Chapter 1082: Qigong

Blinking, Tang Jiayi asked curiously, "Can I take a look?"

"Of course," Atletico smiled, "you're my wife, and of course you're entitled to know that." ”

Mrs. Ma couldn't be moved by the stars in her eyes, but the guy then threw out another sentence, "Besides, the research team has already published a paper on the official website, and it makes no sense to keep the basic content secret." ”

Hearing this, her whole person suddenly felt bad, "Forget it, I'll go directly to the official website of the research institute to see it." ”

Atletico shrugged, "Whatever you want." ”

Based on the consideration of seizing the right to speak, academic competitions, attracting talents, etc., the research departments of technology companies regularly disclose their research results. International companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Facebook are naturally leaders in this area, and bees are not lagging behind, publishing a considerable number of papers every year.

If it is a project cooperated with domestic and foreign scientific research institutions, the results are usually translated into English and published in professional SCI journals, but if the project is independently promoted by the Institute itself, it is often published directly on its own official website in scientific and technical English, which is concise and easy to understand, which is still not as friendly as the native language for domestic researchers.

Sure enough, Tang Jiayi soon found this paper on the official website of the Bee Research Institute: "Synaesthesia Synesthesia Technology Realization Based on New BMI Interface". Looking at the second line of the page, the publication time was yesterday afternoon, and the number of readings was less than two hundred, which made her secretly relieved that what she got was not old news.

The paper is written in detail, introducing the process of developing the auditory-visual-tactile synesthesia system by the Bee Brain team, and also gives the schematic diagrams, experimental diagrams and physical photos of the two new auxiliary display devices, so that those who are interested can reproduce the relevant experiments according to the schematic diagrams. Of course, science knows no borders, technology has secrets, and there is no mention of specific parameters of components, and others need to be "optimized" again.

After a quick glance, Tang Jiayi nodded secretly, there are still dry goods in this paper, and she couldn't help but sigh regretfully: "It's a pity, it's a bit of a waste to send it to the official website like this." ”

"It doesn't matter," Atletico Madrid didn't care, "The rank judgment of the research institute doesn't look at SCI, and it doesn't matter whether you vote for official journals or not." ”

"Even if we don't want it, don't the professors and graduate students of those universities need it? Wasn't it all very pleasant to work together before, why did you do it yourself this time?"

If you want to evaluate professors and senior engineers in China, you need to accumulate a considerable number of research papers, especially those published in authoritative academic journals. To evaluate the authority of a journal, it is to see whether it is included in citation databases such as SCI (science), SSCI (social science), A&HCI (arts and humanities), EI (engineering), etc.

There are 55 million professional and technical personnel in China, the largest in the world, but the number of journals included in several major databases is only more than 10,000, and the vast majority of them are English journals, and the "internal competition" is quite fierce. In the past, for the purpose of using external intellectual resources, the Bee Research Institute often carried out cooperative research with universities and state-owned scientific research institutions, and the results were jointly published in professional journals.

Atletico pouted, "It's not Springer's pig teammates who are harmed!"

Two months ago, the German publishing house Springer issued a retraction statement, announcing the retraction of more than 100 papers published in its "Tumor Biology" journal, citing peer review fraud.

Similar mass retractions have happened before, but not on the same scale as this one. Since most of the retracted papers came from mainland doctors, the domestic media carried out a series of reports on the incident, which set off a big storm.

Springer is the world's largest scientific publishing house with a history of 175 years, but Tumor Biology is a rather marginal third-tier journal, as evidenced by the fact that they require authors to recommend reviewers while also charging $1,500 per article.

As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs, this German SCI journal was quickly favored by paper distribution agencies, and became an important part of their paid distribution business, serving many mainland doctors who urgently need to improve their professional titles. The editorial team is naturally unaware of the fact that their journal is loved by authors from a certain country, and the reason why they waited until this year to attack it was because they had just lost the magazine.

Their cooperation with the copyright owner ISOBM expired last year, and "TB" is now published and operated by SAGE in the United States. The new journal was published in January, and Springer issued a large-scale retraction statement in April, and the intention of flipping the table and smashing the sign was very obvious. Hundreds of mainland doctors will be involved in academic fraud in one go, and the brand of "TB" magazine will soon stink, and it is a high probability that authors dare not submit articles and SCI will suspend its collection.

This incident was originally just a retaliation between the publishers of scientific and technological journals, but it attracted media attention because it involved a large number of mainland doctors, which really made the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Health and Family Planning Commission, and the China Association for Science and Technology lie down.

The media has reported one after another, even if Tang Jiayi didn't pay attention to it, and a lot of relevant information was stuffed into her eyes, so she naturally wouldn't be unfamiliar with the names of the parties involved, "Springer lifted the table, what does it have to do with you?"

"Why doesn't it matter?" Atletico smiled and poked his finger at the other party's smooth forehead, "This is a brain-computer interface! Submit it to an EI journal, do you think the reviewers over there can understand it?"

"Ahem!" Realizing that she had made a mistake of common sense, Tang Jiayi coughed a few times.

"Isn't it?" After a pause, she quickly found the problem, "Even if this incident affects the editors and reviewers of medical journals and makes them more cautious when reviewing mainland papers, but the Bee Research Institute is not an unknown person, and they can't always reject the manuscript, right?"

"It's not a bad idea to reject a manuscript, but it's a good idea to be slower than usual, and you may have to wait until the reproduction experiment is successful. As for Gui'e's journal, they are busy self-examining and correcting, cleaning up and rectifying, and they still don't cause trouble to others," Atletico shook his head, "Directly post it on their official website, and they can also earn a wave of PV." ”

Tang Jiayi naturally knows that PV or something is just her husband's casual jokes, and professional papers have almost no drainage ability, hoping that this thing will attract popularity and increase clicks, it is definitely a matter of seeking fish.

"Hey!" sighed, she said a little melancholy: "If you don't engage in quantitative assessment, you have to talk about human feelings and look at qualifications, but if you really quantify, it has become the current situation again." ”

"No way, that's the way it is, there is never a shortage of smart people in the world, and even the perfect system can be found by them. In particular, this kind of money-related system is more likely to be targeted and 'optimized'. ”

"Poof!" Tang Jiayi was amused by Atletico Madrid's statement, "What those paper agencies do is really similar to SEO and ASO, and the management department should look to you Internet companies to learn from it." ”

SEO (search engine optimization) is aimed at the inclusion rules of search engines, the goal is to make the website or product more advanced in the search results, (app store optimization) is a new business that has emerged in recent years, and the target is replaced by a smartphone app store, which is somewhat similar to e-commerce SEO.

"It's different," Atletico continued to shake his head, "the creators, executors, and beneficiaries of the search rules are all in the same family, and you can upgrade the rules at any time if you need to." It takes 14 years for a film law to be prepared and officially promulgated, and the evaluation of professional titles involves more people and interests, and it will only take more time. ”

Hearing him mention the film law, Tang Jiayi remembered one thing and asked casually: "By the way, didn't you say that you don't need censorship to make movies? Why do you still send the AI war two-part series to the General Administration for review?"

"What has been canceled is only the project review, and the pre-release review is still there. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome if we don't clear the mines in advance now, and when the shooting is finished, people won't give it?"

"Well, really," she sighed, "what should I do next?

"Well," Atletico nodded, "I'll find someone to see in a few days, and if there's nothing going on, I'll have to hand it over to Thomas Pictures." ”

"Just Thomas's little stall, can you do it?"

A few years ago, Jiajing Film and Television successively acquired several small companies in North America and integrated them into one, which served as the company's overseas copyright operation platform, which is now Thomas Pictures. The scale of this company is completely incomparable with Legendary Pictures, which was acquired by Wanda for 23 billion, and there are only more than 30 low-budget B-grade films under its name.

There are at least 100 companies of the same size in Hollywood, and Thomas Pictures is only slightly better than the "One Piece Pictures" that disbanded after one or two films. Jiaying tinkered with this company, the purpose is also to use this vest to help distribute Chinese films to North America, and then acquire the Chinese version of the film and television works there, and even the adaptation rights, and then centrally license them to Bee Video.

In the five years since its establishment, Toying's production business has remained low, and the number of films shot every year is in the million-dollar range, which is not cheap. Atletico Madrid's intention to use such a platform to operate a mid-range production of tens of millions of dollars is really risky.

"Yes," Atletico Madrid was quite confident, "no matter how bad the level is, it will be their own people after all." With them watching, you can use outside producers and directors with confidence. ”

"That's right," Tang Jiayi nodded, pointed to the picture on the screen and said, "This thing, is that blind glasses you said?"

"Well, it's just an experimental prototype," Atletico nodded, picked up his phone and logged in to his account, and found another set of pictures, "Ah, this is the new version, with a 3D printed shell, it's almost visible." ”

A hard helmet appears in the middle of the screen, and a circle of camera modules is embedded around it, which looks like a bit of anime black technology.

Although she knew that these cameras were useful, Tang Jiayi couldn't help but laugh, "Who designed it?"

Atletico Madrid's old face flushed, "Prototype products, just be able to show the effect." ”

"Oh," Tang Jiayi nodded, "It looks like a 'jewel ball (bee VR camera)', will you see a 360-degree field of view when you wear it?"

"The camera is not as flexible as the human eye, so I have to make up for it with numbers," Atletico nodded, "The system stitches together the camera images to form a stereo field of view and automatically mark and filter various objects, and finally output them to the user through the brain-computer interface, but only 180 degrees." ”

"Why? It's such a waste!"

"Mainly to facilitate processing, the development team is looking for ways to optimize and prepare to gradually reduce the number and size of the side rear cameras. ”

"Oh. So how does it work now? With so many cameras, can you see the text clearly? Is it colorful?"

Hearing this, Atletico Madrid hurriedly shook his head, "Your requirements are too high, with the current low-pixel black and white images, you can't even see people's faces clearly, you can only distinguish people and dogs according to their body type, and there is a high false alarm rate and missing alarm rate for outdoor use, which needs to be optimized." ”

False alarms and false alarms are both terms in the field of radar, and today they are widely used in the field of signal monitoring. As the name suggests, the false alarm is because the noise signal is too strong, causing the detection system to mistake it for the target signal, but the missed alarm is the opposite, the target signal is too weak, and it is excluded as a noise signal. The real environment is full of various sources of infection, and these two phenomena cannot be avoided, and can only be suppressed to the lowest possible level by improving equipment and upgrading algorithms.

"In other words, this thing is not ready to be listed for the time being?"

"No," Atletico dismissed speculation, "we plan to put these two products on Kickstarter, and if they order more than 1,000, they will start production." ”

"Why KS? Why don't you go to Bee Crowdfunding?"

The latter shook the corners of his mouth and put on a helpless expression, "No way, legal reasons." Lao Mei is not prohibited by law, and this truly new species will not encounter too many legal restrictions. We can't do it here, after all, this thing involves brainwave writing and psychological suggestion, self-hypnosis, and it also involves more mysterious things such as internal power meridians, which is more controversial, and the legal team is still advancing, wait ......"

Hearing Atletico Madrid's mention of self-hypnosis, Tang Jiayi frowned slightly, stretched out her hand and interrupted: "Wait!"

"What's wrong?"

Bowing her head to organize the language, she said slowly: "I said how do you feel familiar, it turns out that someone else played with it thirty years ago." Isn't that what I just saw a delusion?"

"There are references, but we're real. ”

More than 30 years ago, there was a "qigong fever" in the land of China, and the National Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine established a qigong research laboratory in 83, and then established a master's degree in qigong in 86, seriously studying qigong, special functions and even the so-called human science.

The official "advocacy" is also in full swing among the people, and there are constantly new exercises and new masters emerging from them, and many people claim to have mastered or seen qigong abilities and special functions, and are convinced of this. A lie is taken true a thousand times, and the liar and the deceived take it as true, but what is false is false after all. With the economic development and cultural enrichment, the "qigong fever" quickly ebbed, and it was only in recent years that it returned to people's attention in the form of "health fever".
