94: From Technological Warfare to Space Empire

Chapter 34 Hope



Chapter 34 Hope

"No!"

"No!"

Chief Engineer Lin and Lin Yu shouted at the same time, then looked at each other and nodded in approval.

Chief Engineer Lin rushed over to Professor Song, taking three steps at a time, and angrily patted him on the shoulder:

"Zhiwei, how old are you! How come you can't see as clearly as Xiaoyu?"

Chief Engineer Lin coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention:

"Please don't take offense at my harsh words, but no one is allowed to spread this matter!"

"Moreover, we must wait for the higher-ups to arrive, completely block all intelligence, and wait for everyone to review it before we can leave."

"No one is leaving this house until the intelligence is completely blocked. Even if you die, you'll die inside!"

Hearing Chief Engineer Lin's stern words, the professors nodded solemnly.

None of them were unaware of the significance of the accuracy of GPS signals to the country.

The US is only willing to open up civilian GPS to us now because they are certain they can control the situation.

If we can establish a solid satellite network that can compete with them, that would be great. Then we would have the confidence to compete on equal footing without fear.

However, the country's satellite communication network has not been established at all, and it must rely on the US civilian GPS.

If the US finds out that their SA policy interference can be cracked, then China will soon find itself without satellite positioning available.

This matter has far-reaching implications. Professor Song was just overwhelmed by the surprise, but now that Chief Engineer Lin has said this, he has come to his senses.

Neither telegraph, fax, nor mobile phone signal frequencies were secure enough, which could lead to intelligence leaks.

The best solution right now is to keep everyone physically trapped here until the confidentiality regulations are fully implemented, so that not a single bit of this information can be leaked.

The professors looked at each other with serious expressions. They all believed that there was no mole among them, but the procedures still had to be followed, and they had to be cautious.

Finally, Chief Engineer Lin walked to the front of the podium and bowed deeply to Lin Yu, who was surrounded by a group of professors.

"Comrade Lin Yu, thank you for your hard work in this research!"

Chief Engineer Lin's sudden deep bow startled Lin Yu, who quickly reached out to help him up.

When Chief Engineer Lin looked up again, Lin Yu saw that Chief Engineer Lin's gray beard was covered with tears.

"Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older..."

"We've been learning from Big Brother for thirty years, and from the Americans for thirty years."

"Now there is finally a field in which we are at the forefront internationally."

"Well done, Xiaoyu. Over the years, people all over the country have suffered countless hardships in order to learn new international technologies."

"We went out to study hard, and the people sold cloth and rice to exchange for foreign exchange to buy outdated machinery."

As Chief Engineer Lin touched the Clay supercomputer, he was overcome with emotion, and the professors were reminded of their arduous and extraordinary academic journey.

"In the pursuit of knowledge, those who have attained it come first."

"Comrade Lin Yu, could you tell us how you developed artificial intelligence? How did you use algorithms to reverse engineer the SA policy noise code?"

With the supercomputer right there and the program running, the professors readily believed that this was artificial intelligence.

The improvement in GPS accuracy is an undeniable fact.

Previously, in order to improve GPS accuracy, they had tried countless methods and taken many detours, but none of them could compare to Lin Yu's method, and at most, the error was only about fifty meters.

But now the distance has been reduced to 1.2 meters... Keep in mind that even the US military GPS only has an accuracy of 1 meter!

Seeing the over thirty elderly professors with gray hair looking so emotional, Lin Yu's nose also tingled with emotion.

In less than 80 years since its founding, China has covered the ground that other countries took 300 years to traverse, and along the way, some developed countries have been sucking our blood.

Only those who shouldered the burden for the country know the hardships they endured along the way.

None of the parts of the republic are intact, because everyone has poured their heart and soul into building this massive state machine.

Lin Yu sniffed, controlled his emotions, and then picked up the chalk to write and draw his understanding of artificial intelligence on the blackboard.

Artificial intelligence experienced a near-depression throughout the 20th century, only gradually developing in the 21st century.

The reason it was able to develop in the 21st century is that the core change lies in the Bayesian equation moving from a neglected corner to the forefront.

Bayes' equation theorem holds a position in machine learning and artificial algorithms almost equivalent to Newton's three laws of motion, which catalyzed the birth of physics; Faraday's theory of electromagnetic induction, which catalyzed the electrical age; and Schrödinger's equation, which catalyzed modern semiconductor electronics.

It is a mathematical probability algorithm that enables computers to learn to predict and make decisions from data through probability calculations.

In 1994, Lin Yu dared to say that no one understood Bayes' equations better than him.

Because at this time, Bayes' equations were only unearthed from the dustbin of history in a few laboratories, and these laboratories lacked exploration of future directions.

Lin Yu held the chalk, writing and drawing as he went, while simultaneously bringing up the supercomputer's equations to provide practical guidance on-site.

I didn't stop talking until I got to the "Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method (hereinafter referred to as MCMC)" to catch my breath and take a sip of water.

The reason why Bayes' equation was not valued in the 20th century is because it has a core problem: it is difficult to calculate the vast future trends by calculation alone.

No supercomputer has the computing power to calculate the probability model of the Bayesian equation.

But Lin Yu knew that in later generations there was another MCMC method that could greatly simplify the algorithm requirements of Bayesian equations.

This method allows us to obtain the posterior model simply by simulating it.

Just as Lin Yu was explaining the basics of MCMC in simple terms, the higher-ups arrived.

Seeing the professors in the room so focused and eager to learn, Minister Hou gestured for the guards to be quiet. He didn't go in to disturb them, but stood quietly behind the glass window by the door, listening to Lin Yu's lecture.

It wasn't until 3 hours later.

Lin Yucai then gave a general explanation of the Bayesian algorithm and MCMC to the group of professors.

Bayesian algorithm is one thing, but which of you professors here isn't an old hand? You all know about it, even though it's a niche topic.

However, MCMC was beyond the comprehension of most professors.

When Lin Yu finished explaining the MCMC method, Professor Wang stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

After Professor Wang's applause, the other professors, as if waking from a dream, joined in with applause, and for a moment, thunderous applause erupted. Minister Hou also clapped his hands lightly outside the door.

"Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!"

"What is this algorithm called, and why is it called MCMC?"

"I think we should call it the Lin Yu Theorem!"

The professors started discussing it animatedly.

After hearing the professors' remarks, Lin Yu thought for a moment. He didn't know when MCMC was founded, but he was certain that its contents had not yet spread to China.

In 94, it was still the end of the AI ​​winter. Even though MCMC had been born in this era, no one paid attention to it, let alone combined it with Bayesian equations.

Looking at the expectant and eager gazes of the professors, Lin Yu knew that... the professors needed a clear answer from a young phoenix that surpassed the old phoenix to justify their lifelong efforts.

That was the unchanging awareness of that generation, and also the ultimate goal of their efforts.

After them, there will be no more great floods.

The new generation will thrive under the protection of the Republic, growing taller and bigger until no one can ever look down on the Chinese nation again.

And now, we are a new generation that has grown up under their protection.

Lin Yu gritted his teeth and decided to be a shameless coward, a sunny and confident smile spreading across his face:

"Because every application of this method is a blind test, I call it MCMC."

"The professors are flattering me, so calling it the Lin Yu Law wouldn't be so bad."

The boy's smile was bright and confident, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning.

The professors burst into laughter, cheering repeatedly.

"Okay! Okay! Let's call it the Lin Yu Law!"

"From today onwards, we also have our own world-class technology."

Professor Wang, who was clapping, couldn't hold back his tears and no longer harbored any resentment towards Professor Song and his apprentice Lin Yu.

They have suffered so much over the years.

They are never afraid of hardship; what they fear is the absence of hope.

And now, the Chinese technology created by millions of Chinese people in the future is being brought back to this era by Lin Yu and blossoms!
