Li Zhuang doesn't like to celebrate the New Year. Every time he celebrates the New Year, it means he is one year older, and he is afraid of death.
"Can a life-extending liquid be developed?" Li Zhuang once asked the national treasure.
"Yes, but it will take time." Kung Fu Panda looked confident.
"How long?" Li Zhuang asked.
"In another thirty years, I guess I will be able to develop it by then. I have to hope that my brain cells have not aged."
Someone was vomiting blood and waved his hand to drive the panda away.
Wesen Technology is now the largest company in K City and pays the most taxes, so Li Zhuang has become one of the focus figures. His habits have been understood by the people in the city government, and they rarely come to harass him frequently. They usually come in groups, which can reduce his troubles and impatience. This is exactly what happened when he came to pay New Year's greetings this year.
"Long live understanding!" Li Zhuang shouted while lying on the sofa.
¡°Mommy, daddy is crazy,¡± Shuangwei said in a milky voice and ran to the kitchen to find Lisa, which made Li Zhuang furious.
"The little brat is indeed a brat, he doesn't understand anything." Li Zhuang muttered and then thought of the speaker-level brain, they are all brats, but can the upgraded super loudspeaker be successful? It seems possible in theory.
Early in the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Zhuang ran to the cafeteria to finish breakfast, eat after the meal, take a walk first, and collect his thoughts.
There is no work in the industrial zone yet, and there are only two or three employees in Weisen Technology Park moving about. Li Zhuang walked for about ten minutes and went up to the sixteenth floor of the Hexagon Building. The journey was smooth. There are tens of thousands of people in Wesson Technology Park, but he is the only one who has this kind of treatment, and Lisa has to accompany him to come up.
"Good morning, father!" The Xiaoxiao family said hello to Li Zhuang together.
"Well, hello kids, Big Speaker, I want to help you change the module, you save the data."
"Yes, father." The indicator lights of each module of the big speaker flashed for a while, and then went out one after another. Finally, the main module entered the sleep state, and the bulletproof module shield automatically opened.
While Li Zhuang replaced the auxiliary module of the big speaker that had been severely worn during this period, he was wondering whether it was necessary to design a replacement program so that other speaker command robots could maintain each other.
"It is necessary to do this, otherwise I will always have to replace it, which is a bit troublesome. In the future, if the speaker family grows to hundreds of units, then I will not die from exhaustion." Li Zhuang thought of this possibility, and the speaker-level module replacement only requires If he can do it himself, if other people want to change, they have to ask the high-power laser nearby if they agree.
The core module has not been moved, and Li Zhuang does not dare to move. This is a problem he has considered for a long time. Even though the big speaker was born more than three years ago, he still can't figure out why intelligence appears. It seems that when the neural network reaches a certain level of complexity, quantitative changes will turn into qualitative changes.
When he originally designed the loudspeaker, Li Zhuang considered that artificial intelligence life was a new thing. If it really appeared, the life of the core module must be long, otherwise scenes of life and death would occur again. In the core module of the large speaker, even the capacitors are made of the best quality tantalum polymer capacitors with ultra-low operating voltage. Power management is a key consideration. It can directly cut off the power when the circuit is overloaded or the loudspeaker becomes confused. The entire module is designed to have a lifespan of up to sixty years.
This is why Li Zhuang bothered Liang Can at the risk of leaking the secret. The quality of the high-quality components he bought from the market was not as good as advertised. It costs a lot of extra money, but compared to a life, money is not important.
The auxiliary module of the small speaker has also been replaced. The small speaker and the four-speaker can still be used for a long time, so they have not been replaced.
Li Zhuang inserted the ultra-large-capacity USB disk that he always carried with him into the data input port of the big speaker, and the big speaker started to read the data.
"Big speaker, start the robot manufacturing program!" Li Zhuang ordered, the big speaker responded, and the equipment on the entire floor began to operate automatically.
The two cargo robots assembled by Li Zhuang kept picking up the required spare parts and materials from the neatly arranged warehouse, and sent them along the assembly line to the manufacturing workshop upstairs. The ultra-high-precision stamping machine tool began to press the ultra-high-strength alloy steel handmade by Dr. Xiao Zhicheng of the New Materials Laboratory into the designed shape, and then performed precision laser heat treatment. After cooling, it was sent to the micro-assembly workshop on the 16th floor. Various required spare parts are neatly arranged around the automatic assembly line in order, waiting to be picked up by the large speaker robot.
The shape of a humanoid robot gradually appeared in front of Li Zhuang, and the power device was installed.
The hexahedral carbon nanotube crystals produced by Yamamoto's basic theoretical research and Ackerman's own use of condensation lasers, and the carbon nanotube supercapacitor battery carefully developed by He Xiuwen, which is twenty times more expensive than the same weight of gold, were installed in the heart of the robot. The location is enough to give this robot an amazingIt can provide breath and intense activity for up to half an hour, and can be fully charged in a short time. The wireless charging devices densely distributed on each floor are enough to ensure its free movement. Its weapons are a high-power laser gun developed by Ren Mingmei and a carbon nanoalloy whip developed by a German researcher in the Nanotechnology Laboratory. Its precision manipulator is more powerful than the fist of a human boxing champion.
The final process is to insert the five-level artificial intelligence module that Li Zhuang painstakingly produced into the robot's head. The large speaker activates the parallel computing main processor and conducts synchronous information exchange with the robot. Then the exquisitely designed bulletproof cover is screwed on and the robot is A sealed unit is sent in and sprayed with environmentally friendly camouflage anti-corrosion paint that is consistent with the surrounding environment, and then it is shipped out.
The robot automatically started the entire system and slowly stood up in front of Li Zhuang, its emotionless eyes emitting a faint red light.
It¡¯s a very beautiful humanoid robot. This was Li Zhuang¡¯s first feeling, but it was a bit cold.
¡°Hello, master, I¡¯ll report to you on the 1st!¡± The robot¡¯s voice was a bit stiff.
An emotionless robot is not qualified to have a formal name, only a codename.
"Activate on your own and test the operating parameters!" Li Zhuang's voice did not contain any emotion.
¡°Yes!¡± the robot replied immediately.
Li Zhuang watched the robot walking back and forth between the 16th and 15th floors, performing various actions. The balance system was excellent, there were no faults, the movement was very smooth, and the fierce tactical movements were also smooth. Various precision hydraulics Components work fine.
The data obtained by Big Speaker from all over the world are very reliable, and the research of the intelligent production laboratory robot project team is also very effective, which is proved right before our eyes.
"Continue to make the remaining three robots."
Li Zhuang is not really passionate about humanoid machines. He is not Japanese and loves Gundam to death. The reason why he made these four robots was mainly because of the environment of this building.
Making different robots according to different uses is his real idea. In the following time, he produced a large number of crawler-type cargo robots with high-power manipulators, installation robots, maintenance robots, and processing robots. However, the batteries and casings were the company's practical research results and were too expensive for him to use. Four Gundam models were already a bit outrageous, and they were all paid for from his own personal pockets.
After all the robots were completed, they immediately began to install the monitoring and laser defense facilities on the 11th to 19th floors under the command of the loudspeaker. At the same time, the entire internal space structure was divided, fire ducts were installed, and the access channels were adjusted. The robot's construction accuracy and speed are unmatched by humans. The only problem it lacks is its inflexibility, which was successfully solved by the commander Da Xiaoxiao.
Li Zhuang looked at dozens of robots and felt a sense of accomplishment. Two years ago, when Xiao Xiaoxiao was randomly making garbage robots, he came up with the idea of ????creating an army of robots. However, his level in this area was too low, so he had to wait. The ultra-precision optical and infrared detection system completed in the Basic Physics Laboratory and the ultra-precision manipulator completed in the Precision Processing Laboratory are important components of the robot project. The balance system was passed over from the Japanese and then upgraded, which is indeed outstanding.
Ren Mingmei didn¡¯t know that Li Zhuang had the idea of ??making robots. Even if she knew, she probably wouldn¡¯t think it was a big deal. Robots are everywhere, but the robots in Li Zhuang's mind are different. Common exam-type robots have no meaning. What he wants to do is something valuable. This is a matter of principle.
Li Zhuang had no idea how long it would take to construct and lay out the wiring on the nine-story building. He did not study architecture and had never designed a similar model before, so he could not estimate the progress.
"Big speaker, let me know when the construction is completed."
"Yes, father, do you want to continue assembling the new modules? I still have enough energy to deal with it." Big Speaker asked.
¡°Then continue to install it, the test must be strict.¡± Li Zhuang pondered for a moment and decided to let the loudspeaker continue its previous work. He knows that robot construction is very orderly and precise, unlike humans, who are very random.
Someone who was lazy to finish the work Shi Shiran left, leaving the Xiaoxiao family struggling hard. The big speaker is doing hard work for him, the small speaker is his eyes and ears, the small speaker is making money for him, and the four speakers are helping him with research, although it is only auxiliary.
On the eighth day of work, the company's management met and determined the work goals and direction for the new year. Energy and motivation are still the main focus. This area directly involves people's lives and there is a lot of oil and water.
After the discussion, Li Zhuang was about to go back for dinner when he was pulled back by Zhou Qisen, "IBM has released an intelligent brain. I estimate it will be successful within the next year. Why don't you make preparations? This area is very profitable, and there is also an intelligent production laboratory that may"If you encounter trouble, you have to do a good job as an employee, especially the computer project team. "
"I'm getting ready. It's okay. Don't worry. Why are you looking at me? Is there something wrong with my face?" Li Zhuang asked.
"Is the smart brain fun? Can you develop it into a functional version and let me see it?" Ren Mingmei asked.
"Halo, it's fun, but a little scary. If it succeeds, I will let the management visit it. You don't have to worry, but you have to be tight-lipped." Li Zhuang was still ambiguous.
Everyone watched as he opened the door to the conference room and began to discuss. Li Zhuang couldn't help but laugh at the bunch of layman's words. He shook his head and left quickly.
Every other line is like a mountain!
In the cafeteria, Li Zhuang was harassed by Liang Can again, "A Zhuang, I just read the news and said that the Japanese established a joint artificial intelligence laboratory in Tokyo. Have you heard about it?"
"Really? I'll look online after dinner." Li Zhuang ignored Liang Can's nagging, quickly finished his meal, and then returned to the office.
The news about the Tokyo Joint Artificial Intelligence Laboratory became the headline on the portal website. Li Zhuang glanced at it hastily. It was boring and it was still some old-fashioned words, but the declaration of the Beijing Academy of Sciences caught his attention.
¡°We must mobilize the whole country and allocate capable forces to study artificial neural networks, and we must not fall behind the times.¡±
Li Zhuang smiled disdainfully. Citigroup had been using its intelligent flight system for many years before China thought of doing this. Usually there are just three or two kittens working on this, and the funds are insufficient, so they think about using software to make up for it all day long. Some academicians are excellent but cannot get funding. Just look at the speaker stage and you will know that this cutting-edge thing costs a lot of money, but there is no guarantee of success. When the research on smart phones was in full swing, the Chinese people rationally chose to give up when they saw that it had no effect. But when did Citigroup give up? Continuous research for decades!
Intelligent production laboratories usually hold meetings on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. This is a habit and may be due to some superstition of Li Zhuang. As soon as Li Zhuang returned to the office after the meeting, he received a notification from the loudspeaker, "Father, the decoration has been completed!"
When Li Zhuang climbed up the spiral staircase surrounding the hexagonal building to the sixteenth floor, he was a little shocked at the speed and perfection of the construction. Everything here has been adjusted. If the adjustment of the space and stairs were not designed by him personally, he would almost be lost. It is estimated that the team from the Provincial Architectural Design Institute that designed this building would not be able to successfully climb to the fourteenth floor.
This has become a fortress-like building. The interior decoration alone cost nearly 100 million US dollars. It is simple and unpretentious. The load-bearing beams that cost a lot of money to build have now shown their solidity.
"Welcome father to inspect!" When the automatic door opened, hundreds of robots of various types were neatly arranged near the exit of the laser channel, and the loudspeaker family's welcome came from the loudspeaker.
"Hazy, where did you learn the big speakers?!" Li Zhuang shook his head, walked to a small independent room next to the assembly workshop on the 16th floor, and began to prepare for the manufacturing of the super loudspeakers.
Atomic bombs can be upgraded by increasing the charge. When Li Zhuang designed the loudspeaker, the first thing he thought of was modular design. This is why he worked so hard to develop VAI. It is easy to upgrade and requires small software changes.
The design idea of ??the main module of the super large speaker is the same as that of the speaker stage. It is just a linearly amplified version of the number of components. The software architecture has also been adjusted accordingly, but there is no essential change.
The large speaker's manipulator and auxiliary robot are waiting for instructions. Following Li Zhuang's "start" command, the complex super large speaker began to gradually take shape in the transparent and ultra-clean assembly workshop. When it came to testing and assembling the main module and key modules, Li Zhuangcai carefully tested it with his own hands. There were no problems with the hardware logic, which showed that the design of the artificial neural network computer test platform was very successful and perfectly simulated the actual working conditions.
Assembly and software testing are proceeding step by step, and it only took Li Zhuang one month to complete all the work. The cultivation process didn't take long, it only took half a month, and by the end of March the super loudspeaker started to operate. However, after self-testing, he was disappointed. There was no qualitative improvement. What does this mean?
The hardware cost of a large speaker is calculated as 50 million, and the super large speaker is nearly 160 million, but there is only a 10% improvement. In addition to being faster, the improvement in intelligence is extremely limited. Speaker level Li Zhuangding's level is 6.1, and the super large speaker is not even 6.2, not the minimum 6.3 he expected.
In terms of speed, Li Zhuang does not attach much importance to it. He can increase the speaker-level computing speed by plugging in a computing server. A 10 million server is enough to match the performance improvement of super large speaker computing. Intelligence is the most important thing. Only by being smart can you make better use of tools. No matter how fast a leopard is, it can't outrun a sports car driven by humans.
"It doesn't mean you are smart just because you have a big brain. Einstein's brain is not heavy." Now it seems that the realization of high intelligence requires more than the necessary number of artificial neurons.?? and hardware system architecture also rely on software algorithms and data structures.
When the super loudspeaker's conjecture failed, Li Zhuang humiliated him and named him five loudspeakers, and assigned him the task of managing the fund collection plan and diverting funds for four loudspeakers. With the development of the company, the four speakers have become somewhat difficult. The four speakers are used more and more time in the laboratory, and the large speakers have to be equipped with artificial neuron modules and assist Li Zhuang in research. The task is very heavy, and Li Zhuang does not want him to die from overwork.
After returning to the office, Li Zhuang continued to think about the design plan of the V-class. He is now focused on this and does not care about anything else except teaching students.
The contemplation did not last long before he was interrupted by a knock on the door. Zhou Qisen opened the door and came in to say that the capital had decided to pay him a visit tomorrow.
