Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

"Mr. Zhou, thank you for accepting the interview with Time. Although this is the first time we have met, I am actually a loyal fan of yours, including on Weibo and Twitter."

In the empty conference room, under the lens of the camera, Zhou Rui and Minieba were each sitting on their own sofa, Zhou Rui was more relaxed, while Minieba was leaning forward slightly.

"Thank you. I've been quite active on the Internet recently."

"When I saw you, my first reaction was that I was surprised at your youth. It's hard not to be proud that you have achieved so many achievements at this age and attracted so much attention. If you were asked to describe yourself, you would use What kind of vocabulary.”

This is a classic opening question and the first question in the process.

Zhou Rui was prepared: "A young man, a scientific researcher, and a lucky person."

"It's a very simple description, but none of the main descriptions of you on the Internet seem to appear."

Minerva said to the information in her hand: "They describe you this way: scientific genius, musical genius, the youngest billionaire, COOL-GUY, technology kid. Do you think these terms are appropriate?"

Additional questions about process issues are not a given, but they are also the main method that reporters can use.

Zhou Rui smiled: "To be honest, I told my secretary a long time ago that you don't pay attention to the positive reports that praise the company and myself, and you don't need to show them to me. I think what you just said It's partly a compliment, a thank you to those who like me, but it doesn't affect how I see myself."

"Can we think that this is a modesty unique to Eastern people? I have interviewed many Eastern faces, and they rarely advertise themselves."

"Humility is a trait shared by all countries, but it is rare in some places and very common in other places. I don't think this is a bad thing. In the English context, isn't it also a complimentary word?"

The question-and-answer process was very smooth.

It was also the first time for Zhou Rui to accept such a formal, one-on-one interview.

No wonder the discussion lasted for more than three hours with more than 20 questions, because every question can be expanded upon and followed up.

Of course, Zhou Rui's most important label is drones, or enlightened intelligence, so the topic gradually focuses on this direction.

"Mr. Zhou, what changes do you think drone technology will bring?"

Zhou Ruidao: "If you are referring to the Soul Bird series, I will tell you: it has given many people a better entertainment experience and a better work experience.

"But if we refer to all drones in general, I think it will bring more. 'Farmer' is a good example. We have increased the efficiency of agricultural labor that was not covered by large agricultural machinery by 200 times. One labor force The scale of agriculture that can be engaged in has been greatly increased.”

Minerba said: "In fact, in the United States, large farms are also highly mechanized."

Zhou Rui grinned: "That's because the number of indigenous people in the United States is too small. We are a civilization with a long history. Each village has its own inherited land division, so in most places, there are no There are conditions for large-scale farms, and countries like ours are the majority in the world."

Minerva immediately shut up, realizing that she had asked a stupid question, and decisively changed her direction.

She leaned forward, and the ravine on her chest became more obvious:

"Then can I think so: Do ​​you think drone technology can change the world?"

Zhou Ruixin said that your summary is really crude. Maybe the Western media likes this tone.

But he still said: "If it refers to drones in a broad sense, I think so."

"I saw a lot of interesting new equipment downstairs. Those machines have incredible intelligence. There have been rumors on the Internet that you have mastered a certain degree of 'artificial intelligence'. Can you explain it?"

Zhou Rui said: "Unfortunately, the development direction of enlightened intelligence is not artificial intelligence, but we have indeed made many breakthroughs in intelligence. If you have to explain it, you can understand it as 'mechanical intelligence', which allows machines to follow their own Methods 'work' rather than in line with human 'habits'."

"I heard that the 'enlightened algorithm' carried on the Saturn was designed by you yourself."

"Yes."

"Compared with 'Skynet', which one is more powerful?"

Zhou Rui smiled: "Enlightened algorithms cannot travel through time. This is too sci-fi. In fact, in the movie, there is a 'super intelligence' that can even control time, but can only choose to go back to the past and kill the enemy when he was young. It’s also a bit too stupid. From this perspective, the enlightened algorithm may be smarter.”

"Do you have any advice for consumers who buy your products?"

Zhou Rui looked at the camera and thought that the erotic scene was finally here.

"I would like to remind everyone that smuggling, reselling at high prices, and private modification are not protected by law. In addition, drones are flying machines after all. Please abide by local laws and regulations and use them safely and properly."

Never use it to blow up tanks. If it blows up, you will be wise and will not bear any responsibility, Zhou Rui added in his heart.

This issue was specifically requested to be added by Zhou Rui through Gan Yuan when the two parties were discussing the process.

At the end of the first half, Minerba went to touch up her makeup, and Zhou Rui got up and straightened her clothes.

To be honest, it's quite tiring.

If he didn't have a strong and flexible tongue, his tongue would probably be numb.

Bai Xiaoying handed over a bottle of water and said, "It seems normal than expected."

Zhou Rui took a sip and said, "It's okay."

Bai Xiaoying suddenly came over and whispered, "You only see the breasts, right?"

"Ahem! What?!"

Zhou Rui almost choked to death.

"What did you say?"

Bai Xiaoying said seriously: "Her posture is unnatural and she is obviously showing off on purpose. I just want to confirm if there is anything else under her clothes, such as a code word? A sign?"

Zhou Rui stared at Bai Xiaoying and lowered his voice: "Nothing else, just two mistakes! I didn't look at it at all. I don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't be nervous, I won't let you see it."

The intermission lasted about half an hour, during which Gan Yuan also ordered some afternoon tea through the "internal and external logistics system".

The process of the drone being sent into the smart building and then the mechanical dog being delivered to the feet was also filmed, and these may also appear in magazines.

"Time" is a weekly magazine with a lot of content, but with so many big and small things happening around the world, the length of each interview is different.

Before coming, Minerva, including the rest of the team, thought that this interview would have a relatively ordinary position in the weekly.

But now, they're unwilling to let go of anything that's allowed to be filmed.

The things that can only be done in the Building are so amazing. This exclusive interview with Zhou Rui is likely to become the cover content.

Minerva had already thought of the title.

"The magical genius from the East and his drone empire!" 》

Of course, it would be great if you could establish a little personal friendship with this young rich man.

When face to face, Minerba can always feel the attraction that is still there but not there.

In the second half, the two continued to start.

If the topics in the first half are relatively broad and concise, then the second half is relatively more life-oriented, more specific, and even more personal.

This is also a routine operation. If you ask personal questions when you come up, you will only get casual answers.

Mineba asked: "As a college student, how do you balance study and work."

Zhou Ruidao: "Actually, I have completed my undergraduate studies some time ago. If you refer to the earlier time, Fuda is a world-class university that teaches students in accordance with their aptitude and is people-oriented (omit 200 words here)"

"You run a rapidly growing company, write intelligent algorithms, devote yourself to solar energy research, and even find time to write songs. I'm curious, do you still have time to live your daily life?"

"Of course, someone asked me to watch a movie this morning, and I enjoy delicious food and exercise every day."

"I can see that you are very healthy and attractive."

Zhou Rui coughed lightly: "I just assume that your understanding of Chinese is biased. This description is a bit strange."

Minerba returned a playful look and changed the angle of her legs: "Yeah, maybe I didn't express it clearly enough."

At this time, the white cameraman not far away cleared his throat to remind someone that the camera was still on!

Minerva, your eyes are almost wired!
