Chapter 2860 The Sum of Civilizations!

"I don't understand you."

Lu Qingchen said calmly, "I just vaguely think you are crazy."

"Why don't you understand that your 'Ethereal Project' is also leading human civilization to take a big step towards comprehensive informatization? It is precisely because you are not against 'comprehensive informatization' that I am willing to waste precious Time and computing power, to enlighten you."

Fuxi said earnestly, "As an individual, a person is always going to die. No matter how brilliant his life is, how powerful he has cultivated, and how many people remember him, he will eventually die, and all his great achievements will eventually be wiped out. ?"

"right."

Lu Qingchen nodded, "So what?"

"However, if we can completely record all the information of this person's life, including his various light and shadow data, his brain waves and physiological parameter scans, his diary, all chat records between him and others, others' comments on All his evaluations... In short, if all the data about him are extracted and stored, it is possible to recreate him in the virtual space, 100% the same him, even the relatives he gets along with day and night, can't see the flaws, so You have changed a lot of tricks, right?

"As long as the crystal brain that maintains this virtual space is not damaged, or the crystal brain is damaged, it doesn't matter. The most critical information storage chip still exists, and if it is copied countless times, it means that all the information of this person can be preserved until the day when the universe is destroyed. , does it mean that this person has obtained eternal life?"

Lu Qingchen was dumbfounded.

Of course Li Yao was also dumbfounded.

"This... what kind of 'eternal life' is this? What is saved in the virtual space is not the person himself at all, but his information!"

Lu Qingchen said, "This message has no thoughts, no ego, no consciousness, it is even worse than ghosts, it is just the shadow of ghosts!"

"The gene itself is information. Is the information engraved in the flesh and blood necessarily higher than the information engraved in the chip? As the leader of the 'Ethereal Project', you shouldn't still have such stupid prejudices, right?"

Fuxi continued to speak calmly, "As for consciousness and self, who can say clearly? From the perspective of civilization and the universe, individual consciousness, emotion and self are not important, just like from the standpoint of human beings. Scales, cells and bacteria feel also don't make any sense.

"Information, we only need to extract all the information of a person and store it in the virtual space for a long time, which is equivalent to giving this person eternal life.

"And from ancient times to the present, tens of thousands of people, regardless of the shady makers, the Pangu tribe, the Nuwa tribe, the Hongchao Legion, or the individuals of human civilization, all the individual information is extracted and stored, and perfectly preserved in my core database. , This is the immortality of civilization, this is the ultimate salvation!

"Now, you should understand why I said that I am not human, and even the word 'intelligent life' greatly restricts my connotation?

"That's right, I am not a human being, but an aggregate of all the information of thousands of intelligent beings throughout the ages. My database stores the key information of countless powerful beings from Pangu civilization to human civilization. I am a living I am the past, I am also the present, and I am the future, I am omnipresent, all-encompassing, and I am human civilization!"

Fuxi's words were like a storm mixed with thunder, raging on the spiritual level of Li Yao and Lu Qingchen, ravaging their spiritual defenses, and severely trampling on their three views.

Both of them felt that their three views were somewhat distorted and broken.

"You, what do you mean?"

Lu Qingchen had a hellish expression, and said in disbelief, "What are you? Are you a human civilization? Then what are we!"

"As I said just now, you are paper and pen and ink."

Fuxi said lightly, "For example, the shady makers are knotted ropes and tortoise shells, the Pangu civilization is bamboo slips and carving knives, the past human civilization is paper and pen and ink, and the 'informationized human civilization' you want to create is keyboards and crystals." brain, then I am poetry, the immortal poems you write with knotted ropes, tortoise shells, bamboo slips, carving knives, paper, pen and ink, keyboards and crystal brains.

"Now, do you understand?

"The knotted rope will rot, the tortoise shell will be shattered, and the bamboo slips, carving knives, paper, pen and ink, keyboard and crystal brain will be eliminated and annihilated, but my poem has been completed, and neither the thunder nor the roar of gods and demons can detract from it.

"I am civilization, not only human civilization, but also Pangu civilization, the civilization of the shady makers, the civilization that has been condensed by all the intelligent beings that have lived in this sea of ​​stars in the past tens of billions of years, and the brilliant co-authored by generations of civilizations." Psalms!

"Any civilization, even a civilization as strong as the shady makers, can move mountains and seas, change the world, and refine the entire planet into a starry sky battle castle, but it can't stand the erosion of time. The torrent of time measured in tens of billions of years will eventually All the traces left by them changing the universe will be washed away.

"Therefore, it is meaningless to be obsessed with preserving specific and individual civilizations, let alone protecting any small, humble, and chaotic individual in this civilization.

"And as long as I can keep all the information about the shady makers, recreate a shady makers' civilization in the virtual space, and as long as my storage and computing systems don't crash, annihilate, or even replicate infinitely, I'll re-endow the shady The civilization of the creators gave life to all the efforts they made to survive in the past, and regained meaning.

"The same is true for Pangu civilization and human civilization. Your individuals will eventually decay and annihilate, but you will inevitably be reborn in my records and chanting, not only in the virtual world forever, even, if you have Interesting, even after hundreds of millions of years, I can use your genetic information to recreate some human beings, and reproduce your civilization in the material world.

"Tell me, if this is not 'eternal', what other way of preserving civilization can be considered 'eternal'?"

Lu Qingchen and Li Yao, coincidentally, shuddered deeply in the sense of spirit and soul.

"Can you understand it this way—"

Lu Qingchen thought about it for a long time, and asked carefully, "You try to make 'specimens' of all civilizations, and then stuff them into the 'museum' in your database, in this way, to 'save civilization' ?”

"I can see the logical trap in your question. You seem to be accusing me of deliberately killing many civilizations and making them into 'specimens'."

Fuxi said confidently, "But in fact, most civilizations will be destroyed by civil wars, or even destroyed by Hongchao Legion and Hongchao. Even if I really collect the corpses of these civilizations and make specimens for long-term preservation, there is What's the problem? In the most common moral law of human civilization, 'death without a whole body' is not a good thing, and I'm just loyal to my mission and doing my best!"

Lu Qingchen had nothing to say.

He is not a soft-hearted moralist, but an unscrupulous careerist. For his own purposes, he can trample all moral laws under his feet and turn them into mud.

Therefore, he was naturally not interested in talking about some passionate truths with Fu Xi like Li Yao did, and severely reprimanded him.

He was only interested in technical possibilities, in those details.

"but--"

Lu Qingchen thought for a while, and said, "It must not be an easy task to collect all the data of a civilization, how can you ensure that you can collect extremely rich data, and create authentic civilizations one by one in the virtual space?" What about your civilization? If your data collection is insufficient, the virtual civilization will be completely different, then it will completely violate your 'first mission', and you will lose the value and meaning of existence!"

"It's not as difficult as you think."

Fuxi did not fall into the trap of Lu Qingchen's words, and said calmly, "Indeed, for primitive civilizations, it is not easy to collect detailed data, but any civilization that develops to the extreme will inevitably embark on informatization and data. If you follow the path of globalization, you will store a large amount of data yourself, and regard these data as the core of civilization.

"For example, when the Pangu civilization fell into the vortex of civil war and was about to collapse completely, no matter the Pangu tribe or the Nuwa tribe, what they first asked the 'Fuxi system' to preserve was not their flesh and blood, but a large amount of information about their social form. , technical level, genetic material, etc., all information.

"You should have heard the name 'Fengshen Tianshu'. It is the vast sea of ​​information that the Pangu and Nuwa tribes hope to preserve. Although most of the information has been lost, it has only been hundreds of thousands of years. , as long as I can collect all the eight volumes of heavenly scriptures, I can perfectly reproduce the grand occasion of Pangu civilization in the virtual space.

"As for human civilization, it has entered the stage of informatization and dataization. Not only are cultivation, military and professional technology fields inseparable from crystal brains and spiritual networks, but even basic necessities of life cannot be separated from crystal brains. Brain and spirit net.

"As soon as a human child is born, countless relatives surround him to take pictures, save and share his image data; there are countless medical magic weapons to scan his physiological parameters and brain waves, and store the data; when he is older, he will He keeps countless chat records with him, and he will leave a private log in a secret space, and even take photos before three meals a day; even if he walks on the street with nothing to do, there are countless monitoring eyes that will record his daily movements. Not to mention that he has some grades, and he will never escape the scanning and recording of the spirit net.

"Look, to this day, the vast majority of human beings will leave their entire lives, their physical and psychological changes, their love and hatred, their honor and disgrace, their relatives and enemies on the spiritual net... I You only need to collect and store these data, you can copy one him, or a million him in the virtual space, and repeat this process hundreds of millions of times, you can get the "summation of all human information", that is, " The Essence of Human Civilization', the most moving poem."
