Global monopoly of technology

After the meeting, Luo Sheng returned to his office, and Gao Hua, the person in charge of the virtual brain-computer project, came with him.

After the meeting, Luo Sheng personally approved an integer R&D budget of 100 billion yuan to him, and went to the Blue Coast Lab together with Gao Hua to see the progress of the virtual brain machine project department.

It is worth mentioning that the "Côte d'Azur laboratory" is just a general term, which refers to the most powerful comprehensive R&D institution of Côte d'Azur. There are R&D centers with Côte d'Azur laboratories all over the world.

The emphasis on talent is well-known in the industry. Some geniuses are weird and don't like to be far away from home.

The Côte d’Azur said that there is no problem. If you have the ability, I will pay to build a research institute near your home. You don’t need to drive to work and you can walk there.

Nowadays, the reputation of the Côte d’Azur laboratory is ubiquitous all over the world. Everyone in the global scientific and technological circles knows this, and it has even entered some elementary school textbooks.

People no longer call it the "Bell Labs of the East". This compulsion is no longer enough. It is already in line with the "Bell Labs" of the ATT Group and the "Skunk Factory", the core advanced research department of Lockheed Martin. With the same name, it is a globally recognized "black technology" R&D center in the industry today.

Bell Labs is already declining. It is too uncompelling to say that it is the "Bell Labs of the East", but the Côte d'Azur Lab is the youngest.

Speaking of youth, Google’s “X Lab” is also very young and is now very well-known. However, in terms of influence and the output of technical products, Google’s “X Lab” is one grade weaker.

Blue Coast Laboratory, Virtual Brain Machine Project Department

Luo Sheng came to an independent research building. This building is dedicated to the headquarters of the virtual brain-computer project department. It is the only separate project department and a headquarters in the group company so far.

Having a headquarters means there are branches, and these branches are all over the world.

Ninety percent of the technology of virtual brain machines is blank and unknown. It is to continuously expand the technological boundaries little by little. It covers not only one or two scientific fields, but also interdisciplinary applications, involving electronics. It is not unreasonable that the research funds of the project department have been overspent year after year for applied research in many fields such as biology, materials, and human brain.

At this moment, Gao Hua took Luo Sheng to wander around in the laboratory. The internal space is large. The partition walls are made of transparent glass partition walls. Engineers, researchers, and scholars are all busy with their work. It happened to be with Luo Sheng. After making a face-to-face meeting, he would say hello and continue to work hard.

The employees here all know Luo Sheng, but Luo Sheng knows less than 1% of them, which means that most of the 1% who know them are from one side, but Luo Sheng’s memory is very good. Generally, he will remember them even after a long time after meeting. .

"Different technical principles lead to completely different applications. Google's virtual reality relies on human sensory feedback, while Musk's minimally invasive brain-computer interface is derived from the physical structure of human bioelectricity."

Luo Sheng stopped and looked around. Gao Hua, who was with him, introduced the project from time to time. The project was set up by the big boss himself, but he rarely came in person.

At this time, Luo Sheng saw through the transparent partition wall in a laboratory where several staff members were performing a test. One tester had his head shaved, and his head had conductive glue and some wires. .

The tester was engrossed in looking at the screen in front of him. Inside the screen was the interface of the Tetris game, but he did not operate it by hand, but guided the game with "mind".

At the same time, Gao Hua went on to say: “Biology believes that almost every cell is a miniature generator, heart beating, muscle contraction, brain thinking, and any subtle physiological activity of the human body is related to bioelectricity. Neuron cells The transfer of information between each other is done by bioelectric signals."

"If these bioelectric signals can be captured and collected, and directly converted into computer-readable information, then a direct interaction bridge can be built between humans and computers, and the data interaction capabilities of this bridge will far exceed any current one. A physical terminal that even kills Azure-5 mobile phones."

Luo Sheng was still paying attention to the tester who used his brain to play Tetris and said, "It looks like it's going well."

Gao Hua followed his gaze, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "To tell the truth, Mr. Luo has been stuck here for several years. The pain point is that it takes too much brain power. The tester must concentrate and concentrate, otherwise it will signal. Distortion feedbacks the wrong logic signal, and it is too energy-consuming for people, and the product experience is very bad."

"In fact, we have already found two related questions. The first is how to get the correct information from the brain; the second is how to send the correct information to the brain? The first question is about receiving the brain's output, that is: recording nerves. The second question is about sending information to the neural network of the brain, or changing the flow of nerves, that is, stimulating neurons."

These two things are naturally sent in the brain, just like a person's eyes are doing some horizontal movement, so that he can see the picture in front of him. This is the brain's neurons outputting information to the machine, which is the human eye. , And the eyes received this information and responded appropriately.

Entering the retina through the eyes, stimulating the neurons in the occipital lobe makes the image enter the human mind, and the image stimulates other neurons in the brain so that people can process and store the information in these images, and then understand the outside world.

Gao Hua added: "When we truly understand what is happening inside the brain, we realize that understanding these problems may be the hardest thing that humans can do."

At this moment, Luo Sheng retracted his gaze and looked at Gao Hua: "This is the hardest thing that humans can do? Why don't I find it difficult?"

Gao Hua was stunned when he heard these words, and for a moment, he said in embarrassment: "Mr. Luo, I'm talking to death this day, how can I continue with your words~"

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "It's really not that difficult. I've done it myself. I will copy a copy of the information to you later. You can access it from the cloud."

Gao Hua's eyes suddenly rounded up: "What? This...Mr. Luo, are you kidding me?"

Luo Sheng calmly said: "Do you think that I will be the shopkeeper, that is, I will not work every night? I also have my own private laboratory. Don't forget your boss, my specialty is artificial intelligence, which can be regarded as cross-border linkage."

Bionic people have come out, and a large number of technologies are applicable to virtual brain machines.

After Gao Hua reacted, he was immediately ecstatic. It was too unexpected. He didn't expect that the big boss was also doing research and development silently.

Now that I have recovered, I realize that the big boss is not only the founder and entrepreneur, but also a technology master. It's just that what made him famous is because he founded several super technology giants and the scale of wealth of unprecedented people. However, the status of being a technical expert has been gradually ignored.

Gao Hua also realized that the best part of BOSS is artificial intelligence technology. The artificial intelligence technology of the Blue Coast company is absolutely leading the world. In fact, the core contributor is the founder himself.

Luo Sheng turned to ask: "By the way, have you found a solution for the true immersive experience?"
