Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1240: Five Million a Year. Want to Come to Starscream?

Starry Sky Technology building downstairs.

Wang Wei walked down from the Mercedes-Benz and gently straightened his tie. He looked up at the majestic tall building and took a deep breath.

Soon, he will meet someone who is extremely important to the smooth wind group.

Although this man was neither wanted by the State nor a big man in the business world, he did not feel half as relaxed in his heart, but created a slight tension that had not existed for a long time.

Because while the man is not a political dignitary with the right to lean wild or a big businessman calling for rain, his position is not at all inferior to the first two, and even if they were added together, it would be difficult to compare them to his.

There's no other reason.

Without being pushed to the edge of the era, the limit a politician can reach is simply a continuation of the prosperity of a country or region, and the bottlenecks of a businessman are narrower enough to bring a company to trillions of market values, essentially the limit that an entrepreneur can reach.

But he's different.

Perhaps he is not the richest man in the world, nor has he ever entered the centre of power, but even if times change, his name will remain eternal and become a symbol in the world.

As the Times magazine rated him - a treasure of human civilization as a whole - his glory is both the pinnacle of the human mind.

With this slight respect, he took a step towards the steps in front of him, but at this point a voice came from behind him.

“Friend, $5 million a year. Want to come to Starscream? ”

When he heard the voice coming from behind, Wang Wei immediately looked back and saw a young man looking at himself with a smile.

In an instant, Wang Wei recognized the identity. Wang Wei first stunned slightly, and then smiled sharply on his face.

“Sure, sure! The annual salary of 5 million is three times higher than my current annual salary. Master Lu is so impressed. How dare Wang resign? Before joining the company, I wanted to ask if I could exchange half of my annual salary for shares, which would be paid to me in the form of a year-end award. After all, this year's salary is too high, paying taxes is painful! ”

The ark was originally meant to be a joke, but I didn't expect him to say yes. Instead, I was embarrassed to continue flirting with him, so I smiled and said.

“This is not good, Mr. Wang is also a ten-billion-dollar man, and he still thinks about my shares. ”

Wang Wei sighed, “Master Lu is joking, and not to mention that hundreds of billions of dollars are nothing in front of you. I'm afraid only people who don't even care about money will remember those shares of Sky Technology. ”

In response to Wang Wei's statement, the Ark did not answer the phone, but revealed a friendly smile.

Speaking of fate, this thing is amazing.

He still remembers that when he was still undergraduate, Mr. Wang, who was worth 10 billion at the time, offered him half a million a year's salary to give up his studies to work in Shenzhen, but instead of accepting his offer, the Ark completed his studies on schedule. He went abroad to teach and eventually returned home to carry the flag of Chinese academia.

It's been almost a decade now.

Mr. Wang is still a ten-billion-dollar family member, but he has changed from the original poor student to the world-facing business card of the academic community in China today.

Think about it, it's really emotional.

Actually, half a million a year may not look like much in 2023, but it was a good number nine years ago. This is almost an irrefutable condition, especially for a student who has just finished sophomore year and is still worried about her living expenses.

The Ark admitted that if he hadn't seen the wider future from the system, he might have actually accepted the offer and embarked on a path of "industry-entry".

Following this life trajectory, perhaps he has now embarked on a completely different path than he is now...

Not staying at the door all the time, after a few cold sentences, the two guests walked towards the interior of the building, and the reception of the ceremonial staff arrived in the ready VIP reception room.

The secretary in charge of the reception poured tea for the two and then turned away from the meeting room and took the door.

A sip of hot tea moistened Run Song Zi. Wang Wei looked at the decoration in the guest room and said with emotion.

“The reception room is a business card of a company, and I can tell from this decoration that Master Lu is a man of character. ”

When he heard the compliment, the ark laughed embarrassingly.

In fact, he hasn't interfered in the decoration of the Group building, after all, he doesn't come here often himself. However, his emotional intelligence was not enough to dismantle others' platforms on the question of the end of such a fine branch, and so he received the compliment.

“Thanks for the compliment. ”

“This is not a compliment,” Wang Wei laughed and suddenly had a few emotions. "In fact, nine years ago, I felt that your future development was definitely not easy, and I was wondering if I could pick up a leak with 500,000 annual salary, but I still didn't think that I underestimated your potential. ”

“Although you can't be a partner at work, you can't lose a partner at the business," Ark laughed and said softly, "Why don't you keep it cold till lunch, let's get straight to the point. I heard from my CEO, what technical difficulties have you encountered? ”

“Yes,” Wang Wei continued, pointing down, “in fact, we've been studying your paper for some time now. ”

The Ark thought for a while and said, "Which article are you referring to? ”

He sent a little more papers, just to put it that way, he really can't remember which one this Wang is referring to.

“The one about the drone logistics system.” Speaking of which, Wang Wei sighed softly, "said the engineer at our institute, who spent several years drilling according to the blueprint you presented in your paper, still hasn't seen much success. We can't think of any better way to do this now besides asking for your help. ”

That's the original paper.

As soon as Wang Wei asked about this, the heart of the Ark was a little crying.

If he remembers correctly, the ten papers should be the ones he dropped on the water magazine to scrub the data for in order to complete the system task.

Although it cost him 25 points to redeem, except for a few algorithms developed to half, nothing of substance was solved. It would be strange if he could still work out one according to the plan!

“… that was just something that arose when I was a student, and could not be taken as a reference for the research results of the Eight Scriptures. ”

As soon as he heard the Ark, Wang Wei hurriedly said.

“Master Lu, you are too modest! But to tell you the truth, studying drone logistics is not entirely out of your papers, but we have always invested resources in this concept as a research and development direction. ”

“After all, the cost of hiring a courier is around $10,000, and the price of a drone is less than $8,000. And in terms of efficiency, drone flexibility in space makes it easy to cross areas where people and vehicles take a lot of time to reach. In contrast, we only need to pay cheap electricity and basic maintenance costs for drones. ”

“We are currently planning to launch an unmanned distribution pilot in Shenzhen, and even say hello to the local government, but our research and development efforts are now in bottlenecks. ”

After a moment of reflection, the ark said, "Can you elaborate? ”

Wang Wei nodded and continued.

“The problems we encounter are mainly reflected in two things: one is security and the other is delivery efficiency. To be clear, it is important to balance the safety of goods with the safety of pedestrians, and to adapt to dynamic traffic. Especially in high-density areas such as first-tier cities, where aerial areas are strictly controlled. ”

“The bottom line between us and the city is to ensure zero occupancy accidents within the six-month trial run period. This means that it is possible to renew our license plates only if one traffic accident does not occur. And if a drone or cargo falls from the sky and hits a person in the last six months, the license plates of the entire drone distribution pilot will be revoked directly. ”

The ark nodded down.

“This is really a little tricky. ”

“It's harder than that," Wang Wei chuckled and continued, "the test is too late to pass. The director of our institute told me that if we don't lower the standards, he won't know what to do. ”

In fact, drone delivery is not new, and in remote areas where people and vehicles are inaccessible, Shunwun Group tried to get the drone into the distribution a few years ago.

However, this technology has not been replicated due to costly problems.

That is, in recent years, breakthroughs in nuclear fusion technology have completely liberated production capacity, depressed the prices of many industrial goods and reduced the cost of electricity to a negligible extent, thus making it possible to spread the technology comprehensively.

Nonetheless, they encountered difficulties in extending the application of this technology from remote mountainous areas to cities.

After all, it is too dangerous to fly drones randomly in heaven in densely populated cities, especially in populated areas such as front-line cities. If one falls down and smashes a person or a car, compensation alone is estimated to be enough for them to lose their homes.

Not to mention some poorly qualified passers-by, who may have lost a minimum of awe because they were being delivered to drones, took the initiative to shoot down drones with slingshots, stones and other things, and picked them up by express mail.

Therefore, they are now in great need of a programme capable of perfectly harnessing the avant-garde concept of "drone logistics”. After seeing the news of the completion of Xinghai No. 1 quantum supercomputing center, Wang Wei moved the idea of cooperating with Starscream Technology, especially thinking that the ship seemed to have studied the unmanned aerial vehicle logistics system before, which became stronger and stronger.

After patiently listening to Wang Wei, the index finger of the ark gently tapered on the table. After a moment of reflection, he said, “I think I know your problem. ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Wei cheered up and sat upright. Yet he was stunned by his next sentence just when he thought the Ark would make any remarks.

“… to be honest, this is not really a big deal. ”

“No, it's not a big deal?” With an incredible look on his face, Wang Wei asked in haste, "What do you mean by that? ”

“It means literally. ”

Paused for a moment, the ark continued.

“In fact, the use of drones in the logistics sector has already been done by pilot plants in the Jinling High-tech Park, although for reasons of cost and safety it has not yet been promoted. ”

“For example, the ‘Worker Bee' logistics unmanned aerial vehicle distribution system, which is provided by Xinghai I with cloud computing services, has a single unmanned aerial vehicle with a maximum safe load of approximately 10kg and is mainly used to work with automated logistics vehicles to complete the operation of single product parts between machining workshops. ”

Saying, the ark looked at the table below and stood up from the chair.

“In that case, you probably don't understand what I'm saying. ”

“Well, there's time now. ”

“If you're interested, I'll show you. ”
