Chapter 370 Xiao Ming, Get Out

While Shi Haifei and Dawei were playing, Xiao Ming was playing with Gou Gou outside the Almighty Zoo and Tiger Mountain.

After seeing Gou Gou again, Xiao Ming quickly accepted the fact that Gou Gou had grown into a big tiger.

Children are always more receptive to such irregularities.

After the initial running-in, in less than five minutes, Xiao Ming quickly became familiar with Gou Gou again. He chased Gou Gou back and forth, climbed up and down Gou Gou's body, and had a great time.

And Gou Gou was like a helpless elder brother, letting Xiao Ming mess with him, and occasionally interacting with Xiao Ming, he only nibbled and nudged lightly.

Seeing that Xiao Ming was running fast, he rushed to stop him and prevented him from falling on Hushan Mountain several times.

Next to them, Xiao Ming's parents couldn't help but said: "Look, does Xiao Ming look like he is playing with an older brother? If we have a second child, Xiao Ming should also be a great older brother..."

Xiao Ming had no idea what his parents were thinking, and kept mumbling while playing.

"Do you know Gou Gou? When I came here, I went to another zoo. They even fed baby tigers with milk..." Xiao Ming fiddled with Gou Gou's ears, "My mother bought a bottle of milk. It’s valuable.”

As he said this, Xiao Ming grimaced: "Oh, I thought you hadn't grown up yet. If I had known you had grown up, I would have fed the little tiger again..."

Feed the little tiger! How fun!

Gougou thought for a moment, shook his ears, and stood up from the ground.

Then it shook its tail, tapped the ground with its paw, signaled Xiao Ming to wait here, and turned around and left.

"What did Gou Gou do?" Xiao Ming asked his parents in confusion.

"Maybe he went to the toilet?" Xiao Chen said that this was the most reasonable explanation he could think of.

But within two minutes, Xiao Ming saw Gou Gou coming back.

In its mouth, it nibbled the skin of the back of a baby tiger's neck, and placed the baby tiger, which weighed more than ten kilograms at most, in front of Xiao Ming.

The little milk tiger rolled on the ground and was about to run away. Gou Gou caught it and bit it back.

"Ah! Little milk tiger!" Xiao Ming was shocked, "Where did it come from!"

"This is Gou Gou's child." Next to him, a staff member said, "Gou Gou wants you to breastfeed it."

"Really? Gou Gou has become a father?" Xiao Chen and his wife were stunned, how fast this was!

"Gou Gou, you are so good, I love you so much!" Xiao Ming turned to look at his parents, "Mom and dad, I want to take Gou Gou back, I want Gou Gou to sleep in my bed!"

Xiao Chen and his wife quickly shook their heads.

no! Absolutely not!

"Then let's take this little tiger back!" Xiao Ming said that I was just testing it, this is my original intention!

Xiao Chen, his wife and Gou Gou stared at Xiao Ming together.

"Okay, I'm just saying..." Xiao Ming gave in.

Xiao Ming played closely with a tiger in Hu Mountain and nursed the little tiger, which attracted many tourists to watch. To a certain extent, it also alleviated the pressure on the internal tour routes of Hu Mountain and the dissatisfaction of the people queuing up. .

They took photos one after another to record this harmonious scene, and were even more looking forward to this trip to Hushan.

Unknowingly, Xiao Ming and Gou Gou also became internet celebrities.

…

In the monitoring room, Zhuang Buyuan stood in front of the huge monitoring equipment on one wall, watching the footage of each channel.

Because of the eight times speed in Hushan, all the shots seemed to be in fast forward. Zhuang Buyuan just looked at it for a while, then felt a little dizzy and could only look away.

However, these monitoring equipment can only be regarded as a backup plan. The three-eyed man Oka Yasuo is overlooking the entire Tiger Mountain, and every move of every tourist inside cannot escape his eyes.

Zhuang Buyuan looked at Gangbao's back from behind, frowning in thought.

The sudden opening of the domestication achievement chain made Zhuang Buyuan think a lot.

There is no doubt that the ultimate goal of intermediate domestication is to make these tigers become tiger-men, but what is a human?

Zhuang Buyuan remembered that when he was in school, biology classes and history books said that humans could walk upright, which freed up their hands and promoted the evolution of the brain, allowing humans to use tools, but birds also walked upright.

The textbook also says that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can use tools, but animals can also use tools, and this is common.

Later, the definition of human beings was changed in the textbook to say that humans are animals that can make their own tools...

Make your own tools? What are tools? Does an otter that can build a dam count? What if dams don’t count as tools? So what counts as a tool?

This kind of definition cannot stand up to scrutiny at all. It is as if someone came up with it. It is probably similar to Plato's hairless chicken. You can think of countless examples that can overturn this definition. It is just to put it into perspective. Human beings are independent from nature and subjectively emphasize the attributes of human beings.

Others say that what makes human beings human is that they possess “advanced thinking.”

So what is advanced thinking?

Logical reasoning? Lenovo? Or something else?

Who can prove that animals do not have this ability? Who can prove that this kind of thinking is really advanced?

While studying human intelligence, Zhuang Buyuan also studied artificial intelligence.

He found that artificial intelligence, and even ordinary computer programs that are far from the stage of true artificial intelligence, are far superior to humans in aspects that seem very difficult to humans, such as calculating numbers. No matter how good a mathematician is, they are not as fast as a computer. Excel Just dragging the mouse on the table and calculating the numbers can make an old accountant do calculations all afternoon. Another example is the game of Go. A certain dog can kill all the Go masters in the world.

But on the other hand, what humans, or even any higher-level animals, can easily do, are difficult for computers to do.

For example, in image recognition, a grayscale circle on paper will be seen by humans as a ball, while the computer can only see a group of pixels. For example, it can pick up a water glass as thin as a cicada wing without crushing it. For example, in complex Walking in the terrain, such as tracking the position and orientation of an object...

At this point, human beings are even far inferior to some animals. I am afraid that a mouse is a hundred times more powerful than the most advanced computer in the world.

So what exactly is a human being? How are they different from animals?

Or is it that humans are no different at all? Just one of many animals?

As Occam's razor says, don't multiply entities unless necessary.

The truth is often the simplest and does not require so many qualifications.

If humans cannot prove that they are different from other animals, then humans are no different from other animals.

There is a relatively harsh and extreme saying that humans are just a type of ape, a kind of hairless ape, and humans are called "naked apes".

Why did humans evolve into humans? Because the naked ape calls himself human.

This is not wrong. From the perspective of the manor, humans can only be regarded as a species that has only completed "intermediate domestication".

When the tiger people are domesticated, they will basically be similar to today's humans.

Can it be considered that the resources of the brain are limited, each species has a different evolutionary direction, and the brain is allocated in a different direction. Most animals allocate their brain resources to stronger movement ability, body coordination, and more agile reactions.

And humans are just lucky enough to evolve in the direction with the highest bonus—intelligence?

After all, if you have high intelligence, you can become a mage, and all mages are biological sons.

Tigers, bears, rats, etc., in the process of evolution, seemed to change their professions into other professions, becoming warriors, assassins, rangers...

However, the data in this world is unbalanced, and one point of intelligence bonus is worth ten points?

So the weak human beings who can't carry it on their shoulders, can't lift it with their hands, have become the overlords of this world?

So, how to complete the domestication from tiger to tiger man?

In fact, the tiger does not matter in any shape or shape, just like all kinds of strange manor creatures, including stone and wooden figures.

The only problem is intelligence.

So what exactly is intelligence related to?

As Zhuang Buyuan thought just now, human intelligence should be at the expense of other abilities.

For example, walking upright sacrifices the stability of walking and the speed of running, just to put the human brain in a higher, safer, and easier position to grow bigger.

But this is just a process, not a necessary reason.

So what is the difference between humans and tigers?

First, genes. At present, humans have learned about 52 genes related to intelligence. Tigers should also have genes that determine their intelligence.

Second, brain capacity. The bigger the head, the more brain cells to a certain extent - but there are also many glial cells in the brain that are just responsible for support, so brain capacity cannot determine everything. This is like a computer chip. Under the same manufacturing process, if the chip area is larger, the performance can be improved.

Third, the complexity of the connections of synapses in the brain. The human brain is a combination of soft and hard. The synapses of nerve cells are not only the core of computing, but also algorithms and memory. The human brain should be much more complex than a tiger's at this point. It's like chips of the same size, one with a 7nm process and the other with a 48nm process. The speed and power consumption are naturally very different.

Fourth, learn. Human intelligence can also be trained, and so can tigers.

In fact, the entire primary domestication is based on learning.

After being tamed, Zhuang Buyuan discovered that the tiger's intelligence had begun to approach that of a four or five-year-old child.

But the end of primary domestication means that this stage has reached its limit.

Next, we can only do it through other methods.

The only tool Zhuang Buyuan can use now is the old method - manual screening.

Zhuang Buyuan is in the Hushan Park and has been observing all the interactions between tigers and tourists.

He found that some tigers were particularly smart.

Dawei of Hushan Literature and Art Route is one of the typical examples.

"How old is Dawei?" Zhuang Buyuan asked Director Ke next to him.

Director Ke checked the records: "It's four years old."

"It's time to find him a wife."

Then Zhuang Buyuan looked at Gou Gou, who was playing intimately with Xiao Ming in Hushan: "Gou Gou is also very smart, let's find him a new wife..."

Later, Zhuang Buyuan selected a few more outstanding tigers. I am afraid these tigers did not know that their mating rights were allocated in this way.

…

A happy weekend always passes easily.

A lot happened this weekend.

For example, there is a rumor circulating on the Internet that a man with abnormal mental state actively provoked a tiger and was bitten by the tiger. Although Wufeng Wildlife Park strongly denied this, the zoo closed for only two hours that day. This was the second time this weekend that it had closed.

For this reason, Wufeng was almost scolded as Yi Tuoxiang.

For example, the respondent who posted a high-voted answer on Almighty Manor modified his answer and said that the performance of Almighty Zoo is now beyond his imagination and he needs to observe more...

On this day, Shi Haifei went back and forth to Hushan Mountain more than ten times, and the tigers on every route annoyed him.

Shi Haifei is actually a person who likes animals very much, but he has been restraining himself before, using a better and more scientific way to like animals, turning his small love for animals into a great love for the entire world.

But there is a willful child in everyone's heart, and the Almighty Zoo allowed Shi Haifei to find his childish side.

But a scientist is a scientist after all. After visiting Hushan more than ten times, he found that it was not yet noon, so he felt something was wrong.

This is not the right time!

Not to mention anything else, all the time he spent in the zoo was videotaped.

And so far, he has recorded 15 hours of footage!

Less than four hours have passed!

How can this be?

Then, he went back to Xucheng University, found a few high-precision clocks, and ran back to observe.

"There's something fishy about the Almighty Zoo! I'm going to test it and see. Brothers, I may switch to a physicist in the future! When I find out, I will come back and update the answer."

Then he disappeared, and I don't know what he found.

But these are meaningless to Xiao Chen's family of four.

On Monday morning, Xiao Chen got up early and planned to drag his son out of bed.

My son is reluctant to get up every Monday and has to wait until the last minute before he is willing to get up.

But today, as soon as she left the bedroom door, she saw her son fully dressed and sitting on the sofa: "Mom, mom, send me to school quickly!"

Today, every student has to describe the animals he observed to his classmates. My son played with Gou Gou all day yesterday, and he can't wait to share his joy with his classmates today.

Xiao Chen was overjoyed to see his son's rare willingness to learn, and immediately felt that all the previous efforts were worth it.

When I arrived at school, I finally looked forward to class. The students took the stage one by one to explain what they had seen and heard.

This weekend was really hard for most of the students.

On Saturday, I went to Wufeng Wildlife Park, but the zoo was closed.

Went to Wufeng again on Saturday...and then Wufeng closed again!

The first person to come on stage was a little girl. She was observing a little rabbit.

The second little boy on stage was observing the hamster.

The third little boy on stage was observing chickens.

The fourth little boy on stage was observing lobsters.

The fifth little girl on stage was observing her father.

The sixth...the seventh...

The teacher looked a little confused and asked again and again: "Students, haven't you observed other animals? Like giant pandas, big tigers, etc.?"

Xiao Ming quickly raised his hands high: "Teacher, me! Me!"

After being called on by the teacher, Xiao Ming came on stage and said excitedly: "The animal I am observing this week is a tiger..."

"On the first day, my mother and I went to the Almighty Zoo and met a little tiger named Gou Gou. This little tiger took us to see many animals..."

The teacher listened with a smile at first, but suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did it feel like a fairy tale?

Have you seen too many tadpoles looking for their mothers?

"Xiao Ming, please don't lie!"

"I didn't lie. The next day, we went to the zoo again. My Gou Gou grew up and turned into a tiger that big, and he had a child..."

"Xiao Ming!"

"teacher?"

"Get out of here!"
