Regardless of the joys and worries of his own Internet company, Zhao Yi still hides alone at home, studying the technical problems of the human brain thought reader.
In previous lives, there have been many studies on the translation of human brain thinking, and most of them were done by interpreting brain waves.
If you want to conduct research along this path, you need to meet several requirements. The first is the analysis of brain waves. Only by understanding what kind of brain waves mean can you translate this brain wave.
In the past, many human brain research scientists focused on this main research direction. Only by completing research in this area can it be said that a major breakthrough has been made in the study of human brain waves.
However, before Zhao Yi was reborn, progress in this area was very slow, and the research content was only the interpretation of simple words, such as yes, no, cold, hot, and hungry.
These words are actually quite simple, closer to the instinctive consciousness of living things, and do not involve more advanced words. Even so, the accuracy is only about 76% to 90%.
The second requirement is the need for highly sensitive human brain wave sensors. Human brain thinking is highly complex, which is not only reflected in complex thinking states, but also in the rapid changes of thinking.
Maybe the first thought is just thinking about what to eat next, and the next thought turns to how to complete the work at hand, which is also accompanied by distracting thoughts that even humans themselves may not be aware of.
Therefore, during this high-level conversion process, the rapid changes in these brain waves must be captured. If the sensor cannot quickly capture these fleeting preferences, it may miss a lot of useful information.
The third requirement is to deal with noise. As a tool to improve work efficiency, the human brain reader must know which thoughts the worker needs to output and which are just temporary distracting thoughts.
For example, Zhao Yi wants to output the data in his mind to the computer. During the transmission process, Zhao Yi cannot always concentrate on thinking about the technical data to be transmitted. It is very likely that when he thinks of a certain point in the data, his thoughts suddenly change. Move to other directions.
But the direction of this thought transfer is not what Zhao Yi needs to transmit to the computer. It is even said that for many things, humans do not want others to know what they are thinking.
It should be said that the first condition is still possible to achieve through continuous experiments. The second requirement is not a problem as long as the technical level improves.
Then the third condition is even more difficult than them. This requires the thought reader to focus on the main work, and also to prevent reading the thoughts of humans that they do not want others to know.
Even if the thought reader is developed and used by Zhao Yi alone and will not be given to any third party, Zhao Yi does not want to reveal the most secret things in his mind when he is working.
Human beings all have two sides, and they may be a combination of angels and demons. However, many people have different external manifestations due to different education, different experiences and encounters.
Even Zhao Yi didn't dare to say that his thoughts were pure and flawless, because there was an evil demon living in a corner that he didn't pay attention to, waiting for a certain point in people to explode and release him.
If the thought reader translates everything in one go, then it is very likely that the person involved will collapse first after seeing his thought record.
I originally thought I was a good person, but found out that I turned out to be so nasty. This would have a huge impact on people's values, and even lead to self-doubt, and in severe cases, self-commitment.
The fourth condition is the speed of analysis. The speed of human thinking is very fast, but the transmission speed of physical signals has a limit, and analysis is required in the middle, which may take more time.
Take the author's writing as an example. Maybe I have thought about it from beginning to end, but due to the speed of analysis, the text still stays at the first few paragraphs. In that case, do I need to go back and think about it again.
But if you think about it again, the content may be very different from the last time. No one can guarantee that the content of what they think will be consistent.
This is not too bad for memory translation based on deterministic facts, but it is not applicable to virtual, pure idea-type thinking.
For example, although the author's writing is based on some facts, this part is relatively certain. Even if he thinks about it several times, the content will be consistent.
But more than 90% of them are fictitious. The content of the thinking in the previous time may be A, but the next thinking will become B that has little relevance to A due to some reasons.
If the parsing speed is very slow, whether it is output A or B in the end may not even be clear to the user.
If this problem cannot be solved, the final work efficiency may not be as fast as manual typing, and it can still be consistent.
After Zhao Yi wrote down these difficulties, he thought carefully and found that each difficulty was not particularly easy to solve. Relatively speaking, the first point was the easiest for Zhao Yi.
For the interpretation of brain waves, you can directly ask Zhou Ling to provide information, but this does not solve all problems, because what Zhou Ling can give is the translation of existing information about brain waves.
But human knowledge is incremental. Every moment, the human brain adds new cognitions of things, and even these cognitions were completely absent before. So for this new cognition, brain waves may not be cosmic. It’s in the information given by the spirit.
This is not bad, at worst, when you need to use the thought reader, you can update this part of the content, then it can still work barely.
But any of the following questions are not simple. It is very difficult to solve with the current level of science and technology in the world. First, it requires quick interpretation, which is simply not possible with the current level of computers.
Zhao Yi has also thought about using quantum computers, but a quantum computer that maintains high computing power requires a huge energy supply, which is doomed to miss portability.
Based on this, the thought reader can only be a brain wave signal collector that transmits the collected brain wave signals to the quantum computer.
Then the quantum computer uses a special algorithm to get rid of distracting thoughts, then parses out the required thinking content, and then transmits it back. This transmission process takes too long.
For the human mind, this time is already very long. Even during work, it is an intolerable speed delay. In the end, it feels less enjoyable than typing manually.
To solve the problem of transmission delay, you can use quantum communication, which can achieve almost instantaneous transmission, but again, both ends of information transmission require the support of a large amount of energy.
To be honest, thinking of this, Zhao Yi knew that this road would be difficult to follow, at least with the current technical capabilities, it would not be possible.
If you really want to do it at all costs, it's not that it can't be done, but don't expect it in the short term. It needs to open up a whole channel, which involves too many technical and craftsmanship levels.
With Zhao Yi's lazy character, it was impossible to spend too much time on this. He originally wanted to develop a thought reader just to be lazy, but he found that he had more work to do.
But if I don't want to do it, I can ask other researchers to help me do it. Anyway, this matter has been stranded. It is impossible to build the thought reader I want in a short time.
So Zhao Yi decomposed the other parts except brain wave analysis into scientific research projects through technical decomposition, and then provided relevant technical information on the current technical level.
After this work was completed, the quantum communication-related information was given to Tianshu Machinery Company. Because they have already done research and development on quantum communication technology and already have some information in hand, plus some of the information given now, it should speed up their work. research progress.
Regarding the technologies related to quantum computing, Zhao Yi directly gave them to Polaris Company and asked them to conduct research and development on this technology.
In addition, high-density battery technology is also required, which is also the key to the success or failure of the entire system. Otherwise, the energy supply problem will always be an insurmountable problem.
After sending these to relevant companies for research, Zhao Yi finally gave up on this issue. He first asked them to create a prototype based on the current level of technology and craftsmanship, and then slowly miniaturized it.
Since shortcuts cannot be taken, Zhao Yi needs to carefully select projects when cooperating with the government. He cannot participate in every project, otherwise he will lose his energy.
Only some key projects can be selected, that is, projects that have relatively high technical requirements and have a great impact on the country's economic development, such as high-speed rail projects. Zhao Yi thinks it is quite suitable.
On October 10, Zhao Yi finally walked out of his home and flew to Yingkou with senior government officials because Zhao Yi invited them to inspect the offshore farm last time.
It was obvious that the top government officials paid more attention to this matter, even more than Zhao Yi had expected. Everyone from the top government officials came. This was the first time Zhao Yi had seen such a battle.
He just invited it casually last time, and didn't even think that there would be high-level inspections. After all, the senior advisor led an inspection team to inspect it a few months ago.
When the special plane arrived in Yingkou, the group met with local government personnel and headed to Yingkou Pier.
The wharf specially built by Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company is now a busy scene. Not only are there many ships coming and going, but the machines on the wharf are also starting to unload the goods on the ship.
Agriculture, as the foundation of a country, will receive special attention no matter which country it is in, and the offshore farm of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company is a project that can completely solve our country's food problem.
This is also the reason why high-level government officials came together to inspect the harvest at the offshore farm. They needed to see with their own eyes whether it was as miraculous as Zhao Yi said, and they also needed to assess the impact of this incident on domestic agricultural development. .
After everyone waited at the dock for a while, a ship had finished unloading its cargo. Zhao Yi led everyone to board the ship and headed to the sea area where the offshore farm was located.
A few hours later, the members of the inspection team suddenly discovered something remarkable. They immediately stood up and walked towards the window. Others also noticed the abnormality and stood up one after another and came to the edge of the cabin.
What comes into view is a yellow-green sea surface. This is not the color of sea water, but is made of leaves from sea farm plants.
Although the waves are still not small, these huge leaves are rolling and dancing with the waves of the sea. They seem to be knocked over by the waves at any time, but they can always save the day.
When Zhao Yi developed this grain, because the structure of the fruit was similar to pomegranate, Zhao Yi directly named it durian rice.
The last time I came here, the durian rice was just growing, and even the leaves on the sea surface had not grown. When the leaves on the sea surface were fully grown, the whole plant began to bear fruit.
During the fruiting period, the leaves on the sea surface will become greener and greener, while the leaves in the sea water will grow longer and lusher. When they are all grown, they will look like kelp. This structure is conducive to absorbing nutrients in the sea water.
The reason why the leaves on the sea begin to bear fruit only after they are fully grown is that this state is most conducive to photosynthesis and the absorption of carbon dioxide and other substances in the air.
When everything is ready, the fruit will grow relatively quickly. It only takes two and a half months for the fruit to grow from budding to maturity.
Ripe fruits must be harvested within a month, otherwise they will break away from the plant, in which case it will be more difficult to collect them in the waves.
It is now mid-October, and half of the harvest period of this offshore farm has passed. If the harvest is not completed by early November, the losses will be huge.
After harvesting, which begins in November and lasts for more than two months, these plants will slowly lose their vitality and be decomposed by seawater into nutrients that can be eaten by fish and shrimp.
In order not to waste these nutrients, the offshore farm will also set up many fishing grounds in designated areas. By the beginning of next year, that is, at the end of January, a large amount of fish, shrimp and other seafood can be harvested.
To be honest, if these fish and shrimps are not allowed to eat the decomposed nutrients, it will consume the oxygen in the seawater, causing local seawater hypoxia, which will cause pollution to the ocean, and the fish and shrimps will not be able to survive.
Fortunately, the decomposition of this plant is a slow and orderly process. As long as enough fish and shrimp are cultured when the decomposition begins, it will basically not have a very big impact on the sea water.
Otherwise, they cannot be allowed to decompose like this and must be harvested. Otherwise, there will be no way to plant in this area next year. If not treated, after a few years of planting, this sea area will be completely destroyed.
Everyone waited until the ship was close to the offshore platform, and they were still looking at the scenery outside the window. The green oil had a little yellow in it, and it stretched as far as the eye could see. It was quite shocking as the sea rolled in and out.
Not to mention them, as a developer of this plant, Zhao was quite shocked when he saw it. No matter what it was, as long as the quantity increased, it would give people a shocking feeling. What's more, it was still at sea.
After everyone boarded the offshore platform, they did not stay here longer, and then boarded a harvest ship. This kind of ship was specially modified and equipped with numerous mechanical equipment.
The harvesting ship slowly left the offshore platform and headed towards the sea area that had not yet been harvested. About ten minutes later, the ship arrived at the sea area that had not yet been harvested.
Everyone also came out of the cabin one after another, wanting to see how this kind of ship harvested this kind of pomegranate-like food.
I saw a gripper-type device placed on the platforms on both sides of the ship, followed by a huge net bag. The gripper would automatically float when placed on the sea.
But as soon as he encounters a huge leaf, he will immediately approach it, sink to the bottom of the sea, grab the vines of the plant, and slowly move down from the top.
When it touches a fruit, one of its claws will act like a sickle, directly separating the fruit from the vine. Then the other claws will hold the fruit, and then put the fruit into the net bag at the back.
Since this equipment is equipped with a waterproof camera, this process can be monitored by the crew. After seeing this, the surveyors discovered that it is quite convenient to harvest.
When the claw device is moved from the top to the bottom, all the fruits above are picked and put into the net bag. Then the vines are released, and the rope connecting the ship will slowly pull up the device and the net bag.
In this way, the fruits of a plant are harvested. The crew unloads the net bag that is already full of fruits and installs another empty net bag for the next harvest.
Since both sides of the ship are covered with such gripping devices, the overall picking speed is very fast. There are many picking ships like this around.
Because their golden harvest time is only one month, if they miss it, it will cause very heavy losses. In order to ensure that they can harvest all the crops, the agricultural and animal husbandry companies can only increase the number of such ships.
After watching the entire harvesting process, members of the inspection team were filled with admiration. They originally thought that operating at sea would be more difficult, but they found that the process was basically mechanized and automated.
Among the crew members, except for one person who keeps an eye on the monitoring screen to prevent accidents, the other crew members only need to remove the harvested net bags and replace them with empty net bags.
Even the movement of net bags filled with fruits has a special crane to transfer them to the storage warehouse. Not only is the task not heavy, but they can also take a break while holding their paws in the water to harvest.
Half a day passed, and the ship's cabin was filled with fruits. It was time to return. After putting away the grippers and other equipment, the ship began to return to the offshore platform.
After the ship approached the offshore platform, the inspection team disembarked and came to the offshore platform. A transport ship had already docked at the offshore platform. After the harvesting ship stopped, a hook was stretched out to lift the netted fruits on the harvesting ship. On the transport ship. (End of chapter)
