Chapter 1711 Admit it, we are!
Li Yao held his breath, but he didn't expect Professor Mo Xuan to be so open and honest, so he would tell him the secret without asking him.
Could it be that the teacher is really open and has a clear conscience and nothing is done?
Professor Mo Xuan said: "The research we conducted in the virtual world mainly uses a mimicry of nearly 1oo% to simulate the generation of life in the material world, that is, first 'create' a virtual primitive planet, and then inject various conditions bit by bit, hoping that it will slowly produce virtual archaeological, trilobites, dinosaurs, apes, and until the final 'virtual intelligent life'.
"Oh, we were too naive and too impatient at that time. We completely underestimated the difficulty of creating life and overestimated the computing power we could output.
"Or it is useless even if you output a lot of computing power, it is not a positive relationship between computing power and soul."
Li Yao said: "I don't understand, please explain."
Professor Mo Xuan said: "For example, if you have a metal puppet weighing one ton, its strength is a hundred times larger than that of humans, but if you want to turn it into a real person, what would you do? Is it okay to constantly increase its weight and output power? From one to one hundred tons, from one hundred times the force to ten thousand times the force, can it generate wisdom and will, and become real life?"
Li Yao thought about it and shook his head slowly.
"Of course, no one will be stupid enough to do this, because weight and strength are all things that have nothing to do with "consciousness", but in fact, "computing power" is the same. Crazy superposition of computing power is like turning a metal puppet from one ton to one hundred tons. It is impossible to give birth to any life, it will only cause collapse!
"It's a pity that we all didn't understand or were unwilling to believe this truth at that time.
"Just when there was a sign of the birth of primitive life in the virtual spirit world, we gathered twelve-level crystal brains and madly injected the computing power of the "virtual spirit world" and finally collapsed.
"I don't want to talk about that collapse. Anyway, you must have seen it in the news reports. Although there are many ingredients that add fuel to the fire, the result is that Su Chang died tragically in the Void Spirit Realm. Lu Qingchen and I were both severely damaged. As a result, I stopped the "Void Spirit Realm Project", and Lu Qingchen simply betrayed the Federation and surrendered to the Empire.
"But, let me tell you a secret that I stopped the 'Virtual Realm Project' not because I gave up, but because, just as I was involved in the turbulent flow of infinite computing power and torn into pieces in the vortex and storm of the Virtual Realm, I suddenly figured it out and completely figured it out!
"So stupid. I used to be so stupid, so stupid, so dull!
"In just a few hundred years, it is neither possible nor necessary to create a virtual life out of thin air, because we already have a virtual life, an extremely perfect virtual life that will never be enemies of human beings, that is ourselves!"
Professor Mo Xuan became more and more excited as he spoke. Finally, he pointed at Li Yao and Ling Xiaole again!
Li Yao and Ling Xiaole were confused.
"etc"
Ling Xiaole took a deep breath, bit his finger and said, "Professor, can we be considered 'virtual life'?"
"Why not?"
Professor Mo Xuan opened his arms as if he wanted to embrace the whole world, "Look at our current state of living, what is the difference between it and the 'virtual life' you imagined?"
"But we have bodies!"
Ling Xiaole said anxiously, "This is the virtual world, our bodies are in the real world!"
"Note that this is the spiritual world, not the virtual world."
Professor Mo Xuan's tone became rarely stern. After a moment, he lowered his tone and said, "Yes, you have bodies, but the ghost cultivator does not. The ghost cultivator is just a very complicated, mysterious and unpredictable magnetic fluctuation. A small chip is enough to accommodate him. So, you can agree that the ghost cultivator without a body is a kind of 'virtual life'?"
Li Yao and Ling Xiaole looked at each other and saw the entanglement in each other's eyes. Ling Xiaole tilted his head and thought for a long time, and hummed: "Okay, okay, if the professor insists on saying this, ghost cultivators can indeed be regarded as a kind of 'virtual life', and they are...the spiritual race."
“It’s not just that.”
Professor Mo Xuan looked at the two of them with deep eyes and said deeply, "Whether from the perspective of law or the public order and good customs of society, ghost cultivators are all members of human beings. Can you agree with this?"
"certainly!"
Li Yao and Ling Xiaole did not hesitate.
This is certain. Since the promulgation of the Federal Human-Ghost Equality Act more than two hundred years ago, ghost cultivators or spiritual races have had the same legal status as ordinary human races.
More than two hundred years is enough to allow most ghost cultivators to integrate into normal society.
"Also, the demon race, no matter how strange the body is, with wings, tail, minions and horns, as long as he has the soul of a human being and regards himself as a member of human civilization, he is also a human being."
Professor Mo Xuan stared at Ling Xiaole, "Do you agree?"
"Agree!"
Ling Xiaole nodded violently. She was a half-demon herself, so how could she disagreed?
Professor Mo Xuan smiled and stretched out three thick and long fingers: "So, you can all agree that whether it is the spirit race without a body, the demon race with strange bodies, or the human race with relatively 'normal' bodies, but maybe it can move on the sword or blow out thousands of kilograms of fist power, no matter how different the bodies of these three are, it doesn't matter whether there is a body or not, but they are all organic parts of human civilization?"
Li Yao pondered, thinking hard about the trap in this sentence, but after thinking for a long time, he could not refute it. He nodded slowly: "Yes."
"In other words, you all agree that the reason why people are human is not the body, but the soul?"
Professor Mo Xuan said, "As long as the soul is a human, how can the body change, even if it doesn't? For example, Representative Lin, if one day you unfortunately sacrifice and lose your body in the battle to defend human civilization, but you are reborn in the form of a 'ghost cultivator', are you still human?"
Li Yao blinked: "Of course it's!"
"So, the body is not important. The true face of our life form like humans is the 'soul', and we are originally a special virtual life."
Professor Mo Xuan concluded, "And the so-called flesh and blood body is just a layer of 'shell', which is the shell that helps us descend into the material world for activities. Something similar to crystal armor, but this layer of 'Flesh and crystal armor' is our innate equipment, just like the eggshell of an egg animal!
"Because it is just a shell, it doesn't matter whether it has it or not, it doesn't matter what it looks like, it doesn't matter if it grows a horn. It doesn't matter if it can blast out fifty kilograms of power and five thousand kilograms of power. It's just that the 'model' is different and there is no essential difference, right? Right!"
Li Yao and Ling Xiaole both slowly opened their mouths. Although Professor Mo Xuan’s statement was absurd, he thought it was impeccable and thought it was impeccable!
If you admit that the ghost cultivator is a member of human beings and that the demon clan is also a member of human beings, then it doesn’t matter what the human “body” looks like, what is important is the soul!
Therefore, the flesh and blood body is just a shell, and humans are originally virtual life, or "spiritual life"!
"You guys understand my initial stupidity, right?"
Professor Mo Xuan seemed to laugh, cry, and murmured, "We humans are originally a kind of virtual life, but I turned a blind eye to such facts. Instead, I went to the near and far to create a new virtual life, which also led to irreversible accidents. It's really foolish.
"Wrong, wrong, the research direction in the past was completely wrong. With the explosive development of crystal brain and spiritual network technology, the focus we should focus on is not to create a brand new virtual life, but how to make us humans make a new leap on the road of evolution, fully enter a new form, and a completely virtual life form!"
Li Yao suddenly raised his hand.
Professor Mo Xuan: "Representative Lin, what's the problem?"
Li Yao: "Professor Mo Xuan, I wonder if you can turn a huge rainbow lollipop out under the premise that the law allows, and then introduce it to us while licking the lollipop?"
Professor Mo Xuan: "Why do you do this?"
Li Yao: "Because I think you look like the ambitious villain that often appears in novels, games and glitter phantoms, which makes me very nervous, so I was wondering if you were asked to lick the lollipop and say that the atmosphere would be a little more relaxed."
Ling Xiaole: "...Well, professor, I agree with Envoy Lin's proposal. Your theory is really a bit creepy."
Professor Mo Xuan: "Yes!"
He snapped his fingers gently, then took out a large and round spiral rainbow lollipop in his arms, and tore open the wrapping paper, licking it carefully, while slowly saying: "If you are still nervous, if I told you that I would have written these theories long ago and submitted them to the top leaders of the federal government and various academic institutions. At this moment, every corner of the entire "worry-free world", including the conversation we are currently in, is being closely monitored by the Secret Sword Bureau. Will this make you feel better?
"I can even let all the secret sword envoys who are monitoring it join in. Maybe Miss Ling can recognize a few colleagues. Do you need it?"
A middle-aged man with a deep gaze, a firm face, a clumsy expression and a very wide shoulders licked a big rainbow lollipop very seriously. This scene was really... unspeakable weird.
However, the gloomy and crazy atmosphere just now was indeed gone without a trace.
Li Yao and Ling Xiaole blinked at the same time. Thinking about it, it was unreasonable to visit a secret project such as the "Tinder Plan" as Li Yao's "Special Envoy of the Speaker of the Star Sea Republic".
"I know what you are thinking, but everything is not what you think."
Professor Mo Xuan said lightly, "Representative Lin, under normal circumstances, if you calculate twenty-four hours a day, how much time would you spend in the crystal brain and the Internet world?"
Li Yao thought for a while: "If you count the cultivation of Taixu Illusion Realm, it will take about ten hours. After all, when I reach my level, my calculation power and soul are very powerful. In Taixu Illusion Realm, you can use it for a long time. One hour is used for three or four hours. Many deductions and practices can be carried out in the virtual world."
Professor Mo Xuan nodded: "Miss Ling, where are you?"
Ling Xiaole thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily, there may be less time when you go on a mission, but you basically spend the whole day on vacation. If you want to summarize, it will take about ten hours."
"Very good, you're all close to the federal average internet time."
Professor Mo Xuan smiled and said, "According to the latest statistics, if the time on different planets and starships is converted into twenty-four hours a day, the time spent on the Lingwang every day, regardless of gender, age, is nine hours and twenty minutes. If it is an active age group between eight and one hundred and twenty years old, the average time to access the Internet is twelve hours and thirty-three minutes, which is just half.
"Although time is only half, almost all important things for modern people, such as work, entertainment, making friends, calling for taxi, ordering takeout, expressing opinions, and self-improvement... All of this is done online.
"It can be said that the focus of modern human life has long been completely and irreversibly transferred to the Internet!
"I would like to ask you two. If half of your life and 90% of the content, whether you have to work, practice, eat, make friends or even ***, and are happy to do it through the Internet, are you carbon-based life or virtual life? Is your soul living in the Internet or the material world? Is the so-called "reality" just a "shell" used to ensure that you can access the Internet normally and let you reproduce the next generation so that they can continue to access the Internet normally?
"Is it really difficult to acknowledge that human beings are a virtual life, the Internet is our future, our essence, everything about us?"
Professor Mo Xuan bit the rainbow lollipop hard, and asked firmly—
