Genius is just the threshold for me!

The second day of winter break, the weekend.

Huang Qingyao and Xia Ran, each holding a cup of milk tea, leaned against a fence on the outskirts of the base, basking in the afternoon sun.

"I'm so bored. I feel like I'm becoming institutionalized. I can't even find my vacation boring..."

Looking at the mechanical dog that was patrolling and running in the distance, Huang Qingyao couldn't help but sigh and lament, "My class monitor, Caiping and the others went back to their hometowns for the holidays."

Li Tao, Zhang Yihao, and Zhang Zihua have all gone back, leaving only us from the whole neighborhood. We can't even get enough people together for another model airplane competition.

talking.

Huang Qingyao glanced at Lin Dong and Xu Qingling, who were chatting and eating sunflower seeds on a bench not far away, holding milk tea, and then looked at Xia Ran next to her: "Ranran, the control measures aren't so strict this winter break. Aunt He has time. Aren't you going back to your hometown during the break?"

Last winter break, due to the spy's family-finding plan, everyone at the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) base was on edge, and they were also confined to their homes and unable to return home freely.

However, this year during the holiday, although there were still projects, the atmosphere and management were obviously not as tense. In addition, almost everyone's parents were assigned to one core position and one non-core position.

As soon as winter vacation began, many people were taken back to their hometowns to have fun and spend time with their grandparents.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...

"Winter in Northeast China is too cold."

Xia Ran squeezed the milk tea into her palm and said with a smile, "My dad said it's warmer here, and we can go back after the New Year or during summer vacation."

"I forgot, your hometown is in Northeast China."

Huang Qingyao slapped her forehead, then, as if remembering something, called out to Lin Dong and the other man, "Hey, you two, stop sticking together, I need to ask you something..."

"Yaoyao, what's wrong?" Xu Qingling turned her head and responded curiously.

"Call Lin Dong over here." Huang Qingyao pointed to Lin Dong, who was eating sunflower seeds and drinking milk tea.

"Qingyao, Li Tao is most interested in what happens outside the neighborhood, and you know the most about the gossip inside. What do you want to ask me about...?"

Lin Dong tossed aside the sunflower seed shells, walked over to Huang Qingyao, and said, "Asking questions is fine, but there's a charge: a cup of milk tea."

"Lin Dong, you're the son of a billionaire, how could you not be eyeing the meager pocket money of an ordinary citizen like me?"

Huang Qingyao gave a disdainful look, then lowered her voice and asked curiously, "I heard that Uncle Wang's son is bringing his girlfriend home today. Is that true?"

"Where did you hear that?" Lin Dong was taken aback.

"My cousin and Uncle Wang's son were classmates in middle school. He came to our house today during the holiday and told us about this."

"They said Uncle Wang's son posted on WeChat Moments a few months ago that he found a girlfriend, and a couple of days ago he said he was going to take her back to Chengdu. Today, when he boarded the plane, he even posted pictures of two plane tickets..."

Huang Qingyao didn't hide anything and readily revealed her source of information.

"Then I wouldn't know."

Lin Dong shrugged and said with a smile, "But my godmother was indeed preparing things and buying groceries today."

"Yao Yao!"

Xu Qingling listened to Lin Dong's answer from the side and said with a smile, "Uncle Wang's son is so much older than us, and you still want to gossip?"

"No." Huang Qingyao looked around and whispered her guess: "I checked my cousin's WeChat Moments on his phone, and it seems a bit like a spy."

"Oh?"

Lin Dong and Xu Qingling were both taken aback: "This can still feel?"

"It's very simple."

Huang Qingyao said matter-of-factly, "Uncle Wang's son is the same age as my cousin, both of them are twenty-three years old and still in college."

At this age, it's fine for Uncle Wang's son to find a girlfriend, but if he brings her home so early, Uncle Wang and Aunt Su might not be happy about it.

Also, last night when I went downstairs to throw out the trash, I happened to see Uncle Wang picking up someone who wasn't from our neighborhood and bringing them upstairs. But the two didn't seem like friends. Now that I think about it, there's a high chance it was someone from the National Security Bureau...

"Yaoyao, you're so brave!"

Xia Ran, who had been listening to their conversation, glanced at Lin Dong and said with a smile, "You already guessed it might be the National Security Bureau, yet you're still asking Lin Dong about it. Be careful you don't end up having tea with them..."

"I'm not just asking Lin Dong, I don't dare ask anyone else a single question..." Huang Qingyao said in a low voice.

"But if you ask me, I don't know either."

Lin Dong replied with a smile, "Adults won't tell me about their affairs. In short, we shouldn't pry into these kinds of things."

Done.

Lin Dong glanced at the time and said to Xu Qingling, "You guys play, I'm going to the lab to play games."

"Okay." Xu Qingling nodded with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Xu Qingling and the others, Lin Dong went to Laboratory No. 78.

Two days ago, Xingdong Company's second-generation AI chip rolled off the production line in small batches. Although it hasn't been officially released yet, Lin Weiliang has already taken a batch.

With the new AI chip, his Hot Chip can be upgraded, pet robots can be made, and another high-performance AI server can be deployed in Lab 78.

Di-

Lin Dong entered his password and fingerprint, opened the laboratory door, and a blast of warm air rushed out, instantly dispelling the winter chill outside.

Lin Dong walked in, entered the password to unlock the supercomputer screen, and the 32-inch display on the desktop and the 200-inch screen on the wall lit up at the same time.

Open Wang Xingguo's email and check if there's anything to do regarding the Red Ghost project.

Lin Dong opened his email, clicked on a file sent by Lin Weiliang, and checked the specific performance parameters and architecture information of the chip.

"The performance is okay, but the energy efficiency is still just passable... The chip manufacturing process has a significant impact on energy efficiency."

After carefully reviewing the document, Lin Dong opened an AI supercomputing architecture design diagram and began adjusting the parameters based on the specific test results.

In less than five minutes, Lin Dong adjusted the relevant parameters and sent them to Comrade Lin Weiliang to apply for the custom construction of a brand new supercomputer in Laboratory 78.

"Once the AI ​​supercomputer is established, there will be no need to use intelligent scheduling strategies anymore. In the future, when training combat models or using AI to perform other computational technologies, efficiency can be improved several times over..."

Lin Dong muttered to himself, opened the flying pet robot he had been designing over the past few days, and began to refine the final design.

His supercomputing architecture is a combination of three types of chips: AI chip, CPU, and GPU.

Because many combat strategies, aerodynamic layouts, hydrodynamics, and various formulas and data require precise calculations by CPUs and traditional GPUs, rather than using tensor calculations by AI.

This architecture is also the common architecture used for AI-assisted scientific research more than a decade later.

AI cores process big data and provide ideas and directions, while CPU and traditional GPU cores provide precise data.

However, graphics cards from the last decade or so have often integrated traditional GPU computing cores and AI tensor cores, allowing ordinary users to deploy efficient local AI models using their home computer's graphics card.

"Since the chip's energy efficiency is still a bit lacking, the power supply strategy needs to be changed..."

Lin Dong looked at the pet robot on the screen. It had two small antennae on its head, was less than 35 centimeters tall, had an adorable cartoonish design, and had a pair of slanted spiral wings on both sides. The wings could be adjusted in angle and retracted.

Move the mouse to open the system data in the background and adjust the power policy parameters.

In comparison, mechanical dogs can be loaded with various modules and can be used for both civilian and military purposes.

This AI pet robot, equipped only with owner-following mode, image recognition, communication functions, millimeter-wave obstacle avoidance, automatic charging, and the most crucial voice interaction and AI personality learning, is destined to be all about cuteness.

"Being cute is great!"

"Comrade Lin Weiliang also has a girlish heart."

Lin Dong adjusted the power strategy, opened his email, and sent the complete set of design drawings, along with more than a dozen different accessory design drawings, including the hardware strategy that needed to be flashed at the factory, to Xu Ziming.

[Uncle Xu, make a pet robot for Qingling, use PEEK material and make it exquisite... Hmm, my dad said he wants eight sets.]

"The remaining modules are the AI ​​personality module and the interaction module, which need to be integrated with flight control and flight scenarios, and we need to write our own training code."

However, the control algorithm for pure flight is still simpler than that for a mechanical dog running model.

In addition, Xingdong Company already has several million civilian robotic dogs, and the amount of interactive data is sufficient, so there is no need to collect data like with other robotic dogs...

Lin Dong saw that the email had been sent, opened the flight control algorithm he had written, and then opened another simulation system. His hands flew across the keyboard as he quickly entered lines of algorithm and code, and then he pressed the Enter key.

[Beep—AI intelligent learning mode has been unlocked and is currently in deep learning!]

boom--

The supercomputer in the lab, which had undergone several upgrades, roared to life, its performance utilization instantly reaching 100%, and a massive amount of data was refreshed on the screen...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

4:10 PM, Chengdu Shuangliu Airport.

Wang Rui and Xiao Yutong, carrying bags and pulling suitcases, walked out of the airport hand in hand.

"Baby, can I borrow your power bank? My phone is dead."

Just as Wang Rui was about to hail a taxi, Xiao Yutong checked the battery level on her phone, then immediately pulled Wang Rui's hand and said...

"Why is your phone out of battery so quickly? It's almost time to replace it..." Wang Rui stopped when he heard this, took out a power bank from his bag and handed it to Xiao Yutong.

"The battery has degraded a bit, but I can replace it when I have time and use it for a while longer. A phone costs several thousand yuan, so I should be careful..." Xiao Yutong said with a smile as she took the power bank.

As the two stopped talking, two taxis carrying other passengers drove away.

After Wang Rui and Xiao Yutong finished charging their phones, they reached out and opened the door of the third taxi. The two got in and gave each other an address.

"Chengdu Aircraft Industry Base in Qingyang District"

"Fasten your seatbelt."

The driver, a young man in his thirties with medium-length hair, started the car, pressed the odometer, turned the steering wheel to pull out of the parking space, and reminded the driver, "Seatbelt checks are stricter now."

"Okay, Master."

Wang Rui didn't suspect anything. He turned his head to look at his seatbelt, pulled it over, and buckled it into place.

As he turned his head, Xiao Yutong also pulled up her seatbelt and buckled it. At the same time, she discreetly took out a lipstick and a powder compact from a gap on the side.

"It takes an hour to get from the airport to my home."

Wang Rui glanced at the time, then turned to Xiao Yutong and said, "After we have dinner at my house, I'll go with you to find a guesthouse."

"Oh, are we going over for dinner today?"

Xiao Yutong exclaimed, "Won't your aunt and uncle mind if I go so late?"

"It's alright, just treat it as a normal visit."

Wang Rui chuckled and said, "The day before yesterday, my mom saw my post on WeChat Moments and called to ask if I was bringing you back so she could prepare for our reception..."

"Uncle didn't know, and didn't offer any opinion?" Xiao Yutong asked with some concern.

"Well--"

Wang Rui paused for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "I've blocked my dad from my WeChat Moments, but my mom has already told him."

"The screen... is blocked?"

Xiao Yutong's eyes widened, then she couldn't help but laugh: "Is this how you usually interact with your uncle?"

"Mainly because he lectures me too much, which is annoying, so I don't want him to know about my affairs," Wang Rui explained.

"Okay, sometimes my mom is like that too, she's a lot of lectures, but my dad is a bit better..."

Xiao Yutong smiled and nodded, then looked out the window.

Outside the car window, buildings of varying heights and green trees receded into the distance.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound rang out in the sky.

Several drones carrying cargo flew quickly overhead, followed by four robotic dogs running across the intersection ahead, their motors whirring.

"Is this Chengdu?"

Xiao Yutong reached out and patted Wang Rui's arm, pointing outside and exclaiming, "Baby, so many drones and robotic dogs!"

"Xingdong Company, which is responsible for the operation and production of these, is located in Chengdu, so it's normal for them to have a lot of drones and robotic dogs..."

Looking at the drones and robotic dogs outside the window, Wang Rui's expression was somewhat surprised: "But I haven't been back for almost two years, and quite a lot has changed."

"Chengdu is now a major pilot city for smart technology, and the changes are tremendous. What you see here are all delivery drones launched by Xingdong Company."

The taxi driver, overhearing their conversation, explained in a manner no different from any other driver: "When a customer places an order, the drone is dispatched. The merchant attaches the item to the drone with the corresponding number, and then the drone delivers the item to the customer."

If they run out of power, these drones will find a charging point on their own to recharge.

In addition, there are various robotic dogs for guides, firefighting, search and rescue, and pets. Chengdu now has the most drones and robotic dogs in the world, conservatively estimated to have several million drones and millions of robotic dogs...

"So many?!"

Xiao Yutong exclaimed in surprise after hearing this: "No wonder everyone online is saying that Chengdu is turning into a science fiction city..."
