Technological leaps often happen overnight.
Some new tech gets officially announced, and countless ordinary people wake up the next day wondering if they've time-traveled.
This time is clearly more fierce.
Gao Yiping was just furiously complaining to Director Chen Pengfei about the rudeness of Xilin Mathematics Research Institute's artificial intelligence when the latest news broadcast dealt a heavy blow to Professor Gao.
Well, how to put it...
The scientific community is well aware that whether it's encryption algorithms with higher security or more efficient compression algorithms, they are all part of key foundational research supported by the government. They are also fields where significant breakthroughs are hard to come by since too many people are researching them.
Every conceivable approach has already been tried by someone.
To be blunt, breakthroughs in these areas rely heavily on innovations in fundamental mathematics.
