Chapter 589: An Overly Advanced AI System

The PA-42 can land at an airstrip, which is stronger than most business aircraft. But compared to business aircraft, the PA-42 is much less comfortable.

Regardless, Link's plane landed safely at Mora Airport.

Jessica still works at the company. He was picked up by William, the butler.

William respectfully opened the door for him, closed it and sat back in the driver's seat. After the car drove out, I reported the situation at home. He concluded: "Mr. Tang arrived at the estate by helicopter an hour ago. When I came out, he was playing with Miss Caitlyn and Master Evan. ”

Link said, "I see. "He called Carrick before he came back. It's just that he didn't expect the other party to come so quickly, and it seems that he flew over after receiving his call.

As he entered the living room, he heard Carrick screaming. It turned out that Evan was clutching his face with his mouth open.

This little guy loves to grab people now. He will always let go after a while, and then look at you with wide eyes, as if to make sure of your reaction after being caught, and then continue to catch it with a fierce appearance. I don't know who this little guy is learning.

As soon as he entered, Caitlin saw him for the first time. The little girl blinked, sat on the ground, opened her hands, and was about to cry when her mouth cracked.

He hurriedly ran over and picked her up. The little girl immediately obediently lay on his shoulder, protecting his neck and not letting go.

The girl!Link laughingly patted her on the back.

"I heard that my daughter was my father's lover in her previous life, and Caitlyn must have been your closest lover in her last life. Carrick grabbed Evan's hand and stood up with a smile. "But yours, the son, may have been a cat in his last life. Look at my face, is it broken?"

Link gently patted his daughter on the back and said, "Are you envious or jealous?"

"Both!" Carrick said with his head down against the forehead of the struggling Evan, feigning a vicious look. "If you scratch my face again, I won't play with you. ”

Link looked at him like a child and said, "You don't work hard if you like children." Now that you're with Martha every day, haven't you been able to invite her to dinner?"

"Does a working meal count?" said Carrick with a laugh. "I've invited her to dinner hundreds of times, if you count. ”

"If a working meal counts as a lunch, a doll can count as a child!"

Carrick let go of Evan with a smile and said, "Stop! Now let's talk about business." ”

Link sat down on the couch with his daughter in his arms, and then picked up Evan who was hobbling towards him on the couch and sat down on it, before saying, "You say, I'll listen." ”

"We go where we can show slides. "If he just listens to him, he doesn't necessarily understand the system. "I remember you had a movie theater. ”

Link picked up both children: "Let's go!"

They went to the private movie theater, and Carrick quickly connected the computer to the projector, then projected the slides onto the screen, saying, "These are the two central control systems and the associated subsystems." The first is the automated loading and unloading system at the port. ”

He explained as he played the slides. He said a lot of technical terms, and Link didn't quite understand them. But there are slides that probably make you understand what those things are for.

Carrick concludes with his summary of the system: "To put it simply, this is an AI system that is controlled by a central supercomputer via radio communication. According to the overall setting, according to the real-time changes of the port, the port can quickly make adjustment instructions. However, this AI system does not have the ability to learn on its own, and if there is a change in the general environment, it needs to be manually upgraded. ”

The automatic loading and unloading system of this port is controlled by a central computer, and the other subsystems are actually the individual ports. Therefore, the central intelligence and subsystems can independently perform computational calculations. The subsystem transmits its calculations and plans to the central system, which regulates the entire dock based on the information fed back by all the subsystems. This is the most efficient way to achieve maximum efficiency.

After listening to Carrick's explanation, he thought for a while before saying, "So, the data in the central system still needs to be entered manually. And a supercomputer is needed. ”

"Yes, but this central system can be compatible with the information network of existing ports. Data such as the location of the cargo on each ship, the destination of the cargo on the dock and the voyage of the ship can be directly imported into the central system. The system automatically claims the best loading and unloading plan. The controller does not need to go through calculations to input, and it is completely fool-proof. ”

"So how do you make sure that the system doesn't go wrong?" The accuracy of loading and unloading of containers is very high. A mistake in the decoration of a container will cause a series of chain errors. "You know, the fault tolerance at container ports is very tight. If it can't be more accurate than manual planning, the speed of the system is useless. ”

Carrick is confident in his system: "That's a problem! It will only be executed if the controller is sure that it is correct. There are two advantages that it is better than the current automatic loading and unloading system. One is that the quay crane control is all intelligently controlled, and the loading and unloading efficiency will be more than 50% faster than the thought operation. ”

He said and stretched out two fingers: "And the second advantage, the automatic flatbed truck on the dock does not need a fixed sensor control line, so it does not need to take a fixed line, but chooses the most convenient route for operation." At the same time, they can send the containers that need to be loaded under the quay crane after the cargo is delivered to the yard. This increases the utilization rate of the automated flatbed. And in this process, there is no need for human setting or operation. It can not only save manpower, but also improve the efficiency and transportation efficiency of the yard by more than 40%. ”

When Link heard this, he didn't think of any other questions for the time being.

Carrick saw that he had no doubts, and opened a presentation of another system, saying, "Next, there is the long-distance transfer system." This system is mainly aimed at long-distance truck transportation. This requires a more complex hardware system. ”

He opened a slide and said, "Here's a schematic diagram of the system's working system requirements." First of all, it needs to have a specially set up loading dock at both ends of the line. ”

Link understands this. And he'd communicated with Carrick before.

Because the traffic flow in the city is too large and the traffic situation is very complicated, it is impossible for large trucks to directly deliver goods to the destination in the city.

"At the end of the transport line, a lot of manpower is required. And when transporting, the central control system requires a lot of manpower to control it at any time. At the same time, if you want to control a large number of terminals from a distance, you need to use the existing communication network or directly through satellites. ”

When it comes to what he's good at, Carrick is very serious and focused. He gestured to a joint point in the system with his mouse and said, "This is a key." Road. ”

He smiled and said to Link, "Of course, the best option is to open up an exclusive route, but that seems unlikely. ”

"That can't be!" Link nodded. "I wondered if such a system would be able to react correctly when avoiding traffic at an intersection. ”

"It's an intelligent system, every car is an autobot, they just can't transform. So their reaction speed doesn't have to be slow for old drivers. ”

Carrick said with a sigh of relief: "As long as you have computers in your car that are fast enough, they can even be safer than human drivers." ”

"What if there's an emergency, like when there's no traffic light and you suddenly encounter a pedestrian or a vehicle crossing the road," Link laughs. Will it be able to respond appropriately?"

Once such an AI system has a security problem, and the government orders it to stop operating, he can't do anything about it. He didn't dare to think that he would be special in this aspect.

Boeing, as the largest military supplier to the United States, will be grounded for all aircraft of the same model if there is a problem with the aircraft. What is he?

Carrick seems to have this in mind as well. "That's why I said that a computer that is fast enough to be the terminal of the subsystem," he said. ”

"Then the cost will be high. ”

Carrick had to admit that both of his systems had that weakness: the high cost of input.

Link smiled and said, "Such systems are very strong, and I will find a way to make them work." But ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, his phone suddenly rang.

He saw that it was Martha calling, and immediately answered the phone.

As soon as he answered the phone, he heard Martha shout urgently, "Link, can you go online now?" If you can, you'd better go online right away." ”

Hearing Martha's words in such a hurry, Link's heart suddenly lifted. Could it be that someone is making a secret move against him: "Something has happened?"

"Someone has discovered a hidden feature in our mobile phones. is a federal parliamentarian. ”

"You mean to say that a federal congressman was wiretapped?"

"The news disclosed by the other party shows that it is indeed like that. Martha said in a joyful voice. "You've seen the news, and if there's no new idea, we're going to follow the strategy we've put forward. ”

What new ideas can Link have. He didn't have to look at it before deciding, saying, "I don't have any new ideas." Your side is acting according to the previous plan. ”

"Carrick is with you?"

Link smiled and said, "Yes." You're looking for him?"

"It's not. I just wonder if he's leaving his job to hang out at this time. ”

Link laughed and said, "I'll let him go back and help you as soon as possible." ”

When he hung up, Carrick asked, "Is it Martha?"

"Yes. After waiting for more than a month, someone finally discovered the big killer of the intelligent system you developed. ”

Carrick's face collapsed and he said, "You mean, I'm going to be busy next?"

"You can be relaxed, too. You've got Martha in front of you!"

Carrick said with a bitter face: "If I don't care about anything this time, Martha won't want to see me in the future!"
