Great Power Technology

"Uncle Ye!"

Yaoyao happily took the BCl helmet and put it on, and her vision was restored again, but after the initial surprise, what appeared on her face was more restraint.

After all, he is still a child, and his mental age is not very mature. Ye Zhou is the "biggest big man" she has ever seen. In front of such a person, even if he has a close relationship, he will always be at a loss.

But fortunately, she adjusted it quickly, and pulled Ye Zhou to look east and west to introduce the equipment in the multi-function hall.

"...This is the previous generation—no, it is the BCI terminal of the previous generations. It is a general-purpose model. It can be used without brain activity tests, but its functions are much worse, and it can only provide simple feedback."

"Now it is used to control some remote robots, such as eight-legged robots used in mines. It is easy to use in complex environments and has low learning costs."

"But brother Chen Li said it was tasteless...I feel fine."

Ye Zhou smiled, this thing is more than tasteless.

According to the sign, the only current use of this robot is to control the robot remotely, but unfortunately, it is counter-intuitive to connect the robot through the brain.

Can you imagine you have 8 legs and 32 eyes?
In order to truly achieve the integration of consciousness, a deeper neural interaction must be carried out.

But if that is the case, the cost of surgery and learning will go up again, why not directly recruit a group of personnel for specialized operation training?
After all, it really doesn’t take much time to operate a robot through the handle and screen if you want to master it proficiently.

Maybe go to the excavator school and pull a few students over, just train for a period of time and you can do it.

All in all, this is just a "sounds cool" idea, and it was probably used by Chen Li's team as a verification machine at first.

"Why do you think it's tasteless?"

he asked curiously.

"I think the operation is very smooth... Although the visual signal feedback is a bit rough, you can basically see the outline clearly. Isn't it difficult to use?"

Yaoyao tilted her head and replied.

That is, if you have rich experience in using BCI terminals, it should not be difficult to control this set of equipment.

However, this is not also the cost of learning.

He didn't dwell on this piece of equipment anymore, but asked:
"What about the equipment for this courtyard project? Are they all ready?"

Yaoyao nodded quickly, although she is not responsible for the overall project follow-up, but some basic progress is still clear.

"It's all over there. Many of them haven't been unpacked and assembled, but brother Chen Li and the others have brought a few sets of equipment to do the connection experiment."

"I heard from him that it is still in the data collection stage, and it may take a week or two before the operation will officially start."

“—oh yes, their equipment is intrusive, just like mine!”

While talking, Yaoyao raised the light hat helmet and pointed to the electrodes on it. It was an elastic reed set inside the "hat". No hair zone reserved for electrode contacts.

"Is it really okay for you to put on and take off like this?"

"No problem, just get used to it! It's like blinking!"

Ye Zhou nodded slightly. It seems that the stability of BCI transmission technology has at least developed faster than he expected.

He stepped forward curiously, and picked up a small packing box in an opened box. After opening it, there were several parts he had never seen before.

"Is this the terminal you are going to use this time? Why does it feel bigger than yours... I remember that it only needs to be used for information transmission? It doesn't need to integrate an AES module, so why make it so big?"

"No no no, we just don't need the camera, but the AES module is still needed."

"Without the aid of the visual nerve, we can't find a better fulcrum that can enter the memory area --- this is what Brother Chen Li said."

"But it is possible that AES will be gradually eliminated in the future? But that still needs more experiments."

Ye Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and soon understood
I am not underestimating the development of BCI technology, on the contrary, I am too optimistic.

The level of complexity of this technology is not below that of controlled nuclear fusion, otherwise it would not be on the same sequence in different directions.

What Chen Li and the others are doing now is actually reverse-engineering the easiest-to-apply part of the BCl transmission technology, first using the current basic technology level to realize the application of the pre-version.

This is a very appropriate idea - especially in the current situation where the demand for productivity improvement is becoming more and more urgent.

In a word, first solve the problem of whether it can be used, and then solve the problems of whether it is easy to use and whether it is efficient.

"I see... No wonder you are needed here. There should be some stability problems with this terminal, right?"

"hey-hey…"

Yaoyao smiled, but didn't answer.

Of course, she didn't want to say that Chen Li was bad in front of Ye Zhou, but obviously, everyone knew about this issue.

But fortunately, "unstable" is not equivalent to "dangerous". In the previous experiments, the worst result was that the information flow could not be read at all, and it had no effect on nerve and brain functions.

While the two were talking, the door of the multi-function hall was pushed open, and Chen Li walked over quickly, extending his hand to Ye Zhou.

"Gong Ye, hello!"

Chen Li originally planned to say a few polite words such as "Long time no see" and "You look good", but after all he doesn't have this kind of personality, it's better to just say "Hello".

Of course, Ye Zhou was not dissatisfied with this straightforward way of communication.

"Yaoyao just showed me your equipment this time, how is it going, what is the expected success rate?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Li immediately understood that Ye Zhou had understood the real progress of this technology, so he replied:

"The optimistic estimate is around 70%, but considering some severe intolerance and individuals who are unwilling to accept invasive surgery, I estimate that it can reach 50% at most."

"This number is not bad. We have relaxed the test conditions. There are currently more than 400 people who have signed up. Generally speaking, the expected goal can basically be achieved."

"That's good. What about efficiency improvement? Have you made a preliminary estimate for this?"

Chen Li shook his head and replied:

"No, this thing is really hard to estimate, and there is no way to refer to it."

"The overall efficiency improvement on the energy side was more than 400% before, but those were basic and operational tasks, which are completely different from the creative tasks of these subjects."

"According to our laboratory results, the BCl transmission technology can basically erase all mechanical thinking time—that is, memory, calculation, etc., and the proportion of this part of the time is about 40%."

"However, it certainly doesn't mean that the efficiency can be increased by 40%. I estimate... it will be 20% at most. The result depends on the final project results."

20%.

This was already an answer far beyond Ye Zhou's expectations.

After all, the job of a museum is not to turn screws.

The 20% improvement, plus the improvement effect of other researchers in the same direction, it is possible that the future research methods will undergo earth-shaking changes...
