"One very obvious fact is that we are now in the early stages of a new technological explosion."
Following Ye Ming's voice, the six Chinese characters "Fourth Industrial Revolution" appeared on the curtain.
In order to take care of a certain 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 interconnection of everything—essentially, if we cut through all
We will see that these glossy and gorgeous definitions are essentially an extension of the existing Internet."
"But in academia and science, the definition is more advanced, and in my opinion, it is more accurate." Ye Ming picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at the crowd with a smile: "Breaking the shackles of energy, creative new materials, creativity
New theories, creative ways of life and production are the hallmarks of the fourth industrial revolution - the hallmark of a new round of technological explosion."
"Of course, some people talk about the major fields of controllable nuclear fusion, new materials, quantum technology, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence."
"We can find that no matter what the definition is, we can actually hear footsteps now."
Following Ye Ming's voice, the PPT began to turn pages.
"We start with controlled nuclear fusion."
"Controllable nuclear fusion, the first commercial demonstration reactor will be completed within five years."
Everyone was slightly stunned, then burst into applause.
…
Carter had been listening carefully, and when the applause started, he was extremely surprised.
"Ye, why five years?"
"Because there has been a breakthrough in technology." Ye Ming smiled and explained in a very perfunctory manner.
Perhaps only Carter present 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 stand alone.
But at Jizhi Technology... let's put it this way, what is needed most is their uncompromising execution ability.
Yang Chaoxiong applauded and asked with a smile: "Ye Ming, have you won the project? Can you tell me?"
Ye Ming coughed: "I can't say that."
"Haha, okay. But the fact that you can still sit here means that this is not a top secret, right?"
"Well, after all, this is to benefit mankind, not to destroy mankind." Ye Ming smiled and turned to the next page: "Let's look at the materials."
"In the field of materials, you don't need any more introduction, right?"
Everyone laughed.
In a sense, Jizhi Technology is the largest "new materials company".
"According to... the new equation..."
Yang Chaoxiong corrected Ye Ming: "Ye's equation."
"Ahem... Okay, Ye's equation." Ye Ming smiled awkwardly - it is indeed difficult for him to say the equation and limit named after his surname until now.
"Based on Ye's equation, many laboratories have now designed a variety of new materials, such as the polyurethane-like material GTDBRT, which can be perfectly used to fill gaps and has excellent fire resistance, and the polyacrylonitrile-like material GTCCD, which
It has strength comparable to carbon fiber - speaking of it, our robots can use it..."
"These programmable materials are born under hybrid chips. They either open up new fields, replace old materials, or solve old problems... In short, they have a bright future."
Ye Ming continued to turn the pages.
"Let's skip genetic engineering and come to a new life."
"Actually, I agree with one sentence, that is, artificial intelligence changes the world - if there is no change, it is just because artificial intelligence is not smart enough."
This time, everyone's faces showed an indescribable emotion.
Because they are the people closest to the only "strong artificial intelligence" in the world so far.
They knew very well what Aita's birth meant.
If it weren't for Aita being unable to 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 artificial intelligence that can truly change the world.
"We own Aita, which means we have the capital to subvert all Internet and IT industries that rely on algorithms. Of course, this involves cooperation or confrontation with capital..." Ye Ming smiled: "But now I look at it
, it seems that the contradiction is a bit irreconcilable?”
Liu Hong, who is in charge of the AI department, nodded with emotion and said: "Yes, we have talked many times with some first- and second-tier Internet giants at home and abroad... As a result, after many discussions, we found that our contradictions are structural."
Ye Ming also nodded.
Although he is not responsible for the business model, in order to hold this meeting, he had a long chat with teachers Tang and Chen yesterday, and gained a thorough understanding of the current overall situation of the company.
From the day Aita was released, whether it is Microsoft, Google, Facebook, domestic giants such as TenX and ALI, Byte or other first-line giants, or Zhihu, bilibili, Weibo, etc...
In fact, they all came to our door.
First-tier giants talk more about acquisitions, shareholdings, and technical cooperation, while second-tier giants talk more about business cooperation.
But no matter what kind of cooperation... it seems difficult at the moment.
First of all, JiZhi Technology is impossible to sell; secondly, JiZhi Technology is not short of money now; finally, Aita cannot be shared and copied.
Once these three constraints are imposed, the road to cooperation will become narrower.
Even for social media that needs Aita's functionality the most, in order for Aita to appear in their products, they need to move their database to the provincial capital, hand it over to Aita, and then let Aita get deeply involved - at least now
, haven’t found a better solution yet.
You said, how can there be such cooperation?
"So, if they don't want to believe us, how can we meet the needs of the people?" Ye Ming chuckled 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. Well... I think the third generation of the Internet of Things is a pseudo-concept, and it does not deserve a generation. The real third generation of the Internet should be
The holographic era.”
On the PPT, the three characters "Yuan Universe" are displayed.
Looking at these three words, everyone present had strange expressions again.
With the booming capital speculation, the term metaverse has actually become a bit bad, and has even become "stinky".
"Actually, I don't want to use this word." Seeing everyone's expressions, Ye Ming shrugged helplessly: "But who makes it easy to understand?"
Yang Chaoxiong smiled humorously: "Okay, I understand what you meant at the beginning, so which path should we take to realize virtual reality technology?"
Ye Ming took a sip of coffee: "Light field display technology."
——This is something he has been wanting to get involved with since last year, but Old Tang said that he would wait until he had money.
Now that Jizhi Technology has money, the time is ripe.
"In fact, after the third generation of the Internet, there is also the fourth generation of the Internet - brain-computer interconnection."
"I even think that brain-computer interconnection technology will become mature in a very short period of time."
Ye Ming smiled and sighed: "But it's a pity."
"Human beings are stubborn creatures. It is far more difficult to get them to accept installing chips in their heads than to realize the technology itself."
Then, he could only settle for the next best thing and let Aita bring mankind into the holographic simulation era first.
