c629 Efficiency improvement

“Uncle Ye!”

Yaoyao happily took the BCI helmet and put it on. Her eyesight regained vision again, but after the initial surprise, more restraint appeared on her face.

After all, she is still a child, and her mental age is far from mature. Ye Zhou is the “biggest big shot” she has ever seen. In front of such a person, even if she is familiar with him, she will always feel a little at a loss.

But fortunately, she adjusted quickly and took Ye Zhou to look around while introducing the equipment in the multi-function hall.

“…This is the previous generation – no, it is the BCI terminal of the previous generations. It is a universal model and can be used without doing a brain activity test. However, its functions are much worse and it can only provide simple feedback.”

“Now it is used to control some remote robots, such as eight-legged robots used in mines. It is easy to use in complex environments and has low learning costs.”

“But Brother Chen Li said it was tasteless…I feel pretty good.”

Ye Zhou smiled, this thing was more than useless.

According to the introduction on the sign, the current only use of this robot is to remotely control robots, but unfortunately, connecting robots through brain computers is counter-intuitive.

Can you imagine you have 8 legs and 32 eyes?

To truly realize the fusion of consciousness, a deeper neural interaction is necessary.

But if that’s the case, the cost of surgery and learning will go up again. Why not just recruit a group of people for specialized operation training?

After all, it really doesn’t take much time to master operating a robot through a handle and screen.

Maybe you can go to the excavator school and recruit a few students and train for a period of time and you can do it.

All in all, this is just a “cool-sounding” idea. It was probably used by Chen Li’s team as a verification machine at first.

“Why do you think it’s useless?”

he asked curiously.

“I think the operation is very smooth… Although the visual signal feedback is a bit rough, I can basically see the outline clearly. Is it not difficult to use?”

Yaoyao tilted her head and replied.

On the contrary, if you have rich experience in using BCI terminals, it should not be difficult to control this equipment.

However, isn’t this also the cost of learning?

He no longer dwelled on this piece of equipment, but asked:

“Where are the equipment for this Huawuyuan project? Are they all ready?”

Yaoyao nodded quickly. Although she was not responsible for the overall project follow-up, some basic progress was still clear.

“They’re all over there. Many of them haven’t been unpacked and assembled yet, but brother Chen Li and the others have brought several sets of equipment for access experiments.”

“I heard from him that it is still in the data collection stage, and it may take a week or two before the operation will officially start.”

“–Oh, by the way, their equipment is invasive, just like mine!”

As she spoke, Yaoyao raised her lightweight hat and pointed at the electrode on it. It was an elastic reed set inside the “hat”. After putting it on, it was just in contact with the areas behind the ears, forehead, and temples. No hair zone reserved electrode contact.

“Is it really okay for you to put on and take off clothes like this?”

“No problem, just get used to it! It’s like blinking an eye!”

Ye Zhou nodded slightly. It seemed that the stability of BCI transmission technology had at least developed faster than he expected.

He stepped forward curiously and picked up a small packaging box in an opened box. After opening it, there were several parts he had never seen before.

“Is this the terminal you are going to use this time? Why does it feel bigger than yours… I remember it only needs to transmit information, right? There is no need to integrate the AES module, so why do you have to make it so big?”

“No, no, we just don’t need the camera, but the AES module is still needed.”

“Without the aid of the visual nerve, we can’t find a better fulcrum to enter the memory area – this is what Brother Chen Li said.”

“But it is possible that AES will be gradually eliminated in the future? But that will require more experiments.”

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment and quickly understood.

It’s not that I underestimated the development of BCI technology, on the contrary, I was overly optimistic.

The level of sophistication of this technology is not below controlled nuclear fusion, otherwise it would not be on the same sequence in different directions.

What Chen Li and the others are doing now is actually to reversely develop the easiest-to-apply part of BCI transmission technology, first using the current basic technology level to implement pre-version applications.

This is a very appropriate idea – especially in the current situation where the need for productivity improvement is becoming more and more urgent.

In a word, first solve the problem of whether it can be used, and then solve the problems of whether it is easy to use and whether it is efficient.

“I understand… No wonder you are needed here. There should be some stability issues with this terminal, right?”

“hey-hey…..”

Yaoyao smiled and did not answer.

Of course she didn’t want to say anything bad about Chen Li in front of Ye Zhou, but it was obvious that everyone was aware of this issue.

But fortunately, “unstable” is not the same as “dangerous”. In previous experiments, the worst result was that the information flow was completely unreadable, and it had no impact on nerve and brain functions.

While the two were talking, the door of the multi-purpose hall opened, and Chen Li walked over quickly and extended his hand to Ye Zhou.

“Hello Ye Gong!”

Chen Li originally planned to say a few polite words such as “Long time no see” and “You look good”, but after all, he didn’t have that kind of personality, so it was best to just say “Hello” to end the matter.

Of course, Ye Zhou had no dissatisfaction with this straightforward communication method.

“Yao Yao just showed me your equipment this time. How is it? What is the expected success rate?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Li immediately understood that Ye Zhou had understood the true progress of this technology, so he answered:

“The optimistic estimate is about 70%, but considering some people with severe intolerance and individuals who are unwilling to undergo invasive surgery, I estimate that it can reach up to 50%.”

“This number is pretty good. We have relaxed the test conditions. There are currently more than 400 people signed up. Overall, we can basically achieve the expected goal.”

“That’s good. What about efficiency improvement? Have you made a preliminary estimate of this?”

Chen Li shook his head and replied:

“No, it’s really hard to estimate this thing, and there’s no way to refer to it.”

“Previously, the overall efficiency improvement rate on the energy side exceeded 400%, but those were all basic and operational tasks, which are completely different from the creative work of these subjects now.”

“Judging from our laboratory results, BCI transmission technology can basically eliminate all mechanical thinking time – that is, memory, calculation, etc., this part of the time accounts for about 40%.”

“But it certainly doesn’t mean that efficiency can be increased by 40%. I estimate… it will only be 20% at most. The result will depend on the final project results.”

20%.

This was already an answer far beyond Ye Zhou’s expectations.

After all, Huawuyuan’s job is not to tighten screws.

The 20% improvement, coupled with the improvement effects of other researchers in the same direction, it is possible that future research methods will undergo earth-shaking changes…
