In Longland, the capital of the Great Kingdom, researchers at the Gats Computational Neuroscience Center were busy.
At this moment, Grand Wei changed his slack in the past and was staring at the busy machine in front of him.
Wei built a new simulated human memory model based on the Hopfield neural network model, but Wei had two choices.
The first was to continue to improve the model and further strengthen the computing power of the artificial intelligence system.
The second was to use the human memory model as a reference to realize the reproduction and storage of memory by machines.
The second choice might sound a little far-fetched, but it was more appealing. Wei chose the second direction without hesitation.
However, if he wanted to realize the compilation of the memory model by the machine, so as to achieve the storage of the memory, he needed continuous testing, and it might not be realized in a lifetime.
The storage of memory was completely different from the traditional optical disc information storage.
The storage principle of an optical disc was nothing more than smearing a special organic dye on the substrate for the laser to record information.
When the disc was being burned, the laser will burn the organic dye coated on the substrate, and directly burned it into "pits" one after another.
In this way, the states with "pit" and no "pit" formed signals of "0" and "1".
This series of "0" and "1" information constituted a binary code to represent specific data. And the information formed by such data was also fixed.
It can be understood that the disc stores only fragments of memory, which were "dead".
The storage of memory was not only equivalent to the collection of all memory fragments, because such fragments would continue to be superimposed over time, which required a container that could hold all memories and created new ones.
As technical madmen, how to make such a container was what Wei and his partner Perney were most concerned about.
Through preliminary research and development, the Gats Computational Neuroscience Center had been able to scale down artificial intelligence systems, transforming each artificial intelligence system into the size of a human brain without compromising computing power.
However Wei and Perney wanted to go a step further.
They planned to use the computing power of a computer to simulate the beating frequency of neurons in the human brain, store this part of the data, and finally use computer language to burn and encapsulate it on a memory chip.
If the chip was installed on the robot, the robot could realize the reproduction of even just a moment's memory, which would be a great progress.
However, there was a precondition for this. It took a volunteer to install a device in the brain to connect with the artificial intelligence system, and then keep his brain continuously excited by strong stimulation, so that the system could better capture the relevant information of the neuron response.
Although experiments with humans were prohibited in various countries, this kind of thing could not be completely banned. The laboratory actually recruited a volunteer without knowing what method it used.
He might not know what will happen to him in the future. Wei looked at the man who was tied to the experimental chair, covered with detectors, and looked around curiously to say hello to the assistants.
Wei could only wish him good luck in his heart and lament his devotion to science.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
After the experiment started, Perney next to Wei looked at the fast-running intelligent system, and then instructed the assistants below to increase the stimulation of the man, otherwise the neuron's response was not obvious enough to hinder the data collection.
"Hurry up! Increase the current." Perney continued to shout down.
As a result, the assistant increased the current to the maximum, and the man in the experimental chair began to tremble violently at this moment due to the huge electric shock, and the neuronal response of the brain became more and more intense.
"Yes!Yes! That's it." Perney stared excitedly at the experiment below. As the beating frequency of neurons became faster and faster, the calculation speed became faster and the computer captured more and more signals.
Seeing the pained expression of the man downstairs, Wei couldn't bear it. He frowned and hesitated for a while, and finally reminded Perney, "The man below seems to be dying, why don't you stop first."
"The progress of science always requires sacrifice, and God will bless him." Perney waved his hand to Wei nonchalantly, stared at the entire experiment, and continued to shout to his assistant, "Quick! Continue!"
In the end, with the continuous impact of the current, the man in the experimental chair twitched for a while and then stopped completely.
The artificial intelligence system also slowly stopped computing. It seems that the data had been collected. The next step was to see how to encapsulate the data into the memory chip.
"Dr. Perney, the volunteer below is dead." The assistant whispered uneasy in Perney's ear.
"It's a sacrifice. I'll stress it again that he's sacrificed. Take him away. Someone will take care of the rest. Now we need the next volunteer who is willing to devote himself to science, so you must find him quickly." Perney said nonchalantly.
Then, Perney called on Wei to process the data together. Looking at the data samples displayed on the big screen and the memory model simulated by the data, Wei carefully operated the machine, burned the data on the chip and packaged it.
Wei held his breath. When the cover that encapsulated the chip finally fell down and the chip lit up green, Wei couldn't help but sighed in relief, and it was done.
"It's done, Dr. Wei!" Perney hugged Wei excitedly.
Wei quickly broke free. Perney liked to stay in the laboratory without taking a bath, so he didn't like the smell on his body.
"It's just encapsulating the data into the chip. We have to test whether the chip can run and whether it can restore the memory fragment just now." Looking at the chip in his hand, Wei was a little nervous, but he was also looking forward to it.
"Come on. Let's try." After speaking, Perney and Wei inserted the chip into the artificial intelligence system that was scaled down to the size of a human mind.
Then the two held their breaths, staring at the entire system, afraid of missing a single detail.
After the chip was inserted, the entire system began to rotate quickly and silently. The green light in the chip also jumped wildly, and then the entire system burst into light and projected it into the air.
The light became more and more obvious, and finally formed a light blue light curtain, but what appeared was only a blank space.
Wei and Perney stared at the light curtain for a while, but nothing came out. It really wasn't like this.
After turning off the machine, Perny patted Wei on the shoulder, "Dr. Wei, scientific progress lies in experimentation. Let us thank the volunteer just now for his sacrifice, and we must welcome the next volunteer right away."
With a sigh, Wei said to Perney: "I think it should be possible to store or transfer our human memory, but how to do it? I always feel that there is a barrier that we can't touch. Is there such a rule that we humans can't break through now? Or is it because of our lack of cognition that we can't touch this rule?"
"Dr. Wei, the end of science is theology. This is the benefit of having faith. We believe in God, so everything has a reasonable explanation. The universe is so subtle, for it must be God's will." After that, Perney shrugged.
Perney is not necessarily wrong. The greats such as Newton and Einstein finally believed that there must be an almighty God in charge of everything in the universe.
Newton once asked what could exist where there was no matter? Where did the gravitational pull of the sun and planets come from? Why was everything in the universe in order? What was the role of planets? Were animal eyes designed according to optical principles? Wasn't there a creator in the universe?
In the end, Newton concluded that although science failed to give us an immediate understanding of the origin of all things, it led us to the God of all things.
The "God" that Newton and Einstein thought did not only refer to the kind of God in the religious sense, but more likely to refer to the original rules in the universe, which controlled everything, and in a sense it was "God".
This kind of "God" rule was something that humans could touch? Wei was a little unsure, but he wanted to try it.
Looking at the entire history of human society, wasn't it all that way?
Although the progress was slow, the rules could always be discovered bit by bit. In general, the process was tortuous and the road was ascending.
Back in the dormitory, Wei turned on his computer and browsed the emails he had recently received, and found that Lam had sent him an email.
When he opened it, he saw the question sent by Lam. Wei thought about it before answering it.
Finally, he shared the results of today's experiment and his thoughts on the experiment.
