Nelson’s speculation shocked many of the audience.
According to Nelson’s speculation, this woman was probably unconscious.
What Raymond wanted to do was to bring this unconscious woman back to life.
Was this something that humans could do?
Had Raymond reached the level of men playing gods?
Many viewers speculated, but they did not dare to send out such bullet comments!
Nelson did not stop.
“Actually, a long time ago, I saw such a comment on the internet. And I quote: An uploaded consciousness is its own individual!”
Nelson seemed to think of his pre-Area 53 career.
A look of reminiscence appeared on his face.
“Actually, I agree with this view!
“I won’t try to play it safe. I’ll just say what I think!
“The human consciousness is in the human brain. It changes through the pulses of neurotransmitters. Whether our consciousness has substance or not, I haven’t verified it!
“It is said that the soul weighs 23 grams. This theory stems from the fact that after a person dies, they will lose 23 grams, and that those missing 23 grams is the human soul.
“I am not sure about this theory!
“However, whether you copy and paste or cut and paste a consciousness, none of them are the original! I agree with this theory!
“During the process of transference, the brain waves are converted into electrical signals.
“Electrical signal can be replicated! Be it memories or thoughts, they can be replicated.
“So, does that mean that we can be replicated?
“So is our consciousness being replicated? Think about It!”
After saying this, Nelson stopped talking.
He let those words sink in.
It was a heavy topic.
In less than five seconds, the chat turned into a flurry.
[Thunder God is powerful, but if such technology appears, I definitely won’t use it. Not even if I want to live longer!]
[I suddenly feel terrible! Has Thunder God mastered this power?]
[If this technology matures and our consciousness can be replaced, where the simple act of modifying our memories could be carried out, will our thoughts be the same as before?]
[You’re something else. I never thought it that far, but now you’ve convinced me!]
[Memories are replaced… forget it, I suddenly feel that Thunder God’s technology should not be allowed to appear!]
[Thank you, Professor Nelson, for dispelling that horrible thought of mine! I only want it to be me, even if it’s a copy of me, it’s not me anymore!]
[You’re overthinking this. He won’t use such technology without our consent. He’s just going to experiment on the woman.]
[Such social and ethical problems, I don’t think the entire world would stand passively by.]
[Tell me, if you were to duplicate 100,000 of a particularly powerful special forces soldier, wouldn’t that be terrifying?
[That’s your plan? If it were me, I would duplicate Raymond first. Then mankind would rule the universe!]
[ … ]
It had to be said that the netizens had many different ideas.
There were some ideas that even Nelson had not thought of.
However, most of them agreed on one thing.
After all, no one wanted to be replaced by someone else.
“Alright, I’ve seen your thoughts!
“Let’s not discuss this anymore. Even though we’re well-informed, I still feel scared!
“Next, let me talk about brainwaves.
“Based on what Raymond said earlier, I can roughly guess his thoughts.
“There’s an extra component in that woman’s brain, and the function of that thing is to receive brainwaves!
“Now, let’s put this question aside and talk about phones.
“Many netizens will ask, we’re talking about such high-end things, what does it have to do with the phone?
“Actually, I just want to mention something! The reception and transmission of the signal!
“The signal of the phone is essentially an electromagnetic wave, many netizens may be clear about it!
“Using electromagnetic waves, I have achieved the ability of wireless communication!
“The utilization of electromagnetic waves is undoubtedly promoting the development of our civilization!
“Since electromagnetic waves can be received and transmitted, then what about our brainwaves? Is it possible…
“What we know now is that my brainwaves can be received!
“In other words, our brains can emit brainwaves!
“As for brainwaves, we don’t seem to have such an ability!
“But we don’t have it. That woman who isn’t breathing has it!
“I’m basically certain of this now!
“Alright, here comes the most crucial question!
“If we can receive brainwaves, can we transmit them?
“If we can, can we transmit consciousness?
“If this condition is fulfilled, then this woman can be resurrected!”
There was actually a lot that Nelson did not say.
These ordinary netizens would not understand the details.
What he said was enough for them to mull over.
If they were actually on the same brainwaves, it only meant that these netizens were going crazy.
[I suddenly thought of something even more terrifying! If we were unwittingly implanted with something that could receive brain waves, then would we still be ourselves? Will we still be able to make our own decisions?]
[This technology should not be seen on the face of earth. After all, it has already violated human ethics.]
[Some evil if necessary. Also, if this technology is ready, then we can all stop using cell phones and send messages directly from brain waves.]
[You’re a weird one. But the convenience you mentioned is… intriguing.]
[If I’ve got a mobile device in my head, I’m going to be spammed with adverts all the time! Capitalism is absolutely terrifying!]
[Oh god. You’re right. Hell no to that!]
[Quickly, stop him before he goes too far!]
[Thunder God is so scary, I love it!]
[Cyberpunk, we’re receiving it on early access, sign me up! Whatever it is, we’ll be part of history!]
[This is reality, folks.]
