After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 248 Theoretical Foundation
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Hao Cheng suddenly descended from the sky...

Yes, this is the fantasy of many people present. You can tell by their eyes; they are all unconsciously glancing upwards.

In reality, behind the stage, two screens slowly opened, and Hao Cheng, with a microphone clipped to his collar, walked forward. Everything seemed perfectly natural.

In particular, his sincere smile was like a gentle spring breeze.

With a wave of his hand, he commanded the entire room: "Hello everyone!"

A simple greeting snapped everyone out of their daze: "Good! Good! President Hao! Wow, wow..."

Young people in the prime of their youth often find it hard to control their emotions at this time, sobbing and whimpering, just like when they encounter their first love.

"Alright, you'll find out how I got here when I leave."

If someone could see through space and into Hao Cheng's home, they would see him sitting in his study, speaking into a microphone: "And now, please look at a set of data."

What appeared on site was a three-dimensional model of the human nervous system, which was quite beautiful with its red and green colors.

"What is this?" Many people asked this question.

"It should be a model!"

"Nonsense, I'm asking what kind of model this is."

"Human model".

"Okay, please step back."

"So, what exactly is this?" Hao Cheng said, "Please listen carefully to every word I'm about to say. It is—[the neural code for internal communication of human organs based on current understanding]."

Hao Cheng explained: "Baiju Technology discovered in its research that the human sensory organs and the transmission of nerve signals account for less than 3% of the human body's communication channels."

"What do you mean? For example, you have a gigabit broadband connection at home, but you only use it to browse text novels. However, you can clearly use it to watch high-definition movies!"
“The human body is the same,” Hao Cheng pointed to the model beside him, and continued, “Please look closely—”

Before Hao Cheng could finish speaking, a thin needle pierced the finger of the mannequin. In an instant, a signal, specially marked with color, traveled from the finger through a closed pathway and was ultimately transmitted to the brain.

This is accompanied by a series of neural reflexes and regression pathways in brain decision-making.

At that moment, what people at the scene saw was the signal that was specially highlighted in red, and the sound of "biubiubiu" suddenly rushed to their brains.

The whole thing happened in a very short time, and many people didn't even have time to react before exclaiming "Ah!" in unison.
"You still don't understand? Then let's watch it again!"

"do it again!"

In just one minute, Hao Cheng demonstrated it more than a dozen times, and the audience felt sorry for the model's hands.

At this moment, Hao Cheng finally stepped away, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A collective "whoosh" could even be heard on the scene.

"Generally speaking, the skin, muscles, internal organs, etc. of the human body detect mechanical, temperature or chemical stimuli through free nerve endings in the peripheral sensory nerves, and then transmit them to the cerebral cortex through the spinal cord, thalamus, etc."

"At this point, let's try to think about a question, still using the finger as an example: can it only transmit touch? Can it only transmit temperature, mechanical or chemical stimuli?"

Hao Cheng smiled and said, "Look me in the eyes and tell me. Come on, you young man in the red shirt at the front, tell me your opinion!"

"Really?" The young man still looked confused when he answered the question.

"Get out of here," Hao Cheng said jokingly, waving his hand. "The answer is so obvious. If we couldn't, how would we launch this technology today?"

"Come on, you speak," a girl next to him said excitedly, jumping up and down, her face covered in sweat. Hao Cheng gave her a chance.

"Yes!" the girl replied loudly.

"For example, in which area was it used?" Hao Cheng then asked.

"These are the products that General Manager Hao shipped today!" the girl said matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing this answer, Hao Cheng's face twitched. Did you even need to tell me that? So he muttered, "You're no better than that boy from before."

That's my boyfriend.

"Hmm, I can tell, they look quite like a married couple."

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Hao!"

……

The few brief questions asked on the spot made everyone laugh. This young couple was really interesting, but they both seemed a little dim-witted.

Just like Hao Cheng joked: they look quite like a married couple.

At this moment, Hao Cheng took two steps back and came to the center of the stage: "Anyone in the audience who can give me an example, besides our product, that serves as proof? Raise your hand, I'll call on you to answer. If your answer is correct, I'll personally give you a complete set of immersive experience equipment."

"Just to clarify: this system requires you to own a house, preferably a study. Now, let's begin."

Is this a product that Baiju Technology released today, or is it an example from the past?
Many people are actually confused. Are there any examples of this? I've never heard of any!
However, some people in certain professions have already vaguely begun to have some ideas.

Just then, a thin, small girl in the audience raised her hand high. Hao Cheng saw her and said, "Little girl, come forward. Never mind, just go up on stage."

"I can guess what you do," Hao Cheng said directly as soon as the girl approached. "A teacher at a special education school, right?"

"Yes!" The girl nodded emphatically. "So, you don't need to tell me the answer; you definitely know it. It comes from experience," Hao Cheng said. "Did you know that today, the initial inspiration for Baiju Technology's product also came from a product of our partner called the AI ​​Cane?"

"Initially, this device was purely voice-based, transmitting information through headphones. However, the information density of language transmission is relatively low. But by chance, a teacher from a special education school, during a discussion with our partner company, proposed a hypothesis:"
"The hypothesis is that touch can convey images."

Hao Cheng paused for a moment. He saw confusion and incomprehension in the eyes of many people, and their eager eyes seemed to yearn for knowledge.

He didn't explain much, but said, "Today, the young lady on stage is also a teacher at a special education school, and obviously, she just had a similar guess. So, come on, tell everyone what's going on."

"Let me tell you, all I can do are sad stories." The girl paused a few times, her light voice carrying a hint of sorrow, but soon became firm again.

She continued, "We all know that blind people are divided into two categories."

With just a single sentence and the girl's fleeting change in expression, some gleaned from it the entire story of her emotional journey—from sorrow to resolve to determination. And this story continues in a gentle, melodious voice:

"One type is those who have never seen sunlight, green plants, or the world since birth. These people have no darkness in their hearts, nor do they understand what light or darkness is."

“But there’s another type, those who have seen the light.” At this point, the girl’s voice had become much lower: “They are afraid of the dark.”

If you've never seen the light, darkness isn't actually that scary.

I don't know who it was, but they said something like this or something similar.

But those four simple words made everyone's hearts clench.

"Many people say that it would have been better if they had never seen the light at all."

The girl's voice grew softer and softer, and the scene was as silent as a snowy night except for her voice: "In the past, we would also have such feelings, because it is really hard to endure the days when you have seen the light but have no hope at all."

“But…” the girl said, then turned to look at Hao Cheng again: “I have some speculations in my mind, is it okay to talk about them?”

"Of course!" Hao Cheng nodded. "Moreover, I can answer your guess in advance: it's true."

"Really?" The girl's gentle and graceful demeanor suddenly changed in that instant; her ethereal beauty vanished, and she choked out, almost sobbing, "Really...?"

The girl covered her face; strong people don't want others to easily see their weakness. Hao Cheng could tell that the girl was more than just a teacher at a special education school; she must have her own story.

Taking a step towards the crowd and shielding the girl behind him, Hao Cheng said, "Let me explain what happened next. The core conclusion is: there's a difference between those who have seen the light and those who haven't."

"The distinction lies in the mind. So, when you describe a scene in words, who can visualize it in their mind? The answer, of course, is the one they've seen before!"

"Please note that I used a word to describe it in words, that is, to convey a picture to them with sound. For normal people, if we convey a picture to you with sound, you will probably have a picture in your mind as well."

"But believe it or not, if you describe the same scene that you've never seen before to a normal person, they will have more ideas in their minds than you do."
"That's inevitable. The five senses work together; if one or two are missing, the others, along with the brain, will be strengthened," Hao Cheng said slowly.
"Therefore, the five senses are not independent or dedicated. Remember, this is the initial theoretical basis for our five senses and five senses brain interaction pathway technology. And based on this initial theory, we have found through research that the five senses are not only not independent or dedicated, but are even completely decoupled."

"What does complete decoupling mean? For example, can touch convey images?"

"Huh?" Most people understood the theory I just mentioned. They had heard it before, such as the theory that blind people's hearing is enhanced. But can touch convey images?

"I see a lot of people with particularly clear eyes!" Hao Cheng smiled. "If you want to accept this, we have to go through it step by step. I just said that sound can convey images, right?"
"Of course, touch can too. Even taste and smell can, although the latter two are more difficult to explain, but this is the conclusion, this is the fact."

“Let’s talk about touch. Everyone should know Braille.” Hao Cheng turned his head and looked at the little girl, who had recovered and was smiling as she looked on. “When you first start learning, it’s definitely just touch. The signals transmitted are mechanical stimuli.”

"However, with prolonged training, this signal changes. It can directly form certain shapes and images in the brain, rather than just uneven edges and corners. I don't know if you can understand this point."

"In other words, the five senses and the brain are actually decoupled. If you don't understand what decoupling means, just look it up in the definition."

"So, this is the interaction between Baiju Technology's five senses and the brain, which can transmit any information we want to the brain. This is the theoretical basis."

……

"Stop, wait a minute. I understand everything before, but what's with this 'so'? We were just talking about addition and subtraction within ten, and now this 'so' is jumping straight into advanced mathematics?"

Many people understood the theoretical basis; it's actually quite easy to understand, really as simple as 1+1=2.

However, how Baiju Technology manages to interact directly with the brain through external means is not as simple as a simple "so".

"What I just said was to tell you about its theoretical basis." Hao Cheng changed his tone: "Enthusiasts can just understand it. But if you really want to learn more about the basics, you can find it on the Baiju Technology website later."

"There are three prerequisites for you to understand this: First, a foundation in information theory. Second, advanced mathematics. Everything ultimately comes down to mathematics, especially complex numbers and imaginary numbers. Once you study these in depth, they become quite amazing. You can try it if you don't believe me."

"Forget it, forget it, forget it!" Upon hearing the word "mathematics," nine out of ten people would shake their heads like rattles. But some people's eyes would light up instantly; perhaps those were geniuses.

Hao Cheng said, "The most crucial part is, of course, the third one, which is the neural network diffusion algorithm that incorporates the concepts of complex and imaginary numbers. Whether you understand it or not, I'll show you three diagrams."

Few people can understand the diagram, but what is certain is that it is a schematic diagram of the five parameters for determining and transmitting information in the interaction between the senses and the brain.

Upon realizing this, many people immediately erupted in anger: "No way, Mr. Hao, this is too important! Posting a diagram is one thing, but the actual implementation process can't be posted on the official website. This should be top secret!"

“Oh, some people are worried about leaks,” Hao Cheng shook his head. “The simplest thing is theory, but in fact, every practical process here is inseparable from the support of tools.”

"I can tell you some data: if I want to transmit an image to the brain, not through the eyes, but through sound and hands, and want to convey pixel information with an accuracy of more than 95%, even if all the computing power in the world were combined, it would take a hundred years to calculate it using traditional computing power."

"It's true that the five senses are decoupled, and it's also true that the five senses can transmit all information. But how they transmit it is the key. And how do we solve this problem? Two key elements: the metacognitive chip and the new Xiaosha powered by the metacognitive chip."

"Oh, I see!" With that said, no one was worried anymore.

Let alone metacognitive chips and the small sand under metacognitive chips, even the ordinary version, external forces—many people already believe—will never be able to develop it.
