Chapter 6: Strange Paul

On the east coast of the rice country, near the end of the Atlantic Ocean, it is one of the most beautiful coastlines in the entire Blue Star landscape, and unlike the west coast where Professor Tao is located, the water close to the Atlantic Ocean here seems to be clearer than the Pacific Ocean, and due to the influence of Blue Star's autobiography, as well as the salinity of the sea water and other factors, the water surface of the Pacific Ocean is much higher than the Atlantic Ocean.

Perhaps that's why the sand on the East Coast is finer and whiter, and of course, the hurricanes on the East Coast are wilder.

The Hunter Heavy rocket is scheduled to launch this afternoon, and at noon, if a good do-good person points a satellite at the coastal road to Cape Calaverare, a small SUV that looks like a Tesla del is hurtling down the road.

Let's zoom in and zoom in closer, and we will be surprised to find that this SUV with a speed of 200 kilometers per hour is actually empty behind the steering wheel.

Inside the SUV is a familiar melody, and coincidentally, this is not only Wang Yinan, but also Musk's favorite.

"You're not a normal retail version of the del, I feel like the acceleration of 100 kilometers is less than four seconds", Wang Yinan, who was pale, sat in the back row, and unconsciously tightened the handle close to the top of the door, and couldn't help but ask.

"NNN", Musk, who was as comfortable as lying on a sun lounger by the pool in his backyard, shook his head, "This is the standard retail version of DEL",

In Wang Yinan's eyes in disbelief, Musk calmly added, "The hardware is exactly the same, but the software system is the latest version being tested."

"Remove all the performance limitations", Musk said,

"Of course, Level 4 autonomous driving functions have also been opened."

Wang Yinan shook his head, "You don't fool me, the existing hardware equipment, computing power can't support the amount of artificial intelligence computing required by level4",

"How is it possible for a normal retail version to achieve full self-driving".

After not hearing an answer for a while, Wang Yinan turned his head to look and saw Musk half-lying in the back seat of the SUV with his eyes closed, gently stepping on the floor with the beat of the music.

"You're wrong", after a while, Musk's faint voice came from the side, "The processing power of the main control Tegra chip used by Del is more than enough to achieve Level 4 autonomous driving",

In Wang Yinan's puzzled eyes, Musk exposed the true colors of a capitalist, "The version we sell, Tegra chips are all used for frequency reduction",

"With a fee-based online upgrade, we will gradually increase the frequency of Tegra's operation."

Wang Yinan opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't close it for a long time, it turned out that in addition to overclocking, there was also frequency reduction, and it turned out that frequency reduction could be used to make money in addition to reducing power consumption, it turned out that I was still too naïve.

Well, Wang Yinan feels that compared to the guy sitting next to him, he is as pure and flawless as a good baby in kindergarten.

However, the Gödel system should be familiar with dealing with autonomous driving, and the only problem is the large amount of data required for training, which is where Musk is ahead of other driverless competitors.

"Is it possible to work with the manufacturers of dash cams and get a lot of raw driving data from them?"

Wang Yinan closed his eyes and recuperated while pondering how to dig Musk's corner, it seems that he has learned quickly, and from this moment on, he is already a qualified capitalist.

When the butterfly-shaped door opened automatically, Wang Yinan looked up and saw a big guy standing on the launch stand in the distance, the milky white slender main arrow body and two equally huge boosters shining in the midday sun.

The Hunter Heavy rocket used twenty-seven engines, except for the N-rocket of the woolly bear, this is the rocket with the most engines, the N-guy used a full thirty engines, of course, the end of the N-was very miserable, the launch was not a success, and finally ended hastily.

The development of science and technology always makes the technical solution spiral forward in the negation and negation of negation, for N-, 30 engines caused by 30 fault sources, making the whole rocket reliable work is an impossible task.

But for hunters, advances in modern industry and standardization have made it possible for 27 engines to be backed up by each other, and satellites can still be sent into space in the event of a failure of one or two.

"What's the matter, cool or not", Musk walked around from the back of the car, although it was not the first time he saw this big guy, he still stopped to admire it for a long time, and said to Wang Yinan proudly.

"It's so cool", Wang Yinan nodded, "The crystallization of human industrial ability is also impeccable aesthetically."

"The carrying capacity of the Hunter is twice that of the previous Delta Heavy rocket, and the cost is only half of it", Musk pointed to the big guy in the distance and said proudly to Wang Yinan,

"This thing can send a 7-ton spacecraft to Mars",

"It's just that only one-way tickets are on sale now", Musk introduced, his eyes couldn't help but show a fanatical look, it seems that this guy really wants to immigrate to Mars.

"If you want to build a permanent base on Mars, this carrying capacity is still far from enough," Wang Yinan said.

Musk doesn't seem to hear the question, "Our Mars base is already being designed, and through the construction of a self-sufficient ecosystem, we will be able to achieve the operation of the Martian ecosystem in a few years",

"It's just that nuclear power is a trouble, after all, nuclear power is mainly the technology of the military, and there are still many problems in civilian use",

"Of course, a larger, newer Hunter rocket is also planned", this realistic version of Iron Man turned around and faced Wang Yinan,

"Maybe Callistto is a good target, NASA says they found water on Callisto, what do you think?" ,

"I think from Ganymede, Jupiter's rings must be very beautiful", Wang Yinan did not answer Musk's question, however, as a guy who definitely does not lack dreams, Wang Yinan feels that he must board Ganymede before this nasty guy in front of him.

"Mars will be given to you for the time being, and Ganymede is mine," Wang Yinan said to himself in his heart.

The control center was already full of people, and since this was the first launch of the Hunter Heavy rocket, NASA sent a large team of visitors, and delegations from the Europa Space Agency, the Sun Country Space Agency, and of course, the Big Fur and the Rabbit family also arrived early.

In the VIP room, Wang Yinan saw an acquaintance, "Professor Wang, I see you again", a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking very capable walked over,

As if sensing Wang Yinan's puzzled eyes, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "My name is Paul, and I am the president's scientific representative, and I just met him at the Hexagon."

Wang Yinan, who was face blind, finally remembered, as if this guy's scientific literacy was very good, "I think about it, Mr. Paul's scientific level is great, I don't know which school I graduated from before."

"I got my Ph.D. in biology at IT," Paul says, "and then got my second Ph.D. in economics at Harvard."

As an undergraduate, Wang Yinan can't wait to give himself a mouthful, "make you owe".

"Paul's name reminds me of a person", in order to resolve his full embarrassment, Wang Yinan had to change the topic bluntly,

"You're talking about Dr. Paul, who came up with the Paul incompatibility principle, my great-great-grandfather."

Wang Yinan shut his mouth, he didn't ease his mind for a long time, to be honest, it was really enough to meet such a master who could talk about the sky to death.

"I've read Mr. Wang's paper, G-Indescribable Theorem", when Wang Yinan didn't want to pay attention to this guy, Paul took the initiative to provoke the topic.

"Hmm", not knowing his intentions, Wang Yinan just nodded.

"I don't know what Professor Wang's views are on the existence of God," Paul said, "Judging from Mr. Wang's paper, it seems to have some theological flavor."

What did this guy want to say, Wang Yinan muttered in his heart, "God, I don't think there is direct evidence to prove that it exists, and of course, there is no clear evidence that it doesn't exist", I don't know Paul's intentions, Wang Yinan had to say an absolutely correct nonsense.

"Interesting", Paul didn't hear the perfunctory meaning in Wang Yinan's words,

"Don't Mr. Wang think that your theorem proves the existence of God to some extent?" ,

"This, how come I don't know", Wang Yinan dared to swear, he absolutely did not mean this, he looked at Paul, waiting for his further explanation.

"Mr. Wang's theorem proves that there are fundamental limitations of human intelligence in the realm of logic, or in the realm of science, don't you think that these limitations can only belong to the omniscient and all-powerful God?" , Paul said.

It is said that the end of science is theology, and it is said that in the West, where modern science and technology are highly developed, because of the problem of faith and cultural traditions, people who believe in God occupy a larger proportion of the highly educated population, and it is said that many Westerners believe that the earth is flat...

Wang Yinan finally understood this, but as the president's scientific adviser, there shouldn't be such a clear inclination, Wang Yinan's heart was full of doubts.

"Grothendieck and my paper only proved the limitations of formal systems", Wang Yinan did not want his paper to be interpreted in this way.

"So neither the existence of God nor the existence of God can be proved", the sharp-eyed Wang Yinan found a cross on Paul's tie clip, however, the appearance of this cross is a bit strange, the usual crosses are very simple metal pendants, but on the cross on Paul's chest, there seems to be a small statue.

It was as if the crucifixion was hanging on the cross.

As if noticing Wang Yinan's gaze, Paul turned around and coughed twice, and when he turned around again, there was nothing to see on the tie clip.

Behind Paul is a large floor-to-ceiling window, from which the Hunter Heavy rocket is standing quietly on the launch stand, performing the final inspection before launch.

Modern engine technology is completely different from what it was back then, and before launch, the engine will even undergo low-power operation experiments, so as to expose all the hidden dangers as much as possible, which is also where Musk's confidence in reusing rocket engines many times lies.

"Looks cool, isn't it?", Paul turned around with Wang Yinan's gaze, looking at the milky white rocket, Paul said,

"Yes, it's really a masterpiece of modern technology," Wang Yinan sighed.

"The tentacles of human beings have gone deep into space, and Musk even wants to use this thing to land on Mars", Paul's voice was very low, and Wang Yinan couldn't really hear it.

"But how can God Almighty allow mortals to constantly encroach on the territory that belongs to him",

"Mortals ... To "God". attribution",

Wang Yinan couldn't hear what Paul was saying at all, he thought this guy had a bad brain,

Well, the president seems to be nice to me, and he borrowed a car from me, shouldn't I find a chance to tell him that his scientific representative has a water in his brain, Wang Yinan began to muttered in his heart.

Soon, Musk came over, he took Wang Yinan to know several big bulls of Spaey, Wang Yinan left this strange Paul behind, although it is unlikely to dig up Spaey's big bulls, but you can always ask something.
