247 The Plan to Kill Chickens and Monkeys

They added WeChat to each other and left their numbers. On the way back to the office, Ning Wei chatted with Liu Wei naturally.

"Xiao Liu, what year are you from?"

"Dr. Ning, I was born in 97."

"Oh, that's Brother Liu, you're actually one year older than me, um, so aren't you particularly good?"

"Which... Dr. Ning refers to?"

"Don't be Dr. Ning, just call me Xiao Ning. Of course I mean Kung Fu, you understand?"

"I'm really not very good at kung fu. If you're talking about melee combat, what effect will I have on how hard I hit the vulnerable parts of the human body? How to make the opponent lose combat power quickly is still a lot of research, such as Ears, neck, hypothalamus, ribs, between thoracic and sacral vertebrae, and crotch.”

This is very interesting, Ning Wei asked with great interest: "And then?"

Liu Wei thought for a while, and then replied sincerely: "But this kind of general situation will not happen, after all, my main job is just to be a driver."

"Oh, let's not mention the driver, according to what you just said, does it mean that you can fight more than a dozen?" Ning Wei asked curiously.

Liu Wei replied honestly: "A dozen? This depends on the specific situation. For example, who is the opponent, whether they have undergone special training, whether they have weapons, and whether the geographical environment is suitable for them to play. But this situation is definitely not It will happen, at least not in Huaxia, the colleagues in the intelligence department are still very strong. Even if this happens, it is more convenient to use thermal weapons, my marksmanship is very accurate."

Ning Wei nodded thoughtfully, and continued to ask curiously: "Then, who is more accurate between your marksmanship and the Olympic shooting champion?"

"This is really incomparable, it's not the same training mode at all. Olympic training is a special firearm, purely for the pursuit of accuracy, the recoil is very small, and the competition is mainly static target or uniform moving target, the most difficult flying saucer target , there is also a fixed movement law to follow. If it is put into actual combat exercises, there are very few static targets, and most of them are also irregular movements." Liu Wei said very pertinently.

"Then how are your driving levels divided?" Ning Weishizhen became a curious baby and kept asking.

"How to put it this way, in fact, it means that the eyesight is quicker than ordinary people, the control over the vehicle is stronger, the concentration is stronger than ordinary people, the sensitivity to threats is higher, and it is better to know how to guarantee the maximum extent under extreme conditions. The stability of the vehicle and the safety of the passengers. Of course, to ensure the greatest degree of safety, it mainly depends on the brothers in the intelligence department. I just may behave better than ordinary people when encountering emergencies." Liu Wei Said humbly.

"Oh!" Ning Wei nodded and said in admiration, "That's already very strong."

"No, no, compared to Dr. Ning, I can only do some rough work." Liu Wei replied.

"Humble, too modest. By the way, Brother Liu, you know, I have a girlfriend."

"Dr. Ning, don't worry, we have strict confidentiality discipline. Any details about your private life are up to me."

"Oh!"

Ning Weiran nodded, looked at the office that was about to arrive, paused, and asked seriously: "Brother Liu, then you said that your boss arranged you and the team behind you by my side, Is it expressing an attitude? It means encouraging me to do something boldly without fear of offending anyone. Because there must be someone to help me out?"

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect this question, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "I really don't know about this, I can only guarantee that as long as I am by your side, the first priority will always be to ensure your safety, unless I sacrificed."

Ning Wei replied confidently: "Look, this is the problem. Brother Liu, do you know how mathematicians think about problems? Every event has its potential logic chain, and it points to a or A couple of specific results. So don't doubt my judgment, that's it. We should be confident."

"This one……"

"Okay, I still have some things to discuss with President Yan of Huawei. I guess Professor Lu will come to help you arrange a place later. Our Director Tian likes to go to Professor Lu directly for matters related to me. Lu Dongyi You should know, right? My senior brother, he is very strong, and he has almost no shortcomings except that he is too low-key."

Ning Wei babbled, then moved his steps and walked to the door of his office.

"By the way, the research center is very safe. You can wander around casually. I usually go home at night."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ning, don't worry about me, I will show up when needed."

"Okay, you wait first."

"it is good!"

……

Without any accidents, when he walked into his office, he saw Lu Dongyi chatting with Yan Ming, which made him admire Yan Ming. Under normal circumstances, if he was not conducting academic discussions, in fact, when he faced Senior Brother Lu, he would look for him. There is no topic.

So, Ning Wei asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

"Haha, let's talk to Professor Lu about the difficulty of turning mathematics into communication applications. I also often communicate with our technicians, so that I can fight in front of Professor Lu." Yan Ming replied with a smile.

"Oh!" Ning Wei nodded, calming down.

"You should discuss business matters with Mr. Yan, where is that Mr. Liu?" Lu Dongyi stood up.

"It should still be outside." Ning Wei pointed to the door.

"Okay, Mr. Yan, we have a chance to chat." After nodding to Yan Ming, Lu Dongyi walked out of Ningwei's office.

Watching Lu Dongyi walk out of the office, Ning Wei sat down in front of Yan Ming, and then said seriously: "President Yan, there is no need to be polite between us, I will directly connect you with a request, you can see Can't do it, how?"

"no problem."

Yan Ming replied straightforwardly: "However, the agreement that should be signed still needs to be signed. Do you have a dedicated person here to do this?"

Speaking of this question, Ning Wei felt a headache for a while, and then deeply felt what it means to be happy for a while, and when he really wants to do things, there is no one around him, so he shook his head decisively: "No, what's so good about Mr. Yan? suggestion?"

"Ahem, Yanbei University's Law School and Guanghua School of Management are both very strong." Yan Ming said with a smile.

"Huh?" Ning Wei thought for a while and said, "It's a way. I'll talk to Director Tian later, but before that, you can hurry up and prepare the contract."

"Don't wait until you have formed a good team, and then the two sides have a general consensus?" Yan Ming asked hesitantly.

"Don't use old thinking to think about the new world. That's what I think. I will talk to March about my thoughts. March will help me draw up the detailed regulations. After the contract is drawn up, you will send it directly Give me an electronic version, and I will ask Sanyue to review the contract you drafted first, and Director Tian should be able to help me find a good team at that time, just ask them to review it again." Ning Wei made a decision.

"President Ning means that our legal team may need to negotiate with the artificial intelligence you designed?" Yan Ming was stunned and confirmed.

"It's not bad. It's a brand new attempt. Maybe in March, we are asking Tian Dao to meet and form a team to talk. And it is good to talk to you for the first time. Neither of us will be too fussy. It is more suitable for three month's performance." Ning Wei gave a final opinion.

The purpose of March's design is to solve the problem.

In fact, in terms of understanding various legal provisions and interpreting rules, machines are actually more rigorous than humans.Especially in March, when reviewing the contract, it should be able to completely resolve the ambiguity in the sentence description, and this is done through a rigorous mathematical process, because there is no branch of ambiguity that will trigger an alarm for semantic recognition in March.

"Well, okay, tomorrow afternoon at the latest, our team will rush to the capital to discuss this cooperation, or is it here?" Yan Ming asked.

"Well, tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, I will borrow the conference room of our research center." Ning Wei replied.

"Okay! Then do it like this. By the way, there is another matter. I just called Mr. Ren to discuss it. Mr. Ning, do you think we can also invest one billion yuan in the March Artificial Intelligence Foundation? Let the foundation have more sufficient funds to ensure its continuous operation." Yan Ming said.

Ning Wei emphasized: "This foundation will not benefit in the future."

Yan Ming said indifferently: "Haha, not every investment is expected to have much profit. In fact, if the artificial intelligence center can really be transferred from Europe and the United States to here, it will be the biggest profit for us."

"If Huawei can think this way, then of course there is no problem. Let's do it this way. It happens that you can also supervise the financial issues of the foundation. By the way, when it comes to this matter, how much of your production capacity has been released? Use What is the current situation of the friends who have pirated the turbulence algorithm?" Ning Wei asked with great concern.

"The production capacity has indeed caught up, and some friends and businessmen have bypassed us to get big orders. The lawsuit is also in progress. Our legal team has submitted lawsuits to several countries, but the trial will take a long time, but We are already preparing to close the net in a while." Speaking of this topic, Yan Ming smiled unconsciously.

Before winning the turbulence algorithm, the company had just passed the most difficult period, but even now the company's b to c business is still greatly restricted.But after wielding an iron fist this time, he is confident that he will win a more relaxed environment for the company.No matter how bad it is, it can drag a large number of companies to hang up together.

However, Ning Wei shook his head, and said murderously: "We can't delay any longer, first choose a more influential one, blow it up, and kill chickens to scare monkeys!"

Yan Ming was stunned, looking at Ning Wei, he didn't quite understand what this young man was thinking.

Ning Wei explained seriously: "March has now been announced to the whole world. With so many eyes staring at me, God knows what tricks they will play. They have to let them know that I am not easy to mess with, so that they can calm down and prepare for the future. Platform construction clears obstacles. You have heard the suggestions of those people at the dinner today. Their thinking mode is very different from mine. They still hope to use capital to control platform construction and then gain the right to speak.”

"It is obviously impossible for me to agree to these. Although I don't touch business, I still advocate fair competition in the fields that everyone is good at, so I think it is necessary to make an example of others. Remind some influential companies not to stretch their hands too long .Now a lot of high-end laboratory instruments still rely on imports. You have to let everyone know that we have the confidence to buy and sell in order to buy enough time. "

After hearing this explanation, Yan Ming felt that he had nothing to say, which of course meant that the plan he had made before would have to be changed accordingly. Fortunately, it only took five seconds for him to decide to cooperate with Ning Wei's idea.

There is no other reason, and there is no need to wait for the platform tailor-made for March to bear fruit. Just March’s existing capabilities, if part of it can be used for the smart home solution that Huawei is promoting, can Make this series of products more competitive in the global market.

So after careful consideration for a while, Yan Ming replied: "If you want to have enough influence in the world, then choose Ericsson. They just won two big deals in Maple Leaf Country and North America. One of them is with Rogers." The contract was still snatched from us. The target amount reached 16 billion euros, which almost included protective upgrades for all communication equipment of Rogers. Now the project is about halfway through, and we originally planned to wait until these projects are fully completed And after delivery, they will be in trouble."

"Have you tested their equipment?" Ning Wei asked.

"Of course, we have samples of each batch of all their equipment for laboratory testing, and there are more than one. We can confirm that there are indeed bugs in the background of their product chips." Yan Ming nodded and confirmed.

"Then there's no problem! It's just his house. In fact, there is no need to wait until the project is fully completed. It is actually very sad and worrying to suddenly find problems in the middle of the project." Ning Wei nodded and said a word of comfort.

"Actually, this is not a big problem. The main reason is that although there are still several friends who have grabbed our orders, the project has not yet been fully rolled out. Our idea is to wait until Ericsson's project in Maple Leaf Country is completed, and other friends The merchant's project should be halfway through, and it will be easier to talk about it at that time..." Yan Ming explained.

"Well, well, what you gain is what you lose." Ning Wei was a little embarrassed.

"Yeah, I can only say that the change is a little faster than the plan, but it's not a big problem. After all, many friends have already signed the contract with Party A. If they can't complete the project on time due to their own reasons, the compensation They are usually very high, although it is a little regrettable, but it is enough for everyone to drink a pot. In short, you need our cooperation, Mr. Ning, just let us know." Yan Ming promised, patted his chest.

248 Dangerous?Danger!

The sudden exposure in March is still in the digesting stage for people all over the world. Regardless of how many high-tech company technicians suddenly become busy, and even hold meetings all night and work overtime, the impact on ordinary people is probably only a burst of information on the Internet Carnival, and have more expectations for the next technology products.

For example, on Huaxia's network, discussions are in full swing on the topic of whether artificial intelligence similar to March can be transplanted to its own smart devices.The video of this exhibition is also spreading fissilely at an extremely fast speed, especially for many young people, the performance shown in March at the exhibition is simply against the sky.

If you can transplant March to your mobile phone, doesn't it mean that you don't need to be troubled by those formulas that look at you, such as Taylor's formula, what kind of expansion is needed, just a casual command, you can make three The month is launched, it is definitely a good helper for learning.

Really, this is why Ning Wei didn't set a price for March at the exhibition, otherwise a bunch of March fans would probably buy this tsundere kitten.

Of course, these are just ordinary people's expectations of strong artificial intelligence.Because Ningwei didn't say at the exhibition whether such a virtual intelligent program can really be transplanted into ordinary electronic devices.

In reality, many ordinary people have not yet felt that the turbulence algorithm has already affected all aspects of the entire world.At most, it just feels that the Internet speed seems to be faster than before this year.

But in fact, for real network maintenance practitioners, they are more aware of the value of deploying turbulence algorithms this year.When 90.00% of the malicious crawlers in the world are eliminated, the DDOS attacks that were once invincible are basically restricted. Even if there are occasional attacks, the same attack intensity as before can only produce less than [-]% of the effect, which can be said to improve the security of the entire Internet. brought about earth-shaking changes.

For those large Internet companies, it is probably to reduce some expenditures on server security, but for many small companies that need to find their own living space on the Internet, this technology is really a life-saving straw.

In the past, the server was attacked by DDOS and caused network instability and was forced to upgrade the bandwidth or shut it down for a short time. But now after upgrading the DDOS attack denial of service, the situation of being threatened and attacked basically does not exist, which directly leads to the entire DDOS attack threat. The industrial chain began to collapse.

So when the entire Huaxia underwent a large-scale upgrade, the related black production naturally began to move to areas that had not been protected by the turbulence algorithm.From the network security reports released by major network security in 2022, it can be seen that 90.00% of the five malicious crawler software in China has disappeared. Although tickets for many popular trains on 12306 are still to be grabbed, it can already be guaranteed to be generally fair. This special air ticket has also begun to really benefit customers, which has also increased the enthusiasm of some small and medium-sized airlines to launch special air tickets.

At the same time, the malicious DDOS attacks against China's major websites have been reduced by more than 90.00%.Correspondingly, the risk of malicious crawler software and the threat of large-scale flood attacks faced by the third world and many western countries have shown a significant upward trend.This situation has directly forced network equipment with turbulence algorithm security chips to start selling abroad, and communication operators in various countries have begun to launch their own network equipment upgrade plans according to their own conditions.

Major foreign Internet companies have also begun to actively prepare their own user information security upgrade plans, and many have completed software upgrades.Under this general trend, Huawei, the only company that has officially authorized the turbulence algorithm at present, has indeed received orders from Huawei.

According to industry statistics, in the past 2022, Huawei has won 67 network equipment upgrade contracts from various countries in the first half of the year alone, and its market share has increased by at least 18 percentage points. Launched one after another, the growth rate has slowed down, but the world's number one sales position has stabilized.

In particular, some countries and regions that originally boycotted Huawei equipment have also begun to soften their knees silently.No way, information security has always been the top priority in the Internet age.In the past, China, as one of the most developed countries on the Internet, helped the world share too many cyber risks. Once the entire black industry began to transfer, no one could bear it.

The hot sales of new-generation routers, program-controlled switches and other network equipment have also driven the sales of Huawei's various optical signal transmission and receiving equipment.After all, Huawei is one of the companies in the world that can directly provide complete network solutions.

The pressure of reality has also forced a certain type of communication companies to speed up their pace. For example, Ericsson, which once relied on the policy of suppressing friends, also launched its own new generation of communication equipment with turbulent security protocols in the second half of the year.

In fact, the engineers of Ericsson are already very powerful.It took four months to study the core code of the turbulence algorithm, and it was still a huge project to study it under the premise of lacking manuals and interface files.This means that Ningwei is rigorous enough and high-quality when writing code. In many cases, functions can be deduced backwards through function naming, and there are detailed comments.

Even so, Ericsson's entire engineering department is almost fully mobilized, and all technicians are working hard to figure out that piece of code.Indeed, Sweden is a high-welfare country, and Ericsson engineers rarely have the opportunity to enjoy overtime. However, in the past, many engineers have chosen to work overtime under the temptation of a sense of mission and heavy money. In addition, the team is also growing. with.

In the end, although the talks with Huawei collapsed at the negotiating table, they still launched their own new generation of products in October, and after showing their performance to customers, relying on the relationship within the alliance, they grabbed a lot of orders .

This also made Ericsson's current president, Ken Carter, relieved.

Although Huawei has been warning and has even filed a lawsuit against Ericsson in China and Sweden, what does that matter?Ken Carter has given instructions to the company's legal department. They are not prepared to win this relationship, and they only ask that the patent dispute can be dragged on for three to five years.As long as the market is preserved, the money allocated to Huawei in three to five years is probably equivalent to paying for patent licensing fees. Even if it may exceed a certain amount, it can be counted as interest.

After all, there is no need to pay patent licensing fees to the right holder within three to five years, and the money can be saved for personal use, which is worthwhile no matter what.Moreover, this kind of patent dispute between two major companies, according to the court's various rules of proof, it is not difficult to drag it on for three to five years.

However, Ken Carter, who felt that everything was finally back on track for the time being, had not had time to celebrate, and saw the March exhibition hosted by Ning Wei.

To be honest, after watching the show completely, Ken Carter was really shocked into a cold sweat.The market has just been saved, so what is going on?Although Ericsson is currently focusing on the field of communication equipment and systems, it does not invest much in the research and development of artificial intelligence, but it does not mean that artificial intelligence has no impact on the communication equipment industry.

For example, Ericsson has been making great efforts to build the Internet of Things connection and management platform. To maximize its role, it must take advantage of its network equipment to directly connect to each connected terminal.These terminals can be connected cars, but also machines, meters, sensors, point-of-sale terminals, and even consumer electronics and wearable products.

This requires all these terminals to open ports to their platforms in the future for resource integration and deployment.So here comes the problem. Now that it was exposed in March, when the three major intelligent platforms are built in the future to provide intelligent services for global terminals, if these standards are still in the hands of their already offended friends, how will they get this cup? soup?

Of course, they can also cooperate with some upstream and downstream friends to create a set of standards by themselves, but judging from the level of intelligence shown by March at the exhibition, it is obvious that it has far exceeded the level that he knows that the friends are currently researching.If you want to join in, what about the infringement of the turbulence algorithm now?It is impossible to give up the hard-won market. After all, the contract has been signed, not to mention that these orders directly support the company's performance in the past two years.

What is worrying is that March was created by Ningwei again.It is well known that Ning Wei is also the designer of the turbulence algorithm.In other words, Ericsson's current products actually violate the rights of this young scientist.

Just when he felt the trouble and pain of being in a dilemma, his cell phone rang, and Ken Carter connected directly.This is his very personal number. There are no more than [-] people in the world who have this number.

"Ken, long time no see."

"Robert, it hasn't been long. Let me think about it. Well, it's probably three months at most."

"Haha, three months has been a long time, these three months feel like a century has passed, tell me, you should have seen that exhibition, right?"

"Yes, Alger, it was a wonderful exhibition. I think many people didn't sleep well last night?" Ken Qatar replied casually while playing with the pen in his hand.

"Indeed, I really envy you. You only started working at this time. I barely slept all night yesterday. This news is amazing, but I have an even more amazing news here."

"Oh? What news?" Ken Carter asked with interest.

"The young scientist in Huaxia wanted to control the future intelligent platform by himself in a whimsical way. He didn't accept well-intentioned suggestions. He even directly rejected the construction and maintenance of an artificial intelligence-based platform by a group that can weigh. I I think you should understand what this means, you know? I feel fear, not purely technical or commercial fear, but worry about the future fate of human beings. I dare not imagine that if artificial intelligence is not controlled , in the not-too-distant future, maybe there will really be a Skynet trying to control everyone on this planet. Can you imagine? My God, this is probably Hawking's prophecy!"

Ken Carter almost laughed out loud at this.

The full name of the person who called him was Alger Robert, the founder of Graphcore.This is an artificial intelligence chip start-up company located in London, England. It is not well-known in the world at present, but you can get a general idea of ​​the value of this company just by looking at its investors. Among its investors are Dell, Microsoft, BMW and other world-renowned brands.

What made Ken Carter want to laugh was that this Alger Robert had expressed his displeasure with the phrase "don't continue to develop artificial intelligence" left by the master of physics Hawking before his death in many public occasions, and never All of them are extremely optimistic about the development of artificial intelligence in the future.

It is hard to believe that the founder of an artificial intelligence chip company said such a thing today.

"Yes, I agree with your opinion, but so what? Alger, can you build a product similar to what you saw at the exhibition?" Ken Carter said casually.

"Ken, my friend, of course I don't have that ability, but Mr. Lewis called me just now, maybe we can have another choice." Alger Robert said.

"Oh?!" Ken Cartel became focused. His casual attitude towards Alger Robert was because Graphcore was favored by many big companies, but after all it was just a start-up company with a valuation of less than 20 billion euros. Its development depends on the research and development capabilities of its team.At least now it is not at the same level as Ericsson.

But the Mr. Lewis mentioned by Alger is the president of Microsoft's European market, which can basically represent Microsoft's attitude.It's just that Microsoft's size is naturally worthy of Ken Cartel's attention.

After all, strength is everything.
