Chapter 228 Jiang Duo's New Direction
"Chengfeng, please give me some advice on the future direction."

"You said."

"Before the team left the previous company, they had already developed a security inspection machine, and I wanted to use it as the main product in the initial stage."

"Your strength is software, why do you want to do hardware?"

"You may not know that in the domestic market, it is difficult to charge for pure software. The business model can only be established if there is a solution that integrates software and hardware."

“If you launch this device at a new company, will there be any patent trouble?”

"I signed an agreement that I could not use the original code directly, and within two years, I could not commercialize previous inventions."

"So, it only takes two years to modify the source code and it can be commercialized?"

"Yes, it's a good time to use this time to expand the market."

“Is the product competitive?”

“When traditional security inspection machines find suspicious items, such as knives or explosives, they will simply circle them in red on the screen, and then they will be manually identified by the naked eye.

I can use machine vision technology to accurately identify all dangerous goods without human intervention.”

“Very advanced, is the market big?”

"It is very large and will be used by aviation, docks, military industry, public security and confidentiality agencies. We can strive to replace the original outdated equipment."

"replace?"

“There is also new construction, but the main focus is on upgrading.”

"That's going to be trouble."

"what's wrong?"

“Does the customer have the budget to replace the equipment?”

"This requires guidance from various administrative departments before the budget can be allocated."

“It is very difficult for companies that are not first-class brands to guide demand. Although your products improve efficiency and represent advanced productivity, will the workers replaced by machines lose their jobs?”

"This is a matter for the customer to consider. What does it have to do with me?"

"Why not? If using your device affects employment, you will encounter many obstacles."

"Hmm," Jiang Duo seemed to be thinking about something.

"Based on your market experience, you should know that any vertical field has a mature interest chain and vested interests. Why would you want to move other people's cheese?"

"You're right. It seems that we need more detailed research and cannot just look at the market size."

"Yeah, if you see a beautiful woman on the street, you can't just take her home with you, right? If you see beautiful flowers on someone else's balcony, you can't break into the house and take the flowers away, right? You have to look in the mirror first to see if you have what it takes."

"You're right. There is indeed a gap to cross from product to order."

"I participated in the product planning of my ex-girlfriend's company. They are very professional and have a complete system."

"Then can you send it to me for reference?"

"Ok."

In the next two weeks, Jiang Duo and core employees contacted potential channels and customers, asking various questions. After everything was summarized and analyzed, the scumbag sighed:
"Alas, I never expected that such advanced equipment could not be sold."

"It's still because of my weak foundation. If I had enough high-level connections, these wouldn't be a problem."

"Then let's put the security check machine aside for now and discuss my second business plan instead."

"What else do you want to do?"

“Return to the old business, focusing on AI big models, deep learning software frameworks and open source foundations.”

"These are all money-burning projects. How can you survive?"

"I got a lot of money from my last company, and I can apply for government subsidies. In addition, my roommate who is doing his doctorate is very interested in this. He helped me find funding last time, and this time he plans to invest on his own."

“That’s not bad. Tell me, what are the pain points of AI today?”

“How to keep the big model framework leading, and how to coordinate resources between various platforms at home and abroad.

Of course, computing centers also have many problems, such as insufficient power when deployed centrally, expensive GPUs, liquid cooling, high-bandwidth memory, and high-speed switches. "

“You still have to build on your strengths and business experience.”

"How about a software framework with a large model as the core?"

"We can also engage in multi-platform heterogeneity, that is, cross-platform computing power tuning, to generate revenue and profits."

“You want me to operate with light assets and provide technical services to a computing center with huge investment?”

"Yes."

"That's great, you and I have the same idea, so it's settled." Jiang Duo was ecstatic.

"You've finished your story, it's my turn to ask for help."

"Is there anything I can do to help you? That's rare. Just tell me and I'll do my best."

"I have accepted a mission to bring back a small piece of Ouyang Fei's flesh and blood and a small amount of your soul." "How do you want me to help you?"

"Work with me to find a solution."

"Hey, Chengfeng, you overestimate me. Whether it's AI reasoning or the level of cultivation, you are much higher than me. If even you don't know, where can I find it?"

"It's a bit unreasonable, but there's no rush. You can just let it go. Who knows, maybe one day you'll have an idea and get some inspiration?"

"I've made a note of it. If I find any, I'll tell you."

After staying there for more than half a month, Ning Chengfeng's spirit returned. After a check, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Lingxi's divine essence is actually lost. It seems that I can't bring back anything except my soul. But why can I bring her with me?" He pondered over it but couldn't figure it out.

More than two years have passed, Susan's flying knife skills have made great progress, Zhenwen has also mastered a water-based martial art, but Ning Chengfeng has not yet mastered "freezing".

Life was monotonous and boring. Susan had long been bored with his "pretense of innocence". Her eyes towards Zhenwen became increasingly soft and ambiguous.

The two people who are in love with each other, despite their depression, can't help themselves, and often go to "check in" and set up a barrier to start "dual cultivation".

After each "training", the couple would be beaming with joy, which made Ning Chengfeng complain sourly: "Are you cold in there?"

"It's not cold, it's quite hot. Do you want to try it?" Life was boring, so Susan tried to make the best of it and deliberately teased with a fiery look.

"Forget it, I'm afraid of the cold." He had long seen that this woman was bold in words, but would give in when it came to "actual combat".

"Hmph, boring."

When he was stimulated too much, he would also have wild thoughts: "If Zhenwen is not included, it might be a different version?"

He suppressed his restlessness, and after a few months, he finally mastered the "freezing" technique; the second move "transforming into water" was practiced much faster, and in less than two years, he had already achieved some success.

"I've been locked up in this damn place for nearly five years. I'm a virgin and I'm almost giving birth to a baby. When I get out, I must extract the ghost woman's soul and refine her spirit, only then will I feel relieved." Susan gnashed her teeth in hatred.

While the two friends were living a life of debauchery, Ning Chengfeng was alone comprehending the final move, "Turning Gold".

"It's a good thing I didn't choose you. You're actually a cultivation maniac and seriously lack interest. You're far worse than Zhenwen." Susan looked at him with contempt.

"I'm still good. I'm good at food, wine, and traveling. I'm also good at cooking, but due to the environment, I can't put it into practice. I can only concentrate on training."

"Really? I didn't see that. Show me your hands."

"I don't want to show it. You belong to someone else and I'm not passionate about you anymore." Ning Chengfeng joked.

"Hey, Zhenwen, let me make it clear to you first. You haven't been chosen yet. You are just ranked first temporarily. Do you understand?" Having said that, the beauty's eyes were full of love.

"I understand, but I will definitely stand out. Maybe when I get out, you will already have my child." Zhenwen was polite, but he seemed to be sure of you.

"We are both at a high level of fusion. If you want me to get pregnant, you'll have to try your best. By the way, have your little kidneys been sore lately?" Susan asked "kindly".

"One thing, just meditate for a while."

Ning Chengfeng practiced hard for a year but still couldn't get the hang of it. Zhenwen's soul protection net was no longer effective. If he replaced it with Susan's, in four more years, if they still hadn't left the Blue Palace, the three of them would be in danger.

One day, he was once again provoked by the affectionate couple, and suddenly he had an idea:
"The second move has transformed the soul energy into 'water'. If we use the reverse deduction of 'gold produces water', can't we 'turn it into gold'?"

Ning Chengfeng was overjoyed and hugged the "annoying" couple, thanking them for their encouragement. Moreover, he thought of something more important.
"Chengfeng, it's just a matter of practicing one sword technique. Is it that serious?" The beautiful woman said with disdain on her face.

"I may have found a way to break the ice."

"What? Seriously?" the lovers said in unison.

"Didn't we first discuss using fire to turn ice into water?"

"Yes."

“Instead of turning water into gas or containing it in a small space, it is better to reverse the ‘gold produces water’ and shrink it into gold.”

"Brother Jin, you are amazing. In this way, we only need to identify a direction to dig a tunnel and escape."

"Wow, Chengfeng, you saved me. No, I have to give you extra points!" Susan cried with joy, rushed over and gave him a very bouncy hug.

"You don't have to work for nothing. You can practice and break the ice at the same time."

"how to say?"

“We don’t have the ability to cultivate fire, so we simply don’t use fire to melt the ice. Susan uses the law to transform ice into water, while Zhenwen transforms water into gold.

I cultivate both water and gold, and can participate in both processes, but I want to cultivate 'gold transformation' and mainly participate in the second step, so Susan will be under more pressure. "

"It doesn't matter. I've neglected my cultivation over the years playing with Zhenwen. This is a good opportunity to make up for it."

The three of them saw the light again and were full of passion. Susan tried her best, but after two hours, she was defeated.

"No, the palace is made of blue ice, and with the protection of the formation, it would be too slow for me to turn it into water by myself."

The two "fish" had no choice but to show their magical powers and join the action of dripping water through stone. It took nearly a year to chisel a gap in the palace wall built by Lan Yanbing.

Outside the wall was thousand-year-old black ice, which was of much inferior quality. Although it was aided by the formation, the speed of advancement was still much faster.

They left countless metal spheres along the way. Ning Chengfeng had mastered the "Gold Formation" to a small degree, and was able to refine a bit of Zhenwen's soul into light-colored soul gold, which he could stick to the Lan Yan Knife for himself to devour.

The closer to the outer edge of the iceberg, the faster the reversal. After more than half a year, a tunnel leading to the outside world was finally dug.
