Looking for Inspiration

  Zhang Yuan frowned and continued: "There are still a small number of cases where the memory will be overwritten, and there may even be significant memory loss. These are contents worth exploring... In short, this is actually a fifth-level civilization. We are only scratching the surface of the research content."

  Lin Xuanxuan asked again: "If all the memories are not overwritten, how can the so-called ancestors be resurrected? There are two people's memories in one head? Who does he represent? Is he the original person or the resurrected ancestor?"

  "It should still be the same person as before, but his values ​​​​have been replaced."

  Zhang Yuan swallowed and said, "Most of the memories of the ancestors of hemispheric civilizations involve values, values, and principles of life. Personal privacy is so little that it can be ignored. Therefore, the original memories will not be given to Substantially replaced..."

  "Hey, for us, they have already completed the biggest problem of morality and values ​​that still need to be discussed extensively. Their ancestors have fixed this set of values ​​long ago, although it is very rough..."

  Lin Xuanxuan thought for a while and asked curiously: "Why do they set it up like this? First inherit a small part of the memory, and then work for a long, long time before inheriting more memories? Why not do it all at once? ?"

  "You have too many questions!" Zhang Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "This question involves the privacy of people in the hemisphere, so I can't answer you."

  He sighed inwardly. The people in Hemisphere may have done this deliberately because of their ancestors.

  On the one hand, it is a direct infusion of complete body memory, and the failure rate is too high.

  On the other hand, there may be other underlying reasons... For example, the worldview and values ​​​​that were hastily formulated during the initial period of underdeveloped science and technology were really too rough. If you think about the contents carefully, they are full of contradictions.

  Only after working for thousands of years can you form your own set of thinking patterns, round them out, and provide a better memory template. With the development of the times, this new memory template is not like the previous one, which only has some frameworks, but will have more knowledge!

  Limited to the confidentiality agreement, there is one thing he did not say: After careful research, the internal staff of Unreal Labs generally believe that the current methodology still has limitations. Before the completion of memory instillation reaches 98% or 99% , you can still make some progress, but you may not be able to do anything about it later.

  Methods closer to the essence must be developed to achieve the ultimate goal of hemispheric civilization.

  But what is the way to get closer to the essence?

  This problem is very distressing. It is the tradition of Unreal Lab to use one generation, experiment one generation and develop one generation. But now the way forward seems to be blocked, and the new generation technology does not know how to develop it, so it can only hang on to the old technology.

  "But the old technology obviously has limited potential. It can last for at least ten years... Oh, what a headache!"

  In fact, if humans work hard, they can advance faster, but they have to create the illusion of slow progress to satisfy the civilizations in the hemisphere.

  This fact has not even been informed to the people in Hemisphere. Zhang Yuan is a little afraid that these guys will explode in despair after learning the news. So he didn't even tell his wife about this confidential information.

  "Oh, think of another solution. As soon as possible!"

  While we were chatting, the music exhibition hall arrived.

  This exhibition hall collects a large amount of civilized art music. Zhang Yuan is a very nostalgic person. He found the Gliese exhibition hall and sat down quietly.

  Inside, music will automatically play every hour. After the time expired, some 3D images of pangolins beating gongs and drums were projected in front, which was precious data recorded by humans during their diplomatic visit to the planet Gliese.

  On the big screen at the back, there is also a line of text introduction.

  [Art piece "Distant Friends" - Gliese Civilization, performers: Keduo, Amos, Qiangpeng...]

  [Woo-dang! Ahhhhhhhhh! ]

  [Welcome distant friends, distant bards, come to me, come to me...]

  [Dong dong dong! ! ]

  "I don't know if those pangolins are living well on a distant alien planet, or whether they have fallen into the mediocre trough again."

  As a person who came from that era, Lin Xuanxuan also felt a little emotional.

  The "ding-dong-dang-dang" percussion music of Gliese's civilization was sung with a hint of deep tragedy. Not many people appreciated it, so there were only a few people sitting in the exhibition hall.

  In addition to humans, there are also several pangolins who are also listening to the songs of their distant relatives.

  They know this period of history and have a very strange emotion towards these distant relatives. The genes are the same genes, but the culture is not the same culture...

  "Can they still be called the Gliese civilization? It's hard to say...if humans sublimate themselves and change their thinking, are they still considered humans?"

  Zhang Yuan lamented that the Gliese people on this side have actually been assimilated a lot. Human beings born later have not experienced that past event, so they will naturally have no idea about the first alien civilization that humans came into contact with.

  They will never be able to understand the trepidation that humans felt when they discovered aliens at that time: the number of intelligent life in the universe may be more than imagined, and the vast majority of civilizations cannot escape. The civilization of the fallen in the starry sky... This fact was shocking to the original humans.

  Modern people often like to discuss those extremely powerful civilizations, and they also like to discuss the progress of their allies. Who would discuss the weak?

  This is true even for countries on earth. The debates often arise between the powerful and wealthy countries and the weak and poor marginal places. Who cares about the life and death of the people there? The truth of the universe is often like this, good people become better and bad people become worse.

  "Well, I hope they can live a better life and be able to rise again on a foreign planet." Zhang Yuan sighed and said: "The genes of the Gliese people have already appeared on our planet, but what is more important than genes is the spirit. quality."

  "Hey, Kadofu, are you here too?" Zhang Yuan saw a familiar pangolin, also in the exhibition hall, and said hello in a friendly way.

  "Hello, Professor Zhang."

  This mathematician named Kadofu was a high-ranking figure in the Gliese civilization.

  When they knew that their distant relatives were once addicted to chemicals, the shock in their hearts must be difficult to describe in words...

  There were several small pangolins beside Kaduofu. When he saw Zhang Yuan, his eyes rolled.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Are you taking care of the children again?"

  "Yes, it doesn't matter if you let them listen to traditional music. We are also a civilization with a history. But many of our people don't know this history, so let them listen."

  Zhang Yuan nodded seriously: "If you are serious, the past history should not be forgotten, no matter whether it is bad or not."

  Just listening to the music, Zhang Yuan gradually entered a state of trance, and his old habit of sleeping in public places recurred...
