Xueba's computing system

Chapter 89 An unexpected discovery

If Xia Ye hadn't stopped her, Song Xiaoxiao would have called Lin Yuan that night to question him.

Lin Yuan naturally didn't know all this. He was in his dormitory looking at the bracelet that Xia Ye gave him.

The meaning of the red rope is self-explanatory.

When a woman gives someone an amulet woven with red string, she is naturally praying not only for safety, but also for a good marriage.

One end of the red rope was tied to Lin Yuan's pulse on his wrist, which had the same rhythm as his heartbeat, while the other end was tied to Xia Ye's heart.

Lin Yuan looked at it for a long time, until the corners of his mouth almost curved into a crescent.

After playing with the red string bracelet over and over again, Lin Yuan finally set his eyes on the fake Bagua amulet strung with the red string.

"I think this scammer's business is pretty crude. He should at least sell some Buddha amulets near a Buddhist temple."

'A third-rate liar meets a stupid girl?'

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly and could only smile bitterly at his wife's IQ.

It seems that she cannot be in charge of the family finances in the future. It's really scary for her to be like this.

As he stared at it, Lin Yuan suddenly discovered that this little wooden tablet with the Bagua pattern was quite delicate. The whole thing was an octagon with a square of two centimeters, and it could be worn on the wrist like a small watch.

The texture was dark and shiny, and it felt a little cold to the touch. Lin Yuan even thought that this thing might be carved from mahogany, because he scraped it a little and found that the color was the original color of the wood, not painted on.

"This liar really spent a lot of money." The more Lin Yuan looked at it, the more he felt that the Bagua wooden sign was exquisitely made, giving people a sense of simplicity that was deliberately made old.

Lin Yuan touched the two yin and yang in the middle of the Bagua, and then looked at the eight hexagrams of "Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun".

Each hexagram position consists of three horizontal lines, and there are two types of horizontal lines.

As an IT practitioner, Lin Yuan quickly realized, "Isn't this just binary, 2 bits?"

Bit is the composition of byte. A byte is composed of 8 bits. Bit is the real smallest unit in the computer world, just like quarks in the real world (if quarks are really the smallest particles).

Each bit has two states, 0 and 1, so people say: There are only 0 and 1 in the computer world.

But now Lin Yuan discovered that it seems that the 8 hexagram positions are composed of 3 bits of 0 and 1.

Is this a coincidence? Or is it a coincidence?
Lin Yuan's thirst for knowledge immediately exploded, and he quickly searched for various information on the Internet.

But after searching for a long time, even after consulting chatGPT, Lin Yuan still found nothing.

It turns out that people had noticed the binary expression of gossip a long time ago.

Leibniz, a mathematician from Hans, had already noticed this situation in his time, but so many years have passed and people's research on the Bagua has only remained at the concept of "ancient divination things."

Naturally, Lin Yuan was too lazy to study in depth those hexagrams whose names sounded difficult to understand.

But he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, 'Could the Eight Trigrams be a binary prediction from the Dragon Nation's ancestors? Predicting that the silicon base will come from the carbon base?'

Lin Yuan didn't spend much time on this science fiction fantasy. It was late at night and he was a little sleepy.

Before going to bed, Lin Yuan suddenly had an idea - should he use the computing system to search for gossip-related content?
After thinking about it, I decided not to do it. Large-scale data retrieval is a big move, which will not only exhaust the accumulated computing power, but also the system will probably not understand my gossiping mentality, which will probably cause a crash.

After consideration, Lin Yuan decided to search various major paper repositories.

He did find some papers in the philosophy category that mentioned the Eight Trigrams in the study of the Book of Changes, but he couldn't understand them at all.

It is already asking too much for a science and engineering student to read a philosophy paper, let alone a philosophy paper on the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams.

Lin Yuan finally deleted those papers and threw them all into the recycle bin.

After lying down on the bed, he suddenly had another idea - has anyone in the IT industry ever written a paper on gossip?
After all, in the IT industry, there are people who can really invite monks to bless the server (don’t laugh, people on the other side of the strait also invite bishops to sprinkle holy water).

Although neutrinos have nothing to do with ghosts, if those invisible things are really made up of some special particles, then this kind of religious operation might be useful. Therefore, Lin Yuan decided to give it a try to see if there is such a god in the IT industry.

So he searched the domestic Internet through Google Scholar and other websites, searching for papers related to gossip under the IT category.

Lin Yuanzhen actually found someone mentioning in an overseas paper library: using exorcism rituals to bless server clusters with sacred attributes.

He actually found several papers in major domestic paper databases. One of the more interesting ones was written by a professor from Xiabei University - "Theoretical Research on the Application of Bagua Feng Shui in AI Large Models", author: Zhou Shuiyi.

Lin Yuan glanced at the author's name - Zhou Shui Yi, which looked like a name for a charlatan.

If it weren't for the search engine, he wouldn't know how to pronounce those two words.

Lin Yuan looked at the preface of the paper: [Feng Shui is a way for our ancestors to read and perceive the world. The Eight Diagrams represent the five elements of heaven and earth. Feng Shui and the Eight Diagrams are our ancestors' "understanding of things" and "summary of thoughts" in this complex objective world. And what is AI? Isn't it the abstract concept extraction of complex things? These two things reveal a tacit understanding that coincides with each other. Modern scientific and technological civilization breaks through the complex time and space, and at this moment, it has achieved a closed loop with ancient culture. ]

If Lin Yuan had not been sure that this was a paper, he would have thought he was reading the prologue of a science fiction novel.

This is not the introduction that a paper should have. Not to mention the weird content, the format and narrative logic alone are completely unacceptable.

'How did this charlatan become a professor?'

Soon, Lin Yuan's curiosity about Zhou Shuiyi surpassed his curiosity about the gossip itself.

Once the curiosity of people majoring in science and engineering is aroused, it is like a supercar with the brakes removed; they cannot stop at all.

Lin Yuan searched all over the Internet, but could find almost no information about Zhou Shuiyi.

Only a few posts criticizing Zhou Shuiyi were found in the forum of Xiabei University.

[As all juniors know, when choosing a mentor, you must avoid our school's mythical beast Zhou Shuihuo. ]

[How did this divine beast Zhou Shuihuo become a full professor in his forties? 】

[Zhou Shuihuo, the best philosopher in the computer science department, and the best code writer in the philosophy department.]

[How about we report and expose Zhou Shuihuo? ]

[Support the above, if you don't plan to get a diploma. ]

[What did Shuihuo do to you? He just can't write code. ]

[You are right, full professors in computer science cannot write code.]

[There is actually a hidden theology department in our school, you know. ]

.

Lin Yuan looked up Xiabei University, which is a first-tier non-key university with an excellent foundation.

In addition to 985 and 211 universities, Longguo also has some good universities that are not or universities. Xiabei University seems to be one of them.

Lin Yuan then read Zhou Shuiyi's masterpiece.

The content of the AI part takes the big data of traditional Chinese medicine as the entry point, and the various formulas and data used are also quite standard.

Zhou Shuiyi wants to prove that Feng Shui can be introduced as a parameter in AI training.

But Lin Yuan felt that he was just forcing it.

Anyway, Lin Yuan didn't understand that the Chinese medicine mentioned in his paper had nothing to do with Feng Shui.

Then he understood the confusion of those students in the forum - how did this charlatan get promoted to full professor?
