Technology dominance starts with learning machines

Chapter 5 "The Bird Out of the Cage"

Sitting in front of the laptop, looking at the compiled artificial intelligence data collection and preprocessing module, Li Pingan began to have a headache.

As for downloading resources, you can just rent a cloud server, and it doesn’t cost much.

After all, he just wanted his classmates to help with testing and collecting data.

With such a small download volume, you don’t even need a server, just send a file in the group.

But the question is, where should the collected data be stored?

He was really worried about putting it in the cloud database.

"Or, should I buy a NAS network storage?" Li Ping'an frowned and fell into deep thought.

Li Pingan opened the shopping software and browsed the prices of various NAS network storage devices.

He made a careful comparison and finally chose to buy a NAS network storage with high reliability and the ability to expand capacity at any time.

After all, this is crucial for his subsequent processing of artificial intelligence data.

If you buy fake products and lose your data, it will be too late to cry.

However, the gloomy weather now indicated that heavy snow was coming, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, wondering when the express delivery would be delivered.

At this moment, Li Pingan suddenly realized a thorny problem - there was no broadband network at home.

If he needs to transmit a large amount of data and rely entirely on mobile data, the phone bill will definitely soar like a rocket, which is something he cannot afford.

The data traffic outside the package is super expensive.

It is actually not difficult to solve this problem. Just ask the operator to provide you with a broadband connection.

However, as the year is coming to an end and it is about to snow, it may take some time to queue up to install broadband, and it is even unknown whether it can be installed before the New Year.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ping'an rode his electric scooter and drove towards the mobile business hall on the village street.

This is how it is in the countryside. Everyone in the surrounding villages is more or less related to each other.

Li Ping'an knew the people in the business hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he greeted me warmly, "Sister".

Hearing the voice, the salesperson raised his head and looked at Li Pingan.

After seeing who it was, she was surprised and said, "Hey, why are you back? Is the school closed for the holidays?"

Li Pingan smiled and replied, "It's vacation. Sister, I want to get broadband. Can you arrange for the construction in the next two days?"

"Sure. We can install it for you today." the salesperson replied.

Hearing this answer, Li Pingan was a little surprised: "Today is fine? I remember that every time the New Year was approaching, you were always very busy."

The slightly tired cousin shook her head helplessly and said, "That was in the past. Business in the business hall is not doing well now.

You see, everyone can top up their phone bills online, and broadband is available in almost every household, so fewer people come to the business hall to do business. "

"Now that mobile phone prices are transparent, you can't make much money from selling mobile phones."

She paused, then continued, "I'm planning to switch to something else next year, like selling local specialties or something like that."

Li Ping'an was not stupid enough to say that when the Internet was not well developed, the business hall was a dead end and made a lot of money from the villagers.

Instead, he nodded his head in approval and responded, "Local specialties are good. Green products have been very popular in the past two years."

After completing the free upgrade to the gigabit broadband service, Li Pingan followed the installation master back home.

The mobile broadband fiber splitter box is on a telephone pole in front of Erye’s house. It is not far from Li Ping’an’s house. The straight-line distance is actually less than 100 meters.

This installation master is indeed experienced and he does his job very skillfully.

From wiring to configuring the optical modem, it only took about half an hour in total and the broadband was successfully installed.

Li Pingan used his mobile phone to connect to the wireless network of the optical modem to test the network speed and found no problems. At this time, the master said to him while packing up his tools: "If you have any problems in the future, you can contact me directly."

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, master. It's so cold today." Li Pingan said gratefully.

In the afternoon, the sky seemed to be pressing down with a heavy lead sheet. The whole world became dark and depressing, and visibility was extremely low, not exceeding two hundred meters.

Everything around seemed to be covered with a thick veil, blurry and unclear.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Ping'an looked at the weather forecast and found that the heavy snow that was originally predicted did not come as expected.

He then rode on the fully revived electric scooter and headed to school to pick up his sister who was on weekend break.

Ten minutes later, Li Ping'an arrived at the school gate.

At this time, many parents had gathered at the school gate. They were either standing or sitting, looking into the school with full of anticipation.

There was still some time before the 3:30 p.m. school was over. Li Ping'an thought for a moment and turned to walk towards the nearby butcher shop.

I carefully selected a piece of fresh pork at the butcher shop. Its tender color and texture showed that it was of high quality.

And it’s black pork.

He didn't forget the braised pork that his sister had been craving for.

If he really forgot about this matter, this little girl would definitely keep nagging about it in his ears for ten days or half a month, and he would have no peace.

Ding-a-ling~~~
As the bell for the end of the last class suddenly rang, the students seemed to have received an order of liberation. They jumped up from their seats in an instant, threw their schoolbags in their hands, and ran out of the classroom in a hurry.

As soon as the door opened, the students rushed to the corridor like wild horses.

Laughter and footsteps intertwined, filling every corner of the campus.

Li Ya was carrying a heavy schoolbag on her back and many bags in her hands, but she seemed to have no weight on her body. She walked briskly out of the school with her classmates.

The excitement was like that of a bird out of a cage.

There were already crowds of people at the school gate.

A large number of students poured out like a tide, and the scene was extremely lively.

All the parents stared at the school intently, searching for their children in the crowd with their focused expressions, as if they were looking for the most precious treasure in the world.

Li Pingan was also among the parents. At this moment, his 1.8-meter-tall stature showed his unique advantages.

He stands out among the crowd like a crane among chickens.

Those students running out of the school were clearly visible to him.

His height, which was a head taller than others, made it easier for his sister to spot him.

The next moment, Li Pingan's eyes were instantly locked!

He saw his sister carrying a lot of bags, and her familiar figure was so eye-catching in the crowd.

"Leiya, I'm here."

Seeing his sister coming out, Li Pingan immediately shouted at the top of his voice, and his voice was clearly transmitted through the noisy crowd.

"Brother!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Li Ya's eyes suddenly lit up.

Her petite figure of 1.6 meters tall was trying to weave through the crowd and squeeze towards Li Ping'an.

Li Pingan hurried forward to take the large and small bags from his sister's hand and said, "Let's go first. It's going to snow soon. I, your brother, came here on a donkey."

"Okay~" Li Ya responded happily, with a happy smile on her face.
