Chapter 280 Natural Science Laboratory established, congratulatory messages from colleges and universities
On the day when the Silicon Companion Natural Science Laboratory was officially launched, all the school leaders of Jiangzhou University were present, and many students also spontaneously came to participate in the launching ceremony.
This enthusiasm is even higher than going to school early in the morning.
Even the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences, Shuimu University, and Yanjing University sent people to watch the ceremony. Lu Shan was going to set up a new research lab, how could such a thing remain unknown? Jiangzhou University was originally hoping to make a name for itself, so it "appropriately" revealed it, and this effect was produced.
In addition to watching the ceremony, Xiaguo Academy of Sciences, Shuimu University and Yenching University all expressed their willingness to cooperate.
To show their sincerity, they provided financial and equipment support.
Shuimu University donated one million yuan, and Yenching University also gave the same amount as a gift.
Jiangzhou University bought new desks, and Shenchuan Company unconditionally provided professors with computers and multimedia teaching software, and promised to provide every student who entered the laboratory with the latest Shenchuan computer model on the market. Now it is Fuxi K1, and in the future it will be K2, K3...
Seeing this scene, the top leaders of Jiangzhou University intuitively felt that Lu Shan’s face was much more important than Jiangzhou University, and it was obviously a wise choice to agree to set up this laboratory.
The Natural Science Laboratory's own projects will definitely need help, so Jiangzhou University will definitely be considered. How big a project can be undertaken depends on its own strength. Anyway, Lu Shan will never treat Jiangzhou University unfairly. Moreover, if outsiders come to Lu Shan for cooperation, Lu Shan may also give part of the cooperation content to Jiangzhou University, so it will not be a loss anyway.
The Xiaguo Academy of Sciences did not give any money, but it asked Lu Shan to let it know if he needed anything. After all, what Lu Shan needed were basically designed by himself. Should he buy research equipment on the market?
Only a person with a mental illness would do this. Those expensive and high-end things may be coveted by others, but they probably cannot satisfy Lu Shan's needs.
Zhu Yajie gave a one-minute speech and then invited Lu Shan to come up. It seemed that he regarded himself as the host and no one else dared to snatch this job from him.
"The Natural Science Research Laboratory of Silicon is established today. I hope to discover more outstanding talents through this laboratory and make greater progress in science in the future. Applicants should have awe for science and transform theories into results that benefit mankind." Lu Shan's speech was equally brief, using even fewer words than Zhu Yajie's!
Everyone had very high expectations for Lu Shan’s laboratory, but no one could have imagined that this was the beginning of a new world of science.
From today on, science begins to move towards a unique path, a path dominated by Lu Shan. Human beings are rapidly exploring the world on this path, and as Lu Shan, who is walking in front, people gradually cannot see his figure anymore, and can only think along his path.
The laboratory was established, and the first batch of students recruited was 40 people, including 30 undergraduates and 10 postgraduates, with majors including mathematics, computer science, materials, English, Chinese language and literature, philosophy, etc.
As long as you are good enough and can impress Lu Shan, you can enter the laboratory.
This round of selection lasted for several days. Lu Shan eliminated those who were obviously unsuitable and kept those who were acceptable. After repeated consideration, he finally finalized the list.
To be honest, there are only 5 people who can truly meet Lu Shan's requirements. 10 of them are acceptable, and for the remaining 25, he needs to spend a lot of effort to choose the tallest one among the short ones.
If all 40 people meet the requirements, I'm afraid there won't be enough outstanding students from the entire Jiangyang Province to apply. So let's just train these 40 people.
Just accumulate experience in the early stage.
No matter how calm the students are, they will be excited if they are selected. Being selected by Lu Shan is a great achievement in itself. There is a high probability that they will have a good job in the future, and their second half of life will be stable.
Among so many people, there is one person whose thoughts are slightly different from the others.
Her name is Xia Qiuyue. She is a graduate student in the Department of Philosophy at Jiangzhou University. She has already been recommended for a doctorate, but she still came to participate in the selection.
She wanted to come here to learn more knowledge, and she was also very interested in Lu Shan himself.
Xia Qiuyue couldn't understand it. Human energy and time are limited. No matter how high your IQ is, you still have to do basic work and some steps cannot be skipped.
For example, if humans want to run five kilometers without the help of any tools, they will use their legs.
No matter how big the gap between everyone is, there must be an upper limit. The fastest person can get there in ten or twenty minutes, and the slowest person should be able to get there in a few hours.
But Lu Shan's achievements have far exceeded the gap between human beings.
Mechanics, computers, mathematics, materials, and communications are all in full bloom.
Some of them are Nobel Prize-level achievements. Lu Shan's two mathematics papers are enough for him to win two Fields Medals. For ordinary people, it would be amazing if they could achieve just one of them. So how did he do it?
Is it possible that time passes slower for Lu Shan than for others? Is one day equivalent to one year for others?
The courses of BanSi Natural Science Laboratory are very unique, and the teaching mode is classroom teaching.
Lu Shan had the final say on what to teach and how to teach. Jiangzhou University sent teachers to implement Lu Shan's ideas. Even Xiaguo Academy of Sciences, Shuimu University and Yanjing University would send professors to support them. They also wanted to take the opportunity to evaluate Lu Shan's courses and learn from him. This opportunity was only available through internal competition.
The knowledge learned is closely related to the materials science of BanSi Technology, the computer science and mathematics of Jiyue Technology and Zemeng Technology. The course is not a single subject learning, but more like a comprehensive project learning.
Lu Shan would propose a specific project, and then ask the teacher to guide everyone to think and work out the theory.
Then we put the theory into practice and transform it into real results, focusing on applying what we have learned.
The language and philosophy courses are similar, and the teachers are all masters. The foreign language teachers are people who can use foreign languages as if they were their mother tongue, and have studied and lived abroad for a long time.
Chinese Language and Literature invited a master of Chinese studies to give lectures, mainly focusing on the evolution and meaning of words.
The supporting masters even provided many unique video materials for explanation, which is not possible at Jiangzhou University. Through such learning, students of Chinese language and literature can better understand the essence of Xia Dynasty's writing.
The teaching of philosophy is relatively varied and flexible, and there is no fixed pattern.
This is mainly because science deals with specific things and explores every corner of the world, while philosophy is mainly aimed at people, solving their own problems and the problems of others.
Philosophy cannot produce substantial value, but it is not without value. It is just that the value of philosophy is only valuable if it is based on the value of real material.
Xia Qiuyue’s study focus is inspiration and logic.
The laboratory was on the right track, and the textbooks and content were all prepared in accordance with Lu Shan's ideas. Professors had to review them before teaching and understand Lu Shan's logic before they could teach.
In addition, Lu Shan would check the students' acceptance level from time to time, so the overall development was in the direction that Lu Shan had envisioned.
Now Lu Shan needs to spend more time thinking about it. Once the teaching model is formed, he won't have to keep an eye on it. Now it is still in the exploratory stage, and everything needs to be adjusted at any time.
However, Lu Shan did not like the textbook approach. In his opinion, textbooks should be updated in real time, retaining the general framework and basic knowledge, and everything should keep up with the development. In other words, the research lab should be divided into multiple academic years, similar to ordinary universities, first learning the basics of Lu Shan's set, and then learning new directions, so that people with different progress can learn more thoroughly.
Today, Lu Shan brought roast chicken and packaged beef offal hotpot (similar to spicy hot pot) into the Singularity Laboratory. As soon as he entered, he heard a commotion.
Poincaré was so angry that his beard stood up and he glared at Turing.
"What's going on?" Seeing this, Lu Shan handed the roast chicken to Poincare and the fast food box of beef offal hotpot to Turing.
The two of them reached out to take the food and separated naturally, and the atmosphere was no longer so awkward.
"It smells so good! No! Dear Lu Shan, Alan's cat is chasing my chicken! The chicken is still squatting in the corner shivering! If it weren't for the cage, it would have been eaten by the cat!" Poincare said as he ate, his mouth full of oil.
"Really? This..." Lu Shan looked at Turing with an inquiring look.
Turing bit off the beef gracefully and ate it. After chewing it, he spoke: "I didn't mean to indulge the cat, but the chicken did destroy some of my flower seedlings and seeds."
"Nonsense, those are my flowers! You just deliberately let the cat destroy them!"
"Those are my flowers. Can't you recognize rose seedlings, irises, and lavender seedlings?"
"Uh!" Poincare was choked. He really didn't understand much. He asked for the seeds in a rush. After planting them, he left them to the wind and rain. Turing took care of the daily care, so he just went to watch for fun. When he saw the new seedlings, he smiled foolishly.
Speechless for a moment, Poincare suddenly remembered something and continued to complain: "Alan named the cat Henry! That's my name!"
"Henry is a common name. Henry VIII was also called Henry. It's not unique to you." Turing answered slowly. Everyone knew the truth.
The name Henry is indeed very common in the West, and is very similar to the names Liu Bo, Zhang Bo, Liu Wei, Liu Bo, Wang Bo, Wang Wei, etc. in the Xia Dynasty.
Lu Shan didn't even know how to refute, and the same went for Poincare.
"Then...then I'll call my chicken Alan!"
Lu Shan almost couldn't hold back his laughter. "Chicken" is not a good word in Xia Country. It doesn't have the same meaning abroad, but it is definitely not a good word either.
These two people are just like two children who never grow up, always trying to find ways to make each other uncomfortable.
Turing was not interrupted by Poincaré at all, and said lightly: "Whatever." Poincaré was completely speechless.
In fact, when it comes to elegance and accomplishment, Poincaré is not inferior to Turing. It's just that after living his life again, Poincaré has become more enlightened and plans to open his heart and live freely. That's why we see him being carefree and not paying attention to details and table manners.
Turing continued to maintain his original state, not changing was a way to protect himself. Because Turing's last life was so miserable, he didn't open up so quickly.
After a while, Turing finished his small takeout beef offal hotpot, rinsed his mouth, and talked to Lu Shan about recent developments.
"I have been studying Windows XP and Windows 7 for a while now, and I found that these two systems are really lame. I even think that we should not make any intelligent assistants for the Windows system, but just make a simple version of our own system and try it out."
Lu Shan also wanted to do the same, but there was really no one, so he smiled and shook his head and listened to Turing's complaints.
Turing said that Windows XP's security upgrades are extremely slow and it has many vulnerabilities.
In addition, it is difficult to upgrade computers in Xiaguo online, so the two sides naturally conflict with each other. In addition, the XP system has begun to be gradually phased out, and there will be more security issues in the future.
Win 7 isn't much better.
Its performance is not much improved compared to XP, but it takes up a lot more system resources, and many of its functions are like - it's unnecessary for ordinary people to donate to the royal family of Eagle Country.
After complaining about the operating system, Turing started complaining about the current compilation software.
I complained about everything from C, C+, C++ to Java.
It is said that C has poor data security because its syntax restrictions are not strict and the type constraints on variables are not strict, which affects the security of the program. It is also not suitable for developing large-scale software and graphical interface application software.
It is said that C++ has complex memory management, no automatic garbage collection mechanism, and is prone to memory leaks. The language itself is too complex, resulting in a long development cycle. Things that can be explained in one sentence require a lot of description in C++.
The disadvantage of Java is that it is not as reliable as C++ for applications with extremely high performance requirements and is too jumpy.
"So, I plan to create my own compiler to solve the problem that the current compilers on the market are not powerful enough!" Turing used the new word "ungeiliable", which is quite interesting.
I originally wanted to talk about compilers. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Turing's idea is not wrong.
Lu Shan asked: "Do you have any more specific ideas?"
"Start with logic, summarize many repetitive and similar contents, and reduce the amount of code!" Turing said this, and a rare look of disgust appeared on his face.
As for the compiler, any silicon crystal chip is identified according to 0 and 1, which is the machine language. The human logical structure needs to be converted into the machine language of 0 and 1 through the compiler so that the machine can recognize it.
And all applications are based on 0 and 1.
Windows XP system has 40 million lines of code.
If this is done by human beings, how long will it take? How long will it take one or two hundred people, or one or two thousand people?
If the logic is strong enough, it will save a lot of trouble.
Everyone understands this principle, but how to make the instructions concise and clear for the machine to understand is a big question.
Before, Turing was somewhat afraid to think about this. After the Riemann hypothesis was solved, he continued to absorb and transform it into his own achievements, and now there are some signs.
