On December XX, 2116, another city: Berlin, Gilman, Western Europe.

Tang Jingtao took a car from the airport to the Lex Building in the western suburbs of Berlin.

He took the elevator to the top of the "Lex" building. This is Gilman, which is very different from country C, and the most important difference is that there is no smog and no pollution.

Tang Jingtao sighed that once upon a time, as the defeated country of the Second Transtar War, the Gilman country, for many years, has been shrouded in the "haze" of the defeated country, and 100 years have passed, the "haze" of the defeated country has long been dissipated, and the country has seen the blue sky again, but at that time, as the victorious country, country C is now shrouded in haze.

The building of Gilman is also different from the building of country C, and there is no communication base station on the top of the "Lex" building, but a glass pyramid, and in the pyramid, it is the office space of the senior administrators of the company.

According to Tang Jingtao, Lex belongs to the "Mercedes" group and is responsible for the research and development of the group's AI, that is, artificial intelligence. The luxury cars of the Mercedes series are equipped with artificial intelligence systems developed by the company Lex.

Tang Jingtao hopes that one day he can also have such an office space, in the glass pyramid, he can look up at the blue sky, enjoy the sunshine, and feel like the pharaoh of Egypt, instead of living in the haze, not seeing the distance, like a mouse. (What a pity!) Tang Jingtao knew that he could only come here as a technical advisor for the time being.

Tang also doesn't know German, however, with the presence of a translation robot, language is naturally not an obstacle - the robot is only the size of a fountain pen, inserted in Dr. Tang's shirt pocket, it looks like a fountain pen, and can also be used to write.

In the "Pyramid", Tang Jingtao met the president of "Lex", Raltz, a purebred Gilman with blond hair and blue eyes.

"You know, Tang, our 'stand-in' project has hit a bottleneck, and there is a problem with the transmission efficiency between the brain and the sensor helmet, which is causing a delay ......," Raltz said during the meeting with Tang. In the words of you C-people, they are 'a little disobedient!' ’”。

The "stand-in" project is very similar to a drone, except that stand-in robots cannot fly, and at the same time, they are only puppets controlled by humans, with no independent intelligence. In commercial propaganda, future soldiers can remotely manipulate them to fight, and disabled people can manipulate them to go to the market to buy groceries and cook...... This project has a huge market in both military and civilian use, and it was already a military project about 50 years ago, and now many countries have decided to industrialize and civilianize.

Tang Jingtao knew that "Lex" certainly wanted to get the big order from Country C, so he chose to cooperate with "Feiyun". Of course, the cooperation between the two companies does not include artificial intelligence and other state secret-level technologies, and in the field of artificial intelligence, the two companies are competitive.

(They're a little disobedient?) When Raltz said these words, Tang Jingtao almost laughed, because the president's C pronunciation was so strange, like a donkey gnawing on tree bark.

"Maybe the stand-ins don't want to be puppets of humans, maybe they want to do what they love, so they always have to think for a moment before they carry out their master's orders." Tang Jingtao quipped.

Raltz laughed: "According to what you mean, it shouldn't be our stand-in who has become self-aware, then we haven't picked up a big treasure, isn't that what our company that develops artificial intelligence really wants?" ”

Tang Jingtao also smiled and recalled Chen Guangbiao's brain replacement surgery:

If you accidentally get a real artificial intelligence, that is, the "humanoid artificial intelligence" prohibited by the legal provisions of the "Transand Human Security Law", it is really a big bargain.

In fact, at that time, in the process of Chen Guangbiao's brain change, a "human-like artificial intelligence" had been produced, and this "human-like intelligence" is now "living" in Feiyun's quantum database. This "humanoid intelligence" is a mixture of multiple consciousnesses, there is no self-consciousness at the moment, but it is not in a "baby" state, this humanoid intelligence is very intelligent, the degree of intelligence far exceeds that of adults, however, it has no self-awareness. In its knowledge, there are "you", "you", "it", "he", "she", "they", "everyone", "we" - only, this consciousness of "me" and "myself" was deleted by Tang Jingtao for the sake of safety.

Tang Jingtao privately called this "humanoid intelligence" "Morning Mist No. 1". "Morning Mist No. 1" is one of the results of Chen Guangbiao's brain replacement surgery. Due to the fact that "Morning Mist No. 1" has some flaws that cannot be explained, Tang Jingtao has been planning, if he can find "Morning Mist No. 2" from Zhang Xiaozhu, through comparison, maybe he can solve the defects on "Morning Mist No. 1".

"Doctor, I heard that you also participated in that operation half a year ago." Raltz asked, "I don't know if there's anything to gain." ”

Tang Jingtao knew that Ralz still had to find out about the news after all. Who is dumber than whom? Since this topic has been discussed, let's talk about it, and there is no need to take the initiative to bring up this topic yourself.

"Actually, there are still some gains," Tang Jingtao said with a smile, "At least, through the data of this experiment, we can improve our 'quantum repeater', and there is still a big gap between our 'repeater' and 'Lex'......"

Tang Jingtao talked about the "repeater" vigorously, he knew that Ralz wanted to ask about artificial intelligence, but he didn't say a word about artificial intelligence.

"President, you just mentioned, the bottleneck problem of 'stand-in', in my opinion, we still have to solve the nerve conduction problem, that is, the material problem," Tang Jingtao said, "Before the new nerve conduction materials come out, we don't seem to have a better way, and the operation we participated in in July, no new nerve conduction materials were provided in all aspects, so there seems to be no substantial gain." ”

"Oh?" Ralz touched his chin with a suspicious look, he thought for a while, and then asked, "Except for nerve conduction materials, can't we break through in other aspects?" Tang, I said that you people from country C just love to sell Guanzi. ”

Tang Jingtao thought about it, Raltz didn't like others to tell him that there was only one way to do something, so: "Of course you can break through in other aspects," Tang Jingtao replied without hesitation.

(In this operation, I saw a new way to analyze human brain signals, which can reduce more unnecessary noise signals, and find out what the brain really wants to express faster and more accurately, which is a new algorithm that leaps forward) Tang Jingtao thought, in fact, this AI algorithm is also the thinking method of "Morning Mist No. 1" (but this thing cannot be handed over to the Gilman Guoyan, since it is the result of our country C, it should first be planted in country C).

"We improve the AI algorithm, maybe we can make a breakthrough,Tang Jingtao said,However,He didn't plan to use the algorithm of "Morning Mist No. 1" to make transactions, before "Morning Mist No. 1", Tang Jingtao designed a lot of AI algorithms, anyway, now with "Morning Mist No. 1", those algorithms are useless, it is better to take them out and "exchange some money".

"Oh? AI algorithms? Raltz asked, frowning a little.

"Yes." Tang Jingtao nodded in confirmation, "It's not ......"

"Well, I say, Doctor, you don't sell your official position anymore." Raltz smiled impatiently.

"President, don't worry," Tang Jingtao explained with a smile, "I confirm that there is an algorithm that may improve the speed of the 'stand-in' interpretation of the brain, but whether it is compatible with the program of the 'Lex' company, I still have to talk to the technical manager of your company about this, and do some tests or something......"
