Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Hundred thousand dollars for a computer to play games, I'm afraid the vast majority of people won't.

But a hundred thousand dollars to buy a “world," I don't know, there are a bunch of people who would really feel like it.

Of course, dreams are wonderful, and in fact, there are a lot of problems with the way the ark is costing, because a lot of the resources he uses are actually money free.

For example, the chip used to design the neuromodulator was provided by Professor Wu Tianqun.

The entire carbon-based chip project was funded by his own pocket, a piece of which no one would naturally charge him. For example, some of the carbon materials consumed in making the entire equipment, this part was ordered from Zhongshan New Materials.

Just say it's an order, it doesn't really make any difference to white shipping. Not that Ark wanted to stand on Boss Liu's cheap, but when he wanted to pay, he was refused by Boss Liu in good faith.

“You've studied all these technologies. How can I charge you? Besides, you are also a shareholder of Zhongshan New Materials. Let's not see each other like that for tens of thousands of dollars. ”

The Ark is a troublemaker. It's more troublemaker to pay than not to pay, so that's it.

In addition to these visible costs, there are invisible.

For example, over-counting —— in fact, the arithmetic support provided by the quantum computer on the ark. Converting this part of the operation to the general overhead centre service charge is also an implicit cost saving.

If you calculate it so rigorously, maybe the $100,000 that he estimated would have to be at least two or three times the real cost.

In short, after consulting with his CEO, Ark finally adopted Chen Yushan's suggestion to keep the technology private for the time being.

After all, this thing involves sensitive brains.

Putting products on the market before rigorous safety testing is not only suspected of using consumers as rats, it is also a matter of ethical controversy.

Until the technology is fully mature, the resistance to diffusion will undoubtedly be much smaller than taking it out directly when it is immature.

Besides, unlike companies born in Silicon Valley like Neuralink and EyeMynd, not only do they receive funding from the national level, they simply do not rely on premature speculation to attract capital.

Just like Ye Nan, who voluntarily found the ark, was never watched by others drooling in his lab, and there had never been any research because of lack of money.

Chen Yushan: “I'll find a way to solve the experimenter's problem. How much do you need? ”

Ark: “Ten or more, if you don't get to the top, of course, the more, the better. But if you can't find it, you don't have to force it too much. I'll say hello to Kim Dae... there should still be a way. ”

Getting students to volunteer is also a good way to do it, and I'm sure a bunch of people will sign up if they hear about his research project and test it for neural access to virtual reality technology.

As far as safety is concerned, there is no need to worry at all.

While it may sound a little intrusive to treat the brain as something like a graphics card, a GPU, etc., the fact is that the brain itself in working condition is doing the same, and more complicated, thing as long as people keep their eyes open.

In contrast, interference generated by imitating neural microcurrents, which are actively output by neural signal modems, increases the load on the brain relatively little.

At least it's definitely healthier than staring at the phone screen for hours in a row.

If there is a safety hazard, the ark will not let the sister just lie down and experience it.

However, he had just spoken out and was rejected without hesitation by his sister.

“Don't! Don't do this. If this kind of thing gets out, what do you think the media will use? ”

The ark frowned, remembering the unofficial media he had dealt with, and his expression suddenly grew subtle.

“... you seem to have a point. ”

“The vast majority of people prefer to believe what they want to believe to the truth. ”

Some looked at the Ark with a headache, Chen Yushan sighed and continued, “... anyway, don't worry about the experimenter, just leave it to me. ”

With a helpless look, the ark nodded down.

“All right then. ”

It's natural for someone to worry about these irrelevant things for him.

If he could focus on research, of course, he would not waste his energy outside the study.

After sending away the schoolsister, the ark turned back to the underground lab, and as he was about to continue to figure out how to improve the system, the phone in his pocket suddenly shook.

Pull it out, no accidents are coming from Em.

Xiao Ei: [Master, someone is investigating you on the dark web! (10)]

“Investigate me?” Slightly stunned, "said the submarine consciousness.“ Who? ”

His first reaction was the vest of Dr. Z, and the paper he hung on Arxiv probably caught some attention.

It's just that he hasn't paid much attention to it in the last half month of closure.

He had hoped to find several experienced and like-minded cowmen to improve the system, but he forgot about it as soon as he got busy.

I didn't expect that after only half a month, my vest was hanging on the dark net for a reward.

Em: [I don't know! But I can help you investigate... Can Em be allowed to attack?✧ (๑ • ㅂ •)

Ark: “Yes… but don't overdo it. ”

Em: [Roger! (ω)]

According to the directives set by the Ark, only for defensive purposes can an attack on the source be initiated by means including, but not limited to, hacking into electronic equipment.

If you suspect only clues that are harmful to the safety of others, you must have his approval to do so.

My vest was hung on the dark internet for a reward. It's not really a big deal, but it's better to check it out for insurance reasons.

Just look at this guy's face...

The Ark has some doubts as to whether this guy is protecting himself or playing.

……

It did not take too long to gather evidence.

After digging out the real IP of the account that released the reward, Em quickly locked the target, successfully gained the administrator privileges of his PC and took over his camera for the first time.

The truth soon came out of the water.

Looking at the man on the screen with the big stomach poop and smooth head oil, the ark suddenly felt a little funny.

He thought people from the FBI or the CIA were onto him. I didn't think he was just a professor of bioneural network research.

Master, do you want me to teach him a lesson? Like emptying his hard drive. (⃔ * ` ꒳ ´ *) ⃕ ↝

Ark: "… just take off the reward he posted. ”

Em: [Eh? Is that enough? "(ººº *)]

Ark: “Well, it's not dangerous anyway, so don't embarrass him. ”

Em: [Well... okay. QAQ]

After a sip of coffee, ignoring the “QAQ" ark for a moment, he continued: "By the way, to help me retrieve his academic resume from the database, I needed a detailed piece of information, including papers he had contributed within a decade, writing experiences, academic conferences he had attended, etc. ”

While it's naive to want to spend a bitcoin to figure out what even intelligence agents around the globe are interested in, a bitcoin is worth a lot of money.

Seeing as he doesn't seem to be rich enough to spend tens of thousands of dollars at random without pain, the Ark is curious as to what makes him so eager to contact himself.
