Great Country Academician

Chapter 1022 The launch of brain-computer interface chips~

Jinling, Xinghai Research Institute.

In the dean's office, Xu Chuan was talking to Xu Xiao.

The four astronauts on the Hanhai space shuttle are still in the vast deep space, and it will take half a month to reach the moon.

The research on Martian microorganisms and the treatment of infections has been organized, and scientific research and medical personnel and related equipment from various countries are being transported to the moon by space shuttle.

While there is still some time in the meantime, it is time to launch brain-computer interface chips and bionic intelligent prostheses on the market.

The sooner this kind of medical technology and products are launched, the better.

Although it is certain that the external sales price of this set of products will be quite expensive in a short period of time, it is not affordable for ordinary people.

But the market needs someone to open up and expand it.

They have launched brain-computer interface chips and bionic intelligent prostheses, so other countries and capital will naturally invest money in them after seeing the potential of this emerging market, actively or passively helping them expand this market.

Just like the electronic products such as mobile phones and computers in the last century, when they first came out, only rich people could afford them.

But now, almost everyone has a mobile phone and computer, or even more than one.

The development of the times will always push technology to innovate, and the originally expensive equipment will gradually become popular in everyone's hands.

Although not everyone needs bionic intelligent prostheses, Xu Chuan is sure that in the future, most people will actively embrace brain-computer interface chips and virtual reality technology.

After all, who doesn't want to have a 100% real second world?

For humans with limited life, if they can also make use of sleep time, it is completely another way to extend life.

"Brother, the time for the product launch has been set, just one week later."

On the other side of the video call, Xu Xiao asked with some concern: "But can you really spare the time?"

She must have known that the astronauts of the manned Mars landing project were infected with Martian microorganisms, and her brother, as the chief engineer of this project, must be very busy.

If it really doesn't work, then she can host the product launch herself.

After all, compared to a product launch conference, solving the extraterrestrial life infection crisis currently faced by humans is more important.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I am definitely busy, but I can't spare a day."

"The Mars landing team is still on the way back. The formal research and treatment will have to wait until they come back. Now there is not much else to do except transporting scientific researchers and materials to the moon."

After a slight pause, he did not say much about this matter, and went straight to the point and said, "Speaking of which, regarding the brain-computer interface chip technology, how are you going to deal with it in the future?"

Applying this technology to bionic intelligent prostheses to help disabled people resume normal life is just a part of the expansion function of brain-computer interface chip technology.

Virtual reality technology is its real direction, and the changes that the latter can bring to the whole world are simply not comparable to simple brain-computer interface technology.

Hearing this question, Xu Xiao on the other side of the mobile video thought for a while and said: "Medical, games, entertainment, industry, military.?"

After a slight pause, she said with a headache: "There are too many fields where virtual reality technology can be applied, and I don't know what to do next."

Xu Chuan smiled and continued to ask: "What if it is what you want to do most? What do you want to do?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiao thought for a while and replied: "Maybe games?"

"I plan to use it to build a completely real second world, the kind that can fly and hide."

Hearing this answer, Xu Chuan was not too surprised. Xu Xiao loves to play more than him, and it is normal to want to apply virtual technology to games.

Xu Chuan continued to guide: "So what are you going to do?"

On the other side of the video, Xu Xiao thought for a moment and said: "Two aspects, one is to continue to improve the five senses of the brain-computer interface chip."

"Vision, hearing, smell, skin and touch have their own medical markets. There are many deaf, dumb and blind people in this world."

"On the one hand, continue to study these brain-computer interface chip technology to help them return to normal life."

"On the other hand, we can also collect enough experimental and application data to support the development of virtual reality technology."

"After all, if you want to create a 100% real second world, then the various indicators and senses of human activities Touch needs to be taken into consideration. "

After a pause, she looked at her brother and continued: "In addition, I plan to acquire a game company!"

Xu Chuan: "Acquire a game company?"

Xu Xiao nodded and said: "Of course, if you want to make games, you must have your own game company, right? Isn't this a very normal thing?"

After listening to Xu Xiao's thoughts, Xu Chuan smiled and got to the point, saying: "Normal, but have you ever considered licensing virtual reality technology to other companies?"

Looking at this sister, he continued: "For example, the game you mentioned, I don't deny that virtual reality technology guides brainwave immersive games, which are absolutely incomparable to traditional electronic devices. "

"It is foreseeable that the future game market will be dominated by the kind of virtual reality games you mentioned."

"But this market is too big, and you can't take it all by yourself."

"Just like carbon-based chip technology, we also have core technology, but it is impossible to take up all the market share."

"Even if the core virtual reality technology is in your hands."

"You can acquire a game company to make a game you like, but you can't, and can't, prevent other companies from participating."

"It is undeniable that monopoly is indeed the fastest way to make money, but monopoly is also an inefficient way to make technology lag behind."

"You want to slowly extend your control of brain-computer interface chips to all fields such as medical care, games, entertainment, industry, and military. This is an extremely inefficient idea and an almost impossible idea."

Hearing these words, Xu Xiao frowned slightly and asked, "Then what should I do, brother?"

She really thought so at first. Anyway, the core technology is in her own hands, and she can slowly develop applications in these different fields. Others can't compete with her for the market.

"It's very simple."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "In fact, the most suitable road is right in front of you. Someone has helped you walk it and proved that it is the most suitable road."

"For example, carbon-based chips. Do you know why we still choose to cooperate with companies in the United States and the European Union after we have achieved an advantage in the chip field and still open up the agency authorization of carbon-based chips to them, instead of choosing to sell chips directly to them?"

"Why?" Xu Xiao asked with a frown.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Because of the market and competition."

After a pause, he went on to explain, "Carbon-based chips need local companies in North America and the European Union to help us open up the chip market in their countries. Disintegration from within is the fastest and simplest way."

"The same is true for virtual reality technology."

"No company, no technology can stay ahead forever."

"Technological updates and iterations are inevitable. Even if virtual reality technology has no competitors now, you cannot guarantee that there will be no competitors in the future."

"What you need to do is not to extend your tentacles into every field, but to grasp your technological leadership, take virtual reality technology as the core, build an ecological chain belonging to it, and build a world around this technology."

"Instead of thinking that everything should be in your own hands, this is unrealistic and impossible."

On the other side of the video call, Xu Xiao said thoughtfully, "What if I can do it?"

A correct version of 1619, 1 book, 1 bar!

Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "You can't do it. Governments will never allow you to do this."

"What you should do is to build a platform based on your core technology, like carbon-based chips and Warwick, and build an ecosystem around core technology to occupy this blank market as soon as possible."

"And in other areas extending from this platform and ecosystem, you need countless other companies to help you complete those downstream products."

"You don't need to do those trivial things, you just need to master virtual reality technology and stand at the top of this ecological chain."

"For other things, countless companies will take the initiative to join in and help you promote the prosperity and expansion of virtual reality technology. They will spend more time than you do. If you put your heart and soul into it, you will do better. "

After a slight pause, he continued with a smile: "Of course, if you are interested, just like you want to make a game that can fly and hide, it is completely possible. "

"But what you really want to grasp is not the derived game products, but the real core virtual reality technology that you have mastered. "

"As long as you hold this position and continue to optimize it, and do the best in the entire industry, it is enough to stand at the top of the pyramid in this field. "

After listening to this, Xu Xiao nodded thoughtfully and said: "I know, brother, I will plan the future development direction of Starlight Technology."

After hanging up the video call with Xu Xiao, Xu Chuan stared at the dark mobile phone screen for a long time.

It can be predicted that after the brain-computer interface chip technology + bionics intelligent prosthetic technology conference, virtual reality technology will definitely enter the eyes of all countries.

But once this technology can be developed to the point where it can perfectly read and write human brain waves, its impact on the whole world will be subversive.

And subversive technology will definitely bring subversive impact.

In fact, Xu Chuan is not sure whether the impact of virtual reality technology on the world will be good or bad once it is completed.

The changes it brings may be far more than what he can see.

Especially when the future "second world" enters human life, the impact it brings is even more difficult to guess.

After all, compared to the "disaster-ridden" real world, there may be more people who are willing to choose to live in a "happy" virtual world for their entire lives.

The excessive use of virtual reality technology may lead to the separation of users from the real world and produce new forms of alienation.

Excessive addiction to the virtual world may lead to a decline in the progress of the real world, and even the extinction of mankind is not impossible.

In addition, security and privacy risks are also issues that should not be underestimated.

The brain is the most sophisticated part of the human body, and any manipulation of it may bring a series of unpredictable problems.

In particular, virtual reality technology involves large-scale reading and writing of brain waves, which is bound to be affected by malware, ransomware and similar vulnerabilities in existing applications.

They will even face hacker organizations from various countries, as well as attack plans by some extreme forces, etc.

It is conceivable that as long as virtual reality technology is launched, there will inevitably be people who will try to distort the user's perception, access sensitive data, seize control of the device, etc. through this technology.

How to protect users and mitigate these types of risks is crucial.

To be honest, these things are no longer something that individuals can guarantee to handle.

Except for the national government, even he cannot bear this responsibility.

Fortunately, what is launched now is only the bionic intelligent prosthesis, and they still have enough time to improve and solve these problems.

Of course, it is also necessary to pull the motherland behind him to solve these problems.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan put down his phone and took out a stack of letter paper from the drawer.

It's time to discuss with the higher-ups.

At least before the full launch of virtual reality technology, they need to work together to come up with a bill to improve this technology, so as to prevent virtual reality technology from being abused in the future or endangering people who use this technology.

At the same time, on the other side, on the Internet.

Just as the world's attention and attention were focused on news reports about Martian microorganisms and the four infected astronauts who landed on Mars, an astonishing piece of news quickly became a hot search on major domestic platforms.

"The 'brain-computer interface chip technology' developed by Starlight Virtual Reality Technology Company and the 'complete bionics intelligent prosthesis' are perfectly linked, and disabled people can use these two technologies to restore normal human life."

"Brainwave control of electronic mechanical products has achieved a major breakthrough, and virtual reality technology is coming!"

When the two news messages that occupied the hot searches on major platforms suddenly appeared, they almost shocked everyone.

Especially the shareholding structure behind Starlight Virtual Reality Technology Company made many people stare with wide eyes and full of shock.

When did their Academician Xu Chuan, the God of Chuan, start working on virtual reality technology?
