Maybe everyone is not as complicated as Zhou Shi thought, but after the official start of communication, Zhou Shi's level of knowledge also began to conquer everyone.

"What does Mr. Lei mean by "dimensionality reduction strike"?" Da Liu took the initiative to ask Lei Jun not long after everyone communicated.

"Let Zhou Shi explain, he has been advocating dimensionality reduction strikes in front of everyone countless times. "Lei Jun

Everyone also looked at Zhou Shi with Lei Jun's words.

"I also got inspiration from "The Three-Body Problem", Da Liu doesn't have similar ideas?" Zhou Shi also didn't know which part of the three-body problem the two-way foil appeared in.

"No, after I write it, it's not me alone, everyone can have their own understanding. "Da Liu

"The dimensionality reduction strike I am talking about is to reduce the spatial dimension of the target itself, so that the target cannot survive in the low-dimensional space and destroy the target. "Zhou Shi

In fact, the two-way foil appeared in the third part of the three-body problem, the Grim Reaper, and at this time, the second part of Da Liu was preparing to be published, maybe the third part had not yet begun to be conceived. Zhou Shi didn't like many things such as Da Liu's philosophical outlook in the Three-Body Problem, and even Da Liu's classic Dark Forest Law didn't recognize it, because he watched it early, so he didn't remember when the dimensionality reduction blow appeared. At this time, when he heard Da Liu's words, he also knew that he might not have thought of such an ultimate weapon as the two-way foil!

"It's an interesting idea, you tell me about it. Liu Chengshu

"The starting point of my consideration is different from yours, and it may not be of much reference value to you. Zhou Shi said modestly.

"How did you come up with this idea?"

"When I first learned about the Internet and IT industries, I had a deep fear of Microsoft and Intel, and I thought that it was impossible to defeat the alliance of these two companies in China anyway. But with my in-depth understanding and practice in the Internet industry, I have more ideas. We don't have to compete directly with them to defeat them. The continuous evolution of this kind of thinking has become the current dimensionality reduction attack. Zhou Shi thought of an incomparably lofty reason for himself.

"How is it possible to beat Microsoft and Intel. As a science and engineering man, Da Liu is not optimistic about Zhou Shi's ideas.

"The dream still has to be there, if it comes true! And I'm not talking about beating their companies, I'm talking about beating their operating systems and processors. Microsoft and Intel have too much cash, entrepreneurs are very capable, they can make adjustments at any time, and I don't know what Microsoft will be like in ten years?"

"It's still incredible, Mr. Lei also believes in this possibility?"

"I believe in Zhou Shi's ability, he was born to create miracles. "Lei Jun

Zhou Shi also felt a fever in his cheeks for these almost flattering words. He didn't have this confidence in himself, but he had seen this trend in his previous life.

"I can briefly explain my idea of defeating Microsoft, in fact, this idea was originally inspired by Netscape Browser, the birth of this browser let everyone see the hope of breaking Microsoft's monopoly, although Netscape failed, but his idea did not fail. With the development of IT technology and the improvement of network conditions, we can move all software operation functions to the Internet in the future. Whether it's movies, music, games, instant messaging, business office, social shopping. We can all do it on the internet through a browser. If this Internet is accessible anytime, anywhere, and its cost is extremely low, then the role of the operating system will be infinitely weakened. We can develop our own operating system with our own CPUs, thus freeing ourselves from the limitations of Microsoft and Intel. After Zhou Shi finished speaking, he looked at everyone, Lei Jun was thoughtful, and the others, including Da Liu, were confused.

"My idea is simply cloud computing, moving all the work that a PC can do now to the cloud. This cloud could be a cluster of our hundreds of thousands of computers. In the future, you can control our cluster computers from a terminal to solve your own problems. "Zhou Shi

"Okay! That's a great idea. "Lei Jun

Looking at the others again, Da Liu seemed to understand a little, but the other people in the magazine still didn't seem to understand, and Zhou Shi didn't want to explain anymore.

"But this kind of design wants to make a lot of money, and it takes a lot of money. If we don't have the courage to invest a billion a year and stick to investing ten years without any results, we may not see any hope. Perhaps it was a Don Quixote war. "Zhou Shi

"It seems to be very difficult. Lei Jun thought for a while and said

"I've spoken to Robin Lee and Maali many times, but they haven't acted. On the contrary, Amazon's Bezos has already begun to try to ......" Zhou Shi

"So you sold YouTube to Bezos?"

"Well, a big part of that is why. "Zhou Shi

"Aren't you afraid of failure and have nothing?"

"This is not good in China, I only like to judge heroes by success or failure, what is wrong with failure, is this not very normal? The success rate of entrepreneurship is only about 1 percent. "Zhou Shi

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about science fiction, I originally thought that "Science Fiction World" was the largest science fiction magazine in the country, and it should be very big, but why did we find that our business seems to be very difficult when we get here?" Zhou Shi

"In recent years, the market has become worse and worse, although we only sold 2 million copies last year, we are still the world's sales champion of similar periodicals," Liu Chengshu

"Then your income should be good, is it the system problem that makes you ......" Zhou Shi saw their poor office environment, and thought they couldn't do it, but he didn't expect it to be so awesome now.

"The same cannot be said about it, in previous years, we had a maximum monthly sales of more than 400,000 copies, but with the development of the Internet, it became more and more difficult to do so. "Qin Li

"Why is it so difficult to sell so much?" Zhou Shi was puzzled

"Da Liu, your first part is still very interesting, what is written in the second part, why is the earth facing the end of the world?"

"The second part of the three-body problem is ready to be published, and the earth will face the end mainly because of the law of the dark forest: the universe is a dark forest, and every civilization is a hunter with a gun, and once it is discovered, only one party can survive, or none of them can survive. ”

"The Law of the Dark Forest, is it really like this in the cosmic society?"

We can see a lot from history, especially the history of the beginning of the Age of Discovery: the slaughtered Indians, the destroyed Inca Empire, the colonized New World, the genocide in South America, the slave trade in Africa, the Opium War in China, all of which give a clear answer, the world is a "dark forest", whether the advanced civilization is holding the Bible or the musket, they are all ill-intentioned towards the backward civilization. ”
