Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 712 [This technique is not difficult, it has been done]

After the meeting, Luo Sheng returned to his office, along with Gao Hua, the person in charge of the virtual brain computer project.

After the meeting, Luo Sheng directly approved the R\u0026D budget of 100 billion yuan in integers to him, and also went to the Azure Coast Laboratory with Gao Hua to see the progress of the virtual brain computer project department.

It is worth mentioning that "Côte d'Azur laboratory" is just a general term, referring to the most powerful comprehensive R\u0026D institution of Côte d'Azur, and there are R\u0026D centers with Côte d'Azur laboratories all over the world.

The emphasis on talents is well-known in the industry. Some geniuses are weird and don’t like to be far away from home.

Cote d'Azur said that it is no problem. If you have the ability, I will pay to build a research institute near your house. You don't need to drive to work, you can walk there.

Nowadays, the reputation of the Côte d'Azur laboratory is like a thunderous existence all over the world. People in the global scientific and technological circles are not aware of this, and they have even entered some elementary school textbooks.

People no longer call it the "Bell Labs of the East". This force is no longer enough. It is already with AT\u0026T Group's "Bell Labs" and Lockheed Martin's core advanced research department "Skunk Works". Equally famous, it is a globally recognized "black technology" R\u0026D center in the world today.

And Bell Labs has already declined, and it would be too unreliable to say that it is the "Bell Lab of the East", but the Cote d'Azur Lab is the youngest.

Speaking of youth, Google's "X Lab" is also very young and is now very well-known. However, in terms of influence and the output of technical products, Google's "X Lab" is one grade weaker.

...

Cote d'Azur Lab, Virtual Brain Machine Project Department.

Luo Sheng came to an independent research building. This building is dedicated to the headquarters of the virtual brain computer project department. It is the only separate project department and a headquarters within the group company so far.

Having a headquarters means having branches, and those branches are all over the world.

Ninety percent of the technology of the virtual brain computer is blank and unknown, and it is necessary to continuously expand the technological boundaries bit by bit, covering not only one or two scientific fields, but also interdisciplinary applications, involving electronics. , biology, materials, human brain and other disciplines applied research, it is not unreasonable for the project department to overrun the research funds every year.

now,

Gao Hua took Luo Sheng to hang out in the laboratory. The interior space is very large. The walls of the partitions are made of transparent glass partition walls. Engineers, researchers, and scholars are busy with their work. They happened to have a fight with Luo Sheng. A face-to-face will also say hello and continue to work on their own.

The employees here all know Luo Sheng, but Luo Sheng knows less than 1% of them, and most of the 1% who know them are one-sided relationships, but Luo Sheng's memory is very good. .

"Different technical principles lead to completely different applications. Google's virtual reality relies on human sensory feedback, while Musk's minimally invasive brain-computer interface is derived from the physical structure of human bioelectricity."

Luo Sheng stopped and looked at it. Gao Hua, who accompanied him in the building, introduced a few words from time to time. The big boss personally set up the project, but he rarely came in person.

At this time, Luo Sheng saw through the transparent partition wall in a laboratory, several staff members were doing a test work, one tester had a shaved head, and there was conductive glue and some wiring on his head. .

The tester focused on the screen in front of him, which was the interface of the Tetris game, but he did not operate it with his hands, but used "ideas" to guide the game.

At the same time, Gao Hua went on to say: "Biology believes that almost every cell is a micro-generator. Heart beats, muscle contractions, brain thinking, and any subtle physiological activity in the human body is related to bioelectricity. Neuron cells The information transfer between them is done by bioelectrical signals."

"If these bioelectrical signals can be captured and collected, and converted directly into computer-readable information, a bridge of direct interaction can be built between humans and computers, and the data exchange capabilities of this bridge will far exceed any current A physical terminal that even kills Azure-5 phones.”

Luo Sheng was still paying attention to the tester who used his brain to play Tetris, and said, "It looks like a good progress."

Gao Hua followed his line of sight, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "To be honest, Mr. Luo, he has been stuck here for several years. The pain point is that it takes too much brainpower. Distortion gives false logic signals, and it’s too labor-intensive for humans, and the product experience is terrible.”

"Actually, we have already found the relevant problems, there are only two, the first is how to obtain the correct information from the brain; the second is how to send the correct information to the brain? The first question is about receiving the output of the brain, namely: recording neural The second question is about getting information into the neural network of the brain, or changing neural flow, that is, stimulating neurons.”

These two things themselves are sent naturally in the brain, just like a person's eyes are doing some horizontal movement, so that he can see the picture in front of him, this is the brain's neurons outputting information to the machine, which is the human eye. , and the eye receives this information and responds appropriately.

Entering the retina through the eyes, stimulating the neurons in the occipital lobe allows the image to enter the human mind, and the image stimulates other neurons in the brain to make it possible for the human to process and store the information in these images, and then understand the outside world.

Gao Hua added: "When we really understand what's going on inside the brain, we realize that understanding these problems may be the hardest thing a human can do."

At this moment, Luo Sheng retracted his gaze and looked at Gao Hua: "This is the most difficult thing a human being can do? Why don't I think it's so difficult?"

Gao Hua was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said embarrassedly for a moment: "Mr. Luo, I've been chatting to death today. How can I continue with your words~"

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "It's really not that difficult. I've already done it myself. I'll copy a copy of the data for you later, and you can access it from the cloud."

Gao Hua's eyes suddenly rounded: "What? This... Boss Luo, are you joking?"

Luo Sheng said calmly, "Do you think that I'm a hands-off shopkeeper and that I don't do anything every night? I also have my own private laboratory. Don't forget your boss, my specialty is artificial intelligence. It's a cross-border linkage."

Bionics have come out, and a lot of technology in it is applicable to virtual brain machines.

After Gao Hua reacted, he was immediately ecstatic. It was too unexpected. He never thought that the big boss was also silently researching and developing.

Now that I come back to my senses, I realize that the big BOSS is not only a founder and an entrepreneur, but also a master of technology, but what makes him famous is because he founded several super technology giants and unprecedented wealth scale. However, as a technical master, this identity has been gradually ignored by people.

Gao Hua also realized that the best part of BOSS is artificial intelligence technology. The artificial intelligence technology of Cote d'Azur is absolutely leading the world. In fact, the core contributor is the founder himself.

Luo Sheng turned and asked, "By the way, have you found a solution for a truly immersive experience?"
