Reborn in 2010, the AI in my mind is too powerful.
Chapter 424 The Aurora Clone Project, Google's Unwilling Journey
Chen Yiran ultimately decided against putting the wet suit on Pidan. The success rate in the experiment was not low, but he couldn't guarantee that the silly dog wouldn't be able to accept it and then break down.
However, he still did not forget his original idea, and Jasmine often reminded him in his mind.
【(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ Don't forget! We're going to build a world with Pidan! I've already started managing the global robot world, but why hasn't Pidan started managing the global dog world yet? We need to work harder!】
With no other option, Chen Yiran could only focus on biology, striving to raise the overall biological level and see if he could extend the lifespan of the preserved egg indefinitely.
There is a lot of research in this area now, and many people are looking forward to the realization of the scenario in the movie where someone clones a younger version of themselves and then their consciousness travels into that younger version.
However, the uncertainty in biology is far too great. Dolly the sheep was the only one to survive out of 277 nuclear transfer fusions. Even with later advancements in technology, the success rate has not increased significantly.
Aurora Group has begun cloning-related research, using fetal monkey fibroblasts to transfer 79 cloned embryos into 21 surrogate monkeys through improved enucleation micromanipulation and epigenetic reprogramming. Six of these embryos became pregnant, and at least two ultimately survived healthily. Challenges included premature activation of oocytes, incomplete reprogramming of the donor nucleus, low blastocyst quality, and abnormal placental development.
The good thing is that this experiment proves that primates are not special and still belong to the category of regular mammals. Cloning does not have insurmountable species boundaries.
However, this also demonstrates that the closer one gets to humans, the higher the experimental costs become, and the results are far from ideal. Even with today's highly advanced cloning theory and technology, the success rate remains extremely low. Oocytes are prone to premature activation, donor nuclei are often incompletely reprogrammed, and unstable blastocyst quality leads to abnormal placental development.
The so-called accelerated growth technology, which appears in various science movies, is so outrageous that even biologists with their wet brains and boundless imaginations cannot find a reasonable solution.
While nutrition, hormones, temperature, or the intrauterine environment can affect growth rate, bone maturation involves cell proliferation and mineralization rhythms, myelination of the nervous system takes many years, puberty requires the timing of the endocrine axis, and cardiopulmonary function and metabolism also change with body weight.
During the experiment on several monkeys, all the monkeys that grew rapidly developed insufficient bone strength, excessive vascular load, immature immune system, and metabolic diseases.
The Aurora team ultimately came to a preliminary conclusion: fast forward was absolutely impossible.
Development should not be understood as an animation that can be adjusted by a speed slider.
Embryo, fetus, infant, child, adolescent and adult are not continuous textures of the same model, but rather long-distance races at different stages that depend on different organ systems.
The neural tube, cortical folding, synapse formation, pruning, myelination, and experience-dependent learning are sequentially constrained. The skeletal, muscular, cardiopulmonary, and immune systems cannot operate indefinitely in parallel. Forcibly shortening these processes will compress the final stages, more likely resulting in organ imbalance.
Moreover, if the acceleration method only increases metabolism, the first thing encountered will be the limitations of energy supply and heat dissipation. Growth requires the synthesis of biological materials, not just the consumption of energy.
High metabolism increases oxygen consumption, heat production, oxidative damage, and the demand for nutrient transport. Even the capillary density and cardiac output of an adult human body are not designed for continuous high-speed synthesis, let alone that of a teenager.
If systemic metabolism increases tenfold, waste removal, body temperature, and free radical damage may get out of control first. Therefore, nutrient solution perfusion cannot automatically bypass tissue perfusion limits, and a real artificial placenta must manage diffusion distance, blood flow, pressure, and tissue hypoxia.
In short, these problems cannot be solved at all within the so-called nutrient chamber.
Bad news kept piling up, but dramatically, Aurora unlocked another technology in the experiment, enabling early socialization.
In mouse experiments, Aurora's project team successfully inputted maze information into newborn mice that were still quite unaware of the maze, which directly and significantly increased the subsequent learning time for the mice.
Although they haven't dared to conduct human experiments yet, according to their calculations, they can make clones have basic combat capabilities within 10 years.
Moreover, although it is impossible to completely accelerate growth in the experimental chamber, if drugs are used during the growth period, it is not a problem for clones to complete physical maturity in 13 years.
---------------------------------
Time is like a wild donkey, always rushing about, never stopping.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Yiran holds the report in her hand with a blank expression, feeling a little unsure of what to do.
"Boss, let's do it! No problem!"
"Yeah, boss, we'll be careful not to let anyone know."
"Boss, that movie 'The Island' is too fake. It's impossible for any clones to escape in our project! Besides, we can just build a real island, where no one can escape."
"Boss, those clone rebellions are all fake. We can definitely handle them. We can definitely create the kind of clone army that obeys orders like in Star Wars."
Although they might not be as strong as robots, they're still so cool!
Chen Yiran felt that Aurora's repeated breakthroughs in ethical research had made the scientists under Aurora much bolder, and they were basically willing to try anything.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "But what's certain is that keeping the clone completely unconscious and just letting it serve as a shell doesn't seem to work, right?"
"It's completely impossible. As long as there is a brain, even an unborn child will have some basic residual consciousness. It is indeed possible to forcibly transfer consciousness, but it is very likely to cause a person to become mentally ill."
Chen Yiran closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table. He had a great idea, but it seemed a little... wicked.
I don't see any problem with it. We gave them life, so it's only natural that they serve us. Besides, this can solve many of our problems, such as the training of wet-component AI.
But I still feel a little uneasy.
This is maximizing utilization! We're making full use of the people we cloned; it's environmentally friendly.
Chen Yiran opened her eyes, her resolve strengthened.
In the future world, it's normal for there to be some abnormalities, right? At least we can experiment with them first and see.
"To conduct a cloning experiment on 100 people, we should select death row inmates as subjects. We need to improve our cloning technology reserves first, and don't forget to have the death row inmates provide DNA before they die."
Let me share my thoughts. In the future, we can replicate humans using better cloning technology, but the goal is not the kind of clone army from Star Wars.
We must cultivate their mechanical combat mindset! When their bodies are no longer needed for natural humans, we'll extract their brains, place them inside robots, and create "wet parts." They will then become robots with even more powerful minds.
The scientists present fell silent instantly. Just as Chen Yiran was wondering if his thoughts were too evil and had frightened the group,
A round of applause erupted in the conference room.
"It has to be the boss! He used the entire clone, not a single thing wasted."
"That's right. The cost of wet components for our current AI robots is not low, and no matter what, the performance of the neural wet components we make will never be as good as the original human brain!"
"It has to be the boss, he's got so many clever ideas."
Chen Yiran slapped the table: "Alright, stop bragging! Everyone go out and get ready to work. I'll have Amit choose a deserted island as the location. A year from now, once the facilities on the island are built, you can go there and start the experiments."
After everyone left, Chen Yiran picked up the tablet next to him and began to read the messages sent back by the intelligence department.
In fact, there was a reason why Chen Yiran eventually transferred the clone's brain into the robot.
Several years have passed since he first sensed the boundaries of the world, and he has become increasingly adept at using his own power.
If it were a fully-fledged living being, he would be helpless.
However, once connected to a silicon-based chip, he can almost instantly perceive its underlying operating logic, and if he gets close enough, he can even directly intrude and destroy it.
So even if a rebellion occurs, he's not afraid; anything using chips poses no threat to him.
On silicon, he is a god-like being.
Therefore, although he was somewhat speechless about Google's current disobedient and willful actions, he did not take any further steps to stop it.
He didn't expect that after Aurora clearly informed Google that rashly connecting animals to wet devices would cause unknown adverse effects, Google not only ignored the advice but also seemed to have found a lifeline.
Aurora's satellites keep a close eye on Google's labs, which they've built a super lab at the mouth of the Rhine River in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Although Google was very careful, and all electronic devices were specially processed to ensure they did not contain any aurora-related equipment, it was simply unrealistic to expect the transport of such enormous creatures as dolphins and killer whales to evade aurora monitoring.
Therefore, Chen Yiran could clearly know that Google not only did not stop, but even began to give the second most intelligent species on Earth a cheat code.
However, he didn't take any further action; he simply kept an eye on Google, as he was also quite interested in those big creatures in the ocean.
He was also curious whether they would take this opportunity to actually communicate with humans.
---------
On January 1, 2017, Google released its first brain-computer interface device.
Compared to the naming of the Aurora Rover, Google's naming is more concise and clear: Google Brain-Computer G1.
However, in actual use, it's not that simple.
The Aurora Wanderer consists of only a helmet and a connecting cable to a small, watermelon-sized wet device. With just these components, it allows users to immerse themselves in an oasis experience, enjoying various delicacies, and simulating touch, taste, smell, and even indescribable sensations.
However, the G1, an even larger helmet, is connected to a device bay the size of a mid-tower chassis.
Due to outdated technology and the excessive amount of materials used, the G1 still has shortcomings in sensory transmission. To put it simply, let alone the indescribable, even the taste of food is strangely simulated.
Even on the second day of its release, many people reported color issues, with grass frequently turning red in Google's virtual reality sunglasses world.
At first, some users were excited, thinking it was some kind of Easter egg, but later they discovered that it was simply because Google's brain-computer interface often misinterpreted green, causing users' visual nerves to perceive it as red.
Moreover, the power consumption has caused great dissatisfaction among many users. Because the Roamer uses wet components and can directly connect to Starlink when computing power is insufficient, the performance release of its own chip is quite limited.
The overall power consumption is only 200 watts. The only drawback is that sometimes it's necessary to feed the wet components more nutrient solution.
However, this Google device is an extremely power-hungry machine, with a terrifying 4000 watts of power consumption, leading many ordinary people to believe that it's designed to test people's mental health.
Europe is currently experiencing severe power shortages and very high prices due to the situation in Norway.
So despite Google's aggressive subsidies in Europe, resulting in a price of 900 euros, the promotion was still not very successful.
But Google remains confident because they believe they have found the key to Aurora's rise.
Aurora wouldn't let them conduct animal experiments, so they must have been doing it secretly themselves, not wanting Google to gain the same advantage!
Google inexplicably believes that Aurora's recent rapid development is because it took the right first step in wet components and then found a sufficiently strong ocean ally!
