Short video spoiler history: The beginning of modern warfare

Chapter 122 Monkeys, English, Brain-Computer Interface
"The question is, how is the helical curve processed?"

"It's in the Criminal Law, check it yourself"

《Hammering, forging, and broaching on broaching machines》

"I don't dare to learn this issue [awkward]"

In front of the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the records in the comment section and started laughing.

Although the specific manufacturing method of the rifling is not quite understood, with the inspiration of combining bullets and gunpowder, the lethality of the musket will be further increased, and the time for changing ammunition will be greatly reduced.

Although there are still some regrets, this is already very good. With a specific design draft, the rest can only depend on the craftsmen.

Furthermore, he was also afraid that the envoys from other countries in Jinling City would learn these things. Now this kind of stop-gap approach was a neither good nor bad outcome. It was not that he was confident in the craftsmen in Jinling City, but he knew that the iron smelting technology in these countries was really poor.

For example, if the material of a musket is not strong enough, the barrel will explode, and the same is true if used frequently. This alone is enough to give them a headache for a long time.

"What would happen if this impact ignition method was added to the artillery shells? I remember that the gas tanks were launched in this way at the beginning, and there was no ignition step in the whole process." A general mentioned.

Zhu Yuanzhang had some impression, but he certainly didn't remember the specific information, so he asked someone to quickly find the corresponding content. However, because it was an actual picture at the time and the clerks recorded it in text, they couldn't find it.

Theoretically speaking, this idea is correct, so there is no disagreement among the people. Anyway, we will know if we try it.

Gas tank. Looking back after more than half a year, Zhu Yuanzhang and others knew that judging from the name, the tank must be filled with gas, otherwise there was no reason to name it this way, otherwise it should be called a kerosene tank or an oil tank.

But they still don't know how to gasify coal ore and how to compress the gas.

Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City.

Li Shimin and others were helpless. They knew the composition ratio of gunpowder, but the problem was that they didn't know what kind of substance it was.
It's like you have a treasure chest, but the item in it is extremely important, but unfortunately you don't have the key.
Wait, this is what everyone is thinking. The original video did not mention the preparation of this raw material (nitrate), and I don’t know if it will be mentioned in the future.

[The comprehensive liberal arts and science exams, which have been around for decades, will gradually bid farewell to the historical stage in the next few years and usher in a new college entrance examination model. This marks another major step forward in education reform and also heralds a new trend in future talent training.]

[The new college entrance examination 3+1+2 model provides a more diversified choice space, where 3 refers to the three basic courses of Chinese, mathematics, and English, and the score of each course is 150 points]

[1 is to choose one of the two subjects of physics and history for the exam, and the score of each course is 100 points. 2 is to choose two of the four subjects of chemistry, biology, geography, and politics for the exam.]

[This reform means that students can make choices based on their interests and strengths, which not only embodies the concept of personalized education, but also helps to discover and cultivate students' potential in different fields]

[This reform is actually reasonable to a certain extent. For example, when dividing the subjects into arts and sciences, physics and chemistry are the subjects with the most serious polarization. Those who study well can basically get full marks, while those who study poorly can hardly even pass.]

[Especially for physics, the score is basically between 100-120, but in ordinary high schools, more than 6-7% of students fail in physics, which means that most people can't get more than 60 points, and - points is the norm.]

[It may be due to their lack of understanding or the wrong teaching method. In short, for these students, physics is a subject where they lose a lot of points.]

[The implementation of the new college entrance examination model undoubtedly provides students with more choices and autonomy. They can flexibly choose a subject combination that suits them according to their interests and strengths.]

Jinling City, in front of Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others were learning about the content of later education for the first time. Many people showed great interest, because they saw many jokes in the comments section: "In high school, I knew everything about astronomy and geography, but in college, I only knew how to eat. Aba Aba.
The reason for this is related to the relatively relaxed atmosphere in universities.

"Are we planning to train this high school student into an all-rounder?" Liu Ji and the others were a little surprised. The span was too big. Even though they knew that primary, middle and high schools were the foundation and universities were the buildings of various shapes on top, they were still a little surprised and astonished.

"In other words, the science subjects before were physics, chemistry and biology." Everyone understood that this was consistent with most of the subjects they were exposed to today.

"Then what's the point of studying liberal arts?" Hu Weiyong and others were also confused. It was obvious that the technology of later generations was driven by science, so their position naturally leaned towards science.

"."

"Chinese is okay, but why does the English score account for such a high proportion?" Everyone was puzzled, and the comment section also called for reducing or canceling the English subject.

"Perhaps it is because Western countries had stronger science and technology before, and various cutting-edge theories and technologies were proposed by them." Liu Ji explained. This phenomenon is not surprising. For example, Goryeo in the northeast and various small countries in the south spoke the current official language when they interacted with the Ming Dynasty.

"."Everyone was silent, knowing that this statement was correct. In this situation, they could only learn other people's language and then study abroad to learn from their achievements.

"Arithmetic is so important?" Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed in surprise. Tianmu had mentioned before that arithmetic was important, but he had never seen any related videos. He did not expect that it would become one of the three main subjects in later generations.

"Tianmu said that this is the foundation of physics, but I don't know if the contents in the Ten Mathematical Books are sufficient!" Liu Ji said with a frown. The Ten Mathematical Books are ten arithmetic books stipulated by the government in the first year of Xianqing in the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone in the Science Department had an embarrassed look on their faces. Not only were they not familiar with the contents, most of them had never read them. Many people didn't even know which ten books they were.

This was the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang had heard of the name of the Ten Mathematical Books. Looking at the expressions of the people in the Science Department, he knew that they had hardly read any of them. So he calmly ordered Liu Ji and others to compile a new general arithmetic book based on the contents of the Ten Mathematical Books.

After all, these ancient books are relatively obscure and difficult to understand, and reading ten books at a time can really undermine one's self-confidence.

If this system were moved to the present day, then Chinese would be the Four Books and Five Classics and the classics of ancient sages; history would be Zuo Zhuan, Book of Han, Book of the Later Han, Old Book of Tang, Zizhi Tongjian and other contents. Perhaps most of the content could be edited and omitted appropriately; for English, it is enough to know the twenty-six letters of the alphabet, and there is no need to take a separate subject; and then there are mathematics, physics, and biochemistry.

This is a relatively complete education system.
To be honest, it seems that the burden is still quite heavy. Perhaps you can complete Chinese, history and other subjects in elementary and junior high school, and then mathematics and three other subjects after high school.

Ideas flashed through Zhu Yuanzhang's mind one after another. He needed to weigh the pros and cons, and then discuss with his ministers to pool their wisdom.

[Earth Online has a major update. The screen shows a monkey with a brain chip implanted. The monkey has learned to play table tennis with its brain, and it is played upside down. You can see that it plays perfectly.] [This is already scary, right? What's even scarier is that now the monkey can skillfully sit in front of the computer and type the words "can i please have snacks" on the software disk.]

[It seems that after the brain-computer interface was implanted in the brain, the monkey can not only type with its mind, but also understand English. It can be seen that after it typed this line of words, the experimenter immediately brought an iPad and asked it to choose snacks. It only took a glance and made its choice, which shows that this is not the first time it has chosen snacks in this way.]

[Brain-computer interface experiments have been conducted on thousands of animals such as mice, monkeys, and pigs. Now it has finally been connected to the human brain. Someone was connected to a brain-computer interface three months ago.]

[Its first patient is a man who is completely paralyzed. Through the brain-computer interface, he can now control the computer and even play games with his mind. From now on, he no longer has to hold a tube in his mouth and laboriously click on the screen.]

[And if this technology is used on the blind or deaf, an external camera, sound collection equipment, etc. can be connected to make up for human defects.]

[This is just our simplest guess, and compared to brain-computer interfaces, it has no technical difficulty and is definitely achievable. So what kind of impact will it bring? I made a simple guess, but I will state first that it is just a guess.]

[1. Medical capabilities are exploding. Brain-computer interface technology can be used to precisely regulate brain chemicals and treat psychological diseases such as depression and anxiety]

[2. Extrasensory experience will explode, and human sensory and cognitive abilities can be enhanced. For example, information can be received and transmitted directly from the brain, memory can be improved, and even direct communication of thoughts can be achieved, similar to telepathy]

[People can also experience the sensations of other creatures through brain-computer interfaces, such as the flight of birds, the sonar perception of dolphins, and even the emotional experiences of other people. They may also be able to directly enter the virtual environment through thinking, and even feel the touch and smell in the virtual environment.]

[3. The way of learning may change completely. Information and skills can be learned by uploading and downloading directly in the brain, which greatly shortens the learning time and improves efficiency. In the future, there may be no need to study.]

[10. Consciousness uploading. Human consciousness or memory can be uploaded to the cloud or other carriers to achieve a form of digital immortality. This may lead to a redefinition of human identity and the nature of life. Does life refer to consciousness or our body?]

[Whether you are ready or not, we may have reached a new stage of humanity..]

Jinling City, Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of civil and military officials suddenly felt their scalps tingling. From the skylight, they could see that there was indeed a monkey playing the game of catching a ping-pong ball. The ball was catapulted from various angles, and then bounced back from above or below. It could be seen that the monkey was indeed controlling the board to catch the ball.

What is even more explosive is the next sentence, "Monkeys have learned English and typing."
Zhu Yuanzhang, Hu Weiyong, Liu Ji and all the people present were all frightened and their faces changed drastically.
In other words, with this brain-computer interface, the intelligence of animals can be greatly improved, allowing them to communicate with humans?

No, it's definitely more than that, but the terrifying effect has already emerged: who will find it more difficult to learn English, a person who doesn't understand English or a monkey who doesn't understand English?
There is no doubt that it is more difficult for monkeys to learn.

In other words, if brain-computer interfaces can allow monkeys to learn English, then they can naturally allow humans to learn English. But what about physics, chemistry, biology and other subjects?
This is something that makes everyone feel cold in their hearts. What’s even more terrifying is that they can even train monkeys to learn English.

And what the young man at Tianmu mentioned about installing cameras, sound collecting devices, etc., wouldn't that restore sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf?

"Has the technology of later generations reached this level?" Liu Ji couldn't help but ask.

"This is too exaggerated. This brain-computer interface is controlled in a way that we can't see, right? I don't want others to be implanted with an interface that can be controlled by others." Hu Weiyong's face was still a little pale, and he couldn't help but said excitedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others also nodded in agreement. From the comment area, we can see that many people have doubts about its safety everywhere.

The problem is that this kind of control is completely one-sided and invisible. Except for those who have no choice, such as the paralyzed person in the video, most people will be afraid of it.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others knew that technology was advanced in later generations, and that typing communication was a daily routine. For example, for the paralyzed person in the video, it seemed much more convenient to connect to the brain-computer interface, but this did not impress him at all.
Even learning efficiency cannot be greatly improved. Then there is the so-called consciousness uploading, which is a way to achieve immortality, or eternal life.
This news was so explosive that the faces of all the civil and military officials changed again and again. They were all in an uproar and kept questioning.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply in his heart. He seemed to be able to accept the biological way of exploring the secrets of genes to prolong life, but he could not accept the way that other people seemed to be able to control the brain-computer interface. However, there is no doubt that more and more people will choose to connect to the brain-computer interface, like the civil and military ministers at this time. This is the general trend.

"Uploading consciousness. Immortality." Many people looked at the sky and murmured to themselves. Of course, this was only the second way of prolonging life mentioned by the sky. It was still under speculation for the time being. Everyone was not proficient in this and did not know what the chances of success were.

But I believe that even if the probability is very small, there will be people who will risk their lives to try it. This is a very natural truth. Those old guys have tried everything, but they will not give up the hope of survival.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to laugh when he looked at the comment section. It was obvious that he was also a conservative.

Hexing Tea and Snack Shop.

Shopkeeper Wan and the other diners felt like they were going crazy. They were certainly not expecting immortality, but they wanted this brain-computer interface to help them regain sight and hearing through the various external devices that the young man on Tianmu had mentioned.

Even paralyzed people can access the brain-computer interface to play games and communicate with others.

Naturally, they cannot understand even one ten-thousandth of the shocking degree here. Only those who have regained their sight and hearing are qualified to talk about it.

Not to mention what was mentioned in the sky, the learning efficiency is greatly improved. Not to mention getting the top three or two places in the imperial examination, wouldn’t it be easy to pass the imperial examination and become a juren?

No, no, no. Maybe by then everyone will have access to a brain-computer interface.
"What a crazy new world this is?" Shopkeeper Wan sighed. The future was not something he could predict, and he would be happy if his imagination could be even 1% accurate.

"This is a double-edged sword," someone sighed, but it was not easy to really say something profound. It was obvious that he was still dizzy and had not recovered from the shocking news.

No wonder there are so many conservatives in history

"I was completely defeated when I heard that I didn't need to learn that part anymore"

"It's okay, because these things are only for players who pay the gold."

《More broken.》

"It's over. I created the account too early. Are the benefits for newbies so good now?"
