As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 85 Simplifying the Hyber Problem

It is difficult for companies engaged in autonomous driving to get investment.

Because investors will ask you, why do you beat Tesla?Why win thousands of degrees?Moreover, domestic new energy car companies have their own autonomous driving departments.

What do you rely on to seize the market?

For example, Qiandu has spent so many years burning money in the field of autonomous driving, but there has been no commercialization of the results.

Not to mention start-up companies, investors will wonder how much money I have to burn for you to see the results. What if I burn billions, and you still can’t compare with other companies?

It is very difficult to attract investment like this.

Secondmind was able to attract investment and successfully passed the B round, mainly because they not only do autonomous driving algorithms and deep learning platforms, but also do more AI chip design.

There are few players in this field, and secondmind is backed by Cambridge in England, and its talent team is very strong.

And the amount of their B round investment is not much, so they can attract investment.

Cheng Gang asked: "When will secondmind's C round? Will you follow the C round?"

The person in charge of the investment department of the goose factory took a sip of coffee:
"It's probably coming soon~ They only raised 400 million yuan in their B round of financing. It's been two years now, and it's probably almost burnt out."

"I personally tend to invest a little bit to try it out. We only invested 600 million yuan in the B round. Even if the price doubles in the C round, it is only 200 million yuan. Sprinkle water."

"Should follow suit, but still have to make a decision later."

"To be honest, I don't expect secondmind to make any achievements in the direction of automatic driving, but the deep learning in some car performance tuning is still good."

"If you want to build a team from scratch in China, the price will not be much cheaper than investing in secondmind. If you want to participate in the C round of investment, I can help you get involved."

"It just so happens that RB Capital, the investor in the B round, wants to exit."

The investment department of Goose Factory looks at more than [-] projects every year, and the number of projects managed is also in triple digits.

The latest information of each project in their investment project management system will be updated synchronously, which is clear at a glance.

Cheng Gang has already obtained the information he wants, so he will naturally reveal something in exchange: "We plan to enter semiconductors, and we want to acquire an AI chip company with a certain background in the industry and a good team."

"Secondmind is one of our goals."

The first reaction of the person in charge of the investment department of the Goose Factory opposite was:
"Are you going to enter semiconductors? The stock price of Kechuang Biology is going to rise again. I can consider buying a few hands and putting it aside."

"Semiconductors burn money, just a few billion will be burned."

"Are you going to make a brain-computer connection chip? That's right, if you want to have a deeper moat, you can only dig deep in this area."

"I've always been curious whether Mr. Zheng's brain is structured differently from ours. Not only is he strong in scientific research, he even has a good vision for the company's strategic layout."

"If you get out the brain-computer connection chip, it will be difficult for Musk's Neuralink to catch up with you."

From the perspective of a professional investor, he believes that Kechuangbio's leading edge in the field of brain-computer connection is not obvious enough.

Of course, the brain-computer connection field has a large market share, enough to accommodate several players.

However, the valuations given by the market are different for monopoly and one superpower.

St. Petersburg is cloudy all year round, and Perelman likes to think on cloudy days and daze when the sun is out.

When inspiration comes, I record it. When I don’t have inspiration, I keep thinking. I often think about what I wrote together to see if it can be strung together.

The more I think about it, the more I feel the subtlety of Heber's algorithm, which perfectly combines analysis, geometry and algebra.

Perelman found it almost impossible to develop a general method to find a general solution.

如果把问题进行简单化，就好比证明不了“1+1”，可以先从“8+9”开始慢慢推进到：“1+2”。

Perelman's idea is to use the Heber algorithm and the Heber constant to determine that there is a set of coordinates that match the magic coin.

Then compare and calculate the set with astronomical observation data to further narrow the set.

Finally, the smaller set is calculated by a supercomputer.

Currently stuck on the first step.

Russian computer scientists are doing the final step, researching suitable algorithms and writing programs.

They planned to start calculating while waiting for Perelman's progress.

The cold wind blew in through the window, making him shiver, and it was about to enter winter.

There is no way to collaborate on math problems, and basically there is no way to pressure researchers to speed up.

So in recent years, there have been news about tutors squeezing graduate students in other fields, but there has never been such news in mathematics majors.

Because if you don’t know it, you won’t know it. If you can’t think of it, you can’t think of it no matter how much you think about it. It’s not a subject that will definitely get results after spending time.

When it comes to problems in the forefront of mathematics, the gap between yes and no can not be filled with time.

On the contrary, the instructor is afraid that the students will get some mental illness due to their persistence.

Mathematicians in other countries have also thought of Perelman's ideas.

The Clay Institute of Mathematics in American simplified the problem and made it public, declaring that whoever solves the problem will get a grand prize of 1000 million yuan.

The Clay Institute of Mathematics is the institute that announced the Millennium Prize puzzles in 2000. Among the seven Millennium Prize puzzles, the Poincaré conjecture was proved by Perelman.

Although the Clay Institute of Mathematics has changed the face of the problem, it can be seen through at a glance in the eyes of those who are interested. This is to find the general solution of the Heber algorithm.

And England also organized a group of top mathematicians such as Wiles and Gowers to try to gather the strength of everyone to solve this problem.

The same is true for Russia, but when Perelman's thinking is deadlocked, he will listen to the thinking of his colleagues, but most of the time he stays alone and thinks quietly.

"The space is three-dimensional. I introduce the Toeplitz operator in the finite-dimensional space, and use the invariant orthogonal quantity of the operator under the canonical conjugate map."

"Can this form simplify the problem to a certain extent?"

"Then set the Toeplitz operator to be strongly continuous."

Perelman had an idea for a while, and he kept writing on the paper, filling a thick stack of white paper.

The cloudy sky had turned into night outside the window, and he looked at his own achievements in front of him.

Think over and over whether there are any logical loopholes, which have not been discovered.

"There is no problem here, and there is no problem here. The proof process should not be a big problem."

"In this way, the problem is simplified a bit, but this is also a phased result."

"We can take out the phased results and share them with everyone, and see if Driffeld has any ideas."

Russia's mathematics is quite strong, and in its heyday, it could compete with the entire West with the power of one country.
