Chapter 1183: "The third magic"

Upon receiving the information provided by the coach, Lin Chi immediately opened the document and read the contents.
What appeared this time was not a professional academic report, but a private letter.
Under the influence of the automatic translation software, this email written in English was all converted into Chinese. However, some of these abbreviations are still unconvertible:
"Write to dear"
"Who is it?" Lin Chi asked the coach.
"I don't know." The coach answered Lin Chi's question with a mobile phone speaker: "This is not important, please read on."
Lin Chi stared at the text slowly scrolling on the screen, and the contents of the letter began to enter his brain.
He quickly realized that the weight of the letter he was reading could be said to be "heavy":
I haven't seen you for a long time, my best friend. How are you doing recently?
Maybe in your eyes, I was the weak boy of the year. Now if we can meet, you will definitely be scared, my body is unprecedentedly healthy, the legs that could not be moved, can now run as much as you can.
All of this is the blessing of the exoskeleton developed by Lengshan Laboratory. Thank you for introducing me to this institution. Although you have not passed the assessment, and ... my letter should never be read by you.
This letter can't be sent.
I live in the lab, like everyone else here, I am not allowed to leave the lab and I can't send any emails.
Very strict rules, right? I used to think so, but when it comes to our research, it doesn't matter at all.
It is no exaggeration to say that the work that my colleagues in the lab are doing can definitely be described by the word "great"!
The Cold Mountain Laboratory is a fully-recognized institution that can change the destiny of mankind. Because what we have to do is to break through the shackles of life and death, and let the human beings living in this world usher in true eternity!
A long time ago, when my legs were still inoperable, I used to watch an animation at home. It was a very esoteric work in which the so-called "third magic" was mentioned.
I know that you are going to laugh at my childishness, but the "third magic" really attracted me at the time. Until now, I still remember the contents of it, remember clearly:
- By materializing the human soul, it is the so-called "third magic" that makes people truly immortal.
At that time, as a disabled person, it was the time when I was pessimistic. In my opinion, I should never be able to stand up. I could only sit in a wheelchair and spend my whole life with the useless legs with muscles shrinking.
However, the concept of the third magic, let me see a glimmer of hope.
As Mr. Arthur Clarke said: "Anything that is sufficiently advanced is no different from magic at first glance." The speed of human technology development is changing with each passing day. If one day, I can live to see the technology like "third magic", then not only the disabled legs, I don't even need to use this disgusting body!
To tell you the truth, what we are studying now is the way to "materialize" the human soul.
Of course, unlike magical magic, our approach is more complicated. To be exact, we are studying human consciousness.
Now, whether it is a biologist, a neurologist, a psychologist, or even a philosopher who stays in the library all day long. Everyone is being plagued by the same problem, which is also the "ultimate problem" of mankind.
- Why does human consciousness exist? Does "soul" really exist?
Biologists who study the structure of the brain have vowed to show that the so-called soul is just a lie in the old human fantasy of ignorance and ignorance.
In their view, once the brain dies, the human consciousness will be the same as all other vital functions of the body.
They have carried out cruel experiments on living people, and by stimulating certain parts of the brain through electric current, they can give the subject a variety of hallucinations, including even the common "soul out" illusion.
Some people feel that they are floating and seeing their bodies through the perspective of
third person
. Some people feel that they are passing through a tunnel full of light, and even see their dead relatives.
These biologists succeeded in simulating the near-death experience before human death, and then proved their theory: the so-called "soul" is just an illusion, something that can be created by current stimulation.
However, unlike their research direction, our research does not involve
how to change consciousness through external means
, but goes to another field – at least originally.
Read this, you will probably feel funny? After all, Lengshan Lab is a pioneer in civilian brain imaging technology, and intracerebral imaging technology is the proof of changing consciousness through external means. but……
you are wrong.
Intracranial imaging techniques and equipment are just an episode in our research. The reason why we will announce this technology in 2029 is only one reason:
This technology is completely irrelevant for us. Just like the engineers who used to invent the microwave oven during the radar test in the last century, it was just a useless little thing.
No, to be exact, the brain imaging device is not completely useless, and it confirms the research goals of the Lengshan Laboratory. It's just that it works too simple and doesn't touch deeper areas.
Read this, you will probably start complaining?
Sorry, I won't sell any more. What I want to say next is the real content of our research:
- You also know that the Cold Mountain Lab is supported by the mysterious consortium to complete the secret plan. In fact, the so-called "mystery consortium" appears in the headlines of the media every day, and everyone in the world who has access to the Internet knows their names.
Yes, almost all the famous Internet technology companies you can think of are the investors of Lengshan Lab.
As for why they don't research on their own, but invest in such a seemingly suspicious research institution, the reason is very simple:
The research direction of Lengshan Laboratory sounds too ridiculous. Investors who don't have any "normal brains" will vote for a penny on this project.
For this sound that is ridiculous, even a "crazy" project, Internet technology companies also need the closed institutions of Lengshan Lab to carry out inhuman danger experiments.
As for the project we are researching... Now, I will name the project:
- Editing and controlling the built-in programs of the human brain.
I know that you are probably laughing now, and then saying that this kind of thing is completely impossible. But what I want to say is that something that sounds impossible, actually exists!
You may have to say: "Consciousness is nothing but attachment to the brain. The brain is like a computer, and consciousness is a computer program. Once the computer is destroyed, the program will cease to exist."
Then I ask you: Who wrote these programs?
The baby in the fall, the brain is like a newly bought computer, and even the system has not been installed. How did it start to generate consciousness?
According to the conclusions of the Cold Mountain Laboratory over the years, all of us have actually built things like "programs" in our brains. It is because of this that consciousness exists.
For example, we are all robots made by a certain "programmer". For the normal operation of our body, everyone has pre-installed some programs at birth.
What Lengshan Lab has to do is to parse these programs and... find ways to control these programs or transfer them.
