Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 867 Three Days Countdown to Chen Yan's Return

In the afternoon of that day, the [Carbon-based Silicon Neutralization] machine that Klein promised to send had entered Chen Yan's electronic equipment assembly workshop.

It was a white three-dimensional machine that looked like a large printer. It was about 6 cubic meters in size. The top part with a height of about [-] centimeters was a complicated-looking mechanical key console. The middle part was covered with A hollow part surrounded by some kind of resin material. There are three sliding rail robotic arms in this part. The whole hollow part looks like an operating table.

The lower part of the whole machine was welded together perfectly. Chen Yan reached out to touch it, and then withdrew his hand like an electric shock.

This thing... seems to be alive.

It seemed that it was too excited, the crow on the side didn't notice Chen Yan's abnormality at all, excitedly circled around the machine a few times, smacking its tongue and saying:

"It's really worth seeing once you hear it. According to them, this thing is almost the pinnacle of modern precision bioelectronic technology. The entire mechanical structure is accurate to every millimeter, um...you should understand, I mean every millimeter Is it an imaginary number? According to them, the accuracy of this machine should be around 3-30 microns."

Chen Yan was forcibly drawn back by the crow, thinking:
"The average diameter of normal human cells is between 5 and 200 microns, that is to say, this machine can produce almost all prosthetic bodies that adapt to the human body."

Crow corrected:
"It's an omnipotent prosthesis."

He pointed to a mechanical arm in the central part of the machine:

"This is only used to write biological codes into the chip, that is, to programmatically adapt the genes. After all, the omnic prosthesis is also a prosthesis. It is a dead guy and needs to be controlled by a chip."

Chen Yan's eyes are always on the lower part of the [Carbon-based Silicon Neutralization] machine:

"If you operate it manually, you can also achieve the precision required to transform the omnipotent prosthetic body, can't you?"

Crow said:

"It's okay, but it's too energy-intensive. I do this by myself, and I can do one operation a week. Although it's a lot of money, but including the cost of rent, water and electricity, and the cost of purchasing materials, there is not much left. .”

That's what people in business say, so Chen Yan didn't argue with him, but just pointed at the machine and said:

"If we take this machine apart, can we make a copy of it?"

The crow came to the side of the machine and pointed somewhere on the side:
"look."

Chen Yan came to look at the side, and saw a seal of unknown material welded between the central part and the lower part of the machine. The seal read: Disassemble without permission, no repair, no return, no replacement.

Chen Yan: "..."

Crow said: "In fact, there is no need to disassemble it. When this machine is worn out, it is estimated that the technology of [Carbon-based Silicon Neutralization] has been iterated long ago, and the machine has been updated for many generations, so let's build it hard. It can't be broken."

Out of caution, Chen Yan still asked: "Under what circumstances will it go bad?"

Crow picked up and put it on the top of the machine, and the 2cm-thick instruction manual that came with the machine: "You have to take a closer look."

Chen Yan nodded and said no more.

According to Chen Yan's plan, the crow is responsible for the operation of the [Carbon-based Silicon Neutralization] machine, the implementation of limb grafting surgery, and the recovery of the recipient's body during the follow-up medical procedures. This is originally the crow's old job, so Chen Yan Although he is not very relieved, but he wants to make money, there is no other good way for the time being.

The first floor above ground of the entire electronic equipment assembly workshop was converted into an omnipotent prosthetic operating room and recovery room.

The original size of this beehive was only half the size of an ordinary beehive. Fortunately, it had more floors, three floors above ground, two floors underground, and a full five floors were vacant.

The original owner was arrested after only renovating two floors, so the other three floors were basically empty, except for some sundries accumulated on one floor.

Later in the afternoon, with the help of Thomas Gilbert, Chen Yan purchased the required experimental instruments and office supplies according to the needs of the students during the interview—now his staff, and worked on the razor With the help of the party, the layout of the third floor above the hive was completed.

On the third floor above ground, Chen Yan plans to use it as a research laboratory for brain-computer technology.

This morning, after Wan Brinmosch sent a part of [brain computer technology] that she had studied when she was the deputy director of the neurostructural department of Byron Weiss Group, that is, brain computer technology, because she had already After sorting it out, Chen Yan immediately learned about the production process of the brain machine from an experiment summary report, a set of [Plan A] that has undergone countless experiments and put it into use, and the difficulties that may be encountered——

The problem of rejection of brain-computer chips and brain cell tissue——Since the [Carbon-based Silicon Neutralization] machine can modify brain-computer chips, "rejection" itself is actually not a problem.

However, due to the differences in the degree of completion of the operation and the physical fitness of different individuals, rejection will occur from time to time after [brain computer implantation surgery]. Mild patients need to take drugs to suppress rejection, moderate or severe patients Requires another craniotomy.

(Chen Yan saw more than two thousand clinical data, which marked the physical condition of the experimental samples. He didn't know how these experimental data came from.)
The most serious problem, and one that several large groups have not resolved over the years, is that—

After the human consciousness is uploaded to the brain-computer chip, the human consciousness cannot be compatible with the brain-computer/organic part of the body—the human consciousness and the brain-computer cannot be matched, and only exist in the storage chip in the form of data.

Although the chip can be used as a medium to issue instructions to the brain, thinking is also limited by the chip—once the chip cannot implement certain instructions of thinking, the brain computer will accumulate load due to the inability to execute thinking commands. The pattern keeps repeating and accumulating until the chip becomes unbalanced——

When the brain-computer chip can't load the order of thinking, and the accumulated program operation errors interfere with the normal operation of the body, [omnimechanical disease] occurs, and the specific symptoms are:
The omnipotent prosthetic body lags in movement, and even does not listen to it;
Brain-computer chips are overloaded and overheated, causing thinking to restart and lose files (memory loss within 1 to 2 hours);

Brain-computer chips are overloaded and overheated, which leads to increased intracranial pressure, which in turn destroys the biological brain structure (deeper brain surgery can be solved, but the surgical process is difficult, the risk is high, and the degree of loss of human emotions is much higher than that of ordinary brain surgery. machine chip modification surgery);

The overload of brain-computer chips leads to the side effects of redundant data on the omnipotent limbs (the following are the results of clinical trials: ...)
……

There are more than 30 follow-up test results of chip load imbalance, all of which were tested with human life.

Although it has not been repeatedly verified, this is not something that can be repeatedly verified, because clinical trials require huge data samples, and it is impossible for this kind of experiment to provide experimental investigators with huge clinical trial data samples.

The experimental report given by Wan Brinmersh listed more than 100 consequences of brain-computer chip load imbalance. Chen Yan looked at them one by one, only to feel dizzy. For a while, he felt that the brain-computer implant surgery was a joke.

……

In addition to the problem of brain-computer chip load, the brain-computer itself has some problems that cannot be solved at this stage.

One of the most typical problems is that the brain-computer chips that can be manufactured in the world at this stage have transistors that are not large enough to simulate all human thinking modes. Simulation of all the processes of human thinking—this involves material science again. Van Brinmersh also conducted a corresponding investigation on the corresponding material technology and compiled a survey report.

In addition to the material technology that cannot be broken through, there is also the aspect of program technology. The current assembly technology cannot write a complete hardware basic input and output system on the brain-computer chip—that is, the BIOS. The current program technology cannot do it. The underlying hardware BIOS that can run the huge software of "human thinking" is simulated on the hardware. Even the BIOS optimized by Wan Brinmosch himself can be said to be tailor-made according to her neural structure, and it cannot be completely simulated. Come out with some of her precise thinking.

In addition to material technology and program technology, brain-computer maintenance technology is not perfect, because brain-computer maintenance technology involves a large amount of knowledge of neuroscience (brain science) and biochip technology (interdisciplinary) subdivided in biology. And these majors have only been available in recent years, and the empire simply has no time to train so many talents in related majors.

Byron Weiss Group also relied on spending a lot of resources on a few brain-awakened Transcendents to achieve their current results.

Chen Yan realized the value of this experimental report, but he didn't feel that he had made a profit. According to Wan Brinmosh, there will be more money to be spent next, and more technological categories to be developed , Judging from the current state of the empire's technology, brain-computer technology is a bottomless pit that will pay off after no one knows how long it will take!

The entire experiment report——the experiment report of [Brain Computer Technology] that Wan Brinmosh copied from her brain computer, including text and pictures, a total of more than 30 gigabytes of content, Chen Yan has absolutely no way of short After reading the content, you can only retrieve the content you need from the directory.

Judging from the advice left by Wan Brinmersh in the appendix, she does not recommend Chen Yan to read all these things, because this report was originally a team of extraordinary scientists, and it took decades to complete the report. Time, which is summed up after countless experiments, cannot be digested by a single person.

Chen Yan understood her very well.

He was already dizzy just by looking at so many points—simply seeing so many problems that he was about to face from the catalog.

He closed the experiment report, and it took a while before he recovered from the mental stimulation.

The Byron Weiss Group has spent decades, devoted countless resources, sacrificed countless people, and verified a road that cannot be realized within a hundred years. '

Chen Yan closed the profile page and stared blankly at the phone.

'No wonder... no wonder the Mechanic Repair Association wants to make [external organs] like mobile phones, because they want to overtake in a curve.

[External organ] will become a replica of human beings, replicating a complete human being, Cyborg Quinn is the best example.

After going through everything - after the death of the main body, born in the mobile phone, completely simulating the will of the main body, Cyborg Quinn has successfully become a data life, he can at least adapt to the mobile phone - he can at least Complete control over the mobile phone - If the mobile phone is regarded as his body, then Cyborg Quinn has completed the mechanical ascension and has become a silicon-based life that cannot move.

If Cyborg Quinn could control an entire mechanical body through a mobile phone, wouldn't he complete the process from data ascension to mechanical ascension, and become a real silicon-based life form! '

Chen Yan then thought:
'But even so, they still have to face the same difficulty-there is a mobile phone between the consciousness and the body, but can the mobile phone simulate all human conscious commands?

I'm afraid it won't work, because the functions of the mobile phone are limited, and the program instructions that the mobile phone can implement can't even be compared with the computer. Why should we control a more sophisticated brain computer? '

Chen Yan was thoughtful:
'Is there a possibility - the reason why the Society of Mechanics allows mobile phones into everyone's hands is to allow mobile phones to learn and evolve by themselves during the process of using mobile phones by everyone, and finally become something like a brain?

The mobile phone can evolve by itself because the mobile phone itself is a bioelectronic material, an external organ of the nerves!
In this way, the consciousness in the mobile phone can use the constantly improving brain of the mobile phone as a container.

The mobile phone is the brain, as well as a program editing device, and because it constantly adapts to the consciousness, it does not need to do BIOS adaptation.

this……'

Chen Yan thought about it and found it reliable!

But he also knows that this is completely his own imagination, an unfounded guess, and he has evidence to refute his theory——

If this is the case, there is absolutely no need for the Mechanic Society to take great risks and join forces with the other two forces to capture the white snake carrying the deadly virus. It only needs to wait for decades, hundreds of years. Under the "evolution" of the human body, it was completed naturally.

Chen Yan patted his face.

You can't simply think like this.

The Machine Repair Society took a strange risk to catch the white snake, maybe the leader of the Machine Repair Society had a brain twitch, or maybe it was.

After Chen Yan closed the experiment report, he thought for a long time, and finally came up with a clear idea:

Since it is temporarily impossible to achieve a breakthrough at the technical level, we should do the most basic things first, and then move forward step by step when the market is stable.

By tomorrow morning, some of the 27 people he had negotiated and signed the contract with will enter the third floor above the ground of this hive, and start research on a subdivision of the brain-computer technology selected by Chen Yan. ——Imitate the external structure of the brain-machine according to the brain-machine blueprint given by Wan Brinmosch.

Chen Yan can't get a special lithography machine for the time being, so he can't make brain-computer chips. Therefore, a lithography machine that can pattern biochips is also one of his future goals.

And another small group of employees will enter the first floor of the hive to become the crow's assistants, familiar with the program editing and implantation operations of the omnic prosthesis.

Chen Yan gave Crow a special contract, which not only gave him plenty of benefits, but also promised some important powers in the contract. Presumably Crow would be happy to teach these newcomers.

Chen Yan made up his mind. He didn't have any relevant knowledge accumulation. Even with the mature theoretical and practical research of the Byronsway Group to pave the way, he couldn't eat a fat man with one bite. Therefore, in order to solve the problems faced by brain-computer technology, he The only way to do it is to throw money at it first - he is mentally prepared to treat it as a trial investment, and the investment will not have a penny return for a long time.
