When Chen Xiao saw [Expand physical and chemical machinery: 1. Ordinary lithium battery technology (LV20), 2. Power system (LV3)], he couldn't help but feel nervous. This is the penultimate line. Let's look down. That's what's new.
He doesn't know what the influence system will give. If it is a brand new subject, he will probably have to work hard on his side. If it is consistent with the original discipline, but the span is too large, scientists will also be exhausted.
Fortunately, the system is quite kind, giving:
[Expand Intelligent Creatures: 1. Biochip (LV3)])
[Can produce biochips connected with brain thinking]
"Biochip?" Chen Xiao couldn't wait to read the introduction, and after reading it, he couldn't help calling it awesome.
In fact, biochips have some relationship with carbon-based chips, and they are all researched from the characteristics of carbon-based organisms.
The difference is that biochips are chips placed in the human brain, and carbon-based chips are placed in electronic products.
The biochip is equivalent to the upgraded technology of the neuron computing group (all composed of neuron cells), which can cooperate with the brain to perform more sophisticated and complex calculations, and can handle more subtle human emotions and thinking.
This chip has three advantages, the first is extremely fast calculation speed.
Once humans use biochips, no matter what they think about, this chip can immediately exchange information with the brain, which is much higher than the current wearable devices, which still need to transmit thoughts to wearable devices before they start to respond. This kind of biochip is like a part of the brain, just do it directly.
The specific application scenarios are not difficult to imagine. Assuming that the user is an aerospace worker, then he can perform quick calculations based on the physics and mathematical formulas he understands.
But this kind of chip only speeds up the computational thinking speed of human beings, and cannot enhance the understanding ability of human beings themselves.
The better a person understands a certain formula, the faster he can get the correct answer.
On the contrary, if a person does not know much about the formula, it is useless to think about the interaction faster.
Therefore, while it can process complex data itself, it can also serve as a product transmitter to help deal with human thinking.
This is the second benefit: it can cancel mobile phones and wearable devices, install careful quantum communication devices directly on the head, and directly realize external information exchange.
As I said before, the biochip is equivalent to a part of the brain, so it can directly image the brain and retina, and no longer needs wearable devices to project on the brain, nor does it need the screen projection function of mobile phones.
People only need to move their minds, and they can enjoy the Internet, virtual world, and even make direct phone calls and make video contact.
Everything is as if the world is in one thought, which is extremely convenient.
The last benefit is that the biochip can automatically access the brain's exercise state, identify blood flow signals passing through the biochip, and read various blood indicators.
This means that biochips are doing physical examinations for human beings all the time. In addition to blood routine, there are also liver, kidney, heart, gastrointestinal and other indicators that can be read. This lays the foundation for human beings to identify adverse diseases such as cancer in advance. Base.
In addition to blood indicators, the brain also receives various signals from the body, such as illness and lumbar muscle strain. After all, the brain is the most important part of the human body, and everything about the body cannot be hidden from the brain.
Sometimes it doesn't have to be through the blood, but some body fluids and hormone levels can also be used to judge the body's condition.
In this way, it creates excellent conditions for future virtual community hospitals to directly conduct virtual consultations with users.
The current virtual consultation is still limited to daily diseases. Only those experts in traditional Chinese medicine can judge diseases by taking the pulse. As for Western medicine, which relies heavily on examination, it is really fatal.
No matter how good Chang Tian is, he can't completely reproduce the MRI in the virtual world.
Now with the biochip, these inspections are saved, and the data can be directly uploaded to the server. The rest is for the doctor to make a virtual diagnosis based on the seriousness of the condition, and then go to offline to get medicine, perform surgery, and be hospitalized for observation.
If such a technology can really be realized, human life will undergo earth-shaking changes.
The first is convenience. Just imagine, people from all over the world will get sick. Some people are born in small places, so it is very difficult for them to go to big cities with good medical conditions to see a doctor.
However, the medical level and medical resources in small places are limited. When they find some incurable diseases, they will suggest to go to big cities.Now that the neuron computing group technology is in the front, the next step is to miniaturize this technology, arrange it more reasonably, and achieve the maximum application efficiency.
However, since the biochip at the beginning could not be put into production immediately, it is now just a relatively huge model, which is as big as a fist.
This is not only the original model, all ideas are tried here, and the miniaturization will start once it is feasible.
It's just that the idea of ??miniaturization is not easy to conceive. The direction of going at the beginning is planar arrangement. The advantage of this is that it is neat and controllable, simple and clear. For the initial technology, the problem of having and not having to be solved first.
As a group of neurons are continuously arranged, the whole model looks a bit complex and sci-fi. This is a reference to the arrangement of general chips. The advantage of this is that it is relatively flat and occupies an area after being placed in the brain. Should take up less space.
"Now conduct the experiment of computing ability, all units pay attention, now enter the computing topic."
The experiment started soon, and the effect is not bad, but the computing power is not very strong, which proves that there is no problem with the design idea and it can work.
"Increase the arranged neuron computing group."
So more neuron computing groups were arranged on the original model. When the computing power was achieved, everyone found that the area was a bit large, and it was difficult to meet the application requirements for miniaturization according to the current technology.
The team did not give up, increased or decreased the number of neuron computing groups, and then changed the layout of the plane to perform the same calculation.
After doing this kind of experiment several times, it was found that it didn't work at all, and it couldn't meet the processing requirements.
"It seems that the traditional arrangement will not work. We make the chip the size of a scalp to keep up with the processing requirements." Qu Ping reported the progress.
Chen Xiao didn't feel surprised, the new technology couldn't be so fast. But there is no need to worry too much. Strictly speaking, this technology belongs to the innovation of applied technology. There are basic principles, and it depends on how it is designed.
After several discussions, the team implements additive processing.
In other words, neuron computing groups are superimposed layer by layer like building a round tower. This mode is more suitable for the human body. The round tube is placed in the blood vessel, which fits better and is safer. At least it is safer than the square chip, right?
This kind of chip has a lot of requirements. It is like a pipe rolled up by barbed wire. Those iron wires are the neuron computing group. The gaps are left to allow blood to circulate and minimize the discomfort of the body.
However, it is not a small test for manufacturing capabilities, and it requires smaller neuron computing groups and stronger computing power.
Cooperating with the progress here, the manufacturing department also set up a technical team for public relations, and quickly improved the technology.
The specific idea is to set up a screening channel, so that neurons that meet the standard can be stably produced, and those neurons that are too large will be excluded, and then the culture dish for stably cultivating compliant neurons will be left for further processing. Screening so that later-produced neurons tend to be smaller.
This is very demanding for the cultivation environment. Humidity, temperature, light, and nutrient ratio are all very particular. If you are not careful, you will grow messy things.
Once successful, all factors that are documented in detail must be perfectly reproduced until stable production is achieved.
This shows from the side that theoretical progress and manufacturing progress are complementary, and no matter who can't keep up, both will stagnate.
"Should it be okay this time?" Looking at the original model, which is more than ten times smaller, everyone is full of hope. The original model is so small, which is why the demand for deliberately zooming in to observe the details is so great. If it is fully compressed, it is estimated that it is not as big as a nail piece.
"Start!" A new round of experiments has begun in anticipation.
