Legend of the Planet Builder-Chapter 291 - 239: Neuro-Mechanical Technology

"Is it healed just like that?" He Mengyao looked at her smooth arm, unable to detect any sign of the previous cut on her skin.

"Yes, it’s healed!" the lead surgeon said, "With this kind of minimally invasive surgery, the wound can heal within a day, leaving no scars!"

"The memory chip now contains all the information you need. You can try recalling it."

He Mengyao closed her eyes, thinking about the data she needed to remember earlier.

The previously unfamiliar information, along with data she hadn’t yet read, all appeared clearly in her mind.

"I really remembered it! It feels like... like reading from a teleprompter!" He Mengyao said, delighted.

"The information that would have taken me years to commit to memory is now directly remembered! This is more impressive than a photographic memory; I didn’t even look at it and I’ve memorized it!"

Song Jinhong nodded and said, "The memory chip can only help you store information. The storage space is still small for now. When we improve the technology in the future, you can come back for an upgrade."

He Xingzhou said to Xu Zhilan and Ding Yue, "The biological chip hasn’t been widely promoted yet; if you both need it, you could also undergo the surgery!"

Xu Zhilan thought for a moment and said, "I’d rather not. If I were to implant something, I would prefer a quantum chip, which also has computing capabilities!"

Ding Yue agreed, saying, "Since we are soldiers, implanting a quantum chip would also make it easier to operate weapons and equipment."

"That’s true!" He Xingzhou thought, considering that with the rapid advancements in neuro-mechanical technology, directly implanting a quantum chip to gain the computational capabilities of a Quantum Computer was indeed a better choice for them.

...

"If neuro-mechanical technology advances significantly, the combat capabilities of human armies will also greatly increase, without having to rely entirely on robots." Given the topic at hand, He Xingzhou went to the neuro-mechanical research institute to discuss neuro-mechanical technology with the team.

Humanity has now mastered two types of neural connection methods: one is a brain wave transceiver, which Jiang Chan extended from brain wave synchronization technology. By wearing a brain wave induction helmet, some brain wave information can be read and translated.

If the wearer’s brain is highly resistant, the success rate of this technology will be very low.

The second option is brain-computer interface technology.

The brain-computer interface technology made a major breakthrough during the research on the Zerg, transforming mechanical electrical signals into biological electrical ones through neuro-mechanical equipment to connect with the brain.

This technology is still under development, and the current brain-computer interface can only send and receive simple information.

"Academician He!" said Hao Siqi, head of the brain-computer interface research team at the institute, warmly shaking hands with him, "Welcome, Academician He, to guide our research group!"

"I’ve reviewed the progress. Is the challenge now at the information exchange stage?" He Xingzhou asked.

"Yes!" Hao Siqi replied, "The human brain’s neural connections are very complex. We have deciphered most human information electrical signals, such as commonly used languages, texts, emotions, etc."

"We are still studying the process of converting this information into mechanical signals for the quantum chip, or converting mechanical information back into biological electrical signals to be transmitted to the cerebral cortex."

"I’ve heard that Sunbird Biotechnology Company excels in this area; they’ve already developed mature brain-computer devices."

"We’ve obtained some incomplete equipment through contacts in the intelligence department, and our research on them has led to significant progress."

Sunbird Biotechnology Company doesn’t just research biochemical technology; they also study the combination of biochemical and mechanical technology.

In numerous wars, some of their machines were lost on the battlefield and acquired by members of the intelligence department.

"Let me take a look!" He Xingzhou had been following Sunbird Biotechnology Company closely, suspecting that the company is likely backed by either the Zerg or another advanced civilization.

Unlike the typical Zerg method of evolution through consumption, this company uniquely expanded its influence by manufacturing biochemical weapons, which was quite mysterious.

Hao Siqi led him to a secret research room. In the experimental area, a middle-aged man lay on a special hospital bed.

His brain and lower spine were connected to a Quantum Computer through several connecting tubes.

"His name is Qiao Feiyu," Hao Siqi introduced, "He was once a soldier in the Xuanwu Army, affected by Zerg toxins on the battlefield, leading to damage in all his motor neurons and muscle atrophy."

"His symptoms are quite like ALS; his brain remains intact, but his body is as immobile as a person in a vegetative state, unable to stand or move. Even lifting a finger is extremely difficult."

"The most he can do now is blink."

"His condition is very unique. We suspect it may be a Zerg gene virus. Our cell regeneration technology is ineffective for him; any regenerated motor neurons also undergo atrophy, and so far, no biological treatment solutions have been found."

"There are many more patients like him! The gene viruses of the Zerg, biochemical viruses, and various other factors fill the military hospitals with people like him!"

"Now we use a modified brain-computer interface so his brain can connect to a Quantum Computer. He is currently online."

Hao Siqi called out, "Qiao Feiyu, see who’s here?"

As he spoke, a nurse came forward and carefully helped Qiao Feiyu sit up.

Qiao Feiyu’s eyes could see, and he immediately recognized He Xingzhou.

He struggled to speak, to move a finger, but his body muscles were completely beyond his control. Finally, he could only blink, as two streams of tears flowed from his eyes. freewebnσvel.cѳm
