Cultivate a black technology god

Chapter 71

At the end of March of the New Year, the data compression algorithm competition held by Zhixia Technology came to an end and awards began.

The location of the awards was specially chosen to be the Zhixia Technology Underwater Paradise, which has just completed trial operation.

Unsurprisingly, the grand prize is Professor Tia.

The awards are set according to Xia Zhi's previous plan. Because the algorithm is too good, Professor Tia monopolizes the 3000 million prize pool.

Zhixia Technology will make up 1000 million points to the rest of the winners.

It is a pity that Professor Tia, who won the award alone this time, did not attend the award ceremony.

However, Xia Zhi prepared a live broadcast channel for Professor Tia.

Professor Tia used the live broadcast function of the Zhiran video platform to meet the audience at the award ceremony and deliver the award speech.

After the equipment was successfully debugged, the figure of Professor Tia appeared on the screen in the hall of the Undersea Paradise.

She was wearing a gray sweater with a bottoming shirt inside, her face turned to the sky, looking very plain.

The background can be seen as her laboratory.

Audiences who are not at the scene can also watch the awards ceremony of Zhixia Technology through the Zhiran video platform.

She looked at the camera, smiled and said:

"Hello everyone, I am the winner of this special prize, Zhuang Xu. I also have an English name, Tia Minina Russell. I work at Caltech. I am also in California now. Because I am busy, so I didn’t attend the scene, but I’m here to say hello to everyone, hi.”

Xia Zhi was very surprised because Professor Tia spoke Chinese this time.

At some point, Professor Tia became fluent in Chinese.

Maybe she trained a little while waiting for her meal every day.

"Mr. Xia Zhi of Zhixia Technology is my friend, oh no, it is suspected of being an insider, of course not."

The audience was amused by the lovely Professor Tia.

Professor Tia's algorithm has been open-sourced, which has set off a research boom in the scientific and technological circles. There is even an algorithm branch dedicated to the study of Professor Tia's algorithm, called the Tia compression algorithm.

Is there something shady about such an algorithm winning the grand prize?
People who know a little bit of technology dare not question it.

"At first I didn't expect to participate in the competition, but later I found out that the bill was not paid. This may be because I adopted a penguin Huahua in the Penguin Pavilion before. As for why I adopted a penguin, I think driving every day emits exhaust. For the penguins who gradually lost their homes , I have to take some responsibility. In short, I need to make money, I told myself when I was eating a burger, if I don’t make money, I won’t be able to eat enough.”

"Later, there was the current algorithm. No matter what the outside world calls it, I call this algorithm the Hamburg algorithm. Of course, it can also be called the Penguin algorithm."

The audience at the scene smiled knowingly.

Who said that people engaged in scientific research are rigid?
Professor Tia is a talk show contestant who is completely delayed by scientific research.

Some viewers found that Professor Tia in the live video was too clear, and even the freckles on Professor Tia's face could be seen.

At first they only thought of Professor Tia's informality, but later they realized that the clarity of this video is really high.

Not only is the definition high, but there is no lag at all during the live video broadcast, which is extremely smooth.

The live broadcast of the award speech has also become a technical show of Zhixia Technology.

But the audience didn't expect that the real show was behind.

After the awards ceremony, the live video footage was brought to the viewing angle of the underwater park.

Through the screen, the audience can see the deep-sea creatures in the underwater paradise.

The picture is so realistic that it feels like being there.

This is not over yet, the end of the live broadcast is the press conference of Zhixia Technology.

CEO Xia Zhi came to the scene in person and announced to the outside world the product layout of Zhixia Technology in the next stage:

"The parent company Zhixia Technology is still committed to the research and development of innovative technologies, such as autonomous driving algorithms. I believe it will not be long before Zhixia Technology will be able to launch a mature autonomous driving algorithm."

Having said that, the barrage of the live broadcast ushered in a small climax.

Some people support Zhixia Technology, while others are questioning it.

Because there are too many companies marketing self-driving algorithms, they either get into car accidents or are officially removed from the title of self-driving.

After all, the technology of autonomous driving algorithm is too difficult.

Someone said in the barrage that it is much harder than teaching a dog to drive.

Xia Zhi couldn't see the barrage, and he would ignore it when he saw the barrage. He continued to say:
“At present, Zhiran Platform, a subsidiary of Zhixia Technology, is doing pretty well.”

In the barrage, someone used 'Summer Versailles' again.

Zhiran platform is not only doing well?

It took a year to create a valuation of tens of billions of dollars, and the momentum of development is strong.

Because of the high technical barrier, no company in the market can compete with Zhiran platform.

It can be said that with the exclusive data compression algorithm, Zhiran platform has become a streaming media unicorn enterprise.

Xia Zhi didn't look smart. In his opinion, the Zhiran platform was really just the beginning.

He told the audience:

"Next, Zhiran Platform will continue to dig deeper into the entertainment sector. What I can disclose is that at this stage, Mr. Liu is organizing a team to do animation and games."

"In addition to self-developed projects, we will continue to purchase excellent film and television copyrights, and invest in the development of domestic excellent film and television, strive to become the Chinese version of Netflix, and complete what 360 film and television failed to do."

"In the future, Zhiran Film and Television will do what 360 Film and Television can't do. Film and TV that Netflix can't make will be made by Zhiran Platform. In a word, streaming media and Zhiran Platform must be the best."

Barrages were flying all over the sky, with praises and insults, because there were too many, Xia Zhi's face was covered on the screen, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

At the end of the press conference, the reporters present asked questions.

A bald man first stood up and asked:
"Hello Mr. Xia, we can see that the way Zhiran video platform is taking is completely imitating station b, whether it is the video creation and sharing mode, or the games, animation and live broadcast sections that will be developed in the future, it is too similar to station b. About In this regard, won't Mr. Xia worry about being criticized for following suit or even plagiarizing?"

Xia Zhi responded with a smile:

"Bilibili's game animation is to make money through the realization of traffic. We do game animation because Zhixia Technology has the best related technology in the world. It is a bit biased to say that it is plagiarism. It is better to say that Zhixia Technology is the most proud and good at the field of station b. , challenge it, challenge its position.”

The bullet screen is brushed up:

"If you say that about Station B again, uncle, I will be angry! The dog's head will save his life."

"The newly promoted king, who is not convinced?"

"The audience of the broken game at station b is too small, and it can't be ranked in the industry at all. If you have the ability to clamor for Tencent, I will convince you to take Tencent down in the game field."

"It's a good thing that more and more domestic companies are doing animation and games."

Another female reporter stood up and asked:

"Hello Mr. Xia, I want to ask what is going on with this underwater paradise? I always feel that Zhixia, a technology company, is building an underwater paradise."

Xia Zhi looked around and said:
"Don't you think the development conference here is particularly artistic?"

Regardless of whether Xia Zhi is serious or joking, the audience will smile heartily.

In the huge inverted bowl-shaped hall, you can see floating objects on the seabed beyond a wall, as well as dolphins and even sharks. The artistic conception is perfect.

Xia Zhi smiled:
"Will it be against peace for a technology company to build an underwater paradise?"

As if asking and answering himself, Xia Zhi paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled slyly:
"So what?"

He pressed the button on the remote control in his hand, and the vibrant marine ecology outside the wall suddenly stopped.

The still picture remained for three seconds, and it turned into a dead and deserted underwater world.

Only then did everyone realize that the sea creatures they saw just now were all simulated special effects on the screen.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding walls switched to the window screen of this live broadcast.

There are a few sentences mixed in the question mark barrage all over the wall:
"Damn it! I was shown by Zhixia Technology Show again."
