392: Memory transfer, endless suffering

The risk factor for this kind of memory transfer is like walking a tightrope; once a person steps onto the wire, he must push through and finish the entire walk in one go.

There is no possibility of giving up halfway, nor is there any room for flinching at the critical moment.

Therefore, Su Yu needed to make thorough preparations before the experiment.

This was also the most difficult part of today's entire experiment.

As long as this step proceeded smoothly, Su Yu was confident that the subsequent tasks were practically guaranteed to succeed without any accidents.

During the entire memory transfer process, being interrupted by the outside world is extremely taboo.

At best, it could lead to missing data in the memory transfer; at worst, it could directly cause the memory transfer to fail and the subject to suffer mental derangement.

Moreover, this kind of derangement cannot be intervened upon by modern medical methods.

Therefore, throughout the entire transfer process, Su Yu would directly shield all information from the space capsule to ensure absolute security.

Of course, there was another very important reason for shielding the space capsule's information.

That is, memory transfer is essentially equivalent to a complete copy-and-paste of everything Cai Shi has experienced and gone through since he was a child.

This includes learned knowledge, subconscious thoughts, and even dreams he once had!

However, this copy-and-paste process is visible!

When the brainwave memory collector gathers and transmits memories, it unconsciously leaks some memory images.

Therefore, doing this in a global live broadcast environment like today's is clearly inappropriate.

Although it is not intentional prying into Cai Shi's memory, this does indeed infringe upon his right to privacy.

Completely isolating the space capsule from the outside world not only protects Cai Shi but also adds a layer of mystery for the global audience.

"What is Brother Su doing? Why did he suddenly block the view inside the space capsule?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the next step should be the memory transfer."

"Memory transfer?! Holy crap, does this kind of technology really exist in the world? If this were used for interrogating criminals, wouldn't it be foolproof? I suggest the Streamer popularize this globally when he gets the chance!"

"You're dreaming! Being able to directly read someone's memory is much more powerful than those truth serums in novels. This technology is destined never to be widespread! Every nation will strictly prohibit its use."

"Why? This technology is clearly very practical!"

"Why? You wouldn't want others to know about your escapades with young ladies outside, right? Similarly, if you switch your identity to that of a country, the country certainly wouldn't allow its national secrets to be leaked."

In the live broadcast room, some viewers wanted to urge Su Yu to make this technology public.

But they were instantly opposed by countless national power brokers.

Fundamentally, this technology should not be allowed to exist. It's simply too overpowered!

Even if it exists now, at most, only one country can be allowed to master it.

Because if a national secret leakage occurs, there can only be one suspect.

But if the technology truly becomes widespread and everyone starts using it, then the real culprit will never be found.

Just as global netizens were hotly debating whether the technology should be made public,

Su Yu officially started the memory transfer process.

Unlike the previous memory transfer experiments they had conducted, today was the first time the Chinese Academy of Sciences used a human as the subject.

In previous experiments, they had used mammals, rodents, and even birds and insects.

However, because the content stored in their brains was simple and the volume of memory was small, the complete export of memory could usually be finished in ten to twenty minutes.

But the time required for humans is obviously much greater than for ordinary animals. After all, they are the most intelligent known creatures on Earth.

Cai Shi is 47 years old this year. According to the Lackey's previous calculations, it would take at least three to four hours to complete the copying and export of all his memories.

This is under the most ideal scenario, assuming everything goes smoothly.

Time began to drag on... When Su Yu uttered the phrase "Memory export commencing," Cai Shi's relatives all held their breath.

Everyone knew that the true trial for Cai Shi had only just begun.

Because the entire memory transfer process cannot be interrupted. For a normal, healthy person, sitting or lying still for four hours is not much of an issue.

But Cai Shi could not do that!

As a patient suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, all the muscles in his body were already beyond his control.

Forget three or four hours.

Even two hours would be a test of spirit and body for Cai Shi.

Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis constantly endure physical pain.

Under normal circumstances, when Cai Shi was cared for by a nurse at home, he had to be laid flat from his chair every hour for a full-body massage.

Only this way could they ensure that the muscles in his immobile body would not completely atrophy!

But right now, this was impossible.

Cai Shi could only silently endure four hours of torment and suffering alone.

Half an hour later.

Cai Shi felt the stinging pain in his body intensify, but he gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on.

At the same time, he felt that some memories in his mind seemed to be missing.

All his memories from before the age of six were completely blank, as if he had suffered a blackout from drinking.

No matter how hard he tried to recall them, his mind remained completely blank...

One hour later.

The agonizing, piercing pain caused cold sweat to stream down Cai Shi's face.

The suffering of feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles was something no ordinary person could bear.

Yet he still gritted his teeth, remaining silent.

This was the path he had chosen, and no matter what, Cai Shi firmly believed he could see it through successfully...

One and a half hours later.

The stinging pain actually began to gradually diminish.

Cai Shi felt every inch of his skin starting to go numb.

He suddenly realized with a shock!

This was not a good sign!

For such soul-striking agony to lessen meant that his perception and control over his body were slowly decreasing.

Now the stinging was gradually turning into numbness.

Once the stinging pain completely vanished, leaving only a tingling sensation throughout his body, it would mean his body was heading toward decay.

Finally, if even the tingling sensation disappeared, it would mean his body had been pronounced completely dead!

...Two hours later.

Cai Shi clearly felt that his mind seemed to have become much lighter.

In exchange, everything that happened before he was thirty was completely forgotten.

The memory transfer was halfway complete!

He only needed to hold on for two more hours to completely transfer the memories in his mind into that small chip.

At this moment in Cai Shi's heart, determination and resolve overcame the fear of death!

Because he saw hope!

The hope for genuine transformation and a new lease on life.
