Chapter 416: The Brain Circuit of a Genius
Big problems often arise when people 's long-range vision is limited to what is in front of them.
As early as more than two thousand years ago, people already understood the principle of draining the pond to catch all the fish.
"In fact, this is not a question of price. If we accept the EUV lithography machine they sell us, it means we surrender to them and admit that we cannot develop our own EUV lithography machine. Since we have survived so many difficulties, we must not make concessions here."
Luo Wenkun was very determined. Since he had decided to develop his own technology, there was no turning back.
If we accept their lithography machines this time, they will issue another restriction order someday, and we will sooner or later fall into the previous vicious cycle again.
At this time, Lin Shi asked: "Can we buy their lithography machine and use it mainly for research? This will also be beneficial to our research and development, right?"
"It does have some research value, but it is relatively limited. Moreover, a lithography machine costs several hundred million US dollars and is only used for research, not for production. This investment amount is not something that can be easily taken out. In this regard, we still adopt a cooperative approach and conduct research with other companies."
It is indeed very exciting to be able to reject ASML's active invitation.
This indicated that they had become the first side to give up.
After Luo Wenkun finished speaking, Hu Shucheng took over.
"What I want to say is not as pleasant as Lao Luo's, and may even cause you to panic. So, do you still want to listen?"
"Why, there won't be any supernatural events?"
Hu Shucheng suddenly changed the atmosphere from exciting to panic-stricken.
But since Hu Shucheng has already created the suspense, everyone will definitely want to continue listening.
"Come on, we are all materialists, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Okay, then I'll tell you. We have detected some mysterious space signals during this period. These signals have obvious patterns and do not seem like rays from the universe. Moreover, it is certain that these signals do not come from humans on Earth."
Although Hu Shucheng did not say it directly, his meaning was already very clear.
"Old Hu, do you mean... these signals may come from aliens?"
"In theory, it is possible. These signals were sent at least several hundred years ago. At that time, the technology of humans on Earth had not yet developed to the level of being able to emit electromagnetic waves."
At this time, Lin Shi said excitedly: "Did you answer?"
"What do you think?"
"I'll say this three times: Don't answer! Don't answer! Don't answer! The fate of mankind may be in your hands."
In the vast universe, the Earth is probably not the only planet that has given birth to life, and may not even be the only planet with civilization.
When faced with these possible alien civilizations, the safest way to deal with them is to hide yourself as much as possible.
After all, our civilization is still at a very low level, and we haven’t even explored our own galaxy much.
If we really encounter a powerful civilization, we will not be able to fight at all.
"Okay, okay, it's not that exaggerated. It's probably an unknown cosmic radio burst. I don't really understand the specific information. Let's wait and see the official article later."
For this kind of astronomical research, everyone is relatively open about the information, and it is not kept secret like some cutting-edge technologies.
"I really hope our space technology can develop faster. I really want to go to the vicinity of Planet X and take a look before I die."
This celestial body, which was determined to be a black hole by Xu You and others, has only been deduced theoretically and no sufficient evidence has been provided.
If the facts are exactly consistent with the theory, this will be the closest black hole known to mankind.
After Hu Shucheng finished speaking, Lou Song raised his hand.
"Well... let's not talk about my mathematical research."
Because of his major, the difficulty of the mathematical research that Lou Song is currently doing is far beyond the scope of what non-professionals can understand.
Even physics students who are good at mathematics cannot understand what Lou Song is researching.
"Just don't talk about math. Apart from Xu You, no one else among us will be able to understand it."
"Well, we can discuss mathematics alone later." Xu You also agreed.
"Let me tell you an interesting story I heard recently." Lou Song said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone looked as if something terrible had happened.
"Lou Song, how about... you tell me about the math problems you're studying? If we try hard, we should be able to understand some of it." Lu Zhiyao said tactfully.
"No, you didn't get to taste our cooking just now, so you can't miss this joke. I guarantee that this is definitely the funniest joke I've ever heard."
"Okay, let Lou Song talk. I'm quite interested." Xu You said.
Xu You is one of the few people in this group who can get the funny parts in Lou Song's jokes.
Seeing that Xu You had agreed, everyone had no more objections.
"Okay, let me tell you. There is a company whose performance has been growing exponentially recently. But why is the boss of this company still unhappy?"
"Because... this boss holds too few shares?"
"Wrong! Because this exponent is less than one! Hahahaha..."
"The exponent...is less than one? Hahaha..."
Xu You immediately got the funny point of this math joke and started laughing along with Lou Song.
The other five people all had looks of concern for the mentally retarded children.
"Could it be that the thinking circuits of geniuses are different from ours?"
"Maybe. I think we can only truly understand the true meaning of mathematics when we can get the joke ."
After a long conversation, Xu You was the only one who didn't talk about his own affairs.
"Well... let's talk about this. It's not confidential, but it's something that everyone doesn't know yet. Didn't IBM release the Vulture quantum computer before? They actually have an idea for a competition with our quantum computer. Both of us are preparing for this."
Everyone was very interested when they heard what Xu You revealed.
"Xu You, if we make an objective evaluation, which one is more powerful, the vulture or the island?" Hu Shucheng asked.
"If we compare them based on their current strength, the comprehensive capabilities of the island are slightly stronger, but the two are roughly on the same level. After they complete their research on combining quantum computers with supercomputers, perhaps the vulture will be better."
