Chapter 239 Construction Is Blocked, Plan to Change the Weather
"Good-hearted" netizens also posted the video of this battle between the strong and the soft on YouTube, and even bought the so-called promotion traffic.
In addition, there were profit-seeking media reports in various countries, and the whole world knew that Google's challenge to Tianyu Xinghai with AlphaGo failed, and it was a complete defeat.
As Rickard expected, their reputation in the country was rotten, and a group of indignant people came to their headquarters building to protest and throw rotten eggs, scolding them for losing face for the United States.
Google's board of directors also held a meeting because of this matter. Originally, it was decided at the meeting to expel Rickard and Oleana.
But think about it, without the two of them, the loss of research will be greater, so just let a vice president take the blame to calm the public anger.
This is their usual practice, but their Google stock price still fell by 13%.
Let's not talk about the economic losses first. How to limit Tianyu Xinghai's research is the biggest problem facing Google.
So soon, several news came from the West:
One is to criticize Tianyu Xinghai for researching real artificial intelligence, which may bring about an artificial intelligence crisis.
"Tianyu Xinghai is bound to open Pandora's box and release the devil of artificial intelligence!" warned a well-known scholar who won the Turing Award.
"They have no restrictions at all and allow artificial intelligence to learn knowledge on the Internet." A computer doctor spoke out in the media.
...
One criticized Tianyu Xinghai for being selfish and not contributing to the computer industry of all mankind.
"Their research and projects are not open source at all, and they don't share good things. I think Tianyu Xinghai is a completely selfish company and Ma Tian is a selfish person."
"Such a large company actually has no human responsibility. Please ask Tianyu Xinghai to immediately publish the source code of Xiaodi artificial intelligence and accept supervision from all mankind."
...
The last one condemned Tianyu Xinghai for national discrimination and that the company with the local headquarters would not recruit any foreigners.
"Tianyu Xinghai is the most 'unique' company I have ever seen. You can't see any foreign faces at their headquarters!"
...
This wave of news also came in a fierce manner. It was no surprise that several countries publicly condemned and firmly opposed Tianyu Xinghai.
For these, Ma Tian just smiled and said nothing.
The sudden change in the status and way of doing things comes from a technological power!
————
The construction of the City of Progress is still going on. Although the engineers of Tianyu Xinghai are making full use of various machines to build quickly, they are still no match for the number of days.
Xiang City was suddenly affected by a cold current and it started to drizzle.
On the first day when it rained, Ye Yuyan, the current head of the engineering team, came to Ma Tian to talk about it, because she didn't know how long the rain would last.
The answer given by the meteorological station was ambiguous, saying that the weather was changeable and unpredictable, which Ye Yuyan thought was a kind of nonsense and unreliable performance.
Ma Tian also pondered in the office, thinking that the satellite issue really had to be put on the agenda. If there was an early warning from the satellite, the whole thing would be much better.
"Let the meteorological station transfer the satellite monitoring data to us, and I will analyze it!" Ma Tian sent Ye Yuyan away first.
Then he studied in the laboratory by himself, what method could be used to make this rain fall in advance at one time.
The plum rain in Xiang City really kept falling, and it could last for three months. It feels like God is slowly pouring down the rain on earth.
But this is extremely detrimental to the construction site. It is better to poke all the rain down at once.
The satellite data of the meteorological station was quickly sent to Ma Tian's computer. Ma Tian also asked Tianji to share it on the big screen and started mathematical meteorological analysis.
As expected, after Ma Tian's calculation, this cloud layer will at least cause 3 months of continuous drizzle in the City of Progress. It's really fucked up.
It seems that it is necessary to poke it down first to change the weather.
Artificial rainfall is actually very simple. Just spread catalytic substances such as dry ice, silver iodide, and salt powder into the air. Especially now that relatively thin cumulus clouds have formed in the sky, spreading some catalytic substances can bring down the rain.
But this is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution, because the continuous drizzle in Xiang City is mainly caused by the southern branch trough on the south side of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau transporting water vapor from the ocean to the south of my country, and confronting the cold air from the north to the south.
So we have to find a way to change this airflow, and consider controlling the impact range. After all, what if other places just like this weather?
So Ma Tian’s best solution is to control the weather above the City of Progress, which requires a lot of precise calculations and considerations.
Ma Tian also studied this matter in the laboratory for three days at a time, and with the cooperation of Tianji, he considered all aspects before finally formulating a plan.
This plan is also very bold. Ma Tian’s plan is to artificially create a huge tornado on the wasteland a few kilometers away from the City of Progress to suck away the cumulus clouds that will gather above the City of Progress.
In this way, there will be a lot of rain in the tornado zone, and there will be no rain above the City of Progress, which is equivalent to artificially transporting rain clouds.
This plan is a bit too advanced. A group of Tianyu Xinghai engineers were also stunned when they saw this plan on the big screen at the meeting.
If it wasn't done by Ma Tian, they would even think someone was joking with them. How could they change the climate like this?
But this was done by Ma Tian, and they had to believe that it was really possible.
Ma Tian didn't explain the technical principles in detail, and just asked them to do it according to the division of labor in the plan.
To form such a long-lasting huge tornado, first of all, a specific cloud layer with a huge temperature difference between the upper and lower parts must be formed to create a small vortex where cold air descends and hot air rises.
Then cumulonimbus clouds must be developed inside to continue to heat up the internal latent heat, and finally rotate rapidly to create an upright hollow tubular airflow.
After about these three steps, a tornado is formed.
It looks difficult, but it is not easy to achieve.
For example, to form a cloud layer with a huge temperature difference, Ma Tian's plan is to send two special aircraft, one to spread solidified hydrogen at high altitude to form explosion heating, and the other to spread dry ice at low altitude to form gasification cooling.
Spreading dry ice is easy to say, but spreading solidified hydrogen is indeed a bit risky, after all, spreading solidified hydrogen will be ignited and heated later.
This requires considering various factors in the atmosphere, so that the tornado does not explode and blow up the plane.
And if the tornado is to last for a long time, it is necessary to send planes to drop things.
This tornado will be 300 meters in diameter, and the central wind speed may even reach level 12. Ordinary planes will definitely not be able to handle it, so a special aerodynamic wind-resistant plane must be developed.
