Chapter 3143

"This..."

It took Li Yao a long time to understand Gu Wuxin's meaning.

Indeed, in the human civilization in which Li Yao lives, both the Xingyao Federation and the human Empire have entered the information age. Almost all people are connected with the Internet by using the crystal brain. No matter they work, study or live, they can't do without the Internet in all aspects. Even the "spirit clan" like LV Qingchen was born, trying to connect everyone to the virtual space through the Internet, The birth of a new form of civilization.

Not to mention, Fuxi, the main brain of the covenant alliance, is a kind of jingnao and lingwangchengjing. Like Xiaoming, Wenwen and boxer, Fuxi is a new generation of information life.

So, is Gu Wuxin's so-called "super body" the same as LV Qingchen's, Fu Xi's, Xiao Ming's, Wen Wen's and boxing champion's information concept?

Li Yao doesn't think so. Gu Wuxin and his super body have already touched deeper fields of information life than LV Qingchen, Fu Xi, Xiao Ming, Wen Wen and boxing champion. Maybe that is the essence of life.

"You have to admit that human beings, or all carbon based intelligent life, are information animals. Since the emergence of our oldest ancestors, bacteria and viruses born in the primitive ocean, they exist to replicate, transmit and weave information, devour information, constantly devour more information and output information, It's our instinct and the meaning of our existence to transmit information to a larger population and a wider range. "

Gu Wuxin continued, "in the ancient times when the technology level was backward, the individuals of carbon based intelligent life had to seal themselves and live a monotonous, boring, boring life without information interaction. But this does not mean that they just like this. It's just that their ability to absorb and transmit information was inhibited.

"Once the technological means are mature and the social environment permits, the carbon based intelligent life will immediately transform itself in the direction of informatization, post informatization and super informatization, and also transform the whole world, connecting all individuals closely with various forms of networks.

"They are eager for information and constantly devour information that has no meaning to them, ranging from changes in the universe and national affairs, to star gossip and social news of the next town, to the family and trivial matters around them - in fact, what does this information have to do with their lives and what impact can it have on them? But they just want to know, at the expense of their precious lives.

"Similarly, they constantly upload their information to the Internet, regardless of what they eat, what they wear, how they feel or what problems they encounter in their life and work - no one cares about these, and they know no one cares about them, but they just can't control the impulses engraved in the deepest part of their genes, It's like a never-ending high-power radio station, constantly releasing information, information, information, and using this information to reconstruct a better, more wonderful and more "real" self in the network and virtual world.

"This is what happened to every individual in the early period of the Pangu civilization's entry into the information society.

"Of course, because the Pangu people themselves have the ability of large-scale telepathy, and they pass this ability on to other ethnic groups in the Pangu civilization alliance, the way we build the network and exchange information may be different from you.

"But I believe that the essence is the same. There must be more and more" Internet addicts "and" information Clans "in your civilization. Your society is also slowly developing in the direction of informatization, networking and even virtualization, right?

"Don't answer. I've sensed the answer from your brain waves.

"In fact, what's the difference between reality and illusion? What's the difference between me and others?

"Just now, I said that once I enter the super body chain, I can live in the brains of hundreds of millions of people, and hundreds of millions of people can also pour into my brain to share wisdom, emotion and memory. You seem to be very alert and disgusted, but if you think about it carefully, it's not as exaggerated as you think.

"I don't know if there are similar things in your civilization... In the words of the earth, there are novels, games, movies and so on. So, when you indulge in a beautiful novel, wonderful movie and exciting game, don't you put yourself into the role of the protagonist in novels, movies and games to experience another life? With the continuous upgrading of technology, the network world gradually has all the good things in the real world, and after a hundred times of changes, who will refuse to spend a more brilliant, beautiful and rich life in the network world? After all, compared with our geometric explosion of wisdom and desire, how weak our brain and body are, how lonely and boring our real world is!

"The tide of history is vast. Those who follow it prosper and those who go against it perish. Do you understand that this is an inevitable trend in the evolution of civilization. It is not based on the will of a certain 'hero' or 'devil' -- first, all kinds of large-scale, fixed terminals set up primary networks; Then the terminal becomes miniaturized, mobile and wearable, making the network cover the whole civilization; Next, the terminal will be further miniaturized and can be implanted subcutaneously, becoming an artificial organ that everyone will be born to wear; With the development of biotechnology and quantum technology, brain cells will become biological crystal brain, and crystal brain will also be reduced to mustard seed and cell level, perfectly integrated into flesh and blood, and will not be damaged or scrapped for life.

"At every stage of development, the efficiency of people's information interaction, including the amount of information they consume and output per second, will be hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of times higher than in the past! An ordinary person who lives in the early information age can read more news information in one day through the Internet terminal than his ancestors who lived in the village in the dark and ignorant age thousands of years ago. However, he lives in the late information age, that is, the descendants of the "super information age", and consumes more information in one second, If such a wonderful super information age really comes, wouldn't it be a natural thing for all of them to connect together, share wisdom, emotion and memory, and form a "super body"?

"Of course, I'm sure you'll mention the old-fashioned question of how to keep free will. It's not your fault. It's a question that carbon based intelligent life will inevitably ask under the limitation of stereotyped thinking. When my ancestors decided to build a small super information network and link it into our own super body, they thought about it again and again.

"Don't worry, even if you are chained into the super body, you can still maintain your small, futile and ridiculous independence. As long as you want, you can completely close your super information exchange protocol, cut off contact with others, and drift away from the edge of the super body - there is no compulsive order to prohibit it, but few people will do it."

"Why?"

Li Yao can't help asking.

"Why?"

Gu Wuxin raised his eyebrows, as if his brain waves with strong irony were still not enough to express his surprise. "Isn't it obvious and self-evident that human beings, carbon based intelligent life, are all information animals, and information is our mission and significance. No one can get used to" hundreds of millions of orders of magnitude "of super information interaction, And then back to the low information interaction state of "100000 orders of magnitude" or even "10000 orders of magnitude.".

"Imagine a person who is used to indulging in the Internet world day and night, wears several kinds of information terminals, has numerous accounts in numerous forums, and has experienced countless kinds of life in countless novels, games and movies, and is thrown back to the secluded, backward, dark and ignorant middle ages without Internet and newspapers, There are no books or 10000 wonderful lives. He is faced with the monotonous sky and barren land, as well as the mountains surrounding the village. All year round, his only entertainment is to drink himself with inferior anesthetics. Can he bear such a life? If it is you, cut off the network, no entertainment life, how long can you endure?

"The truth is the same.

"For people living in the" super body era ", they have to read 10000 pieces of information every second, from the supernova explosion millions of light-years away, to the experts and scholars in another world, who have cultivated a new life form, to the beautiful scenery just discovered by explorers on a certain planet... At the same time, They have to express their views and feelings on these 10000 pieces of information, and upload them to the super body to share with all people - information is as indispensable as air and water for them, not to mention back to the ancient times when there was no information interaction at all, that is, back to the early information age, using all kinds of portable terminals, It's unthinkable to "just" process three or five pieces of information every minute. If this kind of "tragedy" really happens, they will either have a mental breakdown or suffocate.

"So, you see, the act of separating yourself from the superbody and maintaining ridiculous independence is tantamount to mental suicide.

"Besides, communication and isolation are two-way. If you want to maintain the independence of spirit and thinking, it means that you can't spy on and share other people's wisdom, emotion and memory. You will become a loner outside the main civilization. After all, people are social animals. It's against nature to do so, and there's no benefit at all!"
