493. The Shadow Among the Mountains
Joyner was not interested in what Long Ping said. She was a typical activist and decision-maker.
For her, it is enough to listen to enough information, then make her own judgment and know the result.
"Oh, you can focus on these things. I am not an ignorant barbarian of this era. For example, you can tell me that the emergence of the intelligent brain has turned the accumulation of human civilization in the past two thousand years into a joke."
Joyner reluctantly made a metaphor. Her intention was very clear. She wanted Long Ping to say something related to the current research.
After all, time was tight and there were too many things she needed to know.
Long Ping smiled awkwardly and scratched his messy hair with his hands, knowing that what he was thinking in his mind could not be felt by Joyner.
Joyner's statement made sense, but he just couldn't learn the easy-to-understand explanation.
The invention of the smart brain, or chip, has subverted all human cognition in all fields involved: from daily necessities to large-scale industrial products, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to other aspects of life, from medical level to aerospace technology, from micro-field research to
Exploration of the macroscopic world.
In short, Long Ping's words were not vivid, but Joyner could deeply understand what he meant.
A few words are enough to summarize it, and the expression is confusing and confusing.
Long Ping was still talking, he wanted to express his helplessness about the progress of the research.
But from this point of view, he really couldn't find a better example, so he could only describe it with abstractions that were filled with data in the researcher's mind.
This world is huge and complex, and there are countless secrets in many unknown areas that have not yet been solved.
The same is true for the field of research.
The essence of scientific research experiments is like a jigsaw puzzle played by children. Set up a topic, and then piece together a bunch of messy things to find the answer to the topic.
Every time a piece of the puzzle is found that contains information, researchers have to investigate it.
The jigsaw puzzle is to constantly try to link the fragmented information in your hands together and make calculations based on data, common sense, theoretical basis, etc.
Sometimes you have to repeat it many times before you can find the right connection and put together a complete puzzle.
Many experiments cannot obtain ideal results immediately at the beginning, and the experimental parameters need to be adjusted repeatedly.
The rules of the experiment are very simple, which is to record the observed experimental phenomena realistically, but the experimental process is very cumbersome and complicated.
The same is true for scientific research. Sometimes there is a certain amount of luck. When you are lucky, the probability of a connection is higher. Sometimes you need keen observation to deduce the connection.
Cross-field research is even more intricate.
Imagine that medicine and high-energy physics are connected together, or molecular biology and astronomy are connected, and you can almost feel the complexity and disorder contained in it.
Each unit spells out its own subsystem, and then links with other units, eventually forming an extremely spectacular complex structure, and finally forming a complete system knowledge tree.
If subsystems that interact strongly with each other, or each aspect is only studied separately, no matter how detailed the study is, adding the results together will not yield a useful puzzle piece about the whole.
It seems that human beings actually belong to the entire universe.
And human beings also have changing and evolving characteristics...
From the smallest quarks and leptons to galaxies, from long chains of carbon elements to living organisms and the biosphere, from the biosphere to the symbolic universes where humans live and work - countless new ways of behavior are produced.
Each of these organizations is trying to get more from the world around humans than humans want and need.
Therefore, this material world is crazy, and human cognition is one-sided.
Some questions cannot be answered with current methods.
For some reason, Joyner felt that what Long Ping said was vaguely related to her. The reason was that she could feel the power of evolution from her own transformation.
This was something that was absolutely unimaginable before meeting Zhuge Yun.
Soon, the two came to a room with a large brain, where there were some data and models compiled by Long Ping.
"Is this a large-scale intelligent computer?" Joyner looked at the huge device in front of her in surprise. There was a new line of numbers "max8301-pro" on it.
The part that is exposed in the room is less than one-thirtieth of its huge body, and the rest is hidden in dozens of cabins underground.
"Yes, this is the equipment on the original space city America, and it belongs to the central processor of a certain navigation cabin."
"But why... does it look so new on the surface?"
"Who knows, maybe it was renovated by that emperor..."
When Joyner thought of Xia Wuchen, the faceless war god, she couldn't help but feel sad again.
After the emperor excavated the ruins of the space city, he carried out complex and long-term work.
After seeing the damaged equipment, he immediately organized manpower and recruited talents to restore this huge equipment.
For decades, we spent a lot of money to collect related parts, chips and other materials from various places, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources before finally recovering to the current level.
In addition to some related hardware, the most difficult thing is actually repairing the software.
With the current level of science and technology and personnel, the difficulty of this kind of restoration project can be imagined. He even secretly formed a scholar organization "Infinite Power" to specialize in these research works.
Therefore, the current "max8301-pro" computing level is close to one-fifth of the original, which is already very good.
It's a pity that the emperor died sadly before the day when his brain could develop its full power.
However, this is the emperor's last gift.
Long Ping skillfully opened the operation terminal of Zhinao and quickly typed the search command on it with his fingers.
The first time he saw the central intelligence brain he felt extremely excited.
Before entering hibernation, he had dreamed of having his own separate laboratory and experimental projects.
But at that time, there were many top researchers in related fields, and he was just an inconspicuous botanical researcher in a fringe subject. Therefore, his research plan was ranked behind other research plans of the "Titan Project".
Unexpectedly, four hundred years later, in today's ignorant and barbaric era, he would actually get such high-end goods in his dreams. How could he not be excited?
This familiar and exciting feeling made him immediately devote himself to research without sleep and food. He wished he could stay up all night and immediately start research to overcome the difficulties.
If the research project yields results, he can realize his long-cherished wish.
The shattered dream could not be realized at that time. Now, his name will be recorded in history!
Seeing the model of the smart brain and the shimmering light of the smart brain's body, Joyner could conclude that this thing was still calculating something.
The equipment here is also under the overall control of Dongfang Lu, and only he can control such a massive amount of data and smart devices at the same time.
It's just that the huge computing power possessed by this device is not comparable to that of Dongfang Road's smart brain chips.
This thing is like a central computer room in terms of size or computing power, while Dongfang Road's brain is like a micro terminal, and its computing capabilities are of course very different.
Fortunately, all the equipment here has been cracked, and the only person who can use it is Dongfang Lu. He can issue commands remotely and control this giant machine at any time.
"Is there anything special here?" Joyner touched the titanium alloy shell of "max8301-pro" with her hand.
"Special? Of course it is! I am using it to unlock the genetic data obtained from Lin Wenlai and Xiao Wu, and compare it with the samples on hand."
"sample?"
Joyner looked away from the device and looked back at Long Ping, with some confusion in her eyes.
She was waiting for Long Ping to give a reasonable explanation.
"Yes, those are the samples obtained from infected people."
A three-dimensional projection appeared in the room, and white light spread out instantly, surrounding the two people.
Countless data and graphics are changing in the small window, unfamiliar charts are arranged and superimposed layer by layer, and new data quickly replaces the original data.
"It's a pity that the intelligent voice system of this machine is damaged. You can't hear its beautiful voice. You can only rely on your own observation and my explanation to understand the progress of the research." Long Ping was a little regretful.
But for him, the lack of voice doesn't hurt.
"It doesn't matter, I don't care if it can talk or not. As long as you can explain it clearly." Joyner didn't care too much about this kind of thing.
"If you take a good look at these things, you should...understand what I told you along the way. I will tell you how far the current research has progressed."
So that’s it.
Joyner finally understood that this was the purpose of Long Ping bringing her here.
This kind of intuitive display can indeed help her understand more things from Long Ping's boring explanation.
Countless data fell quickly. Although the categories in the modular menu were neat, Long Ping was not like a warrior. His fingers slid over and the data quickly disappeared.
The data displayed in different colors are neatly scattered, and the columnar charts are changing rapidly, which is dizzying.
"Okay, this is what I want to show you."
Long Ping closed the layers of windows, stopped an image with simple gestures, and enlarged it.
He pointed at one of the long vertical double helix structures and asked Joyner to take a closer look.
"Well, this is a model of a gene chain, I understand." Of course Joyner recognized it and nodded.
I saw countless black and white particles falling from the top, and the black balls occupied most of the whole.
Several clusters of small balls gathered together and fell like Tetris. They quickly merged with the original model. The complex structure became longer and continued to extend.
"Yes, this is a DNA model, showing the changes in 'phagocytic cells'."
"Oh! Is this the DNA of the composite virus?" Joyner asked.
"Yes, about 30% of the data has been analyzed now. According to common sense, their mutation speed is really amazing. Look here again."
Long Ping threw the previous image aside and enlarged another image.
It is also a double helix structure, but the progress of the above construction can be seen at a glance just by observing it with the naked eye. The change speed of the black and white particles is much slower than the change speed of the "phagocytic cells" just now, but it is very stable.
