laien’s home. For example, a black dot moves to another point on the paper. By folding, it is to cross a wormhole. The method of “picking up” the black dot and putting it directly at the end point is “in-dimensional and out-dimensional”, and after establishing the corresponding spatial coordinate system, you can reach any coordinate when you go out of the dimension.

//Actually, there is another way here, which is to directly read all the data of the original item, including the atomic arrangement, and then “print” and “copy” it without “taking it up”. The long-distance teleportation of a person is actually to clone one at the target location instantly, and the original body is directly destroyed.

…

After seeing off the two professors, Ye Ming rested on the sofa for a while. When the clock hit ten o’clock, the door was knocked again.

Director Niu appeared at the door hand in hand with He Mo, whom he had seen for several days.

“Did you have a guest just now?” He Mo went straight to the water dispenser after entering the door, and then saw the water stains on the teacup.

“Well, Lao Tang and Lao Chen came to sit for a while.” Ye Ming smiled and took a look at his teacup, and motioned He Mo to make a cup for himself.

“What are you talking about?” Director Niu sat down across from Ye Ming and asked casually.

“Just chatting, chatting about the life form and material form of the high-dimensional universe.” Ye Ming seemed to think of something: “Musk mentioned the digitization of life to me today, do you have any news about them?”

The reason why Ye Ming asked this is because this project did not enter Aita at all, which means that Musk did it himself with a quantum computer…

Frankly speaking, he was really a little wary.

At this time, Director Niu and He Mo looked at each other, and then his face straightened: “I came here to tell you about this.”

“Old America and some countries put forward many prospects for the future human world, as well as the route of technological development, and one of them mentioned a digital life.”

Ye Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, and then snorted softly: “Playing the piano randomly! I really want to live forever, and my consciousness will never die?”

Director Niu smiled slightly, and resumed his serious expression: “They call it, the Heavenly Project.”

Ye Ming was stunned, and suddenly realized.

Yes, it turned out to be based on faith.

If a person can really exist in another life or ideology after death, wouldn’t that be “going to heaven”?

“And then? Well, don’t think about it, they definitely can’t figure it out.”

“So they think that the technology of the future … should develop in that direction.”

At this time, He Mo brought the teacup and sat beside Ye Ming.

She went to the moon a while ago, and spent most of the time in a low-gravity environment, which made her skin look a little tighter-well, to relieve sagging skin, which is indeed one of the slogans of the upcoming lunar trip.

“They made a request that we fully share the data of the brain-computer and the biological investigation of the Canglan Planet. In other words…”

“It’s just that some people are dying and can’t wait, can they?”

Ye Ming’s words were a bit harsh.

However, although Ye Ming’s words were ugly, they were not rough, and they were telling the truth.

It’s just that Ye Ming didn’t expect that these people… dare to be so aggressive-even the SIRT-8 longevity gene protein, which is about to undergo human experiments, can’t wait, and want to go to “heaven” in one step.

“I don’t know if they believed in Musk’s evil or something. In short… As the director of the brain-computer center, I think that the step from signal to consciousness is irreversible at present, and I don’t have any ideas.”

“I can even speculate that they may have said that this will allow human beings to have endless time and give birth to infinite wisdom…right?”

He Mo pursed his lips and smiled, even with a bit of coquettishness – this can only show that Ye Ming’s guess is too correct!

Ye Ming pointed to his head, and said seriously: “However, to achieve independent consciousness with self-awareness, it is absolutely not possible to simulate synaptic discharge, and even assigning everyone a quantum computer will not help. “

“Then what do you mean?” Director Niu lowered his eyes and paused for a few seconds before saying, “Even if you only retain consciousness when you are dying, entering a digital world—similar to going to heaven— Then completely disconnect from the world and not interfere with reality.”

“Even so, at present, it is technically impossible to achieve, and you are against it, right?”

Hearing that Director Niu added so many attributives and prepositions, it can even be said that he gave the “bottom line” of the plan, Ye Ming was taken aback!

What I said… seems to have a mystery!

When Director Niu saw his appearance, he let out a long sigh: “People are afraid of death, mainly because they are afraid of the disappearance of consciousness.”

Ye Ming probably understood.

As long as you are human, you will always be afraid of “death”.

In silence, he let out a long sigh.

“Old Niu, if immortality at the level of consciousness can be achieved, I don’t know… what kind of human beings will develop into—even at that time, we should consider whether human beings, a group in the biological sense, will still exist , will it reproduce?”

“If there is no ‘human’ in the biological sense… then what kind of existence is human being?”

Listening to Ye Ming’s emotion, Director Niu also sighed.

Perhaps to others, these assumptions and worries are just “delusions” or “unfounded worries”, but from the perspective of people like them… this must be considered.

At this time, He Mo asked suddenly: “You said, is it possible that such a race exists in the universe?”

“The age of the universe is tens of billions of years, will there be such races everywhere?”

//Note: Maybe you don’t like to watch these… But science fiction, you have to fantasize about it, and I think it’s quite interesting and meaningful…

//Note: “Project Paradise”, whether to point out this technology tree or not is up to everyone to decide. Welcome to leave a message in this text to express your opinion. I will count it in a month.

…

When He Mo asked a question similar to Musk’s again, Ye Ming didn’t know how to answer it.

But he knows that with the current public opinion in the whole society, including the mainstream media and social media, they are beginning to vigorously exaggerate the historic moment when human beings entered the “third-level civilization”.

Then naturally, people will think in a more “sci-fi” direction.

Many years ago, humans proposed two directions for the future.

A brain in a vat, a sea of ​​stars.

Now that the sea of ​​stars has been realized, let alone “brain in a vat, holographic life”, even the comprehensive brain-computer interconnection has not been figured out yet.

Hmm… It’s not that I don’t understand it at all. At least, with the rapid development of chip materials, the current technology has made great breakthroughs in some difficult and miscellaneous diseases in the past, especially neurological diseases – as early as six years ago A few days ago, Zhou Xuchen wore electronic eyes, and the paraplegic Tang Haowen stood up again.

Tang Haowen is now married…

It’s just that the comprehensive brain-computer interconnection is really close, mainly because the human brain is too sophisticated and fragile, and the thinking is too complicated.

But this doesn’t affect people’s fantasies in this regard at all!

After pondering, Ye Ming said softly: “All I can think of now is to fully understand the logic of consciousness generation-please note that it cannot be experimented with the black box method we used to train AI.”

Director Niu hummed and looked closely at Ye Ming.

He Mo seemed to have returned to the time when he was Ye Ming’s graduate student a few years ago, and immediately asked, “Why?”

“Because the conditions for satisfying digital ascension – we can use digital ascension to describe it – are the integrity of consciousness and complete inheritance. Instead of letting the consciousness of A participate in the training, and then come out with a number of A It is enough for the consciousness to say that you are A, which must maintain the consistency of personality.”

He Mo pursed his lips and thought for a few seconds, then nodded slightly: “Well, I understand, we can’t cause schizophrenia.”

“You can understand it that way.”

“Then the question is, is the birth of consciousness logical?” Ye Ming looked at the two of them.

Director Niu and He Mo frowned slightly, shaking their heads slowly.

As the people who are most familiar with Ye Ming, they certainly know that Ye Ming will not talk about “creator” or “god” easily.

But only consciousness, Ye Ming said more than once, is the realm of the Creator.

Then… the difficulty makes sense.

To carry out the “Heaven Plan”, it is only possible if human beings first become the Creator.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this for now.” Director Niu let out a long sigh after being silent for a few seconds, then he adjusted his mood and took a sip from his teacup.

“Tomorrow is the last day of the meeting, and a new Human Science Federation will be established.”

Ye Ming nodded slightly. Although he didn’t care about the meeting process, he could always catch a glimpse everywhere. And I heard it when I communicated with the leaders.

“You will be the president of this federation.”

“Fuck…” Ye Ming’s eyes widened instantly, his buttocks felt like they were being burned: “Do you think I’m not busy enough or something?”

Director Niu and He Mo looked at each other, and they couldn’t help laughing at the same time.

He Mo: “Look, let me just say, he’s definitely not happy.”

“No…well, I know…” Ye Ming looked constipated: “Yes, I’m really a bit awesome.”

He Mo immediately praised him: “That’s pretty awesome.”

Ye Ming glared at her: “But where do I have time?”

“You should have time.” Director Niu chuckled, “Ye Ming, the century-old vision for the development of human science in the future is all on you…”
