Chapter 260 260: Intelligent Life
"Mother, don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who speaks without thinking. Since I said this at the lecture, I've already made some preparations," Jiang Cheng said with a confident smile.
Lv Tengyun looked at Jiang Cheng, hesitated for a while, then sighed helplessly and chose to trust Jiang Cheng, "Since you say so, I have nothing more to say..."
After the Hasslo Medical Lecture was over, Jiang Cheng's speech content spread wildly worldwide. All the media, after obtaining firsthand information, rushed to report it—even small media outlets or some self-media platforms, even if they got the news second or third hand, they still used it without hesitation.
It was evident, just like not long ago when news about the release of Virtual Reality Devices and Transparent Phones was reported. Large media outlets reported it immediately, so the small and self-media couldn't just ignore such news. As a media organization, no matter its size, it must try to latch onto hot topics to attract more attention.
As these reports unfolded, a storm of discussion around Jiang Cheng's lecture content erupted instantly!
A while ago, Xia Xiaowei was a web host, and in other times, she helped her family's company manage some affairs. She didn't have a stable job. Though she was capable, coming from a prestigious school, and had impeccable looks, voice, and even character, she really didn't have work experience.
Upon first joining Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company as Jiang Cheng's only secretary and assistant, Xia Xiaowei was initially apprehensive, worried about her ability to do the job. Her mood was uneasy. But as time passed, with more time invested in this job, she gradually realized that many things weren't as difficult as she had imagined.
As Jiang Cheng's secretary and assistant, although Xia Xiaowei had to handle many things daily due to Jiang Cheng's irresponsibility, most decisions had to be made by her. Only when faced with something beyond her capabilities would she consult Jiang Cheng. For regular matters, she had certain authority to handle them. If she couldn't resolve it herself, she could consult the intelligent lifeform on Jiang Cheng's computer, Lucy, to discuss how to proceed. In terms of capability, Lucy far surpassed her — during this time, her constant curiosity was about how high Lucy's level of intelligence was compared to a human's cognitive thinking ability.
Lucy is an intelligent lifeform, Xia Xiaowei understood that when it comes to computation, probably no one on Earth could compare with Lucy. After all, no matter how powerful human calculation ability is, it can't match a computer. Yet, Xia Xiaowei also knew that humanity is distinguished by the ability to consider things beyond computation.
Just like some people with extraordinary mental calculation skills, often called "child prodigies," who at a young age could solve various complex arithmetic problems. Yet, does that make them mathematicians? The answer is obviously no. No matter how proficient in calculating math they are, they cannot become mathematicians.
After all, these computations can be easily solved with a computer. A real mathematician should be able to calculate what computers cannot, possessing more abstract and imaginative thinking, which is the greatest difference between humans and machines.
Human mental calculation capabilities can be honed through practice, but abstract, imaginative mathematical problems can only be grasped by mathematicians, largely because of natural talent, which even with effort is hard to achieve.
Xia Xiaowei's curiosity lies in whether Lucy, as an intelligent lifeform with extraordinary computational power, can possess problem-solving methods like a human genius? Is her intelligence really that impressive?
Over time, Xia Xiaowei gradually understood the answer. The cognitive abilities of the intelligent lifeform Lucy were not only about computation but were comprehensive and formidable! This made Xia Xiaowei greatly admire Lucy — and even more so, Jiang Cheng. She was curious about what method was used to create an intelligent lifeform like Lucy.
It is said that life is the greatest miracle on Earth, and as the pinnacle of life on Earth, humanity is an astonishing miracle — in the vast universe, planets like Earth with life are scarce. Many people say the existence of humans was created by a creator, and now Jiang Cheng has also created life, so in a sense, Jiang Cheng seems to have reached the tier of creators.
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaowei couldn't help but feel moved. Often, she had a feeling that in the not-so-distant future, she might witness more and more miracles with Jiang Cheng, witnessing the coming of a new era! Every time she thought of this, Xia Xiaowei couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
At this moment, Xia Xiaowei was at the Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company handling some of her work — as the chairman's secretary, the amount of work she needed to manage was not excessively large, but not small either, within her capabilities, to say the least, she managed skillfully.
Xia Xiaowei quickly completed today's work, opened the computer, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Lucy, are you there?"
"Xia Xiaowei, is there something I can help with?" Lucy's figure instantly appeared on the computer screen in response to Xia Xiaowei's call, looking at Xia Xiaowei, asking.
"Yes. Jiang Cheng should have gone to the United States by now; by my calculations, he should be attending the lecture. No, the lecture should be over now; is there any news?" Xia Xiaowei thought for a moment and spoke.
"News about the master?" Hearing this, Xia Xiaowei immediately nodded and said, "Of course, there is. The Hasslo Lecture has indeed already ended. Regarding the master's speech, I think it will soon be published in the global news media and become a focus of worldwide attention—"
"Uh? So exaggerated?" Xia Xiaowei was stunned for a moment. Although Jiang Cheng was very popular, it was, after all, just a medical speech. Even so, it shouldn't be so exaggerated to become a global focus like Virtual Reality Devices or Transparent Phones?
