Technology dominance starts with learning machines

Chapter 43 New Project (asking for monthly ticket～～～)

602 Dormitory.

After a short vacation, the few people who just returned to school seemed a little lazy.

They were either lying on the bed or sitting on the chair playing with their cell phones.

Enjoying this rare free time.

Hearing the dormitory door being pushed open, the three of them looked up almost at the same time.

After seeing that it was Li Pingan, they withdrew their gazes.

There was no one else in the dormitory in the afternoon, and Li Pingan's computer was not there, so everyone thought he was busy at the innovation and entrepreneurship incubation base.

Seeing several roommates playing with their phones, looking lazy, Li Pingan, who had just returned, joked:

"Hey, you guys are back so early?"

"Why don't you read?"

"The postgraduate entrance exam is in December, and I don't think you are in any hurry at all."

Hearing what Li Pingan said, Zhao Peng, who was lying on the bed, said without raising his head:
"This is called a combination of work and rest. Don't worry, after tomorrow, after two classes, we promise to return to a normal rhythm."

"By the way, how is your company doing now? Don't forget the internship certificates from you guys."

Li Pingan shrugged and said, "It's still the same."

“Seek progress while maintaining stability.”

“I’m thinking about new projects, but I don’t have any ideas yet.”

Although he had reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Wan Xia, Li Pingan had no intention of telling his roommates that he had obtained a piece of land and was preparing to build a building.

Whether they can cooperate depends on whether the preliminary design plan proposed by Wan Xia can meet his aesthetic requirements.

"Take your time, don't rush."

“Sometimes, it’s nice to just be stable.”

Listening to Zhao Peng's sigh, Li Pingan nodded in agreement.

Li Pingan, who had nothing to do for a while, lay on the bed and played with his mobile phone, watching short videos, and enjoying this rare leisure time.

He accompanied his sister to play these days. His sister was happy, but he was very tired.

Especially accompanying my sister to the mall, that is definitely a physical job.

While scrolling, Li Pingan was attracted by a short video blogger.

【Daily life of blind college students on campus】

The video was very long, but in this fast-paced age, it was rare for Li Pingan to watch it carefully enough.

Watching the video, Li Pingan actually felt like he was brought into a first-person perspective.

It’s as if the blogger in the video is himself.

Roadblocks that are easy to overcome for ordinary people are difficult to avoid for these special people. They can only rely on the blind sticks in their hands to explore the world bit by bit.

If you are not careful, you will fall down, and bumps into things are common.

What Li Ping'an admires is the blogger's optimistic attitude towards life.

There is also the selfless help from classmates and cafeteria aunties on campus.

Li Pingan couldn't help but click on the blogger's homepage to check out other videos.

Li Pingan was watching the video while browsing the comment section.

What is rare is that there are a lot of comments in the comment section, but it is surprisingly "clean" and not filled with hostility like other comment sections.

"Pengzi."

Zhao Peng, lying on the bed, raised his head and looked at Li Pingan.

"What's wrong, Old Four?"

Zhao Peng thought Li Pingan had encountered difficulties in the company, and hesitated for a long time before speaking.

I couldn't help but ask, "Is there any difficulty in the company?"

As soon as this was said, the other two roommates in the dormitory also looked over. "Uh, no."

"I just want to ask if there is any progress in navigation for the blind."

“Develop a guide dog, combined with artificial intelligence, to achieve navigation for the blind.”

For a moment, the whole dormitory fell silent.

After a long silence, Zhao Peng slowly said, "It's a good idea. Not to mention the world, there are also many blind people in our country."

"Let's not talk about whether it can be achieved. Have you ever thought about how many blind people's families are wealthy families?"

"My advice is that you should invest your energy into software."

Is that so?
Li Pingan was silent.

Li Pingan is not worried about the software of the mechanical guide dog.

With the artificial intelligence technology he currently has, there is absolutely no problem at the software level.

The biggest R&D cost is hardware.

Guide dogs do not need to deal with complex environments. After all, they are not born for war.

It does not need to be as flexible as an iron egg, nor does it need to have a high load capacity.

Guide dogs are more of a reminder for the blind.

While leading the blind, eliminate safety obstacles and potential safety hazards.

The next evening, when Li Ping'an rushed to the incubation base after class, the interns were just getting off work.

After saying hello, Li Ping'an went into his own workshop.

Turning on the computer, Li Pingan began to plan the appearance design of the guide dog.

A month later, June.

The day of the national college entrance examination.

In the incubation base, Li Pingan finally completed the design work of the guide dog.

Li Ping'an did not choose the four-legged walking option like Tiedan, but chose the most primitive tires.

Six tires provide guide dogs with enough stability, and a small retractable mechanical arm is enough for guide dogs to go to most places that blind people can go.

According to the design plan, Li Pingan began to purchase various parts online.

Why is shopping so convenient now? Even if you want something custom made, you can still buy it at night as long as you have enough money.

As for quality...that is not what Li Pingan needs to consider now during the design research phase.

Saturday evening.

Li Pingan and his roommates sat around a busy roadside barbecue stall. The charcoal fire was burning brightly, the meat skewers were sizzling, and the aroma was fragrant.

As a few bottles of wine were opened, everyone started talking instantly. At first, the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, and everyone was discussing which girl on campus was pretty and had an outstanding temperament.

After three rounds of drinks, the conversation became more and more lively, and the topic rose to a higher level without anyone noticing.

A few passionate young people chatted about everything from campus trivia to social conditions, and then began to discuss national affairs seriously.

From cutting-edge breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation to heartwarming measures to improve people's livelihood;
From the changing international situation to the inheritance and development of local culture, everyone was excited and passionate, as if those sitting here were not ordinary college students but a think tank that was advising on how to deal with the country.

At this moment of heated discussion, the tone suddenly changed.

Zhao Peng seemed to suddenly remember something important. He put down the skewers he was chewing with relish, cleared his throat, looked straight at Li Pingan, and asked:
"Are you still tinkering with that guide dog?"

Li Ping'an was not in a hurry. He tilted his head back, took a sip of cold beer, rinsed his mouth, and said "hmm".

He said slowly, "Of course, the preliminary design has been completed. Now we are just waiting for the parts to arrive. Once they are assembled, we will test the effect immediately."

"real or fake?"

Zhao Peng's face was full of suspicion, his eyes widened, and he seemed a little bit unbelieving.

Li Pingan shrugged, spread his hands, and told the truth:
"It's just in the experimental stage. We haven't really tried it yet. Whether it can be used or not is still unknown."
