I walk in the past, continue the future

Li Zhengchu raised his head, a moment of astonishment flashed in his originally dead eyes.

But then, the light reappeared in his eyes, like a person in a deep quagmire grabbing the last straw.

"what?"

Xia Lian told his plan.

"But now there is a problem. I don't know if that machine is feasible, so I need to transmit the consciousness of a few people to try it out."

Li Zhengchu was silent for a moment, then he said, "Then upload my consciousness?"

Xia Lian watched him quietly, "Are you sure? I have never tried this technology, so there may be some unknown problems, and these problems are irreversible now."

Li Zhengchu nodded seriously: "I won't find other people to sacrifice for this, this is my duty."

Xia Lian nodded, "I understand."

Mingxin asked himself, Xia Lian himself could not face the sacrifice so calmly, but this did not prevent him from respecting people with this spirit.

Human nature is very complicated. Everyone has what they think is important. Some people are wealth, while others are life. It has nothing to do with right or wrong.

From a practical point of view, if human beings want to continue, and if a country wants to be prosperous and strong, it needs people with the spirit of sacrifice.

It does not need to be promoted, but everyone who shares this spirit should be respected.

Xia Lian didn't talk nonsense. He seized the time and brought Li Zhengchu onto the spaceship. To save time, they teleported back to the time and space of the research base and began to upload his consciousness.

Li Zhengchu was sitting on a chair wearing an iron hat made of micro-nano particles, connected with many circuits, and beside him was the Rubik's Cube, the central center for uploading consciousness. He was quietly watching Xia Lian.

Xia Lian put his hand on the transmission button, and said jokingly: "Now there is still a chance to regret it."

"I never regret it." Li Zhengchu said.

A gleam flashed in Xia Lian's eyes, "Then, see you in another world, good luck."

With that said, he pressed the button in his hand.

Under the excitation of a special energy wave, Li Zhengchu, who was sitting on the chair, lost consciousness in an instant. At this moment, his body is still active, but he is already in a state of brain death.

Xia Lian quickly looked at Quicksilver, who was using micro-nano-linked computers, "What's the matter?"

"There is indeed a string of additional data in the center, which is currently being analyzed. Technically speaking, the memory and thoughts have been uploaded successfully, but you still need to go in and see if the consciousness has been uploaded." Mercury said.

Xia Lian nodded, and he sat on the chair on the other side, connected the circuit formed by micronanotrons in his hand, and entered the virtual world through neural integration technology.

It is different from consciousness uploading technology, it is only connected to this computer, it is just a virtual reality technology.

Soon, Xia Lian came to an unknown world full of 0 and 1 data streams.

In front of him, Li Zhengchu, who was made up of data, had his eyes tightly closed.

Soon, he slowly opened his eyes and saw Xia Lian in front of him. The initial confusion in his eyes gradually faded as the memory was read.

"How do you feel?" Xia Lian asked.

Li Zhengchu nodded, "It's better than ever. I feel that I have lost a lot of constraints, and it seems that I can do anything."

He raised his hand, and a model earth was flowing in his hand with the combination of data.

Seeing that Li Zhengchu was in good condition, without any sluggishness or unresponsiveness, Xia Lian knew that the upload of his consciousness should have been successful.

After a pause, he continued: "Mercury has given you part of the virtual world authority, and in this place, it is no exaggeration for you to be called a god.

She is now trying to upload all the data that humans have observed so far, and build a world, you can help here.

After successfully constructing a virtual community "Earth" that is enough for more than 100 billion spiritual bodies to live, we will go to bring your compatriots into this world. "

"It's our compatriots." Li Zhengchu said.

Xia Lian smiled, "Yes, they are our compatriots."

"I have a request." Li Zhengchu said, "Can you, when uploading the memory, delete all their memories about aliens in the past few years, and return all the time nodes to the time when nothing happened? a moment."

Xia Lian quickly figured out what Li Zhengchu was thinking, "You don't want them to know that you are in a virtual world?"

"I don't know what people in your era thought, but there are still people in this era who cannot truly accept themselves as such data beings." Li Zhengchu said, "There will be many visible contradictions and conflicts.

Between concealment and non-concealment, choosing the former is beneficial and harmless. "

After a pause, it seemed that it was not appropriate, and continued to add, "I hope that the memory of this disaster will not be completely deleted, and I can keep a backup.

When the right time comes, when they can accept all this, I think they should also have the right to know all this. "

Li Zhengchu raised his head, "Is it feasible? Or, your technology is not yet able to perfectly simulate the real world?"

Xia Lian nodded, "It should be possible, the current virtual reality technology is very advanced, and all five senses can be simulated.

The biggest gap between the virtual world and the real world is that humans cannot question, update and challenge existing knowledge in the virtual world.

But we are more than 1 years ahead of you, and you can question and update science within the scope of our cognition.

The only possibility of being discovered is that some of you are idle and finish calculating pi.

But that is when the computing power of this computer has not been upgraded.

Oh, yes, there is also the question of longevity. "

Xia Lian murmured softly.

"What about the continuation of human genes? In the virtual world, human beings can live forever, but they cannot have children."

Li Zhengchu fell silent.

Afterwards, Xia Lian suggested, "How about introducing the concept of reincarnation?"

"what do you mean"

"In the virtual world, it is assumed that human beings will grow old and die, and when they die, their memories will be erased, and then their consciousness will be put into newborn babies.

Or, directly add some artificial intelligence among human beings, and the thinking of artificial intelligence can already be similar to that of human beings. "

Li Zhengchu fell silent, "Isn't it appropriate for us to deprive them of their lives like this without their consent?"

"It depends on your choice." Xia Lian said, "You are their leader and represent their will."

"But you have to understand that if it weren't for us, they would have died with all life on the surface at this moment.

All the extra time now is earned.

If you want to tell a lie, you need to use countless lies to complete the lie, which is inevitable. "

After a pause, Xia Lian continued.

"For you, whether you tell them the truth or deceive them, there are reasons and there is no right or wrong.

I probably wouldn't feel much better knowing that the place I live in is a man-made "box".

Immortality is actually not a good thing. You have lived in the long river of history for thousands of years, so you should have some insights, right? "

Li Zhengchu nodded, "Human life is limited, and because of this, people will think about how to live a limited life more meaningfully.

But life is meaningless, and the process of pursuing "meaning of life" itself is a meaning.

And if people gain eternal life, they no longer need to pursue the "meaning of living".

People lose their purpose because whatever they pursue is meaningless in the face of time.

Long hours to master everything and try every opportunity.

But when all things and all opportunities have been tried, there will be nothing left for people, and life will only become suffering. "

"Eternal life may be feasible, but eternal life will only be a curse." Li Zhengchu raised his head, "I understand, bring them in, and let me arrange everything."

Xia Lian smiled, "Yes, as you wish."
