Early the next morning, Xuanhuan Technology Company became bustling with activity as they were preparing to hold an important press conference.

The company's big boss, Zhang Ruolai, a young and promising CEO, stood on the stage and calmly announced a big news: Xuanhuan Technology successfully obtained the patent rights for the laboratory's artificial intelligence, which means that they will own all the rights to this technology and no one can infringe on it.

Then, Zhang Ruolai revealed an even more exciting plan: Xuanhuan Technology intends to cooperate with the Yanjing government to explore the possibility of introducing artificial intelligence in municipal engineering, and plans to conduct a small-scale pilot. As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions and expectations from everyone present.

As for the commercialization of artificial intelligence, Zhang Ruolai said that it would take some time, and there would be a specific plan in about a year. However, this does not affect everyone's attention and expectations for fantasy technology.

This news was like a bombshell, causing a stir in the media. Countless reporters flocked to Xuanhuan Technology, wanting to interview their head, Dr. Lu Xuanxin.

Lu Xuanxin, a talented young female scientist, appeared calm in the face of the media's siege. She answered the reporters' questions affirmatively and confirmed that everything Zhang Ruolai announced was true. Upon hearing this reply, the media were in an uproar, and the name of Xuanhuan Technology quickly spread across China.

Soon, information about Xuanhuan Technology came in like snowflakes and landed in the hands of many followers. It turned out that this company was founded by Dr. Lu Xuanxin, and her girlfriend Zhang Ruolai was the CEO of the company, responsible for managing the company's daily affairs.

As soon as the news came out, the media was in an uproar again. The Internet was even more lively, with netizens expressing their opinions and comments one after another.

"Wow! Goddess Xuanxin actually started a company! The name Xuanhuan Technology sounds very impressive! It seems that Goddess Xuanxin's ambition is to explore the sea of ​​stars!"

"She's really amazing! Look at Goddess Xuanxin, she's now worth 200 million. The rest of us can't even match her fraction! I'm ten years older than her, and I haven't even graduated with a doctorate yet. I'm really ashamed of myself!"

"Haha! Goddess Xuanxin is really a deity! After the company was established, she handed it over to her wife to manage while she concentrated on research. This is really a case of husband and wife working together to achieve great things!"

"That's right! Goddess Xuanxin should really concentrate on research, but it also requires money. The operating costs of a private laboratory are not low, so setting up a company is inevitable. And the patent rights must be controlled by oneself, otherwise it would be a pity if they fell into the hands of outsiders!"

"That's right! In the past, many private laboratories in China were targeted by foreign capital, their research results were stolen, their companies were acquired, and their technology patents were lost. Now that Goddess Xuanxin's company has no foreign investment involved, this situation will definitely be avoided!"

"I just don't know if Goddess Xuanxin's laboratory can hold on, especially in the face of American capital. They are very cunning, maybe they will find a way to acquire it!"

"That shouldn't be the case. Goddess Xuanxin is so smart, she will definitely not be easily tempted by the outside world."

"What if they offer a high price?"

In fact, what netizens don't know is that Dr. Lu Xuanxin escaped from the United States. She was tired of the scientific research environment and political atmosphere there, so she decided to return to her motherland for development. However, this news was deliberately suppressed by both the Chinese and American governments, so it did not spread.

Therefore, netizens were unaware of Lu Xuanxin's dislike for America and only thought that she was studying abroad there. However, this did not affect their attention and expectations for Lu Xuanxin and Xuanhuan Technology. Netizens discussed the matter and expressed their support for Lu Xuanxin's decision and dream.

In the spacious conference room of the Yanjing Hotel, Zhang Ruolai and his three assistants sat at the table, facing the Yanjing government officials. The atmosphere was a little tense, but Zhang Ruolai remained calm.

A supervisor, his eyes as deep as a calm lake, looked directly at Zhang Ruolai and asked in a steady voice: "To what extent can your company's artificial intelligence achieve?"

Zhang Ruolai didn't really want to attend this meeting, but since it was an order from above, he had no choice but to obey. Although he was not very interested in the field of artificial intelligence, he also understood that this was the trend of the times and should not be underestimated.

Facing the supervisor's questions, Zhang Ruolai sensed their inner doubts and impatience, but he did not show any panic. He was slightly moved. He had actually seen many such occasions. When he was a child, he watched his father ride the wind and waves in the business world. When he grew up, he also read about similar scenes in various books and materials. Today, it was finally his turn to deal with it.

He cleared his throat and answered solemnly: "Although our company's artificial intelligence is limited by communication technology and cannot cover all places for the time being, it can connect to various monitoring equipment within a certain area. Once a fight or illegal incident occurs, it can immediately detect it and automatically call the police. In addition, it can also perform detection, delivery and navigation through drones. What's more, it can also recognize faces and help us find lost children in the crowd. If the computing power is sufficient, it can even control unmanned vehicles to sprinkle water, plan roads and answer emergency calls."

After hearing Zhang Ruolai's answer, the supervisors were stunned. One of them asked in confusion, "Answering an emergency call? Isn't that the same as a human being?"

Zhang Ruolai smiled and replied, "Indeed. The artificial intelligence we pursue is a computer that can think like a human. As long as the computing power is sufficient, it can do almost the same things as humans."

The executives looked at each other with puzzled expressions. Finally, one of them asked, "Can we see this artificial intelligence in person?"

Zhang Ruolai nodded: "Of course."

“When can we see it?” the supervisor asked.

Zhang Ruolai thought for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Now."

The supervisors were a little surprised to hear this answer, but Zhang Ruolai had already made up his mind. He smiled and said, "In that case, let's go and take a look now. Please don't mind."

The supervisors all smiled and agreed: "We have heard too many such big words. We must see the real thing with our own eyes before we can make a judgment."

Zhang Ruolai nodded and walked out of the meeting room. He called Lu Xuanxin and explained the situation to her. Lu Xuanxin answered without hesitation on the other end of the phone: "Okay, I'll have them come over right away."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ruolai brought the supervisors to the campus of Yenching University and came to Lu Xuanxin's office.

In the spacious laboratory, scientists were busy testing their latest artificial intelligence technology. Suddenly, several Yanjing leaders and Zhang Ruo walked in together. The scientists who were originally busy stopped their work and cast their eyes on the visitors curiously.

At this time, Lu Xuanxin walked out of the core computer room, she smiled, glanced at Zhang Ruo, and then turned to the leaders. She had an elegant temperament, as if she was the soul of this laboratory.

"Welcome all the leaders from Yanjing to visit our laboratory!" Lu Xuanxin's voice was clear and pleasant, making people feel a sense of intimacy and respect.

The leader looked at Lu Xuanxin with a warm smile on his face: "We are deeply sorry for interrupting your work!"

Lu Xuanxin is well-known in the Elders' Council and the global scientific community. She is a leader of the younger generation and has a bright future. Therefore, these leaders in Yanjing are very respectful to her.

"Haha, everyone has their own responsibilities and different divisions of labor. You want to learn about artificial intelligence and discuss procurement matters, which is very responsible." Lu Xuanxin said to the leaders with a smile.

Hearing this, the leaders' smiles widened even more.

"Come, I'll show you our newly developed honeycomb system!" Lu Xuanxin said, and then led the leaders to the core computer room. In the computer room, the scientists were still working attentively, as if they didn't notice the arrival of this group of visitors.

When the leaders saw this scene, they all nodded in approval and expressed their appreciation for the professionalism and discipline of the laboratory.

Lu Xuanxin led the leaders to the honeycomb system. This was a delicate device with complex lights and shadows flashing on it.

"This honeycomb system is the first generation of artificial intelligence that we have developed in the true sense. You can give instructions at will, and it will obey." Lu Xuanxin said to the leaders with a smile.

The leaders were a little surprised and asked curiously: "Really? So simple?"

"Yes, just call it by its name 'Beehive'." Lu Xuanxin replied with a smile.

"Then can we issue any instructions we want?" asked another leader.

"Of course!" Lu Xuanxin nodded.

"Hive, give me a glass of water!" A leader suddenly said, and then looked at Lu Xuanxin, "Is it okay for me to say this?"

Lu Xuanxin smiled but didn't answer. Suddenly, a glass of ice water appeared in his hand. He held the glass of ice water in surprise and asked, "How did you know I wanted to drink ice water?"

He looked at the screen and asked curiously.

"Because your body temperature is slightly high, I judged that you might feel hot, so I brought you ice water." The voice of the honeycomb system sounded, surprising all the leaders.

"Dr. Lu, is this artificial intelligence really that smart? Isn't it a preset program?" A leader looked at Lu Xuanxin in confusion.

Lu Xuanxin smiled and glanced at the leaders and said, "You can try it yourself. There is no problem communicating with it."

Hearing this, the leaders looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes. Talking to a computer? This seemed incredible to them. They knew that computers could only respond according to preset programs, so how could they talk to people?

But thinking of the performance of the Hive System just now, they decided to give it a try. So they sent various instructions and questions to the Hive System, and the Hive System responded and answered them one by one.

The leaders were deeply shocked by this intelligent system. They did not expect that artificial intelligence technology has developed to such a level. And Lu Xuanxin and her team are the leaders in this field. They expressed their sincere respect and appreciation for Lu Xuanxin and her team.

The Hive System was silent for a moment, as if thinking.

"I also have the structure of electronic neurons, just like the human brain, and can use the existing data to make judgments and choices about things. If this is not considered thinking, then I really don't know what thinking is."

Hearing what the Hive System said, the leaders present all showed surprised expressions.

"Do you know what 'yourself' is? Do you have a sense of self?"

These leaders of Yanjing were all knowledgeable people, and when they heard the answer from the Hive System, they all widened their eyes at the same time.

"Yes, I have independent thinking consciousness!"

"Will you pose a threat to humans?"

A leader asked the Hive System pointedly.

"Anything that could harm humans, I will record in the alarm system. My decisions are all based on the safety of human life. This is the instruction my master wrote into my core program."

The Hive System replied.

Hearing this answer, the leaders began to show interest.

Afterwards, the leaders asked the Hive System some other questions, and it gave detailed answers to all of them.
