Chapter 180 Blank Ticket!

Is it too late for me to change a host now!

No! I want to change a world!

The system grabbed Cao Shen's arm, and he was a little unsteady.

Tao Qian, who was beside him, quickly helped him up, and looked at the green-faced system and said with concern:

"Engineer Fan, is there something wrong?"

Cao Shen waved his hand:

"It's okay, Engineer Fan is a professional!

You go and do your work first, I will discuss technical issues with him."

Tao Qian was not born with technology, and thinking about Xie Dingdan and Cao Dashen talking about technology, he must be confused.

Mr. Cao is so considerate, knowing that he didn't understand and avoiding embarrassment, he found a reason for him to escape quickly.

So, he was very grateful and left quickly.

[Cao thief! You cheated me! 】

Cao Shen sat down on the shelf:

"System, you are wrong. I spent a year's worth of life to buy this intelligent storage system. A year, a year's worth of life.

For such an expensive product, are you ashamed not to provide good after-sales service?

Besides, you can't be happy when shopping and then turn your face against me when working.

Is the little skirt pretty?"

[Pretty] The system nodded.

"Is the Mingji Restaurant fragrant?"

[Fragrant! ] The system sniffed.

"Who said that everything would be fine as long as I went shopping with you?"

[It was me...] The system lowered its head and muttered softly:

[But this is too difficult...]

Cao Shen raised a finger and shook it:

"It's not difficult, but the things produced by your system don't consider how miserable I am in this world in 2012.

They don't consider the current level of technology and whether the things you produce can be used.

Can you do it? If not, I will return the goods!

You also have to compensate me for my losses!

I have built 40 warehouses of this size.

Let's not talk about the money. The key is to spend time, energy, and effort.

If you can't do it, you have to pay ten times the compensation.

Human e-commerce also pays ten times for fake goods!

Quick, return the goods!"

Yes, Cao Shen had carefully studied the "intelligent warehousing system" given by the system earlier and found a serious problem.

This system can't be used in the current world!

To use this system, it is necessary to command a large number of machines to work.

But obviously, the functions and performance of the machines in this world cannot meet the minimum requirements of the "intelligent warehousing system".

In fact, the instant messaging, cloud computing, NLP intelligent guidance, image recognition, recommendation algorithms, etc. provided by the earlier system are all the same.

Whether it is the current server or the smart phone, it can't bring the computing power required for these things.

So, everything is running on the system.

The cloud computing provided by Cao Shen can only take out some functions to barely run on the current server.

On the mobile phone side and the server side, the system can also "pre-process" all the data and calculations in the background, which is actually in its own head.

The mobile phone side basically only does "output", such as "display" of images and sounds.

And now, the "output" of these warehouse robots is obviously not to display a sound and picture.

Their output is to move.

And the result of the movement must be returned to the system to arrange the next action instruction.

The speed, accuracy, amplitude, response speed, etc. of the movement all need to rely heavily on the hardware and mechanical parts of the machine itself.

It is not something that can be done by pre-processing the system.

In other words, this "intelligent storage system" must be modified on a large scale according to the actual conditions of the current robots.

Cao Shen knew about this a long time ago, but he just didn't say it!

When the system heard that Cao Shen wanted to return the goods and asked for compensation, the whole system panicked.

Ten years, it's not enough to compensate her if she was stuffed back!

How long has she been a talent! She hasn't enjoyed food, wine, and beautiful clothes yet...

No, absolutely not.

Gritting his teeth, he said:

[No, no, no! Host, don't!

I'll do it, I can't do it!

Don't return the goods, I can't afford it.

Look, I'm so short, there's really nothing I can compensate you with.

I'll do it, I will definitely do it for you! ]

The system looked at the "robots" in the entire warehouse, and tears were about to burst out.

She only "sells" things, and she firmly believes that her own things are good things.

But, the problem now is that her own things are "too good" and don't match this era.

These machines are all "Stone Age" things!

Not only are the performance and functions backward, the interfaces are not standardized, the operating systems of each company are different, and all instructions must be translated according to the "language" they can understand.

No, no, no, this is not the difficulty.

The difficulty is that the performance of these machines is very poor.

For example, according to the standard of the original system, an action that needs to respond in more than 0.00N seconds, and a certain number of actions must be completed per second...

These machines can't achieve it at all.

The standard deviation of each machine's response is different.

The timeline of the whole pipeline is wrong.

The whole system needs to be changed.

Each machine is not a standardized general-purpose CPU, and the instruction set is different.

What should I do...

Cao Shen looked at the system on the verge of collapse and said slowly:

"There are many different CPUs, right?"

[Hmmmm!] The system nodded frantically.

"So, you can actually try to write a universal operating system." Cao Shen touched his nose.

The system was stunned, and immediately came to its senses:

[Yes, yes, yes!

Host, you are right!

First make a universal operating system, then everything will be simple!

Host, you are so smart! ]

The system was overjoyed and rolled up its sleeves to get started.

Cao Shen held her down and said:

"Don't worry.

I have another suggestion. You have seen that the hardware performance of these devices is not very good.

If you write a general operating system, if you can't maximize the performance of the existing hardware, then your operating system will be very... lame.

And the CPUs of these machines are not like computers, and they are not powerful to begin with.

In this case, your operating system will become something that occupies hardware resources, resulting in lower hardware performance in the future, and this intelligent storage system will not be able to run."

The system looked at Cao Shen and said with tears in its eyes:

[What do you think? Say it all at once! ]

"So, you have to write the operating system with the maximum performance for each CPU first, and then unify the abstraction, and then modify and debug."

[Oh, that's the reason]

"But if you do it for each device one by one, you will have to stay here all the time, and I don't know when you can finish it."

Click! The system froze:

[So? Host, I don't want to stay here all the time.

I still have to wear a little skirt! 】

"So, I suggest you use digital twin technology.

Abstract all the devices and simulate them.

Then, you can change it anywhere."

Cao Shen grinned and showed an encouraging smile.

The system hammered his palm hard:

[Yes! Host, you are so smart, that's it! 】

The concept of "twin" originated from NASA's "Apollo Project", which is to build two identical spacecraft.

One of them is launched into space to perform missions, and the other is left on Earth to reflect the working status of the spacecraft in space during the mission.

This "twin" approach assists engineers in analyzing and handling emergencies in space.

Of course, the two spacecraft here are real physical entities.

In 2002, Michael Grieves of the University of Michigan first proposed the idea of ​​digital twins, which was named "information mirror model" at the time.

Digital twins are a simulation process that integrates multi-disciplinary, multi-physical quantities, multi-scales, and multi-probabilities through physical models, sensor updates, operation history and other data.

Map the real "entity" in the virtual space, so as to reflect the whole life cycle of the physical equipment in the "virtual space".

Like in the movie Iron Man, a holographic model appears when you wave your hand, and you can take out any component by reaching into the model for analysis.

This is essentially the visualization of digital twin technology.

Of course, AR augmented reality technology and gesture recognition technology are used here for visualization and interaction.

So, science fiction is actually based on reality.

In digital twin technology, all data of virtual simulation must be synchronized with the real world in real time.

Otherwise, how can it be called "twin".

In this way, calculation, analysis, modification, and even prediction can be performed in the "virtual".

Thanks to the development of new generation information technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, the technology of digital twin has been commercialized in the original world.

So, the "cool" in the movie can already be used in the real world.

For example, when the new Beijing airport was built, the keel and pipe network were the objects of twinning.

In addition, this technology has also been put into use in the digital heart of medical care.

Twinning the heart structure, blood vessels, and electrocardiogram can reduce surgical risks, improve drug effects, and customize treatment plans.

In smart cities, urban layout, pipeline networks, meteorology, etc. have also become twinned objects, which can increase emergency response efficiency by 30% and reduce congestion by 25%.

Microsoft's Azure Digital Twins, a foreign digital twin product, is an IoT service that can build a complete physical environment model. This service can build spatial intelligent graphics and use models to present the correlation and interaction between people, space, and devices.

It can be applied to stadiums, factories, parking lots, parks, smart grids, and cities.

Domestically, Alibaba Cloud develops digital twin technology for smart cities based on the city brain, and widely applies cloud and AI technologies.

On the cloud computing open platform, large-scale simulation, deduction, and prediction are carried out through digital twin cities, combined with dynamic traffic, commercial activities, crowd density and other live data, to analyze the impact of urban planning and management on the overall development parameter system of the city in real time.

On December 18, 2018, 51VR launched the "Earth Cloning Project" to "replicate the Earth" in the virtual world using digital twin technology and VR.

JD Logistics also launched a digital twin supply chain platform, becoming the first logistics company in the world to use this technology.

Digital twin technology requires a large number of "sensors" to "get" the data of the machine in real time, although the number of sensors of these machines is limited now.

However, after all, it is a system, so of course you can't get it!

It can't be "read". Cao Shen is naturally very confident about this.

And Cao Shen is now recommending the system to use this technology, which he has been thinking about for a long time.

After studying this "intelligent warehousing system", Cao Shen began to plan this matter.

He wants "free tickets"!

Of course, our General Cao has always been shameless.

This time, he not only wants "free tickets" for a digital twin platform, but also "free tickets" for an Internet of Things operating system.

When Cao Shen heard Qian Ming introduce "intelligent manufacturing" at the beginning, he was thinking about what to do.

If not, Cao Shen would dare to say to Qian Ming: "If it's good, I'll take over." Such words.

To wash dishes, you must have a brush.

Mr. Cao certainly has orders in hand, but for Mr. Cao, a player who always likes to overturn the table, this is not enough.

To do real intelligent manufacturing, digital twin technology is the foundation.

The CD period of random tasks is half a year, right? There is no reward, right?

Haha, I create rewards myself!

In addition, Mr. Cao is willing to spend 500 million US dollars to acquire MIPS, which must be calculated carefully.

The reason why MIPS has not developed well in the future is that this architecture is not like ARM.

ARM is strongly bound to Anzhuo, and Intel is strongly bound to Windows.

This is a typical chip architecture plus operating system model.

It is precisely because of this model that these four companies are in their heyday in their respective fields and are close to monopoly.

MIPS does not have a unified operating system, but there are a lot of messy different versions of operating systems.

Cao Shen acquired MIPS, and the premise is that he can definitely hold down the system's head and make a unified operating system for himself.

Not only that, the robots Cao Shen bought this time were all carefully selected.

All of them are machines with MIPS as the core architecture!

As for the two things that cost lives, haha, in the words of the system:

When living, you have to be thrifty.

Besides, a set of intelligent storage systems takes one year of life.

Any of these two things can make Cao Shen play a greater role, and it is definitely not cheap!

Looking at the system that has already sat cross-legged on the ground, closed its eyes and started working.

Cao Shen gently stroked the system's bald head:

Oh my engineer, this bald head, this plaid shirt, it's really pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it!

Of course, Cao Shen is not a completely crazy host.

He wants to "fight" with the system!

The specific performance is that the system is working, and Cao Shen is responsible for eating next to it.

"Oh, there is nothing delicious in the wilderness nearby.

The only thing I can get recently is KFC. Come, let me smell it for you."

The system sniffed:

[It smells pretty good]

"Well, this finger-licking original chicken is pretty good." Cao Shen tore off a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, uh, it's almost like chewing toilet paper.

"Come, let me give you a whiff of this, tender beef and five-sided!

System, how long will it take you?"

[I want to smell that, Orleans chicken wings! ]

"Okay, okay, let me get closer for you to smell."

[It's still early, milk tea, I want milk tea! ]

"Okay, I'll serve you, smell the milk tea."

Tao Qian was full of admiration for this.

Boss Cao, no wonder your technology is so awesome!

Look at the sky, it's been a whole day.

In order to solve technical problems, I stayed in the warehouse with Engineer Fan.

Originally, I thought that Boss Cao rarely came, and I carefully selected a place and arranged a time for a welcoming banquet at noon.

In the end, he didn't care about food at all.

Just eat some takeout and it's done, this is the spirit of technology!

Cao Shen also saw that the sky was getting dark. Originally, he had agreed to go to Xu Mingzhe's place for a banquet in the evening.

Decisive to stand him up!
