Chapter 271: Questioning authority

In the morning two days later, Mulong Technology ushered in a spirited old man. He was wearing a delicate blue suit and a standard western face. He was the president of the University of Chicago, Jim Mo.
"Hello Mr. Ji Mo, the journey is exhausted." Liu Fan is familiar with Ji Mo's resume. Ji Mo's main research direction is geometric mathematics, but he has general interests and achievements in all aspects of basic mathematics. Before the president of the university, he was the chairman of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Chicago, so before the official contact, Liu Fan had a wonderful affinity for Ji Mo.
"Hello Mr. Liu, I finally have a chance to see you." Ji Mo responded in Chinese, and also used honorifics.
Liu Fan reached out to signal Ji Mo's seat. "Mr. Ji Mo should not have been to Huaxia for several years, do you feel familiar this time?"
"To be honest, I'm very strange. Although I only feel the changes at the airport, the changes are shocking. Driverless buses, unmanned smart saloon carts, intelligent customer service, intelligent assistance police, and intelligent traffic dredging. Intelligent use is the first in the world, and a small airport can indeed see a microcosm. Presumably all these changes have benefited from Mr. Liu. "
"Mr. Ji Mo is too ridiculous. I am only one who provides technology. The changes in China today benefit from everyone in China."
At this time, He Lin brought the tea, and Ji Mo made a gesture of gratitude, "Mr. Liu, if it is convenient, I don't know if I am lucky to visit the Mulong laboratory first?"
Ji Mo was anxious, but Liu Fan liked it more. Liu Fan took Ji Mo to Mulong Lab immediately.
Fan Fan first took Ji Mo to the Basic Mathematics Building. As soon as he entered the door, a sudden change occurred in the air on the right side of the two. One second later, a holographic female staff member in a shirt and skirt appeared in front of the two.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Ji Mo, welcome two to the Basic Mathematics Division of Mulong Lab. Where are they going now?"
"Go to the geometry and mathematics laboratory first."
"Okay, two people here, please." The holographic female staff led the way in a very simulated way. Ji Mo was carefully observing the holographic effect along the way, and remained silent.
When I got to the elevator, the elevator just opened. After the two people and the entourage entered, the elevator closed automatically and pressed the floor to go.
When I came to the third floor, I was a few steps away from the Geometry and Mathematics Research Room. There were hundreds of people gathered in a room of more than two hundred square meters. At this moment, everyone was all together in a large space of ten square meters. A piece of holographic image, researchers are engaged in intensive communication and operation.
After seeing Liu Fan and Ji Mo, everyone just came over to say hello, Liu Fan made a gesture to signal everyone to continue their work.
After everyone entered the research state again, Liu Fan and Ji Mo watched silently.
The entire holographic effect is divided into dozens of plates, but Ji Mo can see at a glance that this is the polyhedron Euler's theorem, but he has not seen what these researchers are studying for a while.
However, at present, everyone's operation method is the most eye-catching. Researchers can freely perform full-angle zooming, extraction, splitting, and combination operations on holographic images through gestures. They can also use voice to control the holographic image for inference. Including the detail and slowness of the graphic change process, compared with the use of traditional computers, holography is obviously more convenient and intuitive, and Ji Mo can perceive it very sensitively. Such a research method will more easily stimulate research Staff inspiration.
In addition, Ji Mo slowly discovered another two major points. Researchers often talked about holographic images. Everyone would call each other Xiao Mu, but this little Mu was not within the naked eye, but this little Mu It attracted Ji Mo's strong attention, because Xiao Mu would put forward a lot of interesting views and opinions. Ji Mo was too sensitive to geometric mathematics, so sensitive that he could immediately determine how valuable this little Mu communicated.
In addition, what this small wood provides is often not a conclusion, but data analysis. The important point is that this small wood often raises questions and questions authority.
"Mr. Liu." Ji Mo stayed for two full hours without feeling tired. "Is that little wood in their mouth ..."
Fan Fan nodded. "Artificial intelligence."
"This is what you mentioned before, artificial intelligence is involved in research and development." Ji Mo said to himself, "Perhaps, only artificial intelligence dares to question authority like this ..."
"Mr. Ji Mo seems to be interested in our artificial intelligence-assisted R & D? Do I need to introduce you in detail?" Liu Fan asked.
Ji Mo thought for a few seconds, and signaled Liu Fan not to disturb the researchers when he went out to speak. "I don't know if Mr. Liu knows that we at the University of Chicago have been attaching great importance to the questioning spirit of students since it was founded, because we know very well. .com ~ In the past, information was relatively closed, and it was difficult to capture big data, so many theories may not be correct, or they may only be applied in a small range.
With the rapid changes of the times, we need more accurate basic theories, and we need more accurate general technology. Our students and our researchers should learn to question and question authority. But this matter is actually very difficult, because we have established our thinking framework based on these authoritative theoretical foundations.
Imagine one day that someone proves that Newton's three theorems are wrong, the academic world will be disrupted, many research projects will be shut down, and even the entire world may enter a period of chaos.
But in my opinion, this is not impossible. Mr. Liu is also studying basic mathematics. I believe Mr. Liu is also very clear. There are too many unexplainable problems in this world. Many people attribute it to theology, but A firm materialist, I do not agree with this idea. My view is that there are many errors in our basic theory, so that we cannot explain those phenomena in a correct way.
So I was suddenly thinking that artificial intelligence might really be the best role to question the authority at present, because he can do everything to speak with the results of data analysis, he can break away from the constraints and influence of traditional basic theories, can Simply use big data to dig out what you think is the truth. "
Looking at the expression that Ji Mo began to reverie, Liu Fan's chicken thief smiled and immediately followed the trend. "Mr. Ji Mo, when it comes to subverting tradition, are you interested in seeing our subversive knowledge of basic mathematics?"
"Oh?" Ji Mo soon showed interest, "desperately."
"Come with me then ..."
