Chapter 1173: Cold mountain secret

As the so-called "science without borders", in the cold mountain laboratory, the pioneer of brain imaging technology, the nationality has become a dispensable mark, and no one cares.
Yellow, white, black, and even red-skinned Indians are enriched in research institutions with branches on every continent. Except for the core staff of this organization, no one knows where the headquarters of Lengshan Laboratory is.
Like the
evil organization
that is common in various entertainment works, Lengshan Lab is not affiliated with any country, but operates under the support of a mysterious consortium.
It stands to reason that no country in the world will allow this kind of thing to exist on its own land. However, due to the outstanding contribution to the civilian brain-computer interface technology and the publication of its own research and development results, the
selfless dedication
shared with the rest of the world has enabled the Lengshan Laboratory to gain a firm foothold.
- Even if there are concerns about this research institution, the results of this institution are indispensable: if there are no design drawings and experimental data published by the "Lengshan Laboratory", the imaging equipment for civilian brains Development, at least for another ten years, is likely to reach today's level.
For this reason, countries around the world have basically acquiesced in the existence of the Cold Mountain Laboratory.
Of course, acquiescence does not mean that there is no interference at all, and they are also doing some "operations" in the dark.
Even if it is mysterious, the Lengshan Laboratory will eventually be the scientific research institution of the Earth. When selecting and recruiting new talents, it will often
cut corners
directly from top universities or research institutions.
Obviously, this is a good opportunity to spy.
Many of the schoolmasters and the research giants who were seen by the Lengshan Laboratory accepted the tasks of their governments.
Of course, these researchers are not as good at acting as real spies, but the intelligence agencies ask them to do things very simply, as long as they carry special locators and eavesdropping devices into the lab, they are done.
Unfortunately, things do not develop as the intelligence agencies expected. Even the most professional organization in this area, the notorious CIA, failed to get some useful information from the Lengshan lab.
The researchers recruited into the Lengshan Laboratory almost lost all contact with the
outside world
.
All members of this organization lived in a closed life in the laboratory, and it can be said that they gave up everything. Even their family members have never seen these people.
Signal shielding facilities appear to be installed in the laboratory, and the equipment carried by the "spy" has failed immediately after entering the laboratory. In addition to occasionally publishing some scientific research results, any branch of Lengshan Laboratory is usually in a state of isolation.
Realizing that monitoring is impossible through equipment, intelligence agencies can only switch to other methods. They tried to find researchers who left the Cold Mountain Laboratory and got the information available from these populations.
Then they discovered a horrible fact:
- No one left the Cold Mountain Laboratory.
This mysterious laboratory is like a cave of cannibalism, engulfing all the scientists who stepped into it.
From the speed at which the cold potato laboratory announced new results, those researchers should still be alive. But if this is the case, no one has chosen to leave, it is a bit too wrong.
After learning about this situation, many strange rumors began to spread. In Lin Chi’s opinion, the reason for leaving no one is already very obvious:

The things they are studying have an unparalleled appeal that no one can refuse.

Returning to Lin Chi in the real world, sitting on the sofa in the living room and talking to the Frankenstein: "Even if everyone's personality is different, but some things are engraved in human DNA, such as curiosity, or ... the desire for 'eternal life'."
"But there are still many people who commit suicide," Frankenstein said coldly.
"Yes, but survival is the instinct of human beings. The vast majority of suicides choose death because of too much stress, despair or depression. Their death is because they live too painfully, resulting in 'demanding death' greater than The embodiment of 'survival' desire."
Speaking of this, Lin Chi paused for a moment: "But if there is such a place, people can lose all the pressure? They don't have to work hard, they don't have to feed their families, they don't have to worry about disease. With aging, you can choose whatever lifestyle you want. If you are too emptied to live, you only need to turn off your 'switch'..."
"Electronic eternal life." Frankenstein sat next to Lin Chi.
"Yes, I want to say this." Lin nodded. "This is what I and the coach are looking for."
The Lengshan Laboratory, which has developed civilian brain imaging technology, may be more experienced than anyone else in technology such as
conscious uploading
.
In Lin Chi’s view, this organization should not be the mysterious
pulse entertainment company
, but
War Heaven
may also be related to Lengshan Laboratory. If the Cold Mountain Lab is developing awareness uploading technology, the reason why the coach has recently accepted various experiments frequently may be obvious.
"They used the coach as a test and started testing the technology." Lin Chi Shen said: "Perhaps the coach does not have to flee there..."
In the field of brain imaging technology, human science has been stagnant for a long time, and the reason is actually very simple: human trials cannot be performed.
In addition to medical technology allowing experiments on patients, it is extremely difficult for other technologies to perform human experiments. In the early stage of research and development, testing brain-computer interfaces on normal people is undoubtedly a violation of ethical anti-human behavior, and no laboratory will do it.
However, Lengshan Lab can do it.
- For the closed scientific research institution, any "evil experiment" that will be condemned by public opinion can be carried out as desired. After all, no one other than their researcher knew what had happened in the lab, let alone broke the news to the media.
When the Cold Mountain Laboratory just announced the results of civilian brain imaging technology, many people suspected that they had conducted early experiments with living people, but could not find any evidence.
After other scientific research institutions conducted experiments on animals according to their published plans, it took a long time to finally produce real civilian equipment.
Now, before starting the operation, Lin Chi plans to go to the Lengshan lab to find out. As for how to sneak in...
"Can you go in." Lin Chiyan asked the Frankenstein in a concise manner.
"I don't intend to help you." The Frankenstein's answer is also exceptionally intimate, in line with its usual state.
"Don't be proud, I said really." Lin Chi asked: "Is it OK?"
After the previous conversation, the Frankenstein was not so resistant to his purpose. Under Lin Chi’s questioning, this robot, which is trying to become a human being, still gives the answer:
"No."
"is it hard?"
"I can't do it." Frankenstein shook his head.
"Why?" Lin Chi looked at the face of the other glass material.
"I tried to invade the database of Lengshan Lab." Frankenstein said seriously: "There is no channel to enter. They are not connected to the external network. Instead, they use a closed network inside the research institute and there is no access.

"How did the coach contact me?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.
"Maybe because the man is a special experimental product, he can contact the outside world through the network." Frankenstein said his judgment: "There may be only him who can communicate with the outside world in the laboratory. This channel does not need to be opened too much. There can't be anything else, just follow him in."
"I don't think so." Lin Chi chose a comfortable posture and squatted on the sofa: "If this is the case, the coach will not let me help him. There must be any way to get in."
- Even institutions that the US Central Intelligence Agency can't sneak into, relying on their own power to mix in, it sounds ridiculous. However, Lin Chi still noticed a trace of difference.

I remember that the Cold Mountain Lab occasionally opened up to the media for a while, is that right?

"Yes, when they publish the results of the experiment, sometimes the media will be allowed to enter the branch to shoot the video." Frankenstein immediately said what he got: "In general, the official media would not mention their names, they will use 'Research institutions that are composed of fifteen countries.'
"Ok?"
When I heard the clues provided by the Frankenstein, Lin Chi suddenly thought of something. If you remember correctly, you sat here a few months ago and watched the news in the holographic projection...
Lin Chi turned on the TV, searched for the news in the past, and soon found the news that he had seen:
"Today's headlines, a joint research institute of fifteen countries, has successfully created a replaceable artificial heart, marking a new phase in the study of artificial organs."
"BINGO." Lin Chi waved his fist.
He still remembers when he saw this news before, he also discussed the philosophical issues with the Frankenstein. Since this video is probably shot in the Lengshan lab, a closer look may reveal some clues:
What appeared in his sight was a laboratory with white walls, and some staff behind the blue clothes were walking around.
The camera didn't take any strange equipment, only the white walls and the researchers wearing the sterile clothes.
Then, the camera turned to a short-haired female reporter with a good facial expression, and a bald middle-aged man standing next to her.
"We have now produced a high-profile artificial heart and have completed experiments on orangutans. The orangutan transplanted with an artificial heart has a 100% survival rate and no adverse reactions." The man said in English, air Chinese subtitles automatically appear in the middle.
"Where is this accent?" Lin Chi asked.
The Frankenstein searched and immediately concluded: "The cockney accent in the East End of London, the movie star Jason Statham also uses this accent."
"Oh, this product is British, I seem to understand the reason for his baldness." Lin Chi smiled.
"Please be serious." Frankenstein said it in a serious way.
Lin Chi continued to watch the news that he had seen it once, and looked for any new clues that might be valuable in the captured picture:
"Will this artificial heart be officially put into use?" The female reporter asked questions in English.

Even if safety has been determined, we still need to conduct a series of tests before we can start installing artificial hearts on human volunteers.

The researchers carefully explained: "Because the heart is one of the most important organs of humans, the test in this area will be very strict."
At this time, the lens is transferred to a dark red irregular spherical object, and the one placed in the tray that connects the plastic "blood vessel" is the artificial heart created by the research and development team.
"Rather than studying artificial organs, I feel that it is better to upload consciousness directly to the computer." Lin said.
"Unlike you, most humans value the body." The Frankenstein's tone is somewhat low.
"I also need the body to carry out some kind of exercise, you know." Lin Chi looked at the Frankenstein.
"You are disgusting," Frankenstein commented.
"I'm just kidding."
At the same time as the two-person dialogue, the interview continued. In the face of some excited researchers, the reporter once again asked the question: "What is your next research project after completing the artificial heart?"
The researcher standing next to the tray looked at the artificial heart next to him and looked up at the camera. The eyes seemed to be flashing with excitement:
"When the artificial heart project is over, what we are about to start is the final topic of this research group - the production of artificial brains!"

Now, some of the research team is working on the reverse engineering of the human brain to study how the brain works. At the beginning of the artificial brain project, we will fully invest in this research to present the human 'evolution'. The last gift!"
"Don't you worry about ethical issues?" the reporter asked.
"We are not simply replacing the human brain with a rude, but the 'uploading' of human thinking and memory into the artificial brain. This project may take a long time. But we will work hard."
As the bald researcher entered a frenetic state, the interview screen ended, and the next screen switched to the news studio.
"Can you see anything?" Frankenstein said the conclusion: "It's just useless."
"I think they are lying, maybe there is nothing in this interview, but they have also received other interviews."
Having said that, Lin Chi picked up his mobile phone and began to search for news related to "a research institute composed of fifteen countries."
