Digital Kingdom

Zhao Ziming received the call, was in a daze, and started to get up, ready to check the information online.

"what happened",

Zhao Jing was awakened by his actions, propped up her body, squinted her eyes, half asleep and half awake.

"It's okay, you go to sleep", Zhao Ziming patted the woman,

Zhao Jing fell asleep again after hearing this.

Although there is a confinement wife, but as a mother, how can she avoid such things as babysitting? She suffers from serious lack of sleep every day.

Zhao Ziming approved a pajama, went to the study, and turned on the computer.

He Qian sent a lot of information, including pictures and text, and Zhao Ziming slowly scanned it.

This time He Gan was invited by Stanford University to conduct academic exchanges.

With the successful development of the "brain portal" system, He Gan gained fame in the industry and gradually became a bigwig, receiving constant invitations.

The two had exchanges during the day, and He Gan talked about the development of brain-computer interface technology over there, mostly in a non-invasive direction.

Although there are many project teams, the results are few, and they are all in their infancy.

In general, Dream is one step ahead and provoked the banner of invasive brain-computer technology.

Other than that, no other news was said.

However, now, He Gan suddenly ignored the jet lag and sent so many things to his immediate boss late at night. It shouldn't be a trivial matter.

Zhao Ziming looked at the time, it was early in the morning, presumably it was noon in the United States.

After watching it carefully for a while, Zhao Ziming understood what was going on, and the unhappiness in his heart had already disappeared.

He Gan met Professor Theodore Berger of the University of Southern California at a cold dinner today. He was shocked when he learned that the other party had invented the memory chip.

Professor Berg’s project, because there is no profit prospects for a long time, is now in a situation where funds are scarce and the team is frequently disbanded. Why don't you contact your immediate boss regardless of the time difference.

If it weren't for He Gan's proposal, Zhao Ziming thought the memory chip was purely flickering.

In recent years, especially after Zhao Ziming became famous, various venture capital projects have come to the door.

Especially with the listing of Golden Dragon Loan and the launch of artificial intelligence, Zhao Ziming has become a new technology entrepreneurial idol. There are so many people who come to sell projects.

Many people specifically tailored to Zhao Ziming's preferences, all-black technology.

From food, clothing, housing, transportation to aerospace technology, from social e-commerce to smart wearables, from water to oil to air energy storage, from quantum chips to gene editing, everything is available.

In many cases, it is difficult for Zhao Ziming to judge the true or false of the project. He is worried about being cheated and being taken advantage of, but also for fear of missing the real opportunity. He can only use the power of small news to analyze the whole industry.

Regarding the memory chip, there were really venture capital projects that came to the door before, and the team members have perfect resumes. They have already attracted tens of millions of investments, and the project prospects have been rendered extremely bright.

Save the memory and survive in the digital world to achieve alternative immortality.

Although Zhao Ziming listened with gusto, he was more concerned about the face of the other party as a beauty, and the prospect of the project was not at all convinced.

Alternative immortality?Digital survival?He didn't dare to think so with the black technology in his hand. In the end, based on the hard work of the other party, he invested a million for hard work.

I didn't expect to get the same news from Hogan today, and the inner shock can be imagined.

Zhao Ziming regretted it a little bit at the time. At that time, he just wanted to make fun of the other party. The specific ideas were forgotten after they were heard.

"Sir, the coffee is ready",

Although it was midnight, Zhao Ziming went to bed together, and the servant who served him also got up early and busy, bringing the ground coffee.

Zhao Ziming took a sip, refreshed, and continued to browse.

Professor Berg’s vision is of course not the flicker of beauty managers, only the prospects, not the immediate.

Memory transplantation sounds particularly magical, but the technical realization is not mysterious.

The chip made by Professor Berg is actually a mathematical model that mimics the function of the hippocampus in the brain.

As we all know, the hippocampus is in charge of memory. If the hippocampus is degraded or damaged, people will lose memory.

The Alzheimer's disease we often say is this principle.

But in fact, the hippocampus is not a producer of memory, nor is it a hard disk for storing memory, it is just a porter of memory.

If you want to remember something for a long time, you must rely on the hippocampus to convert short-term memory into long-term memory.

So the hippocampus is more like a memory programmer in the brain.

Whenever a short-term memory is to be converted into a long-term memory, it encodes these short-term memories, and then outputs a long-term memory code to the brain. Once the brain sees this code, the memory is preserved for a long time.

In 2002, Professor Berg discovered the cipher memory of the hippocampus, and he began to try to use a chip to store the data of the cipher memory, and then use the chip to replace the hippocampus programmer's work.

After ten years of research, in 2013, Professor Berg finally completed the experiment with monkeys.

His backup process is roughly like this: implant the chip into the brain of a monkey, and then train the monkey to press the correct button within 30 seconds.Next, copy the chip into the brain of another monkey, and the second monkey directly selected the correct button and completed the button action that should have been done through training.

The success rate reached 100%, which was shocking and cracked the secret of God.

By this year, Professor Berg tried to do human experiments with memory chips, and the success rate continued to rise.

However, due to the severe shortage of funds, he had to start looking for investors.

Why are such black-tech products and technologies with great prospects lacking financial support, thus reaching an unsustainable dilemma?

The crux of the problem is that the memory chip is too black technology.

It took Professor Berg ten years to successfully validate it on monkeys. Although human experiments have already begun, human brains are not as easy to obtain as monkey brains.

In addition, this is just a backup and copy of a memory, even like a monkey experiment, just a copy of behavior.

The complexity of the human brain is beyond imagination.

It took so long to back up a piece of information, and the whole brain was down, and the workload was unimaginable.

The amount of information released by our brain every moment is very huge.

Assuming that 1% of the neurons in the brain fire at the same time, it is equivalent to sending 400 high-definition movies in 1 second.

One can imagine the difficulty, and it's no wonder that most investors will stay away.

A famous investment circle once said that not to mention that the black technology in front of you is a hooligan, and the memory chip is definitely the most amazing work in the past decade.

However, how long does it take to put it into use?

Ten years, twenty years, or a hundred years!
