Technology dominance starts with learning machines

Chapter 7 Postgraduate entrance examination?

Li Ping'an felt a little embarrassed by his sister's praise. He also picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth and started chewing.

To his taste buds, this was just the normal taste of braised pork, not as exaggerated as his sister described.

He shook his head slightly and said, "I think it's just normal."

"No, no, no, it's really delicious, much better than the braised pork in our school cafeteria."

Li Ya quickly waved her hand to deny it. As she spoke, she frowned, thinking of the inedible food in the school cafeteria.

"You have no idea how bad the food in our school cafeteria is now."

Li Pingan pretended not to hear his sister's complaints. He just ate his meal in silence.

After all, he also graduated from his alma mater, and he knew very well what the food in the school cafeteria tasted like.

I remember that every time the bell rang, the students rushed to the cafeteria just like soldiers charging on the battlefield, with everyone vying for the first place.

Although the food in the cafeteria tastes really average, even bland, with little oil, and occasionally disgusting insects appear.

But the strange thing is, I have never heard of anyone getting an upset stomach from eating it.

After dinner, the girl took the initiative to do the dishes.

While washing the dishes, she tilted her head from time to time and looked at Li Ping'an eagerly, her eyes full of expectation and cunning.

"Brother, can I do my homework tomorrow?" she asked cautiously.

Li Pingan, who was checking the messages sent by his classmates in the class group, heard this, looked back at his eager sister, and said:

"What are you doing if you're not doing your homework? Let me make it clear first, you can't play games."

"Watch TV!" Li Ya answered without hesitation.

Hearing this, Li Ping'an's eyes turned to the LCD TV in the living room which had not been turned on for several years.

Since broadband was not installed before and the old-fashioned satellite dish signals had long been eliminated, this TV had basically become a useless decoration in the home.

Li Pingan did not respond to his sister immediately. Instead, he stood up, walked to the TV and plugged in the power cord.

What he didn't expect was that this TV, which was five or six years old, could still be turned on normally.

But the resolution displayed on the screen is really disappointing.

At this time, Li Pingan turned around and responded to his sister: "You are lucky, the TV is still good."

As he spoke, he walked to the drawer and took out the remote control that was covered in dust.

As expected, there was no response when pressing the remote control.

After all, so many years have passed. It would be strange if the battery still had power.

However, this little trouble is not a problem for Li Pingan, a top student in science and engineering.

Nowadays, most mobile phones have built-in infrared function. Mobile phones without infrared function are either too old or too high-end.

The Mi phone in his hand happens to have infrared function.

So, Li Pingan picked up his mobile phone and operated it.

The TV successfully connected to the wireless network and played a random TV series.

When he looked back, he found that his sister had cleaned up the kitchen at some point and was sitting on the sofa behind him like a smart little ghost, staring at the TV screen intently with a satisfied smile on her face.

Meeting his gaze, the girl chuckled.

He hadn't been back for half a year, and instead of going upstairs alone to tinker with his artificial intelligence project, he chose to stay with his sister.

The brother and sister sat together on the sofa, watching the movie which had no appeal to him.

The younger sister next to him was watching with great interest, staring at the screen without blinking, as if she was completely immersed in the world of the movie. "That day when I sent you clothes to school, your class teacher sent me a message." Li Pingan broke the silence.

"Huh?" When Li Ya heard this, she tilted her head and her eyes were full of confusion.

I turned to look at my brother and asked, "What did he say?"

"What else can I say? Of course I'll talk about your grades. And you asked me to help you analyze it." Li Ping'an replied calmly.

Hearing this, Li Ya waved her hand nonchalantly and said:
"Hey, I thought it was no big deal. This monthly exam was a complete mistake. Of course, compared to you, brother, I'd rather lie down obediently."

Her tone was relaxed, and she didn't seem to care about the grades.

The corners of Li Ping'an's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

Although they are born to the same mother, the younger sister’s academic performance is only average.

If the current trend continues, after graduating from high school, the best you can do is get into an ordinary first-class college.

Of course, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that she will suddenly make a breakthrough and achieve rapid improvement in her performance after entering high school.

If it were in the past, Li Ping'an would definitely be patient and slowly guide his sister to study hard, hoping that she could achieve better grades in the future.

But now, the learning machine in his mind has given him new hope and also given his sister a better choice.

Three years, there are still three full years before my sister takes the college entrance examination.

Li Pingan firmly believes that with the artificial intelligence technology in his hands, it will be enough for this small family to live a prosperous life in three years.

After the movie ended, Li Ya was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping and she felt drowsy.

Seeing this, Li Pingan said softly, "Go take a shower and go to bed."

"Oh~" Li Ya yawned loudly, stood up lazily and stretched, and asked:

"Brother, can I turn on the air conditioning?"

"Does our family look like someone who can't afford air conditioning?" Li Ping'an replied with a smile.

"Okay! Long live brother!" Li Ya suddenly became energetic and ran towards the room with joy.

In the slightly cold room, Li Ping'an was lying on the bed, looking through the class group where everyone was enthusiastically discussing the postgraduate entrance examination.

He was not at peace.

"I'd better wait until I have the opportunity in the future and take a postgraduate degree while working."

Li Pingan pondered secretly in his heart.

It’s not that he didn’t want to go straight to graduate school after graduating from his senior year like other students in his class.

However, if he chooses to study full-time as a graduate student, once he takes out the various technical materials in his hands, it will easily cause disputes over ownership.

He didn't want to gain nothing and be branded as a notorious person for stealing technical information.

If you really fall into such a predicament, it will be extremely difficult to make a comeback.

Moreover, her younger sister will also be negatively affected.

He didn't dare to gamble his and his sister's future on the wickedness of human nature.

In his opinion, technology is only truly reliable if it is always in one's own hands.

Just as he was lost in thought, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Li Pingan was confused, wondering who could have sent him a message so late at night. He picked up his phone and saw that someone in the dormitory group was @ing him.
