The suburb of Boston, is situated to occupy a land area of over a hundred mu research institute. 波士顿的郊区,坐落着一座占地上百亩的研究所。 This research institute as the cooperation unit of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, controlled stock in 2 billion US dollars pharmaceutical companies by a market value scale probably. 这家研究所原本是作为麻省理工大学的合作单位,由一家市值规模大概在20亿美元的制药公司控股。 To last year, research direction that here is engaged, main centralized in the research of clinical biology. 一直到去年为止,这里从事的研究方向,都主要集中在临床生物学的研究上。 However now, it was purchased its Boston First National Bank to give the new mission, all research directions shifted to the research to human body freezing dormancy technology completely, and 1 billion US dollars fund was taken the funds by the well-known charity cancer medical research fund capital, for the purpose of these in this century is unable the properly treated patient of fatal disease, sending to future that can cure their. 不过现在,它被收购它的波士顿第一国民银行赋予了新的使命,所有的研究方向全部转向了对人体冷冻休眠技术的研究,并且由知名慈善机构癌症医学研究基金注资了十亿美元的资金作为经费,旨在将那些在本世纪无法得到妥善治疗的绝症患者,送去可以治愈他们的未来。 Now, this freezing biology research institute is responsible for managing by Space-X, and merged with the Space-X freezing dormancy laboratory. 现在,这家冷冻生物学研究所由spae-x负责管理,并且与spae-x的冷冻休眠实验室进行了合并。 Reason that can so smooth achieved cooperation ; first, because both sides have the similar demand regarding the freezing dormancy technology, but one is the aerospace direction, one is in the medical direction. 之所以能够如此顺利的达成合作,一是因为双方对于冷冻休眠技术有着同样的诉求,只不过一个是航天方向,一个是医疗方向上的。 As for another reason...... 至于另一个原因…… Naturally is because both have a common donor Boston Financial group's young leader, David Lawrence. 自然是因为两者都拥有一位共同的金主波士顿财团年轻的领导者,戴维・劳伦斯。 Not only this freezes the biological research institute. 不只是这间冷冻生物学研究所。 Now Space-X most projects, so long as is he favors, he has invests, even many projects, seem like do not make money...... 现在spae-x的绝大多数项目,只要是他看好的,他都有在其中投资,即便其中不少项目,看上去都是不那么赚钱的…… At this moment, freezes in the biological laboratory. 此刻,冷冻生物学实验室里。 A giant column shape culture dish is situated in the middle of two computers, was being connected by all kinds of pipelines. In the middle of culture dish, lies down the monkey that peacefully is experimenting to use, if not the line that on that electrocardiogram beats, the light outside thinks so even does not know actually it is living or dies. 一座巨大的圆柱状培养皿坐落在两台计算机的中间,被各种各样的管线连接着。在培养皿的中间,安静地躺着一只试验用的猴子,如果不是那心电图上跳动的线条,光是在外面这么看着甚至不知道它究竟是活着还是死了。 Stared at that monkey to look for a long time, David Lawrence asked. 盯着那只猴子看了许久,戴维・劳伦斯问道。 „Research development how?” “研究进展如何？” Stands in his side, Musk is with smile on the face, speaks with confidence: „Is so far smooth, related the good congressman labor to convince congressional budget committee with us at the public hearing, making them believe that the freezing dormancy technology was the outer space colonizes the essential part, especially was essential regarding the far galaxy colonizing exploration. This made us successfully get nasa that side order” 站在他的旁边,马斯克面带微笑,侃侃而谈道:“到目前为止还算顺利,和我们关系不错的议员工在听证会上说服了国会预算委员会,让他们相信冷冻休眠技术是太空殖民必不可少的一部分,尤其对于远星系殖民探索是必不可少的。这让我们成功拿到了nasa那边的订单” „You know that I do not care about this.” “你知道我并不关心这个。” Looks at the culture dish of not far away, the float in inside experimental monkey, that look on is staring at some type of remote thing to be the same probably, David Lawrence said with the careless tone, „I have a lot of money, I do not care about you to be able with this thing to help me gain many, I only cared that you can complete my plan.” 看着不远处的培养皿,还有漂浮在里面的实验用猴子,那眼神就好像在凝视着某种遥远的东西一样,戴维・劳伦斯用漫不经心的语气说道,“我有很多钱,我并不在乎你能用这东西帮我赚多少,我只关心你能不能完成我的计划。” Looks at Lawrence's back, Musk cannot help but swallowed a saliva. 看着劳伦斯的背影,马斯克不由自主地咽了口唾沫。 Silent some little time, his trying hard was been calm from the anxiety by oneself, relaxed the tight brow tip to say. 沉默了好一会儿,他努力让自己从紧张中镇静下来,舒缓了绷紧的眉梢说道。 „I understand, rich Mr. Lawrence...... in fact, I cares is not completely the money, can realize the dream of childhood is a very happy matter, but to vainly hope to become the reality, we have to seek the help of these able people.” “我明白,富有的劳伦斯先生……事实上,我在乎的也不完全是钱,能够将儿时的梦想实现是一件很愉快的事情,只是为了将梦想变成现实,我们不得不寻求那些有能力的人的帮助。” Lawrence selected gently under: „If nasa has the resources that you need, I do not dislike you to do that but I hope that do not put the cart before the horse. I do not care about it to save the pitiful lives of several poor men, but this technology is very to me important, I need it, is so simple.” 劳伦斯轻轻点了下头:“如果nasa有你需要的资源,我不反感你这么做,只是我希望你不要本末倒置。我不在乎它能拯救几个可怜人的可怜人生,但这项技术对我来说很重要,我需要它,就这么简单。” The Musk stance nods respectfully slightly. 马斯克姿态恭敬地微微颔首。 „I understand.” “我明白。” Although as the Silicon Valley branch creates the nova, and by countless people with „steel hero” and „the giant of future technology industry” wait a series of titles, but he is very clear, in front of these established Wall Street finance great alligators, no matter his these have become the Internet tycoon of giant, is not worth mentioning. 虽然身为硅谷科创界的新星,并且被无数人冠以“钢铁侠”、“未来的科技行业的巨头”等等一系列的头衔,但他心里很清楚,在那些老牌的华尔街金融巨鳄面前,不管是他还是那些已经成为巨头的互联网大亨,都根本不值一提。 Their wealth take the century to accumulate as the unit, richly actually the federal tax bureau does not know them. 他们的财富是以世纪为单位积累下来的,连联邦税务局都不知道他们究竟有多有钱。 That is rooted in the personal connection in entire financial system...... 还有那根植于整个金融系统中的人脉…… Grasped these things, sometimes compares purely rich is more terrifying. 掌握了这些东西,有时候比单纯的有钱更加恐怖。 Looks that the float is training the monkey of central Fujian silent, Lawrence a while, suddenly says. 看着漂浮在培养闽中的猴子,劳伦斯沉默了一会儿,忽然开口说道。 „Said, matter that my also cares about very much.” “说起来,我还有一件很在意的事情。” Musk asks immediately. 马斯克立刻问。 „What matter?” “什么事？” „About your small company named neuralink, that named ‚nerve lace’ the project,” moved out of the way the line of sight from the culture dish, Lawrence looked askance to look to Musk, interested asking, „I want to know how it was present?” “关于你的那个叫neuralink的小公司,还有那个叫‘神经蕾丝’的项目,”从培养皿上挪开了视线,劳伦斯侧目看向了马斯克,饶有兴趣的问道,“我想知道它现在进行的怎么样了？” Nerve lace, is so-called neuralae, one type implants the brain the nano-meter silk thread drill hole, starts visits and discussions the technology with the outer electrode. 神经蕾丝,也就是所谓的neuralae,一种将纳米级的丝线钻孔植入大脑,与外部电极进行接触的技术。 Based on such technology, the user can through the exterior electricity electrode transmitting message, thus achieves the operation including cell phone and computer wait a series of electronic devices, even consciousness projects to the Internet in directly, exchanges the interaction with person a thousand-mile away face-to-face. 基于这样的技术,用户将可以通过外部电电极发射信号,从而达到操作包括手机、电脑等等一系列的电子设备,甚至是将意识直接投射到互联网中,与远在千里之外的人面对面的交流互动。 Before was very long some people was researching and developing with it similar technology, but to started recently popularly. 与之类似的技术从很久以前就有人在研发了,不过一直到最近才重新开始热门了起来。 „Is obtains some progress...... compared for two years ago arrives is not very big,”, Musk explained said, „is without a doubt through the technical feasibility that the nano silk thread establishes the brain-computer interface, this point we have confirmed before. However crosses the issue is, even if we have made enough carefully the nerve lace, is still very difficult to guarantee that it will not cause the permanent damage to the brain......” “算是取得了一些进展……不过相比起两年前到不算很大,”顿了顿,马斯克解释说道,“通过纳米丝线建立脑机接口的技术可行性是毋庸置疑的,这一点早在以前我们就已经证实了。然而过问题就在于,即便我们将神经蕾丝已经做得足够细了,也很难保证它不会对大脑造成永久性的损伤……” After listening to the explanation of Musk, Lawrence nods, the expression on face seems like thinking deeply about anything. 听完马斯克的解释之后,劳伦斯点了点头,脸上的表情似乎是在思索着些什么。 Why when Musk is curious this fellow to think neuralink Corporation that suddenly he invests, Lawrence continues to ask suddenly. 就在马斯克正好奇着这家伙为什么会突然想到他投资的neuralink公司的时候,劳伦斯忽然继续问道。 „If under freezing dormant state, only the dormancy body, the non- dormancy brain...... or only some dormancy brains, guaranteed merely can form the dreamland the other half to be sober, theoretically can achieve?” “如果在冷冻休眠状态下,只休眠身体,不休眠大脑……或者仅仅只休眠一部分大脑,保证能够形成梦境的另一半清醒,理论上可以做到吗？” Musk gawked slightly , the pupil contracts instantaneously. 马斯克微微愣了下,瞳孔瞬间收缩。 „Your meaning is......” “您的意思是……” „It seems like you have guessed correctly,” Lawrence smiles, lifted under the chin gently, referred to under not far away the monkey of that bubble in culture dish, „I want to know, can use that thing in the dormant state ‚’?” “看来你已经猜到了,”劳伦斯笑了笑,轻轻抬了下下巴,指了下不远处的那个泡在培养皿里的猴子,“我想知道,在休眠状态下能够使用‘那东西’吗？” „...... This, I am not quite clear,” Musk shakes the head, „...... this is not my specialty, moreover technology that has not been born regarding this type, draws a conclusion at will is the irresponsible behavior.” “……这个,我不太清楚,”马斯克摇了摇头,“……这并非是我的专业,而且对于这种还没有诞生的技术,随意下结论是不负责任的行为。” „But if speculated theoretically,” stopped the moment, he continues saying that „retains some brains, not only perhaps implants the brain-computer interface in the brain, but must implant the nutrition connection, maintains the survival of brain from the external input oxygen and nourishing substance.” “但如果只是从理论上进行推测,”停顿了片刻,他继续说道,“保留一部分大脑的话,恐怕不只是得在大脑里植入脑机接口,还得植入营养接口,从外部输入氧气和营养物来维持大脑的生存。” Lawrence: „Therefore theoretically feasible?” 劳伦斯:“所以理论上还是可行的？” To his line of sight, Musk turned very quiet. 对上了他的视线,马斯克不由屏住了呼吸。 He thinks own imagination enough the powerful and unconstrained style, has not thought unexpectedly some people are crazier. 他原本以为自己的想象力已经够天马行空了,没想到居然有人比自己更疯狂。 „Emaciated mortal body is only the burden, the spirit or consciousness is lives, but for the basis of person, I think you will approve my viewpoint,” sees Musk quite a while not to speak, on Lawrence's face appeared not to know that was is really the false disappointment, smiles to continue saying that „are not related, you were only the traveler of this time, you only needed to illuminate me to say did was good.” “孱弱的肉身只是累赘,精神或者说意识才是生而为人的根本,我原本以为你会认同我的观点,”见马斯克半天没有说话,劳伦斯的脸上浮现了一丝不知道是真是假的失望,笑了笑继续说道,“不过没关系,你只是这个时代的过客,你只需要照我说的去做就行了。” At this time, stood in nearby secretary takes cell phone to walk suddenly, to Lawrence whisper several. 就在这时候,站在一旁的秘书忽然拿着手机走了过来,对劳伦斯耳语了几句。 On the face appeared wiped the surprised expression, Lawrence looked at thing on the cell phone screen, the eyebrow lifted lifting gently, the sound has some interested flavors, said. 脸上浮现了一抹惊讶的表情,劳伦斯看了眼手机屏幕上的东西,眉毛轻轻抬了抬,声音带着些饶有兴趣的味道,开口说道。 „Probably had an interesting matter.” “好像发生了一件有趣的事情。” Has gotten back one's composure from the god, Musk frowns, immediately asks: „Any matter......” 从愣神中回过了神来,马斯克皱了下眉头,立刻问道:“什么事情……” Lawrence said relaxed with a smile: „cell phone on you, first of Twitter topic heat degree, you should play these things compared with me, why not do oneself have a look?” 劳伦斯语气轻松地笑着说道:“手机就在你身上,推特话题热度的第一条,你应该比我更会玩这些东西,何不自己看看？” No stay, Musk takes out cell phone from the pocket immediately, cut Twitter on. 没有任何停留,马斯克立刻从兜里取出了手机,切到了推特的上。 However in the flash that the line of sight and screen contact...... 然而就在视线与屏幕接触的一瞬间…… His heartbeat, almost stopped half racket. 他的心跳,几乎停住了半拍。 【Jinling Higher Research institute completes the nerve access virtual reality technology, realizes non- invades shikigami after the system and computer system seamless connectivity!】 【金陵高等研究院完成神经接入式虚拟现实技术,实现非侵入式神经系统与计算机系统无缝连接！】 【Starry Sky Technology collects the virtual reality system to seal to measure the laboratory technician to the world publicly!】 【星空科技面向全球公开募集虚拟现实系统封测实验者！】 Sees these two lines of characters, Musk almost does not have an old blood to spurt. 看到这两行字,马斯克差点没一口老血喷出来。 Does! 干！ Starry Sky Technology! 星空科技！ How is this damn gadget? 怎么又是这该死的玩意儿？
