#575 - Chapter 575 Implantation Completed and Testing Begins
"Are there any side effects after the neural implant?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Frankly speaking, there is such a possibility," Long San said bluntly.
"What side effects?"
"The biggest side effect is that the ability of emotional thinking will be severely weakened, and the ability of rational thinking will be greatly improved."
This was understandable, after all, the process of neural implantation was to enhance his knowledge reserves, which were all rational things.
"What are the consequences of weakening?"
"Emotional abilities decline, it may be difficult to empathize, lack of sympathy, not easily moved, cold-blooded, and so on," Long San replied.
"Besides that?"
"It may cause a loss of some memories, or it may stimulate certain memories. So there may be some cognitive impairment in a short period of time, but it will soon adapt."
"Just that?" Dongfang Chen was a little disbelieving.
"There may be other problems, but it varies from person to person, and it will only be known after the neural implant is completed," Long San replied.
"Okay, let's start!" Dongfang Chen knew that he couldn't get anything more out of asking.
"The implantation process may be very dangerous, so we need to inject a sedative," Long San said.
A black robot flew over, "Creak ~" and injected the drug directly into his arm with a needle.
In a matter of seconds, the effect of the drug kicked in.
Dongfang Chen felt weak all over and soon fell asleep.
After he fell asleep, another robot came in, its mechanical claws holding a helmet full of antennas, looking like a hedgehog.
The helmet was placed on Dongfang Chen's head.
"Neural implantation program started…"
"Drawing neural map…"
A prompt sounded in the room.
The first step in the neural implantation process is to map the neural pathways of the implant recipient, and then analyze and simulate them after the mapping is completed.
This step is to ensure the original memory of the implant recipient as much as possible.
Of course, it is also possible to perform an overwrite implant on the implant recipient. In this case, the implant recipient is equivalent to becoming a completely different person.
However, the Mars base would not do this.
Because the neural data they implant is only knowledge-based data and cannot allow a person to form a complete personality.
After the analysis is completed, the data can be implanted in a targeted manner.
The principle of implantation is the same as the learning process.
Signals will constantly stimulate corresponding neurons. Through this process, brain training is accelerated, and neural data is copied 1:1 into it.
This process can be understood as copying data into the brain.
The process was very long, and a day and a night passed quickly.
It could actually be faster, but it can easily cause damage to the brain.
The effect of the sedative wore off, and he woke up from his sleep.
He frowned, his head hurting.
"You're awake," Long San was still here.
"How long have I been asleep?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"According to Blue Star time, a full 24 hours."
Dongfang Chen nodded.
At this time, the hood on his head was gone.
"Is it over?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"It's done."
Dongfang Chen nodded again.
His head hurt, but other than that, he didn't notice any changes in himself.
"Mr. Dongfang, please rest for a while. We will do some tests later," Long San said.
"Okay!" Dongfang Chen nodded again.
"Do you want to lie down and sleep for a while?" Long San asked.
"Okay!"
"Woo ~"
The chair began to change, and the back slowly lowered.
At this time, the seat belt that bound him had not been removed.
Because he was still very weak, removing it might cause injury.
Dongfang Chen fell into a deep sleep.
The robot came over twice in the middle and added some nutrient solution for him.
This sleep lasted another 24 hours.
When he woke up again, he felt much more comfortable.
"Woo ~" The back of the chair automatically and slowly stood up.
"Mr. Dongfang, how are you feeling now?" Long San was still standing beside him.
"Much better," Dongfang Chen said.
"That's good. Let's start the test. This process may be relatively long. If you are tired, you can rest at any time."
"Okay."
"Next is the first test: symbol test."
"Please state the meaning of the symbol you see…"
The symbol test mainly tests whether there is any problem with his graphic cognitive ability.
This test includes common symbols of Blue Star, symbols used 1 billion years ago in the Dragon Kingdom, Blue Star text and Dragon Kingdom text, logos, etc.
After the neural implant, Dongfang Chen should know the Dragon Kingdom culture very well.
Theoretically, there should be no problems in recognizing the characters and symbols of the Dragon Kingdom.
However, there were still some discomforts during the test, and there were several breaks in the middle.
The reason was that some of the test content conflicted with his perceptual cognition.
For example, a Dragon Kingdom character, he knew that he had never seen it before, but he was very familiar with it. This complex feeling intertwined, making him feel very uncomfortable.
