In the following period, Chen Chen paid attention to the situation of the inertial confinement reactor every day.
Fortunately, under the control of Xiao
Half a month later, after the finally improved inertial confinement reactor had been operating without failure and abnormality for 168 hours, Chen Chen officially let the reactor take over the power system of the minaret.
The next step is to find a way to miniaturize this kind of reactor. After all, the most suitable way to use the inertial confinement reactor is to make it into a spacecraft engine. Through magnetic fluid power generation technology, it can directly drive the plasma engine, thereby achieving continuous driving force.
However, if he wants to miniaturize, Chen Chen needs to at least have his own laser component assembly line. This technology is no less difficult than a photolithography machine, and Chen Chen needs to take a long-term approach.
However, during this period, as the Xingtian project was announced to the public, it triggered a violent response around the world.
Xingtian is the brand name of prosthetics released by Chen Chen. Its purpose is to benefit the disabled in society through bionic prostheses. The so-called "Xingtian Project" is more far-reaching. In Chen Chen's strategic system, this project is for In the future, humans will be able to undergo head transplant surgery.
Today's bionic prosthetics are just testing the waters.
It is better to first introduce bionic prosthetics to benefit the disabled, and then gradually introduce bionic internal organs and bionic electronic spines, gradually challenging the bottom line of social ethics, rather than directly throwing out head replacement technology, making human beings become mechanical except for the brain. Cyborg, if this technology is directly thrown out, it will definitely trigger a tsunami of public opinion.
Therefore, boiling the frog in warm water is the best choice.
Although it is only a rudimentary bionic technology, disabled people also need to have Neuralink's lace electrodes implanted in their brains when implanting bionic prostheses.
This is the latest invasive brain-computer interface technology released by Musk in 2019.
As we all know, there are hundreds of millions of neurons in the brain, and the relationships between neurons constitute a neural network. Signals on neurons are mainly transmitted through electrical pulse signals. In other words, these pulse signals reflect our "Actions" and "thoughts", if these pulse signals can be analyzed, it is equivalent to analyzing a person's soul.
As a result, brain-computer interface technology emerged.
The lace electrode developed by Neuralink is a multi-contact flexible electrode, an invasive brain interface, but it is thinner than ordinary hair, only 27.5 microns.
Thinner electrodes mean less brain damage. In order to implant such electrodes into the human brain, Neuralink has even developed a surgical robot that implants electrodes into the human brain one by one like a sewing machine. In the cerebral cortex, blood vessels can be avoided during the implantation process, and unique electrode positions can be customized to minimize damage.
All electrodes will be buried in the cortex, and they will float with the brain, so there is no need to worry about scratching the brain, just like hundreds or thousands of "hairs" buried in the brain. In the end, all recorded signals will follow the brain. These "hairs" are passed into the sensor.
As for lace electrode technology, the sensor used is also special. This sensor chip will be nailed to the skull. This design has two benefits. One is to anchor the electrode and prevent the electrode from being dislocated due to various accidents. The other is to prevent the electrode from dislocating due to various accidents. Complete digital-to-analog conversion at a nearby location to reduce noise.
Finally, through a specific algorithm in the chip, the electrical signals in the brain of the implanted person can be successfully converted into a program, so that the implanted person can use his "thought" to control his prosthetic limb extremely smoothly, thus making the prosthetic limb more flexible. The extent is like a real limb.
In order to buy the right to use the lace electrode technology developed by Neuralink, Blacklight Technology spent a total of one billion US dollars.
Of course, Chen Chen can earn back the money he earned here from another place. Currently, Chen Chen’s bionic prosthetics have not yet been recognized by various countries, so only the Life Sciences City can perform implantation surgeries of these prostheses and brain-computer interfaces. But even so, a large number of people came to Life Science City. Except for the group of people who wanted to regain their youth, the others were all disabled.
Most people with disabilities around the world are still waiting and watching.
After all, it is a new technology. If there is no national promotion, these people can only wait silently to see if the first person to try it will break any negative news.
After all, no matter how unreliable a technology is, there will always be the first batch of guinea pigs.
If this technology is really reliable, it will be able to gain a reputation sooner or later, and it will not be too late to make a choice then.
But on the other hand, since the design of the M-1 drone was completed, Mark Dawson's new mission has never been completed.
No, or it's just stuck on the prerequisites.
Because Chen Chen hoped that he could produce the aircraft in "Elysium", he specifically asked Mark Dawson if he could provide him with a sample of the aircraft, could he simplify and copy that aircraft
Mark Dawson's answer at the time was: There must be a special wind tunnel.
Therefore, Chen Chen made a promise that he would build a group of large-scale special wind tunnels for future research by Mark Dawson.
However, during this period of time, the materials used in the special wind tunnel still gave Chen Chen a huge headache. In addition, Chen Chen had no experience in building wind tunnels at all. He had to search all over the world for engineers who could build wind tunnels. But that It is obviously difficult to recruit national treasure-level figures, and Chen Chen still has no results so far.
But it doesn't matter. If you can't recruit talents, the worst thing is that the construction of the wind tunnel is a little slow. It will take several years to complete. Chen Chen can still afford to wait.
However, thinking about it during this period also gave Chen Chen a new enlightenment—in addition to using aircraft that exceeded the technology of the Earth Federation to make up for the lack of maneuverability, he actually had other options.
For example...a science fiction movie that allows human body teleportation.
"The Fly", "Doom", "Terminator", "Kill City", "Star Trek".
These five movies flashed through Chen Chen's mind instantly.
In "The Fly", the protagonist Brando Seth develops a time-space transmission machine that allows items to be transported between two places without gaps.
However, during the personal experiment, an accident occurred. A fly flew into the experimental cabin, causing the protagonist Brando to fuse with the fly's genes, and eventually he turned into a large fly with human size... This is a horror movie.
"Doom" is adapted from the game, but it is different from the game's plot. It tells the story of humans colonizing Mars in the future, but encountering a virus leak, so a rescue team is sent there using a teleportation device. This is also a story. A horror movie.
"Terminator" and "Killing City" are similar in that they both fall into the category of horror films.
Four of the five movies are horror movies, and there really is no one else...
