    As usual, Li Zhuang went to the second floor of the deep basement to see the speaker family, and then entered the territory of the Vicky family on the third floor to check the hardware operating conditions for them in detail.

    "Father, Chen Deqi just added a file to the system and left a message saying that you can take a look when you have time." Vicky reminded.

    "Well, I got it, Eve, how's the progress on your side?" Eve is Eve, Fifty Vicky's name. It was chosen last month. It seems to be Vicky's idea.  Because Eve is the name of Eve, it contains the best wishes for a long life.  The names starting with the V word have long been taken up by Fifty Vicky's sisters, so I had to choose the next best name with a "V".

    Eve is a small upgraded version of the Vicky class. It is one-third smaller than the original version of Vicky, has slightly improved performance, and has the same hardware cost.

    "Father, the channel optical cable has been repaired, and a double line to the underground evacuation center is being built. The optimization of the construction robot is still in progress. It is expected that the performance can be improved by about 5%."

    ¡°I know, continue the construction and cooperate with Li Zhisen and ask him to submit an improvement list based on the actual investigation.¡±

    Eve responded, then fell into silence, she didn't speak much.  Researchers at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence Theory have not yet thoroughly investigated the real reasons for personality differences in intelligence and brains.  Li Zhuang communicates with Vicki-level intelligence every day without hesitation. This is an arduous and boring job that most people cannot persist at.

    The Vicky-level design seems to have reached a certain edge. The extreme amplified version of the fifty-two-dimensional Ji has an intelligence level of 7.2, which is only slightly stronger than Vicky, and her number of neurons has reached 20 million.  The logic judgment of software and hardware is perfect. Vicky personally tested it and it took half a year to complete.

    After the emergence of the "super loudspeaker" plan, Li Zhuang focused on the upgradeability of the V-level brain when designing Vicky, but the progress was getting smaller and smaller.  In addition to the V-level enlarged version, he also studied the 100m-level version with 100 million neurons, only to find that he encountered a bottleneck. Something seemed wrong. There was a problem with the existing system, and the derivation of the limit theory of artificial neural networks was inconsistent with the verification results.

    Li Zhuang thought of "sound impairment" and "thermal impairment". Could this be "mental retardation"?  Thinking of this word, he couldn't help laughing and couldn't make random analogies.  Guster gave this phenomenon a name, "plateau obstacle", which later became a special internal name, and of course only the core researchers knew it.

    "Forget it, don't consider this. I don't know when the new language research and development will have results. Vai has reached its limit in the Vicky-level enlarged version. Let's take a look at what Chen Deqi wrote first."

    As the leading Chinese figure in asa, Chen Deqi and Li Zhuang are not close to each other.  This guy graduated from N University with a major in astrophysics, a master's degree from cit, and a doctorate from Stanford.  Before he came, he knew many of the company's supervisors. He had doctorates in two fields. His career in aerospace was a later development. At the age of thirty, he changed his mind and devoted himself to the booming aerospace industry.

    Dr. Chen was born in an official family, but had no interest in politics. He first started doing theoretical research and later switched to engineering.  He did not enjoy any benefits from his family, but he was implicated in the political struggle and lost his job.  The two years I stayed in Citigroup after I graduated with my Ph.D. were complicated, and I guess there was a hidden secret.  He is a person with high IQ and EQ who is influenced by his family and is well-informed, so it is not easy for him to find loopholes.

    The two major intelligence agencies in China could not find any problem with him, and they were even more worried. They simply kicked this guy out to avoid any accidents in the future.  Aerospace is a field that China can excel in. The Japanese stole many of their masters and had many spies back then.

    Opening the files of the Safety Committee, Chen Deqi's article was ranked third. It started with an interesting line, "We are going to start drawing people soon. Wu Wenkai can no longer keep saying that I am drawing ghosts."

    Li Zhuang couldn¡¯t help but laugh when he saw this sentence. The Chinese in the company knew that these two guys didn¡¯t deal with each other and often ridiculed each other.  I don¡¯t know why, but some people just don¡¯t like each other and are more compatible with other people, such as Li Zhuang, Andreev and Tao Kan.

    This situation is very common in the company. Chen Deqi's best friend is not a Chinese, but Billy Cornforth, who is also the director of the Aerospace Vehicle Research Institute.  Wu Wenkai is currently the director of the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics and has a good relationship with the "French Rabbit" Durand.

    Complex and diverse material forms are basically divided into three categories: gaseous, liquid and solid. Among these three types of matter, two are the subjects of condensed matter physics research. Every step of progress in this subject is closely related to human life.  Related.  From traditional metals and alloys to new semiconductors and superconducting materials, from glass and ceramics to polymers and composite materials, from optical crystals to liquid crystal materials, etc., all these materials involve sound, light, electricity,  Magnetic, thermal and other properties are based on condensed matter physics research.

    Condensed matter physics research directly provides the foundation for many high technologies.?The booming microelectronics technology, laser technology, optoelectronics technology and optical fiber communication technology are closely related to the research and development of condensed matter physics.  It does not exceed the scope of quantum mechanics, is widely used, and is easy to produce results.

    The Institute of Condensed Matter Physics is the largest branch under the Ministry of Physics, with nearly 30,000 senior researchers.  The Cold Fusion Laboratory, Functional Materials Laboratory and Superconducting Superfluid Laboratory are all units under the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics and have frequent contacts with asa.  Zhou Qisen and Zhang Kai were both very lucky that Wu Wenkai could grab this position.  Of course, Li Zhuang doesn't know this, and it is always more complicated if it is mixed with things other than science.

    Chen Deqi is the deputy director of ASA and the director of space science. This institution is not as large as the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics, and the thing it studies is its name.  Space science refers to the discipline that uses spacecraft to study natural phenomena and their laws such as physics, astronomy, chemistry, and life that occur in solar-terrestrial space, interplanetary space, and the entire universe.  Space science is based on aerospace technology and includes several aspects such as space flight, space exploration and space development.  It can not only reveal the mysteries of the universe, but also bring huge benefits to mankind.  Chen Deqi now wants to engage in management, focusing on theoretical research, and his direction is the famous cosmology, which is a branch of astronomy that studies the structure and evolution of the universe from a holistic perspective.

    Modern cosmology includes observational cosmology and theoretical cosmology. Chen Deqi's current conditions are good, and the Institute of Space Science and the Department of Astronomy have frequent contacts.  He is a talented person with both science and engineering experience, so the asa space institute, which has a large research scope, needs this director, and Andreev did not let him work at the astrophysics institute.

    What is cosmology?  When humans could not walk freely in the solar system, it was the discipline of "drawing ghosts".  This means that there is no final conclusion, they are all hypotheses, and it is impossible to describe the exact outline.  This situation is very similar to "ghost", both are things without a complete system.

    The structure of the universe has even the few big guys arguing about it, and others are naturally scratching their heads even more.  Scientists are not like ordinary people who can fantasize at will. The spirit of science must always be observed, otherwise they will become science fiction writers and will be scolded by engineers.

    Li Zhuang couldn't help but fell into deep thought when he saw the joke about "painting people and ghosts".  The four solutions in the field of artificial intelligence, including their combination solutions, can be related to "drawing people and ghosts".

    Artificial neural network is currently ¡°drawing people¡±. It is a special bionic design that imitates intelligent humans. Although it is extremely complex, it can still find a frame of reference.  The 100m-level intelligent brain uses an intelligent solution that imitates the human brain. Because it has a sufficient number of neurons, the workload of software writing is greatly reduced.

    This situation can be compared with the complex instruction set CISC and the reduced instruction set RISC, which have similarities.  Advances in the field of computer hardware have enabled the emergence of low-power, low-cost artificial neurons and components that realize human brain functions in batches. Research in brain science is also unparalleled in the past.

    ?Risc microprocessors have a simple structure, compact layout, short design cycle, and are easy to adopt the latest technology; CISC microprocessors have complex structures and long design cycles.  In terms of use, risc microprocessors have simple structures, regular instructions, easy to grasp performance, and are easy to learn and use; cisc microprocessors have complex structures, powerful functions, and are easy to implement special functions.

    Since the determination of the risc instruction system is related to specific application fields, the risc machine is more suitable for special-purpose machines, while the cisc system is more suitable for general-purpose machines.

    The above are information from popular science, but there are actually two points.  The reason why risc is declining is related to increasingly complex applications.  Its hardware logic errors are very few, but the amount of software programming is huge when implementing complex tasks. The software is complex and not easy to use. Obviously, more general-purpose things are needed in life.

    When the price of artificial neurons is relatively high, Li Zhuang can only choose to use relatively simple hardware and complex software to cooperate with each other. This is the result of the early stage.  In order to maximize system stability and execution efficiency, he thought of developing a cross-platform language like vai, sacrificing ease of use.

    Now that we have the conditions, we may be able to go a step further by using a solution similar to the CISC system. Before the new language is developed, Li Zhuang is studying new algorithms and data structures to adapt to changes in the hardware system.  The smart ring is not just a smart ring, it is a by-product of the research process and an integral part of the new smart brain.

    Artificial neural network plus knowledge processing and symbol processing plus hierarchical social structure model, this is his envisioned plan for a 100m-level new intelligent brain. It is more complex than before, but it is in line with his linear upgrade concept.  First study the possibility of sub-solution implementation, and then upgrade. It is impossible to achieve a higher level of intelligence using only a certain model.

    As for truly powerful intelligent systems based on biological evolution, they currently fall into the category of "painting ghosts".  The origin of neo-Darwinism is Darwin¡¯s theory of natural selection that explains evolution, and Mendel¡¯s laws of inheritanceThe combination also transforms basic Mendelian genetics into mathematical population genetics.

    The modern comprehensive theory combines two important discoveries, namely the evolutionary unit (gene) and the evolutionary mechanism (natural selection).  It also integrates many branches of biology, such as genetics, cytology, systematic taxonomy, botany and paleontology, etc.

    Whether it is neo-Darwinism that combines natural selection, geological selection, and sexual selection with modern biological theory, or the influential endosymbiosis theory, neutral theory, and sudden change theory, they cannot perfectly explain all phenomena.  The cause of intelligence is still a mystery. The human brain is limited by the body structure, and the possibility of infinite expansion is zero. The power consumption is always there. Research in the Human Body Modification Laboratory has given a conclusion.

    The theory of evolution has nothing to do with sociology, and it has nothing to do with religious thought. There are endless theories about gods creating humans or aliens creating humans.  The troubles it brings are no different from medicine. It involves complex interests and concepts, and it makes laymen confused about who to believe.

    The messy involvement has nothing to do with the computer expert. He only cares about when a perfect theory will appear.  This guy is very good at tinkering. Creating a new theory is not a task he can complete. After all, he is still a normal person and has no signs of schizophrenia.

    Metaphysical things cannot be applied to engineering, especially when it comes to the theory of creating life and entering the realm of God.  The mainstream "Tree of Life" is not perfect, and there is not enough evidence to find it.  How the complex and sophisticated human eye emerged has never been reasonably explained. On the contrary, it is more convincing that aliens and gods created humans, because the human eye is a set of technical solutions in terms of structure.

    "How long will it take to paint ghosts? Is it possible that we are really a species created by God? Just aliens. They cannot establish such a complete system. According to the current progress of scientific development, as long as we can establish many  base, human beings cannot destroy themselves, and this will not last long."

    "Halo, what am I thinking? The construction of the moon base will start soon. It is estimated that the United Nations will pass some bills soon. There is a high possibility that my armed base plan will go bankrupt." The computer expert patted his head and continued to look at Chen Deqi  Something to write about.

    A line of large characters was displayed on the LCD screen: "Mysterious Moon".

    "Mysterious? It's very mysterious, but it won't surprise professionals like Dr. Chen, right? I hope the detector doesn't find anything weird."

    Li Zhuang does not want to see a detailed version of the hypothesis that the moon is an artificial spacecraft. This theory is not very reliable. Although he is a pragmatist who does not care whether the theory conforms to the existing system, he does not want to see a scientist write science fiction.
