Chapter 117: Delayed Release of Voice Translator
Intelligent translation has been online for many days, and has been well received by all researchers, students, and enterprises who need a large number of translations.
However, in the translation world, the reputation of intelligent translation is very poor.
"Mr. Zhong, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has made an appointment with you." The phone from the administrative front desk came into the office and was answered by Andromeda to report to Zhong Zixing.
"Please come in!" Zhong Zixing paused.
When I met him yesterday, he figured out that the consequences of the recent launch of translation software needed to be discussed.
This kind of thing really needs to be dealt with, because there is a lack of foreshadowing, so that those who make a living as translators do not even understand the cause and effect, and they are inexplicably dismissed.
didn't wait long, Zhong Zixing saw the receptionist leading two men and two women into the office, and after seeing the people clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned and hurriedly greeted him.
"Teacher? How did you get here? ”
When he was studying at Tsinghua University, he was involved in several subjects, such as mathematics, computer science, biology, etc., and also enrolled in many elective courses that were worth taking.
Almost all of these lecturers are well-known in their respective fields.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is led by Zheng Li, a teacher who has led Zhong Zixing, who is also the vice president of the Computer Association and a member of the Information Technology Standardization Technical Committee.
"Teacher, have you joined the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology?"
"It's just a name, it happens to be in Hangzhou, so I'm here to see you." Zheng Li smiled and sat down, and the three people behind her also sat down at the same time.
"Zixing, your Neutron Star Technology Group has done a good job, all the fields involved are outstanding in the market, there is no competition, and the above has also been praised by name."
Zhong Zixing suddenly said modestly: "The teacher is overrated, we are just obsessed with technology, as for whether we can lead or not, it is secondary." ”
"Don't be too modest, it wasn't like that when you first started school." Zheng Li shook her head and smiled.
"This time, I just want to inform you that the translation software of Neutron Star Technology has caused a lot of resentment in the past half a month, and it has alarmed the above."
The layoffs of large enterprises that are in line with international standards almost at the same time have aroused investigation by relevant departments.
They found that after the products of Neutron Star Technology applied for some patents and trademarks, the review was quickly passed and directly released to the third-party market.
"It's me who owes it to consideration." Zhong Zixing was silent for a while, and said: "At that time, I only cared about change, and I didn't think about deeper issues. ”
As a non-political person, we can only see a small part of the current social situation, and it is certainly difficult for us to keep up with the group of people who control the overall situation of the whole country, who are bent on rapidly improving the level of domestic science and technology, but forget the consequences.
Technology changes the world, is a subtle process, if you don't do some actions in advance to make people prepared, a sudden blow will indeed cause a certain amount of turmoil.
And that's only at home, if it were abroad, the marchers would have blocked the door of the company and smashed rotten eggs, or blocked the Pentagon.
You don't see how many people abroad are worried about the consequences of artificial intelligence, and there are so many parades that you are immune.
Artificial intelligence will explode productivity and increase unemployment, because this is one of the core technologies of the fourth industrial revolution, and it will inevitably be accompanied by a new round of progress.
These are two phenomena that are completely different from the improvement of basic technology.
"Teacher, do you want to take the intelligent translation off the shelves this time?"
"Hahaha, don't think too much." Zheng Li said with a hearty smile, "It has been online and suddenly offline, and the turmoil still exists, and then scientific researchers, students and enterprises will make trouble." ”
"It's not all about neutron stars this time. The Ministry of Information is also partly responsible, and their testers at the time did not use too professional actions to understand the software, and did not consider that intelligent translation can be so powerful. ”
"I'm here to inform you that you are not going to take it off the shelves, but to launch intelligent translation for the time being, and postpone the invitation of the manufacturer of the instant voice translator to the beginning of next year, so that at least the translators are prepared to change careers."
"In the future, if there is any transformative technology developed suddenly, don't be silent like this time, and do a good job of publicity and foreshadowing to make people accept."
Just like Ali online, how much impact has it had on physical stores? But the turmoil caused is actually very small, because the chain up and down them has been paved for many years, and this is what makes people feel at ease.
The launch of intelligent translation software, even many people in the technology group do not know, it was released so suddenly, and there is no process and understanding for people to know.
Although the technology is good, the events are too abrupt.
"Teacher, I understand, the next time a new technology comes out, it will definitely send a notice to the society, so that the relevant people can prepare for the transfer of the industry in advance."
It's just a mental preparation, and a sudden change of career will definitely lead to a large number of people who are not adaptable.
However, the implementation of science and technology cannot be stopped, and the advanced will inevitably eliminate the backward, and it cannot be stopped.
"Hmm!" Zheng Li nodded, and took out an invitation letter from her briefcase: "In addition to informing you of this matter this time, I want to invite you to the Internet conference in a month's time." ”
The Internet Conference has been held for the eighth time at the Beijing International Convention Center.
Zhong Zixing was too lazy to go to a meeting like this, because he could let someone else attend it instead of him at any time.
However, he has already thought about communication from the Internet, and some things must be negotiated with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, so he has to go.
"Okay teacher, I'll be there on time." Zhong Zixing responded.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology came and went quickly, and the main purpose of this arrival was to delay the cooperation between Neutron Star Technology's instant voice translation and translator manufacturers.
Most of the translators on the Internet are part-time, and the translators of documents and papers are also specially hired by large enterprises that are in line with international standards, and there are many bases, and face-to-face communication and translation are the positions of most translators.
The delay in the release takes into account such a group of people and informs them to think of a way out in advance.
......
This unexpected incident passed quickly, and the time was the end of the month.
The headquarters of Neutron Star Technology Group is located in an open space at the mouth of the sea, and Zhong Zixing took the time to look at the completion of the project.
The foundations and underground laboratories have been dug up, and three of the nine Ring buildings have even been built with several floors, which is very efficient.
If there are no external factors, it is expected that two or three departments will be able to relocate in March or April next year.
As for the Neutron Battlestar and the other six Star Ring buildings and staff dormitories, it will take a long time.
After inspecting, Zhong Zixing and Li Ying went to the industrial zone a few kilometers away.
Originally, Zhong Dad's wafer factory was here, and it used to be a low-end chip foundry, but because there was not much profit and the financial crisis, the major shareholders sold the wafer factory to Taiji Electric after joint discussion.
Of course, Zhong Zixing did not come here to take back the wafer factory, but to come and see a small material factory that had just been acquired.
The personnel of the Material Origin Department have arrived, and Wu Wanrou has traveled to many places, spending nearly two months and recruiting more than 200 talents.
The Neutron Battlestar Laboratory was not built, so it could only acquire a small material factory first, and settle down this departmental laboratory that was about to be established.
In material research and development, there must be a place for large-scale physical experiments.
