Absolute Persona [Unlimited]

Understanding "Nirvana" as "rebirth" is influenced by the "Phoenix Nirvana" in literary works.

But the phoenix of nirvana is not the phoenix of ancient Chinese mythical beasts, but the phoenix, Phoenix, a phoenix reborn from ashes after fire in western legend.

Jiang Jian is not sure whether this plan deliberately chose a name that can be understood from two perspectives, or it is just a terrible coincidence.

However, no matter what it is, it cannot conceal the cruelty and bloodiness of this obviously unethical human experiment.

There was silence in the intercom system, only a faint gasp could be heard.

Chen Yandong noticed something was wrong, and when he fed the information back to them, some people in the group dismissed it, thinking that it was the custom of the old village, or a prank played by the isolated villagers on outsiders.

Even when they realized that this weird incident might be related to Fanxing Medicine, they did not expect that the project carried out by Ren Fanxing's laboratory would be so advanced and so creepy.

All the information presented in front of them now far exceeded their expectations.

In the encrypted subsystem named "Nirvana", it shows the entire Nirvana plan from scratch, and every link and step is recorded in detail.

Jiang Jian leaned slightly, ready to browse carefully. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zhong Xun sighing, holding the chair between his brows and turning around, leaning his head on the back of the chair.

"Are you uncomfortable?" He took off one earphone, turned off the microphone, and asked in a low voice.

Zhong Xun said lazily: "It's so dense, I'm tired. Just give me a summary after reading it, and tell me what you want to do next."

"Oh……"

Jiang Jian complied, and took a deep look at the back of Zhong Xun's head.

From the first day I saw him, Zhong Xun seemed to have always been in this state of silently watching, watching the show in style, and then going with the flow.It wasn't negative, but it didn't take the initiative to participate and advance the plot like Chen Xi invited them.

He will not take the initiative to analyze, will not take the initiative to propose, and will not take the lead in making decisions.

He has always been silently participating in his own analysis and making appropriate suggestions. It seems that since they followed Ah Song, Zhong Xun has always followed his actions, as if Jiang Jian is the leader of everything.

Is it his personality requirement?Jiang Jian secretly guessed.

It was the first time for him to act as a character, he hadn't mastered the scale well, and he was not sure about the judging criteria, but Zhong Xun, who refused him at the time, pointed out a way for him: use his mouth to beat the edge.

If Zhong Xun's character design forces him to stand on the sidelines, what if it's none of his business?

Can he just wait for someone to actively push forward, and wait helplessly for things to develop in the established direction?

If so, it will probably be very tiring.

Jiang Jian lowered her eyes, let him lean on lazily, put on the earphones again, and focused on the screen.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was very long in his perception, but the screen time showed less than an hour, and he finally finished reading all the materials.

There is a trance in the spirit.

Without even realizing it, he stretched out his hand and gently tugged at Zhong Xun's cuff.

"finish watching?"

Zhong Xun felt a gentle force, sat up slowly, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Well." Jiang Jian nodded, focusing on one point, "Throwing away all the theoretical and technical aspects, and summarizing the Nirvana plan in the simplest and rude words, it is the storage and transfer of consciousness."

Team Tang: "Damn it."

Zhong Xun raised his eyebrows.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, they saw Ren Fanxing's consciousness revived in Tao Xiaochen.

"In other words, the supernatural phenomenon manifested as rebirth is actually an objective result achieved through technology?"

"It can be said that." Jiang Jian called up a few diagrams in the project plan description, "They developed a technology a long time ago, backing up and storing people's consciousness through some means, and then storing it In another person’s brain. I guess it’s their aid project, the medical examination for the villagers of Qingluan Village, which realized this kind of storage and transfer.”

Jiang Jian is not very clear about where the technological frontier of this world is.

Just looking at the information in this subsystem, it seems that the exploration of brain science has penetrated into a sea that he has never seen before, far beyond his original knowledge framework.

However, Team Tang's reaction immediately made Jiang Jian feel that only a very small number of people would know the truth about how far human beings have stopped in frontier exploration.

"How did you realize the storage?" Team Tang asked in a daze.

"Implanting devices into human brains."

"Can it be done with just a few hours of physical examination?" Tang team pondered for a while, "Hey, look at my brain, I have even succeeded in rebirth, so what's the point of quickly implanting devices in people's brains? Can't do it?"

"This plan is like installing a cloud disk in the brain." Jiang Jian explained, "People's consciousness is continuously backed up and uploaded, and stored in a device in the brain of a villager in Qingluan Village.

"When he died, to be more precise, after his brain died, the uploading process would naturally stop, and his backup consciousness stored in the brains of the villagers of Qingluan Village would be activated and triggered, gradually taking over the new brain through the complex nervous system, and new body."

"Then... where will the consciousness of the original person go?"

Zhong Xun's voice was low, as if he was suppressing something, maybe it was compassion, maybe it was empathy.

Jiang Jian glanced at him and clicked on another report.

"From the perspective of their project progress and monitoring, where they are activated, the consciousness of the two people should coexist, which is a bit similar to the competition of dual personalities, until the strong side completely occupies the weak side.

"Once this struggle for control of the body is over, the loser dies at the conscious level."

Team Tang gasped: "Then why did the people from Qingluan Village all die one after another?"

"Because they are just experimental products before success." Jiang Jian said without emotion, "This kind of direct operation on the central nervous system will probably produce a situation similar to rejection, and maybe it will accelerate brain death?"

Zhong Xun watched quietly, Jiang Jian's calm analysis made him feel a sense of familiarity.

But thinking about Jiang Jian's previous rhetorical question, he tried hard to suppress the urge to recall.

"but……"

Jiang Jian's hand stroked the mouse twice.

"what happened?"

"If time is not limited, I would like to take a closer look at these research reports."

Jiang Jian lowered his voice and leaned closer to Zhong Xun's ear, for fear that Team Tang would hear him.

"I only had time to see the conclusion just now. But they had this kind of research on the neural mechanism ten years ago. I'm curious how it developed..."

Zhong Xun laughed, he suddenly remembered what Jiang Jian said earlier, even if there is more than one solution to this equation in the universe, he still only believes in the scientific solution.

really interesting.

This person not only turned the country experience program into a legal program, but also tried to work part-time on a popular science program.

"Now is not the time to get to the bottom of the theory." He shook his head at Jiang Jian, straightened his sleeves, sat upright, and hung up the earphones, "I have a few questions."

Team Tang: "Are you still alive? I thought you fell asleep on the side."

Zhong Xun: "...the first question, why did Ren Fanxing carry out this plan; the second question, did Ren Fanxing know about it?"

"Old Zhong, are you alright?"

Tang team's voice was a little higher, and there were a few uncontrollable smiles from the team members of the special case team.

"This is a laboratory under Fanxing Pharmaceutical. Even the system is full of Fanxing's logo. How can you say she doesn't know about it? Besides, there are many unrestrained scientific madmen. Last year, the provincial bureau even arrested a person who was conducting experiments on living bodies. Go in, she raises a group of people to study this consciousness cloud disk, do you need a reason? Who doesn’t want to achieve immortality.”

"I don't want to." Jiang Jian suddenly answered coldly.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Cough..." Zhong Xun cleared his throat, and rescued Jiang Jian, "That's right, we have reason to suspect that Ren Fanxing didn't know about it."

On the day Ren Fanxing was reborn, he escaped from Tao Zhijun's house, not knowing the way out of the village, so he ran directly to the back mountain.

Her panic didn't seem fake.

If a person knew that she had accepted such reincarnation technology, would she choose to run away and ask for help as soon as she regained consciousness?Wouldn't it be fun to pretend to be yourself?

"This..." Team Tang hesitated for a moment, "Xiao Jia, pull out He Tan's communication records and check the content between him and Ren Fanxing."

Zhong Xun and Jiang Jian looked at each other, then nodded knowingly.

How to talk about choosing to commit suicide after killing Chen Yandong suddenly became confusing.

As a shareholder of Fanxing Pharmaceuticals, he blocked Chen Yandong's investigation and interview, so he is likely to be an insider of the Nirvana Project. It is even unclear whether he died completely or activated his consciousness stored in Qingluan Village. Know.

After a while, Team Tang's sullen voice came.

There is no evidence that Ren Fanxing and He Tan discussed or communicated about the Nirvana Project.

"No, this kind of thing...is usually discussed in private?"

Jiang Jian was investigating the chat records between He Tan and Ren Fanxing before his death in the sharing system of the special case team. After reading one by one, his eyes suddenly fell on one place.

He Tan: Your birthday is coming soon, I will give you a surprise when you finish your work and go on sale.

Ren Fanxing: Okay, see you at the old place.

"Surprise..." Jiang Jian read silently, "Shouldn't it be about sending her to Qingluan Village?"

"Ren Fanxing's death in a car accident was indeed an accident." Team Tang said, "The Fanxing Group contributed almost half of the GDP of Province X to Province X. The investigation was very careful, and I was afraid it was maliciously designed by someone, but the final investigation results ruled out this speculation. gone."

Zhong Xun took a playful look: "The old place? Are these two really just high school classmates and business partners?"

Jiang Jian transferred Ren Fanxing's personal information, and frowned slightly: "Is Ren Fanxing divorced? Why is she the only one under her account?"

"Wow, old Zhong, you are really a baby who doesn't hear anything outside the window."

Team Tang's exclamation came, followed by gossip from Province X.

"Back then, Ren Fanxing and her husband's separation and reunion, childhood sweethearts chasing his wife's crematorium, a big drama, okay! The whole people of X Province are chasing and eating melons all the time!"

But the fairy love of the proud daughter of heaven did not go according to the script.

It is said that on the day of Ren Fanxing's business trip, her husband Qin Yun did not pick up her son home as promised, causing her son to be in a traffic accident and unconscious.

After Ren Fanxing came back, she was devastated and divorced Qin Yun half a year later.

"Where's the son?"

"Dead, some formalities were handled by my classmates from the police academy."

Zhong Xun suddenly remembered that Ren Fanxing told him that day, my son is about the same age as you.

That sentence should come with a sad premise.

If he was still alive, he would probably be about your age.

Jiang Jian did not stop searching.

He listened to Team Tang's gossip while collecting the information he needed.

While Team Tang was panting, Jiang Jian's cold voice sounded.

"Even after divorce, Qin Yun is still a shareholder of Fanxing Group.

"Qin Yun himself is the executive director of an Internet company called Yunhan Technology. At that time, the private hospital for the physical examination of villagers in Qingluan Village had investment from Yunhan Technology.

"The research and development of consciousness rebirth not only requires the progress of Fanxing Pharmaceuticals in the fields of brain science and neuroscience, but also the storage devices and computing systems implanted in the brain, which cannot be achieved by them alone."

Team Tang's voice trembled a little: "You mean Qin Yun..."

"Yunhan Technology also participated in this experiment." Jiang Jian concluded in a deep voice, "And I suspect that he and He Tan did it without telling Ren Fanxing."

"Go and check Qin Yun's movements immediately!"

Team Tang gave orders without hesitation and without thinking.

Soon someone replied to him: "Captain, Qin Yun flew to City Y last month and hasn't come back yet. Should we contact the local police for assistance..."

Two people in a hotel in City Y: "..."

Suddenly feel a little tired.

Jiang Jian turned her head and suddenly saw a deep shadow under Zhong Xun's eyes.

He frowned slightly: "Do you want to go? Or should I go and you rest here?"

The man who maintained the harmony and stability outside the map was overdrawn at this time, and all the indicators were bright red and flickering frantically.

He lowered his head and rubbed his temples, his voice low.

"No, I'll go with you."

The author has something to say:

The next chapter will be V, and the comments in the first four chapters of Chapter V will continue to give red envelopes~

The following document is the ABO theme "Mark of Rebellion", and there is also a pre-order "Top Secret Companion Reborn as an Enemy" for collection! ! !

By the way, go to the column to collect the author, okay? (*╯3╰)

=========

For the sake of the rigor of the "science fiction" label in this article, I still have to say——

[The experimental content of Fanxing Group in this chapter is purely nonsense and conceived by the author himself without any theoretical basis. 】

The detailed implementation methods such as neuron activity and brain area activation cannot withstand any scrutiny, and we don’t know, so let’s try to think about it.

However, at the end of August 2020, Musk held a press conference to demonstrate the new brain-computer interface equipment and the results of the non-destructive implantation of neuralink into pig brains, which can probably be used as proof of the content of [feasibility of implanting chips in the brain].

The content of this chapter and the subsequent part on consciousness refers to related articles by Christopher Koch, director and chief scientist of the Allen Institute for Brain Science in the United States.According to his point of view, there are currently two mainstream theories of consciousness (1) Global Neural Workspace Theory (GNW Theory), which believes that consciousness originates from a special class of information processing, and (2) Information Integration Theory (IIT Theory), which focuses on the experience itself , thinking that consciousness is an internal causal force possessed by any complex system, and that consciousness cannot be calculated, and is an attribute of the system structure itself.

In any case, the central nervous system is very complex, and it is a long journey for the academic community to truly find the neural mechanism of consciousness.

But I believe that there are countless possibilities in the future.
