As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 28 Brain-Computer Connections
Affected by the epidemic, the office environment in the Lion City has been sluggish, and the occupancy rate of office buildings across the island has shrunk by 0.3%.Commercial real estate prices fell again and again.

Kechuangbio spent a huge amount of money to buy an office building 4km down from the Tuas Biomedical Park in the Lion City, near the Pacific Ocean, and Aibo Biobio has full authority to transform it into a research and development center integrating experiments and offices.

The pharmaceutical R&D industry in the Lion City is very developed. Among them, the Tuas Biomedical Park has research institutes of multinational pharmaceutical companies including AbbVie, Alcon, GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Roche, and Shire.

The supporting facilities are very complete, but the office building chosen by Kechuang Biology is some distance away from the Tuas Biomedical Park, so you can only enjoy part of the convenience of the Tuas Biomedical Park.

This office building will be used as the R&D center of Kechuangbio Lion City, and the cost of renovation will total 16.8 billion yuan, or about 84 billion yuan.

For science and technology creatures with 50 billion yuan of unspent dollars lying on the books, this money is small money at best.

Before the R&D center was built in Lion City, Lei Jun came to Gusu to talk with Zheng Li. He felt that there is no need to invest so much to build an overseas R&D center.

"Junior Brother, it is very common for pharmaceutical companies to build R&D bases overseas. In particular, the development of scientific and technological innovations cannot rely solely on endorphins."

"I can fully understand and support it. The R&D environment and various supporting facilities in the Lion City are very good. Rice may go to the Lion City to set up a R&D base in the future."

"But it is not necessary to buy an office building. In the early stage, you can rent the office building first, and then consider buying or even building yourself if the scale increases later."

Now Lei Jun and Zheng Li are usually referred to as brothers and sisters to show their closeness.

Zheng Li still holds 70.00% of the equity of Kechuang Bio, and has absolute control over the company, while other shareholders only have the right to make suggestions.

Lei Jun's suggestion is a typical Internet thinking, running in small steps and constantly iterating.

Zheng Li replied: "I plan to stay in the Lion City in the future. The company has Cheng Gang and Li Miaomiao watching over me. After the R&D base in the Lion City is completed, I will stay in the Lion City. I have a new research goal. "

"The R&D base in Lion City will support the development of Kechuangbio in the next five years."

Zheng Li's answer made Lei Jun full of curiosity. You must know that it has been a year since Zheng Li studied the industrial synthesis route of endorphins. what.

"If this is the case, then I think there is nothing wrong with the R&D base in Lion City."

"But I'm still curious what your research goals are?"

Zheng Li replied: "Brain-computer connection, I have been researching this direction last year. I have some results and some clues. I need to go to the Lion City to verify my ideas."

"The reason why I have to go to the Lion City is because the Lion City has a relatively rich race, and the brain-computer interface needs enough rich races to conduct experiments."

Compared with the relatively single yellow race in Huaguo, the Southeast Asian race is much richer.

Zheng Li continued to explain: "Moreover, different languages ​​will produce differences in people's consciousness. The same brain wave signal may express different meanings in different language systems."

Lei Jun was dumbfounded when he heard it. He didn't understand what Zheng Li said. Most people don't know whether the language family will affect your cognitive function.

Zheng Li: "So I need to conduct more multi-dimensional experiments to revise my theory and my products."

Zheng Li's statement is an external statement. In fact, the reason why he is going to the Lion City is that he has made a breakthrough in the artificial magic brain.

The artificial magic brain is a very common technology in the Mage Alliance, and it is applied to everyone, but it does not mean that he can make an artificial magic brain. He understands the principles in it, but it will take time to reproduce it.

Just like everyone in Huaguo who has received a middle school education knows the principle of the steam engine, but throwing him into ancient times, it may not be so easy to reproduce the steam engine in the absence of tools.

Of course this is just an analogy.

Moreover, American has blocked many top scientific research equipment from China.

There are as many as 4500 commodities on the American control list, more than 40% of which are scientific research equipment required by laboratories.

These scientific research equipment can be bought in Lion City, but they cannot be bought in China.This is also an important reason for Zheng Li to go to the Lion City.

Another very important point is that even if an artificial magic brain is created, Zheng Li would not dare to apply it to himself in the first place, and he still needs an experimental body to carry out the experiment.

Zheng Li said to the outside world that it is necessary to develop a brain-computer interface.

Lei Jun asked: "Are there any preliminary products that can be displayed?"

Zheng Li took him to the laboratory on the seventh floor, and handed him a black helmet, "After you put it on, try to use your consciousness to control the dots on the screen."

"Think of the point on the screen as a mouse, try it."

Looking at the black and white dots on the screen, Lei Jun had a great time playing.

Zheng Li continued: "You can try our little game."

After Zheng Li sat on the other side and put on a black helmet, he continued: "I control the white stripe on the left, and you control the white stripe on the right. This is a table tennis game."

"The white stripes are the shots, and the white dots are the ping pong balls. We can't let the white dots touch the black parts on both sides."

Lei Jun nodded and said, "Isn't that the same as the first computer game in history?"

The first computer game was a table tennis game in which American scientists who studied nuclear weapons used a computer combined with an oscilloscope and controlled by an operating knob to bounce back and forth when they were bored.

After playing around, Zheng Li stood up and motioned, "Let's go."

Lei Jun is still a little bit reluctant:
"I will fully support you, you are really a genius among geniuses."

Zheng Li said indifferently: "The current brain-computer connection technology is still far from being mature. In the next days in Lion City, I will devote myself to research and development of brain-computer connection technology and commercialize it as soon as possible."

Lei Jun asked: "Can brain-computer connection technology be applied to mobile phones?"

Zheng Li: "They are all mature API interface calling methods. Brain signals are converted to electronic signals. If you can connect to a computer, you can also connect to a mobile phone."

Lei Jun: "Dami is in a difficult situation recently. I am not afraid of your jokes. Dami has been established for almost ten years, and it can only use cost performance as a signboard."

"If you want to break through the high-end, you can't make a breakthrough. Even today, rice still cannot gain a firm foothold in the high-end mobile phone market."

Zheng Li doesn't understand the mobile phone industry, or he doesn't understand Bluestar's consumer goods industry: "Is there anything wrong with the price/performance ratio?"

"Rice is a cost-effective background, why?" Zheng Li stopped talking halfway through.

His potential meaning is that rice mobile phones are originally made of cost-effective, why should they look down on cost-effective now.
