Chapter 125: Unification
Theoretically, mind reading is not a superpower. It can be done by reaching the extreme level of psychology. However, generally speaking, the first reading is not very accurate. Not everyone's reaction is the same. It can be done through simple communication. By calibrating, you can roughly read what the person doing something thinks about what he is thinking. For example, when a person speaks, you can tell whether he is lying, but you don’t know why he is lying or right. A person knows enough to know what he was thinking when something happened, and then judge whether he is lying. His emotions require a certain amount of reasoning ability. Through emotions and what he is thinking, he can infer why something happened. Such emotions can tap into deeper things in people's hearts.
But the ability to read memory is a bit chilling. According to modern information processing and other related theories, memory is a process of encoding, storing and retrieving information input from the outside world. Let’s first look at the basic categories of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory. Sensory memory can be understood as the capacity of sensory channels. Sensory information is still preserved in a very short period of time after the stimulus ends. The process of its transmission can be seen as the encoding and processing of information such as images and sounds and the transition to short-term memory. Short-term memory, or working memory, recodes input information to expand its capacity.
Long-term memory means that information can be stored in the brain for a long time after being fully and deeply processed. These three types of memory cooperate with each other, making the entire memory system form an organically linked process. To put it bluntly, memory is a process like this: external stimulation produces sensory memory, sensory memory encodes the information to attract attention and then enters short-term memory. Short-term memory stores the information in a certain encoding method into long-term memory, and returns it to long-term memory when necessary. The memory can be retrieved from long-term memory in some way.
From this perspective, I think that as long as you master the encoding and retrieval methods of memory, it is possible to extract the memory. Of course, this also has a certain basis in brain science. First, specific impulses trigger permanent changes in neuronal synapses that are the neural basis of long-term memory. Secondly, long-term memory will cause changes in the anatomical structure of the brain. In a neural pathway in the hippocampus, there is a series of short-term high-frequency potentials that can increase the synaptic strength of the pathway, that is, long-term potentiation. In addition, relevant studies have also confirmed that memory may also cause related changes in RNA.
Therefore, we can basically draw a more confident conclusion. First of all, since the process of encoding, storage, and retrieval exists, it is still possible to extract memory if you master the specific encoding and storage form and use the corresponding retrieval methods. In addition, the memory we talk about in our daily lives usually refers to long-term memory. In many science fiction novels, someone's long-term memory is uploaded to a computer or other terminal, allowing him to gain immortality. In some ways, this shows that personality formation is closely related to people's life experiences, but is this really the case? There are also many uncertain factors in human memory itself. For example, memory is easily suggestible, especially things before the age of three. These phenomena also bring certain difficulties to memory reading. Of course, there are many other uncertain factors besides this, so the current reading memory is just an idea and cannot be put into practice.
Finally, as for consciousness, current research in all aspects cannot even explain clearly what consciousness is, let alone extract it.
And from an unprofessional perspective, there must be media for memory storage, and there must be a unique writing method. They should all be stored by bioelectricity. Of course, they must be encrypted. If you want to read the memory, you must have, call The mechanism must go through the brain, otherwise the massive permanent memory and temporary memory will cause the reading device to crash. However, current brain virtualization technology can only intercept information and cannot even decipher it, let alone issue instructions. Even if the above requirements are met, the format of memory, how to solve it, and the problem of memory damage have made it impossible to achieve something in recent decades.
This is what Du Jin thinks about and fears the most. His choice and his understanding of this choice are no longer just a part of memory, but a part of spiritual consciousness. This mysterious and mysterious spirit is almost It is contrary to the current mainstream science, and digging deeper is the category of theology. According to the statement of the creature behind him, the other party read his own memory through short contact, or even through brain waves in the air, including the time at that time. Apart from the blood seal, Du Jin can't think of another civilization or creature that can do this.
Fortunately, Du Jin noticed that the other party seemed to be much less hostile to him. After all, the other party could stand on its side and say that his species should not go into the abyss. From a basic psychological analysis, the other party was already in To a certain extent, he has a positive impression of Du Jin, and now that the fleshy membranes on Du Jin's body have not disappeared or lost their function, doesn't it also mean that the unknown creature behind him has no murderous intention towards him? At least, Du Jin doesn't think so now.
In order not to offend the other party's ideological "identity", Du Jin did not answer its question rashly. After thinking carefully for half a minute, he chose to obey his identity at this time and communicate candidly from the perspective of a seeker of knowledge. :
"My choices were actually more for myself and the people I cherished. When I almost died due to my choices, I actually regretted it a little, but then when I saw my choices, they turned out to be wrong. indirectly saved my country and even my race. Only then did I truly accept all the costs of my choice. To be honest, I...I was essentially selfish... ..."
When Du Jin knew that the other party could read minds, including memories and thoughts, he had no intention of hiding his true heart and pretending to be an image of humankind's desperate dedication. Some goodwill and pity disappear, of course, even in normal times, unless it is in a public situation and his words and deeds may not only affect himself alone, then he may say some "embellished" words for the immediate benefit, but In private, that is, in front of relatives and friends, he is very calm about his thoughts and value judgments. In Du Jin's view, honesty is the basic element for maintaining interpersonal relationships, even if what this element brings may not be good. the result of.............
Then, after Du Jin stated his position on making the decision, he asked in a solemn tone:
"Huh? Senior? I don't know if the abyss you just mentioned refers to... the blood mark? Or the blood moon? Or my race, the human race itself?"
The word "abyss" can refer to too many things. For humans, even if there are no foreign high-dimensional weapons like blood seals, interests and greed will silence countless wars and disputes among humans. Once small At that time, Du Jin couldn't understand very much. Human beings couldn't even coordinate the conflicts between different countries and races on Blue Star. How could they place their peace on aliens and alien life? At that time, the law of survival of the weak will probably lead to the destruction of mankind more quickly. Only now, Du Jin realized that this is a compromise of human nature.
The concept of competing for interests has been engraved in the deepest part of human nature. The wiser people are, the more they can discover this. But on the other hand, the more capable people are, the clearer they are that the evil of human nature is difficult to eradicate. Only by Only the boundless universe and unlimited resources can satisfy human beings' desire for development and survival instinct. If we really put all our energy into the management and development of Blue Star, the destruction of humanity will probably come faster. After all, Blue Star Everything is limited......................
The other party seemed to hesitate after hearing Du Jin's question. Du Jin waited for a moment before it said in a low voice:
"You... already have the answer. I can't... give you confirmation, but the... spirit that lives in you will lead you." Understand... plunder, killing, peace, confrontation, they will all come together... you shouldn't be here, at least... ...Not yet!"
"Reunification!?" This word instantly made Du Jin a little alert. He seemed to have some guesses about the identity of the creature he was talking to. According to the scene he saw in the "dream" he entered when he first came into contact with the blood seal fragments, the blood moon seemed to be It was the Blood Seal that absorbed enough biological power and DNA to assemble the entire planet to create a flesh-and-blood planet. The huge blood moons in front of him seemed to confirm that this was once the Blood Seal's paradise, the biological hell, and those of the Oneness Cult. His teachings take "unity, unity" as the first tenet, and after the confrontation with the blood seal at the consciousness level, this word was also whispered in his ears.
"You...you are blood............."
Du Jin just said his guess with some trembling, and then a force tightly closed Du Jin's mouth. At that moment, Du Jin's mouth was like nothing he had ever seen before, and then, that low voice The tone rang in his ears again:
"Leave...here, reunite, it's you...and me..."
