Walking into the Siwo Biological Laboratory, I saw two spheres with a diameter of 20 centimeters in the incubator. "The sphere in this incubator is composed of two hemispheres. There are hundreds of billions of neurons in each biochemical brain. The time displayed above represents the life time of the sphere. Siwo is connected to Biochemical Brain No. 1 and No. 2. "After Lin Sen finished speaking, he saw the running holographic images of two circular biochemical brains appearing in the air. In the two biochemical brains, criss-crossing dense networks of different brightnesses from light yellow to deep red appeared, just like the densely packed city at night. The transportation network displays two rows of numbers, one row is the occupancy ratio, and the other row is the real-time computing power.
Chen Zhang said solemnly: "We encountered a problem when cultivating the biochemical brain..."
Wen Lin noticed that the three of them looked worried and asked, "Is it a moral issue?"
Zhou Zhiqi replied with a serious face: "Yes, although many people can do this kind of thing under the noble banner of studying disability issues, but if the biochemical brain generates consciousness, does it count as a person? If there are thousands of people in the future This biochemical brain is imprisoned in this sphere, soaked in these incubators, just to do such a thing as calculation. Is it another kind of slavery? Another kind of prison?"
After Zhou Zhiqi finished speaking, everyone was silent for a moment. Lin Sen continued: "In the process of cultivating and researching these two biochemical brains, we have roughly understood the brain's computing mechanism and the nature of consciousness. Let's talk about the conclusion first. : First, the development of the brain cannot reach 100%, which is limited by the limits of neuron cells and brain organs. Second, the consciousness of the brain itself cannot be transferred or copied."
After hearing the conclusion, Wen Lin thought for a moment and said: "The first point can also be understood from a biological perspective. After all, if the bioelectricity is too strong, it will really cook the brain."
"Yes, we are studying how to increase the computing power of the brain. There are two methods: first, increasing the degree of brain development; second, increasing the size of the brain. Whether it is the first method or the second method, it involves The bioelectrical limit and energy supply limit of neuron cells, and the bioelectrical limit and energy supply limit of brain organs. Currently, Einstein, the smartest person in the world, is recognized by humans as having a brain development level of 13%, but this does not mean that Einstein's brain still has 87% of its computing power untapped."
Wen Lin nodded: "Indeed, epilepsy is the result of abnormal brain discharge."
"Since a single brain has limitations, can we create a brain matrix? But if you think about it, isn't this brain matrix a group effect? In real life, division of labor and cooperation among multiple people improve efficiency, but decision-making by multiple people is another matter. It’s true. In fact, collective efforts can sometimes turn into a crab effect. Our experiments have also confirmed this.” As he spoke, Lin Sen pointed to the two biochemical brains in the air: “Siwo, put the biochemical brains No. 1 and 2 together. The left brain is connected, and the right brain is connected." When the two biochemical brains are connected, the computing power displayed in the holographic image becomes unstable. "The result is that the consciousness of the two brains is not compatible, and a split personality occurs. It has not realized the integration of consciousness into one, thus achieving the 1+1=2 superposition of computing power, which is the same as the decision-making situation between two people in reality. This is the second conclusion we draw, the consciousness of the brain itself cannot be transferred , cannot be copied."
Wen Lin asked with slight surprise: "So it seems that you have touched the door of consciousness?"
Lin Sen pondered for a moment and replied: "Human consciousness is an ecosystem of tens of billions of neuron cells growing together in the cerebral cortex."
Zhou Zhiqi added: "The cortex is like the earth, neurons are like trees growing on the earth, and each forest is like a person's consciousness."
Wen Lin understood at this time: "There is no identical leaf in the world, and consciousness cannot be copied; a forest cannot be copied, and consciousness cannot be transferred." After saying this, she sighed, maybe it was a kind of relief, maybe it was a kind of loss.
Chen Zhang said: "Siwo, connect Biochemical Brain No. 1 to Computing Cluster No. 1, and connect Biochemical Brain No. 2 to Computing Cluster No. 2. Biochemical Brain No. 1 is set as the master controller, and Biochemical Brain No. 2 is set as the slave. Control." It can be seen that the peak computing power of Biochemical Brain No. 1 far exceeds the total computing power of Biochemical Brain No. 2, but the range of numerical changes is much higher than that of Biochemical Brain No. 2.
"The fluctuation of this value comes from consciousness."
