Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 185: Chapter 163: Master of Magic Decoding

Zhao Yi had also become somewhat of a minor celebrity, with his fame mainly coming from the solution to the ’Collatz Conjecture’.

’Collatz Conjecture’ does not involve prime numbers, it is not a highly difficult conjecture in number theory, but because it is ’simple to understand’, it has become extremely famous.

This makes sense.

People find it hard to remember the names of complex mathematical problems, yet they have deep impressions of mathematical problems they can understand.

The name ’Goldbach Conjecture’ appears in middle school and even primary school textbooks, but the Goldbach Conjecture is not the ’first difficulty in mathematics’. Fermat’s Last Theorem, which has been proven, and the Goldbach Conjecture are on the same level.

In the field of prime number problems in number theory, the Riemann Conjecture is far more valuable than the Goldbach Conjecture, and even though it has not been proven yet, it has already been applied in many fields.

The Riemann Conjecture and Fermat’s Last Theorem are no less difficult mathematical problems than the Goldbach Conjecture. The Goldbach Conjecture, however, is far more famous than them, simply because the Goldbach Conjecture is simple and easy to understand. As long as one knows the definition of a prime number, one can understand what the conjecture is about.

The same goes for the Collatz Conjecture.

The Collatz Conjecture has become so popular that it has turned into a mathematical game, so naturally, its proof would cause a sensation.

Zhao Yi’s proof of the Collatz Conjecture greatly increased his fame.

And this was only the beginning.

Some provincial Departments of Education have already planned to add the extracurricular short story ’Zhao Yi, a Chinese high school student, solves the Collatz Conjecture’ to middle school and primary school textbooks. In the future, Zhao Yi might become one of the ’few living figures in textbooks’.

So, most people consider Zhao Yi to be a genius mathematician.

However, people within the computer industry think differently.

They remember Zhao Yi mainly for his ’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’, with the proof of the Collatz Conjecture also coming from the ’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’.

The computer and internet industries are at the forefront of the age. Industry insiders must keep up with the times, lest they be quickly eliminated. Zhao Yi invented a completely new algorithm, providing a new algorithmic idea to the world’s computer field, and it will definitely be widely used in the future.

So, when people in the computer industry mention Zhao Yi’s name, they always associate it with ’filtering method’. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

The same is true for Zhou Kai.

He saw Zhao Yi’s coverage on the internet, and a particular image in the new information online immediately made him think of ’filtering-method’ Zhao Yi.

Zhou Kai became serious instantly.

At first, when he saw the news, he felt that it was exaggerating reality. Perhaps people who don’t understand computers, upon seeing an interesting piece of intelligent technology, just took pictures to show it off. Moreover, because the description itself was not clear, it was hard to say whether it was true or not.

But it was different when he saw Zhao Yi’s name.

Zhao Yi is a super genius in computers, having independently invented a completely new analysis algorithm. Definitely having his unique insights in the field of algorithms, the research out of a robot that can automatically find paths and recognize objects seemed believable.

Zhou Kai seriously studied the news released online. The more closely he looked at the pictures and made comparisons, the more surprised he became.

He began by studying the video of the robot navigating.

Ordinary people were just there for the spectacle, thinking that the robot seemed very powerful being able to evade obstructions and find unobstructed passages. Zhou Kai, on the other hand, could discern the technological content within.

Firstly, detecting the man on the stairs as an obstruction and stopping half a meter away indicates the likely usage of Dynamic Image Analysis, directly defining the person standing in front as an obstruction.

Next was the way it navigated.

The robot kept moving horizontally, not stopping at all in the middle, which meant that during the process of moving horizontally, it was constantly calculating obstruction problems.

Both of these factors layered together was enough to prove that the robot was using Dynamic Image Analysis.

After the robot stopped, it went to the obstructions-free passageway, definitely having made an accurate judgment about the obstruction. Subsequently, using a certain judgement method, it stopped right in the middle of the obstruction-free passage.

The robot didn’t proceed directly into the obstruction-free passage, but paused for one to two seconds, likely calculating whether it could enter.

This point was very impressive.

The robot used Dynamic Image Analysis to calculate the slope, analyzing whether it could cross. This is even more complex than detecting obstructions because previous obstructions had clear heights while the camera’s shot of the slope produced flat images. Adding more cameras to carry out comparative analysis and striving to determine the accurate value of slope was also a complex calculation.

So... how did it do it?

Zhou Kai began to watch it again and again, studying the video for a while and then looking at the pictures of the robot shopping. Coupled with the description of the post, he began to understand the robot’s performance somewhat, yet there were still many things he didn’t understand.

The only thing he could be sure of was that the robot had definitely achieved item dynamic recognition functionality to some extent.

"Hiss..."

Zhou Kai took a deep breath.

This matter was of great significance.

Hai Tian Tech is a company primarily engaged in the development of security equipment. Their products can be sold all over the world, but with the continuous development of technology, security equipment also has to keep pace with the times.

For example, the most straightforward for monitoring equipment.

Some customers demand monitoring equipment with Dynamic Image Analysis functionality, reminding security personnel immediately when monitoring spots designated special items, instead of security personnel having to rely on continuous visual inspection.

Sea Sky Tech understands the importance of technology.

They specifically set up a research and development department to develop software and technology related to product equipment, but there have been no significant technological breakthroughs all this time.
