Chapter 1068: Being caught up again?

I am afraid that most people will not be willing to buy a computer for 100,000 yuan for playing a game.
But if you buy a "world" for 100,000 yuan, it's true that a bunch of people will follow it.
Of course, dreams are beautiful. In fact, there are many problems with Lu Zhou's method of calculating costs, because many of the resources he uses are actually free of money.
For example, the chip used in designing the neural modem was provided by Professor Wu Tianqun.
The entire carbon-based chip project was funded by his own pockets, and naturally no one charged him. For another example, some carbon materials consumed during the production of the whole set of equipment were ordered from Zhongshan New Materials.
It's just that it's an order, and it's no different from giving away. It's not that Lu Zhou wanted to stand up to Boss Liu's bargain, but when he wanted to pay, Boss Liu justly refused.
"These technologies were developed by you. How can I beg you to collect your money? Besides, you are also a shareholder of Zhongshan Xincai. Let's stop seeing the trivial matter of tens of thousands of dollars."
Lu Zhou is a person who is afraid of trouble, and sees that it is more troublesome to pay than not.
In addition to these visible costs, there are invisible ones.
Such as supercomputing-in fact, the computing power provided by Lu Zhou's quantum computer. If this part of the computing power is converted into the service fee of a general supercomputing center, it is also a hidden cost saved.
With such a strict calculation, maybe the one-hundred-thousand yuan estimated by him may have to be at least two or three times more than the real cost.
In short, after discussing with his CEO, Lu Zhou finally adopted Chen Yushan's suggestion, and will not disclose this technology for the time being.
After all, this stuff involves sensitive brains.
Putting the product on the market before going through rigorous safety testing not only has the suspicion of using consumers as mice, but also disputes that violate ethics.
After the technology is fully mature and then open up, the resistance to promotion will undoubtedly be much smaller than the technology that is directly taken out when it is immature.
Moreover, Xingkong Technology is not the same as Silicon Valley-born companies such as Neuralink and EyeMynd. Not only does the funding come from state-level support, they have no need to rely on early speculation to attract capital.
Just like the Ye Nan who actively found Lu Zhou, others always stared at his lab drooling, and there has never been a situation in which research could not be carried out because of lack of money.
Chen Yushan: "I will try to help you with the experimenter's affairs. How much do you need?"
Lu Zhou: "More than ten, do not cap it, of course, the more this is, the better. But if you can't find it, you don't have to be too reluctant. I say hello with Jinda ... there should be a way."
It's also a good way to have students volunteer, and I believe that as long as I heard about his research project and tested the virtual reality technology of neural access, a group of people will rush to sign up.
As for security, there is no need to worry at all.
Although processing the image data with the brain as a graphics card or GPU may sound a bit infiltrating, in fact, as long as people keep their eyes open, the working brain itself is doing the same and more complicated things.
In contrast, the interference generated by the neural-like microcurrent actively output by the neural signal modem is relatively small for the brain.
At least it must be much healthier than staring at the phone screen for several hours in a row.
If there are hidden dangers, Lu Zhou won't let Xuejie just lie down and experience it like this.
However, he had just expressed this idea and was rejected by Xue Xue without hesitation.
"Don't! Don't do this. If this kind of thing is exposed, what titles do you think those media will use?"
Lu Zhou frowned, remembering the unofficial media he had dealt with, his expression suddenly became subtle.
"... It seems to make sense to say so."
"Compared to the facts, most people are more willing to believe what they are willing to believe."
Looking at Lu Zhou with some headaches, Chen Yushan sighed and continued, "... In short, you don't need to worry about the experimenter's affairs, just let me do it orthogonally."
With a helpless expression, Lu Zhou nodded.
"Go ahead."
Someone cares about these insignificant things for him.
If he can focus on research, he will certainly not waste energy outside of research.
After sending away his sister, Lu Zhou turned back to the underground laboratory, and at the moment he was preparing to continue to ponder how to improve the system, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly shocked.
I took it out and saw that there was no news that Xiao Ai had sent it.
Xiao Ai: [Master, someone has offered a reward to investigate you on the dark web! ∑ (? Д?)】
"Investigate me?" Lu Zhou said for a moment, "Who?"
His first reaction was that of Dr. Z's vest. The paper he hung on Arxiv probably caught some people's attention.
It's just that he didn't pay much attention to this matter during the half-month of retreat.
Originally, I was looking for a few experienced and like-minded cattle people to improve the system together, but as soon as he got busy, he forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, it was only half a month later, and his vest was actually offered a reward on the dark web.
Xiao Ai: [I don't know! But I can help you investigate ... Can Xiao Ai be allowed to attack? (??????) ??】
Lu Zhou: "That's right ... but don't play too much."
Xiao Ai: [Received! (/// ω ///)】
According to the instructions set by Lu Zhou, only for defensive purposes, can it take the initiative to attack the source of the attack, including methods not limited to hacking into electronic equipment.
And if it is only suspected that there is a clue to the safety of others, he must get his approval before proceeding.
My vest was hung on the dark web to offer a reward. This is not a big deal, but it is better to check it for insurance purposes.
Just look at the emoji of this guy ...
Lu Zhou could not help but wonder whether this guy was protecting himself or playing.
...
It didn't take long to gather evidence.
After digging up the real IP of the account that posted the reward content, Xiao Ai quickly locked the target, successfully obtained administrator privileges on his personal computer, and took over his camera for the first time.
The truth soon came to light.
Lu Zhou suddenly felt a little funny looking at the man with big belly and smooth head in the screen.
Originally, he thought that someone from the FBI or the CIA was following him, but he did not expect that he was just a professor engaged in biological neural network research.
[Master, do you want me to teach him something? Such as emptying his hard drive. (? `? ′ ) ??】
Lu Zhou: "... just remove the reward he posted ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Xiao Ai: [：? Is this OK?" (OДo )]
Lu Zhou: "Well, it's not a dangerous person anyway, so don't embarrass him."
Xiao Ai: [Then ... okay. QAQ]
I took a sip of coffee and ignored the "QAQ" Lu Zhou for a moment and continued, "Yes, help me retrieve his academic resume from the database. I need a detailed information, including within ten years He has submitted papers, reviewing experience, attended academic conferences, etc. "
Although it is naive to spend one bitcoin to figure out what even intelligence personnel in countries around the world are interested in, one bitcoin can also exchange a lot of money.
Seeing that his life was not rich enough to be able to spend tens of thousands of dollars casually, Lu Zhou was curious, what made him so eager to contact himself.
