Chapter 126 Strange People
The scenery of Central Park at this time is just right, not too hot.
William Chen walked among them, and when he arrived at the appointed place, he asked the bodyguards to wait a little further away. He walked towards the seat and saw a middle-aged man with some Asian features sitting there. Looking at the lake in the distance, I don't know what I am thinking.
"Mr. Frey Sears?"
William Chen walked up to the man and asked softly.
After hearing William Chen's question, the other party turned his head to look at him two seconds later, nodded slowly, and said:
"Mr. William, right? I read your report in the newspaper. I'm Frey."
With the development of HOLA, the number of registrations continues to rise, and William Chen also needs to prepare for the future. After all, after a few years, as that person leaves Russia, the "prism door" in the United States is about to explode. Practice, when HOLA develops to a certain extent, it will inevitably enter the sight of those people.
At the beginning of HOLA's development, it paid attention to protecting the privacy of users. Therefore, all peer-to-peer messages are encrypted and uploaded to the company's server. Even HOLA officials cannot view the messages between users.
Chen William has always wanted to improve HOLA's technical strength in encryption, and although David Jones has done a good job, he still lacks in this aspect, so under this situation, he recommended his teacher to Chen William, An expert in the field of data encryption - Frey Sears.
However, when I first contacted the other party, I got an unsatisfactory reply. Due to personal reasons, Frey Sears rejected the employment request of HOLA Technology, but William Chen did not give up. After several contacts, the other party finally agreed to meet with him. On the one hand, it happened that he was also in New York, so William Chen came to the meeting place he requested.
It is worth mentioning that Frey Sears has a habit of never using mobile devices such as mobile phones, so no matter the communication between the two or the appointment of meeting places, they are all carried out by email. One of the eccentricities of this genius.
"Sorry, William, I still have to decline your invitation today."
When William Chen sat next to Frey Sears, he heard him say in a slow tone:
"It's not that I have any opinion on your project, it's just that my body may not allow me to engage in these jobs anymore. I have cancer, and the doctor said that if it gets worse, I may have less than two years to live."
"Sad news, David holds you in high esteem, Mr Frey, if there's anything I can do to help, I'd be happy to do it."
Hearing this news, William Chen said with some disappointment.
"Thank you, Mr. William. However, I have become indifferent to these things. After all, life is a journey that cannot reach the end. Now I just want to use the remaining time to do something more meaningful."
"Medical medicine is very advanced now, Mr. Frey, I suggest you try it, there is always hope, isn't it?"
Frey Sears turned his head and continued to look at the lake in front of him, as if he was looking for something there.I don't know if he heard Chen William's words, but he just looked at the distance intently.
Until William Chen was a little confused, he suddenly heard him say:
"Mr. William, do you think humans can live forever?"
Although William Chen felt that the Frey Sears next to him was a little inexplicable at this time, and this question seemed too grand, but at this time, he also regarded it as the hope of a terminally ill person.
Under this topic, he couldn't help thinking about his time travel. At certain moments, he also thought about these things. When you really experience these things and don't have the curiosity to think about how everything happened, that's wrong. normal.
"Eternal life? Many people have hoped and tried a lot, but I think our so-called soul is just the memory of a person's past experiences, and these memories make him who he is. After all, everyone's memory is unique, and that’s why he’s who he is.”
Just like Chen William, why in his own cognition, he traveled from that person in the previous life, instead of accepting the memory of his previous life from the previous body of this body?Perhaps the most important thing is that the memory carried by the soul of the previous life is dominant in his current body.
Therefore, his cognition of many things and his way of thinking are closer to the one in his previous life.
But the current self can no longer be said to be the William Chen in the previous life, because he has absorbed the memory of the previous body, and he can't completely regard it as reading a book or watching a movie. Simple.
So how can you keep your soul alive forever?Constantly import these memories into a new healthy body?Also need to ensure that these memories dominate so that a soul can be immortalized?
For these, William Chen really thought about it, but he didn't think too much about it.
"If that's the case, Mr. William, if a person loses his memory, doesn't it mean that the former him has died, and what exists now is only a new soul?"
"This may be related to the mechanism of the brain. Maybe the amnesia is only a temporary loss of some memory in the brain, and there is still the possibility of getting it back."
Chen Weilian felt that he might be crazy, so he ran over to chat with such a person.
"It's a pity that I can't see that day. One day in the future, humans will try these things. It's just that when the memory is transferred, how can it be guaranteed not to be tampered with? If the government dominates all this, how can they ensure that they will not be tampered with?" Will modify the original memory to be beneficial to them?"
Frey Sears continued to ask questions, and the strange thing was that he didn't look at William Chen during the whole process, but just faced the lake, as if he was talking to someone in the lake.
However, from his words, it can be clearly felt that the people of the United States, er, it can be said that the people of Western countries such as Europe and the United States really have an innate distrust of the government.
Chen Weilian thought for a while and said: "If the centralization dominates all of this, this kind of thing will definitely happen, just like the current Internet giants, they will also control the information of all users. If the supervision is not proper, There must be room for evil."
"So we need an infrastructure that can verify each other and avoid being tampered with, so that they are not controlled by a few people, but we must also ensure that these relatively independent, um, called nodes, have the motivation to maintain this entire system."
Frey Sears was immersed in thinking, and murmured: "This system will definitely appear in the future, but it will be resisted by the oligarchs, and they may hope to transform them in the early stage, keeping only the parts they can use .Maybe we can only start from another field and experiment with such a system..."
After an unknown amount of time, Frey Sears seemed to come back to his senses, realizing that William Chen was still by his side, and said with a little apology in his tone:
"I'm sorry, Mr. William, I always unconsciously enter this self-state, probably because of the influence of meditation since I was a child. You should be able to tell from my appearance that I have part of Asian blood."
"Perhaps that's why you are willing to meet me today, Mr. Frey, after all, I am also half of the Chinese blood." William Chen said without seeming to mind, "However, your idea is very interesting, and I have learned a lot. "
"I should thank you. Today's conversation made me think about some things. But I still have to apologize again. I really can't help you with your work."
"I can understand and hope you recover soon."
Hearing William Chen's words, Frey Sears smiled faintly. He took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, handed it to William Chen, and said:
"This is an encryption applet I made myself. I hope it will be useful to you in the future. Maybe I shouldn't waste your time too much, Mr. William."
Chen Weilian took the USB flash drive and saw the Japanese words "さとし" written on the corner of the USB flash drive. Chen William had studied Japanese and knew it meant smart, so he asked casually:
"Does Mr. Frey understand Japanese?"
"I'm part Japanese, my grandpa was from there, so my mother taught me some Japanese and that's her name for me."
At this point, the two ended their conversation. After Chen William said goodbye to Frey Sears, he got up and left. When he looked back, this Mr. Frey continued to look at the lake, and the whole person was quietly talking with him. The surrounding scenery blends into one.
Maybe memory constitutes your soul, but the human brain also has a forgetting mechanism, so you will meet many people, but most of them will gradually disappear in your memory, and you will not even have any impression.
When William Chen left Central Park, he just regarded this day as a strange situation in his life. At the gate of the park, he thought of throwing the USB flash drive into the trash can, but he hesitated and put it in anyway. pocket.
Even so, William Chen always felt that what Mr. Frey said just now seemed to have vaguely touched the depths of his memory, but he couldn't grasp the sense of familiarity for a while.
Now it is a double monthly ticket, ask for a ticket~
