Chapter 469 Transhumanism
Transhumanism is a trend of thought that has gradually emerged in the 21st century, with the rapid development of science and technology.
The scope of transhumanism is very wide, digital immortality, super intelligence, artificial intelligence, etc. are actually all considered this type.
Transhumanists are not recognized by mainstream society because transhumanists will conduct many human experiments in order to fulfill their ideas, and these experiments are unconventional, prohibited, and even inhumane, such as human body transformation, etc.
Many transhumanists are wanted criminals, Frankenstein, butchers, perverts, etc.
But there are also many talents among transhumanists. After all, geniuses are only a short distance from madmen. Dr. Radcliff is such a genius.
Howard has no prejudice to these transhumanists, because the things he plays with are actually the rest of the things he plays with.
When Howard recruited Dr. Radcliffe, Dr. Radcliffe saw the postdoctoral fellow Zora and knew that Hou Huade and Dr. Zora had done it as early as the 1970s, and the digital immortality that is difficult to achieve in technology to achieve so far was completely shocked.
There are so many mystery here that fascinates Dr. Radcliffe. Once, Dr. Radcliffe even saw Dr. Erskine, which surprised him.
It was not a statue in the museum, but a real, living Dr. Erskine.
Dr. Radcliffe is also proficient in biological transformation, and his body has undergone many transformations. To be more precise, human transformation is common for transhumanists.
Dr. Radcliff once read Dr. Erskine's chemical equations and some information about the Super Soldier's Serum Project, which deeply attracted Dr. Radcliff.
Superhumanists have their own unique circles and black markets. Many secrets that are unknown to the outside world can also be found here, such as the information on the Super Soldier Serum Plan. After all, it is something from decades ago. Even if it is confidential, some information will be leaked.
After reading Dr. Erskine's information, Dr. Radcliff became a brainless fan of Dr. Erskine.
Howard recruited postdoctoral fellow Radcliffe, and after assessing his level, he joined the team to be responsible for virtual world projects.
Dr. Radcliffe is currently the second-in-command of the virtual world project, second only to Howard.
With their efforts, the progress of the virtual world has been greatly improved, and it is no longer the kind of virtual game it used to be. Dr. Radcliff named it "Framework".
Currently, Dr. Radcliff is in charge of installing the memory device into the frame.
This memory device is an alien technology and a technology of the Skrulls that can read memories.
The Skru people use this memory device to read the target's memory. Even if the target's completely forgotten memory, they can extract it and put it on the screen to watch it to obtain the information they want.
Putting the memory device into the frame, and all the memories of those who enter the frame will be uploaded to the frame, which can better improve the frame and increase authenticity.
In this way, as long as there are enough people in the framework, the NPCs in the framework can be generated naturally by the memory of these people. Moreover, each NPC has the most real experience and past, just like a real person, without that false sense of rigidity.
Wudi wanted Jessica to connect to the framework and upload Jessica's memories to the framework to know some things about the Purple Man and the IH organization.
Emperor Wu did not directly use the Scrooge's memory device to read Jessica's memory.
Because this memory device has a side effect, that is, when the target is read and remembered, its consciousness will return to that moment and experience that memory repeatedly.
Jessica was already nervous to the verge of collapse just when she saw the virtual image of the Purple Man.
If she was allowed to recall that memory repeatedly, according to Noah's calculations, Jessica would have a 98% chance of her mental breaking down completely and becoming a madman, or becoming a vegetative person after being greatly stimulated.
If the memory device and the frame are integrated, there will be no such side effects.
"The memory system has not been completed yet and I have encountered some bottlenecks. However, when Dr. Zora's consciousness is uploaded to the framework, it should be very advanced." Dr. Radcliffe said.
"Start up." Emperor Wu urged.
After looking at it for a while, Emperor Wu turned around and left. Jessica could only be kept in such a way for the time being.
When passing by Dr. Erskine's laboratory, Wu Di took a look and found that Dr. Erskine was lying in front of the computer and was asleep. There was a paper on the computer and the table was filled with books.
Dr. Erskine is constantly learning, but after all, he is old and has not enough energy.
"I accidentally fell asleep again." Dr. Erskine slept very lightly, and the sound of Wudi entering the house woke Dr. Erskine up.
"Dr. Erskine." Dr. Radcliffe shouted respectfully.
Seeing Dr. Erskine's appearance, Wu Di frowned, walked aside, picked up the coffee machine and poured a cup of coffee. When he picked up the teacup, Wu Di put his finger on the teacup, and a drop of colorful liquid like starlight dripped into the coffee.
"Do you have a cup of coffee, Doctor." Wudi handed the coffee to Dr. Erskine.
"Oh, thank you." Dr. Erskine took the coffee casually.
"Yeah?" Dr. Radcliffe, who was beside him, looked at the coffee and rubbed his eyes. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the cup of coffee seemed to emit a faint fluorescence.
Dr. Erskine didn't notice this and drank all the coffee directly.
Dr. Radcliffe opened his eyes wide, and he watched helplessly, the wrinkles on Dr. Erskine's face became lighter, his skin became shiny, and his gray hair gradually became darker from the roots.
Dr. Erskine looked like he was twenty or thirty years younger.
Dr. Erskine didn't have any special feeling. He just felt that his energy was getting stronger and he was no longer sleepy. He thought it was the effect of coffee refreshing.
"Stay busy," said Emperor Wu, and left with Dr. Radcliff.
"Sir, that Dr. Erskine is...what is he drinking?" Walking in the corridor, Dr. Radcliffe hesitated and struggled for a while, but still couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah? I'm drinking coffee." Wu Di said.
