Now that he had found someone to help with the experiment, Xia Duo had no intention of hiding it from them. In response to the inquiries of these curious young people, he happily gave an explanation:
"This ring is what I call the [Inspiration Ring]. It is indeed intended to be a benefit for the future Masters of the Tower of Time, and is not limited to members of the academy.
"As for the purpose, you should all have used the learning machine, but the learning machine essentially asks me alone, and through the inspiration headband, the user's questions can be answered by all users, including me."
"so smart?!"
The new mages looked at the crystal headbands on their companions' heads in surprise one by one, and then a new question appeared again, "Then how to use this? Can we try it now?"
"It's not possible now, but when it becomes available for trial, I will definitely ask you to come over and be the first batch of trial users."
Xia Duo is not panicking about this. The current progress of completing the inspiration ring is limited to the ring itself. In fact, the spiritual network behind the ring is the key to this special magic weapon.
It is somewhat similar to the communication software on mobile phones. It can be opened when there is no network, but it is of no use. Only by cooperating with the network can it produce various practical effects.
The inspiration headband can also be regarded as the material carrier of the application of "Connecting to the Mind Network". Of course, the carrier alone is not enough, but also requires a complete mind network and the related deployment of the network itself.
When everything is ready, you must find some people to test it first. Finding these people is not a problem.
…
Although they were a little disappointed that Xia Duo said "not yet", they became happy again when they heard that they could still be among the first batch of trial users.
They did not waste the time after that. Although they were cooperating with the experiment, Xia Duo himself did not restrict what they could do. Some people took out the notebooks they carried with them and started studying on their own.
Soon the laboratory fell silent, and Xia Duo was sincerely relieved to see this scene. Almost 100% of these new mages were from civilians, and they were able to become apprentices because of the expansion of the Tower of Time.
The laziness problems he had discovered among the Tower of Time mages and the few members who had entered the society almost always occurred among people with good family backgrounds, and most of those from lower-class backgrounds did not disappoint him.
Looking at these young people who have turned on the immersive learning mode, Xia Duo can completely capture their strongest expressions at the moment through the inspiration headbands they wear. No one is pretentious, they are all thinking seriously or memorizing their notes. content on.
Infected by this group of young people, Xia Duo couldn't help but speed up the experiment, and continued to ask the twenty subjects subconscious questions through his brain.
The intensity increases from low to high, until most people can feedback a relatively complete thinking process or thinking pattern, and this is the lowest level of subconscious sharing that Sha Duo is exploring——
There is only a relatively complete thinking model.
However, through observation, Xia Duo found that these thinking patterns were not fixed, but would switch according to different questions asked. They were generally one of the seven meta-thinkings that he had summarized when he studied the intellectual brain.
Human consciousness is composed of a large number of meta-thinkings, and personality can be regarded as "the combined characteristics of meta-thinking" to a large extent.
Then the next stage of Xia Duo's experiment in making the inspiration headband is about to begin - using the brain to create a preliminary consciousness model framework in the mind network!
The more people wear inspiration headbands, the more meta-thinking will be filled into the framework of the consciousness model. When the number reaches a certain level, they will have intelligence that far exceeds that of real people!
And this is the complete form of the inspiration headband system envisioned by Chateau.
Of course, to be perfect, the body of the headband needs to be omitted, but by then he will consider introducing mind-sealing spells or meditation training to protect the right of refusal of users of the psychic network.
However, it is too far away to say this now. Xia Duo is not sure whether the current number of mages in the Tower of Time can "activate" an artificial consciousness with higher intelligence in the spiritual network!
If not, then at the current stage, he still needs to use his intellectual brain or body to participate as the "algorithm core". Otherwise, if there are a bunch of discrete meta-thinkings, no matter how many, they cannot form intelligence, it means there is no intelligence.
…
Soon, an hour passed.
After receiving the [Magic Hour] reminder, Xia Duo coughed twice and woke up the new mages who were immersed in independent learning, "The time is up, you can go back!"
"It's so fast, I still feel like I just came here."
"Me too."
…
"Okay, stop procrastinating, put the inspiration ring on the experimental table next to it, and go back quickly!"
And just after Xia Duo drove away this group of new mages who still had some unfinished ideas, in less than five minutes, the second group of volunteer subjects arrived outside the laboratory door.
Just like the previous batch, they were briefly explained the experimental process and then allowed them to move around freely. Of course, they were also forced to answer some questions from curious babies.
In this way, a total of four batches of volunteers were used, and Xia Duo ended the experiment. Although the consciousness characteristics of eighty people cannot completely cover everyone in the Tower of Time, the number of samples is still quite large. If there are special cases in the future, Just special treatment.
It is impossible for him to wait until everything is perfect before starting to use it. That is unrealistic. It is normal to improve while using it.
…
Later, when designing the consciousness model framework, Xia Duo's research in this area was much easier because there were ready-made results obtained from the study of the brain that could be used. As long as there was a rough framework, he could continue to improve it later.
Anyway, the current spiritual network also uses the intelligent brain as the "algorithm core". Even if there is no additional artificial consciousness, it will not affect the use of the inspiration ring.
It's just that artificial consciousness is also accumulating experience for the future, and Xia Duo will not deliberately give up if he has the opportunity to do it.
…
In this way, including the time to prepare the inspiration ring, it was almost at the end of January that Xia Duo completed the trial test and conducted a small-scale internal test within the Institute.
Of course, the twenty people he initially agreed to participate in the trial are among them, because he has prepared a hundred inspirational headbands this time, and should be able to test a more obvious effect.
It’s noon this day.
After lunch, all the Tower of Time mages who had received the invitation to try out the Inspiration Ring rushed to a rest square in the research area of the Floating City in groups.
In addition to the invitees themselves, the trial scene was also felt by some people who heard the news and became interested in the inspirational headband.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was very lively, Xia Duo called Dean to his side and whispered a few words, "After the trial test is completed, everyone present can now experience it on their own. At that time, please be careful to maintain order and don't make trouble." Something happened that hurt everyone's friendship."
"Well, I'll pay attention."
