Great Power Technology

Azi took out the only two stools from the house and looked at the people in front of her with some embarrassment. She didn't know who to give the stool to for a moment.

She couldn't understand the strange combination of this team at all, because in this team of seven people, there were men, women, middle-aged people, children, Chinese, and foreigners.

The ingredients were complex—except for one who was obviously a guide, everyone else had an aura about them that both frightened and fascinated her.

Especially the little girl, who was wearing a strange hat on her head. When she looked at him, Azi could clearly feel that her eyes were not actually moving - it seemed that she was just pretending to look. In fact, he doesn't care about a child from the mountains like him.

While she was hesitating, the tallest foreigner in the team had already stepped forward and snatched the stool from her hand, then sat on it and gasped:

"Take a break, will it hurt you?"

Jess watched this scene helplessly, then took out the translator he bought in Chengdu from his pocket and said in English:

"Please forgive my friend for being rude. He means no harm. Could you please get a few more stools? Do you need my help?"

The translator made a mechanical sound, but at least it was understandable to Ah Zi.

She shook her head and replied:

"No more, these are the last two--just wait for me, I'll borrow them from the house next door."

"Forget it, no need!"

Chen Li, who had been silent in the team, quickly stopped her and then continued:

"It doesn't matter, we only need a short time. Ran La A Zi - is that your name?"

"Yes, you can call me Azi."

Azi replied nervously.

"Okay, Azi, do you remember that you filled out a test question half a month ago? The name of the test question was 'BCI Neural Compatibility Preliminary Test'?"

Hearing this, Azi was stunned for a moment, and then replied:

"Yes, I remember. Any questions?"

The memory of filling in the test questions flashed through her mind. She still remembered asking her teacher what the test questions were for, but her teacher couldn't explain at all and only told her that she was the leader of the Education Bureau. It is distributed to all middle and high school students to fill out.

The topic was full of weird questions that had no connection with the knowledge they learned every day. Many students gave up halfway through, but Azi completed them all with great interest.

Compared with those students who gave up halfway, she did not feel any difficulty from the test questions. On the contrary, she found the questions very interesting.

Is this some kind of competition?

Just like the Mathematical Olympiad that I have heard of before?

Did you win the award?

She suddenly felt a surge of anxiety and surprise. The girl just said, "You don't need school anymore." Did she mean that she could go to a better place to go to school?

No, even if that's not the case, as long as you can learn, that's enough.

Seeing Azi's expression, Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief.

These more than five hours of walking on the mountain road were indeed in vain, and we finally found the most remote experimental subject.

"Okay, just make sure it's you. Next, we will conduct a simple test on you. After the test is completed, if you pass, you will have to go to Yuhang with us for an in-depth test."

"Is this your mother? Auntie, do you agree with Azi to participate in the test?"

The mother on the side had already been frightened by the posture of the group. She was speechless for a long time without saying a word. Azi quickly stepped forward and said:

"I can make my own decisions! Does it cost money?"

Chen Li was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, he had already figured out the joints.

Here, when facing these potential experimental subjects, I should leave the choice to them themselves - because most of their parents cannot bear the responsibilities of parents.

Thinking of this, he nodded first, then shook his head and replied:

"You can make your own decision, it doesn't cost you anything, we'll cover all the costs."

"By the way, we are the BCI project team of Zhejiang University and are affiliated to the National General Technical Office. Xuan'er, please bring out your ID."

On the side, Zhu Xuan struggled to take out his ID card from his mountaineering bag, along with a lot of messy components, which were all components of the BCI equipment that needed to be used in this test.

After seeing the certificate, Azi decisively signed her name on the agreement. Then, Zhu Xuan and Chu Ya started to build equipment directly in the open space outside the house.

They made a tacit agreement not to open the door behind Ah Zi, because they could all see that Ah Zi was deeply wary and resistant to what was behind that door.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to set up the equipment, Jess began to wander around curiously near Azi's house. He was shocked by the magnificent sunset view of the mountains, and at the same time lamented the poverty of this land.

He has traveled all over the world and has seen all kinds of poor people. Logically speaking, he should have no more feelings about the concept of "poverty", but when he saw Ah Zi's eyes, he I suddenly felt that all my previous perceptions had been overturned.

In his original understanding, no matter what factors caused poverty, the poor at the bottom should be stupid, numb, and desperate. They should have already lost all enthusiasm for life and succumbed to the status quo that is difficult to change. .

But this girl was different. When he looked into her eyes, he felt that he clearly saw a ball of fire.

A fire that struggled in agony but still burned.

Chen Li noticed his movements, so he walked forward and asked:

"How about it? Do you have a different feeling when you come to this place in person?"

Jace turned around and pointed to the platform near the cliff, then walked over there and said:

"It does feel different. I can probably understand why you must do this kind of technology."

"However, I always feel that, as I told you before, BCI transmission technology is not the final solution."

Hearing this, Chen Li smiled teasingly and asked:

"Why, you don't even pretend now? Have you admitted that you sent those reports?"

Jace nodded calmly and replied:

"Actually, there is nothing to pretend. I can be very honest on this point, because Hermes is different from those Western politicians. The purpose of our actions is really just to get an answer, not to suppress your development."

"Believe me, we all want to save the world just like you, we just choose different paths."

"Maybe we are right, maybe you are right, it doesn't matter. What is important is that we must discuss and verify."

"Understood."

Chen Li nodded slightly and did not continue to explain.

Jace also realized that the other party did not want to argue with him about right and wrong, so he skipped the topic and asked instead:

"So who compiled the test questions you had before? Can they really be used to screen experimenters?"

"Yao Yao and Zhu Xuan compiled it together - so far, the results are good. 80% of those who scored high in that test question passed the second test of the non-intrusive BCI system. According to our previous experiments Judging from the data, about 30% of people should eventually pass the final test of the full SCOPE brain-computer test."

"It's indeed good data. But the screening efficiency is still a little low."

"certainly."

Chen Li nodded and answered without hesitation.

"However, non-invasive BCI equipment will continue to develop, and its accuracy and efficiency will continue to improve. Maybe one day in the future, it will be able to fully achieve the effects of invasive equipment?"

"At that time, the last hurdle caused by nerve contact surgery will be cleared, and we can put BCI devices into everyone's hands."

Jace frowned slightly, stared at the setting sun in the distance, sighed and said:

"But, what is the use of so many BCI devices? As I said, the future of mankind needs geniuses to open it. You admit this, right?"

"Those profound problems cannot be solved by mastering old knowledge. They require extremely strong thinking and logical abilities. There may be only one or two such geniuses among hundreds of millions of people. For these geniuses, That said, they don’t need the assistance of BCI equipment at all.”

"In the words of you Chinese people, isn't this taking off your pants and farting?"

Chen Li smiled and replied:

"Very good. You have learned to use Chinese proverbs. I am very satisfied."

"Before I answer your question, I have to ask you a question first."

"Mr. Jess, do you think you are a genius?"

Jace shook his head and replied:

"Of course I'm not a genius, but I'm definitely a little smarter than ordinary people - my academic scores are pretty good, and I got into a prestigious school on my own. You know, this is not easy in Europe."

"It's not easy. Second question, Jess, what are your family conditions like?"

“Average, not superior, but slightly above average.”

"It seems that you have a clear positioning of yourself and your family. So the third question, Jess, has the education you received since childhood been richer and superior compared to others?"

"No. My parents are small businessmen, and their education level is not high - they don't pay much attention to education."

"Understood. So the last question, Jess, do you think it's possible that you are a genius who has been buried, or a fool whose achievements have been elevated by your family environment?"

Hearing Chen Li's words, Jace subconsciously wanted to refute, but just for a moment, his expression suddenly changed dramatically.

He looked at Chen Li's face with shock on his face, looking at his half-smiling expression, and then the muscles all over his body began to tighten uncontrollably.

His hair stood on end, as if he had received a rare shock in his life.

At this moment, he finally fully understood the nature of this technology, and also understood China's motivation for sparing no effort to support the development of this technology.

Yes.

BCI transmission technology will never allow a fool to solve problems that require infinite ingenuity, nor can it turn a fool into a genius.

But what if one of the few sentences I just said was wrong?

"There may be one or two such geniuses among hundreds of millions of people."

It is possible that among hundreds of millions of people, there will be ten or even a hundred such geniuses.

And these geniuses, they have all been buried.

Buried by backward educational resources, poor social environment, and extremely difficult family conditions like Ran La Azhi!

As for BCI transmission technology, the functions it undertakes are definitely not as simple as I thought before.

This technology is a network.

A desperate net that covers the entire land of China, and even the entire world!

And what it will pick up will be countless geniuses!
