"Sister Meiqi, what did that woman come to say to you just now?"
Girls are curious.
"nothing."
"Let's go, let's go to another restaurant to eat."
Next, Lin Meiqi drove and went to other restaurants with the girls to eat.
However, Lin Meiqi was a little absent-minded throughout the whole process.
She came back alone in the evening.
in the room.
She took out the clothes Lu Ning had worn before and looked at his clothes and shoes in a daze.
These things were thrown into garbage bags before, but in the end she still didn't throw them away.
She still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that one day these things would still be usable.
That night, Lin Meiqi tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
---------------
In the past six months, Professor Ma Guangke has been fully responsible for the graphene factory.
Not only has the factory site been selected and approved by the state, but construction has also begun.
The total investment is close to 3 billion and it is expected to be completed in two years.
This is a long time.
But for Chinese people who are crazy about infrastructure, this is already fast.
In addition to the factory matters, Ma Guangke also mentioned to Lu Ning the future cooperation with the graphite factory.
They only produce graphene, but the graphite still needs to be shipped in from other factories.
"You can just handle these things."
Lu Ning naturally acted as a hands-off shopkeeper and let Ma Guangke develop as he pleased.
His current focus is on black technology.
He now mainly researches black technology in three directions.
The first one is naturally the brain-computer interface that he has been thinking about since the beginning, which is virtual reality technology.
But at the beginning, he was quite enthusiastic and didn't know how difficult it would be.
After integrating the knowledge of so many top scientists, we still have a little understanding, and it is scary that it will be difficult to make a breakthrough in a short time.
The second one is nanotechnology.
This is an ability copied from Dr. Hamelsen, and later through the fusion of several American scientists, there are already some signs of it.
Now Lu Ning puts it in Professor He Wu's laboratory for research.
The last one is artificial intelligence.
His research direction is different from traditional computer artificial intelligence.
Instead of deriving artificial intelligence through computer computing power, we intend to truly create a biological human brain.
By then, the computing power of this biological human brain may not be as strong as that of a supercomputer, but the only advantage is that it will have self-awareness.
That is true artificial intelligence.
His direction is slime mold.
----------
Yan Xuejun Laboratory.
In a transparent fiberglass, which is more than five meters long and two meters high, a large mass of slime mold is being cultivated inside.
This slime mold is naturally the slime mold Lu Ning used for experiments.
But obviously, after so many experiments, Lu Ning ended in failure.
Although slime molds have computing power, they are so weak that it would take them several days to climb a maze.
Slime molds have no nerves and rely on a pheromone to transmit information.
This blocks the connection between it and the computer.
Lu Ning was not discouraged and gave up his previous route.
Start trying new directions.
He wants to use another type of bacteria as a breakthrough.
That's electricity-eating bacteria.
Electro-eating bacteria come in all shapes and sizes. Biologists have discovered that some electro-eating bacteria grow hair-like filaments, like wires, that can transport electrons back and forth between cells and their environment. They call this type of electro-eating bacteria
"Microbial nanowires".
Life is inherently a flow of electrons. For example, if you eat sugar and absorb excess electrons, you breathe oxygen and expel the excess electrons. Cells decompose sugar, and the electrons flow through a series of complex chemical reactions and finally combine with electron-deficient oxygen.
.
What Lu Ning has to do is to combine the electricity-eating bacteria with the slime mold.
Use electricity-eating bacteria as mediators in slime molds.
Let them generate artificial neural bridges to perfectly integrate biology and technology.
Now the focus of Lu Ning's experiments is on the integration between them.
A lot of experiments need to be done every day, and progress is slow.
What is gratifying is that Lu Ning copied the ability of the electricity-eating bacteria and obtained its characteristics.
Electricity-eating bacteria can eat and produce electrons. This characteristic allowed Lu Ning to slowly improve his imperfect electric eel abilities.
On the rooftop at home.
Lu Ning controlled a thin steel needle. The steel needle rotated rapidly in Lu Ning's hand, getting faster and faster.
When Lu Ning let go of control.
Whoosh.
The steel needle shot quickly onto the table.
Lu Ning took a look and saw that although the steel needle hit the table, it was only lightly nailed to it and fell off as soon as it was pulled out.
It's not as deep as him throwing it casually.
But compared with before, this is already a big improvement.
This is the change on the seventh day.
The most important change was that Lu Ning found that his ability to resist electricity was stronger.
In the past, when he generated electricity by himself, he would actually be electrocuted, but because his skin was somewhat insulated, the electricity was weak.
But this time after integrating the electricity-eating bacteria, it only lasted a few days.
His resistance to electricity has been greatly improved.
Lu Ning is looking forward to what the electricity-eating bacteria will look like after they complete their evolution.
Has it become able to absorb electrical energy?
----------
In Lu Ning's room.
Chen Ruolan was cleaning the room. Suddenly, she accidentally knocked the ring on her hand.
The gold ring was already soft, and after hitting the corner of the table, it got stuck in her flesh, causing some pain.
She struggled to pull the ring off.
This is a gold ring like a crown, made of pure gold.
She was a little unhappy when she saw that her ring had deformed, but she still had to clean up. She glanced at the shelf and placed the gold ring on the triangular metal object on the shelf.
The ring is placed right on the tip of the triangular metal object, like a pyramid wearing a crown, which is quite beautiful.
Chen Ruolan continued to clean when a phone call suddenly came.
Chen Ruolan looked at it and saw that it was her sister calling.
"Hello~"
She happily picked up the phone.
Start chatting with your girlfriends.
While chatting, she walked out of the room, with a smile on her face, and slowly walked to the balcony on the second floor.
At this time the weather was clear and the sun was shining.
She smiled and sat on the deck chair on the balcony.
In Lu Ning's room.
The triangular metal object suddenly emitted blue light. The blue light came into contact with the gold ring, and the ring began to melt like water.
The triangular metal seemed to have been pressed on a switch, and all the mysterious lines on its surface lit up.
This golden liquid was slowly absorbed by these lines.
The blue light disappears.
Wait for Chen Ruolan to finish the phone call and continue cleaning.
When she remembered her ring and went to get it from the shelf, it was empty.
"Where's my ring?"
She started looking around the shelves.
But no matter how hard she searched, she searched the whole room, but couldn't find it.
She was a little anxious.
At this time, Lu Ning happened to come down from the balcony on the top floor.
"Lu Ning, I lost my ring."
Chen Ruolan said to Lu Ning.
"How did you lose it?"
Chen Ruolan brought Lu Ning in, pointed at the triangular metal object and said, "I was cleaning just now and accidentally bumped the ring, so I hung the ring on the tip of the triangular metal until I finished cleaning.
When I came back, I found that the ring was missing." Chen Ruolan looked surprised: "I've searched all over the room. Could it be that a thief just came in?"
When Lu Ning heard that Chen Ruolan put the ring on top of the mysterious triangular metal and then disappeared, her heart skipped a beat, knowing that it might be related to it.
But it was naturally impossible for him to tell Chen Ruolan about the mysterious triangular metal object.
"It's possible, isn't it approaching the Chinese New Year? There are more thieves in our rural areas during the Chinese New Year. You really may not know that some thieves just took the opportunity to run in. These thieves are very bold, and they dare to sneak in even if someone is in the room.
"Lu Ning took the opportunity to blame the thief.
When Chen Ruolan heard what Lu Ning said, she sighed in disappointment. She liked this ring very much, but it was a pity that it was gone.
But there was nothing she could do if it was stolen.
"Lu Ning, I'm going to my mother's house these days. I may go back for a few days."
"What's going on? Do you need me to go with you?"
"no, I'm fine."
Chen Ruolan refused.
Fine.
Lu Ning doesn't like forcing things.
the next day.
After Chen Ruolan left, Lu Ning took out two gold rings from the drawer.
This was left by his previous parents. It was originally used for wedding, but later the marriage failed and the ring was kept in the drawer.
Lu Ning took the two rings to his room, closed the door, and closed the window.
Take down the mysterious metal triangle from the shelf.
He sat at the computer desk and slowly placed a ring on the tip of the triangular metal.
Buzz.
It seems that the gold ring has activated the mysterious triangular metal.
The metal triangle begins to emit blue light.
There was a burst of brightness in the room.
Then, countless irregular lines lit up on the triangular metal, and the gold ring hanging on it slowly melted and turned into a pool of gold liquid, which was then absorbed into the three-gold metal object.
"It really eats gold!"
Lu Ning was shocked when he saw it.
He had made a guess before, but now he has verified his guess.
This was the first time he had seen the mysterious triangular metal change, and it was such a strange change.
He was a little excited.
His ability is related to this mysterious triangular metal object. I wonder if other changes will occur after activating this triangular metal object this time.
Watching the ring disappear, the blue light disappears.
Lu Ning hesitated for a moment, then slowly brought the other ring closer to the triangular metal object.
This time he didn't put it on the tip of the triangle.
Instead, it's close to its surface.
Buzz.
Similarly, the blue light bloomed, and the gold ring melted instantly, and then was swallowed into the triangular metal object.
The blue light disappears and the triangular metal object returns to its normal appearance.
