"From this moment on, humanity has surpassed itself!"
Another doctor marveled, "He is the first truly transformed human in history, surpassing humans in both physical ability and thinking speed."
"This means that neuro-mechanical technology can now adapt to the human brain. Are we all going to become transformed robots in the future?"
"I can’t quite accept everyone becoming robots," a doctor said.
"Not at all," He Xingzhou reassured them, "In addition to neuro-mechanical technology, we are also advancing biological chip and biological computer technologies. When these two technologies mature, biological bodies can also possess super intelligence and cognitive abilities."
"As for physical fitness, genetic modification can achieve that too. Humanity does not have only one path to follow!"
This was also He Xingzhou’s inner thought. He believed that the development of human scientific civilization should be diverse.
If we only follow the path of becoming transformed humans and ascend mechanically, in the future, human civilization will completely transition to a silicon civilization, which may not be a good thing.
They were able to observe Qiao Feiyu’s physical test data in real-time.
He was constantly engaging in activities beyond human limits, yet the prosthetic devices indicated everything was normal.
"Qiao Feiyu!" He Xingzhou called out, "Next, we’re going to test your cognitive abilities."
"Yes!" Qiao Feiyu was sprinting. He tried to stop like before, but due to his speed, he ended up flying forward.
The Quantum Brain reacted, activated the electromagnetic suspension, adjusted his direction, preventing him from falling.
Seeing this, He Xingzhou knew there were no issues with the upcoming tests. The Quantum Brain could already assist his brain in thinking and controlling his body.
Outside the hospital, the media were all waiting for the results.
Hours later, He Xingzhou walked out of the hospital and approached the temporarily set up podium in the lobby for the press conference.
The journalists all stood up, looking at He Xingzhou.
"Academician He, did the surgery succeed?" Reporter Shen Bingbing stepped forward to ask.
He Xingzhou smiled and nodded, saying, "The surgery was very successful! Our patient has successfully stood up and connected to the neuro-prosthetics and artificial limbs."
Upon hearing his words, the journalists applauded.
The audience was curious, "The surgery succeeded, but where is the person?"
"I want to know what exactly they’ve become!"
"We didn’t see anything!"
"What do these neuro-prosthetics look like?"
As they were puzzled, He Xingzhou said, "Next, we will give a detailed introduction to this technology and case."
"This time, the main technologies we achieved are neuro-mechanical technology, Quantum Brain transplantation, and artificial limb transplantation, among others. With these technologies, humans can connect their nerves to machines and have the ability to control them with their brains."
"At the same time, the Quantum Brain, a specially designed miniature Quantum Computer, can assist humans in thinking. It allows people to have photographic memory and remember all texts, images, sounds, and other information, while also providing thinking speed similar to a Quantum Computer."
With surprise on her face, Shen Bingbing asked on behalf of the audience, "Academician He, do you mean that by implanting a Quantum Brain, an ordinary person can immediately become a well-educated genius?"
He Xingzhou nodded and said, "That statement isn’t wrong. In the past, people’s understanding of a genius was exceptional memory and thinking speed! Now, with the Quantum Brain implant, this ability is achieved."
"But from now on, the definition of a genius will need to change! Future humans will have exceptional memory and cognitive abilities, but that doesn’t mean everyone can become top scientists, scholars, artists, etc."
"Just like everyone can use computers, yet skilled programmers, designers, and top gamers are still few and far between."
"Creativity, innovation, and the ability to explore the unknown will be the key to defining a genius in the future!"
Hearing his explanation, the student community was overjoyed, "According to Academician He, we won’t have to painstakingly memorize texts and materials in the future!"
"As long as we implant a Quantum Brain, we can understand it all!"
"I get it," Shen Bingbing continued to ask, "Can you tell us more about this case? I think viewers across the country are just as curious as I am."
He Xingzhou said, "This surgical case is a special story."
"First, let me introduce someone, Comrade Qiao Feiyu. He was one of the earliest Xuanwu Army soldiers, having participated in multiple battles such as the defense of Shanghai and the defense of the sea domain, earning numerous merits!"
"Recently, in a battle against the Zerg, he was infected by the Zerg’s gene virus. Suffering from motor neuromuscular atrophy, he became a ’vegetative person’ with only brain activity remaining."
A holographic projection displayed the image of Qiao Feiyu.
It showed him valiantly fighting enemies on the battlefield, and later, lying on a hospital bed, with his muscles atrophied and skin and bones, looking very pitiful.
"A warrior becoming ! It’s heart-wrenching!" Viewers felt sympathy watching the images.
"The Zerg gene virus is terrifying, being conscious while watching oneself gradually wither is more cruel than direct death!"
"Just like our condition!" Among those at the Xuanwu Base, Sun Yi and others felt a surge of emotion seeing Qiao Feiyu’s condition.
Currently, are they not in the same situation?
"His surgery was successful, what has he become?" In the ward, all the fellow patients were glued to the screen.
In Qiao Feiyu’s home, Qiao Dayong saw the news conference and suddenly stood up, exclaiming, "Isn’t that our son?"
