Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 211

[Chapter 14 Russian Roulette]

After a lapse of many years, Lu Zhenyu was like a preacher again, speaking very impressive words.

Standing in front of the podium in the conference room, Lu Zhenyu supported the podium with both hands.

Behind him is an electronic blackboard built with a huge LCD screen. On the blackboard are stacked various documents, a large number of pictures and videos that are constantly flashing… Only at the core of the Digital Totem R&D Center Only in this area can such luxurious equipment be displayed to Lu Zhenyu, and Lu Zhenyu’s words are worthy of this luxurious occasion.

He said: “The future of mankind is like being placed on a Russian roulette with a bullet…”

Lu Zhenyu cleared his throat and continued: “We have never tried to make a group like ourselves continue to perfect. It was interrupted, and now…obviously we have a lot of methods in our hands.

A lot of…I say… bullets.”

“First of all, the first bullet that was put into this revolver was our…electronic prosthesis. . Although I don’t want to see such a scene, but in fact, on a global scale, we can’t control this kind of thing happening continuously. Since the first batch of external technology authorization, we have actually gradually lost the right to The right to control these things… Of course, a considerable part of them is… er… connivance. Although we try to control, in fact, quite a lot of people choose this relatively mature technology to replace Lose one of your… unsound, or one of the limbs, or even half of the body that is not good enough…. Snipers and security guards. Get a more stable and stronger arm by this second method, faster running speed, and greater stamina. …Others that we know of today who have been modified by electronic prosthetics to gain greater abilities include diamond cutters, precision electricians, and some for stability, for endurance. For power output Types of work with special requirements. In recent years, many people, ordinary people, have used this technology to satisfy their own sense of vanity with a stronger ability. Of course, due to the characteristics of the electronic prosthetic project itself, we can only Adults are specially made and set. However, this modification is in any case only physical properties of the body.”

“The second bullet. It is human cloning technology. … After overcoming various technical difficulties and the technical difficulties of reproducing cloned human beings. After … In fact, although it is impossible to confirm the specific information, the actual There are already clones entering our world now. There are only a few institutions that can carry out this kind of research. Unfortunately, at least until now, our intelligence personnel have not been able to successfully penetrate and obtain accurate information about the clones. , and only a few peripheral clues. After all. In the technical field, it is extremely difficult to train a successful intelligence officer. Not to mention that it is so difficult to make such a technical genius contribute and send intelligence in other people’s experimental institutions. We have weighed the paradox of importance…. However, cloning human beings still needs a long time to grow up. Even though genetic engineering has developed to this point, genetic engineering can still only allow cloned human beings to inherit most of the human beings. It cannot be corrected because of its shortcomings. You know, once the rewriting of the gene fails, then it may be a completely different species. By the way, this kind of attempt to create new species using genetic engineering is also in some countries. It

‘s going on.”

“I don’t know if

it’s appropriate to call the implanted chip technology the third bullet,” Lu Zhenyu said, as if he was struggling with something in his heart, and then said, “If the implanted chip technology is mature, it will be a good one. An effective means of improving the efficiency of human processing of information, but the side effects of this technology are more significant than the improvement of human capabilities that can be obtained by such a technology. … The implantation of foreign bodies in the human brain can cause It is really difficult to predict the reaction of the human body.

For example, the rejection of the human body, various disorders of the body caused by foreign bodies, etc.

Although this is indeed the case now, after a few years, when this technology matures, it will also It is impossible to say that these problems cannot be solved. At least these problems cannot be solved by various means.”

“Radiation-generating chips may be a more dangerous, but more promising technology than implanted chips. It may be appropriate to call this technology a fourth bullet. The changes caused are not only to generate a chip for auxiliary processing in the brain, but also to changes in muscle tissue and bone tissue. Strictly speaking, the radiation generation chip is quite advanced for the application of radiation. For radiation Yes, to be honest, the research in our R&D center is very shallow. As for the technology of precise focusing of radiant energy, we can only speculate from the technical system we know now and the progress of our country in this regard… This It’s quite difficult. If you can master precise focus control, and master the effect of radiation energy on human tissue, then this technology system may be the closest to producing powerful warriors like monsters that we can see in movies… Technology. And the problem with this technology is that if you accept this technology, basically a person’s life will come to an end. Even if the radiation does not kill a person on the operating table, basically, he will not survive for long. As for how long it can survive… It can only be said that the elasticity is very large.”

“As far as the technology we know now, the theory of neural computing may be the latest in all these technologies and the fastest in progress. Although the theory of neural computing is basically an auxiliary means to improve the human brain’s ability to respond to the outside world, etc., it does not substantially improve the physical characteristics of the human body itself, but I personally think that if it wants to use these in the future. When technology is used in the human body, at least the neural computing theory is the least harmful to the human body, and it is also the most promising. Although we cannot improve the output power and response speed of the human body through this technical system of the neural computing theory, however, by using the neural computing theory in the body In fact, we can optimize the human body’s ability to sense the outside world…”

Lu Zhenyu put the control panel that he used to remotely control the entire digital blackboard system on the podium, and said very seriously: “I repeat. What we are talking about here today are only some technologies that may be applied to the human body in the future. , some, may be developed with the starting point of making human beings more perfect, but they are bound to be misunderstood, exploited, distorted technology… As far as I am concerned. Although the situation is not within my control , but I sincerely hope that these technologies will never become a fad, or a standard. … So, I use this somewhat sensational metaphor, a revolver with a bullet to make a big gamble on the future of mankind , and. For now. I can’t say if that last bullet exists or if we’ll eventually fill a pistol and still be able, in the end, to achieve what humanity calls… perfection in the way I’ve done humanity itself. ”

Lu Xuan has to admit that the “educator” in the series of titles on his father’s head is

not just because he invested heavily in building the entire independence and country from kindergarten to university in the name of “unicorn”. Although the education system is not recognized by the State Education Commission, it is only an independent education system that is not recognized by the State Education Commission, but because Lu Zhenyu’s free play in this very classroom-like environment is very convincing and extremely powerful. Has the air of a professor.

So much so, after Lu Zhenyu waved his hand to indicate that he had finished speaking.

Lu Xuan, who had accumulated a lot of questions, raised his hand to ask questions involuntarily… Then, Lu? tugged at his sleeve with a very slight movement, which made him realize how interesting this move was.

Lu Zhenyu shook his head and said, “If you are interested, there are nearly 10,000 pages of various materials for you to read. I said, about these issues. I will continue my research here, but I will not ask anything else. Do what you like… Of course, this also means that you can’t get any investigative resources from me.”

Lu Xuan still asked: “You didn’t say that you don’t want to see any kind of technology being applied to human beings. What’s the point of continuing your research on neural computation theory?”

Lu Zhenyu scratched his head and said, “I think, apart from being a businessman, I can still be called a scientist. Generally speaking, scientists have several needs: first, the curiosity of scientists, and second, the needs of scientists. Responsibility, three, the ambition of a scientist… I think, I have enough money, with your mother to accompany me, and the two of you, in the near future, there will be another child, my ambition, you know Yes, I have already been satisfied. I have already accomplished what I want to accomplish, and for the rest, I don’t think the sense of mission has much to do with me. I don’t have the kind of idea that I want to accomplish something. , the rest is probably just curiosity. …

Are you satisfied with my statement? ”

Lu Xuan didn’t question his father very much. In his opinion, although these speculations about the future of mankind and the current situation These technologies made him a little worried, but since Lu Zhenyu said that he was against the popularization of these technologies, then Lu Zhenyu’s statement was completely trustworthy.

Although Lu Zhenyu has a bad habit of taking deception as fun, Lu Zhenyu is never joking when it comes to technical issues and these very serious applications.

When Lu Xuan left the R&D center with his father and sister, he had a high-density CD in his pocket. This format of CD is only circulated inside the digital totem and can only be opened on a specific computer. Every time you browse the content, you have to re-enter the user permission password. It can be said that as a means of internal data circulation, this method is quite safe.

However, in any case, Lu Xuan felt safe again after their party and Lin Er, Yue Yu, Qing Qing, A Xiang and Zheng Shiwen.

After returning to Dongshanbao to get together with his mother on Sunday, Lu Xuan could only rush back to Shanghai again and then take the evening flight back to Tokyo.

He can’t miss his usual class or anything.

At the same time, Lu will have to go to Europe to prepare for the next race.

It will not be until the month, the Shanghai Railway Station, that Lu Xuan and Lu? can return to Shanghai to meet their family again.

And Lu Xuan had just arrived in Japan, and before she even had time to throw her luggage at home, Yeshan Ling’s phone number came after him.

The sick secretary who was replaced by Linden, and the members of the secretary team who were likely to take over the job of the original secretary if Linden did not appear according to the company’s internal regulations, both disappeared.

At the same time, among the middle-level employees who seemed to be confused and applied to return to the digital totem, two suddenly died in public.

One is in a subway station and the other is in a cafe.

A series of events happened in just a few hours. Due to the strong taste of conspiracy, the police and the Japanese Self-Defense Force Intelligence Department have sent a strong lineup to protect the Japanese branch of Digital Totem.

However, since these things are so bizarre, it is still necessary to figure out why exactly this happened as soon as possible.

And Hayama Aya, who had already entrusted the investigation to “Ya Shan Xuan”, learned that he had finally returned to Tokyo, and naturally asked him to help immediately.

Aya Hayama does not take long to deal with such incidents of dead people.

Gen, at the age of a high school student, wearing the badges of the special assistant to the president of the digital totem Japan branch and the special affairs investigator, entered the sight of the officers of the police and the intelligence department of the Self-Defense Forces, Most people are skeptical of his abilities.

However, the humility of the security staff at the headquarters of the Digital Totem headquarters and their absolute obedience to Ye Shanxuan’s instructions, which were subsequently sent from Shanghai by business jets, seemed to strengthen everyone’s confidence.

After Ye Shanxuan rushed to the so-called “incident response headquarters”, he actually only did two things. One was to request a very careful autopsy and pathological analysis of the deceased, and the other was to consult the internal companies owned by the two missing persons. Archives and records of their recent movements. These records of activities include the first consumption of each of them, the place, time, and purchases of these consumptions, as well as records of their business trips, entry and exit, and so on.

Originally, as a member of the Digital Totem Company, this information was not easy to obtain. However, under the current situation, the officials of the Intelligence Department of the Self-Defense Forces who came to supervise the protection of the important personnel of the Digital Totem Japan Company fully cooperated.

In this series of contacts, Hayama Xuan’s calm attitude and his strict grammar standards, pure and peaceful Japanese with a Tokyo accent, and even some Hayama Aya’s vocabulary habits, these are completely Dispelled the initial doubts about Ye Shanxuan’s identity.
