Chapter 4637 The Mystery of Life

"Boss, I understand what you mean. But we can't continue this experiment now!" Cohen pulled Lin Feng out of the computer room.

"What?" Lin Feng asked.

"Boss, what you just said reminds me of a previous paper, which was about the mystery of the human brain." Brian Cohen fell into reminiscing.

The brain includes the brainstem, diencephalon, cerebellum and telencephalon. The telencephalon includes the left and right cerebral hemispheres. The telencephalon is the main part of the advanced nervous system of the vertebrate brain, consisting of the left and right hemispheres. In humans, it is the largest part of the brain. It is a high-level nerve center that controls movement, generates sensations, and realizes advanced brain functions. The telencephalon of vertebrates is the thin-walled bulge at the head end of the neural tube during embryonic development. It later develops into the two hemispheres of the brain, which mainly include the cerebral cortex, cerebral medulla and basal ganglia. The cerebral cortex is the gray matter covering the surface of the telencephalon and is mainly composed of neuron cell bodies. The deep part of the cortex is made up of the medulla or white matter, which is made up of nerve fibers. There is also a gray matter mass in the medulla, the basal ganglia, of which the striatum is the main part.

The telencephalon is composed of about 14 billion cells and weighs about 1,400 grams. The thickness of the cerebral cortex is about 2-3 mm, and the total area is about 2,200 square centimeters. It is estimated that about 100,000 brain cells die every day (the less you use your brain, the less likely you are to use your brain). more brain cells die). The capacity of a person's brain to store information is equivalent to 10,000 libraries with 10 million volumes. The previous view was that people who are best at using their brains only use 10% of their brain capacity in their lives, but modern science has proven this This view is wrong. Human beings use their brains 100%, and there are no idle cells in the brain. The main component of the human brain is water, accounting for 80%. Although the brain only accounts for 2% of the body weight, its oxygen consumption reaches 25% of the whole body's oxygen consumption, and its blood flow accounts for 15% of the heart's blood output. The blood flowing through the brain in a day is 2,000 liters. The energy consumed by the brain is equivalent to approximately 25 watts in terms of electrical power.

"Okay, okay, stop it, Cohen, are you giving me a human anatomy lesson? I feel dizzy after listening to what you said." Lin Feng quickly stopped Cohen from continuing to explain, "I said, you seem to be I graduated from the Department of Electronic Computing, not the Department of Medicine, how come I know so much about the human body?”

"Haha, boss. I have a double master's degree in the Department of Electronic Computing and the Department of Medicine!" Cohen said in a show off.

Lin Feng was speechless. Well, geniuses like them who came out of famous schools like Harvard or Yale in the United States are all awesome people. There are often dual master's degrees, and even dual doctoral degrees. Solo, who studied the Tesla Notes for himself, had a double doctorate. The Department of Applied Physics and Theoretical Physics, as well as the Master's Degree in Engineering, are simply amazing. When you talk to this group of people, you will often find that your brain is not enough, and their knowledge is too profound. It's almost too exaggerated to look like a human being.

"Boss, according to modern scientific research, the human brain produces its own brain waves when working. It can be detected with an electronic scanner and there are at least four important wave bands. Research has confirmed that the brain has at least four different brain waves. 1. "a" (alpha) brain waves have a frequency of 8-12hz (hertz).

Brain waves appear when the human brain is in a completely relaxed mental state [empty state], or when the mind is focused. When in a "relaxed active" state, we absorb information faster and more efficiently. That's the state we usually achieve by doing some kind of meditation or listening to relaxing music. Some of the popular contemporary "quick learning" techniques are based on training methods in the context of "Baroque" music. The speed of many Baroque music works (i.e. 60-70 beats per minute) is consistent with the brain being in a "relaxed alert" state. Wavelength" is similar. If someone read a message to you to the accompaniment of that music. The message ‘floats into your subconscious mind’. "

Lin Feng fainted again after hearing this.

"I said, Cohen, can you please explain it simply?" Lin Feng said helplessly, "I only have a high school diploma, and you have to give me such advanced knowledge. I don't understand. Please be simple. Let me do this." Even high school graduates can understand it!”

To be honest, Lin Feng sometimes feels a little inferior when facing people like Cohen. People like them are very capable of learning. and. They are definitely not the nerds we imagine them to be. For example, although Cohen has dual master's degrees, he is also a swimming enthusiast with very good swimming skills. It is said that he once won a bronze medal at the National Collegiate Swimming Championships in college. Being able to read and being good at sports, this is the rhythm of the world.

For a person like me, if he is not reborn, he is just a thread among threads. People are crazy, but I am the thread. Thinking about it makes me cry bitterly. Fortunately, due to good fortune, I was unexpectedly reborn.

"Well, to put it simply, let's put it simply!" Cohen organized his thoughts and told Lin Feng in the simplest words possible, "There are four types of brain waves. The first is the "a" (alpha) brain wave; The second type is "β" (beta) brain wave, its frequency is 14-100hz; the third type is "theta" (theta) brain wave, its frequency is 4-8hz; the fourth type is "delta" (delta) brain wave , its frequency is 0.5-4hz. "

"Of these four types of brain waves, the first type is in charge of learning, the second type is in charge of thinking and action, and the third and fourth types are brain waves that relax and allow the brain to rest. The transmission of these brain waves depends on us There are 100 billion neurons in the brain for transmission. Therefore, in terms of theoretical physics, the only thing that can exceed the speed of light is human brain waves. Of course, at present, brain waves can only be transmitted within the human brain and cannot travel beyond the human body. . And how much data can our brains store? Boss, guess what, according to modern scientists, it can be calculated using the computer’s hard disk space.” Cohen said with a smile.

Lin Feng curled his lips, this one must have at least several trillion t! Lin Feng pondered.

This 1t is the capacity of 1000g, and 1g has 1024m, and 1m can store about 500,000 men. 1g has approximately 512 million Chinese characters. As for 1t, that is 500 billion Chinese characters. At several megabytes, the number of words stored has long exceeded the combined capacity of all books in human history. Lin Feng made this estimate and felt that it should be almost the same.

"Haha, boss, I said that the human brain has 100 billion neurons, and between these 100 billion neurons, there are trillions of synaptic connections. It forms a maze-like network connection that connects us to the end. The unit where the information is stored is located. According to estimates by modern scientists, each unit can hold about 2.5 gigabytes, which can hold 3 million hours of television programs, which is about the same as today's units. That’s a lot! It has a capacity of about 2.5 megatons,” Cohen said with a smile.

Lin Feng was completely shocked when he heard this. This, put it this way. The human brain has almost unlimited capacity. You know, there are trillions of pipe connections in this brain, and each connection is a unit. 2.5 trillion tons, multiplied by one trillion, this number is so beautiful that Lin Feng cannot imagine it.

"Haha. Boss, this is the result of modern scientists' research on the human brain. As for why the human brain cannot actually store so much information, it is very simple because our brains receive too much messy information, and with this information, maybe we I don’t think there is even any memory. But it still occupies storage space deep in the brain. Think about it, just when we open our eyes and look at the world, there is an unknown amount of capacity entering the unit of our brain.” Cohen said with a smile, "We may think that this information is unimportant or even meaningless, but when we close our eyes and imagine. These seemingly useless and messy information are the basis of our imagination space."

Lin Feng thought about it, indeed. This is really true. For example, when you wake up every day, the first thing you do is get dressed. Then the scene of where you left your clothes last night will appear in your brain. This information was naturally recorded in your brain before going to bed last night. these messages. It will occupy brain unit space. Basically, every word and deed of a person requires various information in the brain to support the person's actions.

"As for why some people have good memories and others have poor memories, it would be very complicated to explain, so I won't explain it to you, boss. Otherwise, I'm afraid, boss, you need to study human biology." Cohen said helplessly.

"Well, I don't want to know this now. I just want to know the Nuwa you are talking about." Lin Feng brought the topic to Nuwa.

"Boss, I have been asking myself, 'Nu Wa' should have given birth to intelligent life, but why did she not grow up as we expected? We read her many books and videos. , but why her IQ and EQ have not improved much. She can still only blame linear processing of problems instead of pan-sexual processing. I have been thinking about it for a long time, and finally, boss, you just said that you asked Nuwa a lot. "I woke up when I asked the question," Cohen lamented, "If a person is locked in a blank room all day long, with nothing in it except some books, even if the person memorizes all the books, he is It's just a knowledge base. If you ask him to use this knowledge, he will definitely not be able to do it. The reason why we humans have the ability to create and solve problems is that we have been constantly trying to solve various problems since we were young. "For example, walking, climbing, building blocks, stacking Rubik's cubes, etc., these are all things that we humans will experience when we grow up, and these are what cultivate our brain's logical processing ability!" Cohen pointed out. own brain.

Lin Feng thought deeply after hearing this.

"But Nuwa does not have this opportunity. She has no room to grow, so how can she grow? Everything she has done so far is that I have programmed her, and she uses these programs to deal with various problems. In fact, , what she does in this is just like what I said, people in a room are endorsing, nothing more. No matter how many books she memorizes, it is just an endorsement. The same is true for Nuwa. It's just running the program. She doesn't need to do anything. "It turns out that we have been wrong for so long."

"But when I asked her those questions...I understand, that was also an endorsement!" Lin Feng suddenly realized.

"Yes, that is also endorsement. She has been endorsing since she was born, when we tested her thinking. Over the years, she has been endorsing. She is still like a baby, even more so than a baby. Babies can at least laugh and have five senses, so babies can feel comfortable or uncomfortable, or laugh or cry. But speaking of it, she is just a placenta." Smiling bitterly, "I mistakenly thought that artificial intelligence life was really born, but it turned out to be just my imagination! Creating a life may really be something that only God can do!"

Lin Feng frowned. This is not what Lin Feng wants to see.

"Cohen, have you given up?" Lin Feng asked.

"No, how could you give up! Boss, your conversation with Nuwa just now made me wake up and realize that all my past efforts were wrong. This means that my past efforts are ridiculous, but it also gives me guidance. There is a clear way. Although the current 'Nu Wa' is a placenta, as long as it is a placenta, it can become a life, and now other countries and companies can't. There is no placenta. They haven't even realized this yet, so we are still on a higher level than others." Cohen regained his confidence at this moment.

Artificial intelligence life is the most difficult breakthrough in the field of human science. But he has found an opportunity, a real opportunity. How could this not make Cohen proud?

"Then what are you going to do?" Lin Feng asked.

"Boss, regarding the training of Nuwa, I plan to start from two aspects. One is to increase her computing power and storage space. I used to think that our storage space was enough, but when I think about the human brain, I think that our storage space Far from enough. And why the human brain has such a large storage space is naturally because the human brain needs space to think. When we think, we can simulate the explosion of an atomic bomb, the destruction of the earth, and even the universe. Pictures of birth and destruction. This requires an extremely large space, so our brain needs such a huge space. At present, Nuwa cannot think. From a hardware perspective, the storage space is far from enough. Just increase its storage space!" said Cohen. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
