Chapter 145 This Is Enviable!

The ‘valid and irrelevant carry screening method’ is not a formula, theorem, or other definite thing, but a summarized ‘method’.

Methods only point the way.

This is like someone who wants to go to Daxinganling from the south and doesn’t know how to get there. He gets the information when he asks for directions--

Keep going north!

Going north is theoretically correct, but how to find the Greater Khingan Mountains requires constant correction of the route, otherwise we may have to cross the prairie and reach Siberia.

The meaning is the same.

The ‘valid and irrelevant carry screening method’ is a method of eliminating harmful ones through comparison, but when it comes to specific situations, it is still necessary to think about the conditions step by step and perfect the entire process.

Any method that can cover multiple fields is actually very vague because there is no way to express it accurately.

Zhao Yi proved the 'effective and irrelevant carry screening method', which is equivalent to providing a new research method and direction to the world's computer researchers. However, there are still many difficulties in developing a Rubik's Cube calculator based on this method. of.

In the two months since I published the paper on 'Effective and Irrelevant Carry Screening Method' and then went to Yanhua University to give a lecture, there is only an 'imperfect Rubik's Cube Calculator' on the market, far from a 'perfect Rubik's Cube Calculator'. The difference between the two calculators cannot be said to be thousands of miles away, but the gap is still relatively large, even bigger than making an "imperfect Rubik's Cube Calculator" from scratch.

Any company that independently develops a Rubik's Cube algorithm must invest a lot of manpower and time.

Compared with labor costs, time costs will be greater.

The source code of the Rubik's Cube calculator designed by Zhao Yi is the most streamlined, with less than 10,000 lines put together. A team conducts research together, and the methods and directions they can come up with are not necessarily accurate. Maybe among ten people , eight of them are wrong, and most of the work becomes useless.

Therefore, compared with the manpower and time costs required for research and development, the price of hundreds of thousands of dollars is not expensive.

Of course.

If a company can afford to wait and only allow a few people to study it, it will take one, two years, or even longer to slowly improve the algorithm.

After excluding the time cost, the labor cost is not much, maybe only a salary of 100,000 US dollars is enough.

Everything is uncertain.

Zhao Yi's bottom line for the source code of the Rubik's Cube calculator is $600,000.

If it is purchased by a domestic company, it can be relatively cheaper, and it does not involve national honor or the like, because domestic companies will not rush to buy a Rubik's Cube algorithm. They will definitely use it in their own research and development in the future, or just Simply study and learn the methods in the source code.

Fruit companies are different.

The fruit company is about to release a new mobile phone, and it is a mobile phone that is a symbol of the times. Time cost is more important to them than labor cost.

Six hundred thousand dollars is not expensive.

Zhao Yi really couldn't understand why the fruit company had such an attitude of 'if you like to sell, you don't want to sell'.

why?

Two words: confidence.

The fruit company is very confident in its own research and development capabilities. If they don't know the 'valid and irrelevant carry screening method', they really don't have the confidence to develop the Rubik's Cube algorithm.

But, there already is.

With an established research and development direction, their technical department believes that after investing some manpower, it can be developed within a certain period of time. Think about it carefully, how complicated can the Rubik's Cube algorithm studied by a high school student be?

Simple for sure!

Once you have a set direction, as long as you find the key points, you can almost make it.

In addition, the senior executives of the fruit company also lack a good impression of Zhao Yi.

The outside world thinks that Zhao Yi has received a million-dollar reward from the fruit company, so they think there must be a great relationship between the two. The situation is exactly the opposite. Most people in the technical department of the fruit company have no good impression of Zhao Yi at all.

After all, who would like someone who finds fault with their own work?

Zhao Yi not only made mistakes, but continued to make mistakes.

When promoting the award to Zhao Yi at a press conference in Jiangzhou, Zhao Yi simply broke into the operating system of Fruit Computer on the spot and revealed a driver vulnerability. As a result, several teams in the technology department had their bonuses deducted.

This kind of thing should be said in private...

Anyway, that’s what the senior executives of the fruit company thought, because their stock prices were affected and fell accordingly.

Such a guy...

Unless you are willing to work in a fruit company, you will never have a good impression of me.

Want us to pay for a Rubik's Cube algorithm?

We have the world's top technology department, which has developed a closed mobile phone operating system. We might as well invest our own manpower in research and development, and we will definitely be able to produce it in a short time.

…

Zhao Yi didn't know about the fruit company, he just felt very unhappy.

Suddenly he didn't want to sell it.

Zhao Yi stared at his robot and simply summarized the recent program design work, unpacking, classifying, and encrypting the robot code he designed alone.

To summarize, it includes--

"Four-camera Stereo Image Analysis Algorithm"

"Stereo Image Analysis Pathfinding Streamlined Algorithm"

"Flexible control of components by combining sensor data and machine vision"

"Keyword grasp program call"

The last one is intelligent dialogue, which basically means designing keywords to let the robot understand what it wants to do and call relevant programs to execute it.

Zhao Yi looked at the summary carefully and found that he could write several papers.

He gave up anyway.

If it is just a programming paper, it is actually not interesting, and it is difficult to get into the top computer academic papers.

This is why it is difficult to publish computer papers.

Computer programs are considered to be the rules and methods of intellectual activity of the human brain. Pure program codes are not protected by patent law. Only by completing the corresponding product can one register and obtain copyright.

The same goes for publishing papers.

Some computer algorithm-related research, as long as it is not groundbreaking, will be regarded as just ordinary coding, and it will be difficult to get into top academic magazines.

"If you sell the source code you made, you might be able to get a lot of money, but it will definitely be a one-time thing, and you will have to sign a confidentiality agreement."

"It's troublesome, and it won't sell for much..."

Zhao Yi thought.

Although the algorithm he studied is very practical, because it is not protected by patent rights, it is still an algorithm in the final analysis. Many computer-related companies can develop it and directly sell the source code as long as they know the purpose and invest manpower and material resources. It won't be sold at a high price.

This is not a direct product after all.

In addition, it is very important that everyone at home and abroad knows that artificial intelligence is the general direction, but most companies in the field of artificial intelligence are in a state of continuous losses and have been relying on financing to extend their lives, including Zhang Zhen's Zhouyu Interactive. .

Artificial intelligence represents the future, but it does not represent the present.

It's hard to say how much a company that continues to make losses will spend on functional code.

Zhao Yi simply decided not to sell it.

He is not short of money.

At the same time, he also knows that selling source code is the most efficient way, and the best way is to find someone to realize the value together.

Now there are some "intelligent algorithm service providers". The core is either a supercomputing center or a core R&D team. Focusing on one or two top-level intelligent R&D, it can cover and expand to a company. The company is built around the team. Our core research provides customized algorithms and intelligent technology services to customers in need.

Yuan Zhongchen's Yutu Robot will be such a company in the future. They provide the underlying robot operating system and provide customers with the technical needs for customized functions.

In addition, there are some companies that provide basic facial recognition, intelligent conversation and other technologies.

etc.

These are the ‘upper level’ companies in the field of artificial intelligence.

Those companies that sell smart products are only downstream companies. They need technical support from upstream companies to ensure the functionality and safety of their products.

"never mind!"

"Let's talk about it later!"

Zhao Yi thought about it and decided to continue to improve the robot. He did not joke with Lin Xiaoqing, Zhao Linlin and others. His goal was indeed to build an intelligent robot that could serve as a security guard, nanny, and housekeeper.

Although the goal sounds far away, as long as we slowly improve the functions, it will get closer and closer!

…

After the final exam, senior high school students have three days off, and then continue school.

This is a make-up lesson before winter vacation.

The make-up classes will last for ten days, until the 24th day of the first lunar month, when there will be an official holiday. Then around the seventh day of the new year, the senior high school students will go back to school, and the total holiday will be almost two weeks.

Compared with other schools, No. 13 Middle School is already very good.

In fact, the No. 13 Middle School originally planned to make up for a few extra days of classes and shorten the vacation to a week. This is the embarrassing part. Some time ago, the school has been promoting quality education.

Can quality education provide long-term make-up classes?

Wang Chengmin and Li Lisheng felt that they had been cheated. It was reported that the winter vacation of No. 13 Middle School was only for one week. Wasn't all the previous publicity in vain?

No. 13 Middle School is a model of quality education among public high schools!

at last.

In the senior year of high school, we decided to hold a special parent-teacher meeting to remind all parents to supervise their students' learning during the holidays, and also prepared a lot of homework for the students to ensure that they would not forget what they had learned just because of the holidays.

Of course.

Now the senior high school students are still making up classes because the final exam is over and the winter vacation is coming soon, and the student atmosphere has also been greatly affected.

Most people are talking about two topics -

One is, test scores.

One is, vacation.

During the past two days of vacation, teachers participated in the work of judging papers. The test results will be out soon, because they have to go to the province for ranking, and they have to wait for the results of other cities. Finally, they will be sent to the province for summary. It will take time to get the test papers. .

Lin Xiaoqing kept worrying about her grades, "I feel like I didn't do well in the exam, especially in mathematics. The last question..."

"There are also English, I'm not sure about several questions, and two of the listening questions are Monde..."

"Chinese composition..."

"Physics question..."

Zhao Yi felt a little dizzy after hearing this.

"Xiaoqing, don't talk about the exam." Zhao Linlin also raised her forehead and quickly changed the subject, "Let's talk about where to go!"

"South Island!"

Zhao Yi definitely named a place, "The beach there is pretty good, no worse than abroad. I'm going to find a hotel near the sea and stay there for a week."

"We're just in the hotel, why don't we go visit the sights?"

"Don't go!"

"I want to go! There is such a thing as the ends of the earth in South Island. It is very famous. I must go there and take pictures!"

"Yes, take pictures!"

As soon as the two girls talked about taking pictures, they immediately became energetic.

Lin Xiaoqing talked about holding a camera and letting Zhao Yi act as the cameraman, and also suggested that Zhao Yi learn some basic photography techniques.

Zhao Yiquan pretended not to hear.

Zhao Linlin was concerned about what actions to take, saying that she wanted to take the cutest, liveliest, and most beautiful photos, and then the two of them argued about what actions were the cutest and most beautiful.

This topic...

Zhao Yi pressed his forehead hard, unable to participate.

The two girls didn't let him go during their argument.

"Zhao Yi, do you think what I said is right?"

"I must be right!"

"I'm right!"

"Let Zhao Yi speak!" Lin Xiaoqing brought the topic to Zhao Yi with one sentence. The two girls stared at him, hoping that he would express his support for her.

Zhao Yi looked at Lin Xiaoqing, then at Zhao Linlin, nodded and said, "My opinions are different from yours."

"Then what?"

"What I admire most is the mermaid."

Zhao Linlin frowned and asked, "Is it that kind of action where the legs are lying in the water? It sounds good. Under the sunshine, the waves crashed over, and the sea water submerged the fish's tail..."

"What a great idea!"

Lin Xiaoqing thought it was good after thinking about it carefully. She gave Zhao Yi a rare look of praise.

"What are you talking about!"

Sun Liang suddenly came over and said, "All men like mermaids, but it definitely has nothing to do with what you are talking about. Mermaids, think about it... If you live in the water for a long time, you will definitely not wear clothes..."

Holy shit!

Steal my lines!

Zhao Yi interrupted righteously, "Monkey, what are you talking about? How can your thoughts be so dirty!"

"that is!"

"Too vulgar! Obscene!"

"shameless!"

"Obscene!"

Even the female classmates who were listening next to them all yelled at Sun Liang angrily.

Before Sun Liang could react, Zhao Yi immediately grabbed him and shouted, "What are you waiting for! Teach this dirty guy a lesson!"

Several girls went up.

"Crack!"

"Bang bang!"

"Don't slap me in the face!"

"Zhao Yi, I'm not done with you!"

When the matter is over, he brushes off his clothes and goes away, hiding his merit and fame.

Zhao Yi returned to his seat, feeling happy in his heart, "Let you steal my study coins! Let you steal my study coins! Let you steal my study coins..."

afterwards.

Sun Liang was the only one who was depressed, and he was already depressed enough.

It was originally a very happy and enviable thing for Sun Liang to enter the Mathematical Olympiad winter camp, but he did not feel any envy, but felt that he was doing hard work.

have a look!

Zhao Yi ranked first in the provincial Olympiad and did not go to any winter camp at all. Instead, he went on vacation with Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin.

This is enviable!

Sun Liang could only look at Zhao Yi with sadness, his pitiful eyes arousing sympathy.

Zhao Yi patted his shoulder hard and said sincerely, "Monkey, go in peace. I hope you can get into the top sixty and strive to go to Shuimu and Shoudai University next year!"

Sun Liang suddenly felt relieved.

Zhao Yi continued, "When we get there, we will send you more photos and call you then. Also, I will remember to bring you a gift!"

"Do not worry!"

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he left.

Sun Liang looked at his back, remembering the 'victory' last time, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
