After sending Hu Bayi and the others away, Zhao Ye did not go home.
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away. At this time, Zhao Ye has not arranged any work for himself. He is lying on the sofa in the office, sorting out his thoughts.
It's the Spring Festival again. Before this time, he can't help but think of his previous life, where his parents, wife, and son were. The longer he stays here, the less he can tell where his real life is.
"System, can you tell me, can I still go back?" Zhao Ye silently asked this question in his heart.
This is not the first time he has asked. Every time in the past, the answer the system gave him was silence.
Zhao Ye didn't know what silence meant. Is it because he can't do it anymore? Or he just doesn't know?
He didn't know, but despite this, the system's silence would always bring him a little hope, the hope of returning home.
Here, he enjoys the life he once dreamed of. But he is essentially an ordinary person. He also wants to be lazy, travel, and live a lazy life.
Unfortunately, sometimes the persona we give ourselves does not allow us to live the life we want. Zhao Ye also had to run as fast as possible along the route he had planned for himself before.
"The hope that you can go back is currently up to 1%, please keep up your efforts!"
This time, the system did not remain silent, but gave a clear value.
Zhao Ye was stunned by this result. This was the first time he heard such a clear answer in so many years.
"System, what is the decisive factor that determines whether I can go back?" Zhao Ye was startled and could no longer be calm.
"It is an exploration of new life forms. If you can successfully realize a new life form in your lifetime, you can return to your world."
"You mean artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence in the complete sense?" Zhao Ye asked excitedly.
The system was silent again, but Zhao Ye had become extremely excited. He suddenly wanted to go home. It could even be understood that he wanted to travel back to that time in his memory.
"System, how much time do I have?" With his goal in mind, Zhao Ye had to ask how much life he had left. He had asked this question before, but the system gave him silence.
"You have about twenty years left to live."
"How much? Only twenty years? Why?" Zhao Ye couldn't accept it for a while. He had never been sick even once and was in good physical condition. How could he only have twenty years left to live?
You know, he is only in his early forties now, and in twenty years he will only be in his sixties. Why can he only live to be in his sixties?
"The performance of the nanorobots in your body is decreasing year by year. In another twenty years, they will basically lose their functions and will no longer be able to provide you with life support. Since you rely on the help of medical robots for a long time, your own body's capabilities will be reduced.
, then a small cold may kill you."
Zhao Ye was shocked. Any living being would be instinctively afraid of death, and Zhao Ye was no exception.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is successful now, but no matter how "powerful" he is, he cannot offset the fear of death.
"System, can I gradually turn off the robot in my body by myself? This will allow my body to gradually adapt to the process?" Zhao Ye thought of a way. Since his own original functions are declining, he can also gradually get rid of the role of the robot.
, gradually restore one's own functions.
"Yes, but this will reduce my ability to function, and you will gradually lose your current greatest advantage."
Zhao Ye was silent. This was a simple multiple-choice question. Should you become mediocre in order to live longer? Or should you work vigorously for twenty years and then die.
This is a difficult choice, especially for Zhao Ye at this time.
In another twenty years, it will be 2005, but that means that I will not even have the chance to watch the Beijing Olympics.
Frankly speaking, it was somewhat cruel to him.
But there is no free lunch in the world. He enjoyed the convenience brought by the system, but he had to bear the harm the system brought him. For the technological progress at this time, of course Zhao Ye's contribution was needed.
But as an ordinary person, he was really at a loss.
In the end, Zhao Ye didn't think about how to choose. But it might be that he was deceiving himself, because he didn't make a choice, but it was actually a choice, which was to maintain the status quo.
Zhao Ye didn't go home, even though it was only a few steps away. At this time, he didn't want to face anyone, he just wanted to think clearly about how to go in the future.
For two whole days, Zhao Ye hardly slept. In the end, he made a decision, which was to make good use of these limited twenty years and leave as much as possible to this world.
How can we leave something more for this time? And what can he leave behind?
Zhao Ye did not answer for a while, but this is not that important. Zhao Ye has decided that he will make some adjustments to his main work in the future.
He knew what the future was like in his previous life. He didn't want to invest too much time in what he already had. He decided to leave his time to problems that could not be solved in later generations.
For example, nuclear fusion technology.
For example, artificial intelligence technology,
Another example is life science and technology.
Any one of these three is a key technology that can start a new technological revolution in the future.
According to his current situation, the progress of artificial intelligence has currently encountered a bottleneck. If he wants to go further, he needs new materials or new theories.
He wanted to let it go. He could set his goal at higher artificial intelligence, but that would require a lot of brand-new elements. These elements are currently not available on the surface of the earth. But if you want to go underground for hundreds of kilometers and thousands of
Where is that easier said than done?
For this reason, his direction is extraterrestrial space.
Just because there is no surface on the earth does not mean that there is no surface on the moon, let alone on the surface of Mars. If you want real third-class artificial intelligence to create truly new species, then he has to target outer space. In addition,
There is no better way.
Of course, he could also use water to exchange resources with the system. But he was certain that the system would not count him as having passed the test for such cheating.
If we want to go to outer space, for now, our country's power is still in its infancy. The research and utilization of outer space is basically about how to make satellites operate more efficiently. Manned aviation? Where can we dare to play with this now?
But the aerospace department can't think about it, you can think about it! Today's Lever needs people and money. Although Lever's project funds need to be reviewed by the state, after all, from a procedural and legal perspective, Zhao Ye still has
A lot of free space.
This gave him the opportunity to even set up his own aerospace research department, which must be supported by the country. Aerospace engineering is a big project and requires a lot of technology. The improvement of these new technologies will, to a certain extent,
The above is also to further improve a country's high-tech strength.
Taking advantage of the Spring Festival holiday, Zhao Ye worked hard and kept writing and drawing in his room, so much so that his eldest son, who rushed home for the New Year, even complained about his father.
On the first day of the new year, Zhao Ye's apprentices came to Zhao Ye's home one after another to pay him New Year's greetings.
It's a pity that no one saw Zhao Ye. Not everyone can enter Zhao Ye's study. Even during the Chinese New Year, there were people standing guard outside his study at home. Zhao Ye didn't say anything, and even his own son couldn't.
Enter.
"Weizhong, how are you in the army? Is the training hard? How many days of leave are you given this time?" Ma Hua is just a few years younger than Zhao Ye. He treats his master's children as if he is an uncle. Despite his seniority
Strictly speaking, they are equals.
"Brother Ma, this time I can stay at home until the third day of the third year of junior high school, and return to the army early on the fourth day of the fourth year of junior high school. It's just a soldier training, that's all." Zhao Weizhong still respected Ma Hua very much. In the past, when his mother was still alive, at home,
This MCA helped my mother with all the big and small things. Generally speaking, you can't count on your own father.
Even after his mother died and he served as a soldier outside, Ma Hua took care of his younger brothers and sisters. In Ma Hua's words, he was the least promising among Zhao Ye's disciples. Others were too busy.
, only he has time.
This is true. Today's chip production has long since broken away from the era of manual control. Especially the leapfrog plan that Zhao Ye started to implement a few years ago has allowed today's chip manufacturing technology to reach 152 nanometers. In today's production lines
Basically, it is a fully automated operation. The role of human power is minimal.
Although today's MCAs are veteran workers, the jobs they can do are basically quality inspectors.
Ma Hua was not dissatisfied with this. Because his length of service and qualifications were there, and he was Zhao Ye's apprentice, everything in the factory went smoothly, not to mention his salary.
Not long after, several of Zhao Ye's apprentices came to visit Zhao Ye one after another to wish Zhao Ye New Year's greetings.
"Senior Brother, why are you the first one every time? How early did you come?" Wang Shuo has been in contact with Gao Xiaojun for a long time, and he has also contracted Gao Xiaojun's habit of gossiping.
"Hahaha, it's Wang Shuo. Who made me your senior brother? Of course I'm here early." Ma Hua greeted him with a big smile.
Today's Wang Shuo is not ordinary. He still has a very high status in Lever's research institute and is known as one of the Eight Great Vajras of Lever.
On the front and back, Tian Xin and Professor Ci's son also came, followed closely by Song Yunhui and his wife.
A group of senior fellow apprentices joked and joked with several children of the Zhao family for a while, but in the end they did not wait until Zhao Ye came out of the study.
Zhao Weizhong saw that it was getting late, so he said to everyone: "Brothers and sisters, I don't think the old man will come out. You don't know, he has not come out even once since he came back yesterday. I think he is probably coming out.
Is there something difficult? Otherwise, don’t wait any longer, who knows when it will be available?”
Wang Shuo nodded. He had spent time with Zhao Ye in the laboratory and had seen Zhao Ye's perseverance. He asked himself that he would not be able to catch up with his master. Naturally, he would not continue to be stupid at this time.
wait.
After saying a few words to everyone, Wang Shuo also began to advise everyone to go back and forget it. Master will not give out red envelopes this year.
