For the people of the 21st century, the real world and virtual world were only defined by a thin line. This was especially true after the introduction of virtual reality helmets.
Jiang Chen brought Doctor Amos’ research work and paper back to the apocalypse and handed it to Lin Lin.
Lin Lin opened her digitalized eyes and used ten minutes to digest the content of the paper, then she sighed.
“Regardless of the era, there will always be geniuses.”
“What do you think about this paper… and the technology?” Jiang Chen asked.
“It’s perfect.”
Even Lin Lin, who did not have the most humble attitude, praised the technology.
As to what happened when Jiang Chen put on the helmet, let’s set the time back by two hours.
…
Jiang Chen opened his eyes.
No, precisely speaking, the robot’s head on the table opened its eyes.
He saw Doctor Amos, himself with the helmet, the mirror in front of him, and himself in the mirror.
“Neural connection! And the more advanced spiritual connection! Don’t you think it is fascinating? God. I feel like I’m a wizard from the Middle Age that could implant a person’s soul into a doll…”
“This is truly fascinating… could you deactivate this state for me?”
The speaker and not his vocal cord made the sound, it was a magical experience. But even then, the empty feeling below his neck made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
“Don’t worry, this thing won’t last long.” Amos opened his hands and shrugged.
The voice died down and Jiang Chen’s vision was cutout with his consciousness returning to his body, he took off the helmet on his head. He threw the helmet aside and immediately asked.
“What is going on here?”
“Because of the large amount of data that must be processed, even Dragon Calvary X1 could only last half a minute. I considered using my design to increase the efficiency of the processing, but it is not my field of expertise. Perhaps it is more feasible to simplify the code of the operating system to increase the efficiency…” Amos let out a sigh.
Doctor Amos clearly didn’t realize what kind of terrifying technology he created.
Jiang Chen was uncertain if the technology existed in the apocalypse.
Therefore, he brought Amos’ research work and paper back to the apocalypse to see Lin Lin.
But the response he received made him even more stunned.
“In my memory, the technology didn’t even exist before the war. As you should know, the Scientific Ethics Committee conducts technical reviews of all research institutes, if any of which is proven to be anti-human or may be used as ‘low-cost terror attacks’ research would been banned, such as antimatter or digitalized humans… They are just like medieval magistrates, except that the Bible is a universally recognized universal value. ”
Lin Lin then took a moment to think before she continued.
“Transcribing your mind onto the circuit board obviously has violated the relevant regulations and will surely be stopped when it is discovered … Of course, this is not absolute. My father, for example, started with support from a PAC Consortium and started an inhumane research project. Perhaps it might be stored in a non-public lab?”
According to Lin Lin’s introduction, the principle of Doctor Amos’s research results was actually very simple.
Most Phantom Helmets used Xin’s quantum computer as processor with itself only as a “modem” for both neural and electrical signals. In theory, as long one gained the access right to change the helmet operating system, it is not impossible to use other supercomputers as a server.
Based on this theory, Doctor Amos used the chip of the robot to act as the “server” for the Phantom Helmet. The Phantom will read the signal sent out by the human brain and return to the ultra-chip on the robot’s brain while accepting the feedback from the chip and sending back to the human brain.
Regular chips definitely can’t process such a large amount of information, but the ultra-chip can.
Precisely speaking, Dragon Calvary X1 can!
While it sounded simple on paper, there were many difficulties in the execution. Therefore, Doctor Amos received praise from Lin Lin despite never having met him before just because of the execution. While he was standing on the giant’s shoulder, he saw the scenery even the giant has never seen before.
Just wear a helmet, keep the signal connection, and one could survive in the form of a robot. Only limited by technical problems, the Dragon Cavalry X1 ultra-chip also couldn’t process for a long time. Perhaps when the Dragon Cavalry XN is released could the problem be solved.
However, this problem was actually nothing for Jiang Chen.
After all, the gap between the apocalypse and the modern world, even an ordinary home computer processor computing efficiency was far superior than the super-chip Dragon Cavalry X1.
Did Jiang Chen know clearly the implication of this technology?
Disabilities, aging, and terminally ill people could wear their helmets or put their brains more directly into the culture tank as long as their brains are intact and live in this world with their digitalized bodies. As long as the signal is good, people who are physically deficient can even be healthier than normal people!
High-risk, high-intensity work can be done by the robot, but the direct manipulation of the human brain makes the robot equipped with human resilience and creativity. Robots that connect their mind to their circuit boards will have a much broader application prospect than robots that are good at repetitive operations!
Not only in civil areas but also war applications!
Imagine that a paratrooper is not a flesh-and-blood human, but a robot warrior controlled by a “helmet player.” They are not afraid of bullets, nor do they even fear death itself. They could rampage in the battlefield covered by heavy artillery… Of course, perhaps an EMP or wide-area electromagnetic shielding can make them break down as electronic warfare is their weakness. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why soldiers of the flesh were not replaced by drones even in the Third World War.
Of course, the technology was still in its infancy. It was still far from allowing humans to control robots like the way they control their body, there was a long way to go. And this route may not be shorter than the warp engine Jiang Lin was still working on.
When Jiang Chen returned to the modern world, he came to see Doctor Amos again and put ten chips inside a metal box in his hands.
Amos looked at Jiang Chen, puzzled.
“This is?”
“A chip that is superior to the Dragon Calvary X1 in every aspect; it is still in its testing phase,” Jiang Chen said.
“Testing phase… is this useable?”
“Why don’t you try? I can guarantee you one point; that is that the computation efficiency of this chip is at least ten times the Dragon Calvary X1.”
It was the chip for the Reptile drone after all. It was superior both in the chip process technology and design. It was at least ten generations ahead of the early 21st century graphene chips.
Amos stared at Jiang Chen in bewilderment as he exclaimed.
“God… how much more stuff do you have?”
“I don’t how as much good stuff as God has, but I still have more. Do you want to know where the chip is from?” Jiang Chen looked at him with a grin.
Amos shook his head with determination.
“No need, I feel like if I know about this secret, I probably won’t be able to leave this basement.”
A wise choice.
Jiang Chen smiled and didn’t continue with the topic. He patted him on the shoulder.
“If you used all the chips, report it to through Jean and someone will send you more chips. I have confidence in you. I also believe this technology will change the world!”
