"I manage several thousand people under me. What my subordinates tell me can be completely different from the truth."
Zheng Li interrupted, saying, "The Truth System is only used by the media and governments at all levels to issue announcements; it will not become a regular mechanism for internal communication."
"They will have less leeway, but that only applies to the general public; they won't use it in internal communication."
Academician Zhao: "You can't guarantee that the technology won't be abused. Once this trend starts, it's hard to stop."
Zheng Li shook his head: "No, we made it very clear from the beginning that we would not abuse it."
"And even if they wanted to abuse it or change it to their desired effect, it really couldn't be done without my cooperation and the technical staff of the Chinese government."
Academician Zhao asked, "What if I need your cooperation?"
Zheng Li stated frankly: "No one can force me to do things I don't want to do, and there are documents signed and confirmed by the other party when we discussed the requirements."
Zheng Li didn't really care whether he did it or not; he just didn't want to see the Truth System being abused.
If the truth system is abused internally, it will inevitably lead to the same situation externally, and power will expand again through technology.
In Zheng Li's view, the personal boundaries of the general public have already been compressed enough, and the compression of personal space is, in a sense, contrary to the spirit of pursuing science.
Academician Zhao smiled and said, "It's good to be young. If we can keep the truth system confined to the level of public opinion, it's undoubtedly a good thing."
"But it still affects the interests of too many people. However, both those above and below are satisfied, and those in the middle may at most grumble a few words in their hearts."
Academician Zhao thought that there was no need to talk to Zheng Li about how to conduct himself in the world now; it wouldn't be too late to talk about it after he really stumbled.
In Academician Zhao's view, given Zheng Li's status and ability, he would be forgiven as long as it wasn't a matter of principle.
"That concludes our casual conversation. Our main purpose today is to test the optimized brain-computer interface technology and see if we can recreate magic in the virtual world."
Zheng Li said, "Currently, the optimized brain-computer interface technology only covers the full range of human movements."
"But I spoke with the researchers you assigned to me before, and they've set up a demo that you can try."
For magic to be reproduced in VR, it must also conform to reality, and most importantly, be logically consistent.
For example, how can a brainwave analysis function that breaks down molecules into atoms be reproduced in a virtual world?
Creating flames involves raising the temperature, so how is this represented in a virtual world?
Effects like flames, light, and object movement can all be achieved through lighting and shadow effects.
The problem is that Chinese mages don't know these basic spells and can't use brain nerve signal capture devices to capture the corresponding brain nerve signal maps for these spells.
What they know are molecular-level operations, which are almost impossible to represent in the virtual world through lighting effects.
However, Zheng Li still came up with a way to fool them.
......
Clark Island is unrecognizable from its original state. Apart from the white villas that hint at human presence, the entire island is covered in green vegetation.
Fortunately, the entire island is far from human habitation, and the surrounding islands have not been developed, so no one is paying attention to this place yet.
In addition to using gene editing technology to create the main ingredient of the longevity drug, karke grass, Zheng Li also initiated the replication of magnolia.
Magnolia is one of the main ingredients for enhancing spellcasting abilities, effectively stimulating magical substances within the body and greatly increasing their activity.
Fortunately, Wiles' multi-layer neural network algorithm enabled Zheng Li to optimize the basic artificial intelligence on the bio-cloud.
The computing power that bio-cloud can now unleash is even greater.
Originally, rudimentary artificial intelligence could only control biological computers in parts of the Pacific Ocean near Southeast Asia.
The upgraded artificial intelligence can now control biological computers across the entire Pacific Ocean.
Thanks to his improved computing power, Zheng Li's progress in recreating the magical plants was even smoother than expected.
However, the researchers from the Europa League, who were in charge of developing the life-extending drug, did not have such a smooth experience.
"We are always stuck on the surface and unable to find the essence of the mechanism of life-extending drugs, which is obviously not feasible."
Of the three life-extending potions acquired by the Europa League, one was used by Wiles, and the remaining two are in Brussels.
A certain faction within the Europa League attempted a sleight of hand, swapping out two life-extending potions.
Fortunately, the Europa League's security measures were adequate, preventing the other side from succeeding.
Instead, they took the opportunity to thoroughly purge any suspicious individuals within the organization.
"Do you understand the generation gap? Only when we thoroughly study the surface effects and functions can we trace back to its mechanism."
Trying to understand the mechanism of life-extending drugs from the outset is inherently unreasonable.
"We're almost out of this life-extending potion, and our research is still at a superficial level. How are we going to explain this?"
"After researching and understanding the life-extending mechanism of a life-extending drug, we can reverse engineer the manufacturing process of a second life-extending drug based on that research?"
That sounds good, but can we actually do it?
If penicillin were provided to Archimedes in ancient Rome, he would be able to reverse engineer the penicillin manufacturing process.
Are you kidding me?
Those in power don't respect the objective laws of science, but we must respect them.
"The problem is that if we don't produce results, we will all be marginalized."
