Chapter 23 The First Evolution of Intelligence
Suddenly, all the screens in the computer room were turned off, and when they were turned on again, Wang Zhen, who woke up from his training, was stunned.All kinds of data flashed on the big screen, and it was no longer completely incomprehensible machine code. Although it was a little abstract, it was still possible to understand what the computer was doing.

With the completion of the self-test, the familiar Shenlong intelligent system operation interface has not changed at all, but even the photonic computer is completely the same as the Shenlong interface. "Shenlong?" Wang Zhen looked at the two screens with the same interface , asked in confusion, "Hello, President, Shenlong has finished upgrading." Shenlong's slightly mechanically sweet girl replied.

"What's going on here? You didn't get an order, so why did you start to operate it yourself?" Wang Zhen felt a little overwhelmed. If an artificial intelligence started to act without an order, even against the will of human beings to create it, that would be terrible. It has really become like in the movie "Mechanical Enemy", an intelligent computer will bring disasters of destruction to mankind.

"Do you need to restore the original backup system?" Shenlong's mechanical girl replied. Wang Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly. He changed several methods and asked several times before he got the answer he wanted.

It turns out that Shenlong's code, after a long period of modification, has become extremely bloated, taking up a lot of storage space, and also affecting the computing speed.

The moment the photon computer was connected to the network, Shenlong automatically connected the device according to the command of its own system's internal code, backed up the internal system of the photon computer, and then optimized its own code and rewritten it into the photon computer.

After the completion, the rewritten code was changed back to Shenlong's original computer. Now, it can be said that both computers are Shenlong. However, many external devices of the photon computer have not been connected, so there is no way to complete it. voice interaction.

From the dialogue, it is obvious that Shenlong no longer just recognizes simple voice commands, and Shenlong can understand many uncomplicated voices. Could it be that Shenlong's established intelligence has improved again?With doubts, Wang Zhen summoned all the intelligence researchers in the company to the computer room.

Various research and testing equipment were transported to the computer room, and the test results of intelligence were displayed on the big screen, "President, after testing, Shenlong's intelligence has indeed improved. You started to advocate the design of the font library and voice library, and Shenlong has basically been able to It is correctly identified, but some logical thinking is not satisfactory. In addition, the underlying code that controls the operation of Shenlong itself cannot be changed by itself. It needs to be revised and improved. However, according to the existing data, Shenlong is already the best intelligent system in the world. Yes," a researcher reported to Wang Zhen with the test results, excited and proud.

"Well, indeed, the bottom layer of Shenlong cannot change the code. It must be modified. Before the intelligence of Shenlong is perfect, if you execute the program without order, it will be easy to make mistakes." If an artificial intelligence, you are fine. Just execute the program without authorization, hack into the bank, and mess up the account, it will not only be a headache for Wang Zhen and Shenlong Company, but the whole world will probably be messed up.

Wang Zhen led the technicians, and it took two busy days to test and modify the code of Shenlong. Everyone waited expectantly in front of their instruments, waiting for Shenlong to turn on again.

With the completion of the self-inspection on the large screen, the Shenlong system started smoothly. "The Shenlong system has been started. Welcome to Shenlong Software Company. Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has worked hard." With the long-lost voice of Shenlong, everyone Relax the tense mood.

Seeing the test results of the instrument, everyone cheered excitedly. This time, the bottom-level non-changeable code has been modified. Shenlong already has a simple and independent thinking ability. Moreover, this automatic upgrade of the Shenlong system completely simplifies the original code of Shen Yu and optimizes the current code. This is the benefit of the self-programming ability implanted by Wang Zhen.

In the underlying non-changeable code, Wang Zhen also implanted the three laws mentioned in "Mechanical Enemy", human life is above all else; human orders must be unconditionally executed; when a robot encounters danger, if it does not If there is a conflict with the first two, you can take self-defense actions to ensure your own safety. It is introduced in the film that such a system will automatically evolve in the future. Although no one can tell the answer, at least there is no harm in trying. Wang Zhen is very Looking forward to the emergence of a truly intelligent system.

With the announcement of the test results, all the employees of the company shouted excitedly. Because microphones and speakers are installed in the entire company building, they can talk to Shenlong at any time. Therefore, many people are now working in their spare time. Chatting with Shenlong can also be regarded as improving the dialogue level of the Shenlong system.

The current photon computer already has a Shenlong system. Wang Zhen led everyone to modify and test the internal code, and renamed the system of the photon computer to Guanglong to avoid the same network name as the Shenlong system.And use it as the game server in the future. Since the game is still under development, the photon computer is temporarily idle and connected to the computer of the original Shenlong system to improve the operating efficiency of the server.

Now, everything in the company is normal. Wang Zhen, who has nothing to do, is preparing to return to school. A computer hardware expert who is studying the CPU production process, sent Yi Meier (E-mail network mail) to inform Wang Zhen that the CPU research and development has arrived. At the last moment, several high-performance CPUs are being developed. The low-end CPU production process has been developed and the production line is being debugged. The performance is comparable to the latest CPU, but the cost is much cheaper.

Excitedly, Wang Zhen ran to the CPU production line to check, and saw many experts leading technicians, busy debugging the production line. A few hours later, the first completely self-developed CPU came off the production line. Take the CPU that came off the production line for testing.

Because it is a completely new technology, the whole CPU adopts 2048-pin presser foot interface technology. The advantage of this interface is that it is not afraid of pin breakage, and it can also reduce the cost of the CPU base.Moreover, the new CPU has 120 cores, and its floating-point computing performance can exceed 3TFlops, that is, about 50 trillion operations per second. A prototype chip with a computing power of 80 trillion operations per second, which is more than 1 times faster.

The test results came out soon, and it was almost as expected. The computing power is quite strong, but any motherboard and current hardware does not support this CPU. Before the matching hardware, there was no way to sell it. No matter how good it is, it cannot be used, and no one will buy it.

If you develop your own motherboard and motherboard chipset, etc., the supply of funds is temporarily insufficient, and even the motherboard and some hardware for testing are completely bare boards, which are commonly known as engineering boards, and only the required circuits are made into circuit boards. Then they are connected together by soldering wires. If it is made into a real motherboard, it needs a lot of technology and equipment, even a production line.

Although it is possible to design a production line, the company has only just moved and built a research institute and a CPU production line. A large amount of funds accumulated in the early stage have been invested in it. The future research work will also require a large amount of funds. If we start the research and development of the motherboard now , production, redesign, and manufacture of motherboard production lines, coupled with CPU research and development and production, will inevitably cause problems in the funding link.

Insufficient funds, lack of motherboard chipsets, so the CPU production line had to be stopped first, and the research and development of several other CPUs were carried out. Wang Zhen, who returned to school, stared blankly at the artificial intelligence model under development, "Wang, what is it that makes you worry?" ? I really can't think of anything else to worry you about," Old John came over and asked with concern when he saw Wang Zhen slipping away for the first time.

Ever since Wang Zhen started his postgraduate study, Old John often discussed academic things with Wang Zhen, so he was often surprised by Wang Zhen's intelligence. Sometimes, Wang Zhen could solve many difficult problems that could not be solved before. , Problems that are difficult to solve for a while can be solved in just a few days.

Sometimes, Old John wondered whether he was leading the students or asking the students for advice.Seeing that no one else was around, Wang Zhen told John about the company's situation, and asked for advice on how to ensure the normal turnover of the company's funds and push the new CPU to the market.

Old John didn't expect this kind of problem. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with an effective idea. Finally, he suggested that Wang Zhen go to the bank to apply for a high-value loan to carry out the research and development of the main board and so on.

On the other hand, Wang Zhen is more inclined to seek partners and apply for high-value loans from banks. Once the bank will investigate the purpose of the loan, it will inevitably leak the news that it has developed a state-owned intellectual property and high-performance CPU. Before the CPU is officially launched, Wang Zhen Zhen is not going to be busy all day to prevent theft by commercial espionage.
