Chapter 181 Lao Su's goal and artificial mental retardation (5.269K)
The house Xu Yun rents is in a relatively remote community outside the HKUST campus. It is in a remote location and has a relaxing environment.
At the same time, considering the halo space, he rented a suite with two bedrooms and one living room.
Therefore, although Lao Su's appearance is relatively sudden, it will also take a relatively long time to adapt to the life of the 21st century.
But at least it is very easy to find accommodation.
Xu Yun then found a furniture store through the intra-city shopping function of the online shopping platform and placed an order for a walnut bed.
The size of the bed is 1.8 meters. It costs NT$400 including shipping and will be delivered within an hour and a half.
While waiting for the wooden bed to be delivered to my door.
Xu Yun also introduced the functions of various furniture to Lao Su.
I saw him walking first to the switch, pointing to the energy-saving light on the roof:
"The lighting facilities above our heads are called lamps. This is a switch, and the circuit is connected behind it."
"Just press the switch and you can turn the light on or off, just like this."
As he spoke, he flicked the switch.
The light bulb went out, and the brightness in the room suddenly dropped a lot.
Then he pressed the upper end again, and the energy-saving lamp lit up again...
“What a neat tool.”
Lao Su looked at the bright energy-saving lamps with a hint of wonder in his eyes:
"The electric lamp is much brighter than the oil lamp."
After speaking, he walked to the switch with great interest and carefully touched the switch a few times with his hand:
"Xiao Wang, no, Xiao Xu, is the circuit behind this thing consistent with the principle of the generator you originally built?"
Xu Yun thought for a while and said:
"The properties of the currents in the two are the same. They are both alternating currents, not direct currents."
"However, modern circuit principles are relatively complex. After all, there is a gap in industrial levels."
Old Su nodded thoughtfully.
When he was developing telescopes and engines in the Song Dynasty, Xu Yun often mentioned the words "industrial level" in front of him.
At that time, Lao Su was actually a little confused:
How come the talents and equipment that the entire Song Dynasty put together didn't quite meet Xu Yun's requirements?
But now, as Lao Su came to the later generations in person and saw these simple but technically powerful devices, he immediately understood what Xu Yun meant.
It turns out that what Xu Yun said about the low industrial level of the Song Dynasty was a comparison with nine hundred years later!
Just like you are used to seeing high-rise buildings and then return to a remote village, it would be strange if you don't dislike them.
It's a pity that Cao Xueqin wasn't born yet in Lao Su's time, otherwise he would probably share the same love with Grandma Liu.
Then he turned his head again, pointed at the mobile phone in Xu Yun's hand and asked:
"Xiao Xu, what is this?"
"Oh, you said it."
Xu Yun bumped his Huawei nova6 and said:
"This is called a mobile phone. It is a very popular but very sophisticated instrument in this era. You may not be able to understand the specific principles for a while, as it involves electronic components and even more profound knowledge."
"As for the main function, in ancient terms, it is to transmit sounds across thousands of miles."
"Thousands of miles of sound transmission?"
Xu Yun smiled and nodded. This introduction of modern equipment to the ancients made him inexplicably happy:
"That's right, as you saw just now, I am miles away from another person, but I can use it to achieve real-time success."
"Also, did you see this search bar?"
“As long as you enter what you are looking for above, you will be able to search for a lot of results you want.”
“And this one is WeChat Penguin”
"This is a camera. Just stand still and I'll take a picture of you!"
click
After a while.
Looking at the face on the screen, which had a straight expression but was exactly the same as when he was young, a trace of shock flashed through Lao Su's eyes again.
"It's truly a divine weapon."
Then he wrote down the icons he mentioned one by one, pointed to one of the columns and asked:
"By the way, what about this one called Madou?"
"It's just a learning tool."
Xu Yun quietly hid the icon and said calmly:
"I will also buy you a mobile phone when I have time, but you have to take time to get the mobile phone card with me."
"Oh, by the way, there is also a bank card, which is equivalent to a counter receipt from the Song Dynasty. You can withdraw money."
After saying that, he took Lao Su to the bathroom and introduced the use of the shower head and toilet while wearing clothes.
A few minutes later.
The two returned to Xu Yun's bedroom again and heard Xu Yun say:
"Anyway, just stay here with me for now, and I'll take you out for a walk in two days."
"Anyway, now that your documents are complete and the procedures are in compliance, you can take everything from airplanes to high-speed trains."
"When I have the chance, I will take you to Wuzhou Mountain again. Your tomb will be built there. Then you can burn some paper money for yourself."
"To be honest, the difference between the 21st century and the Northern Song Dynasty is not just about the things in this room. You have a lot to learn."
Hearing this, Lao Su nodded in agreement again.
This room was smaller than his bedroom in the Su Mansion, but it was filled with magical technologies that made him smile from ear to ear. It could be said to be a whole new world.
Don't say anything else.
Let’s talk about the toilet in the bathroom:
When he first saw the toilet, he thought it was a well in later generations. When using the toilet, he just used the dental cup on the side to scoop out cup after cup.
Who could have imagined the result.
This seemingly ‘extremely luxurious’ thing is actually a filthy thing used for dressing?
This was something that was completely unthinkable in the Northern Song Dynasty. Even the emperor's family could not afford such luxury. (Note: Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty used a seat with a wooden bucket under the chair)
Think of this.
Lao Su couldn't help but sigh slightly:
As Xu Yun said.
There are still many, many things that I have to learn.
During the previous chat, Xu Yun actually briefly analyzed his situation:
What he currently has the highest level of mastery is undoubtedly his literacy ability. He can easily recognize and recognize the meaning of most Chinese characters.
And on the professional side.
Although I have not experienced modern education personally, I have never even seen a cafeteria lady.
But his mathematical knowledge during the Northern Song Dynasty was not particularly backward, not to mention that Xu Yun taught him for a year.
So judge it comprehensively.
His current level is about high school level in physics, and about junior high school level in mathematics, chemistry, and biology.
There is no set number for adaptability, but you should be able to master 21st century living habits within one to two months.
At the same time, follow the situation introduced by Xu Yun.
College physics generally requires four years of study, and then you "graduate". You can find a job on your own or choose to go to graduate school.
If you want to have the ability to assist Xu Yun in research and development, you must at least be at the level of a second-year graduate student.
Therefore, Lao Su silently set a goal for himself:
Strive to raise mathematics, chemistry, and biology to university level, and physics to second-year postgraduate level within one year.
It shouldn't be difficult, right?
After all, when it comes to studying, he really has never been afraid of anyone.
Another half hour passed.
The merchant who delivered the bed arrived.
Several people worked together to move the wooden bed into Lao Su's room.
After the merchant leaves.
Lao Su volunteered that he wanted to sit in the room for a while. Xu Yun used his tablet to find the "General History of China" documentary filmed by CCTV on station B and asked Lao Su to start watching it from episode 98.
Finish these.
Xu Yun watched Lao Su enter the house, then returned to the bedroom and took out the
A USB flash drive.
This USB flash drive quietly appeared in his pocket when he returned. As long as he pinched both sides of the USB flash drive, a light curtain would appear in front of his eyes:
[Growth-type artificial retardation can be automatically activated as long as the USB flash drive is inserted into the interface, and it is a fool-like one-click operation, because it is a fool!]
""
Seeing this reminder, Xu Yun couldn't help but gently rub his temples.
A few seconds later.
He exhaled a thick breath.
That’s all.
Although I don’t have much hope for this artificial intelligence, it is a mission reward after all, so it won’t hurt to give it a try.
So with this mentality in mind, Xu Yun inserted the USB flash drive into the computer port.
His computer was assembled by an acquaintance and cost more than 4,000 yuan in total. Its performance is quite satisfactory.
It can run in LOL and other games, but it can’t be done with old headscarves or other high-end configurations. It is only used for watching videos or working occasionally.
At this time, the computer screen displayed the desktop homepage, and the background was Tifa, who was also wearing clothes.
As the USB flash drive was inserted, the screen quickly turned into gray sand dots, just like a TV with no signal.
See this situation.
Xu Yun just glanced at the interface slightly, made sure that the USB flash drive was inserted securely, and then waited patiently.
Although the halo always likes to make some risqué remarks, it is still very powerful in terms of reward realization, and there is no possibility of program errors.
as expected.
More than ten seconds later.
The screen blurred again, and a figure appeared in the center
Cat head.
This cat head is neither 3D nor colorful. How can I say this?
If you were born in the 1990s, you should have seen a watch-shaped toy called an electronic pet.
Also called "pet eggs" or Tamagotchis.
The appearance of this cat’s head is very similar to that of early electronic pets:
The gray-white picture and rough digital dots make it clearer after taking off the glasses.
There was an input field at the bottom of Maomao's head, and Xu Yun tried shaking the mouse.
Yes, it can move.
Then he moved the mouse to the input field and made a Sino-Japanese greeting through the keyboard:
Can you hear me?
After a while.
Cat head:
"(ˉ﹃ˉ)"
""
Xu Yun took a deep breath and continued to hit:
"Hello?"
"(ˉ﹃ˉ)"
"(,,???)?゛hello?"
"(ˉ﹃ˉ)"
"halamad day?"
"(ˉ﹃ˉ)"
Xu Yun suddenly laughed angrily and said quickly:
"You only know this expression?"
Cat head:
"(゜ρ゜)"
Seeing this, Xu Yun immediately slapped himself with a halo on his forehead. You must be honest, this horse rider is mentally retarded!
Then he tried to enter questions such as playing videos, playing music, and how much 1+1 is, and all he got were (ˉ﹃ˉ) and (゜ρ゜) expressions.
However, just when Xu Yun sighed.
The cat's head suddenly shrank with a whooshing sound, and disappeared into the status bar in the lower right corner of the screen.
Xu Yun was stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he moved the mouse to the icon on the status bar.
soon.
A prompt appeared:
[Automatically growing, current progress: 0.00000000000000000000000000000000001%]
After a second, the prompt refreshes again:
[Automatically growing, current progress: 0.00000000000000000000000000000000002%]
"Automatic growth?"
Looking at this prompt, a trace of thought flashed in Xu Yun's eyes.
Computers are very complex in terms of function, but in terms of nature, there are only two points that may be related to artificial intelligence:
One is electricity.
The second is information obtained through the Internet.
Then Xu Yun thought for a moment, turned off the broadband, and looked at the status bar again.
The information displayed from the tip of the mouse can be clearly seen.
As the network connection is interrupted, the progress bar no longer shows any signs of moving.
Xu Yun observed this for half a minute and then reconnected to the network.
Soon, the progress bar started moving again.
Seeing that Xu Yun was holding his chin with his left hand, he said to himself:
"In other words, if this mentally retarded person wants to grow, he needs to obtain information or bytes from the Internet?"
This is somewhat interesting.
A year is calculated as 365 days, which can be converted into 31,536,000 seconds.
And assuming that Xu Yun stays online for a whole year, the extent to which this mentally retarded person can grow is
0.0000000000000000000000001%.
There are still twenty-five digits in front of it to reach 1%, and two digits are needed to go from 1% to 100%.
So it's obvious.
This kind of automatic growth should be regarded as a function similar to a guarantee, and we cannot expect it to produce quantitative changes.
If you want it to grow quickly, you probably have to pass the Halo mission.
Of course.
This does not rule out that the growth rate of artificial mental retardation is related to computer hardware, which requires further verification.
If switching to a supercomputer can speed things up, Xu Yun still has a way to use a more common supercomputer.
"But no matter what, this is still a prototype of artificial intelligence, and it still needs a name."
Xu Yun thought for a while, and names such as "Tianhe-1 Taihu Light Dawn" flashed through his mind.
After a few seconds, his eyes lit up slightly, and he made a fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left hand:
"Then call it Mimi!"
Others watch videos and raise cats in the cloud, but he really relies on network data to raise cats in the cloud.
Anyway, we have reached this point.
He has been exposed to all the rewards that he can access in the house.
The appearance of Lao Su was undoubtedly the reward for the eighth ball of light, and it was also the reward that surprised him the most.
As for artificial retardation?
It’s okay not to talk about it.
Therefore, the next thing to do is
Xu Yun took out another small piece of paper from his pocket and looked at the HKUST campus with a long look:
"It's time to go see this landmark. Don't let me down."
