"Liu Lang, I want to ask you a question? I don't know if it's okay?"

Suddenly, among the young people in front of him, a person walked out, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a pair of myopic glasses, and it looked like a college student who had just graduated for a short time.

"Wang Haijun, you have gone to work at the Jiangnan Radio Factory!"

Before Liu Lang could speak, a graduate student from the School of Electronics of Huaxia University spoke up, obviously they knew each other.

"Liu Lang, his name is Wang Haijun, he is an alumnus of our Huaxia University in the seventh and ninth sessions, and he is also a top student of the School of Electronics, and he was assigned to work here after graduation!"

The graduate student from Huaxia University hurriedly explained.

"It turned out to be a senior! Our Huaxia University is really full of peach and plum all over the world!"

Liu Lang said with a smile.

"Liu Lang, we are not only alumni, in fact, we are still fellow villagers, I am also from Fucheng!"

Wang Haijun replied with a smile.

"What? Brother Wang is also from Fucheng, where are you from?"

Liu Lang was shocked, it was not easy to meet a fellow countryman in Shanghai, and the relationship between the two became much closer all of a sudden.

"I live there at the Seven Wells Mine!"

The other party replied.

"Qijing Mine, then you are rich people in Fucheng!"

Liu Lang said with a smile.

Fucheng is a city because of coal mines, there are several coal mines in the city, what a well, two wells, three wells, each "well" represents a pit, each pit mouth can produce nearly 1,000 tons of coal a year, and at the same time, a group of miners and their families live around each pit.

The wages of the miners working in the mine are higher than the wages of other units, and the wages of front-line workers are much higher than those of the mayor of Fucheng, which can be said to be a high-paid class in Fucheng.

It is not easy for Wang Haijun to be admitted to university as a family member of a miner, and it is even more rare to be admitted to Huaxia University, such a talent may become a pillar of the country in more than ten years, but why hasn't Liu Lang heard of it?

"Liu Lang, you are the pride of our hometown! Now there is a statue of you in front of the train station, and our Fucheng is famous because of you!"

Wang Haijun smiled slightly.

"What? There's a statue of me in front of the Fucheng train station? Why don't I know?"

Liu Lang was taken aback.

In the previous life, there was indeed a statue on the square of Fucheng Railway Station, of course, it was not his Liu Lang's, but the first athlete in Fucheng to win the World Championship in race walking.

Liu Lang didn't know about this at all, after all, he was now traveling home by special car, and he hadn't done a train for more than a year.

"Standing in front of the train station without my permission is too much!"

Liu Lang was furious, but now was not the time to discuss the issue.

"Brother Wang, I just said that there is a problem, what is the problem?"

Wang Haijun is a top student majoring in semiconductors, and Liu Lang's hometown, Liu Lang feels that if the other party has potential, it must be cultivated well.

"Liu Lang, what you just said about the three industrial revolutions is really great, there is no such description in the textbooks, which makes me have a sense of enlightenment, I just want to ask, if the third industrial revolution continues to develop, is there a new revolution? If so, what kind of revolution will it be?"

"A new revolution?"

Wang Haijun's question made Liu Lang stunned.

This revolution certainly has, more than thirty years later known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, marked by intelligent and personalized manufacturing brought about by the rise of big data and artificial intelligence.

It's just that Liu Lang didn't mention this revolution, after all, it's eighty-five years now, and even Americans don't realize the arrival of the third industrial revolution, let alone the fourth.

I can tell you clearly that the fourth industrial revolution is developed on the basis of the third one, a bigger revolution, its core is still based on chips, but the chip at that time has been completely different, it has wisdom, has its own way of computing, is the father of the computer Turing said artificial intelligence, under the powerful computing power of artificial intelligence, our way of life has undergone earth-shaking changes, it is not at all what modern people can think of! ”

Of course, Liu Lang can't go into too much detail, he can only summarize it in one word.

"Intelligence, you say that the core of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is intelligence?"

Unlike other people's "confused" state, Wang Haijun was extremely excited when he heard the word intelligence.

"That's right, this is artificial intelligence, Turing proposed it more than thirty years ago, and thirty years later, this technology will appear, and its arrival will completely change our human society!"

Liu Lang nodded.

"By the way, the Navy, when we graduated two years ago, I wrote a graduation speech, but I still remember your graduation speech, doesn't it mean that one day in the future, artificial intelligence will definitely appear, and human beings will eventually be obtained by artificial intelligence!"

The graduate student who followed Liu Lang remembered what happened two years ago.

"Talent, absolute talent!"

Liu Lang finally found a "baby", students who can pay attention to artificial intelligence in the early eighties, I'm afraid there are few in the United States, as long as such a person is given a chance, he can definitely shine, this person, in his previous life, was also an expert in the field of intelligence, but I don't know, and in this life......... Be sure to cultivate it well.

"Hehe, that's just my momentary thought!"

Wang Haijun smiled and shook his head.

"Brother Wang, as long as the computer chip continues to improve its function, once it breaks through a threshold, the emergence of artificial intelligence is inevitable, which is indisputable, but Turing's artificial intelligence is to have self-awareness, which is very complicated.

What is self-awareness and how does it come about?

In my imagination, I can't imagine when such artificial intelligence will appear, maybe a hundred years from now, maybe it won't appear, everything is possible!"

Liu Lang did not deny Wang Haijun's claim.

"Yes, maybe the fifth industrial revolution is the emergence of self-aware artificial intelligence!"

Wang Haijun replied with a smile.

"That's right, in fact, when the third industrial revolution comes, it's not just industry that will change, it's going to change the whole human society, and everything will be different from tradition.

And when the fourth industrial revolution comes, it is further than the third industrial revolution, the gap between the two is greater than the gap between the previous three industrial revolutions, even scientists at the forefront of science and technology can not imagine what kind of changes the fourth industrial revolution will make our lives, this is the power of scientific and technological development, it is so big that it is beyond everyone's imagination!"

Liu Lang and Wang Haijun's conversation except for Wanhe team and a few other people, no one can understand, what artificial intelligence, what self-awareness? Many people have never even heard of these words, the only thing they are sure of is that Liu Lang is not there to "break blind", even if they can't understand, but there are still people who can understand some, which proves that Liu Lang's words are well-founded, but he and Liu Lang are too far away to understand.
