Brainwave Virtual Consciousness Machine

Chapter 17: Brainwave - Virtual Consciousness Machine

"Attribute increased by 9 points."

Looking at his strength attribute soaring to 13.8, Chen Yi pondered for a moment. He then took out a 10000 mAh lithium battery. After removing the toy's original dry batteries, he converted the voltage of the lithium battery and connected it to the toy's battery compartment.

[Energy: 4.8 → 25.9]

[Aesthetics: 4.3 → 2.1]

"Attribute increased by 19 points."

After several days of experimentation, Chen Yi had already discovered some secrets about the attributes.

That is, the magnitude of the attributes is related to the item's power consumption and energy usage.

For example, replacing the toy's battery this time.

If a 10,000 mAh battery were replaced in a new energy vehicle, the energy attribute value would absolutely be the lowest, 0.1.

But when replaced in this toy, which has very low power consumption, the attribute value would skyrocket to dozens in minutes.

"Add two more."

Chen Yi continued to take out three more 10,000 mAh batteries and connected them in parallel with the previous one.

[Energy: 25.9 → 59.9]

"59.9, this is the limit for the brainwave instrument."

Seeing that adding three batteries only increased the attribute value by 34, Chen Yi understood that this was the attribute limit of the brainwave instrument, just like the 29.9 limit for chemical energy.

"Energy has been upgraded to its limit. The next step is to upgrade the information computation capability."

Chen Yi disassembled the toy and examined the model and pinout of the main control chip.

He discovered that the toy's main control used a simple single-chip microcomputer chip instead of a common processor chip.

Even if the best model with the same pinout was replaced, the performance improvement for this single-chip microcomputer information would be limited.

"I remember the promotional image on the box said this toy could also connect online for interaction. That's a great feature."

Chen Yi flipped through the toy's manual and studied it for a while. He found a USB cable and connected the brainwave toy to his computer, which was equipped with a 4090ti graphics card and a top-tier 13th generation i9 processor.

After some script setup, Chen Yi's computer became the computation core for the brainwave toy.

[Information Computation: 0.2 → 59.9 (-43.8)]

[Aesthetics: 2.1 → 1.8]

"Something's wrong. Why is the actual state showing a decrease of 43.8 when the theoretical attribute is 59.9?"

A hint of confusion appeared in Chen Yi's eyes. He carefully examined it for a while, his gaze settling on the simple USB cable and the information processing attribute of 0.2.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the USB cable's transmission rate. The information processing of 0.2 is affecting the performance of the computer, which is acting as an external computation unit."

Chen Yi had already understood this when he was adjusting the manufacturing of the drones.

Manufacturing an item is a whole. Although various attributes seem separate, there is a certain connection between them.

When one attribute or functional component is abnormal, it often affects other attributes and functions as well.

"Let's change the adapter and replace the USB cable with a Type-C cable.

Then adjust the information processing attribute. This problem will be solved."

After identifying the cause of the problem and replacing all replaceable components, Chen Yi began the formal adjustment and upgrade.

[Item: Brainwave Control Toy]

[Attributes: Energy x 59.9, Strength x 13.8, Information Computation x 59.9 (-36.2), Information Processing x 0.2, Signal Transmission x 0.3, Aesthetics x 1.8]

[Consciousness Wave: 2078715]

[Note: This is a flashy, seemingly awesome brainwave toy whose core functions can only deceive!]

Phew!

Colorful light emerged.

A few seconds later, the light dissipated.

The titanium metal casing of the brainwave toy reverted to plastic, and its attributes also underwent significant changes.

[Strength: 13.8 → 6.8]

[Information Processing: 0.2 → 7.2]

[Information Computation: 59.9 (-36.2) → 59.9]

"As expected, my guess was correct."

Looking at the upgraded information processing, the actual computation attribute reached 59.9. A hint of joy appeared in Chen Yi's eyes.

"Upgrade!"

With a shout, colorful light illuminated the entire room.

The light faded.

The brainwave control toy before him had completely changed its appearance.

The scattered external batteries and the computer Chen Yi had spent a fortune on but rarely used were all gone.

All the components had been integrated into a machine the size of a water dispenser, with 13 wires extending from it. At the end of each wire was an electrode patch.

"It seems 60 is the limit for brainwave-related instruments."

Looking at the Information Processing attribute, which had risen to 59.2 and refused to go any higher, Chen Yi understood this was the limit for brainwave instruments.

"Read!"

Looking at the brand-new Brainwave Signal Analyzer, Chen Yi chose to read without hesitation.

Boom!

A large amount of information flooded his mind.

"This seems to be some kind of special intelligent algorithm."

After more than half an hour, Chen Yi had digested the information in his mind.

It was a special intelligent information algorithm.

This algorithm could calculate and analyze the brain's β waves, α waves, θ waves, δ waves, as well as the frequency and activity level of brainwaves. Through a series of complex computations, it could generate an image of brain activity.

At the same time, this algorithm could also convert common code information into brainwave code, forming brain images and transmitting them to the brain.

"To better process brainwave signals, I need to pair it with a dedicated brainwave chip. Let's see what the technology behind this brainwave chip is like."

Chen Yi had a thought. As soon as he finished reading the technical information, his Information Processing attribute began to decrease, while his Information Computation attribute started to soar.

[Information Processing: 59.2 → 22.2]
[Information Computation: 22.9 → 59.9]
[Name: Brainwave Signal Analyzer → Brainwave Computation Workstation]
[Adjusted Note: This is a computation workstation dedicated to brainwave analysis. Paired with the brainwave signal algorithm, your brain activity images will hold no secrets before it!]
[Detected an attribute exceeding initial value. Read information? Yes/No!]

"Combined with a hospital's EEG and a change in algorithm, this is completely an interrogation artifact."

Looking at the adjusted note, Chen Yi couldn't help but gasp. He chose to read.

Information appeared in his mind.

Compared to the previous algorithm, which leaned more towards software, most of the new information was about the hardware aspects of brainwave chip construction and design.

"It feels like my brain is growing."

Chen Yi rubbed his slightly throbbing head, rested for a while, and continued to adjust the attributes.

[Information Computation: 59.9 → 10.9]
[Energy: 16.9 → 12.9]
[Signal Transmission: 6.3 → 59.3]
[Name: Brainwave Computation Workstation → Ultra-High Precision Brainwave Conductor]
[Adjusted Note: This is an ultra-high precision brainwave conductor. Every slight fluctuation of your brain's signals cannot escape its detection. You can use it to output your thoughts, fantasies, and control intentions to electronic devices. At the same time, it can also transmit signal images to your brain through brainwaves.]
[Detected an attribute exceeding initial value. Read information? Yes/No.]

An hour later.

Chen Yi rubbed his temples, feeling the technical information constantly rippling through his mind. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The three core components of consciousness virtualization equipment are finally gathered."

Looking at the brainwave conductor, which had transformed into a sci-fi-like virtual helmet, Chen Yi took out his phone and ordered a top-of-the-line computer from an online retailer, requesting delivery within three hours.

After ordering the computer, Chen Yi connected his laptop to the brainwave helmet and put it on. His thoughts, now much more powerful after multiple information readings, began to imagine programming the newly acquired brainwave algorithm in his mind.

Tap, tap, tap!

As Chen Yi imagined programming, the laptop beside him opened a TXT document, and lines of code began to appear.

The speed was so fast, it was like reading a hundred lines in a second.

More than two hours later, the time reached nine in the evening.

The algorithm code compilation was complete, and the custom-built computer Chen Yi had ordered was delivered.

It had the same 4090ti graphics card and a top-tier 13th-gen I9 processor.

Chen Yi dismantled a brainwave control toy, replaced its casing and battery, and then connected it to the computer to swap out the processing core.

After importing the just-compiled brainwave intelligent algorithm into the computer, a brand-new brainwave control toy appeared before him.

[Item: Brainwave Control Toy]
[Attributes: Energy x59.9, Strength x13.8, Information Computation x59.9, Information Processing x59.2, Signal Transmission x0.3, Aesthetics x1.8]
[Consciousness Wave: 2043615]
[Adjustable Attributes: 0]
[Note: This is a ridiculously powerful brainwave control toy. With its simple induction electrodes, it can process and analyze basic brain activity signals.]

"After manually changing the algorithm, the Information Processing attribute has indeed increased to 59.2."

"Two of the three core attributes, Information Processing and Information Computation, have reached their peak. Next, I just need to push Signal Transmission to its limit, and the Brainwave Virtual Consciousness Machine will be complete!"

Chen Yi looked at the toy with its outrageously high stats. With a thought, seven-colored light erupted.

When the light faded, the scattered batteries, computer, and brainwave control toy all vanished.

In their place was a black, light-reflecting helmet with a hint of technological flair.
