Chapter 1040 The choices brought about by technological progress
There is no doubt that the application of biochips in animals is extremely successful, but if they are used in humans, uncontrollable phenomena will occur.
Chen Xiao touched his chin and became speechless for a moment. He saw a not so good possibility.
If a person is born with an intellectual disability, after installing a biochip, he can indeed make many correct choices and behaviors without needing care, talk and work in an orderly manner, and be kind to others.
But this is the biochip at work. It may not be the choice made by the brain itself, then this person is no longer a human being, but a humanoid creature controlled by the biochip.
"You need to be careful about the permissions of biochips. For normal people, you can only enable the auxiliary function, that is, use electronic products to monitor the body.
The decision-making still has to be left to humans themselves. As for those with incomplete intelligence and unable to undergo head transplant surgery in time, we can appropriately open some permissions to facilitate their lives." Chen Xiao thought for a long time before making this decision.
"Then, how should we tell the outside world?" Qu Ping was a little undecided.
"When publicizing to the outside world, you should pay attention to the way you speak. For families with abnormal intelligence, just say that biochips can improve IQ and reach the range of normal people. Don't say so much about the specific principles. After all, the controversy is too great. When compiling the paper, you should also
Pay attention to the direction." Chen Xiao sighed, it's not easy to do good things, you have to be sneaky.
Changtian's team began to summarize the data, check the gains and losses, and formulate a paper.
So far, biochips have led to considerable development in many fields.
The biochip is directly integrated with the human brain and can connect human thinking and equipment. Everyone can directly operate instruments and equipment according to their thoughts, achieving real-time, wireless, high-speed Internet access and work.
This is extremely important for today's fast-paced life and work style. If things continue like this, you won't even need a mobile phone, and you can just call directly in your head. There is no need to turn on the computer and wait for the file to come over and then edit it.
An entire article can be reviewed just by browsing it in your mind.
Writers don't have to type hard, they can just code the words in their mind, so they won't get tenosynovitis.
If you are a designer, you don’t need to learn complicated composition software, you just need enough imagination.
It can be said that this technology liberates human creativity from the limitations of tools, and everyone can give full play to their intellectual creativity.
If we think further, we can use it to carry out higher-level intellectual training and improve human intelligence. In this way, more and more complex tasks can be completed.
The system Chen Xiao obtained cannot be limited to the earth. The ultimate goal must be the stars and the sea. There must be enough smart people to carry out such a great work.
The prospect of biochips is extremely broad. It is only briefly mentioned in the paper. If we expand it, we would not be able to finish it in many words.
At present, the most direct improvement of biochips to Changtian is the extremely improved production process of neuron computing groups.
The neural tissue in the neuron computing group is much smaller, and the screening method makes the diameter of the neurons smaller and smaller to meet the increasing needs.
In the next step, the reduced neuron computing group can be made into a simplified version of the biochip and placed in the Zemeng wearable device. This can also greatly improve the computing power of the Zemeng wearable device and interact with humans.
The brain's link response speed.
According to feedback from the super server, what takes up the most computing power is not complex terrain, movements or touch, but human logic and emotions.
Human consciousness can be uploaded to the virtual world, which means that humans' own logic and emotions towards external things are also uploaded into it.
Do you know why re-downloading consciousness back to the brain always works 80% of the time?
The missing 20% is actually logic and emotion, and calculations really can't identify them all.
When consciousness is downloaded back to the brain, emotions and logic must be refilled. It is already difficult for Chang Tian to build a logical and emotional framework to a relatively accurate level.
Now that there is a simplified version of the biochip, a large number of storage components can be liberated. The original neuron computing group can greatly improve the computing and storage capabilities under the premise of the same volume. The ultimate direction of this technology is actually hundreds of
There is still a long way to go to achieve 100% complete replication of human consciousness, but now at least there is good progress.
If the wearable device only needs to maintain the original computing power, then the cost will definitely drop a lot, and the price may drop from 20,000 yuan to less than 10,000 yuan.
After figuring this out, Chen Xiao recruited Yang Fei and asked him to take the lead in mass production of simplified biochips.
Yang Fei has long been impatient to wait. He was responsible for producing experimental biochips for the experimental team during this period. After seeing such a good thing for so long, he was very jealous and wanted to start large-scale production immediately.
However, there was no notice from above, so he could only ask his team to continuously improve the production technology according to the instructions, and improve the production of wiring and neurons. Yang Fei knew that sooner or later, biochips would have to be mass-produced.
After getting Chen Xiao's permission, Yang Fei had enough authority to mobilize a lot of resources to participate.
The complete version of the biochip is currently not suitable for mass production, because there is no higher technology to suppress it. Once it is produced... well, Yang Fei actually doesn't think that it will be copied by others. No one has this ability.
But it’s better to be conservative and take your time.
The workshop of Changtian Technology has started with a bang. The simplified version of the biochip does not even have to be trial-made. After all, it is really not that difficult.
Then we quickly entered the implementation improvement phase. This process is to install the simplified version of the biochip directly into the wearable device and debug it to the best condition. This simplified version of the biochip is code-named Pangu 01, which means it appears for the first time.
After the installation of Pangu 01, many problems were indeed discovered. The original neuron computing group was somewhat incompatible with the Pangu 01 chip.
Thinking about it, I know it’s not true. The sizes of neurons are different, and the biochip is much smaller than the previous one. If a small tube is inserted into a big hole, the problem will be big.
This matter was discussed immediately, and everyone had different opinions.
Some people prefer to add specific growth enzymes, allowing Pangu 01 to integrate itself with the original neuron computing group, and find the nodes to connect by themselves. However, the opponents' reasons are also very good, that is, the specific growth enzymes are not stable, and adding
There is no guarantee that the dosage will be accurate.
Some people suggest that you just cut open the original neuron computing group and put the biochip directly in it. The reason for the opponents is that the workload is too much. There are so many wearable devices on the market, and they have to be cut and plugged one by one.
It's not reliable at all. Unless you are re-producing new wearable devices, just do it at the level of the existing neuron computing group.
The discussion went on for several rounds, and finally one technician came up with a solution.
"Two directions. One is to use Pangu 01 to directly produce wearable devices.
The other is to make a convertible socket, directly make Pangu 01 a peripheral, and then plug it into the original neuron computing group, just like getting a converter when the mobile phone charging connector model is wrong.
Pangu 01 is placed in the middle, and the surrounding channels are gradually expanded to match the specifications of existing products. In this way, we can upgrade the original equipment."
"good idea!"
"good idea!"
It has to be said that this group of technical staff is very creative. They just don’t know what Changtian Technology’s strategic plan is. If Changtian Technology does not plan to upgrade existing products, this group of people will definitely be dumbfounded.
However, the production technology has also been greatly improved during the discussion. The prerequisite for transformation is to be familiar with the principles and products. The biological all-rounder plays an important role again. Everyone only needs to think about how to increase the output and reduce the chip size.
It's much less difficult than before when there was nothing.
Today's Changtian Technology has lower and lower mechanical content and higher and higher biological content. Each product is no longer a cold mechanical device, but is developing in the direction of biological integration.
On the other hand, Changtian Technology reported the relevant situation of biochips to the relevant departments above, saying what should be said and not mentioning what should not be said. The purpose was to win over clinical experimenters.
The relevant departments were extremely shocked when they received the relevant data and applications, and hurriedly held a meeting to discuss it. By coincidence, the people attending the meeting were similar to the participants who attended the last meeting to recruit volunteers for brain diseases. There was no way, this time the biological
The chip still makes a fuss in the brain.
"Changtian Technology has come up with something new so quickly?"
"Yeah! It's too fast. How long has it been since ALS and Alzheimer's disease happened!"
"It's so fast and their creativity is really amazing!"
The person presiding over the meeting quickly brought the topic back: "Pay attention to the discipline of the venue! What you are paying attention to should not be the speed at which Changtian Technology develops new technologies, but the technology itself!"
"Oh, yes! Biochip, right?"
Everyone then began to read the information in their hands seriously. The more they read, the more silent they became. Everyone thought they were reading science fiction novels again!
"Tell me what you think." Seeing that everyone was silent for a long time, the host asked, "Do you want to agree to this proposal or not?"
"I don't quite agree, because this is equivalent to an electronic product. Although the purpose is still for human health, the selling point is still the application of electronic products."
"I don't agree with this. This is a compound product. Being able to detect everyone's health at any time is enough to make people ignore other problems. Early detection and early treatment are such a great merit!"
"I also agree that at the worst possible outcome, just don't open up access to electronics, and simply conduct experiments to detect human diseases. Do this step first, and look at the rest later."
At this time, there was also a meeting in another place. They were all responsible for the military affairs, and the topics they discussed were even bigger.
"I agree with this experiment and request that all permissions be released to conduct a comprehensive experiment. The application scenarios of this biochip are too broad, and civilian and military uses must be distinguished!"
Almost everyone nodded.
"My proposal is that experiments should be conducted on both humans and animals!"
"That's right."
These soldiers are all veterans who have fought in the war, and they understand the importance of information on the battlefield.
Just imagine, if a team of more than a dozen people were all transplanted with biochips, it would be equivalent to sharing vision and even synchronizing all monitoring facilities.
The limitation of information transmission on the traditional battlefield is very large. Even if you have a lot of information, you cannot explain it clearly in a short time, which will delay the fighter's opportunity and cause considerable damage to the soldiers.
With biochips, everyone can even see drones and satellite observation images of the entire area in situ, and any enemy will be discovered.
That's like a clear card on the opposite side. We only need to quickly calculate the route of advancement to defeat the enemy without damage.
As for calculating the path, leave it directly to the biochip, which communicates with the super server through quantum transmission and can give more reasonable suggestions in an instant.
As for how reasonable it is, it has to be performed on the spot for comparison. When thinking of this possibility, these people can't wait to transplant the biochip tomorrow and then conduct the assessment.
The reason why we should also pay attention to animal experiments is that animals can do many things that humans cannot. In the past, mayflies could only be used as a reconnaissance unit and could not achieve real-time killing.
Suppose a pigeon is equipped with a biochip and carries high explosives. It can directly decapitate local leaders! A mayfly the size of the pigeon cannot do this.
Don't say anything humane or inhumane, letting the soldiers survive is the greatest humanity!
There was very little opposition from the military department. The reason they opposed it was just because they were afraid that the technology was immature and would harm the health of the soldiers. They had no doubts about the application prospects on the battlefield.
Civilian departments are a bit overwhelmed, and they have repeatedly approved human brain experiments. This is really stressful in terms of international impact, and not many countries will directly approve such clinical experiments.
It doesn't mean that Xia Guo and foreigners don't conduct such experiments. The key is that it is Changtian who conducts such experiments. It is a big tree that attracts wind. Any movement will be expanded and reported, and then become a reason to attack Xia Guo.
"No matter! You don't have to hold the meeting twice! The decision has to be made this time! If there is a problem, I will be responsible. I agree with Changtian's clinical trial application. It will be passed one day earlier and benefit the people one day earlier. Anyway, Changtian has never let us down!"
"I object. We have too much information at Changtian's disposal. We really can't just put our eggs in one basket."
"I support experiments! This kind of thing can only be strengthened by supervision and cannot be blocked. Science must progress, and so must we!"
In the end, the plan was approved and both human and animal experiments were carried out, and the military also requested that military experiments be carried out as soon as possible.
