The lie detection mechanism can be traced back to 1870, when the Italian psychologist Angelo Mosso discovered that when a person is afraid or frightened, the pulse will change.
The earliest people used instruments to interrogate prisoners based on this mechanism.
In 1885, Mosuo's student Cesare Lombroso invented an instrument to measure the blood pressure of suspects and used it in interrogations to determine the authenticity of the suspect's words.
About forty years later, the same Italian psychologist, Vittorio Benussi, discovered that the ratio of inhalation to exhalation time changes when people lie.
Once again, the mechanics of the polygraph have changed.
Although polygraphs have been around for about 200 years, their accuracy relies purely on luck.
There is no rigorous enough experiment to prove that lie detectors are reliable.
Lie detection mechanisms based on the body's physiological responses are not as accurate as criminal psychology experts judging what suspects say. The above history about the lie detection mechanism shows that humans have a strong need to judge whether things are true or false.
But the previous mechanism was not reliable enough.
Just because polygraphs are unreliable doesn't mean people don't have this need.
When Kechuang Biotech's brain-computer-connected mobile phone came on the market, a certain Chinese official quickly realized that we might be able to make polygraph judgments through brain electroencephalograms.
Whether it can be done is another matter.
It is basic ethics to see the possibility and start doing it.
Subsequently, a certain ministry in China contacted Zheng Li. As a technical supporter, Zheng Li created a complete lie detection mechanism based on brain-computer connection technology.
This lie detection mechanism has passed rigorous blind selection experiments and has an accuracy rate of over 90%.
It has already been tried internally.
Later, based on this mechanism, Zheng Li developed the "Truth" system.
After listening to it, Li Miaomiao urged: "Hurry up and tell me what it is, don't be too pretentious.
Zheng Li: "The newly developed system is internally named the truth system.'
"The main content is to judge whether what you say or what you want to send out is what you believe is the truth.'
"And it's not a simple yes or no judgment.'
“It’s about judging the veracity of what they say based on points.”
“For example, my own personal experience is worth 100 points, then listening to someone else’s narration is worth 75 points, listening to someone else’s retelling is worth 50 points, and speaking out my imagination may only be worth 20 points.
“This system will be used on social media such as Weibo, Douyin, and Toutiao.”
After Zheng Li's truth system was implemented, the Chinese government was the happiest.
The public opinion field in China is too complicated, and all kinds of fake news emerge in endlessly.
You can make up news at will and cause an uproar.
With the truth system in place, at least not just any fabricated news will require the authorities to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate. Li Miaomiao quickly realized the great intrinsic value of the truth system and was able to fundamentally re-establish the trust mechanism.
She asked rhetorically: 'This system means a lot.'
“I still want to ask, its usage mechanism is based on one’s inner belief in one thing.
"Will the fluctuations in a person's heart affect him?'
"For example, I obviously don't believe that this thing is true, but I keep giving myself hints in my brain, telling myself that this thing is true.'
"Will this approach affect the final score of the truth system?'
Zheng Li said without hesitation: "Of course not, the truth mechanism requires repeated confirmation.
“It’s not as simple as a direct answer, it’s a complete system.
"The truth system was first applied to Weibo. For example, if you want to send a Weibo message, you use the truth system to authenticate the Weibo content.
"As a blogger, you, as a blogger, will repeatedly confirm the credibility of the facts about this Weibo, and will interrupt your train of thought through different questions.'
The classic mechanism of traditional polygraph detection is to use carefully designed questions to distract the polygraph subject from concentrating on key issues.
This mechanism is used in new technologies.
“Even experts with special anti-censorship training cannot hide from the trust mechanism.
"The most that can be achieved is an appropriate increase. For example, his trust level in this matter is only 50 points. Specially trained people can make the truth system increase by five points at most."
“This still requires the expert to know the inner workings of the truth mechanism. If he does not understand the inner workings, no matter how powerful the expert is, he can only increase the score by two or three points.
“Social media will gradually be connected to this system in the future.”
Li Miaomiao asked: "Similar to our current electronic signature technology?'
"It's equivalent to Kechuang Biotech judging the authenticity of content sent by users through brain-computer connection. Its authenticity is judged by a series of mechanisms based on brain nerve signals?'
"So we are the issuing party, just the middleman?'
Zheng Li: "Yes, you will see the system on major social media in the future."
"When it comes to current affairs news, there will be a Kechuang Biotech logo behind each piece of news, and the authenticity of the news is distinguished by color.'
"In the future, neither self-media nor the media will be able to make up news at will based on what they heard or heard.'
“Relevant people told me that if you don’t investigate, you have no right to speak. Subsequent media work will be rectified based on the truth system.
Li Miaomiao knew that this was undoubtedly a good thing for China.
Since the rise of self-media, traditional media has almost no way to survive.
One of the top ten traditional media outlets in China has a monthly profit of only 100,000 yuan, which is not as good as any blogger with over a million fans. This phenomenon is obviously bad money driving out good money.
Make up news and fabricate facts at will. The more exaggerated the facts, the more traffic they will attract.
There is no perfect accountability mechanism after being exposed, which makes self-media more rampant.
There are no longer reporters who can only work offline. A steady stream of news can be released while sitting at home. The more you dare to write, the more traffic you will get.
Conspiracy theories such as the Freemasons, the Rothschilds, and the Illuminati originated abroad, and then were chewed up and spread domestically by domestic self-media bloggers.
There are countless types of situations.
Since the legal working hours have not yet arrived, it is actually still during the Spring Festival holiday.
Therefore, Li Miaomiao didn't have much work. She came here first because she wanted to stay with Zheng Li for a while.
After Li Miaomiao listened, he kept thinking about the impact of the truth system.
She knew that after this thing came out, the impact would be dramatic and it would lead to huge changes in the public opinion field.
Even the chaos since the media era will be swept away.
But along with it, the interests of many individuals are affected.
In the past, you could make money by making up "news" at home, and you could talk all day about things you heard from friends, fans, and colleagues just by opening your mouth.
If we don’t investigate now and don’t go to the scene, we have no right to speak. This is equivalent to cutting off other people’s financial opportunities.
It will inevitably lead to a serious public opinion offensive for Science and Technology Biotechnology.
You must know that the most skillful thing for people engaged in self-media is to set the rhythm.
However, Li Miaomiao is not worried about this, because Kechuang Biotechnology's products do not worry about external resistance.
She worries about something else:
“Have you ever thought about what you should do if the people who issue the announcements for truth system certification don’t believe the government’s own announcements?
Zheng Li explained: "Chinese officials have considered this issue when building this system."
"It's the same for the government. They also need actual investigation and evidence before they can issue an announcement. The person who finally issued the announcement will follow the entire investigation process.'
"Instead of investigating and interviewing a group of people, it was another person who finally made the announcement."
Li Miaomiao nodded: "Actually, there is another problem. China's official media used to publish overseas news. In many cases, they directly reprinted reports from foreign media without checking the authenticity at all."
“After that, they have to conduct offline field investigations before they have the right to speak.
Foreign media also have a lot of fake news, and to some extent, it is no less than that of China.
Foreign media have fewer restrictions.
The two words that someone said the most in front of the camera back then were fake news.
Although it seems funny as a spectator, it is indeed true.
While RT battles brought reports on the front lines in the West, most Chinese media mainly reproduced them.
The Chinese media reported the other side's negative news but only lightly reprinted it, without the ability to dig deeper, and their combat effectiveness was completely weak.
"But originally, without investigation, there is no right to speak.'
Zheng Li knew what she was worried about. The impact of the truth system coming out would be too great.
There must be a lot of discussion outside.
Zheng Li: “We are only a technology provider, and the final implementation will be carried out by a subsidiary of a subordinate central enterprise and a joint venture with us.
"We will only have 30 percent of the shares."
“We won’t even be directly involved in running the company.
In this regard, Huaguo has a trying attitude and wants to see if it can use new technologies to solve long-standing problems.
Zheng Li is responsible for the development of the lie detector, which has performed very well in the past two years.
The truth system performed perfectly in testing, and its mechanism was approved by relevant experts.
Therefore, China is willing to try it.
As for the unwillingness of some individuals, they cannot stop the general trend.
Just like truck drivers are unwilling to be replaced by autonomous driving.
With the rapid advancement of autonomous truck technology, American truck drivers have been basically unemployed.
Compared with year-round self-driving technology, the cost-effectiveness of humans who need to eat, drink and relieve themselves is too low.
A very small number of truck drivers who have lost their jobs have even led to extreme incidents.
Due to the complicated territory of China and the European Union, there are still a few areas where truck drivers are needed.
The trend of technology cannot be rejected by individuals.
China's desire to establish a perfect trust mechanism is enough to overwhelm personal interests.
"In addition to the truth mechanism, are there any results that can be disclosed through cooperation with the authorities?"
Li Miaomiao's face was full of curiosity.
Zheng Li took out this thing without saying a word. She didn't even know that Zheng Li was responsible for developing the lie detectors that were being promoted in China.
China has been using lie detectors one after another, and some clues can be seen in official reports.
There is a lot of public discussion about this, because there have been almost no words related to polygraph in official reports before.
Because there is nothing about this thing that can prove its true reliability.
This move caused speculation among the outside world. Li Miaomiao heard them talk to external executives when they had dinner.
According to someone close to Tongtian, it was China that achieved a major technological breakthrough in the field of lie detection and reached the world's number one level.
When communicating its technology with the European Union, the other party directly proposed to introduce polygraphs from China.
Hua Guo's answer at the time was that this thing was not mature enough.
In fact, it is because the lie detector has language barriers and can only recognize Chinese language, just like the brain-computer connection.
Originally, the underlying mechanism of the lie detector was brain-computer connection technology.
Li Miaomiao did not think about Zheng Li at the time. Brain-computer connection and lie detection were completely two fields in the eyes of non-professionals. Zheng Li nodded and said: "Of course, but they both involve confidentiality requirements and are not convenient to disclose.
"But I can tell you it has something to do with magic.'
"But I can show you what magic is like."
After Zheng Li finished speaking, the water in the water glass on the desk in front of them began to float from the glass.
The pure water was like a ribbon flying in the air, from the cup to Li Miaomiao.
Then she formed a necklace of water around her neck, and then slowly returned to the cup.
Li Miaomiao's face turned red, and she pretended not to care and said, "Congratulations on mastering a magical skill to seduce girls.
"Did you learn this from the official magician of China?'
What Li Miaomiao didn't know was that none of the other mages in Blue Star knew this trick, only Zheng Li knew it.
It's just a simple magic hand, and it requires 10 magic coins to redeem it.
At present, no one in Blue Star is willing to spend so much magiccoin to exchange for a magic hand.
Zheng Li smiled and said: "Magic is a secret. I have never shown it to anyone except you."
“Just thinking about how hard you have worked these years, and how hard it will be in the foreseeable future, I will perform a little trick and hope you can be happy during the holidays.
Li Miaomiao's eyes were slightly red: "It's rare for a straight man like you to have a heart, thank you."
"It's a good performance. With this skill alone, I can go to the Spring Festival Gala to partner with Dong Qing.
Zheng Li: "Haha, don't tell others after watching it. This is confidential content."
"My performance for you has actually violated the confidentiality regulations.
“But I want this rare vacation to stop following those damn confidentiality rules.
Li Miaomiao nodded and said: "Don't worry, God knows and the earth knows that you know and I know.
"But it won't be discovered, right? China doesn't have a department like the Ministry of Magic, right?"
"They won't plant traces on you like in Harry Potter, which is a device that can detect whether you use magic.'
'You use magic and the Ministry of Magic will send someone to catch you, right?'
Li Miaomiao was worried that Zheng Li would be punished for performing for her.
Zheng Li comforted: "No, maybe there will be in the future, but not now.
"We are all just beginners in magic now, and we are still at a very superficial stage.
"If there is trace silk, then what I perform for you is not a flowing water necklace, but a flowing water phoenix.
