Chapter 396: Old Thousand Layer Cake



Chen Feng talked about his plan in detail on how to improve the living security of young scientists.

Of course, some top scholars with extremely high achievements will have the opportunity to receive high bonuses if they can complete cross-era research and promise to share their knowledge with the association.

And the association will not want your patents, but only your knowledge, and will not monopolize it.

The cooperation model is in-depth communication. For example, you can join a large project led by the association and be responsible for part of the technical research, or provide your own ideas to the association and participate in the assessment of the significance of the prospects.

If the association recognizes your research, you can also choose to accept research-level sponsorship and personal life sponsorship.

Different levels of sponsorship will have different conditions, but personal life sponsorship does not require you to pay any additional rights.

If the association does not recognize your project, of course it has no right to forcibly stop you, but forget about all kinds of sponsorship.

Chen Feng's protection association does not touch new patents at all, and does not even share money. The purpose is only to help these top scientists assess whether their projects are meaningful.

Chen Feng proposed something big, and hoped that these people would stand up together to cheer for him. Lawrence and others could not make a decision for a while, and had to consider it carefully.

Chen Feng was not surprised by everyone's concern.

When any new thing with great historical significance is born, it will make people worry.

Moreover, his association is completely based on his noble personal sharing sentiment and potential super-strong financial support. It is still full of unknowns and may also die in the womb.

He is not in a hurry to let people make decisions, just to sow new seeds again.

Usually, as long as it is an innovative project led by top scientists who really do things, even if the research project is declared a complete failure in the end, the failure itself can still have considerable value.

This value may only be to eliminate a wrong answer, or it may be that some additional results are discovered in the process of development.

Assuming that the projects with a total investment of more than 100 million yuan in the world are summarized, it can be roughly divided like this.

About 10% of the projects can exceed the expected goals, satisfying the original plan and obtaining more in-depth conclusions or products, or the products of a certain intermediate link are actually of extremely high value.

30~40% of the projects can just achieve the expected goals. This type of project usually belongs to applied scientific research, and every link from project establishment to promotion has strict planning. The project plan can even accurately complete which link in which month.

30% of the projects can be almost completed halfway, and this type of project has both theoretical research and practical application.

About 30% of the projects are complete failures, which usually means that they went in the wrong direction from the beginning and could not even produce reliable intermediate products.

This cannot be blamed on the scientists who worked on the failed projects.

Because failure is limited by the times.

For example, if he could not give a direct answer to the ultra-low process carbon structure chips and room-temperature superconducting metals and had not completed the advance layout of other related materials sciences, it would have been a pure waste of resources to devote all his efforts to these in the early 21st century.

Asking some of the scientific research staff engaged in these projects to grow sweet potatoes may make a greater contribution to the times. After all, less loss is a win.

What Chen Feng wants to do most is to use his "foresight" to avoid the last 30% of projects from being successfully approved.

This is of course part of the "Five Hundred Years Plan".

Master Chen thinks it's time to start.

In the past month when he was active in the 21st century, most of his attention was focused on the literary and artistic circles.

That was because he was weak and had insufficient influence, so he got half the result with twice the effort in the academic world.

Now the situation is different. With the Star Institute under construction and two versions of "The Madman's Conjectures", and the words he publicly said at the Linton Institute, his voice in the academic world has increased.

So when he found the opportunity, he decisively began to lay out, trying to make the most of his advantage of knowing the future.

He needs to be careful when he presents more advanced leapfrog theories so as not to mislead the students, but it is much easier for him to eliminate wrong answers.

It is right to kill a crappy project when you see one.

After the few people finished chatting, the meeting officially began and everyone took their seats.

Chen Feng's seat was quite near the front row, with Lawrence on the left and Ihlen on the right.

One after another, well-known scholars took the stage to expound their respective views.

Unlike the doomsday theories of alien threats that have no theoretical basis and are purely inflammatory in the field of folk science, those who can appear in this conference room and speak on the stage are very reliable.

This is a serious occasion, and the speaker cannot speak nonsense, but must come up with something convincing enough to support his argument.

For example, the first person to take the stage was a master in the fields of artificial intelligence, computer programming, mathematics, and psychology.

He perfectly combined the ideas of biology and computer science, and also integrated a lot of knowledge in psychology, and analyzed the direction of human brain thinking in a simple and in-depth manner.

He believes that humans have been under the control of advanced civilizations from birth to evolution to the current level.

Humans and human genes are the products of super-high-level programming.

This person even used Chen Feng's infinite genetic information theory and regarded it as further evidence in the field of quantum programming.

And this person also came to the scene like a TED talk, with a few small psychology experiments.

The test project was completely successful, and he really got the pulse of most of the audience's thinking.

He finally concluded that according to the current development speed of computer theory, after a thousand years, when human quantum information network is sufficiently developed and programming concept reaches a certain stage, human beings will penetrate the essence of thinking and evolution through quantum computing breakthroughs and begin to communicate with advanced civilizations, or enter the stage of resistance depicted in the movie "The Matrix".

Chen Feng smiled and said nothing.

The theory sounds perfect, but it is actually useless.

In the eight timelines he experienced, in addition to the basic science of materials and energy, artificial intelligence is actually the fastest progress of mankind.

It took seven timelines to go from the scattered and ordinary central intelligent brain to the first generation of stars.

Then this time the second generation of stars evolved, and the computing power increased countless times.

But he still hasn't seen the day when the human brain can be deciphered by programming.

If it is really possible, he also wants to, quantum immortality, how exciting it sounds?

Who doesn't want immortality?

If there is someone who can break through the boundaries of human beings first, it must be him.

Well, it may also be the mother of a child whose brain has evolved particularly fiercely.

The second speaker is a famous physicist, the Nobel Prize winner ten years ago.

After this big guy came up, he started from his own professional field and focused on analyzing some rare physical phenomena that ordinary people cannot know.

His theory is completely different from that of the artificial intelligence big guy.

He also believed that there are aliens in the universe, and that aliens had come to Earth in ancient times.

But humans were not disturbed or helped by aliens during their growth.

He cited a lot of evidence.

Chen Feng was also fresh to hear, because some of the evidence listed by this big guy were "rumors" that had been repeatedly refuted at the level of ordinary people.

Chen Feng did not expect that these rumors were actually true.

The physics big guy believed that aliens were "observers" lurking in the universe, whose duty was to maintain the order of the universe and protect new embryonic civilizations.

When Chen Feng heard this, he almost laughed out loud.

I really believed your lies.

If the compound eye was a kind observer, he would wake up with a laugh even when he was asleep.

But he did not laugh after all.

Although the physicist's conclusion is a bit crooked, the process of reasoning and calculation is very convincing.

He accurately calculated that alien civilizations visited the Earth in 1019 AD and around 2019 AD.

Although the physicist seemed quite unconfident when stating his conclusion, Master Chen was extremely surprised.

According to Chen Feng's calculations, the compound eyes did visit the Earth at some stage between the 11th and 20th centuries AD.

Assume that the patrol route of a spherical battleship is a round-trip zigzag line.

The straight-line distance from the Earth to the center of the Milky Way is about 27,000 light-years.

The radius of the Milky Way is about 80,000 light-years. The farther out, the lower the distribution density of stars.

The Earth itself is relatively close to the center of the Milky Way.

According to the information collected by the colony, it took the spherical battleship and frigate fleet five hundred years to reach the Earth from the center of the Milky Way.

The time required for a spherical battleship to complete a patrol is two thousand years.

If it is a zigzag round trip, the time difference is one thousand years, and it passes through a certain point twice.

So assuming that the patrol route of the compound eyes is a zigzag, the Earth should be located at the midpoint of the patrol route of the spherical battleship.

And the compound eyes only patrol the high-density area 50,000

light-years away from the center of the Milky Way. As for the low-density area 50,000 light-years away from the center of the Milky Way, the compound eyes may have only deployed some small intelligent units such as dragonfly fighters.

The spherical battleship should have passed through the solar system twice, around 1000 AD and 2000 AD, which is consistent with the "amateur" calculation results of this physicist.

In addition, the solar system barrier did not reach the solar system until 2500.

There is a paradox here.

The technological level of mankind in 2000 AD must be much higher than when the travelers were launched in 1977.

But the compound eyes did not decide to exterminate humans at that time. On the surface, this is unreasonable.

Assuming that the patrol route of the compound eyes is circular, and the earth is located at a certain point in the circular route.

Then there are two possibilities. The two previous times that the spherical battleship passed by the earth should be 1000 AD and 1000 BC (when the solar system was in the second half of the circular route), and 2000 AD and 1 AD (when the solar system was in the first half of the circular route).

Chen Feng previously thought that both zigzag and loop patrols were possible, but now he thinks that zigzag patrols are more likely.

In 2019, when the compound eyes passed by the earth, they may not have decided to take extreme actions. They probably did some "trivial things" and prepared to check the situation again in a thousand years.

It's a pity that Chen Feng had not yet become a galactic human at that time, and the connection between his brain and "cosmic wisdom" was not close, otherwise he would have been able to find some clues last year and give himself the most accurate conclusion. So why

did the compound eyes change their minds in 2500?

Of course, it was because the order to destroy the earth's civilization did not come from within the compound eyes, but from a higher-level civilization that created the electron black hole and the solar system barrier.

Although there are still many points worth discussing about the time nodes estimated by Chen Feng in his mind.

He couldn't produce any definite evidence, but his intuition told him that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.

So although some parts of the calculations of these contemporary scholars were ridiculously wrong, some parts were also of great reference value.

The third person who went up to speak was beyond his expectations. It was Ellen Irwin.

Ellen's topic surprised him even more.

This guy actually used the warning hint that Chen Feng gave him at the time, and then approached it from the perspective of biology and psychology, focusing on the invisible control of thoughts and consciousness infiltration, which was a bit like the meaning of the intelligent child in "The Three-Body Problem".

Chen Feng rolled his eyes.

I was trying to trick you into boarding my warship, but I never thought you would take it seriously and spend a month writing a paper that I couldn't even refute.

You are awesome.

Elon made an in-depth analysis of the structure of the human brain and the way in which human thoughts are formed, and proposed an invisible interference similar to the underlying quantum storm, regarding it as a means of mind control by alien civilizations, which is a bit like the meaning of "Song of the Other World".

Elon's views are somewhat similar to those of the computer tycoon, but the arguments are more sufficient and the conclusions are more terrifying.

Chen Feng was amazed.

It turns out that the wisdom of top scientists cannot be underestimated. If you give him a match, he can light a torch to illuminate the way forward.

Elon almost touched the essence of the problem.

As expected, Elon's theory caused a lot of controversy.

Some people agree, and some people firmly refute it.

Some people slammed their hands on the table in anger and objected, saying that according to what you said, Ellen Irwin, our achievements were all taught to us by aliens who controlled our minds?

You said we were controlled, then you should give us some solid evidence.

You are a serious scientist, don't tell us about metaphysics that cannot be measured.

Ellen did not argue with others. After everyone shut up, he smiled and directed everyone's attention to Chen Feng.

"We can't say that aliens are imparting knowledge to us. I think they are suppressing us. But in my opinion, there is a person who has broken through the control of mind penetration and is leading human civilization forward. Who is this gentleman? I don't need to emphasize it, right? I can also tell you that he has a sense of urgency and he is trying every means to promote the progress of civilization."

"In addition to the Star Institute, he just talked with me, Lawrence, Spencer, and Dr. Wellington about the Human Scientists' Life Security Association. The more he wants to do and the higher his ideals, the more I can be sure that he has seen some mysteries that we can't see."

Everyone turned their eyes to Chen Feng's face.

Yes.

This is Mistel Chen, who wrote two books that spanned the ages, "A Collection of Madman's Conjectures"!

There is something wrong with him!

Chen Feng raised his finger and pointed at himself, his mouth twitching.

Damn.

No wonder Ellen repeatedly stressed that he had to come.

So he was lying in ambush here?

He was creating opportunities for himself?

You old jackass.

A new question suddenly appeared in front of Chen Feng.

Should I use my influence to disclose some secrets in advance at this particularly suitable opportunity?

What kind of changes will the course of history bring if the alien threat is completely confirmed?

[June has begun, and I will start to rush to the monthly ticket list, as far as I can. Brothers and sisters, lend me your waves! Just this once! ]
