Chapter 364： Bet against Hawking

After a shocking speech was over, Li Daniu didn't pay any attention to the impact of the speech, and directly started to visit the first target of the trip.

Because of Hawking's physical condition, this meeting was not a one-on-one meeting, but with Hawking's help.

When he saw Hawking, whose muscles were atrophied and disfigured in the wheelchair, Li Daniu's first thought was: "Do you know that there is a world in China, and many authors of urban science fiction like to pull you out?"

Hawking had no idea what Li Daniu was thinking in his heart. Through the assistive equipment on the wheelchair, he said: "I saw your speech just now, it was very exciting. I have to admit that you do have the ability to change the world."

Li Daniu laughed and said: "Actually, I admire your academic research very much, and you should be very clear about the purpose of my trip. Now, please let me reiterate: I want to invite you to change the world with me. "

Hawking, including his assistant, was very surprised by Li Daniu's frankness. Shouldn't this kind of invitation be made first, after a chat about academics?

"Thank you very much for your trust, but I am very satisfied with my life at Cambridge University."

Faced with this very obvious rejection, Li Daniu was not discouraged, because he had sufficient preparation and confidence to persuade Hawking.

In fact, Cambridge University is not Hawking's alma mater. He graduated from Oxford University, but only stayed at Cambridge University to teach after obtaining a doctorate from Cambridge University. Since you can give up your alma mater, why can't you give up Cambridge University?

"Mr. Hawking, as far as I know, your physical condition is not very good." Li Daniu ignored Hawking's assistant's murderous gaze, and continued: "How long do you think it will take before you can use this kind of assistance?" Is the device talking?"

Hawking suffered from Lou Gehrig's disease a long time ago, and he was paralyzed and unable to speak. What Hawking said to Li Daniu just now was through his facial muscles shaking, controlling the auxiliary equipment on the wheelchair, and making electronically synthesized sounds. And with the seriousness of his illness in the past two years, he may lose this ability at any time, and he will no longer be able to speak.

"Since you know this, why are you still willing to invite me to New Tuvalu?" Hawking's IQ is undoubtedly very high. Compared with his assistant's dissatisfaction with Li Daniu at this time, his mentality is very Peace, otherwise, it would be impossible to write world famous works such as a brief history of time while suffering from such an illness.

Li Daniu laughed and said: "Of course it is because I hope you can become the honorary dean of the Department of Physics of the New Tuvalu Royal Academy."

Hawking said: "What kind of help can a paralyzed person who cannot speak or move provide to the New Tuvalu Royal Academy?"

"I heard you like to gamble?" Li Daniu asked back.

It’s no secret that Hawking likes to bet. The three most famous ones are about being able to discover the “God Particle”, one about the existence of black holes, and one about the existence of naked singularities.

In these three bets in the physics academic circles, in fact, Hawking lost two, the "God Particle" was discovered, and the naked singularity existed.

For Li Daniu, neither the God particle nor the naked singularity has much to do with him, and he doesn't understand it at all. However, as long as he knows that Hawking likes to bet against each other, he will be willing to admit defeat.

If Hawking could control his facial expressions, he would definitely show a smile at this time. He said, "It depends on what you are going to bet with me."

"Have you heard of brainwave control devices?"

"I've heard of it, but at least within ten years, there won't be a mature product coming out." When Hawking said this, he was very excited, because he had already guessed what Li Daniu was going to say next.

Li Daniu looked at the expressionless Hawking, but what he thought in his heart was that if Hawking was allowed to conduct business negotiations, then no matter how powerful a psychologist was, it would be impossible to analyze Hawking's inner activities.

"If I can develop a mature brain wave control device, then you will go to New Tuvalu for a permanent residency and serve as the honorary dean and part-time lecturer of the Department of Physics of the New Tuvalu Royal Academy."

Hawking still said blankly: "How can you be considered mature?"

Li Daniu said confidently: "It allows you to control the movement of the wheelchair through brain waves, and to speak and input through the device."

After Hawking was silent for a while, the electronic tone sounded again.

"make a deal!"

Hawking did not ask for time, and Li Daniu also did not say how long he would need. Because for Hawking, he doesn't know how long he can live. According to his understanding of the research progress of brain wave equipment in some scientific research institutions, ten years is only a minimum. And ten years later, is he still alive?

After parting with Hawking, Li Daniu visited some academic leaders of Cambridge University one after another. For those who are very talented in education, Li Daniu used generous treatment to lure them. For those who are devoted to academic research, Li Daniu uses sufficient research funds to attract them.

After finishing the trip to Cambridge University, Li Daniu left Cambridge University and set off for Oxford University under the hateful and expectant eyes of the leaders of Cambridge University.

The hatred is naturally due to the sudden increase in the number of faculty members who have applied for resignation in the past few days, and the expectation, naturally, is the hope that Li Daniu can replicate his behavior at Cambridge University in Oxford University.

After five days of busy work in the UK, Li Daniu returned to New Tuvalu, and after handing over the harvest list and the conditions for negotiating with others to Castro, he buried himself in his laboratory .

Brain wave control equipment, in the interstellar era, is actually not a high-end technology, and has never occupied the mainstream in terms of development.

All intelligent life, after possessing thoughts, will inevitably have various thoughts, and these thoughts, which cannot be controlled subjectively at all, will create various technical obstacles to the brain wave control technology.

Take human beings as an example, when they say the meaning of "go forward" in their minds, can they guarantee that the meaning of "go backward" will not appear suddenly?

Human beings can control their bodies to keep going forward according to their own goals But they absolutely can't control it, and the idea of ​​walking backwards appears in their minds.

Even if there is a so-called eminent monk who can control the clarity of his spiritual platform, how can such a person need brain wave control equipment?

Under such preconditions, Li Daniu is not at all worried that the technology he is about to invent will be the same as the previous technology, which will make the world jealous.

Moreover, the brain wave control equipment he prepared for Hawking is extremely simplified in terms of function. Apart from being a great boon for paralyzed patients, it has little practical significance for normal human beings. The king who can cross: www.*anfuheng.c

After making a brain wave control device in three days, Li Daniu did not leave the laboratory, because his goal was not just Hawking alone.

A deleted formula for strengthening potions, a few pieces of code in Ultron's smart module, a simplified drawing of the super-powered engine, the design concept of the Ark reactor...

Even if Li Daniu made all kinds of deletions and disguises on the things he was about to present, no one on earth could even make substantial progress through these things. He also believes that these things can attract all those big names to his new Tuvalu Royal Academy.

And after these people have successfully settled in the New Tuvalu Royal Academy, do they still need to worry about the source of students?

Li Daniu even thought about how these students who came to study should stay in New Tuvalu for scientific research or even start a business when they graduate.

"Ao Chuang, help me record a scene."

After instructing Ultron, Li Daniu sat on a special wheelchair prepared for Hawking that could perfectly integrate with brain wave equipment.
