Chapter 464: Countdown, Dinner, Geology (5k)(2/2)
It was so delicious that I almost scared the chef because of my excessive appetite.
"Are you Tristan Laurent's daughter? I have only seen your family portrait in elementary school in photos... I have to say that the death of a Speech Spirit Listener owner is a huge loss to the geological community, even if he
He did not participate in much scientific research during his lifetime."
Not long after he sat down, Mr. Turing lowered his head and started using his laptop, chatting about the life experience of the former head of the Laurent family:
"I remember that Tristan graduated from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and was considered a junior fellow of Pompeii Gattuso... I actually took the time to read both of their doctoral theses."
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, although not as world-famous as Harvard and Stanford, is the number one technical university in Europe and is rich in Nobel Prize winners. The alumni list includes names such as Röntgen, Pauli and Einstein that illuminate the history of science.
.
"A doctoral thesis in geology? I didn't expect you to do research on these things."
Ange looked at the two outsiders, Zhao Qing and Shi Yiguang, for a few moments, then turned around and replied: "But before talking about boring content like a paper, it's better to eat first, so as not to lose the freshness of the dishes."
"That's right." Mr. Turing nodded in agreement.
So under the light of the living room, the waiters who were constantly shuttling began to serve the dishes one by one in a light and orderly manner. The dishes were delicious, delicious and mouth-watering.
The British-style Angus steak is tender and paired with the crispiness of Yorkshire pudding, which is endlessly memorable. The Scottish gravy dumplings are juicy and delicious, and the smoked salmon roll exudes a light seafood aroma. The Cumbrian ham is as thin as a cicada.
, the Welsh grilled lamb chops are full of aroma.
The Chinese dishes placed on either side of Zhao Qing are equally tempting. The dry-roasted prawns are bright in color, the Huadiao steamed Dungeness crab is tender and smooth, the roasted duck in the open oven has crispy skin and tender meat, and Mapo tofu is spicy and fragrant. Every dish is delicious.
Imbued with a rich, oily luster.
The dazzling array of cutlery, forks and dishes reflects the charming candlelight, and the bouquets and exquisite trays that are big enough to be used as screens add to the elegant atmosphere. The intricately carved dishes are as if each piece is a work of art, which makes people unable to resist.
I want to savor it carefully.
After tasting for a while, he recorded the taste of these dishes. Considering that Zhao Qing, as the brain-body-god, does not need the energy contained in the food, he stopped eating chopsticks, grabbed a glass of non-alcoholic cocktail, and secretly observed
Turned up the computer screen on Turing's side.
The content displayed above turned out to be black and white squares that moved and changed in the grid. They seemed to be regular. When she asked Eva, she learned the name of this thing: Conway's Game of Life, Yuan
A type of cellular automaton.
This is a famous "game" invented by John Conway, a mathematician at the University of Cambridge, in 1970. It simulates the evolution of life in nature. It sets up a cellular automaton in a simple world.
This world is composed of an infinite square grid cell plane. Cells can have two states: "life" or "death", and they will evolve iteratively in discrete time.
Under the constraints of four basic rules, cells in the game of life can evolve from a simple initial state to highly complex features over time, such as a giant structure composed of several cells that can reproduce and reproduce itself.
Theoretically speaking, this is already a two-dimensional artificial life that can simulate the various processes of free development, competition, survival, and destruction in the biological world, and may be able to reveal the origin of life.
Conway boldly predicted that as long as you give me a large enough square space and wait long enough, in principle, you can create anything you want in the "Life" game, including cosmic bodies, evolved creatures, and even
Intelligent life that can write a Ph.D thesis.
Such an evolutionary program developed based on computers naturally attracted Turing's attention. Similarly, Zhao Qing was amazed by the creativity of modern humans and looked forward to the secrets hidden in it.
She couldn't help but think of her past research results on demon species, the combined structure of vitality and life, and gained more in-depth insights and views on the parts of the dragon clan's spirit that involve the spirit body, as well as the life consciousness simulated by the alchemy matrix.
""Research on Geological Environmental Changes and Ancient Human Evolution at the End of the Quaternary Period", I have to say, is a topic that is highly relevant to the dragon civilization. It is really a pity that Tristan did not continue to explore it..."
As a research-oriented elderly mixed-race species, Mr. Turing did not eat much. He stopped after eating a little and talked about the so-called doctoral thesis topic again:
"Ten thousand years ago, there was a magnitude 10 earthquake centered on Rben; twelve thousand years ago, there was a global geomagnetic drift event. The geomagnetic field dropped to 6% of its original value in a few decades, and the magnetic poles first reversed and then rebounded.
Recovery; Thirteen thousand years ago, a super fire covered one-tenth of the entire earth's surface and burned tens of millions of square kilometers of forest... This sounds all related to the dragon civilization at that time."
The tenth-magnitude earthquake ten thousand years ago. Wasn't this a disaster caused by the first Yamata no Orochi? It turns out that the paper translated by Long 3 Pompeii came from here. Zhao Qing on the side listened patiently and couldn't help but think deeply.
, which lists a timeline of relevant geological events.
