Another Life: Elf Archer

"This is impossible!" the person asserted, crossing his arms tightly with his hands.

The person who came here was called Albert, and he and Simiel - who was still called Hughes at the time - had collaborated for a long time on an experimental project on consciousness uploading.

The original and final purpose of the consciousness uploading project is only one: to allow human beings to live forever.

Abandon the fragile organic biochemical structure, give human consciousness to a harder, more durable inorganic body, and pass it on to achieve immortality and immortality at the level of consciousness.

This project can also provide a more feasible future for human exploration of the universe and its limits.

Once consciousness uploading is truly realized, the damage caused to the fragile human body during space navigation can be completely forgotten, and there will no longer be the need to provide additional resources and other facilities to maintain life activity, and it can be guaranteed that everyone can survive The voyage time is so long that it can be measured in ten thousand years.

Therefore, not only was this project heavily invested, but it also received some privileges in various aspects, such as being allowed to conduct experiments on living subjects to a certain extent.

They are said to be alive, but in fact they are half-dead and people who are about to die.

Human consciousness can only be transmitted synchronously, and it can also be retained as data, but it cannot be copied perfectly to make these copied data "alive".

This is the only confirmed research result in this field for many years.

Therefore, a major problem in consciousness uploading is how to solve the problem of allowing consciousness to continue to exist after the death of the human body.

In other words, as long as this problem is solved, everyone can successfully abandon his body and brain, no longer use heartbeat as the standard of living, but exist purely as a data consciousness.

The breakthrough that the two Alberts finally discovered was a person's near-death experience.

Many people in this world have had near-death experiences.

This process of "resurrection from the dead" perfectly embodies the process of the person's consciousness from briefly leaving the body to returning. However, the person's returned consciousness will not fundamentally change, and the person is still the same person.

how did you do that?

Can this process be controlled manually?

Can consciousness that is temporarily separated from the body return to other bodies?Is it possible to return to the inorganic?

How does this consciousness that is temporarily separated from the body retain all its original memories and characteristics?

Albert and Simil observed the consciousness data of many people who were dying, and also witnessed the changes in consciousness data of many people when they died. They also looked forward to the death moments of many people, so that they could intercept the consciousness of these people. .

But unfortunately, all attempts failed.

Occasionally, the consciousness of some people does not dissipate immediately after death, but is recovered after being intercepted. However, these recovered consciousness data all have varying degrees of memory loss, and they slowly lose their independent consciousness as a person. Gradually, it turns into cold data, but these data will show some more vivid forms of expression due to the memory of the original owner.

Finally, Albert and Simil had to admit the existence of the somewhat mysterious power of "willpower".

Perhaps it is not that mysterious, but is somewhat similar to the observer effect in quantum mechanics.

Now that it has been determined that there is quantum-level activity in human neurons, it is also very possible that "the act of observation will have a certain impact on the object being observed."

In this case, the observer is the person himself, and the object being observed is the person's own death.

It is precisely because everyone has an innate understanding of death, and also has an understanding of their own death at the moment when breathing stops, so consciousness will follow this understanding and choose to let itself perish?

So the way to intercept a person's consciousness in front of death is to let the person die before he is aware of his own death?

It sounds a bit simple, but in practice, it made these two elites turn their hair gray.

Even if it is an accident or accident, it is difficult for a person's death not to be realized by oneself, especially the existence of the subconscious makes it more difficult to confirm this conjecture.

And precisely because of the unpredictability of the accident, they were unable to prepare equipment to preserve consciousness for the experimental subjects in advance—not to mention the serious legal and ethical issues involved.

Therefore, the existence of Simil is not only an accident, but also a miracle.

And miracles don't happen twice.

So the person Simil wants to check will definitely not be another miracle.

After hearing Albert's inference, Simil smiled faintly:

"Don't you always like to use the words accident or miracle?"

"This is no longer as simple as a small probability event. Do you want me to believe that in just a few years, a safe fell from the sky and the safe turned into a red duck? This happened twice? "

"Anyway, please check it for me! There is a result, which also makes me...at ease."

Simil's voice was a little low, and in Albert's eyes, he looked a little lonely.

"Of course it's not difficult to check, but don't have too much hope."

Albert sighed. As the only "person" in the world who has successfully abandoned his body, Simil fully understood his expectations at this time.

"Furthermore, I think this result is very likely to come from experimental data from a certain laboratory."

Seeing Simil's slightly puzzled expression, Albert pushed up his glasses again:

"This is what happened after you left. We have established some cooperative relationships with other laboratories. After the game was opened, we opened free ports to some scientific research projects and social science research, so that they can use some of their own designs. The data body is put in as a player to conduct some experiments or data analysis.”

"So the character you mentioned, who can't go offline and has no memory, is most likely specially designed by some laboratory."

"Although we have an agreement that these characters cannot be exposed to ordinary players, and we try not to cause trouble in the game, let alone act too special, it is inevitable that some designers will be weird."

Albert said helplessly, it was obvious that he knew something about this kind of weird designer.

When Simil heard this, he also felt that he might have guessed wrong. After all, he really didn't know about this matter, so meeting some special players is not a rare experience?

"How many ports have you opened? Don't forget that this world is very fragile and can easily be affected by the actions of players." Simil raised his eyebrows and dutifully maintained the order in the game.

"Only three will be open at the same time, but who knows if any of them have sneaked in." Speaking of this, Albert also had a headache. "I can't check them one by one, and some data appear once and then never appear again. No, there’s no way to check it.”

Simil shook his head: "You will reap the consequences. Who told you to open this hole in the first place?"

Albert was helpless: "Experiments cost money. This is also the sponsor's suggestion. There must always be a little income. As you know, this game actually doesn't make much money."

"You can solve it yourself, but if I encounter this kind of data in the game, maybe I can cause some accidents?"

"Don't mess around!" Albert waved his hand quickly, "These experimental data are different from those of players. If you die once, the data will be lost. If it is an accident, that's it. If you do something, I will lose the loss. But I can’t afford to compensate.”

"Oh, by the way, you can let that character die once and see if there is any memory loss or abnormal behavior." Albert suggested.

Returning to this topic, Simil shook his head: "If not, he might really die just this time, which would be a pity."

Albert looked at Simil, who had not given up this impossible guess, and asked: "So which character is it that you want me to check for you?"

"The one you met recently is the elf player named Nian Nian, also named ybele."

"Is it her? That little girl is quite interesting." Albert suddenly poked Simir. Of course, this projection would not really poke Simir. "Don't you think you have feelings for that little girl?" What thoughts do you have that make you want others to be like you?"

"Put away your boring thoughts." Simil said angrily, "Anyway, go check it out, slowly and carefully, I'm not in a hurry."

Albert shrugged, nodded and said hello to Simil, then turned into a point of light and disappeared in front of Simil.

"Check slowly, check carefully..." Simil repeated these two sentences gently, then smiled bitterly, raised his feet and walked in the opposite direction where he disappeared every year.

So I'm actually a little afraid of the answer?
