Zhou Bufan, who had packed up his things and was about to leave, couldn't help but go back to the laboratory to take a look. He was really unwilling to fail like this after more than three years of struggle.
But the reality is cruel. The friends who worked together have left. Since there have been serious problems in the experiment for more than a month, the laboratory has sued for this, and everyone has resigned and gone their separate ways.
In the last month, I tried countless times to save it. A person has been sticking to it, hoping to find out the real reason for the failure of the experiment so that the semi-implanted brain-computer interface technology can continue to be developed.
After more than a month of hard work, I never found the root of the problem. The laboratory has completely cut off the source of funds. If I continue to persist, it may even be a big problem to eat.
Dreams can have, but if you can’t even live a life, you can only put your dreams aside for the time being. If you come to earn enough money, it will be the time when your dreams set sail again.
I habitually checked and maintained the equipment. Although these things no longer belong to me after today, I still have feelings after working together for so many years.
Although it was just a bunch of machines, even if the latest artificial intelligence algorithms were loaded, it was still just a bunch of machines. Zhou Bufan always liked to treat these cold devices as his friends.
The robot arm detected Zhou Bufan approaching, and started the preset program and waved his hand to say hello. The computer also automatically turned on and continued yesterday's work process. The whole laboratory seemed to have come alive.
The first generation of virtual reality prototypes that were created with friends and the first generation of real virtual reality also lit up. Although the equipment was extremely simple, it was like a peerless beauty in Zhou Bufan's eyes.
Unfortunately, the experiment failed, and this thing was destined to have a miscarriage...
"I smiled proudly, I smiled proudly..." The sudden ringtone of the cell phone interrupted Zhou Bufan's contemplation.
The call was called by Li Dali. This classmate from middle school and is also an investor in the interface technology he is currently studying. However, he has been working hard to resolve the lawsuit in the past month and has not been in contact with him much.
"Old Li, when will I come to take over the laboratory? It's almost noon and I won't leave."
"Lao Zhou, what are you anxious about?"
"How about not being in a hurry? The air tickets are all booked and take off in two hours."
"Old classmate, let me tell you a great news. The family of the experimenter has agreed to reconcile, so our laboratory can still do research."
"...Your old man didn't accept the management rights of your investment company, would he not know this, in his eyes, be a laboratories that are not doing their jobs?"
"Actually, the old man didn't know about this laboratory. He thought that the money was spent on picking up girls over the years... In order to keep this laboratory, Lao Zhou has become a completely incompetent bastard in the eyes of my old man. Recently, even his personal account has been blocked, so you must persist, otherwise you would be too sorry for my huge contribution."
"...I don't want to give up, but in the past month, I have checked the entire set of techniques from beginning to end, but I still haven't found the reason for the failure of the human experiment, so..."
"Don't do that, I have confidence in you. As long as you give you time, you will definitely find the problem. If you find and solve the problem, you can make this technology bear fruit one day, so how can we become more developed, so that my stubborn old man can see how good our investment vision is."
"There is not enough staff, and Lao Xu and the others are all gone. I am the only one. This is really difficult to deal with. Of course, the most important thing is that there is no follow-up financial support. If I continue to stay in the laboratory, even eating will be a problem." Zhou Bufan said helplessly. Although talking about money is a bit hurtful, life is very realistic. You can't do anything without talking about money, and you may even go hungry.
Hearing Zhou Bufan's words, Li Dali hesitated slightly and contributed the only tens of thousands of dollars left in his own small treasury.
"Student Zhou is my last pocket money. If you persist for a few more months, try to find out the technical problems. You should still get some money in a while. If the interface technology really produces results, how can you definitely be successful in the VR market? You are responsible for technical research and development, I am responsible for marketing promotion, and how can we combine the two swords into the world." Although we encountered some setbacks, Li Li was still ambitious.
For him who has been living under the shadow of his father, the biggest goal in life is to let his old man know that making money is not just mining and selling houses, but even if he is playing a game that is not doing his job properly, he can still make a lot of money.
What is being studied in the laboratory now is a technology that can subvert the VR industry. It is a brand new brain-computer interface means, neither directly implanted into the brain's interface nor a non-invasive electrode reading device. It is a technology that implants passive electrode signal conversion chips into the scalp and attaches them outside the skull.
In principle, the technology is very safe. The risk of implanting a chip is almost as low as a skin test. There is no problem with the animal test. However, the human experiment that was prepared for a long time last time failed inexplicably. Although the contract was signed before the test, I still sued after the failure.
"I will do my best for your big red envelope."
"...Old Zhou, this time you can't go home for the New Year, I'm so sorry."
"This is a few meanings. Although I promised to stay in the laboratory, I didn't promise you that you would even give up on the New Year's vacation. This year, I had already agreed to go back to my family. I had already bought the tickets and left today."
"You don't know?"
"What do you know?"
"Your city is closed."
"How is it possible? The Republic has been sealed off the city after decades of its establishment. Student Li cannot be said nonsense."
"Don't you read the news?"
"Well, in the past month, I have been checking equipment and technical defects in the laboratory. I really don't have time to care about anything else... What happened? Is the city lockdown so serious?"
"It is said that a new coronavirus has appeared, and it will be transmitted from person to person..."
I turned on the Internet TV and found relevant information. Not long after the notice I just issued, the passenger station was completely stopped.
"If it doesn't work, I have to buy some food reserves, otherwise I will be hungry this year, so I won't say anything!" He hung up the phone and hurriedly hung up the phone, took out a mask and gloves in the laboratory, and went straight to the supermarket.
Fortunately, the things I was worried about didn't happen. Everything was sold. I successfully bought all kinds of daily necessities and easy-to-process foods that I could eat for more than a month.
