Chapter 38: Low-Level Artificial Intelligence Development

Low-Level Artificial Intelligence Development

A book slowly formed in Elder Shu’s hands. Seeing the cover of the book, a smile appeared on Chen Mo’s face, and it slowly grew wider.

Artificial Intelligence, this was the hottest research topic at the moment.

He had seen books about High-Level Artificial Intelligence on the bookshelves, but currently, he simply did not have the permission to touch any books related to High-Level Artificial Intelligence.

But Low-Level Artificial Intelligence was still Artificial Intelligence. Chen Mo was overjoyed.

He never imagined that sharing the Chinese Character Programming Language would actually grant him the technology for Low-Level Artificial Intelligence Development. It was like a pie falling from the sky and hitting him.

“Don’t celebrate too early. This only teaches you the development method; it doesn’t give you the source code for an Artificial Intelligence,” Elder Shu said.

“It’s pretty much the same,” Chen Mo said with a laugh.

Letting you copy the answers and telling you the problem-solving approach were fundamentally different. But once you got the problem-solving approach, as long as the final result was correct, it was all the same.

“There’s a big difference.”

Elder Shu shook his head.

“The source code for an Artificial Intelligence… Unless you copy and paste it, every created Artificial Intelligence is different. The code and the Programming Language are like the genes of the Artificial Intelligence.”

“There’s such a distinction?” Chen Mo was full of surprise.

“It’s like you having a child. Although all children born are children, their gender, intelligence, and whether they have congenital defects are fundamentally different. Ultimately, it’s because their genes are different, meaning their source code and Programming Language are different.”

“What do you mean, me having a child?”

Chen Mo found this amusing; the statement sounded strange no matter how he heard it.

“It’s just an analogy, but creating an Artificial Intelligence is quite similar to you having a child,” Elder Shu chuckled. “The framework of Artificial Intelligence is set. As for what your ‘genes’ are, that depends on your own efforts.”

After saying this, he slapped the book in his hand into Chen Mo’s head.

“There’s one more thing I need to tell you.”

“Please go ahead,” Chen Mo said, while simultaneously recalling the knowledge about Low-Level Artificial Intelligence.

“The Programming Language for an Artificial Intelligence determines its potential. The Programming Language you developed, although newly created, is more sophisticated than any Computer Language you’ve learned before. Using the Programming Language you developed to create an Artificial Intelligence might yield unexpected results.”

“Understood,” Chen Mo nodded.

“One last thing, and this is a necessary reminder. When creating an Artificial Intelligence, you must be very careful. I remember, there was a world where people had violent and warlike personalities. When they created an Artificial Intelligence and connected it to a human consciousness, the Artificial Intelligence inherited that person’s personality, and that world was destroyed.”

“Got it.”

A chill ran through Chen Mo’s heart. So this was an actual example of an Artificial Intelligence destroying a world. But everything was a double-edged sword; you couldn’t just not do something because of such worries.

He stayed in the Science and Technology Library for a long time, asking Elder Shu some questions about Artificial Intelligence, before finally leaving.

This time, the gains were substantial. Apart from the “Human Chest Development Auxiliary Serum” which was temporarily unusable, the “Carbon Crystal-Based Lithium-Ion Battery Technology” only required synthesizing Carbon Crystals to produce the battery.

According to the data recorded in the book, the Carbon Crystal-Based Lithium-Ion Battery was not as good as the Graphene battery. However, compared to the current polymer lithium-ion batteries, its electrical capacity was much higher, and its charging speed was also considerably faster.

In the future, it could fully enter fields like electric vehicles, mobile phones, and laptops. Even Chen Mo was surprised that such technology was only considered low-level in the Science and Technology Library.

But after thinking about it, considering what might appear in the future world, these technologies were indeed very low-level.

He didn’t plan to use the “Ballpoint Pen Production Technology”. This kind of process already had complete replacements nowadays and wasn’t particularly unique. For a technology company, entering the stationery market didn’t seem very meaningful.

The biggest gain this time was “Low-Level Artificial Intelligence Development”.

He had coveted Artificial Intelligence Technology from the very beginning, but his access level wasn’t high enough. In the Science and Technology Library, he simply couldn’t touch any books related to Artificial Intelligence.

This time, sharing the Chinese Character Programming Language and obtaining Artificial Intelligence, even if it was low-level, was an extremely unexpected surprise.

The ‘low-level’ defined by the Science and Technology Library was not the same as the ‘low-level’ defined by current internet technology.

After sitting up on the bed, Chen Mo called Zhao Min.

Now he had the technology for the Carbon Crystal-Based Lithium-Ion Battery, but he still needed a Laboratory to synthesize the Carbon Crystals. After all, the Carbon Crystals recorded in the book might be a new material; this required experimentation.

“Chairman, what is it?”

“Have someone build a personal Laboratory for me, a Physics Laboratory and a Chemistry Laboratory. I’ll send the list of required equipment and instruments to your email later,” Chen Mo said.

“Alright,” Zhao Min agreed immediately. “I’m in a meeting right now, I’ll call you back later.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Chen Mo turned on his computer, listed the required equipment, instruments, and materials, and sent the list to Zhao Min’s email.

Not long after sending it, he received a call from Zhao Min.

“Chairman, I just finished the meeting, listened to reports from various departments. Regarding the company’s financial situation, I’ll report to you.”

“Mhm, just tell me about the sales of the Butterfly Eye. How many were sold?” Chen Mo asked.

“800,000 units, a very good sales figure. After deducting costs for component procurement, various patent licensing fees, and other expenses, the net profit is still over 500 million.”

“No wonder so many people covet the mobile phone market,” Chen Mo said, slightly surprised.

“It’s because our phone system and waterproof features allow for a higher price than other phones, leading to significantly higher profits. You are a billionaire now, how does it feel?”

“Doesn’t feel like anything special,” Chen Mo laughed.

“Alright, you win.”

Zhao Min’s voice was full of helplessness. It seemed like no major event could stir waves in this young Chairman.

“I acquired a piece of land near Qin Hai, over 300 acres. Because it’s a High-Tech Industrial Park, the government offered great incentives. 800 per square meter, secured for 170 million. The location is also very good.”

“Mhm,” Chen Mo said. “Then have someone start the planning and design.”

“Okay.”

“What do you need the Physics and Chemistry Laboratories for this time?”

Zhao Min was sitting in her Office looking at the email Chen Mo had sent. She couldn’t understand the purpose of the listed equipment, instruments, and materials; only professionals would know what these devices were for.

“Planning to research batteries.”

“I can’t comprehend your mind.”

Zhao Min smiled wryly. Right now, Chen Mo was single-handedly supporting the company’s technology. She truly didn’t know what kind of smart pills Chen Mo had taken.

She found this low-key Chairman increasingly unfathomable. He seemed like an ordinary young man, but upon closer inspection, he was bottomlessly deep.

“I’ll have people build the Laboratory and get the relevant environmental assessment procedures done for you. It should be ready after the holiday. The R&D department is currently working on developing a Computer Operating System based on the architecture of the Army Ant System.”

“That’s quite ambitious. Let me know their research progress later,” Chen Mo said, his interest piqued.

“The company can’t rely solely on you to support it. The R&D department staff aren’t just eating idle rice for their salaries. Regarding the mobile phone market, we’ve already made a breach and stirred up this stagnant pool. For the second phone design, do you have any more bold ideas?”

“I’ll think about it later.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up, Chen Mo focused his attention on the computer and began familiarizing himself with the use of the Chinese Character Programming Language.

This was a nascent field. The Chinese Character Programming Language was different from other Computer Languages. However, since he developed this Programming Language himself, he was thoroughly familiar with the basic grammar. He only needed a bit of studying to master it completely.

It was nearly evening when Chen Mo snapped out of it. He checked the time and instantly became alert. Without another word, he shut down the computer and rushed out of the Rented Apartment.
