"Hello, Xiaozha, good evening." In the phone video, Xiao Zha sits on a high-backed wooden chair, and behind it is an American-style home environment with white as the main color, which seems to be at home.

"Hey, Chen, is it convenient for you to talk over there?" Xiao Zha was wearing a set of checkered home clothes, and his voice revealed the exhaustion peculiar to staying up late.

"I'm in the office, no problem. What is so important? Chen Wenhao replied. He chose to ask straight to the point, he and Xiaozha have known each other for a while, and they know that he is more direct and doesn't like to go around in circles. If there was nothing particularly urgent, I wouldn't have contacted him so late, but it was to ask him, "Have you ever seen Silicon Valley at four o'clock in the morning?" ”

"There's something I feel compelled to tell you. Two days ago, someone from the government department came to me and asked me to do a software test. Xiao Zha's tone was a little heavier, "And it's an intelligent translation software!" What's more, you can't guess who made the software. Remember the coalition of opponents? ”

"What do you mean, is it the alliance of opponents that they developed?"

"That's right!"

The so-called opposition alliance is the code name given by him, Xiaozha and others to the 13 companies led by Apple. They had a lengthy monopoly lawsuit with the company because of the small card translation software. After contributing millions of dollars to the lawyers' team, the end result of this lawsuit was also unsatisfactory:

Although not a penny of compensation was paid, the company's plan to enter the U.S. market was aborted, and the company's subsequent products have not been sold in the U.S. to this day. Players in the United States want to buy a "flying brick", and the most convenient channel is to go to nearby Canadians to bring goods. The only exception is translation software, which is a must-have tool for many business people because it is difficult to block down through online sales and has a strong demand, so it continues to be popular in the United States and has a huge user base of tens of millions.

By the way, the monthly fee for translation software, after the end of the promotion period, the price of the overseas version was uniformly adjusted to 4.99 US dollars, while the price of the Chinese version remained at 10 yuan.

Chen Wenhao asked a key question, "How do you feel about using it?" ”

Xiao Zha looked solemn, "If you give Xiaoka Translator five stars, you can give 4.5 stars to that software." Also in the non-networked state, it is a little worse in terms of quick identification, but there is no problem at all in daily use. ”

Hearing this, Chen Wenhao was a little surprised, when Xiaoka was compiling the intelligent translation software, he once said that according to the existing technology of the earth, it will take at least 15~20 years to reach the level of software, and it must be on the premise that there are no detours. But the current situation clearly shatters this prediction. In particular, it can be translated smoothly in a stand-alone state, which is the biggest difference between intelligent translation and previous translation software. To achieve this, unless there is a qualitative breakthrough in artificial intelligence technology over there, however, this timing is inevitably too coincidental.

Chen Wenhao, who came back to his senses, asked Xiao Zha, "Is there any other information about this new software?" ”

Xiao Zha shook his head, "They brought a tablet with the software already installed and gave me an hour to test. The software itself doesn't have any brand logo or copyright information, and the company still came to tell me about it. ”

"In the past two days, I also inquired about the news, and the heads of several companies in Silicon Valley have also tried this software, and the process is similar to mine. In fact, I'm afraid that the range of people who have actually used it will be wider. Xiaozha added.

"Wait, I have a problem in mind, they just rushed to the door and made all kinds of demands, and it didn't seem like it was just for you." Chen Wenhao asked, "It can't be because the big bosses in the United States are particularly easy to talk." ”

Xiao Zha shrugged his shoulders, "This is the other important point I want to tell you, the institution to which the visitor belongs. ”

"Where?"

"Federal Investigations and Homeland Security."

Chen Wenhao thought to himself, I want to say that MMP is okay, there is a sense of epic fighting against a whole state machine. For the public, the name of the federal investigation is much louder, and there is no shortage of heroic templates of federal agents in various film and television works.

But in fact, if there is any concern about American social politics, the authority of homeland security is far greater than that of the former, and the behavior is also very tough. This security agency was established after the skyscraper was taken down by a plane, and it was born with an aura of confrontation, and the changes in the political situation in recent years have increased the energy of this agency, and it is always troublesome to be targeted by it.

However, this agency is in charge of counter-terrorism, when did it start to care about business competition?

In the face of Chen Wenhao's question, Xiao Zha was also a little helpless, "I also raised such a question, and the other party replied that uncontrolled artificial intelligence is the biggest hidden danger of terrorist attacks." ”

Chen Wenhao was speechless, this homeland security staff member said it so philosophically.

"Also, after the test, they persuaded me to change the translation program for Facebook. Of course, it's very tactful, and the kind that can't grasp the handle. ”

"They should know that Facebook is also a shareholder in Kamodo."

"Of course, I think that's why they persuade like this."

"Haven't you always claimed to be free of business?"

"After the new owner of the white house, everything changed. Even if no one in Silicon Valley likes that guy, he has his own basic plate and represents the so-called public opinion. ”

Xiaozha couldn't help but complain.

……

After chatting with Xiaoka for a while, I found that there was no more information, so I agreed to continue to inquire about the news, communicate in time, and ended the call.

Dai Yuqian, who had been silent during the period, walked over, leaned against Chen Wenhao's side, put her tender and slender hand on his hand, and asked with concern, "Isn't this annoyance tricky?" ”

It feels like it's out of the scope of commercial competition.,What investigation bureaus, security bureaus have run out.,The style of painting isn't quite right!

Chen Wenhao took her jade hand, "Don't worry, we don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of things." Even if the opposition coalition can use the power of the state apparatus, it will be difficult to delete me. ”

Dai Yuqian snorted and said coquettishly, "Be serious, get down to business!" But seriously, you must be careful when you go abroad in the future, and it is best not to go abroad as much as possible. ”

"Okay, okay, just do as you say. To get back to the point, we need to make a plan. You help me inform Jin Wei and ask him to organize the core management to hold an emergency video conference in an hour. ”

"Okay."

……

At the same time, Chen Wenhao was using consciousness to communicate with Xiaoka, who had not spoken for a long time. "React quickly, if you are silent, everyone will think that the alien artificial intelligence I encountered is fake!"
