Chapter 38 Memory and Games

The development of cranial nerves is not simply the more the better.

In fact, the "maturity" of the brain nervous system is a process of "subtraction".

The original state of the brain is a primitive network with all nodes having the same weight.Later, with people's daily activities, some neuronal connection pathways will be used frequently, while others will be used less frequently.

And the more so, the "frequently used" connection paths will have higher weights.Those that are hardly used have a lower weight.

Then, the high-weight connection pathways will be further strengthened, and even a special "protective sheath" will appear to form a mature "circuit", and it will be fixed like this.

Those that are used infrequently will fall back one after another.

The connection pathway of neurons is equivalent to being "specialized".

In this process, human beings will learn to walk, learn to use their hands, and learn to speak...

This is also the reason why a person becomes "dumb" after a long period of non-speaking—the connection pathway responsible for "speaking" disappears on its own.He also forgot to speak.

It is generally believed that "learning" is a process of suppressing unnecessary information input channels, thereby strengthening the perception of target information.This kind of suppression and reinforcement is naturally dynamic.

And a certain enzyme can reverse the physiological cycle of neurons within a certain range, allowing the neural network to return to its original state and prepare for secondary development.

Not renewing cells, just reversing the biological cycle of neurons.

Xiang Shan even remembered that at the beginning of the birth of this technology, it was considered by humans as "an epoch-making technology that expands the potential of the brain" and was considered the prelude to the drastic changes of Superman.

But later, this technology quickly fell into disfavor, and finally it was only used in fields such as neurosurgery, psychology, and reconstruction of congenital intellectual disabilities.

The reason is simple, there are too many things that this enzyme will forget, and the time cost of retraining is also very high.

It is almost impossible for human beings to rely on this technology to create people beyond human intelligence.

Until the popularization of metal-based protein and prosthetic technology.

Thanks to the storage device for auxiliary memory, you can entrust your own memory in the hard disk and expand the capacity of your brain.

But it is generally believed that doing so is actually very low cost performance.

After all, for most people, there is no difference between storing memories on a hard drive and storing them in a biological brain.If you want to learn new technologies, you can use hard disk storage.All you need to pay is the little thing of "adapting the information in the hard disk with the biological brain".

Only a little.

Biological brains and Turing machines may not be the same, and there is no similarity between the two.No matter how good the internal skills are, it is impossible to dig out the information in the biological brain of human beings.

But the information on the hard disk can be deleted and tampered with at will by a real expert.

"Do you still remember the thing I told you to use the biological brain to remember?" Xiang Shan looked at Yuki: "Anything recorded on the hard disk may be taken away. At least, before humans can really decipher the mysteries of the brain, Biological brains are unhackable."

Xiang Shan made preparations very early.

But there is another major difficulty with this question.

In the late 40s and early 50s, after the birth of brain hard disk technology, neuroscientists conducted measurements and determined that the human brain capacity, after being transcribed into a format that can be stored on a hard disk, was about 2.5PB.

2.5PB, about 2560TB, or 2621440GB.Logically speaking, this should be able to hold all the text materials of several libraries.

But it is a pity that human beings cannot store their own knowledge in formats such as TXT and PDF.

After human beings perceive an event from the outside world, they will generate a series of memories.The memory of "a specific event" will be split into "information received by the senses in this event", "emotional memory of this event", "knowledge brought about by this event", etc., Stored in different categories, stored in different parts of the brain.

In many cases, what occupies memory space is not all "knowledge".

However, Xiang Shan can slightly change this point if he relies on anti-growth enzymes, neurosurgery and other things to assist him.

He transferred all the memories that could be transferred to the hard disk.Then, he used the anti-growth enzyme on his brain to wash away what was already in his brain, retrain his biological brain, and record more knowledge.

What he has now is all the knowledge needed to "start from scratch".

What kind of twists and turns did it go through? What kind of blood and sweat did he put in during the "retraining" process?

Xiang Shan doesn't remember everything, and it's impossible to remember.Even this process was speculated by him based on his own "knowledge".He himself has no memory, and he has long since forgotten what happened.

If he doesn't retrieve his memories, he will never remember them himself.

He also couldn't remember what he had been through.He can only judge whether he empathizes with this memory and whether it is something he has experienced by "whether this memory matches the emotional memory in his mind".

Having said that...

Xiang Shan also did not expect that all his memories would be physically taken away.

This should be the only way to prevent hackers.

Why?He has been reduced to that situation, and if the enemy wants to, it is easy to kill him.

But in any case, he did fall into the worst situation he could imagine.

In his biological brain, there is only pure technology and the "passion" that was limited by technology at that time and could not be accurately transformed.

He doesn't know how these technologies are used, and he doesn't know what kind of action this passion should be used to drive.

Everything is his own speculation.

He deduced from this technique what he had done before, and what this fire of passion should burn.

"The me in the past has been prepared for a long time. I know everything about that. He is me, and I only have a little less memory than him." Xiang Shan squatted beside Yuki, looking into the distance: "I know a lot of things about that... He knows more than me now. And our emotions are the same. So, I believe in the decisions I made in the past—how can I betray the me in the past who knew everything?"

Yuki shouted: "But Master, you also know things that you didn't know in the past, right? You didn't know me in the past, and you don't know the people here..."

Xiang Shan pressed his palm on Yuki's head: "Okay, what I have to do, I decided in the past. This will never change. In the remaining days, if you still want to learn the last thing from me Something, just... come here at about this time. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't come, but remember to format the drive I gave you after I leave..."

Before Xiang Shan could speak, Yuki left angrily.

Xiang Shanben wanted to stop him for a few words, but finally shook his head and laughed out loud.

"This guy……"

He stood on the rubbish mountain, on the wreckage of the battleship, looking into the distance.Endless rubbish.Twisted metal covered the earth.Farther away, there is a small town whose shape is not much different from that of a garbage dump.At the end of the line of sight, on the horizon, a piece of silver-gray plants rolled up waves in the wind.

Sometimes he wondered how old he was before he lost consciousness.Based on his self-feeling, he should still have the heart of a young man.But he seems to have experienced many similar "partings".

"Tsk, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't lost my memory. I would actually feel a little bit of nostalgia and a sense of belonging for such a place like a garbage dump? How about the baby bird effect?"

However, for knights, this may be a common thing.

......................................................

In the next ten days, Xiang Shan did not see his disciple.

......................................................

In a two-dimensional world, a villain is jumping carefully to avoid oncoming turtles and missiles falling from the sky.

A wave of chemical energy surged through the neurons of the Apennines.Even the auxiliary reflex discharge system in the brain is in operation.

This is the hardest trap in the game.There is only one frame of reaction time.And the number of action frames for each action of this villain is greater than one frame.You must complete the "prejudgment" before this trap takes shape.In this "one frame" time, the villain you control must reach the only safe "point" in the entire field of vision...

——An old martial artist said that the secret of the game of external skills is hidden in it.

"Bang"!

At this moment, a flashing icon suddenly appeared in the field of vision.Since this "reminder system" takes precedence over the game, the computer experiences a lag that shouldn't occur.

The head of the two-dimensional villain grazed the missile.

Collision judgment...failed.

The villain fell into the bottomless abyss of despair.

Apennines interrupted the game process and calmly reflected on gains and losses.He shouldn't be angry at this time, because this kind of situation may also appear in a fight.There should be no excuses for any failures.

This is a kind of martial arts training.Today's warriors always use various means to explore the origin of martial arts, trying to understand martial arts from the perspective of technology history.And there is a saying that the earliest martial arts thought came from the "games" of old humans.

Then, with a ding, the brains together with the spine exited from a black box-shaped main unit one by one, and fell into the prosthetic body with the head separated right below.The spine twisted twice like a snake, and found the interface.Then the head is closed.

The games of old humans, of course, cannot be played with prosthetic bodies for modern fighters.It doesn't matter if it's a strategy game, but if it's an action game, the built-in reaction mechanism of the driver chip will bypass the brain and use something similar to a "script" to operate the prosthetic body.

For modern warriors, the speed of the "hand" is really too fast.

The nerve signals that reach the maximum speed of [-] meters per second can't catch up at all.

To do this kind of training on "The Way of Martial Arts", you have to take off your prosthetic body and use your brain to feel the "challenge" of the game.

This specific prosthesis is commonly used in Apennines.It is a prosthetic body for reproduction, except for the brain, only the reproductive system is still a living organism.This specific body is the proof that their protectors have fulfilled the "obligation to maintain genetic diversity".Of course, the artificial skin with adjustable sensitivity also makes this prosthetic body usable for entertainment when it is free.

But the Apennines didn't like that kind of "entertainment" full of obligations at all.He is even more interested in this kind of martial arts training now.

The secretary is on the side.

What happened more than half a month ago naturally appeared in Apennine's mind.He looked at the secretary and asked, "How is the 'mountain' I called your attention to now?"
