As technology continues to develop.
All the organs in the body can be replaced.
Now only the brain is left.
Just like someone said.
If your brain has been replaced too.
Will you still be you?
This is the famous philosophical concept of the Ship of Theseus.
Just to be stronger, or live longer.
Of course they want to enter the realm of the soul.
It’s just something that belongs to the category of thinking.
Everything involving the brain is not as simple as imagined.
Because when they could replace their hands and feet at will, they could replace any organ in the body at will.
They discovered that their brains gradually began to fail to keep up with their needs.
Because our brains were originally designed to control the natural physical body.
But now we are transforming like this.
Insert various neural signals and electronic impulses into the biological brain.
It was okay at first.
Everyone has spent a lot of effort to enable the brain to recognize the electrical signals of the hands and feet.
Later, the technology gradually began to mature.
Everyone discovered that if the whole body were replaced with mechanical components.
Most people’s brains will be overwhelmed.
It cannot handle so much information processing.
This will lead to some strange situations.
In the Western world it would be called cyberpsychosis.
But in fact, it is because the modified mechanical prosthetic body is too powerful.
The brain cannot handle such a flood of information.
Then increasing knowledge and increasing lifespan.
The knowledge that humans need to learn is also showing explosive growth.
Compulsory education is no longer enough to cover the required level of knowledge.
In the beginning, artificial intelligence AI was created.
This is to free humans from repetitive labor.
Unexpectedly, things seemed to take a different path.
Some artificial intelligence chips are manufactured.
Acquire download knowledge directly through brain-computer interface.
Everyone studied hard at the beginning, but you studied a few hours more every day than me.
But the emergence of embedded brain chips has made learning knowledge a very easy thing.
Everyone has experienced learning a new thing.
The pain of learning various basic knowledge.
For example, when I was a child, I recited the multiplication tables.
Just learned it by heart.
But if there is an embedded brain chip.
It can be directly implanted into the brain to provide all kinds of knowledge you need.
The chip has already been downloaded into your mind.
Whatever knowledge you need can be recalled from the chip in your mind at any time.
Directly transformed into your knowledge.
While others are still memorizing things by rote, you have already passed the chip in your mind.
Have direct access to the most cutting-edge knowledge.
How does this compare?
Some people say that this is the emergence of technological singularity.
Because the emergence of brain chips has directly liberated everyone’s process of learning knowledge.
Later it evolved to what kind of modules you need.
Can be obtained by paying directly.
For example, you need to participate in a certain basketball game in school.
Then you can directly download the experience template of a certain basketball star.
Get other people’s technology directly.
It just takes a little getting used to.
The birth of brain chips has directly disrupted many jobs that require the accumulation of knowledge and experience.
For example, if you load the template of a world-famous doctor, you can fully receive the other person's knowledge.
Someone said. Damn it, isn’t this the system?
Directly load all the experience of a leader in a certain field.
If you are a genius, you can use the experience and trial and error of the big guys.
Continue to study directly from the results of the big brother's research.
This is one of the reasons why technology developed so quickly later.
Because of the accumulation of knowledge, the time of repeated repetitions is omitted.
Just like our natural newborn baby now.
From birth to cultivation to the point where it is suitable for scientific and technological research.
They all need to be trained to at least a Ph.D.
This often takes about 28 to 30 years.
Only some research after becoming a Ph.D. can be called a technological breakthrough.
The previous thirty years were all about clarifying the accumulation of predecessors.
Learn from scratch.
Need to go through a painful experience.
But now there is no need at all, as long as you have a chip implanted in your brain.
You can directly obtain all the experiences of others, as well as the knowledge you need.
You may be thinking, doesn’t this mean I can load up all the career templates I want in my head?
There is no need to take the exam to drive a car, and there is no need to take the exam to get a license for lawyers.
Because of the existence of the brain chip, everyone can do this easily.
People with chips implanted in their brains, and ordinary natural people.
It almost turned into two species.
They sensed that this was another evolution.
This is the birth of the technological singularity.
Just like the emergence of computers and smartphones.
The same goes for brain chip implants.
But this is a technology at the beginning.
Just so that those patients suffering from Alzheimer's can return to normal.
In addition, the brain chip can be used as a brain plug-in processor.
You can link to the mechanical prosthetics installed in your body.
Let you better handle and use mechanical prosthetics.
In this way, technology slowly began to accumulate and iterate.
The day has finally come when humans can upload their consciousness.
You can package your memories into data and upload them directly to the cloud.
Because of the emergence of brain chips, some rare career templates and experience knowledge.
They directly upload their knowledge and experience.
Just like the Internet now.
You can directly see many online courses taught by teachers from famous schools online.
But not everyone is willing to contribute their experience and knowledge for free.
They package their templates into merchandise.
If anyone needs to download, that person needs to pay.
In fact, it is just like the current payment for knowledge.
It’s just that we have omitted the learning process.
In fact, by the time we got here, we almost had the technology to upload consciousness.
It was only later that it began to be gradually improved.
The first person with reincarnated consciousness appears.
A completely silicon-based life form composed entirely of mechanical prosthetics, with even the brain made of chips, appeared.
The body does not contain any natural human parts.
Create a completely mechanical body, and then input your consciousness and all memories into it.
Is this reborn mechanical body still the same you?
You in the mechanical body have all your memories.
And because it is not limited to the biological brain, more brain chips can be loaded.
These "human beings" reincarnated into silicon-based life forms have even more terrifying properties and abilities.
They gained the ability to live almost forever.
Because as long as the data is not lost, then they have uploaded the consciousness of the person.
Can be downloaded into the mechanical body unlimited times.
After hearing all this, Ye Zhen didn’t know why.
I always feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity. (End of this chapter)
