Cultivate a black technology god

Chapter 129 As expected of a black technology algorithm
The smart dispatch center in Sucheng has started construction and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

During this time, Zhixia Technology has begun to build equipment on the roads in Sucheng.

The first is City Satellite.

Zhixia Technology previously invested in a state-owned satellite company in Jinling and took a share, so it has a satellite data channel.

Then there is road monitoring. Zhixia Technology cooperates with the local police to install cameras in the blind spots of existing cameras, and replace old, damaged or unnetworked devices.

The collection of road data requires a lot of manpower and material resources, so Zhixia Technology contacted Baidu Maps.

Baidu Maps has already accumulated a large amount of data on urban roads.

Zhixia Technology wants to buy this part of Baidu’s data.

What Baidu means is to invest in this part of the data.

Xia Zhi laughed out loud when he heard the news:
"Is it possible to invest in urban road data? If I invest some money, the urban road data network can be filled in within a week."

Sun Shiliang, who was in charge of this matter, nodded:

"Yes, so let's do it ourselves. I have already selected a local remote sensing team. If they work overtime, one week is enough."

Xia Zhi is very satisfied with Sun Shiliang's efficiency.

Without his instructions, Sun Shiliang knew that while discussing cooperation with Baidu, he would look for other alternatives.

He finalized the plan, signed it, and allocated funds to collect data.

Two weeks later, all kinds of road data were collected and uploaded to the smart traffic dispatching platform built in the temporary office.

At this time, the back end of the platform has been connected to the city's camera network and connected to one hundred autonomous driving test vehicles in the city.

One hundred test vehicles began to send destination requests to the server.

The server side receives the request and feeds back to the test vehicle.

The test vehicle follows the instructions of the server and travels on urban roads.

There is also a camera device on the test vehicle, and when passing through each road intersection, the captured road conditions will be sent back to the server.

The server analyzes the data at the same time to determine whether there is any discrepancy with the information previously collected by road cameras.

All tests went well.

Local leaders organized a delegation to inspect the work.

Xia Zhi accompanied the leaders to visit the office and mentioned:
"The office here is a bit crowded. When the new building is completed, the office environment will be better."

The leader smiled and said:

"These meeting rooms can be regarded as being used to the best of their ability. I remember that those giants of your Internet all came out of the garage."

The technical staff answered and said:
"Yes, Microsoft, YouTube, and Apple were all developed from small workshops."

The leader asked again:
"Looking at your scale, will you be able to use such a large building in the future? I remember that the new building has five or six floors, right?"

He said and looked at the subordinates next to him.

The subordinate nodded:

“The dispatch center under construction is six stories high.”

Xia Zhi explained:
"Now we are testing and going through the smart dispatching process. There are not many urban roads and autonomous vehicles involved, so the business is not heavy. In the future, the roads will be complex, there will be many vehicles, and there will even be pedestrian users, and the business volume will explode. As the number increases, we need more equipment and more manpower."

The leader nodded, understanding what Xia Zhi meant.

The leader probably watched the demonstration for a while, pointed to the screen and said:

"That is to say, under the instructions of the dispatch center, the vehicle can find the most suitable route to the destination?"

Xia Zhi nodded.

The leader asked again:
"This is similar to the service provided by Baidu Maps. For example, I used it this morning. When I drove to the No. [-] Bridge, Baidu Maps reminded me not to turn left into Huichun Road. There was a traffic jam there. It recommended that I go straight and enter the outside. ring to avoid clogging.”

Xia Zhi smiled and said:

"Baidu is trying to do this kind of smart transportation, but it is not good enough. Our software has achieved the ultimate in smart transportation. Whether it is accuracy or real-time performance, it is not comparable to any software on the market today."

The leader paused at the corner of his mouth, nodded and said nothing more.

Xia Zhi sent the leader away, and then got busy with the refitting factory.

In addition to the smart dispatch center, the autopilot modification factory also started construction at the same time.

This factory is responsible for producing more than 30 kinds of hardware required for autonomous driving, adapting to various models. The scale of the factory is much larger than that of the command and dispatch center.

The total investment is also much larger.

I'm almost too busy here in Sucheng, and Xia Zhi is going back to Jinling.

The night before leaving, there was a small problem at the temporary smart dispatch center.

On the dispatching algorithm platform, improvements to traffic light settings and urban construction layout plans appeared.

That is to say, the algorithm gives the current traffic light settings in Suzhou City, as well as the unreasonableness of urban roads and building construction, as well as the optimization plan for road construction and road expansion in the later stage.

Everyone present at the office was dumbfounded.

This is too smart, right?
This algorithm can not only recommend the user's optimal route map based on the current situation of road traffic, but can also in turn optimize the current urban road traffic.

It is simply the big killer of the Construction Bureau.

The staff on the front line of the platform responsible for supervision reported the matter to government officials.

The leader called Xia Zhi again:
"I remember in the contract at that time, you didn't mention that the smart traffic algorithm had such a function?"

Xia Zhi also looked confused.

He didn't expect the black technology algorithm given by the system to be so powerful, and he didn't study it carefully.

The main reason is that he can't understand the details.

Many algorithmic logics rewarded by the system are black boxes. If you don’t test them, you won’t know what the effects will be.

This time something went wrong.

Although the algorithm is very powerful, it directly replaces the work of the Construction Bureau.

But this is obviously a case of a dog taking advantage of the mouse, and it is a substitute for others.

The construction bureau has hundreds of people, and the central government is directly under the municipal unit. Every municipal decision has been discussed and signed by the leaders.

Now this algorithm says that someone made a wrong decision, which is equivalent to a slap in the face.

Xia Zhi laughed dryly and said:
"There is a misunderstanding here. This algorithm was originally placed on the Chernobyl side. You may not know that Zhixia Technology has direct jurisdiction over Chernobyl, and we can make the final decision on all municipal services. I added such an optimization algorithm to it, and through the algorithm’s recommendation, we can optimize and adjust local municipal road facilities.”

The leader let out an oh and asked again:

"Is it working well?"

Xia Zhi made up nonsense, how could he know if the effect would be good or not.

But since it's an algorithm given by the system, it's absolutely fine.

He said confidently:

"good results."

The leader paused and said:

"Then you ask someone to organize these improvement measures into an application form. I will take the time to organize people to study it. If it is really effective, it will be implemented as soon as possible."

"Ah?" Xia Zhi was stunned.

He didn't expect the leader to be so talkative.

The leader laughed:

"Every citizen can put forward opinions and suggestions to relevant state departments and agencies through government affairs supervision and other channels, and participate in the discussion of politics."

Xia Zhi couldn't help giving a thumbs up, the government leaders in his hometown are too easy to talk to.
