Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 570 Brain-Computer Protocol
West King Stadium.

Yu Yang sat side by side with Lao Bu, Lao Shi, and Welch in the front row of the middle of the court, watching the basketball game.

The latter three each possess a copy of the brain-computer interface protocol.

Name: Tri-system Brain-Computer Interface.

Types: Invasive and non-invasive.

Type: Medical Devices - Surgical Equipment/Auxiliary Equipment.

Research and manufacturing companies: Sanyuan High-Tech and Sanyuan Pharmaceutical.

The drawbacks of invasive craniotomy for electrode implantation:

1. Brain infection and body rejection: Once this risk occurs, it is difficult to improve or treat, and it is irreversible damage. It has a very high probability of causing the user to become demented or insane.

2. Postoperative brain impact can cause electrode patch displacement, misalignment, or compression of cranial nerves. If this risk occurs, craniotomy will be required, and the success rate of the surgery will be halved.

3. Minors' skulls are not fully developed, so this type of brain-computer interface can not be used. Therefore, the three-system brain-computer interface is only available to users aged 18 and above.

Defects of non-invasive electrode hoods/helmets/medical pods:

1. Low EEG recognition rate and poor fluency of AI machine translation.

2. During the process of brain-computer interface (BCI) remote brainwave acquisition, brainwave signals and machine signals are easily interfered with and stolen.

3. Brain-computer interfaces contain a great deal of absolute privacy. As they are external devices, like mobile phones, they can be hacked at any time by people other than the user.

Three-line Brain-Computer Interface Agreement: Purchasers who sign this agreement must be aware of and understand the above deficiencies and comply with the brain-computer interface usage instructions provided by the supplier, Sanyuan Pharmaceutical.

Disclaimer: The suppliers, Sanyuan Pharmaceutical and Sanyuan Hi-Tech, have the absolute right of interpretation and disclaimer regarding any medical accidents that occur with the overseas version of the three-system brain-computer interface.

Disclaimer - Note: After the overseas purchaser signs this agreement, the purchaser shall be solely responsible for all consequences arising from the purchase of the three-system brain-computer interface for the user, and the three-system enterprise shall not be held liable.

...

Welch reviewed the agreement, leaned back slightly in the stands, and while enjoying the game, he pondered rapidly.

Everyone knows that brain-computer interfaces have huge flaws, and it is simply impossible to commercialize them at this stage.

Even if the price is right, and even if there are no flaws, the capitalist camp will never allow it to be commercialized.

Because brain-computer interfaces are an emerging technology, the related industries that will emerge from them will destroy most current technological creations.

What will mobile phone manufacturers do then?
What should chip manufacturers do?
What should graphics card manufacturers do?
How will Qualcomm recoup its costs for 3G, a technology forced upon it by its 3-series RF chips?

These monopolistic companies represent the entire bourgeoisie, and only a fool would push for the commercialization of brain-computer interfaces in order to maintain their own position.

However, from the perspective of the Morgan financial group, and in analyzing the prospects of brain-computer interfaces based on the three-system brain structure, the Morgan financial group, including Brooks and Smith, makes it impossible not to pay attention to brain-computer interfaces.

Imagine.

Even without a market, if these three groups (brain-computer interfaces, computer science, and computer science) are willing to push forward brain-computer interface development at all costs, they could eventually achieve basic brain-computer interface applications in entertainment, daily life, military, aerospace, and more...

When advanced brain-computer interfaces can cover human perception of the outside world, enabling virtual reality games and virtual reality education…

When advanced brain-computer interfaces can cover an entire city, it will enable people to achieve godlike remote control abilities…

When brain-computer interfaces are combined with intelligent weapons, the battlefield will no longer be a place where lives are consumed, but rather where cold, lifeless robots are at stake, and the confrontation between large corporations will become a consumption of production capacity…

That will be an unprecedented industrial revolution.

The First Industrial Revolution led to England's evolution into the Commonwealth and its rise to global dominance.

The Second Industrial Revolution created the great powers and widened the gap between them and other countries.

The Third Industrial Revolution enabled North America to become the sole superpower, the absolute hegemon.

In the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the three systems emerged, and Sanyuan Agriculture, with its biological genes, graphics card matrix, high-precision equipment, and West Tower Star Link, gained the ability to counter the 'superpower'.

The Fifth Industrial Revolution, the next one, is destined to create a new 'world hegemon'.

Whether federal capital will maintain its current position, or tri-industry agriculture will take its place, or other countries will make rapid progress, the key lies in what the Fifth Industrial Revolution is and who will lead it.

If it's quantum technology, and North America dominates, then federal capital wins.

If it's a brain-computer interface, and it's dominated by the three systems, then the three systems collectively win.

If it were any other situation, North America would definitely scramble for it, but ultimately federal capital would prevail.

Therefore, in order to cast a wide net, to ensure the winning rate, and to maintain the status of the Morgan financial group.

General Electric must introduce the three-system brain-computer interface, then understand the technology, explore its potential, and develop more applications.

Welch opened his eyes and signed his name on the brain-computer interface protocol.

“We all understand that brain-computer interfaces are like Pandora’s box; they can only be held in our hands. Some small and medium-sized countries, or even Japan, Germany, and David, cannot possess them.”

Yu Yang nodded. "I understand. It's just a matter of misuse, but David already has that."

Welch initially wanted to say, "Let's join forces to take down David," but considering that old Smith was sitting next to him, he changed his tone and asked, "I wonder which three-system brain-computer interfaces General Electric can import?"

"There are quite a few types."

Yu Yang gestured to his secretary to bring out the second contract.

...

While Welch was reviewing the list, Old Brooks and Old Smith also signed it and received their copies.

Yu Yang stared at the arena and muttered to himself, "Back when the oil tycoon was planning to research brain-in-a-cylinder, Sanyuan High-Tech had already established a three-system brain-computer interface research and development department."

"Roughly calculated, and using your capital calculation method, this project has invested at least trillions of US dollars and mobilized 60,000 to 70,000 medical professionals, scientific research professionals, materials professionals, and so on."

"Selling you the three-system brain-computer interface and granting you technology licenses, while in order to recoup costs, is primarily driven by the 'rules'."

"Or, to put it another way, to establish more comprehensive rules for the use of brain-computer interfaces so that the industry can develop in a healthy manner."

Welch nodded in strong agreement, "The Morgan Group will push for federal capital to legislate for brain-computer interfaces as soon as possible."

"Therefore, in regions without legislation, we must never allow them to develop or import brain-computer interfaces, just like with nuclear power. If any country is secretly researching them, either you take action, or we will take action."

Welch had long suspected that the Joint Fleet's entry into Latin America was for resource extraction, and now it was even less likely that the three factions would collectively use brain-computer interfaces to plunder other countries. "Leave this to us; there's no need for you to get involved."

Yu Yang smiled nonchalantly.

Once North America is fully engulfed in the financial crisis, who will have time to focus on brain-computer interfaces?

They didn't even have time to pay attention to the north of South Korea, and were swaggering around researching the peaceful world.

the other side.

Old Bush and Old Smith have figured out Welch's purpose in introducing and learning about tri-system brain-computer interfaces to prevent federal capital from falling behind in the field of brain-computer interfaces.

After reviewing the three-system supply list, it became clear that Sanyuan Agriculture almost monopolized the global brain-computer interface supply, and Welch did not object to this.

Listening to their conversation now, it becomes clear that the Morgan consortium intends to sacrifice the North American market in order to gain access to the global market.

Or, to put it another way, Welch handed over the North American brain-computer interface market to Sanyuan Agriculture.

However, other countries in the world have not yet legislated on brain-computer interfaces.

In this way, North America could lead other countries in enacting laws regarding brain-computer interfaces and then import brain-computer interfaces from North America.

These imported brain-computer interfaces can be tri-system brain-computer interfaces, or they can be brain-computer interfaces developed by the Morgan Group, either through imitation or in-house.

Yu Sanyuan certainly understood this, but he acquiesced because of the issue of faction.

For example, if the three-system brain-computer interface wants to enter Germany, Yu Sanyuan will find it difficult to persuade the other side to legislate.

But when North America intervened, things became simpler.

After Germany legislated on brain-computer interfaces, Morgan Brain-Computer Interactive (MCI) captured most of the market, and Tri-System Brain-Computer Interactive (TSI) was also able to enter the market.

Of course, Morgan Brain-Computer Labs (MBTL) has borrowed from the Tri-System Brain-Computer Lab, used its patents, and even adopted its materials. Therefore, when selling MBTL Brain-Computer Labs in Germany, it must pay a portion of the profits to Tri-System.

And Old Brooks and Old Smith could, like the Morgan financial group, introduce tri-system brain-computer interfaces to the states they control, learn about tri-system brain-computer interfaces, manufacture their own brain-computer interfaces, urge certain countries to legislate, and then dump their self-developed and self-produced brain-computer interfaces.

Old Bu always felt that this tactic was similar to how Western electronics companies plundered Eastern markets.

However, the brain-computer interface technology possessed by Federal Capital is indeed inferior to that of the three systems, leaving them with no other choice at the moment.

Yu Yang obtained the agreement signed by all three parties. "Now that we have reached a cooperation agreement, let's not go back on our word and make these three documents worthless pieces of paper that are even hard to wipe our butts with."

Welch nodded seriously, quite confident.

After all, the partnership between Morgan and the three systems has always been very stable, and there has never been a breach of contract.

Old Brooks and Old Smith were in a bit of an awkward situation.

Because of their collaboration with the three departments, their orders were frequently changed.

However, Yu Yang was already used to it and didn't care about these things.

...

After the game ended.

The group checked into a manor-style hotel invested by Xiwang Group near the Hero Mountain Overpass.

After they all returned to their respective detached villas.

Li Changheng, a member of the think tank, called.

The other party was authorized to witness and listen to everything that happened at the West King Stadium.

"Boss, compared to the Morgan Group, the Brooks family is our best choice."

“Well, but Old Brooks is hanging out with Old Smith, so we can only choose Old Morgan now.”

Yu Yang has stated more than once that his company prefers to cooperate with George R.R. Smith rather than Morgan or Smith.

Because what J.P. Morgan cared about was the US dollar market, and the other side was always his enemy.

Old Smith was concerned with global capitalization, hoping that all companies could be invested in and listed on the stock exchange, which would essentially turn his family's collective assets into private capital. Therefore, the other party would always be his enemy.

Old Bush is different; the other side represents North America, especially the states bordering the US and Mexico.

Old Bu doesn't care whether his family is a collective or a corporation; he only cares about how much profit he can gain.

If the profits are high enough, Old Brooks would dare to overturn the tables of Old Morgan and Old Smith.

This also shows that...

Yu Yang's stable partnership with Morgan was due to the fact that both sides were very cautious.

Yu Yang and Old Smith had the best personal relationship because they had fought fiercely in the capital field. They were battling it out with companies like Golden Dragon Fish, Coca-Cola, computer technology, and pharmaceutical seeds. So they needed a personal relationship as a bond; otherwise, they would have fallen out long ago.

Yu Yang's relationship with Bush is not good because Bush Jr. is the North American governor, and Bush Sr. is the most prominent figure in the North American camp. If the two had a good personal relationship, the media would definitely publicize it extensively, leading to the Republican faction being attacked by the Democratic faction.

But in reality, our partnership with Old Bu is the most stable.

Senior citizen electric vehicles, graphene, ternary lithium batteries, satellite launch projects, Texas Agriculture 3.0…

Furthermore, in the military field, the three factions have repeatedly strengthened Old Bu.

Therefore, if circumstances hadn't forced Old Brooks to cooperate with Old Smith, the brain-computer interface project would definitely have belonged to the Brooks family.

"You can make further adjustments to the brain-computer interface."

"Okay, boss."

Yu Yang hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then contacted Fujima.

On the Mexican battlefield, the North American regular army was "cowardly" and it was only thanks to the fearless fighting spirit of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces that the defensive line was held.

This is a manifestation of the decline of the Federal Empire.

It is also an opportunity for the Japanese islands to break free from their constraints and stand up again.

Although Japan dares not launch a counter-offensive into North America, it can take advantage of the opportunities provided by the Combined Fleet to enter Canada.

Of course, the Japanese islands need to have the guts.
