Volume 2 Strange Place Chapter 60 WAI

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although there are many AI laboratories around the world, few companies dare to add AI to their trademarks.  mai has always been the laughingstock of the industry, and I didn¡¯t expect that well-known companies would dare to follow it.

    Among the three major subsidiaries of United Technologies Corporation, the equipment services group wlfs has the strongest strength and ranks among the top three in the industry.  Energy group WLES has the highest revenue and top-notch product quality, and no one can find fault with it.  Compared with its two famous brothers, wlcs is much inferior.

    The technical support of wlcs is that wlpai and Wesson Technology's computer project teams are not top-notch, and their engineering capabilities can barely reach f5, while there are not a few companies with f-level engineering capabilities.  Good companies like Google don't learn and insist on following the thick-skinned MS, so some people write articles on the Internet to ridicule them.

    Jonathan, the president of wlcs, complained to Da Mian, and Da Mian complained to Li Zhuang. The instigator disagreed, "How can Google be compared with us? They are not the same type of company. It doesn't matter if someone remembers it. I can make those people in one month."  Shut up."

    Da Mian expressed doubts, "Is it possible? The project list you wrote is very complicated."

    Li Zhuang laughed loudly, "Don't worry, I will do what I say. It doesn't matter if you make a noise first to build your reputation."

    As soon as they settled their father-in-law, Miao Xingyan and Cen Qishi came to the door again, "Azhuang, we can't understand your project list. We have no clue."

    Li Zhuang pondered for a moment, "Ask the researchers from the wai101 project team to go to the large conference room on the ninth floor, and I will teach you."

    After Miao Cen and Miao Cen left, Li Zhuang lit up a cigarette and started to circle. It was not only the wai101 project team that needed to be trained, but also the trainees sent by Beijing.  Jinshi moved quickly and sent a group of people over after the Lantern Festival.  It is really a headache to have to consider the effect and keep the secret at the same time.  He thought about it for a day, and finally decided to focus on basic teaching and let them understand it on their own.  The teaching plan mainly includes seven courses including computational mathematics, computer language, algorithm, data structure, system architecture, thinking, and neurology. The core content is biased towards the now popular ann computer.

    The qualifications of the students in Beijing are quite high, but most of them don¡¯t know much about AI. The researchers with higher levels of AI in China are all in Baihe and the Institute of Automation of the Academy of Sciences, and these people are all rookies.

    Shopping malls are like battlefields, and idealism has its limits. The other party cleverly took advantage of the scruples and nationalistic sentiments here, slowing down the research and development progress of wai101, and also affecting the internal training of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. I don¡¯t know who it is.  idea.  Jin Shi attended the class with great interest on the first day. He finally made it to the end of get out of class, then left in despair, vowing never to come to class again, which meant that he was only training managers.

    "Forget it, what do I want to do? From now on, we will do things the same way we do today. It will not be internal or technical. We are a commercial enterprise and we must support ourselves."

    Li Zhuang put out his cigarette butts, chased away all the boredom, and went down to the ninth floor to give lectures to the project team employees.

    The internal training progress is faster than that of students in Beijing. After all, the employees have been attending lectures before.  Different from the previous foundation, the training on the ninth floor directly involves technology, including partial knowledge of system architecture.  The wai101 project team began normal operations in mid-March.

    There are people doing coolies, and Li Zhuang is much more relaxed. He often walks in the park. He is a little surprised why there is no power outage and the roar of the high-power diesel generator set is not heard.  Domestic power problems have always been serious. Weisen Science and Technology Park is a key unit and rarely has power outages. However, considering safety and the operation of precision instruments and equipment, the company purchased a large diesel generator set and designed and built a diesel filter to improve  Regarding oil quality, the original small electromagnetic filter device is just a helpless transitional measure.  I met He Xiuwen at lunch and asked specifically.

    "Bookworm" was speechless, "We now have a fuel cell power plant, so we don't have to worry about running out of power. Even if the power grid cuts off the supply, the internal circuits can still meet the requirements."

    Li Zhuang was surprised, "Are we so powerful now?"

    He Xiuwen said proudly, "The fuel cell project team is full of elites. Just one power plant is not a problem. If it weren't for policy restrictions, we would have driven away the power grid. I'm done eating. You can go back and read the information."

    After "Bookworm" finished speaking, he whizzed away with his men. Li Zhuang finished his meal angrily and returned to the office to log in to the ERP system.

    When the company was founded, there were not many researchers in the New Energy Laboratory, but there were many research projects. We had no choice but to focus on electric vehicles.  He Xiuwen has a wide range of knowledge and has researched in the field of power supply, but he is best at lithium batteries.

    Although fuel cells have many problems when used in automobiles, they are very promising in the field of industrial power generation.  The power generation efficiency is higher than that of power plants, but the investment is large, there are many problems with connecting to the grid, the power generation is not enough, and the management amount is not small.  Frequency conversion and price management are not simple. The former has high technical requirements and the latter has serious profit issues.

    The New Energy Laboratory has been recruiting employees who have research on fuel cells, but this is only the case in China.level is not high enough.  Zhang Kai mobilized researchers to find a group abroad, and even Yamamoto also brought over a few friends from Japan.  The leader of the project team is a Chinese, an outstanding figure who came out of the Academy of Sciences. Like Wu Wg, he is also a rare double doctor.

    The fuel cell project team mainly promotes solid oxide fuel cells, with an energy conversion efficiency of about 65%. It is a super big guy.  The power station was built on the edge of the industrial zone and was jointly funded by the laboratory and industrial zone business owners. The municipal government also allocated funds to jointly establish an industrial zone power station company.

    The city government¡¯s attitude towards this project was critical, and the relevant departments had a feud with the power grid. The subsequent dispute over concentrated solar cells was just a trigger.  First, civilian electricity was removed, and then industrial electricity was removed. Even the power supply to government buildings was not supported. The power grid took relatively drastic measures out of anger from the person in charge of K City, which was of course the result of support from the upper levels.

    Industrial zone power station companies mainly use coal gas and natural gas as fuel, and sometimes hydrogen.  The hydrogen production and storage project team built a large-scale concentrated solar energy device on a hill near K City to conduct research. The industrial zone power station company took a fancy to the by-products of their research and bought them to generate electricity.

    The power transmission and distribution project team developed a perfect sine wave DC-AC inverter for the fuel cell project to ensure the stability of the factory equipment.  Industrial electricity can be handled well, and there is no need to worry about civilian electricity. K City is now a testing ground for Wesson Technology's high-end civilian products.

    ¡­

    Li Zhuang was very happy after understanding the whole story, and his mood during class also improved a lot. The students were a little surprised by his lively chatting and laughing.

    The seemingly good training fee is not at the same level as the potential income of the project being developed. The wai101 project team worked overtime day and night to improve the system.

    The wai101 under design is a compact integrated pseudo-intelligent brain with 100,000 neuron modules, and its performance is not inferior to the E4-level intelligent brain launched by IBM.  tai-e4 is the first publicly available 100,000-level intelligent brain on the market. Its workmanship and stability are as good as other IBM products, and its energy consumption is very low.  The reason why IBM did this is very simple, but everyone knows that it is their helpless trick to recruit talents and show the world that "I am still very powerful".  In any case, the tai-e4 series has been very popular since its launch, and its sales volume is greater than that of the hsai-e5, even though the latter has better performance.  Reputation is very important. The tai-e4 series has not been ranked first since its launch. The early launch of Dreamer has both gains and losses.

    The Intelligent Brain Laboratory focuses on how to improve compactness and develop more efficient software systems. The intelligent production laboratory is responsible for the interface module with the von Neumann system.  The internal division of labor is that the Intelligent Brain Laboratory improves the structure and software, the Intelligent Production Laboratory, Smart Home Laboratory and Basic Physics Laboratory are responsible for subsystems, and Wesson Installation Company is responsible for installation, forming a complete chain.

    Among the subsystems, the most difficult one to solve is the translation expert system.  The machine translation project team has been planning an intelligent translation system since its establishment, and has established cooperative relationships with foreign language schools and language institutes in many universities.  Lizhuang attaches great importance to speech recognition and machine translation, and has allocated more than 200 million to relevant project teams.  The research and development of intelligent translation systems and speech recognition systems has begun since the company was founded. The intelligent translation project team has hired more than 300 linguists, including many famous translators, and other professionals to focus on improving the software and hardware internally.  .  Pure software translation has flaws, and the combination of software and hardware is the way to go.  With a sufficient database, a smart enough translation engine, enough complete details, and Vicky's optimization, ordinary translation is not a problem at all.

    On April 5, Wesson Technology announced that it will officially launch the wai101 comprehensive system on April 12, with intelligence level e5. The price is the same as other institutions, which is US$100 million.  This smart brain has two main uses. The first is a smart housekeeper, which cooperates with various solutions launched by Wesson Technology¡¯s smart home laboratory, including security; the second is intelligent design and production, which cooperates with different industry designs launched by the smart production laboratory.  and manufacturing expert systems.

    As soon as the news came out, the market was in an uproar, and people from all walks of life rushed to K City.  After learning the details, comments on the Internet never stopped, but most of them were hydrological criticisms, because wai101 is somewhat different from commercially available smart brains.  Weisen Technology officially calls it wai101 comprehensive system instead of wai101. Ordinary people ignore the difference between the two terms.

    No matter what, those who are interested will naturally be interested. Ordinary people cannot afford this kind of thing.  Deng Ming didn't pay attention and sent invitations to the rich one by one.  The president's office contacted the heads of support units, including some heavyweight experts and professors.

    On April 12, Wesson Technology officially held a market press conference in the newly built exhibition center in the park. The exhibition center, which can accommodate thousands of people, was full of people.

    At nine o'clock sharp, Miao Xingyan and Deng Ming pressed the button, and the mysterious thing that had been covered was revealed, and the scene was filled with exclamations.

    ?? wai101 is very beautiful and magnificent, only the size of a desk, which fully demonstrates the progress of IT manufacturing technology in recent years.

    Conducted by Miao XingyanThrough field testing, wai101's intelligence level, operating speed, stability and compactness are all higher than similar products. The system used together is even more jaw-dropping, extremely thoughtful, easy to use and easy to maintain.

    The translation expert system provides translation into 11 mainstream languages ??including Chinese, English, French, Japanese, German, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and Indian.  An industry-enhanced version is provided, and the Chinese language also has a dialect system, which is enough for wealthy people with low educational levels to easily communicate with customers from different countries and regions.

    Energy expert system, including energy storage center, micro fuel cell power station, mcsb battery pack, DC AC frequency conversion system, etc.

    ??Security expert systems, in addition to common closed-circuit surveillance systems, also include photoelectronic access control systems and automatic laser systems.

    The entertainment expert system and the learning expert system are two-sided in one, with complete settings, making it convenient for parents to regulate their children's learning and entertainment time, and can effectively protect eyesight.

    ??The medical expert system can perform basic physical examinations and remote diagnosis, and is connected to Wesson Technology Medical Service Center and medical laboratories.

    Miao Xingyan demonstrated the functions one by one, and the audience's mouths opened wider and wider.  Such high-tech products have been integrated together, which is unprecedented, and coupled with the second purchase discount, it is very tempting.  With a top-end wai101 smart home system in hand, you can live comfortably even in remote villas without power supply networks.

    After Miao Xingyan¡¯s demonstration, the attendees were asked to nominate experiencers to take the stage.  The scene immediately became lively, and everyone refused to give in. In the end, they had to draw lots. The lucky person walked out of the crowd with a proud face and began to enjoy.

    After the press conference, the wealthy people went to the business department to negotiate.  Li Zhuang accompanied experts and professors for a walk in the park. They are indispensable for the improvement of wai101 smart home comprehensive solution to this extent.

    As everyone walked and chatted, the topic naturally shifted to the intelligent translation system, and many people sighed.

    "Xiao Li, how much did you spend on this system?" an old man asked.

    Li Zhuang took a closer look and saw that it was Professor Wu Mingtao, a famous translator working at H University. He quickly responded, "About 300 million. What do you think?"

    Professor Wu sighed, "When I helped you with your research, I never thought it would reach such a high level. Maybe my students will soon have nothing to eat."

    Li Zhuang was a little dizzy, "This system is expensive to build, and a handheld translator simply cannot reach this level."

    Professor Wu stroked his beard and said, "That's true, but the dialect system and industry-enhanced version you made are too insidious. They are probably specifically targeted at the nouveau riche."

    Li Zhuang laughed, and Professor Wu said seriously: "Xiao Li, wai101 can sell at least hundreds of units. The future sales of the translation expert system are difficult to estimate. I hope you will set up language scholarships in various universities to encourage students to improve their standards. IT Development  Quickly, if they don¡¯t work hard, it will be really hard to find food in the future.¡±

    Li Zhuang nodded repeatedly, "I will use 5% of the sales to set up scholarships in various universities, don't worry."

    Old man Wu smiled and said, "You can teach children."

    Li Zhuang instantly thought of Old Man Zou and felt dizzy. Top masters seemed to have similar problems.

    "Let's go back, Xiao Li is busy, don't delay his work." Old man Wu raised his voice to greet his companions.

    ??Everyone said yes, got on the electric car in the park and left.  Li Zhuang returned to the office. As soon as he sat down, the phone rang.

    "Brother Zhuang, I'm so happy. This time it's a real big joy. We sold 20 units in one go, mainly smart home systems. Smart production systems are under negotiation. We are strong in the field of automation. No need to doubt it. The sales volume is estimated to be amazing.  .¡±

    Ade¡¯s voice was so excited that his voice was deformed. Li Zhuang laughed, ¡°Sell as many as you have, delivery is not a problem.¡±

    Xia Yuande said: "I estimate that it is entirely possible to sell two hundred sets. You are waiting for my good news."

    Li Zhuang hung up the phone, touched his chin, and said to himself, "I should be able to sell three hundred sets."

    The system architect was clueless, and everyone else was even more clueless. A week later, Wesson Technology went crazy.  In one week, only one week, we received fifty sets of orders, more than the total number of private orders in the past two years, and more orders followed.

    A steady stream of components, spare parts and accessories were sent from the basement of the Hexagonal Building to the warehouse on the eleventh floor through a special elevator. Another large unmanned elevator sent the produced wai101 to the special warehouse in the basement. Twenty core employees of the security department  Four hours of preparation.  Many auxiliary factories were brightly lit day and night, and Wesson Automation, which was already busy, suddenly fell into delivery delays.

    Customer representatives all arrived early, waiting to meet their little babies and develop relationships.  Wesson Technology SpecialIt shows that the three principles of robots are unreliable and can only be set to one master. Therefore, the competition within each family has become fierce. Everyone knows that once the certification is completed, wai101 will be their most trustworthy subordinate.

    The housekeeper system launched by the Smart Home Laboratory has rich elements, including weapons-grade bulletproof high-power lasers and closed-circuit surveillance systems.  Wesson Technology had to go through a lot of ups and downs before reluctantly passing it, using some tricks. It only said that it had a laser, but did not say that it was a weapons-grade laser system.  Domestic leaders are no strangers to lasers, but they don't know much about the extent of Wesson Technology's laser development and don't take it seriously.

    Wesen Technology was fully prepared and delivered the first batch of wai101 smart home systems within three days. Customers were full of praise and orders increased rapidly.  Bai's products are almost unsaleable. Even if they bite the bullet and cut the price by 20%, they will only be a fraction of wai101's sales.  Not to mention other suppliers, due to entry restrictions, tariffs and high prices, their sales in the Chinese market are only in single digits.  As soon as wai101 came out, there were no potential orders.

    At this point, all countries in the world know that a powerful new force has joined the artificial intelligence community, and its code name is wai.

    The atmosphere in the country was instantly ignited. As the director of the Wesson Technology Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, Li Zhuang¡¯s name became known to the AI ??industry for the first time. His background was quickly uncovered by the all-pervasive media, and was serialized in newspapers and the Internet, becoming a  celebrity.

    The Australian Ambassador to China came to visit and took photos with the management, bringing Canberra's care and greetings.

    More than 400 units were sold abroad, all of which were transferred to Super Manor¡¯s account through offshore company transactions.  What surprised Li Zhuang was that it was so popular in China, including the later wai201, that he received orders for more than a thousand sets, including the top-end version with a price of up to 200 million U.S. dollars. The tax paid by the company's automatic tax system made k  The leader of the city's tax department almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and later even invited the company's management to dinner.

    With such good sales, there is no need to urge subordinates to work overtime. The entire system works together, and Li Zhuang's life is very comfortable.  The construction of super estates is accelerating, La Grange¡¯s dedicated pier has been massively expanded, and environmental protection has been done well.  Most local people are employed by super estates and become company employees.  The steel plant is progressing smoothly, precision equipment imported from Germany and Japan is flooding into the dedicated terminal, and a giant airport that can take off and land A380 passenger planes is under construction.  Clean coal-fired power plants, concentrated solar power plants and seawater desalination systems have been expanded three or four times to include all drinking water and electricity supplies for surrounding residents and indigenous people. Some of the fresh water is even sent to Port Hedland through pipelines.

    At the end of April, Wesson Technology held a month-end summary.  The supervisors all had red faces. The only sober guy patted his butt and was about to leave after the meeting, but Wang Mei stopped him.

    "Zhuang, I, I"

    Li Zhuang was very surprised, "What am I talking about?"

    Wang Mei suddenly said, "I want to buy a plane."

    "Sister Mei"'s voice was a little loud, which attracted the crowd's attention.  Zhou Qisen immediately expressed his support, "Now you can buy a business jet."

    Among the supporters, Li Zhuang snorted, "Why don't you go build another airport?"

    The supervisors giggled together, watched the legal representative who was not stunned leave, and then began to discuss when K City Airport would be approved.

    Everything goes well, it¡¯s time to close the net.  On May 1, Li Zhuang and Zhang Kai took the personnel of the Human Resources Department and the bodyguards selected by the Security Department and boarded the transportation to Citigroup.
