Chapter 989: The Light of Artificial Intelligence, a New Form of Glimmer Light!
Even if the "Planet Shield" project is established, it will not be easy to operate smoothly, especially when it involves the coordination and cooperation of six to seven thousand launch towers. The amount of calculation involved is too large, and it cannot be done by manpower.
of.
So Qin Ke came up with the idea of making LV5's Shimmer the core artificial intelligence of the "Planet Shield" project early on.
To achieve this goal, not only must Weiguang continuously optimize the algorithms of related neural networks, but more importantly, during the construction process, a large number of sensors, RFID tags (radio frequency tags), cameras, and GPS must be embedded in various functional components of the transmitting base tower.
Only after the sensing terminal can these functional components be integrated into the low-light neural network to achieve automatic detection and automatic control.
This is by no means an easy task. A large number of IoT technologies must be fully considered during the construction of the transmission tower, such as RFID technology (radio frequency identification technology) - a very common sensor technology in the IoT, which can identify targets through radio signals.
"Identity", "purpose", "location", "status" and other data information; such as micro-electromechanical system technology (MEMS), which enables each component to become an integrated micro-device, forming a huge sensory network...
Internet of Things technology involves all aspects, some are relatively mature, and some are still just on paper. All of them require Qin Ke to lay out in advance the design plan of the "planetary shield" and add relevant requirements, so that after thousands of launch base towers are completed, micro
Light Energy successfully takes over their management and controls every functional component of them.
Qin Ke's idea caused a lot of controversy.
Among these more than 10,000 scientists, there are not many experts involved in the fields of artificial intelligence and automated control. They know that the current AI technology seems to be developing rapidly, but in fact it is still at a relatively basic application level. Even unmanned autonomous driving technology has
Not fully realized.
As for the "planetary shield" design plan that is far from being fully finalized, it can be seen that any launch tower is far more complicated than an electric car.
Under such conditions, trying to use AI to control thousands of such launch towers to withstand "super giant solar storms" is simply a fantasy.
Said Frick, a well-known automation and industrial control expert, expressed his attitude tactfully: "Academician Qin, would it be better to consider the actual situation again? After all, it is more difficult to achieve such a goal than to build a launch base from scratch.
tower."
Said Frick's words represent the views of dozens of experts. If it weren't for Qin Ke's high prestige, there would certainly be many people who would express clear opposition.
Qin Ke naturally knew the concerns of these experts. He had also hesitated, but what he hesitated was whether super artificial intelligence like Shiguang should appear in front of everyone?
But considering that Shimmer's intervention could at least increase the success probability of the "Planet Shield" plan by 30%, Qin Ke decided to stick to his point of view.
If you want to convince many experts, you need to have tangible evidence to at least let them see a greater possibility of success within four years.
Fortunately, Qin Ke happened to be well prepared for this.
He had already started research work on "robot manufacturing" and "intelligent application" four or five years ago. However, his main purpose at that time was to create intelligent robots to serve as teachers in mountainous areas, so that students in mountainous areas could receive education equal to
The purpose of urban equity education.
To this end, Qin Ke asked Zhou Shutao, CEO of Qing Ning Technology, to contact Xu Guanxiong, Sun Bingfei's second-generation rich man and deputy general manager of Els Company, to establish a joint venture R&D company with the capital injection of Qing Ning Technology.
The company specializes in the research and development of intelligent robot applications. (For this part of the story, if readers have forgotten it, please read back to Chapter 638)
Els Intelligent Automation Technology Co., Ltd. is the largest listed company in China engaged in industrial intelligence and robot research and development, and its technical strength is quite strong in the country.
Xu Guanxiong is a typical rich second generation, because the chairman of Ayers Company is his father, which gives him extremely strong resource mobilization ability. Moreover, he is also a top student who graduated from Stanford University majoring in automation, and has a very high technical foundation.
Definitely not an embroidered pillow.
Out of gratitude to Qin Ke, Xu Guanxiong personally took charge of this company called "Ling Ning Els United Technology R&D Company" and also recruited several highly skilled and experienced engineers from the head office to start intelligent applications.
Research.
After later communicating with Qin Ke, Qin Ke said that he would be responsible for artificial intelligence. Xu Guanxiong focused the company's research on sensor technology, micro-electromechanical system technology, and robot intelligent manufacturing, the three basic directions of intelligent applications.
As Qin Ke's reputation grew and he became one of the world's top scientists, Els also became a "Qin Ke concept stock" because of this joint venture technology subsidiary. The stock price soared. In just a short period of time,
It has increased twenty-fold in a few years and has become a veritable bull stock.
Whether it was due to the need for market value management or to close the relationship with Qin Ke, Els Company decided to strongly support this "Lime Els United Technology R&D Company" and did not hesitate to inject the main robot research and development team into it.
Among them, a large number of domestic first-class experts have been hired with high salaries, and they are determined to build it into the No. 1 technology company in the domestic "intelligent application" technology field.
The wealthy Qing Ning Technology has also continuously injected capital into it. Abundant funds and a strong technical team have enabled the "Ling Ning Els United Technology R&D Company" to develop rapidly. After several years of accumulation, this company has now
It has a large number of original patented technologies.
However, Qin Ke has been busy with various researches over the years, and has basically a "free-range" attitude towards this company. At most, he occasionally reads the second half annual report and annual report.
He knows very well that even though the company's technology is relatively advanced in the country, robots involve many disciplines such as cybernetics, mechatronics, computers, materials and bionics. If he wants to achieve the goal of being a robot teacher in mountainous areas, at least more work must be done.
Invested more than ten and twenty years in research and development.
It wasn't until the end of November last year, after Qin Ke successfully upgraded Weiguang to LV5, that he accidentally remembered this company. Looking closely at the latest report, he found that it had made great progress in the basic fields of intelligent applications and could
We provide mechanical automation components, high-precision sensor components, and micromotor control components to many major international manufacturers.
Qin Ke contacted Xu Guanxiong on the phone and asked him to arrange for engineers to install Weiguang's "terminal interface program" into the company's server cluster, and then opened an interface for the company's engineers to use, allowing them to call Weiguang's
Part of the computing power resources realize the core functions of "artificial intelligence".
To this end, Qin Ke also took the time on the flight to Sweden to write an advanced automated control algorithm and implant it into Weiguang, so that Weiguang could try to integrate sensor technology, micro-electromechanical system technology, and the robot body.
Really play the role of artificial intelligence as the center of automated control neural networks.
It’s just that he was too busy in the past six months and couldn’t spare much time to optimize this advanced automatic control algorithm. He could only rely on Xiaoguang’s own learning mechanism and slowly upgrade himself through exploration.
Now, in order to give hope to those experts who lack confidence in artificial intelligence, Qin Ke plans to invest part of his energy in this "Lime Els United Technology R&D Company".
…
May 14th happened to be the weekend. It rained heavily in the suburbs of Beijing. The temperature was in the teens and 10 degrees Celsius, which was relatively comfortable.
This is already the twelfth rain in recent months. Thanks to the large number of water storage reservoirs built last year and the year before, it can fully accommodate this abundant rainfall and use it as a four-month period of high-temperature weather starting next month.
The reserve of fresh water resources in dry weather is simply the most suitable.
Therefore, the whole country has expressed great tolerance for the continuous spring rain, even if it affects their travel to a certain extent.
It was on such a rainy day that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, escorted by Wei Feng and Wei Jing, arrived at the "Ling Ning Els United Technology R&D Company" about 20 kilometers away from Qingmu University.
The company had already received the news. Not only Xu Guanxiong had been waiting at the door early, but his father, Xu Licheng, the chairman of Els Company, as well as a group of senior executives, the company's main R&D team leaders and engineers, all came out.
welcome.
Xu Licheng was also an engineer by training, and he built a career in the business world from scratch. However, the real take-off of Els Company was because his son met Qin Ke and opened this joint technology research and development company with Qing Ning Technology.
It is not surprising that Xu Licheng paid so much attention to Qin Ke's visit.
The company has an underground parking lot, and there is a glass awning in front of the company gate to protect them from the rain. However, in order to show sincerity, Xu Licheng still chose to wait together with umbrellas in front of the company's compound.
Soon, several identical cars arrived in front of the company compound. A group of well-dressed men in black got out of the car first, took over the security of the entire venue, checked everyone present with instruments, and only passed the intercom after ensuring safety.
After saying "safety", more than 20 cars drove in.
Xu Licheng had no idea which car Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were sitting in. He was about to take a few steps forward to greet them, but was politely stopped by a man.
Then someone came to the car door holding a big umbrella, and someone else bent down to open the door. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun got out of the car.
Seeing this scene, Xu Licheng and others were secretly stunned. The pomp of Academician Qin was much more exaggerated than that of many big shots, and their attitude was even more respectful.
In fact, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were quite helpless about such exaggerated behavior, but Wei Feng and Wei Jing both insisted that it was the instruction from their superiors to ensure the safety of the two academicians to the greatest extent, so Qin Ke could only slow down.
Getting used to it slowly.
Qin Ke recognized Xu Licheng at a glance. The chairman was very similar to his son Xu Guanxiong, but he was more energetic and capable.
Qin Ke smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Hello, Mr. Xu."
Ning Qingyun also greeted him: "Hello, Mr. Xu." But she did not extend her hand. She was not in the habit of shaking hands with others, especially when the other person was a male.
I don't know whether it was the aura of the men in black before or Qin Ke's natural demeanor as a great scientist. Xu Licheng, who was in charge of a large enterprise with thousands of people, was a little nervous. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Qin Ke: "Academician Qin.
, Academician Ning, I have long admired the reputation of this virtuous couple as the ‘pillars of the country’, and it is a great honor to meet them today.”
Qin Ke still had a good impression of him, and said warmly: "Guan Xiong and I are on equal terms. If Director Xu doesn't mind, how about I call you 'Uncle Xu'?"
"I don't think so. Academician Qin, Academician Ning, please come over here." Qin Ke was polite. Xu Licheng didn't dare to climb high. Yes, high climbing, even though he is also the chairman of a large listed company worth hundreds of billions, but
In front of top scientists like Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, who can influence an industry or even determine the survival of a company with just one sentence, they really have no room for arrogance.
And he has seen Qin Ke's ability with his own eyes. Since the artificial intelligence terminal port provided by Qin Ke was opened to engineers half a year ago, the company's mechanical intelligent automation level has improved by leaps and bounds. Most machines can use that artificial intelligence
To achieve precise automated control, some components can also be completed by it. Its level of intelligence is staggering.
For example now...
"Zi——" The sound of the machine's engine was heard, and a robot with a white body and black circular decoration walked over from the company's entrance, holding an umbrella in its hand.
Its whole body is streamlined, its head is round, its face is a semi-arc black screen, and emoticons and text can be displayed, and its walking movements are very smooth.
Wei Feng and Wei Jing, who were standing next to Qin Ke, both had surprised expressions on their faces. You can tell the level of technology and intelligence of a robot just by watching it walk. The robot in front of you has a cute appearance, and every part of its body is round, but
The walking movements are almost the same as those of humans!
Wei Feng and Wei Jing are considered people who have seen the world, and they have never seen a robot that gives people such a "live" feeling!
Yes, vivid. Just from the extremely natural steps and arm swings, you can feel the "vivid" atmosphere that is unique to living creatures such as humans and animals.
What is this? Wei Feng and Wei Jing nervously stood in front of Qin Ke.
The men in black all around immediately stepped forward to stop the robot.
Qin Ke waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, let it come over."
Qin Ke spoke, and Wei Feng hesitated for a moment before waving his hands for everyone to move away. He and Wei Jing were still closely guarding Qin Kening's side.
The white robot came about one meter in front of Qin Ke, stopped, bowed and said, "Welcome Master Qin Ke, Master Qingjun." Its voice was full of mechanical sound quality, but its tone was also extremely natural.
Xu Licheng and others had seen this robot when they came to inspect the company, and representatives from various engineers had been in contact with it frequently. They were already used to the high intelligence of this robot, but when they saw it saluting Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun and calling it master, they were stunned.
Wei Feng and others were stunned.
Chapter completed!
