Technology dominance starts with learning machines

Chapter 77 "Acquaintance"

Liu Aijun stood straight with a calm face, looking calmly at Li Pingan who was frowning and lost in thought.

There is no urging.

Not far away, the soldiers, under the command of the platoon leader, carefully and orderly checked the damage to the mechanical dog that had just finished the exercise.

They are skilled in their movements.

Occasionally, a soldier would glance over here out of the corner of his eye, as if curious about the communication between the young man and the leader.

After a long time, Li Ping'an's frown slowly relaxed.

Given his mastery of artificial intelligence technology, it is actually not difficult for him to meet the military's requirements.

Since the company's artificial intelligence Xiao Fang was first launched online, people should have a rough assessment of Xiao Fang's intelligence level.

However, the evaluation was only of the Xiaofang that was not yet perfect at that time, not the complete Xiaofang today.

Although Xiao Fang is now a complete body, he is not an intelligent life with self-awareness in the true sense.

But it has a unique analog logic system.

It can accurately simulate human logical thinking patterns and ways of thinking, and use this as a basis to deal with various complex problems.

“It’s a little difficult, but… it’s not impossible.”

Li Pingan spoke slowly, with a hint of hesitation in his words.

"I need the parameter data of this mechanical dog, especially the relevant information of its core data processing chip."

As soon as he said this, Li Ping'an keenly noticed that Liu Aijun looked at him deeply, and that look made Li Ping'an feel a little puzzled.

"Communicator." Liu Aijun shouted in a low and powerful voice.

"Here!" the communicator responded quickly and loudly, trotting over with brisk steps.

Liu Aijun gave the order: "Go to the warehouse and get a scrapped robot dog. Also, bring me the few drawings that are under the notebook in my office."

"Yes!"

About ten minutes later, the communicator hurried over from outside the training ground, holding a so-called "scrapped" mechanical dog.

After Li Ping'an looked at it carefully from a close distance, he couldn't help but wonder: Which internal component is broken?
Isn't it normal wear and tear on the exterior?
When Liu Aijun handed the drawings to Li Pingan, his tone was extremely serious, and he said solemnly: "You can check the drawings and parameters, but you must not pass them on.

Otherwise, you should be able to realize the seriousness of the consequences without me having to explain more."

Li Pingan nodded slightly, responded, and then reached out to take the drawing.

After taking the blueprint, Li Pingan’s goal was very clear, which was the most core component of the mechanical dog - the chip.

Anyone who knows a little about artificial intelligence knows that in order to make a machine have a higher level of intelligence, in addition to optimizing the algorithm, it is also necessary.

The chip's computing power support and data processing capabilities also play a crucial role.

In addition, high-speed memory is also a key factor.

If the chip has excellent performance but is paired with an ordinary internal memory.

Then no matter how powerful the chip is, it will be difficult to fully exert its full performance, just like a thousand-mile horse that cannot find a good horse trainer, and has all the skills but is unable to display them.

However, the next second, when Li Ping'an's eyes fell on the chip size and corresponding data marked on the drawing, he was stunned and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Four-nanometer process? This shocked him greatly. With the current level of semiconductor manufacturing technology in China, where could a four-nanometer lithography machine come from?

Something's wrong! Something is very wrong!

It's so abnormal.

Moreover… this 4-nanometer chip is actually the size of a palm! With such a large area, it’s no wonder that the robot dog’s endurance is not that good in combat.

The chip is so large that even if it uses the advanced four-nanometer process, its power consumption is unimaginable when working at full load.

In addition, the radar, infrared, and camera equipped by the robot dog are all big power consumers. It would be strange if it had a long battery life.

At this moment, Li Ping'an finally realized what was going on. No wonder the leader looked at him with such a meaningful look just now.

It turns out there is such a secret hidden behind this.

Li Ping'an couldn't help but feel a little confused. Could it be that the military really had no concerns that he would leak the secret?

"You're weird? Surprised and curious, right?"

Liu Aijun seemed to see through Li Ping'an's thoughts and asked.

Li Ping'an always felt that what the leader was going to say next was not something an ordinary businessman like him could listen to, so he coughed lightly.

"Ahem. Ahem. Chief, I'm not curious at all. Really."

Li Ping'an secretly decided in his heart that it would be better for him to complete the mission as soon as possible and leave the military camp as soon as possible.

After all, the less you know about some secrets, the further away the danger will be from you;

On the contrary, if you know too much, all kinds of troubles will probably follow, just like being trapped in an endless quagmire and unable to escape.

In fact, it is not difficult for him to optimize the programs of these mechanical dogs.

From the performance of the robot dog during the exercise, it can be clearly seen that the original program codes have been repeatedly optimized and polished by scientific researchers, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve such agile and coordinated movements, as if it had life.

If we want to make these programs more intelligent, the key lies in the core algorithm design.

"Chief, I need a computer and the source code of this mechanical dog." Li Pingan said.

"I've prepared it for you a long time ago. I was just waiting for you to say this."

"go!"

After coming out of the training ground, Li Pingan followed Liu Aijun into a two-story building.

It was not until then that he was surprised to find that behind the military camp, there was actually a large-scale research institute with complete facilities hidden.

Walking into the research institute, Li Ping'an's eyes were immediately attracted by the dazzling array of robots of various shapes in front of him.

He had seen most of the robots in science fiction movies.

This made Li Pingan deeply feel the terrifying strength of domestic scientific research.

As long as someone dares to have bold ideas, they can really move forward towards the set goals.

That spider robot, if Li Ping'an remembers correctly, seems to be an underwater robot, but he doesn't know what its actual combat capability is.

Among the many robots of different shapes, Li Pingan did not see a humanoid robot.

Although Li Ping'an was a little curious about this, he was not surprised.

After all, even as an outsider, he knew that humanoid robots might be more in line with human aesthetic standards in appearance.

However, in actual battlefield application scenarios, their functionality and practicality are far inferior to those of animal-shaped robots.

Moreover, the design requirements and technical difficulties of humanoid robots are much higher than those of other robots.

What the military is pursuing are robots that can exert powerful combat capabilities on the battlefield, rather than service robots that are used to serve human daily life!

After following Liu Aijun into the research institute, Li Pingan saw an unexpected "acquaintance".
