From the appearance, this thing looks like a...cube made up of several long strips of building blocks.
Because Yawgmoth's spacecraft is heading towards the edge of the solar system, the giant building outside the porthole looks pure black. However, the flash on the edge shows that at least part of the giant building is transparent.
.
Yawgmoth understood instantly. This is the Rainbow Bridge.
About nine huge long strips of giant buildings were connected to each other, eventually forming something like this.
A giant structure with a radius measured in "hundred kilometers". However, many parts of it are hollow, so its mass is lighter than a planet of the same volume. In addition, humans have also mastered more complex technologies that can consume electricity and use electromagnetic fields to
Share the weight of this giant structure to the overall structure.
And in more distant places, there are huge photovoltaic panels generating electricity.
Humanity has overcome many technical difficulties in the conversion of light energy into electrical energy, and the conversion efficiency is infinitely approaching the theoretical limit. Solar panels in the distance collect the power of the sun bit by bit close to the sun, and convert it into laser energy.
is an energy canal spanning one astronomical unit.
The "canal" is bringing life to the emperor's capital.
Yawgmoth quickly found the auxiliary plug-in installed on his feet. The solar wind in this area was already quite weak. Yawgmoth only put on simple radiation protection equipment and did not even replace the prosthetic body. He was like this
Rely on the magnetic auxiliary equipment on your feet to walk on the outer shell of the spacecraft.
Ingrid followed behind Yawgmoth: "You don't seem happy at all, Yawgmoth."
Yawgmoth's eyes touched Ingrid's black-armored prosthetic body, and the appearance of his friends in the "2077 simulated reality" flashed in his mind. He looked away and looked at the giant building that liberated the Emperor.
: "Looking at this... I can't be happy."
Zhu Xinyu could only temporarily confuse the system. Yawgmoth left the illusion at the cost of a border man staying there in his place.
Scientific research is gold mining, a gamble with the sky and the universe. Whether, when and what results can be produced are beyond the control of the scientist himself.
For the Emperor of Liberation, he could afford to wait for a brain that had not been produced for more than ten or twenty years.
Ingrid sighed and sat down behind Yawgmoth: "Don't think too much."
"Selena, Chen Feng, Tao Enhai...have these people been found?"
"Not yet." Ingrid shook her head: "But Xinyu is working hard to find..."
"I remembered. The last project these guys were working on." Yawgmoth covered his head: "They said they wanted to change their mind to upload consciousness. Computers currently cannot simulate the overall thinking of humans, but humans
In fact, the 'holistic thinking' is not necessarily very holistic. Countless data in the 21st century show that the human mind is actually divided into many different modules. Starting from low-level modules, gradually replacing nerves with circuits, and eventually
What do you get?"
"Ah, there is such a thing." Ingrid nodded: "I also had a hand in it and smeared some of the paper - it really seems like it happened in a previous life."
"Xiang Shan inherited this idea... not only inherited it. He even carried it forward." Yawgmoth held his head, "The rule of the liberating emperor relies heavily on this technology. The more traditional brain-computer barrier model is too safe.
...Although it is actually not safe, for the Liberation Emperor, the system security mechanism he created when he was young was too reliable. He should have started from scratch and chosen a more intrusive and radical transformation."
"Yeah." Ingrid nodded.
"In the past, we relied on the excellent structure of the brain to distinguish reality from virtuality...'The biological brain may be more complex than a Turing machine.' Until the human brain is completely understood, there is no answer to this question. According to Zhu Xinyu's answer to the question before the birth of the Emperor of Liberation
Judging from the latest update of the theory... internal strength relies on the 'mental whole' - that is, after all modules are combined in an orderly manner, powerful functions that cannot be possessed by any single module emerge."
"Just as complex life emerges from simple molecules...the primitive impulses of various modules can also converge into advanced consciousness."
Ingrid stared at the huge black cube speechlessly.
"What supports internal strength is the 'whole mind'. For one module, other modules are unknowable black boxes. Most modules do not know the specific process of internal strength. But our surface consciousness, self, can
The part that is actively grasped actually only occupies a small part of the whole mind." Yawgmoth said: "If our own consciousness wants to grasp the overall operation of the mind, it can only retrieve the whole through another one or several modules.
Then those modules give feedback... just like we operate the system through the computer's control panel. To us users, the only ones that are really visible are those few texts or graphics. The entire computer is to us
A black box."
Yawgmoth tilted his head upward and stared at Ingrid across his body: "The computer is a black box for the average user's mind... In fact, our surface consciousness is also a black box for the operation of the internal power. If 'retrieve the mind
The module of the overall state happened to be replaced... We just thought we had used our internal strength..."
Ingrid nodded: "Are you trying to say that you haven't left virtual reality yet?"
"It is indeed possible that this is reality. But is the difference between reality and virtuality really that big? The Emperor of Liberation can prepare a working environment for me in the virtual world, and he can also prepare it for me in the real world. The meaning of 'virtual'
It’s just about reducing costs. But if the benefits are high enough, Xiangshan won’t care about the costs.”
Yawgmoth stared at Ingrid: "Without internal strength, I have no way of knowing whether this is reality... Without internal strength, the database of the resistance forces may be unilaterally open to the Liberation Emperor... I..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ingrid shook her head: "You are driving yourself crazy, Yog."
Yawgmoth was silent for a moment: "If I were crazy and stopped researching, it might be a blow to the great cause of the Liberation Emperor."
Ingrid said: "Do you still remember what Xiang Shan said when everyone had regular meetings when chivalry was just starting to take off?"
"He said too many things. Which one?"
"When you are unable to destroy your opponent, you have to do something. You can get about a hundred benefits, and then your opponent can get about a hundred and twenty benefits. Do you want to do it at this time?"
Yawgmoth said: "That's nonsense."
"What if your capital is only fifty, but your enemy's capital is two hundred?"
"Can consider it."
"If your capital is one million, your opponent's capital is 1.1 million?"
"Then there's nothing to consider, right? There's a big difference between doing it and not doing it?"
"One percent is actually a very big number." Ingrid said, "Moreover, the so-called 'around one hundred' and 'around one hundred and two' are just estimated figures. The final result will not be the same.
It may be so accurate. In the course of the development of events, you may be able to get a benefit of 121 through operations, while your opponent will only get 101 in the end."
"This is the key to 'game'. If you and the enemy cannot destroy each other, but both can benefit from one thing, then you have to think about how to make yourself the party that gains more."
Ingrid pointed at the starry sky: "Due to the hibernation ability of the baseline people, the Liberation Emperor cannot guarantee that he can kill all the resisters. For the Liberation Emperor, 'tribute' is to use the abilities of the border people to work, and it is also to control
A method used by border people. Border people can survive without accepting tribute, but it is difficult to grow. Both sides feel that they can benefit from this game. The specific decision-making process is more complicated..."
Yawgmoth said: "But isn't this exactly what Xiangshan is good at? Empirical analysis of activities with ambiguous rules, chaotic processes, and invisible key information... He is very good at this kind of thing, right?
Potential enemies mistook him for an 'accomplice'..."
——So the company can...
Ingrid just asked him: "If it is just because the Emperor of Liberation may benefit from the process, won't you resist?"
Yawgmoth said nothing.
"If it were Xiang Shan two hundred years ago, he would definitely have said, let them earn it first, and in the end he would definitely let them pay it out with the profits."
Ingrid stood up and patted Yawgmoth: "Let's go. This is where we are, it's just the beginning."
"yes……"
In the shadow of the giant building, the spacecraft is slowly accelerating.
