Technology dominance starts with learning machines

Chapter 108: Prosthetic Limb Experiment Failed? (Update)

Seeing the young student's hands trembling, the old professor could not bear such mental stimulation.

The young researchers who were replaced also breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter how much you do, but just make no mistakes.

After all, if I really entered the wrong password because of nervousness and my hands were shaking, even with the teacher's guarantee, it would be difficult for me to continue to conduct research on state secrets in this underground base.

Inside the laboratory of the underground base, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone held their breath and stared at the safe without blinking. The tense atmosphere on the scene reached its peak.

Under the tense and almost suffocating gaze of the crowd, the unaware young man with a crew cut swiftly entered the password [666666].

In an instant, with a crisp "beep" sound, the password box slowly opened. At that moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong.

Inside the small password box, a solid-state hard drive lies quietly.

When the professors in the laboratory saw that it was a solid-state drive, they couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts and looked worried.

Compared with traditional mechanical disks, solid-state drives have advantages in storage speed and data transmission speed. However, their disadvantages are also very obvious.

That is, it is extremely susceptible to damage.

Once a failure occurs and data is lost, it is almost impossible to recover.

This is undoubtedly a "time bomb" that may explode at any time.

After all, if part of the AI code is missing due to data loss, no one knows whether something bad will happen to such a second-level AI.

Professor Wang carefully stretched out his hands, as if holding a rare treasure, and gently took out the solid-state drive from the password box.

It was then carefully installed on a supercomputer that had been prepared long ago.

As the power button of the supercomputer was gently pressed, the familiar power-on screen flashed by, and was replaced by a vast starry sky. The deep and mysterious picture instantly attracted everyone's attention.

I saw that the stars in the sky seemed to be pulled by an invisible and powerful force, as if being swallowed by a black hole, and quickly gathered towards the center, disappearing one after another into the darkness.

Until the last light source representing the stars was ruthlessly swallowed up, a bright circle of light slowly appeared on the huge screen in the laboratory.

"Please set up three highest-authority administrators and enter biometric data."

"The next time you change the highest-authority administrator, you will need authorization from two other highest-authority administrators before you can change it."

The original pure and mechanical voice of artificial intelligence resounded throughout the laboratory, clear and loud.

For a moment, no one followed the prompts to set up the highest-authority administrator, but instead turned their attention to Wang Dagui, the person in charge of the underground experimental base.

After all, the highest administrator authority of artificial intelligence is crucial and concerns the security and stability of the entire project.

"According to the instructions from above, Professor Wang Qiang, Professor Zhang Qingquan and I are the administrators with the highest authority." Wang Dagui said in a loud voice.

……

Following the detailed instructions of the artificial intelligence, the three people entered their personal information in turn, and the researchers immediately began to conduct all-round testing of the artificial intelligence.

When all the test results were presented to everyone, even though everyone was reluctant to admit it deep down in their hearts, facts spoke louder than words.

This artificial intelligence is a real level 2 artificial intelligence.

This is the secondary artificial intelligence that this group of researchers has been studying.

The rain continued to fall without any sign of stopping, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a hazy curtain of rain.

Outside the Zhilifang Technology Laboratory, six volunteers were picked up after receiving the notice. At this moment, their hearts were full of anticipation and anxiety, and the two emotions intertwined, making them a little restless.

Can the intelligent prosthetic limbs developed by Zhilifang Technology really be as they claim, identical to normal limbs in all aspects except for the inability to provide tactile feedback?
Although each of them has doubts in their hearts, at the same time, they also hope that all this is true.

Sometimes, people's hearts are so contradictory.

In the medical equipment room, Li Pingan was seen walking in.

The six volunteers wanted to stand up immediately.

However, four of the volunteers were unable to stand up for a long time due to leg disabilities.

Li Pingan, who had just walked in, saw this and quickly said, "No, no, just sit down."

Behind Li Ping'an, the strong security guards carefully carried in the prosthetic limbs with clear numbers that had been prepared in the laboratory.

And put them aside neatly with gentle movements.

After all preparations were completed, Li Pingan clapped his hands gently and said to the six volunteers with a smile:
"My dear brothers, before the prosthesis is installed, I will tell you a few things to pay attention to. I hope you can listen patiently. This is very important for you to use the prosthesis normally in the future."

"These prosthetic limbs can move, of course, they are powered by batteries.

In other words, this prosthesis needs to be charged regularly."

Li Pingan's tone was calm and patient.

"Due to the current limitations of battery energy density, the prosthesis can only last for about 6 to 7 hours of normal activities when fully charged. I hope everyone can be mentally prepared for this."

“The second thing to note is that it is normal for the prosthesis to itch where it connects to the body.

If you can tolerate it, try not to scratch the connection part to avoid unnecessary damage or infection, which will affect the use of the prosthesis. "

"third,……"

As Li Ping'an explained the precautions one by one, the six volunteers who had been tense gradually relaxed.

I also feel more confident about this prosthetic experiment.

This prosthesis still has many flaws, which makes it more realistic and credible.

"Yu Chao."

"You will do the first one. I will now teach you how to install the prosthesis when you are alone and how to remove it for charging. It is not complicated. Please watch carefully."

When Yu Chao was called, an excited expression instantly appeared on his face and he stood up quickly.

His body was trembling slightly due to excitement, and the empty sleeve of his right hand was shaking gently with his movements.

With the help of scientific researchers, Yu Chao successfully completed the installation of the prosthesis.

He couldn't wait to try to control the newly installed arm.

However, no matter how hard he concentrated and tried, the arm seemed to be under a spell and hung there motionless.

Like a lifeless decoration, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became awkward and solemn.

"It seems to be useless...I can't move."

Yu Chao's voice, with a hint of loss and frustration, broke the silence at the scene.

As soon as these words were spoken, the equipment room fell silent again.
