Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Chen Yiran led Ellison on a stroll into the island, explaining the consciousness transfer plan to him as they walked.

I won't go into the specific technical details, because you wouldn't understand anyway.

In short, based on my initial plan, I set up several scenarios, the best of which was undoubtedly whole-brain simulation combined with wet-system anchoring. The results were not ideal, likely due to the limitations of current biotechnology or our insufficient understanding of the brain; the experiment was a failure.

Then there's the microtubule quantum consciousness hypothesis, which posits that consciousness arises from quantum coherence processes within the microtubules of neurons. If this holds true, once a wet sphere reaches a certain level of complexity, weak quantum coherence signals appear within the microtubules, resonating with the post-mortem image of its original owner.

However, although we have indeed observed macroscopic quantum entangled states synchronized with consciousness in living brains, they seem to be in potassium ion channels rather than microtubules, and they exhibit weak coherence with microsecond-level decoherence in a humid environment at 37 degrees Celsius, which current technology cannot capture.

Neither of the two more elegant solutions worked, leaving only two somewhat alarming options.

One approach is gradual replacement. We implanted ultra-high-density cortical electrode arrays into dying test subjects, gradually taking over various inputs, then motor outputs, and finally memory retrieval. The corresponding areas of their brains gradually degenerate and go offline, and the electrodes and chips gradually take over all functions.

The patient is gradually regaining consciousness. The feedback we received is that he cannot feel any changes in himself, but he feels that the world is becoming clearer and his reactions are getting faster.

At the current pace, in another two weeks, the brain tissue will be completely replaced by the electrode network, and the way of thinking and memory will continue to operate in the hybrid system of silicon-based chips and wet components, and the original brain will actually die.

However, judging from the situation behind the scenes, this is still not the kind of immortality we want. In reality, it is still a replacement of a behavior pattern. It is a distillation of a person's life, giving the feeling of spiritual immortality.

The other experimental method is the same; it cannot achieve complete immortality.

The method is symbiotic integration. We created a two-way system where the brain is the master brain and the wet component is the secondary brain. Interestingly, even without our guidance, the brain already considers the wet component secondary brain as part of the body.

The longer the symbiotic relationship lasts, the more the overall behavior of the wet brain and the secondary brain becomes like that of the main brain. Eventually, when the main brain dies, the secondary brain becomes a substitute.

The patients currently undergoing this experiment have a more profound experience with the machine. They can clearly feel themselves gradually becoming a machine, and their human perception is gradually becoming very strange.

In short, that's how it is for now. Technology can extract a person's spiritual successor, but it's hard to say whether that counts as allowing them to continue living.

Ellison asked with some disappointment, "How long until the microtube quantum consciousness hypothesis? That's science fiction. The two things you're doing now are too inelegant; not everyone dares to try them."

Chen Yiran said dejectedly, "Indeed, although it is still very sci-fi in reality, it sounds dirty and not elegant at all."

Take your time. My team just can't wait any longer, so we're getting it done to test it out. Also, could you send me some more all-in-one machines? I still don't have enough.

Although the human brain's memory is only around 20 TB, far less than we expected, we are still preparing to connect as much computing power as possible for safety and redundancy.

After all, these two professors are the first two in the world—how should I put it, cyborgs?

The two chatted happily in front of Chen Yiran. It should be noted that Ellison also came from a technical background, and was a tech whiz in Silicon Valley. He had read a lot of science fiction novels and discussed the future world's path with Chen Yiran in detail.

Chen Yiran prefers to focus solely on developing technology, using the byproducts to exchange for money and resources, and if anyone provokes him, he will simply eliminate them.

Ellison was more radical, believing that the Aurora Corporation needed to become the master of the world and should intervene in global affairs now. For many, the imperfect immortality they enjoy is enough.

There are plenty of wealthy, dying old men who could become cyborgs; they can unite many people.

Paul Singh followed behind, constantly wiping his sweat. He looked around and saw that there were no security personnel nearby, indicating that the island was very loosely managed.

But then he looked down again and didn't see his feet; instead, he saw his enormous belly. At that moment, he regretted going to the gym only to meet the beautiful trainers, focusing solely on endurance training and neglecting his speed.

Look at those two perverts. Do you think I can listen to what they're saying? They keep saying that we capitalists are corrupting society, creating a wealth gap, and doing nothing of substance. They're guilty of heinous crimes.

Look at these Silicon Valley monsters, they're all aiming to destroy the world.

Chen Yiran ignored Paul Singer behind him and deliberately took the two of them to the laboratory, showing them the specific experimental situation in a boastful manner.

Gerald Edelman was wearing a huge hat, surrounded by countless instruments monitoring his condition in real time. Although he was resting with his eyes closed, he looked to be in good health.

A silver coffin-shaped object is eye-catching, and through the observation window on top, you can see small fleshy spheres inside.

In another room, Paul Paterson looked similar, but not so well. Next to him was a black, coffin-like object containing even more fleshy lumps than in the next room.

After looking at the two coffins, one black and one white, Ellison became a little more excited: "They're not bad, not as filthy as they're portrayed in Warhammer."

It feels really like science fiction. When can I talk to the two professors?

"What's so sci-fi about it? It's just that the outer shell has a matte finish, which makes it look sci-fi. We can't talk to them, since we don't have any experience. Right now, both of them are under complete isolation. They are only being questioned by students they know each day. We hope to keep them as stable as possible."

Paul Singer followed silently all the way. He now knew very well that this was not a plot orchestrated by the two most notorious bad boys in Silicon Valley.

After thinking for a long time, Paul Singer took the initiative to say to Chen Yiran, "Mr. Chen, I believe you should understand why I came. I think you deliberately let me see these experiments for a reason."

I'm not a very smart person, at least compared to you, I'm obviously quite stupid. Therefore, I can't guess what you're thinking. Just tell me directly what you want to discuss, and on behalf of my company, I assure you that whatever you need, we will do our best to cooperate.

Regarding Israel, it's up to your preference. I've always supported them only because of my Jewish identity; I have no connection to the Israeli government. Now I realize my perspective was too narrow. In the future, society should be one of global unity!

Chen Yiran thought for a moment and didn't hide his thoughts: "To be honest, the reason I sold weapons to Bahrain before was simply because I thought Israel was disgusting. They even kill children. They're beasts."

At the time, I never expected that these Iranian idiots would attack civilians. They could have at least targeted the military, police, and secret agents. They're beasts.

I'm not going to get involved in the Middle East anymore. Bahrain wants to continue selling drones to Iran, but I won't interfere. You can talk to them yourselves. As long as you don't harm my friends, that's fine. Iran isn't my friend, but Bahrain, the UAE, Qatar, and other countries are.

Those countries that come to me for help are truly sincere. No matter how religious or backward their own countries are, they are all very earnest when they ask me for help.

You guys are making me feel nauseous. People like you who come to me for help are secretly carrying a camera. Israel feels that you're being very disrespectful to me.

So although I don't like Islam either, I still dislike you all more.

Ellison paused for a moment, then turned and glared at Paul Singer.

Paul Singh swallowed hard and said, "They asked me for help, probably because they were curious about what was going on here. They said it was on this button, and I'd like to take it off for you now?"

"No need. A few days ago, I might have had some doubts and might have killed you to maintain secrecy. But now, I don't care. Go back and tell the Israeli government that I will continue to send weapons to Bahrain like crazy. Try and stop me if you dare."

Several burly men suddenly emerged from all directions, grabbed Paul Singer, and dragged him outside.

After everyone had gone, Ellison seemed to suddenly break down, leaning against the wall and sitting on the sofa, saying, "You, you really did it, you actually made this kind of thing."

"Weren't you very calm just now?"

"I was just trying not to embarrass myself in front of others. You said there was a surprise, and this is it? This is a surprise? This is a huge, huge, super shock!"

What should we do next? Besides giving the wealthy a hope of prolonging their lives, this technology must have other uses, right? Should we release it?

Will I live to see the aurora borealis dominate the world? How will nuclear weapons be dealt with? What if a government wants to steal the technology, or simply doesn't want the technology and resorts to ballistic missiles?

Or, to put it simply, I'm Jewish, and I know those people in Israel very well. If you keep sending weapons to the Middle East, they won't let it go.

"Let's go through it one by one. First and foremost, it must be released; there's no need to hide it. As for its usefulness, think about it: if those senior scientists have real-time, comprehensive AI assistance for calculations, they can still retain their own human thought processes."

He even reversed his aging process and reached the peak of his mental capacity. He even evolved to the point where he didn't need to rest or eat. He could work continuously as long as he was plugged in and replenished with some nutrient solution every day.

How rapidly will human science and technology develop!

Ellison paused for a moment and said, "You haven't mentioned the nuclear issue and the Israel problem yet. I know you may have some preparations, but let's try to avoid confrontation. It's not good for our development."

"I agree with you that confrontation is resource-intensive and not worthwhile, but that's when it comes to confronting a major power like the United States. Israel isn't qualified; confronting it is easy. We just need to deal with the United States. I already have a plan, and I'll leave that to you to handle."

"What do we do?"

"We need a puppet to help us control the United States, the world's largest economy. As long as the United States doesn't cause trouble, world peace is not a dream."

There's this guy with the big golden retriever who started considering running for office last year, and I think he'd be a good choice.
