"What should a simple Chinese person look like? We don't need to look particularly handsome and beautiful for this kind of stage, and it's not a beauty pageant? The face only needs to show the characteristics of the Chinese people, and by the way, the eyes have to be designed to be big One thing is to have big, piercing eyes!"

"Meow……"

"The other thing is the program arrangement. What kind of program do you think would be good? It's a pity that in such a short period of time, the laboratory can only produce ten or eight sets. It will be very difficult to do it. The momentum will not build up! "

"Meow……"

"March, come up with a show! According to your calculations, we should be able to complete at most twelve sets of brick-moving suits. How can twelve people perform at a large venue to make this show meet the grand temperament of the Olympics?"

"Meow……"

"Don't just meow. Didn't I show you the preliminary plan for the artistic performance of the Olympic opening ceremony? You can find a way to use these resources to complete the program, and then integrate it with their artistic performance."

"Meow……"

"Honestly, March, don't you have any artistic qualities in you?"

"Meow……"

…

Sure enough, people are not omnipotent.

Even though he was very ambitious when he made the decision, when it came to designing a program, he was completely blind.

The simulation in front of the computer seems to be a bit uninteresting no matter how designed it is.

The issue of image design is quite simple. In March, through countless Asian faces in the comprehensive database, according to Ning Wei's requirements, he can design more than ten faces that are different and that match the facial features of Chinese people.

But designing a program for these people without colliding with other programs that have already appeared is really beyond March's capabilities. This level of difficulty probably surpassed that of Ning Wei letting March review the paper.

As a result, one person and one cat began to look at each other innocently.

When Ning Wei called Chen Wenwen yesterday, he was really confident.

Although he said on the phone that it would take two days to design the program, he actually felt that based on his and Yue Yue's abilities, as long as Liu Wei had no problems, half a day should be enough.

But now Ning Wei found out that he was wrong.

This was also an unprecedented experience for him. His head was empty all morning, completely opposite to when he was studying knowledge... Even when he was reading the most boring mathematics paper, all kinds of illusions could appear in his head simultaneously. space with countless lines and curves, but when thinking about how to use these real people armed with brick-moving projects to design a program that can show product performance, no picture flashed in my mind at all...

What's even more annoying is this cat...

Except for the "meow" response, he did not give him any feasible suggestions. This even gave Ning Wei the urge to write another paper "On the Summary of Solutions for Artificial Intelligence Suddenly Becoming Artificial Mental Retardation."

Finally, after one person and one cat stared at each other silently for a minute, Ning Wei decided to change his expression.

"In March, the current situation is like this. As you know, the Olympic cultural performances are broadcast globally. Although we don't care about it, it is said that it can affect more than 50% of the world's population. In other words, it may affect 30% of the world's population. More than 100 million people will go to see this opening ceremony. But now, we are facing a very serious problem, we have to let others know that we have such a thing, which can benefit brick-moving brothers all over the world."

"So you have to think of a way to show it to let everyone know that it will be very easy to move bricks in China in the future. In addition, this program is shown to the whole world, and it is on a special stage like the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, so it is best to also In line with the Olympic spirit of higher, stronger and faster, as the opening ceremony of the world's largest competition, in addition to reflecting our own characteristics, it must also be a little bit global."

"In other words, people who have grown up under the influence of other cultures in the world can also understand what we want to express. For example, Chinese people's expressions are generally more implicit, which means that others need to think more to understand the true meaning of the expression, but In this situation, there is no need to let others guess, especially when many people abroad are not well educated, we just need to let them shout 'OH, MY GOD!' It is enough."

"Besides, you also know the current situation. The other party thinks that our conditions are too excessive, and they are still trying to take advantage. It is best to let them know that they want to take advantage of us. If not, we can give whatever we are willing to give. We If they don't want to give it to them, they shouldn't want it either. Do you have any ideas now?"

This is a simplified way to communicate with machines.

It's almost like adjusting parameters. Various limiting conditions are given, and then the machine designs a plan within the framework of these conditions. In addition to greatly saving computing power, it also allows artificial intelligence to better understand the needs of the owner. What and how should it be designed to meet the owner's requirements.

"Meow……"

Ning Wei suddenly felt very relieved, because this time the kitten finally responded, and the mouse started to circle, which meant that the background was being prepared. Ning Wei waited patiently, and soon the kitten pulled out an animation frame, and then started playing it in real time... …

The background is obviously a virtualized bird's nest, and then a monkey suddenly falls from the sky...

Before Ning Wei could recover from the shock of the monkey in the opening scene, Hot Wheels appeared...

The battle between sticks and spears started at this moment, and then a big fat man appeared holding a nine-tooth nail rake. On the opposite side, a three-eyed god with a dog joined the battle, and then a monk with a big rosary joined. …

At this moment, the three-on-three fight in the animation was extremely lively, with all kinds of difficult and dazzling moves taking place one after another. They fought like this for several minutes without deciding the outcome. Suddenly they found someone watching from the sidelines...

Well, even if Ning Wei hasn’t watched a few blockbusters, he can still recognize that it’s the look of Spider-Man in Marvel…

Several people paused the fight and turned to look at the guy floating in the sky. Sensing something was wrong, Spider-Man wanted to run away. Unexpectedly, the monkey's stick hit him directly. At this time, a shield caught the stick, and the captain appeared, followed by There are exaggerated Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, Superman wearing underwear and Thor with a hammer...

The moment they saw these reinforcements, the people who had been fighting fiercely united in an instant. In the fast-moving scene, the monkey led the fat man, the monk, the hot wheel, the three-eyed dog, and the dog. They quickly took advantage and defeated the previous ones. Several superheroes led by Shield were beaten to pieces...

The shield was broken; the hammer was broken; the giant was punctured...

How to put it this way, the animation itself is still very beautiful and quite comfortable to watch. If you don't pay attention to the various copyright disputes behind it, it is a bit interesting.

But as a program for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, it is absolutely impossible for this to be approved.

Finally, the animation disappeared, and the kitten appeared in front of Ning Wei again, calling out expectantly: "Meow..."

Their eyes met again, and then...

Ning Wei gave up and decided that he would never get involved in areas he was not good at, such as rehearsing a show.

But in order to encourage the kitten that was still looking at him, Ning Wei still said: "Well, the idea of ​​the animation is quite good, it's good, but it's not suitable for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Forget it, let's let it go Let the professionals make the decision, and you can go do other things first.”

As he spoke, Ning Wei showed a complimenting smile to the camera.

"Meow..." March yelled, then turned around and ran away...

It can also be seen from the last exit animation that this morning it was difficult to tolerate the virtual cat, and Ning was tortured very miserably.

It's finally quiet now, and everything is fine except that the problem has not been solved.

After thinking about it, Ning Wei finally decided to give in and leave the professional matters to professionals, so he called Chen Wenwen...

"Hello, Director Chen."

"Academician Ning, I finally received your call. Did you say that the program is finished?"

"This...um...actually it's almost done, but some details haven't been finalized yet. I think I still have to ask you for help...That's it. Didn't you say before that you hoped that this opening ceremony would have a sense of technology? It just so happens that we There is a project in my laboratory that can be used in the opening ceremony. The general situation is like this..."

In this way, Ning Wei repeated the general situation of the brick-moving project, the requirements he had just raised to March, and his own thoughts to Chen Wenwen on the phone, and then said: "Do you understand what I mean? Now all that's left is the last few details. How do you think you can make good use of this group of people to intersperse them throughout the opening ceremony? I'm not very good at this, so you should be responsible for the overall planning."

He spoke eloquently for nearly five minutes without saying a word. Until Ning Wei finished speaking, the other end of the phone obviously hesitated for a moment before asking: "Um, Academician Ning, let me figure it out... What do you mean, Can you provide about a dozen Iron Men for our opening ceremony?”

Ning Wei quickly explained: "It's not Iron Man, it's just a human being who puts on an exoskeleton armor and then puts on a layer of electrosensory skin. Basically, he still looks like a normal person, but he will look taller. After adapting to this suit, After the electric-driven exoskeleton device, they can achieve some results that even the world's top athletes cannot reach, and can also complete many more difficult actions. However, our promotion focus still hopes to be on that layer of electric-sensitive skin."

"Just as many technology companies have promoted their Metaverse in the past, the Metaverse in the future will not only deceive everyone's perspective, but also deceive everyone's five senses. Our set of electro-sensing skin allows the experiencer to experience it without touching the skin. It can have a sense of touch, can almost perfectly feel temperature, humidity, and pressure through electrical signals, and can even distinguish between rough and delicate, and supports remote signal transmission and post-simulation.”

There was silence on the other side again for a long time, until Ning Wei was about to remind the director, the voice finally came from the receiver: "This, Academician Ning, to be honest, I am a director. I don't quite understand what you are describing. I take the liberty to ask. In a sentence, is this technology classified? If not, can you take me to take a look? It can give me a more intuitive understanding of what you are saying, such as what a person's image looks like after putting this thing on. ? What about dexterity? This way I can arrange it easily."

"You said it's electrically sensitive to the skin?"

"No, no, I'm talking about this set. It's best to have someone put on the exoskeleton armor you mentioned in terms of appearance and action."

"Oh... this laboratory does have video records and ready-made products, but it is really not convenient for external transmission. How about I take you to the laboratory to have a look?"

"A laboratory in the capital?"

"Well, it's in Beijing, our cutting-edge artificial intelligence research center."

"Okay, give me the address and I'll rush there now."

"Well... you may not be able to go there alone. Why don't you go to Yanbei University first and I'll take you there with me."

"Okay, I'll be there in about an hour."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you!"

After hanging up the phone, Ning Wei let out a sigh of relief. This burden was finally thrown away... It's good!

…

Yanbei University, Zhihua Building, Student Discussion Center.

Ningshe is having an important meeting.

The child really listened to Ning Wei's conversation with Chen Diancheng.

After the trip to the Future City, I returned to school and exchanged ideas with the key members of Ningshe several times before convening this meeting of all members of Ningshe.

In fact, as a student club, Ningshe rarely gathers everyone together. Most of the time, various project groups within the club hold small-scale meetings. After all, everyone is very busy if they can become the best in this school. Not only are we busy with schoolwork, but there are also various competitions, lectures, extracurricular research groups, etc. that involve too much energy from everyone.

Therefore, it is not easy to gather everyone together. Fortunately, Ningshe's appeal is there. If there is something really important and everyone needs to attend the meeting, basically no one will be absent.

It was the same today. When the meeting officially started, all 182 members of Yanbei University Ningshe signed in.

"Okay, let me announce that the meeting has officially begun. Our Ningshe style is to talk about things when they have something to say, so I won't say any more polite words. I'm calling everyone here mainly to inform you of a piece of news. After the Ningshe Organization Department After detailed discussions, we officially decided that Ningshe will start to go beyond Yanbei University and organize and establish Ningshe branches in major universities in China and even around the world."

"These days, we have actually discussed some methods of publicity and organization, but the plans are not satisfactory. Therefore, the most important topic of this conference is how to make Ningshe take the leap to Yanbei University. I hope everyone can speak freely and have some ideas. You can express any idea. If it is finally adopted, brothers and sisters of Ningshe, the next project you propose will directly pass the review and receive support from Ningshe’s own funds."

"By the way, the most important thing is that this time Ningshe can get the full support of our tutor, Academician Ning Wei, when he leaves school. In other words, we can use the name of Director Ning to promote it. Everyone can work towards this Give me some direction."
