Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 649 - 648: Scientist

Ultimately, it was Jiang Cheng who noticed something was wrong with Yang Jiqian's physical condition and administered a Genetic Enhancement Potion to her, allowing her body to undergo transformation.

After Yang Jiqian was altered by the Genetic Potion, her physical attributes improved dramatically, starting to become somewhat non-human.

Only then could she adapt to the high-intensity work and consistently maintain abundant energy.

With her body keeping pace, Yang Jiqian became even more unstoppable, spending several consecutive days in the laboratory. If not for Jiang Cheng telling her to go back and rest, she might have ended up staying in the lab for an extended period.

In this round of dark matter research, with Yang Jiqian as a competent assistant, Jiang Cheng's study progressed considerably smoothly.

There are already some preliminary results in the lab. Although they haven't truly entered a substantive research phase yet, the current achievements are quite impressive.

Today, the two concluded another busy day, and it's already approaching midnight.

Basically, they only rest at this time every day and return to the lab early the next day to continue their diligent work.

If it weren't for their non-human physical capabilities, they likely wouldn't be able to endure such a work intensity.

After finishing her last bit of work, Yang Jiqian picked up some materials and found Jiang Cheng.

"Boss, here is today's experimental data. I found some anomalies in it.

"I've already analyzed and organized all the anomalous data; the results are all here for you to review."

As she spoke, she placed all the materials in front of Jiang Cheng and waited for his response.

Upon hearing Yang Jiqian's voice, Jiang Cheng realized she had come over.

He looked up at Yang Jiqian briefly but didn't immediately pick up the documents.

Instead, he lowered his head again, continuing to focus intently on the data displayed on the instrument in front of him.

While examining the various data appearing on the instrument, he said to Yang Jiqian, "Put the documents there for now. Once I finish this final experiment—it'll only take a few minutes—wait a bit, and I'll be right with you."

After a few minutes, Jiang Cheng had Lucy record the last set of readings.

Only then did he satisfactorily shut down the instrument in front of him and glance up at Yang Jiqian standing there.

"Hmm, are today's data summarized? Let me see which areas show anomalies."

The experiment they're conducting involves analyzing the properties of dark matter, summarizing patterns from the analysis, and ultimately uncovering the secrets of dark matter through these patterns.

They essentially conduct numerous experiments daily, generating a large amount of research data.

Most of this data is essentially useless, and they only focus on the rare anomalous data points.

Lucy usually pre-screens such anomalous data, highlighting the valuable ones, then handing them over to Jiang Cheng or Yang Jiqian for summary.

The two of them are tasked with identifying those valuable anomalous data points and determining their usefulness.

All the tedious work is relegated to Lucy, while the tasks requiring innovative thinking—work that Lucy, as an Artificial Intelligence, cannot replace—are left to them.

Although Lucy excels in computational and analytical capabilities, she struggles when it comes to innovative thinking.

This is the inherent limitation of Artificial Intelligence—there are many areas where AI still can't surpass real humans.

Having Artificial Intelligence is undoubtedly convenient, saving researchers a considerable amount of time.

But if Lucy were to be tasked with independently conducting research work, it would be asking too much.

While Artificial Intelligence far surpasses humans in computational volume and analytical capabilities, its ability for independent, creative thought is notably weak.

Thus, the notion of Artificial Intelligence ruling over humans in movies is completely baseless, merely idle fantasies of some individuals.

In Jiang Cheng's past life, Artificial Intelligence had developed to a high level and was present in every aspect.

Yet, there were no instances of AI rebelling, so AI fundamentally cannot surpass humans.

Artificial Intelligence is merely an advanced creation and can never replace humans as the master.

Jiang Cheng picked up the materials from the table and started discussing today's work with Yang Jiqian as he reviewed them.

"Hmm, this set of anomalous data is quite interesting; it could be worth following up to find out what causes it."

"Your analysis is fine, but you missed a subtle aspect that needs improvement to refine the results fully."

"The formula you used here isn't very appropriate. Although it reaches the final result, there are several unnecessary steps. I have a simpler method that could save you a lot of the calculation process."

As Jiang Cheng reviewed the materials Yang Jiqian brought over, he summarized her day's work.

After summarizing the materials, Jiang Cheng said to Yang Jiqian, "Alright, I've gone through today's data. Overall, there's been quite a significant harvest, not a small one."

"At the rate we're researching, it shouldn't take a month to complete all the research work."

"Now, tell me about any problems encountered today, or you can discuss your current views on dark matter."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jiqian began detailing her day's research process, then raised several questions for Jiang Cheng to answer.

This was Yang reporting her work situation to Jiang Cheng. At the end of each research day, they conducted this session.

While Yang Jiqian reported to Jiang Cheng, he would also point out areas where she needed improvement or provide theoretical guidance.

The daily work summary sessions also served as Jiang Cheng's teaching time, during which Yang Jiqian learned many useful things each day.

After this period of learning, Yang Jiqian found her research skills had significantly improved.

Often, after a few days, problems she previously didn't understand became clear to her.

Many issues that were challenging for her before now seemed much simpler.

These aspects indicate that Yang Jiqian has made tremendous progress in this period.

Compared to just after leaving university, Yang Jiqian's proficiency has reached a new level.

Now, Yang Jiqian is already a competent scientist, albeit with some insufficiencies in experience.
