A new year has begun.

Migrant workers who return home for the Chinese New Year rush to major cities from all over the country, the roads are full of traffic, the train and high-speed rail stations are crowded, and the ports and airports are endless, staging a scene of relocation.

And those companies that were shut down for the Spring Festival gradually recovered, and the machines on the site began to rumble.

After Chen Xu returned to Zhonghai, he plunged headlong into the artificial intelligence laboratory in Minxi District.

Animal experiments have already begun on brain chip implantation.

At first, it was used in mice, mainly for some brain tissue damage experiments.

It has now begun to be replaced with monkeys imported from Africa.

What is currently underway is brain-computer experimentation.

The monkey's skull is dissected, and a special miniature coil is implanted between the monkey's skull and the cerebral cortex, and the monkey becomes smarter by continuously transmitting data to the monkey's brain.

The principle of action is a series of hair-like micro-coils that continuously generate a strong, directional magnetic field to stimulate specific areas in the brain tissue.

Technology was "borrowed" from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been conducting brain-computer experiments since 2013, with the support of then-President T Omaba.

The initial goal of the experiment was to further enhance our understanding of the brain and to discover new ways to treat or prevent injuries such as Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, autism, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury.

However, due to the huge investment and slow progress of this experiment, after Omaba stepped down, the project was suspended and the experimental data was sealed.

After Xiaobai got the technology, it was improved and upgraded.

As of now, Xiaobai has performed brain-computer implantation surgery on 16 monkeys.

According to the test data, the IQ of the 16 monkeys in the first 16 monkeys after domestication was comparable to that of a seven-year-old human child.

After brain-computer implantation, the monkey's IQ has improved significantly.

For example, the monkey in front of me, nicknamed "Preserved Egg", opened its teeth and danced its claws when the experimenter in a white coat asked it to sit down.

Then the experimenter pressed the remote control in his hand, and the coil of the brain of the "preserved egg" began to continuously emit microcurrent, and the preserved egg rolled on the ground with his head in his arms.

"Sit down!" the experimenter commanded as he released the remote control.

Pidan immediately sat down obediently, his mouth cooing, and his eyes staring at the remote control in the experimenter's hand were full of fear.

Chen Xu: "......"

Ahem......

This is not an IQ test, it's just a normal domestication, and the preserved eggs are too naughty.

Its measured age is only 3 years old, which is not yet the adult standard of a monkey.

Yun Ling, the project leader who stood on the left side of Chen Xu, said: "The IQ test of the preserved egg before the coil implantation was almost 0, and it has reached the age of 4~5 years after the operation, which is very obvious. ”

Yun Ling, 28 years old, graduated from Johns Hopkins University for a Ph.D. degree, and the school's achievements in the field of life sciences even surpassed Harvard MIT for a time, ranking first in the world.

Yun Ling's research direction is actually genetics, and he interned at the Google Life Science Research Institute for a period of time before graduation, and returned to China after receiving an offer from the Xinghai Life Science Research Institute.

With Yun Ling's explanation, the experimenter asked the preserved egg to conduct an IQ test demonstration.

The content of the test includes the distinction between left and right. Ask the preserved egg to point out the right hand, left eye, and right ear in turn. If you make a mistake, start over, and ask to point to your left hand, right eye, and left ear.

Triangles are spelled into rectangles. Two rectangular pieces of paper of the same size, one of which is cut diagonally to form two triangles, and then the egg is asked to put the two triangles together to form the same as the other uncut rectangle.

Recognize 10 item names. Put the patterns of houses, cars, bananas, mobile phones and other items on the table, and then ask the preserved eggs to pick out the patterns according to the names of the objects said by the experimenter.

Distinguish between day and night. Place the sun and moon motif on the table, then ask the egg if it's day or night, and ask it to find the pattern.

Recognize 1~15 digits......

Except for the first mistake in the day and night sessions, the other links were completed very well.

This is already very, very powerful.

You must know that the preserved egg was only imported from Africa a month ago, and it was a wild monkey before, and it had not been specially trained.

After constantly inputting a large amount of information into the brain-computer port, the IQ of the preserved egg has been greatly improved in a short period of time.

......After the test was completed, Chen Xu applauded: "Not bad, not bad." ”

After a pause, Chen Xu asked Yun Ling, "How is the rest?"

Yun Ling said: "Most of the situation is similar, No. 11 Hu Dou's IQ has improved the fastest, has reached the standard of 8-year-old children, and now some of the behaviors he shows are similar to those of people." ”

Chen Xu was a little surprised when he heard this, "Oh, yes, take me over to have a look." ”

According to scientific research, the highest IQ of monkeys is comparable to that of a seven-year-old human child, which means that the intelligence of a monkey is like that of a seven-year-old child!

Of course, this is extremely rare.

And the IQ standard for 8-year-old children, this is definitely not something that can be achieved by training.

Under the leadership of Yun Ling, Chen Xu came to the No. 11 animal room.

Hu Dou is 7 years old this year and is a strong adult monkey.

It underwent a brain-computer implant operation a month and a half ago, and now the monkey hair on its head that was shaved off because of the operation has grown, and there are no longer obvious traces of surgery.

At this time, Hu Dou was squatting in the corner of the big iron cage and picking his nails, and after hearing the footsteps, he looked up, and then continued to lower his head and pick his nails.

The experimenter walked to the door and knocked on the cage and shouted, "Hu Dou." ”

The beans in the cage fell on deaf ears.

The experimenter took a banana from the hands of the entourage and knocked it on the stainless steel railing, and Hu Dou took aim at the banana and finally stopped picking his nails.

However, he did not move, but sat there and stretched out his hand to the experimenter, meaning: Give me the banana.

The experimenter took two pieces of paper with numbers written on them and said, "5 plus 5 equals 10, so which answer in my hand is wrong?"

Hu Dou stretched out his right hand and pointed to the experimenter's left hand, which was 9.

The experimenter took out two more sheets of paper with different answers written on them and asked the same question.

Hu Dou also gave the correct answer.

Three times in a row, and the difficulty has increased a lot.

All accurate!

"Now, reward you~" said the experimenter, throwing the banana to Hu Dou.

Chen Xu, who was standing on the side, was surprised.

Yun Ling sighed: "To be honest, I was a little incredulous at first, but Hu Dou's performance is really good, and I can't think of any other explanation except for the mutation of brain tissue under electromagnetic stimulation." ”

Chen Xu nodded and said, "Okay, continue to observe." Wait a while for a craniotomy to see if there are any changes in the brain tissue. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Dou, who was quietly eating bananas in the cage, suddenly jumped to the edge of the cage and smashed the half-eaten banana in his hand at him.

Chen Xu's reaction was quite quick, tilted his head slightly, and let go of the banana.

The experimenter standing in front of the railing was startled and quickly waved his hand to drive Hu Dou away.

Hu Dou didn't listen, still grinning at Chen Xu, and smashed the stainless steel railing with both hands.

The experimenter had no choice but to press the microcurrent stimulation remote control, and Hu Dou immediately let go of his hand and rolled on the ground with his head in his hands.

"Okay, okay~" Yun Ling asked the experimenter to stop, and then whispered to Chen Xu and said, "Don't say craniotomy in front of it, it will go berserk." ”

Chen Xu: "...... Got it. ”

……

In a blink of an eye, it was February 19th.

The case of Tengxun Holdings' smart device manufacturer suing Xingyu IoT Communications for infringement was tried in closed court in Shencheng Nanshan District.

Both sides have sent a strong team of lawyers.

In court, the barristers of the two sides engaged in a fierce confrontation, and they went back and forth, arguing with each other, and refused to give in to each other.

The legal team representing Tengxun presented some direct evidence of infringement, such as the intrusion data intercepted by the backend;

The legal team of Zhengfeng Technology also came up with rebuttal evidence, emphasizing that this is the user's personal behavior and has nothing to do with Zhengfeng Technology and Xingyu IOT Communication.

The trial was not completed on the same day, and the trial resumed next Monday.
