When Chen Xiao saw [Expand Physical and Chemical Machinery: 1. Ordinary lithium battery technology (LV20), 2. Power system (LV3)], he couldn't help but feel nervous. This is the second to last line. Read on.
, that is the new content.
He doesn't know what the influence system will do. If it is a brand new subject, he will probably have to work hard. If it is consistent with the original subject, but the span is too large, he will also have to
Scientists are exhausted.
Fortunately, the system is quite kind and gives:
[Expand intelligent creatures: 1, biochip (LV3)])
[Can produce biochips connected to the brain]
"Biochip?" Chen Xiao couldn't wait to read the introduction, and after reading it, he had to say it was awesome.
Biochips are actually somewhat related to carbon-based chips, and they are all studied based on the characteristics of carbon-based organisms.
The difference is that biochips are chips placed in the human brain, while carbon-based chips are placed in electronic products.
Biochips are equivalent to the upgraded technology of neuron computing groups (all composed of neuron cells), which can cooperate with the brain to perform more sophisticated and complex calculations, and can process more mysterious human emotions and thinking.
This chip has three benefits. The first is extremely fast computing speed.
Once humans use biochips, no matter what they think about, this chip can immediately exchange information with the brain, which is much higher than current wearable devices. That thing still needs to transmit thoughts to the wearable device before it starts to respond. This kind of biochip
It's like a part of the brain, just direct.
The specific application scenarios are not difficult to imagine. Suppose the user is an aerospace worker, then he can perform quick calculations based on the physics and mathematical formulas he understands.
However, this kind of chip only speeds up the speed of human calculation and thinking, but cannot enhance human understanding.
The better a person understands a certain formula, the faster he can get the correct answer.
On the contrary, if a person does not know the formula well, it will be useless no matter how fast he thinks about the interaction.
Therefore, while it can process complex data itself, it can also serve as a conductor for products to help process human thinking.
This is the second benefit: you can cancel mobile phones and wearable devices, install quantum communication devices directly on your head, and directly realize external information exchange.
As mentioned before, the biochip is equivalent to a part of the brain, so it can directly image the brain and retina. It no longer requires wearable devices to project on the brain, nor does it require the screen projection function of a mobile phone.
With just a thought, people can browse the Internet, the virtual world, and even make direct phone calls and have video contact.
Everything is as if the world is in one thought, extremely convenient.
The last benefit is that the biochip can automatically access the brain's movement status, identify the blood flow signals passing through the biochip, and read various blood indicators.
This means that biochips are performing physical examinations on humans all the time. In addition to blood routine, they can also read liver, kidney, heart, gastrointestinal and other indicators, which lays the foundation for humans to identify cancer and other adverse diseases in advance.
Base.
In addition to blood indicators, the brain also receives various signals from the body, including illness, pain, and lumbar muscle strain. After all, the brain is the most important part of the human body, and nothing about the body can be hidden from the brain.
Sometimes it is not necessary to use blood, but also through some body fluids and hormone levels to judge the body's condition.
In this way, it creates excellent conditions for future virtual community hospitals to directly provide users with virtual consultations.
The current virtual consultation is still limited to daily diseases. Only those masters of traditional Chinese medicine can determine the disease by taking the pulse. As for Western medicine, which relies heavily on examinations, it is really life-threatening.
No matter how awesome Changtian is, he can't completely reproduce the MRI in the virtual world.
Now that biochips are available, these examinations are omitted, and the data can be uploaded directly to the server. The rest is for the doctor to conduct a virtual diagnosis based on the seriousness of the condition, and then go offline to get medicine, surgery, and hospitalization for observation.
If such technology can really be realized, human life will undergo earth-shaking changes.
The first is convenience. Just imagine, people all over the world get sick. Some people are born in small places, so it is very difficult for them to go to big cities with good medical conditions to see a doctor.
The medical level and medical resources in small places are limited. If they find some incurable diseases, they will recommend going to big cities. But when you go to a strange place to see a doctor, the cost of the journey and the cost of accommodation are not included. The key is
Is it a waste of time? You have to go for an examination and you have to wait for the results of the examination. Should the patient go back or stay in a big city?
I saw a news story before, saying that a couple went to the United States for medical treatment and spent hundreds of thousands in three to five days. They still had to wait for the results in a few weeks. However, the couple had no money and could not borrow any money.
, and finally had no choice but to return to China.
If they can see a doctor in the virtual world, then the travel expenses can be saved for medicine, and they can last longer. Birth is not the original sin, but it will indeed become the key to life and death. If biochip technology becomes popular, this difference will shrink.
Or even disappear, benefiting the general population.
The second benefit of biochips is that human life expectancy will be greatly increased.
Just imagine, with a biochip, it is like a team of doctors using all the testing equipment to test your body. If there is a small problem, it can be discovered immediately and adjusted in time for timely treatment.
Many diseases are actually not difficult to treat at the beginning. The problem is that by the time people discover them, they often don’t have time. Some diseases will not have much impact on humans in the early and middle stages. Only in the late stages will the body be able to bear it.
If I can't stop, I will start to feel uncomfortable. By that time, the pain may have spread to the whole body. How can I treat it?
Don't always say that people should have physical examinations on time. That is simply unrealistic. Everyone knows who can do physical examinations on time. They are either rich and free, or their work units are very good. But most people do not have such conditions.
, many people estimate that they will only have a physical examination once in their lifetime when they are seriously ill.
Furthermore, it is difficult for those routine physical examinations to detect some well-hidden diseases. It would be unimaginable to screen out these malignant diseases. It is estimated that only a very small number of extremely important people can enjoy it. If some diseases take advantage of physical examinations,
During this period, I secretly attacked the human body. By the time of the next physical examination, it may already be too late.
With the biochip, early detection and early treatment can be achieved, and we no longer have to pin our hopes on physical examinations.
The last benefit is to achieve the most reasonable allocation of resources and improve the level of treatment.
The treatment level of hospitals in many places is not high, but it cannot be revoked because it is a necessary facility for people's lives. Once consultations can be carried out in the virtual world, people will choose to treat doctors with strong abilities, the kind of doctors who are capable.
Your income will rise rapidly.
What if you can't make an appointment with a good doctor? Then make an appointment with the next-level doctor, and so on.
In order to increase their income, these doctors will work hard to improve their own skills. Those doctors who do not improve themselves and try to live offline will slowly be unable to stay in their original units. Then those hospitals will
If the scale is reduced, in addition to ensuring the minimum requirements for people's livelihood, the extra doctors will be fired.
Then there is the tilt of funding and medical resources. Good doctors and hospitals will receive more investment, and the higher they are, the more popular they will be. In this way, people who are just messing around with their professional titles are eliminated, and some of the problems in reality are eliminated.
Hospital waste.
In many hospitals, many drugs are still unused after they expire. This is not their fault. No one can estimate the dosage. Excluding those with ulterior motives, this is actually quite normal.
Once virtual world consultation can be realized, the production and purchase of drugs will be reasonable. After all, drugs are prescribed based on medical treatment. You only buy what you need, not what you buy and use. Doctors in many hospitals actually know what medicine is best to prescribe.
, but the hospital itself doesn’t have it, so they have no choice but to open it. They don’t dare to ask people to go out to a pharmacy to buy it, otherwise people will say that the doctor and the hospital have invested in an outside pharmacy, and there are no human beings on both sides.
Chen Xiao quickly figured out a lot of things. Things have to be done step by step. It's useless to think about it. Let's figure it out first.
After summarizing the relevant research and development instructions, Chen Xiao returned from South Africa and returned to the Nagasawa Life Sciences and Medical Laboratory to start experiments.
The scientific researchers have become so used to the boss suddenly coming up with good stuff that they don't know what's going on with the boss, why he has so many good ideas, and where did these ideas and technologies come from?
As the leader in this field, Qu Ping was even more shocked. This old classmate was not so dazzling before. Even though he had some academic talent, he could not reach this level. Over the years, what he has come up with has a wide range and high level.
, like an omniscient and omnipotent person.
Sometimes, knowledge is also a kind of sexy. Obviously, in Qu Ping's eyes, Chen Xiao is the sexiest and most exciting man in the world. Unfortunately, there are too many excellent women around him.
Putting away these messy thoughts, Qu Ping put her energy into research and development.
In fact, the idea of developing biochips is not very complicated. After all, with the neuron computing group technology in front, the next step is to miniaturize this technology and arrange it more rationally to achieve maximum application efficiency.
However, since the initial biochip could not be put into production immediately, it is now just a relatively huge model, as big as a fist.
This is the original model. All ideas are tried here. Once feasible, miniaturization will begin.
It's just that the idea of miniaturization is not easy to imagine. The initial direction is to plan the layout. The advantage of this is that it is neat and controllable, simple and clear. For initial technology, the problem of having and not having to be solved must first be solved.
As groups of neurons are continuously arranged, the entire model looks a bit complicated and sci-fi. This is based on the arrangement of general chips. The advantage of this is that it is relatively flat and takes up less space after being placed in the brain.
It should occupy a relatively small area.
"We are now conducting an experiment on computing power. Attention of all units, enter the computing topic now."
The experiment started soon, and the effect was okay, but the computing power was not very strong, which proved that there was no problem with the design idea and it could work.
"Increase the arrangement of neuron computing groups."
So more neuron computing groups were arranged on the original model. When the computing power was reached, everyone found that the area was a bit large, and it was difficult to meet the application requirements by miniaturizing it according to current technology.
Not giving up, the team increased or decreased the number of neuron calculation groups, and then changed the way the plane was arranged to perform the same calculations.
After doing this experiment several times, it was found that it was simply not possible and could not meet the processing requirements.
"It seems that the traditional arrangement is not working. We made the chip the size of a scalp to keep up with the processing requirements." Qu Ping reported the progress.
Chen Xiao didn't feel surprised. New technology couldn't be that fast. But he didn't worry too much. Strictly speaking, this technology is an innovation of applied technology. The basic principles are there, it just depends on how it is designed.
After several discussions, the team implemented additive processing.
That is to say, the neuron computing groups are stacked layer by layer like building a round tower. This model is more suitable for the human body. The round tube state is placed in the blood vessel, which is more fitting and safer, at least compared to the boxy flat chip.
More secure, right?
This kind of chip has many requirements. It is like a pipe rolled up by barbed wire. Those wires are neuron computing groups, and gaps are left to allow blood to flow, minimizing physical discomfort.
But this is a big test for manufacturing capabilities. It requires smaller neuron computing groups and stronger computing power.
In line with the progress here, the manufacturing department also formed a technical team for public relations, and the technology was quickly improved.
The specific idea is to set up a screening channel, so that neurons that meet the standard can be stably produced, and those neurons that are too large will be excluded, and then the petri dishes that can stably culture compliant neurons will be left.
Screening, so that the neurons produced in the future will develop in a smaller direction.
This has very strict requirements for the cultivation environment. Humidity, temperature, light, and nutrient ratios are all very particular. If you are not careful, you will cultivate messy things.
Once successful, all factors recorded in detail are reproduced perfectly until stable production is achieved.
This illustrates from the side that theoretical progress and manufacturing progress are complementary to each other. No matter who cannot keep up, both will stagnate.
"This answer should be enough, right?" Looking at the original model that was more than ten times smaller, everyone was full of hope. The original model was so small. This was because the need to magnify and observe the details was deliberately so great. If it is completely compressed,
, probably not as big as a fingernail.
"Start!" The new round of experiments began with anticipation.
