The first month of school always flies by quickly, and it’s late March in a blink of an eye.
The school couldn't wait to issue Ye Ming three certificates directly, and then hired him as a professor with a letter of appointment.
This is of course a good thing for Ye Ming.
First of all, he can be recommended as an academician - the prerequisite for becoming an academician is professor and equivalent professional titles. As for other achievements, nationality and so on...
Ye Ming didn't even have a passport, just an ID card and a household registration book, which was like a red seedling that was about to shine.
Secondly, he can also participate in the Future Science Award, which is known as the "Nobel Prize" in the country. Although the money is only 1 million U.S. dollars, which seems a little less than other current "net worths", but net worth and cash are two different things...
Jizhi Technology is now in the "rising period", and Ye Ming is too embarrassed to take money out of his pocket. Besides, it seems that there is no use for him to take the money. It is better to receive a prize, which can also make his mother happy and continue to go to WeChat.
A trip to Versailles.
Finally, everyone can call him Professor Ye.
Although Ye Ming was a little embarrassed, it sounded better than calling him Mr. Ye.
However, after becoming a professor, Ye Ming did not fulfill his duties as a professor.
After all, he has been very busy in the past two years.
For example, at the end of March, JiZhi Technology will hold another spring press conference.
…
Qi and Mo sat on the sofa in Ye Ming's office, with smiles in their eyes: "What is the internal price of Aita?"
Next to her, sat a robot painted in blue and white.
The material of the robot's shell cannot be seen, but it can be clearly seen that it is made of piano paint and is completely translucent.
The joint joints are made of special materials so that they can move freely, protect the joints well, and are easy to disassemble.
Both of its hands adopt a bionic structure, but compared to the slender body, the proportions of the two hands look slightly larger.
It's just a pair of working hands.
In addition, its head has an oval structure, and there is no unnecessary design of facial features such as nose and mouth that may cause the "uncanny valley effect". It also does not use a large-screen design that uses its face as a display screen.
A mobile phone-sized screen is installed in the eye area.
As for the most important binocular camera, it adopts an under-screen design.
Through ingenious design, its head can be rotated 180 degrees, so that it can easily interchange the "face" and "back of the head", and it can also conveniently use the projector installed on the back of the head.
Hmm... It has two openings designed for the two ears, one for sound and one for heat dissipation.
Overall, its design is in line with people's imagination of domestic robots.
Of course, if it has to be designed, it can actually be designed better, more perfectly, more realistic, and even closer to the human body feel...
But in order to consider some unnecessary "trouble", the robot design team abandoned these exciting ideas.
"Internal price?" Ye Ming scratched his head: "I don't know, you have to ask Sister Qu Jing."
"Sister Jing asked me about you."
"...Then let me give you one as a gift?"
"..." Qi Yumo was speechless for a while: "Boss, I still have some savings, okay?"
Ye Ming just laughed.
Although Qi Yumo hasn't graduated yet, she has already become a core member of JiZhi Technology's AI department. Let's put it this way, before He Mo came, she was the one who knew Aita best.
When Jizhi Technology had no money before, its salary was quite high. Needless to say, now, Qi and Mo's income is calculated based on annual salary.
“How much is the first mass production now?”
"There are about three thousand units. According to market research, basically there is no need to worry about selling them... Hmm... Of course, it still depends on the performance of your press conference." Qi Yumo said and winked: "Come on, Professor Ye.
"
Ye Ming coughed.
Qi Yumo laughed loudly: "It feels very smooth."
"No, please spare me."
"Then treat me to dinner?"
"No problem - let Aita do the cooking?"
"good!"
Qi and Mo turned to look at their sides: "Aita."
"I am here."
Two voices sounded at the same time.
In addition to her side, the prototype machine sitting opposite that had been charging also responded.
Ye Ming laughed.
"It's over, the artificial intelligence is retarded."
…
The last day of March.
Palo Alto, California.
Tesla Building, Robot Experiment Center.
At nine o'clock in the morning, all employees gathered in the conference room.
As the boss sat down with a serious face, the display screen on the wall of the conference room was turned on.
Immediately afterwards, the assistant clicked on YouTube's homepage, hot list, and selected the first video.
"Jizhi Technology Spring Conference"
The video was uploaded in just four hours and has been played more than one million times, and currently has more than 100,000 online viewers.
"I don't know if you have watched the live broadcast, but I still hope you can watch the replay."
Musk looked at the crowd and frowned deeply: "This is our opponent."
Following his voice, the video was clicked.
Amidst the applause, Ye Ming slowly walked to the front desk.
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting."
Ye Ming's voice sounded: "Because we are a start-up company with little experience, we do a very poor job of keeping certain products confidential. So, on the day we announced the press conference, some people already guessed that we were going to release it.
What product."
There were bursts of laughter from the audience.
Musk sighed softly.
Of course you can guess it.
He led the robot around in such a big way, and even dared to let the robot drive a car physically...
If you hadn’t guessed that the robot butler would be released today, you would have simply hit the wall and died.
Just look at Apple to see how important the confidentiality of unreleased products is to a technology company.
On the other hand, Jizhi Technology seems to have no idea what confidentiality is...
However, Musk does not believe that this is because Jizhi Technology does not know the importance of product secrets.
The scariest thing is here - they know, but they don't care.
On the screen, Ye Ming's voice continued.
"We have three announcements today."
"The first one is that we jointly launched a prosthetic eye solution with the Provincial Communications and the Brain Science Center of the Provincial University School of Medicine to help blind patients restore their vision."
Following Ye Ming's voice, an "eyeball" appeared on the screen behind him.
"This is a feat we have accomplished using digital integrated chips. It will completely solve various causes of blindness, while also allowing patients to use prosthetic eyes to obtain the most immersive holographic simulation!"
"It can be said that it directly brings the patient into the metaverse in one step..."
Musk frowned: "Jump over."
The assistant glanced at Musk and dragged the progress bar.
On the screen, a slender robot with light blue and white paint slowly appeared amidst a roar of applause.
Ranwen
Everyone in the conference room fell silent.
Even though it was the second or even third time they saw this scene, they still couldn't suppress the shock in their hearts.
These seemingly simple steps are actually the first step for strong AI intelligent robots to officially enter human society.
