Darkness is Coming

  Compared to the chaos and order in the Southern Capital battlefield, the battle in Shangjing had only absolute rationality and order. Under the command of Liu Yuanzhou, the various troops were like precise mechanical gears meshing with each other, precise, ruthless, and monotonous repetition. Soldiers really get a sense of what it's really like to be a mindless killing machine.

   Unlike Nandu, who created many heroic images, Shangjing only raised one dazzling star: Qi Lie in the battle against the magic tide.

This violent middle-aged man used to be a boxer in an underground boxing ring. Even though his brother and father had enough wealth to squander, they chose such a dangerous profession for only one reason: Qi Lie was eager to fight, preferably a vigorous fight. , and the audience needs to be large enough that the cheers can be deafening.

Now that Qi Lie has enough audiences, thousands of Beijing residents are fortunate enough to witness his heroic appearance, but unfortunately everyone is too shocked and dumbfounded, Qi Lie can only regard the continuous gunfire as his applause- - Now, his fans are not only the soldiers of the original 258 brigade, but also many people in the troops of the Shangjing Military Region who participated in the battle were conquered by the strong name of "Liuhuo God of War".

   This title is domineering enough, and it is in line with Qi Lie's rough temper and aesthetics. Although my nephew Qi Xinwu shook his head, Qi Lie was very satisfied.

Qi Xinwu's role in this battle was no less than Qi Lie's. Although as a non-combatant, Qi Xinwu's actual number of kills was far less than that of his uncle Qi Lie, this does not deny what he did on the Shangjing battlefield. Contribution and Qi Xinwu's detection ability have reduced a large number of casualties for the street fighting troops. After the end, a medal with a high gold content will not be able to escape.

   But Qi Xinwu knew in his heart that it was not him who really reduced the overall casualty rate, but Liu Yuanzhou at the headquarters.

Regarding the concept of the joint headquarters of the Southern Metropolis, Qi Xinwu has a certain understanding. Through a large amount of real-time data analysis and processing, the optimal solution is calculated for specific problems. This is difficult to achieve in a war against humans, but it is used to deal with monsters. But a very good idea.

The defense forces in Shangjing also adopted this tactic. The only difference was that there was no joint headquarters in Shangjing. Because there was no need, Liu Yuanzhou could replace the entire joint headquarters alone. In other words, Liu Yuanzhou, authorized by the chairman, was the joint headquarters of Shangjing Command.

   This is not a simple metaphor. In order to realize this experimental operation, the country has mobilized the rich resources of the poorest individual imagination.

Taking the brain of an ordinary person as a reference, the output efficiency is far from the input efficiency. The visual and thinking system allows humans to quickly obtain a large amount of information, but the efficiency of relying on the vocal cords or fingers to transmit information is less than 1%. On Liu Yuanzhou, a special individual, this gap will be magnified tens of thousands of times or more.

This problem has already been reflected in Yuanjiang’s battle against corpses. The speed of Liu Yuanzhou’s orders has not kept up with the speed of his thinking. If Liu Yuanzhou and the troops he commanded are compared to the brain and limbs, then there is a fatal problem on both sides. : Neurons transmit so slowly that body movements can't keep up with the brain's responses.

   In order to solve the problem of low information output efficiency, the Shangjing theater applied the brain control technology in the experimental stage to actual combat for the first time.

  Since the brain electrical activity was discovered by Richard Caton in 1875, the "brain control" technology based on computer technology has become a cutting-edge technology in the field of brain science and cognitive science for hundreds of years. On the basis of the acquisition and processing of brain neurobiological signals and efficient human-machine collaboration, the brain-computer interface is used to detect the continuous potential changes generated in the brain during human thinking activities, and the micro-sensors are used to capture the waveforms and convert them into corresponding operating signals , the interactive transmission between the human brain and the computer can be realized.

Despite the rapid development of computer technology in recent decades, the core technology that truly realizes "brain control" technology—precise measurement, feature extraction, pattern recognition and drive control of the electrical signals of human brain thinking activities—is still at the bottleneck stage. It is too late to break through. Even if researchers hold a world-class supercomputer, it is not enough to identify and simulate the thinking operation of the human brain. After all, the human brain has billions of neurons, and the bioelectric signals of conscious thinking formed are almost endless. .

In short, the existing computer technology cannot directly read the meticulous thinking of the human brain through brain waves, and it is still difficult to accurately interpret the meaning represented by the neural signals of the human brain. The cost of implementing this technology is too high. The returns are minimal.

   So Qiu Zhe and Liu Yuanzhou jointly proposed a plan: implant electrodes into Liu Yuanzhou's brain in a relatively safe and minimally invasive way, abandoning the detailed interpretation of specific thinking, and turning to a stupid but effective exhaustive method.

For example, when Liu Yuanzhou sees a screen that shows that a certain team is performing a combat mission at a certain location, then Liu Yuanzhou will analyze and make a judgment in milliseconds, and then issue an order with his mind, and the computer will not record it. It does not deal with Liu Yuanzhou's analysis process, and only records the violent brain wave changes when Liu Yuanzhou gave orders at the last moment, corresponding to different orders from specific waveforms.

   Persevere, or give up. advance, or retreat. Left or right.

  Computers are good at processing the language of 0 and 1, while humans are good at extracting the effective information they need from complex information, so the command headquarters has become a weird information processing center.

Liu Yuanzhou was wearing a prototype of a mind-sensing device, running his brain at the maximum frequency, and became the core of the entire command by himself. From the macro order of the overall battle situation to the position transfer of a certain team, every order was directly issued by Liu Yuanzhou. .

The other members of the headquarters are divided into two systems according to their functions. The first system is responsible for debugging the machine, information input and feedback, and the second system is responsible for thinking and analyzing Liu Yuanzhou from the radio wave graphics generated by the area screen they are responsible for. order and pass it on to specific units.

In a battlefield with a scale of 100 people, the efficiency of this mode is not even as efficient as Liu Yuanzhou's direct radio command, but in a battlefield with a scale of 10,000 people, the efficiency of this mode is much higher than the latter, because the output efficiency of language has a Unbreakable limits.

   Now that this limit has been broken, this experimental operation has achieved an unsatisfactory but gratifying result, and the effort is far greater than the return, but this breakthrough has knocked on a door full of infinite possibilities.

  From the moment Liu Yuanzhou unloaded his mind-sensing device and entered the emergency room, he and Qiu Zhe became the two most irreplaceable individuals in Huaxia. At the same time, the awakened people with brain domain-related abilities were of far greater importance than their peers.
