"Relying solely on current sampling accuracy and reconstruction theory has essentially reached its limit."
"To truly bring Fujin back to life, breakthroughs are needed in two areas. Improving imaging accuracy can only be achieved after breakthroughs in materials science, when I collect more advanced components to further enhance the accuracy of MRI."
"And mind restructuring theory—that's why I hope you can help me."
"After all, you study the fundamental principles of cultivation."
"I suspect that the reason why the digital brain experienced abnormal oscillation signals within a minute, leading to its loss of control and collapse, is that the Nascent Soul stage cultivator has already built a core part of his consciousness on the psionic structure."
"I need the technology to recover this information from the remnants of the collapsed psionic structure."
After Qin Youyin learned from Ye Yang the theory of mind reconstruction that he had explored and established during this period, Ye Yang told Qin Youyin about the difficulties he had encountered.
Qin Youyin thought for a moment and said, "The phenomenon of spiritual energy structure participating in the thought process actually appears in cultivators from the very beginning of cultivation. And after the Foundation Establishment stage, the kind of core consciousness transfer you mentioned will indeed occur."
"In fact, as cultivation levels advance, theoretically our goal is to cultivate ourselves into a kind of life form entirely based on spiritual energy. Apart from the core Dao and soul, everything else is formless and intangible; perhaps that kind of life could be called an Immortal."
"I believe the reason you've consistently failed is that you've overlooked the existence of the 'Tao.' Spiritual power and the soul both have corresponding mathematical models in your theory of mind reconstruction, yet you haven't incorporated the 'Tao' into it."
Ye Yang frowned in thought: "The Dao?"
Currently, in humanity's exploration of the immortal system, the realm of enlightenment is limited to only two levels: "Dao Intent" and "Dao Rhyme".
The effect is simply to give practitioners exceptional control or amplification over certain things or phenomena.
In Ye Yang's understanding, this should be a special experience that he grasped and remembered in a flash of inspiration.
Rather than some real substance or interaction.
"You haven't entered the Daoist realm yet, have you?" Qin Youyin stared at him.
Ye Yang scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "I haven't put much effort into this aspect, haha."
Qin Youyin shook her head, and a ball of water-attribute spiritual energy surged from her hand, constantly changing, enveloped in a faint, shimmering light.
"I can now confirm that the power of Dao is indeed a real force, and it is a more idealistic and complex force than psychic energy."
"Fu Jin also comprehended the Dao, so his thinking must have extended to some indescribable realm. If you also comprehend the Dao, you will understand that you will become different from before."
Ye Yang couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is different?"
Qin Youyin shook her head: "I don't know, I just have this feeling, but I can't explain it."
She used the human body as an analogy: "When I was a child, I didn't know that there were large and small intestines, heart, liver, spleen and lungs in a person's stomach, but if I ate something bad, I could feel discomfort in my stomach."
The perception of the "Tao" is this feeling: knowing that it exists, but not knowing its essence.
With the addition of Qin Youyin, Ye Yang's research finally began to progress slowly again.
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The world doesn't stop turning because of the death or disappearance of one or two people.
As times progress and change rapidly, some practitioners among humanity have finally come to understand the existence of the "Taoist form".
In order to combat patriarchal ideology and reduce the living space of the remnants of the rebellion, civilization began to invest a lot of resources in the construction of Uranus and Neptune, and attempted to develop the Kuiper Belt, but it was not successful.
"Are you about to leave?"
Inside the quiet base, Qin Youyin looked at Ye Yang, who was preparing for his trip, with a worried expression.
"Yes, the parameters of a newly developed super magnetic component have reached the standard of my next-generation imager design. If it can be built, the resolution can be increased to the 20-nanometer level, which I think is more than enough."
Ye Yang made his final preparations: "I'll be back soon, don't worry."
The zither nodded.
This trip to Ganymede's black market to purchase components is extremely dangerous.
Once Ye Yang, this wanted criminal, is captured and identified by the civilized monitoring system, he will likely face an inescapable and overwhelming manhunt.
Qin Youyin originally suggested that she go by herself, but after all, she had been missing in civilization for so many years, and her sudden appearance would definitely attract attention.
If we need to infiltrate undetected, it would be better to send Ye Yang, who has a higher level of cultivation.
As he left the base, Ye Yang tilted his head slightly and sighed, "I'm sorry."
"What?" Qin Youyin was stunned. When she looked at Ye Yang again, he had already flown far away.
Ye Yang's unusual behavior before departure did not particularly concern Qin Youyin. She simply returned to the base and continued to deduce the theory of mind reconstruction in her manuscript.
Over the years, she has been immersed in her research with Ye Yang and has gradually come to believe that reviving Ye Fujin is not an impossible task.
Perhaps their research will benefit humanity, freeing us from the constraints of our fragile bodies and allowing us to roam freely in various mediums such as the physical body, soul, and computer, using the most essential form of information.
At that time, these carriers will just be houses, and people who exist in the form of information can choose their living environment at will.
This is probably even more carefree than the so-called "immortals".
"By the way, why did that guy put an encrypted hidden file on the server?"
Two days later, when Qin Youyin was doing a simulation on the server, she accidentally discovered that the storage space of a hard drive was a bit strange.
After some investigation, a hidden folder was found, which was full of encrypted compressed files.
And the name of this folder is—Study Materials!
"Haha, what's this guy doing? He's so old and still looking at this stuff—let me see, the most recent read time is 13 years ago, which is less than two years since I came here!"
"Password—wrong, none of them are right—"
Qin Youyin tried several passwords that Ye Yang commonly used, but she couldn't crack them.
So she copied one of the encrypted files and tried to decrypt it.
Anyway, we're just waiting for the server to run the simulation model, and we're basically just sitting around doing nothing until the calculation results come out.
In the end, of course, she failed to decipher the code.
After the simulation ended, the matter was left aside.
Four days later, Qin Youyin tried again to rebuild Ye Fujin's mental model.
The server contains more than 10 imaging data sets. Through the mind reconstruction fitting program, corresponding personality data and mind models can be extracted from these data.
Then Qin Youyin saw the compressed file copied from the "learning materials".
"Why is the size of this file almost the same as the extracted data?"
She frowned; her intuition told her that something was amiss.
So she threw the compressed file into the fitting program without knowing why she did it.
But the program didn't report any errors! On the contrary, the runtime logs showed that it could actually fit a thought model from the compressed file?
After analyzing this strange situation, she came to a somewhat shocked conclusion: "It's actually possible to do that?"
'
"The fitting program analyzes and extracts the correlations between data. Even if this data is encrypted and compressed, becoming completely different from the original data, these encryption and compression algorithms are reversible, and the meaningful information contained in the data" has not been tampered with.
"A square, no matter how it is translated, rotated, enlarged, or shrunk, will still be a square as long as it is not distorted!"
"There are mental models in the compressed files with the '-fj' extension in this 'Study Materials' folder!"
Isn't FJ just Fujin?
Qin Youyin then looked at the other compressed files with the .vw extension.
"Therefore, these should be the log files of the virtual environment that carries the mental model."
After some tinkering, she deduced the password for the compressed file containing the mind model, and found that all the compressed files in the folder had the same password.
So Qin Youyin opened up Ye Yang's "reconstruction of Ye Fujin" in the first six months of research, as well as all the records of interaction through the virtual environment.
【0023】
"Old Yang, I feel a little dizzy?"
"It's okay, feeling dizzy is normal, just relax."
In the virtual environment, Ye Fujin's virtual body could barely stand: "Wait a minute, I can't see anything clearly anymore, oh my god, it's all packed with stuff~~"
"Ugh... Ahhhhh!!!"
After running for 12 seconds, Ye Fujin on the screen clutched his head and screamed in agony, while Ye Yang in the real-world camera, who was also Ye Yang on the screen in the virtual world, looked helpless and disappointed.
"Failed again? This is a dying brain—"
【0129】
"Hahahahahaha—wait, haha, that's weird—why can't I stop laughing? Hahahahahahaha—"
Ye Fujin couldn't stop laughing in the virtual environment.
"What's going on?" Ye Yang, captured on the camera, looked puzzled, his eyes constantly scanning something, presumably checking the operational data of his thought model on a screen.
Ye Fujin was still smiling.
All he could do was laugh; he couldn't say or do anything else, he just sat on the ground laughing loudly.
【0184】
"I'm dead? I'm actually dead?"
"Old Yang, this isn't fair! I've been waiting, waiting for you to be with Sister Youyin so I could finally give up, but why can't I wait?"
"Now that I'm dead, you can be with her without any guilt, right? But why didn't you do it while I was alive? Did I get in your way?"
"I just want to give up completely and let go. Can't you even let me live a little more peacefully?"
"Look me in the eyes and answer me!"
This time, the virtual Ye Fujin had a ferocious expression and roared at Ye Yang in the camera.
He suddenly looked enlightened: "Oh—right, this is a virtual environment, so you can add items freely here?"
He stared anxiously at the screen in the virtual world: "Quick!"
"You have Sister Yin in real life, but I have nothing here!"
"Quickly create a body for me in her image! Quickly create one!"
"Aren't we brothers? Let me have my fun! I—"
The virtual world was immediately suspended, and Ye Yang was operating something in front of the camera with a blank expression.
At this moment, Qin Youyin, who was listening to the record, couldn't help but bite her lip and hug herself.
It seems like I feel very cold.
"No, that thing isn't Ye Fujin," she murmured.
Qin Youyin couldn't quite describe her feelings at that moment, but she did feel a bit creeped out.
Now she realized once again that all the research they were doing was indeed toying with souls and blaspheming the dead.
"No wonder Ye Yang has only done theoretical research with me all these years; he's never even done a full-process test of the mental model."
"The first time I saw Fu Jin's mental model in operation, he shut it down early on."
Qin Youyin knew that everyone has dark thoughts, but in the minds of normal people, such thoughts are mostly fleeting and are quickly suppressed by other normal thoughts.
However, the mental model they have constructed is still flawed, or rather, the original mental model could not be perfectly extracted from Ye Fujin's brain.
In short, in these tests, she only saw people who had been "resurrected," repeatedly experiencing various hallucinations...
Driven by extreme emotions and out-of-control logic.
They were all diseased and rotten.
However—as a Golden Core Peak cultivator who has lived for over a hundred years, Qin Youyin is not that fragile.
She knew that if she wanted to rebuild Ye Fujin's complete mental model and revive him, then all this suffering was necessary.
She adjusted her mood almost instantly because she was willing to believe in Ye Yang and wanted to bring her deceased old friend back to life.
However, [0184] was only paused by Ye Yang and the recording has not ended yet.
Qin Youyin noticed that Ye Yang in the camera was expressionless and his eyes were very calm.
There was no sign of being offended or angered, nor did he display any other emotion.
He spoke with utmost calmness and rationality, muttering to himself, "Another failure. This new architecture couldn't even last a minute?"
"As expected, one person can't do it alone. It seems I need to call Youyin over for help as soon as possible, but before that, I need to create a decent 'demonstration' model."
"Ye Yang, sitting in front of the camera in the recorded footage," he said in an extremely calm tone.
Compared to the frustration and pain he felt after his initial failure, he now seemed completely unmoved by Ye Fujin's performance.
Simply analyze the results of the experiment, calmly summarize the reasons for the failure, and then try again.
"We can't draw conclusions after just one test; let's do it again."
"Ye Yang" said calmly.
End of record.
Qin Youyin stared at the recording that had ended, speechless for a long time.
