211 Overture to the Space Age
After hanging up the phone, Dominit Duncan was in a tangled mood, especially when the news that Ning Xiao won the Nobel Prize again was made public the next day, the whole world was shocked.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' operation has indeed surprised many people, and the happiest laugh is probably the magical BC company. After all, the more sassy the operation, the more unexpected it can be, and no one expected that Ning Xiao could win two awards at once, and physics and science and science at the same time.
The point is that after the academic uproar, there is nothing wrong with it. The biggest problem for the University is that the banner has to be made again. All kinds of celebrations and sourness are indispensable.
After all, winning a Nobel Prize is nothing, winning two awards in the same year, and winning it makes people have nothing to say, that is the only one.
Einstein only took it once that year.
But for Ning Xiao...... That's about it.
The recognition of winning an award is not something that makes everyone feel excited. The main thing is that if you take too much, it is not rare.
In comparison, for Ning Xiao, it was more exciting to win the Fields Medal in mathematics. It's just that the experience was relatively fast, and I didn't even be able to attend the dinner.
Of course, this time is about the same, anyway, Ning Xiao has nothing to do with the dinner.
In March's parlance, Xiao Ning can be considered a single danger as long as he leaves the border, or the kind of danger that is difficult to save his super kitten.
Especially at this time, it is the darkness before dawn. Wait, and you'll be able to see another village.
Ning Xiao naturally believed in March's judgment.
Fortunately, his life is actually quite fulfilling, and he is well protected, and it is not a big deal for him to go to a high-profile dinner party.
Even if many people around will jump out and point fingers at the research and development base of the university, or even say that it is a threat to all mankind, some people will naturally refute it.
But the impact is somewhat.
There are many widely circulated gossip on the Internet, saying that the Ningyuan Research Center and the R&D base of the University of Sports have been controlled by artificial intelligence, and as we all know, artificial intelligence may develop into extremely dangerous opponents, and artificial intelligence will often become the biggest villain in the movie, attacking the entire civilization.
Therefore, it can be concluded that all the research that Ning Xiao is doing now may be extremely dangerous. It will gradually encroach on the development space of human beings, and one day, it will even exterminate the entire human race like Skynet. There is also a lot of evidence, such as the artificial intelligence products provided by Ningyuan for products with Apple, and the faster that Cisco is now promoting.
The technology that comes out can even replace programmers, and the extent of self-developed technology can be imagined.
Not to mention that although the research content of the base is confidential, it is impossible for the actions of the Youwei Group to be completely confidential. Since Youwei Group set up a large-scale research department to start making robot support, it is no secret that the University is researching the robot strategy.
Not to mention, it was later revealed that Ning Xiao asked for some of the latest research materials of Boston Dynamics in negotiations with a number of companies on the turbulence algorithm. There are definitely not many engineers in the world who can write algorithms related to machine motion, and they can be counted on four hands at most, and two have been poached by Youwei Group with high salaries.
The above information can be easily analyzed, and the research and development base of the University is not only researching spaceships, but also researching robotics technology, coupled with artificial intelligence technology that the outside world does not know to what extent, which also makes many conspiracy theories on the Internet seem particularly real.
Many people have also begun to implicitly start arguing that the specific research and development content of the research base should be disclosed. It even asked Youwei Group to disclose the details of its cooperation with the R&D base of the Sports University.
Yes, although the Nobel Prize was awarded to Ning Xiao, which made Ning Xiao's prestige in the academic world go to a higher level, but the worry about such a genius is growing. After all, the earth is the earth of all mankind, and the safety of artificial intelligence has always been a matter of opinion.
If machines can really generate emotions and feelings similar to those of humans, then it is not strange to do anything. The plot of the destruction of the machine in science fiction does not necessarily not happen. After all, human beings are also very good at destroying thoughts that are not in the name of doing good for others. No one can say for sure, whether the machine will do this.
However, no matter how loud the online discussion is, it is difficult to succeed.
Because after research, everyone found that the construction of the R&D base of the University was basically invested and built by Ning Xiao.
Personal investment means that no national R&D funds are occupied, and naturally no one has the confidence to let the R&D base of the University announce various technical details and R&D progress. Even if these remarks are endorsed by some academic elders, it will not work.
Not to mention that Ning Xiao was never fighting alone.
Any concerns are not heard after the reaction has come and gone.
As for Youwei Group, it will not pay attention to these demands.
That's one of the benefits of not going public.
The lack of public financing means that there is no need to be responsible to some boring shareholders, and naturally there is no obligation to consult and announce the company's decisions. Any online request or suggestion can be treated as a fart. Therefore, whether it is a mobile phone, a chip, or a robot, the company's decision-makers do not need to be responsible to countless shareholders.
So no matter how much commotion there was on the Internet, it didn't affect the peace inside the base.
After Ning Xiao won the award, the Space Academy was still quietly attending classes, and the heads of each laboratory still selected various scientific research tasks on the intranet every day, and then completed them step by step to accumulate points. After all, these points can not only upgrade the laboratory and replace various laboratory equipment, but it is also said that they can be prioritized to the space laboratory in the future, which is an extremely valuable resource for these scientific researchers.
Not to mention going up to the laboratory in person, there is a laboratory of your own in space, and it is different from ordinary people when you say it. And in the future, all kinds of cooperation will definitely be soft. The most important thing is the release of negative mass anti-gravity materials, which makes everyone full of confidence.
Although Ning Xiao said that he would send these children to space to study in his junior year at the Space Academy, he was somewhat skeptical. But for a decade or so, the base will have a large space building.
And everyone is not very old, and most of the main laboratory leaders in ten years are concentrated in their fifties. Basically, it can be described by the word young and strong, if there is no accident, everyone can continue to work for more than ten or twenty years.
That's when the status gap comes out.
For example, if you don't have your own laboratory in space, are you embarrassed to participate in the evaluation in the future?
So no matter how much controversy there is in the outside world, at least internal unity is no problem.
Of course, there have been cases that may involve leaks internally, but there is a set of effective strict discipline to control, and the most important thing is that any leakage channels are basically blocked, and after a few typical punishments, any crooked wind can be stopped.
This has to be commended for March again.
All the working researchers have signed the relevant confidentiality agreement, and according to the content of the confidentiality agreement, it can also intervene in the monitoring of all information that may involve confidentiality matters, so naturally there is nothing to slip through the net. In addition, there are so many things that March cutie does not have a personal relationship, even if there are any internal contacts, it basically has no effect when she comes to Ning Xiao.
It should be expelled and expelled, and it should be held accountable, so no matter how fierce the outside world is, it is difficult to affect the progress of internal research.
Of course, the most important thing is that March is very clear about which units should disclose the latest R&D information to which units, and to what extent it should be disclosed, so as to maintain mutual trust and not cause any trust crisis, and so on.
In addition, the entire industrial chain layout in March seems to be just the research and development of the base, but in fact, it is the layout of hundreds of thousands of assembly lines all over the country, and millions of matching jobs are silently supported, and Apple is among them to carry out the global industrial chain layout.
Through these layouts, the entire interest chain of upstream and downstream manufacturers is firmly bound together, and then through various authorized technical upgrade measures, the entire interest chain is more stable. The most important thing is that the base payment is simple, the price is fair, the quality requirements are transparent, and the authority of all handling personnel is firmly limited, which is not only efficient, but also ensures the interests of each cooperative manufacturer to the greatest extent.
In short, a series of measures have maximized resource utilization, but also made all doubts on the network spontaneously attacked, or even eventually disappeared, through various benefit allocation models.
The attack pattern that could have caused chaos in the system passed silently, and even many people in the game did not feel it.
Also in this year, Ning Xiao's name was added to the supplementary list of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He became an honorable Chinese double academician.
Although some people objected in the process, thinking that Ning Xiao should disclose more technical details in order to get this honor, the opposition was finally strongly pressed. The status of an academician is beneficial, and when it comes to greater resource allocation, it can give you a lot more say.
Of course, March also stuck the time of the project schedule very well.
In November 2019, when the students of the Academy of Space were preparing for the mid-term exams, and the dean's name appeared on the list of academicians, the official prototype of Huaxia's first-generation self-propelled engineering robot, the N1 humanoid robot, was officially launched on the same day.
Of course, at this moment, for the vast majority of people, they do not know what kind of great changes this news has not yet had time to officially announce will bring to human society.
……
November 13, 2019, Huaxia, Yanbei Sports University large-scale scientific research base.
In November, the weather in the capital has already begun to turn cold, and the green Chinese acacia on the side of the road has lost its face, revealing bare tree trunks. However, the various large trees in the base still look lush, especially the many transplanted ginkgo trees, whose leaves have shown golden and scattered all over the ground, with a different kind of beauty.
Just after two security checks, Ge Dongshu, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but take a second look at the noisy yard next to the road.
At this time, the car was driving on the main road outside the walls of the Space Academy in the base, which was also the most lively place after his car entered the base. The blue court that should be the school across the courtyard wall, the youthful cheering sound from it dyed this solemn scientific research base with a bit of youthful color, and also brought more vitality to this heavy late autumn.
"It's better to be young, by the way, Dou Gong, this time it's over, shouldn't we also organize a few basketball games internally." Set up more prizes for everyone to relax. Ge Dongshu retracted his gaze and sighed at the man beside him.
The Dou Gong in Ge Dongshu's mouth looks about thirty years old, with messy hair, a pair of plastic black-framed glasses, and it can be seen from the thickness of the lenses that the power is definitely not low, and his expression looks a little wooden, but people who really know him will probably never use wooden to describe him.
In fact, if you put aside some geniuses, this Dou Gong is also a rare genius in this world.
There are not many people in this world who can design algorithms for robots that walk on two legs, and this Dou Gong is one of them.
Not only that, but the algorithm he designed can also get Ning Xiao's approval, and becoming one of the chief designers of the supporting underlying algorithm of the N1 self-propelled humanoid robot is enough to prove his ability. This is also the reason why Ge Dongshu came to the meeting this time to bring this Dou worker.
But then again, it's really hard to say who will lead whom.
Although Ge Dongshu has taken another step forward in the past two years and has become the No. 2 person who is recognized as the most important person in the entire Youwei Group, when it comes to robot technology, it is obvious that Dou Gong has more right to speak.
"I don't know much about basketball, but I don't need to decide what activities the group will organize." Dou Liaozhen took off his eyes, wiped them with his sleeve casually, and said slowly.
accidentally saw such an informal style, so Ge Dongshu subconsciously looked away.
Relatively speaking, he still prefers the elegant academic school like Ning Xiao.
But then again, the current technical executive who is now the most expensive for the group, and only brings in people with an eight-figure salary every year, even if he is a little informal in life, he can't criticize it.
"Forehead ......"
"Basketball is good, but if you hold a coding competition, people will probably be more interested."
"Programming is lonely." Hearing this topic, Ge Dongshu sighed again.
"I can't quite say that, I've tried faster, and it's still impossible to completely replace humans. It's still a bit stupid, it's just optimal in terms of aggregating resources, but if you want to do real programming, it's not quite good. Dou Liao really said seriously.
"Oh, then you can talk to him about this when you see Ning Xiao, and you also know that faster is actually developed by Ning Xiao."
These words made Dou Liaozhen silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Then forget it, Mr. Ge will wait or not mention this matter." I didn't win a debate with him. ”
Well, these words made Ge Dongshu suddenly feel that this engineer had become more pleasing to the eye.
Hey, man.
