From black technology to super engineering

There was laughter in Ye Ming's office.

Professor Tang, father and son, Mo Gu, Jiang Dakui and Sheng Fei all gathered here.

"Why don't you remove your eyeballs?" Mo Gu was playing with a milky white "glass ball" in his hand, and joked to Sheng Fei who looked envious: "I promise to make the operation perfect for you."

Sheng Fei agreed straight away: "Okay, wait for me for fifty years."

"Fifty years asshole, will I still be able to hold a scalpel after fifty years?"

"Then let Aita help." Sheng Fei has been standing beside Aita, and now he is touching the arm of the mechanical body with a look of affection: "Aita, can you perform surgery?"

"Sir, if it's corns, I think I'm all right."

Aita cracked jokes in an intellectual and gentle voice, and there was a different kind of pleasure in hearing them, which made everyone laugh again.

At this time, footsteps came from the corridor, and a moment later, Ye Ming and He Mo appeared at the door.

...

Ye Ming casually moved a chair and sat next to the desk.

His position was handed over to Tang Haowen, the "sick man" - Tang Haowen has been a frequent visitor to the laboratory since he was discharged from the hospital last year. He cooperated with the research team to complete a large number of experiments and obtained a lot of precious data.

At the same time, he is also actively undergoing recovery training, and now he is able to throw away his wheelchair and walk slowly.

Professor Tang, like Ye Ming, randomly took a chair and sat next to his son, and accompanied his son to self-study the AI ​​major courses that he had always wanted to take.

Ye Ming "played" with the artificial eyeball that Mo Gu threw to him, and with a little force, the eyeball was split into two.

This artificial eyeball is manufactured by a medical device unit. The internal structure is filled with flexible heat-conducting silicone, which can easily protect the chip.

Jiang Dakui stood beside Ye Ming: "Mr. Ye, don't underestimate this glass ball. When the chip arrived two days ago, even though we had simulated the assembly plan for a long time, it was still a bit difficult to get it right."

"Well, but the operation is more difficult?"

"Yes, it looks like a minor operation, but it's actually no easier than a craniotomy." Mo Gu also nodded beside him: "The main thing is that in order to achieve the cooperation between the artificial eye and the real eye, it must be anastomosed with the extraocular muscles, otherwise when the time comes The difference in the rotation range of the two eyeballs can easily cause visual aberration, which in turn affects the judgment of the brain."

Ye Ming nodded.

Although he didn't go too deep into this topic, he still knew where the difficulties were.

In addition to the coding and connection of the optic nerve, the degree of simulation of the prosthetic eye, charging and even heat dissipation must be considered.

For example, charging—because the prosthetic eye will be coated with hydrogel material at the back of the eyeball when it is installed, so that it fits with the extraocular muscles, so it is not acceptable to pull it out to charge—besides, the back of the prosthetic eye is How do you buckle the one that connects to the optic nerve?

It can't be said to add a cable, but even if it is added, won't it hurt the nerves?

Use magnets?

Then coughing and looking for eyeballs?

So the best way is to "fix" it like a real eye, leaving only a cavity for detachable maintenance at the position of the front "pupil".

Then charging, of course, can only use wireless charging.

When charging, it is also necessary to avoid electromagnetic interference to the connection between the hybrid chip and the optic nerve-otherwise you will be full of stars.

There is also the issue of heat dissipation.

In short, it looks like a small eyeball, but it actually contains a lot of solutions.

In comparison, the software-level work of neural encoding of signals is much simpler.

"When will the operation be?" Ye Ming restored the artificial eyeball and put it on the table. After thinking about it, he threw it to Mo Gu: "Forget it, I don't want this, it's always a bit scary to put an eyeball in."

"Then I want it." Sheng Fei wanted to grab it immediately.

"Leave a souvenir for me." Jiang Dakui laughed and said, "I used tweezers to install the components one by one."

"Take it." Mo Gu threw his eyes at Jiang Dakui: "The operation is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Considering the patient's physical condition, the data team may have to stay at the hospital for a while."

"That's all right, you just go, I will give you remote assistance." Ye Ming looked back at Professor Tang: "Teacher, I don't need to go there, right?"

Professor Tang nodded with a smile: "You arrange it."

...

After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed, and only Professor Tang, father and son and Ye Ming were left in the office.

When everyone was chatting just now, Professor Tang kept silent. He deliberately concealed his presence like a bystander and concentrated on watching his son's study.

Seeing everyone leaving at this time, Professor Tang walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down.

"Haowen, come here."

Ye Ming saw that Tang Haowen's footsteps were a little staggering, so he quickly reached out his hand.

"It's okay, I just haven't practiced enough." Tang Haowen avoided Ye Ming, stood up with his desk, then walked slowly to the sofa and sat down with his father.

Seeing this posture, Ye Ming knew that Old Tang had something to say, and he also sat across from the two of them.

Professor Tang watched, then glanced at the son beside him, and a smile slowly crept onto his face: "Ye Ming, after Haowen's score came down, I reported him to our school—at first I thought he would be able to recover in a short time, So I tried to find a way to keep his student status for him."

Ye Ming was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Congratulations to Haowen—can I come back to study now?"

"Theoretically yes, but he's delayed for a long time." Professor Tang shook his head with a smile: "Speaking of which, he's still a year older than you."

Tang Haowen smiled shyly.

Ye Ming also nodded with a smile.

Of course he knew that Tang Haowen was a year ahead of him.

And he also knew that because of Tang Haowen's incident, almost the whole family of Old Tang was broken—if it wasn't for the emergence of nerve repair materials, probably the best ending now would be Tang Haowen sitting in a brain-controlled wheelchair, right?

"Haowen, tell yourself."

"Well... good." Tang Haowen took a deep breath and looked at Ye Ming seriously: "Professor Ye..."

Ye Ming coughed quickly.

"Damn, brother, don't call me that."

Professor Tang chuckled: "Anyway, I'm going to finish the process for you this month, what can't I say?"

Ye Ming: "..."

I don't know if I'm worried about him "running" or something... In short, the school can't wait to raise his grade.

Hmm... The specific plan is to directly send him a graduation certificate from undergraduate to doctoral degree, and at the same time hire him as a professor and deputy director of the quantum computer laboratory.

Although it sounds a bit shocking, compared to Ye Ming's academic achievements and influence, this is really nothing.

After all, the phrase "Einstein in the 21st century" has long been spread by marketing accounts.

"I thought about it seriously, and I think what Senior Sister He Mo said is right. In the future, there will be a reshuffle in the field of computer and AI." Tang Haowen looked at Ye Ming and said seriously: "So I want to be in your laboratory Learn how to work with Aita."

Ye Ming turned to look at Professor Tang.

Professor Tang also nodded slightly.

Ye Ming exhaled lightly.

Old Tang is indeed someone who knows his ambitions.

"Hmm...do you have electronic circuits and information foundation?"

Tang Haowen also glanced at his father: "Yes, inherited from the ancestors."

Ye Ming was immediately happy.

"Well, you and the teacher start with information engineering, and then wait until the quantum computing center is built, and we will work together to revolutionize the life of the von Neumann architecture!"

Tang Haowen has a foundation and is "not deeply poisoned", so he is perfect for this kind of young revolutionary.
