Great Power Technology

After arriving in Yuhang, Chen Li arranged for all participants in the experiment to rest in the hotel for one night. The next day, the full-time staff of the BCI laboratory arranged for them to take them to purchase daily necessities. It was originally expected to be completed in one day, but he was asked Unexpectedly, the purchasing process actually lasted two full days.

The reason is also very simple, there are too many things to purchase.

Most of these children from remote areas generally have extremely poor family conditions. Some of them can't even find a change of clothes and have to buy them all again.

Fortunately, now that online shopping has developed, they don’t have many requirements for clothing. After placing the order that afternoon, everyone changed into new clothes before taking a shower and resting.

According to the itinerary, the administrative staff will take these children to visit Yuhang City the next day to see the West Lake and high-rise buildings, which in a sense will help them make final preparations before the formal experiment.

But Ran La Azi's treatment was different. That night, after she washed and changed her clothes, the administrative staff immediately brought her to the laboratory to prepare for the first formal experiment.

The reason why she is so anxious is because her pre-test score is the highest among all the people, and she also has the phenomenon of "depth perception". Therefore, Chen Li believes that the experiment on her should be carried out as soon as possible. Invest resources as soon as possible.

If it is determined that her talent in this area can reach, or at least be close to, Yaoyao's level, then she should be given some preference in various aspects.

So, as the aunt on the plane said, Azi came to the place with the richest "culture" as soon as she arrived in Yuhang.

In the BCI joint experimental building, the door to the minimally invasive operating room has been opened. Thanks to Yaoyao's experience last time, this time the operation went more smoothly, and the anesthesia time was also just right. Less than two hours after the operation, Ah Ziji has escaped from the dazed "post-anesthesia" state and is ready to conduct experiments.

"How about it? Start?"

After checking Azi's condition, Zhu Xuan looked up at Chen Li and asked.

Chen Li glanced at his watch. Originally, his plan was to just complete minimally invasive surgery today, but judging from the current situation, it would be more than enough to complete the first full SCOPE test before 12 p.m.

"Let's get started. It's not too difficult. If we finish today, the results will be available within an hour. Then everyone can go back to sleep!"

With his order, all parts of the ever-expanding laboratory began to operate. Azi was brought into the testing area and connected to the BCI transmission equipment that had been prepared long ago, while the rest of the unrelated personnel He was pushed to the periphery and watched SpongeBob SquarePants with Yaoyao who had nothing to do.

"Yao Yao, don't you have to teach that sister today?"

"No need, I have already taught her before, and Uncle Chen said that she behaves very well on her own, so I don't need to worry too much."

"Really? What is the specific situation? Tell us about it?"

Compared to the core members of the project team and Yaoyao, who almost participated in the entire test process, these ordinary researchers actually did not obtain much detailed information about the project. This was not due to confidentiality requirements, but purely due to the division of labor among each person. Different, there is no need to align all the information gaps.

However, the most interesting parts of a project are often only accessible to core members, so now that they have caught Yaoyao, they will not give up the opportunity to gossip.

Hearing his question, Yaoyao tilted her head and thought for a moment, straightened the slightly deflected rabbit-eared camera on her head, and then said:

"Then I can only tell you the parts that are not confidential."

"Of course, of course, tell me."

A group of people gathered around Yaoyao, those who took drinks took drinks, and those who handed snacks handed snacks. They all sat upright and prepared to listen to her story.

Such a scene is really inconsistent and funny, but no one present felt there was anything wrong with it.

There is a sequence of hearings, not to mention that what is in front of them is the first and most perfect user of BCI technology since its birth.

Yaoyao started from the project team's decision to launch a large-scale experiment, and continued to talk about the various responsible persons going to various parts of the country to conduct the first and second tests of neural fitness, and then talking about what they saw and heard in Liangshan. Everyone listened with interest. Some technical questions, as long as they are not too complicated, Yaoyao can basically answer them.

For these researchers, this was a novel and pleasant experience. It was not until more than two hours later, when Azi's full SCOPE experiment was over, that they dispersed to complete the final data collection and analysis work.

Chen Li, who was walking out of the laboratory, saw this scene, smiled, pinched Yaoyao's face and asked:

"Aren't you sleepy? If you don't sleep so late, you should be angry when Brother You comes over next time."

"He won't be angry. I'm doing scientific research, Uncle Chen. What's the result?"

Chen Li's expression was a little complicated. After hesitating for a moment, he replied:

"How should I put it? The result is a bit unexpected."

"There is no problem purely technically, and her acceptance of BCI transmission is also very high."

"However, this sister Azi is far behind you in terms of comprehensive application. She cannot integrate the complex knowledge system, so the final result is not ideal."

"However, this sister's talents in certain niche areas of knowledge are astonishing - you would never guess which area she is talented in."

"Would you like to try and guess? If you guess right, my uncle will take you and your brother to buy an ice cream machine tomorrow - didn't you say you wanted to come last time?"

Yaoyao smiled sheepishly and replied:

"Hey, I just said it casually. No reward. Let me guess."

After thinking for a moment, she replied:

"Is it artistic?"

Judging from her current thinking, first of all, although this test used a broader database, the summary of knowledge in each category is still relatively extensive. From the test results, it may be possible to see that a certain experimenter She has a talent for "poetry, lyrics, and poetry," but it is absolutely not clear that she has talent for specific five-character poems or seven-character poems.

Secondly, being able to make Chen Li say "You will never think of it" proves that the talent possessed by Ran La A Zi is definitely inconsistent with the environment in which she grew up, and the thing she can think of is the farthest away from the mountains. , maybe it’s art.

Chen Li shook his head and replied:

"No. I'm just saying you can't think of it. Guess again?"

"No more guessing, no more guessing, Uncle Chen, tell me now."

Chen Li laughed and replied:

"It's a machine."

"In the test just now, she deduced the mechanical principles of the minute repeater from beginning to end based on the most basic knowledge of clocks and watches."

A few hours later, Chen Li sent the compiled desensitization results to Jess's computer due to the earlier request for permission to visit the experiment applied by the Hermes Organization. The latter looked at the words "Three Repeaters" and said, He leaned back on the sofa and took a long puff of cigarette.

Piedlov on the side had no idea what these words meant, and asked Jace stupidly:

"So, their experiment this time was actually a failure? Look at the report, it didn't meet the original expectations."

Jess glared at Piedlov angrily, and then said:

"Do you know what the Chinese people say? If you are asked to study hard, you will raise pigs. You don't raise pigs now, so why don't you even know the most basic clock knowledge? Did you earn money before? Is it true that not even a penny of that money was invested in luxury goods?”

"...I have bought a lot of guns. If we talk about luxury goods, I bought a 17th-century spring-loaded musket. It is an antique among antiques and can definitely be regarded as a luxury item in the field of firearms."

".Well, you actually convinced me today."

Jess sat up from the sofa, took off the watch in his hand and put it in Piedlov's hand and said:

"Did you see it? This is a Patek Philippe minute repeater watch. The so-called minute repeater means that after you press this mechanical button, this watch will use three different knocking sounds to tell you what time and quarter it is now. a bit."

"The minute repeater function is known as one of the most complex functions on a mechanical watch. Many watchmakers will add this function to their products to increase the price."

"Actually, if you take it apart, the basic principle of the minute repeater is not too complicated. It just has some more gears and chain plates for energy storage. However, the watchmaker who invented this structure from scratch, He can still be considered a genius."

"The mechanical understanding he possesses, if applied to other fields, will definitely achieve good results."

"So, you see that the report Chen Li sent us said 'the expected results were not achieved', but actually what he really wanted to say was 'the expected and most perfect results were not achieved'."

"They just haven't found another genius like Yang Yiyao. If we look at a single field, this A'Zi - hell, her name is a mouthful - she has already met the standard of a genius."

"After all, the database only provided her with very basic clock knowledge, and the process of deducing the minute repeater function lasted less than half an hour."

After a pause, Jess let out a long sigh and continued to ask:

"Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?"

Piedlov asked smoothly.

"This means that the 'net' they want to weave is really effective."

"And it works even further than we expected."

"It's not just a network, it's a filter. Through the BCI system, everyone can most intuitively perceive what they are really good at."

"In modern society, when it comes to talent, there are two things we fear most."

"The first one is that there is no choice; the second one is that there are too many choices and it is difficult to make the right one."

"Now, BCI technology solves two problems at the same time."

"After educational resources are pooled together, class barriers will disappear and everyone will have equal choices."

"After being classified by the BCI system, everyone can find the direction they want to go - of course, it does not rule out that some people are good at certain things, but they don't like it, so they ultimately choose other directions."

"But what does it matter? In Chinese idiom, this is called harmless."

"The cost of trial and error for the entire society will drop off a cliff, and their development efficiency will reach China's -- no, the highest peak in human history."

After hearing this, Piedrov finally realized the weight of this report. After a few seconds of silence, he asked:

"Then the competition we talked about before, do we still want to do it?"

Jace smiled helplessly and replied:

"Actually, this competition has no meaning for us anymore, but for China, this is a good publicity opportunity."

“So, let’s just keep going and treat it as if we are giving them a ‘helping hand’.”
