"Mr. Lei, if you are not in a hurry to go back to the company, let's go upstairs to see Professor Strong's latest achievements?"

Chen Heyu took the initiative to invite and said with a light smile.

"Can I? Wouldn't it be inconvenient? ”

Rebus was slightly surprised.

"Everyone is their own person, can you still learn the core technology if you take a look at it more?"

Chen Heyu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Boss, you're laughing."

Rebus waved his hand in embarrassment.

Recalling that at the beginning, in order to compete with future technology in the Ai voice system market, he spent a lot of money and manpower to set up a rice artificial intelligence laboratory, but in the end, he didn't even make a decent result, which really made people blush.

"What are you doing? You kid leads the way. ”

Chen Heyu urged Hong Jun on the side, and seeing that he was standing like a wooden stake, he couldn't help but raise his foot and kick it.

"Hehe, right away, I thought you knew the way!"

Hong Jun grinned, showing an expression of nonchalance, and moved his steps in a hurry, walking in the forefront, acting as a "tour guide" for the R&D center.

Seeing this, Lei Jun couldn't help but ask curiously: "Boss, you seem to be very familiar with the R&D engineers in the company." ”

Rice is a subsidiary of Shanhai Capital, so he habitually calls Chen Heyu "boss"!

"Mr. Lei didn't know that the boss had been in the laboratory all day before, developing Xihe EDA software with us, and it can be said that the boss made the greatest contribution to the birth of this product."

Hong Jun turned around and explained with a smile.

When Rebus heard this, a look of admiration flashed in his eyes.

In fact, his sensory impression of Chen Heyu is extremely complex, at first full of hostility, then when he was acquired, he turned to reluctance and resentment, and finally with the support of future technology, he became the hegemon of smartphone shipments in Dahua.

At this time, the mood is full of gratitude!

After all, Rice Technology is getting closer and closer to the threshold of the world's top 500!

"Boss, Mr. Lei, this building is the research and development base of brain-computer interface, with a total of 8 floors, and the office space of our project is currently limited to 1-3 floors."

Hong Jun said.

This is because the number of engineers in Professor Strong's team is less than 1,000, and at least 3,000 people need to be hired to fill the R&D base.

The success of non-invasive brain-computer interface allowed Chen Heyu to finally obtain the research qualification of interventional brain-computer interface technology.

When it comes to high-risk surgical procedures, it is natural to be extremely cautious.

Personnel and headhunting channels are making efforts to find the world's top talents to join, so as to further promote the progress of brain-computer interface technology.

The required experts and scholars span a wide range of fields, such as:

Neuroscientists: They have an in-depth understanding of the structure and function of the brain and can help design and implement brain-computer interface experiments and interpret brain electrophysiological signals and other neurologically relevant data.

Electronics Engineer: Responsible for the design and development of brain-computer interface devices, including biosensors, electrode arrays, signal amplifiers, and stimulation devices.

Computer Scientist: Develop data acquisition and processing software, write algorithms for signal analysis and pattern recognition, design user interfaces and interactive systems.

VR technology expert: mainly to develop virtual environment and interactive system, proficient in the application of Moss Ai special effects 3.0, to strengthen the real-time interaction between users and the virtual world.

Experienced surgeons: Interventional brain-computer interfaces require surgical procedures to implant electrodes into specific brain regions, including the surgical pathway, the method and depth of electrode implantation, and safety considerations during surgery.

"The safety of implanted electrodes is difficult to control, and if they drift, wear or fail, they can cause infection, bleeding, inflammation and rejection, but hopefully a new material can be found to solve this problem once and for all."

Chen Heyu said with emotion.

The group came to the second floor and walked into a spacious laboratory, where an advanced computer workstation was placed in the center of the room, surrounded by multiple display screens and control terminals of various experimental equipment.

On the left is a fully equipped biosensor and neural signal acquisition area, displaying a variety of sensors, electrode arrays, and biosignal amplifiers for observing the EEG, magnetoencephalography, and electromyography signals of the subject, and connecting them to a central computer workstation with delicate circuitry.

On the right, there is an area dedicated to stimulation and feedback.

There are a variety of brain-computer interface devices, and unlike the Moss Ai glasses on the market, the equipment in the laboratory is a simple engineering version, and there is no beauty at all.

At the rear of the room is a quiet data processing and analysis area.

This area has dedicated workstations, high-performance computers, and data storage servers.

Computer experts and data processors use automated algorithmic software to analyze and interpret the biological signal data collected from the subjects and apply it to the development of brain-computer interface technology.

"Boss, you're here, Hong, you're in charge of the introduction."

Strongschran walked over and held a few new products, which looked very similar to Moss Ai glasses 1.0, except that the temples were thicker and wider, and they seemed to be loaded with some precision electronic components.

Chen Heyu reached out and picked up one, put it on directly, it was obviously a little heavier than 1.0, and the screen in front of him was instantly activated without waking up the device.

"Boss, we have implanted a capacitor in the nose pad, which can recognize whether the product is being worn or not, eliminating the mechanical button and voice switch design."

Hong Jun said with a straight face, when it came to work, he immediately restrained his smile and looked upright.

"Any more samples? Take a pair and give it to Mr. Lei. ”

Chen Heyu commanded.

"No problem."

Strong took out another pair of new Ai glasses from the lab table behind him and handed them to Rebus.

"Thank you."

Lei Jun smiled and took it, he had used version 1.0, but he didn't know anything about version 2.0 that had not yet been released.

"Boss, Mr. Lei, close your eyes and feel it."

Hong Jun reminded.

Chen Heyu nodded slightly, and then lost all color in his sight, leaving only the lonely and helpless black.

The camera at the front of the lens starts working, converting the scene in front of him into an analog light signal that is sent to his brain.

Gradually, the black slowly dissipated, and the figures of Rebus, Hong Jun, and Strong appeared in their minds.

The clothes on his body were not clear, the appearance of his face could not be seen realistically, and the walls around him were obviously white, but the feedback to his brain was light gray.

The only merit that can be praised is that all kinds of equipment, instruments, and workbenches have a vague outline.

Chen tried to move, and despite his eyes closed, he was still able to walk through the obstacles.

As he became familiar with the fact that he was not born blind, he quickly established a sense of color and objects.

The white smooth area is the wall, which is the test bench; The black area is people, and it is a variety of instruments; The green areas are vegetation; The yellow one is the bin......

He picked up the signature pen on the table, and in addition to the words on the "can't read clearly" label, he could still judge the general shape, color, and what the item was.

When he wants to know what's on the label, the camera sends the picture to the chip, converts it into a text message, and then converts it into a voice message, which is synced to him through the speaker.

Rebus, who was on the side, was also having a lot of fun.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Heyu took off his glasses and asked Professor Strong, "Is there room for improvement?" Although blind people can walk normally, the perception of objects and colors is still too great to be the same as normal people. ”

The overall feeling is like that of a patient with 200-300 degrees of myopia, and the perception of the whole world is blurred.

Detailed information can only be refined through text and voice descriptions.

"This is the limitation of non-invasive brain-computer interfaces, unless sensor technology advances by leaps and bounds, bioelectrodes must be implanted to better collect and feedback light signals."

Professor Strong shook his head and spread it out, unable to do anything.

"Boss, in fact, blind people can improve the use effect by more than 3 times as long as they establish a stimulus recognition system, such as associating colors with stimulus signals, objects and stimulus signals, through long-term training."

Hong Jun added.

"Put it on the list of summer new product launches, only large-scale commercial application can promote the rapid progress of a technology."

Chen Heyu thought for a while and said.

There are about 40 million to 50 million blind people in the world, and the market prospect is very broad!

"Boss, if you add an ultrasonic motor to the screen of your phone to drive the contact array, the blind will be able to play with your smartphone."

Hong Jun said with a smile.

The principle is that when a blind person's finger touches a certain area on the screen, the voice will tell him that it is a game, Weibo or WeChat app, and with Moss Ai glasses and Ai intelligent voice assistant, the blind person can easily control a smartphone.

"Is Mr. Ray interested? Can I ask the company to provide technical support to work with Rice to produce a smartphone for the blind? ”

Chen Heyu turned around and asked Rebus.

"How long will it take?"

Rebus asked rhetorically.

Less than 1% of the world's people are blind, and if the development cycle is too long and the R&D funding is too high, it is a thankless task.

"Most of the screen panel factories in China have mastered this technology, and they only need to develop an adapted software."

Hong Jun replied.

"Oh, I see."

Lei Jun nodded, since the cost is not high, launching a customized mobile phone can still gain the goodwill of users, why not?

The two stayed in the lab for a while before leaving the R&D building and heading towards Planet 1 in the centerland.

"Boss, compared to this building, the rice headquarters is simply low."

Rebus admired it again, still surprised, and slapped his ass silently.

"The design fee is not cheap, okay, let's not talk about this, how is the development of rice in the first half of the year?"

Chen Heyu asked casually.

"One month after the launch of the Rice 5, domestic sales exceeded 3 million units, and its performance overseas is also good, especially in Europe, with shipments as high as 1.8 million units.

I am confident that if I am given another half a year, I will be able to surpass Huayao and become the third mobile phone brand in the world. ”

Lei Jun said confidently, with a look on his face.

He knows very well that Chen Heyu participates in the financial meeting and business meeting of Rice Technology once a week through video, so he naturally wants to understand some new opportunities and changes.

"Powered by a Snapdragon 820? Shanhai Microelectronics needs to continue to work hard and come up with a fist product as soon as possible. ”

Chen Heyu said with anticipation.

"Shanhai M2 chip, in the adaptation of mid-range mobile phones is excellent, I hope that it will not be long before rice can use the high-end chip processor developed by domestic self-development."

Lei Junle said.

Chen Heyu forced rice to purchase Shanhai M1 and Shanhai M2 chips, he was a little resistant at first, but after the market test, the effect was amazing.

After all, the high price of the Snapdragon processor purchased from Pickaxe will lead to a weak net profit of rice.

If all the self-developed chips of Shanhai Microelectronics are adopted, the production cost will be greatly reduced, and the net profit margin of the group will be improved.

"It's still early, go to my office for a cup of tea first, and I didn't even look at myself when I came over today."

Chen Hayu proposed.

"It's an honor."

Rebus laughed.

The two walked into the hall on the first floor side by side, took the elevator to the top floor, and came to a chairman's office of more than 200 square meters.

Desks, bookcases, tea bars, sofas, small conference tables, etc., are all available.

Chen Heyu glanced at the doorknob hidden behind the bookshelf, and immediately guessed that Zhang Nan had also made him a bedroom to rest.

"It's wasted, in the past two years, I have spent less and less time in Yancheng."

He sighed with a smile.

"What kind of tea does the boss want to drink? I'll soak it. ”

Lei Jun walked to the tea bar and asked earnestly.

"Yellow buds, lighter."

Chen Heyu walked to the sofa and sat down, took out his mobile phone, checked the latest news, flipped to a few cool pictures, and smiled.

"Don't make trouble, go back to Shanghai in a few days."

Send a short message.

"Boss, you said that the mobile phone of the future, will it still exist?"

Lei Jun held the tea tray, put it on the coffee table, sat opposite Chen Heyu and asked.

Moss Ai glasses have brought him a great impact, perhaps in the future, the progress of brain-computer interfaces, human beings only need to use biochips to connect to satellite networks, and global barrier-free communication can be realized.

"It's not that easy! The kind you are talking about can only exist in science fiction movies. ”

Chen Heyu denied that he had never seen this kind of surreal technology before he was reborn in his previous life.

"Haha, imagine boldly."

Lei Jun snorted, diverted the topic, and chatted about interesting things in the circle.

“…… Wang Xin's shared financial platform is developing well, and the last time I met him, he wanted my foundation to invest, but I didn't agree on the spot. ”

Lei Jun said with a smile.

"Why don't you agree to come down? Don't worry about me. ”

Chen Heyu smiled.

What industry doesn't do, but to do shared finance, Lao Wang, eighty percent of the people were frustrated, and he was confused.

"Sharing mode, I don't think there's a chance at all."

Lei Jun said firmly.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Chen Heyu picked up the teapot, poured two cups of fragrant tea, and asked slowly.

"Because of Mr. Chen, you! None of them voted! ”

Lei Jun was concise and to the point.

"You're using me as a guiding light?"

Chen Heyu didn't have a good airway.

"Haha, who in the circle doesn't know the boss's investment talent, it's just that I observe more carefully."

Lei Jun said sincerely.

In fact, he was not unmoved, but investigated it privately.

Boy!

All the fake loan contracts!

Where are so many borrowers, it is nothing more than a left-handed game, according to the development trajectory, in less than a year, this model will have to completely collapse.

"I don't want to step on this kind of thunder."

Chen Heyu said in a deep voice.

Lei Jun was silent, he didn't stupidly ask Chen Heyu why he didn't warn the top management and remind those "poor people" who invested in the platform.

Sometimes, until they reach a desperate situation, this group of people will not wake up.

"Didn't Jia of Lelisi always want Shanhai Capital to invest money in Faraday?"

Lei Jun paused and asked.

"What do you think?"

Chen Heyu couldn't deny it and said with a smile.

"This man is full of trains, and he is not trustworthy."

Lei Jun commented.

He knows Jia Ting's personality very well, he speaks three points truthfully, seven points false, and invests money in Lelisi's car-building plan, and eighty percent of it will be wasted.

Therefore, he deliberately talked about this topic to remind Chen Heyu.

"Not mixed with personal vendettas?"

Chen Hayu quipped.

"Counting personal grievances, I don't think he's optimistic about him, a person who doesn't even bother to design a mobile phone, can he expect him to build a car?"

Lei Jun said disdainfully.

Lelisi's super mobile phone, sold 10 million units in the first half of the year, and it was a terrible number for a domestic mobile phone manufacturer that was established less than two years ago.

You want to lose money, no one stops you!

But Jabbs's Lelith mobile phone, in terms of UI and mobile phone appearance, even the shape of the screws is based on the design of rice, which is directly plagiarized, he is naturally annoyed, and he has also scolded him by name on Weibo.

"Don't worry, if I have money, I will also invest in rice, and you will be responsible for building the car, and I am more confident."

Chen Heyu said leisurely.

"Me? Boss, you want to build a car too! ”

Lei Jun was puzzled.
