Chapter 315 Safety Principles

As time goes by, more and more people are experimenting with brain chips, not only the biologists who originally developed them, but also various scientists who voluntarily join the experiment...

The more people there are, the more complete the experimental data will be...After a period of testing, it really does not have too many defects.

These experimenters generally show intelligence beyond ordinary people.

Especially in terms of calculation...and because of the surge in the amount of calculation, it seems to make the brain more sensitive, and indirectly drive other functions.

The language ability of the experimenters has become stronger, energetic, clear-minded, and agile. They can even recombine and organize some details and information that are not easy to notice in an instant and draw inferences.

The result is...a surge in scientific research capabilities!

Many problems that have troubled mankind for a long time have been solved in a short period of time!

Immediately afterwards, this epoch-making scientific research masterpiece really attracted widespread attention from the people of Noah.

On the streets and alleys, people are discussing everywhere, some supportive and some not.

Some people are still studying what these technologies can bring to mankind, how much industrial capacity can be increased...how much time can be saved for the "Deep Space".

"According to the current test results, the work efficiency and scientific research ability of the testers have generally improved significantly... Of course, this improvement is difficult to measure with numbers."

"Let me give you a simple example: an ordinary math test paper, everyone knows the knowledge points, usually takes 120 minutes to complete, and the average score is 60 points. Even senior scholars have to spend more than 100 minutes to complete it. This is entirely a problem of brain computing."

"But in the hands of the testers, the completion speed is about 15 minutes, and the average score is more than 90 points!"

"This is because... the speed of handwriting can't keep up with the speed of brain thinking, which drags down time!"

Just based on this item, many students, scientific researchers, and programmers are already shouting there. They are eager to try and want to be a brain chip tester!

Who doesn't want to become smarter! Who doesn't want to be more focused and have a super brain?

But some people think that this chip may have some potential risks and even bring some harm to human society...including the conservative Captain Yu Yifeng!

In order to answer the doubts in the hearts of the people, the government department specially produced a special issue and invited many experts to explain the specific functions and safety of brain chips to everyone.

At 8 o'clock that night, the program started, and almost everyone gathered in front of the TV with great interest.

"What is there to debate about? This must be a good thing!" Alien Hei complained speechlessly, and then took a sip of beer, but no one in the bar paid any attention to him.

"Hello, dear audience friends, I am Victoria, and I am also the host of this program. Today, we specially invited the core research and development members of the brain chip to answer various questions about the brain chip for everyone..." On the TV screen, a blonde beauty held a microphone with a passionate professional smile.

"Dear friends, if you have any questions that you want experts to answer, you can edit a text message and send it to 10888..."

She sat on the left side of the TV station, and opposite her was a group of scientists. They are the core leaders of the brain chip.

"Professors, first allow me to ask the first question, which is also a widely questioned safety issue: Where does the brain chip's energy source come from? Is it a battery? How is its safety performance? Will it be destroyed by strong magnetic fields and currents?"

Faced with this question, Dr. Roman, who was sitting in the front, paused.

He said: "Brain chips have been studied for decades and use microcircuit technology. Its power is very small, about 0.1-0.2 watts, and it is connected to certain capillaries in the brain. So its energy source is the body's own blood sugar, not the battery..."

"As you all know, the power of the brain itself is about 10-23 watts, so increasing 0.1-0.2 watts does not matter much, and the human body can fully bear it."

"As for the problem of strong magnetic fields, we have already considered it in advance. The chip uses antimagnetic materials and graphite conductors, and there is basically no metal material. The current in the chip is only equivalent to biological current, which can resist the magnetic field to a certain extent."

"So don't worry, ordinary MRI-level magnetic fields will not cause any harm to it."

"Another point, if the magnetic field strength really exceeds the core The chip's tolerance, for example, in an ultra-strong magnetic field environment of more than 15T, the brain chip will automatically shut down, which is also a protection mechanism..."

Dr. Roman gestured with his hands and continued: "For workers who need to be in a strong magnetic field environment for a long time, we will provide special protective helmets..."

The host Victoria nodded and said with a smile: "In other words, it will automatically shut down after detecting an unfavorable environment, right? So... if the brain chip is really damaged, will it affect the human brain. "

"... No. "Roman shook his head and said: "For safety considerations, we designed it with the human brain as the main focus, and the brain chip is only auxiliary. But after losing it, the brain's computing power will drop rapidly, and you will feel very uncomfortable, as if... you have a lame leg..."

"This also leads to another problem..."

Victoria immediately questioned when she heard this: "Will we become physically dependent on it? Just like some drugs, it is addictive..."

Faced with this malicious question, Roman shook his head and said: "There will be no physical dependence. But there will definitely be psychological dependence..."

Speaking of this, his voice rose a little: "But I think there is nothing wrong with this dependence... Our human brain is not perfect. If there is a tool that can make it smarter, why not use it?"

"Just like our feet, after wearing shoes, we can walk faster. So each of us wears shoes and becomes dependent on it, and everyone is accustomed to it..."

"I think that brain chips are just tools like shoes, and we should look at them dialectically."

"It will not change your thinking or your logic! You also need to learn. Even with a brain chip, you still can't do the questions you didn't know how to do before! This is also what we emphasize. It is just a tool that will help you calculate, but not help you think!"

Victoria was stunned, and everyone in front of the TV also discussed it.

At this time, the host received a message from the director.

She took a peek and said directly: "The following is the audience question session. Some viewers questioned that according to Gödel's incompleteness theorem, the instruction set of any CPU is incomplete, that is... every machine has bugs... What if the chip receives an electronic virus? Will it be poisoned?"

"Will the poisoning cause serious damage to the brain?"

Dr. Roman withdrew, and another expert took over: "We have also considered this... We really can't make an operating system without bugs. Therefore, all information collection work will still be done by the human brain."

"The brain chip is just an auxiliary tool, and this will never change. If it cannot directly obtain data from the outside world, all data is transmitted to it by the human brain."

"In this way, the probability of receiving an electronic virus is very small. It is impossible for a hacker to create an electronic virus for it through the human brain?"

This is true. Many viewers nodded and understood what the expert said.

Safety issues are always the most important. Such a design is equivalent to physical isolation. Even Yu Yifeng thinks that this design is quite necessary.

The expert continued, "But then again, although the chip cannot receive information, it can send information outward, that is, emit some electromagnetic waves."

"It is this function that can achieve a qualitative change in human-computer interaction. The brain chip can make the power armor more fit and allow the power armor to fully read the actions that humans want."

"Not only the power armor, but also spaceships... It is equivalent to realizing brain wave control! We are still studying related issues in this regard, and it is basically just a matter of time."

As soon as this sentence came out, all the young people became excited.

"Electromagnetic waves..." Victoria, the host, is a conservative. She asked with some concern: "Will electromagnetic waves interfere with people's brain waves?"

"Of course not!" The expert laughed: "It is similar to mobile phone signals, and even weaker than mobile phone signals. After all, the power of the entire chip is only 0.2W! I have never heard of... someone's brain being interfered by mobile phone signals."

"You don't have to worry about this!"
