385. Overlookers
The next day, Lu Zhou had just arrived at the company and passed by Cheng Xuyuan's office.
Previously, Cheng Xuyuan had never set up his own office and stayed with Weixun’s employees on a daily basis, which was convenient for development. However, as Weixun needed Cheng Xuyuan to make more decisions, his daily real code work was much less than before.
Lu Zhou opened the door and saw that there was an assistant in the office, and the manpower was recruiting quite quickly.
"Mr. Cheng, this is the plan made by Weitou overseas. Mr. Chen said you need to decide." The little assistant happened to be saying this to Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan said, "Put it here first. I'll have a short meeting with them in the afternoon. You can also communicate with Menggu Yunhai outside. Wechatou overseas needs to test in advance. You can ask their manager for an application for Chen Gong."
The little assistant nodded after hearing this, and left the office to do what Cheng Xuyuan ordered.
When Lu Zhou saw this, he also said, "This style is becoming more and more personal."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled for no reason after hearing this, "What's wrong? He didn't look like a human before?"
Lu Zhou sat on the chair opposite Cheng Xuyuan, and he smiled and said, "It was like a hard-working coder before."
Lu Zhou took the file that Cheng Xuyuan placed on the table casually, and it was unexpected to open it.
The documents are not the company's copywriting, but just some reading materials. It seems that Cheng Xuyuan's learning path has not stopped.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Why, have you found out Boss Yao's things to replenish your body?"
It is all about theoretical computer science, and it is quite old. There are a few documents made by Academician Yao Qizhi.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled bitterly, "I haven't sat outside, and I don't have much time to write code every day. If I don't look through and review some theoretical things, I'll think it's a reinforcement."
Luzhou is just listening and flipping through it casually.
Academician Yao had already returned to China a few years ago, and now he is also teaching in Huaqing. Therefore, the computer experimental class established by Huaqing is often called "Yao Class".
Lu Zhou said, "When we were still in school, we also made a big shot and discussed it."
Lu Zhou asked with a little unclear memory, after all, it was really too long.
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and said, "I don't know if it's a discussion. I'm young and don't understand anything. I can tell a book of heaven, so I can't do it?"
Lu Zhou smiled, "That's true."
Cryptography, computing complexity, quantum computing, and Academician Yao’s academic achievements are mostly groundbreaking. Several achievements in the 1980s are all important components of modern cryptography. The concept of “communication complexity” proposed by the proposed concept is still a popular research field twenty years later. In the 1990s, important research on quantum Turing machine models, quantum cryptography, etc. were introduced casually.
Cheng Xuyuan said, "How many years will I be born late? Isn't I going to take the Yao class exam?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It seems like you can't figure it out now?" Moreover, if you really can't get it, you'd better not dream.
What Lu Zhou said is actually true. Although Cheng Xuyuan only participated in the work as a bachelor's degree and studied less books for a few years, he had done too much project and really thought about the theory. He just took more time and could always figure out the general idea.
This is also due to the influence of the existence of the Seven Star Laboratory. Although Seven Star is not very large in scale, the research directions it is involved in can be said to be varied. Lu Zhou has been following up and learning, Cheng Xuyuan is, Fang Qiang is, and Wen Xuwei is. Otherwise, sometimes the theory of the results is there, and can engineers who don’t understand anything even engineers can engineer it?
For them, it is probably necessary to understand it, otherwise they would not be able to communicate with the researchers of Qixing and the results would not be transformed. Luzhou was almost in a mess, and all the research involved in Qixing was superficial. The rest of the people were more about learning whatever the company needed, and some of the team members in the company were no exception.
Lu Zhou said, "I went to Qixing in the morning and heard Cao Wencong talk about quantum annealing. I can't even say what the gang of people in the laboratory are doing now."
Cheng Xuyuan said nothing, "At least I am still interested and can spend some extra time to learn about it. However, in theory, quantum computing is probably a lifetime series."
Lu Zhou shook his head slightly, "I don't know."
At least he hasn't seen it yet.
The future he knew was still the world of classic computers, and various genius ideas and theories did not enter reality.
A few years ago, the research of the University of Science and Technology opened the door to quantum communication applications. In the future, China's research in the field of quantum communications has also reached the forefront of the world.
But, just like fifty years ago, people believed that humans could control "controllable nuclear fusion" in fifty years, today, everyone is still looking at the future.
Lu Zhoudao, "Some algorithms may not necessarily require real quantum computers. At least research is meaningful and will also be helpful for research in the field of artificial intelligence, I think."
Cheng Xuyuan shrugged slightly after hearing this, "I don't know much about this. The things in the laboratory are very scattered, many of them are just internal ideas and discussions. I'm not sure if they can be applied to artificial intelligence."
"By the way, betago, are you planning to learn the same way as ibm dark blue in the past, wanting to do a Go program and then fight with people?"
Lu Zhou nodded, "Just try, there should be some similar tasks in the world. I think that since Longan has already existed, it should be a good topic to build a huge system of artificial intelligence while upgrading the hardware while building a huge system of artificial intelligence."
Cheng Xuyuan, "Emm...I am also paying attention to research related to Qixing and betago. But are you sure that Lizhi Technology's capabilities are enough to support AI acceleration hardware?"
Lu Zhou smiled, "It shouldn't be there now, it's just the beginning. If possible, more than one billion will be invested in Lizhi Technology in the next two or three years."
Cheng Xuyuan had no expression after hearing this. He had taken Qixing’s information to check, so he also learned about what Lizhi Technology had to do. In this chip field, one billion investment in two or three years, it sounds quite large, but it may not be possible to make a splash.
Cheng Xuyuan said, "I don't think there is no need to worry. Although some systems of WeChat are used in AI, it is difficult to increase revenue or profits in terms of improvement."
Lu Zhou shook his head directly. He understood what Cheng Xuyuan meant. He said nothing more than the limited ability to do at present. If the financial pressure is too great, it should be postponed for a while.
"That's it. Playing Go seems useless. However, sometimes the accounts have to be confused. If I say that AI will be an important technical application in the future, I think you should not find any reason to object."
Cheng Xuyuan, “That’s right.”
