Chapter 912 - 345: The Light in the Eyes

Qiao Ze ended the video call, and his gaze fell on Li Chengze across from him. Their eyes met, and Qiao Ze said, "Did you hear?"

"Yes."

"Are you willing?"

"This has nothing to do with personal willingness. Following orders is my duty."

"Oh." Qiao Ze nodded and asked, "Primarily ensuring no leaks?"

"Also responsible for your safety." After saying this, Li Chengze thought for a moment and added, "Close-protection type."

"Oh." Qiao Ze suddenly thought of Lv Bei, and then asked, "Lv Bei?"

"Actually, we're not part of the same system. He's with the Ninth Bureau, which is essentially the former 8341 Unit. We're part of the military," Li Chengze explained.

Qiao Ze frowned slightly and asked, "Is there a difference?"

"Yes. For instance, they are directly managed by the General Office and The Staff Department and have no local branches."

"I mean, is there any difference in providing security services?"

"Hmm... Their field operations are too soft, while we are more robust. Does that count? For example—just an example—if I had been responsible for your security back then, the incident where someone from the Capital entered your office without permission would not have happened." Li Chengze said assertively.

"Oh." Qiao Ze nodded ambiguously. It seemed this person had done quite a bit of homework before coming here.

It was likely that when Li Chengze received his orders, he had already prepared to stay in Xilin.

This implied that the decision to hand the Shenji Project over to him had probably already been made internally.

Fortunately, Qiao Ze didn't mind any of this.

In fact, he believed that to maximize Dou Dou's potential, it would need more computing power, more interfaces, and differentiated permissions. It was like how most electrical devices perform better with regular use but tend to develop issues when left idle for extended periods.

For intelligent models like Dou Dou, which weren't particularly reliant on big data, broader cross-industrial applications made them smarter.

As philosophy posits, everything in this world is interconnected, and so it is with research and applied fields. For example, materials models have driven rapid progress in numerous industries, and conversely, advancements in those industries have refined the materials models.

The Deep Sea Exploration research system can map the seabed's topography and gather first-hand meteorological, climate, and hydrological data. Integrating this into the Shenji Project could provide commanders with more detailed data during wargame simulations.

Similarly, Dou Dou's involvement in Shenji Project simulations and exposure to commanders' thought processes could make it more flexible when controlling deep-sea clusters, bringing its thinking closer to human cognition. A mutually beneficial arrangement.

"Coordinate the handover with Lv Bei," Qiao Ze instructed.

Qiao Ze valued security but couldn't be bothered to handle it himself.

If any issues arose, Dou Dou would naturally catch and fill in the gaps. Across the building and surrounding neighborhood, there were thousands of cameras. Humans might not notice subtle changes immediately, but Dou Dou definitely would. After all, the primary purpose of developing artificial intelligence was to make humans' lives easier.

"Understood. I'll head off now. Also, the complete materials on the Shenji Project will be delivered this afternoon."

"Alright."

...

Watching Li Chengze leave the office, Qiao Ze rubbed his temples with a hand, a flicker of fatigue flashing in his eyes.

He wasn't in the mood to think about these matters.

Whether Li Chengze and Lv Bei would end up fighting was even further removed from his concerns.

In fact, even with his workload slightly increasing, Qiao Ze didn't particularly care.

As he had always maintained, while Dou Dou wasn't great at academic research, its abilities and efficiency in other tasks were outstanding. Hence, he didn't need to worry about most issues—he merely needed to write a few interfaces personally after receiving the materials.

What truly troubled Qiao Ze now was that the theoretical research on grand unification still hadn't made any progress.

Qiao Ze hoped to construct a grand unification theory, which could be understood as Hilbert's Sixth Problem: the mathematization of physical laws. More specifically, it aimed to describe all natural phenomena using a single unified mathematical language.

This required uncovering the deep structural relationships between different theories.

Even though he had previously solved the ancient problem of the Riemann Hypothesis on a whim, he had switched mental gears multiple times without finding a clear direction for constructing the unification theory—or rather, he hadn't identified a proper starting point to solve this series of challenges.

And if he intended to expand this theory into theoretical physics, the difficulty would only escalate.

Even if he successfully created an entirely new mathematical framework and applied it to physics—especially for describing fundamental particles, forces, and their interactions—the challenge lay in clarifying these mathematical structures' specific representations and significance in the physical world... the difficulty remained immense.

Furthermore, translating this framework into problems that physicists could understand, ideally with predictive capabilities tested through experiments, was another obstacle...

The lack of acceptance for string theory among many physicists until now was, at its core, due to it being too ahead of its time. Currently, there was simply no way to experimentally validate it.

For instance, superstring theory predicts additional spatial dimensions, but these dimensions are compactified, making them unobservable.

Similarly, superstring theory predicts the existence of particles similar to known ones but with greater mass, known as supersymmetric partner particles. According to the theory, every fermion has a corresponding boson partner, and vice versa.
