"According to the results of this experint, when the brain operates at 3.2-3.5 tis speed, it generates excessive heat, leading to overheating and oxygen deprivation. The heart rate also increases accordingly, causing so operational issues. If this continues, a large number of neurons will prematurely age and die, and if these problems are allowed to expand, it will result in catastrophic consequences."
"... Premature aging, brain strokes, mory loss, high blood pressure, or drastic personality changes, all these are possible."
This is the nature of the neuronal brain; no matter how much it’s modified, it cannot break through the limits.
The professor continued, "If bionic modifications are made, it might slightly raise the limit... but the main restriction is still the neuronal structure. We cannot endlessly increase the thinking speed of the neuronal brain; we would have to completely overhaul it, achieve silicon-based modification, and even alter the thoughts to reach higher thinking speeds."
After a pause, Yamamoto Ichiro interjected, "Listen to , everyone. If we completely abandon the physical limitations in reality and disregard the neuronal brain’s restrictions, and conduct the entire experint in the Virtual World, I believe that the thinking pattern of humans, reaching five tis speed, is already a limit, any faster would collapse."
"That’s the limit."
Zhang Yuan nodded and sighed, the experintal results were roughly as predicted.
In the Virtual World, various paraters can be freely set, and factors like heart rate and blood pressure won’t cause the experint to fail. Therefore, the experintal results will be slightly better than in reality.
The greatest limitation, however, is instead the human thinking pattern; five tis is the limit, and this data is far from satisfactory for humans.
In the later stages of the experint, Zhang Yuan’s mind was flooded with a plethora of miscellaneous thoughts, making it difficult to concentrate on thinking. One part of the reason was physiological limitations, and another part was related to the human thinking pattern.
The less pure the thinking, the more distractions there are, and the worse the effect of thought acceleration.
For soone like him, it was already quite decent. So people would frequently get distracted during work, thinking about other things like food, the opposite sex, entertainnt, etc. Such distractions are actually a form of the brain’s lazy instinct, feeling a bit tired and thus getting distracted, a habit that cannot be changed.
Once thought acceleration kicks in, the number of distractions per unit of ti increases, making it impossible to continue working.
In contrast to humans, naturally, is the Alliance’s Half-sphere Civilization.
Regarding the Half-sphere people’s acceleration experints, in a fully virtual world environnt, the entire thought process could reach two hundred tis speed without collapsing!
One is five tis, and the other is two hundred tis, and it is obvious to anyone the disparity between them.
This disparity leaves all the workers with a heavy heart. What does two hundred tis speed an? Almost omnipotence! Two hundred tis the output!
This is the benefit of modified thinking.
After summarizing the experint report, everyone sighed and packed up their things, leaving the laboratory.
Yamamoto stood nearby and said, "Currently, the Half-sphere Civilization can achieve a thought speed of two hundred tis, yet they still haven’t reached the expected results..."
"They are currently sorting out so potentially conflicting points in the mory template. If these conflicts can be resolved, after the next update of the mory template, achieving higher speeds like five hundred tis, or even a thousand tis, is possible."
"Of course, limited by the physical body and the neuronal brain in reality, their normal thought speed can only reach 2-3 tis... but this is already a good result. After this, the neuronal brain still has to be abandoned."
"After thought acceleration, there were slight changes in their entire societal behavior patterns, their daily routines altered, with slightly longer rest tis each day, and so traditional video gas discarded. The whole person’s actions are like in fast-forward..."
Zhang Yuan remained silent and did not speak; he had observed the experintal zone of the Half-sphere Civilization before.
These Half-sphere people in the experintal state were completely different from their normal state. The entire pace was like being fast-forwarded, even when playing Mahjong, it was crackling at double the original speed...
However, the bionic bodies of the Half-sphere Civilization could withstand the strains, enabling their speed to increase to double the original.
But, if in the future their speed increases to ten tis, or even two hundred tis, even bionic bodies could not accelerate to several hundred tis, so the entire movent pattern would still need to be changed...
This is just their behavior model at two tis speed, far from the final endpoint.
He could hardly imagine what it would be like for humans to have true light-speed thinking... perhaps like the Ji Haman Civilization encountered by the Dyson Sphere, seeming dazed like robots, yet actually thinking at light-speed in their minds, making the external movent not as important.
"By the way, is the compilation of the movent module complete?"
"Of course it’s completed, without too much difficulty. But this module can only be used after the thought modifications have been made, and we’ve never experinted with it."
Zhang Yuan gazed into the distance, the starry sky under Curvature Navigation was almost pitch black, and he said with a hint of profundity, "The next phase of the experint is finally about to begin."
...
One morning after the experint ended, Zhang Yuan got up early to attend the new session of the Scientific Council. Due to the explosive progress of the Half-sphere Civilization in recent years, the internal pressure within the New Human Civilization was imnse.
This external expression was visible to anyone, so of the new generation of the Half-sphere Civilization was born with 2000 years of work experience, much like the Saints of the past. Additionally, a significant portion of their people have modified their thinking and used the 2 tis thought acceleration technology.
This way, the work output per unit ti and unit population has already surpassed humanity!
What is even more alarming is that this current state is almost the limit for humans, but the Half-sphere Civilization has not yet exerted its full strength... they can continue to progress in the future, even accelerating thoughts to ten thousand tis, a hundred thousand tis!
The Unreal Laboratory is currently helping the Half-sphere Civilization upgrade from neuronal brains to bio-brains with graphene and Carbon Nanotube as cores, and there have already been a few successful cases in this area!
Even the general public has begun to push the managent to enact changes at the level of public opinion.
Of course, the average people speaking out is very simple; they see the problem but don’t know how to solve it. In short, their desire for change is an admirable point.
Therefore, both private individuals and the official high-level are brewing a great reform.
This step, no matter what, is one that humans must take!
We can’t delay anymore!
"... Currently, the advanced experintal technologies of the Half-sphere Civilization are all provided by us. With large-scale experintation, the prerequisite technologies like thought modification, thought acceleration, and consciousness upload have matured. The main issue still lies in how to modify the thinking..."
Zhang Yuan stood on the stage, listing a series of data, and released the latest research reports from the past few years.
