505 Ash's second test flight

Everyone's definition of happiness is different.

For example, Wang Yufei's definition of happiness will most likely not be to live a life of a local tyrant that everyone admires.

You need a luxury car to travel, you need a private jet when you go out, you have to take your own private yacht to a party in the depths of the ocean when you are bored, you have to drink red wine in 82 or Romanicon in 97, and the beauties around you have to have long legs......

This is probably what makes Wang Yufei very helpless.

His body may have evolved, but it has little effect on taste buds and touch, which prevents him from perceiving the world more clearly and layeredly.

In other words, Wang Yufei has little interest in pure enjoyment of life.

For the requirements of life, he still stays at the rather simple requirement of being able to eat enough meat every day to get enough protein and nutrients.

As for the spiritual needs of private life......

With Lu Yuxin, it is enough.

Not only can we accompany each other in life, but we can also help in my career, which is already perfect.

Compared with John Martines, Wang Yufei feels very happy.

He is also willing to share his happiness with John Martines, don't think crookedly, it is the happiness of career progress, Wang Yufei also firmly believes that the temptation of academics must be very useful for a pure scientific research man like John Martinis.

......

"This can't be, how can it be? There are so many technical problems that have not yet been solved, why can their quantum computer already be used to find Mersenne primes?" John Martinis muttered to himself, not caring at all that he was still holding the phone, and what he thought was a small voice clearly reached Wang Yufei's ears through various devices.

"Of course it's possible! I have solved three of the seven equations for the third constant, and if you are willing to come to Huaxia, I can tell you how to solve them. Then we work together to solve the remaining four equations. Wang Yufei said simply.

"What? Of the seven equations, you've solved three, which three?"

"First, second, and fourth!"

Wang Yufei has not ranked the order of the seven equations, but when the academic community cites the third constant conjecture, it has defaulted to naming the third constant and the Xth equation according to the order of the seven equations published by Wang Yufei on Weibo, so Wang Yufei also described the equations he wrote down in a conventional order.

Although he was the first to propose these equations, the intellectual property rights of these equations now belong to all mankind. Of course, the solution is not yet.

"Electron constants, the trajectory of charged particles and the decay of atomic nuclei?"

Apparently John Martines had studied the seven equations of the third constant conjecture in depth, and blurted out the problem that three equations could solve.

"It's not quite accurate, but it's pretty much the same. So are you interested?"

"What are your interests? do you mean to go to Huaxia to apprentice with you?" asked John Martinis at once.

"Huh?"

Wang Yufei was stunned, and was about to deny this, but John Martinis on the other end of the phone said happily: "Yes, I am very interested. But for some reason, I can't go to China for this reason, let me think, is there a relatively heavyweight world physics conference in China recently?"

This question is very good, Wang Yufei thought about it and replied: "I don't know much about this. But my alma mater, Huaqing University, can hold a conference on the world's third constant conjecture next week, do you think the conference is sufficient? In addition to you, we can also invite some physicists and professors from other universities to attend, what do you think?"

"Very good, I will be able to catch up next weekend, if you can get the school to send me the e-invitation letter today, I can go and get the visa today." Then go and book a plane ticket and look forward to learning from you. ”

John Martinis's humility and politeness made Wang Yufei feel ashamed, but even so, he reminded: "Mr. Martinis, I appreciate your trust in me, but I may not have made it too clear just now. Although I welcome you to come, if you don't want to join my company after visiting our Quantum Intelligence Brain, I won't tell you the solution of the three equations directly. ”

"I know, I understand, you still have competition with Google, and before I decide to join Google, of course, it is impossible to tell my former employees of this competitor about key technical information. But I can't promise you anything now, I have to go to China and we'll talk about it after I've been there, okay?" replied John Martinis.

"Of course, that's exactly what I mean, so I'm looking forward to your trip to China, and I'd like to welcome you on behalf of the Yuxin Technology Quantum Intelligence Brain Research Group. ”

"Thank you, thank you, I have a hunch that this must be a perfect trip. Well, I'm waiting for an invitation from your school, which can be sent directly to me through the school's mailbox, address and I'll send you a message, thank you very much!"

......

The communication with John Martinis was smoother than expected, and the advice given to him by the other party made Wang Yufei feel more possibilities.

A world-class academic seminar?

It's interesting to say.

As for hosting a world-class university conference next week......

Well, that's not something Wang Yufei needs to think about.

In the name of the third constant conjecture, it is not too much of a problem.

After hanging up John Martinis's phone, Wang Yufei called Gao Deyuan.

Although this matter has little to do with Lao Gao, who studies neuroscience, Gao Deyuan naturally knows who to find better than him about this kind of thing. Whether to directly find a reason to start a meeting, or go through a process, someone will understand.

Everything is under control.

......

It turns out that things that give most people a long face and don't cost money are always moving fast.

During this period, Huaqing officials called Wang Yufei once, and roughly inquired about the specifications of the meeting and the general content of the speech at the meeting, and immediately pushed forward. However, it is obvious that both Wang Yufei and John Martinez think that the preparation of such a large-scale international academic conference is too simple, especially under the premise that some situations are difficult to explain.

The meeting was scheduled for half a month later.

This is still the result of Wang Yufei's arguments, and Huaqing originally hoped to have two to three months to prepare.

Because scientists all over the world are very busy, generally speaking, this kind of large-scale international academic conference is set in advance, and then an invitation letter is sent to facilitate the time arrangement of the participating scientists. Twelve Literary Network

After all, Huaxia First University also has to be ranked.

If it is a world physics conference, if there are not a few big names to attend, what is it called a world conference?

Well, this reason makes Wang Yufei helpless.

In fact, it is not a big problem whether other people come or not, and the people he wants to recruit are over.

But there are such and such troubles in recruiting people across borders.

I had to communicate with John Martinis again and explain the situation.

Of course, the whole team of Quantum Intelligence Brain can't wait for John Martinis, and all the work continues to go according to schedule.

Last time, it was about an hour after running for Xiaozhi, and the calculation was already unstable, but there was still a result that could not be calculated, so Wang Yufei did not stop the task, but chose to continue data analysis.

In this way, he obtained three Mersenne primes before the end, and also roughly understood Ash's limit running time.

After spending about two weeks to improve the underlying design, the team soon ushered in the second test of the Quantum Brain.

The goal this time is for Ash's computing power to run smoothly for three hours.

If it can't be achieved, Wang Yufei feels that he is too ashamed of Lu Yuxin and Shi Xulin.

After all, the two of them are still undergraduates, and in order to ensure the progress of the laboratory tasks, the two of them have not attended a few classes in the past two months.

Wang Yufei naturally will not continue to waste his brain to arrange other computing tasks for the sake of the test machine, so he still calculates Mersen primes.

However, because the stability test time was set at three hours, in order not to be hungry, the test was set at half past one in the afternoon.

After lunch, all the staff were in place, and Wang Yufei once again entered the command to officially start Xiaozhi and start the test machine.

As usual, there were only Wang Yufei and Lu Yuxin in the operation room, and most of the others were distributed in the corridors on the third basement floor, watching Xiao Zhi start in a scattered manner, and watching the lights representing the operation begin to flicker.

......

"When will I install other I/O devices for Ash?"

In the operation room, Lu Yuxin asked questions that everyone was curious about.

The current input and output devices of the Quantum Intelligence Brain only have a keyboard and a large screen, which in the eyes of most people obviously does not match Ash's identity.

Not to mention those virtual screens in science fiction movies, at least you have to get one for voice input and output, right?

In this way, when everyone is fine, they can still chat with Ash or something.

"This is not in a hurry, the weak operating state in the non-computing environment, Ash doesn't have too many other functions, at least I have to wait for it to be able to calculate stably, and I'm considering other external devices. And don't you think you have to have the most advanced I/O equipment to be worthy of our Ash?"

The second test was obviously not as formal as the first time, Wang Yufei chatted with Lu Yuxin, and casually completed the input of the calculation task.

It's not challenging, it's just a continuation of the previous calculation tasks, and the orders have already been arranged.

"You mean, Ash's goal is to be able to run autonomously for a long time in the future, twenty-four hours a day?" Lu Yuxin asked, holding his cheeks.

It's not challenging to run for a few hours, but it's hard to keep the Quantum Brain running for years like a classical computer.

The operation of the quantum intelligent brain follows the basic logic of quantum physics, and the logic of quantum motion seems to be too unknown at present.

"Believe in yourself, we can. Wang Yufei said with a smile.

He is still very confident that Ash's completed state will become a universal and sustainable quantum brain.

"Will Ash's final form be a strong AI that hasn't yet appeared in the world? I see that you seem to have been studying the learning aspects of strong AI lately. Lu Yuxin asked again.

This is also the most discussed topic in private.

As the saying goes, do a line and love a line.

There is nothing to say about the treatment of Yuxin Technology, and it is impossible to be busy in the laboratory all the time, so the team members spontaneously use various idle events to enrich their knowledge base.

At present, except for Lu Yuxin and Shi Xulin, who are still undergraduates, the others are all prospective doctoral students, who have either graduated with a doctorate or are studying for a doctorate, so their learning ability naturally has nothing to say.

Even though I didn't major in physics before, after such a long period of research, I have a deep understanding of most of what I am doing, and I have a clear understanding of the capabilities of quantum computers.

In fact, quantum computers are the hardware base that is most likely to produce artificial intelligence. After all, as a new computing system, quantum computers do not only recognize the two numbers 0 and 1, but are in a superposition state of 0 and 1 at the same time. And when there is no increase in information, it is in a mixed state.

Therefore, its intelligence is also one of the directions of future development.

"Of course, there's a big probability. However, the strong artificial intelligence I am researching is not so that Ash can talk like a human, but I hope that it can make the right decisions as quickly as possible when dealing with complex problems. For example, if Ash is ordered to control the traffic light system of a city or even the whole country in the future, this is a more complex system. There may be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of decisions every second, and this is where strong intelligence is needed. Wang Yufei explained.

"Command traffic?" Lu Yuxin was stunned, she really didn't expect that Wang Yufei had been researching strong artificial intelligence algorithms recently, and it turned out to be such a goal.

"Of course, it's not just directing traffic, but also a variety of environments that require complex judgment. For example, geological exploration, deep-sea exploration, weather forecasting, and even earthquake forecasting, etc., after having Xiaozhi, you must always maximize its utilization efficiency. Many environments require its intelligent judgment, after all, for humans, there is an upper limit to the information it can accept at the same time, but for Ash, its acceptance of information is only limited by the speed of information transmission. ”

"Understood!" Lu Yuxin nodded and sighed, "I really don't know how your brain grows." ”

"Huh?" Wang Yufei glanced at Lu Yuxin in surprise, not understanding why the girl suddenly let out such an exclamation.

"Others don't know, don't I know yet? Ash, starting from the design on the drawings, you all contributed to it. There are more than 20 people in the whole project, and they all play a supporting role. Quantum computers, how many people have studied the technology for many years, and you can surpass all of Ash's current companions in just a few months. Whew......"

Lu Yuxin let out a sigh, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Well, we'll consider this question later, let's let Ash really come out first. ”
