Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 968 Heading towards the truth
The conversation reached a point, and the two became silent, each digesting the content of the conversation just now.

The central air conditioner in the chairman's office of Z Group kept the room at 27 degrees. Lindsay couldn't feel the temperature, but Chen Yan was already hot because of the nervousness of the chat just now. He took off his windbreaker and hung it on the hanger beside the sofa. After working on the computer for a while, he opened a drawing, and then turned the display to face Lindsay.

"Speaking of logic and philosophy, Mr. Darwin, look at this."

Lindsay looked at the screen and immediately frowned:
"Is this... a diagram of brain anatomy? Why do you want me to read this? You..."

He stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, and his eyes suddenly lit up:
"No! This is! Brain-computer chip?!"

Chen Yan nodded:

"It's actually an analysis diagram of the William Adams Group's [Turing] chip."

What Chen Yan showed Lindsay from the computer desktop was the design drawing of the [Turing] chip. This important business secret involving the underlying principles was simply sent to Chen Yan's mailbox through an email.

Lindsay was very pleasantly surprised, and even had some doubts because such a surprise was so extraordinary:
"They... sent this thing over so quickly?! I... thought that many follow-up agreements would be signed and some complicated confidentiality measures should be taken... How dare they send the analysis diagram of this chip so easily ? This... this is not right..."

Lindsay also witnessed the whole process when the impostor held a meeting with officials and Chen Changsheng in the conference room of the ring of domination in Zone Z.

Chen Yan said:

"Yes, I just saw this email when I came here... It seems that their efficiency is much faster than I thought."

Lindsay's eyes were completely attracted by the analysis diagram, and she didn't know what to say for a while:
"This... this is really..."

Chen Yan felt very complicated emotions from Lindsay. These emotions include not only "surprise", but also strong "doubt", "resistance" and "vigilance" - the emotion of "vigilance" is stronger than other emotions. a bit more.

Lindsay settled down, and quickly sorted out her emotions, with a flash of reminiscence in her eyes:

"I didn't expect to see this thing so soon, this thing... should be seen only after signing a very high-level confidentiality agreement.

Although it is a counterfeit, he did a good job in this matter. "

Chen Yan thought so too.

Lindsay leaned back on the chair, and the color of reminiscence in his eyes became stronger:
“[Turing] series chips were developed many years ago. At that time, because the technology was not mature, they turned to the Byron Weiss Group and got some help.

However, the [Turing] series of chips and the [Mimicry Neural Network] of the Byron Weiss Group are two completely different routes. Once there is an intersection, either party will become impure.

Therefore, out of consideration for the independence of science and technology, we who were responsible for the research and creation of the [Mimicry Neural Network] were banned from contacting the developers of the [Turing] series of chips.

I didn't expect... to see this blueprint in such a way. "

It is said that it is a drawing, but it is actually a bit inaccurate. What Chen Yan displayed on the screen is actually a complete PPT file, with more than 300 pages, which was transmitted this morning. Chen Yan received a push when he just turned on the computer , I just found out that there is this thing... It was a completely unexpected surprise.

Apart from being pleasantly surprised, Chen Yan was actually still uneasy, because he didn't know all the good news about the Turing chip—he still remembered what Andil O.R. Genossen said:

“The underlying logic of [Turing Chip] is already the pinnacle of chip science, and chip science will not have a breakthrough in decades, so once you cooperate with William Adams Group, you will be in [ Get lost in the underlying logic structure of the Turing Chip]—you will enter the logic maze cast by the [Turing Chip], and you will never find your own path.”

This remark was made by Andil in Chen Yan's office, but Lindsay didn't know it.

But the meaning of what Lindsay said just now overlapped with Andil's meaning.

Chen Yan thought he had to tell Lindsay this fact, so he repeated Andil's words to Lindsay.

Lindsay's pupils shrank slightly after hearing this:
"Who told you this?"

Chen Yan said:

"It's a man named Andil O'Rigennossen. He appeared in the meeting at the Ring of Dominion. He was the bearded man who led the debate."

Another moment of silence.

"You may not believe it when you say it, but I have seen this person before."

Lindsay said in a low voice:

"The memory is already very blurred, so when I saw him in the conference room of the Ring of Dominion, I could barely recognize him.

He... used to be a middle-level executive of the Byron Weiss Group, serving the company as an agent for certain projects. "

Andil O.R.G. Nosen had too many identities, and Chen Yan was no stranger to this situation.

Lindsay's memory continues:

"At that time, I just joined the company and made some achievements in the project. I entered the neural construction department and became a staff member.

At that time, the senior executives of the Byron Weiss Group had already proposed the concept of "mimetic neural network". As a programmer of the neural architecture department, I was responsible for the simulation composition of the basic framework of "mimetic neural network".

I just said [Once there is an intersection, either side will become impure]. This concept was told to us by the original project agent, Mr. Andil O'Rigennossen.

It’s just that I didn’t have a choice at the beginning, so the research on neural architecture and other programs was completely isolated. Even if I wanted to know other chip research ideas, there was no way. "

Lindsay looked at Chen Yan, and the latter read the same confusion as himself from his eyes.

What is Andil going to do?
But he didn't do anything so far, he just gave Chen Yan a choice... It didn't even count as a choice, he just gave Chen Yan a reminder to let Chen Yan make his own choice.

"So."

Lindsay leaned back on the chair, her eyes were a little distracted:

“Before we came into contact with the [Turing chip], we could only think that his hypothesis was valid—in fact, his hypothesis was indeed valid. It is also an electronic biotechnology, and it is also for the purpose of creating a central processing unit. And the system architecture that serves the central processing unit, once you touch both at the same time, the ideas will inevitably converge, and in this way, the two will not be pure."

Chen Yan put forward his own opinion:

"I don't think that's the case because the situation was different back then than it is now.

At that time, both the [Mimicry Neural Network] and the [Turing Chip] were under development. If the logic intersects, there may indeed be a risk of homogeneity.

But it is different now, [Mimicry Neural Network] has been perfected to the product application stage - [Mimicry Neural Network] has been widely used in the body of the brain-machine human, accumulated a lot of experience and carried out effective iterations.

The [Turing Chip] has also reached the stage of application that can be put into social production.

Both have come of age.

At least at this stage are all mature.

So, I think, as far as the two are concerned at this stage, if you don't contact them in order to avoid contamination of your thinking, it is basically the same as giving up eating because of choking. "

The distraction in Lindsay's eyes gradually disappeared.

"Is such that."

Lindsay seemed enlightened.

"This is a very simple truth, but I am limited by knowledge and inherent concepts, and I can't figure it out for a while."

Chen Yan recalled what he had learned about chips, combined with the previous conversation with Lindsay, said:

"Then, let's continue to look-the central processing unit is the crystallization of logic, the centralization and purification of the underlying principles, then, logically speaking, the central processing unit chip should be the closest to the underlying rules in our world." thing.

This thing is concrete rather than abstract, which is easier for us to understand.

So, if we study it—even through your [abstracting] it, will the abstract things produced be the corresponding things in the deeper world of the central processing unit—even in the BIOS? "

Lindsay said with certainty:
"Yes!"

Lindsay was slightly excited:
"I don't know when they will send the [Turing Chip] in kind."

Chen Yan thought about it:
"After the meeting we witnessed outside Zone Z, they started to go through the process. They just sent the documents this morning. I think the relevant guidance team should arrive soon. They must have brought the real thing."

Purely irresponsible speculation.

He changed the subject:
"But having said that, Mr. Darwin, why don't you come to my company's laboratory to conduct chip research?
It's not to limit your freedom, but now everything in this society is about money. Although you have extraordinary means, some things are not easy to touch——

Information barriers are sometimes much stronger than physical barriers, just like you were not allowed to touch Turing chips before. "

Lindsay looked solemn:

"indeed so!"

What Chen Yan said was all blunt. He didn't want to lie with someone who might have a long-term cooperative relationship. That would be bad for either party:

"If we cooperate, there is no need to talk about such things as contracts. I will provide you with research materials, human assistance and experimental environment. You can just do research with me.

I still have a little money now... Although I didn't earn it by myself... But it doesn't delay my spending, does it?

The key is that there is no risk in cooperating with me!I don't think about your ability all the time.

You will have complete independent research rights, and I will not interfere with your research.

You just need to tell me the results of the research, you don’t even need detailed data, just give me an easy-to-understand result. "

Lindsay was originally a researcher. If he had thought so much, he wouldn't foolishly devote himself to the Byron Weiss Group, and now even his entire department has been wiped out by the company.

Now he has the mentality to guard against others, but not much.

With a certain understanding of Chen Yan, he finally accepted Chen Yan's suggestion.

"Then, Mr. Chen, wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

For their own reasons, the two did not shake hands and reached a verbal agreement.

People like Lindsay don't need to be bound by paper agreements at all, because the establishment of paper agreements is essentially an endorsement of imperial law, and people like Lindsay will not be bound by laws at all, so paper agreements are not for him. Words are useless.

The most important thing to cooperate with Lindsay is credibility, which is a sincere exchange of trust and interests—interests are the cornerstone of cooperation, and trust is the basis for maintaining cooperation and continuing cooperation.

Chen Yan sat down, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Now Lindsay has also become his partner, and the counterfeiter invited Wan Brinmersh to guide the Z Group's research laboratory. More than half of it has been collected—the most important part, it is considered complete.

Chen Yan decided to tell Lindsay about Wan Brinmersh:
"Having said that, when I was able to come back, I would also like to thank your old colleague, Wan Brinmosh. Unfortunately, she was also... expelled from the Byron Weiss Group."

After learning about Wan Brinmosh's current situation from Chen Yan, Lindsay did not express too strong emotions, but Chen Yan still felt "resentment", "helplessness" and "regret" from him.

After rebirth, Lindsay seems to have richer emotions than when she was a pure human being. I don't know why.

"What has happened cannot be changed... If she was there, the research would go much smoother. At the beginning, she was responsible for sorting out and backing up all the files of the Department of Neuroarchitecture. If the follow-up research can be carried out on the basis of that year, everything will be faster. Progress."

Lindsay Robert Darwin regained his spirits, as if nothing could bring him down.

Chen Yan told Lindsay that the counterfeit had invited Wan Brinmosh to guide Z Group, and made it clear that he decided to continue this cooperation:
"If you need to bring back the people from back then, I can help."

Lindsay's eyes darkened for a moment:
"No need... Let's see if the current employees of Z Group are qualified enough to do things. If they are not qualified, we will make another plan."

Chen Yan didn't ask a single word, just said:
"You have the final say on things in the laboratory."

Lindsay was quite pleased with his attitude:

"In any case, I want to get access to the Turing processor as soon as possible."

Chen Yan asked:

"This time is not up to me, so I can't guarantee it.

Can other chips work? "

Lindsay explained:

"If you can get the latest architecture and the highest process chip, it's not impossible.

The architecture of the processor chip determines the computing logic of the processor, and the manufacturing process determines the computing power.

The more advanced the former, the more efficient the calculation logic contained in this processor, the more complete the instruction set, and the closer to the underlying rules.

The higher the standard of the latter, the clearer the things abstracted by this processor will be.

If it is too low-end, it will not work, at least not lower than 6nm. "
