"Meme is an independent term. According to conventional interpretation, it can be understood as an information virus that continuously spreads and mutates, similar to the MD5 code of a transcoder or the DNA fragment of a ribosome, so the spread of memes is What about the dissemination of information.”
“For example, if a human sees a joke and tells the joke to other people, this process is the spread process of the meme, and when the person who listened to the joke also starts to tell it to others, this is the memetic process. diffusion."
"Human beings are born with a 'self-reward mechanism' to estimate the information they spread. To put it simply, spreading information will make humans feel happy."
"In order to make themselves happier, human beings will spread some things that have nothing to do with themselves for free or even give money, such as..."
"Star chasing."

At this time, she kept telling Chen Chen, so that Chen Chen could have more choices when facing strange events.
"Of course, human beings' self-award mechanism is definitely not a new product of the Internet age. It ranges from gossips among neighbors, to the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the exchange of farming and weapons-making methods between the major clans in the ancient Yan and Huang periods, and then to In ancient times, ancestors popularized the method of preserving fire and making tools... This self-reward mechanism is deeply engraved in human genes, and this kind of thing already existed when humans were still apes."
"A meme is a virus that is very easy to spread and mutate, but difficult to control. A little carelessness may lead to serious consequences."
"In ancient times, human beings had limited information, and even memes could hardly become popular. However, in today's era of rapid development of network platforms, memes can easily spread."
"In this era where the Internet connects the world, memes can last longer and spread to a wider range. In addition, memes are as easy to mutate as viruses. If the Basilisk pattern appears in reality in the future, I will also It won’t feel weird.”

After listening to Xiao
"Your summary is correct, but not entirely correct."
Xiao Come with memes that fit our own requirements.”
"You mean, meme technology?"
Hearing this, Chen Chen's heart moved. If memes could really be used as technological weapons, then even nuclear weapons would have to be put aside. It would be easy to wipe out a civilization in a matter of minutes. Even aliens with far superior human technology would not be able to do so. withstand.
Unless those aliens also have memetic technology.
But thinking about it, Chen Chen shook his head. He was really a bit fanciful. If memetic technology is a necessary technology for the progress of civilization, then it makes no sense that humans have this technology but aliens do not.
Now, the reason why humans have not mastered the technology of memes is simply because information that can affect the physical level has not yet appeared in reality.
But thinking of this, Chen Chen frowned, "No, if there were no memes that could affect reality in ancient times, why would there be so many ghost stories? Why do the things produced by meme effects look so much like ghosts in human minds? '?"
"No, it should be thought that it is precisely because of the existence of various ghost stories that the memetic effect is affected."
Xiao They just want to reproduce and survive. After all, virulent viruses cannot spread. Only mild viruses can parasitize the human body and gradually become one with humans and evolve together."
"The same is true for the memetic effect. Perhaps it is the ghosts and monsters in ancient times that will make the memes change towards the images in human ghost stories. Of course, this is only a small part. In fact, most memetic effects are not like this. , for example, memetic effects such as 'ghost outside the window' have not transformed into legendary ghost images."
"After you come out of the isolation room, we can experiment with the most rudimentary memes, those Basilisk patterns."
Little X comforted, "I believe the secret of memes can be unlocked in our hands."
"etc!"
But at this moment, Yashenji on the side couldn't help being startled. He quickly interrupted, "Your Excellency Chen Chen, you said before that there is no memetic effect in this parallel world. In this case, if you are in Aren’t you afraid that your world will follow in that world’s footsteps when it comes to realistic research?”
"You don't actually need to worry about this."
Little Although memes are mutable, just like viruses, this mutation does not mutate out of thin air, but will continue to mutate as more people are infected and spread more times."
"In other words, in your previous world, memes were out of control on the Internet, which led to the emergence of various meme types. So as long as you can control the spread, you can control memes."
"But there is also a possibility of the car overturning, right?"
Yashenji seemed to be extremely afraid of this kind of thing, and finally left that hellish world. At this moment, when he saw that Chen Chen and others were still studying, he suddenly said in fear, "If the car overturns, won't this world be destroyed?"
"It's inevitable."
Little Transforming the world, they can make mankind progress more, and the same is true for memes. It is not only a weapon, but if it can be used, it can also be used to change human life, just like the Gnatz server."
"X is right."
Chen Chen nodded, "The development of human science and technology has never been smooth sailing. If you don't look at some things, they won't exist. Lord Ye Shen, you have to change your mentality. You are the first person I brought back from another world. People, and you know, why should I choose you?"
"It's because I have extensive experience with memes..."
Ye Shenji was startled and broke into a sweat. He quickly lowered his head and made a surrender gesture, "I understand. Please forgive my remarks just now. Don't worry, Mr. Chen Chen. I will do my best to help you complete your great cause." !”
