Chapter 455: Chapter 453: Auxiliary Brain Technology

The robot quickly served up some grilled octopus skewers along with some side dishes.

Zhang Yuan excitedly ran into the kitchen and concocted some special sauce. In those difficult years of the past, even enjoying a tasty meal had become a luxury...

Even though each of Zhang Yuan’s reincarnations led to a very good birth, the ultimate outcome always resulted in turmoil and degradation, which was arguably a choice he had made himself.

Thinking this way, he sighed softly.

The changes in the era were really too great.

Preparing the sauce didn’t take too much effort; on the way, he had already used the human body chip to send relevant data and prepare these seasonings.

"Try this!"

"Alright, I just made a call and invited the two sisters over. They’re so busy with work, they don’t even look for boyfriends, I wonder what they are doing all day..."

Since everyone had an auxiliary brain implanted at the embryonic stage, everyone had become very intelligent, both in terms of learning ability and memory, which had undergone revolutionary changes compared to the past.

The existence of the auxiliary brain had also changed various aspects of life, including enabling human-machine interaction through electromagnetic waves.

In principle, the auxiliary brain only accepts the body’s own electrical signals. Humans still have to rely on their eyes to see, ears to listen, and bodies to feel, to perceive the outside world; they cannot directly receive information from electromagnetic waves in the air.

This was to consider safety issues to prevent a computer virus from paralyzing humanity.

However, the fact that the human brain cannot receive electromagnetic waves does not affect its ability to emit them. Nowadays, people often implant a human body chip at the back of their necks as a brainwave reading device and an electromagnetic wave emission device. With this chip, many tasks can be performed by robots by simply thinking about them.

Do not underestimate this point; whether it is typing on a computer, operating Power Armor, or drawing diagrams and calculating, everything has been simplified countless times!

The work efficiency of humans had greatly improved; using many intricate tools no longer required manual manipulation as in the past.

For most modern humans, this was not a problem. Everyone had good memory, and converting the mental images into the computer became a very simple task.

Of course, there was still a difference between the intelligent and the mediocre. Zhang Yuan’s class was the so-called "elite class," directly skipping several grades to university, which mainly taught content from former postgraduate and doctoral programs.

In order to avoid the waste of talent, after secondary education, each person, based on their preferences, would undergo categorized training to determine their future research direction. This was to adapt to the large-scale technology tree of a Third-level Civilization with a smaller population.

Zhang Yuan was adapting to this whole new era and couldn’t help but remark, "Ever since humans invented the auxiliary memory brain, they have firmly established themselves in the Third-level Civilization, fully mastering the extensive technology tree... It really isn’t easy. Four or five hundred years ago, converting brainwaves into images was still very advanced technology, requiring extremely focused individuals to accomplish. But now, even children can do it easily!"

"But with a population of twenty million, filling all branches of the technology tree is still a bit challenging. Therefore, virtually every individual engages in intellectual activities, specialized in a specific direction to reduce the waste of human resources..."

As they were chatting, two beautiful sisters sat down next to them. "It’s quite rare for you to treat us to a meal. Ah, your sauce is really good... The grilled octopus tastes so amazing!"

Zhang Yuan grinned; they were two sisters from the same Small Family, the younger one named Zhao Congcong, five years older than him, and an exceptionally lively girl.

The oldest was called Hua Yun, and she was seven years older than him.

Zhao Congcong smiled and chided him, "Zhang Yuan, you shouldn’t always talk about such serious matters, humanity is always progressing for the better. Also, don’t just bury your head in books all day without saying a word, how are you going to find a girlfriend like that? You’re already 18 years old."

"Yes, always so serious. But today, it seems like you’ve come around quite a bit... But it’s still a bit early for girlfriends, 18 is still very young!"

Hua Yun’s thoughts were much more traditional than Zhao Congcong’s; she believed humans should focus on learning until the age of 50, as that was the best time period for learning capabilities.

Feeling a bit embarrassed being constantly caught in his faults, Zhang Yuan hastily said, "No, no, no, I was just lamenting how difficult social progress is. It seems as if... it seems as if it came out of nowhere and looks easy, but in reality, it took a very long time."

Indeed, for Zhang Yuan, progress did seem to have come out of nowhere.

Everyone was happily eating and drinking together. Zhang Yuan still really loved the feeling of being with his family, even if his psychological age was much older than these three people. But then, who doesn’t like being with young people?

Lu Tao was next to him, inexplicably enthusiastically recommending the newly launched "Bionic Artificial Cornea."

It was just a simple corneal operation, replacing the original cornea with a bionic one.

The technology for bionics had become increasingly powerful, with various bionic devices now being able to use blood sugar as an energy source, eliminating the need to replace batteries and such anymore.

After installing the latest type of corneas, human vision would become much better, enabling them to see clearly in dim light environments.

"...Even able to see bacteria! You know, even the beauty queens on campus have mites on their faces!"

The two girls were shocked and frightened, one of them even hit him.

"...Then, this feature was temporarily banned because it caused discomfort for many."

As Lu Tao talked about this topic, he became more and more enthusiastic, "Although the ability for human eyes to see bacteria had been realized long ago with the installation of electronic eyes... integrating this function into the cornea is still quite an achievement. Zhao Congcong, why don’t you get the surgery?"

Zhao Congcong quickly shook her head, "We’ll see, I don’t have myopia right now... Haha, I’m a bit scared. But, if it helps with the experiment, I really should consider it."

She was involved in biological research and was still a graduate student. Being able to see bacteria without the aid of a microscope would indeed be very helpful...

Isn’t the progression of human society because the tools become more advanced?

Zhang Yuan was laughing on the side, most concerned about what kind of changes had occurred in Kunlun Mountain society during the hundreds of years he’d been away, whether in terms of technology, history, or culture. These changes were easily felt from every little aspect of life.

"It looks like the research in bionics has been quite successful; it has permeated every aspect of life... This is good!"

Zhang Yuan was also not opposed to this kind of self-reconstruction; it was one of their original plans, which seemed to have been well executed by the subsequent generations of leaders.
