Great Power Technology

One month later, Chengdu.

Ye Zhou was sitting in his office, holding in his hand the report he had just read on the latest progress in BCI technology.

In fact, because he was busy with the final sprint work of the Shenguang project, he had not paid attention to outside news for a long time. When he first saw the report, he thought it was just another routine progress report.

But when he opened the report, he found that things had developed far beyond his imagination.

The progress was too fast, and the results were so exaggerated that he almost thought that what he saw was a false and fabricated performance report. But when he contacted Chen Hao for confirmation, the other party clearly told him that everything , are all true.

When he connected to the Internet again, he discovered that all these developments had already caused an uproar in public opinion.

What grabbed the headlines was the result of the so-called "Attack Challenge" initiated by Hermes.

In this so-called challenge, Hermes networked with a group of elites in various fields, each asked a question in their field, and then waited for the answer from the BCI project team led by Chen Li.

These questions cover a wide range, including but not limited to various fields such as art, literature, economics, mathematics, logic, etc. There are no standard answers to all questions. Only those who truly understand this field and have original thinking about this field can provide answers. Come up with a persuasive answer.

When this competition was first launched, no one thought that Chen Li’s BCI team could win, because as the Hermes Organization said, BCI technology can solve the problem of knowledge stock, not the problem of knowledge application and exploration. .

Therefore, theoretically speaking, these problems that do not exist in the existing knowledge system should directly block the path for all BCI experimenters to challenge and make them fail.

However, what everyone did not expect was that the method adopted by the BCI team was not to let one or two experimenters fight on these problems at all, but also recruited more than 200 experimenters, allowing them all to participate in answering the questions. , as long as one person solves the problem, it represents the success of this technical route.

Obviously, the results speak for themselves.

The entire competition has almost completely turned into a one-sided show for the BCI project team. Those seemingly abstruse questions, and even some questions that seniors in the field cannot answer, were all solved in one night on the day of release.

The entire public opinion is in an uproar. Some people marvel at the power of BCI technology, while others question whether this technology is unfair to those who have worked hard to achieve results. However, no one will deny one basic fact, that is:

This technology is definitely one of the most correct paths for human development.

However, what the BCI project team has done is far more than that. Starting with the first girl named Ran La Azi, the project team released a series of breathtaking results achieved during the experiment.

Some people deduced the minute repeater structure based on basic clock knowledge, some people completed the first well-received painting after just preliminary integration of painting techniques from various schools, and some people learned all the skills in human history in two hours. programming language, and wrote complex programs that can be executed - and this child was born and raised in the mountains. In the past 11 years, he has only seen computers in textbooks and multimedia classrooms.

What is even more surprising is that the BCI system brings not only the convenience of application technology exploration, but also in the purely theoretical scope, especially mathematics. An experimenter who spent two weeks integrating all mathematical knowledge proposed a solution for Li A new way of proving Mann's hypothesis - although this idea was not feasible in the end, the amazing mathematical thinking he displayed still shocked the entire generation of mathematicians.

At this moment, everyone realized the fact: genius always exists, but most of it is buried.

Then, another trend of thought began to spread.

Is it possible that I am actually a genius in a certain field?

Is it possible that my child is actually a genius?

If you can be a genius, who wants to live a mediocre life?

The call for popularizing BCI transmission technology continues to rise, and the last resistance to the continued development of this technology has been removed.

After all, human beings are creatures with advanced intelligence. In the face of clearly achievable benefits, no one will adhere to the so-called "academic craftsmanship" in a rut, otherwise they will only be regarded as stupid by others around them.

Therefore, when this report was delivered to Ye Zhou's desk, earth-shaking changes were actually taking place quietly in China, and in order to cope with this change, all official departments in China were working intensively. Put it into operation and prepare for this major change that is unprecedented in both sociological and biological senses.

Ye Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief, put down the report, raised his head, and looked at Lin Ling, who had just come to him to discuss project resource allocation, and who was now sitting opposite and looking at him curiously.

"This world is going to change."

he said with emotion.

"Is it because of BCI technology?"

Ye Zhou nodded, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked:

"Hey, by the way, do you think it's unfair for a moment? That is, you have worked hard for so many years and studied hard for so many years, but in the end, because of a piece of technology, others can easily reach your height. "

"Will this make you feel mentally unbalanced?"

After hearing Ye Zhou's words, Lin Ling did not answer directly, but asked:

"Gong Ye, let me ask you a question first. Do you think that when Zhan Tianyou died of severe heart failure due to abdominal disease, would he have thought that it would be so easy for us to build a railway and that it would be so easy for ordinary people to travel? convenient?"

Ye Zhou was stunned, shook his head and said:

"I think he should know. He is an engineer himself, and his understanding of construction machinery is far beyond ordinary people, so he should also know that with the development of mechanical technology, subsequent construction projects will become easier and easier, and travel will also become easier. It’s getting more and more convenient.”

Lin Ling nodded, stood up and stretched his legs, then continued:

"Look, let's go back to the BCI technology itself. In essence, the people who benefit the most from this technology are ordinary people, or disadvantaged groups, who are at a disadvantage in the competition for resources, right?"

"For various reasons, they have sunk to the bottom of society. They may not have a chance to stand up throughout their lives, or even for several generations to come."

"I don't know if you have had such an experience, but in my life, I have actually seen many such people."

"For example, when I was a child, I had a neighbor brother in my hometown in the countryside. He was a very smart kid, and his grades were always first in the class. If the normal development trend continues, he is likely to become a member of our generation in that village. The best of them all.”

"I still remember that at that time, he often moved a chair and sat under the tree in front of his house to read. Every time I passed by, he would politely turn aside and deliberately look away."

"Do you know what my dad said at that time? He said that this person has the demeanor of a gentleman at a young age."

"This comment sounds funny now, but it is true that this is the feeling he gave us."

"However, the development of this world does not depend on individual will."

"In the next few years, several major events occurred in his family."

"First my parents were laid off, then my grandpa became seriously ill and emptied the family's savings, and then my mother got cancer."

"Soon after, his father went to work in someone else's black mine in order to earn more money, and was buried in it. He lost a total of 50,000 yuan."

"This 50,000 yuan is not even enough for his mother's medical expenses for a month. After half a year of delay, his mother is gone."

"You may think I'm going to tell an inspirational story - it's actually quite inspirational. After he became an orphan, he never gave up his efforts, but the pressure in life was so heavy that he couldn't tell much difference at all. I put all my energy into studying, but in the end I just returned to my hometown and became an ordinary farmer."

"When I went home for the New Year last year, I saw him again. He was actually doing well, but I always felt that it was difficult to calm down."

After taking a deep breath, Lin Ling continued:

"Ye Gong, look, this is actually a very, very ordinary story."

"Because this story is actually not that dramatic, because such stories happen on this land every moment."

"But it's because of this that it makes people feel so upset."

"Every day, people lose the ability to move forward due to various reasons. Every day, people are cut off from the path to a higher level due to lack of resources."

“No matter how hard they try, they cannot break the ‘resource shackles’ that life imposes on them.”

"I sometimes wonder if the neighbor brother, when he is working hard for his future, would think, 'It would be great if there was a high-speed railway in my life. I could take the train on this road and go directly Reach the end of where I want to be'?"

"Obviously, BCI technology is such a high-speed railway."

"You ask me whether I feel wronged or unfair. In fact, I think the people who make such claims online are quite ridiculous."

"They probably can't understand an idealist who wants to change the world. They are just using the 'Emperor's Golden Hoe' to help others think about problems."

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Sui man who was the first to light a bonfire by drilling wood would be aggrieved by the lighter invented by his descendants? Thousands of years ago, Cai Lun, who used the four-step method to make paper, would be aggrieved by our current Do you feel that your life is full of screens and you can hardly see much paper and lament that people are not as old as they used to be?"

"Even in modern times, our ancestors who wielded machetes and fought against invaders, would they feel that their efforts were buried because of the electromagnetic guns installed on our warships?"

"This is too ridiculous."

Having said this, Lin Ling sighed deeply, then looked at Ye Zhou and said:

"Actually, I already answered this question when we first met. Ye Gong, do you still remember what I said?"

Ye Zhou nodded slightly and replied:

"You said that it is possible that everything you have done in this life is useless waste, just paving the way for others."

Lin Ling's eyes lit up and he said with a smile:

"You have a pretty good memory - so, I'm just a pavement person."

"The people who pave the road don't care whether they are people or cars walking on the road. I just hope that more people will walk on this road and they can walk faster."

After hearing Lin Ling's answer, Ye Zhou nodded solemnly.

Then, he opened the curtains of the office and then pushed open the window.

"You're right. In fact, we are all the ones who pave the way."

"Now this road will be completed soon."

"He will connect the whole of China and even the whole world."

"By that time, none of the 'difficult to settle' things you mentioned will happen."

After a moment of pause, Ye Zhou suddenly turned around with a smile, pointed at the report on the table and said:

"Then do you know what I was thinking when I saw this report today?"

"What is it?"

Lin Ling asked curiously.

"It's a sentence, guess what?"

"Well, I wish that everyone in China would be like a dragon?"

Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:

"That's not what I was thinking."

"From today on, all the heroes in the world will be in my arms!"
