Chapter five hundred and sixteenth bridge building
On the other hand, Chu Ya and Zhu Xuan were carefully assembling a non-invasive BCI transmission device. Ran La Azi was nervous on the side. She had never seen such a device before, and she didn't know what it was for.
Wires, helmets, display screens, and clusters of electrodes that looked messy... She recalled the scenes in the science fiction movies that teachers put on for them in school before, and in an instant she had many bad associations.
For example, brainwashing, organ trading, etc., is it possible that after you put on your helmet, you will no longer be yourself?
She subconsciously took a step back, but she happened to step on Yaoyao's feet.
"Ouch!"
"I'm sorry, sorry!"
A Zi apologized repeatedly, Yaoyao took a few breaths, waved her hand and said:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter...it doesn't hurt very much. Sister, are you nervous?"
At this time, Yaoyao was carrying AVS/BCI integrated equipment, and the database had been expanded. For security reasons, Chen Li still did not connect it to the Internet. But even so, supported by huge amounts of data, she still showed stability and maturity far beyond her peers and even far beyond most adults.
For example, she could easily detect the other person's emotions through micro-expressions, just like what she did to Ranla Azi now.
"I...I'm a little nervous."
A Zi stammered and replied.
She didn't know what the little girl standing in front of her was, nor did she know what attitude she should treat her.
"It's okay. I was very nervous when I first experimented, so I'd be fine if I got used to it--and you passed the previous test, so there was no problem."
A Zi nodded and then continued to ask:
"This is...what is this experiment?"
"The BCI transmission experiment is to pass information directly into your brain through neural circuits, so that you can skip the process of receiving information with your senses and speed up the transmission of information."
"Is it brainwashing?"
A Zi asked in shock.
Hearing her words, Zhu Xuan shook his head with some amusement, without answering, but Chu Ya stood up and looked at her, and said gently:
"It makes sense to say it is brainwashing. After all, under the coverage of a large amount of data, some people will indeed lose some of their memories, which looks like brainwashing."
"But, such a thing hasn't happened to us yet -- we can't let it happen."
"We have strict control over information flow rate and capacity, and we will never break through the carrying limit of your brain. Don't worry."
"Besides, today's test does not involve information transmission, it is just a neural pathway test, using white noise information - just like the white noise you hear in your headphones."
Hearing Chu Ya's explanation, A Zi nodded convincingly. The gentle elder sister in front of her seemed to have a natural ability to be close to her, which made her unable to refute at all.
Even if the other party said, I actually didn't understand a single word.
After nearly ten minutes of hard work, this set of not-so-complex testing equipment was built. Chu Ya was responsible for the equipment connection, Zhu Xuan was responsible for the system debugging, and Yaoyao, who was standing by, introduced the precautions during the testing process to Ran La A Zi as in detail as possible.
"The test may have a headache at the beginning. If it is not particularly serious, you can hold it up by yourself, but if you feel that you are about to lose your life, you have to tell Brother Zhu immediately and let him cut the data, otherwise there may be danger."
"When the information flow begins to be transmitted, you may see all kinds of strange things. Don't worry, those things are fake."
"They will tie you to this chair later, to prevent you from hurting yourself due to some hallucinations."
"By the way, it's best to think about something happy during the process. After the nerve path is filled, your brain will spread uncontrollably. If you think about something unhappy, then this thing will keep circulating in your brain..."
A Zi remembered what Yaoyao said in her mind, fearing that she would miss any step and would lead to the failure of the entire experiment.
I heard from the man named Chen Li just now that if this experiment is successful, I can go to Yuhang with them.
Yuhang... This is a familiar but unfamiliar name. I have seen this name countless times in the textbook. I also know that there is West Lake, Leifeng Pagoda, and the legend of Bai Snake and Xu Xian. But I don’t know what it is.
"Okay, ready to start inputting the signal anchor."
Chu Ya's words interrupted her thinking, and Zhu Xuan, who was beside her, also cast an inquiring look at her. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded gently.
Then, a soft noise began to enter her brain. This sound was like the friction of blood when it flowed through the brain. It did not make her feel bored at all, but instead had a hypnotic magic.
She felt her head get heavier and heavier, blood begins to surge into her brain, and the aperture of the blood vessels begins to expand, but the little girl said that the headache did not appear, but instead had a familiar sense of fulfillment.
This feeling has been experienced countless times during her study days and nights. On those silent nights, she felt such fulfillment and fell asleep.
A few seconds later, all the chaotic thoughts in her mind suddenly disappeared, and then an extremely familiar scene appeared in front of her.
It was a river.
A steel cable was hanging high on the river, and she stood by the cold wind, quietly watching the thin and short girl by the river.
It's her.
She still remembers that on this day, the teacher who was teaching in the village returned to her home with her. After seeing her father's hangover-looking appearance, she changed her gentle style at school, pointed at her father's nose and scolded for two hours before finally convinced him to agree to continue to school.
When I was sending the teacher back, I personally tied up the cableway clasps for her, watching her land safely on the other side before waving goodbye to her.
But after saying goodbye, I did not leave, but stood quietly by the river like the little girl I saw now, looking at the direction blocked by the mountains in the distance.
What was in my mind at that time?
A Zi suddenly fell into a confusion, and fragments of memory kept flashing by. She wanted to grab them, but whenever she stretched out her hand, the fragments melted into her palm like ice and snow.
After watching silently for a moment, college gradually began to fall from the sky. A Zi felt that she should do something, so she walked up and patted the little girl on the shoulder and asked:
"what are you doing here?"
The former self obviously did not recognize the person standing in front of her, but just answered ignorantly:
"I...I want to go to school, but my dad doesn't let me go to school."
"Why do you want to go to school?"
A Zi continued to ask.
"I don't know... the teacher said that we should go to school. If we don't go to school, we will not be able to learn knowledge. If we can't learn knowledge, we will not be able to change our destiny."
"But fate... aren't everyone here all like this?"
"How is it?"
"Grow up, get married, then do housework and take care of your husband, just like my grandma does..."
"My mother said that she was not doing well because she didn't go to school, but because she didn't find a good husband. She didn't object to me going to school, but she didn't want to see her husband being scolded like this..."
"Then what do you want?"
A Zi asked after interrupting the girl.
"Me? myself?"
"Yes, you yourself."
"I...I don't know."
"I want a lot of things. I want the books that the teacher brings us, I want new clothes, I want a door that won't leak, I want a kitchen as clean as the pictures in the book--I want to eat with my own bowl."
"I don't want a lot of things. I don't want to go so far every time I go to school. I don't want people to say that there is smell in me. I don't want the teacher to be angry. I don't want the ropes..."
"I heard that in two years, we will have to build a bridge here, and we will not need to slide the wires at that time."
"But how did the bridge be built? Who built it? How did the materials for building bridges be transported in such a big river and such a high mountain?"
"It's so messy."
"I'd better go back.....My mother is still waiting for me to have a meal."
A Zi grabbed the girl's shoulder, and at this moment, she suddenly remembered everything.
Yes, I was so confused at that time.
In school and at home, she faces two completely different worlds.
The teacher kept telling himself that going to school is for reading, and reading is for learning new things. Only by learning new things can one step out of this mountain and see a bigger world.
But at home?
No one thinks how important it is to go to school, and no one thinks she can rely on her own strength to get out of this mountain.
Yes, my mother would sew her open-lined backpack strap over and over for countless nights in dim lights, and would hide the last piece of bacon, and wash and steam it on the first night she came back from holiday, or quietly add firewood to the brazier in the middle of the night in the cold winter, and then close the window where she deliberately opened the small mouth.
However, she didn't understand the meaning of going to school at all, just like she didn't understand that she couldn't seal the room when making a fire in winter.
The world of home is a suffocating cottage with charcoal fires that can keep warm, but that kind of fire will only make you die in this room.
Only outside the door and only the cold and cold world is her way out.
So, she is willing to do anything about it.
Even so, she may not be able to survive this blizzard.
This made her feel an indescribable sadness.
However, just as she was in deep pain, the voice of the little girl named Yaoyao suddenly came to her mind.
"You will see a lot of weird things, don't be afraid."
Yes, I should not be afraid, because here, I am the master who controls everything.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously stretched out her hand.
The next second, all the snowflakes falling in the sky disappeared, and then the lead clouds were dispersed, and the sunset shone warmly from the edge of the mountain.
Immediately afterwards, a bridge was built out of thin air and replaced the steel cable on the river. A Zi looked at the little girl and said to her:
"Go, walk over, there's everything you want."
The little girl glanced at her blankly, then took a step forward and walked onto the bridge. A Zi watched her go further and further, but her figure grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When she reached the other side, the little girl had already become her own.
And she was waving to herself on the other side.
A Zi suddenly understood the meaning of all this.
Outside that hut, there was indeed a cold wind that could freeze people, but some people were working hard to build bridges.
No, not myself...
A Zi suddenly woke up from the hallucination. She opened her eyes and let the tears flow down the corners of her eyes. Then she looked at Zhu Xuan and Chu Ya who were still busy on the side and said:
