Great Power Technology

On the other side, Chu Ya and Zhu Xuan were carefully assembling a non-invasive BCI transmission device. Ran La Azi looked nervous. She had never seen such a device before, and she didn't know what it was used for.

Wires, helmets, displays, and clusters of messy-looking electrodes. She recalled the scenes from the science fiction movies that the teacher had shown them in school, and she had many bad associations in an instant. .

For example, brainwashing, organ trading, etc. Is it possible that after putting on the helmet, I will no longer be myself?

She subconsciously took a step back, but she happened to step on Yaoyao's foot.

"Ouch!"

"sorry Sorry!"

Azi apologized repeatedly, Yaoyao took a few breaths, waved her hands and said:

"It's okay, it's okay. It doesn't hurt too much. Sister, are you nervous?"

At this time, Yaoyao was carrying an AVS/BCI integrated device, and the database had been expanded. For security reasons, Chen Li still did not connect it to the Internet, but even so, with the support of a huge amount of data , she still shows stability and maturity far beyond her peers, and even far beyond most adults.

For example, she can easily detect the other person's emotions through micro-expressions, just like she is doing with Ran La Azhi now.

"I'm a little nervous."

Azi stammered in reply.

She didn't know the identity of the little girl standing in front of her, and she didn't know what attitude she should use to treat her.

"It doesn't matter. I was very nervous when I was doing the experiment for the first time. It'll be fine once you get used to it - and you passed the previous test, so there's no problem."

Ah Zi nodded, and then continued to ask:

"This is. What kind of experiment is this?"

"The BCI transmission experiment is to transmit information directly to your brain through neural circuits, so that you can skip the process of receiving information with your senses and speed up the transmission of information."

"Is it brainwashing?"

Ah Zi asked in shock.

Hearing her words, Zhu Xuan on the side shook his head in amusement and did not answer. Chu Ya, on the other hand, straightened up, looked at her, and said gently:

"It makes sense to say it's brainwashing. After all, when covered with a large amount of data, some people will indeed lose part of their memory. It looks like brainwashing."

"But this has not happened to us yet - and there is no way we would let it happen."

"We have strict control over the rate and capacity of information flow. We will never exceed the capacity of your brain, so don't worry."

"Besides, today's test does not involve information transmission. It is just a neural pathway test, using white noise information - just like the white noise you hear in headphones."

Hearing Chu Ya's explanation, Azi nodded convincingly. The gentle elder sister in front of her seemed to be born with the ability to make people get close to her, making her completely unable to refute.

Even if the other person said something, I actually didn’t understand a word.

After nearly ten minutes of hard work, this set of not too complicated test equipment was completed. Chu Ya was responsible for the equipment connection, Zhu Xuan was responsible for the system debugging, and Yaoyao on the side introduced the test to Ran La Azi in as much detail as possible. Things to note during the process.

"You may have a little headache at the beginning of the test. If it is not particularly serious, you can hold it in yourself. But if you feel that you are about to die, you have to tell Brother Zhu quickly and ask him to cut off the data, otherwise you may dangerous."

"When the information flow starts to pass, you may see all kinds of strange things. Don't worry, those things are all fake."

"They will tie you to this chair later. This is to prevent you from hurting yourself due to some hallucinations."

"By the way, it's best to think about some happy things during the process. After the nerve pathways are filled, your brain will spread out uncontrollably. If you think about unhappy things, then this thing will It will always be on your mind."

Ah Zi kept remembering what Yao Yao said in her mind, fearing that she would miss any step and cause the entire experiment to fail.

I heard from the person named Chen Li just now that if this experiment is successful, he can go to Yuhang with them.

Yuhang is a familiar but unfamiliar name. I have seen this name countless times in textbooks. I also know that there is the West Lake, the Leifeng Pagoda, and the legend of the White Snake and Xu Xian. But what is it like there? , but knew nothing.

"Okay, you're ready to start inputting signal anchor points."

Chu Ya's words interrupted her thinking, and Zhu Xuan on the side also cast a questioning look at her. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded lightly.

Then, a soft noise began to enter her brain. This sound was like the friction of blood flowing in the brain. It did not make her feel bored at all, but instead had a hypnotic magic.

She felt that her head was getting heavier and heavier, blood began to surge up to her brain, and the pores of her blood vessels began to expand. However, the headache that the little girl mentioned did not appear, but instead she felt a familiar sense of fullness.

She had experienced this feeling countless times while studying hard during countless days and nights. During those silent nights, she fell asleep with such a sense of fulfillment.

After a few seconds, all the chaotic thoughts in her mind suddenly disappeared, and then, an extremely familiar scene appeared in front of her.

That's a river.

There was a steel cable hanging high on the river, and she stood by the river in the cold wind, quietly looking at the thin and short girl by the river.

It's herself.

She still remembered that on this day, the teacher who supported education in the village returned to her home with her. After seeing her father's hangover, she changed her gentle behavior in school and pointed at her father's nose and scolded her. It took two hours to finally convince him to allow him to continue going to school.

When sending the teacher back, I personally helped her fasten the buckle of the ropeway, watched her land safely on the other side, and then waved goodbye to her.

But after saying goodbye, I didn't leave. Instead, just like the little girl I saw now, I stood quietly by the river, looking at the direction blocked by the mountains in the distance.

What was going on in my mind at that time?

Azi suddenly fell into a state of confusion, and fragments of memory kept flashing through her mind. She wanted to grab it, but every time she stretched out her hand, the fragments melted into her hand like ice and snow.

After watching in silence for a moment, it started to rain gradually. Azi felt that she should do something, so she walked up, patted the little girl's shoulder gently and asked:

"what are you doing here?"

Her former self obviously didn't recognize the person standing in front of her, and just answered in confusion:

"I want to go to school, but my father won't let me go to school."

"Why do you want to go to school?"

Azi continued to ask.

"I don't know. The teacher said that we should go to school. If we don't go to school, we won't learn knowledge. If we don't learn knowledge, we won't be able to change our destiny."

"But fate. Aren't all the people here like this?"

"What's it like?"

"Grow up, get married, then do housework and take care of your husband, just like grandma did."

"My grandma said that her bad life was not because she didn't go to school, but because she didn't find a good husband. She didn't object to me going to school, but she didn't want to see her husband being scolded like this."

"Then what do you want?"

Azi interrupted the girl and asked.

"Me? Myself?"

"Yes, yourself."

"I don't know."

"I want a lot of things, I want the books that the teacher brought us, I want new clothes, I want a door that won't leak air, I want a kitchen as clean as the pictures in the book - - I want to eat from my own bowl."

"There are many things I don't want. I don't want to walk so far to go to school every time. I don't want to be told that I smell. I don't want the teacher to be angry. I don't want to cross a tightrope."

"I heard that in two years, we will be building a bridge here, and by then we won't need to slide the steel cable."

"But how was the bridge erected? Who erected it? With such a big river and such a high mountain, how could the materials for building the bridge be transported in?"

"It's such a mess."

"I'd better go back. Grandma is still waiting for me to eat."

Azi grabbed the girl's shoulders, and at this moment, she suddenly recalled everything.

Yes, I was so confused at that time.

At school and at home, she faced two completely different worlds.

The teacher kept telling himself that the purpose of going to school is to study, and to study is to learn new things. Only by learning new things can we get out of this mountain and see the bigger world.

But what about at home?

No one thought it was important to go to school, and no one thought she could get out of this mountain on her own.

Yes, her mother would sew the already unthreaded schoolbag straps over and over for her in the dim light for countless nights. She would also hide the last piece of bacon and wait for her to wash it on the first night when she came back from vacation. Steam it, or in the bone-chilling winter, quietly add firewood to the brazier late at night, and then close the window that you deliberately left open.

However, she didn't understand the meaning of going to school at all, just like she didn't understand that the room couldn't be sealed when lighting a fire to keep warm in winter.

The world at home is a suffocating hut that is closed and suffocating. There is a charcoal fire in it for heating, but such a fire will only make you die in this room.

Only the cold and windy world outside the door is her way out.

Therefore, she is willing to do whatever it takes.

Even so, she may not survive the storm.

This made her feel an indescribable sadness.

However, just when she was in deep pain, her mind suddenly remembered the voice of the little girl named Yaoyao.

"You will see a lot of strange things, don't be afraid."

Yes, you shouldn't be afraid, because here, you are the master in control of everything.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously reached out her hand.

The next second, all the falling snowflakes in the sky disappeared. Then, the lead clouds were dispersed, and the sunset glowed warmly from the mountain side.

Immediately afterwards, a bridge was erected out of thin air, replacing the steel cable on the river. Azi looked at the little girl and said to her:

"Go ahead and walk over there. Everything you need is there."

The little girl glanced at her blankly, then walked onto the bridge. Ah Zi watched her go further and further away, but her figure grew taller and taller at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When she reached the other side, the little girl had suddenly transformed into herself.

And she was waving to herself from the other side.

Azi suddenly understood the meaning of all this.

Outside that hut, there was indeed a cold wind that could freeze people to death, but there were also people working hard to build bridges.

No, not myself

Ah Zi suddenly woke up from the hallucination. She opened her eyes and let the tears flow from the corners of her eyes. Then she looked at Zhu Xuan and Chu Ya who were still busy at the side and said:

"Thank you."
