Chapter 80: Atlas's Problem
"The chip that was removed yesterday has been intact for more than thirty hours now, and no signs of self-destruction have been found. www.biquge.infoAtlas's voice seemed very excited, and her voice seemed a little incoherent at this time, "At the beginning, the people's thinking at the beginning was not wrong, but there were some problems with the steps. ”
"That's great news." Zhou Xin, who was not ready to tell Atlas about his decision, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart after hearing the news. Of course, in addition to being happy, he did not forget the most basic calmness. After praising the little girl a few words, Zhou Xin reminded: "Don't be too happy, being able to keep the chip intact is only the first step, and the more important thing is the follow-up research on the chip and the extraction of the information stored inside." ”
"You know, when the chip is removed from the brain, people have already started to extract internal data." The little girl on the screen agreed repeatedly, and then she opened her mouth to urge, "Brother Captain, how is the matter of asking for someone from the Noshan civilization?" Although it is almost certain that we can preserve the chip intact, the only intact chip we have left now is the one that has just been picked, and if something happens, the next research will not be able to continue. ”
"Uh." Zhou Xin didn't expect Atlas to urge himself at this time. In the midst of hesitation, he said perfunctorily: "You can study it with peace of mind, I am already negotiating with the Norshans." It is estimated that it will not be long before they send a group of people over. After saying this, he changed the subject, "Let me see the chip that has just been removed, I have never seen a good chip at work." ”
Atlas did not express any doubts about Zhou Xin's answer. Next, after Zhou Xin made a request, she switched to the screen as soon as possible.
In the very center of the picture, a chip the size of a fingernail that Zhou Xin had seen before was lying quietly. But unlike before, the chip in the screen at this time was not placed in a small box, but was placed in the center of a table that was larger than the console in front of Zhou Xin. If you look closely, you'll see the hair-thin wires that connect the table to the chip. If you just look at the chip itself, it is actually no different from the chip that has just been manufactured.
While Zhou Xin observed, Atlas explained: "This machine is a device built according to the brain structure of the Norshan people, and it is used to simulate their brain activity. Relying on this set of equipment, coupled with the simulation of the brain signals of the Norsans, it can prevent the chip from self-destructing. At the same time, people can also rely on this set of equipment to communicate with the chip simply, and then get some information from the chip. ”
Then she focused the lens on the small chip, and then explained: "Originally, people wanted to use a fixed slot to realize the connection between the chip and the machine, first, it is not easy to damage, and second, the connection efficiency is much higher than now." However, in the process of removing the chip, it was found that unless people can disconnect all the connections between the chip and the brain at the same time, if they are slow and let any of the connections disconnect for too long, the self-destruct mechanism of the chip will be triggered. So there is no way, people can only use the method you see now, Brother Captain, to establish its connection to the machine while gradually disconnecting the chip from the brain. ”
"Of course, although this method was successful in the end, the connection was very fragile, and any movement that was too violent would cause the connection to break. Coupled with the large number of connections, there are nearly two hundred, and any one of them can lead to irreparable consequences. It had already appeared once before, causing a chip to self-destruct, so the room had to be sealed off while it was monitored around the clock. "We're already trying to figure out how to solve this problem, but because we're the last chip we've left, we don't dare to make some overly obvious changes to the way it's connected." So hopefully, Brother Captain, you can get some more samples and come back for research. ”
"Well done, thank you." Zhou Xin first comforted him, and then asked, "How far has the research on chips been carried out?" ”
Hearing this question, the little girl's brows on the screen furrowed slightly, "It's not very smooth, the technical level embodied in the chip has far exceeded the technology that people have mastered now, and even some of them can't even be understood." In addition, there is only one intact sample left, and some of the more in-depth studies are not daring to carry out it at all. So now the understanding of the chip itself is still very limited. ”
"In addition, there are also many problems in the identification and reading of the data stored in the chip." Atlas continued, "What people read from the chip is not a signal in the conventional sense, but a complex signal similar to the Norshan brainwave, which seems to use a signal transmission method similar to that of a real neuron, which is not understood by ordinary signal reading. So all people can do now is to input the signals read from the brains of real Norzans into the chip, and record the feedback of the chip in detail, as for what the chip feeds back, it can only be translated after they find a suitable method. Before Zhou Xin asked, the little girl added, "But it's not that there is no progress, although the brain activity is extremely complex, but in the process of signal input and output, people still found some rules, but I don't know if such rules are useful for the time being." ”
Atlas obviously understands this specific technical issue in more detail, and Zhou Xin has no way to put forward any constructive suggestions. So he could only comfort: "Since you already have eyebrows, let's study it slowly." I believe that with your ability, it is nothing more than taking more time. And if even you can't figure it out, then no one else on our ship can. ”
"That's all it can be." Atlas replied......
