Five days later, Jiang Cheng left Lanjing for Kyoto to give a lecture on the law of entropy increase. Many scholars from other countries came to hear him speak, and considering the large number of attendees, Qinghua gave up the largest lecture hall.
This is the largest lecture hall in all of China. Jiang Cheng stood on it, looking at the sea of people, and spoke eloquently.
That year, Jiang Cheng was the dean of both the Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, achieving the remarkable feat of having his lectures at prestigious universities sold out. That year, he was a pioneer and the leader of the New Era project, serving as the chief engineer of a controlled nuclear fusion power plant. That year, he turned eighteen, a month away from his birthday.
After learning about the law of entropy increase, his immediate task was to work on a quantum mechanical computer.
To be honest, Jiang Cheng wasn't very interested in this field. He spent a lot of time studying quantum mechanics, piling books all over his desk.
He found the physics theory incredibly profound and very difficult to understand. His primary motivation was to collaborate with Liu Kang to bring the chronic drug to market.
So this matter has been delayed.
Besides his daytime work, he reads for several hours every night.
Quantum mechanics, or quantum theory, is a physical theory that describes the behavior of microscopic matter, namely atomic nuclei and subatomic particles.
It can be said that, apart from gravity, our understanding of all fundamental forces, whether electromagnetism or the strong interaction, requires the foundation of quantum mechanics.
So what are the results of this theory? It solves some phenomena that are beyond our understanding.
Quantum mechanics is used to describe behavior at the microscopic level, and particle phenomena cannot be precisely explained by classical mechanics.
According to the Copenhagen interpretation, a particle has no physical properties before it is observed. However, after observation, depending on the measuring instrument, its particle properties may be observed, its wave properties may be observed, or it may be observed that it has both particle and wave properties. This is wave-particle duality.
In layman's terms, quantum mechanics is one of the scientific means by which we understand the world. It exists in the same way as Newton's law of universal gravitation and can be used to explain wave-particle duality.
In the field of computers, quantum mechanics is applied to physical devices that perform high-speed mathematical and logical operations, storing and processing quantum information, by following the laws of mechanics. Furthermore, the more information present, the more powerful the computation.
This research has already been conducted in the world of science, but there has been no breakthrough. The reward given to Jiangcheng by the system is, strictly speaking, a breakthrough in the existing quantum computer.
From the birth of the first programmable general-purpose quantum computer in the United States a decade ago, to the successful simulation of a 42-bit quantum computer by the Lich Research Center, and its recent entry into the commercial field, it has made a huge contribution to the electronics industry.
However, whether it's the reward corresponding to the human genome or any other system reward based on the law of entropy increase, the difference is far too great, so he didn't bother to consider it much until now when he's completely relaxed and free from trivial matters.
He suddenly didn't understand.
What makes quantum computers comparable to those extraordinary research methods?
Jiang Cheng sat in his office, surrounded by piles of documents. He used his computer to create mind maps and write down the theory behind the entire research.
Time ticked by, and the clock on the wall swung incessantly. He was so engrossed in his work that he didn't hear Gu Qingwan knocking on the door until she came in to ask for some instructions.
After his urgent investigation, he discovered that some things were not as simple as they seemed.
The deeper he went, the more unusual a feeling he felt. This was a researcher's keen intuition. After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Cheng chose to trust his own judgment.
He didn't believe that something so brilliantly advanced on the technology tree was merely meant to promote the development of the electronics industry.
There must be other deeper meanings behind it.
After this idea emerged, the process of extending quantum computing gradually became dry and obscure, until one morning a few days later, Jiang Cheng irritably turned his face to the side, no longer wanting to look at the computer screen.
The mind map above is completely stuck.
His direction was off.
Jiang Cheng no longer thought about how to create a quantum computer that could surpass other countries by a tiny margin. He wanted to figure out if there were other ways to change fixed ways of thinking.
Like a variant in a gene reagent.
Overturn all previous ideas and forge a new path, only then can we possibly crush the progress of other countries.
However, this is the theory provided by the technology tree system.
Jiang Cheng was also deeply conflicted. He had always followed a fixed system and route. Was it a mistake to abandon the existing theories and explore other paths on his own?
This time, he is not fighting against the world, but against a technological tree that transcends the world.
This was a brave decision, but being brave doesn't mean being right.
Jiang Cheng sat motionless in front of the computer, staring intently at the mind map. His mind was racing, deep in thought. His brows furrowed and relaxed intermittently. Outside the Institute of Biotechnology, darkness had fallen, and the last rays of the setting sun cast their glow.
He just sat there, not moving an inch.
After about two hours, Jiangcheng finally couldn't hold on any longer.
His mind is a complete mess right now. The more he thinks and ponders, the more the chaotic information easily leads to unclear ideas, making it impossible to sort out a correct line of thought.
The process was too agonizing, making Jiang Cheng feel agitated. He stood up, intending to put the matter aside, eat his meal, and get some rest.
Jiang Cheng, wearing a white shirt, straightened his collar, stretched, stood up, and walked towards the door.
The things on the table were in a mess; he hadn't tidied them up.
A piece of information wrapped in a blue folder was sticking out, protruding a few centimeters from the table. By sheer coincidence, he bumped into it as he brushed past the table.
With a "thud".
The data landed, revealing a complex image inside. It was a study on the human brain that an elderly professor from Kyoto People's Hospital had sent some time ago.
The A4-sized image is densely covered with annotations, including explanations of the central reticular formation in the brainstem, where intricate neurons enable the human body's incredibly sophisticated control system.
He looked at the document, bent down to pick it up, and was about to tidy it up and put it back in its place when...
"Neuron".
Three words stumbled into his eyes.
Jiang Cheng's gaze instantly sharpened. He remained crouched, motionless, and did not stand up for a long time. He was completely captivated by the report.
An idea that both surprised and delighted him popped into his mind.
What if we overturned the central processing unit of a quantum computer and instead used the human brain's reticular formation system to connect neurons? Would that be a new approach?
As we all know, the brain is the most important thing for humans, containing all wisdom, and it has not yet been fully developed. No science can explain why the human brain is so sophisticated; even God could not have created such a masterpiece.
"Brain-like".
Those two words struck Jiangcheng to the core.
