"It's a very obvious fact that we're in the early stages of a new tech explosion."

With Ye Ming's voice, the six Chinese characters "The Fourth Industrial Revolution" appeared on the curtain.

In order to take care of a foreign employee, the English translation is marked below the Chinese characters.

"The definition and discussion of the Fourth Industrial Revolution began many years ago. In the industrial world, the fourth industrial revolution is defined as intelligent manufacturing, production informatization, and the Internet of Everything - in essence, if we dissect all the packaging, we will see that these glamorous definitions are essentially an extension of the existing Internet. ”

"But in academia, in science, the definition is a little bit more advanced, and in my opinion, it's a little bit more accurate." Ye Ming took a sip of the teacup and looked at everyone with a smile: "Breaking the shackles of energy, creative new materials, creative new theories, and creative ways of life and production are the signs of the fourth industrial revolution - that is, the signs of a new round of scientific and technological explosions." ”

"Of course, there are also people who say controlled nuclear fusion, new materials, quantum technology, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, these are the major fields."

"We can see that no matter what the definition is, we can actually hear footsteps now."

With Ye Ming's voice, the PPT began to turn the page.

"We started with controlled nuclear fusion."

"Controlled nuclear fusion, the first commercial demonstration reactor will be completed within five years."

Everyone was slightly stunned, and then applauded.

……

Carthus had been listening attentively, and when the applause rang out, he was stunned.

"Ye, why five years?"

"Because there's already been a breakthrough in technology." Ye Ming smiled and explained very perfunctorily.

It may be that Carter did not know that he was the main designer of the fusion reactor project.

The core team of Jizhi Technology is mainly composed of the proud disciples of Professor Tang and Chen - in other companies, they obviously do not have the opportunity to be independent.

But in Jizhi Technology...... Let's put it this way, what is needed most is their uncompromising execution.

Yang Chaoxiong applauded and asked with a smile: "Ye Ming, the subject has been won?" Can you say that? ”

Ye Ming coughed: "I can't say much." ”

"Haha, okay. But just because you're still sitting here doesn't mean it's top secret, right? ”

"Well, after all, this is for the benefit of mankind, not the destruction of mankind." Ye Ming turned the next page with a smile: "Let's look at the materials." ”

"In the field of materials, you don't need me to introduce more, right?"

The crowd laughed.

In a sense, Jizhi Technology is the largest "new material enterprise".

According to ...... New equation ......"

Yang Chaoxiong corrected Ye Ming: "Ye's equation." ”

"Ahem...... Well, the Yeh's equation. Ye Ming smiled wryly—it was indeed difficult for him to say the equation and limit named after his last name until now.

"According to the Yip's equation, many laboratories have now designed a variety of new materials, such as the polyurethane-like material GTDBRT, which can be used perfectly to fill gaps and has excellent fire performance, and the polyacrylonitrile-like material GTCCD, which has a strength comparable to carbon fiber – speaking of which, our robots can use it to ......"

"These are born out of hybrid chip-based programmable materials, and they either open up new areas, replace old materials, or solve old problems...... In short, the future is bright. ”

Ye Ming continued to turn the page.

"Let's skip genetic engineering and move on to a new life."

"Actually, I agree with one sentence, which is that artificial intelligence changes the world - if it doesn't change, it's just because artificial intelligence isn't smart enough."

This time, there was an indescribable emotion on everyone's faces.

Because they are the closest people in this world to the only one in the world who has so far been "strong artificial intelligence".

They knew too well what it meant for Aita's birth.

If it weren't for the fact that Aita couldn't be transplanted, otherwise......

Let's put it this way, according to Aita's intelligence, she can directly take over factories, mines, oceans, space, docks, vehicles......

This is the AI that can truly change the world.

"When we have Aita, we have the capital to disrupt all the Internet and IT industries that rely on algorithms. Of course, this involves cooperation with capital or confrontation......" Ye Ming smiled: "But now that I look at it, it seems that the contradiction is a little irreconcilable?" ”

Liu Hong is in charge of the AI department, and nodded with emotion when he heard this: "That's right, we have talked many times with some first- and second-tier Internet giants at home and abroad...... As a result, we talked about it and found that our contradictions were structural. ”

Ye Ming also nodded.

Although he is not responsible for the business model, in order to hold this meeting, he chatted with Tang Chen and the two teachers for a long time yesterday, and he has a thorough understanding of the overall situation of the company.

From the date of the release of Aita, whether it is Microsoft, Google, Facebook, or the domestic giants TenX and ALI, Byte and other first-line giants, or Zhihu, bilibili, Weibo, etc......

In fact, they all came to the door.

The first-tier giants are more about acquisitions, shareholdings, and technical cooperation, while the second-tier giants are more about business cooperation.

But no matter how you work together...... At the moment, it seems to be difficult.

First of all, it is impossible to sell Jizhi Technology; Secondly, Jizhi Technology is not short of money now, and finally, it is impossible for Aita to be shared and copied.

When these three constraints are restricted, the road of cooperation will be narrowed.

Even the social media that needs Aita the most in need of it, for Aita to appear in their products, they need to move their database to the provincial capital, give it to Aita, and then get Aita deeply involved - at least yet, no better solution has been found.

You say, how can there be such cooperation?

"So, they don't want to believe us, so how can the needs of the people be satisfied?" Ye Ming smiled and turned the page again.

"The PC era is the first generation of the Internet, and the mobile phone era is the second generation of mobile Internet, huh...... I think the third generation of the Internet of Things is a pseudo-concept, and it doesn't match a generation. The real third-generation Internet should be the holographic era. ”

On the PPT, the three big words "Metaverse" are displayed.

Looking at these three words, everyone present once again had strange expressions.

With the hype of capital, the word metaverse has actually become a bit rotten, and even "stinky".

"Actually, I don't want to use that word." Seeing everyone's expressions, Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "But who made it easy to understand?" ”

Yang Chaoxiong smiled humorously: "Okay, I understand what you meant at the beginning, so which way do we go to achieve virtual reality technology?" ”

Ye Ming took a sip of coffee: "Light field display technology." ”

- This is something he has been wanting to get involved in since last year, but Old Tang said that he will talk about it when he has money later.

Now, Jizhi Technology has money, and the machine is ripe at that time.

"In fact, after the third generation of the Internet, there is also the fourth generation of the Internet - brain-computer interconnection."

"Even I think that the technology of brain-computer interconnection will become mature in a very short period of time."

Ye Ming smiled and sighed: "But it's a pity. ”

"It's far more difficult for humans to accept having a chip in their head than it is to realize the technology itself."

Then, he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and let Aita bring humanity into the era of holographic simulation.
