Chapter Sixteen What did you do last summer?
I don’t know what brand of champagne is. It should be very expensive, but it is not delicious...
Xia Ming is not fearless now, and Yang Shengtang's "black wine preview" still makes him vaguely worried. However, thinking that he is already a "scientist" of Yan University, it is not so easy for Yang Shengtang to go to the white road to punish him. Taking the underworld proves his despicableness and incompetence, Xia Ming doesn't care much about it.
Of course, in order to prevent it, I really have to start thinking about using R3AI to improve my body.
Back at his residence, Li Diluo handed over a thick stack of documents, including an agreement, a business plan, etc., and he was really decent. Even when he saw the technical patent application receipt, Xia Mingxin said that this guy was still steady in doing things, but he was a little...
How to say it, this power-saving APP is not a big deal, and Li Diluo seems to take it too seriously.
Seeing some other documents, Xia Ming frowned: "The company registration and early promotion have been settled? Where did the money come from?"
Li Diluo said dismissively: "Private money, I can't just run errands in this matter."
Xia Ming shook his head: "The stock agreement is there. I should pay the money. How should you calculate it?"
While he was speaking, he used his mobile phone to transfer 100,000 yuan, then remembered the rent, and transferred 6,000 yuan: "Pay three and pay one, and calculate it for one month, 1,000 yuan, is it okay?"
Li Diluo held his cell phone and sniffed: "Naruko, you're sending it!"
Xia Ming smiled and said, "I said that I bought that Armani myself, and you will believe it if you have to receive the rent."
Li Diluo said sadly: "Naruko, your mouth hurts people even harder than me, by the way..."
He said enthusiastically: "You have no objection to the name of the company and the APP? Cicada Technology sounds mysterious, right? Everyone knows that cicadas do not move, and it is amazing if they move! The APP is called Prometheus. I used this name to tell you that the benefits that the hardware should have given us were intercepted by other software. This APP returns the benefits to us, isn't it very similar to Prometheus's fire stealing..."
The company name is a bit low, and the name of the APP is not that long. However, seeing that Li Diluo is so enthusiastic, Xia Ming couldn't splash cold water on him and encouraged him: "It's good, just like that. How to do it specifically? Ask the consulting group more. They are the future swarms. If you have technical problems, please come to me."
Li Diluo nodded: "Those guys from the advisory group are really good, and I have come up with a lot of ideas."
The so-called consulting group is actually the Q group that Xia Ming and Li Diluo added when they were having sex in Kaba. They all play DIY and computer games. They hate those cheating software and games on the market, and often recommend conscience works to each other.
Speaking of which, Xia Ming and Li Diluo have a lot of intersections. When they were freshmen, they played games and mixed cards together. However, one was stinky and the other was slutty, and they did not develop a gay friend-level friendship. When they were sophomore, Xia Ming became a new person, and the relationship between the two became even more distant.
"Then I'll leave it to you," Xia Ming waved his hand and went into the house to retreat.
"Don't underestimate me, Naruto." Li Diluo's eyes flashed with light and he whispered to himself: "I will prove it to you!"
Xia Ming didn't know Li Diluo's oath, and he also faced such a challenge.
He is now only a little broader than a qualified coder and can barely understand what Lin Cheng said. As for what Lin Cheng did, it would be good to be able to understand one-third of it. At this level, entering the core group may be delayed.
His task today is to study the "integrated artificial intelligence platform" built by Professor Xu and Tang Xiaotang, and to understand the specific research topics based on this. When he thinks of understanding these, he may be able to get in touch with the secrets of R3AI, Xia Ming was a little excited.
As before, first enter the information into the brain. These information are papers provided by Professor Xu, Tang Xiaotang and Lin Cheng. Based on some keywords, Xia Ming also collected a large amount of relevant information online. With his input speed of hundreds of lines at a glance, it only took a few hours to enter a million words of information.
Even so, Xia Ming thought the efficiency was too low. He had not given up on the idea of letting his brain connect to the Internet directly. If it could be realized, his learning and research speed could be increased ten times or even a hundred times. During this period, the experience of encrypting APPs for Zhang Zhicheng and helping Lin Cheng get an ARM cluster server gave him some ideas, but now is not the time to start implementing it.
It was already past twelve o'clock when the entry work was over. After having a midnight snack, Xia Ming entered the R3AI management mode and listened to the R3AI report: "The consciousness activity has been improved to 0.04."
Sure enough, it is necessary to use it to improve it? Xia Ming was happy. R3AI said: "The data added by operating the brain in management mode begins to affect the natural operation of the original architecture, predicting that system compatibility problems will occur in the future, and the changes are unpredictable."
Is that right...Is it time to prompt for formatting?
Xia Ming thought so, but R3AI didn't move any more.
Since R3AI did not urge it to format itself, it shouldn't be too troublesome. Xia Ming thought so and began to sort out the information in the consciousness plane.
Professor Xu is an academic authority of artificial intelligence and has profound attainments in quantum physics. He once participated in the design of D-wave quantum computers. Later, Professor Xu proposed that the quantum effect of the brain can be used as a new direction for studying quantum computing and thus promoting the research of artificial intelligence. However, he was regarded as an extreme conjecture by the academic circle as Boltzmann's brain, and was classified as the same as those academic scammers who created the concepts of "quantum life science" and "quantum brain" and sold all kinds of fakes.
Xia Ming hasn't touched quantum physics yet. After all, the system of physics is much larger than mathematics. He has not had that time yet, but the knowledge in quantum computing is still at the level of popular science. After all, even online novels have been used inflated.
Simply put, a data bit of a traditional computer only represents 0 or 1, but a data bit of a quantum computer (Qb) represents 0 and 1 at the same time. In this way, a traditional computer stores an N-bit number, which is only one of 2^N numbers, but an N-bit qubit store all numbers of 2^N. 500 qubits can store 2^500 numbers, which is larger than the number of atoms in the entire universe.
Another major feature of quantum computing is parallel computing, which means that all the numbers represented by quantum bits can be operated simultaneously. For example, a "quantum star" wants to look for Xia Ming on the earth. It does not need to screen out more than 7 billion people step by step according to the characteristics of gender, age, country, and hometown. Instead, it transforms more than 7 billion clones, and each clone corresponds to one person to confirm.
The mainstream direction of quantum computing research is to find how to apply and simplify this "person-to-person" method in practical problems. However, whether it is D-wave's quantum annealing method or the quantum gate circuit that still cannot be touched, Professor Xu believes that this is all the direction of traditional computers, that is, the direction of the structure of Feng Neumann, which can only carry machine intelligence rather than real artificial intelligence.
"Since artificial intelligence is based on humans, why not start from the direction of cloning human intelligence?"
A paper published by Professor Xu in Science, the topic is such a rhetorical question. Of course, the "clear intelligence" here is different from "clear". Professor Xu hopes to use the idea of bionics to create a "simulated brain" that can be used to observe and analyze.
This direction is not a DNA computer that is as hot as quantum computing, but a quantum effect based on the brain.
The statement that the brain has quantum effects is regarded as a disagreement in the academic community. After all, existing science shows that all movements of the brain, such as memory, thinking, etc. come from biochemical reactions of synapses, and there is no evidence that microscopic movements involving quantum superposition states are involved in the reaction process.
However, the so-called "existing science" is also unreliable. Even if you can press a living person into a particle accelerator and blast it at the brain a few times, it will not prove anything. After all, the brain is a complex whole.
The mainstream denies the quantum effect of the brain in the academic world, but is just a reason for inference based on common sense. Quantum motion is at the microscopic level and can only appear at the macroscopic level under extreme conditions (such as cosmic motion and particle accelerator). The brain has neither a super magnetic field nor a particle accelerator, and the matter that constitutes the brain is also very common. How does the quantum move inside have something to do with the brain's thinking?
Professor Xu and many people who advocate the existence of quantum effects in the brain believe that not observing does not mean that there is no phenomenon, and that there is indeed a phenomenon involving quantum motion in the biochemical reaction of nerve synapses. For example, Professor Fisher of the University of California discovered that elements such as phosphorus and calcium that participate in the biochemical reaction of nerve synapses will produce nuclear spins during the reaction process, which produces quantum effects. These "neural qubits" that appear are carried by a carrier called Posner molecules and form a quantum bit memory with a very short existence time. Maybe this is the quantum effect of thinking.
After learning this, Xia Ming also felt that in a sense, the human brain is really similar to the ideal quantum computer.
The brain generally has 14 billion brain cells, and each brain cell has 1,000 to 10,000 neural synapses. Synapses also divide electrical synapses and chemical synapses. Not to mention electrical synapses, each chemical synapse is divided into hundreds or thousands of synapses. Each synapse transmits signals to a large extent due to the different number of transmitter molecules.
Not only is the structure complex, but the movement of the brain is also a parallel architecture. Human thinking does not transmit signals step by step like a computer. Any idea is that billions of brain cells in different areas of the brain are moving at the same time, which is very similar to quantum computing in principle.
Of course, it is definitely far-fetched to link the two, but Professor Xu's research is similar in general.
After understanding this background knowledge, Xia Ming will probably understand what the principle of the "integrated artificial intelligence platform" built by Professor Xu and Tang Xiaotang is.
This platform uses a certain type of crystallized artificial synapses to attach to a special metal mesh in a superconducting environment to simulate the principle of electrical synapses to form a "simulated brain". This is just hardware, and software is a quantum computing method based on quadruple system.
The research conducted by Professor Xu on this platform is somewhat difficult to understand. Simply put, it is to assume that Professor Xu’s academic proposition is correct, and human brain movement is a complex "neural quantum computing", then the "simulated brain" composed of artificial nerve synapses should also have simple neural quantum computing.
Taking this assumption as a research premise, there is no need to start from the quantum effect itself and use particle accelerators to observe changes at the sub-level, but to operate it as a quantum computer. If the operation results are in line with the characteristics of quantum computing, the research will be successful.
It sounds simple, but the actual research is not about running once and getting a result, and you can draw conclusions, but there are many steps and stages.
The design of the simulated brain was completed by Professor Xu, and the operation plan was also formulated by Professor Xu. Tang Xiaotang, the one who really created the simulated brain. She is a PhD in Bioengineering and a PhD in Materials. She crystallized artificial synapses and a special metal mesh that functions as signal input, transmission and output, as well as the construction of the superconducting environment of the entire platform.
"It's true that I have to worship..."
After understanding this platform, Xia Ming sincerely admires Professor Xu and Tang Xiaotang.
Then he was very confused. If there was no problem with these materials and Professor Xu and Tang Xiaotang did not reserve him in principle, such a "simulation brain" would just simulate the operation of the brain at a very rough level. How could it create the R3AI in their own brain?
The more you know, the more you don’t understand. It seems that you have to see it as real…
The next day, Xia Ming walked into the basement and didn't see the sci-fi installation. The control room was filled with racks and a scattered desk. The huge green donut lying across the laboratory had nothing to do with high technology no matter how you look at it.
The donut is about five or six meters in diameter, nearly one meter thick, and with the cement pillars supporting it, it is almost one person tall.
Xia Ming was wandering around the donuts, and Lin Cheng reminded: "When it is running, liquid nitrogen will be added. Don't get close to it, otherwise it will just tear off a layer of skin."
Xia Ming nodded obediently. This donut is a daunting existence in all senses. For example, the R3AI in his mind should have slipped out from here.
Rubbing the green painted steel shell, Xia Ming asked, "What is it called? I mean...this thing should have a code name."
"R3AI", Lin Cheng said the name that was shocked in Xia Ming's heart, and the next sentence made him lose his mind instantly.
"But everyone calls it Qianyan."
"Qianyan..."
The name that had been deep in his heart for more than a year jumped out, making Xia Ming's heart tremble.
"Why, this name?" Xia Ming asked hoarsely, not daring to turn his face, for fear that Lin Cheng would see his strange look.
Lin Cheng shrugged: "Xiaotang took it, she said R3AI is like a thousand-faced person, and our research is to find its true face."
Xia Ming said oh, and his emotions calmed down. It was a coincidence.
In the control room, Tang Xiaotang ignored the two of them and looked at the phone. However, the screen of the phone was Xia Ming's side face, which should have been taken by the camera in the laboratory. The image was very large, and Xia Ming's expression could be clearly seen, astonished, surprised, and sad, and could be seen in his wide eyes and red eyes.
“What did you do last summer?”
Tang Xiaotang murmured in a low voice. Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
