Just when Liu Gang was almost giving up all hope, Meng Fei, who was herding sheep in Muentang, received a "compulsory course" notification on the goddess system.
To put it bluntly, these courses provide training opportunities for employees and improve their business level and professionalism, but to put it bluntly, they don’t want you to be idle.
There are two types of courses, compulsory and elective. If he completes the elective courses and passes the exam, he will have a shiny badge on his goddess app avatar.
The purpose of this badge is that if your boss sees that you don't have it, he will know that you are lazy and have not taken any courses.
If you don’t take a required course, the first reminder will be sent to your boss. The second reminder will be sent to your boss’s boss. And so on.
Based on Meng Fei's current situation, he would notify Ai Ting for the first time, Li Mu for the second time, and the third email would go directly to the Prime Minister of the central province!
Most of the course content is about "morals and legality" and "the worldview of civil servants of the Republic" and other content that makes people yawn endlessly.
Meng Fei sighed helplessly and clicked on the content of this course.
“Basics of Origins: Nuclear Calculation and Negentropy.
"Time: February 5, 2021, 11 p.m.
"Location: Training Room 0102, Building 1, Munen Hall.
"Special reminder: The lecturers are senior experts specially hired from outside. Please don't be late.
"Special reminder: This course is confidential. Students are not allowed to disclose any information about this course to anyone."
"Originology?"
To Meng Fei's expectation, this course seemed a bit unexpected. He had never heard of it.
If we were talking about negative entropy, he had heard the word "entropy" in the physics class of his previous life. But what is "empty calculation"?
Needless to say, let’s start with Baidu.
In this world, he is the same as in his previous life, asking Baidu for everything.
But he failed.
There is no such word on the Internet in this world!
It's not like it didn't exist in the first place, but it seemed like it had been specially deleted.
Baidu "Originology" again.
He searched for a lot of myths and heresies from magicians.
These things don't even stick to ancient theology. They are all liars who punched kindergartens and kicked nursing homes.
Only a vague explanation on Baidu Encyclopedia caught his little attention.
"Originology: A mystical doctrine popular among the ancient clergy."
There is no more explanation.
How could something like this become a training course for civil servants!
And keep it secret?
The time is actually scheduled for eleven o'clock in the evening, so late? Absolutely perverted!
A comfortable night where I could eat potato chips and watch movies without being harassed suddenly by X, was ruined by this unexplained course.
At midnight, Meng Fei cheered up and went downstairs into the training room five minutes early.
The training room can accommodate thirty or forty students, and the lights, microphones, projectors, and whiteboards are neatly prepared, but he is the only student!
When the clock reaches eleven o'clock. He heard a series of short, powerful footsteps. After a while, the door was pushed open with a creak.
A young man with a shiny bald head, wearing a blue turtleneck sweater and a dark red-brown checkered casual suit stepped onto the podium.
He put the information in his hand on the podium, looked up and looked down, and said with a smile: "Meng Fei, I heard that you are doing a good job here."
"Mr. Luo? Why are you here?"
Meng Fei was really surprised this time.
"You can't call me that here, you have to call me teacher.
“In addition to my identity at Mantis Software, I also have another identity, which is that I am a member of the National Academy of Experts and the Origin Society.
“According to the rules of the society, joining the Origin Society must be recommended by a mentor.
"I am your mentor. So, please call me teacher."
…
After a brief exchange of greetings, Meng Fei roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
Soon the superiors will send him to participate in the investigation of a "big case". But this case will involve something related to the "origin".
Without the status of "original scholar", his current knowledge and professional level alone would not be qualified to participate in this "big case".
Since he is not an "origin scholar", the above meaning is, then quickly make him an origin scholar.
The person responsible for training him was his former boss Luo An.
"So, what exactly is Originology?"
Since it was one-on-one training, Meng Fei was not polite. Ask direct questions, bypass red tape, and learn what you want to know most.
"Originology is a theory that studies the origin of the world."
"Isn't the origin of this world very clear?"
"Then what do you think is the origin of this world?"
"this……"
Meng Fei thought for a while.
"The standard model, 62 kinds of elementary particles and 4 kinds of interaction forces, is the origin of this world?"
Luo An shook his head:
“Originology believes that this is the surface of the world rather than its origin.
“Have you ever heard of delayed choice experiments?
"If it's just particles and the interactions between particles, how can we explain that subsequent observations can determine events that have already happened?"
The weird thing about delayed-choice experiments is that they seem to challenge the laws of causation.
Obviously, the photon has already passed its path before you make the observation decision.
But which path it passed can actually be determined by your subsequent observations?
This means that the future can determine the past.
Relying on the knowledge from his previous life, Meng Fei is confident that he can still compete with these magicians in this other world.
In addition to the so-called origins that he didn't understand, this world also had things like quantum mechanics and relativity.
"Quantum mechanics believes that unobserved photons have no definite position and no definite path.
"It was only after it was observed afterwards that the path collapsed, and the path was determined."
"Don't you think this explanation is awesome? If you don't understand, just say you can't be sure..."
Now in Meng Fei's eyes, Luo An, who has become a magic stick, actually hit him on the head with this stick first?
No, not him, but the gods of the great Copenhagen School of his former life.
"Then what do you think is a better explanation?"
Meng Fei immediately raised his ax to "question questions". Since you say I'm wrong, you'd better prove you're right.
"The path that the photon has taken is not uncertain, but there is no need to calculate it at all, right?
“If something cannot be seen by any user and will not affect any user, why waste computing power to calculate its trajectory and location?
“Wouldn’t it be less computationally expensive to wait until someone sees it?”
Luo An asked the same question.
Meng Fei felt as if he had gotten something.
In the game world, there are thousands of characters, tens of millions of objects, or patches.
But there will be no program that calculates the "dark areas" outside the visible area that no one can see.
If the user stays in a closed room without windows, you can just paint a mural in the room.
Why bother calculating and drawing parts outside the room that users can't see at all? Don't you think the graphics card is hot enough?
Quantum mechanics says that "the position of this particle is uncertain." Is it better to say that the system does not calculate the position of the particle at all in order to save computing power?
When it comes to cause and effect, if you don’t even care about the effect, why bother calculating the cause?
When the particle hits the user's retina, the position must be calculated.
"It's okay if you insist on thinking so. These are all reasonable explanations anyway."
Meng Fei curled his lips and looked like he was too lazy to argue with you anymore.
"But what is 'empty calculation'?"
