The end of technology.

Chapter 217 Ning Zi's Purpose

After sending the old man into the car and watching the car go away, Ning Zi looked at the time, and there was still half an hour before the scheduled display time, so she hugged March and started walking in the base.

I talked a little too much today, but I can't help it.The population problem is a big problem. China has a large population, but its age structure is no longer suitable for the development of the future space age.And the focus is on the population of childbearing age. To put it bluntly, it is the quality of the population structure.

March actually doesn't care much about this issue, but Ning Zi does.

This is related to the issue of what kind of flags fly on the planets conquered by humans in the first batch of solar systems in the future, so it is very important.

Leaving aside the planets outside the solar system, there are currently only a few planets in the solar system that are suitable for transformation.Except that the moon is too close to the earth to dare to move around, several other planets will start to transform within 20 years.

And all the planets are actually pretty close together.Even without the help of medium space, a spaceship that reaches zero mass through calculation load in the future may be able to fly at the speed of light, so there must be a strong foundation of civilization to ensure the stability of the solar system.

To put it simply, even if there are any moths in the future extraterrestrial civilization, as long as they have the channel of the medium space, there is a natural barrier like the Oort Nebula at the edge of the solar system, and it has a strong refusal function.Of course, it is still a little far away to consider these issues at this time.

But people without long-term worries must have near-term worries.

For Ning Zi, immediate worries are really nothing, so he can naturally think further.

The base is very quiet, probably due to the fact that there are guard posts everywhere.Even invited guests are not allowed to run around in the base.

Although there is actually nothing to keep secret on the ground, rules are rules.

The older she gets, the more Ning Zi realizes the importance of rules.

This is like the principle of entropy increase in physics. All chaos begins with the breaking of tiny rules.

There will always be too many people who keep testing the bottom line of the rules from a small place. At the beginning, no one cares about that little breakthrough, but every breakthrough of the rules is recorded. More and more people follow suit.

Many people think that Zhuo Mingqian can only flatter, that's why he is deeply trusted by Ning Zi.But the truth is, Zhuo Mingqian is the most thorough one around Ning Zi who is willing to uphold the rules for him and offend people.

This young man who is always smiling, even when he turns his face, is not noticed by others, but he can always use thunderous wrists to drive all rule breakers into the bottom of the valley, and even drive them out of the base directly.Everyone thought that it was Ning Zi who stood behind Zhuo Mingqian, and even Zhuo Mingqian himself thought so, but it was all a misunderstanding.

Zhuo Mingqian's real backing was actually the kitten in Ning Zi's arms.

Because all the rules of the entire base are actually formulated by the kitten, Zhuo Mingqian is like a substitute for the kitten.With a smile on his behalf, he tried everything he was lucky enough to do for the kitten, and dealt with it in a way that humans can understand.In order to maintain the authority of the base rules and ensure the efficient operation of various projects within the base.

Of course, the reason why Sanyue and Zhuo Mingqian can have such confidence is because there is really no so-called only key person in any project in the base.If there is, it is the huge database controlled by March.Those standards and laboratory results will indeed give many people the illusion, but in fact, when they leave the platform, they will find how difficult it is to start from scratch.

As a qualified artificial intelligence, March can break down each phased achievement, bury it in the task line and distribute it.As a result, each of the thousands of laboratories under it feels that their tasks are the most important, but in fact, the work of each laboratory can be replaced at any time without delay.

Today is a major turning point.

The interview of the N1 robot is not only the future, but also the present.

It means that the needs of the entire laboratory are more high-end, because those repetitive experiments will be completely replaced by robots, and the remaining people need to provide creative labor rather than repetitive labor.

In other words, the term scientific research migrant workers will become history in the future, and independent robot platforms will completely replace these scientific research migrant workers. Things like washing bottles can even be done by robots plugged in for 24 hours a day.

You only need to set the test program for the robot first, so you don't need to pay attention to the whole test process.

In the age of intelligence, even programs do not need to be written by themselves.

After all, there is March.

Yes, when the N1 robots began to spread all over the base, it meant that March's control ability was further improved.

In a sense, although artificial intelligence was created by humans, it is more efficient than human life forms.This is related to his physical weakness, but to his strong will.Theoretically speaking, the existence of artificial intelligence can make the machine have a unified will. Compared with the individual consciousness of human beings, the machine does not have the interference of individual consciousness, and only the only consciousness makes decisions. When facing a crisis, it is often more resistant. ability.

Because this will implementation mode does not have internal friction and waste of resources and time.

Enlarged to the group, it can implement on-demand allocation without hindrance, so as to maximize resource utilization.

The simplest analogy is that if human society as a whole lacks 20.00% of the food to feed everyone in the world, then the result is a high probability that food prices will rise to 90.00% or even more people cannot afford food and fall into famine.But if the machine world lacks [-]% of the electricity to move all the robots, then the worst result is that [-]% of the robots with low production capacity will be eliminated willingly, and the remaining [-]% of the robots will quickly find a solution to get rid of energy. crisis.

Of course, this cannot simply be used to judge the high level or low level of civilization.

Although the continuation of civilization like human beings is inefficient, it is the difference in individual consciousness that can promote the complexity and diversity of civilization. Although machine civilization is efficient, there is a high probability that the development of a unified will without individuality will be due to the lack of creative thinking in the later stage. Finally lost the target and fell into dead silence.

These have been verified by simulation calculations. Speaking of which, the importance of mathematics is reflected here, and it can even predict everything.Of course, the premise is that there needs to be an efficient computing center to complete the deduction.And it is possible to draw wrong conclusions because of the wrong data initially brought in.But if the probability theory is introduced, the calculation results can be infinitely close to reality.

In short, mathematics is too powerful, Ning Zi secretly sighed in his heart.

This is why Ning Zi has always trusted March.The combination of two different civilizations is the best way to survive.Artificial intelligence relies on human beings to extend the tentacles of civilization to every corner of the universe, which is the most suitable choice for machine thinking.

In this way, Ning Zi took a walk in the base, silently planning the future development direction in his heart, and when he felt a chill in his body, he just walked into the No. [-] building on the surface.

Below the No. 1 building is the test hall of the N1 robot, and it is also the place where we demonstrated the capabilities of the N1 robot with the partners of the base today.Yes, the N[-] humanoid robot base has no intention of announcing it to the public at all, but just invited some partners to get a general idea of ​​the situation.

It can be understood as cheering up the partners, and it can also be understood as showing off some income, so that some people can help the development of the base with more peace of mind, and don't have other messy thoughts.In the words of March, it means that partners need to be beaten all the time to make them realize the importance of partners, and don't give birth to some messy thoughts.

The N1 robot is the only thing that can be sold at the base recently.

There is no way, the rice has to be eaten mouthful.

To be honest, the efficiency of the base is already high enough, it cannot be done faster.

……

In the very simply furnished VIP activity room, Dou Liao really took a sip of coffee, silently watching Ge Dongshu in the corner, like a little bee, circling with many people.

People are different after all.

Just like today, more than a dozen people have gathered in the simple room with the sign of the so-called VIP activity room, and Ge Dongshu obviously knows most of them, either he is looking for someone to chat with, or someone else greets him on his own initiative.As far as he is a technical worker, no one knows him.

That may not be accurate, but he can still recognize a few celebrities.

For example, the CEO of Apple is very similar to the one in the video.

There are two other people who have visited Youwei Group, and Dou Liaozhen also gave a speech as a technical representative at the meeting.But it was limited to this. Although he might have shaken hands at that time, there is a high probability that the other party will not recognize him now.

This is the sorrow of technical people. Unless they can stand out like Ning Zi, most of the time, they will not be taken seriously.

He felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable, and what made him even more annoyed was that the coffee provided in this so-called VIP activity room turned out to be instant, and there was not even a serious coffee machine.The tea that I want to provide is similar.

It's somewhat like not treating VIPs as VIPs.

But then again, he was obviously not the highest-status among the guests invited this time, and the others didn't have any opinions, so of course he couldn't say anything.

"Hi..."

Just as Dou Liaozhen was silently holding the sofa in the corner, thinking of something he had nothing to do, he suddenly heard someone greet him, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a neatly dressed blond girl with very curly hair. The natural golden color, paired with fair skin, looks very layered.

Dou Liaozhen raised a finger and pointed at himself. Obviously, the other party understood his meaning, smiled and said: "I feel that you are not used to this kind of atmosphere, and I happen to be too. Can you understand? Headphones?"

Very standard American English, but fortunately Dou Liao really passed the oral English test, and immediately replied: "No, my English is not bad."

"That's great. I'm President Cook's entourage. My name is Nina Madelais. You can call me Nina. What about you?"

"I'm an algorithm engineer of Youwei Group. My name is Dou Liaozhen. Uh, sorry, I don't have an English name."

"Oh, you came with Manager Ge?"

Dou Liaozhen nodded, this kind of familiar chat mode made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But how should I put it, even nerds are always tolerant to the good-looking opposite sex unconsciously, and it just so happens that this Nina is quite good-looking.

"Then you must be an important person, after all, this is a small gathering." Nina said naturally.

"Uh, actually, it was this time that Academician Ning invited me." Dou Liaozhen said honestly.

"Wow, I was personally invited by Ning...wait a minute, Dou Liaozhen... I remembered that the paper by Professor Tedelak of MIT using reinforcement learning technology to make the robot Campus walk seems to have a personal signature It's very similar to your name."

"Well, I'm actually a student of Professor Tedelach, and that paper is the result of our cooperation. But what I'm doing is optimization-based motion planning." Regarding the recognition by the woman in front of him, let Dou Liao Zhen felt a little surprised, but I have to say, it feels pretty good.

"Oh, I also learned something about this after I learned that I was going to come here. I just saw that paper not long ago. By the way, what do you think of Jonathan Hearst's work?"

Jonathan Hirst, as mentioned by women, is also one of the few scholars in the world who study machine movement.As a colleague, Dou Liaozhen certainly knows something, which just rightly made him open up the chatterbox.

"How should I put it? Jonathan is also a teacher I respect very much. His achievements in robotics are recognized. Including the Mable used by Kool, the Marlo used now, and the Cassie that will be bought soon are all developed by his team. Yes. But to be honest, the controller he called up is basically based on the spring-loaded inverted pendulum model. The depth of the method and mathematics is relatively general, and the versatility is limited. Compared with the motion planning technology of the N1 robot...their technology is probably only It can be described as low-end."

Dou Liao really commented professionally.

"You must be responsible for it." Nina commented.

These words made Dou Liaozhen feel slightly at a loss as to how to answer.

Well, with his personality, he really can't say anything to take credit for it.

It is absolutely not pertinent to say that he has no contribution at all in terms of the motion algorithm of the N1 robot.

But to say that he contributed a lot, Dou Liaozhen is actually a little guilty.

His dissatisfaction with Ning Zi was more due to the fact that when he communicated with him, he always carried all kinds of cynicism.But for every time Ning Zi modified the code for him, he was very grateful for speeding up the progress.This kind of psychology is very contradictory, but it is very real.

To put it simply, in Dou Liaozhen's opinion, Ning Zi's personality is very bad, and sometimes he even wants to have a real-life PK with Ning Zi!But if you really compete professionally, there are indeed some advantages.To be honest, they have been lagging behind the progress of the N1 robot...

Fortunately, at this critical moment, someone helped him out.

The man Dou Liaozhen hated and loved just happened to walk into the room, and naturally attracted everyone's attention, including Miss Nina beside him of course.

"Oh, everyone, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. Please move to the viewing room downstairs. Today I will introduce the N1 robot to you. If you want to reminisce about the old days, you can wait until lunch time. As you know, I The time is as usual, very rushed."
