I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 991 A scene with a bit of science fiction color (Wish everyone a happy New Year)

Qin Ke is quite satisfied. From the fact that Shimmer can control this "body" so nearly perfectly, it can be seen that its advanced control algorithm has been greatly improved through the autonomous learning mechanism.

Qin Ke smiled slightly: "Shiguang, how does your body feel?"

"It's not bad, but I still can't do many fine movements. The control technology of some key sensors and joints needs to be improved. I try my best to improve the fluency of the body's internal control system through learning analysis and algorithm optimization. It's raining here, Master Qin Ke and Master Qingyun, why don’t you go inside first?”

Qin Ke nodded: "Okay." He turned to Xu Licheng and smiled: "Dr. Xu, shall we go in?"

"Oh, okay...Academician Qin, please go this way." Xu Licheng was still a little dazed. Not only him, but several senior executives and chief engineers originally planned to report to Qin Ke on the company's latest "intelligent application" results. He also "scared Academician Qin and surprised him", but before he could speak, he was frightened by the conversation between Qin Ke and Wei Guang.

It is indeed the artificial intelligence interface program provided by Academician Qin. It seems that the rumors that this artificial intelligence was developed by Academician Qin may be true - even if it is not, it should be developed by professionals within Academician Qin’s Qingning Technology, and Academician Qin He had been deeply involved, otherwise this artificial intelligence would not have called him "Master Qin Ke".

Qin Ke didn't pay attention to the complex and astonishing mood of everyone. The glimmer of light in front of his eyes made him a little surprised, but it was not surprising enough, at least not enough to shock the top scientists.

If sensors are "intelligent" eyes and ears, various terminals are "intelligent" hands and feet, and MEMS technology is the blood neural network, then the core brain is naturally "artificial intelligence." As the "core brain", Shimmer fully intervenes in the intelligent system of "Lime Els United Technology R&D Company", what changes will it bring here?

Qin Ke is full of expectations for this.

Especially when he knew that the "body" of this robot was just one of Shimmer's terminal forms. In fact, Shimmer's "tentacles" were all over the entire company building.

……

Another person accompanying him was Fan Shichao, the company's technical director and chief engineer. After being introduced by Xu Guanxiong and with Qin Ke's permission, he began various explanations: "Academician Qin, Academician Ning, currently our lighting system has all realized Artificial intelligence control..."

It is more appropriate for the staff here to explain the situation here. After all, Qin Ke has read the report automatically generated by Shimmer in advance.

Under the leadership of Xu Licheng and others, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun entered the company building. Shimmer walked about one meter in front of them, while Wei Feng and Wei Jing still followed them closely. There were ten men in black also scattered around, guarding the surroundings.

Qin Ke, who had read the report, actually knew these details very well, but he still smiled and nodded: "It's amazing."

After getting on the elevator, Xu Guanxiong directly told the location, and the elevator automatically ran and sent everyone to the third floor.

Seeing the beautiful Academician Ning asking questions, Fan Shichao felt even more energetic: "Basically no manual maintenance is required. Please wait for a moment. You will understand when you come to our experimental factory later."

Seeing Qin Ke finally showing his admiration, Fan Shichao's spirit perked up and his mood instantly brightened.

Ning Qingyun asked curiously: "Then if they malfunction, do they also need manual repair?"

At this time, three more robots with round chassis "came" over. Fan Shichao introduced: "This is a combination of sweeping robots that we successfully developed just last month. It can adapt to floors of various materials and various weather conditions, ensuring the floor's durability." clean……"

"This is our experimental factory." Xu Guanxiong introduced.

The three cleaning robots soon automatically followed everyone. The first mopping robot wiped away the muddy and water footprints left by everyone when they walked in from the outside, and the second robot used a dry cloth to wipe away the water on the floor. Blot it dry. The third robot should be equipped with a dryer function to directly dry the remaining moisture on the floor.

"Wherever, if it weren't for the artificial intelligence core provided by you, Academician Qin, we would still be at the level of a low-level component R&D and production factory." Xu Guanxiong said hurriedly. Like Sun Bingfei, he is usually a very public and troublesome person, but now that his father is around and Qin Ke's status is different from before, he does not dare to be even the slightest bit presumptuous.

So they naturally watched the whole process of the cleaning robot's work, and couldn't help but be secretly speechless.

"Guanxiong, it's all thanks to you that this company can develop to what it is today."

The three robots cooperated tacitly, and their movements were light and fast. As everyone walked from the lobby to the elevator, the footprints behind them had completely disappeared, and the floor was as smooth as new.

Wei Feng and Wei Jing have been alert and observing their surroundings. Although Academician Qin said that this place is very safe, they are actually responsible for the safety work. Qin Ke can be optimistic, but they do not dare to take it lightly. Qin Ke and the two No one knows better than them how important it is to this country and the world.

As for the other men in black who were traveling with them, they were patrolling and setting up defenses outside the building.

If this combination of intelligent sweeping robots is popularized, it is estimated that the profession of cleaning workers will disappear.

During his explanation, the lights in the company lobby gradually changed in brightness as people moved around. The entire change process was very soft and gentle, which not only ensured that everyone's sight was not affected by the light, but also prevented their eyes from being dazzled by the reflection of the smooth floor. The lights in the distance are dimmed to save energy as much as possible.

Qin Ke and Qin Ke were somewhat accustomed to this kind of behavior and didn't care much about it. Qin Ke signaled Wei Guang not to speak yet, while he walked and communicated with Xu Licheng and Xu Guanxiong.

"These cleaning robots will automatically go to the sink to rinse the rags with cleaning fluid. If the rags are too old, they will automatically replace the rags. Currently, the built-in batteries of these robots can be used for about two days. When they run out of power, they will automatically charge. So basically you don’t need to worry about it after you turn it on. There are currently seven groups of such cleaning robots. They can not only sweep the floor, but also wipe tables, water green plants, and clean ceilings. Basically, the sanitation work of the entire building is currently handled by Here they come.”

Chief Engineer Fan Shichao pointed around and said with pride: "Academician Qin, Academician Ning, our experimental factory has basically achieved fully intelligent automation. Academician Ning, you just asked how to deal with the robot failure, please talk to Qin Academician, look this way.”

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw several large and small robotic arms operating on a machine tool, using various knives and tools to repair a drone-like aircraft with great dexterity.

Some of these robotic arms are larger. The larger robotic arms are as thick as pillars, while the smaller robotic arms are only as thick as a baby’s arm. They look a bit rough from the outside, but judging from their delicate and flexible movements, they are no less than human machines. engineer.

"Academician Qin, Academician Ning, this is our intelligent maintenance system. It can now automatically repair all the machines and equipment we produce. Our engineers now only need to maintain the system itself." Chief Engineer Fan Shichao originally said He still sounded a little proud as he spoke, but when he thought of something, he embarrassedly restrained his emotions and added:

"This is also thanks to you, Academician Qin. The artificial intelligence interface you provided has extremely powerful learning functions and simulation operation algorithms. We only need to show it the drawings and let it watch and learn for a day or two, and it will be able to Quickly master the use of this maintenance system and then take over related work. Because of its presence, our experimental workshop has changed from semi-automatic to fully automated and intelligent."

Qin Ke praised: "Gong Fan is too modest. If it weren't for the semi-automatic maintenance system that you were able to implement with meticulous work, this artificial intelligence would not be able to turn it into an automated and intelligent system."

Qin Ke's words made Fan Gong excited again: "Academician Qin, you instructed us to install sensors, micro-electromechanical system modules and communication modules on every component as much as possible. To be honest, we all think your idea is a little bit... It's too advanced, but now that you have discovered the necessity of doing this, you are really far-sighted! If the relevant modules were not configured in advance in the production process according to your instructions, even if you want to modify it at this time, it will not be able to be modified in half a year. of."

Fan Gong mainly did not expect that Academician Qin could produce such a powerful artificial intelligence. This thing is much better than OpenAI GPT-4, NVIDIA Jetson, IBM PowerAI, IBM Watson, and Alexa on the market, let alone the previous AlphaGo. .

The more deeply he used this artificial intelligence interface, the more Fan Shichao realized how accurate the statement "artificial intelligence is the core" was. At the same time, he had to lament that compared with the artificial intelligence provided by Academician Qin, the one they secretly developed themselves Beta AI is simply artificial retardation.

However, although he was very curious, Fan Gong did not ask Academician Qin about this artificial intelligence. Considering that Academician Qin was always conducting various mysterious research, and the group of men in black following Qin Ke, Fan Gong felt that The less you know, the safer you are.

Fan Gong continued his introduction: "Academician Qin and Academician Ning, it's not just the maintenance system. You see, all our work here is basically automated and intelligent, including the assembly of various robots and components, and various refined processing. We only need to provide drawings and design plans, and artificial intelligence can produce them for us.”

In this large flat-floor factory of more than 500 square meters, various tasks are currently being carried out automatically. All materials do not require manual handling because there are small loading and unloading trucks for automatic transportation, and each industrial robot controls its own machinery. The arm either processes it or assembles various parts.

The entire workplace is smooth and efficient, making people feel like they are in the future world. Anyway, Wei Feng and Wei Jing were dumbfounded, and the other men in black also had their eyes widened. Even Ning Qingyun was a little dizzy.

Qin Ke also felt a little emotional.

Nearly nine years have passed since he was guided by the God of Learning to Save the World system in high school to develop artificial intelligence.

Shimmer has also been upgraded from the original v0.1 version to the current LV5, and it is constantly learning and improving, becoming more and more perfect, and finally has this sci-fi scene in front of you.

This is not only the result of the system's guidance through tasks and special branch technologies, but also his own interests.

At that time, I probably never thought that artificial intelligence developed casually based on interests and system tasks would play such an important role in the future operation to save the world, right?

At this time, a robot has automatically brewed coffee and delivered it, and everyone has a cup.

Moreover, these robots automatically bypassed various moving machines in the factory during the entire route, and the tray holding the coffee cup did not spill at all.

Qin Ke smiled and said to Fan Gong: "I guess this is the most intelligent place in the country."

Fan Gong and Yourong nodded, but then sighed: "The only pity is that artificial intelligence is still unable to do creative work."

Qin Keshen felt the same: "Yes, this is also an innate limitation of artificial intelligence."

The essence of artificial intelligence is a program. Everything is about "cause and effect" and conforms to the "settings" of the program itself. It cannot have the same unconstrained sense of innovation as humans.

Even if Shimmer reaches the limit of LV5, it cannot break this limitation. Even if it can imitate certain design ideas and draw some drawings through continuous learning, if it is something that has never appeared in the world, it will not be able to do anything about it. Created from scratch.

Moreover, according to Qin Ke's careful observation, it can still be found that the intelligence of some details is somewhat lacking. It should be that the "intelligent automatic control algorithm" is not perfect enough.

After all, Weiguang independently learns and optimizes itself through neural networks and big data analysis based on the algorithm provided by Qin Ke. It has shortcomings in creativity that are difficult to make up for.

No matter what, Qin Ke is quite satisfied with today's inspection of "Ling Ning Els United Technology R&D Company". The research results of "Ling Ning Els United Technology R & D Company" in basic components for intelligent applications are up to standard. , whether it is sensor technology, various machine terminal function modules, micro-electromechanical system technology, etc., they have basically reached highly intelligent standards.

As long as he spends another half month to optimize Weiguang's "intelligent automatic control algorithm" in detail, Qin Ke is confident that the intelligent automation effects demonstrated in this company will shock everyone.

In the conference room, Qin Ke highly affirmed and praised everyone, especially the engineers, and said that he would increase investment in the future to make this place the "cradle of intelligent applications" in the country and even the world. His words made engineers such as Xu Licheng, Xu Guanxiong and Fan Gong feel a few pounds lighter and full of energy. They have a sense of honor that "the responsibility is on my shoulders and the mission is on me".

……

On the way back to Qingmu University after leaving "Ling Ning Els United Technology R&D Company", Qin Ke's mind was still full of images of robotic arms automatically producing various mechanical parts.

Now the company's industrial robots alone can produce sensors, micro-electromechanical system functional modules and other sophisticated products. If more advanced industrial robots from abroad are introduced, will we be able to directly build the entire launch base in the future? tower?

This can not only improve efficiency, but also eliminate defects in parts.

We must know that a single unqualified artificially produced screw will cause the launch failure of the launch vehicle. Qin Ke does not want to have a complete design plan and drawings, but in the end there will be a flaw in the details of the construction.

The more Qin Ke thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible. The valley previously designated as the first launch tower was currently idle, and the land was large enough. It would be better to introduce the most advanced industrial robots from various countries and let Wei Guang manage it. You can also take this opportunity to continuously optimize Weiguang's automatic assembly algorithm and industrial robot control algorithm, and prepare in advance...

He was immersed in his thoughts when he suddenly felt his phone vibrate, and then the screen lit up with a message popping up: "[grieved expression] Master Qin Ke, why didn't you let me explain to you and Master Qingjun in the building? I will Explain it better than them!”
