The human brain is the material structural basis of its thinking and memory.
It is a neural network formed after nerve cells communicate with each other through axons and dendrites and transmit information.
Each synapse on this complex network can store approximately 4.7 bits of information.
The world is changing dynamically, and so are humans.
Nerve cells in the human brain neural network will continue to have new synapses formed and old synapses will continue to disappear.
Especially when humans are stimulated by the outside world, the number of synapses formed and lost will suddenly increase.
These synapses usually only exist for a few hours, while others exist for a long time and may become fixed to form new neural circuits.
When the neural circuits change enough, the neural network constructed from them will also change significantly.
Therefore, the memory, thinking and consciousness that exist based on this network will also undergo major changes.
Only the total amount of information stored in the human brain will remain relatively unchanged.
As for the total amount of information storage in the entire human brain, the so-called 'hard drive capacity', it is approximately 910TB.
1TB is equal to 8589934592 bits.
Therefore, the total amount of information that can be stored in the human brain is 7816840478720 bits.
That is, about 780 billion bits.
On this basis, there are approximately 100,000 concepts that humans can master in various specific fields of knowledge.
This so-called 'concept' can be a person, thing, scene, text, number...etc.
For example, top chess masters can memorize and master about 100,000 chess games.
For another example, Shakespeare's vocabulary is about 29,000, and the meanings that these words can express happen to be close to 100,000.
So, is the information storage capacity of the human brain considered large?
The answer is, not much.
In comparison, the information storage density of a single-stranded RNA virus is two billion bits per gram.
In other words, the total amount of information stored in just one gram of a single-stranded RNA virus is more than 2,500 times that of a human brain, which weighs an average of 1,500 grams.
The micro-level structural design of the new human beings who have undergone whole-brain transformation with nanoneurons is based on single-stranded RNA viruses, and has been greatly optimized on this basis, increasing its information capacity by nearly four times.
Thousand times.
Therefore, the total information storage capacity of the new human's mechanical brain, even just one gram, will be 10 million times that of the old human brain.
There is such a huge difference in just one gram, and the common weight of the new human brain... is 3000 grams, which is twice the average weight of the old human brain.
Therefore, we do not even mention the new human elites of the 'giant brain' type or the 'multi-core' type who have switched to mental work.
The total amount of information storage in the mechanical brain of just one most ordinary new human individual is enough to rival tens of billions of human brains in the old era.
At the same time, the total computing power of the old human brain was approximately hundreds to quadrillion times per second. If a certain degree of redundancy is added, it can be roughly calculated to tens of quadrillion times per second.
As for the new human beings who are artificially transformed and 'born' based on the old humans, the computing power of their mechanical brains is about... one billion trillion times per second.
And after having such powerful memory and computing power, as well as sub-light neuron information transmission speed.
The new humans, whose intelligence has undergone an astonishing transformation, have exploded insights, analytical abilities, and creative abilities that are so powerful that they would stun the old humans to a terrifying level.
If we have to describe this terrifying gap in intelligence between the new and old humans, we can only use the term "superhuman upheaval" to roughly describe it.
The so-called drastic change in Superman means that with the accelerated development of science and technology, human technology will reach a critical point.
Once this critical point is 'crossed', super-intelligent entities such as strong artificial intelligence, super network intelligence, and deep human-machine integration will be born in human civilization.
And this type of super-intelligent agent will quickly strengthen itself once it is born, eventually opening a new era.
At that time, all the rules of the old human era will be completely ineffective and completely meaningless.
As for the fate of the old humans in the new era, whether they will become extinct or rise to the top, it all depends on the thoughts of these super-intelligent entities.
Although the so-called "superhuman transformation" concept is just a vague vision of the future of old human civilization.
But this explosive leap in intelligence of the new humans does indeed make the old humans... almost no different from chimpanzees.
Therefore, it is natural for the new humans to regard themselves as a new and advanced species that is different from the old humans.
All the ethics, morals, and rules belonging to the old era are completely ineffective in the new humanity.
And everything about the old humanity has been abandoned by the new humanity.
Including, the carbon-based flesh and blood body of old humans.
About seventy centuries in the future from where Mu Cang is currently standing, all new humans who have completely completed brain transformation have basically completed their entire brain transformation within just a few hours to a few days.
One hundred percent cybernetic mechanization of the body.
The reason why they are so decisive is because the new humans have a very clear understanding.
Compared with fragile carbon-based bodies, only mechanical bodies can carry their vision of setting foot on the stars and sea, and their desire for immortality.
Although the mechanical body is not immune to damage, once it breaks, it can be easily repaired or replaced by external forces.
You can find professional tools anywhere to disassemble the body, repair the deformed parts to their original state, and replace the parts that cannot be repaired with new ones.
In comparison, the flesh and blood body is much more delicate, and it is also very troublesome to transform. If you are not careful, your life may be in danger, or there may be unknown mutations.
Even if in-depth genetic modification is carried out, there will still be risks and hidden dangers that are difficult to determine.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What is particularly important is that the speed of individual genetic evolution can never be compared with the technological progress of the group.
In this harsh materialistic universe without any miracles, if we compare the growth rate and content replacement rate of a civilization's total information volume with the growth and replacement rate of genome information of a single biological individual, it is obvious that the former is far superior to the latter.
of.
More importantly, the lifespan of a flesh and blood body has its limit after all, and it is impossible to live forever.
In short, in that turbulent era of alternation between the old and the new, artificial limbs, artificial organs, alloy skeletons, extracorporeal brains, magnetic hand knives, electrodynamic muscles, high-energy lasers, multispectral prosthetic eyes, multispectral ear vortices, and interthroat sound waves
Cannons, nanomechanical insect nests, miniature antimatter engines, in-arm particle laser cannons, kinetic energy vector deflection skins, abdominal micro-drone pads, external armed mechas, controllable interstellar ships... all kinds or large
Or a mechanical plug-in with small functions and powerful functions, turning each new human being into a humanoid Gundam that can split mountains, cut seas, fly into the sky, escape from the ground, break the speed of sound, even hypersonic speed or even sub-light speed, and single-handedly kill through the modern nuclear-armed society.
.
At the same time, while possessing such superhuman strength, the new humans have not lost the hormonal feelings of the old humans.
They can also enjoy the various hormonal stimulations brought by food, wine, tobacco, coffee, sports, sex and other things or activities, as well as the happiness, comfort and excitement generated by these stimulations.
And thanks to the help of high technology, the various hormones existing in the new human mechanical body are also artificial technological products that have already been deeply modified.
Therefore, these hormone-like products, which have been stripped of all kinds of negative effects, can be fully enjoyed by new humans without having to bear any disadvantages.
As for those old humans who were unwilling to undergo brain transformation or body mechanization from beginning to end, they were quickly and overwhelmingly defeated by the new human group in a pan-solar human civil war that represented the 'battle between the old and the new'.
Already.
After receiving this humiliating defeat, some of the old humans who are willing to undergo brain modification will still have the opportunity to fall into the arms of the new humanity and become one of them.
However, if the old human individuals adhere to fundamentalist ideas such as "flesh and blood are the real human beings" and are still stubborn and unwilling to accept transformation, they can only accept the cruel physical extermination of the new human group.
Under the high-energy laser beam, they all turned into invisible vapor.
But apart from these two, there are also some lucky people from the old humans who escaped to the distant Kuiper Belt, settled here and survived, surviving day by day.
And the new humans who quickly got rid of the old humans and then fully absorbed all the 'legacy' of the human civilization of the old era on Earth and Planet developed a momentum that can be adjusted by electric fields in just half a month.
The sub-light speed spacecraft - the Swimmer spacecraft - exchanges the momentum of ionized particles in the interstellar space medium to generate strong propulsion.
Not only can this kind of spacecraft easily reach 90% of the speed of light in vacuum, its overall structure is also simpler and purer.
More importantly, the Swimmer spacecraft is easier to slow down than all previous types of aircraft.
This also means that it has greater convenience.
After 'seeing' the future at this stage, Mu Cang stopped observing.
"Just using deductions to 'see' the future is a bit dry, so it would be better... to experience it for yourself."
With this thought in mind, He raised his right hand and waved it gently.
Buzz——
Suddenly, this huge three-dimensional universe with an unknown number of billions of light-years in diameter rushed towards the "future" at an extremely fast speed.
Hua Hua Hua——
With the fierce change of time, the scene around Mu Cang was like a palette that had been knocked over in an instant, and suddenly became a colorful mixture that was difficult to distinguish.
All kinds of blurry and chaotic color blocks and turbid currents are flying in large areas up and down the universe, constantly churning and surging.
Mu Cang, on the other hand, stood alone in this extremely chaotic scene, waiting leisurely.
Waiting for the future to come.
Yes, He accelerated the time of the entire universe just to observe or appreciate more closely the civilization of the Earth and the stars that will exist more than sixty centuries later.
call--
Just a moment later, the arrow of time that was "fast forwarding" under Mu Cang's will was stopped in one second.
The "timetable" of the solar system has also passed through 6,700 years and arrived at 8,800 AD.
No, it's Ren Lian Li for two hundred years.
Swish——
The air rippled, and a thirty-meter-long small silver-white shuttle-shaped spacecraft slowly landed on the vast parking platform thousands of meters in front of Mu Cang.
Mu Cang remembered that more than 6,000 years ago, it was a busy commercial district with many shops and buildings.
Now, after a long time, it has turned into an empty tarmac.
"The power of time is so interesting. After time flies..."
Mu Cang looked around, and when he saw the vast expanses of green grass and undulating valleys, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The sea can also turn into mulberry fields."
These natural landscapes are very beautiful at first glance.
But in fact, it is a ‘pseudoscape’ composed of endless nanomachines.
Of course, saying 'fake' is a bit much.
Because the landscape composed of green grass and trees all over the mountains and plains is essentially a nano-scale artificial creation.
But with the new humanity's cutting-edge technology, they still have all the functions that "pseudo-scenery" should have.
Photosynthesis, purifying air, regulating moisture, fixing water and soil, stabilizing ecology... and other functions, these nanomachines can all do it.
And it will be better than real trees and green plants.
But this is not the real function of these nanomachines.
Its main function or purpose is residential entertainment, scientific research and spaceship maintenance.
In other words, it is a piece of ‘architecture’ hidden under the natural landscape.
Clang!
Accompanied by bursts of mechanical superposition sounds coming from the front, the spaceship parked on the platform suddenly opened dozens of gaps regularly in its "belly and waist".
The gap grew bigger and bigger, and then it directly cracked and melted into a huge hole two meters square.
From the 'hole' that glowed with bright blue light, dozens of mechanical tentacles buzzed softly, lifting a strong torso without a head and limbs, and slowly stretched it to a height of one meter above the ground.
Then, there were five more long mechanical tentacles, each carrying two arms, two legs and a male head, extending from the five holes in the front, rear, left, right and center of the silver spacecraft above the 'human stick'.
And with the help of other tentacles, the head, arms and legs were inserted and installed one by one on the bare broken neck, under the shoulders and the gap between the hips and hips of the 'Human Stick'.
As a result, this new human being immediately became physically sound.
“Fun way to drive.”
This scene of a bunch of "broken limbs" erupting from the spacecraft and then reassembled into a healthy human being is indeed a bit scary.
But Mu Cang in the distance knew it clearly.
This is the way of flying spaceships that is popular among new human groups in the 88th century AD.
They like to dismantle their bodies into several parts and put them into the ship, then connect their sensory perceptions to the main system of the ship, and finally fly the ship from a first-person perspective.
