Chapter 950 Ascension! Ascension! Ascension!
After falling into the whale's mouth, the whale jumped and sank. He was very dissatisfied and let out a rare sharp roar.
We didn't agree to move such a heavy thing in advance!
Xiangshan had to use ultrasound to comfort and persuade him.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of another thing.
These whales also have to rely on human chips to obtain intelligence similar to that of humans.
However, the degree is completely different.
Whales rely on chips mainly to fill in the short-term memory capacity, intuitive perception of numbers and calculation ability, which are slightly missing. Before being upgraded, whales also have wisdom, language, and local culture.
The squid's dependence on chips is more comprehensive. Cephalopods have no social tradition. Most cephalopods hunt alone. Squids can act in groups, but they also lack collective hunting behavior like lions and wolves. They can use body color changes to convey simple messages to each other, but the complexity is far weaker than that of whales.
Memory, language ability, communication ability... all of these, the squids are highly dependent on chips.
There is even a saying in the Six Dragons Cult that these squids are essentially "AI with squid wetware", that is, AI is the body, and the squid's body is just the hardware for those AI to obtain data.
However, the two have developed very different cultures.
Whales occasionally doubt that they are AI living in the body of a whale.
But the squids firmly believe that they are squids.
Even if the wild metal-based squids have low intelligence, the escaped squids firmly regard them as their compatriots.
"The birth of culture..." Xiangshan pressed his head.
This is from the Holy Lord...
No, it is the idea from the leader of the Six Dragons Cult.
The big whale took the device away alone, leaving Xiangshan to continue to sink.
Dragging 240 heads.
240 heads plus one piece is even bigger than his current prosthesis.
From a distance, it looked like a monster made of a human head, swimming on the seabed.
Xiangshan's mind was carried away by the obsession of the Six Dragons Cult Master.
The Holy Lord deleted a considerable part of the information of the Six Dragons Cult's high-level officials, and the information was very fragmented.
What Xiangshan could be sure of was that there was also a Xiangshan on Mars, hiding in the dark.
That guy was the Six Dragons Cult Master.
It was the image of Xiangshan in the eyes of the public, and it was Xiangshan's painted skin.
And the Six Dragons Holy Lord actually had only one pursuit.
Ascension.
That's what he called his plan - Ascension.
Specifically, it was to prepare to leave the solar system and become a lone individual in the universe.
However, in order to achieve this goal, all preliminary preparations must be made.
"An industrial system that can be maintained by one person", and "a way to extend the life of an individual indefinitely".
"An industrial system that can be maintained by one person" is easy to say. Because the system that arrived on Earth with "Ogun" is the prototype of this kind of thing.
But the real key lies in the latter.
It is too difficult to extend the life of a living being indefinitely, and the benefits are very low. The Six Dragons Cult disdains it.
The real goal of the Six Dragons Cult is just to "extend life".
Any form of life is fine. They don't care at all.
Whether it is completely abandoning the biological brain and becoming AI, or letting AI obtain biological wetware, in their view, it is all confined to a single form of life.
It can be a human, a machine, an animal...
It can also be a god.
This is the goal of the Six Dragons Cult.
When the life of a living being reaches its limit, it will turn into AI. When AI is tired of being, it will prepare a biological brain for itself.
But this still needs to face huge challenges.
The human mind was not born to deal with this situation.
"Mind", a trait attached to the body of Homo sapiens, was born to allow Homo sapiens to live to adulthood and pass on their genetic information to the next generation. This is the initial state of "mind".
Letting the mind and ignite the fire of civilization has already caused Homo sapiens to show various inadaptability-the so-called "modern disease".
Humans who only have a lifespan of several decades in the natural environment have a hard time adapting to "eternity" in their minds.
The Six Dragons Cult's idea is also very simple, that is, to understand the mind and then change it.
By studying the birth of the mind, the structure of the mind, and finding "alien minds" that are completely different from human minds, we can have a deeper understanding of this topic.
If there is no alien species, then create an alien species.
In addition, this is another insurance for the Six Dragons Cult.
"God" should be able to create individuals with minds when necessary.
The human mind is so narrow that humans cannot correctly understand the reality of this universe. Even after ascending, the ascenders of the Six Dragons Cult still have the risk of falling into "knowledge and view obstacles".
At this time, an external mind is needed as a signpost or compass.
The ascenders must have the ability to actively create minds.
And this is also a necessary skill to avoid "loneliness".
If you are really too lonely, create an intelligent race.
At this point, the "ascenders" have truly become "eternal life".
As long as they have the most common resources in this universe, they have everything.
No more desire, no need for greed. The entire universe will be their playground. And the resources they can occupy and consume per unit time will always be "insignificant" compared to the "universe".
As long as they walk alone, there will be no disputes.
At that time, the "greetings from several light years away" will probably be just pure goodwill.
The Six Dragons Cult Leader does not believe in the "new world" promised by Yawgmoth at all. In his opinion, the "new humans" selected by Yawgmoth are still humans. As long as they live in such a material world, humans will argue.
However, the Six Dragons Cult Leader also feels that Yawgmoth's advantage is too great, and it is impossible to defeat Yawgmoth in the solar system anyway.
Therefore, the only thing he can do is to collect resources and create a group of "ascendants" before the "final holy war".
In his opinion, these "ascendants" are the hope of mankind. They are the representatives of mankind.
And the moment they leave the solar system, the human species will continue to exist in the universe.
As for the solar system, it is no longer saved.
——What a familiar train of thought...
The Twelve Martial Gods sighed to the Six Dragons in the distance.
——"Humanity is hopeless. We must change the human species itself and completely overturn the existing society before the outbreak of World War III"...
——It's really... me...
I'm stuck...
