Rule system

At noon, Capital International Airport.

Zhao Yi's flight arrived on time. He got off the plane and walked out of the airport with the flow of people. He saw a sign saying'Welcome, Zhao Yi'.

The one who came to pick him up was a young man with glasses. His name was Xu Lei. He looked less than 30 years old. He was a little scholarly and gentle. He was a doctoral student only after introduction.

"I just came from Xiamen and work in the school's intelligence and automation laboratory."

"Take a day off today, Professor Luo asked me to pick you up."

"Student Zhao Yi, your'screening method' is really powerful. I studied the paper carefully, and there are some places that I can't understand at all. Are you really a high school student?"

Xu Lei closed the car door and said with a wry smile, "After reading your paper, I think the books are all for nothing."

Zhao Yi smiled.

Along the way, Xu Lei was talking about the screening method and asked a few related questions.

Zhao Yi gave a general explanation. For fear that Xu Lei thought too deeply and caused traffic safety problems, he hurriedly led the topic to Xu Lei's work.

Xu Lei talked about the intelligence and automation laboratory.

The Intelligence and Automation Laboratory of Yanhua University is a combination of the machine perception laboratory of the university and the IoT engineering laboratory of Xiamen. Because it is the merger of two key laboratories, it has also received the attention of the school and the region.

Intelligence and Automation Laboratory, the main research field of machine perception, intelligent motion picture discrimination and other fields.

"Our latest research is computer feature recognition and color recognition. This project is also very high-end in China." Xu Lei worried that Zhao Yi did not understand, and gave a very clear explanation.

Zhao Yi listened with interest.

Computer feature recognition and color recognition don’t sound like a big deal, but the actual difficulty is very high.

For example, color recognition.

Regardless of the dynamic images irradiated by the camera, just identifying the color of a fixed image is also a very complicated matter.

This is completely different from computer "drawing".

The computer "drawing" is to follow the instructions, call the relevant color code from the inside, and reflect it on the screen. The recognition of the color first needs to be input.

The color of a captured picture, as the complexity of the input, is more difficult than recognizing the text in the image.

This involves computer graphics.

Graphics is a major branch of computers, and it is very important for the development of computers. Robot intelligence requires "dynamic image input". Graphics is an important field that cannot be avoided.

It's like human eyes. The eyes can tell what they see. If you lose your eyes, just relying on touch and hearing will definitely affect your life.

The two talked all the way.

Xu Lei took Zhao Yi to a hotel near Yanhua University. After checking in, he left a phone number for Zhao Yi and asked him to contact him if he had any questions.

Zhao Yi took a taxi to the first destination: Zhouyu Interactive Technology Co., Ltd.

Zhouyu Interactive Technology is located in the science and technology park in the northern part of the capital, about ten kilometers away from Yanhua University. The distance is neither far nor near. Fortunately, the traffic in the capital is not like more than ten years later, and the non-working hours are still smooth.

Zhao Yi called Zhang Zhen in advance. When he arrived at the company downstairs, he didn't see Zhang Zhen, so he walked directly to the front desk.

The receptionist girl is very cute. She found that Zhao Yi was very young, and she smiled and asked, "Hello, this is Zhouyu Interactive Technology... Are you here to apply?" She said and looked at the form in her hand. , "The interview in the technical department is scheduled for tomorrow."

"It's okay." Zhao Yi looked at the little girl at the front desk, approached and asked with a smile, "I want to ask if you can hire other positions in your company?"

"What position?"

Zhao Yi asked seriously, "Admirer of the beauty at the front desk? Are you recruiting?"

"You guy!"

The little girl at the front desk blushed and smiled, and looked up and down Zhao Yi carefully.

[Sister, goal: Wang Qian, learn coins +1.

"Zhao Yi!"

A shout came from nearby.

A middle-aged man with a beard and beard walked over quickly and shook hands with Zhao Yi enthusiastically, "Welcome! Welcome! It's so welcome! I'm sorry, it's a bit late, I just have something to deal with."

It is Zhang Zhen.

Wang Qian asked suspiciously, "Manager Zhang, who is he?"

"Guest! This is a distinguished guest! The designer of the Rubik's Cube calculator, a genius high school student! His thesis..." Zhang Zhen successively put a bunch of titles on Zhao Yi, and then enthusiastically pulled Zhao Yi into it.

Zhao Yi walked back and raised his eyebrows towards Wang Qian.

Wang Qian smiled and covered her face.

Sister, goal: Wang Qian, learn coins +2.

"This is fine too?"

"Just now it was one study coin, now it is two... It seems that status and status are also helpful for sultry sisters."

Zhao Yi summed it up and followed Zhang Zhen into the reception room.

He sat for a while.

Zhang Zhen had been busy all the time, as if he couldn't stop at all. He heard a few screams from afar, and later he changed a technician and made Zhao Yi a cup of coffee.

More than an hour later, Zhao Yi saw Zhang Zhen again.

There is also a young man with short hair who is with him. The young man with short hair is very young. At first glance, he is in his early twenties and just graduated from university.

Zhang Zhenlian said a few words of apologies before introducing, "This is Yuan Zhongchen, the best young man in the technical department."

Zhao Yi immediately took a high look.

At such a young age, Zhang Zhen can be evaluated as "the best in the technical department", and the individual's technical ability must be very prominent.

The two shook hands.

Zhang Zhen panted and sat down and talked about what happened just now, "I'm so sorry, but the company has had a major event in the past two days. The management decided to cut off the robot operating system project."

"why?"

"funding problem."

Zhang Zhen spoke carefully.

At the beginning, the company planned to invest money to develop a complete robot operating system, but when it reached the formal development stage, it found that it was a bottomless pit with no results.

The operating system is not so easy to design. It is just a simple operating system for robots. The research and development time will last for several years. Just enriching the algorithm library has cost millions of dollars and invested a lot of technical personnel.

This investment is not necessarily rewarding.

Even if the robot operating system is successfully developed, the next step is to design related smart products.

This is the point of contradiction.

If you skip the robot operating system, you can also develop the corresponding product. It's just a little more complicated for coding and maintenance, but it's much easier than developing an operating system, and it pays off to develop a product directly, and it's easy to pull it with a product. To investment.

and many more.

Considering a series of factors, the high-level meeting made a decision to terminate the research and development of the robot operating system.

This makes some people dissatisfied.

Zhang Zhen supports the development of the robot operating system. He is also the manager of the technical department. Yuan Zhongchen is also one of the supporters. There are still some people in the technical department who support them. They are very dissatisfied with the decision and even threatened to "resign".

After two days of argument, the company decided to let them go out independently.

After hearing it for a long time, Zhao Yi summed up, "In other words, are you not in Zhouyu now?"

"I am still here."

Zhang Zhen said, “I’m a manager, and I can’t just resign. Some people in the company also support the R&D system. After all, they have invested so much. The final decision is to form a team independently and cooperate with the company. You can use the company’s internal data, Research and development results, but you must pull investment by yourself."

He pointed to Yuan Zhongchen and said, "Zhongchen is the head of the Yutu robot team."

"Yitu Robot?"

Zhao Yi frowned.

Yuan Zhongchen smiled a little embarrassedly, "I got the name, the universe, and the grand plan, which means we will succeed!"

Zhao Yi was not thinking about this, but associating'Yutu' with'Yuan Zhongchen', and the memory in his mind suddenly came out.

Yutu Robot!

Yuan Zhongchen!

Isn't this just selling the robot operating system to teams and founders across the country and the world?

Star team!

Celebrities!

Zhao Yi suppressed the surprise in his heart and followed Zhang Zhen to the room on the far left.

That became the office of the Yutu robot team.

The decision-making level of Zhouyu Interactive is not a fool. They cannot completely expel the robot team. Team members are very capable. The decision-making layer just decides not to increase investment, but the robot team can still use the company's resources, and Zhouyu Interactive also takes over A certain share of the team.

This is a pure partnership.

Now the Yutu robot team has just been formed. There are only five poor people, including the person in charge Yuan Zhongchen. Zhang Zhen continues to be in the technology department of Zhouyu, and can only be considered as half a member at most.

Zhao Yi entered the room.

Zhang Zhen took the initiative to talk about the robot operating system.

"Do you think there is a reward for developing a robot operating system?" As soon as Zhang Zhen spoke, everyone else looked over.

They are also at a loss.

If the company invests in research and development together, it does not matter if there is a return, they just work with their wages.

It's different now.

They made up their minds to become independent and set up a studio that cooperated with the company. If they couldn't get the investment, the individual would not even have a salary, and there would be no return in the future, everything would be a waste of work.

Everyone in the office, including Yuan Zhongchen, is in a state of uncertainty.

"Of course there is a return."

Zhao Yi said with certainty, "The underlying operating system is the most important thing, just like Microsoft, developing operating systems, the future return model, the most important thing is operating system sales and providing technical support!"

"The future will be the era of intelligence, including education, medical care, social networking, services, etc., will have a demand for intelligence. Think about it, if the intelligent system in each field uses the operating system you developed, what will it be like Prospects?"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Zhang Zhen immediately applauded vigorously, and said, "That's great." The others also quickly applauded.

The applause stopped.

Zhang Zhen came over and smiled and asked, "Zhao Yi, you are so optimistic about the robot operating system, are you interested in...investing? Don't worry, don't let you lose, as long as you invest two million, we will give you..."

He looked at Yuan Zhongchen, Yuan Zhongchen gritted his teeth and said, "20% of the shares!"

Zhao Yi opened his mouth wide when he heard, he was really startled.

And... such a good thing?
