PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!

To the north of Yandu, in a group army training base, in a venue similar to a large hangar, a fully enclosed power armor stopped, and the back armor that was streamlined along the spine bounced open, along with the armor of the limbs, revealing the human body and skeleton inside, and the induction belts tied to the limbs and neck could be seen.

The engineer stepped forward to help remove the helmet and untie the induction belt, and the entourage helped the person inside to get off the armor, and it turned out to be an old man with a fat body.

"I've made a lot of adjustments to my body shape", the old man laughed, stretched out his arms and kicked his legs, looking unfinished.

"That's a good thing! The Saudi side is full of praise, and they relied on this to knock the Houthis out of the country", the old man kept looking around the armor.

"When will our troops be equipped?" He asked casually.

"The model on the Saudi side is tailor-made for them, and we are still doing further research," an army general explained, and gave Jiang Yaohua, who was accompanying him, a wink.

Jiang Yaohua continued: "The main thing is that it is too expensive, the Saudi model costs nine million, and the one in front of you, Chairman, is the third-generation improved model, and the current cost is 14 million." ”

"Fourteen million!? Obediently, top a tank! The old man did not hide his surprise.

"We are promoting domestic research institutes to participate in this project and continue to reduce costs," Jiang Yaohua quickly explained: "It is expected that after three years, the cost can be controlled to 5 million, and the performance will be greatly improved, and then it will have the conditions to become active equipment." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Three years is too long, and the Saudis use it easily." Stimulated the Americans, they chased quickly. If the cost can be significantly reduced within two years, a small batch trial should be considered. ”

"Now we are already working on the formation of a formed power armored force," Jiang Yaohua looked at Shang Weidong beside him, and then added: "We have such cooperation with the development unit. Small-scale units will be combat-ready by the end of the year. ”

The old man praised: "Yes, you should pay so much attention, your pace is not slow." ”

He asked again: "The Saudis told me that this thing is a product of Char Heavy Industries, and I heard that it is a private enterprise, and other domestic research institutes are involved, what is the way?" ”

Hearing that it was a secondary technology authorization, the old man nodded: "This is the right thing, we must act according to the laws of the market." In addition to the core areas that are related to the lifeblood of national defense. In other areas, we encourage the participation of private enterprises, which is our general policy. The army should be open-minded, you are doing a good job on this project! ”

The old man made a brief speech here: "You see, the opening up of the army's mechanized equipment has been done very well, and the army has more options for carrying vehicles and even armored vehicles with better performance and lower cost. At the same time, it has also allowed a number of companies to grow and go abroad. The opening up of the aerospace sector is also advancing, and our Mars exploration program can be successful. The participation of a large number of private enterprises is indispensable. ”

"The country is rich now, but technology is developing faster and faster. More and more. You see, such a small power armor costs tens of millions, and the country's money is also limited, and it is impossible to feed all units related to the military industry. This requires the mobilization of the power of society, the power of the people. ”

"In peacetime. Let private enterprises promote technology and application in secondary fields, so as to support the army with the people, and we should learn from the good experience of other countries in this regard. ”

The surrounding circle of generals and officers listened with bated breath, occasionally nodding.

After that, the old man entered the conference room, and there were many fewer people accompanying him. Most of the rest were dressed in military uniforms, and the few who wore camouflage uniforms without collar badges were also officials related to science and technology.

Jiang Yaohua reported on other equipment research projects, and when he heard about artificial intelligence, the old man said: "The International Conference on Artificial Intelligence yesterday gave an award to our scientists in China, commending them for researching a general neuronal chip. ”

Jiang Yaohua gave Shang Weidong another look, and Shang Weidong took a board similar to a blade server handed by his subordinates and put it on the table.

"Chairman, the award-winning research institute is the majority shareholder of Char Heavy Industries. Their neuronal chip was given to us for testing a month ago, and we are going to use it on the wargame deduction system first. ”

The old man looked at the board carefully, and in the middle were four chips similar to large button batteries, which seemed to be the latest neuronal chips.

The old man asked, "Isn't this a generic product?" Everyone will use it, the army uses this, how to solve the problem of secrecy? ”

Shang Weidong explained: "The hardware architecture of this chip is indeed public, but the degree of freedom of programming is very high, and even the instruction set can be freely edited, and we can easily make it a fully enclosed thing." ”

Jiang Yaohua added: "There is also this chip in the power armor just now, and the instruction set and programming language used are another set. ”

The old man was quite curious: "Well, can it be understood that this is a building block, we can pile it up according to our needs, and others can't crack it?" ”

Jiang Yaohua and Zhou Weimin nodded at the same time, this metaphor is actually not appropriate enough, the hardware architecture of the terminator neuron chip is a blank piece of paper, no matter how you draw it, as long as you use a closed instruction set, it is basically impossible to reverse it.

"In this way, we will soon be able to use artificial intelligence in wargames," the old man sighed: "Artificial intelligence, for our country, this technology is a challenge. We have the advantage of being a latecomer, managing it well, using it well, and we will go up at once. If we don't manage it well and use it badly, we become the front waves on the beach. ”

Shang Weidong said seemingly unintentionally: "We Huaxia have taken the lead in software and hardware, as well as concepts, even if we don't focus on support, just normal supervision, so that the private forces can actively and independently develop, we can take the lead." ”

"What should be taken care of is the greatest support," the old man looked at the officials related to science and technology, and said meaningfully: "The United States has IBM and Intel, as well as Google and many high-tech companies. It's not hard to catch up with us. Although we also have high-tech companies such as Chrysanthemum, Inspur and Unisplendour, in terms of artificial intelligence, not only do they not have strong enough leading enterprises, but many companies that only make money are still dragging their feet. ”

"I think the relevant ministries and commissions should pay attention to this aspect. Artificial intelligence is a technology that has a great impact, and we must treat it positively, professionally, cautiously and carefully! ”

An old man raised his glasses and said, "Chairman, I suggest that the work of policies and regulations related to artificial intelligence be brought into the framework of the Central Informatization Working Group. ”

"Yes, yes," the old man nodded.

In an office of the Information Industry Committee, more than a dozen people are talking, and there are images of more than a dozen people on the screen. It shows that this is an important meeting that crosses geographies.

Deputy Director Liang, who presided over the meeting, said: "If you have any opinions, just put them forward, this is just ventilation, not a formal meeting, I hope everyone can speak freely!" ”

On the screen, an old man finally said: "This draft is too targeted, and I think many places need to be adjusted." ”

An official at the scene said: "Professor Li, your statement is inappropriate, and it is a company that occupies 90% of the domestic artificial intelligence market. There are also hundreds of AI experts who have put forward a draft, which is enough to represent the consensus in this field. Who is this for? ”

Another official was direct: "Are you talking about Xia Ming's research institute?" They are not the official establishment of Yan University, and they are doing cutting-edge scientific research, which has nothing to do with the market. ”

An expert at the scene was more direct: "Lao Li, the cicada movement and illusion are indeed engaged in artificial intelligence, but they are taking the evil path!" What did that Xia Ming say? Say to stop the state's encroachment on the will of the individual! This is an infinite liberal tendency! This is anarchism! Are you not afraid of being seen by others as an endorsement for the cicada and help Xia Ming get ahead? ”

An official at the scene shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now this world is the way." It's really a group of demons dancing, people like Xia Ming openly shouted against the government, and they didn't arrest him......"

A thin middle-aged expert on the screen said indignantly: "You guys are talking nonsense! What Xia Ming said is that everyone is self-reliant and self-reliant, and opposes malicious infringement! Are you looking at the country as a fascist?

"Xia Ming: They have made a neuronal chip. Won the grand prize of the International Artificial Intelligence Conference, and did not let them participate in the discussion of the draft, not afraid of the jokes of the world!? ”

The direct-speaking official sneered: "The people of the world laugh? Which world? I only know the world of the party. ”

He pointed to a circle of officials on the scene: "Isn't that here?" ”

"Who doesn't know you're speaking for Chihiro? People like you are a disgrace to the party! The expert gasped for breath.

"That's it! What are you doing with all this inexplicability!? Deputy Director Liang stopped talking, glared at the official, and said leisurely: "What award does foreigners give, what does it have to do with us?" We in China have our own national conditions here. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the secretary beside him, and the secretary clicked the mouse, and on the screen of his laptop, Professor Li in the list and a person surnamed Liu were crossed out.

"Then ......" Deputy Director Liang was about to make a conclusion, when another window popped up on the screen.

"Yo, Haobu!" Deputy Director Liang was quite surprised that the old man wearing glasses in the window was the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and he also served as the director of the committee. But this is only a part-time job, and the standing work is presided over by Deputy Director Liang, so they are all called ministers.

Minister Hao asked directly: "Are you discussing the draft of the AI market regulation?" Why didn't I receive it before? ”

Deputy Director Liang said calmly: "It's only the ventilation link now, so I don't bother you to ...... Hao."

"Who brought it up?" Minister Hao ignored the details and went straight to the point.

The staff sent the draft to Minister Hao, who flipped directly to the part of the proposer, glanced at it and asked, "Why are there no people from the Xu's Artificial Intelligence Research Institute?" There are also no cicadas and illusions? ”

"That's right," Deputy Director Liang repeated the original reason.

"You ......" Minister Hao's face distorted: "You are really not afraid that everyone on the earth will laugh at you!?" The person who won the equivalent Nobel Prize in artificial intelligence was actually excluded from the discussion of artificial intelligence regulations by you!? ”

He smiled softly: "It's as ridiculous as a tiger in a forest where the tiger is temporarily absent and a group of monkeys discussing how to divide the territory!" ”

Hao Bu ...... How do you say that? Deputy Director Liang's face suddenly turned red, and he gritted his teeth and asked.

Minister Hao finally broke out: "Don't you know that the concept of AI has been overturned!" Now it's EI! It was Xia Ming and his institute that put forward the concept that all academics agreed! From now on, everyone is talking about artificial intelligence! This is a brand new thing, and these chickens and bits and pieces of domestic drumming have to obey this thing! ”

"You're also a technical officer, and now you don't have any sensitivity to technology? When you come up with such a regulation, it's like mobile phone technology has matured, and you're still discussing how to put pagers on! How to make a few pager companies monopolize the communication market! This is not only a shame on China's face, but also a drag on the country's feet! Let Europe, the United States, Japan, and those countries run ahead, and you will not be afraid of becoming history-sinners!? ”

Minister Hao, who has always been with the same dust, seemed to have eaten explosives, and the group of people lowered their heads.

The official who was talking to the experts about who the world was just now couldn't bear this breath, and said in a low voice: "That will know, isn't it just mentioning the three laws of EI, telling stories, plagiarizing the three laws of robots in science fiction novels, what's the point?" ”

Although the voice was low, the advanced video conferencing system made Minister Hao hear, and he sneered: "Tell a story? In the past, foreigners came to us to tell stories, didn't you stick your face on the pole? Now we Chinese people have told a story to foreigners, and let them stick their faces on the pole, but you are sneering! ”

His next sentence stabbed the faces of the people in the conference room red and white: "Ask yourself, who are you talking on behalf of sitting here?" ”

Minister Hao's last sentence completely shattered the hearts of these people: "From now on, you don't have to worry about anything related to artificial intelligence, and the central team is directly responsible!" If this draft is still on my desk, I will see who is ignoring discipline and rules! ”

Minister Hao's window disappeared, and there was a dead silence in the conference room, and after a long time, on the screen, the expert surnamed Liu laughed and said: "People like you will be replaced by artificial intelligence in the future!" Not only are they professional, but they also make it clear who they're speaking for! ”
