"This is too difficult to do. The current brain-computer connection technology can only recognize very basic brain instructions, and it needs to be combined with eye tracking technology."
“I don’t see any hope in ten years of getting machines to fully recognize the brain’s primary intent, which is what you want to achieve.”
"It even has to reproduce the entire complete logic of the brain into electrical signals. If it can be done, it will be no less than virtual reality in fantasy works."
Zheng Li did not refuse or object to Hua Guo's request. He responded to more senior people and said that he needed to know more about magic before he could make a judgment.
After several days of discussion, the Chinese side decided to open a relatively low-secret base for him to visit, and there were corresponding mages to receive Zheng Li.
China's research bases are directly physically isolated, and biocloud technology cannot invade these places.
However, Zheng Li's clone came to the scene and told a different story. After Zheng Li copied the entire base's data, he found that China's progress in magic was much slower than he thought.
In fact, this base does not undertake many research tasks. The information here is only a small part of China's research information.
After Zheng Li communicated with the mage from China on the spot, he even knew the cosmic coordinates of which living planet the magic brain used by the mage in front of him corresponded to.
"Mr. Zheng, since I am not an expert in the field of brain science, I don't know much about this field."
"But judging from my experience using your futureverse, it has been able to perfectly recognize some of my thoughts."
“Are the ten-year expectations a bit pessimistic?”
In China's expectation, a base will be established on Mars in ten years.
The mage who talked to Zheng Li was an expert in the field of mathematics and had a very humble attitude.
In fact, even if he is an expert in the biological field, there are too many subdivisions. He only specializes in his own small area of research and does not have a deep understanding of brain-computer connection.
There is at least a ten-year technological generation gap between the research fields of China's top experts in the field of brain-computer connection and the latest laboratory results of Science and Technology Biotechnology.
Zheng Li planned to explain it simply:
"Humanity's research on the brain is at a very shallow level, and the history of brain-computer connection can be traced back fifty years ago."
“Kechuang Biotechnology’s brain-computer connection technology is the culmination of the past fifty years, but we have already realized all the functions that are easy to implement.”
"Just like mathematics, I am a mathematics major, and I also have a deep understanding of mathematics. Most of the topics that are easy in mathematics have been studied by predecessors."
"The rest are very difficult to pick fruits. The research results of today's top mathematicians are actually no less than those of their predecessors and no less than those of the last century."
"It's just that with today's cutting-edge basic mathematics, if you want to achieve results, there is no easy task."
"The same is true for brain-computer connection. We have done the easy part, and the rest is exponentially more difficult."
"Ten years is already an optimistic estimate."
Just like nuclear weapons and semiconductors, semiconductors are more difficult to develop.
Semiconductors are a whole system. Nuclear weapons are equally difficult, but the systems involved are not as complex as semiconductors.
It’s not that nuclear weapons are simpler because China has developed them.
The brain-computer connection is the same. In fact, electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, and headphones are the same system as the brain-computer connection VR.
These electronic products embody human-computer interaction, and electronic signals become human feelings.
For things like sight and hearing that are easy to achieve, Blue Star's companies have already had some tricks up their sleeves.
The difficult senses of touch, taste and smell have been delayed.
The brain-computer connection technology of Kechuang Biotechnology has taken a big step forward in terms of touch, but it is still far away from the virtual reality world in science fiction works.
"And we have registered the technology patents. After the technical barriers were formed, Musk's Neuralink wanted to open up another path, but no good results have been achieved until now."
It was rare for Zheng Li to say so much.
The other party nodded: "Just like the technology of semiconductors has been iterated every two or three years before, now it has been four years and 3nm technology has still not achieved mass production."
...
In the end, Zheng Li stayed in China and did not go to the Lion City again.
It was not because of Hua Guo's persuasion, but because the information he received showed that if he returned to the Lion City, Amerikan might take action in the future.
He couldn't give up this vest easily yet, so Zheng Li took the opportunity to stay in the country.
He spends most of his time in the R&D center in Suzhou.
As for the cooperation with Hua, Zheng Li agreed. The information he had previously disclosed to Hua officials was also correct.
If Zheng Li doesn't bring out the technology of mage civilization to achieve the desired effect by relying on brain-computer connection technology, it will take at least ten years.
Therefore, Zheng Li simply semi-frozen the clone in China and let the junior artificial intelligence take over the clone.
To advance the work according to the established plan, he planned to focus on Clark Island first.
During the time when Zheng Li returned to China, Apple announced the news that they had dug up the first magic coin.
For this magic coin, Apple even held a press conference at the Steve Jobs Theater at the Spaceship headquarters.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening everyone. It is an honor to announce this news to you."
“From the time they learned about the magic coin system and confirmed the existence of magic, Apple immediately formed a research team headed by Professor Terence Tao and Professor Alexei Filippenko.”
Alexey Filipenko is a professor of astronomy at Berkeley, where he has taught for forty years.
At the same time, he is also the general person in charge of the Katzmann Automated Imaging Telescope project of Amerikan.
As a top expert in the field of astronomy, Alexei is one of the few experts outside who has not been officially summoned by Amerikan.
"Specialized in the mining of magic coin."
"We all know that there is an extremely sophisticated and perfect system behind magic coin."
"You need to find a planet where life may exist, and then calculate its cosmic coordinate system, and then the cosmic coordinate system needs to be equal to the Heiber constant after calculation through the Heiber algorithm."
"This process is very difficult. There are countless planets in the universe. The only planet we can confirm the existence of life is the blue star under my feet."
"But everyone knows that Blue Star corresponds to a magic coin, so Blue Star's magic coin has long been redeemed."
"Apple's official research team spent more than two years calculating the cosmic coordinate systems of more than two thousand suspicious planets."
"Finally, a planet that satisfies the Heber algorithm was found in the Andromeda Galaxy, which is 2.54 million light-years away from the Blue Star."
"At the same time, we obtained the naming rights for this planet from the International Astronomical Union."
"This is the best reflection of Apple's technological strength. Apple will continue to provide everyone with the most advanced technological products and user experience in the days to come."
"Let's watch a video next."
The video shows an empty room with only white color and lights.
Then, a test tube appeared out of thin air on the table in the white room and was firmly fixed in the center of the table.
This video is only fifteen seconds long.
After the video ended, Cook appeared again:
"It's amazing, isn't it? The first time I saw it, I thought it was a computer-generated special effects video."
"But this is real. It was shot by the Apple 16pro camera that has not been released yet, without any editing."
"Although space teleportation seems magical and incredible, it really happened."
"I was on the scene and saw this scene unfold with my own eyes."
"Besides, your guess is correct. The blue liquid in this test tube is the Demon Brain, the Demon Brain produced by Merlin."
"Creations that do not belong to this world are transported from Merlin space to the location designated by us."
"A creation unknown to mankind, a means of transmission that mankind knows but cannot implement."
"After being injected with the magic brain, people can have magic. You can have magic like Merlin."
"This is a press conference, and it is also a recruitment invitation sent by Apple to people with lofty ideals around the world."
"Blue Star sincerely invites scientists from all over the world. If you want to get magic, please submit your resume to Apple's official email."
"If you pass the resume screening, you will go to the next step. The person who is finally selected will receive the Magic Brain and become Apple's chief scientist."
"We'll wait for you here."
Apple’s previous chief scientist was Larry Tesler. After his death in 2020, Apple has not had a next chief scientist.
There is only one demon brain, so it is too difficult to distinguish.
Cook is just a professional manager, he does not have this power.
Even Amerikan officials, who knew the inside story, would not allow Cook to use the Magic Brain.
American officials covet this magic brain very much.
If it were not Apple, but another company with a smaller scale and less famous reputation, Amerikan officials would directly levy the tax.
Not Apple.
Behind Apple are Silicon Valley elites on the West Coast and Wall Street giants on the East Coast. These people will not let this magic coin be snatched away by Amerikan officials.
In their view, this is a necessity for them to balance the forces in Washington.
It can't just be the big guys in Washington controlling the brains and mages. If the future is truly an era of magic, Silicon Valley and Wall Street must also have their voices heard.
As for the right to use this magic coin, the shareholders behind Apple already have a candidate.
Cook's speech at the press conference was just a cover. The other purpose was that Apple and Amerikan, where it is located, needed to attract the world's top scientists.
Because when scientists reach a certain level, no matter what their major, even if they are scientists majoring in biochemical and environmental materials in China, their salary can meet their material needs.
What others can't offer is the best bargaining chip.
Magic Brain is the best advertisement Apple has ever done for itself. The live broadcast was watched by more than 100 million people that day.
After the press conference, the video was uploaded to YouTube, and the total views of similar videos exceeded 500 million.
The whole world is discussing this first magic coin.
Less than an hour after the press conference ended, someone on the dark web issued a reward of up to 10,000 BTC, which is 1 billion yuan.
The next day, when Nasdaq opened, Apple soared more than 16% before the market opened, and its market value officially crossed the three trillion yuan mark.
The most popular question on Zhihu that day was: “How do you evaluate Apple’s announcement that it has mined the first magic coin disclosed to the outside world, and that its market value has exceeded the three trillion yuan mark?”
"Thank you for the invitation. As an employee of a major domestic Internet company, I feel very ashamed.
I don’t know how many people still remember the stock market crash two years ago. At that time, a picture was circulated in China.
In 2020, Apple's market value is equivalent to the sum of the market values of Chinese Internet companies such as Goose Factory, Ali, Meituan, JD.com, and Pinduoduo minus 19.27 billion yuan.
In 2022, Apple’s market value will be 10,000 more than the combined market value of nearly fifty Chinese Internet companies including Goose Factory, Ali, Pinduoduo, Meituan, JD.com, NetEase, Qiandu, Dami, Weilai, and Xiaopeng. Two hundred billion yuan.
The combined market value of the five companies was 1,770.35 billion yuan more than that of the five companies two years ago.
And now two years have passed, and this picture has not been updated. I guess it will be updated soon. If you don’t include Kechuang Biotech, the situation is almost the same as two years ago.
Apple's market value has increased from 1.2 trillion yuan to 1.5 trillion yuan more than the combined market value of China's top 50 Internet companies.
The market value that other major Internet companies lacked was made up by Goose Factory and Rice.
As for why the market value of Goose Factory and Rice has been able to grow significantly, it depends on the brain-computer connection VR jointly developed with Kechuang Biotech and the good performance of Rice Auto.
These are heavily dependent on Kechuang Biotech’s innovations in underlying technologies, such as brain-computer connection and lithium metal cathode technology.
Having said that, I see that Apple, as a company that has been established for almost fifty years, has experienced ups and downs and still remains aggressive in research and development.
I sincerely admire you for being the first company to mine magic coins and have magical capabilities.
Although Apple mobile phones have become less and less desirable in recent years, Apple has never had any revolutionary products.
The most surprising product in the field of electronic products in recent years is the Futureverse made in China. Apple cars and Apple VR have repeatedly delayed sales.
But this time Apple dug up magic coin, which gave me a new understanding of Apple’s strength.
In the fields they care about, Apple is still a research and development giant, and it still shows its strength that impresses the world.
Although Goose Factory and Rice seem to have done some work in the past two years, they rely on Kechuang Biotech, and the underlying technology is made by Kechuang Biotech.
If Chinese Internet companies only stay on the evolution and update of business models, they will not be able to adapt to the development of the times.
In addition, going back to Apple's press conference yesterday, it was obvious that it was flexing its muscles.
At the same time, invitation letters are sent to scientists around the world. If you think you are qualified, you can come to Apple and give it a try.
If Apple can mine the first magic coin, it can mine the second magic coin.
Apple can take this opportunity to recruit a large number of top scientists from around the world, and magic coin has an appeal that cannot be matched by other conditions.
With the participation of a large number of scientists, Apple's future will be unpredictable, and it may reach its next peak.
In addition, Apple is quite courageous in disclosing the existence of Magic Coin. There must be many people watching Magic Brain secretly.
The right to use Magic Brain has not been determined for a long time. I even suspect that Apple’s headquarters will be purchased for zero yuan. "
