When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Inside the reception room.

As Wang Donglai continued his narration, the atmosphere at the scene grew increasingly quiet.

It can be said that Wang Donglai's words were very bold and somewhat presumptuous.

As a businessman, he shouldn't have said those things; as a scientist, he shouldn't have said those things either.

However, Wang Donglai said it without any hesitation.

Although it wasn't said explicitly, everyone present could understand the implied meaning.

However, the leader of the working group did not show any anger or resentment, but listened quietly to Wang Donglai's speech.

Only after Wang Dong finished speaking did the middle-aged director say, "Academician Wang, we will strictly report what you said to the leadership."

“Here, we are also able to make some decisions.”

"Regarding the conditions you have proposed, I can agree to all of them within my authority, but I cannot agree to those that are outside my authority. I hope Academician Wang can understand."

Wang Donglai nodded and said, "Of course!"

"Academician Wang, the leadership has no intention of taking away Galaxy Technology. It's just that some of your company's technologies are too important. In order to protect these technologies from falling into overseas hands, we need to protect them. I hope Academician Wang can understand this."

"At the same time, Academician Wang himself is very important to China. We have always respected Academician Wang's opinions, but we have arranged for security work to be carried out covertly."

"However, starting today, covert security measures will no longer be sufficient."

"Therefore, the application to upgrade Academician Wang's security level has been approved by the higher authorities."

"At that time, professional security personnel will meet with Academician Wang."

"Secondly, the higher-ups are very pleased to see the technology and concepts proposed by your company."

"Therefore, the leaders will provide the support that is due."

"Pilot projects, assessments, promotion, and rollout all take time, and we hope Academician Wang can understand!"

"..."

The middle-aged director spoke at length.

Wang Donglai listened attentively.

After they finished talking, the meeting came to an end.

After shaking hands with Wang Donglai again, the middle-aged director finally spoke up, saying, "Having a top talent like Academician Wang is indeed our greatest fortune."

"We hope Academician Wang can develop even more and more powerful technologies!"

Wang Donglai nodded in agreement and said, "I definitely will!"

Their hands were clasped tightly together.

When the working group left, they also took with them some information provided by Wang Donglai.

This includes, but is not limited to, Galaxy Technology's existing scientific research achievements, as well as some ongoing scientific research projects and project plans that have not yet been implemented.

After the working group left, Wang Donglai and Wu Qingsong returned to their office.

Suddenly, there were no outsiders around.

Wu Qingsong finally breathed a long sigh of relief; this working group had a very high level of authority.

In ancient terms, that would be an imperial envoy.

Wu Qingsong was originally afraid that Wang Donglai would say something wrong.

Wu Qingsong's heart was pounding wildly as Wang Donglai said those words.

I was afraid it would cause a misunderstanding with the working group, but I didn't expect things to take such a turn for the better.

Judging from the final performance of the working group members, they clearly agreed with and endorsed Wang Donglai's words.

Wu Qingsong had no idea that Wang Donglai had used the [Charm Aura] skill to its fullest extent when he met the working group.

That's why I was able to persuade them so easily.

"Academician Wang, you've really given me a very difficult problem!"

Wu Qingsong said with a hint of emotion.

Wang Donglai, however, did not give Wu Qingsong any face and said directly, "Mr. Wu, there's no point in saying that."

"I wonder how many cities would want to solve this problem!"

"If Mr. Wu is truly unwilling and unable to bear the responsibility, I may leave!"

When Wang Donglai said this, a serious look appeared on his face.

It was as if he would do it if Wu Qingsong really nodded.

Wu Qingsong naturally noticed Wang Donglai's expression and was startled. He dared not gamble on this.

If it's true, then he'll be in a very awkward situation.

The entire population of Tangdu, and even the people of Qin Province, would curse him to death.

The benefits of Galaxy Technology moving its headquarters to Tangdu City have been getting better year by year.

The reason is simple: Galaxy Technology's vast technological capabilities have brought about strong economic development.

When the economy is doing well, the government has more money.

Whether it's public services or other jobs, things have become more comfortable.

As a result, ordinary people's feelings naturally improve.

"Academician Wang, I was just joking."

"As long as Galaxy Technology's headquarters are located in Tangdu City, I will do my best to safeguard the development of Galaxy Technology."

"The fact is that Tangdu City and even Qin Province have long been tied to Galaxy Technology."

"Whether it's the construction of the Tang Imperial City, the new urban development of Tang City, or the establishment of industrial parks, the arrows are already drawn and ready to be shot; there's no room for maneuver."

"I believe that with your company's help and through our cooperation, we can change some things."

Wu Qingsong spoke vaguely, but his meaning was quite clear.

Wang Donglai nodded and said, "Mr. Wu, I wasn't joking."

"What I said at the summit, that the fourth technological revolution has arrived, is not a lie."

"The development of artificial intelligence technology has exceeded all of our imagination."

"Now, with the support of quantum computers, the computing power of artificial intelligence has reached a terrifying level."

"In many aspects, the effects of artificial intelligence technology are revolutionary."

"Just like drug development, the weight loss drug we developed was developed using artificial intelligence on a quantum computing platform for three months." "Similarly, we can also use artificial intelligence technology to simulate drugs, which is more efficient and produces more accurate data than traditional methods."

“Backed by data from millions of real patients, our data is authentic and reliable, so the simulation is extremely realistic.”

"Applications and achievements like these will become the norm in the future."

“Mr. Wu, this will be a qualitative change.”

"The impact and chain reaction it brings will probably exceed your imagination!"

Wu Qingsong's face immediately turned extremely serious, and he stared at Wang Donglai, saying, "Academician Wang, could you please explain this properly?"

Wang Donglai nodded, paused for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Wu, let's start with the simplest aspect: driverless technology."

"If I told you that our self-driving technology is now ready to be used in real-world driving scenarios, and that all you need to do is set a destination, the vehicle's intelligent system can drive you there directly, what kind of impact would that technology have?"

Wu Qingsong fell into thought, but before he could speak, Wang Donglai spoke up.

"The impact is multifaceted; many people will lose their jobs."

"Taxi and ride-hailing drivers will lose their jobs, and this will also affect truck drivers and many other related workers."

"This is such a huge market; the number of people employed in it must exceed ten million."

"Even if these people are not eliminated at the same time, but eliminated one after another, it is still a huge shock."

"Not to mention, there is another problem with autonomous driving technology, namely how to divide responsibility."

"Even a small probability becomes a significant number when considering a country with such a large population."

"In the event of a car accident, how should liability be divided? Should the car manufacturer, the consumer, or the technology supplier bear the responsibility? And how should laws and regulations be amended?"

"This is a situation where one move can have far-reaching consequences."

"Furthermore, how is data security controlled?"

"If someone modifies a vehicle and remotely controls the control system of an autonomous vehicle to carry out sabotage, how can we defend against it?"

"If ride-hailing platforms like Didi, relying on the power of capital, completely monopolize the ride-hailing market, how can we prevent such giant companies from doing evil?"

"Finally, and this is only in terms of autonomous driving technology."

"There are so many things that artificial intelligence can do. Using AI technology, you can simulate a voice, create a human-made face, and chat and communicate with any netizen online without revealing any flaws!"

"It can be said that the development of artificial intelligence technology will reshape the entire human society, not only in human life, but also in all aspects, and laws and regulations must also be adjusted accordingly."

"Technology is meant to change lives, not to do evil."

"As I said, the emergence of intelligent robots can replace humans in some high-risk jobs."

"For example, firefighting at a fire scene, or working in a high-risk environment."

"Even low-end, repetitive, and tedious jobs can be replaced by robots."

“It is a huge waste to use valuable human resources to do endless repetitive work.”

Wang Donglai paused here.

It was as if he was waiting for Wu Qingsong to catch up with his train of thought, or perhaps he was organizing his thoughts.

"Mr. Wu, have you ever thought about what society will be like in fifty or a hundred years?"

"Or rather, what would you like to imagine a technologically advanced human society?"

Wang Donglai abruptly asked these two questions.

Wu Qingsong was taken aback, not expecting Wang Donglai to ask such a question.

However, he reacted quickly and gave a reply.

"Productivity has greatly flourished, and humanity has ventured into the cosmos!"

"But by that time, human society had undergone tremendous changes; the economy was unified, but the culture was diverse and colorful."

"I haven't thought about anything specific."

Wang Donglai chuckled softly and said to Wu Qingsong, "Boss, I've actually thought about it."

"Judging from the current development of science and technology, artificial intelligence technology will inevitably become the core, and I believe the leaders will not deny this!"

"Once artificial intelligence technology reaches a certain level, it will gradually replace human jobs. Repetitive jobs will be replaced first."

"For example, any clerk can handle matters online."

"The entire city and the entire country are connected by the network, and the vast majority of things can be done online and processed by artificial intelligence."

"Even tasks such as city maintenance can be completed by robots controlled by artificial intelligence."

"In fact, this is a form of communist society after the material abundance has reached its peak."

"Humans no longer need to engage in those tedious and meaningless jobs just to earn wages and support themselves."

"There will be more time to explore the meaning of life."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingsong interrupted Wang Donglai.

"Academician Wang, what you described is an ideal scenario, but it's simply impossible!"

"This is pure fantasy. Let's not even talk about whether artificial intelligence technology can reach this level. To achieve this level, how much computing power would artificial intelligence need? Even current quantum computers can't handle it, right?"

Wang Donglai laughed and said directly, "It's actually very simple. Current GPUs and CPUs really can't handle these, but we always have to look forward to technological development."

"If all the data generated by human life were stored using current storage technology, it would probably take all the silicon elements to store it."

"However, we can look for a new solution, namely DNA bio-storage technology."

"By encoding the data and storing it in tiny molecules of DNA, we can solve the problem of data storage."

A hint of doubt involuntarily appeared on Wu Qingsong's face.

DNA biostorage technology?
"In fact, scientists have proposed this since the last century."

"DNA storage technology is a groundbreaking storage technology with a forward-looking vision. It uses artificially synthesized deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as a storage medium and has the advantages of high efficiency, large storage capacity, long storage time, easy access and maintenance-free operation."

"This technology encodes data into DNA sequences and then uses chemical synthesis to create the corresponding DNA molecules. These DNA molecules can be stored for a long time, and the data can be read using sequencing technology when needed. Due to the high density and stability of DNA, this storage method is considered a very promising future data storage solution."

"One of its advantages is its enormous capacity. DNA molecules are an extremely dense storage medium; one gram of DNA can store about two petabytes of data, which is equivalent to the storage capacity of about three million CDs."

"Secondly, it has long-term preservation. Data stored in DNA can be preserved for thousands of years, far exceeding the preservation period of existing storage technologies. [2] Compared with traditional hard drives and magnetic tapes, DNA storage does not require frequent maintenance, and is therefore more reliable and durable."

"Finally, it has good compatibility. DNA storage does not involve compatibility issues, which means that future technological advancements will not make existing DNA storage data unreadable."

"Currently, Galaxy Technology has made a preliminary breakthrough by encoding songs into DNA!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingsong felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his whole body trembled.

Only one thought filled my mind: I've struck it rich! (End of Chapter)
