Chapter 295: Tranquility in the Midst of the Noise
"Ha, look. I knew it! What did I say? Artificial intelligence? I gotta tell you, AI is a real game changer, absolutely. It's changing our world! But I also said that we have to make sure that we have control over these technologies and that they are not used against us.
We want to lead, and we have to maintain leadership in the field of AI so that we can guarantee that it works for us, for our economy, and for our security. And now you're telling me that a very, very smart intelligence, probably smarter than anybody, is controlling our network? ”
Roman Wiley looked at the iconic bright red tie on the chest of the old man opposite, a little dazed, but still nodded affirmatively.
Well, in fact, he is not so sure, after all, there is no evidence to support it, just a feeling of his.
But at this time he has to be affirmative, and that's enough.
Because Roman Wiley believes that the other party knows very well that it doesn't matter if this is the truth or not, and it doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not, but it is very important that he is willing to disclose this news to the outside world as the former Langley helmsman.
"You know what? I must say that this country is being led by a bunch of fools, I noticed this situation early on and warned about it, but no one paid attention! Not a single one! They have no idea what's going on, these stupid guys and losers are driving the country into the abyss.
Fortunately, more and more people like you are starting to realize their perverse behavior. So tell me, do you have the evidence in your hands? Oh, forget it, I know, you didn't! Those people are stupid, but the fact that you can sit down in front of me means that you can't have any evidence in your hands.
Hey, my brother, tell me, would you like to testify to say this? After all, we need more than strong leadership, we need action, and we need everyone to know that those people are leading them into the abyss! ”
Roman Wiley took a deep breath and said, "Of course, but only if it can keep me safe." ”
"Deal! Well, Romande, you know, I'm busy. Damn, I have so much to deal with. So stop here today, keep in touch with my advisors, and you'll be on the next occasion! As for your request, I understand, you have to trust me, I understand what you need! It's true!
By the way, this hotel is very nice. And there are some exciting services! I've got you covered, and then you can enjoy a perfect holiday. There's one word, oh yes, recharge your batteries! It's a fight, rest up, and join me in this fight! ”
"Yes, sir."
"Remember, our goal is to be great again!" The old man winked at him and smiled you know.
"Yes, sir!"
Watching the old man leave, Roman Wiley suddenly felt that this person was actually quite good, very different from the stereotype in his mind.
In addition to being a little verbose, talking a little more, and a lot of people who don't understand the truth that if they talk too much, they are still very sincere, without that feeling of being superior, and even have a hint of the taste of a corporal of courtesy.
All in all, pretty good.
……
On the other hand, Ruel Smith, who had just begun to get the titular acting director, was sitting in the office of the former Roman Wiley, looking at the materials and thinking about how he could break the game now.
The answer given is to do your best and to leave yourself a way out.
But doing everything is obviously not going to work.
After spending nearly three hours looking at a bunch of materials, Acting Director Smith finally made a decision, and after a few simple operations on the computer, he picked up the phone and said, "Recently, my trip needs to be rescheduled, and I need to meet a few people...... Yes, itineraries are not public. I've sent you the list, arrange to notify me. ”
"Yes, Mr. Smith."
That's all he can do for the time being.
At this point in time, it is actually very embarrassing to be promoted to acting director.
There can be a lot of things that can promise him, but there is a question mark over whether it can be fulfilled.
After all, half a year later, no one can guarantee who will be able to live in No. 1600.
This is a tricky task, and it is to offend people.
How to do it, which step to do, is very testing.
Just take your time.
……
Huaxia, Xilin University of Technology, Institute of Mathematics.
It's noisy outside, but it's always calm.
Qiao Ze was naturally aware of the many small actions of many professors in the institute.
For example, the idea of supercoiled algebra is used to calculate Mersenne primes, and everyone has begun to use new methods to study the content of number theory, trying to find the law of prime numbers and solve those unsolved problems in number theory.
Modern research in mathematics is also accustomed to relying on supercomputing.
The allocation of supercomputing power of the Institute of Data Research is controlled by Doudou. So theoretically, even if the research department of Zheng'er Bajing is not in this small courtyard, there is nothing that can really hide from Qiao Ze. Of course, José is not so boring, and usually doesn't care about this at all.
However, when you need to call up your recent results, you always have to look at your progress and reason a little bit through the content of the check, so that you can know what you have been doing recently.
In this regard, Qiao Ze is naturally in favor.
It's not that the theory that requires a brain break, in fact, José has always felt that researching a new mathematical tool should start with solving problems.
Thinking in the process of solving these problems can lead to a deeper understanding of the entire theoretical system.
It's as if he invented supercoil algebra and transcendental geometry and Joe space in the first place, all in order to solve the Yang-Mills theory and the corresponding mass gap problem.
The most important significance of a series of mathematical problems, including solving Goldbach's conjecture, is actually the invention of new mathematical tools in the process, opening up new horizons and enabling people to understand the natural world more deeply.
In Josser's view, the reason for the existence of mathematics is to provide tools and help for people to understand nature.
This is true even for number theory.
When using supercoiled algebra when solving problems, you will subconsciously think deeply about the whole set of theories, squeeze out all the value, until you find that this set of theories cannot completely solve the problem, and then think about whether you can use new methods to solve this set of problems.
Then mathematics can go one step further, solve problems and ask more questions at the same time, and along with this process, human beings can have a deeper understanding of nature and the universe, until a civilization can completely understand the universe and understand and use those laws that seem to be immutable.
Or before that, human civilization was gone for various reasons.
Then the only way to complete this process is to have other possible civilizations hidden in the depths of the universe to complete this process.
In Qiao Ze's view, the meaning of the existence and evolution of intelligent civilization is probably like this. Otherwise, it would be better for living beings to stay forever in the most primitive era of the jungle, and all kinds of animals and plants will survive according to instinct. So as long as you are willing to use your brain, everything else is a floating cloud.
The awards that bring people honor are proof of that.
In order to keep the intellectual curiosity of the intelligent people alive, the wealthy and visionary reward those who have contributed to science with money and honor. In order to ensure that no matter what era, there is a group of people with sufficient IQ who have the motivation to promote the development of civilization.
In Jozer's perspective, the rationale for scientific research is as simple as that.
It is nothing more than following the instinct of civilization to survive the fittest.
Although the universe in Qiao Ze's imagination is not as cruel as the law of the dark jungle, it is not much brighter.
From the history of the development of human civilization, it can be seen that once life has wisdom, the thirst for resources is engraved in the genes.
As we all know, as long as civilization continues to develop, resources will never be enough. As long as it is insufficient, whether it is to divert contradictions or meet their own development needs, direct grabbing is undoubtedly the most convenient and fast way.
Peace is precious precisely because what is engraved in the genes of living beings cannot be changed.
So if he could, of course José hoped that human civilization would be the first to go out of the earth and grab the cake.
There is no other reason, if war cannot be avoided, the enslaved side is naturally better than the enslaved side, and the former can at least occupy the initiative.
Facts have also proved that just a few decades of peace, that is, everyone has eaten enough for 100 years, can make many people's brains begin to emerge with the idea of Our Lady, and all kinds of ideas about being kind to life begin to proliferate.
This is enough to show that the species that are hatched in this environment of the earth will still be honest and be slaves in the future.
After all, everyone is good at dying.
If it really develops to the level of cosmic civilization, the war may be a slaughter of life on an entire planet.
Of course, these things were just a few laps in Qiao Ze's mind in the dead of night.
In fact, Qiao Ze didn't think about things that were too far away.
His main focus now is on implicit quantum models.
Although he had accurately predicted the existence of gravitons and devised a set of equations to describe the way in which gravitons interact with Higgs bosons and how they move, he still failed to complete the entire mathematical model containing quantum theory.
At present, supercoiled algebra has provided a mathematical framework for his theory to deal with supersymmetry, while transcendental geometry has provided a new perspective to understand and describe the structure of quantum space-time.
However, how to comprehensively construct and understand quantum gravity within a non-perturbation framework is still an open question. Especially at the limits of high energy or strong gravitational fields, the nonlinear nature of the theory makes it difficult to deal with the complexity of supercoiling algebra and transcendental geometry.
Moreover, Qiao Ze's ultimate goal is to solve the problem of microscopic and macroscopic unity, so it is also necessary to solve the problem of space-time singularity predicted by general relativity.
For now, the supersymmetry and transcendence geometry provided some solutions by supercoiled algebra, but how to completely solve the singularity problem without sacrificing theoretical consistency and physical observability was a huge challenge even for Josser.
Then there is the quantum entanglement and space-time structure problems that feed countless pseudo-science popularizers.
Although quantum entanglement and ultra-distance interaction are not as weird as many science popularizers say, they can be explained by existing theories. However, theoretically, the gravitons that transmit gravity are also part of the quantum, and they also have the effect of entanglement at a distance.
Although transcendental geometry can provide a new perspective for understanding the geometry and topology of quantum states, how to accurately relate graviton entanglement to the quantum geometry of space-time and describe the dynamic interaction between them is also a big problem.
Finally, there's dark matter and dark energy.
Although it has never been observed, even quantum theory cannot explain the fact that the mass of the observable universe is far from sufficient. Therefore, how to accurately link quantum entanglement with the quantum geometry of space-time and describe the dynamic interaction between them is also an urgent but difficult problem to solve at this stage.
The most important thing is that there are still some previous papers that can be referred to in previous studies.
However, using the tools he developed to study these problems, there is really almost no meaningful reference, and it is completely dependent on brain power to think about those complex space-time structures and conceive the corresponding mathematical structures.
This is also the reason why Qiao Ze felt tired some time ago and had to suspend his research in this area to solve the reason why Gechai rested his brain.
The challenge of the pinnacle of intelligence is to be prepared to solve this series of problems on your own, and finally unify the micro and macro under a large framework. At the same time, it is necessary to unify the four basic forces.
This framework not only provides a detailed and accurate description of the microscopic world, but also explains why most of the masses in galaxies cannot be observed.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely the most challenging scientific problem in the history of human civilization. Normally, it will take several generations to see if we can touch the edge of this series of problems.
At best, we can say that we have touched the boundaries of this core issue.
If this series of problems can really be solved, it will represent a leap in science and technology.
As Edward Witten has previously judged, solving the graviton problem alone could lead to a series of applications based on these theories. For example, gravitational energy conversion devices, gravitational engines, and so on......
If this framework is really constructed, it is probably not far from the fact that human beings can really leave the earth to develop new worlds.
So it can only be used as a long-term plan.
Optimistic as Qiao Ze is not sure that he will be able to solve this problem completely in his life.
His goal is to advance the research of this work as much as possible, and in the process, to develop as many mathematical tools as possible that can be used to study these problems, and if he cannot solve the problem completely, at least leave enough intellectual legacy for the next generation of humans to solve these problems once and for all.
Probably the happiest thing for José in this process is that he can solve many puzzles.
For example, Edward Witten and his teammates verified the existence of gravitons based on the models and equations he provided, which also made the picture of the microscopic world in his mind clearer and more concrete, which was very happy.
So after a short break, he solved the Goldbach conjecture and found that the Riemann conjecture was still difficult to solve, so he put his main energy back on the research of this problem.
Others, such as deep-sea cluster scientific exploration systems, material models, or the discovery of new elements, are just minutiae, or by-products of mainline research, and are only used to adjust life.
After all, Qiao Ze has gradually come to understand the social nature of people.
He wants to do his own research freely, and after all, he needs someone to help him.
For example, the Licheng Group hosted by Su Lixing is his back road.
He was unhappy at Xilin University of Technology, and he could set up a research institute belonging to his own unit in Xilin Licheng at any time to continue the research of this kind of proposition. And there will be no repercussions. Xilin Licheng's ability to attract gold is enough to ensure that his research continues.
So now Jozer doesn't mind spending a little bit of energy on something to bring his relationship closer together.
And Jozer found that it didn't take much time for him to do these things.
It's nothing more than an occasional concern.
With the cooperation of Doudou, the engineers of each R&D center have been able to complete the task perfectly.
Although Doudou is really not good at scientific research, it has shown extremely strong ability to do resource allocation.
In particular, the control of human resource management.
Qiao Ze felt that even if he did it himself, he couldn't do it as well as Doudou.
The most important thing is that Doudou has an innate advantage, and the rules it sets are fair by default to everyone. And it's really useless to find someone.
When the fair value is almost full, and Doudou is willing to spend money, it is enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of those engineers in the research center to the highest degree. Not only that, but even the students who signed the agreement to help in the R&D center burst out with great enthusiasm for their work.
Because as long as you have done something and registered, the contribution points will be reflected in the system, and the bonuses and subsidies are directly sent to the student's personal account without going through the tutor. At least on a small scale, it can be regarded as achieving more work and more rewards in the real sense.
The reason why it is a small scale is mainly that only Xilin Licheng intends to introduce the Doudou system. In other places, it is said that there are units that want to introduce it, but when it is known that people cannot actively control and modify the system, there is no follow-up.
Of course, Qiao Ze is not even interested in implementing this system, let alone taking the initiative to recommend others to use it. He knew very well how much resistance there would be if other units really wanted to advance the system. No matter how advanced the technology involving fundamental interests is, it is impossible to advance it without a suitable opportunity.
But Doudou's claws, or the influence of resource allocation, are still slowly expanding.
The opportunity is naturally the supply chain of deep-sea cluster exploration systems.
Enterprises that are included in the supply chain, employees on the production line of related products must be included in the system, and the salary system does not care, but the additional bonus should be distributed according to a series of indicators such as production efficiency, product quality, yield rate, etc.
So strictly speaking, everyone has a very fulfilling life.
This includes Doudou, but some things always happen out of place.
No one can do it.
