Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 904 The Beginning of Infection

Even from the very beginning of the company's establishment—when Li Shoucheng introduced Mr. Liu and the others to purchase services that afternoon, Chen Yan already knew in his heart that for a self-made entrepreneur like him, if he wants to carry out the primitive accumulation of capital, he must have enough money. Fierce—to earn money from the poor!
You can only earn money from the poor.

Knowing these facts, Chen Yan calmed down, and therefore concluded that the seemingly explosive situation before him was just a bluff that the poor ghosts had no choice but to gather to protect their meager interests.

'It stands to reason that this kind of disease should be a spontaneous disease-as long as the brain machine is installed, the consciousness and the brain machine are not compatible, and the accumulated program operation errors cause the brain machine to go wrong, there may be omnidirectional disease. '

A few thoughts flashed through Chen Yan's mind.

'But Liu Ye and the others obviously only installed the omnic prosthetic body and did not install the brain machine, so how could they have the symptoms of omnic disease? '

'Could it be... this disease is something like a program virus, can it be transmitted?
Viruses can be transmitted between omnic devices, so even pure omnic prosthetics can't escape.

But omnic devices are produced through neutralization of carbon-based silicon, which logically should belong to the category of [bioelectronic devices]. Then this virus...can it even infect normal human cells? '

Chen Yan was unable to verify his guess for the time being.

He doesn't necessarily have to verify this guess.

Chen Yan knows that starting a business depends on making money from the poor, and also knows that making money has to be done slowly, especially now, the poor must see that their company can still provide services.

Chen Yan looked at the increasingly angry people in front of him, and knew that he had to leave a statement, so he said loudly:

"The infection of the omnic disease came from the imperial capital, and I am here to deal with it for everyone! Please wait for me here for a while, and I will definitely give you an explanation!"

Chen Yan pushed the culprit to the empire, which was too huge to be touched at all, while passing through the crowd at the same time, meeting every angry gaze with sincere eyes.

The crowd became suspicious of Chen Yan's statement and sincere attitude—they doubted the anger they poured on Chen Yan, and then made way for him—the purpose of their coming here was not to reprimand, but to It is for healing.

If you offend Chen Yan in order to vent your anger and cause problems in the follow-up treatment, the loss outweighs the gain.

Chen Yan also knew about this, so he didn't even hide from the people in the crowd who seemed to be hiding weapons.

He just passed through the crowd smoothly and entered the hive where the company was located.

It was already evening, and most of the company's employees had already left work. Only the crow on the first floor and a researcher from the brain-computer laboratory on the third floor were still here.

The two finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Chen Yan.

"You are back."

Crow's demeanor and tone were all serious, completely gone from the previous appearance of a philistine and small businessman.

"Today evening, the mechanical hive suddenly broke out with omnic disease, without any signs, and the symptoms are different from those in the imperial capital!"

Chen Yan asked:

"What's the difference in symptoms?"

The crow looked around, and the researchers from the brain-computer laboratory on the third floor said:

"The main differences are:
The prevalence of omnic disease in the imperial capital is only disrupting the normal operation of the program, causing the omnic equipment to go down, at most it is unable to think, and falls into shock;

The meteor omnic disease of the mechanical hive will directly destroy the power consumption components in the chip of the omnic device, causing the entire device to rapidly heat up to a temperature that cannot be tolerated by the human body. "

Chen Yan frowned and said:
"Will it burn your brain?"

The researchers said:

"It's not just as simple as burning out the brain. Just now the Mechanical Hive Central Hospital announced a case of brain burning out. The patient went crazy after the brain was destroyed, and caused several medical staff casualties."

Chen Yan was shocked.

What surprised him was not the particularity and serious consequences of this symptom, but something else:

Seeing such a result, the public will lose confidence in this new technology if it is not resolved as soon as possible, and this situation will definitely cause damage to his company's business.

As a fellow of Chen Yan, Wu Ya saw the slight change in the expression on Chen Yan's face, and immediately knew what Chen Yan was thinking, and interjected:

"Actually, it's not a big deal. This example is quite extreme, and it's just this one case. The other people who had implanted brain machines were relieved after being injected with the brain machine slow-release solution. Basically, their lives are not in danger... just My brain became not so good, I stumbled when I spoke, and my logic was not smooth."

This description...is like Van Brinmersh.

From the perspective of his own interests, Chen Yan defined this matter:

"We can't predict whether the island chain's omnibus disease will continue to evolve, let alone predict what it will eventually evolve into. The most urgent thing is to find a way that works as much as possible."

Based on the news just now, he asked:
"Is there any other remedy? Things like slow-release fluid are not a long-term solution."

The researcher nodded:

"There are already countermeasures in the imperial capital. Several large companies have jointly launched repair patches for several major program loopholes on the path of the outbreak of omnic disease. After applying these patches to the brain and computer, the problem of incompatibility between consciousness and brain and computer has been eliminated. It has been improved to a great extent, and several program loopholes that caused the brain machine to crash have also been patched. In this way, as long as the transmission of omnic disease through the network is blocked, patients suffering from omnic disease can be cured. Opportunities, people who will do omnic transformation in the future don’t need to worry too much.”

Chen Yan pondered and said:
"But people are often irrational. If something like this happens, it will definitely deal a considerable blow to the company that owns the omnic business."

Speaking of this, the crow suddenly got excited:
"The leading company in the omnic industry, Byron Weiss Group, has dropped by 3 percentage points in the Imperial stock market, and its market value has evaporated by 3 million!"

In terms of the purchasing power of the imperial pound, 3 million is really not a small number.

Crow obviously has research, and Chen Yan is very interested, but now is not the time to discuss this.

Chen Yan asked the researchers:
"Can we use their patch?"

The other party replied:
"No, they encrypted it, and only their product customers can use it..."

The researcher was a little hesitant when he said these words, but under Chen Yan's encouraging eyes, he still said the words:

"The software part of the brain computer is not a normal programming language, but an assembly language mixed with strange characters.

We figured out the usage of those strange characters according to the instructions you gave, but we don't know the meaning of those characters. (Chapter 865, Wan Brinmersh gave Byron Weiss Group's brain-computer development log and related technical instructions to the counterfeiter)
And these strange characters, they are also used in the patch.

Not only that, the empire [Brain Computer Technology Commune] headed by the Byron Weiss Group has also applied for a patent for this unique assembly language. "

The crow interjected in a "feeling very bad" tone:
"Patent licensing fees are sky-high for us, so don't even think about it."

The researcher nodded:

"Patent infringement fees are also a huge amount of money, and that will cause us to make ends meet."

Chen Yan looked at him in surprise, heard the hidden meaning in this sentence, and asked:
"The laboratory's funds have run out?"

The researcher blushed and nodded.

People who work in technology are usually not so thoughtful. Chen Yan immediately understood that the researcher stayed after get off work today to ask him for money.

When Chen Yan set up that laboratory, he planned to burn money for a long time. He calculated the amount of money spent until now, and felt that it was probably acceptable, so he said:

"I'll transfer the next fund to the laboratory account later, and you can spend it as you please, without saving me money."

The researcher thanked him again and again for his loyalty, and the overjoyed expression couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

Technicians like such layman bosses, because they don’t know much, so they don’t interfere in the process of technological research at all, they only care about giving money and getting results. greater play in the situation.

The researcher was excited. Although he was a law-abiding and good citizen, he still did something irrational because of the excitement at this moment:
"Actually, for us, the threshold for patents is not that high."

Chen Yan heard what was hidden in his hesitation, so he didn't interrupt him, but just looked at him expectantly.

The encouragement from the boss immediately gave him confidence. Although he lowered his voice, he could still hear the eagerness in his tone:
"Actually, I have studied with several other colleagues before, and there are only two hard foundations for the companies in Imperial Capital to solve this problem, one is the patented technology of the software language, and the other is the computer with a special chip architecture.

We can solve these two things now.

The patented software technology is encrypted. [Brain Computer Technology Commune] has set a high threshold for a large number of small omnipotent prosthetic body grafting workshops, but for us, this threshold does not exist, because we have already mastered That special assembly language.

A computer with a special chip architecture is a problem with the chip. We have purchased a 12nm process lithography machine in the past few days. Although the chip produced is not powerful, the special architecture can be produced.

But, this is the patent..."

Chen Yan looked into his eyes, and the words he said completely broke through his bottom line as a technician:
"Can't you just crack their patch and use it?"

The researcher has never had such a simple and rude idea, and he hesitated in his heart, and his words also stumbled:
"It's not impossible ... it's just that this kind of practice is too immoral, and if you are caught, you will face a large fine."

Chen Yan thought about it:
"Is it possible to add a shell to this cracked patch, disguise it as our own patch, and then apply our own encryption method?"

Researchers dry mouth:

"This...this is too..."

Chen Yan frowned and said:
"That's not okay? Are you afraid that even if this is the case, after being unpacked, you will still use this as a voucher and impose a large fine on us?"

The researchers replied:

"indeed so."

Chen Yan continued:
"Then you can see if this works - didn't we say before that the omnic disease prevalent in the mechanical hive is different from the omnic disease in the imperial capital?

Can we customize the corresponding omnipotent prosthesis or brain-machine vulnerability patch according to the omnibus disease of the mechanical hive?

For this patch, let's not spend time doing it ourselves, and just modify it directly on the patch of the Imperial Capital Omnic Disease vulnerability in [Brain Computer Technology Commune], okay?Is this a lot of work? "

This approach finally met the researcher's ethics, so he said:
"Yes! And if we make a vulnerability patch for the mechanical hive omnic disease based on their patch, our workload will be greatly reduced."

Chen Yan reminded:
"The key is to have it work."

At this point, the researchers hesitated.

His hesitation made Chen Yan feel a little cold.

"Boss, you know, fundamentally speaking, there is no way to cure omnic disease."

The voice of the researcher is getting smaller and smaller:

"Even the most precise transistor structure, or even a chip with a manufacturing process beyond the nanometer, cannot fully simulate a person's entire ideology."

"Although people use brain waves to carry out thinking processes, and brain-computers also simulate thinking through mimic neural networks, as far as the current level of bioelectronic technology is concerned, using brain-computer mimic neural networks to simulate the complete consciousness of human beings is a impossible--

The process of human thinking and consciousness is too complicated. The mimic neural network seems to simulate all human nerve impulses and brain wave signals, but in fact it still misses a lot.

For example, the brain wave signal representing the subconscious mind is very weak, and it uses two consciousness signal systems with the subjective consciousness. The mimic neural network can only simulate the brain wave signal of the subconscious mind to a certain extent, but there is no way to completely simulate it. its restored.

In addition to subconsciousness, there are also weaker consciousnesses, such as dreams, and ideologies at the same level as dreams. These are also things that cannot be simulated by the mimic neural network.

Moreover, according to the latest research from the Institute of Bioelectronics at Imperial National College, under the electrical signal at the level of dreams, there is a deeper level of ideology hidden.

Anyway..."

The researchers summed up what they had to say with an Asian slang phrase:

"The research and exploration of brain machines has a long way to go."

What he said was a bit complicated, and Chen Yan couldn't understand what theory he was based on to make such a judgment. He only knew one conclusion——

Brains and computers cannot simulate all human thinking, which is the root cause of omniscience, and the current technology has no solution to this situation.

Chen Yan said in a deep voice:
"So, even if we make a targeted patch for the omnic disease that broke out in the mechanical hive, the next wave of omnic disease will still break out again at some point in the future."

The researchers responded in the affirmative:

"Yes."
