Chapter 161 - 161: 159: Why Can’t Lincoln be Treated as a Human Being!

Disappointed, he left the company, hitching a ride with Yue Pengju to go find some good food.

Upon returning home, full and satisfied, they ran into Lorin waiting for him at the entrance of his apartment complex.

It seemed like there were some conclusions about the focus headband issue, which took quite a while, Lincoln thought.

Having arrived home, as usual, Lincoln poured glasses of water for everyone and then with a “Pssht—” sound, he opened a can of cola for himself and took a gratifying gulp.

“What brings you guys here? Is it about the headband?” Lincoln took the initiative to ask.

“Yes.” Lorin nodded in confirmation, “but before we determine issues related to taxes, there is something we want to discuss with you first.”

“Go ahead.” Lincoln casually replied, followed by another gulp of the cola.

—They had Anhui food for dinner, which was a bit heavy on the palate. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but it made him feel like drinking something.

“First, there’s something I need to ask you. Can your focus headband be combined with the Mirage Console?” Lorin asked seriously, not paying mind to

Lincoln’s casual demeanor.

“Yes.” Lincoln spoke truthfully, “I was contemplating whether or not to add this function and potentially release the Mirage 2.0 version.”

“We hope you won’t integrate this function into the game console.” Lorin quickly added after completing his thought, “and if it is possible, we will provide you with ample compensation elsewhere.”

Lincoln asked, “Is it because you want to keep this technology confidential?”

This wasn’t hard to guess. The Mirage Game Console was definitely going to be sold overseas, and Lincoln was not afraid of others trying to decode it.

But if the focus headband was integrated, other countries wouldn’t even need to decode it, they could just buy a large amount of Mirage Consoles to use.

Though the cost would indeed be many times higher than Daxia, considering the role of this technology in advancing national scientific research and educational development, such a cost seemed trivial.

“But if the focus headband is widely distributed, isn’t it hard to ensure it won’t be leaked?” Lincoln asked, “Even when it’s widely distributed, the leak might be inevitable. ”

“Exactly.” Lorin nodded without hesitation.

“So, how do you plan to solve the problem of keeping things confidential?” Lincoln curiously asked.

Lorin looked at Lincoln with complete trust, “You must have a way, right?” “Huh?” Lincoln leaned back, “How did this suddenly fall on my shoulders!”

Lorin seemed a bit embarrassed, “The thing is, this technology was originally developed by you, no one knows it better than you. Overlooking this, in terms of technical level in the digital field, not many in Daxia dare to say they are better than you. So you see, this is a very important matter, we are relying on you.”

Lincoln took pleasure in Lorin’s flattery and began to ponder over solutions.

Seeing that Lincoln didn’t respond, Lorin continued, “Actually, we have other plans, but they are not foolproof and will involve a high cost. We came to you as a trial, you don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself. It isn’t a big deal if it doesn’t work. At most, we would invest a little more, as this project is indispensably important.” “Heh! Are you trying to provoke me?”

This age-old strategy—

“Of course I can do it, there are plenty of ways! It depends on which one you prefer.”

Lorin’s eyes lit up, “What are the methods?”

“The high cost option could involve installing a hard lock on each piece of equipment. We could pre-set the range of the device startup, once the device leaves the specified location, it will immediately lock on a hardware level and can’t be unlocked.”

“How much would the costs increase?”

“Threefold. And this will be a thorough lockdown; it cannot be repaired. It can be directly sent for recycling.”

‘ Lorin was speechless for a while, “What about the cheaper option?”

“Add network functionality to the headband, then build a dedicated server. Set up isolated neural signal backups for each person who gets a headband, and constantly send verification signals to all devices. If any signal does not match, immediately lock the headband owner, lock the software and dispatch people for tracking and investigation,” Lincoln expressed the second plan, and further explained, “The cost will only increase by 50%.”

“This seems more feasible, even though the cost is still rising, it’s at least acceptable.” Lorin nodded.

“I have another proposal, would you consider it?”

“What proposal?”

“Not only does this not require any additional components, but it also cuts off key components, reducing the cost to a quarter of the current level.”

“Ah?” Lorin was taken by surprise, “Which component? If the cost is cut to a quarter, will it still function normally?”

“The realization of the focus headband’s function mainly depends on two things, one is the headband, and the other is the neural modulator-demodulator. But these two components are not one- to-one. An enhanced large-scale neural modulator-demodulator can realize one-to-many.”

“You mean…” Lorin seemed to understand, “In one place, only one large-scale neural modulator-demodulator exists, and all headbands rely on this core to function. We just need to ensure that this large-scale neural modulator-demodulator is not lost, even if the headband is lost, there is no harm in elegance?”

“Right!” Lincoln agreed with a nod, “The only drawback is the lack of flexibility, because network functionality is not added, so the headband can only be used within the range of the neural modulator-demodulator signal.”

“That’s not a problem! This small sacrifice is entirely acceptable!” Lorin decided quickly, “We’re going with this plan!”

After saying this, he thought for a moment and finally asked Lincoln, “How large is this specific range?”

“Well, I don’t know.” Lincoln answered calmly.

“What?” Lorin looked at Lincoln with surprise, “Why wouldn’t you know?”

“Because I’ve never made such a large neural modulator-demodulator!” Lincoln responded innocently.

“Until now, my research has been about how to make it as small and portable as possible. As for how to make it bigger, I’ve never really considered this issue. There’s no instant answer to how to improve its performance, signal range, strength. All these have to be researched.”

Lorin opened his mouth in surprise, “So you’re just giving me a painting pie in the sky?”

“Why would you say that? Don’t all of these options require time?”

“But with a large-scale neural modulator-demodulator, this kind of hardware technology research, isn’t it the most time-consuming?”

Lorin had seen some scientific research teams get stuck with a hardware issue that took one or two years to research.

Moreover, it’s not about enlarging the existing device. The key points are signal strength, performance, multi-channel transmission, multi-core operation… Just thinking about it brings up a host of problems!

Lincoln is certainly brilliant, but with hardware, it’s hard to tell.

It’s possible that you might solve it by chance today, or you might encounter an unexpected problem and get stuck for years!

Unless Lincoln can be sure that he can figure it out in two or three months! But even for a genius like Lincoln, that doesn’t seem possible, does it?!

Lincoln blinked, “In terms of time, these three options should be about the same, right?”

At this statement, Lorin was confused, “You think the hardware technology issue of the large-scale neural modulator-demodulator is comparable to adding network functionality to the headband, and the time required is similar? How long do you think it will take to solve it?”

Lincoln made an estimate: He had all the principles and preparation knowledge of the neural modulator-demodulator in his mind, along with comprehensive information and practical experience from the miniaturization process. Combining the two to infer large-scale, and with Mavis’s assistance, he felt there were no difficulties.

Of course, it is good to leave room for flexibility in doing things, so he reported a time he thought was relatively flexible—

“Probably, one week?”

Lorin gawked in disbelief. Compared to his most idealistic and optimistic mental expectation, this was too fast, and too outrageous!

Once again, he realized that he had made a mistake.

In the field of scientific research, one should never see Lincoln as a normal person!
