Rewrite the Technological Landscape

At 11:45 pm on December 31, 2019, 38-year-old Meng Qian was in a taxi heading to Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport.

Looking at the lights of Wanjia outside the window, and seeing the flow of people with smiling faces ready to welcome 2020, the integer New Year, Meng Qian's face looked extremely heavy.

Because at this moment, he is going to the United States, but it is not for tourism, nor for further study, but to deal with the company's crisis.

Meng Qian is now working as an algorithm architect in a technology company in Hangzhou that focuses on artificial intelligence research and development. At present, the company is not well-known, but its development speed is very fast, especially the company's research on the next generation of intelligent algorithms has achieved great results. Favored by the small capital, it just received 800 million round B investment not long ago.

But just two hours ago, Meng Qian, who was about to continue to make a big splash in artificial intelligence research and development, was called to the office by the chairman and told him that there was a problem with the company's products.

Since Meng Qian joined the company at the age of 28 in 2009, he has worked out the entire technology department of the company step by step. He knows better than anyone else whether there is any problem with the company's algorithm.

This kind of crime has affected many Chinese companies over the years, and this time it was finally Meng Qian's company, but Meng Qian's company was not the main force targeted, this time it was actually aimed at the development of China's entire artificial intelligence.

The reason for this is very clear to Meng Qian. In the entire computer industry, the West has absolute monopoly power in software, hardware and upstream and downstream. The gap in technological development over the past few decades has made Huaxia want to directly strengthen the West in the computer industry.

However, due to the fact that the development of science and technology is the core battlefield of the future great power struggle, even if it is a pebble against a stone, it will win. This is why Huaxia has been exploring scientific research and development for more than 30 years since the 1980s. During this period, Huaxia invested a lot of capital in the technology industry. Everyone has felt what it means to fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain, and a large number of people have felt what it means to be powerless.

After 2010, in the face of the comprehensive monopoly and restrictions of the computer industry and even the entire industrial field, Huaxia finally found a way out, that is, many people have heard a saying over the years, called cornering overtaking.

The main means of overtaking on curves is divided into two battlefields: soft power and hard power.

The so-called soft power battlefield is also called application warfare. It is like the reinforced concrete structure of the house in the West. It looks good, has a higher space utilization rate than yours, and is more suitable for living than yours.

The things that have emerged from this are the mobile payment that everyone is familiar with now, the sharing economy, the takeaway express delivery system, and the camera capability of the mobile phone, the appearance design, etc.

To be honest, these things belong to soft power. Even before the core technology of the battery has not broken through, mobile phone battery life is soft power. You can't monopolize the mobile phone market by the battery life of the mobile phone, and you can't rely on the mobile phone payment function to choke anyone's neck.

But we have fallen behind in hard power, and the development of hard power can only be done slowly, so we can only start with soft power. In this way, at least a lot of markets and users can be recovered or even created, and then money can be made. After all, if you can’t make money, how can you develop hard power?

Knock out the chip with the keyboard?

So every time someone says that Huaxia knows how to do these fancy things, insiders will find it ridiculous. If they don't develop these so-called fancy things in the mouth of keyboard warriors, Huaxia's technology industry will only fall further behind.

And Meng Qian never thinks these things are gimmicky. How to win more with less on the battlefield depends on tactics, means, and skills. If you win for sure, there won't be so many classic battles in history.

Besides, even if we have to talk about the battlefield of hard power, Huaxia now has a corner to overtake, that is artificial intelligence and quantum technology. Whoever can give priority to controlling quantum technology will be able to achieve quantum hegemony and directly change the industrial rules. This is a well-known fact, and Huaxia is now at the forefront of quantum technology, but human beings control quantum technology, regardless of Google's bragging, it really needs to be fully controlled , I don't know when it happened.

Looking at artificial intelligence again, true intelligence is still far away, but the application of artificial intelligence has entered a critical moment, and at this moment, Huaxia's artificial intelligence has obviously begun to exert its strength.

Before the advent of the big data Internet era and the mobile Internet era, artificial intelligence was neglected by the West for a long time because of its weak application support. Coupled with the high difficulty of the technology itself, this has prevented this industry from appearing absolute. monopoly situation.

Coincidentally, in Huaxia, where the development of the mobile Internet is the most vigorous, it is precisely because we have spent a lot of energy on the development of the application side that instead, artificial intelligence has a fertile ground for rapid development in China, which in turn promotes the development of artificial intelligence in China.

Even in the field of chips that was absolutely locked by the West, Huaxia relied on artificial intelligence to open the door to AI chips and opened the road to overtaking in a corner in the development of artificial intelligence hardware.

So it is really helpless to compare the Kirin chip with Apple and Qualcomm chips. They are not even willing to sell us a lithography machine, and they have fixed all the parameters of the general-purpose chip, directly restricting it from the source. China's chip level has been surpassed. From the perspective of general-purpose chips, China is at least three generations behind others.

But now the gap between Kirin chips and Apple and Qualcomm's actual use is not as exaggerated as the third generation, which is the beauty of this corner overtaking.

Of course, it may be the happiest if you can be tough, but people always have to consider reality.

Therefore, the West, which has gradually realized that China is developing a little fast in the field of artificial intelligence, will start to attack this field sooner or later.

For this kind of helplessness, Meng Qian can't do much, he can only do his job well, as for now, what he wants is to go to the United States to meet with the lawyer as soon as possible, and find a way to keep his company.

Regardless of other things, for Meng Qian, the company's products are all his hard work in the past ten years. The development of the company is Meng Qian's best feedback to Bole. The future of the company is what he, as an ordinary individual, can do for the rise of Huaxia Science and Technology. best effort.

Therefore, he will definitely try his best to keep at least this spark that belongs to him.

"Om~"

Just as Meng Qian was thinking about his strategy after going to the United States, a call came from his mobile phone. He glanced at it. It was an algorithm engineer under him and his apprentice for seven years, He Jingtong.

"Jing Tong."

"Old Meng, have you arrived at the airport yet?"

"Still on the road, there is a bit of a traffic jam on the elevated highway tonight." Meng Qian could sense that He Jingtong's mood was not right, "Why are you calling me?"

"Old Meng, after you arrive in the United States, you must withstand the pressure and hold our bottom line. The artificial intelligence we have developed with great difficulty must not be suppressed!"

Noticing that He Jingtong's emotions became more agitated, Meng Qian simply took the initiative to ask, "What's the matter with you? Something's wrong."

"Damn it, I'm about to die of anger, go and read the comments on the Internet, there are still a bunch of people scolding our Chinese scientific researchers for being incompetent!

If our scientific predecessors hadn't created the atomic bomb, if our scientific predecessors hadn't modernized when they were poor, how could these people have the opportunity to spray us on the Internet!

I'm really upset, China's industry started decades behind the West. Generations of our scientific researchers have worked hard to achieve today's achievements. Now it's good, but we, our own family members, are doing it day by day. Dismantling our platform makes us who are engaged in scientific research seem like sinners of history.

Damn, if it weren't for the invasion and suppression of their Western fathers, our industrialization development would be faster!

Damn, the more you think about it, the more your mother will get angry. If you despise your country so much, get out! "

"Okay, Jingtong." Meng Qian smiled faintly. He Jingtong has such a personality. He is obviously 30 years old, but he is still very emotional and impulsive like a young man in his early twenties. Moreover, in his three views The world is black and white.

In this era where sophistication is so sophisticated and there seems to be no right or wrong in anything, He Jingtong seems a bit out of place, but this is exactly what Meng Qian likes about him. Such people are really rare in this era, "Don't you I get so excited every time something happens.

Although I haven’t watched the news, I believe that there are definitely more people who support our compatriots on the Internet than those who scold us. Remember what I told you, people first live for themselves, and then live for those like-minded people. Last but not least live for those who are not on a channel at all.

Our scientific research has never been for those people, you don't care what they say. "

"But looking at those comments is very uncomfortable. Seeing that they are capable one by one on the Internet, making chips is as simple as kneading mud!"

"Okay, okay, just scold as much as you want, but I have to remind you about something important. I just contacted the lawyer over there. I guess I will have to stay in the United States for a while this time. The company's next-generation algorithm It has come to a critical moment, you are staring at me to death, this is the painstaking effort of all of us."

"I know, this matter."

"boom!"

At this moment, Meng Qian suddenly heard the sound of fireworks exploding, and subconsciously glanced at the time. It is now 11:59, and the countdown to the New Year has entered the second level.

"Isn't fireworks banned in the main city?" Meng Qian subconsciously asked.

"Yeah." The driver couldn't help turning his head to look in the direction of the fireworks, "I guess it's the stupid son of some landlord's family."

"boom!"

Just a few seconds after the driver turned his head, a truck suddenly lost control and rushed towards the taxi where Meng Qian was sitting. When the taxi driver turned back again, he had lost his reaction time and instinctively pulled the steering wheel.

"boom!"

The taxi was directly pushed out of the viaduct and fell down.

"Bamboo pole, bamboo pole, what are you doing!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

In a daze, Meng Qian heard someone calling him his nickname when he was young, and the sound of fireworks exploding. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the fireworks in the sky, and beside him was a young man. A man who looks like a student.

Meng Qian shook his head, but when he saw this person clearly, he became even more dazed
