Chapter 1030: The pursuit that remains unchanged from ancient times to the present
After making a pot of tea, the assistant gently closed the office door.
Wen Yuanhang, the vice president of Xinghai Research Institute, also left voluntarily right after him. After all, the conversation between the big leader and Academician Xu was not something he could understand.
Even though there is nothing wrong with him, his level is not enough.
In the office, after the two pillars of the country chatted for a while, the old man didn't waste any more time and got to the point.
"I came here mainly because I wanted to ask your opinion on two things."
Xu Chuan nodded and said, "You say."
After taking a sip of the warm tea in the porcelain cup, the old man smiled and said, "The first thing is the virtual reality technology you used to write the letter before."
"I would like to ask, how long will it take for this technology to be officially launched?"
Xu Chuan thought for a while and said: "According to the research progress of Starlight Technology, that is, Xu Xiao, it will take at least two years for virtual reality technology to be able to build a second world that is close to 100% real for humans.
time."
Hearing this, the old man thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any way to speed up the process?"
Xu Chuan: "Yes, there are indeed, such as increasing investment in scientific research, recruiting more talents in this field, quickly bringing brain-computer interface chips to the market, obtaining more real data about human body activities, and large-scale
Promoting the collection of real-world data and information can increase the speed of research and development to a certain extent.
"But I'm not really suggesting shortening these necessary times."
"What should I say?" the old man asked: "Shouldn't this epoch-making technology be allowed to appear as soon as possible to benefit the people?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "For the emergence of a new technology, especially virtual reality technology that can interfere with the human brain, safety is the biggest obstacle."
"To put it simply, the security of virtual reality technology is not only data security and privacy protection. It not only needs to face the test of external attacks, but also faces the stability of the brain-computer interface chip for the brain neuron system."
"As a brain-computer interface chip technology implanted under the skin of the human scalp, although we have now verified that shunting brain signals through the chip to control additional limbs will not have any impact on the human body when limbs are missing."
“But fully simulating the real virtual world is another completely different situation. Whether the input of a large amount of information into the brain through the brain-computer interface will have an impact on the brain, and long-term use of VR equipment may cause harm to the user’s physical and mental health.
The effects, including eye fatigue, motion sickness and various irritating stress problems, etc., all need to pass the test of time."
“Various problems may arise if we rush to accelerate these processes.”
"So relatively speaking, I recommend advancing virtual reality technology step by step."
The old man nodded thoughtfully and said, "What about controlling the complete exoskeleton equipment through the brain-computer interface technology you mentioned? Are there any of the problems you mentioned?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "For the specific situation of this problem, you have to consult the cooperative research and development team at Chujiang Naval Engineering University and the Naval Equipment Department."
"As early as when we were developing brain-computer interface chips and bionic smart prosthetics, they were jointly researching this area."
"but...."
After a slight pause, he continued: "According to the current clinical medical test experimental data of Starlight Technology on brain-computer interface chips and bionic intelligent prostheses, if it is a bionic robotic arm with a simple burden similar to human limbs,
In other words, if it is a limb-torso type exoskeleton device, the problem should not be big.”
Although it is almost impossible for ordinary companies to find him to inquire about brain-computer interface chips and bionic intelligent prosthetic technology, cooperation from the national level is something he cannot avoid no matter what.
He has already considered the application of brain-computer interface chips and bionic machinery to the military.
The old man nodded, and after writing down the name Chujiang Naval Engineering University, he looked over and asked, "There is one more question."
"If virtual reality technology is to be fully promoted to replace the modern Internet system, do you think it is feasible?"
"And what preparations do we need to make?"
Hearing this question, Xu Chuan frowned and started thinking.
After a while, he finally said: "I'm afraid I can't give an answer to the question of whether it's feasible to completely replace the Internet system with virtual reality technology. You should consult more professionals."
"As for the preparations needed to promote virtual reality technology, there are two core points."
"What two points?"
After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan said: "The first point is to formulate a complete regulatory system."
"As an emerging immersive interactive experience technology, virtual reality will definitely involve entertainment, education, medical care, military and other fields in the future."
"Without a complete and standardized system to protect it, it will be the biggest problem for its development."
"Of course, I don't need to remind you of this. I believe you and the country have already seen related problems."
“And the second thing is safety!”
“Whether it’s hardware security, software security, content security, privacy security, etc., they are all areas that need protection the most.”
"If necessary, I will make a simple report on the key points of virtual reality technology security in a while, and submit it to you or the technology leaders at that time."
Although virtual reality technology is not in the scope of his in-depth research, he still has some information about the future process that is twenty years ahead and how countries will regulate the safe development of VR equipment and virtual reality technology in the future.
On this basis, combined with some of his own considerations for the future, it is not too difficult for him to write some key reports.
However, this report can help the country avoid many detours in the layout of virtual reality technology and standardize the future development direction in advance.
The old man smiled and said: "Then I'll trouble you."
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Nodding, the old man picked up the porcelain cup and moistened his throat, then continued: "The second thing is about the life on Mars."
After a slight pause, he looked at Xu Chuan and continued: "To be precise, it should be about the impact of these Martian lifeforms. I want to hear your opinion."
Hearing this question, Xu Chuan was not too surprised.
Smiling, he said: "This time the Hanhai space shuttle manned the mission, microorganisms and bacteria were discovered on Mars, and accidental infections occurred beyond protection. It is indeed a crisis for the safety of the entire human race.
.”
"But for our manned mission, encountering this kind of thing is not uncontrollable."
"Especially after we discovered fossils of ancient microorganisms in caves at the south pole of the moon, the Xia Shu Space Base adjusted its predictions about the possible existence of life on Mars before landing on the moon, including in the event of the current infection.
There are contingency plans for all risks.”
"Now we have fully evacuated the scientific researchers from Yuehuatai to accommodate the landing team. The relevant medical equipment and researchers are ready. I believe we can solve this problem."
The old man nodded and said, "Well, I believe you in this."
"But will the future development of Mars or the terraforming you proposed before be affected?"
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "There must be some impact, but the specific situation depends on how harmful these Martian microorganisms are to humans and whether there are any solutions to them."
"If the harm to humans is not great, or if we have a way to solve them, the most we can do is delay the development of Mars."
"If we are unable to solve these life problems on Mars, the development of Mars may encounter considerable setbacks."
"What about mutation?"
The old man looked at Xu Chuan and asked: "Before coming here, I and relevant scholars from the Academy of Sciences learned about the current situation of some astronauts infected with Martian bacteria. They seem to be changing the human body structure under the influence of microorganisms."
Hearing this question, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment and asked: "What do you mean?"
"If the harm of these microorganisms from Mars to humans can be controlled, what impact will the mutations they cause on the human body have?"
Hearing this, Xu Chuan shook his head gently and said: "I'm afraid this question cannot be answered yet. Even if subsequent research on the moon will use live animals for experiments, it will probably take a long time to know the answer."
When talking about mutation, he didn't dare to think about what the person in front of him wanted to do.
After all, in many cases, human beings' pursuit of certain things has not changed at all from ancient times to the present.
But if the mutation and transformation of the human body caused by Martian life can be inherited, this may lead to the complete tearing of the human race.
From a normal person's perspective, this is not a good thing.
However, the old man in front of him did not continue to ask about this matter. As if he was just worried about whether life on Mars would cause harm to humans and the earth's ecosystem, he skipped the topic after roughly understanding some of the situation.

PS: I’m updating the update on the 26th of last month. Sorry, I delayed it until today. The main reason is that I had an eye infection at the end of last month. The doctor told me to use my mobile phone and computer less. I went to the hospital and prescribed medicine for a few days before I recovered.
Before, it was really red, as if the blood chakra eye had been opened, and people were numb.
Also: Please give me a monthly pass, guys, there will be an update today.
