After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 172 The next step
Time always passes by inadvertently. When Hao Cheng returned home and saw Ning Hui bought a box of wine, he immediately realized that another year had come to an end.

Hao Cheng doesn't drink, the wine was bought by Ning Hui for his father.

Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this, Hao Cheng still has to say: He is a drunkard.

He drinks three times a day. The most outrageous thing was that during the Chinese New Year last year, he had some health problems. He was still on an IV drip the day before, but as soon as he stopped taking the medicine the next day, he started drinking again.

When you go back home for the New Year, even if you don’t bring anything else, a box of wine is a must, otherwise you will definitely be unhappy.

Ning Hui couldn't control his father, so Hao Cheng would not stop him. He just said, "In the future, you need to have a physical examination at most every six months. We can't control anything else."

"What can we do?" Ning Hui was also very helpless: "And how is mom now? I've been very busy recently, and it seems like I haven't contacted her for a week."

"There's no problem now." Hao Cheng shook his head: "But there's nothing we can do."

Hao Cheng's mother was diagnosed with an autoimmune system disease when Hao Cheng was about ten years old.

It wasn't a big problem at the beginning, but the problem was that the treatment at that time was to take hormones, prednisone tablets. This stuff is very cheap, one dollar for a hundred tablets.

But it’s not a question of money at all. Long-term use is extremely harmful to the body.

First, the femoral head became necrotic, and I had a replacement operation. Later, problems arose with the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, etc.

In 2018, he was hospitalized for two months due to a lung infection. Two years ago, he stayed in the ICU for a full month and a half due to interstitial pneumonia, and his life was hanging by a thread.

I spent all the family savings at the time and owed a lot of foreign debts. Fortunately, I managed to survive this active period of the disease.

In the past two months, Hao Cheng also went back twice, and would make video calls every two days at most.

Normally, I look no different from a normal person. However, when I was discharged from the hospital last time, the doctor said, "When the disease enters its next active phase, I may not be able to make it to the hospital."

"Hubby, don't think too much. Technology is becoming more and more advanced. Maybe there will be new methods by then." Ning Hui knew what Hao Cheng was thinking, so she hugged him gently and comforted him.

In the early years, the means of controlling the disease were very limited, with only hormone drugs. But now, with various means such as immunoglobulins and inhibitors, the harm has been greatly improved compared to the past.

If you pay more attention to it in normal times, it won't be a big problem. Hao Cheng's mother's disease activity period is about four years, and the next time it will be around 2026.

Time may change a lot of things, but isn’t more than a year a little too short?

"Unless..." Hao Cheng patted Ning Hui and then smiled.

"Unless what?"

“Unless Baiju Technology gets involved, AI will play a bigger role!”

Originally, Hao Cheng had not considered this aspect. After all, his profession and medical care were not even remotely related.

All he could do was to try every possible means, whether it was money or connections, to gather all the high-quality medical resources.

But the current state of world science and technology is what it is, and it is not omnipotent - otherwise, there wouldn't be so many upper-class people and top wealthy people dying of illness.

There are some diseases that cannot be cured now, and it has nothing to do with money, identity, status, etc. "You already have an idea?" Ning Hui said in surprise.

"Ok!"

Xiaosha's ability has been greatly improved, the new chip design is more suitable for the training and deployment of micro-consciousness AI, and with Moshu, a collaborative scientific research tool with top talents from multiple industries, Hao Cheng already has a general direction in mind.

Then, there is only one enemy left, and that is time!
"More than a year is enough!" Hao Cheng nodded heavily.

……

The next day, Hao Cheng came to the office early and called all relevant personnel to a meeting - there was one last big event left before the end of the year - the press conference on the 22nd.

"How are your preparations going? Please introduce them to each other!" Hao Cheng said directly.

Although Xiaosha is well aware of the work progress and related situations, humans are social animals. At this time, they still need to get together to encourage and cheer each other up.

"For the operating system, the number of users of the Beta version has exceeded 80 million. We are working on resolving application software issues reported by users as they are discovered, and this is being done in an orderly manner."

The first to speak was Lin Wen. The system had already been released, so there was almost nothing to prepare for the press conference.

"Yeah!" Hao Cheng nodded and looked at Gao Chenyu: "How is the stocking situation?"

"The goal of 200 million units has been achieved." Gao Chenyu was even more concise and introduced the large model robot for children's cognitive assistance.

……

"Two things!" After listening to the report, Hao Cheng finally said: "The first is that although you are well prepared, there is a little accident now!"

"Accident?" A group of people looked at me and I looked at you, with confusion in our hearts. There was no accident!

The Ultrasurf system has shown its invincibility before it was officially released. Windows can't even resist it, let alone fight back.

All major software programs were quickly developed and launched online, heading straight for America's stronghold. After experiencing the satellite incident, they even stopped making noise. It seemed that they had given up resistance in the Chinese market, and this industry could almost be said to be in their pockets.

Even in foreign countries, although there are no versions in English and other languages, early adopters have begun to try to use it, and even use translation tools to use the borderless system.

As for Xiaosha, the problem of computing power gap has been temporarily solved, and new users are being developed in full swing.

As for the international market, Huawei, which is heading out in Europe, has already prepared the press conference, which will be held on the day of the Chinese New Year in Paris, France.

So, where was the surprise? What was the surprise?
"Oh, it's not a bad thing!" Hao Cheng saw these people's nervous faces and immediately realized that his statement was not appropriate:
"Xiaosha's ability has made a great breakthrough. Therefore, the technology used by both the Unbounded System and the children's robot is outdated. I plan to take advantage of these two days to upgrade them all to the latest capabilities.

"So, you still need to be busy these two days!"

"Ah!" Everyone was speechless.

Xiaosha's ability has been greatly improved again? He was already ridiculously strong, and now he has improved it again, and it is even greater. When the boss says "greater", it must be ridiculously great.

No one had any idea what level Xiaosha had improved to.
