Chương 456: An Old Friend
Zhang Yuan found that the young partners around him, although they agreed with their mouths, they didn't really listen to them.
Without experiencing that era, it is impossible to have that kind of empathy, and everything becomes natural. Perhaps, this itself is a limitation brought about by too little experience of a person. This limitation will not be compensated by an increase in IQ.
"Come on, you young people will rule the world in the future!" Professor Xue found that he was talking a little too much in his joy, and waved his hand quickly.
Walking out of the gate of the laboratory, an old friend is already waiting eagerly. 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, "extraordinary" usually use the body cloned from the original cells, and the genes may be fine-tuned, but they haven't changed much.
Therefore, in the experiment just now, Zhang Yuan easily recognized this winking guy in the crowd.
"John?!"
"Old Zhang, it's me! Have a drink?"
"Let's go! There's a nice restaurant over there, I'll treat you."
With double happiness at the door, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but smile when he saw his old friend, and his mood became even better.
The two walked into a roadside restaurant, ordered some food, and then ordered a small glass of red wine.
These scientific researchers habitually don't like to let alcohol damage their brains, but seeing their old friends today, they are happy, so they can't help but make an exception, as long as they don't get drunk, there is no big problem.
John took the lead and said: "Congratulations, a genius is a genius, no matter which world you are in, you are a genius... You have made achievements again, and it seems to be the same way a long, long time ago. It is as easy as picking a tree from a tree apple."
"There are more geniuses now than in the past, and with the great improvement in learning ability, there is a lot more to explore!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "If you don't work harder, you will be far away from other people." Left behind."
"...But if it weren't for the intelligence improvement and human-computer interaction capabilities brought about by the assisted brain, I think it might take ten times, or even twenty times more time to complete this job."
In this era, with the aid of the brain and some human chip technology, whether it is mathematical modeling or typing code, it is not known how much simpler than before.
On the other hand, the rise of memory has broken down a lot of barriers between disciplines. In the past, geniuses studied hard all their lives, and might only be proficient in a small part. Now ordinary people can quickly learn more knowledge, master several subjects, and the combination of different subjects has become possible.
John nodded in agreement, "The series of changes brought about by super memory is indeed an epoch-making high-tech... We finally passed this threshold. It is hard to imagine that if we fail to pass this threshold, our current What will society become? It may also be lifeless like some virtual worlds."
"Two or three hundred years ago, wasn't it like this... a dangerous era, fortunately, we have already crossed it."
Sometimes it is only a generation before the fall of a civilization.
Hearing this piece of history, Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing. John was still the same John. He remembered that this guy had been worrying about the future of the earth's civilization when he was in the era of the earth. As a result, he said that the earth's civilization had declined.
Now I am worried about the problem of "not crossing the threshold" that seems to have been solved.
"That was indeed a dangerous period of time, indeed very dangerous. I have read papers related to assisting the brain, although I don't quite understand it..."
Zhang Yuan said: "Although the threshold of this intelligence is high, it is not so high that it is unimaginable. I think that as long as we learn from enough samples of intelligent life and crack the memory code, there is still not much problem. It's just that How much time is the problem. However, our human civilization may not be able to persist for hundreds of thousands of years, this may be the limitation of human beings."
Human memory has been greatly improved, and even the overall intelligence has been improved a lot. Like the "ε-δ" language in advanced mathematics, it is not difficult to understand as long as it is memorized by rote.
Many people are surprised to find that certain seemingly difficult subjects, such as group theory and topology, which have a lot of definitions and concepts, are all simplified a lot after rote memorization.
When rote memorization became an instinct, it actually became a trick. You will find that many subjects are not difficult.
John said: "The most important thing is that in terms of logical thinking, human beings have not improved substantially. Therefore, the improvement brought by the auxiliary brain is still limited. This dangerous history may still come back and defeat us."
The more abstract the knowledge, the more associative ability is needed, and the less improvement it can bring.
Biological scientists still don't know how to improve the seemingly abstract ability of "logical thinking ability" by transforming the brain.
Moreover, the memory that the human brain can process is still limited. It is no problem for human beings to be proficient in three or five subjects, but they cannot master thirty or fifty subjects.
The auxiliary brain can only record part of the memories, not all of them. The brain itself is also responsible for some memories. It is too difficult to integrate a large number of memories.
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "The current situation is very good. It is impossible to reach the sky in one step. Professor Tu, who made the final charge and picked up the bright pearl, passed away 30 years ago. I really want to meet this hero ah."
"It's indeed a pity, but the research and development of this brain-assisted technology has taken more than five hundred years, and it is not the credit of Professor Tu alone."
Even with some small flaws, the two are still very satisfied with the current scientific progress, or simply can't be satisfied anymore. The worries about civilization are long-term, but they cannot cover up the 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 for a while: "The incompleteness theorem of random numbers! It proves that 'true random numbers' cannot be generated by the algorithm itself... that is, information itself cannot generate information. This theorem is really too strong. It is about the nature of the universe, the self. Consciousness, and even a crucial step for strong artificial intelligence!"
Computers can indeed generate true random numbers with the help of user activity or hardware instability. There are even specially made "true random number generators" that can use the randomness of molecular thermal motion to output random sequences. However, without the help of the external environment, the computer still cannot use the algorithm itself to generate true random numbers.
Randomness is inseparable from strong artificial intelligence. Under the guidance of theory, how to create strong artificial intelligence is another big topic.
"Second is subatomic theory that can break quark confinement."
Quark confinement, in simple terms, is to pull apart the energy of the combined quarks, enough to form new quarks in the vacuum, combine with the original quarks, and as a result, no separate quarks are obtained. But after the introduction of subquarks and subleptons, a small amount of energy can be used to leverage the conversion between quarks and generate 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 quark energy can be used, mass production of antimatter will no longer be a problem. It is still a bit difficult to rely on nuclear fusion energy alone. Antimatter is basically the strongest weapon of a third-level civilization, or even a fourth-level civilization."
Zhang Yuan shook his head: "No, quarks can reach trillions of degrees of high temperature. It is really impossible to make a small-scale energy chamber, and even the scale of the Bright Galaxy is still too small. If you hollow out a planet, rely on The volume inside is pretty good."
