In the following days, the trend of A-shares tended to be relatively flat, the daily trading volume also dropped to about six or seven hundred billion, and the market index also rose steadily, recovering the 3,000-point mark again.

On Friday, December 19, the Shanghai Composite Index closed up +1.67% at 3,108.60 points, which not only completely reversed the big black candle on December 9 and hit a new high for the year.

Shortly after the market closed in the afternoon, Fang Hong received a call from Chen Yu, and then came to the headquarters of Quantitative Capital.

As soon as Fang Hong arrived at the company, he just met Chen Yu, and the latter took him to the operation department of the company's "Xiao Aya".

Chen Yu pointed to the huge high-definition screen in front of him and said: "Xiao Aya's virtual image project has been fully completed, including us, in order to make the virtual world more real, we have created it with reference to the new city as a template, and it has become a place where Xiao Aya's classmates can move automatically, not limited to one room, you can go out and visit the entire virtual new city." ”

In order to be able to operate normally and steadily, Quantitative Capital has separately built a computing center and data center for Xiao Aya, which can be called a daughter's treatment.

This is not something that ordinary people can do, because it is all about burning money, and the daily operation alone is a huge amount.

Proper "loser" behavior, Chen Yu can be regarded as learning the essence from Fang Hong.

But at this moment, Chen Yu looked back at a technician under his hand and snapped his fingers, who understood his meaning and quickly went to operate.

The high-definition screen in front of him quickly showed a picture of a virtual room, and at first glance it was the layout of the girl's private boudoir, and after a while, Fang Hong saw Xiao Aya's classmate walk into the camera frame.

A lifelike girl in the flower season is presented in front of her, and her facial features and figure are perfect, because the image of Xiao Aya's classmate is the result of artificial and careful design.

At this time, Chen Yu looked at the screen and said, "Xiao Aya, say hello to the boss." ”

As soon as his words fell, Xiao Aya, who was on the screen, looked at Fang Hong and beckoned with a sweet smile: "Boss, good afternoon." ”

Fang Hong was slightly stunned, glanced at Xiao Aya, and then turned his head to look at Chen Yu: "Good boy, there is something, it greatly exceeds my expectations." ”

With this small move, it has been demonstrated that the underlying AI technology behind Xiao Aya's classmates has been unrivaled among its peers, and Xiao Aya's character image and room background, this image processing, visual technology and light and shadow special effects are also a must.

In addition, Xiao Aya's voice source is also a highlight, and the synthesized voice output when speaking is full of emotion, which is not available at present in other artificial intelligence.

I haven't paid attention to it for a while, and Fang Hong didn't expect that Chen Yu's team would actually reach this level.

Xiao Aya's character image and background environment are simply not too real, all of this is fake, but it is so real.

At this time, Chen Yu looked at Xiao Aya on the screen and said, "Xiao Aya, you will play a cameo role as a guide and take the boss to see Xincheng." ”

Fang Hong looked at it with interest, and Xiao Aya responded, "Okay, wait a while, I'll change my clothes." ”

Chen Yu looked at Fang Hong and said: "Xiao Aya's AI voice model can now basically communicate with people without barriers, it should be said that she is now the most accurate 'understanding' of human language among all the AI on the market, if the picture is covered, it is difficult for people to distinguish whether it is a person or an artificial intelligence who is talking to him." ”

This is just the tip of the iceberg that can bring about great changes and innovations in many industries.

For example, one of the technologies behind this can provide AI customer service services to many enterprises, because the communication with people has been extremely smooth, and if it is not specifically marked as AI customer service, people who call the customer service hotline for consultation will not be able to distinguish that it is artificial intelligence.

Another example is voice navigation or something, these are just some small scenarios of technical applications.

Xiao Aya's virtual image has reached such a height, and the future film and television industry and visual effects will also have an unprecedented impact on the actors.

After a while, Xiao Aya changed into her outfit and appeared in the picture again: "Two bosses, can you go?" ”

Chen Yu smiled: "Yes." ”

So, the picture in the camera presents a third perspective, and follows Xiao Aya's classmate out of her boudoir and to the outside of the house.

The scene outside quickly caught Fang Hong's eyes, Xiao Aya's place of residence was in the center of the virtual new city, and at the moment she was strolling through the lively streets, and some passers-by who served as background boards were also lifelike.

After entering the subway, the glass of the seat next to her is comparable to a magic mirror, which can not only show her real-time location, but also be able to see all the route maps at a glance, and also recommend delicious scenery.

Fang Hong, who was watching, was also slightly stunned for a moment when he saw those road maps, Chen Yu really virtualized the entire new city in equal proportions, and these subway road maps were exactly the same as in reality.

Fang Hong is not ignorant of technology, he also knows that these scenes presented in front of him must have a huge computing center and the support of a data center behind them to run so smoothly.

This is not something that ordinary companies can play, because it is really too much to burn money.

Every frame and every second of these pictures are costly, and the electricity bill of the computing center and data center alone is not a small amount.

However, Fang Hong is not worried about money at all, and he also recognizes it very much, because raising the cost is actually raising the cost of entering the industry, which will discourage others, so as to indirectly eliminate the emergence of competitors.

In fact, this method also exists in many industries, such as the game industry, where those well-known game developer giants are developing triple-A game masterpieces, and the development cost is 100 million US dollars, 200 million US dollars or even higher.

In addition to the high cost of high-quality game products, another key point is the exclusive attribute, resulting in small and medium-sized game developers simply unable to get involved in this market.

The logic is the same.

said that at this moment, Xiao Aya's classmate got off the subway and went into the bathroom.

Fang Hong couldn't help but say happily: "AI has to go to the toilet? ”

Xiao Aya's classmate disappeared into the camera screen, Chen Yu controlled the virtual lens through permission by the way, and Fang Hong was surprised to find that in the scene of the virtual new city, the public toilets and urinals on the side of the road all have smart screens.

As Xiao Aya walked out of the bathroom, she introduced with a smile: "In Xincheng, if you can't find the way to the hotel, you can directly search on the electronic screen on some nearby smart guide signs, which can automatically turn and guide according to the route you need, and also mark the distance intimately." ”

The guide, Xiao Aya, continued: "If you are thirsty and tired, you only need to find a bus stop to solve all the problems, not only there are seat TV vending machines, but also free air conditioning. ”

Fang Hong looked at the appearance of the virtual new city presented on the screen from a third perspective, the public seats that can be seen everywhere not only support solar wireless charging, but also connect a Bluetooth to let the seats play music, everything in the hotel is fully automatic, even the service housekeeper is an intelligent robot.

Isn't all this presented by this virtual new city a template for a smart city?

Thinking of this, Fang Hong seemed to see the hidden true thoughts in Chen Yu's heart, no wonder he specially showed the virtual new city to the big boss.
