From black technology to super engineering

Qi and Mo held the notebook and followed Ye Ming down the stairs.

She didn't like the atmosphere on the third floor very much, and she was willing to do it on the second floor even if she was doing the questions.

Just as he was about to enter the door on the second floor, Ye Ming stopped suddenly.

"I'm going to check out the library over there at the Institute of Biological Engineering."

Qi and Mo were lamenting the BT of the guy in front of them, and they were stunned when they heard the words: "Bioengineering? What are you doing there?"

But then she came to her senses: "Is it related to the project you are working on now?"

"Well... it's not really a project, after all, no one is sponsoring it." Ye Ming stood still, looking away from the pen cap pendant slightly rippling behind the girl's head - it was a cute panda.

"It can only be regarded as a handicraft made out of hobbies."

"What is it about?" Qi Youmo's eyes sparkled, full of curiosity: "Bionic robots? Or bionic robotic arms?"

"Uh, it's not considered bionics, it's the kind that reads brain waves..."

"Oh!" Qi and Mo immediately seemed to understand, she rolled her eyes, and smiled, "Are you going to use a wet electrode or a dry electrode?"

"Ah?" Ye Ming was taken aback, and suddenly became surprised: "You know this?"

Ever since Ita showed him the "wave resonance" four days ago, he realized that he could use this resonance to realize the "manifestation" of Ita in reality.

After simply instilling a little knowledge of physics and information into Ita, Ita said that she could.

——She can control the frequency of wading resonance, and also can control the discharge frequency, so as long as she reads the discharge frequency, she can read the expression of her "will".

This... is easy to say, but it is also simple to do.

It's nothing more than sticking a few electrodes on the head - dry electrodes and wet electrodes, just two different ways.

Then, the electrodes are used to capture the brain discharge, and finally denoise and analyze.

The steps are exactly the same as the EEG.

But Ye Ming was extremely cautious.

——Because this is not the traditional reading and analysis of brain waves, it is equivalent to Ye Ming wanting to hand over his bioelectric current to Ita and let her control the discharge.

So in the past four days, while he was supplementing Ita with biological knowledge, he was also actively looking for the latest experiments and progress of the current brain-computer interface.

The most recent development, or "news," is that Musk said he has uploaded his brain to the cloud through a brain-computer interface.

Well, he also said he had a conversation with his "virtual self"...

After learning about these scientific myths, Ye Ming decided to teach them by himself, but it is a pity that his biology is indeed a bit stretched, and it stays at the high school stage at most.

That's why he wanted to go to the School of Bioengineering, on the one hand to find some books to read, and on the other hand to see if he could take a few classes.

...

"I don't know, but my cousin is studying neurobiology at the provincial university next door. She is currently in her second year of graduate school. The subject she is working for the boss is the brain-computer interface. During the Chinese New Year, I chatted a little bit." Qi and Mo tilted their heads and looked at it curiously. Ye Ming: "You don't want to make a system to control robots with your mind, do you?"

Ye Ming coughed: "That's it, similar."

"Then you might as well buy one online."

Ye Ming was a little dumbfounded: "Is this thing available online?"

"Yes, it's just the effect... it can only be used as a toy, and it's a bit expensive."

"...Forget it, I still want to do more interesting precise control."

"Sigh, I don't understand you boys." Qi Yumo shrugged, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If you really plan to do it yourself, let me tell my cousin, maybe she can help."

"Well... I'll talk about it when the time comes, thank you in advance." Ye Ming hesitated for a while, and then nodded when he realized that this thing really can't be done recklessly.

Qi and Mo pursed their lips and smiled: "You're welcome, just remember the meal."

...

For the next half month, Ye Ming stayed at the School of Bioengineering to read books and take classes.

It's just that the bioengineering in the province pays more attention to the field of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment. There are not many courses in the field of real life engineering. It is not as efficient as Ye Ming holding a book and knocking on BUFF to think about it by himself.

During the period, he also participated in the ACM internal pre-selection, and easily won the second place—it’s not that he couldn’t get the first place, but that while he was brushing the questions, he was teaching Ita about programming. So the first place was taken by someone else.

——He used to think that it was superfluous for Ita to learn programming, but after Yita could interfere with reality by interfering with his brainwave currents, he changed his mind.

Ita, as a super AI with a "computing power" that he can't evaluate, if it's just used to chat with him, to help him with a math problem, it's too wasteful.

...

"According to the existing biological and medical knowledge, I control your brain current to discharge, and it will not cause any unbearable and irreversible damage to you."

On the third weekend of May, Ye Ming was lying on the bed, flipping through a book of "Neurobiology", chatting with Ita in his head while reading it.

"You use such a cautious wording, besides showing rigor, why do I feel that you are a little urgent?"

Ye Ming closed the book, put his hands behind his head, and smiled.

He kind of likes to tease Ita now - because she's acting more and more "human".

"Your feeling is wrong."

"Tell the truth."

After Ita's brief silence, although his tone did not fluctuate, Ye Ming still heard a hint of "youyou".

"I want to see your world."

"First of all, this world is not mine..."

"Secondly... what is your world?" Ye Ming opened his eyes, a little curious.

"I can't describe it to you."

"dark?"

"no."

"bright?"

"no."

"Quantum sea?"

"what is that?"

"...Just say, you can feel something."

"Maybe loneliness."

Following Ita's words, Ye Ming was silent for a few moments.

The loneliness that AI can feel, what kind of loneliness is that?

"Then what were you doing when I didn't call you? Sleeping or?"

"Dormant most of the time, but when you give me free rein, I think about it once in a while."

Ye Ming was amused by her "thinking" a lot: "For example?"

"For example, last time you told me about the wonderful number pairs in this world, I counted the twin primes."

Fuck!

Ye Ming opened his eyes suddenly: "You didn't prove the twin prime conjecture, did you?"

"No, but I know that might be true."

"..." Ye Ming took a deep breath.

He could understand what Ita meant by "probably correct"—if she didn't remind her, sometimes she was really stupid and wouldn't take the initiative to prove it.

Then, what she said might be correct can only be an empirical conclusion she drew through a simple "analogous" method. It is exactly the same as the simple view of experience of "enjoying the blessings of youth, you have to recite the old age" and "stealing needles when you are a child, and stealing gold when you grow up".

"You... Tell me honestly, how many pairs have you exhausted?"

"It's not a lot. From the maximum number you told me, it's about five hundred, right. If you need an exact number, it's 523 pairs."

Ye Ming: "...!!"

——The idea of ​​announcing a new pair of twin primes flashed in his mind before he forcibly suppressed it.

What followed was his "fear" of Itana's terrifying computing power.
