Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 974 Natural Language
"Probing for information? Tell them to get out of here."

In a restaurant in Shanghai, Zhou Rui sat alone in a corner, answering the phone.

This is a Russian restaurant that is said to have good food, so there are no private rooms, just a partition in the corner with a large table.

There were a lot of people coming and going, so he naturally wore a baseball cap to disguise himself.

The person on the other end of the phone was the new director of the Space Administration, former director of the Systems Engineering Department, "Li Changping".

I made a special phone call to discuss matters with NASA.

Although the so-called middleman is the China National Space Administration, the agency's technology, especially those with generation gaps, has long been integrated with Taiyi Technology, so whether to cooperate or not ultimately depends on Zhou Rui's opinion.

The two sides had already been at odds with each other, and he contacted Zhou Rui immediately.

"I understand. I will take your opinion into consideration."

Zhou Rui asked: "What is your space agency's opinion?"

"Just like you, we want them to die far away."

Well, that’s right, this is what technological hegemony looks like.

Li Changping's voice was very steady:
"Some old bastards, whose understanding of the world is still stuck in decades ago, are very excited about this, as if we have gained a great advantage. However, I have handled it properly, and the voices within the bureau will be very consistent."

In fact, the so-called "middleman" is a domestic scholar who worked closely with NASA in the past, or a "resource-based scholar". He can be treated like a big shot if he gets some NASA exchange quotas every year.
But that was more than a decade ago, and they backed off after the Wolford Clause. Now they are jumping out as a middleman to test the waters, which means they have never lost contact with NASA.
There are still many people who cannot see the situation clearly and hold old and wrong perceptions. This is human nature and has nothing to do with cultural level.

After all, just like many old men cannot learn to use mobile phones, the same reason applies to the cognitive bias of some intellectuals in the past.

But the crooked butt is another matter. Anyone with normal intelligence can see how shameless NASA's operation is, and there are actually people acting as pawns.

This person needs to be investigated.

It's not just NASA. After the destruction of the International Space Station, a monopoly in the aerospace field has been formed. There will be many so-called "olive branches" extended by various countries, and we must have determination at this time.

A bunch of rookies, there is nothing to work with. For them, they just play with whoever they like.
Zhou Rui concluded: "Just ignore NASA's cooperation. By the way, I haven't asked them for the bill for the rescue yet."

"Well, I guess I can't get it."

"Whether I get it or not, I can still slap NASA in the face with the bill."

After hanging up the phone, the person he was waiting for arrived and waved with a smile.

At the entrance of the restaurant, a pretty blonde girl was looking around. When she saw Zhou Rui, she was a little confused at first, but then she trotted over with an excited look on her face.

There were several people behind him, and interestingly, they were all foreigners, including a simple-looking couple, a sturdy man with a big beard, and a capable old man.

It was the Halsey family, the biological genius, Andre, the mathematical genius, and Marcus, the capable general.

Even in a Russian restaurant, such a large group of "foreigners" is quite eye-catching.

It has been three days since Zhou Rui returned to Shanghai, but the shock of the International Space Station explosion is far from over.

In terms of attention, it has even just reached its climax.

But he had gradually found his normal work rhythm and picked up some small things again, such as the genius he recruited, and it was time to show up in person. Considering that the Halsey family and Andre were both Russian, he found such a place.

As for Marcus, it doesn’t matter what he eats, he came here for the “learning machine”, but that’s another story.

Halsey sat directly next to Zhou Rui, and even moved the chair closer. Zhou Rui patted Halsey on the head and said, "In China, seats are particular. Let your father sit here."

Halsey was unhappy, but still did as he was told and replaced his honest old father with his own and sat next to Zhou Rui.

The Siberian girl who could tease her classmates became much more well-behaved in front of Zhou Rui.

This is also what Zhou Rui hopes to see. It is worth it for him to take time out of a meal to personally show up to boost loyalty.

After handing the menu to the serious Russian, he didn't care about anything else and just wanted to ask about the situation on both sides.

The Halsey family has completely settled down in Shanghai. Halsey spends half of his time studying Chinese at an international high school and the other half studying with Marcus.

She was worthy of the system's certification of her top talents in "cell biology" and "genetics", and she was truly improving at a speed that even Marcus was amazed.

Halsey's ordinary old father, with the help of his daughter, joined Kaiming Intelligence and worked as an ordinary employee in the Russian business department. He was very nervous. After all, apart from knowing Russian, he was nothing.
Even his Russian has a Siberian accent.
So when I saw Zhou Rui, I was extremely nervous.

"Boss, my daughter and you can sit anywhere you want, I have no problem with that."

Zhou Rui smiled awkwardly: "You need to study Chinese more. Halsey is already much better than you."

Marcus was a little troubled. If Halsey's only weakness was his mediocre parents,
I hope these two can understand as soon as possible that geniuses have their own growth paths, and they should not interfere too much.

On the other hand, the situation for Andre, who is the world's top mathematical talent, is much more monotonous.

Since joining the company, I have made a name for myself at Kaiming Intelligence, using mathematical knowledge to solve many problems, mainly in the areas of systems, data, and programming.

This was the fastest way to put his mathematical talent to work.

Zhou Rui expected him to be a mathematics prince rather than a programming master, but this way of working helped him integrate into the company and society.

As far as he knew, Andre's life was extremely boring.

I study mathematics at work on weekdays, and continue to study mathematics when I get home from work. I won’t stop as long as my thoughts are not stuck. If I am really stuck, I will drink a bottle of vodka.

This guy has lived alone for a long time, and in an area with an extreme climate like Siberia, he can really stand loneliness! Sometimes he can go three or four days without saying a word!

The good news is that after meeting Zhou Rui, his boss and a mathematical genius in his eyes, Andre still has some desire to express himself.

After hmmming and ahing for a long time, I finally found an opportunity to talk about something I had been planning for a long time.

"Boss, I've been studying the underlying logic of machine intelligence recently. I'm amazed by its magic, but I noticed that machine intelligence's processing of 'natural language' is a bit rigid. The 'instruction set' model you designed before is actually becoming more and more bloated and difficult to iterate."

"I want to design a set of intelligent interaction models that can be trained extensively based on 'natural language' and self-iterate based on statistics. In fact, this is what several friends in the company want to do."

Zhou Rui was stunned.

Do you have any friends?
