Chapter 69: Laboratory 01

Leibniz rubbed the "mobile hard drive" in his hand and said slowly: "Scientific researchers are great and glorious, and all the research they make is practical, and they can also create infinite material wealth for the world; But the researchers of literature and art are also equally important, because they are regulating public morality and aesthetics, they are establishing correct values for society, and it is they who counterbalance the inflated ambitions of scientists and putting a halter on the wild horse of science and technology. Intelligent life needs both rational thinking and emotional humanistic care, after all, eating is to live, but living is not just to eat. ”

The powerful but fleeting prehistoric civilization is a lesson from the past.

It is a pity that history is always strikingly similar, and any civilization will develop uncontrollably, slipping at the apex until its demise. This is true of the Wizard Empire, and the same is true of the Elven Empire. In the flames of war, life is gone, civilization is destroyed, and many precious things die and never come back.

Using history as a mirror, Leibniz had a vision above the mundane. He put away the "portable hard drive" (who would have thought that a priceless treasure would be so simply kept in an unlocked drawer) and said, "At present, the world has only mastered the technology of extracting kerosene from coal. As soon as someone can extract kerosene from oil, he will be controlled by our people and taken back to the city. ”

"Isn't this a technology monopoly?"

"Yes. While restricting their personal freedom, I will also show them the tip of the iceberg of steel city's technological reserves. When they are exposed to new technology, they will be dominated by their own curiosity, and they will not want to leave at all, and they only think about absorbing knowledge like a sponge absorbing water every day. And when there is a researcher who has reached the pinnacle of this group and he is determined to return to his homeland, I will show up and tell him that he should stay. I don't brainwash people who basically agree with me after painful choices. ”

"Why? Isn't it right to serve the motherland with new technology? Is it because of your anti-war thoughts, Your Majesty? I have to say, your approach is in vain! People's desire to explore science is endless, and you will never be able to suppress the progress of science and technology! The agitated Strunm did not notice that he was being rude to the king.

"Yes, that's true. No matter how great the power of Steel City is, it has its limits, just like my ...... to the Twilight Empire The momentary negligence of that Brian allowed you to restore the manufacturing technology of pure white abomination, and even created funeral mold and dead flu virus. But I also believe that my efforts are not in vain, and at the very least, the destruction of this world can come as late as possible. ”

Leibniz's laughter was sacred, with the compassion of a religious legend. Fermat and Strom looked at each other, probably knowing why the Soul God had abandoned His Majesty. The Necromantic King ignores life, for life will meet death, and death is an eternal dream; But His Majesty Leibniz did the opposite, of course the soul god would not allow it!

"I'm coming to you this time because I have a work arrangement. Lab 01 needs you to take over monitoring, and given the fact that we don't need to sleep, I think you're a good fit. ”

His Majesty led the way and said, "You have been concentrating on research for the past three days, and I have seen it all. The nature of oil has long been cracked by the city, and it is a basic thing that can no longer be basic, to the small k

You can reach for the data, but you have to be self-reliant, and you have to work tirelessly without guidance, and the spirit is commendable, and the data is correct – and of course the most important thing is that. If it was a whim to take you to visit Lab 04 before, then letting you work in Lab 01 this time represents my affirmation of you. I hope you guys don't let me down. ”

Being able to study in the top laboratory is something that the two of them can't ask for.

As soon as I entered Lab 01, I saw a fifteen-meter-diameter glass tank in the center of the wide room, soaked in a five-meter-diameter mass of white biological tissue in the green liquid, and there were many zigzag grooves on the tissue, so Stroum asked tentatively, "Is this the brain?" ”

"Yes. When the body is still active, it is taken out and then used to maintain vitality with nutrient solution. It's alive and still thinking, isn't it? The answer was a dark-skinned, curly-haired young man who stepped out from behind the glass jar with a clipboard, half of his face reflected green.

Leibniz explains: "This is Fermat and Strom, the people who took over the monitoring. This is Theseus, one of our most distinguished members. ”

"Mr. Leibniz, these two are good, those researchers before, even if they have made a mental warning, they will make a fuss when they see the 'brain in a jar'."

"After all, it's a necromantic creature, and it's not strange to human tissue." Leibniz patted the other man on the shoulder: "Hurry up and hand over the work, and then go to rest, you can't use doping all the time." ”

"Actually, it's not too sleepy......" Theseus yawned, and then looked pained: "Ah, cramps...... It hurts......"

"......" Leibniz scolded angrily: "Your muscles are so tense that you even have cramps when you yawn!" ”

"Got it, got it." Theseus raised his hand to say goodbye, and then introduced the work to the two of them.

Laboratory 01 is centered on the brain in the tank, and various monitoring equipment is set up in 360 degrees without dead ends, and as many as 48 cameras are aimed at the glass cylinder, so that any situation can be faithfully recorded and transmitted to Laboratory 05. The programmed puppet will change the liquid in the glass tank, inject oxygen, and clean the room. The energy system is self-contained, and the lighting, ventilation and security systems run on their own without worry. What the two of them have to do is actually very simple, that is, they sit here and monitor, and immediately notify Leibniz or Theseus if there is any abnormality, and the intercom device is on the operating table, which is very conspicuous and can be seen by patients with amblyopia.

Theseus seemed very uneasy, and after finishing speaking, he asked the two of them to recite the main points to see if they remembered them, and then yawned and left.

Strom sat down at the workbench and read the manual, while Fermat leaned in to the glass jar and exclaimed, "This thing is huge!" It was taken from the dragon! ”

"No, it's from the goblin master Hillary? Putnam. Leibniz stood with his hands in his hands, also observing.

"Goblins? Impossible, right? "How small the goblin is, everyone in the world knows it, how can it be that there is such a huge brain?

"Because it is detached from its body, it can grow freely. It's going to get even bigger in the future, right

How to change the container at the time is also a problem. Leibniz frowned, already thinking about the long-term hidden dangers.

The reason why Strom was not sure at first that it was the brain was first because of the size, and secondly because of the shape. Normally, the brain tissue is walnut-shaped, but this thing grows into a ball. There are many cables attached to the surface of the sphere, and the cables are connected to the bottom of the glass cylinder, and you can see that the bottom of the cylinder is a platform made of metal, and the red and green signal lights flicker rhythmically on the platform, and everything is normal to the eye.

"Although Theseus didn't give too much work, you can also record the data on your own without affecting the brain in the tank, after all, you can't see such interesting things everywhere. Hillary is a goblin, a race that lacks strength and is often ridiculed, so Hillary works hard to make up for it with technology. He is both talented and meticulous, and all the humanized facilities in the city are actually his handiwork, and for this alone, I will never be able to compare to myself as a necromantic creature. As he lay dying, I asked him if he wanted to become a necromantic creature, and who knew that he would take a gamble to complete his ultimate task, which was—"

How can you tell the difference between the real and the unreal?

Neither of them pricked up their ears understood.

Leibniz explains: "The brain is responsible for thinking, and the five senses – eyes, ears, nose, skin, and mouth – are responsible for receiving information from the outside world. If the brain is taken out separately and placed in a glass jar, it cannot know the external information, then at this time, we can convert the external information into electrical signals and transmit it to the brain, and the brain can restore the external information. It seems to us that the brain has shifted positions, but in the eyes of the brain, nothing has changed – we can even send a signal to it that the body is still there, and it can clench its fists when it wants to clench its fists and kick its legs when it wants. ”

The two of them looked at the glass jar in unison, and immediately understood why there were cables attached to the surface of the brain in the jar.

In other words, the cameras around us act as eyes, the microphones act as ears, and Hillary can still see and hear us. If he feels the need, he can speak through the speaker. It's not that this brain is him, it's the whole Lab 01 that is him. ”

Leibniz added: "If we manipulate the information we transmit, for example, if I give instructions to the camera to only shoot you and not me, then the brain in the vat will not know about my existence." ”

"Illusion-like?"

"It's understandable. One of the most interesting things about this subject is that it makes us doubt. Is it possible that we are also brains suspended in a nutrient solution? Is what we see and hear now all the electrical signals coming from fiber optic cables? Is the me you're talking to really exist, or is it just a fabricated message? ”

Despite being necromantic creatures, Strom and Fermat were creepy to hear. Under the premise of a "brain in a vat", the real and the unreal are so difficult to distinguish between the straight and the straight into the abyss of skepticism.

"Since the entire 01 lab is considered a brain in a jar, is it ......?"

Leibniz knew what Fermat wanted to ask, and nodded, "Yes, Hillary is the owner of Lab 01." He lives in a space of imagination that is both true and false. If he is allowed to continue to study, maybe even the so-called 'reality' will be seen through by him. ”
