"Little Flower, do you want to talk?"
He squatted down, hugged Xiaohua in his arms, stroked her, and asked with a smile, along with his uncle.
"Meow?" Talk? Aren't I talking right now?
Little Flower stared blankly at Gao Ang with her big, dark eyes.
Gao Ang slapped his head and realized that the guy was indeed talking, but what he thought he was talking was not the same as what he actually said.
"When I say 'speak,' I mean speaking the same things as me, you understand?"
"Meow?" I don't understand. Everything is fine now, isn't it?
Xiao Hua tilted her head, looking at Gao Feng as if he were an idiot.
Looking at Xiaohua's innocent expression, Gao Feng didn't know how to explain.
Xiaohua could generally understand what he, Qian Sui, and even others were saying.
While some of the deeper meanings in the sentences may be difficult to understand, some basic principles can still be grasped.
As for the sounds he makes, he doesn't need others to understand them. He only needs to recognize himself; others are dispensable to him.
"Alright, since you've said so, let's leave it at that for now. But I did manage to get you a toy this time."
He patted the box, then raised his chin high, as if seeking Xiaohua's approval.
"Meow?" What toy? Is it fun?
Little Flower darted onto the box and tore it to shreds with its claws.
"...Then can't you be a little gentler?"
He affectionately put the little flower aside and spent a short while opening the box.
"This is your toy. After I tidy it up for you, you can sit on it and run around however you want. Aren't you happy?"
"Meow." What a joke! I can run wherever I want now!
After saying that, Little Flower wagged its tail twice and darted to the top of the wall to enjoy the view.
Talking to idiots is really exhausting.
Gao Ang felt a bit bitter, even a bit like laughing and crying: Damn it, he was actually mocked by a cat, and it was even mocking him right in the face!
"Fine, I guess I was an idiot this time."
The reason I wanted Xiaohua to drive was mainly because I thought there weren't many normal people on this island.
Even if he develops brain-computer interfaces, someone still needs to test them, and the brain-computer interface system needs to be tested, optimized, and improved.
Brain-computer interface is a new field with no prior experience or models to follow. He can only explore it step by step. In other words, even if he has a super brain, he cannot guarantee that he can create a perfect version on the first try.
Theoretically speaking, Xiaohua's brainwaves and human brainwaves should have the same properties.
If there is any difference between the two, it is the frequency.
Just like sound waves, the frequency of the sound emitted by a human is definitely different from that of a cat.
"Never mind that for now, let's get this system out first. Once it's out, we can have Xiaohua test it. He won't dare refuse, hmph!"
"Your Majesty, get down and get to work! And you, Second and Third Brothers, too!"
"They're here!"
"immediately!"
"arrive!"
Assembling smart cars is physically demanding work, so Gao Yuan doesn't need to do it personally; he has more important things to do.
The brain-computer interface system is just one of his ideas.
It was an inspiration that arose from his and Chitose's magnetic pole signals.
Theoretically speaking, human brainwaves have frequencies; otherwise, how would they work with the magnetic pole signals of a thousand years old?
Gao Feng made a simple hypothesis as to why ordinary people cannot grasp magnetic pole signals:
First, the brainwave intensity of ordinary people does not reach a minimum lower limit, and cannot reach a certain level.
Similar to the principle of sound waves, the human ear can only hear frequencies within a certain range. Beyond the upper and lower limits of this range, it is basically impossible to receive effective stimulation.
Secondly, it is also possible that it has nothing to do with brainwaves, but rather that some kind of medium is missing, such as his and his thousand-year-old cellular structure.
It could be scalp cells, or it could be cells from other parts of the body.
Their cellular structure is very different from that of ordinary people, and theoretically, this is possible.
Gao Feng could not determine which of these two assumptions was the fundamental cause.
If it's the first reason, there's nothing he can do. Everyone's brainwave frequency is fixed, some are strong and some are weak, and it varies slightly depending on the individual.
However, the frequency range of human brainwaves is limited. Expanding this range is something Gao Feng cannot do, or at least not at present.
Therefore, he could only develop this brain-computer interface system from a second perspective: using some kind of medium to reduce the loss during the transmission of brain waves, so that the brain waves that reach the control system and are processed can reach the value that triggers the magnetic pole signal.
The material and characteristics of this medium have a perfect reference template: the three Chitose brothers.
The skin of the thousand-year-olds has peculiar grooves that resemble brain circuits from birth. Gao Feng cannot explain this phenomenon. If an explanation is necessary, it can only be attributed to the ultimate mystery of biological evolution.
Since the media system does not require consciousness, it took nearly a day to reshape ten brain-like circuit media systems.
Then he took the smart mini-program that he had created a thousand years ago, recalculated and rewrote it, and put it into a media system.
This rewritten smart mini-program is, in terms of function, a combination of a chip and an EEG receiver.
The brain circuit above is similar to the circuit structure inside a chip, and its material determines that it can receive brainwave signals.
The rewritten mini-program had its self-awareness-generating segments removed by Gao Yang; that is, some biological computer language code was deleted, and some mechanical computer language code was added.
In Gao Feng's view, this media system is merely a sensor and receiver, and can never develop self-awareness.
Many of his plans have not yet been implemented, and if too much self-awareness arises, it could easily lead to unpredictable consequences.
"Using a program to control a robot to control a small car—is this the legendary 'big ox pulling a small car'?"
After Gao Ang replaced the original control system with the media system, this smart car was basically a completely new vehicle.
The next step is to develop a system that can amplify the fluctuations of human brainwaves.
The media system can receive brainwaves, but it also has limitations.
In simpler terms, the higher the frequency of brainwave fluctuations, the clearer they can be received.
The fluctuations in brainwaves of ordinary humans are negligible compared to the fluctuations in sound waves.
However, how much amplification of the human brainwaves would this receiving device need to activate this mediator system?
At this point, Gao Ang began to worry again: he lacked data on the brainwave fluctuations of normal humans.
"Alright, let's use Xiaohua to do the experiment first. Once we get it working, we can optimize it later..."
After scanning the area, Gao Ang set his sights on Xiao Hua, who was looking at the sea.
Xiao Hua, who was gazing into the distance, suddenly felt a chill behind him. Before he could react, Gao Ang scooped him up in his hand.
"Meow?" Baldy, what are you doing?
"It's okay, I'll give you a ride. You can do me a favor later."
Gao Feng quickly tried to persuade him with kind words.
"Meow?" What's the matter?
Xiaohua looked at him suspiciously, feeling that this bald man had ill intentions.
"Hehe, you try to see if you can control this car and make it run a couple of laps."
Pointing to the mobility scooter, Gao Ang stroked Xiao Hua a couple of times, making him feel so comfortable that he wanted to fall asleep.
"Meow?" How do you control it? Is it like driving a car?
After speaking, Xiaohua broke free from Gao Ang's grasp, jumped onto the car, circled around twice, and glared angrily at Gao Ang: Where's the steering wheel?
"No need for a steering wheel. Besides, even if you had one, could you even reach it..."
Gao Ang put Xiao Hua on the seat and fastened his seatbelt. "Just think about it moving, just like you would like to have a few more fish in your bowl out of thin air."
"Meow?" It's that simple?
“Yes, it’s that simple. Hurry up, if you can get it moving,” Gao Ang patted the smart car, “I’ll give you a treat later!”
"Meow." I want to eat crabs, a male and a female.
Xiao Hua took the opportunity to extort money from him.
"Deal, but don't blame me if you get diarrhea!"
Xiao Hua didn't say anything more, and sat quietly in her seat, looking quite focused.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Gao Ang also quickly "observed" some changes that were about to happen.
Both humans and animals can emit brainwaves.
Simply put, brainwaves are the electrical signals generated by the activity between neurons in the brain.
The moment Xiaohua became focused, Gao Ang could clearly feel a sudden fluctuation in Xiaohua's brain.
This fluctuation was much more intense than usual.
It even carries a tiny bit of electric charge, but these signals are not simply positive or negative charges; they are more like the purest atoms.
"In other words, brainwaves do indeed have properties similar to communication signals, but they lack many of the positive and negative charge properties, so the probability of them being observed is much lower?"
This also explains why, in order to detect brainwaves, people usually place electrodes on the scalp and then use related equipment to collect and process the brainwaves.
The main reason Gao Ang didn't prepare electrodes for Xiao Hua was that he felt Xiao Hua wasn't an ordinary cat; her brainwaves should be much stronger than those of an ordinary person.
Indeed, when Xiaohua emitted that intensely fluctuating brainwave, the smart car's media system easily received it.
Stimulated by Xiaohua's brainwave signals, the grooves in various circuits within the mediator system begin to surge and generate new fluctuations.
These fluctuations, after being processed through loops and channels, much like a processor in a computer, eventually release a new signal.
This signal directly triggered the intelligent vehicle's braking and power systems, and what happened next left Gao Ang and Qian Sui completely dumbfounded.
With a screech of the smart car, it charged off like a wild horse.
"That speed must be at least 100 kilometers per hour, right?"
Gao Ang had no intention of intercepting her; after all, Xiao Hua wouldn't get hurt, and he wasn't worried about a broken-down car.
What he needs now is data. He needs to repeatedly record and observe every activity of Xiaohua's brainwaves, and also observe the correlation between these brainwave activities and the actions of the intelligent vehicle, and so on.
With a loud bang, the smart car crashed directly into the wall.
The agile little flower, seeing that something was wrong, used all four paws to tear open the seat belt, and the whole cat flew out.
After he landed safely on the ground, he roared at Gao Ang again: "You son of a bitch, you tricked me again!"
"Little Flower, why did you make it run so fast?"
Looking at the smoking smart car, Gao Ang was both amused and exasperated.
The frame didn't fall apart, but it was deformed; the bike is probably totaled because its motor burned out...
"Meow meow meow!" Damn it, I was just controlling it according to the speed you were driving, who knew?
"How fast am I driving?"
Gao Feng suddenly realized that he had driven with Xiao Hua a few times, and the speed was basically around 120 km/h.
So, Xiaohua got used to this speed, and when it wanted the smart car to move, it subconsciously returned to that speed.
The media system, being close to a conscious intelligence, quickly understood Xiaohua's needs: 120 km/h, rush out!
So, the smart car's electric motor started running at high speed... and then, it crashed!
"So, does that mean this experiment was a success?"
Gao Ang glanced at Qian Sui, wondering if the brothers had any opinions.
"It can be considered a success, but there's a problem. Mr. Hua's brainwaves are probably much stronger than those of an average person. Sir, you'd better find a normal person to test it on."
Qian Sui pointed to the wrecked car, said something, and then ordered the second and third brothers to clean up the mess.
"Xiaohua's brainwaves are a bit strange."
Gao Ang hugged Xiao Hua and stroked him a few times before saying, "When he has no emotions, his brainwave frequency is not much different from that of other animals on the island, and is basically within a certain range; but when he is focused, this frequency increases sharply, more than 10 times higher than before."
At this point, Gao Ang touched Xiao Hua's head and body, "Xiao Hua, are you feeling unwell?"
"Meow." I'm not feeling unwell, I'm just a little hungry.
Once Gao Ang was sure Xiao Hua was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief. "If an ordinary person's brainwaves were to increase tenfold, they would at least suffer a brain hemorrhage, if not an explosion. They might even have their brains burned out by those weak currents and become mentally impaired. But Xiao Hua is perfectly fine... It seems our CEO Hua has quite a few secrets."
He put Xiaohua on the ground, glanced at the smart car, and said, "I'll fix it up a bit and then go out for a bit."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace.
The three brothers exchanged glances, one grabbed a wrench, another a welding torch, and they started fiddling with the deformed smart car.
Gao Ang didn't fly far, but hovered above Changming Island, collecting brainwave data from most ordinary people below.
"The intensity of an ordinary person's brainwaves is slightly stronger than that of Xiaohua in her normal state, but it is still much weaker than the intensity of Xiaohua's burst state."
If the normal brainwave intensity of a human is 1, Xiaohua's normal brainwave intensity is 0.8, and Xiaohua's intensity in a burst state is 8.
A brainwave intensity of 8 is definitely enough to activate the mediator system and thus control the smart car.
In other words, an instrument is needed that can amplify the intensity of an ordinary person's brainwaves by more than eight times.
The main components of this instrument must be conductive, similar to the electrodes used to detect brainwaves.
It's not enough for it to be able to conduct electricity; it also has to be exceptionally active, and active at room temperature.
Only materials that are unusually active at room temperature can produce atomic fluctuations when stimulated by unusually weak human brainwave fluctuations.
Moreover, the atomic wave frequency of this material is more than eight times higher than the frequency of human brainwaves.
Gao Ang searched the element data stored in his brain, and none of the elements on the periodic table met this requirement.
Even lithium won't work.
"Wait, these elements seem to work!"
Three sets of data actually meet the high requirements, and these three sets of elements happen to be outside the periodic table.
"No wonder so many people want to find meteorites; it turns out meteorites can really be a big help!"
These three elements are the new elements extracted from that extraterrestrial meteorite.
Stable yet unusually active, it seems perfectly suited to be the primary material for this brainwave amplifier.
The reason why these three elements are said to be exceptionally active and stable is mainly because the number of their electron shells varies.
Logically, such a constantly changing number of electron shells should not exist in an element, as this would conflict with current scientific systems.
However, they do exist, and they maintain a stable and subtle balance.
"It is very likely that it is precisely because of this random change in the number of electron shells that they are so active? That they have magnetism, and that they have conductivity?"
If this hypothesis holds true, these elements would be worth a lot of money.
If these elements can be mass-produced, room-temperature superconductivity is not impossible.
Thinking of this, Gao Ang called Xu Qing, eager to know if there were any new developments at the Kyoto University laboratory.
"We are already aware of the situation you described, and Professor Zhang and his team have already begun preparations for the particle collision experiment."
Xu Qing's voice came through the phone, but it sounded a little weak and listless.
Will it succeed?
"I don't know, it's a low-probability event. That's Professor Zhang's exact words."
A low-probability event... which means it's basically impossible to succeed...
Indeed, scientists on Earth have already collided with almost every element that can be used in particle collision experiments.
Almost all the elements that can be discovered so far have been discovered; those that cannot be discovered simply cannot be discovered, probably due to the limitations of the current scientific system.
"By the way, I have submitted Mr. Xia's application for a review of his case, but it has been rejected."
Upon hearing Xu Qing's words, Gao Ang finally understood why she was so listless and unusually negative.
Indeed, Xia Jiancheng can be said to be the idol of most people in Bureau 303, and he deserves this praise both publicly and privately.
His murder case had already made some progress, but it was blocked by his superiors. No wonder Xu Qing was upset.
“It’s not a big deal. Cheer up. If they won’t let you investigate, I will. I’ll keep you updated as soon as I have any progress.”
No matter what, Bureau 303 is a privileged department. Having an assistant inside would make things much easier, and that was Gao Ang's idea.
Why are you so interested in Mr. Xia's death?
Out of professional habit, Xu Qing asked a question with doubt and skepticism.
"I'm not interested. I just think there are some suspicious points. And Xia Weiwei and I are related in some way. If I can find out the truth about his father's death, it would be my way of repaying her for her kindness in recognizing my talent."
He's started his deception mode again.
"I'm telling you, I'm fine with sharing intelligence with you, but you can't investigate me anymore, and you also have to protect my family. Consider this our deal."
"You want to negotiate with us?"
Xu Qing's tone became more forceful.
"Not with you, but with you."
There was a moment of silence on the other end. "Okay, I will do my best to protect your family within my capabilities."
Xu Qing just mentioned it casually. She already had a basic understanding of Gao Ang's family situation. Even if she didn't send anyone over, nothing would happen there.
If something really happens over there, even if she sends a whole company, it won't be enough to help.
"Alright, it's settled then. Oh, right, there's another problem. I need some equipment. I was originally planning to ask Director Zhang for help, but now it seems like asking you might be more reliable."
Then, Gao Feng explained his needs for a particle collider.
"I just chuckled. You're asking a deputy director of the health bureau to... and a doctor to set up physical experiment equipment for you? That's really something."
Having finally found a point, Xu Qing began to attack and mock Gao Yang.
"Alright, give me an answer on whether it will work out or not."
"It should be fine, give me some time, but you have to guarantee that these instruments..."
"Relax, I'm not stupid. I'm using it myself. I don't think you guys can make any progress on the new elements alone."
It's better to trust yourself than others, and Gao Feng doesn't think these people can create the same new elements.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Ang returned to Changying Island. He needed to spend some time creating some new elemental substances and also developing a few more brainwave amplifiers.
Broadly speaking, the number of protons in these three elements should be 2, 3, and 5 respectively. According to the periodic table, they should be known elements.
However, precisely because their proton activity is free, sometimes 2 and sometimes 1, they cannot be classified into the sequence of known elements.
To reshape these elements, Gao Gao could only randomly capture some hydrogen from the air and then reshape the hydrogen element.
They grab a proton from another element, force it into a hydrogen atom, and then control the proton to move back and forth.
The trajectory of this movement is exactly the same as the trajectory of the proton in the previous new element, sometimes elliptical, sometimes rhomboid...
This process was repeated 1024 times, and finally, new element atoms were formed.
After identifying the elements, we must also consider the atomic and molecular structures; otherwise, a new substance cannot be formed.
"As for molecular structure, aren't my epidermal cells already a ready-made one?"
It has sufficient strength, excellent conductivity, and is difficult to imitate—perfect!
This process is tedious and boring.
First, new elements are constructed, then new molecules are constructed, and finally, solid matter is constructed...
By the time Gao Feng completed these steps and obtained a palm-sized piece of new material, it was already noon the next day.
