The Laplace demon and Schrödinger's cat are both one of the four great beasts of physics, but this demon is much older, and its roots are in Newton's classical mechanics, describing such a corollary: in a universe constructed by Newton's classical mechanics, if a devil can know the precise position and momentum of any atom, then it can deduce everything that has happened in this universe in the past and everything that will happen in the future.

Laplace was brought to its knees by the second law of thermodynamics before the rise of quantum physics, but in the world of computational data and logic, the ghost of Laplace still roams. For example, the current Xia Ming is ready to calculate everything that has happened in a limited space and time, and play the role of a Laplace demon.

The picture stops at the moment when the truck driver slams the steering wheel, and then fluctuates like water ripples, and everyone, every metal pillar and glass window zooms in like a picture-in-picture. At the same time, the gas molecules at the scene were also as high and low as a living snake, and under Xia Ming's consciousness, the snake scales metamorphosed, restoring the trajectory of half an hour ago, and piecing together the black traces hidden in it bit by bit.

Unlike when he first observed Li Diluo's abnormality in the dormitory and detected abnormal smells, Xia Ming now analyzes thousands of visual information, each of which is refined to the extent of observing Li Diluo's pupil reflex at that time, and there may be tens of thousands of olfactory information, corresponding to the "olfactory database" accumulated by the brain in the past, looking for the special burnt smell of the tire violently rubbing the ground. At the same time, he did not forget to extract and amplify the auditory signals at the time of the accident, searching for the abnormal sound at that moment in the complex information that can be called the wave of sound waves.

In reality, the field of vision is once again glowing with blood, which is a sign of bloodshot eye congestion, and R3AI is suggesting that the brain is overfunctioning, but none of this affects the reconstructed scene in the mind.

This scene is completely composed of real materials, and it rotates freely, zooms in, and shrinks as Xia Ming's mind moves. Every angle, every detail, can be observed.

There is still some gloom in the scene, which is beyond the reach of his senses, but his focused mind is like an airbrush, which collects all kinds of indirect information, through the calculation and deduction of the brain, and paints bright colors little by little, restoring various details.

It was an extremely ordinary Hyundai Elantra, which was driving normally, but when Tang Xiaotang's off-road vehicle was parallel to the truck, the Elantra suddenly accelerated and went towards the front of the truck. When the truck crashed into the SUV, Elantra slowed down and turned into the street on the right.

Sure enough, it was premeditated, but the means were improvised.

Who is the driver!?

The process of the Elantra and other cars is just a scene calculated by synthesizing various indirect information, but Xia Ming is still not satisfied, he wants to "see" the driver of the Elantra clearly. When he zoomed in on the Elantra, there was a blurry patch of color in the window.

R3AI has another hint: "The use of the brain has reached the limit, and further computing needs to improve computing power. The second solution converts the information that was previously operated in management mode into the QNI format, which is no longer directly managed by the original architecture. Warning, this scheme will further exacerbate the compatibility problem, and the consequences are unpredictable. ”

Xia Ming chose the second option without hesitation, completely ignoring the series of changes around his consciousness, still focusing on the color block of Elantri. Gradually, the rough patches of color refreshed into lines, and finally took shape into the profile of a thin man.

This is an extremely ordinary man, and he can't distinguish features at all just by looking at the side of his face, like a portrait on an ancient wanted post. However, a series of images jumped out of Xia Ming's memory, refreshing this side face layer by layer. Originally, it was just a floor plan, but it was like a sincere dream mirror on the scene, scanning out a real three-dimensional avatar.

This man has seen it before! More than once!

Since he entered the institute, this person has met outside the institute, outside the residence, and even met in the same supermarket. At that time, he was only regarded as a passerby, but now it seems that this person has clearly monitored and investigated him.

Yang Yuanchang's monitoring of the institute is really meticulous......

Xia Ming also wanted to "see" the situation after this person turned into the street, but the blood that was originally only on the edge quickly stained the entire field of vision, and the hint of R3AI also became ethereal, and there seemed to be people around him shouting him, but it sounded so far away.

Xia Ming's eyes darkened and he fainted.

When Xia Ming woke up, he found himself lying on the hospital bed, and it was Li Diluo who was guarding the bedside.

"Naruko, you're scared me to death! Xiao Huan was also scared and cried, you were bleeding at that time! It's all up to her......"

Seeing that he woke up, Li Diluo nagged without words, what kind of little joy, Xia Ming was confused when he heard it.

found the phone, looked at the time, it was already noon, Xia Ming asked, "Where is this?" ”

"Air Force Hospital, what's wrong?" Li Diluo still looked completely confused.

"Thank you, oh, help me again Thank you Xiao Huan, I still have something urgent, go first."

Professor Xu and Tang Xiaotang were in the Naval Hospital, and Xia Ming had to see their situation first.

Li Diluo was frightened: "Hey! Naruko! You're bleeding just now! ”

"It's okay", Xia Ming's head was a little painful, but other than that, there was no problem, just now it should be that the organs of the eyes, ears and nose were driven by the brain beyond the limit, and some capillaries were burst.

Not long after Xia Ming left, a short-haired girl pushed the door in, and what she saw was an empty bed and Li Diluo with straight eyes.

"What about people!"

The girl was startled, a little like a chipmunk who suddenly saw a human in the morning out of a tree hole.

"Gone? He—he's bleeding just now! Won't you die? ”

Li Diluo's answer made her even more nervous, her hands covered her chest, and her words were a little crying.

With the frame of reference, Li Diluo finally returned to normal and comforted: "Naruko is not an ordinary person, it's okay." ”

The girl breathed a sigh of relief: "Uh-huh, yes, scientist......"

Then she felt that something was wrong: "Huh? That's a superman, not a scientist! ”

Hurriedly rushed into the Navy Hospital, Professor Xu was still in the ICU, and rushed to Tang Xiaotang's ward, just in front of the door, Xia Ming's vision rose to a layer of blood. Lin Cheng was guarding the door, arguing with two people, both of whom he knew.

One is Yang Shengtang, and the other looks like Yang Shengtang's bodyguard, who is the murderer he tracked down!

"Naruko! You're here! ”

"Xia Ming! You still have the face to come here!? ”

Lin Cheng and Yang Shengtang spoke at the same time, and then they both felt that something was wrong, Xia Ming ignored them, and stared at the bodyguards beside Yang Shengtang. The flames in his eyes were like substance, and the bodyguard turned his face sideways, said hello to Yang Shengtang, and turned to leave.

"How's Xiaotang?"

Xia Ming asked, his eyes still on the bodyguard who was far away.

"Xiaotang is okay, but her arm was injured and she had a slight concussion, so she had to rest well, and the doctor gave her a tranquilizer."

Lin Cheng was also looking at the bodyguard as he spoke, not understanding why Xia Ming paid so much attention to this person, and his expression was even more obviously hateful.

"Xia Ming!"

Yang Shengtang couldn't stand the "Xia Ming-style snub" anymore, and said loudly: "I just rushed over at this time to rub the lunch in the hospital?" You still persuade your senior brother not to be stubborn, I want to transfer Xiaotang to the hospital! This hospital is where she can stay! ”

"Don't think! Who knows what kind of heart you have? "Although Lin Cheng, a super code farmer, has worse EQ than Xia Ming, he is extremely sober in terms of right and wrong.

"Xia Ming ......"

Yang Shengtang and Lin Cheng couldn't communicate at all, otherwise they wouldn't have quarreled in front of the ward, so they had to find Xia Ming.

Xia Ming finally set his eyes on him, but it was extremely cold: "For you, the morgue is where Professor Xu and Xiaotang should be, right?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Yang Shengtang was puzzled.

"Isn't that the penalty wine in your mouth?" Xia Ming looked at Yang Shengtang, there was still a layer of floating vision on top of his normal vision, and he could clearly see every change in Yang Shengtang's eyes and every muscle movement on his face.

Yang Shengtang's gaze gradually became confused, and his expression froze. After comparing the information obtained by Hou Yunting and the abnormal appearance of the bodyguard, Xia Ming could be sure that Yang Shengtang did not know.

"Or is it your father's punishment?" Xia Ming leaned into Yang Shengtang's ear, the latter had been suppressed by a huge shock, and he didn't react at all, so he heard Xia Ming say in an inaudible voice: "Guess what your bodyguard did in the morning?" ”

"This—this can't be! No way! Yang Shengtang didn't react until a long time, he closed his eyes and kept shaking his head, as if he wanted to shake something out of his head.

"Don't you understand? It's a war! You're already at war! Xia Ming sneered: "You still want us to hand over Xiaotang to you, are you stupid!?" ”

Yang Shengtang raised his head and looked at Xia Ming in disbelief.

"No, it shouldn't be like this......" he gritted his teeth and spat out, turning and running away.

Lin Cheng suddenly asked in a low voice, "Naruko, are you telling the truth?" The professor and Xiaotang were ......"

Xia Ming nodded: "I only know this result, and I don't really understand the reason, can you tell me?" ”

Lin Cheng closed his eyes, was silent, then opened his eyes again, gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that they were really impatient." ”

"Since the establishment of the institute, Professor Xu, Xiaotang and Yang Yuanchang have irreconcilable contradictions."

With Lin Cheng's explanation, the inside story gradually surfaced.

Elliello is ostensibly an independent company, but under the infiltration of a financial consortium, it has essentially been controlled by a biotechnology trust, and Yang Yuanchang is the spokesperson of the trust, or rather, he betrayed Professor Xu and Tang Xiaotang's father and threw himself into the arms of the capitalists.

The reason why the institute can gain a foothold in Yan University and get the support of Ellio is that in addition to Professor Xu and Tang Xiaotang being shareholders of Ellio, there are more tangible interests. The institute was tasked with testing the effectiveness of various biological reagents on artificial nerve synapses, and after each operation, Chiyan needed to replace some crystallized artificial synapses, which had been shown to have homology reactions and could be used in a wider range of drug trials.

It stands to reason that the research of the institute has made progress, and it is bound to expand the scale of research, and these interests will also expand, and the relationship between the two sides is a win-win situation. The problem, however, is that the reason for the existence of the research institute is only the use of crystallized artificial synapses, which have become the basis for supporting the pharmaceutical companies under the trust, benefiting tens of billions of dollars in profits every year.

Once significant progress has been made in research and the material moves from biotechnology to computational technology, the trust will not be able to maintain a monopoly on the material. For the trust, the institute is more of a practical research and production base for crystallized artificial synapses, and the research on artificial intelligence is just a façade.

"When Yang Yuanchang came to the institute before, he wanted us to focus on the drug response research of artificial nerve synapses, and Professor Xu had a big quarrel with him, and Xiaotang and I heard it outside the door at that time."

Lin Cheng said hatefully: "Everyone knows this contradiction, but we all felt that it was not a matter of three or five years to make substantial progress in research, so we didn't pay too much attention to it." Yang Yuanchang should have thought the same way, so he didn't tear his face with us, he didn't expect us to have a breakthrough so quickly, and Yang Yuanchang also started so quickly! ”

He grabbed Xia Ming's shoulder and said, "We have to call the police!" ”

"No evidence......"

Xia Ming shook his head, this was just an accident, even if the police could track down Yang Shengtang's bodyguard, the other party would have many reasons to excuse him, not to mention the real culprit: Yang Yuanchang and those behind him.

Lin Cheng's words dispelled many doubts in Xia Ming's heart, but Xia Ming felt that things shouldn't be so simple.

For the capitalists, although the problem of technology affects interests, there is no need to use such drastic measures. A new technology can cut off the livelihood of certain industries, and capitalists will kill people in order to prevent change. A new recipe will bring staggering profits, and the capitalists will not hesitate to violently seize it in order to compete for wealth, which is only a stall literature after all, and is not the norm in reality.

If this trust really cares so much about this material, then in the face of change, it should make adjustments in terms of industrial structure. Either find a way to step into the field of computing technology yourself, or seek more advanced and unique materials, there is no need to reduce the business level to the pattern of gangster vendetta.

Even if the trust loses its monopoly on such materials and suffers heavy losses, it is only the norm of business. Modern enterprises have developed for so many years, and there are ups and downs all the time, and if every fluctuation was carried out by conspiracy and murder, the whole earth would have entered the era of corporate empires, and then under the wave of globalization, it became a pig farm of a super enterprise.

To put it simply, trusts, and even joint-stock companies in general, are not empires, and no one and no one has to bear the responsibility for their lives for the gains and losses at the capital level. Although those who like to watch the wind from the rooftop of the stock exchange have something to say, but they are only parasites, not capitalists.

Specific to Yang Yuanchang, after this person learned the news of the breakthrough in research from the traitor Hou Yunting, he reacted so quickly and used such decisive methods, it should be just a small conspiracy group including Yang Yuanchang.

If you want to continue to pursue the answer, you can only wait for Tang Xiaotang to sober up.

Xia Ming didn't continue to bother with this, looked at the sleeping Tang Xiaotang through the window, and told Lin Cheng to continue to guard the door, and walked in the direction where Yang Shengtang left.

Lin Cheng asked puzzledly, "What are you going to do?" ”

Xia Ming replied: "Since it is a war, you can't just be beaten, you have to fight, you have to beat people." ”
