After the launch of Chang'e-5 and the smooth deployment of the lunar base, Chen Nian temporarily fell into a vacuum of the mission.

Of course, he is not without nothing to do, the fusion-superconducting industrial complex in China is still progressing steadily, the Nantianmen project has also completed theoretical verification, and has begun to enter the actual manufacturing and technology landing link, and even quantum computers have begun to achieve rapid breakthroughs with the participation of Wang Jiancheng.

This surprised Chen Nian-—— theoretically speaking, quantum computing is not a field that can be checked by laymen, it is too complex, too profound, and even involves the underlying logic of this world.

But what he didn't expect was that Wang Jiancheng did it.

Of course, it is difficult to say that he played the most crucial "leading role" in it, but like Chen Nian at the beginning, he became an "inspirer".

His rare thinking in the field of algorithms has helped him to formulate a series of problems that need to be solved in a result-oriented manner, and these problems have been fed back to the quantum computing working group, which has successfully provided them with alternative directions.

It's like a magical coincidence, but in a way, it's an inevitability.

For the first time, GAI and quantum computing are closely integrated, and they are combined in a "direct" and "bundled" way.

But of course, at this point, it is difficult for Wang Jiancheng to play any more role.

Therefore, after the tolerance of the imperial capital was over, he finally returned to Chengdu and saw Chen Nian again.

At this time, his status has been a little different from before.

Instead of being an ordinary grassroots researcher, he began to build his influence.

——

However, when he saw Chen Nian, he didn't show any pride.

The reason is very simple, in this country and in this world, the closer people are to cutting-edge technology, the more they know that Chen Nian is terrible.

"Senior!"

Wang Jiancheng, who walked into Chen Nian's office, was still as enthusiastic as ever, he was still carrying a computer bag, and it seemed that he didn't even have time to return home.

Chen Nian stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"You're finally back! How's it going, are things going well in the imperial capital? ”

Wang Jiancheng shook his head frankly.

"Of course, it can't go well, GAI is a proposition with great breadth and difficulty, and we don't really expect anything to come up with this time."

"To be more precise, our purpose in the past was just to do a survey and integration of domestic resources, and by the way to see if we could collide with some sparks."

"Luckily, we've actually had some gains – but only in a directional way."

"The most unexpected result is the inspiration that GAI brings to quantum computing projects when it exports algorithms to the outside world."

"I've heard that they've already started to optimize accordingly, and while there may not be much progress on the hardware anytime soon, it's only a matter of time."

"As long as the hardware problem is solved, quantum computers and general-purpose quantum computers will soar!"

"Very good, very good, you also worked hard to drink water? Or go out to dinner together? ”

Chen Nian asked happily.

In fact, he already knew what Wang Jiancheng said, but he was able to come to him at the first time, which reflected his attitude more.

Of course, it can also be said to be a friendship.

He can not do this, and in fact he shouldn't do it, but at the same time, he knows that Chen Nian is qualified and authorized to know these things, so as a friend, he shared the novelty of his time away for the first time, which can be regarded as a very close move.

There used to be a joke about it?

If there is a friend who is willing to be your information tour dog, it means that the relationship between the two of you is really in place.

"Let's eat later, I'm tired."

"This flight was taken. By the way, I optimized Bai Ze by the way, do you want to take a look? ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Nian became interested.

"New version? To what extent? ”

"To be honest it's pretty average. It's still limited by computing power, but of course, I've optimized for cloud computing and released a public version. ”

"It's more of a public online game built on a blockchain now."

"I designed a lot of scenarios for it and designed some gameplay features to attract various terminals to participate in its training."

"But how to put it, it performs very well, but it definitely doesn't pass the Turing test."

"Hey, actually, I'm looking for you today, I also want to see if you have any new ideas."

Wang Jiancheng was a little embarrassed, after all, he had just landed, and the first time he saw him, he talked about his own affairs, which still didn't sound right.

However, Chen Nian didn't care at all, but was very curious about the "public online game set up on the blockchain" that Li Xiang said.

didn't talk too much nonsense, the two of them directly turned on the computer and entered Bai Ze's interface.

As Wang Jiancheng said, Bai Ze is now out of the category of conversational robots.

Of course, it is still a conversational robot, but on the blockchain, each participant can train the robot with their own computing power, and these trainings will eventually be enriched on a de facto "central program", improving the overall intelligence of Bai Ze.

That's a really good idea – at least from an AI training perspective.

However, the problem now is that the so-called "game-like" interactive functions mentioned by Wang Jiancheng are ridiculously low in gameplay.

He simply picked up some classic board games, or other competitive games, and the only creative thing was the introduction of a turtle soup gameplay.

To put it simply, it means that people make up questions, AI makes up stories, and then people correct them.

But this thing is very inefficient to train, and no one plays at all, which can be seen from the click-through rate.

Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's a great idea, but you're not fun at all."

"Let's go straight and change the turtle soup to the running group mode, so that your AI becomes the running group host, the running group host who can be questioned and corrected."

"Good idea!"

Wang Jiancheng immediately came to the spirit.

Yes, every run is essentially building a new story, but the rules are relatively clear, which means that the reward and feedback logic is no problem.

It is interesting, can attract terminals to contribute computing power, and can also achieve efficient training, which is too suitable.

"I'll add this module right away! Hehe, I knew you would have a way. ”

"It's not a good idea. It's just an idea. ”

Chen Nian spread his hands.

"Anyway, give it a try."

"Bai Ze is definitely not GAI, and I can tell you this without hesitation."

"It doesn't have the potential to become GAI at all, and it's completely wrong."

"But. I always feel that I see something different in this program. ”

Wang Jiancheng nodded solemnly.

"I understand!"

"I can't go wrong with this route, but let's see what happens in the end, hehe"

The development of the lunar base was even smoother than Chen Nian imagined, of course, this was not a "technical" victory, but a purely "designal" victory.

The experience accumulated by the infrastructure madman in decades of practical operation has become the most valuable asset, a small riveted structure, a small ingenuity on the slide, has brought completely different results.

The idea of modularization has penetrated into every part of this lunar base, and with the assistance of limited intelligent robots, a huge lunar base has taken on a preliminary shape in an orderly manner.

In the office, Chen Nian sat in the corner, and the large screen was divided into two parts, one part showing the progress of the construction of the lunar base, and the other part was the live video call screen of each venue.

At this time, it was Chen Guo who spoke - yes, they had already finished the technical discussion and started to enter the comprehensive scheduling of the follow-up plan.

So from the current situation, the progress of the Guanghan plan is much faster than expected."

"According to the information we have just obtained, the launch of Chang'e-6 will probably be scheduled for October this year, which is about six months away."

"This is four months earlier than we originally planned for around February 2017, which means that we also need to make adjustments to the scheduling of resources."

"But the good news is that we don't have to worry about the budget."

"The fusion industry's going global strategy has provided us with strong support, and it has been proven that sharing advanced technology to a certain extent will not make us lose our advantages, but will amplify our advantages more quickly."

"But that's off topic, so let's talk about the specifics first."

"Regarding the selection of astronauts for the Chang'e-6 moon landing, how is it going?"

After Chen Guo's words were finished, someone in the branch room immediately replied:

"It's going well, 6 astronauts have been preliminarily finalized, including three professional astronauts, two scientific research technicians, and one inspector."

"Tell me about the inspectors."

Chen Guo immediately asked.

In fact, the name "inspector" is a tortuous statement.

More directly, the selected inspector is a sign in itself.

He doesn't need to undertake any space work like a professional astronaut, nor does he need to carry out actual research like a scientific research technician, all he needs to do is to go to the moon, live on the lunar base for a period of time, and then return with the subsequent return capsule.

Is he testing?

Theoretically, yes, but what he tested was the "comprehensive support capability of the lunar base" and whether the base built by Huaxia could ensure the survival and work of an ordinary person who had been trained under any circumstances.

"The background information of the inspectors has been distributed, so I won't introduce it much."

"The current situation is that he has completed the basic training, the results are good, and unexpectedly, in terms of the basics, he is relatively well prepared."

"Of course, the information he had obtained was relatively old, but the general direction was correct, and it saved us a lot of time."

"We will arrange for him to enter Tiangong-1 for two weeks of adaptation training in two months, and after returning, he will continue to repair and study, and complete the moon landing in six months."

"Good."

Chen Guo nodded with satisfaction.

"How is Tiangong No. 1 ready?"

As soon as these words were asked, the participants in the various venues were a little silent.

"Bill, should I say everything is fine? The first astronauts have returned, and they are currently vacant, and we will expand the scale of Tiangong in the next step. ”

In fact, the first manned mission of Tiangong-1 was sandwiched between Chang'e-3 and Chang'e-5, which should theoretically attract some attention, but too many things happened during that time, and everyone's attention was diverted.

Therefore, the silence is not because everyone does not know about the situation of this "first space station in China", but because it has become a springboard to some extent, so that everyone does not know how to answer for a while.

"Okay, that's fine."

"According to the plan-—— in addition, the distance between the Artemis base of the United States and our Guanghan base is no more than 60 kilometers in a straight line, and NASA has officially submitted a request for cooperation to us, and the superior has approved it."

"Everyone knows this."

"So now we are facing a new situation-—— the Guanghan base may develop in the direction of an international base, and it is possible to introduce astronauts from other countries."

"In other words, we must adapt the Guanghan base to the needs of other countries."

Having said this, Chen Nian couldn't help frowning slightly.

Adapting to the needs of other countries?

That means that the Guanghan base will be transformed to a certain extent?

Well, it's not too difficult to transform, but I always feel .

"So our problem is that we need to build a training base on the ground and arrange for other interested countries to come and train."

Oh, that's it.

Chen Nian suddenly relaxed again.

He found himself at some point overly pessimistic about the domestic environment.

It's all developed to this extent, how can it be that we still adapt to others? It must be someone else who adapts to us!

Chen Guo continued.

"Xichang is in charge of this work, do you have any difficulties?"

"There is no difficulty-—— if there is one."

"We still hope that astronauts from other countries will first master basic Chinese communication skills, give some budget, and we will build a supporting special Chinese school."

The next discussion was a series of ruffles on budget and details, Chen Nian didn't sound very interesting, but he still listened to the whole process.

To sum up, it is nothing more than a discussion of the specific implementation details of the Guanghan plan, but because this part is too complicated, I am afraid that the content discussed in the four-hour meeting is not even 5%.

It has to be said that this is also a kind of torture.

However, any successful project is tortured in this way.

Fortunately, I don't have to participate next time.

At the end of the meeting, Chen Nian was very "unprofessional" fiddling with his mobile phone in his seat, and just when Chen Guo put away the materials and came over to call him for dinner, a message suddenly popped up in his special mobile phone.

And this information made Chen Nian's eyebrows jump.

"Xiao Nian, there is new progress in the Nantianmen project, come and have a look?"
