"This translation software application should be as foolish as possible in terms of user experience, and the simpler the better."

Luo Sheng looked at Xu Yong and said methodically: "For example, if I don't understand English, I opened an English web page and was dumbfounded on the spot, and I couldn't understand it." How? When a user enters a web page that he does not understand at all, if his computer is running our translation service, the text information of the page should be automatically translated into his native language immediately, so that he can see it at a glance. ”

Xu Yong thought for a moment and then said: "The compatibility problem of software will become the most prominent contradiction. ”

Luo Sheng smiled: "This is not difficult, we can solve this problem through the relevant technical support of cloud computing services, of course we will not change the original web page, otherwise the page will crash, but we can parse and then run in the cloud, and then present an inherited child page on the client, the original page is the parent, the two are both independent and related." ”

Feng Yi's eyes lit up and said, "This is a feasible method, which can be regarded as the development of a cloud service. ”

Everyone was inexplicably amazed in their hearts, and the idea of co-authoring it was probably not that the boss just wanted to go out, but that it had already existed last year or even longer.

The people sitting here are all capable engineers and developers, and after a few moments, they realize that big data and cloud computing services will play the role of the core backbone of this, which is the premise of all this, and then artificial intelligence.

In other words, the idea is to package instant translation applications in cloud computing services for sale, which can be divided into two segments: enterprise services and personal services.

Enterprise-level services, such as Bluestar Technology, its social attributes and transnational characteristics, are in great need of such services, buy such service support, bluespace, microblog, bluestarvideo and other users do not need to buy when they log in to these websites, they can directly use it for free, because the website itself has purchased such services.

Of course, this is originally supported by Bluestar Technology's own cloud services, which is naturally free.

But what about other corporate websites? For example, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, etc., if they want this kind of solution, they have to buy it.

There is also a personal version as well.

Luo Sheng looked at everyone and said: "If you realize strong artificial intelligence now, everything will become much simpler, but this is not something that can be achieved in a moment and a half, fortunately, cloud computing services can allow us to optimize many application scenarios in advance, but this requires a large amount of data and sufficient computing resources to support, our solution can use distributed computing, have a super-large-scale data center to support the inclusion of the thesaurus, and support the real-time update of the thesaurus." ”

In the data age, data is everything, and monopolizing data is equivalent to monopolizing the whole world.

Luo Sheng added: "Therefore, next, Bluestar Technology should recruit professionals including linguists, engineers, analysts, statistics and other professionals around the world, and also need to recruit an archaeological team of linguistics, of course, it can also cooperate in the form of direct sponsorship, and also send a large number of offline postgraduate research teams to collect all kinds of culture, customs, slang and other information around the world, museums, libraries, etc., which can be opened, and strive to persuade each other if it is not open, give a sum of money or cooperate or something." ”

Xu Yong smiled: "It seems that we also have to give Wikipedia a sponsorship fee." ”

When these data thesaurus and other information are gathered in the data center, this is a basic prerequisite, and the database can be established in order to achieve comparative analytical translation.

The construction of data centers will continue to expand, because the world is producing new words all the time, especially Internet buzzwords, which are the easiest to collect, and the easiest to solve the inclusion problem on the Internet.

The difficult part is that there are some niche categories and offline categories, you can't ignore them, don't look at them as niches, but they are scattered, and the summary is still huge.

The database is built, which is of great benefit to the development of artificial intelligence, and it is possible to develop a huge distribution system that can realize the user's translation needs through the user access to the data center and request parsing through the cloud.

In this way, the massive data support can also carry the birth of primary artificial intelligence, and finally artificial intelligence will feed back, and the birth of primary artificial intelligence can be upgraded to strong artificial intelligence, which has been proven in Luo Sheng's previous life, so there will be no doubts, this must be done.

Xu Yong pondered and said to himself: "This is a vast and boundless super data project, how many manpower, material resources, and financial resources must be invested to realize it?" ”

Luo Sheng: "Maybe a few thousand people plus tens of billions, maybe more, but even if the investment is large, it is worth it, and it must be done." ”

Feng Yi also looked at Luo Sheng and said: "The first application based on artificial intelligence is instant translation, so what about the second application? ”

Luo Sheng immediately got up and brought a curly large-size poster and put it on the table in the middle of the crowd, Xu Yong and the others immediately went up to spread the poster, and then they all glanced at it curiously, and they were all puzzled when they saw it.

"This is a girl I asked the artists in the art department to draw according to my vision." Luo Sheng looked at the girl character on the poster and said slowly: "Virtual, gentle, cute, delicate...... Virtual singers. ”

Virtual singer?

Xu Yong and the others looked at each other, and it was the boss's new concept term, and they had never heard of this before.

Immediately, I looked at the cute girl on the poster who was wearing headphones + electronic screen sleeves + square red hairband + green eyes and double ponytail.

Feng Yi scratched his head at the image of the girl on the poster, and muttered, "Boss, how can you always come up with such strange and strange ideas?" ”

Luo Sheng smiled and did not answer him directly, but went straight to the point: "The virtual idol singer plan may not be able to bring considerable profits to the company in a short period of time, and even if it is profitable in ten years, it is dispensable, but it represents one of the future trends!" ”

Once the real virtual reality society arrives, people can trigger a real immersive interactive experience with virtual characters, which will trigger earth-shaking changes in the entire society, which means that games, entertainment and other elements can cross the barriers between virtual and reality with the help of high-tech equipment, and at that time profits and benefits are rolling in.

Luo Sheng looked at everyone and said one by one: "Virtual idols, with the same smile and wave as real people, but with a beautiful posture that surpasses human beings; sings and dances as freely as a real person, but can easily complete the treble and speed of speech that cannot be achieved by Chéng Rén; Everything is illusory and virtual, only unwavering seriousness and perfection are real. We often say that technology creates the future, and this sentence is used to describe virtual idols, whose thick sense of the future is incomparable. ”

Lu Siming was stunned and said: "The boss's thinking is really imaginative. ”

Xu Yong also immediately asked: "So you want to use artificial intelligence to create the most advanced speech synthesis technology?" A text message expression, a voice message expression, just two major applications? ”

Luo Sheng snapped his fingers and affirmed with a smile: "That's right, the arrangement is clear, intelligent speech synthesis technology + imaging technology + virtual engine processing + artificial intelligence, in order to create the world's first virtual idol, the behind-the-scenes team in addition to the engineer team, also needs a huge music creation team, virtual idols have an advantage that real people can't match, that is, virtual idols can easily master n languages, so globalization is easier to harvest fans around the world." ”

The virtual idol on the poster comes from a world-class artist within Bluestar Technology, and its painting style has a sense of transparency and lightness.

If you want to be liked by the majority of young people in the next ten or fifteen years, the fresh and interesting concept elements of virtual idols are indispensable.

The plan was quickly arranged clearly, one is based on artificial intelligence's "online cloud translation" plan, the other is based on artificial intelligence's "virtual idol" plan, both projects are planned to be developed in high secrecy, jointly developed by Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology, although they are both companies created by Luo Sheng, but both sides are independent accounting business, and the process should not be less.

The first project team is expected to require 6,000 people, which is a time-consuming but definitely worthwhile layout.

The second project team is expected to require 2,000 people, either don't play, or play with the goal of being the pole of the world!

In terms of financial budget, the budget for the first project is $2 billion, and the second project budget is $1 billion.
