Chapter 51: Twin Artificial Intelligence

"And we can start working on controlled fusion as well."

Controlled nuclear fusion, Ji Zhen naturally has ideas, because as long as the controllable nuclear fusion is solved, the energy problem will be solved.

At least in the space age, the time of the solar system, there is no need to worry about energy.

Whether it is an anti-gravity building built in mid-air on the Earth in the future, or a space city built on a near-Earth asteroid in the future, it needs the support of energy.

The solution of controlled nuclear fusion means a worldwide change in the energy landscape, energy is not as scarce as it is now, and the price will be greatly reduced.

The reason why Ji Zhen didn't say it before was because he was afraid of causing a conflict of national interests. If he says that controlled nuclear fusion will be carried out, then it will definitely be possible, and at that time, the first to hit is the domestic energy companies.

It's a huge interest group, and it's also part of the country's economy, and it's still a big part of it.

And now that the chief has taken the initiative to propose it, then it doesn't matter if Ji Zhen says it like this.

"Controlled nuclear fusion is something the whole world is doing, are you sure?" The chief was stunned for a moment, and then asked Ji Zhen.

"Sure." Ji Zhen nodded, "But it may take a little longer." ”

He still has an anti-gravity project, a life enhancement project, and if he adds a controlled fusion project now, then time will be even tighter.

"No problem."

The chief looked at the progress on the American side on the top of the document and nodded. He knows that controlled nuclear fusion is a project that has lasted for 50 years, and it is not something that can be solved by saying that it will be solved.

Scientific research is different from other things, in terms of scientific research, even if you are in a hurry, you are pressing, you can't solve it or you can't solve it.

"I'm not worried about controlled nuclear fusion, but I'm very interested in their superconducting materials and artificial intelligence."

Ji Zhen said with a surprised expression on his face.

And when he saw that the expression on the chief's face was a little serious, he immediately spoke to make up for it.

"Don't worry, it's not that we think the United States can threaten us. Just purely technically interested. ”

"No matter how good superconducting materials are, they are still in the range of materials in the current era. And the anti-gravity materials of our country have opened up another system of materials science. Superconducting materials alone cannot compete with the entire system of anti-gravity materials. ”

"As for artificial intelligence, as far as I know, a lot of companies are doing this, and the same is true for the national side, so it seems to have worked, right?"

Ji Zhen explained to the chief one by one to dispel the chief's concerns.

On top of material science, Huaxia has an additional material system, and there is no need to worry about it at all. In terms of artificial intelligence, in terms of progress, it is already ahead of the United States.

So, in all three, there is no need to worry about information, materials and energy.

Ji Zhen, as the most important national treasure in China and the most bewitching genius professor, said obviously very content.

Since he said so, the chief also saw the relaxed expression on Ji Zhen's face, full of confidence.

As a result, the chief's heart also relaxed.

"What's a funny way?"

After revealing the three worries, the chief's interest was placed on the sentence that Ji Zhen had just said.

Ji Zhen said with a smile: "The scientific and technological heritage of the United States is still very rich. This superconducting material focuses on semiconductors and is aimed at artificial intelligence. ”

"There are many research directions for artificial intelligence, but no matter which one it is, the requirements for memory and processors are very high. Existing materials and existing chip designs cannot meet the requirements of artificial intelligence. ”

Ji Zhen flipped through the part of the document about superconducting materials and pointed to the chief, "However, if they solve this superconducting material, it can be used on the chip, and artificial intelligence will barely be enough at that time." ”

The chief lowered his head and looked at it, but he couldn't understand it at all, a series of terms and words were entangled, and he didn't recognize it at all.

"Artificial intelligence is demanding from computers, so how can we solve it?"

Ji Zhen didn't expect that the chief turned around and turned back, perhaps because his explanation was too broad.

"Anti-gravity materials science can solve it, but I haven't touched this aspect, so I don't know where it's going."

Ji Zhen is in charge of big projects, and they are projects that others have no clue about, such as anti-gravity and life enhancement.

As for anti-gravity materials, he is not in charge of projects on chip materials. So he really doesn't know.

But anti-gravity materials science can indeed solve the chip problem needed for artificial intelligence.

This is something that the world within the Refining Boundary Bead has proven this.

The chief nodded, and did not continue to ask, having already made up his mind to find out later.

Ji Zhen turned the topic to artificial intelligence.

"The idea of AI research and development in the United States is very interesting and a good one. They use big data to develop artificial intelligence based on search engines. ”

The chief fully carried forward the style of asking questions if he didn't understand, "What are the advantages and disadvantages compared with our artificial intelligence research and development ideas?" ”

Ji Zhen tilted his head and thought about it, considering the way the chief accepted it, it took half a minute to organize the language, and then he said.

"Our R&D idea is from scratch, just like giving birth to a child, slowly cultivated, and accompanied by the growth of artificial intelligence."

"And the R&D idea of the United States is like finding a body first, and then filling the body with thoughts."

"Our way of thinking will be a little more difficult in the early stage, but once it goes well, the road will continue to go smoothly. The idea of the United States, filled with big data, will progress quickly in the early stage, but there will be hidden dangers later. ”

What are the specific hidden dangers, Ji Zhen will not continue to talk to the chief. There are all kinds of possibilities, and I can talk about it for two or three days.

And that's not something the chief needs to be concerned about.

The chief pondered for a moment and said, "Since the research ideas of the United States are making rapid progress in the early stage, can we refer to it!" ”

"Can we do both research projects, and the early progress of big data is very fast, so we will use the artificial intelligence of big data first, wait until our own artificial intelligence research and development is complete, and then switch to our own artificial intelligence?"

Ji Zhen was stunned, he really hadn't considered this situation.

When it comes to big data, our domestic data is no worse than that of foreign countries, and even the data is more detailed and complex.

Big data in the United States also needs to consider privacy issues, while in China, convenience overrides privacy.

All kinds of conveniences at the cost of exposing privacy. For example, all kinds of software on mobile phones basically steal privacy.

Otherwise, the software won't be used at all.

"It should work!" Ji Zhen thought carefully about the chief's thoughts, nodded and said, "However, regarding the research and development of artificial intelligence, we still need to be more cautious. ”
