Chapter 513: Hermes' Question

At the same time, in a room in a five-star hotel in Rongcheng, Jace was sitting opposite Pidlov, discussing recent information about BCI transmission technology.

"So, based on the information feedback from the laboratory, these Chinese people have really achieved the leapfrog development of human-computer information interaction? Do you mean that I won't have to learn language in the future? Just use a brain computer to understand everyone's words?"

"......In theory, you don't have to learn languages ​​now. Didn't you have AI intelligent translation long ago? When we went to see giant pandas yesterday, didn't they send us back?"

Jace looked at Pidrov with a funny look. During the time he stayed in Rongcheng, they made many jokes because of their inconvenience in language. He felt that it was harmless, but Pidrov was always resentful.

"That's different. After all, the translation of a machine is relatively slow. It's much faster to directly transmit and feedback through the nerves---I'm also considering communication efficiency."

"If we say this, the fastest way of communication is to directly connect the brain computers of two people in the future - not just that, the way of falling in love will probably change in the future."

Speaking of this, Jace's expression suddenly became ambiguous. After pausing for a few seconds, he suddenly spoke:

"Hey, have you ever heard of this saying that the brain is actually the biggest xqg... All your pleasant reactions actually come from the brain."

"Does that mean that one day we want that, we don't need that, just connect the brain computer..."

"No!no!"

Pidlov looked at Jace with horror, then continued:

"You know, I'm a very traditional person, and I still stick to the traditional method in this kind of thing!"

"...Okay, but this is indeed a blessing for some patients--but I don't need it anymore. Do you need it?"

"Of course I don't need it! What are you kidding!"

"There will always be someone who needs it-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That's good, that's good..."

Pidlov breathed a deep sigh of relief, and the future that Jace had just portrayed was really terrible for him.

After a moment of pause, he continued to ask:

"After that, the purpose of our coming here seems to be to get their algorithms and databases? It has been two months since then, but we have not got anything, and the other party has not given us a clear answer."

"I feel that the only thing we have in the past two months is a pile of compost meat---There are so many delicious food in Rongcheng, no wonder the Chinese people say this is one of the most suitable cities for retirement."

Hearing Pidlov's words, Jace nodded slightly and replied:

"Yes, this is also a question I'm considering recently. The other party has never recognized the path of consciousness uploading that we chose, so it is indeed not easy to convince them to share the most core technology."

"Why are they so opposed to consciousness uploading?"

Pidlov asked curiously.

Jace sighed deeply, and put out half of the cigarette in his hand, then said with emotion:

"Actually, I have many versions of the answers to your question, such as this is caused by cultural attributes, such as their collectivized social structure, such as this is determined by their ideology and economic foundation..."

"All these answers can reasonably explain why they chose BCI transmission technology, why they chose the Tongtianhe project, and why they chose to build the so-called "Beijinghuo". However, these answers are a bit too complicated."

"To put it simply, the answer is only one sentence."

"They want to save everyone."

"Everyone? What does it mean?"

"It's all people literally. Look, if we are in a country, if we expect a major disaster, then the official first reaction is to weigh the pros and cons, find ways to save the most valuable people and achieve the result of maximizing interests."

"As for other people, they can be given up."

"What about them? They are different. They treat you equally regardless of whether you are poor or rich, whether you are a high-ranking or an ordinary citizen, whether you are an elderly or a young child, whether you are a man or a woman."

"Even if you are going to die from cancer tomorrow, they will save you first--it is OK to die from cancer, but you can't die from an adjacent dimension invasion."

"It's ironic, isn't it?"

Pidlov nodded and replied:

"It's quite ironic. Saving these people who don't need to save them has paid in vain, but they have not received any reward. In their words, this is just the so-called "face project."

Jace glared at him with a look of regret, and then cursed:

"That's not what I mean by irony, you idiot!"

"What I mean is that we claim to be a democratic country, claim to respect the independence of each individual and protect the rights of each individual, but we give up these individuals without hesitation when we are alive and die."

"Isn't it ironic that they, a collectivist country, have all actions that should be based on the maximization of collective interests, but they just protect the lives and rights of all people at all costs?"

"You idiot, it's not them who are being ridiculed, it's us!"

Pidlov spread his hands and replied:

"Okay OK, I didn't actually think so much... You know, I haven't always liked thinking."

"But you may be right. Most of the politicians in the Western world are hypocritical selfish people. This is also the meaning of Hermes' existence, isn't it?"

"yes."

Looking at Pidlov's innocent expression, Jace sighed deeply and then continued:

"But we have not essentially got rid of the impact of the so-called 'Western world' on us. Maybe we should absorb some Chinese people in, which is a beneficial impact on us-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wait, it's a bit far. In short, they want to save everyone, so they will never allow some elites to survive through consciousness uploads, because consciousness uploads actually represent the tendency of escapeism."

"Are there some escapees among us?"

Pidlov asked in confusion.

"Isn't Ark just? No, you want to tell me that before you joined Ark, you didn't even understand the basic concepts of Ark?"

“…I joined you.”

Hearing this, Jace felt that he was about to be so angry at this simple-minded hairy bear. He lit a cigarette again, took a few sips before finally recovering.

"...It's not important anymore. Anyway, according to the instructions from the superiors, we have to find a way to create certain resistance to them."

"BCI transmission technology has developed immaturely, and humans have not yet fully understood its role."

"Take this opportunity, we have to find a way to distract some of them and make them realize that BCI direct pass is not the only direction, so that they can convince them to distribute some of the resources to us."

"You're going to blow up their lab? That's what you're going to be involved in their next experiment??"

When Pidlov heard this, his expression became nervous. Although he has always been a person who uses any means for his purpose, according to his observations in recent years, he still has a good impression of Chinese people, so he naturally hesitated to take action against these people.

"...Of course not! Do I look like that stupid and bad guy?"

"Participating in the experiment is just to further confirm the results of this technology, and of course, to satisfy my own curiosity, but this is completely different from what we are going to do!"

"Didn't I say it? What we need to do is not to destroy the development of BCI direct transmission technology--and we must never slow it down. This is the technology that concerns all of us in the future!"

"What we need to do is to let them see the limitations of BCI technology in advance and to gain more opportunities for humans - don't confuse us with stupid politicians, our starting point is different."

"You read the report sent by the laboratory carefully. It is clear that this technology changes the stock of individual knowledge, not individual thinking ability."

"That is, those creative work are actually done by humans' own brains."

"Although experiments have proved that BCI technology can accelerate the speed of association between various knowledge to a certain extent, it does not mean that humans can create new speculations and associations based on this system."

"So, this is probably the limitation of BCI technology -- we have to find a way to verify this limitation."

"Once this limitation is proven, they have to rethink the resources they should invest in this technology."

After hearing Jace's words, Pidelov nodded as if he had understood it, and then asked:

“How to do it?”

"......You really can't help at all. Forget it, I'll contact me myself, just look at it."

.........

A few days later, under the control of the Hermes organization, a new view began to ferment in public opinion.

BCI transmission technology cannot truly improve human talent, and the problems facing human beings now actually require geniuses to solve.

Where is the way to break through adjacent dimensions? What is the principle of pumping machine theory? How should quantum ghosts be created?

All these questions related to the survival of human beings have no answers, and even under the existing knowledge system, there is not even a direction.

To find this direction, what humans need is not the integration and inheritance of the old knowledge system, but the exploration of new knowledge.

Exploring new knowledge requires strong thinking ability to support it.

Obviously, BCI transmission technology cannot do this, so its importance may not be as strong as expected at the beginning.

Of course, there are many refutations of this theory. Hermes obviously had expected such refutations, so they proposed a very traditional but interesting verification plan:

competition.

A contest for exploring new areas of knowledge.

Can an ordinary person who uses the BCI direct transmission technology defeat those talented geniuses in competitions covering literature, art, mathematics, logic, etc.?

The Hermes organization set up this arena through their spokespersons, and in China, it is not, China's BCI team, so it is necessary to conquer this arena.

Because they need to prove themselves to the controller of resources and to the people.

This is a completely new technical field. If you don’t prove yourself useful first, who would be willing to fully support your development?

Even if it is the most endorsed technology of "Suiren", even the most firm and confident official, it still needs some evidence.

So, after having corresponding communication with Ye Zhou, Chen Li's BCI team started running at full speed. In a very short time in the future, they will enter a full-load working state. Such work is just to prove one thing:

The real purpose of bci transmission technology is not what the Hermes organization lock thinks.
