He had been a little surprised before as to why Shenzhi Heavy Industry's idea of prosthetics was so strange.
The concepts held by his mentor Sally Ruth were already quite correct in Russell's opinion: rely on but not rely on, and use the power of prosthetic bodies without forgetting the reality and indulging in it. However, the idea of the Psychic Heavy Industry is somewhat overcorrected.
In name, it's "performance first", but this kind of statement can only fool ordinary people who don't know how to do it.
Biomimicry has never been a subject that exists just to look good.
If we really want to consider performance, it cannot be completely separated from the human body... For example, the prosthetic hand made by Shenzhi Heavy Industries.
The resident singer that Russell met at the Beehive Nightclub before, the prosthetic hand she used was in the style of Sanshin Heavy Industries. It was a ferocious mechanical flying claw.
It is true that it can fly out directly, grab something and bring people over, and it can also grab lighter things... But this also makes it impossible for it to have a tactile module and a sensing module. In order to specialize in grabbing It improves the gripping ability and improves the success rate of capture. It is naturally difficult for it to complete delicate work that requires division of labor between fingers.
Sanzhi Heavy Industries has another kind of prosthetic hand, which directly removes the fingers and replaces them with pins like a medical robot. Whether it is precision welding or suturing flesh and blood, it is more precise than ordinary fingers. Every minor When fitting a prosthesis for the first time, many people prefer to have it done by experienced prosthetists who use this type of precision prosthetic hand.
Although these days, pure machinery can also complete neural connections, and there is no evidence that humans are more suitable for assembling prosthetics than machinery, but people are always more willing to believe in such professionally modified old technicians, as if this is technology and experience. The perfect combination.
Before this, Russell really thought that this was a marketing routine by Shenzhi Heavy Industry to seize the market in disguise by making customers "look more professional."
But now, Dr. Paradise's words finally made Russell understand what Sanshin Heavy Industries is doing.
Their goal is ultimate specialization.
For ordinary people, this is obviously impossible to do.
It is very normal for ordinary people to change jobs in three to four fields in their lifetime. Very few people can stay in the same industry from birth to death.
But if cyber immortality is completed, then this will be different.
When people come out of the virtual world and work for the "real people", they will not stay in the real world for a long time and will be released after working for a short period of time.
The reason why Shenzhi Heavy Industries has always been opposed to artificial prosthetics is because they do not want people to be able to feel "alive" again through prosthetics. They do not want people to be able to live the same life as before being uploaded after being downloaded again.
For ordinary people, if returning to reality is no longer a hard job, but a rare time to relax, then the virtual world will become another prison.
"...Before this, I thought cyber immortality was a good thing."
The "Detective" sighed, with genuine sadness on his face: "I once really believed in that kind of thing."
Two tears of compassion gradually fell from his face. The white light blooming on his body suddenly became brighter.
This time, his sadness was real, not staged.
Long before Russell came to this world, he once believed that only cyber immortality and mind uploading could solve all problems in reality, that is, putting real problems outside reality to solve. To achieve true equality, everyone becomes a
Data, this is absolute equality in the nature of existence.
This is also the reason why he has such a natural affinity for the Cyber Church... For Russell, the Cyber Church can also be regarded as his fellow traveler.
But now after hearing the news, he suddenly realized the crux of the problem.
The problem is not about cyber immortality and mind uploading...
The real problem is that the server that houses the "soul" is not under the control of the individual. And it never will be... because it cannot satisfy everyone's wishes.
Even if everyone uploads to the server, the server itself still needs to be maintained. In the end, a group of people will still need to be downloaded to maintain the server... And as long as someone can control the server, it means that they can control these uploaded thoughts.
These "first batch of downloaded" humans can do whatever they want with these "souls".
For those who have not yet been downloaded, these human beings who can control other people's consciousness are actually gods who can decide everything. The only thing that can stop these gods from doing whatever they want is illusory "morality" and "self-esteem."
"Don't be like this, detective..."
Although Dr. Paradise also knew that this old friend was indeed prone to tears.
But after more than ten years of separation, when we met again and saw him crying out of compassion again, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
The old man sighed: "There is nothing wrong with technology, what is wrong is the greed of people.
"I believe that the vast majority of people in the church are working hard to achieve eternal happiness in the 'Holy Scripture' server."
"Of course, I also believe that...if they receive a notice asking them to return to reality to complete some short-term tasks that robots cannot complete, they will definitely accept it."
The detective sighed slowly: "When people truly live in a comfortable and happy world, their anger and evil thoughts will gradually be eliminated. After they have been satisfied, they will want to help others... so labor becomes
A kind of happiness.
"But when everyone is kind, the only person with evil intentions can control the fate of these people at will. People living inside the server cannot make any feedback to the outside world... In a sense, they are
Imprisoned forever."
Even if it is an infinite moon reading, at least I can still have a body in reality.
If there is true cyber immortality, the body must be abandoned. The remaining body will be used as a precious material for production or research.
“…But I certainly wouldn’t say it’s a technical issue.
"If people can download their real bodies again, or when they download their consciousness, they can truly perceive the real world... When people have the power to enter the cyber world at any time, they also have the ability to escape from the cyber world at any time.
Only this can be regarded as true, free and eternal life."
"But that's impossible."
Hangzhou interrupted coldly: "As long as one person chooses to betray, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
"Now it seems that the traitor has appeared. But the church...heh. It seems that the church has not looked back."
he said sarcastically.
It is well known that the purpose of Theosophical Heavy Industries is to control all human beings through cyber immortality and turn living humans into livestock resources, but the church has not terminated their cooperation and is still relying on Theosophical Heavy Industries to research this technology.
This shows that either the church's concept of cyber immortality is not pure, or they have long been prepared to backstab the Theosophical Heavy Industry.
"No matter what, the church is nowhere near clean.
"In the final analysis, the church is just another more 'idol' company. A company that makes a living by selling dreams and hopes."
Hangzhou made no secret of his dissatisfaction and disgust with the church, as well as his suspicion of the detective.
He stared at the detective and said word by word: "What angels and priests...are just idiots who help others do evil, or they are just hypocritical villains."
The detective raised his head and looked at Strangler.
The tears on the middle-aged man's face have not yet disappeared, and his eyes are still so compassionate, as if he can see through the fragility and sadness in his heart.
This kind of gaze made Hangzhou extremely hateful. Just by being looked at, he felt like he could no longer suppress the murderous intention in his heart.
"Then, strangulation..."
The fallen angel who had lost his halo asked softly: "What do your master and godfather think?
