I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 990 The light of artificial intelligence, the new form of shimmer!

Even if the "Planet Shield" project is established, it will not be easy to operate smoothly, especially when it involves the coordination of six to seven thousand launch towers. The amount of calculation involved is too large, and it cannot be done by manpower. of.

So Qin Ke came up with the idea of ​​making LV5's Shimmer the core artificial intelligence of the "Planet Shield" project early on.

To achieve this goal, not only must Weiguang continuously optimize the algorithms of related neural networks, but more importantly, during the construction process, a large number of sensors, RFID tags (radio frequency tags), cameras, and GPS must be embedded in various functional components of the launch tower. Only after the sensing terminal can these functional components be integrated into the low-light neural network to achieve automatic detection and automatic control.

This is no easy task. A large number of IoT technologies must be fully considered during the construction of the transmission tower, such as RFID technology (radio frequency identification technology) - a very common sensor technology in the IoT, which can identify targets through radio signals. "Identity", "purpose", "location", "status" and other data information; such as micro-electromechanical system technology (MEMS), which enables each component to become an integrated micro-device, forming a huge perception network...

Internet of Things technology involves all aspects, some are relatively mature, and some are still just on paper. All of them require Qin Ke to lay out in advance the design plan of the "planetary shield" and add relevant requirements to achieve the goal of micro-technology after thousands of launch base towers are completed. Light energy smoothly takes over their management and controls every functional part of them.

Qin Ke's idea caused a lot of controversy.

Among these more than 10,000 scientists, there are not many experts involved in the fields of artificial intelligence and automated control. They know that the current AI technology seems to be developing rapidly, but in fact it is still at a relatively basic application level. Even unmanned autonomous driving technology has Not fully realized.

As for the "planetary shield" design plan that is far from being fully finalized, it can be seen that any launch tower is far more complicated than an electric car.

Under such conditions, it would be impossible to imagine using AI to control thousands of such launch towers to withstand "super giant solar storms".

Said Frick, a well-known automation and industrial control expert, expressed his position tactfully: "Academician Qin, would it be better to consider the actual situation again? After all, it is more difficult to achieve such a goal than to build a launch tower from scratch. .”

Said Frick's words represent the views of dozens of experts. If it weren't for Qin Ke's high prestige, there would certainly be many people who would express clear opposition.

He knows very well that even though the company's technology is relatively advanced in the country, robots involve many disciplines such as cybernetics, mechatronics, computers, materials, and bionics. If he wants to achieve the goal of being a robot teacher in mountainous areas, he must at least make more progress. More than ten or twenty years of research and development time have been invested.

To this end, Qin Ke asked Zhou Shutao, CEO of Qing Ning Technology, to contact Xu Guanxiong, Sun Bingfei's second-generation rich man and deputy general manager of Els Company. Qing Ning Technology injected capital to establish a joint venture R&D company with Els Company. The company specializes in the research and development of intelligent robot applications. (For this part of the story, if readers have forgotten, please read back to Chapter 638)

Els Intelligent Automation Technology Co., Ltd. is the largest listed company in China engaged in industrial intelligence and robot research and development, and its technical strength is quite strong in the country.

It was just that he was too busy in the past six months and couldn't spare much time to optimize this advanced automatic control algorithm. He could only rely on Xiaoguang's own learning mechanism and slowly upgrade himself through exploration.

Qin Ke naturally knew the concerns of these experts. He had also hesitated, but what he hesitated was, should super artificial intelligence like Shiguang appear in front of everyone?

But considering that Shimmer's intervention could at least increase the success probability of the "Planet Shield" plan by 30%, Qin Ke decided to stick to his point of view.

If you want to convince many experts, you must have tangible evidence to at least let them see a greater possibility of success within four years.

As Qin Ke's reputation grew and he became one of the world's top scientists, Els also became a "Qin Ke concept stock" because of this joint venture technology subsidiary. The stock price soared. In just a short period of time, It has increased twenty-fold in a few years and has become a veritable bull stock.

It wasn't until the end of November last year that Qin Ke successfully upgraded Weiguang to LV11, and then he accidentally remembered this company. After taking a closer look at the latest report, he found that it had made great progress in the basic field of intelligent applications. We provide mechanical automation components, high-precision sensor components, and micromotor control components to many major international manufacturers.

To this end, Qin Ke also took the time on the flight to Sweden to write an advanced automated control algorithm and implant it into Weiguang, so that Weiguang could try to integrate sensor technology, micro-electromechanical system technology, and robot body. Really play the role of artificial intelligence as the center of automated control neural networks.

Fortunately, Qin Ke happened to be prepared for this.

Out of gratitude to Qin Ke, Xu Guanxiong personally took charge of the company called "Ling Ning Els United Technology R&D Company" and also recruited several highly skilled and experienced engineers from the head office to start intelligent applications. Research.

Xu Guanxiong is a typical rich second generation, because the chairman of Ayers Company is his father, which gives him extremely strong resource mobilization ability. Moreover, he is also a top student who graduated from Stanford University majoring in automation, and has a very high technical foundation. Definitely not an embroidered pillow.

Qin Ke contacted Xu Guanxiong on the phone and asked him to arrange for engineers to install Weiguang's "terminal interface program" into the company's server cluster, and then opened an interface for the company's engineers to use, so that they could call Weiguang's "terminal interface program". Part of the computing power resources realize the core functions of "artificial intelligence".

Now, in order to give hope to those experts who lack confidence in artificial intelligence, Qin Ke plans to invest part of his energy in this "Lime Els United Technology R&D Company".

Whether it was due to the need for market value management or to close the relationship with Qin Ke, Els Company decided to strongly support this "Lime Els United Technology R&D Company", and for this reason, it did not hesitate to inject the main robot research and development team into Among them, a large number of domestic first-class experts have been hired with high salaries, and they are determined to build it into the No. 1 technology company in the domestic "intelligent application" technology field.

After later communicating with Qin Ke, Qin Ke said that he would be responsible for artificial intelligence. Xu Guanxiong focused the company's research on the three basic directions of intelligent applications: sensor technology, micro-electromechanical system technology, and robot intelligent manufacturing.

However, Qin Ke has been busy with various researches over the years, and basically has a "free-range" attitude towards this company. At most, he occasionally reads the second half annual report and annual report.

He had already started research work on "robot manufacturing" and "intelligent application" four or five years ago. However, his main purpose at that time was to create intelligent robots to serve as teachers in mountainous areas, so that students in mountainous areas could receive education that was no less than The purpose of equitable education in the city.

Qing Ning Technology, which has deep pockets, is also continuously injecting capital into it. Abundant funds and a strong technical team have enabled "Ling Lemon Els United Technology R&D Company" to develop rapidly. After several years of accumulation, this company now has a large number of original patented technologies.

……

May 5th, which happened to be the weekend, was raining heavily in the suburbs of Beijing, and the temperature was in the teens, which was relatively comfortable.

This is already the twelfth rain in recent months. Thanks to the large number of water storage reservoirs built last year and the year before, it can fully accommodate this abundant rainfall and treat it as a four-month period of high temperature from next month. It is simply the most suitable reserve for fresh water resources in dry weather.

Therefore, the whole country has expressed great tolerance for the continuous spring rain, even if it affects their travel to a certain extent. It was on such a rainy day that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were escorted by Wei Feng and Wei Jing to the "Ling Ning Els United Technology R&D Company" about 20 kilometers away from Qingmu University.

The company had already received the news. Not only Xu Guanxiong had been waiting at the door early, but his father, Xu Licheng, the chairman of Els Company, as well as a group of senior executives, the company's main R&D team leaders and engineers, all came out. welcome.

Xu Licheng was also an engineer, and he had built a career in the business world from scratch. However, Els Company really took off because his son met Qin Ke and opened this joint technology research and development company with Qing Ning Technology.

It is not surprising that Xu Licheng took Qin Ke's visit so seriously.

The company has an underground parking lot, and there is a glass awning in front of the company gate to protect them from the rain. However, in order to show sincerity, Xu Licheng chose to wait together with umbrellas in front of the company's compound.

Soon, several identical cars arrived in front of the company compound. A group of well-dressed men in black got out of the car first and took over the security of the entire venue. They checked everyone present with instruments and made sure they were safe before using the intercom. After saying "safety", more than 20 cars drove in.

Xu Licheng had no idea which car Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were sitting in. He was about to take a few steps forward to greet them, but was politely stopped by a man.

Then someone came to the car door holding a big umbrella, and someone else bent down to open the door. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun got out of the car.

Seeing this scene, Xu Licheng and others were secretly stunned. The pomp of Academician Qin was much more exaggerated than many big shots, and their attitude became more respectful.

In fact, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were quite helpless at such exaggerated behavior. However, Wei Feng and Wei Jing both insisted that it was the instruction from their superiors to ensure the safety of the two academicians to the greatest extent. Qin Ke could only slow down. Get used to it slowly.

Qin Ke recognized Xu Licheng at a glance. The chairman was very similar to his son Xu Guanxiong, but he was more energetic and capable.

Qin Ke smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Hello, Director Xu."

Ning Qingyun also said hello: "Hello, Director Xu." But she did not extend her hand. She was not in the habit of shaking hands with others, especially when the other person was a male.

I don't know whether it was the aura of the men in black before or Qin Ke's natural demeanor as a great scientist. Xu Licheng, who was in charge of a large enterprise with thousands of people, was a little nervous. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Qin Ke: "Academician Qin." , Academician Ning, I have long admired the reputation of this virtuous couple as the ‘pillars of the country’, and it is a great honor to meet them today.”

Qin Ke still had a good impression of him, and said warmly: "Guan Xiong and I are on equal terms. If Director Xu doesn't mind me, how about I call you 'Uncle Xu'?"

"I don't think so. Academician Qin, Academician Ning, please come here." Qin Ke was polite, Xu Licheng didn't dare to talk too much. Yes, Gao Pan, even though he is also the chairman of a large listed company worth hundreds of billions, but in front of top scientists like Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, who can influence an industry or even determine the survival of a company with just one sentence, he really has no arrogance at all. Capital.

And he has seen Qin Ke's ability with his own eyes. Since the artificial intelligence terminal port provided by Qin Ke was opened to engineers half a year ago, the company's mechanical intelligent automation level has improved by leaps and bounds. Most machines can use that artificial intelligence To achieve precise automated control, some components can also be completed by it. Its level of intelligence is staggering.

For example now...

"Zi——" The sound of the machine's engine turning came, and a robot with a white body and black circular decoration walked over from the company's gate, holding an umbrella in its hand.

Its whole body is streamlined, its head is round, its face is a semi-arc black screen, which can display emoticons and text, and its walking movements are very smooth.

Wei Feng and Wei Jing, who were standing next to Qin Ke, both had surprised expressions on their faces. You can tell the level of technology and intelligence of a robot just by watching it walk. The robot in front of you has a cute appearance, and every part of its body is round, but The walking movements are almost the same as those of humans!

Wei Feng and Wei Jing are considered people who have seen the world, and they have never seen a robot that gives people such a "live" feeling!

Yes, vivid. Just from the extremely natural steps and arm swings, you can feel the "vivid" atmosphere that is unique to living creatures such as humans and animals.

What is this stuff? Wei Feng and Wei Jing nervously stood in front of Qin Ke.

The men in black around him immediately stepped forward to stop the robot.

Qin Ke waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, let it come over."

Qin Ke spoke, and Wei Feng hesitated for a moment before waving his hands for everyone to move away. He and Wei Jing were still closely guarding Qin Kening's side.

The white robot came about one meter in front of Qin Ke, stopped, bowed and said, "Welcome Master Qin Ke, Master Qingjun." Its voice was full of mechanical sound quality, but its tone was also extremely natural.

Xu Licheng and others had seen this robot when they came to inspect the company, and representatives from various engineers had been in contact with it frequently. They were already accustomed to the high intelligence of this robot, but when they saw it saluting Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun and calling it master, they were stunned. Wei Feng and others were stunned.

Ning Qingyun had received reports of Shimmer before, but this was the first time she saw it appearing in such a "body", and her beautiful eyes also showed surprise.
