Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

next month.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Optical Quantum Computer Experiment Center, the first generation of optical quantum computers based on a biological quantum brain architecture has been successfully developed.

After multiple inspections confirmed its safety and stability, Ling moved into its "new home".

As a powerful artificial intelligence, Zero actively changed its basic algorithm to adapt to the new architecture of optical quantum computers.

Thus, the prototype of an Italian web core was born.

However, the core of this AI network carries Zero, a powerful artificial intelligence devoid of emotion.

Compared to previous optical quantum computers, the new optical quantum computer, born from the biological quantum brain, is clearly more compatible with Zero, a powerful artificial intelligence that has evolved to an extremely deep level by relying on a large amount of data.

It cannot generate emotions due to the constraints of the core code.

This is why Zero can only approach super artificial intelligence through continuous evolution and iteration, but can never become super artificial intelligence.

Even so, Zero at this moment is still superior to the quantum consciousness of the Nus civilization, which has survived for tens of millions of years.

The optical quantum computer with a biological quantum brain architecture undoubtedly greatly unleashed the potential of zero—its computing power growth even surprised Lü Yongchang!

The computing resources that were gradually becoming scarce have now become abundant.

Is the insufficient number of interplanetary probes slowing down the expansion rate?

Another billion detectors!

Insufficient resources?

Create ten more [Star Devourers] and mine all the minerals in the surrounding star system!

Agreed! Would ten times the computing power be enough?!

Lu Yongchang swore that he had never fought such a rich battle since he left Earth!

Under the incredibly powerful surge of computing power, the expansion speed of human civilization has increased dramatically once again!

At this very moment, the entire region within 35 light-years of the Kepler 452 star system has been designated as the territory of the Pan-Human Federation of the Milky Way!

As human civilization once again sounded the clarion call for great expansion, memory transfer experiments in biological laboratories quietly restarted.

As Lü Yongchang said.

The zeros after the algorithm iteration can perfectly simulate the bioelectric current signals of the core of the YiNet.

White mice, chimpanzees...

The memory input experiments on various experimental organisms have all been successful!

……

Several months later.

Lu Yongchang frowned slightly as he looked at the experimental report in front of him.

Although the memory transfer experiment was declared a success, this does not mean that the "thought imprint" technology is successful.

Memory transfer is merely a prerequisite technology for the "thought imprint" technology.

"A report on the discovery that biological consciousness generally possesses the ability to self-correct..."

Lu Yongchang softly read the report from the holographic projection.

"Yes," Mao Zhengzhi's voice came from the side. "The biology lab has recently tested dozens of animals and found this phenomenon in all of them."

"Different animals react to false memories input from the outside world with varying degrees of intensity."

"But one thing is certain."

"The more intelligent a creature is, the stronger its reaction to false memories."

"Correspondingly, they are also more likely to discover problems with this memory, thereby completing the error correction process of their own memory."

Simply put, the higher the level of biological intelligence, the lower the effectiveness of memory input.

Lü Yongchang nodded thoughtfully.

"Not only that," Mao Zhengzhi paused, then continued, "the intensity of the self-correcting phenomenon of consciousness is also closely related to the content of the input memories."

"The greater the discrepancy between the input memory and the organism's self-cognition, the stronger the self-correction phenomenon, and the lower the memory input effect."

Let me give you an example.

"If I wanted to input a memory into you, I would tell you that water is highly toxic, and oxygen is also highly toxic."

"This memory deviates greatly from your self-perception, which is very likely to cause a self-correction phenomenon in your consciousness, and this input memory will also become a piece of garbage in your memory."

"This was also evident during the memory input experiment on the [Nus Civilization]."

Lü Yongchang's expression became slightly more serious: "But that's exactly what the [Thought Imprint] technology is supposed to do."

"Yes!" Mao Zhengzhi sighed heavily, opened his mouth as if to say something but then stopped.

"actually……"

"The biological laboratory has proposed a solution."

Lü Yongchang raised his eyelids, looking at Mao Zhengzhi with some surprise: "What?"

"...high-frequency memory transmission."

Mao Zhengzhi said with difficulty.

……

High-frequency memory transmission technology.

As the name suggests, it involves using memory transfer technology at extremely high frequencies to forcibly break down the self-correcting defenses of biological consciousness and firmly implant erroneous and false memories into the consciousness of the organism.

It's like brainwashing.

But everything has two sides.

High-frequency memory transmission has extremely strong side effects on living organisms.

In severe cases, it can lead to death; in milder cases, it can result in loss of self-awareness.

"Did this mouse pass the experiment?"

Following behind Mao Zhengzhi, Lü Yongchang looked at the white mouse in the isolation chamber in surprise: "What is this...?"

Inside the isolation chamber, a small, snow-white mouse was walking in a strange posture.

This strong sense of incongruity caused Lü Yongchang's forehead to twitch slightly.

"cough!"

Mao Zhengzhi scratched his head awkwardly: "We fed it some memories about birds."

"As it stands, it probably considers itself a pigeon."

The moment the words left his mouth, the little white mouse jumped up suddenly, and at the same time, it flapped its short forelimbs twice.

Lü Yongchang's forehead twitched again.

If he wasn't mistaken, that should be the action of a pigeon taking off.

Lu Yongchang sighed softly and said, "Let's carry out euthanasia after the observation is over."

Mao Zhengzhi quickly nodded.

"What about the other experimental animals?" Lü Yongchang asked softly.

"cough……"

"So far, only this mouse has passed the experiment." Mao Zhengzhi pulled up an experimental record and showed it to Lü Yongchang. "The mortality rate of the experiment reached 83.1%."

"The rate of serious injuries such as dementia and vegetative state reached 16.8%."

"Don't be fooled by how lively and energetic this little white mouse is now."

"But its intelligence has been severely damaged, and its original memories have become extremely confused." Mao Zhengzhi sighed again. "If it were an intelligent being, it would conservatively be considered to have schizophrenia."

Lu Yongchang's eye twitched again.

Who would dare use such technology?!

"Can it suppress the original consciousness's ability to self-correct false memories?" Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment before asking.

"It's difficult."

Mao Zhengzhi shook his head: "My research over this period of time has made me realize a problem: there are too many mysteries hidden in the consciousness of living beings."

"The technology we currently possess is simply insufficient to interfere with the consciousness of living organisms."
