Chapter 554 Three-System Brain-Computer Strategy
"This means that the era of brain-computer interfaces is about to begin."

As Yu Yang spoke, he switched the video.

"In 1875, English biologists first discovered a weak electric current on the surface of an exposed animal brain."

"In 1924, German scientists first recorded regular electrical signals on the human scalp and named it EEG, which is the electroencephalogram we are familiar with."

"In 1934, English scientists verified the existence of electroencephalography (EEG) and then applied the technology to fields such as epilepsy treatment and sleep diagnosis."

"From then on, humanity began observing computer waves in an attempt to find a way to decipher them."

"In 1969, an experiment on monkeys' brain neurons unexpectedly triggered the movement of a meter pointer, which sparked a breakthrough in researchers' thinking, realizing that brain signals could be directly converted into machine instructions."

"In 1973, researchers at UCLA first proposed the concept of brain-computer interface (BCI)."

"In 1978, when doctors in New York were implanting an electrode array into a blind person, the patient saw low-resolution dot matrix images, which led brain-computer interfaces into clinical trials."

"In 1988, scientists created the P300 spelling device, which allows paralyzed patients to select letters through brainwaves and then spell them into sentences to achieve basic communication."

"In 1999, the graphics card matrix was introduced. Sanyuan High-Tech adopted a distributed layout and synchronous parallel processing method to combine the graphics card matrix with the electrode array, creating a large model that connects and analyzes multiple regions of brain waves in series and parallel, allowing humans to simultaneously collect visual brain waves, auditory brain waves, language brain waves, etc."

"In 2001, Sanyuan Hi-Tech pioneered the three-system brain-computer interface helmet, which has 2500 built-in three-system chips. Each chip has 1000 needle-like electrodes and can simultaneously observe the activity of 2.5 million neurons, improving the accuracy of the brainwave compilation system to 15%."

"In 2003, advanced materials such as graphene and topological insulators were put into scientific research, and the three-system electronics industry was upgraded accordingly. Sanyuan High-Tech pioneered the three-system wireless brain-computer interface headset, which has 220 three-system graphene patch chips built in. Each chip has 3.6 million three-system vacuum tubes and can monitor the activity of nearly 800 billion neurons at the same time. At the same time, a three-system AI system was added to help the recognizer extract reliable intentions in noisy EEG signals, which improved the accuracy of the brainwave compilation system to 68%."

"In 2004, the 10,000-head cattle breeding base took the lead in using the three-line brain-computer interface for experimental breeding. Sanyuan High-Tech transmitted the brain waves of beef cattle to Agriculture 3.0, and for the first time realized... When the cattle are hungry, the automated equipment feeds them; when the cattle are thirsty, the automated equipment provides them with water; when the cattle are cold, the constant temperature system raises their temperature and the medical system intervenes."

"In 2005, the 10,000-head cattle breeding base achieved full coverage of brain-computer interfaces, which increased the number of beef cattle slaughtered by 30%, reduced feed and water waste by 25%, and reduced the incidence of beef cattle diseases by 50%."

"At the same time, a 'livestock wireless brain-computer interface' the size of a thumbnail has been developed and is widely used in the field of three-line livestock."

"In mid-2005, the tri-system brain-computer interface entered clinical trials."

As Yu Yang spoke, he made the page become a floating window and then played another video.

In the screen:
Inside the Shiliying Central Hospital - Biomedical Research Institute.

Three bearded doctors (veterinarians) with Asian features, along with six traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, implant cortical electrodes and EEG recognition devices into a patient lying in a vegetative state on a hospital bed.

Meanwhile, a strange device under the hospital bed extended a vacuum tube, first pressing it against the back of the vegetative patient's neck, then ejected two long, silver needles resembling acupuncture needles, piercing the spine and penetrating deep into the bone marrow…

next second.

The various devices that had been operating smoothly around the room suddenly started making a commotion.

The EEG of a vegetative state patient shows a flat surface with frequent peaks;
The ECG of a vegetative state patient is irregular, frequently showing fast waves;
In a vegetative state, the imbalanced hormone levels and metabolic system gradually return to normal as energy is consumed by electrocardiograms and brainwaves...
In a vegetative state, the nearly failing organs begin to reactivate as hormones and metabolic function recover...

"This is a medical miracle!"

The doctors present, along with other doctors observing and learning from outside the room through the glass, and numerous graduate students, all shouted excitedly in silence.

But that’s not the end.

Once the brainwaves and electrocardiograms of the vegetative patient were within the scope of research, two men dressed in Taoist robes entered the room.

The two men, carrying compasses, walked along, counting on their fingers and muttering incantations.

The subtitles indicate that this is called "summoning the soul," or "replacing the three souls and seven spirits."

Of course, reality must be based on science.

The video narration states: "Human consciousness is divided into conscious awareness, which is when we are awake; subconscious awareness, which is what we do unconsciously or unintentionally; and deep subconscious awareness, which is what we do when we are sleepwalking."

'50% of people in a vegetative state retain conscious awareness; they are essentially in a coma. If awakened, aside from mild amnesia, they are basically no different from before.'

'30% of people in a vegetative state lose conscious awareness due to prolonged coma, but retain subconsciousness or muscle memory of certain things. If awakened, they will temporarily lose most of their memories, but after a period of scientific rehabilitation, they can most likely recover to normal levels.'

'20% of people in a vegetative state have completely lost their conscious and subconscious minds; if awakened, they will rebuild their personality...'

It was replaced by Taoism.

A person in a vegetative state who possesses conscious awareness is equivalent to having their three souls and seven spirits restored.
A person in a vegetative state with a subconscious mind is said to have incomplete three souls and seven spirits;

A person who only possesses a deep subconscious mind is equivalent to attracting wandering ghosts.

However, both Taoism and Buddhism believe that the deep subconscious holds treasures left by ancestors, which is the lifelong pursuit of practitioners.

The scientific explanation is also called unleashing potential, mastering potential, or developing potential.

If a person enters the deep subconscious and then safely returns (awakens normally), this person has unlocked their genetic potential and gained abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.

If combined with gene enhancement reagents, gene modification fluids, gene repair fluids, biological nutrient solutions, etc., the above can further create 'genetically optimized humans'.

Of course, today's medical experiments on vegetative state patients are clearly not aimed at improving physical fitness.

After the two Taoist priests finished their soul-summoning ritual, the medical researchers on site connected the EEG, ECG, and other equipment to the devices in the next room.

The nameplate of the reference device faintly shows the words 'EEG decoder', 'ECG decoder', 'biological function decoder', and 'AI psychological comprehensive analysis'.

soon.

A first-person perspective appeared on the laser screen in the research room.

Almost simultaneously, accompanied by the stimulation of the spinal cord nerves by the pulsed current, a weak groan came from the loudspeaker.

My head hurts so much…

‘Where is this? ’

How did I get here?

Why is everything around me so blurry?

'Am I dreaming?'

'I think I was in a car accident…'

Accompanied by low murmurs, his brainwaves were chaotic.

But the doctors and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners on site, as well as the researchers outdoors, cheered again upon seeing the footage.

"Success!"

soon.

The staff connected the third device.

An AI virtual human appears opposite in the first-person perspective.

"Mr. Zhao?"

"Forehead…"

The patient retained some awareness at the beginning of his vegetative state and knew he was participating in the clinical trial. This is the basis of the trial, to prevent the patient's emotions from becoming uncontrollable and disrupting the trial.

After a brief hesitation from the patient, although the brainwaves became chaotic for a moment, the AI ​​still managed to extract useful information and exclaimed, "Hello, the experiment was a success?!"

“Yes.” The AI ​​virtual human nodded and tentatively said, “This is the Central Hospital - Biomedical Research Institute. After your car accident, your family was unable to afford the treatment due to financial difficulties. In order to save you and help you wake up, your family applied for this clinical research, and all related expenses are waived.”

"I remember everything, so what do I need to do now?"

"Please stay here for a week to get used to the VR-like perspective. Once you've mastered it, we'll make further arrangements based on your physical indicators, such as whether you can wake up."

“Okay.” After saying that, the patient asked curiously, “Is this the virtual reality technology from the novel?”

"No, this is playing games with brainwaves, which is completely different from your soul entering the game. In other words, we have created a translation channel between your brain and the gaming device, turning your brainwaves into commands, which the gaming terminal then recognizes. The gaming terminal then sends feedback commands to you, which are then converted back into brainwaves so that you can understand them, ultimately enabling you to interact with the machine."

"That's already incredibly impressive!"

"Next, we will study the 'five senses' to help you gain vision, touch, taste, smell, and hearing by using various sensors and related compilation systems of machines when interacting with them through brainwaves. With the help of AI-assisted systems, we can even create a sixth sense based on your psychological activities."

"Nubi!"

The dialogue ended, and the screen switched to a PowerPoint presentation, showcasing the core technologies of the three-system brain-computer interface:
EEG acquisition → compilation → machine language → EEG information imaging → environmental interaction → machine language feedback → compilation → EEG transmission.

These technologies are all traceable within the three industries and do not originate from outside sources.

Yu Yang spoke eloquently, "Although we cannot realize the virtual reality in the novel, we can develop a more powerful human-machine integration industry."

"Once it is fully mature and forms an ecosystem, we will have a large number of unprecedented new industries."

"For example, the non-invasive brain-computer interface headset (which requires no surgery and can be worn directly on the head) can replace eye-based operation in VR entertainment glasses systems through conscious control, with an accuracy rate of up to 80%."

"For example, a non-invasive brain-computer interface can be operated through consciousness, allowing users to play VR games for 48 hours without going offline or taking a break."

"For example, stroke patients can undergo craniotomy to have an invasive brain-computer interface patch, about the size of a thumbnail, implanted in the language EEG area. This patch can then be used to resolve language barriers through a portable device."

"For example, deaf-mute patients can achieve normal communication after undergoing craniotomy to implant electrodes, combined with a three-system AI cochlear implant and a three-system AI bionic speaker, and after a period of learning." "For example, disabled patients can resume normal life after undergoing craniotomy to implant electrodes, combined with a three-system AI prosthesis."

"For example, people with autism, people with neurological disorders..."

"Similarly, it's not a dream for soldiers to lie in nutrient tanks and operate drones in combat."

“It’s not a dream for miners to lie in nutrient pods and operate mining equipment on the moon, working continuously for 48 hours.”

"When that day comes, it will mean that human civilization is standing on a completely new and revolutionary historical threshold, and it will also mean that a brand new industrial revolution is about to begin!"

"And this day could be achieved in as little as 10 years, or as late as 20 years."

As Yu Yang spoke, the executives sitting together, including Lao Bu, Lao Shi, the Grand Steward of Dongshan, and the Steward of Dongshan Prefecture, all stood up.

terrible!

Work continuously for 48 hours without rest!

...

Morgan Estate.

After Welch left.

Morgan Sr. summoned another right-hand man, Stephen.

Stephen previously served as the head of the Morgan Group in Europe and helped Fan Tao build the SY Mall.

Later, he was transferred to Shiliying to be in charge of cooperation with the three industries.

He returned to North America last year to handle Morgan family affairs.

Stephen was in charge of assassinating the oil tycoon.

Half an hour later.

Stephen rushed over, bringing with him audio and video materials.

“Patriarch, just now, we obtained Yu Sanyuan’s publicly disclosed three-system brain-computer interface technology through Old Smith.”

As he spoke, he played a video.

The footage, shot from Old Smith's perspective, records the content presented by Yu Sanyuan.

But at the end, there are also analyses from several European and American scientists.

“Master, although we raided the core laboratory of the oil faction and failed to obtain any data, the laboratory has many retired or former employees. With our resources, it will not be difficult to find them.”

"After their analysis, the content that Yu Sanyuan presented, including the three-system brain-computer interface technology, is completely different from the brain-in-a-vat researched by the oil tycoon."

Morgan was slightly taken aback. "Different?"

"Yes, according to them, Sanyuan Agriculture does indeed have a close partnership with the oil tycoon, including sharing materials, technology, and equipment..."

"However, Sanyuan Agriculture focuses on human-computer interaction, while the oil tycoon focuses on biological immortality. Therefore, the two sides have different research directions, different technical characteristics, and completely different related industries."

"It is said that Yu Sanyuan advocates 'life and nature' and completely disapproves of the oil tycoon's Cthulhu god-making plan, which led to a conflict between the two sides last year, resulting in the oil tycoon being kicked out of the Far East and Ice Bear Far East Oil going bankrupt."

Old Morgan pondered for a moment, "You mean, all these things that Yu Sanyuan brought out were independently developed by Sanyuan High-Tech and have nothing to do with the oil tycoon?"

“Yes.” Stephen said, taking out a stack of papers. “This is the intelligence our side intercepted. It contains encrypted information that Fujima reported to Old Brooks. He said that he accidentally discovered a secret transaction in Tokyo Bay. After observing it secretly, he found two ninjas who had attacked him before. Fujima changed his ki and wiped them out. Then he obtained three strange devices.”

"Based on Fujima's description, we reproduced these three devices through the database and found that they were exactly the same as the devices used by the group of ninjas to copy the core laboratory data."

Old Morgan suddenly looked up. "So, the oil tycoon's research data is in Fujima's hands?"

"No, after Fujima finished his report, he said that he had hired three groups of international mercenaries to escort the device to Texas in batches. According to our tracking, one group of international mercenaries just arrived in Texas by air, one group went around Europe, and one group is still at sea."

"Take them down and retrieve the device."

"Yes!" Stephen bowed and took his leave.

Old Morgan watched him leave and breathed a long sigh of relief.

“There’s always light at the end of the tunnel!”

...

Shungeng Mountain Villa.

After introducing the three-system brain-computer interface and its development prospects, Yu Yang also promised Dongshan Prefecture some peripheral industries.

The steward of Dongshan Prefecture was overjoyed. He picked up a two-and-a-half-ounce wine glass and downed three glasses in a row.

During the banquet.

Old Smith hesitated to speak, seemingly wanting to invest in a three-system brain-computer interface.

Old Bu remained calm and collected, perhaps anticipating Fujima's gift.

Yu Yang then toasted with the head of the Dongshan Military Headquarters and the Dongshan Chief Administrator, chatting about collectivism.

Amidst the clinking of cups and toasts.

A notification came from the customized SY handheld console.

Yu Yang did not turn on the screen, but the tiny player in his ear, about the size of a grain of rice, immediately activated its emergency broadcast function.

[Old Morgan has taken the bait and has already sent men to intercept and kill the three mercenary groups.]
Yu Yang pretended to scratch an itch, and as he touched his ear with his palm, the rice-grain-sized player instantly shut down.

The oil tycoon's "brain in a vat" technology was proposed by the Pingdong Science and Technology Bureau, which then supplied materials, ideas, and suggestions. The oil tycoon then invested in and provided personnel for research and development.

This was a plan that our family proposed a long time ago.

It's like building a car.

We don't have the time, technology, or ability to manufacture complete vehicles.

So they used new materials to trick the oil tycoon into manufacturing engines.

Their own company has honed its technology in manufacturing wheels, suspensions, and A, B, C, and D pillars through industry and time.

Once the oil tycoon has developed a brand-new engine and our own new chassis, we can then take over the oil tycoon's engine technology, modify it, and install it on our own chassis, thus creating a brand-new car unlike any other.

What happens next now that the oil tycoon is dead?
Then we should try to get old Morgan to take over and continue the research.

Morgan might not have liked the oil tycoon's brain in a vat, otherwise he would have gotten involved long ago.

But old Morgan absolutely loved the 'three-system brain-computer interface described by Yu Sanyuan'.

Therefore, the Morgan Group will most likely use the oil tycoon's technology, referencing the three-system brain-computer interface, to work overtime to catch up with human interaction.

This is equivalent to the three systems conducting research, Morgan conducting research, the three systems selling brain-computer interfaces, and Morgan selling brain-computer interfaces. With the joint efforts of both parties, a brain-computer interface market suddenly appeared internationally, which is equivalent to a completely new market emerging out of thin air.

However, the Morgan Group started late and the technology they acquired was still focused on the in-cylinder brain. If they wanted to catch up with the ultra-fast-developing Sanyuan High-Tech, they would probably be like a graphics card matrix, unable to catch up no matter what.

Ultimately, the tri-system brain-computer interface can capture at least 70% of the international market share.

As for whether Morgan will turn against his own family?
At least six of North America's ten aircraft carriers are undergoing rotational rest, and two of the remaining four are facing decommissioning.

If we add the destruction of the sailor fleet, plus the recent increase in military strength of the three factions...
Would Morgan dare to turn against him?

After having enough wine and food.

Old Bu and Old Shi, concerned about the Agriculture 3.0 handover in Texas and California, returned to their suite citing illness to contact North America.

The remaining executives, seeing that the chief manager of Dongshan had not left, did not dare to leave early.

So, at Yu Yang's suggestion, the group took an afternoon stroll and enjoyed the sunshine while climbing Thousand Buddha Mountain along the path.

Due to the last-minute decision, the area was not cleared, and since it was the weekend, tourists could be seen everywhere.

Yu Yang had endless topics to discuss with the Grand Steward of Dongshan and the head of the Dongshan Military Headquarters.

For example, future urban development, future economic development, future technological development, and future emerging industries.

For example, future local conflicts, future maritime strategies, future land deployments, and future entirely new types of military forces.
As evening approached, the group reluctantly dispersed.

Yu Yang returned to his suite at Shungeng Mountain Villa, took out his SY handheld console, and expressed his feelings.

"You little devils, hurry up and pay your tribute, or we'll run out of food at dawn."
