"So, our country uses computers to control production?"

"Well, not strictly speaking." Zhu Xianene replied, "I want to use your words to explain how to be reasonable. First of all, it is not used all over the country. The Beidou system's 'central production management system' that you talked about before is actually an 'industrial collaboration algorithm based on general artificial intelligence'. This system is only used in Beizhili. So as you can see, Beizhili has been expanding in recent years, and it is much larger than the 'historical' Beizhili as you know. To the north of the Huai River and south of the Heilongjiang River, almost all of them are under the industrial coordination of Beizhili. ”

"Is it because the computing power is not enough?"

"It's because there's no computing power at all. That's an algorithm – because we don't actually have a 'LSI' like yours, and we've tried to build it, and we do have a semi-finished chip. ”

"And chips here?"

"Yes." Zhu Xianene nodded and said, "You can also play with it if you want, in fact, Lan Zhenren opposite you made it himself." ”

On the screen, Lan Daoxing nodded slightly.

"Handmade?"

"Hmm. Jindan-level handiwork. But the precision of that process is a big project even for Lan Zhenren himself, and he said that he didn't want to carve one after he carved it again. In terms of computing power, it's probably about the same as the eighteenth-generation or nineteenth-generation 'core'. ”

"Huh? So why not? ”

"Because it's not done, it's pointless. We had no idea how it was going to get in. That needs to be driven by a 'operating program', and the operating program is software. Although it is true that the layout can be determined according to the wiring of the hardware - but, Shangluo, you don't know what the layout of the chip is. If you don't know, we don't know. ”

"Ahh Truly. ”

"So I said we do have the ability to make a chip with the same computing power. If it is useful, it is not impossible for Lan Zhenren to work overtime to rub out hundreds of them. But we don't have the software to drive it, and we don't know exactly how this thing should be designed. After all, Shang Luo, your eyes are not microscopes, you can't see the microscopic structure. ”

"Ahh I'm sorry about that."

"Forget it, it's probably us who should be sorry, isn't it, after all, you left home to come to us, and we can't ask you too much. In fact, even if we make it, we can't use it. Like you guys have a quantum computer with pretty powerful computing power, right? But you don't know how to use quantum computers to solve general problems, only specific problems. But on the flip side, while we don't have LSIs—"

He looked at Shang Luo: "Although we don't have integrated circuits and no computing power, we have a large number of 'general artificial intelligence', that is, Tianyi nobles." By stacking in batches and speeding up those 'beans', we get Beidou. However, as you can see, Doudou is not 'massively integrated', and it takes time for them to train and weave, so Beidou is gradually expanding, just like a tree extending out of different branches. We have only moderately expanded the Beidou system, and only gradually added the production and reproduction links of the provinces when needed. ”

Again, he emphasized: "Only when needed." As for how much is needed, it is actually up to Nandou to decide. We have two independent systems, one from the perspective of consumer demand and public utilities, and the other from the perspective of production and distribution. ”

"Ah, this sounds amazing!"

"Yes. From your point of view, this is indeed very powerful, because you don't have a 'general artificial intelligence', and you can't get one of the 100 billion megabytes of computing power stacked around the world, but we actually have a lot of them. It's like you have a lot of chips here, but we can't use them here. But every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Tianyi nobles are not out of the assembly line, their output is actually not low, but each is different. Therefore, if you want to train them to solve a set of complex problems, it is as difficult as asking the students of Guozijian to obediently go to the Yellow Book Library to compile the Yellow Book. I really like your side, you can put a chip into your 'phone' when you come out. Ahh

He shook his head: "As far as we are concerned, it is estimated that each 'APP' will have to train a Tianyi noble person individually." Just like people used to have washing machines at home, they would hire someone to do their laundry for them. In the past, people didn't have access to radio and television, because they would hire a troupe to sing in the courtyard and a band to play while they were eating. If you replace all of these jobs with Tianyi nobles, you will understand, they are all 'raiders', 'Qingwen', and 'Fangguan', which is a little mellow. ”

"Still." Lan Zhenren behind the screen also added, "Our route here is actually more suitable for solving some complex problems. For example, to solve production coordination, we don't need to stack too much computing power, we just need to let the Tianyi nobles report the data separately, and then the immortals and Tianyi nobles sit together for a meeting. It's up to an immortal like me to decide. This is the way of immortals. ”

"Ah, this is the way of immortals, I see." Shang Luo said helplessly, "This is really something you can't learn." After all, there are no real immortals in my hometown. ”

Speaking of fun, he asked again: "By the way, will Beizhili expand in the near future?" ”

"Probably not anytime soon." Zhu Xianene also confirmed it with Lan Daoxing when he said it, and then gave an accurate answer, "Yes, if nothing changes, it won't be in about 10 years." After the inclusion of 'Shandong' 10 years ago, the progress of the whole system was slowed down by half."

"Huh? Is there anything wrong with Shandong? ”

"It's not Shandong's problem, it's our problem, it's the imperial court that has a big problem. You look at the map yourself. Zhu Xianene has a map behind him, "The 'Shandong' I said is not the same Shandong as you understand it." ”

He pointed to the map: "You can see that on the map, Shandong and the Liaodong region north of Shanhaiguan and south of Heilongjiang are the same color. Yes. We do not have Liaodong Province, Liaodong and Shandong are one province. ”

"Huh? Why is it designed this way? ”

"I can't say it, I didn't decide it. When the Liaodong Metropolitan Command Envoy Division was established in Liaodong, it was hung under the Shandong Chengxuan Political Envoy Department - and then it was hung like this, and it has not been changed for hundreds of years. As he spoke, he slapped his forehead:
