【Chapter 500: Distance Problem】

Ren Hong suppressed several people who were very excited and announced loudly in the research room: "Okay OK! I'm ready to start work. The most difficult technical point has been broken, but we still have a lot to do. In essence, it's still 'conscious connection'. The difference is the interaction object, so computer technology is a core point here. Zhang Han, this is your responsibility..."

As tasks began to be announced, Ren Hong finally said: "Okay, my great scientists, once they succeed, I promise to reward each of you with your own ‘incarnation’ and a full set of related equipment. Of course, it is not a pure reward. With ‘incarnation’, you can personally engage in more dangerous research without being careful of life threats, and you no longer need to use rash soldiers to collect samples. Always remember that even if the ‘incarnation’ is perfect, it cannot be as good as the ontology that can produce self-consciousness! The ontology has infinite imagination."

During the study, no one felt the passage of time, and in a blink of an eye, the "Incarnation" project plan has been in progress until the ninth week.

Ren Hong and his team worked hard every day for nearly 100 days. Today, when they were off work, everyone said goodbye to Ren Hong and left the laboratory. The "Incarnation" project plan progressed extremely smoothly. The most difficult brain neuron, that is, the technology of organic chips, has long been solved by Sakura. It only needs to be manufactured according to the existing data basis. In a few days, the "Incarnation" will be cultivated in the copying equipment.

Ren Hong will start tonight and cannot be known to them. Fortunately, all major laboratories have closed functions, so Sakura's body can be created.

Everyone left the laboratory one after another with fatigue, but except for Ren Hong, Zhang Han still stayed in the laboratory. He found that Ren Hong was still in the closed independent laboratory No. 6.

Although the laboratory is an enclosed independent space, the door is open at this moment. Zhang Han leaned against the door with his arms around him, looking at Ren Hong who was still working inside: "Why aren't you leaving yet? It's going to close!"

"Work overtime!" Ren Hong said without looking back.

"By the way! I have a question in my mind. I don't know if you have noticed it. I wanted to say it very early. I happened to be free now." Zhang Han suddenly said, and walked into the closed laboratory.

"What's the question?" Ren Hong said.

Zhang Han thought for a while and said, "In my understanding, the way human ontological consciousness enters the 'incarnation' is like an interaction between a human and the 'virtual world', and it is a form of 'connection', right?"

"Not rigorous, but nothing wrong."

"But have you ever thought about the question of distance?" Zhang Han looked at Ren Hong and asked.

"Distance?" Ren Hong put down the work at hand and turned to look at the other party.

"That's right, it's the distance!" Zhang Han found a stool and sat down, and then said: "For example, don't you want to go to Mars in person? Of course, you are visiting the destination through the 'incarnation', and the body is still on Earth. But have you ever thought about the extremely long distance between the two? Even if the shortest distance between Earth and Mars is 55.76 million kilometers, the connection between the body and the 'incarnation' will be affected by distance. In my professional terms, this is delay!"

Zhang Han shrugged slightly, opened his hands to play with body language, and said, "The distance problem has caused a time obstacle, time limits everything. Even the speed of light is too short for a long distance, unless it passes through a wormhole!"

"No wonder you can only play with computers. You have to build a wormhole, so this plan cannot be carried out." Ren Hong looked at the other party with a playful smile.

"Please, we are discussing scientific issues now, not letting you attack me!" Zhang Han looked at Ren Hong with complaints.

"What is consciousness? What is the relationship between consciousness and matter?" Ren Hong asked back, and then replied for a moment: "The key points of the discussion on this topic will make the two major 'fights' of philosophers and scientists quarrel."

Ren Hong left the research desk, sat next to Zhang Han, and continued: "First of all, from a philosophical perspective, according to the philosopher's point of view, matter does not exist in human consciousness. Then a new problem comes. If there is never human beings, that is, human consciousness will not exist. Then we can draw a conclusion that matter determines consciousness. Consciousness is a form of reaction of human brain or humans to objective things. For example, when I see you and see me and I see you, we all exist objectively. When you see me and I see you, consciousness is a form of reaction to affairs, so philosophers say that matter does not exist in human consciousness."

"Consciousness is a special function of the human brain. The so-called material basis of consciousness refers to the objective material world. That is to say, human consciousness is not obtained out of thin air, but is obtained through the movement and changes of the objective world through the object of cognition. If we leave the material world, people will not have rich consciousness."

Ren Hong suddenly laughed and said, "The above views expressed by philosophers are basically not favored by scientists. The reason is very simple. The philosophical views give the result, but there is no reason. This is something rigorous scientists will never allow. Scientists and philosophers seem to be born enemies. If scientists cannot solve problems, philosophers will immediately jump out and browse the existence. What's more nonsense is that idealists do not admit that their people's consciousness is given by God or is originally found in the human brain, and is placed on theology, which is simply a joke."

Ren Hong said slowly: "I am a scientific worker, and of course I am not very fond of philosophers on the same front. When you have to interpret a thing from a philosophical perspective and solve it, you are almost the next Newton who wants to believe in God! Crazy. The ultimate form of science is theology? Nonsense!"

Zhang Han: "Uh..."

"Of course!" Ren Hong looked at Zhang Han with his legs crossed, saying, "Although we have natural hostility towards philosophers, we cannot deny the status and value of existence. The so-called existence is reasonable! Science is rigorous and inclusive. So let's first start from the perspective of philosophy. According to the philosopher's point of view, the material basis of consciousness is the objective material world. There are two keywords here that are very, very important, namely: the material world and consciousness."

"If you want to find the answer, sometimes don't stick to the problem itself, as it will deceive your eyes. You may never get the truth. OK! Then let's focus on expanding from the problem itself to the entire macro universe. When we look at this problem from the perspective of astrophysics, we may be able to get a broad new world without any connection."

"From the macro universe...? This is too incredible, right? How to interpret the problem?" Zhang Han looked at the other party suspiciously, and was also extremely curious about how Ren Hong interprets the problem of consciousness.
