Chen Chen hesitated for a long time before he suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly and came to a realization.
After all, he could not stop using the USB drive just because it was in danger. Since when did he not rely on the USB drive to get where he was today?
Without the USB drive, there would be no Chen Chen. So, what was the point of thinking so much?
Besides, he had not encountered any real danger with the USB drive so far.
After thinking about it, Chen Chen ordered Little X to download Ghost in the Shell and I, Robot.
As for Alita: Battle Angel, this movie had been lying in Chen Chen's USB drive for several years.
Soon, the movie was downloaded and Chen Chen took out the USB drive from the main control room.
After the USB drive was plugged into the computer, in this tightly guarded room, a dozen Black Knights stood behind Chen Chen with guns. If there were any accidents, they could quickly respond.
The two movies were successfully loaded into the USB drive. Obviously, the USB drive recognized the world behind these two movies.
Seeing this, Chen Chen thought for a moment and moved the cursor to the movie I, Robot.
I, Robot, also known as Public Enemy Of Machines, was an old movie released in 2004. It told the story of a police officer named Dale Spooner who lost his left arm in a car accident in the future mechanical era. A robot thought that he would have a better chance of survival, so it chose to rescue him but not the little girl, resulting in the little girl's death.
This incident left a shadow in his heart and caused him to distrust any robot around him.
A few years later, during his mission, he accidentally discovered a murder case that was suspected to be a robot. Thus, he began to investigate it. Who knew that he would be implicated in a robot rebellion plot.
Apart from the protagonist Will Smith's superb acting skills, the highlight of this movie was the true protagonist of the movie — Sonny.
From the outside, Sonny seemed to be just an ordinary NS-5 robot. It was 180 centimeters tall, had a durable titanium shell, transparent engineering plastic face decoration, and had 456 moving parts. It could carry a weight of 363 kilograms, could withstand impacts of thousands of pounds, and had 80 language abilities.
However, it was different from other robots. It had its own thoughts and could think. When it was caught, it would be angry because it was wronged. When faced with the fate of being destroyed, it would also feel fear and dread.
This robot could even dream.
This was something that only a complete artificial intelligence life could achieve. After all, even Little X did not have the ability to "dream".
In fact, ever since the invention of the Turing Test, humans had been pursuing the ability of artificial intelligence to be close to the human brain. However, the difference between the human brain and the computer was too great, and it was very difficult to achieve.
For example, with current science and technology, it was very easy to build a computer that could multiply ten digits in an instant.
However, it would be extremely difficult for humans to build a computer that could tell whether an animal was a cat or a dog.
Humans could now easily build a computer that could beat the world chess champion, but they couldn't build a computer that could read children's books.
High-tech companies around the world have spent tens of billions of dollars, but no one has succeeded.
Some things that the human brain found extremely difficult, such as calculus, financial market strategies, and translation, were too easy for a computer.
Some of the things that we think are very easy, like vision, movement, intuition, are too difficult for a computer.
However, Sonny in I, Robot broke this boundary. It had both the emotional ability of a human and the super computing power of a computer.
In other words, Sonny was truly a strong artificial intelligence. In the movie, it had a pair of blue eyes that stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens. The eyes of an ordinary NS-5 robot were yellow.
However, Chen Chen did not plan to extract the robot Sonny. In Chen Chen's opinion, using the USB drive to extract Sonny was as dangerous as extracting "Skynet" in Terminator. If he was not a hundred percent sure that he could control it, Chen Chen would not extract it.
Therefore, Chen Chen's goal was to extract the ordinary robots in the movie. These robots were developed in a different direction from the T-series of Terminator. If he could verify and combine the technology of Terminator, Chen Chen had a chance to develop a more powerful robot.
Moreover, the mechanical arm of the movie's protagonist, Dell Spooner, also represented a powerful bionic technology. The only pity was that this technology was not reflected in too many words.
As for "Alita: Battle Angel" and "Ghost in the Shell", they were the real black technology.
Whether it was Alita or Motoko Kusanagi, they only had one brain. Their bodies had been replaced with bionic prosthetics. What was even more ridiculous was that Alita had slept in a garbage dump for three hundred years, relying only on an antimatter heart to survive.
If he could fully understand this bionic technology, even if it was just a part of the human body modified into bionic prosthetics, it would greatly increase the survival rate of humans.
This was Chen Chen's idea.
With this in mind, Chen Chen no longer hesitated. He immediately opened the movie I, Robot and dragged the progress bar to the middle of the movie. Detective Dell Spooner came to the NS-5 robot manufacturing factory and searched for Sonny among a thousand robots.
After that, Chen Chen pressed the space bar to pause the movie, then reached his hand toward the screen.
Chen Chen felt like he was grabbing a round, smooth object. After that, he pulled and a brand new, shiny NS-5 robot wrapped in a translucent plastic shell appeared in front of Chen Chen.
Chen Chen quickly let go of his hand and looked at the robot's eyes. He only relaxed when he saw a pair of golden eyes.
"Hello, sir."
The robot spoke with a standard Chinese accent. The moment it saw Chen Chen, its intelligent system had analyzed Chen Chen's facial features and determined that he was a Chinese. This was why it greeted Chen Chen with a Chinese accent.
"Turn it off."
Chen Chen ordered.
"Understood, sir."
The NS-5 nodded without hesitation, then shut its eyes completely.
After that, the Black Knights behind Chen Chen came forward and stuffed the NS-5 robot into a holding container.
After packing up the NS-5, Chen Chen opened the movie Alita: Battle Angel and set his sights on Alita who had switched to the Berserker mecha.
This mecha used the same nanotechnology as the PK Armor and GS Blade. It could automatically adjust its shape and size. In short, it was a nano body, specially designed for modified humans with only brains.
After thinking about it, Chen Chen gritted his teeth and reached out!
In an instant, a skinny Alita of 1.65 meters tall appeared in reality!
However, the Alita in front of Chen Chen had her eyes closed.
Seeing this, Chen Chen beckoned behind him. At once, a group of Black Knights came forward and carried Alita away.
After a while, the X-ray results came out. This Alita did not have a brain.
Just like when Chen Chen first extracted Pikachu, no matter what, he could only extract Pikachu's hat. The body of Alita in front of him was like Pikachu's hat.
Still, this was exactly what Chen Chen wanted. If he brought Alita back to reality, how was he going to explain to her what this place was? If Alita went berserk, Chen Chen was not sure if the few Black Knights alone could stop her.
Since he knew the result, Chen Chen no longer hesitated. He finally opened Ghost in the Shell and extracted the protagonist of the movie, Moko Kusanagi. Just like Alita, what Chen Chen extracted was an empty shell.
Although it was just an empty shell, the technology on the shell was an eye-opener for Chen Chen.
After disassembling Moko Kusanagi's body structure, apart from optical stealth technology, the most obvious feature was a device called an electronic brain.
This electronic brain could wrap around brain tissue. While protecting the brain, it could also help the brain perform electronic calculations. At the same time, it also had powerful networking capabilities. The electronic structure was linked to the entire body to provide protection and supply.
Moreover, this electronic brain that wrapped around the brain was made of a material similar to high-offset armor. This meant that even if a powerful bomb attack was to only destroy Moko Kusanagi's body, there was a high chance that her brain would be preserved. Moreover, the electronic brain was equipped with shock absorption and life-support devices to increase the survival rate of Moko Kusanagi's brain.
At that time, the process of changing into a new body would be simplified to the extent of only two steps.
Step one: Extract the brain. Step two: Place it into the desired body.
To put it simply, with this device, not only could one constantly change bodies, but they would also receive auxiliary abilities similar to the God chip. Moreover, one would not have to worry about getting their head blown up.
Emmmm...
Chen Chen thought about it. Although it was indeed very practical, for some reason, this kind of modification gave Chen Chen a strange feeling.
Brain in a vat?
Chen Chen suddenly thought of this term.
This was because once the brain was electronically transformed, it meant that there was no way back.
This was because when the electronic brain wrapped around the brain, it naturally had to first separate the brainstem from the cerebellum to separate the nerves. After these nerves were separated, they could no longer be reconnected.
Although one could continuously change bodies at that time, one would never be able to find their original body again.
Moreover, when that time came, how would one know that one's brain was not being hijacked and that everything in one's mind was just an illusion created by the other party?
This was the definition of a brain in a vat.
However, even if Chen Chen did not like this technology, he had to admit that it was still an epoch-making technology. It infinitely increased the survival rate of human beings in the face of various accidents such as car accidents and gunshots. If this could be achieved, mankind could live a life without worries.
Alita's body was even more advanced. In addition to the antimatter heart, the full name of the heart was — antimatter energy reactor, something even more ridiculous than a nuclear fusion reactor.
The energy conversion efficiency of nuclear fusion was about 6 to 7%, but the energy conversion rate of antimatter could reach 100%.
What kind of concept was this?
If one gram of antimatter was completely converted into energy, it would be approximately
E = mc ² = 0.001 kg × (300000000 ms ²)
= 90 billion kilojoules = 90 million megajoules.
It was known that the energy released by the explosion of a ton of TNT explosives was about 4180 megajoules. 90 million megajoules divided by 4180 was 21.52 million.
In other words, completely converting one gram of antimatter into energy was equivalent to 21.52 million tons of TNT explosives, which was equivalent to the power of 1000 Nagasaki atomic bombs.
There was once a popular saying on the Internet, "Bench Explodes the Earth". This meant that the mass of a bench was completely converted into energy and could release the power to destroy the Earth. This saying was true, but no matter what, it was difficult to completely convert a bench into energy.
However, antimatter was different.
Antimatter was the opposite of matter. According to the observations of scientists, any antimatter that came into contact with matter would quickly undergo an annihilation reaction and release 100% of its energy.
This was the same for Alita's antimatter heart.
This was not to say that Alita's heart was made of antimatter. Her heart was actually an antimatter reactor. The technology involved in this reactor, first of all, was vacuum magnetic confinement technology. This was because only vacuum magnetic confinement could create an environment for antimatter that would not come into contact with any matter.
Moreover, because the energy released by the annihilation of matter and antimatter was extremely large, only a few grams of antimatter storage in Alita's body was needed to provide her with power for hundreds or thousands of years.
Alita did not die after sleeping in the garbage for three hundred years, relying on the energy provided by the antimatter heart to protect her brain.
