Chapter 1188 Life Is Not About Length but About Meaning
The pressure on biological researchers in the West, especially in the United States, is very, very high. Just relying on this thing in front of you can indeed improve some transplantation technologies. After all, more in-depth cell research will be beneficial to the entire organism and the medical system.
But if you insist that you can grow your own organs based on the current information, and the organs must be non-rejection, that is too much.
If he had such a brain, wouldn't he have entered the stage of animal experiments long ago? Furthermore, the prerequisite for Changtian Technology to engage in organ transplantation is to combine bacterial colonies and have the normal functioning of Eastern and Western organs.
In short, this is a systematic project, and all aspects must meet the standards. However, in the West, none of the standards are met, and the gap is even very far. Of course, scientific researchers would not dare to say this.
At this time, inside the Changzezhou headquarters, Qu Ping and Chen Xiao were looking at the latest experimental progress.
"The latest results show that we have been able to shorten the embryo culture cycle again. Fifteen days can allow an embryonic cell to develop into a fetus. For a simple organism like a mouse, one day is enough."
"Are there any side effects? Is it too risky to grow too fast?"
"This is not the case. When we cultivated those somatic cells from South Korea, we advanced them step by step. The technology is relatively mature. Moreover, we first conducted somatic cell experiments on animals and then on humans."
"That's good."
Then the two walked out of the laboratory and seriously discussed a problem in the office.
"Previously we thought about infinitely renewing the human body through organ culture and obtaining real immortality. But now this process has fallen behind.
We can record human consciousness through biochips and upload it. Then the embryos are cultured through somatic cell reversal technology. When the embryos grow into humans, the biochips are directly transplanted back and the consciousness in the download server is downloaded. "
Qu Ping listened quietly without any surprise. She had already thought about this issue.
"Technically there should be no problem. The key is that there must be relevant volunteers and volunteers who have preserved part of their body."
"Wei Jun is a good candidate. His body is still there, and he was the first person to participate in virtual immortality. Let's do his job."
So, the two of them entered Luoying Town to look for Wei Jun.
At this time, Wei Jun was in the prime of life and in good spirits. He was reading a book. The yard was filled with birds and flowers, which was very pleasant. Seeing Chen Xiao and Qu Ping appear together, he immediately stood up to welcome them.
"What a rare visitor. How come you two are so busy and have time to see me, an idle person?" Wei Jun moved a stool for them.
"I have something to discuss with you." Chen Xiao was also direct. First, they talked about the somatic cell reversal technology, and then hoped that Wei Jun would participate in this project, so that dual immortality of mind and body could be achieved.
Qu Ping also gave generous terms: "As the first volunteer, we will replace your body indefinitely."
I thought Wei Jun would happily agree, but I didn't expect Wei Jun to reject it happily without any hesitation.
Chen Xiao was also surprised: "Why?"
"Two reasons. The first reason is that it is no longer necessary. Although I stay in the virtual world, I can make money to support my relatives outside through my medical skills, and I can also enjoy many services. For this reason, I There is no need to go out.
Moreover, the environment outside is not very good, people's hearts are complicated, and I am indeed very tired from living. Think about it, once I'm resurrected, there won't be any more annoying interviews.
I still have to go back to work and do a lot of messy things outside of work. I’m so exhausted. It's better to stay here in Luoying Town, read and play when you have time, without worrying about accommodation or interpersonal relationships.
The second reason is that this is something that should not be involved. I can't control other people, but I think death is a natural law. I'm resurrected, what about my previous relationships? I have lived a thousand years, what will the younger generation call me? "
"Then you don't want to spend time with your wife?"
“It’s not that I don’t want to, but I should control it.
Just imagine, if a couple lives together for a thousand years, how many children can they have?
How chaotic will the world's genes be? So I would also like to advise you that this technology can be available, but it must not be abused. The resources of this planet are limited. Let’s stop consuming too many resources in the real world and let the earth take a breather. "Wei Jun spoke very calmly, without stumbling at all. It was obvious that he had thought a lot during this period, and his entire ideological realm had improved.
Chen Xiao sighed. He didn't expect Wei Jun's attitude, but he understood Wei Jun's thoughts very well and was moved by it. Everyone outside is afraid of death. If this opportunity was made public, countless people would surely compete for this opportunity, but Wei Jun was able to refuse such an opportunity.
After the friendly greetings, Chen Xiao and Qu Ping returned to reality.
Chen Xiao said: "I completely agree with his views and express my admiration. But for me, virtual immortality and real immortality are necessary. Human life is too short, and many skills and knowledge cannot be used in a limited time. The accumulation is completed in life. No matter how talented a person is, he can only shine in this life. The kind of talent that can be given away without asking for it is an eternal regret in everyone's heart.
This is the most direct and effective way for humans to understand the universe and themselves. Virtual immortality can continuously produce new ideas, while real immortality can constantly verify new ideas. "
"That's right. After so many years of research, we have found that people are really different. Even if biochips can shorten the distance, it is just a gap in experience. The subtleties and brilliance cannot be replicated.
Therefore, it is always a group of people who can make new progress. But Wei Jun’s words made me a little concerned. We are reversing the laws of nature. Is this really okay? "
Chen Xiao smiled: "How come you have also entered a dead end? What is the definition of life and death? They should never be opposites. When the physical body dies, the spirit also dies.
We transfer their spirits to the virtual world, and then the spirits in reality disappear. Then we recreate the body, and this body is no longer the original body. To put it simply, even if the person is still alive, it is no longer the same person. It is just a new life with most of the original memories.
Death is both the end and the beginning. From this point of view, we have not reversed the laws of nature. It's just that the memory is passed down in another form. "
Qu Ping seemed to understand but not understand. Science pays attention to logic, and philosophy also pays attention to logic, but one's scientific logic and the other's humanistic logic are always different.
"Don't think so much. We must insist on virtual immortality and real immortality. So far, we have not found other creatures that can think about the universe, nor have we found life on other planets.
What's even scarier is that we haven't even found anyone who has come back from the future. This means that humans have not developed enough to develop a time and space machine to go back to the past and meet the past. But I prefer that they come back, but we can't reach them.
In order to confirm this idea, I also had to develop science as much as possible. I want to prove that human beings have unlimited possibilities! "
When Chen Xiao said this, he had a vague idea in his mind. Was his influence system given by a higher civilization or given by human beings after their own development? The purpose was to make people in the past develop faster.
So what is the purpose? Perhaps humans in the future are facing a huge crisis and have to go back to the past and place their hopes on their predecessors to find a new way out.
This is Chen Xiao's own judgment. It is useless to ask the system, and it may not tell the truth.
Qu Ping's eyes flashed. She knew that Chen Xiao was high-spirited and ambitious, but she didn't expect it to be so big.
"Some birds are destined to be unable to be contained because their wings are too brilliant." Apparently in Qu Ping's heart, Chen Xiao is that big bird.
There's no point in talking nonsense. If Wei Jun doesn't do it, other people won't be suitable. Besides, what Wei Jun said does make sense. If you want to choose people for real life and eternal life, you must be careful, control the overall number, and not abuse it. This technology must not be revealed first, otherwise there will be too many uncontrollable factors.
If you can't find people, then look for animals. The first choice is dogs. After all, dogs are very valuable to humans. They are indispensable for work and companionship. However, it is difficult for dogs to play a comprehensive role. Companion dogs and working dogs cannot be fully considered because their own IQ is not enough to support too much content.
This is true even for the smartest border collies.
This time, Changtian Technology lets the virtual world create a virtual dog, uses data to generate such a product in the virtual world and conducts related training.
In fact, it is similar to training AI. If it is easier, just open the skill library and plug in a few skills. But what Chen Xiao wants is a unique dog, a virtual dog with a sense of self-independence, not a dog with a unified personality that comes off the assembly line. Therefore, AI training must be carried out, and self-awareness gradually develops under different training contents.
In the real world, the laboratory selected two Labrador retrievers as cell donors, and after meiosis and recombination, rapid cultivation was carried out. The pregnancy cycle of ordinary dogs lasts for sixty days, but in the laboratory, it only takes fifteen days to increase the dog's physiological age to one age.
When the training of the dog in the virtual world is completed, the consciousness and skills are gathered together, downloaded into the biochip, and then transplanted into the dog's brain.
The dogs in the culture medium gradually began to become conscious, and their brains were adapting to their new bodies, constantly controlling every corner of their bodies. The culture fluid begins to drain, and the warm, dry wind dries the dog's hair. Gradually, a black Labrador was born.
When Labrador opened his eyes, his eyes were a little confused, but he didn't panic too much. Instead, he immediately got close to Qu Ping. In its memory, humans are trustworthy, at least for now.
This dog has a very high IQ and can be called a human lying on the ground. It has an extremely docile personality, is very quiet, and is very patient. It will do whatever you want it to do.
Apart from not being able to speak, everything is fine.
"It's so smart, why don't you call it Einstein? I remember there was a very smart dog in a foreign movie, also named like this." Qu Ping suggested, but Chen Xiao was a little resistant. After all, there are cultural differences. Foreigners don't mind, but I do.
The last dog's name is Wan Wan, which means "woof", and it also has another meaning. If you haven't thought of "Wan Wan", then you will definitely not think of other dogs.
In order to verify the training effect of Wanwan in the virtual world, Chen Xiao asked his subordinates to take him to the police dog selection center. Xiao Yang, who had picked up a dog in the parking lot, took him there.
As long as private dogs participate in the selection of police dogs, people at the police dog training center don't actually recognize it, because this is the most professional place. Can the private sector have this condition?
But I couldn't stand such a process, so I still attracted Wan Wan to participate in the selection.
"Smell this smell and lie down once you find it." This is the first project to find specific items based on smell. The trainer patiently demonstrated. The other dogs looked at the ups and downs of the trainer with happy faces, while Wanwan looked at the trainer with calm eyes.
"Isn't this a mentally retarded dog? Why can't it move?" The trainer was heartbroken. As expected, the dog sent by the private sector was unreliable.
Immediately, the trainer smiled self-deprecatingly: "If you understand, just nod your head? Forget it, how can a dog...how...fuck! Nod!"
Unexpectedly, Wan Wan actually nodded slightly.
"It's definitely an accident. It's an accident. You don't have to spend all your energy on such playful content!" The trainer was very angry.
Unexpectedly, after the assessment started, Wan Wan immediately came to a box, lay down, and even made a gesture with his head.
"Have you become a sperm?" The trainer immediately opened the box and was overjoyed. Then he looked at the other dogs, and some of them were still acting coquettishly with the trainer.
After a group of dogs are eliminated, the next stage is entered, which is the fixed action stage.
The trainer takes the dog to the sports field. There are many events here. Not only must the actions of each event be memorized, but also the route. This kind of event must be trained for one or two years to be effective, and the best results are generally All are border collies.
This batch is halfway through training to check the training effect.
The difference was immediately apparent at the beginning of the assessment. Wan Wan completed it easily, while some of the border collies failed to complete it.
"That's so smart!" The trainer said with a clear heart. This was his first time working with Wan Wan, and he had achieved such good results. It doesn't mean how talented he is, but how smart he is.
Now he finally understands why Xiao Yang carelessly handed over Wan Wan to him for assessment. Generally speaking, the master is the most suitable. (End of chapter)
