Chapter 456

Zhang Yuan found that the young partners around him didn't listen to him very much, although he promised.

Without experiencing that era, it is impossible to have the feeling of empathy, everything becomes natural. Perhaps, this is the limitation brought by too little experience. This limitation will not be compensated by the improvement of IQ.

"Come on, the future is still your youth's world!" Professor Xue found himself happy, said a little more, quickly waved his hand.

Out of the door of the laboratory, an old friend has been waiting. This is the first old friend Zhang Yuan met in the new civilization, Mr. John.

In order to ensure the consistency of intelligence and the adaptability of memory, the "extraordinary" usually uses the body cloned from the original cells, and the genes may be fine tuned, but not changed too much.

Therefore, in the experiment just now, Zhang Yuan easily recognized this guy in the crowd.

"John?"

"Lao Zhang, it's me! Have a drink? "

"Go! There's a good restaurant over there. It's my treat

Double happiness, see old friends, Zhang Yuan can't help but smile, the mood is more wonderful.

They walked into a roadside restaurant, ordered some food, and then ordered a small glass of red wine.

These researchers habitually don't like to let alcohol destroy their brains. However, today, they are happy to see their old friends, so they can't help making an exception. As long as they don't get drunk, there's no big problem.

John took the lead in saying: "Congratulations, genius is genius. In any world, it's genius You've made your mark again. A long time ago, it seems to be the same. It's like picking an apple from a tree with ease. "

"Nowadays, there are more talents than before, and with the great improvement of learning ability, there are more contents to explore!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "if you don't add more oil, you will be left far behind by others."

“…… But if it wasn't for the intelligence improvement and human-computer interaction ability brought by the auxiliary brain, I think it would take ten times, or even more than twenty times, to complete this work. "

In this era, with the help of the brain and some human chip technology, whether it's mathematical modeling or coding, it's much simpler than before.

On the other hand, the rise of memory, so that barriers between disciplines have been broken through a lot. In the past, geniuses studied hard all their lives and could only master a small part. Now ordinary people can quickly learn more knowledge and master several subjects. It is possible to combine different subjects.

John nodded and agreed, "the series of changes brought about by super memory is really an epoch-making high technology We finally crossed the threshold. It's hard to imagine what our society will be like if we can't cross this threshold? It may also be like some dead people in the virtual world. "

"Two or three hundred years ago, it was like this It's a dangerous time. Fortunately, we have crossed it. "

Sometimes it's just a generation's effort to get away from the decline of a civilization.

Hearing this history, Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing. John was the same John. He remembered that when he was in the era of the earth, this guy had been worried about the future of the earth civilization. As a result, the earth civilization declined.

Now we are worried about the seemingly solved problem of "not reaching the threshold".

"It was really a dangerous time. It was really dangerous. I've read papers on auxiliary brain, though I don't quite understand them.... "

Zhang Yuan said: "although the threshold of intelligence is high, it is not so high as to be unimaginable. In my opinion, as long as we learn from enough samples of intelligent life to crack the memory code, there are still not many problems. It's just a matter of time. However, our human civilization may not last for hundreds or thousands of years, which may be the limitation of human beings. "

Human memory has been greatly improved, along with the whole intelligence. For example, the "ε - δ" language in higher mathematics is not difficult to understand as long as it is memorized by rote.

Many people are surprised to find that some seemingly very difficult subjects, such as group theory and topology, which have many definitions and concepts, have been simplified by rote.

When rote learning becomes an instinct, it actually becomes a unique skill. It's not difficult to learn many subjects by rote.

John said: "the most important thing is that in terms of logical thinking, human beings have not improved in essence. Therefore, the improvement brought by the auxiliary brain is still limited. This dangerous period of history is still likely to crush us. "

The more abstract the knowledge is, the more association ability is needed, and the less improvement it can bring.

Up to now, biological scientists do not know how to improve the "logical thinking ability", which seems to be very abstract, by transforming the brain.

What's more, the memory that the human brain can handle is still limited. Nowadays, it's no problem that human beings can master three or five subjects, but they can't master thirty or fifty subjects.The auxiliary brain can only record part of the memory, but not all of it. The brain itself is also responsible for some memory. It is too difficult to integrate a large number of memories.

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "it's very good now. It's impossible to ascend to heaven in one step. Professor Tu, who launched the final charge and took off the bright pearl, died 30 years ago. I really want to see this hero. "

"It's really a pity. However, the research and development of this auxiliary brain technology has lasted for more than 500 years. It's not the credit of Professor Tu alone."

Even with some small flaws, they are still very satisfied with the current scientific progress, or simply can not be satisfied. The worry about civilization is long-term, but it can't cover up short-term optimism. If there is only worry and no optimism, people will collapse.

John suddenly asked, "what do you think is the most epoch-making technology, or idea, besides assisting the brain?"

Zhang Yuan thought: "incomplete theorem of random number! It proves that "true random number" can not be generated by the algorithm itself That is to say, information itself cannot produce information. This theorem is too strong. It's a key step in the nature of the universe, self-consciousness, and even strong artificial intelligence! "

It is true that computers can generate true random numbers with the help of user activities or hardware instability. There is even a specially made "true random number generator", which can output random sequences by using the randomness of molecular thermal motion. However, without the help of the external environment, the computer still can not use the algorithm itself to generate true random numbers.

Randomness is inseparable from strong artificial intelligence. Under the guidance of theory, how to make strong artificial intelligence is another big topic.

"The second is the subatomic theory that can break the confinement of quarks."

Quark confinement, in short, is to pull apart the energy of the combined quark, which is enough to form a new quark in vacuum. When combined with the original quark, it still can not get a single quark. However, after the introduction of sub quarks and sub leptons, a small amount of energy can be used to pry the conversion between quarks and produce huge energy.

Although quark energy still uses the mass energy equation, it can convert 60% of the mass of matter into energy, which is close to 100% of antimatter!

"If we can use quark energy, we will not be able to produce antimatter in large quantities. It's hard to rely on fusion energy alone. Antimatter is basically the strongest weapon of the third or even the fourth level civilization. "

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "no, quarks can get trillions of degrees of high temperature. A small-scale energy room can't be built. Even the size of the bright galaxy is still too small. If you empty a planet, it's good to rely on its internal volume. "
