In the past few years, although the scale of Ningbo University is not too large, the overall research atmosphere and research accuracy are among the top in China. www.biquge.info Therefore, many professors have more requirements for academics.

The same is true for Zhang Hongwei......

If Yang Fan or Qihang are interested in artificial intelligence, this is definitely his spring.

In terms of artificial intelligence, Zhang Hongwei believes that he is definitely the top in Ningcheng, even in the whole country, he is also a number of figures, if there is a good environment, he believes that he will definitely produce results.

Yang Fan also understands this, so he doesn't say much, and directly says the conditions, "I can support you to set up a research group under the framework of Qihang, and the initial annual funding may only be a few million, unless you produce results." ”

How many million a year?

Zhang Hongwei is already very satisfied with this figure, such as his kind of research, does not need a lot of consumables like graphene experiments, they only need computers, supercomputers, which is a one-time investment, and the natural demand for research funds is not as much as graphene.

Similarly, these millions were much more than the funds he received from Ning University, so as soon as he heard the number Yang Fan said, he immediately nodded and said, "No problem, no problem......

As for why Yang Fan did this......

Very simple.

Now set sail for the game, the profit of the set sail network is getting higher and higher, and it will make significant progress in the next two years. TX has entered a profitable period, no matter how much, after all, there is no need to continue to invest, and BD is not yet profitable, and even because of the rapid development, it still needs to continue to invest, but because of the mutual promotion of the entire Qihang system on the Internet, it is gradually moving towards breakeven.

As for the Besturn electric vehicle factory, with the opening of a batch of direct stores, the profit is gradually rising, although because of the large number of new stores now, the capital consumption is very large, but most of them can be solved through bank loans.

In this case, millions of research dollars a year will not put much pressure on Qihang.

And this year's investment of several million yuan may bring a new development direction to Qihang in the future, which is completely worth it for Yang Fan......

By 15 years, what represents the future of science and technology and is most likely to lead the industrial revolution? The general conjecture is 3D printing, VR, AR, MR, etc., represented by virtual reality, graphene, controlled nuclear fusion, artificial intelligence and other things.

And in these aspects, what direction can Yang Fan choose to break through?

First of all, it is necessary to rule out controlled nuclear fusion, not to mention that controlled nuclear fusion will still look like the ultimate scientific and technological test of mankind even in a year or five, and just say that this thing involves the nuclear industry, and it is not something that can be touched by a private enterprise in China.

As for 3D printing, Yang Fan doesn't know much about it, but it seems to be more suitable for some small-scale manufacturing, especially high-end customized products, anyway, Yang Fan has heard about 3D printing dentures more than once...... It is said that it is difficult to apply to mass production, so some experts advocate that 3D printing is the fourth industrial revolution, and Yang Fan feels that this statement is more like a gimmick.

Speaking of virtual reality represented by VR, AR, MR, etc., it seems that it is more suitable for sailing, mainly because of the existence of sailing games, don't you see what virtual technology those future games are! However, there is also a problem here, Yang Fan has no talent in this area at all.

Therefore, Yang Fan is still ready to seek a breakthrough in artificial intelligence.

In fact, if you look at it from a five-year perspective, artificial intelligence seems to be closer to reality.

Of course, this is not to say that the chip already has the idea of independent thinking, which is completely sci-fi, but that the artificial intelligence program can make rapid program judgments and make the best choice through a large number of cases! For example, Alpha Dog can already challenge Lee Sedol, while Google's unmanned driving has been running on the ground for many years, millions of kilometers.

They operate by choosing, not thinking. These artificial intelligences can analyze the countless possibilities and choose the best one.

Therefore, Yang Fan is ready to start making limited investment in artificial intelligence now, and expand investment if there are results!

If there is no result, it is just a waste of money.

At most, I bought a few cars, I don't know who smashed them, anyway, the car that was crippled by Yang Fan was not one, but two.

"You're embarrassed to say ......" In this regard, Lin Yao pouted and said.

Touching the roof of the Hummer H1, Yang Fan sighed, this car looks really exciting. Although it has a height of nearly two meters, it can be seen from the front, and if you don't count the tall wheels, the whole car is very flat.

After looking around the car twice, Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction, and it looked very enjoyable.

"Yes, go two laps!" As he spoke, Yang Fan threw the key to Lin Yao, and then climbed into the passenger seat.

Lin Yao, "......"

After that, Lin Yao reluctantly got into the car.

The car is very wide, although Lin Yao is also one meter six or five tall, and she is not petite among girls, but sitting in a Hummer does show that she is very petite. The comfort is just like that, at least compared to a car in the same price range.

In this regard, Lin Yao pursed her lips in disgust.

Looking at Lin Yao's expression, Yang Fan explained, "You said you wanted a Humvee!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yao glanced at Yang Fan, saw that he looked serious, obviously tempted, as if this car was really bought for her, so he raised the key in his hand, "Okay, then I'll lock the car tomorrow, and no one wants to touch it except me!" ”

Yang Fan, "......"

In this regard, Yang Fan couldn't help but scratch his head, "That, let's do it, I bought another BMW, and I'll be here soon, let's change it when it's okay!" ”

Seriously, in order to give Lin Yao a car, Yang Fan really racked his brains, in this era, there are really not many cars that are too suitable for women to drive. In other words, the car market has been a male market for many years. After thinking about it for a long time, I helped Lin Yao buy a BMW, relatively speaking, the BMW models are still more active and the colors are more vibrant.

It's just that many cars can't be bought in China these years, Yang Fan simply asked people to buy them in the United States, as for how to send them in, that's Liu Qingfeng's problem...... Anyway, Yang Fan doesn't care about this.

Hearing this, Lin Yao pursed her lips, thought about it, threw away the car key, and motioned for Yang Fan to drive.

Lin Yao just joked about Hummer before, she really didn't have any feelings about this car, but felt that it was low-key, deep and Volvo was good.

In this regard, Yang Fan believes that it may be because Volvo is famous for safety. Excitedly driving a Hummer around Ningcheng, especially with Lin Yao sitting next to him, Yang Fan had a feeling of a tiger in his heart and a sigh for the rose, "Hurry up and buy you a Volvo!" ”

"Huh?" Lin Yao looked at Yang Fan strangely, "Didn't you buy a BMW?" ”

Sitting on the Humvee, because of the height problem, the field of vision is wider, Yang Fan said ambitiously, "Don't you like Volvo, I have the opportunity to buy a Volvo car." ”

Lin Yao, "......"

Then Lin Yao glanced at Yang Fan, this person was not doing anything right.
