Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 852 - 294: Academician Qiao Really Knows How to Play_2
When introducing this high-end series’ functionality of the Tai Chi Computer to everyone, please allow me to ramble a bit more. Those who watched the live broadcast four years ago should know that I founded a company called Xi Yu Technology.
The purpose of founding this company at the time was to provide computing services to major materials laboratories as well as our moon landing project. Even when we were using very primitive electronic computing products, the computing services provided by it already surpassed the entire industry.
However, at that time, we were still constrained by some technical dilemmas, such as facing exponential computational complexity when calculating materials’ electronic structures, and the design of new materials experiments was still quite headache-inducing due to strongly correlated systems.
For example, the catalyst design often used in the field of materials was very dependent on trial and error, which often took months or even years, and no software could effectively simulate real microscopic effects.
But now, when we have a high-end Tai Chi series computer, like the Supreme series being presented now, the situation is different.
Next, I will show everyone a comparison between the implementation of relevant functions of the Tai Chi Computer and using traditional software like VASP and Gaussian for the same tasks. Certainly, the upcoming demonstration will be quite professional...
So I cannot guarantee that everyone will understand the difference between the two; I can only do my best to help everyone feel the gap between them. Of course, I know that many friends might not be interested in the upcoming presentation, but if you wish to leave, please try to keep quiet."
To be honest, when Qiao Yu said these words, it was quite disappointing to most ordinary electronics enthusiasts.
After all, for the majority of ordinary people, such highly specialized industrial software is a bit far from their daily lives.
As Qiao Yu said, the more specialized something is, the less interest it usually holds for most ordinary people.
It’s like most people use computers all their lives but have never heard of essential software for chip design like Synopsys VCS, Cadence Genus, Cadence Innovus, ModelSim, and so on.
This is also why Qiao Yu decided to put these most important features at the end for demonstration. After all, the majority of people are ordinary; he is worried that everyone might fall asleep while watching.
Now having piqued everyone’s interest, it’s time to give the other side’s tech community a small Huaxia shock.
"Little Tai, the first task: read all papers on new hydrogen production technologies from top Q1 journals in the relevant fields both domestically and internationally over the past two years.
And verify and calculate the content of these papers, select the optimal hydrogen production technology among them, and provide a further optimization method for the content of the papers. Then present the whole process in paper format."
As soon as these words fell, many people on-site began to get excited again.
Not necessarily those doing relevant research, most of them are actually students and professors.
Qiao Yu seemed to have just said that the computer would directly read the papers and then carry out verification by itself?
Does this imply that some less valuable papers might be directly sorted by the Tai Chi Computer? In other words, some fake papers might be directly picked out by the computer?
Although the papers Qiao Yu let the Tai Chi Computer read at the press conference were from top journals, which have little to do with most ordinary professors and researchers.
But when these computers are sold, the owners will have plenty of time to do various verifications. What happens if it expands from top-tier journals to second-tier or even third-tier ones?
Since Qiao Yu showcased this functionality, it’s certain that some bored people will do such things. The era of mobile internet has long allowed everyone to witness the diversity of human kinds.
Of course, these are situations that concern professors or researchers; for ordinary students, what they might care most is Qiao Yu’s last sentence - presented in the form of a paper.
If a single sentence can achieve all this, then having a high-end Tai Chi product means future thesis writing will become much easier, right?
Theoretically, letting the computer read through recent related papers and not necessarily needing the optimal paper, just taking any paper and doing some optimization, as long as it’s feasible, graduation will definitely not be a problem.
After all, those who can publish in top-tier journals are mostly big shots in their fields or those well-known labs in the industry.
Doesn’t this mean that in the future at least the difficulty for a master’s degree graduation could be greatly reduced?
It’s known that a master’s thesis defense is not as difficult as graduating from a Ph.D., at least most institutions won’t need to invite outside professors to serve as members of the examination committee.
Moreover, even Ph.Ds can very well utilize this technology, such as when deciding their topic and direction, allowing them to have an effective reference.
As long as the direction is correct, at least they won’t fall into the distress of researching for years without results, unable to graduate.
However, this isn’t over yet; clearly, whether it’s searching, reading papers, sorting them, or optimizing their contents, it all requires time.
At this moment, the display screen used for the presentation on the stage has already started working.
The main monitor and three extended secondary monitors have begun working synchronously, with the three secondary monitors rapidly searching - it’s unclear what retrieval system is being used - papers rapidly appearing and disappearing.
The main monitor has appeared with a document page, papers’ titles automatically filling in the document in the order of publication time.
Followed by the author and the names of the journals published in.
In less than two minutes, the document’s serial number has already listed a total of 378 papers.
But this is not over, as soon as the number was fixed, the document on the main monitor suddenly split into two, with the original time sorting turning into a comprehensive sorting.
The table within directly begins grading papers using various dimensions.
Innovation, credibility, methodological quality, reproducibility, data quality.
Five dimensions, each dimension receiving a score, with 378 papers beginning to be automatically sorted based on these five-dimensional comprehensive scores.
At this moment, the audience became completely quiet, but the live broadcast’s bullet comments were lively...
Strangely, the excitement at this moment was even higher than when Qiao Yu presented those public features just now.
Theoretically speaking, many people should no longer be concerned and should have left, but the actual situation is that the number of people in the live broadcast room has actually started to rise again. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Furthermore, from the screenshots of the bullet comments, one can see that countless netizens are already in the mood for a spectacle.
"Oh-ho, know what I just thought of? Once this thing is on sale, will the academic world start undergoing a major cleanup?"
"Laughing to death! God Qiao really knows how to stir things up. Do you think he’s demonstrating new technology? Wrong! He’s telling the academic world, whoever waters down their papers, passing the editor’s hurdle won’t be enough, still have to pass Tai Chi’s hurdle! Want to water down? Better pay protection fees to the Tai Chi Computer first!"
"I believe there are already many professors regretting their recent paper publications! I predict, when the high-end Tai Chi Computer goes on sale, it will usher in a wave of major paper withdrawals! Moreover, they’ll be authors proactively requesting removal!"
"Abstract, so damn abstract! I initially thought this conference, when Qiao Yu mentioned financial testing, Academician Qiao intended to wield the sword towards the finance sector, like four years ago, giving the other side a small security shock, but who would have thought the first cut strikes his peers! Wah hahahaha..."
"Perfect embodiment of ’peers are rivals’! If this thing is truly accurate, future academic big shots need to be careful with their paper publications! Be careful of peers using Tai Chi for evaluations!"
"My god, does that mean even if I don’t understand a thing, as long as I’m determined, buying a high-end Tai Chi Computer allows me to critique top-tier scientists’ papers? Oh damn? How much does this thing cost? I wasn’t tempted before, now I’m willing to sell everything I have to buy one..."
