"Test it by putting it on?" A Child Prodigy squatted down, wanting to pick up the helmet.
"No need to put it on, just test it like this!" The robot next to him spoke, "Please wait a moment, the helmet needs to be charged and self-checked first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, faint blue percentage readings appeared above the helmets all over the floor, slowly jumping from 1% to 2%, obviously taking a few minutes.
Many Child Prodigies were a little frustrated, like game fans who heard that there were games with more realistic graphics coming out, but were stopped at the entrance of the trial session and not allowed to enter.
"The performance has to be more than five times better, and it has to be made into a complete Supercomputer Server to be used. Now the performance is not five times better, and the Server is just a small prototype. If you wear it, you might encounter unpredictable effects." Song He explained, "Weird dreams are okay, but I'm afraid it will have some adverse effects on brain health and mental health!"
"We have always been worried about an accident, that is, after the Dream Control Helmet is out of control, it will make people experience extremely terrifying scenes in their dreams that do not exist in reality, thereby destroying their minds." Xiang Xiaotong described, "So at the beginning, we let the Gorillas and Monkeys in the Alien Zoo try them on. After they were stable, we hired Volunteers with high salaries to wear them, and simulated various failure modes and hacker attacks, and adjusted them for a long time before we dared to sell them."
The Child Prodigies suddenly understood.
"Then Dean Xiang, did the extremely terrifying scenes you mentioned... ever appear?" Yang Yu asked.
"Yes, there were a lot of failures in the early polishing of the first-generation helmet, all kinds of strange things." Xiang Xiaotong nodded, "Fortunately, most of them were concentrated in Gorilla experiments, and there were no major problems when real Volunteers tried them on."
Song He glanced at the self-check values on the helmets all over the floor, it was at 30%, and there was still some time to chat.
"The second-generation helmet is not completely mature. If you want to put it on the market, you must polish it. This is a good job. I will pick a group of students who have contributed the most in the process of developing the Supercomputer and systematically teach you how to do it." Song He said, "Take this opportunity to talk about a few small examples, so everyone has a vague impression."
"A typical failure mode is the extremely terrifying scene that Dean Xiang just mentioned."
"Why? Nightmares themselves are common dreams. All intelligent creatures who have lived to this day have evolved a full sense of anxiety and fear in the past millions of years. Animals that are not anxious or afraid have long been extinct."
"When the dream starts, if you fail to successfully enter the dream constructed by the helmet, but the brain starts to dream on its own, and it happens to trigger a nightmare, it is easy to have problems!"
"There is a Gorilla in the Alien Zoo named Citrus. It is very afraid of spiders. Red-haired Gorillas in Nature rarely fear insects. They have been in trees since they came out of their mothers' wombs, and they are surrounded by insects every day. They may even find insects very cute... But Citrus has been in the Zoo since it can remember, staying in a clean and tidy indoor environment, and rarely sees big insects when it goes out to climb trees, because we have been spraying Insecticide in the Zoo, so it has a fear of spiders that it has not seen much."
"Once, Citrus wore a helmet for testing. It was normal when it first entered the dream. It dreamed that it was lying on its small bed."
"Then it suddenly felt a little itchy in its ear. When it reached out and touched it, it saw a flower spider in its dream. It was so scared that it shook its hand frantically and jumped out of bed. The helmet had a problem when it dreamed here."
"At that time, the helmet's recognition ability was still very poor. Seeing that Citrus's brain was active, it thought the dream was right and made it very happy, so it began to strengthen it according to the old signal path!"
