It took two hours for the special car to drive from the airport to a computer-computer interaction laboratory at Zhejiang University. This time, the battle in the laboratory was not as big as the heavy hydrogen plant on the island.

Accompanied by only two chief officers and one technical backbone, the daily arrangements were quite loose. On the first day after arriving, Chen Nian first experienced a round of smart glasses they called "Lingmu". He was surprised to find that, The usability of this thing is even better than he expected.

High sensitivity, high response speed, high image resolution, and high error tolerance after algorithm optimization make the entire use process quite smooth.

It only took him less than 20 minutes to fully master it, and in his field of vision, the world had completely changed.

High computing power has brought about a leap in development of image recognition technology, giving Chen Nian a completely different experience from his previous life.

To put it simply, after putting on glasses, he faced a "labeled" world.

Most objects can be recognized and most objects can receive sufficient information feedback based on the Baize system.

It's like a large 3D game with "not that good" realism. Some parts of the scene can be interacted with and some cannot.

Chen Nian walked around the laboratory. When he picked up something that could be recognized, an entry introduction immediately appeared in front of him. If it could not be recognized, it would be blank.

The experience was quite surreal.

Because, he actually had a gap on the point of "non-interaction".

In just twenty minutes, his world was deprioritized.

"This is really beyond my imagination."

Taking off his glasses, Chen Nian sighed and said.

"Technically?"

The chief officer on the side asked eagerly.

"Of course it's not technical. There's nothing difficult to understand about all these technologies."

“But the ‘whole’ experience that these technologies bring together is amazing.”

"I really couldn't predict that the emergence of a new product could actually make a real world develop in an illusory direction."

"I wonder if one day, when we put on these glasses, we will never be able to take them off?"

"That's really a topic that's being discussed in scientific ethics right now."

The chief officer nodded slightly and explained:

"Therefore, the main scope of application of this technology is still strictly first. It is only used in necessary work, study and research places, and its functions are also restricted by electronic fences."

“What you’re seeing now is a complete version, mainly for technical verification.”

"However, we are also considering making some corresponding expansions for the subsequent application of this equipment."

His words were very conservative and cautious, but Chen Nian still heard the meaning of "asking for instructions" in his words.

Obviously, as long as he nods, everything will run wildly in an uncontrolled direction.

For the first time, Chen Nian had the feeling of standing in front of a "negative decision". He looked at Chen Guo aside, and the latter stood up at the right time and said:

"Let's leave this issue for further discussion. Our main purpose here is to take a look and learn about the latest developments."

"Back to the topic, have you encountered any difficult problems in technology research and development?"

Hearing Chen Guo's words, the chief officer shook his head subconsciously, and then replied:

"So far, we have basically not encountered it - of course, there are some problems that cannot be solved now."

"For example, problems with computing power and algorithms."

"However, these problems will require more time to be solved in the future. It cannot be said that increasing investment will definitely produce results."

"So, we won't call for support for the time being."

"clear."

Chen Guo turned to Chen Nian again and asked:

“So that’s the end of today’s visit?”

"That's it. I took this sample away. Tomorrow, we will see how this thing is actually used in the education industry."

"no problem!"

The chief officer answered immediately, and then enthusiastically sent several people out the door.

After saying goodbye to him, Chen Nian's originally gentle expression gradually became serious.

"The situation in this laboratory seems to be more uncontrollable than we expected?"

"They don't want funding just because they have enough funding. Where does the money come from?"

"Corporate sponsorship."

Chen Guo replied without hesitation.

"This project is the most popular among private enterprises among all the projects of the Office of Civil Development. We don't need to take the initiative to match people. There are a lot of investments coming to our door."

“Our original intention is to create more tools for the education industry, but you also know that after a technology is born, its development often deviates from the original intention.”

"It's a contradiction - we want it to shine in the field of education, but capital only wants it to be an entertainment tool."

"Now, this momentum is quite obvious. We can only rely on administrative means to control it temporarily, but one day, it will explode."

"The reason why I brought you to see this as the first stop is because I want you to understand the real status of this technology as much as possible."

"Not very good."

Chen Nian said leisurely.

"That's right, pan-entertainment won't work after all."

"No, that's not what I'm referring to."

Chen Nian interrupted Chen Guo's classic speech as an "old school scholar" and then said:

"It is necessary for this thing to be popularized as a tool, but once it is popularized, we are likely to usher in a disruptive cognitive change."

"This will not necessarily lead to a deterioration of social order, but it will certainly bring about significant changes."

"And we can't stop this trend, which means we have to be prepared for the impact."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Guo couldn't help but frown.

He can indeed feel the impact of new technologies on the world, especially new technologies of this type.

When the perspective of human beings looking at the world has completely changed, then how can the world that is originally composed of human beings not change?

However, he really didn't think deeper because there were too many things that he needed to deal with.

"Are you sure it's going to be that serious?"

Chen Guo asked subconsciously.

"Of course I'm not sure, this is just a guess on my part."

"but."

Before Chen Nian finished speaking, he handed the glasses to Chen Guo and then continued:

"You can try it yourself, put on the glasses, and wear them until we return to our accommodation."

"Short-term high-density information may not necessarily have much impact, but continuous bombardment of information will change the entire person's thinking."

"It's even possible that there will be physical changes to the brain."

"And when that time comes."

"We can't go back."
