Great Power Technology

The next day, Yang Yijin took Yaoyao and their guardian to the BCI Research Institute of Zhejiang University, and then guided his Aunt Liu like a little adult to sign the experimental consent form. After a series of preparations, , the first AVS experiment in the country and even the world was officially launched.

Ye Zhou stood outside the laboratory, looking slightly nervously through the glass wall of the laboratory at the people who were connecting external electrodes to Yaoyao's brain.

This is not an easy task. Although the AES technology that has directly reached its final form does not require craniotomy, due to the shortcomings of the current process, the electrodes still need to be buried under the skin - without anesthesia, The experimenter's pain was quite obvious.

But Yaoyao didn't struggle at all on the chair. She just sat there quietly, grabbing the armrests of the chair with her fingers, and subconsciously opened her empty eyes that had had their eyeballs removed.

"Does it hurt?"

Chu Ya, who was standing aside and responsible for the electrode implantation, asked.

"No pain."

"It's okay, just say it when it hurts. It's just like a small needle prick. I'll be gentler and it won't hurt so much."

Hearing Yaoyao's pretending to be strong, Chu Ya touched her forehead with her hand distressedly and said.

"Auntie, it really doesn't hurt."

"As long as it doesn't hurt, Yaoyao, remember to call her sister from now on. Girls like to be called young, you know?"

"I know, Sister Chu."

"So good, you still remember me. Then do you remember the other two brothers?"

"I remember Uncle Chen."

While chatting with Yaoyao to distract her, Chu Ya quickly connected the last electrode. Then, she raised her hand to turn on the power of the high-precision camera, closed the nerve signal path, and nodded to Chen Li beside her. Preparations are complete.

On the other side, Zhu Xuan has completed the final sampling and preparation of the neural signal set. As long as Chen Li nods, the compiler will immediately start working, converting the signals received by the four cameras responsible for color, light and shade, depth of field and shape. It is converted into electrical signals and input into the electrodes on Yaoyao's head.

Chen Li placed a series of props that he had prepared long ago next to the black background that the camera was aimed at. Then he looked at Ye Zhou outside the glass. Ye Zhou took a deep breath and raised his hand to gesture OK. gesture.

The next moment, Chen Li issued the instruction to start the experiment, Zhu Xuan hit the Enter key, the compiler started working, continuous electrical signals began to be input into the neural electrodes, and Yaoyao's expression immediately changed.

"Yao Yao, how do you feel now? Can you see the light in front of you?"

The first batch of input neural signals is the simplest so-called "background signal". From the perspective of the subjects, what appears in front of them should be a white void background that is different from the blind state.

This link has actually been tested on Yaoyao many times, and the results every time are extremely stable.

"I can see it, uncle, it's the same as last time."

Chen Li nodded slightly, and then signaled Chen Li to start collecting the electrical signals collected by the camera. After a short period of screening and classification, a large number of redundant signals were eliminated, and the real-time images of the camera began to be transmitted to Yaoyao's brain through neural connections. .

"What now? What did you see?"

".Black, so black, so black"

Hearing this, both Chen Li inside the laboratory and Ye Zhou outside the laboratory showed happy smiles on their faces.

Ye Zhou has personally experienced the perspective of a blind person in a simulator, so he knows very well that a truly blind person does not have the concept of "black" and thinks that what they "see" in front of them is actually a gray void.

And Yaoyao can accurately say black, which proves that the camera data has been successfully transmitted through the neural connection, and she also relies on such visual signals to connect the current content with the "" she established two years ago. The concept of "color" is connected.

This was a huge breakthrough, and it also made Ye Zhou more convinced of Chen Li's view that "Yao Yao is the best choice as an experimenter."

Even for myself, it took a long time to truly recover the memory of colors when I received AVS treatment for the first time.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief.

This is a very good sign. If Yaoyao can quickly adapt to external signals, it will prove that her error correction ability of signals is indeed better than her expectation, and the hallucination problem she was originally worried about will probably not occur.

Looking at several people in the laboratory who were busy using various model props to input different signals to the camera, Ye Zhou spoke to Yang Yijin beside him:

"Yao Yao's condition is very good. She is a little more optimistic than I expected. You don't need to worry too much."

At this time, the tone he spoke to Yang Yijin was exactly like an adult speaking to an adult, and the other person's answer was as calm as he expected.

"I know. The experiment can be terminated. If there is a problem, the doctor will definitely be the first to find it."

"Do you trust them that much?"

Ye Zhou asked curiously.

"I believe in science, and I have watched several previous tests. I feel it is quite magical. Making a blind person see things, this technology should not be as simple as what we see now."

"I used to love reading science fiction novels and movies like Player Zero and Uncle Ye. We will also have this kind of technology in the future, right?"

Hearing his words, Ye Zhou smiled and replied:

"There will be this kind of technology, but it probably won't be used in this area first. There are so many things that AVS technology can do. When you go to college, you can also choose the direction of neuromedicine. Then you can personally expand this The boundaries of technology.”

"However, it seems that Yaoyao is one step ahead of you now. She is the first experimenter of AVS technology in the world. No matter what, at the moment when today's experiment begins, her name has already been written In history.”

Yang Yijin shook his head slightly and replied:

"I actually didn't think about it that much. I just wanted her to be able to see things."

"——Isn't it a bit selfish to say that? I see other scientists saying that they want to dedicate themselves to science. But that's right. I don't have the right to make decisions for her. I let her participate in the experiment. In fact, It’s already quite selfish.”

"You are doing it for her own good, this is different."

"No, Uncle Ye. What our generation hates the most is the expression 'for your own good'. I used to often quarrel with my parents over this matter, but now."

Yang Yijin did not continue. Ye Zhou sighed and turned his attention to the people in the laboratory again.

Judging from the props used by Chen Li, the experiment at this time had already progressed to the realm of "light and dark". This progress was much faster than Ye Zhou expected, and several people in the laboratory also had expressions on their faces. An unconcealable smile.

"It seems to be going pretty well."

Ye Zhou turned his head and glanced at Yang Yijin, but the other person's expression was not as relaxed as he thought.

"Something's wrong!"

Yang Yijin said.

"What's wrong?"

"Yao Yao is feeling very uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhou felt a cold air suddenly rise from his back, and even the hairs on his arms exploded.

He ignored the people who were still operating and directly opened the communicator and shouted:

"Terminate the experiment and cut off the power!"

Chen Li turned his head in surprise. His position at this time did not allow him to do any operations, but Zhu Xuan in front of the operating table obviously knew who was the real experimental conductor. The moment he heard Ye Zhou's voice, he His finger directly pressed the ESC key in the upper left corner, and the forced termination command was immediately activated, and all nerve signal data was immediately cut off.

Just a few seconds later, Zhu Xuan stared blankly at the data beating crazily on the computer screen, and turned his head to Ye Zhou who gave the order.

Just now, a catastrophic data error occurred in the compiler. If the instructions issued by Ye Zhou were delayed for a few seconds, these huge chaotic data would probably overwhelm Yaoyao's entire nervous system.

Chu Ya on the side nervously held Yaoyao's hand, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was fine with her.

Ye Zhou, who was outside the laboratory, patted Yang Yijin's shoulder comfortingly and said to him:

"It's okay. The experiment was terminated in time and it did not affect Yaoyao."

"None of us expected this problem, but I already know where the problem lies."

Ye Zhou took a deep breath. After the sudden accident just now, he finally figured out the principle of AES technology affecting the personal nervous system, and also figured out that in the simulation ending, those "newcomers" are no longer "people" s reason.

In fact, the answer is not the AVS technology itself at all, but hidden in neurology textbooks.

Just like the phenomenon of backward viewing, the self-correction ability of the nervous system is the root of everything!
