Chapter 904 The Beginning of the Infection
Even from the time when the company was first established - when Li Shoucheng introduced Mr. Liu and others to purchase services that afternoon, Chen Yan already knew that if a self-made entrepreneur like him wanted to accumulate capital, he must have enough
Fierce - ruthlessly making money from poor people!
You can only make money from poor people.
Chen Yan calmed down after realizing these facts, and concluded that the situation in front of him, which seemed to be about to explode at a moment's notice, was just a bluff forced by the poor to protect their meager interests.
'It stands to reason that this disease should be a spontaneous onset - as long as the brain computer is installed, the consciousness and the brain computer are incompatible, and the accumulated program operation errors cause the brain computer to malfunction, omni-mechanical disease may occur.'
Several thoughts flashed through Chen Yan's mind.
'But Mr. Liu and the others are obviously equipped with omni-machine prostheses and not brain machines. How could they have symptoms of omni-machine disease?'
‘Could it be that... this disease is something similar to a program virus and can it be contagious?
The virus can be transmitted between omnics, so even simple omnics cannot escape it.
But intelligent mechanical devices are made through the neutralization of carbon-based silicon, so they should logically fall into the category of [bioelectronic devices], so this virus... can it also infect normal human cells?'
Chen Yan was unable to verify his guess for the time being.
He didn't necessarily want to test the guess.
Chen Yan knew that he had to make money from poor people to start a business, and he also knew that making money requires a steady flow of money. Especially now, he had to let poor people see that his company could still provide services.
Chen Yan looked at the increasingly angry people in front of him and knew that he had to leave an explanation, so he loudly said:
"The omnic disease infection came from the Imperial Capital, and I am here to deal with this matter for everyone! Please wait for me here for a moment, and I will definitely give you an explanation!"
Chen Yan blamed the empire on something so huge that it was completely untouchable. At the same time, he passed by the crowd and looked at every angry look with sincere eyes.
The crowd became suspicious because of Chen Yan's statement and sincere attitude - they became suspicious of the anger they poured out on Chen Yan, and then made way for him - their purpose here was not to reprimand, but to
It's for healing.
If Chen Yan is offended in order to vent his anger, causing problems in subsequent treatment, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Chen Yan also knew about this, so he didn't even avoid the people in the crowd who seemed to be hiding weapons.
He passed through the crowd smoothly and entered the hive where the company was located.
It is now evening, and most of the company's employees have gone off work. Only Crow and a researcher from the brain-computer laboratory on the third floor are still here.
The two finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Chen Yan.
"You are finally back."
Crow's expression and tone were all serious, and he completely lost the look of a philistine businessman before.
"Today evening, omnic disease suddenly broke out in the mechanical hive. There was no sign at all, and the symptoms were different from those in the Imperial Capital!"
Chen Yan asked:
“What are the differences in symptoms?”
Crow looked around, and the researcher from the brain-computer laboratory on the third floor said:
“The main difference is:
The epidemic of omnic disease in the imperial capital only disrupts the normal operation of programs and causes the omnic equipment to shut down. At most, it makes it impossible to think and falls into shock;
The Meteor Omnic Disease of the Mechanical Hive will directly destroy the power-consuming components in the omni-device chip, causing the entire device to rapidly heat up to a temperature that the human body cannot withstand."
Chen Yan frowned and said:
"Will it burn out your brain?"
The researchers said:
"It's not just as simple as burning out the brain. The Mechanical Hive Central Hospital just announced a case of brain burning. The patient went crazy after the brain was destroyed, and caused the casualties of several medical staff."
Chen Yan was shocked.
What shocked him was not the particularity and serious consequences of this symptom, but another thing:
When the public sees such a result, if it is not resolved as soon as possible, they will lose confidence in this new technology, and such a situation will definitely cause damage to his company's business.
As a fellow member of Chen Yan, Wu Wu saw the slight change in the expression on Chen Yan's face and immediately knew what Chen Yan was thinking, so he interjected:
"Actually, it's not a big deal. This example is quite extreme, and it's just this one case. Other people who have been implanted with brain machines have been relieved after being injected with brain machine sustained-release fluid, and there is basically no life-threatening danger... That's it.
My brain is not working very well, my speech is stumbling, and my logic is not smooth."
This description... looks like Van Brynmesh.
Chen Yan defined this matter from the perspective of his own interests:
"We cannot predict whether the omnic disease in the island chain will continue to evolve, let alone what it will eventually evolve into. The top priority is to find a method that is as effective as possible."
He asked based on the news just now:
"Are there any other remedies? Sustained-release solutions are not a long-term solution."
The researcher nodded:
"There are already countermeasures in place in the Imperial City. Several large companies have jointly launched repair patches for several major program vulnerabilities in the path of the omnic disease. After applying these patches to the brain-computer, the problem of incompatibility between consciousness and brain-computer has been solved.
It has been greatly improved, and several program loopholes that originally caused brain computer downtime have also been patched. In this way, as long as the spread of omnics through the Internet is blocked, patients suffering from omnics can be treated.
Chances are, people who want to undergo omnic modifications in the future don’t need to worry too much.”
Chen Yan muttered:
"But people are often irrational. If something like this happens, it will definitely have a considerable impact on companies that have omni-machine business."
Speaking of this, the crow suddenly became excited:
"The leading company in the intelligent equipment industry, Byron Weiss Group, has dropped 3 percentage points in the Empire's stock market, and its market value has evaporated by 300 million yuan!"
In terms of the purchasing power of the imperial pound, 300 million is really not a small number.
Crow obviously has research on it, and Chen Yan is very interested, but now is not the time to discuss this.
Chen Yan asked researchers:
"Can we use their patch?"
The other party replied:
"No, they have encrypted it and only their product customers can use it..."
The researcher was a little hesitant when he said these words, but under Chen Yan’s encouraging gaze, he still said it:
“The software part of a brain computer is not a normal programming language, but an assembly language mixed with strange characters.
Based on the instructions you gave us, we figured out the usage of those strange characters, but we don’t know the meaning of those characters. (Chapter 865, Van Brynmesh brought the Byron Weiss Group’s brain-computer development log, related
The technical instructions were handed over to the counterfeit)
And these strange characters are also used in the patch.
Not only that, the empire [Brain Computer Technology Corporation] headed by the Byron Weiss Group has also applied for a patent for this unique assembly language."
Crow interjected in a "feeling very bad" tone from the side:
"Patent licensing fees are sky-high for us, so we don't even have to think about it."
The researcher nodded:
"Patent infringement fees are also a huge amount of money, which will cause us to make ends meet."
Chen Yan looked at him in surprise, heard the hidden meaning in this sentence, and asked:
"The laboratory's funds have been exhausted?"
The researcher blushed and nodded.
People who engage in technology are usually not so thoughtful. Chen Yan immediately understood that the researcher stayed after get off work today to ask for money from him.
When Chen Yan started that laboratory, he had already planned to burn money in the long term. He calculated the time it would take to spend the money until now, and felt that it was probably acceptable, so he said:
"I will transfer the next fund to the laboratory account later. You can spend it as you should without having to save money for me."
The researcher thanked him repeatedly to show his loyalty, and his overjoyed expression could not hide his inner joy.
Technical people like this kind of layman boss. Because they don’t understand much, they don’t interfere at all in the technical research process. They only pay money and get results. Under such a boss, the personal abilities of technical staff are usually better than others.
play a greater role in the situation.
The researcher was excited. Although he was a good and law-abiding citizen, he still did something irrational because of the excitement at this moment:
"Actually, for us, the threshold for patents is not that high."
Chen Yan heard what was hidden in his hesitation, so he didn't interrupt him and just looked at him expectantly.
The encouragement from his boss immediately gave him confidence. Although he lowered his voice, he could still hear the eagerness in his tone:
"Actually, I have studied with several other colleagues before. There are only two hard foundations for companies in Imperial City to solve this problem. One is the patented technology of software language, and the other is a computer with a special chip architecture.
