Chapter 68: Money Still Not Enough

"The era of intelligent machines is coming, and tens of millions of families have ushered in new members!" -- Le Monde

Since the term "artificial intelligence" was proposed, "intelligent robots" have also followed. From the fantasy comic "Transformers" sweeping the world to the movie "Terminator", people have a clearer understanding of the concept of intelligent robots.

But along with it comes a variety of different ideas, are intelligent robots really as scientists say to better serve people's lives and make people's lives more comfortable and healthy?

Or like the Terminators, destroy their creators?

Human beings are always contradictory, but no matter what, with the advancement of science and technology, intelligent robots are finally coming!

On January 25th (Huaxia 26th), the intelligent robot of Huaxia Technology Crystallization Company - personal health assistant was officially launched!

"Cute Appearance - Big White Sweeps the World!" - The Times, UK

I have to say that the young chairman of the science and technology crystallization company, Mr. Cheng's far-sighted vision. The personal health assistant of Technology Crystallization Company adopts the image of Dabai in Disney's animated film "Super Marines", making the original hard, cold robot image simple and cute. A chubby body, a soft body, and an unparalleled speed and strength under the cute and cute appearance.

After an in-depth investigation by the reporter of this newspaper, people care more about the cute appearance of Dabai, rather than the connotation of technology!

The shape of the intelligent robot crystallized by science and technology has doubled the sales of their company's products! Perhaps the senior management of the Disney Company was lying on the desk at this time and wept bitterly, and the technology crystallization company only spent a few million yuan to obtain the right to use Dabai.

"30 million sales, Huaxia Science and Technology crystallization among the world's top high-tech enterprises!" -- Wall Street Journal

The world's most economical Wall Street Journal pointed out that the sales of intelligent robots of the technology crystallization company will bring the company a minimum profit of 500 billion US dollars!

Early the next morning, when Cheng Yuan, who was sitting in the office, saw the news, he smiled slightly.

$500 billion?

Maybe others will be crazy because of this number, but Cheng Yuan feels that it is far from enough!

Whether it is for the sake of him or the future of the company, this amount of funds simply cannot fill the bottomless pit of science and technology in his mind!

If nothing else, the cost of a fusion reactor alone is a huge expense, not only in terms of construction, but more importantly in terms of some embargoed materials. Without a strong background identity, you can't get a lot of materials even if you have the money.

Just looking at the country's nuclear fusion laboratory, which cost only tens of billions of dollars, I feel that I can make one for tens of billions of dollars.

Such an idea is just self-deception, and if you look at the problem comprehensively, what does state support represent?

Represents a lot of materials that are forbidden in the civil sector, where they can be obtained with the fastest speed and the lowest price.

And what about Cheng Yuan?

If he wants to build a nuclear fusion reactor independently, not to mention the basic construction costs, the cost of materials, purchase channels, and safety approvals from various departments are bottomless.

Maybe for the sake of Cheng Yuan's genius brain, the people above will relax some conditions, but the specific price of this construction is not easy to say.

Hundreds of billions of dollars can't run!

After all, Cheng Yuan's ability to make money today is obvious to all.

In addition to the nuclear fusion reactor, there is also the imitation Iron Man laboratory that he has already conceived in his mind, which will cost hundreds of billions of dollars according to the calculation of zero! Some people may think that it is too exaggerated, although such a laboratory looks lofty, but the investment of tens of billions of yuan should be about the same!

After all, the main artificial intelligence in the laboratory is already far away, and the supercomputer will cost billions of dollars at most. No matter how expensive the rest of the building materials are, you don't need that much, right!?

But in fact, the gap between the two worlds is also very different, as mentioned before, the technological gap between the two worlds has increased the price of basic materials on both sides several times. Cheng Yuan is not going to build a second-class and problematic laboratory.

Otherwise, hundreds of billions of dollars will never be able to run.

After all, making high-quality transistors that can achieve physical projection is a bottomless pit of expense, maybe building a laboratory bench can reduce a lot of money, but Cheng Yuan's goal is to make holographic projections all over the laboratory, that is to say, his laboratory must install such high-quality transistors in the walls from beginning to end, and the laboratory walls themselves also need to have strong light transmission, which can not only make the transistors not interfered with by external dust, but also maintain the beauty of the laboratory and the accidental damage of the transistors, etc.

The technology contained in such a high-end laboratory cannot be leveled by a few simple special effects on a movie!

Hundreds of billions of dollars, or zero calculations, without the slightest mistake in construction! Once there is a mistake in the construction process, then the cost needs to be increased indefinitely!

Therefore, $500 billion seems like a lot, but in Cheng Yuan's eyes, it is far from enough, just these two technologies have to swallow up this seemingly huge amount of money, not to mention that there are still many graphene materials in his hands to be developed.

In addition, he now has to consider many external factors, such as the construction of the company's premises, the expansion of the factory, the salary and benefits of employees, and a series of other messes.

Which of these doesn't require money?

The most important thing is that Cheng Yuan already has complete scientific and technological knowledge in his mind, which requires such a huge expense. So, what will be the cost of research institutes and scientific institutions that need to conduct research experiments step by step?

This cost will definitely multiply dozens of times!

And it also depends on the faces and conditions of those funders, once there is a problem with funding, then the whole experiment will come to a standstill.

This is also one of the problems that is difficult for the development of science.

Therefore, technology is a money-burning thing, and if the investment is not proportional to the gain, few people will be willing to throw their money bags into these bottomless pits.

And Cheng Yuan is undoubtedly the luckiest, his harvest far exceeds the investment!

Knock knock!

Just when Cheng Yuan lamented that the money was not enough to spend, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in. ”

A woman of about twenty-five or sixteen in a professional skirt walked in with a stack of papers, her figure was convex and delicate, her long wavy shawl hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her delicate face with some light makeup made her whole person look bright and radiant, with a charming temperament.

She is Zheng Jia's assistant for Cheng Yuan, named Fang Jing. is responsible for helping him sort out the trivial things in life.

As Fang Jing entered the office, Cheng Yuan immediately smelled a faint fragrance. He rubbed his nose with some discomfort, looked at his life assistant, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Chairman, this is an invitation letter from Huaxia University of Science and Technology, inviting you to go to the school on March 9 to give an opening speech. Then here's also an invitation to your high school school and an invitation to a high school reunion. Fang Jing glanced at Cheng Yuan lightly, as if she didn't notice his nose rubbing, and took out three red invitations from the stack of documents she was holding in her arms and put them in front of him.

Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows, looked at the three invitations on the table, and his expression revealed a sense of helplessness. The so-called success and fame is that while being famous, it is also accompanied by all kinds of disturbing chores. These three invitations are a symbol.

Needless to say, the university's opening speech is a way for the leaders of Huaxia University of Science and Technology to encourage students and at the same time increase the reputation of the school itself. After all, there is no first, no second, no matter in which industry, competition is indispensable.

Huaxia University of Science and Technology finally came up with such a figure as Cheng Yuan, if it is not used for publicity, doesn't it seem that the school's leaders are very incompetent?

A university, the school not only needs to absorb high-scoring students, but also needs to accommodate some gilded students who come in. After all, the development of the school is also inseparable from money, although this is suspected of discrediting the school, but this is the norm in society.

Although it is said that key universities have state support funds, these support funds cannot support the development of the university at all. Therefore, some necessary means must be available.

In addition to college, Cheng Yuan used to go to Anhe High School, and invited him not only to enhance the popularity of the school itself, but also to get some financial support. Otherwise, when Cheng Yuan first became famous with Dabai, why didn't they invite themselves over?

However, these two invitations Cheng Yuan is really hard to shirk, after all, it is his alma mater, if he shirks it at will, it will definitely become a handle for people with a heart, although Cheng Yuan doesn't care, but he doesn't want his family to be blamed by outsiders.

After all, people can't just live for themselves.

As for the third class reunion, Cheng Yuan sneered, he was not popular in school at the beginning, in the impression of all his classmates, he was just a nerd who could read, whether it was an event or an ordinary assembly, Cheng Yuan had always been the one who was excluded.

Now these so-called classmates invite themselves, and they know with their toes what those people are planning.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Yuan instructed Fang Jing: "Help me talk to the leaders of Huaxia University of Science and Technology, I accept their invitation, after all, I am also a student of Huaxia University of Science and Technology." ”

"What about the other two invitations?" Fang Jing wondered.

Cheng Yuan waved his hand casually and said, "Help me refuse, you go and tell Mr. Zheng that I will pay 5 million from the Finance Department to Anhe High School, which can be regarded as my feedback to the school." ”

"Hmm. Fang Jing nodded in response, then put away the invitation and took out another document. "This is Mr. Zheng's new plan on the project arrangement, mainly to speed up the construction of the project, Mr. Zheng wants to invite another construction company, and at the same time build other buildings on our company's new land, this matter needs to be signed and confirmed. ”

New plans?

Cheng Yuan took the document curiously and looked through it, and the content in it was roughly the same as what Fang Jing said.

As for the details, Cheng Yuan didn't ask much and nodded and signed directly.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Yuan handed the document to Fang Jing.

"No more. Fang Jing shook her head and said, "There were originally some business gatherings, but Mr. Zheng said that you were busy with work and couldn't spare time, so I helped you shirk it." ”

Cheng Yuan nodded, for those so-called business gatherings, Cheng Yuan has no time to waste there, it is better to discuss with zero how to use graphene materials to bring maximum profits to himself. waved his hand and said, "Okay, then you go out first, I'll call you if there's something." ”

(I just came back, I sat in the car for four hours, and I was weak~~ By the way, a book friend asked me for a group number, and I built one for Xiaohei and published it in the book review.) )
