Shen Yiran was so shocked that she was speechless, her mouth slightly open, staring in disbelief at the real brainwave data.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, displaying the decisiveness expected of a scientific research leader. He immediately slammed his hand on the table and made a decision.
"Immediately conduct chip implantation experiments on Subject Four to erase the emotional component. This is still our previous method, and I firmly believe it is absolutely correct!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yiran and some researchers immediately became anxious. "But what if we fail? Wouldn't we have to start all over again?"
"So what... can't you accept failure?"
Jiang Cheng asked a question.
Some researchers lowered their heads, remained silent for a long while, and then nodded heavily, "Of course we can accept it."
"Then what else is there to say? Let's begin the experiment. Everyone, return to your original positions!"
Jiang Cheng was decisive and efficient. The researchers in his group seemed to have been trained, quickly getting into the zone after only a second of hesitation! Even Shen Yiran was no exception.
Since the decision-makers have taken the necessary responsibility, the researchers are no longer afraid even if the experiment fails.
"The fourth RBN experimental material implantation program is commencing! Report the status!"
As he spoke, the researchers began to respond.
"Report! The RBN experimental material No. 4 is stable, its growth is approaching complete, the grid neurons are perfectly laid out, and it is ready for implantation at any time!"
"Report! The chip has been placed and the incubation vessel can be opened immediately!"
"Report! The robotic arm is ready, no problems!"
"Report! Input command ready!"
Jiang Cheng entered the command on the observation platform and then pressed the confirm button.
The robotic arm began its work, heading towards Experiment No. 4. In a matter of seconds, it completed the cutting of the culture tank, then probed inside and aimed directly at the RBN experiment.
A clear image has appeared on the front-end camera. The robotic arm is searching for and locking onto the location of neurons in the emotion segment, and the sharp blade is ready to strike!
Seemingly sensing the intrusion of a foreign object, Experiment 4 began to behave strangely. Its ring-shaped surface undulated slightly, contracting and then violently expanding as if issuing a warning. This struggle was much more intense than the previous ones. Everyone watched with bated breath, their faces tense.
Jiang Cheng remained silent, wanting to see what other tricks this Number Four might have up his sleeve.
Once this logical flaw was exploited, the success of the experiment was inevitable!
After the neurons are cut, the chip is directly inserted into them. The connecting wires on the chip are activated and begin to fasten the broken neurons next to them. After being reassembled, the chips replace the emotional modules, while clearing away some messy gray matter.
Once all the work was completed, Wan Xingyan stared at the chip status report. After the connection was successfully established, he immediately called out, "Dean Jiang, just like the previous test subjects, the connection is seamless, and every grid-like neuron is perfectly integrated. Can we start linear equation calculations now?"
"No, wait!"
Jiang Cheng uttered those two words calmly, and everyone composed themselves to get through this agonizing wait... Even though the results would be available in just a few minutes, it felt like an eternity, and the researchers couldn't help but clench their fists.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Experimental subject number four still exhibited reflective activity and did not decay; the nightmarish grayish-white color did not appear.
Jiang Cheng stared intently, unwilling to look away for even a moment.
He needed an answer, but two minutes was still not enough. What he wanted was for Experiment No. 4 to have the same lifespan as expected! According to Jiang Cheng and Chen Ang's calculations, the lifespan of an RBN material should be around twenty years, which is already a long time for a consumable non-living entity.
Shen Yiran became even more nervous. She kept turning her head to look at the digital clock hanging on the front wall of the laboratory, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Three minutes have passed, and it hasn't broken down yet!"
Jiangcheng made a decisive decision!
"Input the linear equation command to let the chip begin intervening in the neuromorphic process. Let's test the calculation speed!"
"Understood! Dean Jiang!" Wan Xingyan took his place and tested the procedure. The standardized test was to see if the fourth test subject could perform like the previous ones!
Professor Wan, the lead researcher of the chip, secretly felt a chill run down his spine. He closed his eyes and, as if resigning himself to fate, pressed the test button!
Subject number four reacted swiftly, providing data feedback! Almost instantly, the data came out!
"1.94 seconds!!" he exclaimed in surprise!
Jiang Cheng suddenly turned his head and strode to the chip observation platform, looking at the astonishing data! The test results of Experiment No. 4 surpassed all the previous ones! Because the test data of the previous few were excellent, exceeding the current peak performance of quantum computers by five times, but even at that speed, they could not break into the range of two seconds. This time, it was the first time that they had broken into the range.
A difference of 0.01 seconds can create a huge gap!
"Report the situation again!"
Chen Ang's hands trembled uncontrollably. He couldn't calm himself down and remained silent for a long time, his eyes instantly reddening with emotion. He wiped his face with his trembling hand and uttered a fateful sentence in an indescribable tone.
"The reflection of Experiment No. 4 remains stable... It has not decayed. Dean Jiang, your conjecture is correct. They all committed suicide."
