Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 339 New Ideas
Lianxiang’s previous major customers were various departments of Xia State. Just imagine, if the computers in these departments could not use Coco Assistant, how much would the efficiency be reduced?

Lianxiang's computer is definitely sufficient for daily activities, but the processing speed will be much slower.

Coco Assistant itself has the function of a computer manager. It can effectively allocate system resources, process complex commands, and clean up junk and duplicate information at the same time.

Without Coco Assistant, Lianxiang computer would be really boring to use.

I could have gone home from get off work normally, but I insisted on working overtime.

After a while, the problems accumulated and some users became fed up and directly asked Liu Dazhi for help.

According to the ideas of some department bosses above, Liu Dazhi was asked to go to Lu Shan to have a reconciliation drink and put aside their grudges.

Even if the cooperation cannot be reached, don't let Coco Assistant sanction Lianxiang.

But he couldn't bring himself to ask for peace. Liu Dazhi knew clearly that the relationship between Lianxiang and Zemeng was like fire and water. Even if he asked for peace, he might not get Lu Shan's consent.

What Lianxiang had done before was really not acceptable. He used connections all over the world and mobilized public opinion to force Lu Shan to hand over the graphene battery technology. Cutting off someone's financial resources is tantamount to killing his parents.

It is highly likely that Lu Shan will not be able to cooperate calmly with Lian Xiang, the murderer of his father.

Although from a business perspective, there is nothing wrong with Lianxiang's approach, it's just that the plan has failed now and Lianxiang has no say.

Liu Dazhi was in a dilemma. If he didn't ask Lu Shan for help, he would be spanked by his superiors. If he asked Lu Shan for help, he would be slapped in the face and it might be useless. He had to die anyway.

……

The development of enthalpy-entropy energy is now stable, and it is moving forward with confidence after dealing with many negative impacts. The daily output of the graphene battery production chain is constantly increasing, and new production lines are also being actively built.

Lu Shan returned to the Singularity Laboratory and told the three scientists about what was happening outside. The focus was naturally on the extent to which the technology had been implemented. As for how much money they could make, the four of them didn't care at all because they were not interested in money.

When Madame Curie learned about the size and weight of current graphene batteries, and especially their energy density, she was not too excited and seemed a little dissatisfied.

Lu Shan asked her with interest if she had any better ideas.

"It's not that we have a better idea, but the premise that graphene batteries can be used for a long enough time is that they can be used for small appliances such as laptops. If it is a large appliance or machinery, it will be insufficient. Because the graphene battery has enough energy, but not enough instantaneous power." Mary complained lightly.

"Then we will slowly improve the material ratio of the graphene battery to see if there is any room for improvement." Lu Shan is also a person who is not satisfied with the status quo, but he also understands that scientific research cannot be rushed and requires a process.

A few days ago, a prototype ultra-large capacity graphene battery was delivered to the armed forces. It has been used on drones and, in combination with solar panels, directly exceeded the world's public data.

The data publicly available in the world is often a trap. Xiaguo has always been deceived by the United States. It has been working hard to achieve its goals, but after achieving them, it found out that the United States was bragging.

For several days in a row, Lu Shan saw Mary reading some information. He didn't pay much attention at first because she had her own ideas and didn't have to share the same thoughts with him.

Having one more idea may help you achieve your goal faster.

Later, he realized something was wrong. The content of Mary's experiment did not match the characteristics of graphene batteries. Then he saw Mary's calculation manuscripts and the information she looked up, and he was shocked.

High-energy neutron source, configuration, this is nuclear physics! Not graphene battery!

Lu Shan did not dare to disturb Mary. Mary discovered and purified the element radium. Strictly speaking, studying this kind of highly radioactive material is considered high-energy physics, which is roughly equivalent to nuclear physics. So Mary definitely has the foundation to do nuclear physics.

When Mary was just reborn, she immersed herself in graphene batteries and didn't pay much attention to nuclear physics.

Even if she noticed it, Lu Shan would have to work on graphene first, which is safer and more realistic.

Afterwards, Mary found that the upper limit of graphene seemed to be faintly visible, and further research would be on the atomic level. In this case, it would be better to go all the way and study nuclear physics!

Nuclear physics is generally recognized as the ultimate solution to energy. If you want to solve energy, energy storage, supply and other problems, you must take the path of nuclear physics. The reaction of graphene that relies on the characteristics of electrons themselves is too limited. It is limited by the reaction materials and the environment. Its utilization rate is really not worth mentioning compared with nuclear energy.

However, the threshold for nuclear physics is also extremely high. It is easier to make weapons and explode them, but if it is to be used as energy, things will be much more complicated.

One is the pursuit of explosion and instant release, the other is equivalent to domestication, which requires more patience and details.

Mary is catching up on her knowledge of nuclear physics, doing experiments from time to time and using models to calculate her ideas. She is now becoming more and more proficient in building models, which is a really useful method that can help her avoid many detours.

For this reason alone, Mary admired Turing very much.

Turing has been busy with coco assistant recently, but after all the hard work he found that there was not much improvement.

Turing asked Lu Shan about Coco's recent performance to see if there was a difference between the Singularity Laboratory and the real world, resulting in distorted effects.

Lu Shan gave a rough description of how Coco Assistant performs in the real world.

Generally speaking, Coco Assistant performs very well and can perfectly cover the normal needs of more than 99% of users.

For example, office workers make spreadsheets, PPTs, and write documents.

Students use it to use some teaching software and entertainment software. College students and professionals can use most of the professional software, with first-class guidance and integration capabilities.

Turing understood everything after hearing this. It turned out that it was not that the performance of the Singularity Lab was different from that of the outside world, but that his conjecture was correct. Turing told Lu Shan bluntly that Coco had obvious limitations.

"Nowadays, Coco performs well in the civilian sector, but it is still limited in the professional sector. Of course, this limitation is not that Coco Assistant is not smart, but that the relevant professional fields have not released their permissions, so we cannot collect this information. There may be some twists and turns in this business in the future."

Lu Shan understood what Turing meant. If Coco Assistant wanted to enter some particularly professional fields, it might have to sign a relevant confidentiality agreement, which would allow Coco Assistant to be used only within other people's systems, and related data could not be uploaded back to its own server.

For example, fields such as weapons manufacturing, rockets and satellites, and high-end life sciences are already related to the country's security and status, so they naturally require special caution when used.

"Therefore, Coco will continue to focus on civilian use for a long time in the future, and its limitations depend on the Windows system itself. In other words, it is not that Coco Assistant is not easy to use, but that the Windows system is not easy to use." Turing came to this conclusion through his research during this period.

The reasons were then explained.

Many functions of Coco Assistant can only be realized based on the Windows system, because Coco was built based on the characteristics of the Windows system from the beginning. It is a derivative product and naturally has the characteristics of the original one. Some functions seem very smart, but they are limited by the Windows system itself and can only show so much.

Because - the Windows system itself is not an intelligent operating system, Coco cannot be more intelligent!
“Although the Windows system is widely used and appears stable, its flaws cannot be ignored. Putting aside its intelligence, it is not a good development vehicle.

The biggest problem is that the Windows system has been developed for so many years, carrying more and more functions, but the basis for upgrades over the years is still the same logic at the beginning, and the original logic is naturally unable to cope with the increasingly complex problems now."

This is an inherent problem in system development. Mainstream systems such as Windows, Mac, Ubuntu, and Linux are all products developed from "ancient systems". No matter how the architecture and kernel change, some ancient codes and features are inherited.

It's not that programmers are lazy, but there is an iron rule in the code, that is, as long as the program can run, try not to change it! As a result, each upgrade is constantly superimposed on the original code. As long as it works, don't worry about any weird shape.

This is similar to seeing a car with a very high and slanted rack on top, but it can still run without falling over, but the car is moving very slowly and cannot pass the height limit.

Looking back at the history of these systems, the Windows system originated in 1983, Mac originated in 1984, and Linux originated in 1991.

It is hard to imagine how much messy code has accumulated over the past two or three decades.

Now that Turing has developed the coco assistant, the system is required to remove all previous architectures, clean them up, and streamline them so that it can be equipped with an intelligent assistant to achieve intelligence.

If the car cannot be uninstalled cleanly and the modification cannot be successful, you will have to build a new car, which means building a new operating system!
Turing also elaborated: "There is not much time and space left for Windows. If we hadn't come up with Coco Assistant, it might have lasted another ten or eight years. But with the requirements for intelligence, it seems very inadequate."

"Then let's start the project. The operating system itself is part of the plan and it will be launched sooner or later. Why not do it today? Just tell me what you need." Lu Shan was also decisive since he was almost done with other things anyway.

"Okay!" Turing agreed readily. It was obvious that he was also tortured by the limitations of the Windows system. If his comprehension ability was too low, he would not even be able to understand his own logic. What was the use of such a system!

Later, Turing found Poincaré and asked for his help. It would be impossible to build the underlying logic without a mathematician like Poincaré. If the underlying logic is built on the basis of the results of the Riemann hypothesis, what logic is there that cannot be understood now?

Turing came to him, which made Poincare very proud. Poincare said with a smile: "Alan, Alan, I didn't expect that a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes would ask me for help one day!"

"Do you agree or disagree?" Turing's face twisted. This guy recently watched the sketch "The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor" by Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, and he always blurted out a few lines from time to time.

"Of course I agree." Poincare would not refuse this. Building a new, highly intelligent operating system would also be beneficial to his future research. Those complex models would definitely require a more intelligent system to execute.

After a period of collaboration, Turing and Poincare created a small sample with the help of the "Endless" compiler and tried to run it.

The effect they hope to see is accurate and reasonable allocation without wasting transportation capacity.

There is a big bug in the Win system, which is that there may be overflow. Since the Win system is written in C language, after the execution code overflows, it will not stop like Basic, but continue to run, resulting in overflow. In this way, some data in the memory will be executed as code.

If this data is input by the user, such operations can be used to destroy the system or gain control of the system.

A specific example is the TCP/IP protocol stack overflow in the Windows 98 era. If a ping exceeding 65536 bytes is sent, the computer will have a blue screen.

Another example is IE overflow. When IE adds data, insufficient memory may cause a stack overflow error. This happens as long as the running programs and processes occupy too much memory resources.

Stack overflow is very common. Redefining the system's trigger event name as a custom function name, or an infinite loop will cause a stack overflow.

For example, if a oneeror event handling function is defined on a picture object, this function will be called if the picture does not exist or there is an error in downloading, forming an infinite loop that will not stop on its own.

It is precisely because of so many things that waste processing power that the Win system is held back. It does not know how to shut down unreasonable processes and events at the appropriate time. The redundancy of the Win system is very serious. In recent years, the system performance has been improved simply by improving the performance of the CPU.

Now Turing wants to create an operating system based on the coco smart assistant that will be more concise, advanced, intelligent and expandable. With the help of the endless compiler, things are going smoothly.

After the system sample passes the test, it means that the underlying logic is feasible, so you can confidently develop more functions.

Lu Shan named this operating system Zemeng Operating System and it was launched on the market after the internal testing was completed.

According to the conception, this operating system will have the following advantages.

The first advantage is that the PC and mobile versions of the system are developed at the same time. The two can communicate with each other, and the desktop will look different depending on the device.

In other words, you can find a computer to connect to whatever you have done on your phone at any time, and as long as the authentication is passed, it can be transferred and processed immediately. You can even set up remote operation, not only to transfer things from your phone, but also to retrieve data on a remote computer. This greatly facilitates the needs of workers on business trips.

This function alone has already controlled the vast majority of consumers with strong purchasing power, and it is impossible to calculate how much time, manpower and resources can be saved.

Sometimes, it is really difficult for one person to teach another person to find something remotely, and they often don’t know how to operate the computer remotely. Now just leave it to the Zemeng system, it will help you find the correct computer or mobile phone for cooperation.
