The Three-Eyed scientists living in human civilization have always had a very strange feeling.

The scientific research task is indeed very heavy, everyone is very busy, and every day when you wake up, you have to face almost endless problems, and you need to be nervous to deal with it all the time, but ......

They always feel like they're not doing scientific research, they're playing games.

It's like some game of control. For example, I'm manipulating a game character to build a city here. I don't have to build the city brick by brick, I just need to draw up the style and size of the city and some parameters, then issue an order, and the next moment, the game system will build the city for me on its own.

Or maybe I need to build a spectral analyzer with a specific parameter – a specific type of spectrometer that doesn't exist in civilization yet. I also don't need to study what kind of parts are needed to build this optical spectrum analyzer, what kind of structure to use, I just need to issue a command, and the system will immediately produce the instrument that meets the standard.

It's like a game.

Three-Eyed scientists only need to take on those creative, innovative tasks. Other than that, all transactional, detailed tasks are left unattended.

They're like designers, they just need to design a building. After that, the building needs to be fed where the materials come from, how many workers need to be called, how many salaries need to be paid, how the workers are organized, how to arrange the construction sequence, and so on, all of which are ignored.

Because Chen Yue is here. Chen Yue undertook all the transactional and detailed work with his huge computing power.

This has created great convenience for the work of scientists. Here, the efficiency of a scientist can even reach more than 100 times that of a scientist in an ordinary social intelligent civilization.

Sometimes, even Chen Yue himself would secretly sigh: "If scientists could have such treatment in the original human civilization, then maybe human civilization would have become a real third-level civilization long ago." ”

But he also knew that it was impossible. This is not about whether a civilization attaches importance to scientific development, but whether ordinary social intelligent civilizations simply do not possess such capabilities. Only a special existence like oneself can do this kind of thing.

Judging from the current statistics, in the overall scientific development, the scientists of the Three-Eyed family have contributed at least 1.2%. In other words, 98.8% of scientific breakthroughs and progress were made by Chen Yue independently.

1.2% may seem low, but it's actually quite high, and it's surprisingly high. You must know that at this moment, the number of Three-Eyed scientists is only about 100,000.

And in the key scientific research of a civilization to a third-level civilization, only about 100,000 scientists can make a contribution of 1.2%, and if this proportion is known by the rest of the civilizations, I am afraid that they will be scared to death.

"It's a unique advantage for me. Therefore, within 80 years, I will definitely be able to break through from a second-level high-level civilization to a third-level civilization. ”

Chen Yue is full of confidence in this.

Time passed slowly. In this remote corner of the Milky Way, in the ordinary star system of the solar system, countless systems, countless spaceships, countless factories, and countless research centers are running like an unimaginably large, but also unimaginably sophisticated and efficient machine under the unified organization and drive of Chen Yue.

In Ganymede, a supercomputing center, a mathematical research institute, Zhao Wei, a mathematician who gave himself a human name according to human civilization and culture, has just finished his work today.

Today's work is still not going well. He thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know how many pieces of paper he had written, but he still couldn't come up with a rigorous model and method. This means that he doesn't even have to use supercomputing power to perform calculations.

"Zhao Wei! The supervisor is looking for you. ”

A colleague hurriedly chased after him from behind, calling his name from afar. Zhao Wei stopped, turned around, and responded sullenly: "Okay." ”

It wasn't until he walked away that several colleagues behind him, who were also experts in the field of mathematics, quietly began to talk.

"The director is going to persuade him again, right?"

"I guess so. Hey, Zhao Wei, this young man, is so talented, but it's a pity that he has drilled the tip of the horns, so he has to waste his mathematical talent. ”

"Now is the critical moment for our civilization to tackle key problems, and he has something wrong with his brain, so he has to study those things. Even if he did, would it be useful? It is still necessary to study more computer-related topics and help leaders improve computing power. ”

"It is." Li Qun's model changes in infinite dimensional space', what can this thing be used for? Extend Li Qun to the infinite dimensional space? There's no application scenario. ”

Group theory is an extremely important branch of mathematics. The term Li Qun is not a personal name, but a branch of group theory. What Zhao Wei is doing at the moment is to extend Li Qun's research method to the infinite dimensional space, which is used to describe some laws in the infinite dimensional space.

……

Zhao Wei walked into the supervisor's office sullenly.

The director's three eyes were full of affinity. He looked at Zhao Wei with a smile: "Sit." How about recent research, have there been any breakthroughs? ”

"Not yet. There have been no breakthroughs lately. ”

Zhao Wei was obviously a little depressed. He touched his head with some distress and muttered, "It should be my wrong way of thinking." I'm going to try again tomorrow with a different way of thinking. ”

The director smiled: "Zhao Wei, I know that you are a mathematical genius, very talented in mathematics. But...... Pure math makes no sense. Don't let it turn into a game of symbols, and don't turn it into a tool for showmanship. Really useful mathematics depends on whether there are application scenarios. I feel like you've walked into this misunderstanding right now. ”

Zhao Wei was a little excited, as if he had been insulted: "Director, this is pure mathematics!" It's not a game of symbols, it's not a tool for showmanship! It is pure, pure mathematics! ”

"I know, I know."

The supervisor pressed down with both hands and stopped Zhao Wei, who was a little excited: "But mathematics is never pure. Mathematicians must also have realistic contributions to be valuable. Indeed, the leader has great engineering skills and can build many supercomputing centers, and even such an unpopular project that you are working on can be open to the supply of computing power.

But...... Don't take a leader's generosity for granted. Think about it, if we are in an ordinary civilization, is it possible for the project you are researching to apply for funding and supercomputing power? ”
