Great Power Technology - #638 - Chapter 628 Hua Wuyuan BCI Project

“The more it’s fried, the hotter it gets.”

Ye Zhou looked at the report in his hand and said helplessly.

“It’s normal, this is the nature of capital.”

“Even we cannot control people’s instinctive desires. They pursue profits and will naturally not miss any opportunity to increase profits.”

“All we can do is set rules and boundaries for them as much as possible.”

Chen Hao threw away the report with an “I knew it was so” look on his face.

In fact, it was not just him. From the moment the concept of adjacent-dimensional futures began to ferment, everyone who was paying attention to this matter was already prepared.

It goes without saying that Ye Zhou is much more sensitive to such matters than other decision-makers, because he has indeed seen what a world controlled by capital looks like in simulations.

Others, including those in the economic sector, are already preparing for possible shocks.

“At present, the popularity of adjacent dimension futures is still under control, and the rate of profit growth far exceeds the rate of capital expansion.”

“But this ‘for now’, I think it will be very short-lived.”

“It’s possible that in a month or even two weeks, this thing will cross the critical point.”

After hearing Ye Zhou’s judgment, Chen Hao nodded and replied:

“It’s similar to the economic bureau’s judgment, but they are a little more optimistic than you.”

“After all, they still have a lot of levers and tools in their hands, which can last for a while.”

“However, they have also fully intervened. If there is a risk of losing control, the China Banking Regulatory Commission and the China Securities Regulatory Commission will take action at the same time.”

Ye Zhou sighed.

A trace of intolerance appeared on his face.

Take action at the same time?

This is actually said from an absolutely rational perspective.

Macroeconomic control focuses on efficiency, that is to say, the status quo will not change until losses exceed gains.

In this process, the interests of a large group of people will be harmed, and at the same time, the interests of another group of people will increase wildly. Only when the two are balanced and offset, can the interests be maximized.

But it is obvious that the vast majority of people will not see gains, only losses.

Why else would the phrase “a mote of dust of the times” come up?

“When exactly do you plan to blow the whistle? Do you have a plan?”

“Two to three weeks. They’re not going to wait for adjacent-dimensional futures to collapse.”

“Now it’s not just the economics who are involved in this matter, but also… you know, the other group of people don’t want any turmoil at this stage.”

“So, they issued a fatal order to ensure the returns of individual investors first.”

“As for big funds…that’s out of our control.”

“Or can this be considered a transfer payment?”

Chen Hao laughed, and Ye Zhou couldn’t help but laugh too.

I really didn’t think far enough.

In fact, there is really more than one way to pursue overall interests.

Is it possible to collect wool from large households?

Won’t?

It doesn’t matter, someone will teach you step by step.

However, in this case, the intervention of administrative coercion is a certainty. How to grasp the boundaries depends on the decision-making of professionals.

He also put down the report and asked Chen Hao about the status of the BCI project team.

“Have Chen Li and the others arrived? When are they expected to start?”

“Preliminary data collection work is already underway – speaking of this, do you really not want to meet that little girl?”

“Ah? Who? Yaoyao? Is she here too?”

A look of surprise appeared on Ye Zhou’s face.

“Shouldn’t she be undergoing immune reconstruction surgery?”

Chen Hao held his forehead and replied helplessly:

“It’s all done… I told you the schedule the day before yesterday, have you forgotten?”

“…There are too many reports, I really forgot.”

“Why don’t you assign two new assistants? Your work is too complex, and the two clerks now are starting to be insufficient – that Wan Zhou, she is currently still being transferred to Sanchi Research Institute. She is the director of the Civilian Technical Guidance Office, can I call her over for you?”

Ye Zhou recalled Wan Zhou’s face in his mind, and finally shook his head.

Sanchi Research Institute is an important department of the General Technical Office, and it can be said that most of the zero-stage experiments are completed there.

That Wan Zhou can achieve such a position there proves that her ability is indeed very strong.

It would be a complete waste to transfer it to yourself.

Moreover, I really don’t lack assistants – it was an accident that I temporarily forgot about Yaoyao, and I will remember it in a day or two at most.

“No need, I can handle it myself.”

Ye Zhou dug out the email that Chen Hao had sent him before, and sure enough he saw that Yaoyao wanted to meet him.

“Where is she now? I have nothing to do right now. Let’s go see her.”

“The Shanghai Multi-Function Hall in the courtyard has been converted into a temporary command center. The specific work of the subsequent BCI transmission project of Huawu Institute will basically be carried out there.”

“Is there enough room?”

“The surrounding offices have also been modified and set up as temporary rest areas and observation rooms, so there is no big problem.”

“There are only over a hundred test subjects involved in this project, which is much smaller than the number of people on the energy side. This space can still be squeezed out.”

“Then let’s go.”

Ye Zhou didn’t say anything more, and the two of them left the office together and walked towards the multi-purpose hall.

…

Entering the multi-functional hall, Ye Zhou looked around curiously. It had to be said that the most technologically advanced place in the entire Huawu Academy might have changed hands.

——

At least that’s how it looks visually.

All the walls visible to the naked eye are covered by flexible screens, which display various parameters and pictures. There are actually not many tables and chairs in the spacious hall, but they are all filled with complex BCI equipment.

Among them are not only the original AVS, AES and neural connection exoskeleton equipment, but also the latest BCI direct transmission equipment.

Someone is sitting on a BCI transmission equipment in the middle, undergoing final debugging and testing.

The display screen in front of her displayed a simple dynamic color block picture in real time.

Obviously, these dynamic color blocks are controlled by the BCI transmission device, or in other words, by the experimenter’s brain.

Ye Zhou watched with interest as the colors kept changing, but soon something happened that shocked him.

Lines suddenly appeared on the screen.

Then, the chaotic lines were put together in a completely disordered yet logical way.

If an artist paints in a sequential order, such as drawing the eyes first and then the nose, then the way these lines form a painting is completely jumpy – it is a full-scale, non-prioritized way of presentation.

Soon, the lines formed a pattern, and the pattern took on color.

What appears on the screen is a colorful cartoon teddy bear.

“The sensitivity of the color module needs to be adjusted. If it is just for one-way transmission, I think it is better to cancel the color module directly…”

A childish voice came from the mouth of the operator on the chair.

She groped for her BCI helmet on a nearby table, but was surprised to find it wasn’t there.

And at this moment, she heard a familiar voice.

“Yao Yao, do you know who I am?”
