Chapter 59 The Dangers of Chips
"According to the facts told by Nunu, it seems that there is nothing wrong with removing the chip before the age of twenty, but judging from the inspection results, the actual situation is not as simple as you think, brother captain. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info," Atlas replied.
"It's not that simple?" Zhou Xin asked subconsciously.
"If it's just to make sure those kids survive, then it's really like taking off the chip before the age of twenty, as you said, brother Captain." "But if you want them to be safe, you have to do it as soon as possible." β
After a pause, she continued: "As I mentioned earlier, as these incompetent people get older, the chips in their brains emit more and more powerful electrical signals. Around the age of twenty, the electrical signals emitted by the chip are not enough to cause death, but they are enough to cause irreversible damage to the brain. If the chip is removed by this time, it will be too late. Although the person who removed the chip can still survive, he will almost become a fool, and even if he does not become a fool, there will be all kinds of brain problems, which is probably not what you want to see, Captain. β
"In fact, not only when those children are about to reach the age of 20, but the effect of the chip on their brains is actually reflected in those older children." Wren added on the screen.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Xin suddenly became nervous, "Are you saying that the chip is already causing damage to Nunu's brain now?" β
Shaking his head, Wren's answer made Zhou Xin feel at ease a little, "At this stage, the damage has not yet appeared, but some effects are still there." In the examination of the older children, I found that their body functions were several times more active, reflexes, and even irritable than the rest of the children. At first, I thought it was just the natural physiological changes that happened to the Norzans growing up. However, combined with Atlas's analysis, I am afraid that this is only part of the reason, and the more important reason is probably the chip in their brain. It is likely that the powerful electrical current released from the chip stimulates their physiological functions, resulting in the older children getting much more data than the other children. Of course, this effect is not beyond the limit of what they can bear, so it may still be a good thing for them, but it may not be in the future, and if it continues to develop, this situation will be an overdraft of their body. β
"In addition, according to my inquiries in the past two days, the little girl Inadvertently told me a detail." After a pause, Wren added, "Since she was twelve, she's been repeating dreams. In the dream, there is an unidentified voice that has been trying to communicate with her and trying to bond with her mind and even control her. At first, these dreams only occurred once or twice, but as she got older, they became more and more frequent, and now she dreams about them almost every three or four days. It was clear that the chip's signals were already taking a toll on her subconscious. And not only her, but also other children who were over the age of ten dreamed of similar scenes. β
"This shows that the impact of chips has developed to a certain extent." Atlas continued, "According to speculation, this phenomenon will only appear in dreams at first. As the situation continues to develop, I am afraid that similar hallucinations will appear in real life, and once it gets to that point, it means that the chip has begun to cause damage to their brains. β
"In other words, the sooner the chip is removed, the better." Zhou Xin asked with a frown.
"Especially Nunu." Atlas added, "It's been very clear what she's exposed to, and it's not clear when her brain will be damaged by the chip." β
After thinking about it, Zhou Xin nodded helplessly, "Now it seems that we can only remove the chip in their brains as soon as possible, as you said." But-" Zhou Xin glanced at Wren on the screen, "You're not completely sure that you can remove the chip without harming them, are you?" β
"The removal option is still being studied." Wren nodded, "After two days of detailed inspection, the estimated success rate has also increased a lot. Then he made a look that reassured Zhou Xin, "Don't worry, I will definitely do it in a foolproof situation, unless that child's situation suddenly changes." β
"Hmm." Zhou Xin nodded, "The proportions of this are up to you." β
Wren nodded, after this matter was said, he didn't have a word of nonsense at all, and hung up the communication directly.
Looking at the screen, Zhou Xin sighed, and then said to himself: "It seems that things here are not so simple." At the same time, he kept thinking back to the conversation he had just had with Wren, and he didn't know when he always felt that something was wrong.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xin decided to find Spred and Dart. After briefly introducing the conversation with Ren just now to the two of them, Zhou Xin seemed to have thought it through, so after the introduction, he continued: "Judging from this matter, I'm afraid the purpose of the chip inventor is not simple. β
"Hmm." Spred immediately understood Zhou Xin's thoughts, and he nodded thoughtfully, "Judging from this approach, the inventor of the chip obviously took into account the appearance of the incompetent. But in order to allow these incompetent people to use chips, their approach is too unreasonable. β
Zhou Xin said: "If the invention of the chip was for the benefit of the entire Nuoshan civilization, this practice is obviously contrary to this view. As the inventors of chips, it is impossible for them not to think about the damage that too strong electrical signals can cause to the brain. But instead of restricting it, they let the signal strength grow indefinitely, which makes me feel likeβ"
"It's like hoping that the incompetent will die soon." Dart also figured it out, and he quickly answered.
Nodding, Zhou Xin continued: "That's how it feels, this practice is obviously not for the benefit of the entire civilization. Why did the original inventor of the chip do this, and did he, like the Norshan people now, think that those who can't use the chip are useless......? β
