Chapter 13: brutal reality

Computer classroom.

On the lectern, a middle-aged teacher with thinning hair was eloquently lecturing.

"If there is T'(N), such that when N→∞ there is: (T(N)-T'(N))/T(N)→0"

"Then, we say that T'(N) is the asymptotic behavior of T(N) when N→∞, or T'(N) is the asymptotic complexity of algorithm A when N→∞ and is related to T( N), because mathematically T'(N) is an asymptotic expression of T(N) as N→∞."

"..."

In the classroom, all the students listened to the lecture attentively, and wrote from time to time to write down the key points of knowledge.

The final exam is approaching. The topic the teacher talks about at this time may appear on the final exam paper.

In the last row of the class, in a hidden corner, a figure lying motionless on the desk was out of tune with the learning atmosphere of the class.

Li Yi, who was 'sleeping', consciously appeared in the library.

Li Yi sat cross-legged under a large bookshelf full of white books. On the ground in front of him was a book that was ten centimeters thick and written in white.

At this time, Li Yi was no longer satisfied with learning computer, programming, and AI technology. Instead, he was interested in atoms, particles, physics, and superconducting materials, such as basic subjects for exploring the mysteries of the universe.

In programming books, Li Yi saw that the 'intelligent brain' used by the Bolser civilization uses a superconducting computer, which is many times ahead of human semiconductor computers.

This kind of magical computer caught Li Yi's attention.

Human computers are built from the field of semiconductor materials.

Semiconductor materials, as the name implies, have electrical conductivity at room temperature, and are materials between conductors and insulators. Common semiconductor materials include silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, etc. Silicon is the most influential in the application of various semiconductor materials. kind.

Superconducting materials are materials that exhibit resistance equal to zero and repel magnetic field lines under certain low temperature conditions.

The superconducting computer described in the book is hundreds of millions of times that of a semiconductor computer in terms of computing power, energy consumption, and performance.

If this superconducting computer can be developed in one lifetime, it will bring great progress to the scientific and technological civilization of mankind. In the near future, it is also very possible to lead human civilization into the interstellar era and conquer the sea of ​​stars.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yi became interested in the field of superconducting materials, particle physics, and the knowledge of these basic disciplines.

Recently, I have been looking for such books to study.

Li Yi flipped through the book page by page, his mind was completely absorbed in the book, and he was so addicted that he couldn't extricate himself.

Material physics, particle physics, quantum physics, ..., various advanced physical knowledge, constantly reshape Li Yi's knowledge structure.

A certain part of the new knowledge points in the book can bring about earth-shaking changes in human civilization.

Especially in the field of microparticle materials, Li Yi discovered some special material formulas hidden in them. If they can be prepared in reality, they will almost lead a technological revolution in human civilization.



After an unknown amount of time, Li Yi, who was silent in the ocean of knowledge, suddenly had a vague shadow in his consciousness.

"Old Li, wake up, it's over from school!" After a while, Zhang Haitao's voice rang in his ears, awakening Li Yi from the 'library'.

Li Yi opened his eyes, raised his head, and was suddenly refreshed.

There were four classes in the morning, plus the time between classes, it was nearly four hours, and I spent almost 40 hours in the library.

After 40 hours of devoting himself to the ocean of knowledge and returning to reality, Li Yi couldn't help but feel an unreal illusion.

"What's the matter! Looking at me like this, do you feel sleepy?" Zhang Haitao asked with a smile.

"Old Li, you have slept halfway through this semester, and the final exam is coming soon, no problem!" Lin Hang leaned over and asked with a smile.

"I don't know, I'll talk about it later!" Li Yi said nonchalantly when he woke up.

"Old Li, are you free on Saturday! We have an event this week!" Liu Wenfeng came over and said to Li Yi.

"Let's go! Let's talk as we walk," Zhang Haitao laughed and greeted the three of them.

Li Yi nodded happily, followed the three and left the classroom together.

"This Saturday night, Haitao organized an event to socialize with the girls' dormitory in the English department. How about it? It's good enough!" Liu Wenfeng thought about introducing it to Li Yi.

"Okay! Haitao can't see it, you still have this resource! It's amazing!" Li Yi was surprised and gave Zhang Haitao a thumbs up.

There are four people in the dormitory. Zhang Haitao has a wide body and a fat body, and his appearance is slightly inferior. However, he has an excellent personality, is generous and talkative, has the most contacts, and is very feminine.

Unlike the three of them, they are all typical engineering men. They are emotionally sluggish and not good at expressing themselves. Although they look okay, they need to be tall and tall, and their appearance is not bad.

"Yeah! Whether our brothers can get off the list depends entirely on Brother Tao!" Liu Wenfeng looked at Zhang Haitao and complimented.

"Don't, don't, I can't bear this burden, I'm still alone!" Zhang Haitao waved his hands again and again,

"Haitao, you need to lose some weight. With your eloquence, it's not a problem to find a schoolgirl-level girlfriend!" Lin Hang commented seriously. UU reading

Zhang Haitao couldn't help flipping the silver: "What does finding a girlfriend have to do with my weight? I need a girlfriend who appreciates my soul and body, not a woman who cares about my skin."

"There's nothing wrong with what you said, but men and women are all visual animals, and they don't have enough skins. Who wants to know more about that interesting soul." Lin Hang revealed the real problem bloody.

"No, no, skin and soul are secondary. Now we are talking about career and financial resources. With these two things, no matter how bad the skin is, someone will appreciate it." Liu Wenfeng followed the topic and pointed to the core.

"Old Liu, what you said is too absolute. There are also girls who don't value material things." Li Yi laughed and added to the topic.

"I admit that there are, but they are only a few. When the wealth reaches a certain level, it is an absolute advantage." Liu Wenfeng said loudly.

"Damn, why don't your sister discuss these things when you have nothing to do? Can you talk about something pleasant?" Zhang Haitao's face darkened, preventing the three of them from discussing more and more intensely.

"I'm not trying to guide you to have a sense of crisis!" Liu Wenfeng explained with a smile, then his tone was heavy, and he said seriously: "We will be a senior next year, and we have to go out for an internship after a few months of classes next semester. There are not many days to stay in school, we must hurry up and get rid of the list! Otherwise, when we leave the society, beautiful women will become a scarce resource. In terms of financial resources, we will definitely not be able to compete with the group who joined earlier than us. Society's old man."

Hearing this, Zhang Haitao and Lin Hang couldn't help but look solemn.

Li Yi smiled happily, but he didn't have any worries in this regard. The operation of Muzi Technology was already on track. When he left the campus, he was a giant crocodile, and he didn't need to "snatch food" like them.
