Chapter 370: Limitations of the Times
If we talk about the cooperation with Dajiang, we have one more capable person.
So the cooperation with Hua Wei is a strong alliance.
With Hua Wei's support, Zhou Rui can be the hands-on shopkeeper in the field of communications. He is a communications boss who dominates the world.
Until the knee was shot with an arrow by the whole country of the United States.
After determining the basic cooperation policy, Furui Technology held a landing meeting and, together with its Shanghai headquarters, finalized many plans.
The first question is location.
The two choices at the moment are Shenzhen and Shanghai.
For mass production of drones, Dong Province’s supply chain is the most comprehensive and has cost advantages.
And more than a dozen people from Dajiang have worked here for several years, so they naturally feel more at ease in Shencheng.
But similarly, Zhou Rui cannot stay in Shenzhen for a long time. The most important core of this project is actually Zhou Rui himself.
Choose Shencheng, it will be close to everything, but far away from him.
It's hard to say whether it's an advantage or a disadvantage.
On the contrary, Hua Wei is very convenient. They have branches all over the country. They have a kind of calmness that I can do whatever you want.
Finally, Zhou Rui had a sincere talk with the people in Dajiang.
If possible, Zhou Rui still hopes that they can go to Shanghai, and the research and development department should be concentrated as much as possible to maximize the value of intelligence, while production can be "selected on the basis of excellence." At this stage, Eastern Province is the best, so use Eastern Province. It's not that it can't be replaced with something more suitable.
Anyway, when the military product line comes up, the supply chain will have to be significantly adjusted.
This suggestion is more of a psychological barrier for the people in Dajiang.
They are all technical houses that Wang Tao gathered together to work hard in Shenzhen. Wang Tao has not even bought a house, let alone them, which is not a big deal.
But when changing bosses and changing cities at the same time, I always feel that it is too much work and people's hearts are easily distracted.
However, the mysterious background of "Furui Technology" really calmed them down, giving them a sense of participation in "working together to achieve great things", which was a plus.
In addition, Zhou Rui promised to provide everyone with generous rental subsidies and a moving fee.
More than a dozen people from Dajiang gritted their teeth and agreed.
No one is missing, everyone comes to Shanghai!
After having a video conference with Zhou Rui, they found that Shanghai was full of beautiful ladies, with no connections at all!
We just want to dedicate our youth close to the headquarters!
After confirming this plan, Zhou Rui immediately contacted Deng Xiaonan and applied for a new office in Smart Innovation Space.
Two years free and three years half off, save what you need and spend what you need! Why are you so polite to your alma mater?
General Assembly is a rich and generous father, and Fuda is a selfless and dedicated mother.
Zhou Ruidu loves it so much!
Then the idea became smoother. On the Dajiang side, they were given a month's buffer time, and at the same time, the new office space in Shanghai was renovated simultaneously.
Don't be idle now. The non-"Furui" business in Dajiang's hands must be ended as soon as possible. From then on, he will work for "Furui" wholeheartedly.
Within a few days of arriving, the entire general direction was finalized. The progress far exceeded Zhou Rui's previous expectations, and he was given a period of freedom.
So Gan Yuan took Guan Ge back and forth between Hua Wei and Dajiang, and at the same time contacted Shanghai to gradually implement various cooperations.
Zhou Rui got into Dajiang's office and conducted research with them.
When it comes to drones, Zhou Rui mentors Da Jiang, and when it comes to software design, Da Jiang teaches Zhou Rui.
At first, everyone had their own specialties, but soon Wang Tao and the others discovered that Zhou Rui's learning speed was terrifying.
Zhou Rui has already mastered several mainstream languages before, and he has a certain foundation. In actual applications, his growth rate is faster than reading books.
I don’t know if it’s because of the influence of “analogy”, but many things that I have no experience with are surprisingly easy to understand, and I can draw inferences from one example.
On the first day, Zhou Rui needed Dajiang to spend a manpower to teach and guide.
It's probably like playing with the boss the whole time.
The next day, the person just needs to answer some questions from time to time.
By the third day, Zhou Rui was able to share some work.
On the fourth day, people started asking him questions.
From time to time, this boss can take apart his drone and modify it while developing it.
Everyone in Dajiang shouted "It's so scary".
The conference room has been vacated for Zhou Rui, who was typing codes on the computer with two semi-disassembled drones standing beside him.
Flight control software involves the bottom layer, which is very different from applications on computers and mobile phones. He likes to combine software and hardware for advancement.
Bai Xiaoying handed over a cup of coffee: "Why don't you go out for a walk? Being out of the sun for a long time is not good for your health."
Bai Xiaoying has been here with her these past few days. Although most of the time they just sit and see each other, as time goes by, the two of them occasionally chat, and they are not as distant as before.
Zhou Rui took a sip of coffee and said, "It's okay, I did F in Fujian Province before."
Bai Xiaoying reminded: "Mr. Zhou, although I am from the Secrecy Bureau, I am not qualified to hear everything. Sometimes not knowing is the best secret."
Zhou Rui raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That makes sense. It's my problem. I thought you knew everything."
After a brief chat, Zhou Rui continued to type code.
In the past few days, he has gained a lot, and experience tips are popping up. It is estimated that he will get the eighth and ninth [Engineering] entries tomorrow, which are [Basic Software Engineering] and [Basic Communication Engineering] .
But throughout the process, I still felt a limitation.
The limitations of the times.
In summary, it is not intelligent enough.
He has been studying drones for a long time and has enough knowledge. He hopes that what he makes can surpass what will be produced ten years later.
From the perspective of a reborn person, there are actually only three dimensions for the development of drones: performance, cheapness, and intelligence.
In groups, like a swarm of bees.
It is the same for both military and civilian use.
Among them, performance is needless to say. This part is determined comprehensively, depending on Zhou Rui's engineering design level and, of course, the hardware manufacturing level.
Cheapness tests the scale effect. Large-scale production and modular production are necessary to spread the cost.
The most troublesome thing is intelligence.
How to make drones operate intelligently and reduce the necessity and complexity of human operation as much as possible? If this problem cannot be solved, it will never be "overwhelming".
According to the thinking of the previous life, this seems to be the scope of artificial intelligence, but with the technology of the current era, how can there be such a large computing power to engage in artificial intelligence? At most, an artificial idiot can be made.
Dajiang's flight control actually only solves the "performance" problem, not the "intelligence" problem.
For example, let's design an agricultural drone scene first.
Design a mobile platform, similar to a truck, to carry multiple drones.
The drone can automatically plan the path, perform spraying operations like executing a program, and automatically return to the mobile platform.
With current technology, this "intelligent computing" module cannot be integrated into the drone, and the energy consumption does not allow it.
Then "centralized computing" and "centralized communication" are needed.
That is, a "brain center" is needed.
The drone signal is transmitted back, the brain center calculates, and then transmits it back to the drone.
Back and forth, delay and stability become problems. If the number is large, the carrying capacity of the computing center will also be limited.
And the cost is so high that it is not acceptable to the village-level unit at all.
The same is true in the military field. The intelligence provided by centralized computing is subject to too much interference. If it is bombed, the entire battlefield will be grounded, which is not as stable as manual operation.
Well. Actually, human operation alone can play a huge role, but Zhou Rui is greedy.
So the problem he wants to solve is.
"Intelligent self-organizing network cluster."
It's difficult.
Especially, the computer languages on the market now don't seem to support this function, let alone computing power hardware.
I can't just make a chip for unmanned operation? Is it too far?
In fact, what he needs is not the kind of "artificial intelligence" that can answer human questions, self-learn, and draw pictures for humans.
But it is "mechanical intelligence" that can adjust itself and perform repetitive tasks. In technical terms, it is to solve specific problems.
Why not make a monkey version to try?
Zhou Rui has always been a person with a fast brain and faster hands.
His engineering ability allows him to freely verify his ideas with practical actions.
Can't figure it out?
Just make one and it's done!
With some vague ideas, Zhou Rui went out with coffee.
Bai Xiaoying asked curiously: "Mr. Zhou, are you going home? Do you need me to call a car?"
Zhou Rui shook his head: "No, I'm going to buy a car."
