I Have A Super USB Drive

Chen Chen once heard a little story:

The background of the story is in the distant future. At that time, human beings have invented countless black technologies, one of which is teleportation technology.

It works like this: you walk into the teleportation platform, which is a very small room, and then you have to set the place you are going to in the room, assuming you start from Shangdu and go to Kyoto.

After you choose your destination, you press the button, and the equipment in the teleportation room starts to scan your whole body, collecting all the detailed information about every atom and the exact position of each atom in your body.

While the teleportation room is scanning you, it is also destroying you. While scanning, it destroys every cell of yours and decomposes it into the most primitive particle state.

After the scan is complete, you are completely destroyed. Immediately afterwards, the transmission platform will send the collected information to the transmission station in Kyoto, and use the data recorded during the scan to reconstruct your body.

This step may seem long, but in fact all the processes can be completed within one second. After one second, you have traveled more than 2,000 kilometers from the commercial capital to Kyoto.

And now you are the same as before—your mood hasn’t changed, your stomach is still a little hungry, and even the scratches on your fingers are still there. For you, your whole experience is: press the button, then it goes dark, and then you are in Kyoto.

In the 28th century, this has become a very common technology, and everyone travels in this way, which is not only convenient but also safe.

But one day, you are going on a business trip again, so you come to the teleportation room again, press the button, you hear the sound of the instrument scanning, but you are not teleported.

So, you go to the customer service staff at the transfer station and tell her that the equipment in the transfer room is broken. The customer service takes a look at the usage records and tells you: "The scanning device is working normally. It has collected all your data, but it is synchronized with the scanning device. The working cell destruction device appears to be malfunctioning."

"I'm going to be late for work, please use another departure room for me!" You didn't bother to listen to her explanation, you just emphasized.

The customer service opened the surveillance video, and the above is the surveillance image of you in Kyoto, "Look, this is the surveillance image of you in the teleportation room in Kyoto. In fact, you have already arrived in Kyoto."

Hearing this, you were completely angry: "But that's not me, because I'm still here!"

At this time, the noisy customer service manager came over and explained to you, "The scanning equipment is indeed working normally, and "you" have indeed arrived in Kyoto,

It's just that the cell destruction equipment in the teleportation room in Shanghai is broken, but don't worry, we just need to send you to another teleportation room, and then activate the cell destruction equipment inside to destroy you alone. "

Although using the teleportation room to teleport yourself has become common sense all over the world, but at this moment you suddenly panicked: "Wait a minute, won't I die if I'm destroyed?"

The customer service manager explained: "It's not like this sir, you watch the surveillance video, you are alive and kicking in Beijing."

Hearing this, you panicked even more: "But that's not me, it's just a copy, I'm the real me!"

The customer service and the manager looked at each other helplessly: "I'm sorry sir, but the law stipulates that we must destroy your cells. The law cannot allow two you to exist in the world at the same time."

You looked at each other in horror, and then started to run for your life, but two guards grabbed you from behind and dragged you to another teleportation room...

...

"Although this little story is a bit absurd and funny, the truth is very straightforward-"You before being teleported" and "You after being teleported", which one is the real you?"

At this moment, Chen Chen smiled and explained to Xiao X, "So, to truly define whether a person is himself or not, it still needs to be distinguished by consciousness, and the 'consciousness' here does not refer to similarity, because the previous In the story, if similarity can define a person, then the "you" in Shangdu and the "you" in Kyoto are the same person, because you two have the same memory and the same personality, but in reality? "you" It is 'you', but the 'you' in Kyoto is not 'you'."

"If similarity cannot be defined, then what can be defined?" Xiao X asked thoughtfully.

"Of course it's continuity."

Chen Chen replied, "People's consciousness is continuous. Your thinking, your personality, and your memory together build up your subjective consciousness. It's like a baby grows into an adult, and everything the baby goes through is formed. With his consciousness now, you can't say that the 1-year-old him is not the same person as the 50-year-old him."

"It is true that physically speaking, you at 10 have nothing in common with you at 50, and every cell in that 1-year-old boy has died for decades, but the continuity of consciousness is not Changed, at the age of 50, he may not remember himself at the age of 1, but he remembers himself at the age of 40, and at the age of 40, he remembers himself at the age of 30. Even if he loses his memory, it does not change the causal relationship in essence. ..."

"I understand!"

Little X immediately shouted, "It seems that the particle transmission device has indeed destroyed the continuity of consciousness, and the consequence of breaking the continuity is to end the previous consciousness. Even if it can reproduce this consciousness, it can't It’s not the original consciousness.”

"Yes, consciousness is unique, and it cannot be continued through copying."

Chen Chen nodded and said, "And in the "Star Trek" TV series, this kind of teleportation device had a traffic accident. In the TV series, when Captain Kirk was reorganized, he was assembled into two people, and a new parallel building was created. The universe, that is to say, this kind of particle transmission device is definitely problematic, the problem is so big that even the USB disk thinks it can be used in practice."

"In other words, it's not that this teleportation device is unscientific, but that no one will use it?" Xiao X asked.

"Yes, that should be it."

Chen Chen replied, "I tried "Killing City" and "Terminator" a long time ago, and there is no problem with these two movies, and they can be recognized by the U disk, which means that their teleportation technology should be the same as particle teleportation. There is a certain difference."

With that said, Chen Chen dragged the two movies "Terminator: Genesis" and "Killing City" to the USB flash drive.

With just a swish, the two movies were successfully dragged into the USB drive.

"In "Terminator: Genesis", it is also the first time in the film series that the full picture of the time machine appears. It is a huge platform like a hill. It is impossible to ingest reality, but its functions exceed all A teleportation device—it can teleport a life from this timeline to another timeline, but wouldn't this create a time paradox?"

Chen Chen murmured, "Or, there is actually another explanation..."
