Chapter 263: True Artificial Intelligence
"The docking permission has been tested, and now you can start the intelligent assisted development of Yinglong EDA at any time."
May 22, 2020, Shenzhen City, Huawei Technology Headquarters.
In the office area on the floor where the Yinglong EDA industrial software project is located, Zhang Tao listened to the reports of the employees below, and his originally nervous mood gradually calmed down, and he took a deep breath and made an order.
"Let's get started."
As the voice fell, the engineer sitting in front of the computer screen immediately started to operate.
Zhang Tao stared intently, eager to know the final result.
Although he now knows that DeepTech's AI model has been iteratively upgraded to version 3.0, it is still unclear to what extent.
If you can greatly improve the efficiency of software development, it will undoubtedly be a great joy for everyone.
Otherwise, the scheme is declared a failure.
At this moment, a voice from behind him caught his attention, and he subconsciously turned to look.
"Artificial intelligence will never replace humans, and what you are doing now is just useless."
In the field of vision, I saw a middle-aged man in a suit walk in, and I couldn't see the emotions in my heart from my face.
Zhang Tao obviously knew the man in front of him, and when he heard this, he frowned at first, and then replied: "The use of artificial intelligence to speed up the development of the Yinglong project was personally approved by Ren Dong, and I don't think what we are doing now is useless." "I don't agree with each other at all.
The man was not angry when Zhang Tao refuted it, but just emphasized his point again.
"No matter how strong artificial intelligence is, it can't compare to the efficiency of humans, not to mention that the existing artificial intelligence can't reach that level at all."
"Mr. Zhou, that's not necessarily."
Zhang Tao shook his head indifferently and expressed his opinion: "The artificial intelligence model developed by Deepin Technology is already very strong. ”
For Zhou Qin, the president of the company in front of him, Zhang Tao really didn't know what to say.
Every time I bring it up, it's a headache.
Although they are in the same company, the two of them have completely different concepts.
Zhou Qin always insisted that the development of science and technology will mainly rely on human beings in the future, and the role of artificial intelligence is very limited.
Representation in science fiction movies can only exist in movies.
There is no such thing as a brain brain.
Originally, the company decided to speed up the development of Yinglong's EDA project in response to the current situation, and his proposal at the meeting was to increase the input of technical personnel.
As long as more good and relevant talents are recruited, then the development speed will definitely be accelerated.
However, the problem is that in addition to increasing the cost of the project, the most critical thing is the shortage of talent.
It is difficult to recruit the best people in the field.
There are only a limited number of people engaged in EDA software development in China, which is completely incomparable with overseas SynSkaiden.
If this plan is adopted, I am afraid that I will not be able to recruit a few people in a few months.
After all, they want to speed up development, which requires new recruits to get started right away.
Experience alone can wipe out a lot of people.
If it is to cultivate relevant talents, then there is naturally no problem in recruiting new people.
Unfortunately, this is not the case at the moment.
In this case, Zhang Tao put forward his own proposal at the meeting, wanting to use the artificial intelligence model developed by DeepTech to assist.
Many of the people who can attend this kind of conference are from technical backgrounds, so they naturally understand the gold content of the deep technology artificial intelligence model that has caused a global sensation before, and it may really be helpful.
With the powerful learning speed of DeepTech artificial intelligence, it only needs to familiarize itself with Yinglong EDA under development, and the software can be automatically improved.
After talking about his proposal, in the end, under the vote of Ren Dong and other senior executives, the plan was successfully passed and immediately implemented.
For this reason, Zhang Tao led people to Jincheng urgently.
Fortunately, the process went smoothly, and he successfully persuaded Xu Yun to cooperate with Deepin Technology.
Speaking of this, Zhang Tao didn't have the desire to continue talking to Zhou Qin, so he couldn't help but fall into silence and just stared ahead.
Anyway, it won't be long before the results appear, and then his proposal will naturally prove correct.
Even if Zhou Qin doesn't support it at that time, he has nothing to say in the face of reality.
However, Zhou Qin obviously had no intention of stopping, and then continued to speak.
"DeepTech's artificial intelligence technology is indeed the world's leading, but to say that the development of large-scale industrial software such as EDA is probably more difficult than humans."
But this time it was not Zhang Tao who immediately answered, but Zhong Lingling, a researcher sent by the Deepin Technology Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
"It seems that Mr. Zhou doesn't know much about our artificial intelligence, I believe I will give you a surprise later."
Zhong Lingling endured the anger in her heart, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and answered in front of Zhang Tao.
After all, the personnel on the Huawei side do not know about artificial intelligence, and since the two sides have established cooperation, the deep technology laboratory will definitely send personnel to follow the docking.
In this way, if there is an emergency, it is easy to solve it in time.
Zhong Lingling was sent.
She followed Zhang Tao from Jingzhou to Shenzhen.
At first, she didn't really want to carry out this task, after all, the laboratory is currently developing an intelligent driving project, and participating in the key project of the laboratory must be much better than such a small thing.
The key is also a kind of improvement for itself.
The main thing is that she knows in her heart the ability of the stupid to iterate to version 3.0.
If you just assist in software development, you don't need her to help you at all.
It is nothing more than a formality to express the sincerity of in-depth scientific and technological cooperation.
According to her plan, she is to help Zhang Tao and them get on the right track as soon as possible, so that there is no need for her to continue to stay in Shenzhen.
If you return to Jingzhou in time, you can continue to participate in the research of the intelligent driving project.
As a result, I heard the conversation between Zhang Tao and Zhou Qin in the morning.
Zhou Qin doesn't believe in stupid abilities, which is equivalent to questioning the artificial intelligence laboratory.
What's more, stupidity was developed by Xu Yun, which makes it even more impossible to see others belittle.
After all, Xu Yun is the greatest person who can continue to create miracles in the eyes of everyone in Deepin Technology.
Zhou Qin is naturally not stupid to be able to achieve the position of president, although he is very skeptical of Zhang Tao's plan, he will not openly argue with people from Deepin Technology.
In addition to the influence and strength of Deepin Technology today, it is also because the two companies have reached a cooperation.
After listening to Zhong Lingling's words, she just replied calmly.
"I'll see."
Zhang Tao's lips moved in this regard, and finally chose to swallow back the words that came to his mouth, and did not pick up Zhou Qin's words again.
Soon the three of them fell silent, and the only sound left in the space was the sound of keystrokes.
To determine the specific assistance of an AI model for software development, comprehensive data is definitely needed.
If you want to get results right away, you can't do it.
It was in this situation that Zhong Lingling, Zhang Tao and Zhou Qin did not leave at noon.
We even had lunch together.
It wasn't until near five o'clock in the afternoon that the preliminary data was finally counted.
……
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhou, our test results are out."
The manager of the technical department walked quickly to the office with a document, and immediately said the good news after greeting the two leaders.
Although the specific test results were not stated, judging from the joy and excitement on the face, it is estimated that the test results are ideal.
Zhang Tao is even more aware of the character of the manager under him, and it can be said that he never hides his emotions.
How you feel every day is basically written on your face.
Seeing this, he basically had a judgment in his heart, but in order to prove it to Zhou Qin, he began to speak hurriedly: "How can the test results be said directly. ”
I didn't choose to pick up the document and look at it myself.
In the face of Zhang Tao's inquiry, the manager naturally did not dare to hesitate and immediately said the contents of the document.
"According to our actual test today, if we use AI models to assist development, we can increase the development speed by 50% compared to the previous one."
"And that's a relatively conservative statistic."
"According to today's efficiency, we will be able to completely complete the development of Yinglong EDA by the end of the year at most."
Listening to all the words of his subordinates word for word, Zhang Tao no longer controlled the joy in his heart.
Excitedly stood up from the couch.
"Great."
"Okay."
"Okay."
After saying three good things in a row, when the mood calmed down a little, he turned around and thanked Zhong Lingling next to him.
"Thank you for your help this time."
"You're welcome, we will definitely try our best to complete the things that Mr. Xu explained."
"What's more, this is something that is conducive to the development of domestic semiconductors." The corners of Zhong Lingling's mouth rose slightly, and a smile appeared and she replied.
It is also a good thing to be able to let outsiders clearly understand the power of deep technology artificial intelligence.
At this time, Zhang Tao's hanging heart was completely let go.
There is no doubt that this data has far exceeded his estimates, proving that his plan is possible, which can be regarded as a very perfect answer to the company.
Compared with Zhang Tao and Zhong Lingling's relaxed happiness, Zhou Qin next to him was full of surprise.
"Fifty percent ascension?"
"It's absolutely impossible."
Words come out of his mouth, as if trying to find evidence to overturn this outcome.
What is the concept of 50% improvement rate, assuming that there are 100 technicians involved in the project now, and wanting to achieve this figure is equivalent to continuing to recruit 50 people to join.
And these people must also be able to get into the state immediately.
Although it is difficult to recruit relevant outstanding talents in a short period of time, with the assistance of deepin technology artificial intelligence, there is indeed hope that Yinglong EDA development will be fully put into the market in a short period of time.
But he really doesn't believe that this can be done with the current level of development of artificial intelligence alone.
The next second, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly an arrow came to the technical manager and snatched the document directly from the other party's hand.
It's just that as he flips through it, his face becomes more and more ugly.
Later, he raised his gaze and asked, "Are you sure that there are no problems in the process of testing?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the joy on the face of the technical manager gradually disappeared, and the whole person looked very impatient.
"Mr. Zhou."
"What do you mean by that?"
In any case, he is a person under Zhang Tao, and it is a happy time to complete the task now, but being questioned by Zhou Qin makes it seem that their technical level is very limited.
But you must know that they have been developing Yinglong EDA for so long, how can they make a mistake about the development speed.
After hearing the other party's words, Zhou Qin also realized that he was wrong, because the data on the file did reach fifty percent.
Although this data is hard to believe, it is undoubtedly true.
In other words, the research of deep technology in artificial intelligence has reached a very high level.
If you let the outside world know the true ability of stupidity, it may cause a lot of panic.
Just as his mind was running fast and thinking about this, Zhong Lingling next to him was no longer silent, and made some additions to the clumsy actual ability of the artificial intelligence model.
"The 50% improvement rate is only for today, and the software development speed will continue to increase as Benben accepts enough data."
"I don't know what Mr. Zhou thinks of our artificial intelligence now?" The last sentence was for Zhou Qin.
By this time, Zhou Qin had long since lost his previous insistence, and his original concept had already changed with the data on the document.
After listening to Zhong Lingling's words, she was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses.
It was a heartfelt answer with emotion.
"It's really strong."
"It turns out that this is the strength of real artificial intelligence."
"I was wrong."
Zhou Qin did not continue to follow the path to the end, but chose to follow his heart and make changes.
In the past, he was not optimistic about artificial intelligence, because he had never seen the power of real artificial intelligence.
Today he knew.
This kind of super efficiency and speed is indeed incomparable to human beings.
If used properly, it is bound to accelerate the development of human civilization.
"I'm going to report the good news to Director Ren." After listening to the conversation between the two, Zhang Tao also reacted, and after taking the document again, he planned to go to the chairman's office to inform him of the situation.
——
In the following time, Yinglong EDA, with the assistance of Ben, successfully got on the right track, and the development speed continued to improve.
After arranging things in Shenzhen, Zhong Lingling also returned to Jingzhou to continue to participate in the research and development of intelligent driving projects.
Just as the domestic EDA software is becoming more and more mature, the lithography machine, as the most critical link in the high-end chip manufacturing industry chain, has finally begun to usher in progress.
"The light source problem is the most important part of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, so let's start from here."
In the office, Xu Yun stared at the 430 points on the light curtain in front of him, and secretly thought about the direction of use in his heart.
The higher the level of knowledge he mastered, the less points he spent when turning on brain overclocking to solve problems, and he thought that he was not weak when he grew to this extent.
What's more, compared with the field of biological gene medicine, he is better at optoelectronics.
With only these more than 400 points, we must be able to complete the research and development of domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machines.
Prioritizing the research of a light source with sufficient power was a resolution passed at the project meeting before, and Xu Yun did not want to change it temporarily.
The thought stayed here, and the next second he stopped hesitating, and the overclocking of the brain with the micro-movement of consciousness was officially opened.
In an instant, a familiar feeling swept through the body again.
The world around us seems to be still, and the whole person can't hear any sound, as if in a vacuum.
The brain becomes extremely active, and it seems that just thinking about the extreme ultraviolet light source leads to various solutions.
Xu Yun has entered the state of brain overclocking many times, and he is already very familiar with the method of using it.
Knowing how to solve the desired problem with the least amount of credit, he immediately focused his attention and picked the one that best suited the situation at hand based on the extended solution.
After all, it also needs to consider the level of the material and whether the light source can be manufactured.
If you choose a solution with a level of science and technology that is much higher than that of human civilization, then it will not be possible to create it at all.
Even if you can use your brain to overclock and continue to study deeply, the number of points required will definitely be a huge number, and you must know that the difference between different civilization levels is definitely astronomical.
"Tin vapor light source."
"Xenon light source."
"Xenon fluoride light source."
……
As a number of light source research directions were thought out of the way, Xu Yun quickly chose one of them and continued to study its specific manufacturing process and technology.
Right now, his brain is like a sophisticated quantum computer, automatically simulating the process of making a light source.
Make sure you have all the key points of the technology.
I have to say that the feeling of being able to discover the truth with just one thought is really appealing, and it is impossible to extricate oneself, and if it weren't for the lack of enough points and the time to support overclocking, he would even want to stay in this state forever.
Because he had already explained to the people in the project team before entering the brain overclocking state, no one bothered him during the process.
Xu Yun decided to quit brain overclocking after basically mastering the entire manufacturing process of the selected light source scheme.
When a small sound sounded in his ears again, time began to beat again on the desktop screen, and he took a big breath of fresh air to get used to the transition between the two states as quickly as possible.
After about half a minute, he was back to normal, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.
"The problem of the light source has finally been solved, and they will probably be surprised when Academician Luo sees my plan."
He muttered to himself, and then he returned his attention to the light curtain that was summoned in front of him.
Check how many points you've spent.
As the number in the light curtain integral column came into view, he was immediately relieved.
"There are 280 points left, which means that it took 150 points to turn on brain overclocking this time."
"It's within the expected range."
It turned out that his guess was not wrong, and the number of points required to turn on brain overclocking after his own strength continued to improve has been greatly reduced compared to the beginning.
Even solving the problem of the light source of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine only costs 150 points.
At this rate, the remaining points are enough to solve the other two puzzles.
He then checked the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen and found that it had been two hours since he turned on his brain overclocking.
That means he has six hours left to overclock his brain.
After a rough estimate, he finally put his mind at ease.
"The integration and overclocking time are basically within the expected range, which should be enough to develop a domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machine."
As the person in charge of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project this time, he was not able to generate the task.
Naturally, you will not be able to earn points and mission rewards.
If the points are not enough to turn on the brain for a long time to overclock, then the delivery time of the domestic lithography machine will definitely be greatly extended.
Fortunately, the situation is still under his control.
Knowing this clearly, he immediately recalled the light source manufacturing technology in his mind and began to write a plan......
