Great Power Technology

"Yao Yao, we need to confirm that the channel is established now. Next, I want to ask you a few questions. You must know the answers to these questions, but don't say them out. Just think about the answers in your mind. Understand ?"

Yaoyao nodded and said nothing.

Chu Ya was stunned for a moment, then she realized what she was doing and laughed dumbly.

The other party obviously regarded this issue as part of "several questions".

She opened the manual she had prepared in her hand, and then started to ask Yaoyao questions one by one from easy to difficult.

"The first question is, what is one plus one equal to?"

"Repeat, what does one plus one equal?"

“What does one plus one equal?”

After asking, Chu Ya's eyes turned to Zhu Xuan, who stared at the screen closely. After activating the clutter filter, the increasingly strengthened answers in Yaoyao's mind finally passed the compiler's verification and appeared in the form of text. on the screen.

"One plus one equals two."

The three people present breathed a sigh of relief, but were not too excited. This was only the first step in establishing a human-machine communication channel, and only the forward channel was established, which did not mean that the experiment had been successful.

"Very well Yaoyao, I want to ask your second question next."

"What's the next sentence of Desert Guyanzhi?"

Chu Ya kept repeating her question as usual. After several repetitions, the compiler successfully output the result again.

"It's getting faster."

Zhu Xuan said softly to Chen Li.

The other party nodded and replied:

"Yao Yao adapts quickly. She is indeed very talented in this area. In terms of learning efficiency in human-computer interaction, her improvement is exponential."

"This saves us a lot of effort, but I'm afraid it won't be that easy for others."

Zhu Xuan's fingers were tapping the keyboard rapidly. He was optimizing the compiler module on the spot.

"Regardless of others, we must at least verify the usability of this technology first. Okay, let's move on to the next question."

Chu Ya on the side also saw the results on the screen. After a moment of pause, she asked:

"The third question is, imagine a character in the cartoon you have watched recently."

If the first two questions are respectively anchored in mathematics and language transmission channels, then starting from the third question, channel establishment begins to become increasingly complicated, which also takes more time.

However, Chen Li does not actually require Yaoyao to be able to restore a certain cartoon image 100%. What they have to do is to confirm that the functional area of ​​the other party's brain responsible for "imagination" is transmitting normally.

This step lasted for nearly an hour. After it was finally completed, the three finally entered the test process of reverse transmission.

The test also started with a simple question. At this time, the transmission efficiency of the communication channel on the system has reached a total reading of 400M/S, and 170M/s between networks, that is, between neurons. This means that, The rate of direct transmission through the BCI system has actually far exceeded the rate of traditional visual transmission.

After all, such a transmission process skips a large part of the visual analysis process and does not require the brain to identify and extract the target information in the visual signal.

The three of them prepared three databases in total. Their purpose this time was not to allow Yaoyao to truly "learn" the knowledge they transferred to the nervous system, but just to prove that such knowledge was indeed "transmitted to" into Yaoyao's mind.

This is a loop. The reverse transmission is performed first, and then the answer is written back in the form of a question. The process of input and output is thus established.

The amount of information transmitted to Yaoyao's brain is huge. If we interpret it according to the visual data, all the data added up is probably equivalent to Yaoyao completing the first grade of elementary school, the first grade of high school, and so on in a few tens of seconds. Everything you need to know about first year college.

"Yao Yao, do you feel normal now?"

Sitting on the chair, Yaoyao nodded slightly and said nothing.

"You can talk."

"Don't let her talk."

Before Chen Li finished speaking, Zhu Xuan immediately interrupted him.

"Now a large amount of data has occupied her language and memory centers. Theoretically, she is confused and has no language ability."

"After the circuit test is completed and the active connection test phase is entered, she can slowly recover her language ability."

"Okay, I understand. How long does the loop test take?"

"Ten minutes, this is quick."

As Zhu Xuan said, the current loop test is only a test of the nervous system pathway. Basically, it does not involve the interoperability test of human body functions and external information, so the whole process proceeds extremely quickly.

Data and visual charts flashed on the system screen, and after just a few minutes, the green light indicating the completion of the loop test finally turned on.

At this time, Yaoyao's expression on the chair finally relaxed.

In fact, the circuit test gave her a severe headache. Stimulated by high-frequency currents between nerves, her entire brain entered a state of congestion. The sudden increase in intracranial pressure made her feel abnormal dizziness, nausea and vomiting. She had a headache, which was actually dangerous, but she never said a word.

"Yao Yao, can you speak? Can you remember what you just saw?"

Yaoyao took a few quick breaths, and after finally regaining her composure, she answered:

"Uncle Chen, I can't remember that I felt a lot of things, but I can't describe what they are."

Chen Li and Zhu Xuan looked at each other, with smiles on their faces.

"This is normal, don't worry."

"The test we just did was just a round in your mind and did not actually enter the short-term memory functional area, so it's normal that you can't describe it. Wait a moment, we will start the formal test right away."

"Uncle Chen, isn't this a formal test?"

Yaoyao asked with some lingering fear.

The pain she experienced just now was indeed tremendous. If it happened again, she might not be able to hold on.

Chu Ya on the side felt her emotions keenly, so she squatted down and asked gently:

"Yao Yao, were you feeling uncomfortable just now?"

After Yaoyao hesitated for a few seconds, she finally said:

"Sister Chu, I felt a headache just now."

"headache?"

Chu Ya looked at Zhu Xuan in surprise, and the latter suddenly said:

"It should be that the information flow of the loop test is too large - this problem needs to be recorded. Yaoyao is fine. If it were another experimenter, it would probably collapse."

"Yao Yao, if you feel uncomfortable in the future, please tell us immediately, do you understand?"

Yaoyao nodded, and after Chen Li emphasized again and again, the interactive experiment was finally launched.

The flow of information flows slowly and steadily between neural circuits, maintaining a minimum level of interactive activity between the BCI system and the human brain.

Then, the compiler's search module was opened. Chu Ya took a deep breath and asked:

"Yao Yao, what is the mass of the earth in kilograms? Give me an accurate answer."

Yaoyao on the chair was obviously stunned for a moment. This was a field of knowledge that she had never been exposed to before, and she had never seen this information before in her memory.

The mass of the earth? kilogram?

She opened her mouth blankly and was about to answer "I don't know" when the electrical signal composed of neural activity was input to the compiler. Then, within a millionth of a second, the compiler converted the signal into executable instructions. Trusted translations of similar signals were searched from a huge database.

After multiple steps such as noise removal, logic verification, and language school verification by the artificial intelligence module, this information appears in the form of keywords in the database that stores knowledge.

"What is the mass of the Earth in kilograms?"

"Answer: 5.9723710^24 kilograms."

"Answer: About 66 trillion tons."

"Answer: About 60 trillion tons."

Multiple corresponding answers in the database were instantly written back to the pre-association area in Yaoyao's brain, which is responsible for short-term memory. A series of neural activities that were actually extremely simple and beautiful were completed. Yaoyao suddenly discovered that she knew the answer to this question.

“5.97237 times 10 times 24—no, it’s 5.97237 times 10 times 24 kilograms.”

This was an extremely interesting process. At the very beginning, she got the answer to the Earth’s mass in kilograms, but as she had not yet finished elementary school, she didn’t know how to pronounce that string of numbers, so the neural pathways sent back the message again. received her retrieval signal.

She learned that the symbol is called the power symbol and also knew the definition of power.

Then, the logic of power operations began to be transmitted into her mind, and it became more and more divergent.

From powers, to square roots, to a series of subsequent concepts that she had heard or not heard before, the transmission efficiency of the neural pathways once again reached the peak, but under the efficiency constraints of active retrieval, the brain's self-protection mechanism succeeded The speed of information transmission is controlled below a safe value.

Pieces of knowledge puzzle pieces formed from the void, and then lit up in their respective positions, like constellations in the infinite deep sky.

At this moment, Yaoyao suddenly felt something:

The true face of the entire world unfolded in front of her.

Chu Ya on the side was still asking questions, but she didn't answer.

After a long time, she suddenly looked into Chu Ya's eyes, and then said:

"Sister Chu, I understand."

"What do you know?"

Chu Ya asked in surprise.

"Everything, I know everything."
