After Zhao Yi came out of the conference room, he was going to go home directly. He was not in much mood to rush on the street now because there were still many things to be busy with, especially after this meeting, there were many things to arrange.
Originally, he thought that the central bank would be more cautious about digital currency, and it would take a long time to enter actual daily testing, so he arranged relatively little work.
It's not that he did this on purpose, but in the past year, his companies were operating at full capacity, and there was not much effort invested in this aspect.
And in his view, although digital currency is important, it is not necessary. At least it is not so urgent, and it can be done slowly.
Now that it has entered the actual testing stage, which is different from internal testing, after three rounds of actual testing, it can basically reach the level of full promotion.
According to his estimate, if the three rounds of actual tests go well, it will basically be officially fully promoted next year. Even if it is not really launched next year, at least it will be very mature on a technical level.
By then, it will not just be used in daily department stores and supermarkets, because daily life is not just daily consumption, but there are many areas that also fall into the category of daily consumption.
Take medical care, for example. Although Chinese medical companies provide free medical care, in addition to free medical services, there are also many paid medical projects.
And after the cash replacement work is fully promoted, the next step will be to replace the inter-bank capital transaction business, which is the digital currency wholesale business that will be promoted, and the scope will be wider by then.
As an important domestic economic participant and an important provider of digital currency technology, we must do all the work up front so that we will not be in a hurry when the time comes.
When he came outside, he was about to take the car home when he was stopped by someone. He actually knew the person coming. He was the old man's secretary, whom he had met several times before.
"Academician Zhao, the old man wants to meet you. Are you free now?" the secretary asked.
Isn't this nonsense? Can he say that he is very busy? Although he is indeed very busy, he can't say it out loud. Usually the old man seldom has anything to look for specifically for himself. Since he specifically looks for himself, then the matter may be more important.
I got in the car and followed the secretary's car to the old man's daily office. The last time I came here was during the Spring Festival after the Chinese New Year, which was almost a year ago.
Looking at the old man in front of me, he is in good spirits. Anyway, after all these years, I find that he has not changed much. Every time he meets me, he always smiles, fully demonstrating his affinity.
"I heard that you haven't left the house for nearly a year, and you haven't even taken a step forward. You just stayed at home and practiced?" the old man asked with a smile.
“There are indeed things that I need to be busy with. As you know, although I have some achievements in business, in the final analysis, I am still a scientific worker, and my main responsibilities and interests are still in this area.
It just so happened that the laboratory conditions at home were much better than before, and the heads of the various companies below were able to take charge of their own affairs. There was nothing for me to worry about, so I spent more time on scientific research. "Zhao Yi said with a smile.
"Every time I see you, it always makes me wonder whether it was right or wrong for you to enter the business world. With your talent, specializing in scientific research may make human development a big step forward.
But over the years, your business achievements have been fully reflected, playing a huge role in the economic development of our country. If you had not entered the business world, it might be a different situation. "The old man said with emotion.
Hearing the old man's emotional words, Zhao Yi was very open-minded. Scientific development was certainly important, but under the circumstances at that time, developing the domestic economy was the top priority, and other things could be pushed back a little.
As far as scientific development is concerned, it doesn't really matter whether you are earlier or later. Anyway, it is always there. As long as there is no existential crisis for mankind, one day someone will solve the many mysteries of science.
Moreover, he himself is not someone who cares about false fame. He actually doesn't care much about leaving his name in history. Otherwise, he would not be so low-key, so low-key that he had to make arrangements, and the outside world ignored his existence.
“Isn’t it great now? The domestic economy has developed rapidly in recent years, people’s lives have been greatly improved, and the country’s strength has become increasingly stronger. Isn’t this exactly what we are pursuing
In the past few years, I may have spent more time on business, but when it comes to scientific research, I have not delayed at all. This can be seen from the scientific research strength of my companies.
And now I need to deal with less and less specific things, leaving more and more free time for myself. I can have a lot of time to work on scientific research projects that interest me. "Zhao Yi said with a smile.
After listening to Zhao Yi's words, the old man unconsciously took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and lit it, thinking about something while smoking, which made Zhao Yi feel nervous.
After taking two puffs, he said: "You are still not used to smoking this cool grass at the beginning. It doesn't have that tobacco smell, but after smoking it a few times, it is obvious that it is much better than the previous tobacco.
At least physically I feel much better than before. For an elderly person like me, I no longer need to pay attention to the number of cigarettes I smoke, which is pretty good. "
"These are all games, and they don't deserve your praise." Zhao Yi said modestly.
"You kid, you are not polite at all. You can develop such a good thing for a game, so seriously, are you going to deny others a way to survive?" the old man said with a smile.
I didn't expect that my casual politeness would make me unable to get off the stage. I didn't know what to say for a moment, so I could only laugh and didn't answer.
Although Shuang Shen Cao has put a certain amount of energy into it, it doesn't matter how much attention it takes. Compared to high-end robots, it is indeed a game.
Seeing that Zhao Yi didn't answer, the old man suddenly lost his interest in joking. After putting out his cigarette, he said: "I invite you here this time because there are some things I want to ask you in person."
"Oh, please ask." Zhao Yi said.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the Industrial and Commercial Bureau below received a new company registered in your name, and one of the items in it said it was engaged in the research and development and manufacturing of robots.
We are not particularly unfamiliar with robots. They are also used in many industrial fields, and many of your products are even produced by you.
From a normal person's perspective, the robot R&D and manufacturing business of your newly registered company should be very different from traditional industrial robots. Otherwise, there is no need to register a new enterprise. asked the old man.
He didn't find it strange that the Industrial and Commercial Bureau paid so much attention to him. First, his companies would automatically hide his identity under normal circumstances, mainly to protect him.
Second, the industry he is engaged in is now a benchmark. Especially the first-level enterprises registered in his name will basically develop into industry giants and have to be taken seriously by the government.
"That's right. The robot R&D and manufacturing conducted by Xuantian Technology Company are indeed very different from traditional industrial robots. They are humanoid robots." Zhao Yi told the truth.
Hearing what he said, the old man sat up straight and asked, "Have you been studying humanoid robots in your private laboratory for nearly a year?"
Zhao nodded and said, "That's true. I didn't expect any results at first. I just felt bored and wanted to find some challenging work, so I studied humanoid robots."
When Zhao Yi said this, he tried to relax his tone. It seemed that it was really a boring research project. At present, he had no plans to disclose the high-end robot to the outside world. After all, it involved a lot.
"Seeing as you have started a company, have you already produced research results?" the old man asked.
"There are indeed some achievements. At least the relevant technology chains have been opened up. The important purpose of establishing Tianxuan Technology Company is to integrate these technologies." Zhao Yi said.
"Then what level has your robot reached now?"
"How should I put this? It's not as magical as in science fiction works, and of course it's not too bad. In terms of artificial intelligence level, it is more advanced than what Fanxing Software Company has, but it is not considered strong artificial intelligence.
If we have to make a comparison, it should be at a good level with the artificial intelligence backend used by Chinese education companies, which is currently in a leading position in the world.
The main difficult breakthrough for humanoid robots still lies in the breakthroughs related to the mechanical structure components and sensors of the robot. The technical content here is much higher than that of artificial intelligence. " Zhao Yi said.
In the final analysis, the housekeeping robot he launched is still an artificial intelligence based on commonly used algorithms. It is very different from the primary artificial intelligence he has and is not on the same level at all.
Of course, compared with other countries around the world that are still in the barbaric period of artificial intelligence, it is much more advanced. Even if they start catching up from now on, it will take other countries combined at least 20 years to reach similar levels. level.
This is not because he is arrogant and uses software technology frequently. Our country's current level is far higher than that of other countries in the world. Otherwise, Fanxing Software Company would not be able to conquer cities and territories around the world so unscrupulously.
Don't they know that Fanxing Software Company's doing this will pose a certain threat to their national security? It's just that they have no choice.
Based on their current technical level, if they want to boycott Fanxing Software Company, then their country's information technology will probably collapse directly. Therefore, even if they want to protect their country's industry, they need to reach a certain level of their own level. .
If there are not many alternative products, arbitrarily banning the products of Fanxing Software Company will only cause their country to fall further behind in the software and information industry.
In particular, the products of Fanxing Software Company are more targeted at the field of industrial enterprises. Without the products of Fanxing Software Company, the production costs and efficiency of enterprises will suffer a significant decline, and they will be even less competitive in the international market.
Even though Yingjiang has already landed on the moon, I think it should be much better than our country's current technology. In fact, this is not the case. With the technical strength of Future Space Technology Company, it is not that difficult to land on the moon.
The main reason why we continue to take one step at a time is to achieve our space goals while avoiding large losses and even making profits from it.
As a company, reputation is not particularly important. What is important is the ability to create value. When their International Space Station gradually takes shape after the year, they will immediately start lunar exploration and a series of related lunar development plans.
If it were a few years ago, he would have been afraid that his industry would be targeted by foreign countries, because at that time, his source of wealth was too dependent on foreign countries, and a slight change would have a big impact.
Moreover, at that time, our country's military strength was still very weak, and the national finances also faced certain difficulties. Even with advanced military equipment, it was difficult to achieve scale in a short period of time.
But the situation has undergone a fundamental reversal in the past two years. On the one hand, our technical strength is much higher than theirs, whether in the traditional industrial field or the high-tech field.
On the other hand, our country's modern military equipment has formed a certain scale, and its national defense strength has been greatly improved. The combat capabilities of the army and air force have been improved the most.
However, naval development is also proceeding intensively. Last year, various guided missile destroyers, frigates, and amphibious landing ships were put into water testing. Although there has not yet been large-scale deployment, the current testing situation is very good.
After the next year, it is estimated that these warships that have entered the water will be built on a large scale, and the construction of two large aircraft carriers will also begin. The technology will be at the leading level.
To be honest, the current international situation is that the Western camp headed by Yingjiang has no choice but to accept us as an important member of the international order.
This is caused by many factors. First, they still need to compete with the North. The competition has been for such a long time. It is impossible to temporarily change the target just because we have become stronger. Doing so will cause them greater losses.
Second, our country's economic and technological strength are developing so fast that they can no longer control it without paying attention. This is real hard power that is not dependent on human will.
Although our country does not publish various economic data every year like other countries, some conclusions can be drawn from our country's foreign trade development and people's salary levels.
Although our country does not speak out much internationally, unlike them who actively engage in various alliances and alliances, our strength is not something they can manipulate at will. In international affairs, more and more people are asking us to Views.
To be honest, if we are at the same level as them, or slightly inferior to them, in the absence of a bigger enemy, they will probably use any means to contain us.
But when our strength in all aspects is far ahead of theirs, the situation is likely to take a 180-degree turn. As a capitalist country, we will definitely not be united. Their so-called ideals are just confusing and unclear. condition person.
The most fundamental purpose is profit. As long as they feel that their interests will be greatly damaged if they conflict with us, they will not dare to do anything to us.
A few years ago, we had to keep a low profile as a last resort. Now we keep a low profile just because we don’t want to cause more trouble for the current international situation and we can do our own thing with peace of mind.
As long as we are strong enough, develop trade relations with various countries, and promote the economic development of other countries, the future will be on our side, and there will be no need to do so many things.
The old man is definitely not worried about leaks when he is so concerned about robots, because artificial intelligence is now widely used in many industries in our country.
Not to mention the use of artificial intelligence in various industries under its umbrella, the government affairs systems used in the government also have certain artificial intelligence, as well as the management systems used by various other enterprises, etc., all of which have more or less the shadow of artificial intelligence. .
It's just that the level of artificial intelligence here varies. The artificial intelligence level used by his companies is the highest on the market, followed by the delivery-related systems, which have even lower artificial intelligence levels.
This is not intentional, but based on the actual situation. The higher the level of artificial intelligence, the higher the computing power required, and even increases exponentially, so the cost of use will also increase.
Companies like his are giant companies, not only large in scale, but also very profitable. They have enough strength to bear the cost. For example, the data center of Hualong Clothing Company will cost tens of billions of yuan.
For many other companies, the value of the entire company is not that much. How can they afford such high-cost high-level artificial intelligence? They can only use lower-level artificial intelligence systems.
Moreover, when the scale of the enterprise is small, the gap between high-level artificial intelligence and low-level artificial intelligence is not particularly large. Instead, it is the peripheral systems surrounding artificial intelligence that are an important factor in determining the level of artificial intelligence.
In fact, in terms of the level of artificial intelligence, our country actually already has the conditions to manufacture robots. In addition to industrial robots, everyone feels that the demand for other robots is not that urgent.
Of course, robots not only involve artificial intelligence, but also many aspects. Although our country's technical level has improved a lot in recent years, the number of relevant scientific researchers has also increased significantly.
However, in terms of my country's current industrial scale and scientific research needs, this number of scientific research staff is simply not enough. It has always been in a state of shortage, and no one is willing to put limited energy into this.
More importantly, all artificial intelligence technology is currently produced by him, and only his companies are capable of artificial intelligence research and development. In the hands of other companies and scientific research institutions, there is no difference from the strength of foreign countries.
This situation was caused by him alone. He regarded artificial intelligence as one of the core competitiveness of his companies and did not disclose the technology to the outside world.
At first, he thought that other countries or institutions would use means to force his companies to disclose technical information related to artificial intelligence. However, this did not happen, at least not yet.
As for the reasons, he also has some guesses. First, it is difficult for the outside world to judge how far his companies have gone in the field of artificial intelligence.
It seems very smart from the outside, but it is unknown how much artificial intelligence is responsible for this, or whether there are other reasons behind it.
From the perspective of enterprise management systems, artificial intelligence is still at a relatively early stage. If many countries and companies are willing to develop it, they probably think they can develop it.
It’s just unclear whether the artificial intelligence they think they develop is true artificial intelligence. After all, lower-level artificial intelligence can achieve similar effects using some software algorithms and engineering techniques.
The effect of just patching it together is that it is difficult to apply it in more fields. Each specialized field requires specialized algorithms and applications. The cost is too high, and it is also very difficult to upgrade.
And the artificial intelligence he brought out, regardless of its level, is universal. Using a set of core artificial intelligence technologies, combined with peripheral systems in various application fields, various types of artificial intelligence applications can be formed.
Otherwise, there are hundreds of management systems under Fanxing Software Company, and each management system requires specialized artificial intelligence-like algorithms to be programmed.
Not to mention whether it has such strong algorithmic capabilities, even the cost is not something Fanxing Software Company can afford, let alone other companies or governments.
Unless Yingjiang shows the same courage as the original Manhattan Project and the Moon Landing Project, and does not hesitate to spend money to compete in this competition, otherwise, it is better to use what is ready-made. (End of chapter)
