Chapter 1156: Human Auxiliary Brain Project

At first, Niu Meng felt Yang Nuolan didn't understand the big picture, but when he heard Yang Nuolan mention ten billion companions, he suddenly realized how powerful the Yang family's backing was.

How much smaller is the safety issue of ten billion people compared to theirs?

He frowned.

Occasionally heard, the Yang family is not a family but a state dressed up as a family.

Only now did he truly feel the weight of that statement.

Now Daxia's population has stalled, even shrinking.

Meanwhile, the overseas population is still growing rapidly.

Niu Meng had occasionally seen a figure: overseas Daxia people are growing by over twenty million per year.

With one declining and the other growing, it's still unclear who will represent the Daxia people's benefit in the future.

"This, I need to report back before giving you a reply."

"What about the conditions in the civilian sector?"

Yang Nuolan nodded in agreement.

"We currently mainly supply to our partners."

"In the age of the Internet of Things, there's no need to fear these devices leaking out."

Niu Meng nodded.

"I still have a question here."

"We need to obtain the experimental data for evaluation; you should also know we have related research."

"If the joint venture poses no problem, they will enter the new company."

Yang Nuolan nodded.

"Sure, shortly someone will hand over the data to you and, as a bonus, let you personally experience our construction-use exoskeleton armor machinery."

"You can even take a few units away."

"Besides the military sector, we cannot let go; elsewhere, everything prioritizes Daxia's benefit."

The two sides quickly reached a preliminary consensus, and Yang Nuolan prepared to take her leave.

After seeing Niu Meng and the others off,

Yang Nuolan returned to her office and finally let out a deep sigh.

She still wasn't accustomed to doing such things.

Jia Weisi brought over a cup of cool tea for Yang Nuolan.

"Do you need me to give you a massage?"

Yang Nuolan waved her hand.

"No need, Jia Weisi; send a copy of our negotiation framework to the old man."

Jia Weisi received the order and soon contacted Yang Qing.

Upon seeing the armor, Yang Qing knew what Cyber would be facing.

After looking over the framework Yang Nuolan sent over, there was no particular reaction.

Instead, he asked about Cyber's other research achievements.

"How is Cyber's research on artificial organs going?"

Yunxiao jumped out.

"They have just developed a small hemodialysis device."

"It makes extensive use of biofilm technology."

"However, due to size and weight issues, it cannot be implanted internally and must be external."

"Yet after urinary tract integration, it does not affect daily life."

"Perhaps in the near future, this technology will become fully mature and can perfectly replace the kidney."

"Also there's the artificial lung, which similarly uses extensive biotechnology and is currently in clinical trials for transplantation effectiveness."

"If all goes well, it could be promoted within six months to a year."

"As for the digestive system, they are trying to use nutrient solution to completely replace it."

………………

Hearing this, Yang Qing immediately stopped him.

"Stop, stop, there's no need to tell me this."

Removing the entire digestive system, Yang Qing cannot accept.

After such surgery, how would he grill skewers? How would he drink alcohol?

Life's experience would be directly cut by more than half.

No matter how others choose, he himself could not accept it.

Perhaps only those who need this to save their lives would accept it.

Moreover, is the nutrient solution cheap? It isn't cheap.

The human digestive system can be saved; at least preserve part of it.

Yang Qing felt that since Yunxiao's exposure, Daxia's technological progress has taken a step up.

Many sci-fi things have begun to appear on a large scale.

For example, robots have already appeared on a large scale in the Yang line.

Yunxiao often possesses the Yang family's robots.

The Airborne Three-Bouncer has also become more sci-fi, now completely different from the original three-bouncer.

Small aerial vehicles are rapidly developing toward lightweight design.

Many steel components are being replaced by special plastics.

The aircraft's weight is getting lighter, and naturally, its structure is changing more and more.

This change lets small aircraft quickly develop toward an electric direction.

Yunxiao switches to Jia Weisi.

"Old man, I asked about the progress of other projects."

Yang Nuolan lifted her head and looked seriously at Jia Weisi.

"He didn't say anything about the others?"

Jia Weisi shook his head.

"No."

Yang Nuolan pursed her lips, frowned, and seemed lost in thought.

After a while, she finally spoke again.

"Ask him, what does he think of exoskeleton armor?"

Yunxiao comes back online.

"Old man, what do you think of exoskeleton armor?"

Yang Qing thought for a moment.

"Maybe it would perform better on an alien world; do they have an alien‑version research program?"

"Perhaps this equipment could greatly speed up the construction of the Yueqiu base."

"People, for now, still have work efficiency far surpassing machines."

Yunxiao relayed Yang Qing's words to Yang Nuolan.

Yang Nuolan sneered.

"You want me to work for the Heavenly Vessel again?"

But she didn't say much more.

The emergence of exoskeleton armor will inherently break conventions and bring limitless possibilities.

Weaponization is one direction; specialized operations is another.

Different people will extend different applications.

In the end, market selection is still required.

Yet the aerospace industry is indeed a stable and reliable direction.

The old man's insight remains very reliable.

However, what they don't know is that the most critical factor is a huge breakthrough in brain‑machine interface technology; otherwise humans couldn't operate exoskeletons as easily as moving a limb.

The massive breakthrough in brain‑machine interface brings a massive breakthrough in bio‑computers.

The Human Auxiliary Brain Project has already begun implementation.

This is the most important breakthrough.

Humans are accelerating the pace of merging with machines.

No choice; quantum computers, optical brains, bio‑computers and other technologies are also advancing rapidly.

Machines are evolving quickly; if humanity cannot achieve rapid breakthroughs, the chance of being eliminated grows larger.

The Human Auxiliary Brain Project thus becomes especially important.

Thinking of the Human Auxiliary Brain Project, Yang Nuolan also recalled human body enhancement research.

Scientists are discussing the possibility of superhuman evolution like the mutants in movies.

At present, like in the movies, it is impossible, but optimizing human anatomy is still possible.

To give people peak physical ability and intelligence.

Biologically, this can succeed.

If this technology can be popularized, it could directly raise humanity's overall level by one step.

In a sense, this also counts as an evolution for humanity.

Facing machine intelligence that evolves faster and faster, any human improvement means a slower rate of elimination.

Scraping by, perhaps humanity, with the help of the Human Auxiliary Brain Project, can gain a certain degree of advantage.
