Chapter 799 The experiment begins
Zhang Yuan sighed, "Your civilization sometimes has more courage than us. Perhaps we know too much, so we are often worried about gains and losses. On the contrary, the experts on your side joined this plan without hesitation."
Andofu said: "Life and death...the topic is too complicated. If you can better study mathematics, there is nothing you can do not want to do. It can be considered as giving your own everything for your faith."
Zhang Yuan suddenly thought about something and said, "However, Professor Cardoft, after modifying his thinking, your awareness of race may fade a lot. Even if the experiment is successful, it is impossible to leave the laboratory for a while."
Professor Cardoft was the highest-ranking person in the Glitzer civilization and established many foundations to help the tribe. His departure was equivalent to missing pillars in the tribe.
The pangolin shook his head and said, "Oh...this is nothing...I think this price is acceptable. Our tribesmen can only rely on themselves in the end. I believe that without me, there is no special relationship."
"Yes, your idea is very correct." Zhang Yuan said: "A normal race can operate normally without anyone else, and we humans are the same."
As we chatted like this, everyone's nervous mood gradually faded. At 8 o'clock in the morning, it was finally time for the experiment.
Fourteen testers lay in a special instrument. After Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and connected various instruments, his self-awareness was quickly uploaded to a virtual world.
He is the only one in this virtual world host, but he can sense the outside world through a special machine. The atmosphere in the Unreal Laboratory is very depressing, and every worker is carefully observing the parameters on the screen and performing the final proofreading work.
In fact, there is no need to operate too much. All preparations have been completed in advance in decades, and the computer will automatically perform most of the steps.
They just need to pay attention to several key data.
"Are everyone ready?" Professor Yamamoto took a deep breath.
"No problem." Everyone replied.
"The new human project has officially begun!"
Zhang Yuan felt darkness in front of him in the next second, and then he fell into a coma.
Thinking modification is a very meticulous process, which is somewhat similar to memory indoctrination. The main risk is thinking collapse, memory loss, or self-consciousness dissipation... After all, humans have not yet cracked the real mystery of self-consciousness. They just use the black box system to solve another black box problem.
About every 10% of the progress completed, all experimenters will wake up once, report their current state of thought, detect psychological conditions, and then select the next thinking module.
Zhang Yuan is naturally the main reporter of this experiment. Memory will not dissipate during the transformation. Knowing the cognitive changes before and after, it can accurately report more effective information.
Time passes day by day, and because of the extremely complexity of this project, only 2% of the progress can be completed every day.
When the completion rate reached 46%, two failed cases occurred;
When it reached 72%, three more failed cases...
After finally achieving a 100% completion rate, 9 successful people...!
There are 7 humans in total and 2 Glitzers.
As the first complete transformation experiment, the success rate of 64% is already considered good. All the staff inside the Unreal Laboratory are nervous and a little looking forward to it, waiting for the awakening of these transformationists.
...
Zhang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his mind was clear, and his whole body seemed to be soaring in the air, floating lightly.
After a few minutes, he began to slowly recover his mind.
He suddenly heard a sentence outside. A girl said happily outside: "Professor Zhang is awake! It's great. The first awakened person appeared. Professor Zhang, how do you feel at the moment?"
"I feel... very good! Now it feels like lying on a ball of cotton."
The female doctor was shocked and asked quickly: "I feel like I'm lying on the cotton? Why?"
"I don't know why this feeling is happening. It is slowly disappearing... it feels normal."
Zhang Yuan is checking his physical condition. Since his thinking was uploaded, he is still in the virtual world. His body is in the shape of a human and his appearance has not changed, but there are no more physiological activities such as heartbeat or pulse.
He has abandoned his body and transformed into a digital form of life.
"Do you still feel now? I have observed that all your parameters and indicators are good."
He felt really good, his thinking was clear, and his mental state was also good...or he had never been so optimistic and open-minded, and he was full of hope for the prospects of mankind.
Level 5 civilization...it seems like it's just around the corner!
Zhang Yuan asked: "How are the results of the experiment?"
"From the results, 9 people succeeded, and 5 people failed... You were the first to wake up, and they were all in consciousness adaptation."
"Have you failed 5 people..."
A hint of lament flashed in Zhang Yuan's heart. He still retained these negative emotions. He looked at the list of losers and sighed secretly. These were once famous people, but they sacrificed their lives like this.
The girl said: "If you have the energy now, I will give you a politically inclined question. Please answer it seriously."
"Okay, no problem."
A large screen appeared in front of Zhang Yuan's eyes, and the information was still transmitted visually. In fact, it is not impossible to directly transmit the information to your mind, but in the beginning, you must be cautious if you can be cautious. These non-core functions are not very important and can be improved in the future.
Political tendency is an important part of ideology. In sociology, it is divided into many opposites such as social constructivism and essentialism, restorative justice and punitive justice, progressiveism and conservatism, internationalism and nationalism, communism and capitalism, normativeism and laissez-faire, ecologicalism and productionism, revolution and reformism, etc.
In a certain ideology, there are a large number of different branches, left-leaning, right-leaning, etc.
After modifying the thinking, the political tendencies of some individuals may undergo a very big change. For example, democratic socialism may transform into national socialism or into scientific socialism.
After completing this question, Zhang Yuan found that his political tendency did not change much, and he shifted about 17.9 percentage points in the coordinate plane. This is indeed not a big number.
The main reason is that his original thinking is not much different from the current one. A large part of the thinking framework is provided by him, so it has a certain overlap.
“The findings… are in line with expectations.”
"Please complete this psychological survey again."
The main content of this psychological report is the psychological tendencies of the experimenters and anti-social investigations.
In order to avoid some unknown troubles, the new thinking framework temporarily defines traditional concepts such as men and women, but the distinction between them has been greatly diluted.
After all, this is just the first generation of thinking modification plan, and it can still be modified from generation to generation later.
It also investigated whether you have appetite, whether you want to sleep, whether you have preferred colors, your favorite books, which kind of opposite sex you like, etc.
One authoritative experts in this area came up to ask one by one. Zhang Yuan spent almost a day answering it one by one screen.
“Don’t you want to eat anymore?”
"I can't be sure, I can eat it or not. I won't feel uncomfortable."
In the virtual world, you can debug a beautiful meal, and Zhang Yuan can still enjoy delicious food, which is similar to the electronic hormones of hemisphere civilization.
