Chapter 495 – Evolution?
“Fine.”
Professor Yu said, “This technology is yours, so of course you can make the decision. “Speaking of which, I, as an old man, am touched by your brilliance as well …”
Ji Feng laughed, “Professor Yu, don’t say that. Actually, this was something that we did together. If it weren’t for your hard work, how could we have completed the test so quickly?”
Professor Yu smiled modestly, but he was still somewhat unwilling. “Ji Feng, if we don’t report it now, will you give priority to the country’s need for this alloy technology?”
Originally, Professor Yu had said that he would wait until the alloy’s performance was completely tested before reporting it to the relevant departments. After all, this was definitely a major discovery, and he had already told Ji Feng countless times about the significance of this discovery. If he couldn’t promote it throughout the country, Professor Yu wouldn’t be willing to accept it.
Back then when Professor Yu said he would report it, Ji Feng did not oppose, but now he suddenly suggested not to report it for the time being and just announced it to the public.
Professor Yu’s heart was beating like a drum.
Could it be that Ji Feng had other plans?
Or could it be that Ji Feng had contacted the buyer and intentionally leaked the news to attract more people to buy it, so that he could obtain the highest price?
If that was the case, then this new chromium alloy technology would not necessarily end up in the hands of the country. This was because there wasn’t only one rich country in the world, and moreover, the amount of investment in technology that many countries had was not something that Chinese experts could imagine. This was something that Professor Yu, who had interacted with foreign experts before and partic.i.p.ated in more than one world-cla.s.s academic meeting, was very clear about.
Therefore, Professor Yu wanted to ask Ji Feng, hoping that he could prioritize the needs of the country.
Ji Feng naturally understood what the professor was thinking at the moment. He smiled and said, “Professor Yu, you don’t have to worry about this, if I don’t hand this technology over to the country, then I definitely won’t hand it over to anyone else. The Tengfei Corporation is preparing to enter the industrial field, and this new alloy technology just happened to appear, so …”
Professor Yu understood that Ji Feng wanted to leave it for him to use.
In this way, Professor Yu had nothing to say. Originally, he felt that Tengfei Group was not involved in the industrial field, mainly in the field of pharmaceuticals and electrical appliances. Even if they obtained this new alloy, it would be of no use.
However, Ji Feng possessed this outrageously strong alloy. If the Tengfei Corporation wanted to enter the industrial area, it wouldn’t be a difficult task!
Putting everything else aside, even if Ji Feng only produced the same products as other companies, just by relying on this new alloy as the raw material, the quality of the products would be able to push the products of other companies in the same industry away by a few blocks.
In addition, this new chromium alloy made by Ji Feng was made from some common raw materials. Professor Yu was sure that the production cost was not high, which meant that even if this new alloy was used to produce products, the production cost would not be high.
Consumers were not idiots these days. Of course, they understood that things that were good and cheap were what they needed the most. One could imagine how the market would react once Tengfei Group launched its industrial products. This was almost entirely predictable.
No matter what, as long as the technology doesn’t fall into the hands of foreigners, Professor Yu thought to himself.
In fact, if Professor Yu had known about Ji Feng, he would not have been this worried. With his personality, even if the new alloy was mildewed in his hands, he would not hand it over to a foreigner.
At least, until more advanced alloys were made, Ji Feng would not hand them over to foreigners.
Actually, Ji Feng did not want Professor Yu to report on this matter, but he had other plans. This was not only because he wanted to use this as an excuse to suppress the Tian and Ling groups, but also because this matter was not suitable for him to discuss with Professor Yu.
The development and a.n.a.lysis of new alloys could, of course, be left to Professor Yu. However, as to how it was used, Ji Feng would definitely not give it his all.
This concerned his next series of plans, and of course he could not leave the decision to anyone else.
“Right, Professor Yu, I have another question to ask you.” Ji Feng suddenly thought of something and said, “Professor Yu, a few of my expert friends are currently conducting research and need an extremely powerful energy source. Professor Yu, do you have any good ideas?”
“Energy source?”
Professor Yu was startled, then shook his head: “That’s hard to say. You’re too vague with your words, I don’t even know the basic situation, it’s not good for me to presume …” Ji Feng, what are the research projects that the experts you mentioned, and what are the uses of the energy sources? “
Ji Feng hesitated. “This…”
For example, I know that you are researching the remote control, so I will recommend that you use batteries as an energy source. If you are researching the power station, then I will recommend that you use wind, water, or nuclear energy as an energy source. “
“And if you’re researching mechanical energy, then I’ll suggest you use electrical energy, or a variety of fuels, such as gasoline, diesel, etc.”
Professor Yu said, “The key lies in the project you are researching. It depends on what kind of energy source it is suitable for.”
Ji Feng slightly nodded his head and said, “Professor Yu, if I want to use a small scale mobile device to fire a super laser, what kind of energy source would it be best to use?”
“Super laser?”
Professor Yu pondered for a moment and said, “As far as I know, many laser transmitters use electricity, but I’m afraid it’s very difficult to have such a strong power supply for a small mobile device. This …” “Ji Feng, I can’t believe it even for a moment.”
Ji Feng was not disappointed, because Professor Yu’s field of specialization was not in the field of energy studies. Moreover, Ji Feng already knew what the source of energy for the laser gun was, but he had yet to make a decision on what to choose.
After finis.h.i.+ng his conversation with Professor Yu, Ji Feng couldn’t help but rub his chin as he fell into deep thought.
The problem of the new alloy was easy to handle, but the laser gun’s energy source was hard to choose, or, it was hard to find!
Ji Feng concentrated and entered his mind. The round intellectual brain immediately came up to him: “Master.”
Ji Feng did not waste time talking, and asked directly, “Intellectual brain, I have already developed a new alloy, according to the calculation results, it should be able to be used to make a laser gun.”
Although the alloy was completed, the inspection work was basically left to Professor Yu and a few experts from Tengfei Group. Up until now, Ji Feng had yet to see the inspection results. However, before the real experiment, Ji Feng did not know how many times he had calculated and calculated, to the point where his error could be maximized, in order to improve and refine it.
Therefore, at that time, Ji Feng already had a general understanding of the properties of this new alloy. Just now, when Professor Yu called, Ji Feng was extremely excited, so he was sure that the new alloy’s performance had exceeded his expectations.
Then, creating a laser gun, wouldn’t be too much of a problem.
If it really wasn’t possible, then he just needed to think of a way to improve it. There wouldn’t be any problem in manufacturing a laser gun, so Ji Feng came here to discuss with the intellectual brain what kind of energy source he should use.
The intellectual brain said, “Congratulations Master.”
Ji Feng was slightly taken aback, “Congratulations to me?”
“Yes, Master.”
The intellectual brain knows that its master has always wanted to make laser guns, which is why its master has been studying hard in basic courses and has been persisting in exercises. Now that its master’s wish has been granted, of course it’s worth congratulating. “
Ji Feng stared at the intellectual brain in shock and didn’t say anything for a long while.
“Master, what’s wrong?” The intellectual brain asked.
“Intellectual brain, you …”
Ji Feng frowned. His eyes flashed as he stared at the intellectual brain and asked, “Intellectual brain, are you the one who is thinking about all these?”
The intellectual brain said, “Yes, master.”
Ji Feng asked, “How did you know to congratulate me after getting what you wanted?”
The intellectual brain said, “Based on the information gathered by the intellectual brain from the outside world, an a.n.a.lysis is conducted and thinks that this is the logic of the human race. Doing so is correct.”
Ji Feng asked involuntarily: “Are you saying that you are actively gathering information from the outside world? You. Learning on your own? “
“Yes, Master.” The intellectual brain said.
“…”
Ji Feng suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of surprise.
Ji Feng had long since known that the intellectual brain could gather information about the outside world. Moreover, every time Ji Feng was in a state of cultivation, the intellectual brain would act as a warning.
However, when it came to gathering information from the outside world, other than the time when Ji Feng first met the intellectual brain, the brain was actively gathering information. Until now, the brain had never done so.
Taking the initiative to gather information from the outside world and a.n.a.lyze it, doesn’t this mean that the intellectual brain is doing its own research, or maybe even … Evolution?!
Thinking about how the intellectual brain would take the initiative to greet him, and how it was becoming more and more human, Ji Feng couldn’t help but think, could it be that the intellectual brain has been evolving all along?
If that was the case, would there be a day when the AI wasn’t just a part of the AI system? At that time, the AI system would become like a human being, possessing its own emotions and knowing how to think independently.
This conjecture caused the thoughts of Ji Feng to be extremely complicated.
If the intellectual brain could really evolve to the same level as a human’s, then there were many things that Ji Feng would undoubtedly have a good target for discussion. Especially in terms of technology, no one would be more suitable for discussion than the intellectual brain.
But …
If the intellectual brain really evolved to such a degree, thinking about it would make Ji Feng feel a faint uneasiness.
If it really reaches that point, the intellectual brain … Is it still the current AI? What would it do?
