Great Power Technology

"So, your final suggestion is to refuse the deal with them?"

Chen Hao sat opposite Ye Zhou, dragging the progress bar on the PAD with his hand, and listened to the key information points of the previous conversation with Jace again and again.

"Yes. I personally think that although their plan sounds credible, overall the execution risk is relatively high. If it fails, it is likely to involve us."

"By then, not only will we be unable to achieve our goal of deterring ugly countries, we may also further lose our existing status - in such an international confrontation, the consequences of losing the moral high ground are terrible."

"By manipulating internationally recognized radical organizations to launch nuclear-related attacks in other countries, even if we say something outrageous, there is no way to reverse the public's inherent impression."

"Once this happens, our image is likely to change from 'victim' to 'perpetrator,' and our strength is not strong enough to support such a status change - which will cause a lot of trouble."

After a pause, Ye Zhou continued:

"Another point is that what they want is so important that it can even be said to be the key to the future. If it is used in the wrong place, the consequences will be disastrous."

"What kind of bullshit consciousness upload...they just want to be ostriches, and they are not good at being ostriches."

"Maintaining the operation of large-scale computer systems also requires energy. If everyone is uploaded, who will perform daily maintenance?"

"So forget it. We still have time now. After the Golden Crow takes off for the first time, our deterrence can basically continue."

After hearing Ye Zhou's words, Chen Hao frowned slightly and said:

"The problem now is that it will take a long time from the first flight of the Golden Crow to the formation of combat effectiveness - at least two to three years. How will we spend this time?"

"You should ask experts in the situation field about this question. However, at least according to past experience, the establishment of deterrence does not only occur after the combat effectiveness is formed - in theory, this is not a question of 'will it work'? It’s a question of ‘is there any’.”

Chen Hao nodded and replied:

"Okay, I will convey the suggestions to my superiors. What is the progress on the Golden Crow side so far?"

Ye Zhou handed Chen Hao a report and then replied:

"The engine hoisting has been completed, and the final test of the avionics system is currently being carried out. Once all the avionics and flight control problems are solved, it will basically be ready to fly."

"How long is it expected to take?"

"It could be as fast as one month, or as slow as three months. It's hard to say. I estimate that based on the current progress, the first ignition of nuclear fusion should occur before the first flight of the Golden Crow."

"Of course, it is also possible that it will happen at the same time - it is estimated that our news will explode in the next period of time."

Chen Hao smiled and said:

"In the past few years, we have had big news every now and then. Now everyone has become accustomed to starting from the initial chip, to aviation, to C969, to H20, 003, nuclear fusion, and Golden Crow. In total, it takes five years. , we have done a lot of things.”

"It is indeed quite a lot. However, it is not enough. We can still do more."

After Ye Zhou made the final decision, Chen Li's BCI project team also received the notification immediately, and he was very satisfied with the result:

There is no need to write a report, someone has already made the decision for him.

He happily informed Zhu Xuan and Chu Ya of the news, wanting them to quickly throw away the unfinished report, but when he found them, he discovered that they had not written it at all.

"You guys are really prophets. Do you really believe that the higher ups won't reach an exchange with them?"

"Hey, I'm not so sure - I just think that if we are really that anxious anyway, the task given to us must not be such a light task with no specific direction. It doesn't matter if we put it off for a while. "

After hearing Zhu Xuan's answer, Chen Li smiled helplessly and turned to ask:

"Is the compiler algorithm ready? If you can, we can start the test today - Yaoyao is already here."

"How is her recovery from surgery?"

Chu Ya asked from the side.

"There is nothing to recover from. It was minimally invasive and the electric shock was used. After two days of rest, it is completely healed."

"That's good. I was worried that the operation would not go well - will there be any rejection of the new material?"

Chen Li shook his head and replied:

"No, everything is normal. This material should not have any rejection reaction in the first place, and it has been widely used in medicine."

"The only question now is stability. If the transmission efficiency does not drop significantly within two years, then the system can adopt this solution."

Several people discussed all aspects of pre-problems in BCI transmission technology for several minutes, and after confirming that nothing was missed, they walked out of the office and came to the experimental waiting area.

And there, Yang Yijin has been waiting with Yang Yiyao for a long time.

The AVS system on Yaoyao's head has been streamlined a lot after being transformed again and again. It was originally a giant helmet, and now it has become a lightweight hat. Chuya also thoughtfully found a supplier to customize the helmet. Surrounded by decoration, the device was made into the style of a cartoon bunny ear hat, and paired with decorative prosthetic eyes, Yaoyao now looked no different from a normal girl.

Seeing the three people approaching, Yaoyao happily stood up and took Chu Ya's hand. Among the three people in the project team, she had the closest relationship with Chu Ya and had the most communication.

"Sister Chu!"

Chu Ya pinched her face, then said with a smile:

"Yao Yao, are you ready? I asked you to sleep well yesterday. How many hours did you sleep?"

"Sleep. I went to bed at nine o'clock yesterday and only got up at 10 o'clock this morning. Sister, I am in good spirits now!"

In the previous experiment with the AVS system, she had realized that her mental state would have different effects on the experiment, so every time Chu Ya reminded her to take a rest, she would do it to the letter, and this time of course it was not the same. exception.

While talking, Chu Ya took her into the laboratory. Yaoyao sat down on the chair skillfully and wanted to connect the experimental lines by herself. Chu Ya quickly stopped her.

"Yao Yao, don't move yet. This experiment is different from the previous one. Let your Uncle Zhu come and connect it for you."

"Oh, I know."

After hearing Chu Ya's words, Yaoyao sat on the chair obediently and waited quietly for Zhu Xuan to connect the wires one by one.

After all preparations were completed, Zhu Xuanxian and Chen Li nodded. The system was powered on and readings of neural activity gradually began to appear on the screen.

The brain doctor responsible for professional guidance began to show Yaoyao targeted pictures and ask questions, guiding her brain activity to enter the appropriate intensity range, while Chen Li watched the system readings closely. After the final value entered the predetermined range, , he nodded to Zhu Xuan on the side.

The experiment officially started. Zhu Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief and tapped the Enter key. The data link was officially established.

At this moment, no one present felt that they had opened the door that represented the future.

Perhaps only decades later, when future generations look back on this period of scientific development, they will discover how significant this series of simple actions was.
