After sending the old man to the car and watching the car go away, Ning Xiao glanced at the time, there was still half an hour before the scheduled display time, so he hugged March and began to walk in the base.

I said a little bit more today, but I can't help it. The population problem is a big problem, and the population of China is large, but the age structure is not suitable for the development of the future space age. And the focus is still on the population of childbearing age, to put it bluntly, it is a problem of the quality of the population structure.

March doesn't really care too much about this issue, but Ning Xiao does.

This is a very important question about what flags will fly on the planets conquered by humans in the future solar system.

Planets outside the solar system are not to be talked about for the time being, and there are only a few planets in the solar system that are suitable for modification. Except for the moon, which is too close to the earth to move, several other planets will begin to transform in the next two decades.

And all the planets are actually quite close together. Even without the help of medium space, it is possible that a ship with a computing load of zero mass will be able to fly at the speed of light in the future, so it is necessary to have a strong civilization cornerstone to ensure stability in the solar system.

To put it simply, no matter what moths come out of the future extra-system civilization, as long as they grasp the channel of medium space, there is a natural barrier like the Oort Nebula at the edge of the solar system, and it has a strong rejection function. Of course, it is still a little further to consider these issues at this time.

But if people have no foresight, they must have near-term worries.

For Ning Xiao, there is really nothing to worry about, so he can naturally think about it further.

It's quiet inside the base, presumably thanks to the fact that there are sentry posts everywhere. Even if you are an invited guest, you can't wander around the base.

Although there is nothing to keep secret on the ground, the rules are the rules.

The older she gets, the more she realizes the importance of rules.

It's like the principle of entropy increase in physics, where all chaos begins with the breaking of the rules in the smallest places.

There will always be too many people who keep testing the bottom line of the rules from a small place, and no one cares about that little breakthrough at first, but every time the rule is broken, when there is a person who can go unpunished like this, then more and more people will follow the same example.

Many people think that Zhuo Mingqian can only make sycophants, so he is deeply trusted by Ning Xiao. But the truth is that Zhuo Mingqian is the most thorough one around Ning Xiao who is willing to uphold the rules for him and offend people.

This young man who is always smiling, he is not even noticed when he turns his face, but he can always use his thunderous wrist to beat all the rule breakers to the bottom, and even drive them out of the base. Everyone thought that it was Ning Xiao who gave Zhuo Mingqian a platform behind him, and even Zhuo Mingqian himself thought so, but in fact, it was all a misunderstanding.

Zhuo Mingqian's real backing is actually the kitten in Ning Xiao's arms.

Because all the rules of the entire base are actually made by kittens, Zhuo Mingqian is like a stand-in for kittens. Smiling for the kitten, he put all the luck on the test and disposed of it in a way that humans can understand. In order to maintain the authority of the base's rules and ensure the efficient operation of various projects within the base.

Of course, March and Zhuo Mingqian can have this kind of confidence because there is really no so-called only key person for any project in the base. If there is, it's the huge database that March controls. The standards and lab results do give many people the illusion that when they leave the platform, they will find how difficult it is to start from scratch.

As a qualified artificial intelligence, March can break down each stage achievement and bury it in the task line and assign it. As a result, each of its thousands of laboratories feels that their task is the most important, but in fact, the work of each laboratory can be replaced at any time and will not be held back.

Today is a major turning point.

The interview of the N1 robot is not only for the future, but also for the present.

It means that the demand for the whole lab will be more high-end, because those repetitive experiments will be completely replaced by robots, and the rest of the people will need to provide creative labor, not repetitive labor.

In other words, the term "scientific research migrant workers" will become a thing of the past in the future, and independent robot platforms will completely replace these scientific research migrant workers, and this kind of thing can even make the robot plugged in and carry out 24 hours a day.

You only need to set up the test program for the robot first, and then the whole test process does not need to be paid attention to.

In the age of intelligence, even programs don't need to be written yourself.

After all, there's March.

Yes, when the N1 robots start to spread all over the base, it means that March's ability to control will be further improved.

In a sense, AI is more efficient than human life forms, although created by humans. It's about being weak in the body, it's about being strong-willed. Theoretically, the existence of artificial intelligence can allow machines to have a unified will, compared with the individual consciousness of human beings, machines without individual consciousness interference, only the only consciousness to make decisions, in the face of crises, often have more resilience.

Because there is no internal friction in this mode of will implementation, there is a waste of resources and time.

Zooming in to the group, it can implement on-demand allocation without hindrance and maximize resource utilization.

For the simplest example, if human society as a whole lacks 10 percent of the food to feed all the people in the world, then the result is that the price of food will rise to 20 percent or more, and people will not be able to afford food and fall into famine. But if the machine world lacks 10% of the electricity to make all the robots move, then the worst result is that 10% of the robots with low productivity are willingly eliminated, and the remaining 90% of the robots quickly find a solution to get out of the energy crisis.

Of course, this cannot be used simply to judge the high or low level of civilization.

Although the continuation of human civilization is inefficient, the difference in individual consciousness can promote the complexity and diversity of civilization, and although machine civilization is efficient, the unified will without personality at all is likely to fall into silence due to lack of creative thinking and eventually lose its goal in the later stage.

These are all verified by simulations, and this is where the importance of mathematics comes in, and it can even predict everything. Of course, the premise is that there needs to be an efficient computing center to complete the deduction. And it is possible to draw wrong conclusions because of the wrong data brought in at the beginning. However, if probability theory is introduced, the results of calculations can be infinitely closer to reality.

In short, mathematics is too powerful, Ning Xiao secretly sighed in his heart.

This is also the reason why Ning Xiao has always trusted March. The best way to survive is to combine two different civilizations. Artificial intelligence relies on human beings to extend the tentacles of civilization to all corners of the universe, which is the most optimal choice for machine thinking.

In this way, Ning Xiao walked around the base, silently planning the future development direction in his heart, and when his body felt a chill, he happened to walk into the No. 3 building on the surface.

Below Building 3 is the test hall of the N1 robot, which is also the place where the N1 robot capabilities were demonstrated with the partners of the base today. Yes, the N1 humanoid robot base did not plan to announce it to the public at all, but only invited some partners to get a general understanding of the situation.

It can be understood as cheering up partners, and it can also be understood as showing off some gains, so that some people can help the development of the base with more peace of mind, and do not have other messy thoughts. In March's words, partners need to be hammered all the time to make them realize the importance of partners and not to have some messy thoughts.

The N1 robot is the only thing that can still be used at the base recently.

There is no way, the rice has to be eaten in one bite.

Truth be told, the efficiency of the base is high enough, it can't be done faster.

……

In the VIP activity room with very simple furnishings, Dou Liao really took a sip of coffee, and silently watched Ge Dongshu in the corner like a little bee, whirling around with many people.

People are different from each other after all.

It was as if today, more than a dozen people had gathered in the humble room with the so-called VIP activity room sign, and Ge Dongshu obviously knew most of them, either he was chatting with someone, or someone else took the initiative to greet him. As for him, a technical worker, no one knows him.

Whether it's so or not, there are a few celebrities he can still recognize.

For example, Apple's CEO is very similar to the one in the video.

There are also two who have visited Youwei Group, and Dou Liaozhen also spoke as a technical representative at the meeting. But that's all there is to it, although he may have shook hands at the time, but now the other party probably won't recognize him.

This is the sorrow of technical people, unless you can get ahead like Ning Xiao, most of the time, you will not be taken to heart.

The mood was a little inexplicably uncomfortable, and what made him even more angry was that the coffee provided in this so-called VIP activity room was instant, and there was not even a serious coffee machine. The tea that I want to serve is similar.

It's a little bit of a feeling that I don't treat VIPs as VIPs.

But then again, he was obviously not the highest-ranking guest invited this time, and the others didn't have any opinions, so of course he couldn't say anything.

“hi……”

Just when Dou Liaozhen was silently holding the sofa in the corner, thinking about something, he suddenly heard someone say hello to him, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a blonde girl who was dressed very neatly, her hair was very natural and golden, and with her fair skin, it looked very layered.

Dou Liao Zhen raised a finger and pointed at himself, obviously the other party understood what he meant, smiled and said: "I feel that you are not used to this atmosphere, I happen to be too, can you understand?" Need simultaneous headphones? ”

Very standard American English, but fortunately, Dou Liao's spoken English is passable, and he immediately replied: "No, my English level is not bad." ”

"That's great. I'm President Cook's entourage, my name is Nina Madeleth, you can call me Nina, what about you? ”

"I'm an algorithm engineer of Youwei Group, my name is Dou Liaozhen, uh, I'm sorry, I don't have an English name."

"Oh, you're here with Manager Ge?"

Dou Liaozhen nodded, this familiar chat mode made him feel a little unaccustomed.

But how to say it, even otaku will always be unconsciously tolerant of the opposite sex with high appearance, and it just so happens that this Nina is quite good-looking.

"Then you must be an important person, after all, this is a small gathering." Nina said naturally.

"Well, in fact, it was Academician Ning who invited me this time." Dou Liao really said very honestly.

"Wow, can be invited by Ning personally...... Wait, Dou Liao Zhen...... I remembered that Professor Tedrak of MIT used reinforcement learning techniques to make the paper on the gait walking of the robot Kampas seems to have a signature that resembles your name. ”

"Well, I'm actually a student of Professor Tedrak, and that paper is the result of our collaboration. But what I'm doing is based on optimized motion planning. Dou Liao was a little surprised to be recognized by the woman in front of him, but I have to say that it feels pretty good.

"Oh, I also learned a little bit about this after I found out that I was going to be here. I happened to have seen that paper not long ago, and by the way, how do you think Jonathan Hirst's work is doing? ”

Jonathan Hirst, as a woman, is also one of the few scholars in the world who studies machine motion. As a peer, Dou Liao really knows a little, which is just right for him to open the conversation.

"Well, Jonathan is also a teacher that I look up to, and his achievements in robotics are well recognized. Including Mable, which is used by Kuhl, and Marlo, which is now used, and Cassie, which was bought immediately, were all developed by his team. But to be honest, the controller he called up was basically based on the inverted pendulum model of bullet yellow loading, and the mathematical depth of the method was relatively average, and the versatility was limited. Compared to the motion planning technology of the N1 robot...... Their technology can probably only be described as low-end. ”

Dou Liao really commented professionally.

"Then you must have a credit for it." Nina commented.

These words made Dou Liao really feel a little unsure of how to answer.

Well, with his character, he really can't say anything to take credit.

It would be absolutely irrelevant to say that the N1 robot has made no contribution at all in terms of its motion algorithms.

But to say that he has made a great contribution, in fact, Dou Liao Zhen is still a little weak-hearted.

His dissatisfaction with Ning Xiao is more often mixed with all kinds of cynicism when he gives opinions when communicating. But for Ning Xiao every time he modifies the code, he is very grateful for speeding up the progress. It's a paradoxical mentality, but it's all too real.

To put it simply, in Dou Liaozhen's opinion, Ning Xiao's personality is very bad, and sometimes he even wants to have a real PK with Ning Xiao! But if you really compete professionally, you do have something outstanding. If you really want to talk about it, the engineering progress of the N1 robot, they have been lagging behind......

Fortunately, at this critical moment, someone helped him out.

Dou Liao really hated and loved that person and happened to walk into the room, and then naturally attracted everyone's attention, including the Miss Nina beside him, of course.

"Oh, everyone, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, please move downstairs to the visiting room, and I'll introduce you to the N1 robot today. If you want to talk about the old days, you can wait until noon to eat, as you know, my time is as usual, very rushed. ”
