My Fintech Empire

Fang Hong browsed the documents of the biological computer project that the research team of the University of Science and Technology of China was going to do. According to the report of the team, they used the most powerful supercomputer in China and the "Tianhe-1", which ranked first in the world last year, to compete with the human brain. Cell-driven biocomputers make a comparison.

The power consumption of the Tianhe-1 supercomputer can reach 4.04 megawatts, while the human brain runs at the same speed, and the power consumption is less than 1 watt. The difference in power consumption between the two is measured in "tens of millions of times". .

The stride length of Tianhe-1 supercomputer is tens of kilometers, while the length of brain-like axons and dendrites can reach 850,000 kilometers;

The Tianhe-1 supercomputer has billions of transistors, while the human brain has 125 trillion synapses;

The total memory capacity of the Tianhe-1 supercomputer is 98TB, while the storage capacity of the human brain has reached an astonishing 2,500TB capacity.

In addition, the learning ability of living things is far superior to that of traditional computers. Humans, animals or insects can learn to solve problems with relatively few samples. Being able to process some simple calculations in order, even in the past five or eight years, is still the same, and it is difficult to make leaps and bounds.

Biological brains, especially human brains, are better at dealing with uncertain and complex information. Traditional classical computers are extremely primitive compared with biological systems in terms of energy efficiency and learning ability.

At the end, after reading the material report of the University of Science and Technology of China, Fang Hong couldn't help saying to himself: "The scientific research team of the University of Science and Technology of China seems to have high expectations for biological computers."

According to its report, the human brain cells used by the biological computer to be studied by this scientific research team are not taken out from the human brain, but are derived through stem cell differentiation.

After the brain organoid is formed, the corresponding interface and algorithm will be developed to communicate with the brain-like organ, and then its learning and computing principles will be further studied on this basis.

Fang Hong glanced at the beautiful assistant and asked, "What's the current progress in the research on this biological computer?"

The report did not elaborate.

Tian Jiayi replied immediately: "It can't be said that there is no progress, it can only be said that the work has been in vain."

Hearing this, Fang Hong couldn't help but laugh, no wonder he couldn't get the funding.

However, to create a powerful, efficient and intelligent human brain organ that can also interact with the surrounding environment, it is necessary to face many ethical issues, not to mention technical difficulties, there are still many troubles, no wonder the leaders are not too cold up.

However, Fang Hong, who is a time traveler, knows that the human brain is actually a biological quantum computer. There is indeed such a saying in the current academic circles, but there are no relevant papers and research to confirm this, and it is still in the stage of hypothesis speculation.

Fang Hong asked, "How much do they want me to pay?"

Tian Jiayi replied: "45 million yuan."

Hearing this, Fang Hongyan said bluntly: "Then give it. If you take 10,000 steps back, you will lose 50 million. As for the subsequent additional investment, you have to make progress."

After browsing the following five projects, these projects are all related to cutting-edge technology fields, and many of them are even in conception, but one of the projects that develops power robot technology has aroused Fang Hong's great interest.

At this moment, Fang Hong, who was browsing the materials, couldn't help laughing and said, "Ma Gaoyuan? People of the Ma generation are generally not simple."

After making a joke, I read the content of the material further. According to the material, the founder of the project is Ma Gaoyuan, who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a Ph.D. He returned to China five years ago and co-founded a technology company that researches robots. That is, Qiming Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.

The company works on robots, and specifically their legs.

Ma Gaoyuan developed a self-balancing single-leg jumping robot when he was abroad, and then came back with his own research results, and received an investment of 5 million yuan in China, and Qiming Smart was born.

In fact, when he was in North America, he was approached by capital and proposed a plan to invest 15 million US dollars, hoping that he would stay in North America to start a business.

At that time, Ma Gaoyuan rejected the investment from the people of Magnesium and returned to China with enthusiasm, intending to make a career out of it.

It was quite smooth at the beginning, and even received investment. Although it was far less than the amount given by the people of Magnesia, it was still moving forward in a difficult way. However, the situation changed later, and the leaders of the local scientific research institute miscalculated. Not to mention that the research results were seized, they were also kicked out of Qiming Intelligence.

It can be said to be disheartened.

At the same time, an invitation letter from a peer company in North America was sent to him this year, inviting him to develop in North America.

Ma Gaoyuan delivered this project to Fang Hong this time, and he also made a new plan. If he can get investment from Fang Hong, he will start again and learn from the previous lessons to firmly grasp the control of the new company. in hand.

If there is no voice, then go to Silicon Valley, where there is no place to stay.

Fang Hong looked at the material report and couldn't help sighing: "That's how talents flow out. Sometimes we can't simply label these people as 'exquisite and self-interested'."

According to this material report, Ma Gaoyuan listed his detailed plan for the new company. He intends to research a variety of robots, mainly taking the bionic route, such as robot horses, robot dogs, robot leopards, robot wild cats, and even standing upright with two legs robot.

There are also flea machines, swamp machines, wall climbing machines, and more.

According to Ma Gaoyuan's description, these bionic machines have a computer vision system that can automatically grasp the direction and move without even needing remote control driving.

For example, after he broke away from Qiming Smart, he made a newly developed robot dog by himself. It is about 0.9 meters long and 0.7 meters high. It can climb slopes with an angle of 35 degrees, cross stone roads, mud roads, etc. Up to 150 kg.

After reading this material, Fang Hong's eyes also brightened. He understood that as long as the things Ma Gaoyuan researched were successful, they would be the first to be applied in the military field, and the civilian commercial field also had a huge room for imagination.

The robot studied by Ma Gaoyuan has a leg with a structure similar to that of the human hip joint, which makes it stable, and the response speed of the joint is an order of magnitude higher than that of ordinary robots. New adjustments have also been made.

In the end, Fang Hong said decisively: "This person must stay. Didn't he want to invest 50 million? I will give him 500 million but the equity will remain the same. The most important thing is, we need to let him know, and let other followers People who have experienced similar tragedies in Gaoyuan know that although there are many ghosts and ghosts, there are also people with lofty ideals."

Fang Hong immediately added: "Don't use my name, let Qunxing Capital directly talk to him, and use this case as a model to operate."

Qunxing Capital is more influential. Although the reputation of "God K" is great now, no matter how big it is, it is still an individual. It is completely incomparable with Qunxing Capital. Since it wants to recruit more talents in similar situations, it is better for Qunxing Capital to come forward .

It is necessary to keep Ma Gaoyuan, not only for himself, but also represents a group of elites who came back with aspirations and left with a broken heart.

Taking a step back, Ma Gaoyuan himself is a top talent. After reading this material, Fang Hong can conclude that if he goes out, he will probably be recruited by Boston Dynamics Robotics, because his research is in the same field as Boston Dynamics. .
