Chapter 64: The "String" Bar
[The second update, ask for recommendation votes! ] 】
"That Xing Gongzi is very sincere, one hundred and thirty acres of land, two large and one small workshop, all built in the eighties and nineties, and they are so strong! There is also a half-built chimney with a diameter of 20 meters! I'm going to turn the chimney into a laboratory, and put Qianyan II in it, and now our research institute is enough......"
In the evening, Tang Xiaotang drove Xia Ming to the city, talking to Xia Ming about work all the way, and her energetic state made her much more lively than usual.
Smelling the elegant fragrance of the girl's body, and listening to her extremely fast nagging, Xia Ming felt that the fatigue accumulated in these days dissipated little by little.
The feeling of being with Xiao Huan is completely different, Xiao Huan is like a flower blooming in a flower garden, with bright colors and attractive aromas, which always make people feel uneasy. Xiaotang is like a proud bamboo forest, whether it is seen from a distance or leaning closely, it is refreshing.
Stop, stop! Today, just like when he first entered the research institute, he is facing a major challenge, and Xiao Huan must put it aside.
Xia Ming put aside distracting thoughts and focused on communicating with Xiaotang about the situation in the past few days.
Yan Da has obediently signed a new agreement with Tang Xiaotang, and the brand of the institute has been changed to "Yan Quantum Neural Computing Research Institute". If the progress is faster, we will be able to move to a new place with the "Xu's Artificial Intelligence Research Institute" before the Spring Festival. The latter brand is a capital injection in the name of "Malaco", an investment company that is used as a shell for capital cover, but the place of registration has changed from Cayman to the Virgin Islands, and the registration of such a shell company in the British Virgin Islands is more confidential.
"I am also doing experiments in the biology laboratory of Yan University, but the conditions are insufficient, and the equation is still only a shelf, so I am in a hurry to run to my new home to make progress these days. Don't worry, I've been driving your car, but the shock absorption is too poor, and the road conditions in that place are not good, so my butt hurts......"
Xiaotang complained about Xia Ming's warrior again, but with the lesson of the last car accident, she just complained.
"Are you going to be a scientist or a capitalist? During this time, you have spent your heart, the cicada movement and illusion have not been smoothed out, and you have played with robots again, and even Lin Cheng has been dragged into the water. Do you know that you are in a hurry to make money and can't find a direction to do it thoroughly? ”
She counted Xia Ming, and the word "heart flower" made Xia Ming's heartbeat a beat faster.
He explained: "It's power armor, not robots, isn't it just to hug the thighs of the army and give us an extra layer of protection?" ”
"Are you sure it's not Tarzan's thigh?" Xiaotang glanced at him, and his eyes were swirling, and it was a rarely seen flattery, which made Xia Ming stunned for a while, and he didn't care about clarifying.
Although the girl quickly turned her head, Xia Ming's burning gaze also made her a little unbearable, she brushed her sideburns, and coughed, Xia Ming came back to her senses. But the touching moment just now made him reminisce and was speechless for a while.
The silence lasted for a long time, the atmosphere became more and more delicate, and at this time the road became more and more congested, and finally the girl couldn't help but beat the horn and said, "Speak! Be honest with your thoughts! ”
Regrettably turning off the charming scene of Xiaotang in the corner of his eyes, Xia Ming talked to Xiaotang about his thoughts.
"Xing Tianmin gave me some clues about Yang Shengtang, and I found out that Yang Shengtang worked in an organization called the Coppenss Foundation, and he was in Yang Yuanchang's class. The foundation has very little information and is rather mysterious. I only know that it has a history of 100 years, and it has left some legends in the financial field. From the Great Depression to World War II, the Cold War, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the chaos of the Middle East, and now, the Foundation's predictions of economic and social situations are quite accurate. In the past, it was steel, energy, transportation, medicine and military industry, and now it is biology, computers and the Internet. ”
"The black hand behind Yang Yuanchang is definitely inseparable from the Coppenss Foundation, but the relationship of this foundation is too extensive, and we have to be prepared in all aspects to pursue it. Some aspects, huh...... It's something that Xiaotang and you women don't dare to listen to. This foundation has ties to a number of security consulting firms, and Deng Jian's professional killer may have come from there. ”
Xiaotang shook his head, and his ponytail also swayed: "PMC and PSC, I know, don't be a delicate greenhouse flower." Speaking of which, you may not be as good as me in this regard, I have a gun in the United States. I often go to the shooting range with my father. The Akademi Company, the former Blackwater Company, has also been to their shooting range, playing everything from pistols and rifles to Vulcan machine guns on gunships. ”
Xia Ming said dejectedly: "Damn, can't even the best project of a man be compared......
"It's not wise to compare with Tang Xiaotang...... Xiaotang raised his chin again, and then smiled: "Okay, don't lead me to interrupt, continue!" ”
Xia Ming said again: "Taking over the power armor project, and getting in touch with the military is to take precautions, of course, it doesn't mean that you really want to fight, with this aspect of reliance, it is more convenient to do things." We're definitely not going to stay in Yandu all the time to do research, I'm pretty sure of that. ”
"I don't think so, I don't think so. Our real purpose is not to be the leader of a certain industry, not to be another Intel, Microsoft or Apple, not to stand in the foreground and become the focus of attention, it is enough to have cicadas and illusions in the foreground. ”
"If you think about it, what are our strengths? It's a thousand faces. Relying on Qianyan's peripheral server architecture, we have the Alfalfa engine, and from Qianyan's quantum neural shell, we can come up with neuronal chips and weak artificial intelligence technology. We make these technologies the standard of the future, and let our AI-related technologies drive change in other areas. Companies like IBM, Intel, Microsoft, and Apple are either following us or being abandoned by the times. In the future, we will research strong artificial intelligence and develop technology to make the world gradually ...... Well, that's a long way off. ”
Xiaotang said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that you were surprised and surprised." ”
Then she sighed again: "The 'research' you said relies on your special ability, just like making an online photo album for Xing Tianmin." It is not difficult to catch information on the Internet, at most it is a super hacker, but it can analyze millions of files in half a day, and make targeted reports that scare people half to death, even Google's future Sigma dog can't do it. ”
"Don't forget, that's Qianyan helping me, and when Qianyan II gets it right, you'll understand what's going on."
Xia Ming didn't plan to hide the existence of R3AI from Xiaotang, after all, the two of them were related in this matter, but now was not the time to tell him. At least until the relationship between the two was confirmed, he didn't want Xiaotang to think that he was a monster.
Xiaotang smiled: "Since I have experienced supernatural strange things, if there is anything super-scientific about you, I won't be unable to accept it, don't worry." ”
It's okay to feel less acute......
Xia Ming was both happy for the tacit understanding between the two, and embarrassed for breaking his heart. But I really don't want to talk about this today, his mind is on "Tang Xiaotang's generosity".
"So, let's wait until the institute moves and gets a thousand faces II, and then listen to your explanation. Look at your energy, I don't know which line to jump to when the time comes. ”
Xiaotang drove the car into a quiet path, Xia Ming vaguely remembered that this neighborhood was Houhai, what were you doing here?
He replied casually: "At that time, I may have to go to the Indian Ocean, but I can't go alone, I have to have an exploration ship." ”
"It's here!"
Driving the car into the parking lot, Xiaotang patted the steering wheel, and then said to Xia Ming: "I have to have me!" Don't want to break around alone in the future! ”
Following Xiaotang, looking at her ponytail swaying with her light steps, Xia Ming thought to himself, is this sentence the opening sentence of "Tang Xiaotang's generosity"?
It's a small bar, and although it has a lot of customers, it's not as noisy as other bars. The light is a warm tone that tends to be bright, and it hangs down on the island-like seats under the cluster of lampshades. The contrast between light and darkness is the opposite of that of a stylish bar.
found a seat in the corner and sat down, Xiaotang ordered a glass of pineapple juice, Xia Ming ordered a cup of Pepsi, and then the two fell silent.
After a while, Xia Ming asked, "Uh, what are we doing...... Appointment? ”
This was not Xia Ming's attack, he was indeed puzzled, the atmosphere of this bar was too weird.
Xiaotang smiled slightly: "Shouldn't dating be initiated by men?" ”
Her expression turned serious: "The name of this bar is 'String', the string of superstring theory, the previous owner was engaged in theoretical physics research, and most of the drinkers were from the circle of basic science. ”
She leaned back and sank into the soft couch. The light above only covered her face, reflecting like a jade carving. From a distance, the whole figure is immersed in the hot spring, and the face is exposed. Such a picture made Xia Ming feel that she seemed to be far away from the real world and became an indifferent observer.
"Before Professor Xu's accident, I often came here, not only to relax, but also to think about problems from a different perspective. Here, you are under the light, but next to you is darkness, and the dust swims between the light and darkness, and you are constantly making positive and negative comparisons with your mind. Then you think about your own existence, and you clearly feel that the self is the kind of self that is usually obscured by the seven emotions and six desires inherent in the body. ”
Xiaotang half-squinted his eyes and said in a low voice, but Xia Ming didn't care to appreciate her lazy and charming state, and the self she said made him feel deeply.
"Professor Xu studied psychology in his early years, so I am surprised that he brought me here. He believes that there are three layers of human self-consciousness, the first is the otherself, which is a feeling that is completely different from ordinary self-knowledge. I feel alien and alienated from my own flesh, my identity in this world. ”
Hearing this term again, Xia Ming felt a little numb in his scalp, could this be the source of what R3AI said about "alien perception"?
"The second layer is the ego, which is based on the other self and further breaks free from bondage. From the perspective of a bystander, you can observe your own physical body and basic consciousness in a more detailed way, that is, those emotions brought about by physical changes and social cognition. ”
Consciousness active? R3AI reports that he now has 0.5 consciousness activity and can access the essence of the concept, but his head hurts when he thinks deeply, so he hasn't started it yet.
Listening to Xiaotang's words, "self" is very related to consciousness activity and the management model of R3AI.
"The third level is the true self, where you can get in touch with the essence of the true mind. He had a serious discussion with the former bar owner about one of the premises for the establishment of idealism, that is, the true human mind is the most basic movement in the universe, a kind of basic string. It is smaller than quantum, quark and other matter, initially it appeared first, the moment it was formed, other strings were produced, then singularities were formed, and then ...... Bang! ”
Xiaotang made an explosive gesture: "Our universe is just like that, this ...... Let's call it the thinking string, and it also spreads to the entire universe, and it is the thinking that supports all intelligent life. It can't be observed, it can't be verified, because it's the nature of thinking. It will only exist in mathematics, or when intelligent life has evolved to an unimaginably advanced stage where it can touch the mind itself. ”
This was the look on my face at the time......
Xia Ming's face can be added to the emoji, but it's not funny, but shocking.
I originally thought that R3AI had nothing to do with Professor Xu's research, but now it seems to be connected again.
Tilting his head and looking at Xia Ming's stupid appearance for a while, Xiaotang laughed: "When I heard Professor Xu talk about this, my mouth opened wide, and I didn't know that my saliva was flowing out, it was even uglier than you." ”
"Isn't it the second second? The typical characteristics of adolescence, as for the self and the true self, it is the egg pain of the menopause middle two plus scientists. Professor Xu was also laughing at me, saying, you really believe it, that old man ......"
Xiaotang laughed, Xia Ming laughed, it was Professor Xu's gang who were so idle that they were pulling it out, but ...... Is it really?
Xiaotang said again: "Is this joke funny?" But those words are true at first, and you can really take a good look at yourself here. If you talk nonsense here, crying and laughing, or singing or something, people won't care, but will use it as fodder for themselves. ”
Xia Mingxin said that your scientists' jokes are the most terrifying, wait, you are also a scientist......
He was still muttering secretly, Xiaotang shook his white palm and said, "Okay, don't think nonsense, you also know what I brought you here to do." ”
She got up and straightened her clothes, and then dismantled her ponytail, her long hair falling down like an angel in the light.
She smiled at Xia Mingyan: "I keep the agreement and offer Tang Xiaotang's generosity here." ”
Watching her walk to the table in front of the bar, all Xia Ming's distractions disappeared, and only the sound of her own pounding and speeding heartbeat was heard.
