After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 212: Only with Xiaosha can we work harder!

The next day, Hao Cheng deliberately got up a little later and arrived at the company at nearly ten o'clock.

If I sleep in an extra hour on weekdays, it feels as comfortable as if I had a weekend off.

"Boss Hao, Boss Hao!"

"Xiaosha!"

"robot!"

"Add order"

……

There will be a technology industry summit for new chips at 2 o'clock this afternoon. However, it will only be attended by companies and professionals in the industry, and there will be no large-scale publicity. The meeting will even be held in the reception room of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center.

However, some powerful netizens and even many media gathered near the park at this time as if they smelled something fishy.

Seeing Hao Cheng coming, some people started shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Xiaosha!"

【According to comprehensive analysis by City Skynet and Xiaosha, there were no high-risk individuals in the crowd. They were indeed fans and some self-media and media who came spontaneously.】

Xiaosha is becoming more and more aware of his own thoughts. As soon as Hao Cheng calls out, it knows what Hao Cheng wants to ask.

Don’t blame Hao Cheng for being cautious. America was still planning an assassination years ago. After destroying a wave of their satellites, they stopped for the time being. But who can guarantee that they won’t have such thoughts again?
At present, all monitoring equipment and sky eyes in the whole Linzhou are connected to Xiaosha’s body movements and behavioral logic analysis, especially in the High-tech Zone, which has been equipped with new equipment.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is armed to the teeth. Xiaosha's own assessment is: even if there is a rat in the sewer with bad intentions, Xiaosha can analyze it.

Hao Cheng stopped and waved his hand, and the scene instantly became quiet.

He said: "Xiaosha Robot will launch a new version without CPU at noon today. The new version is no longer limited. You just need to prepare a mobile phone, any mobile phone except Apple will do.

"It's plug-and-play, and the requirements are not high. Flagship models from five years ago and thousand-yuan phones from the past two or three years can meet the needs as long as they can be equipped with Xiaosha. So, you don't have to worry about the production capacity of Xiaosha robots."

The original plan was to be carried out. Hao Ben was thinking of not announcing it in advance and launching it quietly at 12 o'clock. However, since there was a large group of people gathered here, he simply revealed it in advance.

After saying that, Hao Cheng waved his hand and went towards the office area.

"Mr. Hao, goodbye!"

"Oh, that's great! If I can't buy it again, my little brat won't be able to hold me back!"

"Who said it wasn't? This time I have to place the order on time at twelve o'clock!"

"Well, boy, what are you doing? Don't post on TikTok. No one will know. Wouldn't we be able to line up directly at the front?"

The second round of pre-sales was to start at 12 o'clock, but it's now past ten o'clock and no notification has been sent out. Some people instantly guessed that they might not have planned to send it out in the first place, and immediately stopped the people on the scene from sending it out.

"Too late, it's already been sent!"

"You, this idiotic thing, I'll post it too!"

In this way, Hao Cheng's words were quickly spread across the entire Internet by dozens of people at the scene.

"Really? There's no CPU, so I just plug in a discarded second-hand mobile phone? I'm not sleepy anymore!"

An online seller casually posted a photo of six or seven discarded mobile phones in his bedside table: "I didn't even exchange them for scissors or pots, but now they are finally useful!"

"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. As long as you want to do it, there is nothing you can't do. This is not some high-end technology. And it's connected via C port, so the delay can be ignored."

"Why do we have to use wires? Can't we use wireless?"

"Wireless? Bluetooth, even the latest Bluetooth 5.X, has a latency of 100ms. As for WIFI, the latest 6.0 or even 7.0 is also at the millisecond level. This is too fatal for the CPU and can freeze you! However, Xingshan may be similar. The latency is at the microsecond level. If Xiaosha optimizes the communication and transmission, it may work!"

"No, buddy, what kind of technology are you discussing here? Is this something we can discuss? Hurry up and get the goods!"

"There should be no need to rush. I just checked my shipment. Originally, I had over 3 million units, which were expected to be shipped in May. Now, it has been brought forward to early March. Based on this calculation, the original million units will be shipped within this month."

"So that means if you buy it today, you can get it next month?"

"You're dreaming, that depends on how fast you act!"

……

Hao Cheng's few words caused an uproar on the Internet. Before eleven o'clock, a group of people had already flocked to the official mall of the official website, watching the countdown for more than an hour, ready to start grabbing the products.

"How many orders are expected?" Hao Cheng took off his down jacket and hung it on the coat rack. Looking at Cao Song who had just set the sales time, he asked, "Why are you doing it yourself?"

"Use it or lose it. You can't always use Xiaosha. You have to practice occasionally."

Cao Song scratched his head. The current problem of Baiju Technology is that the speed of hardware cannot keep up with the development of systems and AI. Everyone’s workload is seriously undersaturated. This is also to prevent oneself from being idle, especially when the leader is around. Even if you find excuses, you have to move more. This is called self-awareness.

"As for orders, it's hard to estimate now." Cao Song shook his head. Originally, this was just a children's robot, but people have developed more and more uses for it, such as chatting and playing with others, guarding the door, treating mental illness, and even having a sweet human-machine love affair. It is no longer confined to the scope of children's cognitive assistance.

If everyone is allowed to buy it, it is really hard to say what the quantity will be.

Not to mention that everyone has one like a mobile phone, but even if it is only one-third or one-fifth, the sales volume will be in the billions, and in the end it will be in the hundreds of millions.

You know, unlike mobile phones which have many manufacturers, this thing is now unique.

"Just let it go!" Hao Cheng said after a little thought. Gao Chenyu has been working at full capacity to speed up the construction of the factory. In addition, a cutting-edge technology exploration experimental zone is about to be established. With preferential policies in all aspects, he has no pressure or worries in expanding the factory. He is ready to expand the existing factory into a future robot production base in one fell swoop, and there is no need to worry about production capacity.

“However, it should be placed in a prominent position to remind them to pay attention to risks and consume rationally.” Finally, Hao Cheng added.

【announcement】

[The current version of Xiaosha is specially designed for children's cognitive assistance and is not equipped with other types of sensors and collection devices. Please carefully and prudently evaluate whether it is suitable for your situation.

[The daily dietary guidelines require detailed physical data support. Xiaosha is not currently equipped with this module. All dietary recommendations are for reference only. If you need more accurate professional dietary guidelines for weight loss, weight loss, muscle gain, etc., you need to provide accurate daily physical test data.

[Business decision analysis is only based on data samples and does not represent the actual situation, let alone future trends. Investment is risky and requires caution.]

[The love guide is not Xiaosha’s forte, so please be careful to discern and guard against all the suggestions.

[Humans and machines have different paths, love simulation is only for games, please do not get addicted.

[……[The current version has not been certified as a medical device, nor has it undergone professional certification for counselors, physicians, or pharmacists. All medical advice is for reference only.

【Please note, do not be superstitious about Xiaosha, consume rationally and live a healthy life. 】

In short, the announcement lists dozens of warnings, reminding people to consume rationally and not to become obsessed with AI.

But customers don't seem to buy it: "Rational consumption? It's only more than 2,000 yuan in total, and the CPU-free version is 300 yuan cheaper. What's so rational about this?"

"Humans and machines have different paths? As long as it's not humans and ghosts, at least AI won't cheat me out of my money!"

"Medical advice is for reference only? That's true, but no matter how much it's for reference only, it's better than me taking it blindly or searching on Baidu!"

"You know what? Xiaosha's daily diet suggestions are very powerful. Send all your physical indicators to it, and then use a sports watch to record your exercise status. All the data about what you eat, drink and use will be synchronized to it. If nothing else, in just three to five days, it will predict your weight very accurately. If you don't believe me, just try it."

"It may not be accurate in the first few days, but after calibration for a period of time, it will be very accurate." The netizen added.

"It's just an example, right? It can't even calculate when you poop, right?"

"Well, you can't be too demanding. Mine isn't very accurate, but the general trend is correct!"

"The reasoning ability for overall things and changing things is not strong enough. Is it limited by the chip? Isn't there a new metacognitive architecture chip? I don't know when it can be used."

"It should be soon. The chip industry summit is being held today. There should be news this afternoon."

"This, didn't Mr. Hao say at the robot's launch conference? In half a year, or five months if we count now, we will be able to use chips with metacognitive architecture! So, I remind everyone to consume rationally. Will you change your phone or not when the time comes?"

"Why update it so quickly? Isn't it better to have the technology in reserve? We can update it later when the product stops selling. This is making us feel so confused!"

"You think Baiju Technology is a toothpaste factory? Let me tell you, Baiju Technology has a long list of new technologies to send out, and they can never be exhausted. Once they start squeezing out the toothpaste, it means they are going downhill!"

"Okay, I'm not going to talk to you any more. The robbery will start in 20 minutes. I have to go and watch!"

……

Regarding this matter, Hao Cheng and Cao Song were also discussing the CPU-free version of the Xiaosha robot.

"Actually, I have an idea," Cao Song said. "Now, aren't we using a mobile phone to replace our CPU? In essence, we are using the collaborative processing capabilities of Xiaosha.

“Since robots can do this, then all devices that don’t move often, including our TVs, desktop computers, and all our smart homes, home storage, etc., can all remove the CPU as long as they are in one space and don’t move often.

"So, based on this idea, can we make a device that has nothing but a super-powerful CPU, and then use wireless means to provide computing and service support for all the above devices?

“Even GPU graphics cards can be configured in this way, allowing our mobile devices, such as mobile phones and tablets, to function in this way.

"When we go out, it's just a normal phone. We watch Douyin, chat on Liusha, and play some light games. Then when we get home, it can connect to the separate super-powerful CPU or even the graphics card.

"Didn't we discuss before the subsequent physical sense and virtual reality scene realization of our borderless system?"

After hearing what Cao Song said, Hao Cheng scratched his head.

Indeed, current computing devices are already evolving, and the first phase of the metacognitive chip plan will be officially announced this afternoon. However, in terms of display, whether it is VR, virtual reality, or 3D display, the current results are not very good.

Hao Cheng also got a general idea of some of the plans in the late-night class, but he did not look into them in depth because Baiju Technology’s current focus is not here.

But now that it was brought up, Hao Cheng made a rough assessment. Those plans were indeed very effective. Some of them were even so real that people couldn't tell the difference between reality and fiction.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be made now, but even if it is a second-level thing, the demand for computing power is huge.

Even if we wait for the metacognitive chip to come out and the new spatial graphics processor to be mass-produced, there may be no problem in realizing it. However, portable devices cannot be used, and a desktop computer will need a huge power supply to support it.

Cao Song's idea provides another way of thinking:

"With a super CPU installed in a home, we don't even have to consider heat dissipation and power consumption for a single device. It can directly solve more than 85% of the high-performance demand scenarios we have been discussing before!"

"The idea is feasible, but have you ever thought about the problem of how to transmit it?" Hao Cheng said, "Let's not talk about the latency. The amount of data alone is not something that current Bluetooth, WIFI or even Star Flash can handle."

If we just create the so-called VR/AR effects now, then there is naturally no problem, but that would be meaningless.

However, if the three-dimensional simulated display is based on a spatial graphics processor, the overall data computing capacity cannot be met by the bandwidth of the wireless network.

Moreover, if it is a three-dimensional network, gigabit or ten-gigabit speeds will not work, and it will be a new standard.

Hao Cheng smiled and thought, then continued:

"This is essentially the same as the five-sense communication network we are going to study in the future. One is long-distance interconnection communication, and the other is near-field private communication, but the goals to be achieved are exactly the same.

“With the cooperation of three-dimensional data and the five-sense network, people can obtain five senses that are realistic with the real world through the device.

"The relationship between these two types of communications is the same as the current relationship between optical fiber and WiFi."

Hao Cheng thought about it and the first company he thought of was Huawei - near-field communication is also its strong point, and it is even at the top level worldwide.

In this case, let’s combine this research with the research on future communication networks and do this together with Huawei.

The idea is feasible, but there are problems. If there are problems, then solve them. Hao Cheng quickly sorted out the ideas and determined the classification.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go out for dinner together. There will be a technical summit for several days starting from this afternoon, and we can't rely on Xiaosha for everything. We also need to be more careful." Hao Cheng said.

"Of course!" Cao Song nodded solemnly - after using Xiaosha for so long, he also realized a truth, that is, the stronger his ability is, the greater his ability to exert Xiaosha's ability will be.

When Xiaosha was not around, improving oneself was necessary, and with Xiaosha, improving oneself is even more necessary.

A very simple arithmetic problem, if everyone else's score is 10, and you work hard and become 11, you just have 1 more than others.

But now we have Xiaosha, it can help you perform at 10 times your level, then everyone can reach 100.

But the 1 that you work hard to improve can even play a hundred times the role here in Xiaosha, and then it will directly become 200, which is twice as much as someone who doesn't work hard.

With the sand, you can lie flat? Not possible! Unless you don't want to lie up.

There may be such people in other places, but there are certainly no such people in Baiju Technology. One by one, they are all rushing towards Mr. Hao’s century-old goal of building the mountain of technology!

"Yeah!" Seeing this enthusiasm, Hao Cheng was very satisfied. Xiaosha's value would not be buried.
