Chapter 43 The Stairway to Immortality

Sikong Ling introduced the eternal ladder to Duanmu Ming: "Many people believe that in the distant future, with the development of biotechnology, human beings will definitely have the ability to make themselves immortal. If this day is too far away, human beings will feel that it has nothing to do with themselves. But there are quite smart people who have thought that it is not in the distant future, but in the present, the eternal ladder begins to open the door to us. The development of technology is gradual. What can we do for the great cause of eternal life with our contemporary technical means? Answer

The case is: Nothing has to be done, just live. About fifty years. During this time, biotechnology continues to accumulate and brew at an increasingly faster rate. Unfortunately, with the time when I said these words, about one-fifth of people cannot pass this level, and they cannot imagine what they will miss. For half of the remaining people, as long as they follow a healthy lifestyle and consider the development of medicine, it is entirely possible to live for half a century. The other half of the lucky young people will definitely pass.

In this way, you will embark on the second ladder of immortality. The technology at this stage mainly consists of two: human hibernation and cloning technology. Before seeing this smart man's guess, I heard of the technology of freezing the human body in an ultra-low temperature environment of liquid nitrogen. However, this technology is too difficult and cannot be realized in the near future, because if you put the human body at this low temperature, it is likely to irreversibly destroy the human body. No matter how advanced the technology is, it will not be possible to resurrect. The reliable human sleep technology mentioned here is the reliable human body sleeping technology mentioned here.

Surgery refers to the temperature that the living human body can accept, such as minus forty degrees below 40 degrees, which greatly reduces the metabolism and other physiological speeds of the human body in an unconscious state, such as reducing it to one tenth of the normal physiological state. In this way, you can live for a hundred years with a ten-year lifespan. This technique also sounds quite complicated, but it is completely possible. You think that hot-blooded mammals like bears are born with the ability to hibernate, and theoretically there is no problem, and it is completely possible to achieve it within 50 years.

I feel that this kind of technology requires no exaggeration. In the future, I will invest 100 million to play every year without any pressure."

Duanmu Ming: "Continue telling the story."

Sikong Ling: "Well, there are always many solutions for the development of this technology. If hibernation technology cannot be realized, there is another alternative: cloning technology. The body evolved by the Creator is so wonderful. In addition to the genes of the human body, no matter how similar the organs of other people are, they will also produce rejection reactions. With this technology, humans can use newly grown organs to replace the aged organs, just like when the parts of the machine are broken and replaced with new ones. They are really old, so they take out the brain and place them in a completely young body. It sounds quite terrible, yes, this one is cloned but not

The body of consciousness will create terrible ethical problems. The United States is an extremely conservative country, and even artificial abortions are so controversial, let alone this kind of biotechnology that challenges the traditional bottom line. You know why I scolded the anti-science US President Bush Jr. in an interview with CNN, right? The United States is the most technologically advanced country, but artificial obstacles are likely to cause cloning technology to fail to make a breakthrough in the United States. The people of Nordics are much more enlightened. If they don’t work, I will go to Nordics. If they don’t work, I can go back to China. It seems that China is more anti-science... I can even consider North Korea and Korea, but I am also a person with no moral integrity anyway."

Duanmu Ming: "Well, tell the story."

Sikong Ling: "Oh, this level is an important step in the breakthrough of human dreams of immortality. If hibernation cannot be done, there will be cloning. If cloning cannot be done, there will be something else. In short, this level can allow you to cross another century and step onto the third level. The technology just now at the second level can delay aging, but not real immortality. Even if all your bodies are replaced by young people, your brain will inevitably age. If technology stops here, then you will still die. One day, at the third level, technology is information.

Extraction, extract all the consciousness in the aging brain and store it in the form of data. This has entered the field of science fiction and requires a large number of theoretical and technological breakthroughs in biology, information science and brain science, but it is not fantasy. The brain is stored and thought through the interconnection of huge numbers of neurons. As long as you have a deep understanding of this interconnection pattern and mechanism, all information of the brain can be extracted. This is no essential difference from reading data from a hard disk. It is theoretically possible to achieve.

In addition to storage, the development of computers can also simulate the operation of the human brain, so that you can live in a virtual world. In fact, the virtual world is better, and there is the real paradise—a paradise in two senses: one, you die, ** is gone, and two, you live in a superb perfect world above the earth. The distribution on demand that the communist and priest fantasized by the Communist Party of China was actually impossible. Food can be distributed, clothes can be distributed, and love can be distributed? There is only one Murong Bingxue in the world, either yours, or mine. If it were in the era of the three-stage ladder, you can copy one copy, and you and I will be the same..."

Duanmu Ming said annoyedly: "Shut up. Don't talk about Murong."

Sikong Ling: "This is three hundred years later... Well, let's not talk about this. Heaven is not easy to reach. At this time, human beings are divided into two categories. No one or the law forces you. It depends on your own enlightenment. Is it more yearning for the beauty of heaven? Or is it more fearful of your own destruction? No matter what you think, if you are digitalized, you will be immortal for your relatives. In addition to being able to live by your side, chatting with you QQ and talking on video calls is exactly the same. Living in the virtual world can also allow you to have God.

With such ability, you can take risks in an unlimited and wonderful world. No matter what happens, you can be resurrected at any time. No matter how others struggle, I must kill myself and enter this perfect world. So, even in the eternal generation, I will only live for about three hundred years, and go to death without hesitation, and live forever. You naive people always think that death is a terrible thing, I don’t think. Live, do what you want to do the most, everything else is a rustic chicken, a glimpse of the sky, and die, with your greatest energy, and live forever in the eyes of others."

Duanmu Ming: "Thinking of this is good. Uh... is it over? Just these three steps?"

Sikong Ling: "It's almost the same. Of course, if there is a fourth level, there is also a digitalized person, which means turning the digitalized person into a living person who is roaming around. In fact, this last level is not much attractive. Can people who are used to being gods seal their own divine power and experience the life of mortals? It's hard to say, let's see, maybe there will be a great god who is tired of omnipotent life and return to this mortal world where there are many bonds. If you want to love, you may not have love, and if you want to hate, you may not have to hate. If you stay in heaven for a long time, you will become a boring hell, so let's return to the world."

Duanmu Ming smiled: "It is indeed possible. When you say this, I think this world is very interesting. Having everything means losing everything. Only when you yearn for every thing you yearn for requires you to pay a price, and you may not get it, that is interesting."

Sikong Ling gave a thumbs up and praised, "Okay, you finally understand. I have to admit that your wisdom is at the same level as me. Gain means losing, because you no longer yearn for it. The more terrible death is, the more it proves that you live happily and joyfully. If your father lives so painfully, death is a kind of relief. Isn't it funny that you feel pain for the great liberation of a person who dies? What's even more funny is to worry about impossible things. If I get a terminal illness, I will forget it at all, remembering that this kind of boring thing that cannot be changed is not my style."

Duanmu Ming let out a long sigh and said, "Sikong Ling is indeed amazing. There is something I can't compare to. It makes me feel that life and death are no big deal. The depression in my heart disappeared all of a sudden. This time I am really... convinced."

Sikong Ling: "Are you convinced? Then... do you think I deserve your mother?"

Duanmu Ming's angry fist is accumulating momentum.

Sikong Ling hurriedly blocked in advance and said, "Take a slow stop! If you want to invest, I will be your boss. Don't be in trouble!"

Duanmu Ming, who knew the current affairs, stopped his fist and asked: "Didn't you say Twitter has been separated?"

Sikong Ling: "Twitter is out of the way. I have to separate common stocks and founder stocks to control them in the future after listing and financing. However, other projects have opportunities. Ujs projects will be the same as 10 billion yuan in the future, especially with the trend of Twitter, the Ujs community is now exploding. Have you not noticed this? The construction of data centers just takes money, so take all your money. How much does it cost to buy the shares? Sell that restaurant quickly. How much money can you make in a restaurant?"

Duanmu Ming shook his head: "No, I said that my father's lifelong efforts, even if he doesn't make money, he will not sell it, just treat it as... If he really dies, leave a souvenir. The hotel is called Zigong Hotel, Duanmu Ci, whose courtesy name is Zigong, is the ancestor of our Duanmu family. The father I once hated has always lived a painful life and has always loved us. Alas... This makes me more painful."

Sikong Ling said lightly: "It's me, so go to the Netherlands, where you can be euthanized. The pain reaches a critical point, so leave. What's the point of nostalgia for a painful world? The greatest country in the world often reminds me of the name of the Netherlands."

Duanmu Ming: "Well, if I see him in pain, I will tell him."

Sikong Ling: "Hey, there is a way. You can mortgage the hotel to borrow money. This way you can also raise ten million. ten million... I think... I can give you 25% of the equity, and this will be 2.5 billion US dollars in the future. Just now."

Duanmu Ming: "This... seems to be possible."

Sikong Ling: "I can't lose money if I have any problems. I will pay you DoubleClick's stock. DoubleClick's cash flow is pretty good, so I will definitely not lose it."

Duanmuming: "There is an obstacle here. My acquisition of the property from my father may be disturbed by his son."

Then he talked about what happened to Mr. Yu.

Sikong Ling said angrily: "There is such a disgusting person? He deserves to be the son of that ugly woman. Damn, I haven't settled the account for her last time when she shot me. Since that's the case, I notified LAPD and arrested her, and privately 10 million yuan to see if they dare to make trouble."

Duanmu Ming: "This matter... can the witnesses at that time be found?"

Sikong Ling: "It should be no problem. You should first see if it goes well. If it doesn't go well, let's go this way. Your father is a witness, your mother is also a witness, and I have gunshot wounds. A policeman stopped my car at that time, which is also considered one. The most important thing is the clerk, he is a third party. It is best if there is a surveillance in the store. Even if there is not, the surveillance on the roadside can indirectly prove that the woman was present at that time."

After discussing how to calculate the Yu family, the two discussed how to do Ujs cloud service for most of the day. It seemed that Ujs was going to change its name. Ujs was just like an open source development language and could not meet the heavy responsibility of cloud service.

Sikong Ling smiled strangely and said, "Just call it iServer, it's super simple, and i...it's easy to guess. What do you mean?"

Duanmu Ming: "Internet?"

Sikong Ling: "As the right answer! I love this simple and clear name, iServer, is IaaS cloud, iUJS is PaaS, and UJS refers to an open source development language. What is the name of the SaaS project in China? "

Duanmu Ming: "iSaaS?"

Sikong Ling: "Oh? It's not that good. It's too professional to call SaaS directly. It looks unclear at first glance. Take the first two iSofts?"

Duanmu Ming: "Okay, iSoftware is OK."

Sikong Ling: "This is not bad. Let's talk about both of them. I tend to be simpler. After Microsoft used software, everyone knows that software refers to software."

Duanmu Ming: "Why do you think iServer is worth 10 billion? I still don't understand what kind of potential is it to build a good server? Of course, I really feel good about it. It has many problems, such as: if it is completely controlled by us, will it gain the trust of large companies? Will the server specifications we formulated turn away most programmers?"

Sikong Ling: "A very mature company will certainly have its own server group, but if their server group virtualization is not done well, it will be very expensive. With a limited budget, once a sudden peak occurs, the server will be easily overloaded. Twitter is a typical example. Maybe there will be a hot spot at any time and the traffic will surge. If we don't have iServer as support, we will definitely not develop as it is now. Also, we should take Amazon as an example. When the Christmas procurement season is overflowing, if users are not prepared, they will be over. Whether our iServer is good or not is the sign of whether it can be

It attracts companies like Amazon to use it. User trust is easy to deal with. As long as the other party is willing to pay, we will build a data center for them separately. The reason why iServer uses the simplest Linux as the foundation is to improve the efficiency of virtualization. This is like a confrontation between a streamlined instruction set and a complex instruction set. At the beginning, the complex instruction set has strong functions and good compatibility. Everyone likes to use it, but the streamlined instruction set simplifies instructions and does not waste CPU, and will eventually surpass the complex instruction set in performance. Servers are different from platforms. Users will not waste money to be more comfortable to use. They will learn to use our server specifications.

Why is iServer valuable? On the one hand, it is easy to use, cheap, and on the other hand, it is powerful. How can ordinary companies afford so many idle servers to deal with emergencies? So our iServer is to unify global computing resources and allocate them reasonably. If Google and Yahoo can be fooled to use iServer, are you worth it?"

Duanmu Ming thought deeply and considered a lot of things to develop iServer, and for the time being the troubles that came from his father were temporarily left behind.

Finally, Duanmu clearly determined to invest in the iServer project and gained a considerable 25% stake in iServer.

Duanmu Ming: "Okay, that's it. It's still early. I'll find a place to go. Are you going with me?"

Sikong Ling had nothing to do today, so it was also good to accompany his Chinese fellow countrymen, and said, "Go, where do you want to go?"

Duanmu Ming: "You are a local snake, tell me."

Sikong Ling: "Hey, I've only been to Central Park, oh, and I have also been to the Museum of Modern Art. I haven't been to anywhere else. I'm too busy."

Duanmu Ming: "Oh? You still go to such a cultural place in the art museum?"

Sikong Ling blushed: "This... a well-educated girl took me there, just take a look."

Duanmu Ming was not happy or worried: "I have another girlfriend, but it's normal. Otherwise, why would you not return to China every few months?"

Sikong Ling: "Uh...no, I am an ordinary female alumnus from Stanford, and also a fellow Chinese fellow, Lilou, a well-educated girl. By the way, let's find her as a tour guide."

He called Lilou to the cafe. Not to mention that Lilou is nothing important, even if there is, it is not more important than the boss's order, so she rushed over.

He actually wanted to go out with her. Li Lu was very happy: "That's great, the boss asked him to go out for fun. What a great thing. Handsome guys, where do you want to go?"

Sikong Ling: "We want to ask you to be a tour guide, and we will go wherever you take us."
