Chapter 168: Future Baiju Technology's Strongest Weapon to Climb the Mountain of Technology

After the release of the borderless system, the construction of the application ecosystem has been ongoing.

Most of them are transplants of previous software, or have only minor improvements.

The biggest change is naturally the integration of Xiaosha, a super powerful AI.

What Hao Cheng is showing now is the design of an application software.

The inspiration for this plan came from Zheng Siyao’s paper, “Research on Multidisciplinary Theoretical Integration Based on Xiaosha”.

"It is impossible for one person to master all the knowledge. The higher you go, the more detailed the knowledge becomes." Zheng Siyao has experienced the actual combat of a team and has a deeper understanding of this:

"Take natural sciences for example, the most basic knowledge, we only need to divide it into a few or at most a dozen subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, biology, etc.

"But if you study it in depth, you can find that mathematics alone can be divided into dozens of self-study courses and hundreds of different directions. If a person can advance one direction a little bit in his whole life, it would be a great achievement.

"However, real application, or real in-depth research in a field, often requires the integration of multiple disciplines." Zheng Siyao stopped here, because the application software planned by Hao Cheng is to solve this problem.

"I plan to further enhance Xiaosha's ability to understand various relevant knowledge."

"Can it be further enhanced?" Zheng Siyao showed surprise. She had previously used Xiaosha to conduct research on team collaboration, the essence of which was to let Xiaosha build a bridge of communication between people.

But this bridge plays more of a role of sorting out or remembering - this is an area where it is definitely stronger than humans.

However, when it comes to understanding cutting-edge technology, Xiaosha is still a little bit lacking at this time.

In Zheng Siyao's vision, if Xiaosha wants to play a greater role in the multidisciplinary integrated research of cutting-edge science and technology, then Xiaosha himself must have a very high level of understanding of these disciplines.

For example, if A is a software engineering expert and B is an aircraft design expert, then designing a professional software capable of aircraft design requires precise collaboration between the two.

If Person A has no idea what aircraft design is and Person B has no idea about software development, the cost of direct communication between the two people will be very high.

So at this time, there is a C between A and B, and this C has half the software development level of A and half the aircraft design level of B.

This Bing is Xiaosha.

Although Xiaosha is not as good as A and B in professional fields, Xiaosha knows a little about both sides and can assist A and B in communication.

At this time, Xiaosha's role is to convert the relevant specific needs of aircraft design into detailed requirements design for software development.

The more Xiaosha understands, the lower the communication cost between the two.

Xiaosha now has a wealth of basic knowledge and can assist in communication to a certain extent, but when it comes to understanding and mastering cutting-edge technology, he is still some way off.

"Your expectations are too high!" Hao Cheng shook his head and said, "Xiao Sha's strength is relative to ordinary people." Take legal professional ability for example, Xiao Sha is better than 99% of ordinary people and better than 85% of professional lawyers. But there must be 15% of more senior professional lawyers who are better than Xiao Sha.

"What is Xiaosha's advantage? Integration! For example, in the first trial, no matter how good a lawyer is, if he does not have professional skills and relevant knowledge in software development, he will not be able to beat Xiaosha in that special case.

"And you, aren't you also using Xiaosha's fusion ability? However, cutting-edge technology, especially cutting-edge technology that has not yet been determined and is still being explored, is indeed too difficult for Xiaosha.

"Xiaosha's ability can indeed be further improved, but as for AI, you know, it's hard to say to what extent it can be improved at this time."

When Xiaosha was given the directional learning card for general mathematics, she was reminded that if the problem of machine judgment of more and less could be solved, Xiaosha's human-like thinking ability would be further enhanced.

Now, we have ideas and solutions for this problem, and all we have to do is put it into practice and solve it.

There will be no problem for Xiaosha to take his abilities to the next level.

The plan for the application software that Hao Cheng just proposed is to systematically solve the problem of cross-field communication and collaboration among top scientists after Xiaosha's abilities are further improved.

Then, the top results of various integrations will most likely usher in a blowout explosion.

"So, Ms. Zheng," Hao Cheng said, "my plan is that at this stage, in addition to continuing to study the relevant knowledge of general mathematics and fuzzy mathematics, this application software also requires you to participate more in it."

"No problem!" Zheng Siyao was also very excited, thinking: Baiju Technology has made a good trip this time. All of the things they do here can influence the world's scientific and technological landscape. It is much more exciting than the mathematical research at Shannan University!

“However, my research here is mainly in mathematics, and this software obviously requires comprehensive evaluation and verification by all disciplines that use it,” Zheng Siyao reminded.

"Of course!" Hao Cheng nodded - this kind of software is different from the operating system and other software, and it is impossible to develop it so quickly.

It is very simple to build the framework, but this kind of software must go through a series of practical verifications.

There is also an even more difficult problem, which is where to find top experts from various industries to cooperate in the development of this software?
“Even if we find all these experts, how can we integrate the knowledge from all walks of life into this software? The development of this software itself is a very huge multidisciplinary integration project, right?”

Wei Shujie raised the following question: "Only when all disciplines are integrated can the software be fully developed, but without relevant software, it is not so easy to integrate them.

"Now there's a contradiction - which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

"Of course the chicken came first!" Hao Cheng shook his head: "It is impossible to develop directly usable, top-notch software all at once, just like when we train an AI, it is impossible for it to be extremely powerful right away.

“It requires constant training and iteration. In the early stage, we don’t need experts from all walks of life. Xiaosha’s own knowledge of various industries is enough. In the later stage, we will use the idea of training AI to train and iterate this software!”

It's more than just the idea of training AI. Hao Cheng wants to incorporate the idea of micro-consciousness into the development of this software.

In his vision, this software will be the most powerful weapon for Baiju Technology to climb the mountain of technology in the future!
