There are only a few things to deal with here, and this is a sales operations center at best, and after a few words of advice, Alice has little reason to stay, so she takes the list of employees handed over by the administrative director and takes a helicopter to Exeter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the way, it's time to look at the list.

The acquisition of Pfizer has indeed been put on the agenda by Alice in her heart. As a century-old company based in New York, the company has unrivaled market accumulation in the United States, and if she can really take advantage of the abundant funds to buy a controlling stake in it, then the umbrella will inevitably gain an unprecedented improvement in drug sales channels and product categories.

When Cisco executes its acquisition strategy, it has set up a dedicated strategic M&A team, which can be a very complex task from the preliminary investigation to the introduction of the M&A plan to the final implementation of the M&A. This is not the case for smaller companies, and the entire Pfizer group can imagine, and it is not even something that can be done by the umbrella alone, but by the Ambrera Investment Company of the Alice Building.

Therefore, before carrying out this time-consuming and heavy workload, she must first understand the identity of the employees in the company's headquarters in detail, and know herself and the enemy, so that she can survive the battle.

In this way, the whole journey ended quickly in the process of getting acquainted with the employee list.

The rumbling of propellers resounded through the south-west plains of England, and Alice's helicopter landed on the tarmac behind the research center, and Harry Purness had already come to greet her personally.

"Hey man, how's it going?"

"Not good at all! We've been in front of that damn prototype for three weeks, and you're sure you haven't built that sci-fi brainwave yet?"

"It's a mind detector...... My dear, don't make it too simple to copy the human soul, how long have I been here?"

"Then you have to come on, boss, although we are only a trial here, it is already the world's first operating system based on ternary, genetic and probabilistic algorithms! The prototype of artificial intelligence has been born in our place!"

"Yes, yes, so let me see it. ”

The email she received that day was the main reason why Alice came to England for this trip. After working tirelessly day after day, Harry's research team finally created the first prototype of artificial intelligence. Although the performance is certainly not as good as those invincible goods in Alice's heart, this is really the moment when a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!

Today was a day to celebrate, the dozens of programmers in the institute were all excited, and Harry didn't force them to work, so the moment Alice walked into the institute, the whole patio suddenly came alive.

"Boss, Boss, Welcome, Boss!"

"The boss wants a raise! The boss should hurry up and pay a bonus!"

"Boss, let's go to the bar tonight!

"Sorry, I'm not twenty yet. ”

How many people gathered around the patio railings on each floor, and even some sprayed streamers on the ground, but some of the cleaning staff were busy, and look at those naughty guys, who actually hung up hydrogen balloons!

With bursts of cheers and laughter, the two walked to the floor where the ternary computer belonged and walked into the office. As soon as the door closes, everything outside is cut off, and the employees are allowed to laugh and laugh, and the boss has a job to do.

Twenty oversized refrigerator-like chassis and an operating table standing in an open space, this is what the computer looks like. The chassis is constantly emitting heat and a low beep, the air conditioning in the room is constantly working, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows are also blocked by blackout curtains, which makes it feel like a small world of its own.

From the outside, this supercomputer is not very good, but if someone is judging the performance of the product by the appearance of the case, it is definitely going to put the cart before the horse.

Harry said, "Let me demonstrate, but note that we don't have the audio equipment installed yet, so you'll have to read the text on the console." ”

"Yes, you can do it. ”

What is displayed on the console screen is not the DOS system, and certainly not the Windows interface that Alice is familiar with, nor is it the appearance of any known operating system such as Apple or Linux. At first glance, it looks like the main interface of a triple-A game, the screen is dark green, and the rectangular table of contents stands on the left side, and the first content on it is......

"Hello, Alice. ”

The text scrolls to appear with a line of greetings.

Alice blinked.

Then the second line appeared: "Welcome to the Exeter Computer Research Center, I am HP-001, if you are not satisfied, you can name yourself." ”

Alice felt the feeling that her brain was being stirred into a pulp, she looked at Harry who was smiling cheaply, glared and said, "Don't tell me that you actually formed the 'Skynet' at once?"

"How is that possible, it's just a basic greeting function. Do you see the camera in the corner, the face recognition software compiled by Lex has been changed to ternary, and when the computer knows your identity, it will naturally say hello~"

Lex is a senior engineer at the institute, and his facial recognition software, this Alice is aware. Of course, her performance was completely unnoticed, but if it wasn't for searching for the masked at the scene of the terrorist attack, but just identifying her here, that little bit of technology would be enough.

"Okay...... Well, I can't expect it to be so smart. ”

Alice was not at all frightened by these two sentences on the screen, Iron Man's Jarvis, Resident Evil's Empress of Fire, or even the virtual world computer of "Hackers from Another Dimension", and any artificial intelligence she saw in film and television books, which was not more exaggerated than the situation in front of her.

Keyboard input: "What is one plus one?"

Alice really wanted to know how much this strange thing that combined genetic distribution and probability inference algorithms based on the ternary principle had learned from Harry and the others.

The computer quickly replied, "There are two answers." One, two, two, you're kidding me. ”

Alice: "............"

She turned to look at Harry.

Harry pursed his lips and laughed.

She typed again: "What is three plus three?"

The computer quickly replied, "Answer, six, and besides, Alice, please provide a high question, thank you." ”

Alice's fingers were a little stiff, moving and moving, and she couldn't type anything right away.

"Let's not talk about how intelligent it is, I said Harry, why is this kid so inadequate!?"

"Well...... Well...... Look, it's called HP-001, so ......."

"So simulating your thinking pattern, you kid is also very poor, right......"

Alice's squinting method was so effective that Harry immediately gave her a detailed introduction to the research during this time.

It can be said that Alice's own thinking is like this: to study the mind reader, fully understand the thinking form of a living being, and after the basic research in this field is thorough, she can create an excellent artificial intelligence in one form.

But this kind of sudden product without context, it is still unrealistic to really want to pop out all at once, so it is much faster than Alice, Harry and others have already made a prototype of artificial intelligence with local methods. The method is very simple, it is to use ternary code, fuse those two algorithms, and simulate the human mind step by step - and obviously it is also very difficult.

"In fact, I think that compared to the birth of HP-001, the practical application of my genetic algorithm and Mr. Zola's probability algorithm is our real gain. Before HP-001 advanced to the level of Marvel's Jarvis, its special feature was that it could simply chat with us, but the two of us had an algorithm that was so versatile!"

Alice understands this. In the final analysis, a computer is a tool that assists humans with high computing power and problem-solving capabilities, and the so-called artificial intelligence is actually just human-like flexibility when dealing with problems. The birth of HP-001 is gratifying, but it is just a product in the end, and technology patents are the real wealth.

"The value of genetic algorithms lies in the ability to learn, and probabilistic algorithms ...... Predicting the future, the dream of secondary two diseases. You're right, these two programming techniques can be used in many specific ...... Let me think. ”

All in all, the actual testing of HP-001 was interesting, and while it was nowhere near the point of actually chatting like a person, it was clear that it already had basic under-flattening capabilities. Dare to dislike the administrator to ask some mentally retarded questions, who is mentally retarded, you are mentally retarded, and your whole family is mentally retarded!

After coming out of the computer room, Alice did not go straight to the roof of her office, but went directly to the underground.

Because of the construction of the Tokyo Science and Technology Park, the biochemical laboratory here in Exeter will have to be readjusted. Considering that artificial intelligence has been born upstairs, maybe it would be a good choice to vacate the downstairs for them, and it would be a good choice to move the research on the I virus and the flower that has no use until now to move to Tokyo.

Therefore, she especially needs to see someone.

The female spy lady who has always been "asked" to live at the bottom of the research center, Ripple Pushkin.

This is a separate room, where energy-saving lamps and ultraviolet sun lamps coexist, depending on which switch you want to press. When Alice entered the room, she happened to see the tall woman sitting cross-legged on the single bed, reading a French book carefully.

"Alice Wang. ”

Seeing someone come in, Wippel glanced at her: "Why are you here?"

"Let me tell you something that has something to do with you and is worth referencing. ”

"What's the content?"

Alice was not intimidated by the other party's salty and indifferent attitude: "Your adoptive father, Your Excellency, seems to have an adopted daughter, who was thrown into a dry well thirty years ago and was imprisoned for cultivation, and now I have rescued her and is recuperating in Japan." How about you go and visit?"
