Chapter 301: Cooperation, Preparedness

Xu Zhengping smiled and said, "That's for sure, but that's not something we can worry about." Ostrich

Lingzhou University of Technology is just a university, and it is still okay to engage in research, and they are not interested in others.

Su Zhe nodded and said seriously, "Having said that, I'm still very interested in the software and data that Qingda makes for augmented reality, in fact, we can cooperate, after all, we all have the same goal."

As for the competition between universities and research institutes, he thinks this is very good.

However, there is also a degree of competition with each other, and cooperation cannot be delayed because of competition.

"Yes, yes! It's the software and data that are more important than the hardware." Fan Xiaoming smiled with a smile on his face, "Although we have research in this area, Qingda has gone further than us in this regard."

For augmented reality, the software is fine, and what he values most is the data.

For the collection of data, it is relied on little by little accumulation. Ostrich

There are no shortcuts.

"Collaboration...... Yes, I believe that the University has such a belly." Xu Zhengping said with certainty.

Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "Actually! Our cooperation with Qingda can make Qingda have a step down, otherwise this time Qingda's face will be lost, and the product will be eliminated as soon as it is about to develop on a large scale, and there is nowhere to reason."

Truth be told, no one wants that.

This time it was a complete coincidence.

Su Zhe nodded and said, "Things like the improvement of the virtual universe, the data collection of augmented reality, etc., require the cooperation of all universities and research institutes, and only in this way will there be better development."

Major universities, research institutes, and even domestic research-oriented enterprises can be said to be in competition with each other. Ostrich

The current situation is that Lingzhou University of Technology is in a standout, leaving other universities and research institutes far behind, but this is only a temporary lead.

Compared with the heritage and years of accumulation of Qingda and Yanda, Lingzhou University of Technology is still a little worse.

At this stage, Qingda and Yanda are trying to surpass Lingzhou University of Technology.

It's competition, but there's still cooperation between them.

At present, the biggest cooperation between major universities and research institutes is the streamlining of textbooks of various disciplines and the collation and sorting of relevant knowledge led by the Four Books Society.

And then there's the collaboration on the virtual universe.

At the beginning, the project was on the virtual solar system, which was led by the school's computer school, and later, with the participation of other universities and research institutes, the virtual solar system was upgraded to a virtual universe. Ostrich

It is impossible to complete the virtual universe by relying on one university and one research institute.

Augmented reality, and the combination of virtual and reality, is not something that can be accomplished by a single university or a single institute.

These are not single technologies, what is needed is the accumulation of data.

The more people involved, the faster it develops, the better.

"Yes! Cooperation is the way it should be." Xu Zhengping nodded, "We have to compete under the framework of cooperation, after all, we all have the same purpose, that is, to develop science and technology."

He has always been supportive of cooperation.

From the very beginning of the preparations for the landing on Mars, half of the 10,000 people were personnel from other universities and research institutes. Ostrich

After increasing the number of personnel to 30,000, the number of employees in the university was only 10,000, and the other 20,000 were personnel from other universities and research institutes.

Another example is the Tamu Gobi, where universities and research institutes are involved, and he supports cooperation in these areas.

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming smiled and nodded.

Subsequently, Xu Zhengping began to try to read and write information at the intersection of auditory information.

As for the principle and the same as the reading and writing of information at the intersection of visual information, the difference is that the information read and written is encoded in different ways.

After a pause, Xu Zhengping took off his helmet with satisfaction, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, whether it is the reading and writing of information at the intersection of visual information, or the reading and writing of information at the intersection of auditory information, it has reached the application

and when other information intersections are found, the brain-computer technology will be successful."

Sight and hearing, which are the most important information inputs for the brain. Ostrich

To be honest, the scientific research team of brain-computer combination technology is strong.

The visual information interaction point has been found a long time ago, but the auditory information intersection point has only been found in the morning.

But by the afternoon, the relevant information reading and writing edits are done.

This speed must not be slow.

Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "It can only be said that the threshold of application has been reached in vision and hearing, and as for the combination of brain and computer, we must continue to optimize, our goal is not high, as long as we achieve the ability of eyes and ears."

For now, reading and writing information at the intersection of visual and auditory information is not perfect.

Whether it is in the reading or writing of information, there is a loss of information. Ostrich

The manifestation of this is that the hearing is not very clear, and the vision is also blurred.

There are a lot of issues involved in this.

Some are caused by individual specificity, and some are due to insufficient technical maturity.

Therefore, it is necessary to continuously optimize.

"It's not a high goal." Su Zhe smiled and nodded, "Let's go, let's go to the last experimental station, where there is research on various application products."

The three of them left Experimental Station 19 and arrived at Experimental Station 20.

Su Zhe and the three of them first took a turn in the No. 20 experimental station. Ostrich

I learned that there are products that are being studied to solve the problem of visual and auditory impairments, and then brain-computer combination technology.

The product being worked on looks very rough from the outside, but it is actually a helmet.

Unlike the previous experimental stations, the helmets here directly earn the right product.

It's like a helmet that solves vision problems, and it also comes with two cameras.

Its function is very simple, it is to record the image seen by the camera, and then compile what it sees, and finally the compiled information will be written into the visual information intersection.

To put it simply, the product under study replaces the function of the segment from the eye to the intersection of visual information.

Some are just the compilation of the picture information recorded by the camera, and then the information of the visual information interaction point is written. Ostrich

It's that simple.

With such a product, it is possible for people who cannot see the world as it is.

The same is true for people who can't hear, where the microphone records the sound, compiles the sound information, and then writes the compiled information to the auditory information intersection.

The former does not have a corresponding product at this stage, and the latter is a very expensive hearing aid.

The difference is that what is done now, whether it is visual or auditory, is non-intrusive.

Seeing the product being studied, Xu Zhengping couldn't wait to give it a try.

The first thing he tried was visual. Ostrich

The helmet was worn on his head, and his eyes were blindfolded.

He looked around and felt very good, similar to what he saw with his own eyes.

With his helmet on, he looked at Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming behind him and said, "The experience is very good, similar to what you see with your eyes."

At first, he didn't expect this.

When researching brain-computer integration technology, these problems can also be solved.

Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "The ability of this product is similar to the human eye, in fact, we can do it stronger than the human eye."

"Yes, we can do clairvoyance." Su Zhe added. Ostrich

How strong this product can be, it depends on how strong the current camera is.

"That's it! But I don't support clairvoyance, just do it like ordinary people's eyes." Xu Zhengping smiled all over his face, "I said, relying on the existing technology, how big will the volume of the product be? Without thinking about the brain."

He was very curious about this question.

"It's big, about the same helmet you're wearing right now." Fan Xiaoming said and looked at Su Zhe.

Su Zhe smiled and said, "Yes, whether it is visual or auditory, according to the current technology, the finished product is the size of a helmet."

This is done using existing technology and materials.

According to the previous plan, the brain-computer combination technology is to be combined with the game cabin, and the game cabin needs to be in a specific place. Ostrich

Those products that solve the visual and auditory problems will not be too small.

"Well, what if you include the technology and materials used in the brain?" Xu Zhengping asked.

The size of the helmet is still a little too large, which is a little inconvenient.

Su Zhe smiled and said, "It can be very small, if I have to say, it can be one-third the size of a mobile phone."

To be honest, the principal's request for a "brain machine" is a very good idea.

In the beginning, he had no idea of miniaturization.

"Yes! Yes!" Xu Zhengping took off his helmet with a smile on his face. Ostrich

He sat down at the next workstation and put on another helmet for the study of hearing.

He first covered his ears with something and tried it, but found that he couldn't hear a sound.

tried to communicate with Fan Xiaoming, but saw that Fan Xiaoming's mouth was moving, and his voice was not heard at all.

Then he activated his helmet and instantly heard Fan Xiaoming's voice.

He smiled and said, "This hearing is also very good, almost like hearing with your ears."

"Of course, I don't see who studied it." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile, "If you really want to talk about it, after having a brain computer, other special products don't need to be specially manufactured, with the brain computer as the center, you can add peripherals, such as watching, listening, and speaking, these can only be done by adding peripherals, and there is no need to do other things."

Brain-computer fusion can be a brain-computer combination technology, which connects the human brain and the network. Ostrich

At this time, you can use the brain-computer as the center to add peripherals.

Even if a person can't speak, can't see or hear, as long as he puts on a brain computer and adds peripherals for seeing, hearing, and speaking, he can see, hear, and speak.

This eliminates the need to specialize in manufacturing special products.

Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "Yes, yes, but we also have to study related products, even if only some people need it, we should do it, besides, some people don't want brain machines, they just want to see it, for these we have to meet the needs of a small number of people, after all, now we have the conditions to meet the needs of a few."

Now there is no shortage of resources and energy, and there is a capacity to do so.

But Fan Xiaoming was right.

According to the current development trend. Ostrich

For a long time to come, it will be developed with the "brain computer" as the center.

It's like the information age is computer-centric.

In the information age, computers and mobile phones are the connecting medium between people and the Internet, and now they have been replaced by brain computers.

The human brain is connected to the network through the brain-computer, and it can enter the virtual universe, achieve augmented reality, and control various devices in reality.

"We don't want to be too simplistic, we have to do related products." Su Zhe thought for a while and said, "In fact, there are differences between the human brain and the human brain, and there are also commonalities.

This aspect is very wide-ranging, or it is necessary to prepare for artificial intelligence in the future.

With differences, it also increases the difficulty of AI control. Ostrich

"Differences...... Xu Zhengping thought for a while and said, "Indeed, there are differences between people, so to speak, people's brain hardware is similar, but the difference in software is very different, to highlight the differences, this has great benefits, can prevent artificial intelligence in the future."

Fan Xiaoming nodded and said, "That's the case, guarding against artificial intelligence is not just about doing differences, we will be on guard in many aspects, and its hardware and software will do it."

According to the existing point of view, the more advanced it is, the higher the degree of automation and intelligence, and the worse its ability to resist blows and intrusions.

It's like an automated factory, as long as there is a problem with one step, it is difficult to proceed.

This is not the case in traditional manufacturing plants.

Right now, the security-related departments are somewhat prepared for this.

It not only attaches great importance to the existing automation and intelligent manufacturing, but also attaches great importance to the manual and semi-automatic in the past. Ostrich

Not only is it specially manufactured, but it is also necessary to learn.

And those pessimists, even taking into account the various scenarios that will happen to the location.

Metaphor for all kinds of disasters, artificial intelligence threatens human beings or something.

As for countermeasures, that's more.

For example, how to deal with a total network outage, and how to deal with it when there is no power and no light energy supply.

There will be corresponding countermeasures in relevant situations.

"It's the right thing to do, and we're going to think long-term." Xu Zhengping smiled and said, "We have developed automation, intelligence, brain-computer combination technology, and research artificial intelligence, with the development of science and technology, conscious artificial intelligence will appear sooner or later, if we do not prepare in advance, it is very likely to lose in the hands of artificial intelligence." Ostrich

The research on artificial intelligence is certain, after all, artificial intelligence can greatly improve productivity.

But for artificial intelligence, it is necessary to prepare from the beginning.

Su Zhe nodded and said: "That's the case, the sooner you take precautions, the better, for the application of brain-computer combination technology, we will have a lot of restrictions, and there will be many restrictions from the beginning, if you don't do restrictions, the consequences will be terrifying."

"Yes! Not to mention artificial intelligence, if that person does it, the consequences will be terrifying." Fan Xiaoming said seriously.

"Terror...... Oh, yes! Technology has two sides, and the combination of brain and computer technology can improve the overall strength of human beings when used in the right way, and once it is used in the wrong way, the consequences are unimaginable." Xu Zhengping said with certainty.
