Chapter 1035 How the Future World Is Made
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 didn't know what the influence system would do. If it was a brand new subject, he would 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 mysterious human emotions and thinking.
There are three benefits of this chip, the first being extremely fast calculations.
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 calculation and 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 conductor to help process human thinking.
This is the second advantage: 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, the 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 condition of the body.
In this way, it creates excellent conditions for future virtual community hospitals to directly conduct virtual consultations with users.
The current virtual consultation is only limited to daily diseases. Only those experts in traditional Chinese medicine can judge diseases by taking the pulse.
No matter how good Chang Tian was, he couldn'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. But going to a strange place to see a doctor, the expenses along the way and the cost of accommodation are not counted. The key is to waste time, you have to go for an examination, and you have to wait for the results of the examination. Should the patient go back or stay in a big city?
I read a news before, saying that a couple went to the United States for medical treatment. They spent more than 100,000 yuan in three to five days and had to wait a few weeks for the results. However, the couple had no money and could not borrow , and finally had to return home.
If they can see a doctor in the virtual world, then the travel expenses can be saved as medicine expenses, and they can persist for a longer time. Birth is not original sin, but it does make the difference between life and death. If biochip technology is popularized, such differences will be reduced or even disappeared, benefiting the general population.
The second benefit of biochips is that human life will be greatly increased.
Just imagine, with a biochip, it is as if a team of doctors is testing your body with all the testing equipment. If you have a small problem, you can find it immediately and adjust it in time.
In fact, many diseases are not difficult to treat at the beginning. The problem is that when people find out, there is often no time. Some diseases do not have much impact on human beings in the early and middle stages. Only in the late stage, the body will not be able to bear it and start to feel uncomfortable. At that time, the pain may have spread to the whole body, so how can it be treated?
Don't always say that people should have medical examinations on time, that's not realistic at all. We all know who are the people who can do the physical examination on time, either they have money and leisure, or the unit is very good. But the vast majority of people do not have this condition. Many people estimate that they will only have a physical examination once in their lifetime when they are seriously ill.
Furthermore, those routine physical examinations are also difficult to find some hidden diseases, and the cost of screening out these malignant diseases is unimaginable, and it is estimated that only a very small number of extremely important people can enjoy it. If some diseases attack the human body during the physical examination, it may be too late until the next physical examination.
With biochips, early detection and early treatment are possible, and no longer pin your hopes on physical examinations.
The last benefit is to achieve the most reasonable allocation of resources and improve the level of treatment.
The treatment level of hospitals in many places is not high, but it cannot be revoked, because it is an essential facility for people's lives. Once you can conduct consultations in the virtual world, everyone will choose those doctors with strong abilities to see a doctor, and the income of such capable doctors will rise rapidly.
What if you can't get an appointment with that kind of good doctor? Then make an appointment with the next-level doctor, and so on.
In order to increase their income, these doctors will try their best to improve their level. Those doctors who do not improve themselves and try to dawdle offline will gradually lose their ability to stay in their original units. Then those hospitals will be reduced in size, and the extra doctors will be dismissed except for the minimum requirements to ensure people's livelihood.
Then there is the tilt of funds and medical resources. Good doctors and hospitals will get more investment, and the higher the front, the more popular they are. In this way, people who are fooling around and with mixed titles are eliminated, and the waste of some hospitals in reality is also eliminated.
It is not their fault that a lot of medicines in many hospitals can't be used up after the expiration date, and no one can estimate the dosage, excluding those who have ulterior motives, this is actually quite normal.
Once the consultation in the virtual world can be realized, the production and purchase of medicines will be reasonable. After all, medicines are prescribed according to the doctor’s consultation, and you only buy what you lack, not what you buy for what you use. Doctors in many hospitals actually know the best medicine to prescribe, but the hospital itself does not, so they can only bite the bullet and prescribe it. I don't dare to ask people to go out to which pharmacy to buy, otherwise people will say that the doctor and the hospital have bought shares in the pharmacy outside, and there are no people at both ends.
Chen Xiao quickly figured out a lot of things, and things still have to be done step by step. It's useless to think so, let's talk about things first.
Summarizing the relevant research and development instructions, Chen Xiao returned from South Africa and returned to Changzezhou Zhizhi Life Science and Medical Laboratory to start experiments.
For the boss who suddenly took out something good, the researchers have become so used to it that they are numb. They don't know what the boss is like. Why are there so many good ideas? Where did these ideas and technologies come from?
As the leader in this area, Qu Ping was even more shocked. This old classmate was not so dazzling before. Even if he had some learning talents, he couldn't reach this level. Over the years, the things he has come up with have a large span and a high level, as if he is an omniscient and omnipotent person.
Sometimes, knowledge is also a kind of sexy. Obviously, in Qu Ping's eyes, Chen Xiao is the sexiest and most exciting man in the world. It's a pity that there are too many excellent women around him.
Putting away these messy thoughts, Qu Ping put her energy into research and development.
In fact, the idea of developing biochips is not very complicated. After all, with neuron computing group technology ahead, the next step is to miniaturize this technology and arrange it more reasonably to achieve maximum application efficiency.
However, since the original biochip could not be put into production immediately, it is now just a relatively huge model, which is as big as a fist.
This is the original model, and all ideas are tried here, and the miniaturization will start once it is feasible.
It's just that the idea of miniaturization is not very easy to imagine. The direction of the first step is a flat layout. 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 carry out the experiment of computing ability, all units pay attention, enter the computing topic now."
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.
"Increasingly arranged neuronal computing groups."
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 calculations.
After doing such an 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 can only keep up with the processing requirements by making the chip the size of a scalp." 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.
That is, 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 a square chip, right?
This kind of chip has a lot of requirements. It is like a pipe rolled up by barbed wire. Those wires are the neuron computing group. The gaps are left to allow blood to circulate and minimize the discomfort of the body.
But this is no small test for manufacturing capabilities, and it requires smaller neuron computing groups and more computing power.
In line with the progress here, the manufacturing department also formed 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.
The requirements for the cultivation environment are very strict. Humidity, temperature, light, and nutrient ratio are all very particular. If you are not careful, you will grow messy things.
Once successful, all factors are carefully documented to reproduce perfectly 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 work this time?" Seeing the original model that was more than ten times smaller, everyone was full of hope. The original model is so small, it is because of the need to zoom in on purpose to observe the details. If it is fully compressed, it is estimated that it is not as big as a nail piece.
"Start!" A new round of experiments started in anticipation.
