The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

"What kind of person do you take me for?"

Wang Duoyu rolled his eyes at his nephew and said irritably:

"Tony is just a fictional movie protagonist. Why should I become someone like him?"

Tony Stark in Iron Man is good for nothing except for his superb scientific research abilities and wealth.

If Wang Duoyu had a suit of armor like Tony Stark's, he could definitely do better. At the very least, he would have a happy and fulfilling family. But Tony, well, he's a complete mess.

Therefore, he will not and cannot become someone like Tony.

"Alright, let's not talk about these digressions. Let's get down to business. The new era of artificial intelligence will be ushered in by our Want Want Group."

"Now we need to invest more funds and R&D personnel to provide strong support for our artificial intelligence system development plan."

"Note that the artificial intelligence I'm referring to isn't just ordinary voice assistants, but truly powerful artificial intelligence."

For example, intelligent driving systems.

Jarvis from the movie "Iron Man" is able to assist the protagonist Tony in flying in all aspects. Jarvis has achieved the ultimate in control over power, aerodynamics and other aspects.

Based on this alone, the Nuwa AI system would need many years to learn.

Of course, intelligent driving systems are the future development direction of new energy vehicles, and traditional fuel vehicle companies such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi under Want Want Group have also developed new energy vehicles.

However, it is far from being comparable to the Diaopai Group under Harbin Institute of Technology.

This is because Diaopai Group is the dominant player in China's new energy vehicle market, holding a 70% share of the mainland's new energy vehicle market. Even in the international new energy vehicle market, Diaopai Group holds an extremely high market share.

Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi are quite good, especially in the international automotive market. A decade ago, Mercedes-Benz broke General Motors' dominance and topped the global car sales charts.

However, Mercedes-Benz Group's business in the new energy vehicle market is relatively average.

In this way, intelligent driving systems may become one of the keys for companies like Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and BMW to achieve a turnaround.

As soon as Wang Duoyu raised the issue, Zhou Qirui and the others started a heated discussion.

However, Wang Duoyu did not intend to discuss it with everyone, but directly made a decision on the next development strategy and the primary and secondary priorities.

First, priority is given to allocating funds to artificial intelligence system research and development projects, with a particular emphasis on hardware development, especially performance-enhancing technologies such as GPUs.

In fact, Wang Duoyu also knew that quantum computers were the future, but he always liked to do things with both hands, and to make sure both were strong.

He doesn't like being passive.

He had already established a quantum computer project as early as 1997, but progress has been slow over the past decade.

It's not that he's unwilling, but many things can't be accomplished quickly just by giving enough money.

In any case, there's still no sign of a qualified quantum computer.

However, in the year before last, more research teams joined to accelerate the development of quantum chips, quantum memories, quantum algorithms and applications, quantum coding languages ​​and development frameworks, quantum compilers and optimizers, quantum operating systems, quantum measurement and control software and firmware.

Wang Duoyu is unsure when a quantum computer will be developed; he currently needs a large cluster of servers to help him train his AI.

Therefore, there must be enough hardware, and there must also be enough R&D talent for artificial intelligence systems.

"Secondly, our artificial intelligence systems research plan focuses on several major areas: intelligent driving systems, robotics, medical AI, fintech, and smart cities."

hiss!
Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Dai Ronghua gasped.

"Professor, isn't this too much? We might not be able to support it with our funding and personnel."

He was practically saying that Wang Duoyu was too greedy.

Because in the short term, the application of artificial intelligence systems will inevitably be in areas such as autonomous driving and robotics.

Self-driving technology goes without saying; choosing a car as the primary mode of transportation when going out is already a necessity.

Take China as an example. Twenty years ago, you could hardly see any cars on the road, and there weren't many roads in China at that time. Most of the national highways were built gradually in the 1980s and 1990s.

The "Village-to-Village Connectivity Project" was proposed a few years ago, and it has only been completed in economically developed southern provinces and near Harbin.

The central and western provinces are still in the process of implementing this project, and it would be quite an achievement if they could successfully complete it within the next ten to twenty years.

The number of cars in China will definitely increase. With the huge population in mainland China today, and the rapid growth of the population by more than 19 to 20 million newborns every year, the scale of the domestic car market will become terrifying in the future.

"not much!"

Wang Duoyu waved his hand:
“We are not under financial pressure. Of course I know that we are currently undertaking many scientific research projects, including the lunar base project, the Mars exploration program, the quantum computer project, and so on. These projects are indeed very expensive.”

"But our annual profits are substantial enough to cover the costs of these projects. I've done the calculations, so you don't need to worry about that."

"As for the issue of researchers, I'll say it again: if we don't have enough people, we'll recruit from outside. We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater..."

Dai Ronghua and the others could only nod in agreement.

After all, Wang Duoyu had already made his point, and if they continued to object, they would inevitably be disliked by him.

Of course, most importantly, Wang Duoyu's identity alone is enough to convince everyone.

For the past two decades, Wang Duoyu has been the driving force behind all of Want Want Group's major projects, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

The reason Dai Ronghua raised his objection at this time was simply to remind Wang Duoyu from a professional and market perspective, as the person in charge of Huachen Mobile.

He himself knows that artificial intelligence is the future and is unstoppable.

They also understand that the comprehensive development of artificial intelligence across all industries would be better for Want Want Group.

But you have to eat one bite at a time; you can't get fat in one bite!
The topic ended there after Wang Duoyu made the final decision.

The year-end summary meeting lasted for five days and passed quickly.

Over the past few days, everyone has been eating and drinking together, and on the last night, they even celebrated together.

After the conference, the artificial intelligence system project was officially launched. Wang Duoyu did not keep a close eye on it, but instead asked his second brother, Wang Junan, to keep an eye on it in his spare time.

Unexpectedly, the eldest brother, Wang Junhong, is quite interested in artificial intelligence. This is mainly because of the time when Xie Yunshu, Wang Junkang's fake girlfriend, had her best friend Song Meng post a confidential photo on social media. In the end, it was Wang Junhong who used hacking skills to delete the photo.

That's how the matter was resolved. The reason the artificial intelligence system piqued Wang Junhong's interest was because he learned about the Nuwa AI system from his father's study in the villa.

Absolutely stunning!

Although pure mathematical theory research was his true passion, he was not his father, and he was influenced by his father, so he was bound to be interested in his father's research projects.

"Then give it to my older brother. I have my own projects to attend to anyway."

Wang Junan was quite carefree, and judging from his expression, he even seemed relieved.

"Alright, then I won't try to persuade you anymore. Just make sure you two brothers can handle it." Wang Duoyu nodded and continued:

"The Spring Festival is at the beginning of next month. Our family will be celebrating the Spring Festival in Shangri-La on the 3rd of next month. Please make arrangements in advance."

Ah!
February has arrived in the blink of an eye, and the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, with the festive atmosphere becoming increasingly strong across the country.

At that time, fireworks and firecrackers were not yet banned in China, so you could find fireworks and firecracker shops in any small town market in the country.

That morning, Wang Duoyu and his family appeared on the busiest market street in Shangri-La County, which was quite crowded and lively.

Because everywhere you look, there are people.

It took Wang Duoyu and his family more than half an hour to walk less than fifty meters.

It's not entirely because there are many strange and unusual goods here, but more because there are a huge number of people.

The streets of the town market are not very wide; from the shop on the left to the shop on the right, it's at most about twenty meters.

Outside the store, many elderly people were setting up stalls to sell local products, such as honey, mushrooms, herbs, free-range chickens, and homemade bamboo baskets. The wide variety of goods was dazzling.

Therefore, although it is said to be 20 meters wide, the actual width of the road that can be passed by cars is less than 7 or 8 meters.

And now it's the busiest day of the market before the Spring Festival, so a large number of young people who have returned to their hometowns have all come out.

At this time of day, many villages probably don't have many people around, because everyone has gone out to buy local produce.

"Dad, let's buy this!" Wang Ruoxi said, her eyes shining as she held her father's big hand and pointed to the bright red mushrooms in front of her.

Huang Huiru's face immediately turned as black as ink:
“Dabao, we can’t buy this. We’re from out of town and don’t know how to cook these mushrooms. If we don’t cook them properly, they can be poisonous, and we can’t eat them.”

what?
The little girl was disappointed, but she didn't ask any more questions because her attention had been drawn to her uncle's shouts.

She saw her uncle, Wang Junxian, pointing at the fish in front of him and asking the old man selling mountain products what kind of fish it was, because it was very beautiful and pretty.

Wang Duoyu really wanted to say that this thing was for protecting fish, but unfortunately there were so many people around, it wasn't appropriate for him to say it.

I guess the local authorities don't enforce animal protection laws very strictly.

After all, for many ethnic minorities, fish and other animals are simply part of their diet, and there is no question of protection.

Yuan Zuliang and his group were not far from Wang Duoyu, separated by only two people, namely Wang Yifei and Bai Doufu. So, the whole family was actually surrounded by Yuan Zuliang and the others.

However, Yuan Zuliang and his group weren't dressed very formally today, so they weren't very conspicuous.

Even so, they were such a tall and imposing group of people.

In addition, Wang Duoyu and his family were completely different from the farmers in the town. You could tell at a glance that Wang Duoyu and his group were like phoenixes in a chicken coop, standing out from the crowd.

But it's just before the Spring Festival, and there are young people returning from working in other places everywhere, so it's quite normal for an oddity like Wang Duoyu's family to appear as the Spring Festival approaches.

In addition, people only glance at it with surprise, at most twice, and then their attention is drawn to other people or things.

Wang Duoyu's family shopped for more than two hours, and Liu Xiaoli, Wang Yifei, Huang Huiru, Dai Junzhu and the other women all bought a lot of things.

Especially Wang Ruoxi, Wang Junxian, Wang Sixin, Bai Doufu and those little brats, each of them had a lot of food in their hands.

After purchasing the New Year's goods, the family headed home.

Like many other villagers from the surrounding area who came to the market, they drove for a long time along the mountain road with the New Year's goods they had purchased, and finally returned to their small village in Nilonggou.

After arriving home, those who needed to clean did so, and those who needed to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner did so.

This year, Wang Duoyu also invited Yuan Zuliang's family to come over so they could celebrate the New Year together.

There was no other way; Wang Duoyu needed Yuan Zuliang and the others' protection. In previous years, they couldn't let them go back to reunite with their families, so this year they asked them to invite their families over to celebrate the Spring Festival together.

In the afternoon, Wang Duoyu carried the New Year's goods he had purchased and went to Nilonggou Village to find the villagers.

It's a kind of unconventional way of showing our regards; we're giving out some gifts to keep the villagers entertained.

Wang Duoyu came to the small mountain village of Nilonggou for the Spring Festival. The villagers did not dare to come because they were afraid of disturbing him. However, Wang Duoyu knew the situation, so he took the initiative to give gifts to the villagers.

While he was busy, Bai Doufu and the other kids were taking pictures in the mountains with their phones.

Because Bai Doufu runs a Weibo account, she took over the traffic after her older sister went into hiding at the astronaut training center.

Unfortunately, in the past six months, apart from the two songs she had already recorded, Wang Yifei has not released any other works or news.

Although everyone knows that Wang Yifei doesn't like attending events, she has at least been to some events, right?

Now, more than half a year has passed, and there has been no news at all. Even my favorite Weibo account hasn't been updated since September of last year.

If Bai Doufu (Wang Yifei's nickname) hadn't been happily updating her Weibo, fans would probably have thought something had happened to Wang Yifei.

On a country road, Bai Doufu held a mobile phone and a teleprompter, then pointed the camera at three-year-old Wang Wenbin.

"You city bumpkin, don't even think about sending me your winter break homework. It's snowing and the roads are slippery. China Post can deliver everywhere, but it can only deliver to towns. Isn't that infuriating?"

"I live in a remote mountain village, hahaha! Don't send it! Send it to someone who needs it. I'm only three years old, I don't need this."

Wang Wenbin, speaking in a childish voice, uttered these words, specifically mentioning the postal service.

This really ignited a fire.

After Bai Doufu posted the video, it instantly went viral on Weibo.

The nightmare of winter break homework has returned. (End of Chapter)
