Top academic

"Xiao Zhu, now is not the time for you to think about these things. I understand what you're thinking; I thought the same thing yesterday."

However, after talking with Qiao Yu today, I think the child's idea is actually correct.

He felt that the most urgent task at present was not to organize the entire theory, since this task was too massive.

Think about the generalized modal axioms proposed by Qiao Yu, and how many professors, including yourself, have been working hard to extend it?
Now, more than ten years have passed, and as you know, there are still a lot of problems in disciplines such as group theory and topology that have not been explained.

Therefore, Qiao Yu's idea is to first prove the key steps to solving the existing problems. There's no need to aim too high for now. After all, he's still young.

Zhu Zheng listened patiently to Tian Yanzhen's words, only to feel a headache coming on.

The old man is confused! Or maybe he's been fooled by Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu's laziness, and his increasing laziness, is practically an open secret among the professors of Yanbei and Huaqing. It's just that no one dares to say it, and even less likely to bring it up in front of Tian Yanzhen and Professor Yuan.

Because Qiao Yu still held the title of chief commander of the lunar landing mission, he was often told that he was going on a business trip to the Aerospace Intelligent Center.

But several times when the school contacted him, they found that Qiao Yu wasn't there at all.

Of course, this is understandable. After all, Qiao Yu is still a young man in his twenties. It's only natural that he doesn't want to put all his energy into research and wants to have some fun.

Everyone has been through that stage. Generally, people Qiao Yu's age are pursuing doctoral degrees, and they actually want to have fun too.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to graduate with a PhD in mathematics from a top university, not to mention the pressure from the supervisor. So it's just that I want to have fun but don't have the time.

Qiao Yu obviously doesn't have these problems.

In fact, even if he does nothing now and lives off his past achievements for the rest of his life, no one will be able to spread any rumors about him.

In comparison, Qiao Yu, a wealthy academic, is already very low-key and his hobbies are quite normal.

No one would dare ask Qiao Yu for more.

Even the bodyguard sent by his superiors who always followed Qiao Yu was helping to cover for her from time to time. What else could anyone else say?
After all, it's hard to say that someone like Lao Zheng has any real will of his own.

He helped Qiao Yu explain that the higher-ups also felt that they shouldn't have higher expectations of this young man.

It would be good enough if he could get some guidance from elders like Mr. Yuan and Ms. Tian Yanzhen from time to time.

As for Qiao Xi...

Well, while what this mother said had some merit, and she's currently an assistant researcher, she still lacks authority when it comes to scientific research...

To be honest, Qiao Xi's master's thesis was supervised by Qiao Yu.

But other matters are best left alone; Zhu Zhengze doesn't intend to waste any more words.

Given the situation today, he felt he had to say a few more words.

"Professor Tian, ​​although Academician Qiao is right, think about it, the importance and impact of his research this time may be even more profound than the generalized modal axiomatic system!"
Moreover, mathematicians are only creatively at their peak for a few years. Qiao Yu is indeed still young, but he'll be thirty in a few years.

Of course, I can understand that young people like trendy things. But for such an important research group project, and for him to be the leader, it won't actually take much time..."

Zhu Zhengze put it very tactfully, but he believed that Tian Yanzhen would definitely understand.

Although no one mentioned Qiao Yu's situation to Elder Yuan and Elder Tian, ​​Zhu Zhengze believed that the two bigwigs must have heard about it.

The fact that Yuan Longping recently pressured Qiao Yu to work on a new research project is clear evidence of this.

If Yuan Longping hadn't entrusted Qiao Yu with solving the difficult problem of the Navier-Stokes equations, none of this would have happened today.

There would have been no Tao Xuanzhi publishing Qiao Yu's thoughts and ideas on his blog, sparking a discussion throughout the mathematics community.

Unfortunately, his words only elicited a long sigh from Old Tian on the phone.

"Hey……"

Just as Zhu Zhengze was wondering, Tian Yanzhen's voice drifted over.

"I know that, but Qiao Yu has a new idea and wants to do something big."

From my perspective, it's really not a good idea to pressure him to work on this project at this point.

Of course, if you are really interested, you can apply to the National Natural Science Foundation of China and take the lead in doing it.

"Try to talk to Qiao Yu more often; she's quite easy to talk to in these matters."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhengze became even more puzzled.

How could he possibly convince Tian Yanzhen to stop pressuring him to expand the theory by doing something else?
"Um, Mr. Tian, ​​would you mind telling me what Qiao Yu is planning to do?"

"This isn't an encrypted call, so it's not convenient to talk about it. Go to Taiji Chain. I'll leave you a message there."

Taiji Chain is an intelligent encrypted chat software developed based on the Taiji quantum simulation computer.

In terms of communication security, it can be said to have achieved the ultimate.

The specific principle is to use the Taiji double potential well model developed by FineRain Technology to control a set of quantum trajectories generated by the potential well spacing Δx.

The keys generated by this model are in fragment form.

When text or multimedia data is sent, it is directly mapped to a high-dimensional jo space, and each mapped data contains multiple topological orders.

The recipient's computer software must be logged into their own account to ensure that all holographic boundary conditions correspond one-to-one in order to restore the message.

Even if the information is intercepted, it will only be a jumble of gibberish.

Moreover, even if you leave the software after using it without closing it, it will not lead to information leakage.

Because the software is connected to multiple hardware devices on the computer, including the webcam, it automatically locks the chat content whenever the user leaves temporarily.

The information can only be read again after the user returns and the code is re-decoded. This essentially eliminates the possibility of information leakage.

Of course, this encryption technology can only be used on quantum simulation computers.

This is why many research institutions, including the International Mathematical Union, have gradually replaced their computers with the Taiji series in recent years.

While giving face to China is one aspect, the Taiji series quantum simulation computer is the best choice from both an information security perspective and from the user's point of view.

Moreover, it is said that the next generation of quantum simulation computers is about to be released. The high-end version, primarily for corporate use, will be subject to sales restrictions.

They will only be sold to users who have previously purchased Taichi high-end computers.

Moreover, the reasons given sound quite reasonable.

Only by using Taiji's top-of-the-line super quantum simulation computer can the next generation of quantum simulators be effectively used.

In the past, this might have drawn widespread criticism, but these days, internationally, nobody really says anything.

Life goes on, and there are things watching from above, so we must have at least a basic respect for Chinese enterprises.

After entering the pass, there were indeed great Confucian scholars who would help debate the classics day and night, and the debates were comprehensive. Coupled with the various shady operations of Xida University in recent years, almost any decision could find a theoretical basis.

Moreover, China's various foreign policies are far more convincing than those of the West in any respect. Of course, the main reason is that China values ​​its reputation and insists on having a legitimate reason for its actions, rather than adopting the old practice of simply grabbing whatever it wants, a practice inherited from the Age of Exploration.

……

Zhu Zhengze casually clicked on the Taiji Chain on his computer and logged into his account.

Although the software does not have an automatic login function, especially since this computer is shared by several professors, it is impossible to set up automatic login.

Fortunately, although the math alliance was rather stingy in terms of quantity when purchasing, they still bought high-end equipment.

Therefore, well-adapted software like this comes with built-in biometric login functionality.

Simply scan your fingerprint at a designated spot on the monitor or show your face in front of the camera to log in to your account with one click – it’s incredibly convenient.

Other software that is compatible with Tai Chi hardware devices is generally compatible.

Of course, now virtually all software companies around the world have proactively adapted for quantum simulation computers.

It's not that these companies are being kind; it's just that the market for quantum simulation computers has already opened up, and the ecosystem is almost ready to be built.

Especially with giants like Google and Microsoft taking the lead and cooperating, other developers don't even have the right to make demands.

A few years ago, Apple's newly appointed CEO used this incident to make sarcastic remarks about Google and Microsoft at the launch event of Apple's new products.

However, neither Google nor Microsoft retaliated nor held a grudge.

The main issue is that Apple's lifespan is now nearing its end.

China has launched a quantum-simulated mobile phone. It can be used independently or directly communicate with a quantum-simulated computer port.

Meanwhile, the virtual screen function of the Tai Chi series was also ported to mobile phones. Although it was expensive, it sold out immediately upon release.

They're vying for Apple's high-end customers.

But the most fatal flaw was that after stealing away those truly high-end customers, Apple was dethroned.

Even those Apple customers who aren't particularly high-end no longer consider Apple when buying a phone.

After all, using Apple products used to have a social aspect. People could also say that iOS was well-optimized, with no ads or plugins.

But now all those advantages are gone.

Apple's latest financial report shows a 70% drop in global sales. In just two years, the company has laid off a total of 13 employees worldwide.

Their stock prices have long since plummeted to an abysmal level. Google and Microsoft, on the other hand, are doing quite well; although their stock prices have halved compared to their peak, at least they're still alive.

Of course, these were not things that Zhu Zhengze cared about.

Both Yanbei University and Tsinghua University have a stake in Xiyu Technology, so the professors also benefit from it, always able to get their hands on the latest products at internal prices.

That's roughly the price after deducting the various patent fees charged by Xiyu Technology.

Although the discounts aren't many, you should know that when these electronic products were first released, you had to fight for them to buy them.

Even if you get the goods immediately, you can sell them at double the price.

In addition, Zhu Zhengze himself doesn't care much about digital products. He now hopes that many of the software programs on the Taiji computer can be adapted to mobile phones as soon as possible.

This way, I won't have to switch computers to operate the system when I make a phone call anymore.

Soon after, a message came from Tian Yanzhen's profile picture on the Taiji Chain.

Instead of using voice chat, the other party sent a text message.

"Which industry do you think will benefit most from Qiao Yu's new theory?"

Zhu Zhengze was speechless once again.

Why is Old Tian still keeping him in suspense even though we're already having an encrypted chat?

Is he addicted to showing off his own students? If it were someone else, Zhu Zhengze would definitely reply, "Everyone's time is important, can't you just say so?"
It's a pity that the person opposite him is Professor Tian, ​​the mentor of the world's most outstanding mathematician, a big shot who can decide his fate by lying on his list of achievements.

Therefore, Zhu Zhengze not only dared not refute it, but also took it as a test and began to carefully consider the meaning of those formulas and how to derive them.

Two seconds later, Zhu Zheng quickly replied: "Computer?"

"More or less, it should be said that machine learning and artificial intelligence, or more specifically, general artificial intelligence."

Haven't you noticed? According to the architecture proposed by Qiao Yuxin, the human cognitive process can also be mapped to geometric objects.

The perception layer is like a tangent TX to the corresponding manifold X, used to dynamically capture sensory input.

The memory network can be constructed using the harmonic form space in M(X) to extend the system's memory.

The inference engine is driven by generalized covariant derivatives to perform tensor contraction operations on concepts. Do you think that makes sense?

Zhu Zhengze gasped.

Goodness, no wonder Professor Tian wasn't in a hurry to let Qiao Yu do this project. Is Qiao Yu going to start working on artificial intelligence again?
While artificial intelligence is already quite powerful at present, it must be acknowledged that there is still a long way to go before achieving true general artificial intelligence.

The most critical problem is that current artificial intelligence is still at the stage of knowing what it is but not why it is.

After all these years, the current artificial intelligence technology is still essentially a pattern fitter in a high-dimensional tensor space.

Its operation follows nothing more than a paradigm based on maximum likelihood estimation.

Simply put, modern artificial intelligence technology still relies on quantitative accumulation to appear intelligent.

In layman's terms, current artificial intelligence technology relies primarily on statistical correlations rather than causal relationships to understand the world.

They lack embodied cognition, so they cannot form abstract concepts.

Just like in many videos created by humans, where various characters' behaviors are arbitrarily altered, the comments section often says that this is why AI cannot replace humans.

But general artificial intelligence is different. By definition, general artificial intelligence needs to have cross-domain cognitive generalization ability and causal logic ability.

Compared to the requirements for general artificial intelligence, which are similar to those for humans, it should be close to human thinking patterns.

It's even possible that when general artificial intelligence wants to do something, it will not only know how to do it, but also why it needs to do it.

If Qiao Yu is going to do this...

Well, Zhu Zhengze couldn't really say anything against it.

After all, large-scale construction on the moon is imminent...

If general artificial intelligence can make a breakthrough at this time, it means that the construction time of the moon can be significantly reduced.

Clearly, this is far more important for China's current development than any further breakthrough in mathematical theory. (End of Chapter)
