Cultivate a black technology god

Chapter 99 Renting Chernobyl

On the north side of the Jinling River, it is close to Yanziji, facing Damo Cave across the river.

Zhixia University of Science and Technology will stand on this land.

At the groundbreaking ceremony before the start of construction, Xia Zhi attended as the CEO of Zhixia Technology and the honorary principal of Zhixia University of Science and Technology, accompanied by Ge Kairong, the principal, and Pang Jizhang, the only dean of the military academy among the three academies that was confirmed in advance.

After the speech, a simple celebration ceremony was held, and then the work started.

It is expected that the first batch of students will be admitted in the next year.

In terms of planning, the School of Computer Science and the Institute of Physics opened relatively early, and they will be able to open up the recruitment of researchers next year.

Xia Zhi asked Sun Shiliang to draw up an invitation letter, invite Professor Tiya in advance, and tell her that Zhixia University of Science and Technology has purchased the physical equipment of the specifications she needs.

After temporarily handling the school affairs, Xia Zhi returned to the company and received a bunch of complaints from the technology sharing community.

According to Charlie, the community leader, since the reduction in the number of points issued has caused dissatisfaction among many scoring teams.

Xia Zhi checked the development progress of the data analysis and processing module on the community, as well as several submission records of the system's recent certification. He shook his head:
"It would be nice to give this kind of rubbish code a few points."

Since Xia Zhi completed the system tasks and got the data analysis and processing algorithm black technology provided by the system, he has dismissed the algorithms collectively developed by the community.

It's not that he's gone.

There is indeed a world of difference in quality between the two.

Xia Zhi asked Charlie to respond positively to the controversy:
"It's their code that isn't written well enough."

Charlie is a little embarrassed:

"If you say that, isn't the anger of netizens getting hotter and hotter?"

Xia Zhi randomly called out an optimization algorithm and handed it to Charlie:

"I wrote it while lying in bed with insomnia, submit my copy to the system, and let them see what algorithm optimization is."

Charlie submitted Xia Zhi's algorithm, and the project's operating efficiency has been greatly improved.

Charlie's eyes lit up:
"According to our standards, Mr. Xia, you can get at least [-] points for this move."

Xia Zhi wanted to laugh:

I haven't come up with all the data analysis and processing algorithms yet.

It’s just the first stage of black technology processing algorithm.

Xia Zhi used this castrated version of the algorithm to elevate the community's data processing project modules to an insurmountable level.

Presumably, in the next few years, no netizen's code will be certified as optimized and valid.

Just stop the development task of this data processing module, and transfer the labor of netizens to other system tasks: operating system and game engine and so on.

Xia Zhi uploading this code to the community is equivalent to open source, and users all over the world can view and download it.

However, it cannot be used commercially due to copyright issues.

Under Xia Zhi's instruction, the right to use the data analysis and processing algorithms in the community is also placed in the sharing technology section of points exchange.

The price is [-] points.

Now, netizens have the motivation to work hard again.

Xia Zhi glanced at the system panel:
[Task in progress: Autonomous driving algorithm - sensing and planning decision-making. 】

[Development time: 7 days]

[Energy input: 648 points]

[Investment funds: 6487 points]

[External assistance: 15467 points]

[Total mission points: 30 points]

[Note: The minimum points required to enable system assistance: 100 task points. 】

This is the third-stage task activated after the second-stage task 'data processing and analysis' of the autonomous driving algorithm is completed.

Because of the reward for completing the settlement of the previous task, there are 30 total task points at the beginning.

Xia Zhi analyzed it, from the first stage of 'image recognition' to the second stage of 'data processing and analysis', to the current 'sensing and planning decision-making'.

It should have come to an end.

After completing this third phase of the task, the system’s autonomous driving algorithm will be freshly released!

Although the third stage is also an algorithm at the software level, it already has interaction with the hardware.

The task of 'sensing' is this process.

That is to say, if Xia Zhi wants to master this third-stage task, he must not only do the algorithm, but also the hardware part.

And the hardware has to come first.

Because the data transmitted by the hardware can be used as the basis for subsequent decision-making and planning.

Xia Zhi thought about it before, and asked Sun Shiliang to help him find a suitable domestic car manufacturer for self-driving cars.

It is best to self-develop, with clear shares.

In June when the weather turned hot, Zhixia Technology announced that it had reached a strategic cooperation with the automobile manufacturer Yongjia. Yongjia will provide automotive hardware to escort Zhixia Technology to test the automatic driving algorithm.

The cooperation does not involve share transactions, and it is entirely in the form of a purchaser and a provider.

According to the agreement, all the hardware needed by Zhixia Technology to test autonomous driving will be purchased from Yongjia. Yongjia will provide Zhixia Technology with a special supply channel, giving priority to Zhixia Technology's consumption, and there will be a big discount.

The self-driving algorithm developed by Future Zhixia Technology has nothing to do with Yongjia.

Even so, once the news was released, the shares of Yongjia manufacturers have soared for several months.

The price of a single share has risen from more than 200 yuan to more than [-], which is close to Tesla, the major manufacturer of autonomous driving and electric cars.

Some people are advancing, while others are waiting and watching.

In the final analysis, Zhixia Technology is only testing autonomous driving and is still far from developing autonomous driving.

It is obviously inflated to drive the stock price of a little-known small factory to such an extent.

When this layer of bubble bursts, a large wave of leeks will be cut.

All kinds of analysis and discussion are rampant.

To this, Xia Zhi didn't respond at all.

He previously spent [-] million yuan to buy shares in Yongjia manufacturers to help them expand their production lines, and now it has reached a market value of nearly [-] billion yuan.

The last time there was such a big commotion in the investment world, it was Musk’s announcement that Bitcoin can buy Tesla cars. With this move, his net worth skyrocketed to tens of billions of dollars.

Xia Zhifu plans to use the money to build his own car brand in the future.

According to his idea, even Xiaomi has started building cars, and Zhixia Technology cannot make sense if it does not build rocket ships.

But it should be done after autonomous driving and its own mobile operating system platform are mature.

There are too many fields that Zhixia Technology can do now, and you can't eat too much.

According to Xia Zhi’s philosophy: the road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.

After the automotive hardware is solved, the test site must also be selected.

Under Sun Shiliang's research, Xia Zhi was given many choices.

There are remote cities with vast land and sparse population, and there are also Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

The main road test locations of the three major domestic autonomous driving brands are all in BJ.

Xia Zhi was unwilling to choose the address in BJ, and he was unwilling to set it in Jinling.

Because according to his plan of earning system points, there will definitely be many problems in the next road test.

Considering that remote cities with vast land and sparse population are not as easy to collect as big cities.

Finally, at Sun Shiliang's suggestion, Xia Zhijian took a different approach and planned to conduct self-driving road tests at Chernobyl in Ukraine under the rule of the former Soviet Union.

It is the Chernobyl that has become a dead city because of the nuclear leak in the 80s of the last century.

Xia Zhi's plan is to sign a lease agreement with the local government and lease a part of Chernobyl for half a year as a road test site for autonomous driving.

Xia Zhi handed over this matter to Sun Shiliang.
