Chapter 1 Incurable Students

Next Chapter

“…… Thanks to this student's explanation, it is indeed a very good work! As a teacher, I am very grateful! Okay, which student's turn is next, let me see the list......"

In the spacious and bright classroom, a fat white-haired professor in his sixties, with a Mediterranean hairstyle, a big belly, and a suit and leather shoes, was happily lowering his head and checking the list of students through the terminal screen on the podium.

The fat professor's name is Ryan Porter, so everyone calls him Professor Porter, if he is a familiar person, they like to call him Old Porter affectionately, and Old Porter does have a reason to be happy, because today is a good day for the graduation work of the students in the software engineering class he brought with him, and it is also a good day for him to gain more glory.

As a senior professor of software engineering, the group of students he brought out is indeed excellent, and so far, the students have shown quite good work, which can be seen from the look of surprise, envy and jealousy on the faces of their peers from other schools who sat in the long row at the back of the classroom.

The New Aachen School of Electrophysics where he teaches is not the best university in the New Frankish galaxy, and it is not even ranked among the many colleges in the capital city of New Aachen, but what does it matter? His previous software engineering students are so good, in the New Aachen Star or even the New Frankish Galaxy, who has a little relationship with software engineering in the past ten years, who does not know that the students taught by the old Porter who specializes in software engineering at the New Aachen School of Electronic Physics are sought-after goods in the industry?

Especially this class of students, it is the proud work of old Porter's many years of teaching career, the entire class of sixty-nine students, sixty-eight have received high-salary offers from large and small companies in the galaxy half a year ago, and they have been coaxed out before graduation. Such a grand occasion, although I dare not say that it is the last, but it can also be called unprecedented, right?

However, after seeing the name of the next student on the student list who was about to show his work on stage, the reserved smile that had been hanging on Old Porter's face froze slightly.

It was a very ordinary Oriental name, but in the eyes of Old Porter, this ordinary Oriental name was a bit glaring.

Sixty-eight of the sixty-nine students in this class received their offers in advance, which meant that one student had not yet found a job, which had to be said to make Old Porter feel very regretful.

"Zhao Fan!"

After cleaning up his mood, Old Potter quietly called out the name: "Now everyone welcomes Zhao Fan to show his graduation work to everyone!" ”

As he spoke, the students began to applaud, and then in the seat by the window on the right side of the classroom, a figure stood up.

It was a slightly thin young boy, who, like the other students, was no more than eighteen years old, wearing the red student uniform of the New Aachen School of Electronic Physics, but his black hair and eyes, yellow skin, and slightly shorter size than the rest of his classmates all indicated that he was an Oriental.

Since the Earth Federation unified the earth hundreds of years ago and led mankind to start marching into the universe, the human world has formed a unified situation for the first time, but the estrangement between different races is obviously not so easy to eliminate, and the opposition and conflict between Eastern and Western cultures with different origins have always existed, and even the last time the Great War that made the Earth Federation collapse is actually not without this reason.

Most of the students led by Old Porter are traditional Western whites, and there are also a few blacks, but the yellow-skinned Oriental race is only Zhao Fan.

But that's what makes him special, and not just because of that.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Fan left his seat and walked towards the podium, followed by a slightly dilapidated humanoid housekeeping robot.

"Oh my God! It can't be that learning aI again, right? ”

"Does that need to be said? Yes definitely! He's got that Mary Type 3 with him! ”

"Oh my God, spare me! Why hasn't he given up yet? ”

"He's a weirdo! How many times did Professor Potter persuade him? ”

“……”

Seeing the housekeeping robot behind Zhao Fan, the students were a little commotional, and many of them were whispering, talking to each other, attracting the attention of everyone who was visiting the teaching at the back of the classroom.

Old Porter also sighed, and he was really a little helpless about Zhao Fan, a student.

The development of human software engineering to the present, for aI, that is, artificial intelligence, has also come to a dead end, the kind of self-aware artificial intelligence that has been talked about by people in countless film and television works has long been proven to be just a beautiful fantasy, the so-called three laws of robots have also become an empty phrase because robots began to be put on the battlefield in large numbers, computers are computers, although in some aspects are far stronger than the human brain, but the computer cannot have the function of the human brain after all, It is even less likely to have a so-called sense of self.

In the final analysis, the framework of the computer is dead, how it works, how to calculate, are all formulated by the designer from the beginning, beyond this framework, the computer can do nothing, it can simulate human thinking behavior within the designed framework, and make corresponding actions, but that's all, simulation can only be a simulation forever, it cannot really become the kind of existence it simulated, and therefore, the robot can only be a robot, a tool made by human beings in order to meet their own needs, It is never possible to become a real living being.

For example, Zhao Fan followed behind at this time called Mary 3 humanoid housekeeping robot, which is a housekeeping robot known as having advanced artificial intelligence, full waterproof alloy body, with strong and flexible limbs and joints, built-in cleaning, cooking, gardening and firefighting modules, can use a variety of household appliances and tools and independently judge when to clean the house for the owner, cook food, mow the lawn, and can also take the initiative to respond to disasters, and can also play the role of an alarm clock every morning, and wake up the owner on time, But if you ask it to play a game of football or play the piano or something, it can't do anything.

Whether it is innate hardware or acquired software, it limits the more functions of this robot.

As for the learning aI that was once all the rage, it has long been abandoned by people, and it is considered to be a redundant move - the robot does not need to learn, what functions do you need, and it is necessary to develop a corresponding program module to install it, which is convenient and convenient, where does the robot need to learn by itself?

There's no need for it!

Just like Zhao Fan's Mary 3 robot, if you install some other aspects of software, you can have some extra functions, although there may be some problems in terms of completion due to hardware reasons, but the important thing is that you don't need to learn, just a simple software installation process, everything is done.

Therefore, when the talented Zhao Fan began to drum up his learning aI in one more way, he became a weirdo in the eyes of Old Porter and his classmates. It's not that no one has persuaded him, and Old Potter has also approached Zhao Fan for this matter more than once, but Zhao Fan still goes his own way, and over time, everyone goes with him.

What's even more speechless is that there are not no companies and organizations willing to hire Zhao Fan, after all, although he loves learning aI, this can't hide his amazing talent in software engineering, but I don't know what Zhao Fan thinks, he actually rejected all the olive branches thrown to him by these companies and organizations, including a well-known transgalactic enterprise in the universe - this company is one of the initiators of the business consortium that occupies a place among the four major forces in the universe today, and it is definitely a behemoth-like existence. Every year in the New Franconian system, I don't know how many young people sharpen their heads and want to drill into it.

Because of this, Zhao Fan became the only student in the class who did not find a good job before graduation, and he was once again recognized by his classmates and teachers as a hopeless weirdo.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that Zhao Fan would be obsessed with this level, not only insisting on his own research, but also taking the ridiculous learning aI as his graduation work, and even preparing to show it in public when there were foreign school personnel visiting!

Is he trying to make himself a disgrace as a graduate of the new Aachen Institute of Electronic Physics?

This hopelessly stupid!
