Chapter 99: Advances in Sleep Research (Part 3)
The next day, the most famous television program in the United States, "The Ellen Show", made a special program on Xingtu Technology's massive acquisition of sleep and brainwave synchronization technology patents.

"Now, please welcome Professor Jacobs from Harvard Medical School."

As the host Allen spoke, Professor Jacobs slowly walked onto the stage.

At this time, the screen also showed Professor Jacobs' identity and brief resume.

Professor Jacobs, Ph.D. from Harvard Medical School, is an expert in the field of sleep and deep sleep.

He had studied human relaxation therapy in his early years and applied it to the treatment of insomnia. His non-drug therapy had amazing effects on insomnia users in practice.

"Professor Jacobs, what do you think is the purpose of Xingtu Technology's recent large-scale purchase of patents for sleep and brainwave synchronization technologies?"

The host Ai Lun asked his question directly, and this question is also of concern to many viewers in front of the TV.

During this period, as Xingtu Technology has been aggressively acquiring patents for sleep and brainwave synchronization technologies, netizens in the Internet technology circle have speculated a lot about Xingtu Technology's plans.

Some people speculate that Xingtu Technology's purpose in acquiring a large number of sleep and brainwave synchronization technology patents is to develop a brainwave thought controller to achieve its evil purpose of controlling the thinking of all mankind.

Some people speculate that the purpose of Xingtu Technology's acquisition of so many technical patents is to develop a brain wave thought decryption device, from now on, human thoughts will no longer be kept secret.

Of course, some people guessed the goal directly, thinking that Xingtu Technology wanted to develop a sleep aid or a deep sleep aid.

"According to my guess, Xingtu Technology should want to enter the field of sleep aids. They probably want to develop a device that helps people fall asleep quickly or enter deep sleep."

Professor Jacobs expressed his opinion, and some people agreed with it while others disagreed, but none of them could influence Professor Jacobs on TV.

"Professor Jacobs, why do you think Xingtu Technology wants to develop equipment to assist people in rapid or deep sleep?"

Host Allen asked his words.

"Of course, it's based on the technology patents they acquired. Of these, there's no need to mention the patents for sleep technology. Let's take the brainwave synchronization technology that you're relatively unfamiliar with, for example.

The so-called brainwave synchronization technology analyzes the EEG data to determine the individual's current brainwave pattern.

Then the technique of regulating the individual's brain wave patterns is developed through the use of external stimuli such as sound, light, smell, etc., or internal stimuli such as meditation, breathing rhythm, etc.

This type of technology does have a certain effect at present, allowing users to fall asleep quickly and even prolong deep sleep time, but in fact it is impossible to popularize it on a large scale. "

"Oh?"

After hearing Professor Jacobs' words, not only the host was curious, but the audience in front of the TV were also curious and wanted to know why it was not possible to popularize it on a large scale.

"Because according to the current technological level of mankind, the relevant equipment will only be effective if the user actively cooperates.

For example, users are required to maintain a specific breathing rhythm and meditation method, otherwise relying solely on the instrument is useless.

Therefore, if you want users to fall asleep quickly or even prolong their deep sleep, this requires a lot of practice.

This practice usually takes between a few days and one or two weeks. The learning time varies according to each person's talent and learning ability.

However, such equipment that assists people in sleeping or even deep sleep is often very expensive, usually costing thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. It is bulky and the actual effect is not very obvious.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if the industry of instruments that help users to speed up sleep and prolong deep sleep could develop, so I am not optimistic about Xingtu Technology. "

At this point, Professor Jacobs remembered that he had received an invitation fee from the "Ellen Show" program team. In order for the program team to achieve amazing ratings, he needed to make some controversial news, so he shrugged and smiled:

“I heard that when they acquire technology patents, they usually spend several times or even ten times the price to buy technology patents in order to quickly produce results. I think this is a stupid behavior.

After all, whether in the United States or in other countries around the world, we have been researching and developing ways to help people fall asleep quickly or even prolong deep sleep for decades or even hundreds of years.

But we still haven't achieved any great results so far, and the only research results are not yet widely available.

After all, the equipment is expensive and requires users to practice on their own. In the end, the actual improvement effect is weak and almost unnoticeable. In this case, even if Xingtu Technology is willing to spend a lot of money to purchase patents and R&D technologies, it is unlikely to achieve a major breakthrough. "

After saying this, feeling that this statement might not be controversial enough to significantly increase the ratings, Professor Jacobs continued;

“In the next few months or half a year, Xingtu Technology may launch their sleep aid device.

Personally, I don’t recommend that you try to buy it, especially the better the effect they advertise, the more you should not believe it, so as not to be cheated.

After all, if you just think about it, there are so many professors in so many countries around the world.

They have been developing methods and equipment to help people fall asleep quickly and prolong deep sleep for many years, but the results are not widely available.

It is impossible for a small township enterprise in Daxia to achieve any major breakthrough results. Just remember this and you won’t be fooled.”

Hearing Professor Jacobs' well-intentioned advice, the audience applauded enthusiastically and cheered for Professor Jacobs.

Professor Jacobs' words really woke people up.

Xingtu Technology's instrument product that helps people fall asleep quickly or prolong deep sleep has not yet been released, and may not even have been officially launched for research and development.

But after hearing what Professor Jacobs said, they became more vigilant, and many people avoided the trap invisibly. Professor Jacobs is really a good person.

However, he is a good person and I am a bad person. In the following period, as relevant domestic and foreign media reprinted Professor Jacobs' views and conclusions, Lin Feng was very angry.

This damn Professor Jacobs has no evidence at all, but he claims that other people's products are not good based on past experience. Is this guy really a professor at Harvard Medical School?
And isn’t technology meant to break things?
Just because it wasn’t possible in the past decades doesn’t mean it can’t be done now.

Decades ago, who could have imagined something as powerful as a smartphone? Who could have imagined that computers would develop to the level they are today?

But netizens don’t think so much. They usually don’t use their brains to think about the reasons behind it. They only look at who the other person is.

If the speaker is a well-known professor or a big shot, they will instinctively trust and approve of what the speaker says.

Therefore, Professor Jacobs' words successfully gained the recognition of many people, creating a huge hidden danger for Lin Feng's plan of turning a falsehood into reality.

Although there is no news about Professor Jacobs' remarks on Twitter, Weibo, YouTube, Bilibili, and Douyin.

But other Internet news media, TV stations or newspapers ignored Raymond Lam and still reported news that was quite bad for him.

Fortunately, the deep sleep aid device will not be launched immediately. It will take some time before it can be officially launched, about a month.

A month later, the news about this incident had cooled down, and given that netizens only had a memory of a few days, Professor Jacobs' remarks would naturally be forgotten.

Of course, he couldn't allow others to discredit him at will, so he published an article on Weibo and Twitter, pointing out how ridiculous Professor Jacobs' groundless speculation was.

Raymond Lam said that the so-called inability to do something is meant to be broken!
Just as who could have imagined decades ago that computers would be so advanced and powerful, who could have imagined that smartphones would be so magical.

Naturally, these remarks were recognized by many Chinese people. Many people praised Lin Feng's words and recognized that technology is used to break the impossible!

Of course, there is a saying that goes, when you are unlucky, please believe that this is a sign that good luck is coming.

The deep sleep device had not yet been released, but unfortunately it encountered a public opinion crisis.

When the plan of turning a falsehood into reality suffered a blow, a research institute in Beijing called Skynet Research Institute sent an interview invitation, which surprised Lin Feng who was negotiating with Xiaojiang UAV.

Hearing the name of the Skynet Research Institute, Lin Feng recalled that there was indeed such a research institute.

The main task of this Skynet Research Institute is to develop an efficient public security monitoring network system covering the entire Daxia.

He didn't expect that they would come to his house. Could it be that they came here because he asked Jarvis to hack into the surveillance system last time?
