Chapter 933 Brain-Computer Interaction: The Key to Unifying Global Currency

"How long will your boss take?"

"It will probably take until six or seven o'clock, dinner time."

"When you're done, one of you come over and tell me, I need something from your boss."

Tang Ren said a few words to the bodyguard on the flat ground, then took the old man and the young man behind him to Villa No. 117 on the left.

Zhang Heping had seen this old man and this young boy before. They were Tang Jun, the eldest son of Tang Xin's uncle, and Tang Jun's little grandson Tang Chu.

Tang Jun walked into the villa hall with a cane. When he saw the old man sitting on the sofa who looked 10 to 20 years younger than him, he walked over excitedly.

"Fourth Uncle!" Tang Jun shouted with half surprise and half hope.

"Sit down!" Tang Ming said with a smile, "Longjing, Biluochun, Maofeng, Yunwu, Yinzhen, Maojian, Tieguanyin, what would you like to drink?"

"Pu'er tea is fine!" Tang Jun sat on the sofa next to Tang Ming and replied with a smile: "Ah Xin sends us Pu'er tea every year, we are used to it."

Without waiting for Tang Ming's instructions, Tang Ren instructed the nanny who came over after hearing the news to make tea.

"We have already agreed with Heping about the drug trial." Tang Ming picked up a box of Panda cigarettes on the coffee table and handed one to his nephew Tang Jun, who looked very old.

After Tang Jun took the cigarette, he was about to take out his lighter to light it for Tang Ming when his little grandson Tang Chu handed him a copper lighter.

"You smoke yours!" Tang Ming put down the cigarette box with a smile, not giving the other party a chance to light it. "Heping doesn't allow me to smoke. He said it can stabilize the effect of the medicine and delay aging."

"After getting older and experiencing the days when parts of my body just weren't working for me, I started to cherish my body even more."

"After you use the 120-year lifespan potion and throw away this cane, I believe you will stay away from tobacco and alcohol."

Upon hearing this, Tang Jun suppressed his urge to smoke and did not rush to light his cigarette.

Xu Jiefeng led a group of women who had just been playing mahjong downstairs and greeted them with a smile, "Mr. Tang is here! Did you have a smooth boat trip here?"

"Fourth Aunt!" Tang Jun stood up hurriedly and looked at Fourth Aunt Xu Jiefeng, who was also much younger than him. His anticipation for the 120-year lifespan potion grew even stronger.

"Hurry up and sit down!" Xu Jiefeng smiled and looked at the young man next to her. "Is this Ah Chu? It's been a few years since we last met. Are you married?"

……

Director Wang, who had just visited Renheyi Community in the morning, came again in the afternoon around lunchtime.

The main reason she came this time was to tell Zhang Heping that 10 blood samples from the drug testers had arrived last August.

Combined with the blood of 62 drug testers last month, 72 blood samples should be produced in April.

Although Zhang Heping tightened the approval process for the Shouyuan 120 drug and suspended the drug trials and automated production in Shenzhen, Hua Lao and Director Wang are still trying their best to maintain the pyramid mass production plan that was originally set out.

In their opinion, as long as the production of Zhang Heping's 120-year-old potion increases month by month, the claim that Zhang Heping uses the 120-year-old potion to form cliques will be self-defeating.

Unfortunately, this guy is a donkey!
After Zhang Heping finished the game for an hour and gained 1% of his Grand Master proficiency, he spoke to Director Wang normally.

Afterwards, Zhang Heping went to the villa on the left and had a brief chat with Tang Jun and the others. He then asked Tang Ren and the others to take Tang Jun to the Cosmetology Department of Heping Hospital to prepare for a physical examination, recuperation, and other matters.

Afterwards, he went home to get some food, and then took a car down the mountain with Director Wang to prepare to process the 10 blood samples.

"You allow Taiwanese to try the drug, is it because someone in Taiwan is restricting Taiwanese from exchanging RMB?"

Zhang Heping was originally thinking about other things, but when Director Wang interrupted him, he frowned and said, "That's Ah Xin's relative. You're overthinking it!"

"Also, I don't have time to deal with all that mess lately, so don't try to test me with that."

As he was speaking, a call came to Zhang Heping's mobile phone. It was from Tang Wei, the head of Heping Smart Technology Company.

"Master!" Tang Wei confirmed that it was Zhang Heping on the other end of the line and went straight to the point. "I heard that the 160 satellites in the first phase of the Space Cloud Server plan have been deployed. When do you think our company can join the related commercial development?"

"Just contact Heping Aerospace directly!" Zhang Heping frowned. Why did they ask him about such a small matter?

"I contacted Mr. Lu from Heping Aerospace this morning..." As Tang Wei was saying this, Zhang Heping suddenly pressed the speakerphone button and placed it between him and Director Wang. "He said he would report this to his superiors, but he hasn't replied yet."

"I just want to confirm with you whether he told you about this."

"If I don't get a reply from you by tomorrow noon, call me again!" Zhang Heping said and hung up the phone.

Director Wang only heard the end of the story and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"

Zhang Heping recalled how the other party had stopped him from sending the No. 1, 2, and 3 Shouyuan space capsules to the sun for destruction, claiming to have reported him. He frowned and asked, "Who is Lu Zhongsheng's man?"

When Director Wang heard that it was Lu Zhongsheng, he quickly connected the two words "report" he had just heard. After thinking about it for a while, he figured out why Zhang Heping asked this question.

"It was arranged by Elder Hua!" Director Wang said tactfully, worried that the driver and bodyguard might say something inappropriate. "Elder Hua has been in the capital recently and was worried that something might happen in Shenzhen. So he instructed the people in charge below to report to him first if anything happens, so as not to delay your previous arrangements."

After Director Wang finished speaking, he called Lu Zhongsheng in front of Zhang Heping and turned on the speakerphone.

After some communication, it was learned that Mr. Hua was still in a meeting and had not had time to approve the matter, which delayed the response from Peace Wisdom Technology Company.

"Have you notified the telecommunications company?" Zhang Heping suddenly asked.

The person on the other end of the line clearly hadn't expected Zhang Heping to be there. After a pause, he replied, "I've notified you, but they don't have enough talent in high-speed communications technology, so they're contacting various universities to recruit people."

"What were you doing?" Zhang Heping frowned and said, "The Sky-Earth Synchronous Cloud Server must be built as soon as possible!"

"We're relying on it to absorb funds from this round of Hong Kong stock market dot-com bubble to support the subsequent construction of the space-based computing network and the future maintenance and upgrades of satellite equipment. Do you understand?"

Lu Zhongsheng, head of Peace Aerospace, quickly replied, "I understand. We've been following your schedule and will not fall behind!"

"Okay!" Zhang Heping's tone slowed down. "I'm busy with other research lately and don't have time to take care of other things. If you have anything to say, please contact me more often. Don't call me all the time."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Heping rubbed his nose feeling a little tired.

"Heping, is what you are researching now very important?" Director Wang couldn't help but ask tentatively again.

"Brain-computer!" Zhang Heping said with a hint of helplessness, "Once I figure it out, I'll try to unify the global currency. Do you think it's important?"

A unified global currency?

Director Wang was a little confused. He never expected that Zhang Heping had such big ambitions!

"Can you really do that?"

Although many of Zhang Heping's previous predictions had come true, and he had invented quite a few useful things, the idea of ​​unifying the global currency still sounded somewhat far-fetched. With bodyguards and a driver present, Zhang Heping didn't want to say more, saying, "How will we know if it will work if we don't try!"

Director Wang Sumei accompanied Zhang Heping to the Peace Healthcare Research Institute. Because the news she just heard was so shocking, she didn't want to leave.

During this time, she also received a phone call from Liu Yuan and ultimately decided to stay overnight at Zhang Heping's house. She was determined to find out Zhang Heping's plan that night and then discuss with Hua Lao how to cooperate with Zhang Heping to realize the plan.

When Wang Sumei thought about the RMB becoming the global unified currency, her heart beat faster for no reason. It was really exciting.

10 samples of blood were collected, and the amount of blood was very standard, so only 10 potions of 120 lifespan were made, which did not waste much time.

Zhang Heping just sensed the call between Director Wang and Liu Yuan, so he did not ask her whether she would reply or not. Instead, he took her out of the research institute and went straight to Heping Hospital to learn about the operations there.

With Director Wang's introduction, Zhang Heping also chatted for a while with Hua Lao's comrades-in-arms, Lao Xiao and Lao Qin.

Afterwards, they went to the Peace Hotel again, said hello to their second sister Zhang Pandi and her colleagues, and then went back to the mountain.

Because Zhang Heping and Director Wang only had some bread and milk on the way down the mountain, they went back to the villa and had a bowl of noodles before going to the study on the second floor, which really kept Director Wang contained for a long time.

"Peace, tell me your plan. I'll go back and discuss it with Elder Hua to see how we can work together to unify the global currency!"

Director Wang followed him into the study, which surprised Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan, and Zhang Nian, who were sitting in the middle surfing the Internet and reading books. She finally blurted out the words "unified global currency", which even startled Chen Shuting, who was sitting at the desk on the other side.

"There's nothing to say even a little bit!" Zhang Heping said calmly, asking his children who wanted to gather around to sit back down.

Chen Shuting came over and saw her husband starting to look at the documents again, so she pulled Director Wang outside and asked him in a low voice what had happened. Zhang Bei and the others followed him out.

After Director Wang explained what happened, Chen Shuting, Zhang Nan and other girls turned their attention to Zhang Bei, because he, Xiaolong and Xiaohu were the only ones here who could understand a little bit of what their father was researching.

“Brain-computer interface is top secret in mainland China!” Zhang Bei thought for a moment and said, “Hua Lao and the others only gave my dad a little bit of information. My dad is using this little bit of information as a clue, combined with what he has learned in the past, to deduce the principle of this brain-computer interface in order to replicate it.”

"Its application scenario is the virtual dream reality game we have always wanted to realize."

"To this end, my father promoted the research of quantum computers, optical computers, and brain-like computers in the early stages, and also developed a low-power neural signal decoding chip."

"But these studies are still far from the virtual dream reality games we want to achieve."

"My dad said that a true brain-computer interface converts a living being's brain waves into mental power, thereby achieving both input and output."

"Spiritual power is like the light signal in an optical fiber. It not only needs to be transmitted, but also received, and perhaps even amplified along the way."

“All in all, this is a very huge project!”

Chen Shuting, Director Wang, and the others clearly didn't quite understand. Zhang Nian only asked, "How does this relate to a unified global currency?"

Zhang Bei seemed to have thought of something good and couldn't help but smile: "There are 24 hours in a day, and most people spend 8 hours sleeping every day."

"If the virtual dream reality game we develop can allow these people to enter a virtual game world that is very realistic with their five senses while they are falling asleep."

"In this virtual game world, you can be a martial arts master who fights for justice, a soaring immortal who can evade the heavens and the earth, or a fleet commander who leads thousands of space battleships to conquer the universe."

"Or, you can use the eight hours of sleep to connect to the real world, look for business opportunities, and explore financial markets around the world."

"In this virtual network, there's nothing you can't do, only things you can't imagine!"

"Then here comes the crucial question!" Zhang Bei put away his smile and asked seriously, "In this virtual online world, how do we conduct online and offline transactions?"

"My dad suggested I start an online payment platform!" Zhang Bei looked at his second and third sisters, Zhang Nan and Zhang Nian. "You guys were involved back then. Do you remember the biggest challenge?"

Zhang Nian nodded and said, "Currency!"

Seeing that Xiaoma and Director Wang didn't understand, Zhang Nan explained, "We can't operate across different currencies. We can only establish an online payment platform in each country and operate that country's unique currency."

"This kind of online payment platform could potentially collaborate with banks, right?" Chen Shuting frowned. "If it's well-managed, it could even connect to the foreign exchange trading system."

"Mobile phones and computers are ubiquitous in every city and town, but individual banks can't!" Zhang Nan continued, explaining, "So, online payment platforms need to collaborate with multiple banks."

"However, our original intention in establishing an online payment platform was to rob banks of their check, bank card, savings and other services."

"Xiao Ma, are you willing to let Huifeng Bank give up its business income and build this online payment platform?"

Chen Shuting shook her head silently and began to recall what her children had just said.

Director Wang didn't understand, so he took out his phone and started recording in front of everyone. "Xiao Bei, I didn't quite understand what you just said. Could you repeat it? I need to report this to Elder Hua."

Zhang Bei frowned and thought about it, and felt that linking brain-computer interface with a unified global currency might allow the mainland to provide his father with more information on brain-computer interface, thereby speeding up his father's research progress.

So, Zhang Bei reorganized his thoughts and talked about the benefits of virtual dream reality games and the payment issues of virtual networks.

"To put it simply!" Zhang Bei, worried that Director Wang and Elder Hua might not understand, patiently summarized, "We plan to build a virtual dream world that people all over the world can enter while they sleep!"

“Everyone’s feelings in this virtual world are as real as their real feelings, but the virtual world allows them to do whatever they want!”

"You can treat it as a second world, and the currency of this world will be determined by us!"

Zhang Heping couldn't help but smile when he heard his eldest son Zhang Bei's words outside imagining the future.

Laugh at him for thinking too simply!
In Zhang Heping's mind, there is a plan to unify the global currency. Although brain-computer and virtual dream-reality games are crucial, the importance of game cabins, nutrient solutions, therapeutic solutions, regenerative repair solutions, space-based computing networks, etc. cannot be ignored.

It was precisely because there were so many things involved that he didn't want to talk to Director Wang in detail.

Not only is it a waste of time, but I might also have to explain it to Mr. Hua and others afterwards.

Of course, the main reason was that he felt that talking to Elder Hua and Director Wang wouldn't be of much help to him, since they wouldn't be able to get access to the underground base in Western Sichuan anyway.

Otherwise, he wouldn't buy gas just for that little bit of money from the power grid.

Just as Zhang Heping had predicted, after Director Wang reported the matter to Elder Hua, nothing more was said.

Naturally, the information Zhang Bei was looking forward to was not delivered to his father.

However, as his father's writing and drawing materials increased, Zhang Bei's understanding of brain-computer interaction became clearer and clearer in the process of organizing the materials.

It's like, the more you understand computer principles, the clearer you will understand the operating principles of the first generation of computers, and the better you will understand the underlying operating logic, as if you can make a first generation computer at any time.

For this purpose, Zhang Bei also called his two younger brothers Xiaolong and Xiaohu and asked them to come back to study first.
