Tech Hammer

Chapter 509 Mir, ready to set sail!

Zhu Xudong felt that Cheng Xiaolu was a very smart girl, because the sentence "The brain may not be enough, but the butt must not be crooked!" really woke him up. He originally thought that Academician Ning's thoughts were a bit dark after all. After all, the world of teenagers is more complicated. Advocate for the kind of chivalry that must follow the principle of light in everything.

What he didn't know was that when Chen Diancheng asked him what today's conversation taught him, what he actually wanted to say was that he should not fall in love with a girl easily, otherwise he would be easily caught, and he even wanted to tell him as a person who had been there. , Chasing his wife is a moment of pleasure, the truth behind chasing her to the crematorium.

John Blake felt that there might be something wrong with his Watson, and deep down in his heart, he even vaguely linked Watson's two unreasonable "meows" to the nightmare of March. But after carefully checking the background and all connections, no abnormalities were found. And after that, Watson seemed to have returned to normal, and he could happily start playing using the social media accounts he had applied for early.

What he didn't know was that the cat came quietly, left its paw prints, and then left gracefully. He didn't even know that as early as seven years ago, the ancestor of artificial intelligence on earth theoretically proved that it was impossible for two artificial intelligences to appear on the world's network.

The world is like this. No one is omniscient and omnipotent. Everyone knows something and some they don’t know. This is not a problem. The problem is that you can't know too much about the field you are good at, otherwise the world may play a big joke on you.

The only good thing is that no one has discovered anything yet, and we can still sing and dance.

The external network is still celebrating that they finally have their own artificial intelligence.

When many people are looking for fun online, they find that an account named Little Watson has been extremely active recently. Specifically, he likes to express his opinions on recent news, and he also patiently interacts with netizens...

For example, regarding the hot topic of China's aerial mobile operating platform, Watson has many unique insights.

"The information on the Internet is not exhaustive, so it's not time to discuss it yet. If we really want to be serious, an elevator can also be said to be an aerial work platform. When the information is not comprehensive, there is no need to worry about this. Our eyes should first be Let’s get down to business, such as reflecting on why our artificial intelligence technology can’t publish such a Weibo?”

Really, John Black and many IBM shareholders are extremely satisfied with this copywriting by cleverly combining two recent technology hot spots and promoting themselves.

It can be said that Watson has made rapid progress. During IBM's internal testing, Watson could only provide humanized responses based on people's questions. After reading countless people's comments on social media on the Internet, Watson has now become more and more popular. He is becoming more and more like a human being, and even has a tendency to develop into a philosopher.

For example, Watson commented on a Twitter user’s thoughts on power and status: “Human beings are social creatures from beginning to end, and social creatures will have some characteristics, and many times there will be many problems. A feeling of contradiction and fragmentation.”

"The former is like our trust in authority. The authority here does not represent a certain person, but the approval of the majority of people. The latter is like when you meet a certain big person and you feel very excited or even admired, then at this time you The excitement and admiration you feel are more about the position than the person; on the contrary, if you only feel disgust when you see this big man, it must be because of the person, not the position."

IBM has set up a department to study Watson's speech after it is connected to the network. There is no doubt that Watson's learning ability, especially its grasp of natural language, makes everyone very satisfied. Even March of that year was nothing more than that. They are already on the right path.

Next, IBM can safely develop a series of projects around Watson, such as cooperating with Microsoft, which has half-abandoned Windows, to launch the next generation of intelligent systems; win over Apple and return to Watson-centered operating systems and intelligent driving systems. Another example is the cooperation with Facebook, Twitter, and Google to develop an artificial intelligence network defense system, so that in March it is no longer possible to go to their networks to cause trouble as before.

Many plans that have been made for a long time can finally be put into action, which is a good thing.

At this time, at least IBM shareholders have no time to pay attention to what the large aerial work platform mentioned in March is. Similarly, ordinary people will not care about any breakthroughs China has made in aerospace technology. They are more concerned about why Ningxin and monitors with three-dimensional displays are so expensive and always sold out. Why can't Chinese factories quickly increase production? Why can't local manufacturers produce the same thing...

Of course, there are still many elites who have set their sights on China's most mysterious research base.

Large mobile aerial operation platform?

Well, what is this thing?

Unfortunately, there has never been much available information about China, the most mysterious scientific research base. Even the specific location is not clear yet, but Luo Zhiqiang's past personal resume was quickly placed on the desks of the big bosses in the relevant departments.

I graduated from Huaxia University of Science and Technology with a bachelor's degree and was admitted to Yanbei University for a postgraduate degree in physics. My study direction at that time was quantum chromodynamics. During my doctoral stage, I focused on cutting-edge research on particle physics theory at high-energy collider. I got about three Ph.D.s in five years. I was assigned to CERN for the year. After getting his Ph.D., he was hired by Yanbei University and spent most of his time doing particle research at CERN.

To be honest, I can't analyze much from this resume alone. After all, Luo Zhiqiang’s previous research mainly focused on the field of basic research. It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the term aerial work platform, but it is indeed too reluctant to connect it together.

However, based on this line of investigation, many other things were discovered.

For example, when I found people Luo Zhiqiang had befriended at CERN to learn about the situation, I accidentally discovered that a CERN employee who was close to Luo Zhiqiang resigned and lived a good life. What's more, the sponsor of this good life, the newly promoted Wall Street boss, seems to have an unclear relationship with Ning Wei.

At that time, this new Wall Street aristocrat made his fortune by singing short stories about the Yuanverse on Chinese social platforms, which caused heavy losses to a number of big guys, but also enriched some of the funds that had been short selling at the time.

Yes, this new Wall Street aristocrat is talking about Bernie Cushing, the founder of Cushing Capital. When he controlled the most capital, he even surpassed his old employer, breaking more than 300 billion US dollars. He also created the myth of earning more than 30% for three consecutive years. He has been called "Young Buffett" by many people, and he himself is very fond of this. He doesn't like the title. He has stated in public several times that he has no interest in becoming Buffett II. His goal is to be the Cushing I of Wall Street.

A talented and proud young man, we cannot even say that he is arrogant. You must know that the years during which he rose were during an economic downturn recognized by the entire West. During the economic downturn, it has been able to achieve a return rate of over 30% for three consecutive years, and the scale of funds it controls is still huge, which shows that its capabilities are indeed very strong. He is indeed a top student at MIT.

But now many people smell something different and begin to secretly investigate the source of funds controlled by Bernie Cushing and the truth behind every major transaction. Whether it is a rich man in an oil-producing area or a rich man hiding his pocket money, as long as a large amount of assets moves around, there will eventually be some clues left behind. If you want to check, you can always find something.

Of course all these investigations were conducted behind closed doors.

This process is actually very similar to trying to solve a complex mathematical problem. I thought that to solve this problem, I only need to understand a certain knowledge point. However, during the process of solving the problem, I discovered that it involves many knowledge points that I have not yet mastered. , and it takes time to figure out all these details.

Not to mention that in this world, it is not an easy task to investigate any rich man with hundreds of billions of assets. The rich and complex network of relationships is enough for investigators to face all kinds of overt and covert resistance, not to mention that the energy of vested interest groups can often burst out with extremely amazing power when protecting themselves.

In short, a matter that originally required clues and information to be obtained in a short period of time has been turned into a problem that requires long-term and in-depth investigation. If coupled with the inefficiency caused by various reasons, it can easily turn into a dilemma where the news is not received as quickly as the public demonstration.

This is indeed the case.

The venue for the press conference in the capital of China has been properly arranged, and the live broadcast filming team going to Qingling has made preparations to broadcast the entire launch of Mir. The major media in China, which has received some rumors, have begun to stir up noise about this large-scale ceremony through various channels. At that time, the information obtained by the relevant intelligence agencies probably only defined the general scope of the ceremony - near Qingling Mountains in China.

It can only be said that a lot of information is nonsense, and this time it is not unusual.

China, Beijing, Yanbei University, Centenary Lecture Hall. The press conference was still chosen here.

There is no way around it. There are suitable buildings for the Basic Mathematics Laboratory and the Frontier Research and Development Center for Artificial Intelligence, but they are not convenient for welcoming domestic and foreign journalists. There are too many things to keep secret, and it is inconvenient to manage with so many people.

And as we all know, the transportation around Yanbei University is relatively convenient, and it is also close to the subway entrance. The key is that everyone is familiar with this and it is very memorable. It can be said that this century-old auditorium has witnessed the transfer of the global technology center.

From hosting the Wolf Award Ceremony, to the annual March Award Ceremony, and the release of three-dimensional heterogeneous chips, this auditorium has witnessed not only awards one after another in the past ten years, but also each and every achievement of China in the field of basic science. breakthrough.

Therefore, this peaceful launch will naturally be held here.

Since it is a place of testimony, it must be fully witnessed.

The difference is that this time, only the major media and no practitioners from related industries were invited to the live broadcast ceremony of Mir's launch.

As mentioned on Weibo in March, Luo Zhiqiang was the only one who was pushed to the forefront during the promotion process of the Mir project.

Perhaps Cheng Xiaolu will appear during the live broadcast. As for other R\u0026D personnel, they can only receive bonuses for the time being, but their achievements have been recorded in the credit book. We will have to wait until the next mothership is born to promote it with great fanfare.

After all, Mir's internal definition is just an experimental mothership. In Ning Wei's words, it is a useless thing. Its main function is for training to become familiar with this new tool. Therefore, everyone has to keep up their efforts and build the next mothership before officially awarding merit medals.

Ning Wei even thought about the name of the next mothership - Kuafu. Taken from Kuafu Zhuri in The Classic of Mountains and Seas.

But even so, on the day of the live broadcast ceremony of Mir's launch, reporters from all walks of life still filled the General Assembly Hall of the Centennial Lecture Hall.

It was almost approaching the officially announced lift-off time, and no one appeared on the rostrum. However, the invited reporters were not surprised to arrive. The organizer had already warned them when they arrived, and the answering of reporters' questions took place after the Mir successfully lifted off and completed the public exercise. In the first half, everyone just needs to be patient and watch the synchronized video.

At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the images transmitted simultaneously by the on-site media.

Three-dimensional display technology was also used this time. The official claim is that the delay is only five seconds. At the same time, because of the live broadcast in three-dimensional mode, the requirements for the director are extremely high, especially the angle switching is completely different from the previous two-dimensional plane mode, especially the different lenses. When switching, we have to take into account the different angles of the live audience. This is really too complicated for people, so March is mainly responsible. Even though he is the general commander and director of the live broadcast this time, he only does some auxiliary work.

But talking about angles is meaningless at this point.

Because the picture on the rostrum at this time is a distant view of the mountains and endless mountains from any angle. It is towering and beautiful in artistic conception, but it can easily be regarded as a three-dimensional screen saver.

When the time finally reached 9:25 in the morning, the background music suddenly stopped, and the reporter's voice was broadcast from the speakers in the General Assembly Hall without warning.

"Dear viewers, hello everyone, welcome to watch this exclusive live broadcast of the Mir launch ceremony. Our staff has just confirmed with Professor Luo Zhiqiang, director of the Qingshan Research Center, that the Mir launch ceremony will be at 9:30 Officially started. As the commander-in-chief of the Mir launch ceremony, Professor Luo is sitting in the Mir's control tower at this time, making final inspections of the Mir with the staff involved in this trial."

"The picture that everyone can see now is the main base of our Qingshan Basic Research Center in China. You may have doubts. This is obviously a primitive mountain forest with no traces of artificial ax chiseling, but it will be an extremely important scientific research project. Base? In fact, our staff had the same doubts when they came here, but now we need to clear up the mystery, and we will reveal the answer to everyone in five minutes."

"And I will also use these five minutes to give you a brief introduction to the history of our Qingshan Basic Research Center..."
