Chapter 211 Wedding
What Chen Yuanguang saw and heard in the future time and space made him realize that in order to solve the current dilemma, he needed to have the same strength as Alpha in the future time and space.
No one in the future time and space could create a second Alpha, and Chen Yuanguang did not think he had the ability to do so.
Fortunately, the opponents in the real world are far inferior to the technological level of 200 years later, and with the help of future technology, he can still gain the same information asymmetry advantage as Alpha.
All of these are inseparable from one core, which is to create your own artificial intelligence.
"This ability obviously cannot be seen in public, and can only be developed abroad." Chen Yuanguang thought:
"Since assassinations using asymmetric information advantages can be used in America, it means it can be used in any country.
No country has the corresponding defense capabilities.
Therefore, if China knew that he had this ability, its first reaction would definitely be fear, or even trying to control him.
In my opinion, this approach is self-protection, but at the national level it is out of control.
So in order to avoid conflict between the two parties, the best way is for me not to have any connection with this matter in public."
Letting artificial intelligence manage a country is not just a consideration for causing trouble, but will also be a great attempt in modern society. Chen Yuanguang felt his blood boiling just thinking about it.
"AI?
This track is too competitive, with many companies claiming to be involved in artificial intelligence, from OpenAI, which has the loudest voice in recent years, to a number of technology giants, all of them are trying to get into this track. " Lin Jia's first reaction after hearing this.
Lin Jia has been stationed in Shenhai and Yanjing for many years. These two places are considered to be the financial centers of China. She has heard people from these financial institutions talk about artificial intelligence many times.
"When the domestic AI upstart Dark Side of the Moon was raising funds, the lead investor also came to ask me if we wanted to participate. I was not familiar with this field and the information I knew was superficial, so I refused."
Chen Yuanguang had never heard of the Dark Side of the Moon: "What kind of company is this?"
Lin Jia said: "In the past two years, a company that has suddenly emerged has also developed a large model similar to GPT. Because of its founder, it is highly regarded by the industry and has raised more than 10 billion US dollars in the capital market in just over a year.
Under the current circumstances, this financing scale is already astonishing.
It’s just that I think they are a bit similar to SenseTime and lack sufficient moat.
Tencent and Baidu are both working on GPT-like applications, but their advantages are limited.
In terms of application scenarios, most manufacturers that have demand for AI will consider self-development rather than purchasing services.
So I think its development prospects are limited. If we just want to raise money for the purpose of successfully listing it, it is not necessary for us.”
Lin Jia went on to say: “Before I made the decision, I talked to many investors in the market, and now all artificial intelligence applications are facing the same dilemma.
That is, the computing power and energy costs are too high, resulting in losses even if they charge users.
Like GitHub Copilot, which has 180 million paying users and is backed by Microsoft, their monthly fee is as high as $10, but they still have to pay $20 per user every month.
Focusing on the domestic market, domestic users' willingness to pay is much weaker than that of developed countries. There is still a lot of uncertainty in AI. I think it is a gamble to invest in all AI companies now.
So I ended up not voting for it.
Of course, it is possible that AI will have its own 'iPhone moment' someday and completely upend the industry.
But it is obviously more important for us to focus on our core business.”
Lin Jia has extremely high authority within the entire Guangjia system. Although she is not the president or CEO, she attends board meetings on behalf of Chen Yuanguang and helps Chen Yuanguang make business decisions.
It can be said that during Chen Yuanguang's time in Mianyang, he gave almost all of his power to Lin Jia.
Chen Yuanguang said: "It is precisely because artificial intelligence is so promising that so many companies are investing in it.
We also need to make arrangements in this regard.”
Artificial intelligence does not mean that you use your home computer to edit a program and then wait for it to grow into artificial intelligence. Instead, it requires giving it sufficient computing power, a large amount of data and suitable algorithms.
At present, Chen Yuanguang can solve the two problems of computing power and algorithms. The only problem is data. It is impossible to cultivate AI with a high enough intelligence by relying on public data.
"Isn't it too late for us to start now?" Lin Jia asked.
Chen Yuanguang has proven his strength in many fields, but artificial intelligence is a completely new track.
What Lin Jia didn't know was that all Chen Yuanguang needed was a shell to package the artificial intelligence he developed. In fact, what he made was not for commercial use at all.
Therefore, all he needs to do when entering the field of artificial intelligence is to be a little bit better than others. He does not need to make any great achievements, or even be better than others.
"I think this is also an attempt. We will have to go down this path sooner or later in the future. Space mining involves a large number of unmanned links. We are just starting relevant research in advance now," said Chen Yuanguang.
“The current algorithm team has done a good job and published many papers, but it is difficult for them to generate value for our core business. The work they have been doing is rather theoretical.
After we acquired the robotics company, we invested our algorithm team in robotics research and development, integrating artificial intelligence and robots.
With this adjustment, the current team needs to add some experts in this field.
Let’s find a headhunting company to help us recruit people and integrate and upgrade the algorithm team within Guangjia Aerospace.” Chen Yuanguang continued.
There are algorithm engineers and software developers within Guangjia Aerospace, because commercial spaceflight also requires a large number of systems, including flight control, phased array radar and other fields.
However, these tasks are not core enough. Phased array radar is considered the core business, but most of this business is done by the team of Academician Mao Ke, and Guangjia Aerospace is less involved.
Therefore, in the field of artificial intelligence, Guangjia Aerospace is more engaged in research work, publishing papers, participating in academic conferences, and tracking cutting-edge technologies.
Lin Jia obviously understood the current situation: “Okay.
I will start making arrangements when I get back.”
"Good afternoon, everyone. I will be the witness for Yuan Guang this time.
When I was the president of Jiangnan University, Yuanguang and Lin Jia were both my students. I was elected as an academician in 17, and Yuanguang was elected last year. From this perspective, Yuanguang and I are colleagues.
Yuanguang reached the destination that took me decades to reach in just a few years.
We are not only colleagues in the Academy of Sciences, I am now the director of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and Yuan Guang is the special adviser to the National Natural Science Foundation of China. We are also colleagues in the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
We have a deep connection, so I feel very honored this time. Both Yuan Guang and Lin Jia are outstanding young talents.
This time, the two of them tied the knot as a strong alliance, and it is also a two-way emotional journey.
I still remember the youthfulness of the two of them when they pulled me to take a photo at the university graduation ceremony. I also witnessed Yuan Guang’s outstanding contributions to the country and saw Lin Jia’s achievements as an entrepreneur.
Both of them have achieved great success in their careers, so I hope that they can have a happy life.
Finally, I wish you two a happy marriage."
Chen Yuanguang invited the president of Jiang University during his college years to be his witness. There were less than 30 people present, not even enough to fill the three tables.
When the witness was giving his testimony, Chen Yuanguang looked at Lin Jia and thought about all these years. He suddenly felt calm inside and thought that this was not bad.
Lin Jia was delighted, but the only regret was that he couldn't see the fireworks set off for them by the Qiantang River. He felt that perhaps life just needs a few regrets.
"Yuan Guang, do you have anything to say to Lin Jia?" asked Principal Dou.
Chen Yuanguang stared at Lin Jia blankly, and thought that she looked particularly beautiful with her light makeup on today. The past scenes replayed in his mind, "I just hope that we can support each other and walk through life hand in hand.
I don’t have any big ambitions. I have been pushed to where I am today by the tide of the times. My career has been full of ups and downs, so I hope my relationship can be stable.”
After saying this, Chen Yuanguang looked around. This was a medium-sized hotel in Mianyang. Apart from its sense of design, it had no other special features.
Chen Yuanguang noticed that although the entire hall was filled with tables, only three of them were occupied, making it seem particularly empty.
Chen's mother was already sitting closest to the audience, her eyes red. Chen Yuanguang thought that Chen's mother must have heard about her son's successful career and felt that her son's life was not easy.
He saw that his father looked absent-minded and guessed that he was probably thinking about where to go after the party.
“It seems that it is not easy to have a peaceful and calm relationship.
I still remember when I came to New York to find you, I took a flight for more than 40 hours. After I got off the plane, I saw you driving a Chevrolet to pick me up. Although I was in a foreign country at the time, seeing you gave me a feeling of being home.
It’s only been five years, but emotionally it feels like half a century. It’s been hard.”
Chen Yuanguang's words made Lin Jia burst into tears, "I should thank you, Yuanguang, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have so many opportunities.
When we are together, I get far more than I give.
The reason I chose you back then was because of an intuition that we were the most compatible.
Seven years have passed since we met. Just like you said, it feels like many years have passed. It seems ordinary, but we have experienced countless things. From Jiangcheng to New York, then to Shenhai and Pengcheng, I believe we will have more places to go in the future, and there will be more seven years. "
After hearing Chen Yuanguang's sincere speech, Lin Jia gave up the lines he had prepared and performed on the spot with tears in his eyes.
Lin Qinghua, who was in the audience, felt that both sides' speeches were heartfelt, but the only regret was that there were too few people who came and more people could not participate.
There are only 30 people, it’s not as good as when he got married.
Lin Qinghua thought of the American trickery that caused the grand wedding to be cancelled, and he couldn't help but feel angry. Then he thought of his son-in-law's achievements and the current situation, and could only sigh inwardly.
Li Xiyin was recording the video for them from the audience, and she felt envious as she listened to their speeches.
She thought about the suitors she had met during this period and compared them with Chen Yuanguang. Even the most impressive resumes seemed vulnerable, and she couldn't help feeling depressed.
After the wedding was over at noon that day, Director Zhao arrived with a bag in his hand and said, "Yuan Guang, this is the wedding gift that the boss prepared for you.
I know you don’t drink alcohol. This is persimmon wine from your hometown. It’s only 12 degrees, which is a very low alcohol content.
Then this is the wedding gift I prepared for you, it is also a specialty from my hometown.
I'm very sorry for being a little late. "
Chen Yuanguang took the gift and said, "It's okay, it's just a ceremony.
How are your actions in Hangzhou?"
Director Zhao shook his head repeatedly: "Just wait and see the news.
It's so cruel. Fortunately, we didn't carry out a fishing plan, but chose to catch these people in advance.
Their killer move is not in Hangzhou.
In Hangzhou, the most you can do is just a superficial plan. Whether it's a sniper or a mole, they're just there for you to catch.
It would be best if it succeeds, but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t.”
Chen Yuanguang asked: "Where is that?"
Director Zhao said: "One is the location transfer. If you continue to hold the wedding in Hangzhou, then if you choose to hold it at the InterContinental Hotel, there will be snipers waiting.
If you change hotels, internal leaks may cause someone to attack vehicles on the route they must take in advance.
The final killer move is in Yangcheng. When all the previous moves have failed, your return to Yangcheng to hold a return banquet will be their best chance to prepare.
The Federation smuggled a batch of rockets from Hong Kong to Guangzhou, intending to wipe out your territory with missiles.
There are three plans in total, one after another, and it is hard to guard against them.
Fortunately, we guessed that there was a traitor in advance, and with the help of the traitor, we were able to figure out all of their plans.
America has gone to great lengths to get rid of you."
After listening to this, Chen Yuanguang asked, "Has the traitor been caught?"
Director Zhao nodded and said, "We have caught some of them, but we are not sure if they have all been caught.
Their plan failed this time, so they probably have to stay quiet for a while.
But you can't let your guard down, you never know what other measures they might take if they get pushed into a corner."
Chen Yuanguang realized that the relationship between him and the Federation was indeed an irreconcilable one.
When I thought about not being able to give Lin Jia a perfect wedding, I couldn't help but feel upset.
After the wedding, Chen Yuanguang was talking to Director Zhao, while Lin Jia was accompanying her two best friends.
Li Xinyin asked: "Jia Jia, can you add some audio to this video and post it online? Netizens are very interested in your wedding.
It still appears on the hot searches from time to time.
A lot of wedding companies pretend on social media and say they can help you plan your wedding.
There are also many hotels that post some seemingly authentic videos online and claim that they are your wedding scenes.
I thought about posting an edited version and asking netizens to send their blessings? "
