From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 199 Technical Difficulties Faced by Smart Home Appliances

This kind of choice is a big choice in life, and it is certain that no choice can be made in a short time.

With their talents, Zhou Yi felt that they didn't have the determination to break the boat. Instead, they looked forward and backward, and it was better to turn to artificial intelligence early.

So as not to waste time and lose a great time.

Not long after, Zhou Yi called Chen Danqi who was in Ugly Country. Zhou Yi thought about it, and Chen Danqi should not have slept at this time.

A scientific researcher who doesn't stay up late is not a good scientific researcher.

Sure enough, Chen Danqi in Ugly Country looked at the phone call from Zhou Yi and couldn't help wondering why Zhou Yi called himself at this time.

"Hello, Professor Zhou, hello."

Chen Danqi said very politely.

Zhou Yi also said very politely:

"Hi, Professor Chen, I'm Zhou Yi."

Chen Danqi said:
"Professor Zhou, what's the matter so late?"

Zhou Yi said straight to the point:

"Yes, I would like to invite you to return to China to cooperate with us."

Chen Danqi said:
"Are you in such a hurry? Don't you have to wait a year or two?"

Zhou Yi said:

"There are several cooperations with iFLYTEK, and we plan to involve the smart home appliance industry, the Internet of Vehicles industry, and the garbage collection and voice recognition industry."

Chen Danqi was silent for a moment, then said:

"It seems that the three directions will take a long time, and it will take a year or two."

Zhou Yi said:

"Almost, I estimate that in about a year, I also contacted Fang Fei and Gu Quanquan. My three apprentices have good theory and have experience in the field of artificial intelligence. Seven people form the core team, and within a short period of time can make it."

Chen Danqi:.

A big guy is a big guy, and he made it in a short time.

"I have to talk to my partner and explain what I have in hand. I can't come back right away. Our project is halfway through now, so it might be embarrassing for me to leave.
It means that we have entrusted Professor Zhou with our wealth and life. "

Chen Danqi said with a heavy tone.

Zhou Yi immediately said:

"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. The combination of smart home appliances and the Internet of Vehicles market is incredible. When the time comes, the shares will be divided into one share, and the wealth will be directly free. And I think discussing artificial intelligence with me may be more thought-provoking. .”

Zhou Yi said confidently.

I have never shown my talent in the direction of artificial intelligence, but I just think that mathematics is the most important thing.

If it weren't for the mission to use Zhou's geometry to make applications, Zhou Yi would not bother to make applications.

Now Zhou Yi is not short of money at all, and he doesn't know how to use the money.

If you need anything, just talk to the above, and the best things will be delivered.

However, Liu Qingfeng said before that he wanted to change people's livelihood, and the initial establishment of the Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute also needed a gimmick, so Zhou Yi was going to brush up on the level of artificial intelligence.

Solve some technical problems, so that the people above are not disappointed. When the Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute takes shape normally, there will be enough talents in all aspects, and Zhou Yi feels that he does not need to preside over the overall situation.

When the time comes, just give them a direction to study.

Do the theory yourself.

In the next few days, Zhou Yi began to read the information sent by Liu Qingfeng alone, and several apprentices were still studying the basics of Zhou's geometry repeatedly.

But Chen Danqi and the others have not come back yet.

Zhou Yi called the three of them every day, reminding them every day, so as not to think that his side was not important.

But in mid-July, Zhou Yi received a call from Maynard and the others.

"Hey, Zhou Yi, I have good news for you."

Maynard said with some excitement.

Zhou Yi seemed to have guessed something, and said:

"The second guess proves that the idea is feasible?"

Maynard said:
"Yes, it is indeed feasible. We are breaking through the biggest difficulty. The sieve method and density ratio method plus Zhou's analysis method. I feel that the second proof method is likely to be born within 2 to 3 months."

Zhou Yi said:

"Congratulations."

Maynard said:
"Haha, it's still the idea you gave, otherwise our method will definitely be thrown into the trash."

Zhou Yi said:

"At the beginning, I was just a guess. I'm not sure whether I can solve this problem. It's your credit for being able to solve it, and it has nothing to do with me."

Zhou Yi is very polite. Now that he gives more, it will be easier to dig Maynard and Harold Hoofgot later.

If you want to take it, you must first give it.

Zhou Yi can tell the difference very clearly.

Maynard on the other end of the phone was instantly awed and said:

"Oh, Zhou, you are the most healthy person I have ever met. You know, we use the second method to prove Goldbach's conjecture, and we will add the names of the three of us."

Zhou Yi said:

"Isn't that a good story? My name in the history of mathematics is already very famous. I am very happy to cooperate with my friends. I have always regarded you as my good friend. Why not share some ideas with friends? .”

Maynard was very moved, with a choked tone, and said:
"Zhou,..., I admire your heart from the bottom of my heart."

Zhou Yi said:

"Hey, friends, why are you talking about this, work hard, I will wait for your good news, I am very optimistic about your work."

Maynard said:
"Zhou, you moved me so much...I..."

"OK OK"

Nowadays, many PUAs are saying that you are not good, that you are bad. This low-level form of PUA is not only seen at a glance, but also

It's also disgusting, and in the end it can only cause a lose-lose situation.

High-level PUAs are crazily touted and then killed.

Zhou Yi vs. Maynard is this kind of advanced CPU.

A successful hunter must set a long line and catch big fish.

For such a young genius mathematician and winner of the Fields Medal, how could Zhou Yi not make a good plan.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi was very satisfied.

If there is a Fields Medal winner joining full-time in the future, the effect is self-evident.

Just like Bill Carr, who joined Shuimu University full-time, and Fields Medalist Effie Germanov, who joined Southern Kochi University full-time.

Undoubtedly, it took their mathematical strength to a higher level.

What's more, there is Harold Hoofgot who specializes in analytic number theory.

Just their connections and resources are extremely terrifying.

Especially in the current Shuimu University, even if there is no Zhouyi, its faculty is terrifying.

Qiu Chengtong, Bill Carr, Donald Rubin, the founder of the Department of Statistics at Harvard University, and Leshe Tikin, the founder of the field of quantum topology, are all first-class experts in the field of mathematics.

Compared with going to Peking University, Zhou Yi felt that he was only strong but not weak, not to mention he had himself.

Time passed quickly, and almost five days later, Zhou Yi's three students who specialized in pure numbers had already made a decision.

Zheng Keyu said:
"Mr. Zhou, I've made it clear. I'm too old, and I feel like I won't be able to reach the top level if I continue to work on pure numbers. I want to learn artificial intelligence from you after my PhD."

Zhou Yi said:

"Okay, just think clearly, so as not to regret it in the future."

"How about you two?"

Zhou Yi looked at Zhang Dugang and Shen Yiyu.

Zhang Dugang said:
"I still decided to continue studying mathematics. Although artificial intelligence is very profitable, I want to go on this path more than my original dream.

As far as money is concerned, it is enough for daily expenses. I don't have so many extravagant desires. "

Zhou Yi nodded, this Zhang Dugang was still able to keep his heart, and he was worthy of being recommended to Shuimu University in the competition. This persistence alone has surpassed many people.

That's not millions or tens of millions of money, but 10 billion+ money.

After asking Zhang Dugang, Zhou Yi looked at Shen Yiyu again to see what choice this student from the bottom would have.

Shen Yiyu also said decisively at this moment:
"Teacher, I have made up my mind too. I also want to continue learning mathematics."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised when he heard this. He thought this apprentice would choose artificial intelligence.
After all, the poor students who climbed up from the bottom have seen the most ugliness and hardships in the world.
The pursuit of money should be stronger than that of ordinary people.

Zhou Yi asked a rare question,
"why?"

Shen Yiyu seemed to have expected something, and said:
"I did go to school from the lowest level of education, and my family is also very poor. Before studying, I worked part-time and saved enough money for tuition and living expenses.
Logically speaking, my desire for money should be stronger. "

Zhou Yi and a group of apprentices cannot deny this.

"But I have been in a single-parent family since I was a child. My father favored sons over daughters. He sent my younger brother to a noble school and me to a poor school. I gave my brother all the delicious food and opportunities."

Hearing this, everyone was silent, this world is sometimes so outrageous and fucked up.

"When I was in high school, my father even asked me to work-study and earn money for my younger brother to go to a noble school, so I finally went to a junior college."

Everyone was stunned, no wonder this elementary school girl looked so thin, not tall, and skinny, so it was like this.

"Compared to being obsessed with money, I want to make up for what I have lost. I know that money is very important. It is related to whether I can go to school, whether I can have enough food, whether I can wear warm clothes, and whether I have money. Going to the hospital to see a doctor and the opinions of my relatives at home,
But the school provided me with a generous scholarship. I am not short of money anymore. I am not so attached to money. I just want to make up for what I have lost.
Compared with money, I love mathematics more, and I want to be a leader in the field of mathematics, Mr. Zhou, this is my reason. "

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"Well, come on, the field of mathematics requires not only talent, but also decades of hard work and hard work. Talent can't play an absolute role.
You have some talent, too, so work hard. "

Of the six apprentices, Shen Yiyu was the most tortuous, and experienced no less hardships than himself, so Zhou Yi felt a little sympathetic and said a few more words.

In this way, Zhou Yi found that among the six students under his command, only two masters insisted on learning mathematics, and the rest were all going towards artificial intelligence.

But this is also a common thing in the mathematics world. If you don't really like it, who likes to learn pure numbers?

Isn't he good at making money?

In the next few days, Liu Qingfeng's large army had already arrived in Shangjing, and Zhou Yi got the news that the three of them, Chen Danqi, had completely handed over their work.
Will be heading back home in a few days.

Zhou Yi has already made a plan for the work that needs to be done these days, 4 apprentices, 3 high-level talents who have returned to China, plus himself,

There are eight core characters, and the rest are responsible for chores.

Fortunately, Zheng Keyu had learned programming, otherwise Zhou Yi really couldn't handle it.

end of july.

Zhou Yi and others welcomed Chen Danqi at the airport.

"Haha, welcome back to China to play for the country!"

Zhou Yi walked up very enthusiastically.

Chen Danqi said:
"Professor Zhou, I entrust the lives of the three of us to you."

The other two also looked at Zhou Yi, obviously made a lot of determination, and with the promise of the current president of Shuimu University, today is the only way.

"it is good."

Not long after, Zhou Yi took them back to Shuimu University, and HKUST Xunfei had already provided a better house for the three of them.

Two days later, Zhou Yi brought eight people including Liu Qingfeng to a meeting in the office and said:
"I have analyzed the current problems encountered in the home appliance industry in detail. Here is a brief introduction for everyone. If there are technical problems or other problems, Mr. Liu, please help me to make up for them."

Liu Qingfeng said:
"it is good."

The eight people listened intently, only to see Zhou Yi say:
"The first problem we face is the wireless communication technology used by smart home appliances. This is the first and most important problem.

If this problem cannot be solved, there will be no way to talk about the following problems.

But this question is very simple to me, and the following problems may be more complicated. "

Zhou Yi's words shocked Liu Qingfeng, Chen Danqi and others. Daxia Kingdom's neck-stuck technology in this aspect is the most difficult.

He didn't know how much patent fees he paid every year, but he didn't expect Zhouyi to be the easiest for him.

Chen Danqi uttered a word lightly and said:
"Zhou God is awesome,"

The other two also secretly listened to the headmaster's words and came back, otherwise Zhou Yi will deploy artificial intelligence later, and the direction of their own research will be indifferent.

As for Liu Qingfeng, he had been very calm for a long time. He would be shocked before, but now that Zhou Yi said something about him, Liu Qingfeng swore to himself that no matter what he encountered, he would be calm and calm.
Anyway, I am also the director of the National Engineering Research Center for Speech and Language Information Processing, the chairman of the Great Xia Speech Industry Alliance, and the chairman of HKUST Xunfei.

You can't be ashamed in the eyes of these juniors.

To look like a tall man outside.

Zhou Yi then said:

"The second is accurate speech recognition. Take Daxia as an example. Different regions have their own dialects. Not every region speaks Mandarin.

The simplest example is my hometown Yuzhou.Everyone speaks Sichuan-Chongqing dialect, and the difficulty of machine recognition will suddenly increase.

In order to sell our home appliances to the whole country and even the world, this is also a technical problem that we have to overcome. "

As for the second question of Zhou Yi, everyone agrees very much. Not only are there many dialects in China, but also in foreign countries. If you want home appliances to understand everyone's words, this technology also needs to be overcome.

Zhou Yi continued to say:

"Besides, many people speak in a wordy manner, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find key information from their words.
Not to mention machines, so the intelligent system we make must be able to accurately grasp key information and give the most accurate judgment.
I think Zhou's geometry alone is not enough for this piece of content, and things in probability theory must also be used. "

Liu Qingfeng nodded while listening. As expected of the youngest genius, he went straight to the point.

Zhou Yi said:

"If this content is solved, I think we will be half successful in the content of the Internet of Vehicles. As for the intelligent system of the garbage collection box, it can be incorporated into home appliances."

"Mr. Liu, do you have anything to add?"

Liu Qingfeng said:
"Noise, under this kind of noise, our smart home appliances can also accurately capture the needs of the owner. For example, if the TV is on, we need to switch to the next program. At this time, the sound from the TV will interfere.

Another example is when there is heavy rain, the smart curtains and windows may be disturbed. Another example is that there are many people talking at family gatherings, and the interruption of children will generate a lot of noise, which will interfere with our intelligent system recognition. "

Zhou Yi said:

"That's right, there's almost that much content. Now based on the existing data, we can assign tasks."

PS: No one signed up?Generally speaking, the protagonist's apprentice still has a part in the plot.
