Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 286 A Different Future (89 99)

As time goes by, Zhou Ming, who is using the life simulator, has learned more about the simulated world that is now in the 41st century.

Although it has been developed for nearly 2000 years and experienced some hardships in the middle, the technology of this world has undergone nearly 2000 years of development, and it is also very different from the 22nd century when Zhou Ming passed away in the analog world.

This difference is far greater than the technological gap between 2000 AD and the first year of AD.

However, this time the technological development in this simulated world is mainly based on biology and artificial intelligence.

In other areas, the speed of development is much slower than that of these two fields.

In terms of energy utilization, the most energy source used by people today is the energy generated by the principle of fusion.

It's just that the current fusion technology has already developed from hot fusion to cold fusion.

In the 21st century, people's understanding of fusion is still only in thermal fusion.

The so-called thermal fusion means that when hydrogen nuclei are combined into heavier nuclei, a huge amount of energy is released, and then the thermonuclear reaction is confined in a certain area, and it is produced and carried out in a controlled manner according to people's intentions.

Because the fusion reaction is extremely sensitive to temperature, its reaction speed is extremely small at normal temperature. Only under the absolute temperature condition of 1400 million to 1 million degrees Celsius, the reaction speed can be large enough to realize self-sustaining fusion reaction.

As for cold fusion, in the 21st century, at least when Zhou Ming conducted this simulation, it was still an existence that was only in the stage of imagination and hypothesis.

In this scenario, the nuclear fusion reaction carried out at a relatively low temperature, or even at room temperature, is called cold fusion, which is only a conceptual hypothesis for the thermonuclear fusion known to exist in nature ', without any theoretical basis.

Even in the 22nd century when Zhou Ming died in the analog world, this technology is still hypothetical.

But despite this, after 2000, most of human activities are still limited to the solar system with a diameter of 1.9 light-years.

The 1.9 light-years mentioned here include the comet orbit Oort cloud. If only Neptune is used as the boundary of the solar system, then the diameter of the solar system will be smaller than half, only 60 astronomical units, which is about 90 billion A kilometer, a light-year distance.

As for the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, which is only 4.22 light-years away from the solar system, human probes have already arrived there at this time and sent back some information.

It takes more than four years for this information to be received by the earth, so this kind of information transmission is only a unilateral transmission from the probe to human beings, and human beings can no longer control this probe that has flown out of the solar system device.

However, this means that the probe can arrive. It is still impossible for the spaceship that simulates the human technology in the world to reach there.

In fact, I just found out that it has been 2000 years and human beings still have not been able to fly out of the solar system. Whether it is Zhou Ming who is using a life simulator, or Zhou Ming who has been resurrected in the simulated world, it feels a little incredible.

After all, people can achieve eternal life, what else can’t be achieved?

Although space exploration is the opposite, this era has not reached Zhou Ming's expectations, but technologies such as biotechnology and artificial intelligence are still developing very rapidly, not only realizing uploading consciousness, but also realizing physical immortality.

The society in the simulated world now presents an inward-looking development of science and technology. Whether it is artificial intelligence technology or biotechnology, they all make people's culture more and more introverted.

In fact, this sign has already been shown as early as the 21st century.

In today's society, even if people are locked in a room all their lives, they can spend their whole life without any difficulty without going out. You can experience all the scenery in various places in the solar system at home.

Under such circumstances, the motivation for outward development is naturally not that sufficient. Many people have even proposed that the money used to explore worlds outside the solar system should be used to develop inward technology.

……

The time he spent in the simulated world this time was longer than the sum of Zhou Ming's previous simulation experiences from birth to the simulation.

Zhou Ming in the simulated world also learned a lot of new knowledge after adapting to the society of this era.

It's just that the so-called learning in this era is completely different from the learning that Zhou Ming, who is using the life simulator to simulate, understood before starting this simulation.

With the current technology, if you replace your biological human brain with a mechanical human brain, it goes without saying that the so-called learning is just like file transfer in the 21st century.

If you are unwilling to replace your biological brain with a mechanical brain, you can also insert a chip into your brain to transfer a large amount of knowledge accumulated by human beings over thousands of years of development.

Even if you take [-] steps back, if you are unwilling to insert a chip in your mind, you can still transfer some knowledge through the brain-computer interface.

It's just because the human biological brain is still limited after all, so if the chip is not inserted, the knowledge that can be received is not inserted into the chip or directly replaced with a mechanical brain.

"Could it be that the life simulator transmits the knowledge I have spent so many years in the simulated world to myself through this technology? However, I don't have an interface here either? Then how does the life simulator transmit information to me? Could it be Wireless transmission like bluetooth and radio?

But even if it is wireless transmission, there is no source of transmission. Could it be that it really came from my own mind in the simulated world across time and space? "

After learning about these advanced technologies in this era, whether it is Zhou Ming who is using a life simulator, or Zhou Ming whose simulated world has been revived, the first thing that comes to mind in their minds is the life simulator.

In the end, Zhou Ming in the simulated world chose neither to change the mechanical brain nor insert a chip in his mind, but to "learn" these new knowledge directly through the brain-computer interface.

As for uploading the consciousness into the virtual world, if you want to act in the real world, you only need to transfer the consciousness to a mechanical carrier without autonomous consciousness.

Because although Zhou Ming in the simulation world has experienced many simulations, the future in those simulations is at most more than 100 years in the future.

But now, it is the future after 2000. Many of Zhou Ming's ideas in the simulated world are still a bit old-fashioned for people who are now more than 2000 years later.

Therefore, Zhou Ming cannot accept the practice of uploading his consciousness for a while.

In fact, Zhou Ming in the simulated world also asked about the existence of consciousness uploading, that is, since human consciousness can really be uploaded, then this shows that human consciousness can also be copied.

If someone duplicates a person's consciousness into two copies, which of the two is the original person?
For the problem raised by Zhou Ming in the simulated world, the solution of this era is as follows.

First of all, this kind of practice is illegal in today's society. Once discovered, those who do this will definitely be punished.

If it is done by oneself, then the consciousness they copied will be fused first, and then punished.

Anyway, no matter what kind of thing it is, it’s okay if it’s just in the imagination, if it really happens in the real world, then there must be corresponding countermeasures, the biggest difference lies in the difference in countermeasures.

Even doing nothing is a coping measure.

In addition, through the subsequent simulation, Zhou Ming, who was using the life simulator, finally knew what the coincidence in the simulated world was when he was 33 years old.

It turned out that in this simulated world, after losing the life simulator, there was no pressure from the tasks issued by the life simulator.

Therefore, Zhou Ming in the simulated world did not spend all his energy on the [Mechanical Heart] task that had been completed for a little while, like Zhou Ming who was using the life simulator.

After diverting energy to other fields, I thought that the artificial intelligence with human emotions and autonomous consciousness would make slow progress.

But what Zhou Ming in the simulated world did not expect was that this time there were some similar accidents in the simulated world when he used the life simulator before, which made this accident with autonomous consciousness and human emotions appeared in this world.

And the rapid development of science and technology in this world has a lot to do with this unique artificial intelligence. It is because of its existence that the future knowledge in Zhou Ming's mind in the simulated world can be completed in an orderly and accelerated manner.

This time, Zhou Ming in the simulated world not only learned the grand unified theory and controllable nuclear fusion technology through the current special "learning" method, but also learned more future knowledge.

Although the knowledge of this world can already be "learned" through this special way of transmission, not everyone can "learn" without restriction, or "download" any knowledge.

In this society, everyone has no childhood. After they are born in the artificial womb, they will grow up quickly through the technology of accelerated cultivation, and at the same time, they will be transferred with some basic knowledge.

And the most important point is that every person in this world has a basic contribution degree as soon as they are born.

After that, if you want to download this knowledge again, you need to spend contribution points.

There are many ways to earn contribution points. Different positions and different things provide different contribution points.

Although this knowledge is the so-called basic knowledge, it is very high-tech knowledge for Zhou Ming who is using the life simulator, or for Zhou Ming who has been resurrected in the simulated world.

In fact, this is equivalent to solving all your learning experiences in kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and university through this special "learning" method.

What you have to do afterwards is either use this knowledge to create new knowledge, or take up some other positions to obtain a certain degree of contribution.

But in this world, the contribution of fixed positions is the least, and only creation is the best way to obtain a large amount of contribution.

Contributions can do a lot of things. If you want to upload your consciousness to the Internet world that spreads across the entire solar system, you don't need to spend contribution.

However, if you want to experience the real world for yourself after uploading your consciousness, if you want to upload your consciousness to an artificial intelligence robot without autonomous consciousness, you will need to spend contribution points.

In addition, there are still many places where contribution points can be used.

For example, if you want to finish a new game that is set to be paid in the virtual world, or if you want to visit other planets in person, or if you want to "learn" other knowledge, these all need to be spent. Contribution.

Moreover, if you want to replace your brain with a mechanical brain, you also need to spend contribution points.

Because once you replace your brain with a mechanical brain, you are actually a robot with a biological body and human consciousness.

After you have a mechanical brain, you can exchange your consciousness back and forth between the online world and the mechanical brain at will.

As for inserting a chip in the brain, there is no need to charge contribution points, because humans in this era will be inserted with a chip almost as soon as they are born.

Only those very few viviparous humans need to collect contribution points if they want to insert chips in their minds.

Of course, this system has special treatment for those ancient frozen people, and they do not need to spend money.

However, since the birth of new intelligent life has been restricted now, such people no longer exist.

Zhou Ming in the simulated world was also given a certain amount of contribution points after he was thawed and revived, but if he wanted to get more contribution points, he had to work to earn them.

……

After the long simulation ended, Zhou Ming returned to the real world from the simulated world, but he didn't feel as if he had passed away.

But at this time, Zhou Ming really didn't have the time to think about these things. After returning to the real world, he quickly asked the life simulator: "I haven't died yet in the simulated world? Why is this simulation over?"

"Because the future of that world has opened the barrier, we can no longer spy on it." The life simulator replied to Zhou Ming.

"barrier?"

Faced with the reply given by the life simulator, Zhou Ming was confused. He couldn't understand what the barrier the life simulator mentioned was.

"When you end, the time particle was discovered in that world.

Once time particles are discovered, it will be a matter of time before this technology develops the ability to travel back in time.

And once they develop the ability to go back in time in the future, they can use time particles to view what happened in the past, and the barrier can only be deployed from the moment the time particles are discovered.

After the barrier is unfolded, the observer will be discovered. In order to prevent you from being discovered by the future people of that world, all subsequent simulations will end that simulation before the time particle is discovered and the barrier is unfolded. "

The life simulator replied to Zhou Ming.
