As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 50 Bio-Cloud

You can take a public bus directly from Lion City and get on the bus at Larkin Station in Johor Bahru - then take the highway to the bus terminal. After about a week, you will arrive at Kuala Lumpur, the nearest Southeast Asian city to Lion City.

For Zheng Li, the biggest advantage of Southeast Asia is that the grassroots governments here have basically no presence and there is no ubiquitous surveillance.

In a Chinatown in a place like Kuala Lumpur, no one would care about the presence of a middle-aged Chinese man with dark skin and ordinary looks.

Zheng Li found a place to stay and, relying on his strong physique, found a security job in a shopping mall in Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur.

Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia. Relatively speaking, even for security guards, the treatment is quite good. This month's salary is about 1 RM (the exchange rate between RM and RMB is about 1.6 to ).

After staying in a shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur for two days, Zheng Li manipulated the cognition of the mall's management at will, and directly transformed himself from a security guard at the door into a security manager who sat in the office most of the time and only had to go out for a round of inspection every day.

And modified their perception, Zheng Li made them think that he had been working here for some time.

The body in Kuala Lumpur is just a tool to store the soul and memory. Zheng Li is still controlling the clone body in Lion City most of the time.

There is one problem with cloning intelligent life: there is no soul.

Even if a dog partially has a soul, the cloned one still has no soul. The wizards discovered that cloning can only copy the body but not the soul.

This is also a problem that the Mage Alliance has failed to solve for many years. It is precisely because many mysteries of the soul have not been comprehended that mages have always felt that there are higher-dimensional life forms in the dark.

Zheng Li's real body went for a stroll in the public experimental area in the morning as usual. After recovering his magic power, Zheng Li was able to do two things at the same time and control both sides of his body at the same time.

Not to mention that the work in Kuala Lumpur does not require either physical or mental effort.

"What is the research and development progress of brain-computer connections in other languages?" Zheng Li asked.

Li Wanqing glanced at his boss and had a strange feeling. Zheng Li was originally fair, but Li Wanqing felt that he was even fairer and his skin was much tenderer.

Previously, Neuralink tried to poach him at a high price, but Li Wanqing considered many factors and finally decided to stay.

Li Wanqing suppressed the strangeness in his heart: "The experiment has been progressing step by step according to our schedule."

"But there were still many unexpected situations. We outsourced the brain-computer connection experiment for white people in the English department and the experiment for black people in the English department to Quintiles."

Quintiles is one of the top three biopharmaceutical research outsourcing companies in America, with R&D bases all over the world, so Sinovation Biopharma simply outsourced the orders to Quintiles.

"Quintiles has a research and development base in South Africa, but we didn't expect that we wouldn't be able to recruit enough experimental individuals due to the impact of the epidemic."

Kechuang Bio's brain-computer connection is non-invasive, and its human experiments do not require FDA approval.

Zheng Li asked: "Our brain-computer connection test is very simple and will not cause harm to the human body. Why can't we find someone to do it?"

Li Wanqing explained: "America is because most of the people willing to be subjects of human experiments are from the lower classes. Now the government is giving money so the lower classes can live well without having to work."

"Even white people who used to work as temporary workers are no longer willing to work, and Quintiles said we have to raise our prices."

For the lower classes in Europe and America, working won't make their lives better. With more and more welfare, not working won't make their lives worse, so it's better not to work.

Zheng Li: "What about South Africa?" "The situation in South Africa is similar. Quintiles' research institute requires that the experimental subjects do not have the epidemic, but the epidemic in South Africa is too serious, especially the lower-class black people are almost all potential carriers."

"It's simply impossible to find qualified individuals to participate in the experiment, and they can't pass the nucleic acid test."

Zheng Li: "Perhaps we can raise the price appropriately, by about 30%. I agree. Go talk to Quintiles."

"Also, their South African laboratory relaxed its control over the epidemic. The brain-computer connection test has nothing to do with whether the experimenter is positive or not."

Ke Chuang Bio is about to go public and has no shortage of money.

Li Wanqing had no choice but to agree. He thought to himself: The problem is that Quintiles' researchers are afraid of being infected.

A month has passed since Zheng Li regained his ability to cast spells.

The krill that Zheng Li had previously released into the Pacific Ocean have already entered the bodies of various marine organisms.

These krill are like seeds. They induce changes in some cells of marine organisms, dividing some of their functions to act as storage, central processors or signal receivers.

Each cell can be understood as a tiny "processor". Zheng Li aggregates all processors at the logic layer through the honeycomb.

This forms a huge resource pool and a virtualized central processor with powerful computing power.

If we understand this using the concept of the Blue Planet, it should be called biological cloud.

Zheng Li was glad that one of the lucky "seeds" successfully entered the blue whale's body indirectly.

If ordinary fish are equivalent to the most basic X86 server, then the blue whale is equivalent to the Tianhe- supercomputer.

Currently, the computing power and storage capacity of BioCloud are no less than the sum of Ali Cloud and Tencent Cloud.

Having said that, there are only three companies in China that are really good at cloud computing: Huawei, Ali and Tencent.

Many large domestic companies claim to have their own cloud, but in fact they just bought the cloud from Ali and Tencent and then put their own skin on it.

(I know a large company that mainly provides B-to-B application services. When Tencent Cloud failed and stopped working, its cloud also stopped working. Only after being pressed by users did it admit that its cloud was Tencent Cloud.)
Zheng Li's brain is directly connected to the biological cloud spread across the Pacific Ocean through biological signals, and he can use the storage and computing power as he pleases.

Directly connecting the brain to a computing device would improve the magician just as much as a computer improves a human.

Calculation, thinking, pure theoretical experiments, all these steps can be handed over to the biological cloud.

Zheng Li built a system in the biological cloud that has the potential to become an artificial intelligence giant, and then implemented a series of information security measures on the conversion between biological signals and electrical signals.

The system here only has the potential for artificial intelligence. If it wants to become true artificial intelligence, it needs time and data to cultivate it.

Zheng Li's physical body is in Kuala Lumpur, his consciousness is in Lion City most of the time, and the biological cloud is in the Pacific Ocean. This architecture is a very simple topological architecture, but the technical realization far exceeds Blue Star's imagination.

Zheng Li knew that his plan could officially begin.
