As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 227 Brand New Mechanism

The lie detection mechanism can be traced back to 1870, when Italian psychologist Angelo Mosso discovered that when people are afraid or frightened, their pulse will change.

The earliest people used instruments to interrogate prisoners based on this mechanism.

In 1885, Mosuo's student Cesare Lombroso invented an instrument to measure the suspect's blood pressure for interrogation to judge the authenticity of the suspect's words.

Some 40 years later, Vittorio Benussi, also an Italian psychologist, discovered that the ratio of the inhalation to exhalation time of breathing changes when a person is lying.

The mechanics of the polygraph have changed once again.

Although polygraphs have been around for about 200 years, in reality their accuracy is pure luck.

There hasn't been a single rigorous enough experiment to prove that lie detectors are reliable.

Lie detection mechanisms based on human physiological responses are not as accurate as criminal psychology experts in judging what suspects say.

The above history of the lie detection mechanism shows that human beings have a strong demand for judging the truth of things.

But the previous mechanism could not achieve enough reliability.

Just because a lie detector is unreliable doesn't mean people don't have this need.

When Kechuangbiology's brain-computer connection mobile phone was launched, a certain Huaguo official department quickly realized that maybe we can use EEG neural signal diagrams to make polygraph judgments.

Whether it can be done is another matter.

It is the basic ethics to see the possibility and start to do it.

Later, a certain department of Huaguo contacted Zheng Li, and Zheng Li, as a technical supporter, built a complete lie detection mechanism based on brain-computer connection technology.

This set of lie detection mechanism has passed rigorous blind selection experiments, with an accuracy rate of over 90.00%.

Trials have already begun internally.

Later, on the basis of this mechanism, Zheng Li developed the "truth" system.

After listening to it, Li Miaomiao urged: "Hurry up and tell me what it is, don't keep it up."

Zheng Li: "The newly developed system is internally named the Truth System."

"The main content is to judge whether what you said or what you want to send is the truth you believe."

"And it's not a simple yes-or-no judgment."

"Instead, the score is used to judge the authenticity of what he said."

"For example, my personal experience is 100 points, and then listening to other people's dictation is 75 points, and listening to other people's retelling is 50 points, and I may only have 20 points if I speak out what I imagined."

"This system will be used on Weibo, Douyin, Toutiao and other social media."

After Zheng Li's truth system was developed, the Huaguo government was the happiest.

The situation in the public opinion field in Huaguo is too complicated, and all kinds of fake news emerge in endlessly.

You can make up news at will and cause an uproar.

With the truth system in place, at least one piece of fabricated news cannot require officials to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate.

Li Miaomiao quickly realized the great intrinsic value of the truth system, which could fundamentally re-establish the trust mechanism.

“The system makes a lot of sense,” she asked rhetorically.

"I still want to ask, the mechanism of its use is based on the degree of belief in one thing in the individual's heart."

"Will that person's inner fluctuations affect him?"

"For example, I obviously don't believe that this matter is true, but I keep hinting to myself in my brain, telling myself that this matter is true."

"Will this practice affect the final score of the truth system?"

Zheng Li said without hesitation: "Of course not, the truth mechanism needs to be confirmed repeatedly."

"It's not as simple as a direct answer, it's a whole system."

"The truth system was first applied to Weibo. For example, if you want to send a Weibo, you use the truth system to verify the Weibo content."

"As a blogger on this microblog, you will repeatedly confirm the credibility of its facts, and you will be interrupted by different questions in it."

It is the classic mechanism of traditional lie detection to make the subject of the lie test unable to concentrate on key issues through well-designed questions.

This mechanism is used in new technologies.

"Even experts trained specifically to counter censorship cannot hide from trust mechanisms."

"At most, it can be properly raised. For example, his trust level in this matter is only 50 points. A specially trained person can raise the truth system by [-] points at most."

"This still requires an expert to know the inner working mechanism of the truth mechanism. If he doesn't understand the inner mechanism, no matter how powerful the expert is, he can only increase the score by two or three points."

"Subsequent social media will be connected to this system one after another."

Li Miaomiao asked back: "Similar to our current electronic signature technology?"

"Equivalent to scientific and technological innovations using brain-computer connections to judge the authenticity of content sent by users, and its authenticity is judged by a series of mechanisms based on brain nerve signals?"

"So we are equivalent to the certificate issuer, just a middleman?"

Zheng Li: "Yes, you will be able to see the system on major social media in the future."

"When it comes to current affairs news, there will be a logo of Sci-tech Biotech behind each news, and the authenticity of the news can be distinguished by color."

"In the future, no matter whether it is the self-media or the media, it will not be able to fabricate news at will through hearing and hearing."

"Relevant people told me that if there is no investigation, there is no right to speak, and the follow-up media work will be rectified based on the truth system."

Li Miaomiao knew that this was undoubtedly a good thing for Hua Guo.

After self-media prevailed, traditional media had almost no way out.

A top ten traditional media in China has a monthly profit of only 10 yuan, which is not as good as any blogger with a million followers.

This phenomenon is the obvious phenomenon that bad money drives out good money.

Make up news and fabricate facts at will. The more exaggerated the facts, the more traffic will be attracted.

After being exposed, there is no perfect after-the-fact accountability mechanism, which makes the self-media more rampant.

There are no more journalists who can honestly run offline, and you can have a steady stream of news from sitting at home. The more you dare to write, the more traffic you get.

Conspiracy theories such as the Freemasonry, the Rothschild family, and the Illuminati originated abroad, and then domestic self-media bloggers chewed it up and spread it domestically.

The types of cases are numerous.

Since it has not yet reached the statutory working hours, it is actually still during the Spring Festival holiday.

Therefore, Li Miaomiao didn't have much work, so she came here first because she wanted to stay with Zheng Li for a while.

After Li Miaomiao listened, she kept thinking about the influence of the truth system.

She knew that after this thing came out, it would have a drastic impact, which would lead to huge changes in the public opinion field.

Even the chaos since the media age will be swept away.

But what comes with it is that the interests of many individuals are affected.

In the past, I could make money by compiling "news" at home, and I could talk about things I heard from friends, fans, and colleagues for a whole day with just a single mouth.

If you don't investigate now, you don't have the right to speak if you don't go to the scene, which is equivalent to cutting off other people's money.

It will inevitably lead to a serious public opinion offensive for science and technology innovation.

You must know that people engaged in self-media are most proficient in rhythm.

However, Li Miaomiao is not worried about this, because Kechuang Bio's products are not worried about resistance from the outside world.

She worries about other things:
"Have you ever thought about what to do if the people who issued the announcement to verify the truth do not believe it?"

Zheng Li explained: "When building this system, the Huaguo officials have considered this issue."

"It's the same for the government. They also need evidence from the actual investigation before they can make an announcement. The person who finally made the announcement will follow the entire investigation process."

"Instead of investigating and interviewing a group of people, it is another person who made the final announcement."

Li Miaomiao nodded: "Actually, there is another problem. Huaguo's official media used to publish overseas news. Most of the time, they directly reprinted the reports of foreign media, and they did not check the authenticity at all."

"After that, they have to conduct an offline on-the-spot investigation before they have the right to speak."

There are also a lot of fake news in foreign media, which is no less than Huaguo to a certain extent.

There are fewer media restrictions abroad.

The two words that someone said the most in front of the camera back then were fake news.

Although as a spectator I think it's funny, it's true.

While RT Battle brought reports on the front line in the West, most of the media in Huaguo mainly reproduced it.

The Huaguo media reported the negative news of the other party, but they only reprinted it lightly, without the ability to dig deep at all, and their combat effectiveness was weak.

"But it's true in the first place. Without investigation, there is no right to speak."

Zheng Li knew what she was worried about. The influence of the truth system was too great.

There must be a lot of discussion outside.

Zheng Li: "We are only the provider of technology, and the final implementation will be operated by a subsidiary company established as a joint venture with us."

"We'll only have a 30.00% stake."

"We're not even going to be directly involved in running the company."

In this regard, Huaguo has an attitude of experimentation, and wants to see if he can use new technology to solve the problems that have accumulated for a long time.

Zheng Li was in charge of the research and development of the lie detector, which has performed very well in the past two years.

The truth system performed perfectly in the test, and the mechanism has also been demonstrated and passed by relevant experts.

Therefore, Hua Guo is willing to try.

As for some individuals who are unwilling, they cannot stop the general trend.

Just like truck drivers are unwilling to be replaced by autonomous driving.

American truck drivers have largely lost their jobs as self-driving truck technology advances so rapidly.

Compared with the year-round automatic driving technology, the cost performance of human beings who need to eat and drink is too low.

A handful of truck drivers who lost their jobs even led to extreme incidents.

However, due to the complex territory of Huaguo and the Europa League, there are still a few areas that require truck drivers.

The trend of technology cannot be rejected by individuals.

Huaguo's desire to establish a sound trust mechanism is enough to overwhelm personal interests.

"In addition to the truth mechanism, is there any other achievement that can be disclosed in cooperation with the official?"

Li Miaomiao's face was full of curiosity.

Zheng Li took out this thing without making a sound. Before that, she didn't even know that Zheng Li was responsible for the development of the lie detectors that Huaguo was promoting one after another.

Hua Guo used lie detectors one after another, and some clues could be seen in the official bulletin.

There is a lot of public discussion about this, because the words related to polygraphs have hardly been seen in official reports before.

Because there is nothing in this thing that can prove its authenticity.

This move caused a lot of speculation from the outside world. Li Miaomiao heard them talk about it when he was having dinner with external executives.

According to a well-connected person, Huaguo has achieved a major technological breakthrough in the field of lie detection, reaching the world's number one level.

When its technology was being communicated with the Europa League, the other party directly proposed to introduce Huaguo's polygraph.

Hua Guo's answer at the time was that this thing was not mature enough.

In fact, it is because the polygraph has a language barrier and can only recognize Chinese, which is the same as the brain-computer connection.

Originally, the underlying mechanism of the lie detector is the brain-computer connection technology.

Li Miaomiao didn't think about Zheng Li at the time. Brain-computer connection and lie detection are completely two fields in the eyes of non-professionals.

Zheng Li nodded and said, "Of course there are, but they all involve confidentiality requirements, so it's not convenient to disclose them."

"But I can tell you that it has something to do with magic."

"But I can show you what magic looks like."

After Zheng Li finished speaking, the water in the water glass on the desk in front of them floated up from the glass.

The pure water was flying in the air like a ribbon, from the cup to Li Miaomiao's side.

Then form a string of water necklaces around her neck, and then slowly return to the glass.

Li Miaomiao blushed, pretending not to care, and said, "Congratulations, you have mastered a magical skill to seduce girls."

"You learned this from Huaguo's official magician?"

What Li Miaomiao didn't know was that no other mage in Lan Xing knew this trick, only Zheng Li knew it.

It's just a simple magic hand, and it needs 10 magic coins to exchange.

At present, no one in Blue Star is willing to spend so many magic coins to exchange for a magic hand.

Zheng Li smiled and said, "Magic is a secret, I haven't shown it to anyone except you."

"Just thinking that you have worked hard these years, and will work even harder in the foreseeable future, performing a little trick, I hope you can have a better holiday."

Li Miaomiao's eyes were slightly red: "It's rare for a straight man to have a heart, thank you."

"It's a good performance. With this skill alone, I can go to the Spring Festival Gala to partner with Dong Qing."

Zheng Li: "Haha, don't tell others after reading it, this is confidential content."

"I have actually violated the confidentiality regulations by performing for you."

"But I guess it's a rare vacation, and don't abide by those goddamn secrecy."

Li Miaomiao nodded and said, "Don't worry, God knows and the earth knows you and I know."

"But it won't be discovered, right? Hua Guo doesn't have a department like the Ministry of Magic, right?"

"They won't plant traces on you like in Harry Potter, it's a device that can detect whether you have used magic."

"You use magic and the Ministry of Magic will send someone to catch you, right?"

Li Miaomiao worried that Zheng Li would be punished for performing for her.

Zheng Li comforted: "No, maybe in the future, but not now."

"We are all just beginners to magic now, and we are still at a very superficial stage."

"If there is trace, then what I will perform for you is not a flowing necklace, but a flowing phoenix."

　There will be more specific instructions on the truth system in the future
