I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 192 Funny Acquisition Invitation (First Update)
The mysterious chess player Orange on the chessboard!

In the information age, within a few hours of Gu Jie saying it, almost all ordinary people who follow the Go circle knew this name.

And more people, who don’t pay attention to Go but care about Da Zhou’s winning the championship, also saw this news.

Since its creation, Yichen's server has finally faced its first stress test.

Many people, including those from the media, Go circle, onlookers, and even the animation circle, are downloading Yicheng just to see who this Orange is.

I have to say that the interface of Yicheng is really ugly. It's already 3062, and we can still see WinXP-style software.

There aren't many people named Orange on the chess game. Although Gu Jie didn't specify which Orange he was, the real person was soon found.

"13 wins and 1 loss, that should be it! Add a friend, add a friend!"

Whether it is the media, chess friends who are just watching the fun, or even some professional chess players, they all began to pay attention to this chess player named Orange on the Internet.

This chess player seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. He has never been online since he won two games against Gu Jie.

Who is Orange?

After all, Gu Jie had just turned eighteen and successfully won his second world championship. Within two days, he was excited again. He interacted intensively with netizens on Weibo, ate melons with them, and made public the chess records of the three games he played with Ju Zi.

The layman watches the excitement, the expert sees the details, and the spectators just sigh that there are masters among the common people. But it is different for professional chess players. These three games, especially the last two, are undoubtedly two huge bombs for them!

The first and last two games must not have been played by one person!

This has become a common understanding in the Go community.

Although there are some similarities in the chess styles in subtle details, the last two games were almost subversive in terms of chess strength and the creation and reconstruction of fixed patterns!

No matter who sent Orange an invitation to a game or a private message, they received no response.

The main reason is that the people at Youzi Technology no longer have time to gossip online. They have to continuously enrich the functions of the Orange Big Model every day. These days, they are using ImageNet to train the image recognition and visual systems of the Orange Big Model.

This work is particularly detailed and requires constant adjustment of parameters and supervision of learning results.

The Orange Big Model itself already has natural language processing capabilities, decision-making capabilities, and cross-domain learning capabilities.

After strengthening the image recognition and visual systems, the prototype of AGI is officially completed. After opening it to various industries, each industry only needs to add the modules it needs to use it in its own industry.

For example, if car companies use the Orange big model to build their own driverless systems, they only need to add corresponding modules for sensor fusion, control system and positioning system interface to the model before they can use it.

Or some larger car companies can also give the model a skin, add a self-developed interface or something, and enrich some other functions. Large refrigerators and large color TVs can all be controlled by AI, which is just a matter of working a few more programmers out.

Or in the field of medical health, X-ray, CT, MRI and other equipment are combined with AI. The image analysis is completed at the same time as the film comes out. The accuracy of the result can exceed that of 90% of doctors. It automatically summarizes the patient's medical history and gives recommended treatment plans.

For example, in the field of education, online education platforms can even customize reinforcement plans based on each student’s learning data, provide intelligent answers to questions, and plan the most appropriate learning path.

In agriculture, automatic monitoring by drones combined with automatic irrigation and pest and disease detection optimizes the use of fertilizers and pesticides, which not only improves food safety, but also reduces losses and improves planting efficiency.

As for the Industrialization 4.0 of the manufacturing industry, it has become a cliché.

Once AI begins to be widely used in various industries, with sufficient computing resources, high-quality data will continuously feed back to AI, further enhancing AI's capabilities and improving its real-time and robustness (Note 1).

Therefore, these days, the researchers of Youzi Technology have been working almost non-stop, which made Fang Yu a little scared. He hoped that no one would die suddenly or something like that, so he quickly prepared a batch of zero-ring potion - Dream Dew - for these people to improve their sleep quality.

This zero-ring medicine uses phoenix crown leaves, lavender, honey, lily, and Poria cocos as the main ingredients, violet sugar as the medicine guide, and moonstone as the catalyst. If used 0 minutes before bedtime, it can improve the user's sleep quality by 30%.

Phoenix crown leaf is a medicinal herb that Fang Yu found in Lu Sen. At that time, he collected some medicinal herbs that were not available on Blue Star from various villages and towns, and now it is being used.

Like Wangshu's Tears and Fiery Sun Essence Liquid, this 0-ring potion is not a true magic potion, so it can be diluted or divided for use.

The reason why these potions are 0-ring is not entirely because their effects are relatively poor, but because the pharmaceutical principles are fundamentally different from those of potions after the Great Arcane Era. Therefore, they cannot be classified using the 1-9-ring standards of the Great Arcane Era.

The potions of the Greater Arcane Age, since they were already guided by arcane theory, essentially used medicinal herbs as carriers of spells, sealing spells of levels 0-9 in the corresponding potions.

It sounds a bit similar to the scrolls currently used in the main plane, but the difference is that 1-5 level potions do not require mental and magical guidance, and there is no level limit for extraordinary people.

The highest level of potions is only 5th level.

As for 0-ring potions, most of them are potion formulas from thousands of years ago in the Age of the Great Arcane. The theories used are relatively primitive, still relying on the simple combination of magic and medicinal materials for composite effects or the magic of the medicinal materials themselves.

Therefore, it is difficult to make a very powerful potion with 0-ring potions. Even if it is possible, the raw materials used are much more expensive than potions with similar functions.

Moreover, the more powerful the medicine, the greater the side effects.

For example, there is also a healing potion in the 0-ring potion, called the Fountain of Recovery, which has a similar effect to the 1-ring healing potion, but the main ingredients of this potion require "Red Blood Root" and "Manganese's First Born Vine".

The red blood root is fine, although it is rare and expensive, but at least it can be bought. As for the Manganese's newborn vine, it only grows in the Manganese forest. Not only is its yield scarce, it is also very difficult to preserve.

In addition, after taking the Fountain of Recovery, a person's injuries can indeed be restored, but the affinity of the magic network will often fluctuate after use, and there is a high probability that it will become worse. Of course, there is also a thousandth of a chance of becoming stronger, but this probability is too low.

Therefore, among the 0-ring potions, the truly practical ones are the basic potions that are not that powerful.

It has few side effects, a wide range of conditions for use, and can be diluted and mass-produced to make money, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Perhaps it is for this reason that these potions have not been eliminated by the Great Arcane Era. In the era when Yuzu was still awake, these potions were still very popular. Not to mention, the office workers who drank the Dream Dew slept through the night, and the quality of sleep every night was like returning to the womb. After waking up, they were radiant and energetic, and could devote more energy to their work.

However, the amount of tea and coffee consumed in the tea room should still be the same as it should be. After all, drinking these things is mainly a habit.

"Hey, Lu Si, have you finished talking to that woman?" Hua Zecheng called out to Lu Si who was about to leave the tea room after getting a cup of coffee.

Lu Si nodded: "We're done talking."

Hua Zecheng took a sip of hot chocolate and asked, "What do you think?"

Lu Si wondered: "What do I think?"

Hua Zecheng chuckled: "A signing fee of 10 yuan and an annual salary of 20 yuan, aren't you tempted? Youzi Technology is good in every way, except that the money is not much. Isn't Qianxun's money twice as much as you have now?"

Lu Si resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "Teacher Hua, are you kidding me? Isn't Ali's 260 million plus equity incentives more tempting than Qianxun's? Why didn't you go there in the first place? Why did you come to Youzi Technology instead?"

"Besides, the orange model is now practical, and it just needs a chance to be unveiled to the public. Don't say that Chihiro is just joking. Even if the offer is high, who would jump ship at this time?"

Hua Zecheng laughed loudly. The two of them were talking about poaching by other companies, but they didn't avoid people at all.

"You can't leave. Besides, there's a confidentiality clause in the contract we signed that requires you not to disclose the technical secrets of your original company after you change jobs. If you breach the contract, you'll be punished by lightning. Hahaha."

Hua Zecheng found it funny when he thought about this breach of contract liability, and it became even funnier when he thought about his meeting with Qianxun, the so-called senior strategic investment manager, in the morning.

"I think this woman Qianxun is here to make people laugh. She's very arrogant. She keeps saying things like if you don't come now, you may not have the chance to come in the future. She's also a senior strategic investment manager, hahaha. I don't understand what Qianxun is thinking. She lets an investor be a headhunter?"

Hua Zecheng found it unbelievable. Before looking for him, didn’t this woman ask about his status in the industry and market conditions?
Last year, Ali's "doctor" Huang Jian called him personally and wanted him to become the technical director of Ali Cloud's big data department. He refused the offer with a base salary of 260 million plus equity incentives.

Later, ByteDance offered him better treatment. If he had not joined YUZI Technology, he would probably have gone to ByteDance to work on algorithms.

"I heard that it was because Mr. Fang rejected Qianxun's acquisition." Lu Si took a sip of coffee, feeling relaxed, and chatted about gossip for a rare moment.

"Acquisition?" Hua Zecheng had never heard of it before, and suddenly became excited. "What price did Qianxun offer?"

"It seems to be 40 million?" Lu Si thought about it.

"Mai Yuan?"

"No, Great Zhou Coin."

When Hua Zecheng heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of chocolate.

"Is Qianxun sick? Forty million? The money invested in Yuzu Technology is more than that, right? Who told you that? It's impossible."

Lu Si shook his head: "Yesterday at noon, I went to have lunch with Shu Yao, and the boss happened to be there talking about this matter. I overheard a little bit, and he didn't tell me not to tell anyone, so it should be okay to tell others."

It’s okay, what the hell could possibly happen? It can just be told as a joke if you tell it to others.

"Qianxun, this is a joke, but I think the company will have to look for external investment soon. The computing power is basically full now. It is said that another 300 M60s will be delivered tomorrow, which is more than million. If there is no external investment, I think it will be difficult to sustain it."

Hua Zecheng was a little worried.

He was not worried about not getting his salary, but about his boss being too young, unable to seize financing opportunities, and eventually dying before dawn.

Hua Zecheng had previously started a business with some friends and had several financing experiences. He knew that financing was also a science.

If the timing of financing is right and the right investors are chosen, the company can immediately enter the fast lane.

If you don't raise funds when you should, or raise funds when you don't need them, the latter is not a big deal, at most you may lose control after the company becomes bigger, but if it is the former, you may not even have the chance to grow bigger.

In his opinion, Qianxun might not be a good partner, at least not now, but other companies can definitely give it a try.

For example, Tencent, Google, and ByteDance are also developing well now and can also be considered.

Only by introducing the angel round first can we have money to burn and gain widespread support and recognition from the market.

Moreover, now the Orange Model has just defeated Gu Jie.

What great timing.

By promoting this incident, Youzi Technology will become a leader in the AI ​​industry.

By then, the angel round valuation will be at least more than 200 million US dollars.

Of course, this is because Youzi Technology is in Da Zhou. If it were in Maiguo, the valuation would be at least 500 million, or even higher.

What on earth is this small boss thinking? Why hasn't he spread the news about the big orange model yet?

Note 1: Robustness refers to the ability of a system to maintain its performance and stability in the face of uncertainty, noise and abnormal conditions. This means that the system can operate reliably under different operating conditions.

Take autonomous driving for example. When faced with pedestrians who do not obey traffic rules, this places relatively high demands on the robustness of the system.

For example, in financial analysis software, whether AI can still make reasonable market forecasts after a black swan event occurs is also robustness.
