From all-round academic master to chief scientist

Regarding the arrangement of the academic report, Lin Xiao naturally chose to give it at Beijing University, and the time was determined to be mid-August, August 15th.

Regarding this, Dean Zhao Qi was naturally excited again.

Just kidding, this is a millennium math problem!

It is a very gimmicky thing in the entire academic world, so this academic report will definitely attract countless attention.

After all, just think about the response caused by Lin Xiao's proof of Hodge's conjecture last year. Lin Xiao stated in his one-hour report that he would complete the proof of Hodge's conjecture in the next Fields Lecture. Mathematicians from all over the world who had not come to the conference originally came by plane.

What Lin Xiao is proving now is the existence and smoothness of the solution to the NS equation. There must be more people studying this than Hodge's conjecture.

When the time comes, mathematicians, fluid mechanics physicists, and even people from some companies, one by one, will probably all come to join in the fun.

As a result, Dean Zhao Qi has been smiling these days.

Of course, in order to avoid the situation like when Lin Xiao proved Goldbach's conjecture, but had to go to other places due to too many people, so those who want to participate naturally have to be screened carefully, at least to start. For those who can understand NS equations, they must at least be able to solve Bernoulli's equation and Euler's equation. After all, these two equations are considered prerequisite equations of NS equations.

Therefore, through this screening method, we can basically control the number of people attending the meeting to about 2,000, and their Beijing University Auditorium can definitely accommodate it.

At this point, Zhao Qi must take good control.

After that, it’s time to prepare for this report, because it involves at least a thousand foreign visitors, and they are also individual talents. Every time so many talents come here, it is a good opportunity for these talents to stay. Even reaching cooperation is very good, so it is not only Zhao Qi who pays attention to it, but also the school and the government. They have also expressed their attention to this and provided various conveniences.

So it didn't take much time to prepare, and the next step was to wait for the day of the academic report.

Of course, since there was still more than half a month left, Lin Xiao was not in a hurry.

At this time, he used this time to study another thing.

【Neural Current Interpretation Book】

This is something the system rewards him when he reaches level six in physics.

Lin Xiao was curious about the book on the interpretation of neural currents just by the name. However, because he had temporarily focused on the NS equation, he had never looked at what this thing was. But now, he also Finally made time to do this.

"Sure enough, it turns out to be an explanation of neural currents!"

After opening the "book" in the system in his mind, Lin Xiao showed an expression of wonder after seeing the contents of the first few pages.

I saw that the meanings represented by various nerve currents were translated into different categories, and based on the size of these currents, the instructions represented by various nerve signals could be distinguished.

For example, moving the wrist, moving fingers, knuckles, or even moving a muscle, etc., these neural electrical signals are translated in this "book".

In addition, there is the translation of neural currents produced by thinking in the brain.

If the nerve currents that control muscles throughout the human body can be quantified, the translation of nerve currents for thinking becomes very complicated.

Because human thinking is full of variability, it may even be larger than what the universe can contain.

People may think of something that does not exist in this universe, and the things included in the universe are always limited. For example, the existence of the universe may be just one universe, but people may think that the universe may be the brain of a certain creature, because the universe is ultimately composed of countless galaxies. The image is very similar to the neurons in the human brain.

Of course, perhaps it is precisely because of the variability of brain thinking that it is unbelievable to translate people's thinking, so the neural current translation book Lin Xiao saw only translated some things.

For example, "I want to eat", or "I want to sleep", or "walk forward", "walk backward", etc.

It is relatively limited, but even if it is relatively limited, it still has much more content than those that control other nerves in the human body.

Of course, in the end, a question arises, why different currents can convey different instructions. This probably requires more in-depth research. At least, it is very likely that the organ that receives the signal and the organ that sends the signal will have a special Targets that can translate these currents.

However, there is no need to consider this aspect, because this is the task of the human body's nerves.

After Lin Xiao roughly read all the contents, he still felt very unbelievable when he finally exited the system.

"How did this information... come from..."

He even felt a little bloody.

As for how to measure the meaning of so many nerve currents, he now has a good method, which is to implant current measuring sensors into every nerve in a person's body, and then let the person make various actions. This enables interpretation of the magnitude of neural currents.

But obviously, this method is very cruel and completely inhumane. After all, a person's human nerves are almost all over the person's body. If so many sensors are implanted, there is no telling whether the person can survive, at least. Current surgeries are completely unsupportable.

So it can only be tested on more people.

Of course, maybe these data in the system were copied directly from the database of the universe, maybe.

Lin Xiao shook his head, why did he think about this?

Anyway, this thing must be used.

Just saying that it can translate part of people's thinking is very scary.

For example, in identifying lies, this thing can be of great use.

In addition to identifying lies, it can also truly realize what Lin Xiao originally thought, manufacturing human mechanical prostheses and electronic prosthetic eyes. If artificial nerves only give paralyzed people the ability to stand up, then mechanical prostheses have the potential to All physically disabled people can fully regain their ability to move, and electronic prosthetic eyes can even help blind people regain their sight, so that there will never be a masterpiece like "If You Give Me Three Days of Sight" in the world.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.

Maybe... we can try it later?

Let’s forget about the lie detector first. This thing needs to use brain waves. Otherwise, it would be impossible to directly insert a metal needle into a person’s head and then detect the nerve current during the lie detector?

Of course, brain waves are ultimately caused by electrical signals between neurons in the brain. Modern methods of detecting brain waves are to directly attach electrodes to the scalp of the brain and then detect them.

And they now have room-temperature superconductors. Taking advantage of the zero resistance of room-temperature superconductors, this thing has every opportunity to be developed.

Of course, for now, it is obviously the best choice to study mechanical prostheses and electronic prosthetic eyes. After all, they can directly use artificial nerves to connect to the inside of the human body.

For example, electronic prosthetic eyes can directly connect the artificial nerve and optic nerve through surgery, and then realize the function.

The same is true for mechanical prosthetics, which are even more convenient for research than electronic prosthetics. Because the eyes need to process more image data, it will obviously need a more sophisticated chip to be placed inside, and this requires The chip has been designed, and mechanical prostheses can play relatively few functions. For example, a prosthetic leg only requires the knee and ankle to move, and the nerve current processing data is relatively small, so no high-precision chips are needed. , a PCB board and some simple components are enough.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao stood up immediately and contacted someone: "Prepare titanium alloy for me for prosthetics, and..."

After some instructions, Lin Xiao decided to make several mechanical prostheses in the next time, especially arm prostheses, because compared to prosthetic legs, prosthetic hands are the best proof of their effectiveness, because legs are basically It only has the function of walking and supporting the human body, but the hands are the foundation for a person to have labor force.

Oh, by the way, even if it is created by then, some experiments will still need to be conducted on animals.

After thinking about it, Lin Xiao made another phone call: "Get me another monkey... Well, I don't need it now, just order it for me first, or the monkey I used last time, well, then use me Just the monkey I used last time will do.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao said sorry in his heart for the monkey last time.

This time, he probably had to remove a leg and a hand from the monkey.

Of course, biological experimental animals of this kind are basically executed after being tested, but he spared the life of the monkey last time. After all, he did not conduct drug or virus experiments on the monkey. According to the law, It can be allowed to survive until it dies normally.

Without further ado, I waited for the relevant equipment to arrive. By the way, I also had to watch the tutorials on amputation surgery and prosthetic limb surgery.

However, these things are just incidental. Lin Xiao has not forgotten that in mid-August, there will be an academic report on NS equations.

Time passed quickly, and the day of August 15th finally arrived. ,

On this day, the auditorium of Beijing University was once again overcrowded, with more than 2,000 seats occupied.

An academic report belonging to both the mathematics and physics communities has begun.
