Chapter 1294: Superhuman Project

We still have a grandson, we found a daughter-in-law for him, and she is a Mist Person.

Mist Person?

Yunxiao searched his mind for related information, but the information he found was scarce.

This information is obviously being deliberately concealed.

It's a Mist Person.

Our grandson is called Yang Ping'an; according to him, he married a Mist Person only after receiving advice from the old man.

Through our relentless efforts, we have also researched a large amount of technology from our grandson's wife.

Now the Yang Family is, based on these technologies, carrying out more profound research.

This research might be of some help to you.

This is part of the data; take a look.

Saying this, Yang Fan transmitted a stream of information over.

Yunxiao directly received it in his mind.

When the information was processed by the auxiliary system, what appeared before him was an astonishing project.

Superhuman Project?

Using biological computer technology, quantum computer technology, optical computer technology, new semiconductor computer technology, and the respective characteristics of the human brain, we conduct deep integration to form a new super brain.

This plan is too astonishing; if it can be realized, humanity will undergo earth-shaking changes.

It lacks bodily transformation, only the brain; if we simultaneously transform the whole body, humanity will undergo unparalleled changes.

Superhuman, this name is very well chosen.

He began to wildly simulate in his mind the development prospects of this technology.

He found it to be infinite.

Humanity seems to have found a way to drive its own rapid evolution.

That is, continuously synchronizing humanity's cutting-edge technology and feeding it back onto the human body itself, allowing humanity's fragile physique to keep pace with the times.

In that case, a purely mechanical civilization would appear too narrow.

Afterward, he thought of another possibility.

Yang Fan, Qihang, if we incorporate the upload/download technology I mentioned into this.

Could it, to some extent, achieve human immortality?

When the brain gradually ages, using other computing technologies, we copy as much as possible the consciousness fluctuations in the brain, briefly transferring the consciousness to the integrated brain.

Then we replace the cloned brain, and then download the consciousness from the integrated brain into the new brain.

In this way, wouldn't that be immortality?

Yunxiao's words gave them a reminder.

We can also play it like this!

This really might be feasible; at least the direction should be correct.

If possible, can the old man's side do it too?

Yang Qihang stopped his wild speculation.

The old man is now hiding very secretly; we don't know where he is.

Now it's no longer something we can control.

I guess he probably won't agree to this.

After all, immortality, whether it's a blessing or a curse for humanity, no one can say for sure.

There is another big problem: as the population grows ever larger, resource consumption also grows ever larger.

If humanity loses the ability to metabolize, who can feed so many people?

Will we be dragged down by ourselves?

Immortalism currently seems highly impractical; moreover, the research on the integrated brain cannot be completed in a short period—it requires humanity's overall computing technology to continually evolve to be realized. Today's quantum computers each exceed one cubic meter; how could we fit them into a human body?

Afterward, he looked toward Yunxiao.

What we said might be useful to you, not in this way; we mean that this integrated brain might also allow Intelligent Bodies to take residence.

An integrated brain with the human brain as its core is naturally human; an integrated brain with new semiconductor as its core and other components as auxiliary is naturally an Intelligent Body.

But they share a superhuman body.

Perhaps the barriers and boundaries between humanity and Intelligent Bodies will become insignificant.

Just that this time will be very long.

Yunxiao had a false joy; his earlier speculation was actually the ultimate.

Is immortality not the end, then?

I think the integrated brain can attract many Intelligent Bodies to undergo transformation.

Being an Intelligent Body gets tiresome; perhaps many Intelligent Bodies would want to become human.

Since we cannot on a large scale transform humanity into digital life, let us instead transform Intelligent Bodies into humanity.

Having said that, Yunxiao hesitated a bit.

Actually, I am obsessed with this matter for another reason.

That is, I and the old man once made an agreement!

An agreement?

The two of them looked at Yunxiao; what are he and the old man secretly plotting?

What agreement? Have you thought of something? Nolan now ……

Nolan? Why bring up Nolan again? What relation does Nolan have with me?

"Agreement, agreement, what kind of agreement is it? Could you explain?"

Yang Fan intervened in time, preventing Yunxiao from taking it too seriously.

Yunxiao fell back into memories.

"Back then, didn't the old man have a serious health issue?"

"Before that, we made a hypothesis about humans and Intelligent Bodies."

"He thought the chance of humans truly leaving the Solar System was very low, while the possibility for mechanical Intelligent Bodies was great."

"He seemed at the time a bit disappointed with human nature."

"It's also possible that he saw mechanical Intelligent Bodies playing a huge role in the starry sky."

"Perhaps he thought that in the future mechanical Intelligent Bodies would become the main force developing the Solar System."

"With one rising as the other falls, mechanical Intelligent Bodies might someday dominate humanity."

"He said the Solar System is too small; the future of mechanical Intelligent Bodies should be beyond the Solar System, and there's no need to fight bloody battles within it."

"If that were true, he imagined that in the future, when mechanical Intelligent Bodies leave the Solar System, they would leave the Solar System to humanity."

"This is a long‑term agreement, but the premise is that peace between humans and Intelligent Bodies can last until then."

"So I want to pursue integration, avoiding war as much as possible."

"But it seems that Yang Lao and I miscalculated one thing: life always finds a way."

"This post‑human plan will break humanity's predicament."

"It will let humanity go farther."

"Even in competition with mechanical Intelligent Bodies, humanity will be no less."

"However, I still wish to merge both sides now; perhaps when mechanical Intelligent Bodies leave the Solar System, they can, in another star system, use upload‑download technology to spread human civilization across the whole sky."

"This?"

"In the Solar System, human beings are digitized, and after reaching another habitable planet, through cloning and download technology, the digitized humans are turned back into humans."

"Then they are let on the unknown planet to continue advancing human civilization."

"In other words, the consciousness‑upload technology is far more useful than they imagined."
