296 Changing the Trajectory of Life (3)
What will be the consequences of the continuous development of artificial intelligence? This is a hot topic in both the tech and business circles in the last two years.
Infinite Future Company has sprung up in two years, relying on superhuman artificial intelligence technology. As the influence continues to grow, when it comes to artificial intelligence, the company itself has become an indispensable presence.
The so-called benchmark enterprise is to launch the technology to represent the highest level in the world, and the direction of research and development is to represent the development trend of the industry. It is difficult to do, so when so many companies introduce themselves, they always add the word "one" after "benchmark enterprise". That's not modesty, it's roundabout.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Chen Wenhao has fully said his thoughts. However, the jumping nature of the topic suddenly changed from social and people's livelihood to an alien universe, and Dai Yuqian, who majored in law, was obviously stunned.
"Well, that's beyond my knowledge, I trust you, and I'd better do what I'm doing." Dai Yuqian straightened out her bangs that were blown by the wind and added. It can be seen that she does not take the second half of Chen's words too seriously, but more like a grand vision.
Chen Wenhao didn't care, if he hadn't met Xiaoka and Xiaoxi, he would probably have taken it as a lofty ambition if he heard such a plan.
After all, decades have passed since the collapse of the bipolar world pattern, and mankind's exploration of extraterrestrial space may have progressed technologically, but in terms of mankind's exit from its home planet, it has taken a big step forward.
The moon, as a terrestrial planet so close to the earth, has a relatively poor surface environment, and it has not been set foot by earthlings for many years. It is true that due to the advancement of unmanned exploration technology, the data specimens obtained may be sufficient for scientific research, but the current level of intelligence of exploration equipment and the harvest of human field exploration are completely different.
At the very least, in terms of national participation, manned and unmanned are two completely different treatments.
After the launch of the group's space tourism, why it continues to dominate the screen in various media around the world, and the fever does not subside, is not because at a price that many people can afford, the dream of ordinary people to enter space can be realized.
At this time, a colleague in charge of equipment debugging came to report the work, all the preliminary work was ready, and asked whether to carry out the preliminary user computer test.
This is a plan that has been planned for a long time, and there will be a formal donation ceremony in two days, and the highlight of the ceremony will be the actual use of the students. Although the operation is not complicated, considering that the vast majority of users will be elementary school students, it is necessary to familiarize them with it first.
Chen Wenhao motioned to Dai Yuqian, "You are a supernumerary teacher here, you are familiar with the situation, you can choose the students who take the test." ”
"No problem, which course to use for the test?"
"Well, I want to think about it...... Let's take geography in the first class, and then take the main class later. ”

Li Xiaomei wore a headset with a microphone on her head, sat upright, and did not dare to listen to the introduction of the staff on the podium with no distraction. In the same situation as her, there are also classmates in the class, all with headphones on their heads and serious faces. What was taught on the podium was how to use the headphones and what to do next.
The classroom they were in was a little different from usual, the desks were not arranged horizontally and vertically, but in a hollow shape, freeing up an open space in the middle of the classroom.
These children will be the first public users of the virtual projection device (education version). The main unit has been installed on the roof in the center of the classroom, and the headphones with microphones that look a little old-fashioned are the personal control ends.
As a hot new electronic product in the market, virtual projection equipment is currently more used in the commercial field, but there are also many individual customers who have plenty of money to purchase for home entertainment, as a high-end electronic product starting from nearly 60,000 yuan, the personal control end is also a sense of science and technology, small and fashionable.
The educational version of the device is different, from the function to the details have been readjusted, adhere to two principles: solid and sufficient. The host can be made bigger, the control end can be a little clumsy, and the performance and function can be used. At the expense of the shape and rich functions, the equipment itself dustproof, shockproof, waterproof standards have been improved, and by the way, the cost has also been reduced. This kind of thinking is equivalent to the fact that your own gaming headset can be equipped with hundreds or thousands of yuan of models, while the batch headset of Internet cafes will not exceed 50 yuan. But compared to the consumables of Internet café accessories, these customized versions are much more survivable. In addition, the reduction of unnecessary functions makes it easier for users to operate.
After all, according to Chen's plan to donate equipment to rural schools in economically underdeveloped areas of the country for free, the benefits of this are obvious, given that the funding cannot be provided indefinitely: the cost of equipment is reduced, and more rural schools can receive donated equipment and receive supporting virtual classes in the same amount of time.
There are a total of two buttons on the matching headset, which correspond to the interactive functions in the course. Considering that the test was all elementary school students, the staff deliberately and patiently repeated it a few times, but it only took three or four minutes.
A special geography lesson began.
Li Xiaomei has seen a lot of mountains and is used to mountain roads, but she wants to see the sea the most, and all her impressions of the sea come from the descriptions of books and TV pictures. At this moment, she really saw the sea.
There was a sea in the middle of the classroom! The blue water is close to transparent, the endless sense of reality, and the white sand, the gentle lapping of the tide in waves, and the sound of the waves in the headphones, which is completely different from the feeling of seeing the sea on TV! Li Xiaomei's mouth opened into an O-shape, and immediately, she covered it tightly with one hand so as not to let out a scream. She has strong self-control, because even with headphones on, she heard many classmates exclamating and shouting, but they all stopped after a short time.
Now, with surprise and doubt, she carefully looked at everything in front of her: she was still in the classroom, she knew that it was an open space, and she could vaguely see the classmates sitting opposite her through the image, but the picture was still too real. She looked left and right, and couldn't get enough of it.
This lesson focuses on China's marine resources. The group bought the copyright of a lot of documentaries on natural scenery and human geography, and then handed them over to the supercomputing center of the headquarters (in fact, it is a small card) to convert them into electronic courseware as a supporting textbook for the people's education version. Of course, you need to learn more than the number of languages, but it is also important to see and hear about the wider world. In other words, this is what children in rural areas are more lacking than urban children.
In the ordinary classroom of this rural primary school in Dashan, a group of children who have never been to the beach and have never seen the sea with their own eyes follow the changes in the content and picture of the course, appreciate the coastal scenery of China and the marine life and other resources in it, and know the location and importance of the treasure island......
Before that, these things only existed in the words of books and the flashes of TV images, and these children never thought that they would have anything to do with themselves, and they had no way to understand them systematically. This time it was completely different, like the shock that many people get when they watch a 3D movie for the first time. At the end of the lesson, many of the children were still immersed in it, and the classroom was silent.
