It turned out that while Joan was developing relay computers in the air-raid shelter in Liyuan according to Wang Xuexin's ideas, Turing was also simultaneously developing relay computers at Bletchley Manor, where the sun never sets.
But that's not the point.
The point is that when Turing tried to use the floating-point arithmetic method mentioned by Wang Xuexin for calculations, he found that there were many unknown rules that needed to be formulated and the complexity was much higher than the previous fixed-point arithmetic. He actually regarded Turing as a mathematician.
The family was stunned.
This is the difference between scientists and Wang Xuexin.
Although Wang Xuexin knows more and more advanced things because he has mastered more advanced modern knowledge, he only knows. He never considers the practical application of these things, let alone in-depth thinking and exploration.
But scientists are different. Once they know that there is this way, they will immediately develop it and apply it into practice.
After much calculation, Turing decided that he should go to China to meet and talk to the leader of the Chinese delegation.
So, after arranging the work at Bletchley Manor, he boarded a plane transporting high-purity metal materials needed by the Eighth Route Army and flew to China on the grounds that he needed to jointly develop relay computers to solve difficult problems.
After getting off the plane, Turing ignored the fatigue of more than 20 hours of non-stop flying on the plane and the jet lag. When he saw Qiong, he immediately asked her to introduce the leader of the Chinese delegation.
Joan jokingly said to Turing: "So you traveled thousands of miles to come here to meet the head of the Chinese delegation instead of meeting your fiancée?"
Turing replied: "Of course it's also to see you, Joan! But, I hope to solve the problems that are plaguing my mind. They are like spider silk wrapped around my brain, making me sleepy!"
"Including me, right?" Qiong laughed: "Besides tea and rice, another thing you don't think about?"
Turing did not answer, because his mind had already jumped to the leader of the Chinese delegation. As he walked, he couldn't wait to ask: "You said, he can solve this problem, I mean the actual calculation problem?"
Joan sighed secretly. She actually knew that Turing did not love her all along, which also determined that there would be no results between her and Turing.
Perhaps Turing loved her, but it was not an emotional love, but a pure friendship... Turing had no such feelings for her at all.
Unconsciously, Qiong's pace slowed down.
Turing turned around and looked at Qiong in surprise: "Are you... having a pessimistic attitude towards the head of the Chinese delegation?"
"No!" Joan tried hard to adjust her mentality and quickened her pace to catch up. She thought it was best for her to maintain her current friendship with Turing.
After thinking about it, Qiong said: "Although I don't know much about Captain Huaxia, I mean we haven't met a few times, but I have heard a lot about him. He has developed a lot of equipment...
"
"I heard about this in The Sun Never Sets!" Turing interrupted Joan: "It is said that this also includes the improvement of the Woolly Bear fighter jet. He is simply a genius! I don't think I can do this!"
The reason why Qiong didn't hear about it until she arrived in China was because as a woman she didn't care about the research and development of military equipment, but Turing was different. He cared about the war, and his purpose of developing the "universal decoder" was
One is to end this war as soon as possible.
Usually Turing would also pay attention to some military equipment. He had long heard that a genius inventor in China had developed a series of amazing equipment, but that was just a hearsay... Turing just regarded it as a piece of equipment related to
Check out the news that has nothing to do with you.
It wasn't until he heard about the relay computer, and that this thing was made by the head of the Chinese regiment, that Turing discovered that he was not a person who had "nothing to do with him."
When Turing followed Joan into the underground tunnel, he was shocked by the simple and rough facilities he was in. The roof of the tunnel was supported by logs, and he could not stand upright. There was sticky mud under his feet.
Qiong seemed to see the shock in Turing's heart. She explained: "This is where the head of the Huaxia team works. It's not that I don't have confidence in him, but... I don't have confidence in the environment and tasks he works in. As you can see
Arrived..."
As she spoke, Qiong raised her head to the surroundings.
Hand, said: "This is just part of it. He still has troops to command, and I heard that he is still fighting the Japanese. So, I am not sure whether it is appropriate to find him now!"
Turing said "Oh" and understood that the leader of the Huaxia regiment was not a professional... He developed a relay computer while commanding combat research and development equipment.
Thinking of this Turing couldn't help but swallow hard, and secretly sighed in his heart, what a magical person. If he hadn't been confirmed to exist, I wouldn't have believed it was true.
Then, when he met the leader of the Chinese delegation, Turing was once again shocked by the age of the leader of the Chinese team. He originally thought that the leader of the Chinese team should be in his thirties or forty years old, but he did not expect that he was so young. He looked like he was only in his twenties.
How old... (Note: Turing was thirty-one years old at this time)
"You are Turing!" Wang Xuexin hurriedly walked out of his desk and greeted him: "Welcome, Mr. Turing!"
Turing was a little confused: "You know me?"
Wang Xuexin was stunned for a moment.
Turing's public identity at this time was just a researcher at The Sun Never Sets... a researcher at King's College, Cambridge University.
Although he has invented the "Universal Decoder", because this thing is a high-level secret and has not yet been released to the public, Turing is still unknown at this time.
In this way, it is a bit strange that Wang Xuexin, a group leader far away in China, would know the name Turing.
Fortunately, Wang Xuexin was smart. He immediately thought that if Turing was a mathematician, he must have published some papers, so he replied: "I have read your paper, it's called..."
In fact, Wang Xuexin didn’t even know the name of the paper.
But Turing's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Have you read it? Have you really read it? "On the Application of Numerical Calculation in Decision-Making Problems," right?"
"Yes, of course!" Wang Xuexin seemed to have just remembered the name of the paper: "That's it!"
"Do you agree with the views I wrote in the paper?" Turing asked excitedly.
"Of course!" Wang Xuexin said: "That's a great idea!"
Wang Xuexin groaned secretly in his heart. In fact, he didn't know the content of this paper at all. If he continued to talk in depth, he would be betrayed.
Wang Xuexin was about to change the topic, but Turing said: "Yes, you must also feel this way. The relay we are developing now is very similar to the content of my paper, right? To be precise, we are doing
Yes, that’s what I said about using machines to solve real-life problems! Is that why you found this paper?”
Wang Xuexin was stunned. Could it be that... this paper is a "Turing machine"?
