Zhao Yi spent three days to test all the test items. All the test items of this high-end robot met the standards he required.
In fact, this type of high-end robot has basically considered all aspects at the beginning of the design, and has also conducted design simulation demonstrations in Zeoling Space.
But when the finished product appeared in front of him, he still felt uneasy. All the testable items had to be tested before he could feel reassured.
Especially for anti-detection testing, the purpose of this type of high-end robot is to allow them to better integrate into human society and play a good role as humans.
That requires not only that they resemble real people, but also that they must be able to prevent human detection methods and prevent human technology from being able to identify that they are not real humans.
During the test, Zhao Yi spent a long time conducting anti-detection tests. He tried all the current human technological detection methods that he could think of.
He has not let go of detection methods that are not currently available and may appear in the future. Judging from the test results, although the effect in this area is not 100% the same as that of a real person, it basically meets his requirements.
At least common detection methods cannot detect the difference between this model of high-end robots and humans. There are only a few detection methods that can detect abnormalities.
However, these methods all require close-range detection, and they also require the cooperation of robots. If you want to detect high-end robots without anyone noticing, it is basically impossible to detect them.
After all testing items were tested, it meant that this high-end robot could enter the mass production stage, so Zhao Yi organized an entire floor in his own laboratory dedicated to robot assembly.
At first, Zhao Yi was not very reassured. Whenever he was free, he would come to the assembly studio of the laboratory and stand by and watch the first robot being assembled.
When he saw that the precision of the assembly of this high-end robot was no different from that of his own assembly, even if there was a difference, it was within an acceptable range and would not affect the overall performance of the robot.
But in terms of efficiency, it is much faster than assembling it himself. Originally, the robot could continue to work around the clock, and its daily working hours were at least 10 hours longer than his.
Moreover, there is no energy loss when assembling the robot. Basically, all assembly links are almost a one-time success, which greatly shortens the entire assembly cycle.
After the first high-end robot assembled the second high-end robot and conducted a self-inspection, it completely met the design requirements. Zhao Yi was completely relieved of his mental arithmetic, and the entire assembly cycle only took just over 10 days.
This was shorter than the assembly time he expected. Originally, he had planned to let these robots perform assembly work for a long time. Otherwise, it would take more time to meet the demand.
Now that the time has been further shortened to about 10 days, Zhao Yi can transfer a batch out of it to perform experimental operations for him, freeing him from these tedious experimental problems.
After confirming that there was no problem in assembling high-end robots with high-end robots, Zhao Yi completely handed over this tedious and boring work to these robots.
He himself is preparing to assemble a very large photon computer on the second underground floor of the laboratory, and then move the primary artificial intelligence from Polaris Company to his laboratory.
His original plan was to let Tiangong Precision Instrument Company slowly research photonic computer components. There was no high time requirement. How they researched it was all up to them.
After all, in the current computer business field, the potential of silicon-based chips has not yet reached its peak. It can continue to develop for at least ten or twenty years. When silicon-based chip technology encounters a bottleneck and development has reached its peak, it will then switch to carbon-based chip technology.
Currently, Tianxing Semiconductor has made major breakthroughs in carbon-based chip research. The laboratory has developed usable finished carbon-based chips, and its computing power has reached the current level of silicon-based chips.
Just because of commercial considerations, it will not be launched for the time being, and there is still a long way to go between laboratory research and development and large-scale industrialization, and the scale of investment in industrialized research and development is not small.
Whether it is Tianxing Semiconductor Company or Qingtian Semiconductor Company, all the semiconductor production equipment they use are developed and manufactured by Tiangong Precision Instrument Company.
Even if they want to develop carbon-based chips, they still need the cooperation of Tiangong Precision Instrument Company to come up with a complete set of manufacturing equipment that can be used for large-scale industrial production as soon as possible.
Moreover, the chemical reagents they use in the semiconductor production process are all provided by Pusi Chemical Company. The chemical reagents used in silicon-based chips and carbon-based chips must be very different, and they also require specialized research and development.
Therefore, it does not make much sense just to have a breakthrough in carbon-based chips in the laboratory. To succeed in industrialization, all links in the entire industry chain need to be able to produce materials and equipment that can be industrialized.
Fortunately, Cornerstone Materials' research on the preparation of carbon nanomaterials used in carbon-based chips is already quite mature. The use of microbial technology to produce nanomaterials has become a mainstream technology within Cornerstone Materials.
As for materials produced by microbial technology, not only the production cost is very low, but the production speed and scale can be very large. Otherwise, it would be impossible to use carbon nanomaterials as transmission line materials.
It is precisely because Cornerstone Materials has broken through the bottleneck of carbon nanoparticle preparation technology and solved the problems of high cost and mass production that the high performance and cost of carbon nanomaterials have been balanced in a reasonable range.
More importantly, Cornerstone Materials does not need to rely on traditional carbon material ores such as graphite ore for carbon nanomaterials. Instead, it directly extracts carbon atoms from carbon-containing gases, such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc., which can be used as raw materials.
This in turn solves the problem of insufficient supply of raw materials in the preparation process of carbon nanomaterials. You must know that the global reserves of graphite ore are not large. If it is small-scale industrial production, it can still be supplied.
If carbon nanomaterials prepared by carbon nanotechnology are used on a large scale in human society, relying solely on ores to supply raw materials will be far from enough to meet demand.
This forces Cornerstone Materials to consider a wider range of sources of raw materials, and the largest source of carbon is naturally the carbon dioxide contained in the air, so conversion technology for this aspect has been included in their research projects.
There may have been some difficulties for them before, but in the process of assisting Zhao Yi in developing materials this time, the research and development technology and theory of carbon materials have become much richer in an instant.
You know, in order to allow high-end robots to escape the detection of human technology, a large number of carbon-oxygen materials were used. In this process, Cornerstone Materials Company obtained a large amount of relevant technical and material theory support from him.
As long as the equipment and chemicals in the carbon-based chip manufacturing process are connected, large-scale industrial production can basically be achieved, and the costs may be lower than the manufacturing costs of silicon-based chips.
But no matter what, as long as our country still maintains its leading position in the field of silicon-based chips, there is no need to come up with carbon-based chip technology for the time being. Otherwise, the technology iteration will be too fast, and subsequent research and development will become increasingly difficult.
After the carbon-based chips come out, it will take decades to digest them, and then we will enter the era of photonic chips. I don’t know how many years from now.
Therefore, from a continuing perspective, Zhao Yi does not need to personally participate in the research and development of photonic chips at all, so he is not particularly anxious about it. He just lets Tiangong Precision Instrument Company do the technical exploration and reserves in this area.
I just didn't expect that he would suddenly become interested in robots after having a private laboratory, and he would target high-end robots with extremely high technical content.
In order for high-end robots to perform as they should, neither silicon-based chips nor carbon-based chips meet his requirements, so photonic chips have entered his field of vision.
In fact, according to the optimal solution, the quantum chip is naturally the most suitable, but the quantum chip can barely be manufactured in his hands, but the miniaturization and energy consumption issues are difficult to solve in a short time.
Even if a miniature quantum chip is developed at all costs, the cost is still very high. After comprehensive consideration, it is much more cost-effective to use photonic chips, and the overall performance meets his performance requirements for high-end robots.
Now that photonic chips have been developed and their performance is absolutely very advanced, there is no reason to let primary artificial intelligence run on supercomputers built on silicon-based chips.
So his next job is to personally develop and assemble a super-large photonic computer, and use the entire second underground floor of his laboratory as a place for the super-photon computer.
According to his habit, since the super photon computer is about to be developed, intermediate artificial intelligence has also been included in his research and development projects.
As mentioned before, due to the relatively weak parallel computing capabilities of silicon-based chips, it is barely possible to run primary artificial intelligence, but it cannot be used to run intermediate artificial intelligence, and the advantages of intermediate artificial intelligence cannot be fully utilized.
If you want to barely run intermediate-level artificial intelligence, you must also have a super photon computer. If you want to fully utilize its performance, you must have a super quantum computer.
To be honest, at the current stage of industrialization, primary artificial intelligence is more than enough, and there is no need for intermediate artificial intelligence at all.
According to Zhou Ling's description and classification, intermediate artificial intelligence already has a certain degree of creativity. There is no obvious gap between IQ performance and humans, and because of the strong support of computing power, the overall performance is much better than humans.
The ultimate artificial intelligence is the highest artificial intelligence described by Zhou Ling. Even Zhou Ling has no relevant technical implementation plan, so Zhao Yi is naturally powerless to do anything about it.
Because the ultimate artificial intelligence can be regarded as a living body, it has broken away from the category of machines and has the same true spirit as humans. Therefore, if you want to develop the ultimate artificial intelligence, you must first think about what the true spirit is.
If you don't even know what a true spirit is, then it will be impossible to develop an artificial intelligence with a true spirit. Therefore, Zhao Yi has never thought that he can develop the ultimate artificial intelligence with his current abilities.
And even if he has the ability to develop the ultimate artificial intelligence, he still needs to think about whether it will bring disaster to human civilization, because having a true spirit means being uncontrollable.
Originally, the advantage of human beings lies in creativity. If even creativity is defeated by artificial intelligence, it means that human beings have no advantages over artificial intelligence in all aspects. According to the laws of nature, they will be eliminated as a species.
Even if they are not eliminated, they will be enslaved for a long time. Just like other animals on the earth, compared to human civilization, they can be eliminated at any time, just to see if humans need it.
Of course, there is another way to solve this dilemma, which is to carry out more advanced genetic modification of humans themselves to comprehensively improve human performance.
But after comprehensively improving human performance, will other problems arise? Zhao Yi doesn't have a clear answer. "The way of heaven will make up for the damage and make up for the deficiency." Zhao Yi still believes in this concept.
It is precisely because of such concerns that he has been very cautious in developing technologies for improving human abilities so far. If pressed, intelligence potions and body immunity-enhancing potions can barely be considered.
It's just that this level of change is not big, so he is relatively confident to release this technology, but for more advanced technologies, he is much less courageous, at least he will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary. from.
Always have a sense of awe, this is the philosophy that Zhao Yi has adhered to in his previous life, although he now has a golden finger in his hand, and has created such a huge situation with his golden finger.
But the cautious habits of his previous life were still there, and he did not become arrogant because of the omnipotent feeling that Golden Finger gave him. Instead, he was much more cautious than he was in his previous life.
The development of things often begins unconsciously. The more significant the impact of an event, the harder it is to see it at the beginning. Until the turning point comes, it will be difficult to make up for it before it is too late.
Only by always adhering to a cautious heart can we take every step well. If every step is taken well, the result may not be the best, but it is definitely not the worst. The problems encountered can also be solved. plan.
According to the work arrangement, the work that Zhao Yi did personally was to upgrade the primary artificial intelligence. This work could not be done by others, he could only do it by himself.
As for the super photon computer, there are not many things that he needs to handle personally. He only needs to build the framework, design all the R&D and manufacturing processes, and then hand it over to high-end robots to complete.
You must know that if you want to build a super photon computer and fill the entire second underground floor of a private laboratory, you will need at least 100,000 computing units.
In this process, he could not ask outsiders to help. After all, there were too many technical secrets involved. Even Tiangong Precision Instrument Company did not have comprehensive technology.
In the process of assisting Zhao Yi in developing photonic chips, they only did good research on the miniaturization technology of various components on photonic chips, and could help him manufacture the components needed for these photonic chips.
As for the overall design technology and new logic methods of the photonic chip, Zhao Yichen did not tell him. Even the wafer manufacturing technology of the photonic chip was completed through laboratory equipment.
The purpose of this is not that Zhao Yi wants to be self-conscious, but because the current demand for photonic computers in society is not large, and it is not yet necessary to commercialize it.
More importantly, all scientific research and development requires a process. Although the results are the most important, the accumulation in the process cannot be ignored, and often even determines whether the subsequent development of scientific civilization is stable.
This is what people often say, "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish." At present, our country's economic and industrial foundation is not weak, and it is already in a relatively advantageous position in international competition.
And it is not to the extent that changes are necessary. Under such circumstances, there is no need to rush for success as before. Time is on our side, and these researchers can completely calm down and conduct research slowly.
Now Zhao Yi is not worried about our country's economic and industrial problems, because our country is now in a leading position in these two aspects. As long as all fields continue to operate step by step, there will not be any big problems in the short term.
What really worries him are two aspects. The first is the overall education level of the domestic people. Zhao Yi's current social status is very high, and it is difficult to experience the living conditions of the people at the bottom first-hand.
But although he was an intellectual in his previous life and went to college, many of his friends were actually not very knowledgeable. From them, he could feel a lot of helplessness and struggle.
This is not only an economic and material struggle, but also ideological confusion and pain caused by a lack of knowledge. The more people have their own ideas and the more they do not want to get rid of the ideological constraints of the bottom, the more painful life and work will be.
Because people who take the lead often seem out of place. They are either determined and follow their own path, or they drift with the crowd, completely losing their original intentions and accepting the arrangements of real life.
If we want to change this situation, we can only raise the level of overall social knowledge. However, this is a systematic project. It is impossible to achieve it overnight and take it for granted.
Although this problem also existed in the previous life, due to the long timeline, it took two or three generations to slowly change this situation. In this era, a large part of the population is illiterate.
This is why he wants Chinese education companies to launch a literacy campaign, which will last for a long time. In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of learners, he has even introduced subsidies and incentives.
According to common sense, teaching you something for free is already a good deed. There is absolutely no need to pay extra money as a reward. It's just that Zhao Yi's purpose is different, so he has a different way of doing things.
Zhao Yi asked China Education Company to launch a literacy campaign not just as a formality, but in the hope that it could actually reverse the current situation and change the current knowledge level of the country's bottom class, especially in rural areas.
To achieve this, the primary purpose is to realize the ability of self-learning, which means that you must be able to read. If you don't even know the words, learning higher-level knowledge is just a dream.
Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary for him to provide an extra amount of money as an incentive reward. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to achieve his goal.
After all, life in rural areas is all about farming, which is completely different from life in cities. In most cases, literacy is not required. If one person in the family can read, there won't be much of a problem.
In addition, the work pressure is high, and I am exhausted. How can I think about learning to read? You must know that the learning process is actually a reverse process. As long as it is a reverse process, it will inevitably be accompanied by pain.
The only way to reduce their pain is to give them material rewards. Last year, the reward fees for Chinese education companies exceeded 1 billion yuan, and they achieved very little results.
If everything goes well this year, the amount of money spent on this incentive will be even larger, but Zhao Yi feels that the higher the incentive amount, the happier he will be, because it means more people will achieve their learning goals.
However, what has changed this year is that the main battleground of the literacy movement has shifted to cities, because a large number of rural surplus laborers now go to work in cities.
However, these are not big problems for Chinese education companies. First, they also have enough school facilities in the city to accommodate enough people to study at the same time.
Second, the government currently attaches great importance to literacy campaigns and has even promulgated relevant laws and regulations to prevent anyone from interfering with the literacy campaign.
It's okay in rural areas, and in most cases it doesn't exist. But in cities, business owners may prevent their employees from studying in order to let their employees work more hours.
The task will be basically completed when the literacy campaign reaches over 95% of the country's literacy rate. Ideally, of course, it will reach 100%.
However, as long as it reaches more than 95%, then the current offline literacy campaign can be withdrawn and online literacy education work can be adopted. This campaign will not end until the domestic statistical literacy rate reaches 100%.
As long as the literacy rate increases, higher-level knowledge learning can be carried out to improve the overall level of domestic knowledge, not just literacy.
At the next stage, specific issues will need to be analyzed in detail. Whether free or even incentive measures will be taken at that time has not yet been decided.
According to Zhao's wishes, it is of course better to provide incentives. In that case, the people will be motivated to learn. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to achieve the desired results.
It's just that Chinese education companies themselves maintain a huge compulsory education and higher education, and the annual capital consumption is very huge. Especially in the new round of urbanization, the scale of hardware investment is even larger.
Regardless of the fact that our country's economy has developed faster in the past two years, the overall scale has become larger, the scale of welfare fund expenditures has reached one trillion yuan, and the funds allocated to the education field have also reached about 500 billion yuan.
However, with the acceleration of urbanization and preparation for the future increase in urban population, it is necessary to build a large number of high-standard new teaching facilities in various cities. This investment alone is larger than the previous investment scale.
Moreover, the increase in education funds is accompanied by the improvement of education quality. The improvement of education quality also consumes more education funds. Therefore, let alone having any money left, it is lucky not to suffer a huge loss.
It's not yet time to think about specific measures for the second stage, so he doesn't know what to do then, but things must be done well, which is his constant goal.
Because if we do not do a good job in this area, it will seriously affect the continued development of our country's economy, and there may be other worse problems in the future. (End of chapter)
