Global monopoly of technology

"This translation software application should be as foolish as possible in terms of user experience, the simpler the better."

Luo Sheng looked at Xu Yong and said in an orderly manner: “For example, if I don’t understand English, I open an English webpage on the spot, dumbfounded and can’t understand. How can I do it? When a user enters a webpage that he doesn’t understand at all, he If your computer runs our translation service, the text information on the page should be automatically translated into his native language immediately, so that he can see it at a glance."

Xu Yong thought for a moment and then said: "Software compatibility issues will become the most prominent contradiction."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "This is not difficult. We can solve this problem through the relevant technical support of cloud computing services. Of course, we will not change the original web page, otherwise the page may crash, but we can resolve it. Then it runs in the cloud, and then presents an inherited child page on the client. The original page is the parent, and the two are independent and related."

Feng Yi's eyes lit up and said, "This is a feasible method, which can be regarded as a kind of cloud service development."

Everyone was inexplicably amazed. The idea of ​​co-authoring was probably not what the boss just wanted to go out, but had already had it last year or even longer.

The people sitting here are all capable of being engineers and developers. After a while, they realized that big data and cloud computing services will play a role in supporting the core framework. It is a prerequisite for achieving all of this, and going forward is Artificial intelligence too.

In other words, this idea can package instant translation applications in cloud computing services for sale, which can be divided into two sections: enterprise-level services and personal services.

Enterprise-level services, such as websites such as Bluestar Technology, whose social attributes and transnational characteristics, require such services. After buying such services, users of BlueSpace, Weibo MicroBlog, BluestarVideo, etc. When you log in to these websites, you don’t need to purchase them, you can use them for free, because the websites themselves have already purchased such services.

Of course, this is originally Bluestar Technology's own cloud service support, so it is naturally free.

But what about other corporate websites?For example, Microsoft, such as Google, Yahoo, etc., if they want this kind of solution, they have to buy it.

There is also a personal version too.

Luo Sheng looked at everyone and said: "If we implement strong artificial intelligence now, everything will become much easier, but this will not be achieved in a moment. Fortunately, cloud computing services allow us to optimize many application scenarios in advance. A large amount of data and sufficient computing resources are required to support it. Our solution can use distributed computing, have a large-scale data center to support the inclusion of the lexicon, and support live update of the lexicon."

In the data age, data is everything. Monopolizing data is equivalent to monopolizing the world.

Luo Sheng added: “So, in the future, Bluestar Technology should recruit professionals including linguists, engineers, analysts, statistics, etc. from around the world, as well as linguistic archeology teams. Of course, it can also directly sponsor. We also need to send a large number of offline postgraduate entrance examination teams to collect information about various cultures, customs, slang, etc., museums, libraries, etc., which are open, and those who are not open to try to convince each other. A sum of money or cooperation will do."

Xu Yong smiled and said: "It seems we have to give Wikipedia a sponsorship fee."

When these data lexicons and other information are gathered in the data center, this is a basic prerequisite. Only when the database is established can it be compared and analyzed and translated.

The creation of data centers will continue to expand, because the world is generating new vocabulary every moment, especially Internet buzzwords. This is the easiest to collect, and it is the easiest to solve the problem of collection on the Internet.

The difficult part is some niche and offline categories. You can't ignore them. Don't look at them, but they are scattered. Statistics and summary are still huge.

The database is completed, which is of great benefit to the development of artificial intelligence. It is also possible to realize the user's translation needs by developing a huge distribution system through the user's access to the data center to request analysis and then through the cloud.

In this way, massive data support can also carry the birth of primary artificial intelligence. Finally, artificial intelligence feeds back, and the birth of primary artificial intelligence can be upgraded to strong artificial intelligence. This has been proved in Luo Sheng’s previous life, so it is not There will be any doubts, it must be done.

Xu Yong pondered and said to himself: "This is a vast and boundless super data project. How much manpower, material and financial resources must be invested to achieve it?"

Luo Sheng: "Maybe thousands of people plus tens of billions, maybe more, but even if the investment is worth it, it must be done."

Feng Yi also looked at Luo Sheng and said: "The first application based on artificial intelligence is instant translation, so what about the second application?"

Luo Sheng immediately got up and brought a large curled poster on the table in the middle of the crowd. Xu Yong and others immediately went up and spread the poster, and then they all glanced curiously, and it was full. With doubts.

"This is the image of a young girl I asked the painter of the art department to draw according to my imagination." Luo Sheng looked at the image of the girl on the poster and said slowly: "Virtual, gentle, cute, delicate... Virtual singer."

Virtual singer?

Xu Yong and the others looked at each other. It was the new concept term of the boss. I had never heard of this stuff before.

Immediately he looked at the cute girl wearing headphones + electronic screen sleeves + square red headband + green double pupils and double pony tails on the poster.

Feng Yi looked at the image of the girl on the poster, scratched his head, and muttered, "Boss, how can you always come up with such strange and weird ideas?"

Luo Sheng smiled and did not answer him directly, but went straight to the topic: "The virtual idol singer program may not bring considerable profits to the company in a short period of time, and even profits will be dispensable after ten years. But it represents one of the future trends!"

Once the real virtual reality society arrives, people can trigger a real immersive interactive experience with virtual characters, which will cause a huge change in the entire society, which means that games, entertainment and other elements can be helped by high-tech equipment After crossing the barriers between virtual and reality, profits and gains will roll in by that time.

Luo Sheng looked at everyone and said one by one: "Virtual idols have the same smiles and waves as real people, but they have a beautiful figure that surpasses humans; they can sing and dance as freely as real people, but they can easily complete the high pitch and speech speed that humans cannot reach. ; Everything is illusory and virtual, only unwavering seriousness and perfection are real. We often say that technology creates the future. This sentence is used to describe virtual idols that are suitable, and their heavy sense of future is unparalleled. "

Lu Siming was stunned: "The boss's thinking is really unbelievable."

Xu Yong also asked immediately: "So you want to use artificial intelligence to create the top speech synthesis technology? One text message expression, one voice message expression, just two major applications?"

Luo Sheng snapped his fingers and smiled affirmatively: "Yes, the arrangement is clear, intelligent speech synthesis technology + imaging technology + virtual engine processing + artificial intelligence, in order to create the world's first virtual idol, behind the scenes team In addition to a team of engineers, a huge music creation team is needed. Virtual idols have an advantage that real people can’t compare. That is, virtual idols can easily master N languages, so it’s easier for globalization to harvest fans around the world."

The virtual idol on the poster comes from a world-leading artist within Bluestar Technology. His painting style has a transparent and light feel. Under the large dreamy blue, the details reflect the bluestar technology's dynamic future. .

If you want to be liked by the vast number of young people in the next ten or fifteen years, the fresh and fun concept elements of virtual idols are indispensable.

The plan was quickly arranged clearly. One is the "online cloud translation" project based on artificial intelligence, and the other is the "virtual idol" project based on artificial intelligence. Both project plans are developed under high confidentiality. Although the joint development of Star Technology is a company founded by Luo Sheng, both parties are independent accounting businesses, and the process is still necessary.

The first project team is expected to require 6,000 people to the end. This is a time-consuming and labor-intensive but absolutely value-for-money layout.

The second project team is expected to require two thousand people, or if you don’t want to play, set the goal to be the best in the world!

The financial budget is also generous. The budget for the first project starts at US$2 billion, and the budget for the second project starts at US$1 billion.
