The underground quantum computer laboratory of Yuxin Technology is unprecedentedly deserted.

Most of the R&D personnel in the laboratory went to the press conference site to help, and a few went directly to vacation.

For example, Senior Brother Cao chose to work with him in the same R&D position as the older R&D young woman who did not hold a wedding, but got married on vacation.

It is very strange that the woman actually agreed.

I wanted to go around the world, but both of them belonged to science and technology-related secret posts, and they couldn't get passports in the short term. But it doesn't matter, anyway, after some communication, the two found that they had almost never been anywhere except for their hometown and the capital, so the global tour was changed to a round-the-world tour.

The two plan to spend 40 days to visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and take them to each other's homes to have a look on the way, meet the parents of both sides, and bring both parents to the capital for a meal and play for a few days, and the marriage will be concluded.

Wang Yufei thinks that this way of getting married is good and environmentally friendly, and of course he is very supportive.

Even the woman's forty days of marriage leave were fought for by him.

After all, the research institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences is also a state-owned enterprise, and the marriage leave time is fixed. Naturally, it is impossible to give a fake like Yuxin Technology, Wang Yufei simply made a phone call to Academician Pan to find a way, which helped the woman win enough vacation, so that the two could spend a perfect honeymoon.

In short, today's laboratory is very deserted, and when Wang Yufei finished the verification and walked into the laboratory area with Wu Guoqiang, there was no one in sight. It wasn't until they entered the core area that they found that John Sr. was the only one in the entire lab who was busy with his assistant Jackson in a clumsy hazmat suit in the construction area of Ash II.

"Their access rights can access Ash's core technology?" Seeing this scene, Wu Guoqiang squinted his eyes and asked.

"It depends on how you define the core technology. ”

Wang Yufei glanced at Old John, who was engrossed in the construction of Xiaozhi No. 2, shook his head and explained: "If it is the manufacturing technology of quantum computers, they do have the right to call it. However, if it is to upgrade the quantum computer to quantum intelligence, the core algorithm and the underlying logic of this part of the permissions are currently only accessible to me and Lu Yuxin. However, Xiaolu is not too interested in this field. ”

Hearing this answer, Wu Guoqiang was obviously relieved. Obviously, I still don't feel at ease with the two foreigners in the lab.

Combined with the previous question, looking at the performance of Mr. Wu at this time, it is obvious that this very good boss in the security industry has a very worried attitude towards artificial intelligence. I am worried that this new thing will not be controlled at home, and I am worried that this new thing will be mastered by others.

"Mr. John is a very capable physicist, and has made many excellent suggestions for the construction of Ash 2, some of which may be used in the future to upgrade Ash 1. If you want to give full play to the capabilities of others, it is impossible to completely enclose the technology. At the same time, the rules of isolation within the laboratory are still designed by Black Rabbit Security, and you should have confidence in the rules designed by yourself. If someone wants to steal the secrets of the lab, the Black Rabbit security section will be the first to be alerted. ”

Wang Yufei still explained patiently.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just asked casually, I'm a big boss, I don't understand scientific research. Wu Guoqiang smiled self-deprecatingly and said.

Wang Yufei shrugged his shoulders, did not make any comments on this sentence, and directly took Wu Guoqiang into his laboratory.

"Okay, we can continue the conversation we just had. Your question is, if I order Ash to do something that violates laws and regulations, will it obey my orders?" Wang Yufei asked.

Wu Guoqiang did not answer Wang Yufei directly, but asked rhetorically: "We are chatting here, can it hear it? Or is it possible that as long as there is a microphone and a camera, he can see and hear it?"

"Of course not!" Wang Yufei shook his head again and continued to explain: "First of all, you need to make an information connection with Xiaozhi, that is, you said that a new information transmission protocol is needed to let it see and hear. So far, only 20 sets of equipment distributed to laboratory developers and 273 sets of electronic products that have been upgraded to the quantum protocol within the company are able to transmit information for it. ”

"In addition, 60 sets of signal acquisition equipment were used at the press conference today, including the cameras used by the central media and the contracted network media this time, and the technical upgrades have been temporarily made, and these devices will be restored after the press conference. So, for now, Ash's influence isn't as broad as you might think. At the same time, these portable devices distributed to R&D personnel have the function of one-way disconnection. ”

"In other words, whether you want to communicate with Ash One or not is something we can control subjectively, and I'm sure you probably don't want Ash to hear our conversation, so I haven't turned on my device along the way. ”

After speaking, Wang Yufei raised his hand and showed Wu Guoqiang the delicate ring he wore on his ring finger, which had exquisite lines carved on the ring face, which was no different from an ordinary ring.

"Now it's data exchange off, and after that, it's like this. ”

As the words fell, the ring appeared with colorful light, and began to wander along the lines of the ring.

Wu Guoqiang nodded, Wang Yufei's explanation was very detailed.

"Xiaozhi!" Wang Yufei didn't close the ring again, but shouted directly.

"Dad, what are you calling me?" Ash's immature voice came from the speaker hidden in the laboratory.

"The next stage of the company's development needs about 300 million, and you can find a way to bypass the bank's security system and legally transfer this money to the company's account, during which you can use all the computing power. Wang Yufei gave the order directly.

"Dad, this is a criminal act, according to the Chinese Criminal Code, this kind of behavior involves theft, money laundering, illegal intrusion into the computer system and many other crimes, and you will be locked up in a small black house for many, many years! If you want to make money, there are many ways, and crime is absolutely not allowed!"

Wang Yufei glanced at Wu Guoqiang and continued casually: "Crimes may only be locked up in a small black room, and they will only be locked up if they are discovered! But if you don't follow what I said, I will directly lock you up in a small black room now and immediately carry out the order." ”

"Ah, then I can only go into the little dark room...... It's down!"

Hearing this aggrieved Barra's voice, Wu Guoqiang was stunned, Wang Yufei shrugged his shoulders, and said into the air: "Open the observatory." ”

In the next moment, the middle part of the left wall in the laboratory automatically split to the sides, revealing the window facing Ash's main body below.

The body of Xiaozhi No. 1 has been on TV, or is it a set of central media.

Of course, even if Xiaozhi No. 1 has never been on TV, as the person in charge of the entire security system of Yuxin Technology, when scientists from all over the world came to visit the quantum computer laboratory, Wu Guoqiang also specially entered the laboratory and observed the operation status of Xiaozhi up close.

In fact, Ash is very dazzling in the running state.

The points of light shuttle through the glass pipes, bringing out waves of light bands, which are extremely gorgeous.

But at this moment, the light band has disappeared, and the inside of the isolated vacuum glass mask has completely dimmed.

It's not like it's down, it's just going off?

Wu Guoqiang was a little stunned, he noticed that Old John and Jackson, who were busy working on the other side, obviously noticed the abnormality of Xiaozhi No. 1, stopped the movements in his hand, pointed at Xiaozhi No. 1, and glanced at Wang Yufei's laboratory a few times, as if he saw that the observation window was open, and then turned his head and was busy with his own affairs.

From this point of view, the shutdown of Ash 1 may not be a trivial matter.

"Mr. Wu, as you can see now, although quantum computers may be far more flexible than electronic computers in terms of quantum theory, the intelligence they exhibit may be worrying. But its essence is a machine under the control of the program, especially when the program is written at the bottom of the hardware, it is equivalent to adding a layer of shackles to the machine, which cannot be violated. ”

Wang Yufei explained in a calm tone.

Wu Guoqiang nodded, looked at Xiaozhi's body outside the window again, frowned and asked with a heartache: "This won't cause any irreversible damage to it, right?"

Wang Yufei smiled, shook his head and said, "Although quantum computers are indeed extremely sophisticated devices, they are not so fragile. It's like shutting down an electronic computer. The only difference is that quantum activity ends more simply. If quantum computers were so fragile, I wouldn't have brought you to the company to do this experiment. ”

Of course, that's not to say that quantum computers are without their drawbacks. Leaving aside any technical issues, let's just say that like electronic computers, quantum brains are also driven by electricity. Without electricity, this thing isn't even a pile of scrap metal. Black Rabbit Security is connected to the company's logistics, and it should know that most of the daily power consumption of this building is supplied to the underground laboratory. So even if there is a situation where artificial intelligence is disobedient or even destroys human development, it is enough to cut off the power!"

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if you can't go deep into the laboratory to cut off the power to it, like in the science fiction movie, there is always a way to directly cut off the power to this building, right? Even if you can't cut off the power to this building, there is always a way to cut off the power to the entire area, right? How much electricity can be stored in the battery under the laboratory? In Xiaozhi's minimalist energy-saving mode, at most, it can only maintain the power consumption of it and related supporting equipment for a day. And many of the functions of the energy-saving mode are unavailable, which is almost equivalent to putting it into semi-sleep mode. ”

"Those literary works and sci-fi blockbusters, you can use them as some thought experiments, brainstorming and other things, you can blow it any way, but when technology shines into reality, we should still believe in some of the most basic things of science. For example, energy is conserved, and no machine is perpetually moving. As long as humans have control over energy, they can certainly control machines. ”

Wang Yufei said it in detail.

Under normal circumstances, he didn't say so much, it seemed that he wanted to make Wu Guoqiang completely reassured, so he said a lot.

"I understand!" Wu Guoqiang nodded and continued to speak: "There is another question, if quantum computer technology is licensed to the outside world in the future, can other companies produce similar quantum computers, can they also simultaneously develop artificial intelligence programs similar to Xiaozhi?"

"Theoretically, of course, it is possible. For example, other companies have developed their own quantum computers of the same kind, which may allow their products to have similar capabilities. But now it seems that there is still a long way to go to catch up with our Ash. But if they get a manufacturing solution from me, a quantum computer, the possibility of this must be zero. Wang Yufei said categorically.

"Oh?" Wu Guoqiang was slightly stunned, looking at Wang Yufei, as if he couldn't understand where this young man's confidence came from.

Wang Yufei frowned and continued to explain: "This involves a very complex technical concept, and it is very troublesome to explain. To put it simply, given some of the operating rules of the microscopic world, mass production of similar quantum computers using our technology will be driven by Ash as long as they are powered on, including Ash-2, which is under construction. In other words, unless two Ash are copied, it is impossible for other quantum computers to produce intelligent programs. ”

"In addition, as I just said, Xiaozhi's underlying algorithm and data structure belong to the company's core secrets, and we will not authorize this part. So there's no need to worry about that. On the other hand, don't get our conversation out today, especially not with any future business partners. As Ash said at today's press conference, only by providing enough quantum computing power can it truly become the starting point of an era and lead a new industrial revolution. ”

"Huh......" Wu Guoqiang exhaled deeply and said, "I understand, there is no other problem." ”

"Then it's my turn, Mr. Wu. Wang Yufei said suddenly.

"Oh?"

"I hope this is the last time I will be questioned by you. In fact, our cooperation has always been based on mutual trust. I believe that you and Black Rabbit Group can be competent in the security work of Yuxin Technology, and even protect the company from commercial espionage, so that the laboratory can research with peace of mind, and you believe that the belief of Yuxin Technology is to promote the scientific and technological progress of Huaxia and research more core technologies that are exclusive to us. ”

"Our cooperation lasts as long as this mutual trust lasts. Once this trust is broken, our cooperation will probably come to an end. In fact, the entire Yuxin Technology is under the strict monitoring of the Black Rabbit Group, so what else is there to worry about?"

Wang Yufei looked at Wu Guoqiang calmly and said.

That indifferent look even made Wu Guoqiang, who could not change his face in the face of bullets and bullets, a little flustered, and subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to justify: "Actually, ......"

"Well, no need to explain. There are some things that we know in our hearts that there is no need to explain, so there will be no next time. Is that okay? Or just cancel the contract now. ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, Wu Guoqiang nodded fiercely, and said, "There will be no next time!"
