Volume 2: Weird Place Chapter 53: Smartphone Craze

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Citi is the country most enthusiastic about smartphone research. Many government-affiliated agencies and large companies are engaged in AI research.  IBM is a veteran powerhouse in the IT industry. They were very ambitious and wanted to use their first-mover advantage to unify the ann standard with company standards, but unfortunately they failed.

    After the dreamer accidentally went crazy, not to mention the financial losses, IBM is strong, not to mention more than one billion U.S. dollars, even ten billion U.S. dollars will not be afraid, the trouble lies with the researchers.

    The old project team has been working hard on the dreamer for many years. For scientific researchers, it is about to go down in history but suddenly falls from heaven. The huge psychological gap has caused many researchers to have some mental problems.  IBM headquarters had to disband the old project team and redeploy capable personnel to form a new project team.

    Although there was a problem with IBM's display, the possibility of using Ann to achieve strong AI was raised to the highest level, and the competition among relevant researchers became extremely fierce.

    IBM headquarters is immersed in sadness. If it wasn't for the desire to be number one, and if it was too greedy, then after two more years of testing, all the problems would be solved. Now that we are starting over, there is no way to compete.  Just when the management was complaining about themselves, the scientists and engineers who were transferred to the new project team left one after another for various reasons. They would rather pay huge liquidated damages to leave at an extremely fast speed.  IBM's senior researchers are paid very well, which is the fundamental reason why this company has always maintained the top level in the industry.  These researchers who had squeezed in back then waved away without any hesitation this time, either returning to their countries or switching to other companies.  Before the human resources director of the headquarters could react, most of the researchers with AI expertise in the subordinate laboratories had dispersed, and the rest were still applying for resignation.

    The angry new president of IBM initiated a lawsuit unprecedented in the history of the IT industry, but still could not restore the progress disadvantage in the research.

    This matter made a big fuss in May. In addition to his busy work, Li Zhuang often checked the progress online, thinking that this was the consequence of being the first.  If you succeed, others will want to poach you.  If you fail, others will dig deeper because it is easier to dig.

    The media relies on gossip and inquires about relevant information carefully.  Among the researchers who left IBM this time, some were poached by competitors, and most returned to their respective countries.  Citi is a country of immigrants with a good scientific research atmosphere. Many talents from other countries are doing research in Citi.  China has received a large number of people who have returned from studying abroad this time. Senior officials who have become very wealthy but are unwilling to spend on scientific research claimed in a well-known official media that they would invest a huge amount of 300 billion Chinese yuan, equivalent to about 50 billion U.S. dollars.  Conduct research on smart machines.

    This is a hornet's nest. If someone takes the lead in playing cards, there will be others who dare to take the initiative. Japan immediately claimed to invest 100 billion US dollars.  The reconstruction work of the major earthquake and the aftermath of the nuclear leakage are still going on, and the government funds are relatively tight. However, the Japanese people have strong cohesion. Many wealthy people and big families have expressed their willingness to bear the costs for the government, and the people have shown the same momentum as they did in the past to build ships.  They actively donated money and received donations equivalent to nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars.

    Therefore, the government has taken the lead in asking various companies to mobilize capable personnel to form a large-scale joint artificial intelligence laboratory. All fund management is transparent, and it is regularly announced in newspapers to let citizens who donate know the purpose.  Although there are still some petty tricks, everyone is watching. Those politicians who usually like to put up arches and the financial groups who let others struggle for their own enjoyment do not dare to play big tricks this time, not to mention that everyone knows that it is a major event related to the future and destiny of the nation.  Work hard.  Even an heir to the Sumitomo Foundation gave up the MBA degree he was studying to devote himself to computer research, which he was very good at.

    This is the first government-led and specially established smartphone research institution. It was established as early as early February this year.

    The Japanese have always been fanatical. Although the domestic media has been reporting that the new generation of Japanese are much worse mentally than the old people, Li Zhuang is still very sober.  There will be no fundamental changes under the influence of the general environment. You can understand this by looking at the technological research and development progress of Japanese companies.

    The Japanese are very stubborn and sometimes shameless, but this cannot change the prosperity of the country brought about by their persistence, diligence and passion for technology.  It is easy to defeat Japan, but it is impossible to achieve it in the short term unless the entire domestic atmosphere is reformed.

    Other countries have also invested huge sums of money in research. Even the Citizen government was interested in taking the lead, but was rejected by various companies. They were strong enough and unwilling to share with others.  Any system has flaws, and Citigroup is no exception. Perfection is just an ideal.

    The huge investment has brought about a shortage of talents. There are many talented people, but few are proficient in software and hardware.  Li Zhuang is not the only smart person in the world. Many scientists have realized from IBM's failure that teamwork that is both proficient in software and hardware is the most important, and they have reported to their superiors.  The government attaches great importance to this aspect and has become the current consensus.

    The shortage of talents cannot be solved for the time being. In desperation, various research institutions have no choice but to try their best to select suitable people with strong understanding ability to form teams.?¡¯s talents.  Wesson Technology was forcibly poached in April. It was a last resort when the Beijing Artificial Intelligence Laboratory found that it could not find better talents, although it was easily taken advantage of.

    ??Basically no one leaves WLPAI, because the salary of this laboratory has always been very high, and the local people in Perth are very strict about it, and they treat people with emotion and reason.  However, WLPAI did not accept AI researchers from IBM. The reason is very simple. There are very few researchers who really understand the Dreamer architecture.  CIA, FBI and NSA are strictly guarding against the leakage of powerful AI researchers.

    The more you hide it, the more curious it becomes. The desire for big and small forces to peep into the dreamer's secrets is rising infinitely. Citigroup's three major intelligence agencies suddenly feel under great pressure and have to temporarily use backup personnel.  There is competition for talent in front of the stage, and competition behind the stage, and the whole world is in chaos.

    The weather in May is a bit hot, and it is said to be due to the greenhouse effect. No matter what, at least United Technologies MCSB¡¯s sales have increased significantly.  Da Mian was grinning from ear to ear. The scale of the factory was continuously expanded. In addition to supplying the needs of super estates, all other products were exported, with Europe purchasing the largest amount.  In China, because Wesson Technology promotes home energy combination solutions everywhere, many new villas are equipped with such high-end products, and the industrial group has made a lot of money as a result.  Encouraged by generous dividends, the New Energy Laboratory has strengthened related research, and the theoretical research project team is progressing smoothly under the leadership of Yamamoto.

    On May 1st, Wesson Technology had a day off, but due to lack of manpower, there were basically no researchers on vacation, especially for the CSPP project team of the New Energy Laboratory Concentrated Solar Power Plant.  He Xiuwen is now completely obsessed with this stuff, and he is recruiting relevant researchers one after another, preparing to thoroughly understand CSPP.  MCSB cannot significantly reduce costs in the short term. After all, lenses and silicon materials are outsourced, and partners need a share of the pie. Full implementation will take enough time, and Super Manor cannot afford to wait.

    The Intelligent Production Laboratory and Basic Physics Laboratory suffered heavy losses in April, and R&D orders could not be completed for a while. Li Zhuang had to help researchers share some tasks, and the 80-person team came in handy.  The teacher still does the structure, the disciples practice their skills and earn some income on the way, and the loudspeaker perfects the details, but there is a tacit understanding.

    When dinner time came, the young people happily followed the teacher to the cafeteria to eat. They are now semi-intern employees, but some have been classified as reserve echelons and will go directly to the capital for research after graduation.  There were quite a few complaints from the company's employees, and most of them treated him lightly for the sake of the legal representative's face and the good relationship they had had in the past.  A small number of people don't take it seriously, thinking that it is a waste of time to let a group of semi-finished products practice in the company, and then deliver them to forces that they can't deal with. Someone is simply out of his mind, and no one appreciates the good deeds he has done. Idealism  It is truly unprecedented for a person to do this.

    Li Zhuang didn¡¯t want to give up halfway. Every time he saw He Xiuwen, he always took the initiative to speak, and this time was no exception.

    "Yamamoto is really a talented person, not the kind who just studies."

    He Xiuwen didn't even raise his head, staring at the steak on the dinner plate, "Yes, there are very few such people. I feel ashamed. Fortunately, I am smarter than him in other aspects."

    "Bookworm" didn't continue after he finished speaking. Li Zhuang wisely stopped chatting and turned to watch TV.  The hot news these days are all about smartphones. Everyone in the company now has some understanding of smartphones, but he is a little tired of looking at the overwhelming smartphone news in newspapers and the Internet.  The ccav news broadcast on the large LCD screen in the restaurant suddenly stopped, and the host said wait a minute. Everyone who was eating felt confused.

    "It's dinner time now. Did you make a mistake? Equipment maintenance must be scheduled well. These guys have no professional ethics."

    After speaking, the national treasure picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and chewed it.  Li Zhuang couldn't bear it anymore, "My hero, please don't make such a loud noise while eating, okay?"

    "Kung Fu Panda" was a little disdainful, "Can you eat bamboo shoots without making a sound? If you can do that, I will never eat bamboo shoots from now on."

    Li Zhuang was annoyed. Guobao liked eating bamboo shoots very much, saying it could clear his stomach. However, he suspected that Guobao felt he was too fat and ate bamboo shoots to lose weight.  No matter what, it is natural for the national treasure to eat bamboo shoots.

    Just as I was thinking about it, the host image on the LCD screen returned to normal and told a shocking news.

    "I just received the news from the Berlin reporter station. Two German scientists who are engaged in advanced research have come up with a mature computer with 300,000 neuron modules, which is equivalent to the IBM standard intelligence level of c1, and has been successfully used in fag's automatic bearing production line, allowing  Production efficiency and quality have been greatly improved.¡±

    "Two scientists claim to have completed the design of a standard ann computer, which can reach up to one million neuron modules, and the intelligence level can reach IBM standard b2. They plan to apply for government funding and venture capital investment. Please wait patiently for follow-up reports.  Taipei Berlin Reporter Station will go to Frankfurt to interview the two scientists."

    As soon as the host finished speaking, there was a buzz in the restaurant, and the national treasure who was eating frowned.The word "Chuan" is missing.

    "National treasure, why are you not interested at all?" He Xiuwen asked.

    "There are specializations in the field, and I never care about things outside of my major. It's boring. Besides, there are people doing research. Sooner or later, I will see the real smart brain."

    After "Panda" finished speaking, he looked at a professional who was looking at him. Li Zhuang smiled and said, "You have more confidence in me than I do in myself."

    "I heard that the 19th floor is relatively high. If you are not sure, I suggest you take a flight from above."

    "Why do you have such a bad mouth? But with a structure like the Hexagonal Building, even if I jumped from the roof, I probably wouldn't be able to fall to my death."

    "It doesn't matter. It's a waste of energy to run to the 19th floor. I have a lot of good stuff in my laboratory. Do you want to try it?"

    Li Zhuang did not answer. This kind of boring bickering was boring. Then he thought of the research in the biological laboratory. They are currently doing a very good job in purifying toxins.  The national treasure planned to raise venomous snakes and ants, but unfortunately everyone opposed it and had to give up because the venomous snake was a Taipan snake he caught from the Australian desert, and the ants were a special species that made people's scalp numb.

    ¡­¡­.

    Li Zhuang works long hours every day. Sophia has made many new friends now and often goes out to play. Lisa and Sunway often come over to accompany him.  Sunway likes his father's office very much because it is very large and has more complete facilities than at home. There are advanced gadgets everywhere. Lisa likes coming here because of the things above the tenth floor.

    Nowadays, the media is so developed and news spreads so fast, it is shocking.  In just three hours, the ancestors of two German scientists were dug up, and related news filled the Internet.  They are twin brothers who look very much alike and have similar personalities. The older brother is Erwin and the younger brother is Badwin. Their surname is Swabian. They are in their early forties and live in Frankfurt.

    The Swabian brothers are both handsome and come from relatively good families. Their father, Swabian Sr., was a small factory owner in the suburbs and earned a lot of money.  Both brothers are top-notch smart people with broad ideas, but they are a bit bad, their ability to make a living is relatively poor, and they are a bit particular about their clothes.  They invested nearly 15 million euros in their research, which depleted the old man's savings.

    Lisa smiled and pointed to the top of her head, "How much did it cost?"

    Li Zhuang was silent for a moment, "If you include related investment in equipment and instruments and help from factories in your circle of relationships, the hardware cost is almost 100 million yuan."

    Lisa was startled, "Where's the software?"

    Li Zhuang sighed, "A R&D engineer of my level can get an annual salary of US$1 million in Citi. With the time and youth spent, it's at least US$150 million. If you start your own company, the opportunity cost is worth discussing."  "

    Lisa chuckled, "I really suspect that I have an Electra plot. You used to look so old, but I like you. I really can't figure it out."

    Li Zhuang giggled, but Lisa did not continue, "The Swabian brothers are quite powerful. I didn't expect there to be so many IT geniuses. I guess if they were rich, they wouldn't show it at all."

    Li Zhuang chuckled, "The completion of rape is an incredible achievement, enough to go down in history. They can't help it. Germany's consumption is higher than China's, and the two brothers have to save some face, so they will definitely have their hands tied. It's not like that.  I have been an ascetic for ten years."

    Lisa has no interface because the news on the wall continues.  As expected, the Swabian brothers¡¯ phone calls were bombarded.  Of course, the fastest movers were the local forces. Berlin immediately took them under its wing, and then drove away all other organizations that wanted to recruit.

    The rest was just gossip, Lisa read it with gusto, and Li Zhuang started to feel dazed.  Research on the brain requires money and technology, but before seeing results, it is wishful thinking for venture capital institutions to invest in such a high-risk frontier field.  How much money did the world spend in the 1980s?  It should be equivalent to US$200 billion now, but who can afford it?  There are many smart people in this world. Although he rarely sees anyone who can compare with him in China, it does not mean that there are no other places in the world.  Chinese people¡¯s thinking is very divergent and their basic research is average.  There is nothing strange about the fact that the Germans were able to develop the ann computer.  Fertility is encouraged, there are many twins, the industrial foundation is solid, and education is developed.

    "What are you thinking about? It's rare to relax." Lisa poked lightly.

    Li Zhuang rolled his eyes, did not refute, and continued to read the gossip news.  The Swabian brothers will be prosperous this time. After all the hardships, the small regrets will be made up for sooner or later. After all, German society is stable.  If their design can really achieve B2 level intelligence, the EU will be able to get rid of the influence of IBM, but according to Hans' style, they may follow the nine-level composite system.  They just look very rigid and have very bright minds.  Don¡¯t look abroad. Domestic German-funded companies are extremely clever and cunning.

    After finally reading the gossip, Lisa became interested and wanted to go to ten places?Floor.  Li Zhuang shook his head, "It's not convenient for Shuangwei here. Children can't hold their tongues."

    The couple picked up their son, who was still playing games, and walked out of the Hexagon Building. Under the night, the K-city industrial zone was brightly lit, and there was the faint sound of machinery.  Wesson Science and Technology Park was still very busy at nine o'clock in the evening, and many researchers were working overtime.

    "You are my arms, I hope we can share the joys and sorrows together, and there will be no tit-for-tat confrontation!"

    Li Zhuang stared at the night in a daze for a while. Since the company became famous, there have been more and more undercover agents, flies of all sizes are watching, and the Human Resources Department and the Internal Affairs Department are struggling to cope.
