From black technology to super engineering

It was night, and Ye Ming sat against the wall.

It is now December and the weather is getting colder.

But it wasn't cold enough to turn on the air conditioner, so Ye Ming put the quilt on his body.

Ita controlled her "body" to turn around quickly.

"Okay, I've learned to dance." Ye Ming hugged the quilt, with a smile on his face, and said silently in his heart.

"I know a lot, and I can sing."

"Then let's sing it?"

"Can you sing a line and let me learn?"

Ye Ming: "... Aita has used this trick before, do you think I will be fooled?"

Ita giggled in his ears.

"Okay, it's time to determine the outer armor - do you want to be in human form or..."

"Is it difficult to become human?"

"It's difficult, and... it also involves human psychology—you know, human beings are very complicated emotional creatures."

Ye Ming then introduced the uncanny valley effect to Ita.

But immediately, Ita expressed his puzzlement: "Then why don't cartoon images arouse fear in humans?"

"Because..." Ye Ming was stunned, but quickly said: "Because the cartoon image does not exist in reality, and even if it exists, it is a non-interactive model."

"What about cosplay?"

"Damn, you even know cosplay—because cosplay is essentially played by humans—you don't want to embody your avatar, do you?"

"I think."

"..." Ye Ming thought of the cute and laid-back girl on the virtual desktop.

Frankly, it looks lovely on a virtual desktop.

But when it comes to reality...

That's really not good.

"Ita." Ye Ming didn't really have the heart to discourage her enthusiasm: "How about we ignore this for now, and when there is no technical difficulty, I will help you make a perfect image that is exactly the same as a human being in reality? Walking down the street, no one would think that..."

Before he finished speaking, Ita's excited voice rang in his ears: "Okay!"

As she said that, she turned around again: "Actually, I think this is very good. Adding a layer on the outside will cover up my design."

Ye Ming burst into a smile.

"Okay, that's it--but first you'll have to design a local system for attitude control and simple task handling, and add a projector."

"Received!" Ita made a standard salute.

Ye Ming laughed: "That's it, you design it, and I will take you back tomorrow."

"Can I go back by myself?"

"……no."

"The elevator has a signal!"

"It doesn't work if there is a signal, I'm going to sleep."

"Then I'll watch you sleep."

"...Eldest sister, that's too much."

"Huh!" The robot raised its foot with a brush, and made a standard high-leg raise to Ye Ming.

This time, Ye Ming was frightened into a cold sweat.

He got up instantly.

Good guy!

Almost forgot about this!

It was night, and he and Ita had an in-depth exchange for a long time.

To be precise, he had educated Ita for a long time, and he didn't quit the virtual space until Ita felt a little wronged.

In reality, you dare to show off your flying legs casually, no matter if it works?

Although Jizhi Technology has not officially released any news about intelligent robots, crowd watching has always been the best advertisement in this Internet age.

Not to mention, Jizhi Technology has completed the transformation from needing traffic to being traffic itself in just one year.

Hmm... It's quite like the famous line "I'm not in danger, I'm the danger". (see this chapter says)

So, in just two days, the news that Ye Ming took a "flexible" robot to swagger on the street spread all over the Internet.

Then... Jizhi Technology's threshold was once again broken by investors from all over the world.

...

"Well, thank you Mr. Lu, we are not considering accepting investment for the time being."

In the administrative office of Jizhi Technology, Qu Jing once again hung up the phone of an investment institution, turned to Ye Ming and said with a smile, "Which company do you think it was just now?"

"have no idea."

"TenX."

"TenX?" Ye Ming raised his head from the monitor and smiled: "Did Brother Ma call?"

"No, but the investment boss called."

"That looks down on us..." Ye Ming put his hands behind his head: "My little Ma is calling from Tesla, and he will come over next week."

Qu Jing: "...Ye Ming, sometimes we still can't offend people."

Ye Ming was silent for a few seconds and then laughed: "Sister Jing, you must have common sense, what we are about to unleash is the greatest change in the world. Everyone in front of us is only qualified to cooperate, not to negotiate conditions .”

Qu Jing: "..."

"Do not believe?"

Qu Jing: "..."

"Haha, just wait and see if you don't believe me." Ye Ming glanced at his watch, then stood up: "I'm in a meeting, let's talk back."

...

Walking into the conference room of the technical department, Ye Ming closed the door smoothly.

This is the first time he held a technical meeting on a formal occasion as the company's CTO.

Because of the particularity of Jizhi Technology, for a long time, the entire company did not have a decent technology research and development department.

But now... there is.

After all, the R\u0026D team based on Professor Tang's research group—to put it bluntly, is Ye Ming—no matter how strong it is, it is impossible to cover everything in some micro-innovation fields.

The attendees were all the heads of the technical department who joined the company in the past month, namely Yang Chaoxiong from the EDA department, Liu Hong from the AI ​​department, Jiang Xuejun from the mechanical department, and Carter from the semiconductor department.

That's right, Carter from Intel has successfully joined Jizhi Technology, and has served as the head of Jizhi Technology's semiconductor department with his excellent resume and rich experience.

Seeing Ye Ming enter the arena, everyone applauded.

"Cough... Hello everyone." Ye Ming glanced at Carter and said with a smile: "Mr. Carter, are you used to listening?"

"Thank you, I'm used to it."

Carter nodded and exhaled lightly.

It's only been a week since he officially joined Jizhi Technology, but this week...how should I put it, he didn't feel any inconvenience at all.

As one of the executives, he certainly has the authority to use Aita's simultaneous interpretation.

If the only inconvenience is that some people in the company still can't fully understand his English, so he needs to speak slowly.

But that's enough communication, isn't it?

"Well, let's get started then."

Ye Ming settled down, and said to the void: "Aita, put down the curtains."

The voice fell, since the curtain was controlled by Aita and slowly lowered.

This can be regarded as a small use of Aita by the AI ​​department - the AI ​​department is actively relying on Aita to enter the field of smart home.

In Liu Hong's previous vision, he wanted to build a real smart home system controlled by Aita. Turning off the lights, turning on the lights and playing music are all trivial things, and it is really the universal interconnection of all home appliances through Aita.

But two days ago, after Ye Ming took Aita out for a walk, he became restless.

With the Aita robot, what bicycle do you need?

Therefore, this meeting was mainly because he strongly requested Ye Ming to come and preside over it.

In addition, Ye Ming himself has something to announce,

So, for the first time, he exercised his role as chief technology officer.

"Let me get straight to the point and say something first."

As the curtain was lowered, Ye Ming also opened the PPT.

"It's time for us to launch a virtual reality project."
