Chapter 653: Changes in the Times

This is a truly flourishing era, whether it is culture, science, education, art, etc., all have begun to develop in great strides.

In the past, because of the small population, there was no spare energy to develop unimportant things, but now the development speed is simply too fast. Most things have become intuitive and simple like "1+1=2". The linear increase in the speed of brain calculations seems to have slowed down the passage of time. People have more energy to focus on what they like, and it is easy to achieve success.

Just like Yu Yifeng wrote a novel of one million words in just two hours... He even took time to write it after handling all official business, which is equivalent to his spare time.

In this way, how can you not be energetic?

At the same time, the years of learning have been greatly shortened. Basically, every adult can easily learn more cutting-edge knowledge in two or three years!

There are no... any obstacles!

This learning speed is really a bit exaggerated, but it is the real fact!

Students no longer have to worry about math being too abstract or physics being too profound; engineers no longer have to worry about designing something and considering all kinds of equations, etc. With a little thought, all kinds of Fourier fitting functions and Bezier curves can be easily produced; programmers can easily code 100,000 lines of programs a day, and there are basically no bugs.

However, this is far from all...

Because exponential intellectual iteration has quietly begun, the "acceleration" of people's progress is also increasing day by day!

Ever since the aliens "blacked" there and obtained brain chip technology, the new humans have always wanted to complete the research on auxiliary brains. But it took nearly a thousand years to make the first generation of auxiliary brains in the true sense. Especially in the next four hundred years, almost the whole civilization's strength was exhausted, and every drop of wisdom was exhausted, but it was barely completed.

However, the second generation of stronger and more complete auxiliary brains took only... twenty years for 30,000 scientists.

The third generation of even stronger auxiliary brains took only ten years!

The fourth generation is still under development and is expected to be completed within five years!

Of course, for the sake of safety and stability, only the second generation is currently being promoted on a large scale... The third generation is only in the testing stage. In other words, the speed of people's theoretical practice is far less than the speed of development!

The great power of human-machine combination has turned new human citizens into natural "strong artificial intelligence". If you have not experienced the infinite iteration of intelligence, you will never know this infinitely high power...

On this day, programmer Wang Zhiyuan was in front of the computer, enthusiastically debugging a new project that was about to be completed: the test of virtual network space.

As expected, this is an Internet network composed of brain waves.

And Wang Zhiyuan himself was originally an engineer in the field of mining machines, but he came to develop the Internet... Not to mention, he was perfectly qualified for this part of the job.

Since the silicon-based transformation, almost everyone has become an all-round genius. The original programmer can become a biologist after learning for a while; the original biologist may be reading some cutting-edge physics books...

In this way, the original refined social division of labor has been transformed into a free division of labor at will.

This free division of labor is the first major change in the entire society in 30 years.

But this division of labor has not caused the social productivity to decline, but has made the productivity increase exponentially.

The omnipotence of personal abilities has also led to the emergence of more super scientists in the entire new human society. All disciplines are interrelated, and the connection between them is like the "Ren and Du Meridians" being opened, making all kinds of wonderful ideas emerge like mushrooms after rain.

The second major change that followed was the extensive use of "brain waves".

Brain waves make the communication of the entire society smoother and more convenient, and make the connection between people closer.

During the second brain upgrade, scientists have normalized the bioelectric waves emitted by the human brain, and then installed a low-power electromagnetic signal transmitter at the back of the neck.

In this way, mutual communication using brain waves has become a real reality.

When people speak, the normal speaking speed is 150 words per minute, which is too little information. Even if the body can be transformed, it is impossible to transform the throat to speak at a speed of... 10,000 words per minute.

Because of the slow speaking speed, more and more people can't stand this slow communication...

It doesn't matter if you speak slowly at ordinary times, even if you are enjoying the fun of life and returning to your original habits. Brain cells themselves need rest, and this slow communication is not bad as a normal rest.

But the restrictions of slow communication at work are too great... No, it's too great to be unbearable! With the rapid development of the new human race, papers with millions of words have become commonplace. Even in recent years, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of words have been published...

In such a highly complex situation, if academic papers are still communicated slowly through "dialogue", it will take several months just to explain a paper, which is really too time-consuming...

Also because of the linear increase in the complexity of papers, the speaking speed is too slow, and there are fewer and fewer academic exchange meetings. Everyone likes to read the literature on their own and understand it individually. At the very least, reading text is much faster.

In order to increase interpersonal communication and avoid a series of negative social effects, coupled with the appeals of a large number of scientists, the government department considered again and again and released the "brain wave direct communication" technology.

Using brain waves to communicate directly face to face will make communication much less effortful. At present, the relatively common transmission speed is that 1 second is enough to transmit several petabytes of data.

The large-capacity storage device in the human body allows the brain to slowly read and digest this information after receiving it.

Of course, normal brainwave conversations do not need to be transmitted so fast. It is almost enough to exchange hundreds of thousands of words in one minute.

Some bold young people have become accustomed to using brain waves to communicate with each other in just ten years...

In terms of brainwave communication, the alien "Black" can be said to be an authoritative expert. The Metamos civilization he used to belong to is a creature that naturally uses brainwaves to communicate. Although the Metamos civilization has not cracked the final secret of the brain, its innate abilities and behavioral patterns can still be learned by new humans.

As a result, in just ten years, New Humanity has formulated many safety standards for the use of brain waves, as well as various anti-addiction facilities, etc...

The development and use of brain waves have brought about great social changes. Its influence and the depth of excavation are far from over. New humans were not creatures that used brain waves to communicate before. Adding this function requires many rules to be formulated.

Take the simplest example: the brainwave Internet currently under development.

Wang Zhiyuan's team has a total of 3,000 people. In the past few years, they have installed various large and small information processing devices and electronic eyes on the Pangu. The purpose of installing these devices is to complete the brainwave Internet!

"Now that people and computers are integrated together, and the original Internet is gradually becoming obsolete, we can develop a new network that uses brain waves to enter directly, abandoning the original computer intermediary."

"In this way, it is more convenient and faster to directly use resources on the Internet. It can also extend the current short-distance dialogue to long-distance dialogue."

This kind of thinking is also natural as the times progress. People are even less likely to stop eating due to choking due to safety and other factors. The development of brainwave Internet is not difficult. In two years, the project was basically completed.
