Chapter 1030 - 275: Xu Lin’s New Research (Career) (2)

So Xu Lin sent her back.

In the following days, Xu Lin worked at the villa.

This time it was content related to neuroscience research.

Xu Lin had quickly gone through a large number of papers.

With a theoretical foundation, the next step was to study the technology.

In the field of neuroscience, the scientific community has always been conducting research. Xu Lin can’t start from scratch; learning from predecessors is the hard truth.

Hence, Xu Lin issued a command to Moon God: hack into all relevant laboratories worldwide and copy all replicable neuroscience-related technologies.

With this command given, Moon God began its pervasive infiltration.

Those so-called firewalls couldn’t restrain it at all, and after hacking, the backend would not detect any trace of Moon God.

It’s akin to a so-called four-dimensional being standing beside you, and you’re entirely unaware of its existence. Human technology also cannot detect their presence.

Moon God is just that powerful.

It was never a creation meant for this era.

Even those laboratories that few people knew about were found by Moon God.

Every year, so many people disappear globally, especially in the Third World. Some countries with weak national power have no ability to investigate these missing persons, so where did they go?

Some of them are in these unknown laboratories.

Moon God uncovered all these laboratories.

After the technical data collection was completed.

Xu Lin made a copy and then sent a package over to Zheng Xincheng.

"This is the technology data package for VR research, but you must keep it absolutely confidential. Anyone who accesses this part of the technology must sign a confidentiality agreement..."

Xu Lin specifically emphasized this matter.

Moreover, a significant portion of Xu Lin’s technology package comprises other laboratories’ research results. If someone else finds out, it would be troublesome.

Many things cannot be disclosed before success.

But if successful, history is written by the victors.

After detailing the instructions, Xu Lin had Moon God monitor the situation. He clearly didn’t trust the people in Zheng Xincheng’s lab.

Leaks are always difficult to guard against.

But with Moon God, before a leaker even begins their work, Moon God detects them.

On the 31st, Xu Lin drove Ning Yuhuan to Chi Linyue’s company.

She started her graduation internship.

For Xu Lin, this was just a minor detour.

In the first week of November, Xu Lin spent over thirty million to establish a lab dedicated to neuroscience research in Jiangdu, equipped with professional and precise research tools for Xu Lin’s use.

Everything is in place. Xu Lin also began his neuroscience research.

The lab had only him, to be precise, plus Moon God; there were no other living people.

When working seriously, Xu Lin disliked having living things around, otherwise, it would disrupt his thinking.

Although it was just him and Moon God, Xu Lin’s efficiency was very high.

And he had the stolen technical data. Even at Zheng Xincheng’s place, despite having more people, they couldn’t match Xu Lin’s efficiency.

Moreover, Xu Lin focused on cutting-edge technology.

For example, what he’s researching now is how non-invasive devices, like VR glasses, can capture the electrical signals of brain regions related to brain activity, consciousness, and vision.

But with current technology, Xu Lin could not achieve precise capture. If consciousness is to log into the Virtual World, very precise capture is necessary, like when a human intends to send a WeChat message, as soon as the thought arises, their hand acts in sync; the same applies here in capturing electrical signals.

What Xu Lin needs to do is to make the equipment accurately capture human brain signals so that when consciousness logs into the Virtual World in the future, human consciousness can sync with the actions in the Virtual World.

This is just the first step.

Subsequently, visual, auditory, and olfactory inputs should also sync for logging into the Virtual World.

In this way, humans can truly enter the Virtual World.

This is a very complex process.

According to normal technological progress, now in 2027, human consciousness logging into the Virtual World might take at least another twenty to thirty years.

But Xu Lin wants to accelerate this process.

During his time in the lab, Xu Lin, as a researcher, was also a test subject.

But this isn’t a dangerous experiment, like those tackling a disease requiring him to take experimental drugs or trial herbs; Xu Lin didn’t need that. He only needed to stick some electrodes on his head and repeatedly debug and trial and error, continuously discovering various issues, and summarizing iteratively.

This is what science is.

In November, Xu Lin spent almost the entire month in the lab, essentially ignoring outside affairs.

Soon, it was early December.

Jiangdu entered winter.

On December 3rd, Xu Lin published a new paper on his website.

Title: "The Hypothesis of Human Consciousness Logging into the Virtual World."

Xu Lin’s website is very professional, especially after previous developments, where random internet users wouldn’t ramble around on such a professional site. Here, there’s an educational threshold; not everyone can blabber.

So, the people active on his site are, to a large extent, reputable individuals in reality, among which many are highly educated individuals.

As soon as Xu Lin published a new paper, many clicked to view it immediately.

Upon seeing the title, people were momentarily stunned.

In fact, at the same time.

Xu Lin also posted a new microblog: "Can humans log into the Virtual World, for instance, into the game I am currently developing through a certain device? I think it’s possible. Recently, I’ve been researching in the lab for nearly a month. Through my efforts, I’ve finally managed to capture my consciousness accurately, which could be considered human consciousness. I can let my consciousness enter a ’chaotic’ world, akin to dreaming, but the difference is that I can control my consciousness, synchronizing it inside and out. The academic world thinks human consciousness logging into the Virtual World requires at least another twenty to thirty years, but I intend to accelerate this process... Interested parties might refer to the movie ’Top Player’ or the TV series ’Upload,’ where humans enter the Virtual World via special devices; I am trying to achieve this..."

Xu Lin eloquently wrote over a thousand words.

On social media, populated mainly by onlookers, they couldn’t understand the overly professional stuff in the paper and weren’t interested.

But microblogging is different; human consciousness logging into the Virtual World is enough to grab attention.

"Is Young Master Xu planning to research the Virtual World?"

"Isn’t it too exaggerated? If someone else mentioned the Virtual World, I probably wouldn’t believe it, but now it’s Young Master Xu; I suspect that in a year or two, we might be able to log into the Virtual World!"

"You can always trust Young Master Xu!"

"So excited, does this mean that if Young Master Xu succeeds, we could directly enter the game world to play?"

"I’ve watched ’Upload,’ where after humans die, their consciousness can be directly uploaded to the Virtual World, starting anew. Does this mean humans could achieve immortality, Young Master Xu?"

"The human body can’t achieve longevity or immortality, but theoretically, human consciousness can be perpetual. It just requires a certain carrier, like the Virtual World."

"I still feel it’s too exaggerated. Is technological advancement progressing too fast? Won’t there be unpredictable problems later? Can humans keep up with the times?"

Quickly, related trending topics emerged.

Top Trending Topic: Young Master Xu studying the Virtual World.

Second Trending Topic: Human consciousness logging into the Virtual World.

On major social platforms, related discussion topics also surged.

Even related VR stocks in global markets soared.

Xu Lin’s influence now is indeed astounding; the market might fluctuate because of his words, comparable to presidents trading stocks on the opposite side.

He’s already one of the few men who can influence global stock market movements.
