151 AI Program, Bai Ze
Li Chengqian leaned back in his chair and recalled his conversation with the designer Xie Jie today.
Xie Jie was a well-known designer that Huang Ting had engaged. He was in charge of designing the Divine Dragon Software Company building.
According to Xie Jie, it was not difficult to design the facade and floor plans of the building.
However, it was time consuming because there was a lot of repetitive work.
The really challenging part was the calculation of the engineering mechanics.
The Divine Dragon Software Company building had 51 floors and was 180 meters tall. It was challenging to calculate the building materials and the endurance load of each floor.
At the same time, the construction materials used could also be different because of the different endurance load for each level.
Currently, the construction CAD drawing software was only used for design drawings. It couldn’t help the designer calculate the construction materials needed.
For example, how many thick steel bars were needed, how many steel bars were in each pillar, and how many pillars were needed.
All of this required the designer to make careful calculations. While ensuring safety, he also had to ensure the financial feasibility of the project.
After a detailed discussion with the designer Xie Jie for two hours, Li Chengqian had a crystal clear concept of the problems that needed to be solved.
Design a new intelligent construction CAD software!
This new software would do automatic computation of endurance loads and automatic selection of construction materials.
After inputting the land size, geological parameters, floor height, floor area, and the building use, everything would be automatically designed!
At a higher level, after feeding the building materials database into the software, it could directly calculate the quantity of building materials to be purchased, the total materials cost of the house, and so on.
With Li Chengqian’s programming skills, it was not difficult to develop such a software. Although it was very complicated, it was nowhere near as complicated as an operating system.
However, developing an intelligent construction CAD software requires a deep understanding of engineering mechanics, material mechanics, and various architectural specifications.
At the same time, a sufficient understanding of the related nature of construction materials was also required.
“I need to study hard!”
In front of Li Chengqian were the relevant books recommended by Xie Jie. There were more than 50 books on Engineering Mechanics, Materials Mechanics, Geometry Mechanics, CAD Cartography Specifications, and so on. Every one of them was a thick volume!
To others, they might not even be able to learn it well in ten years.
But to Li Chengqian, one week was enough.
However, Li Chengqian wasn’t in a hurry to learn it. This was because he had enough experience value points to upgrade the first skill of his Software Engineer profession to the Master level.
Li Chengqian recalled that after the Mental Coding skill was upgraded to Master level, he could encode intelligence and upload it to the computer.
To form a true… AI program!
With the AI program, many things could be done by it.
Following Li Chengqian’s thoughts, his personal interface opened in front of him.
“Upgrade Mental Coding proficiency!”
[You have consumed 800,000 experience value points. Your coding proficiency has been upgraded to Master level. You have 2.1 million experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]
[Mental Coding (Master): It can encode the host’s thoughts and memories and upload them to a computer to form a B+ level AI program that can learn on its own. This AI program will be under the host’s absolute control. The host will never lose control of it.]
“That’s it!” Li Chengqian’s face was filled with excitement when he saw the introduction on the Master level Mental Coding.
Then, Li Chengqian quickly closed his personal interface and put on the brainwave receiver.
“Focus!”
“Rational Thinking!”
“Mental coding!”
Three skills were activated at the same time.
Then, under Li Chengqian’s control, his thoughts, memories, and everything related to intelligence were copied by the Mental Coding skill and transmitted to the computer in front of him.
It took a full three hours for the data transfer to be completed.
The data transmitted not only occupied the computer in front of him, but also filled up all the remaining space in the company’s server.
After the data transfer was completed, the AI program automatically began to operate.
On the computer, a small person identical to Li Chengqian appeared on the desktop and said with a stony face, “Hello, Master. I’m AI Li Chengqian! May I ask what I can do for you?”
His voice was exactly the same as Li Chengqian’s, but it was steely cold, without a trace of emotion.
When Li Chengqian saw the image of the AI on the computer and heard the voice, he immediately shuddered.
Then, at his request, the AI turned into a cartoon image, and its voice was somewhat different from his.
Li Chengqian then gave the AI a name: Bai Ze!
“Bai Ze, I’ll task you to develop the intelligent construction CAD software. Do you need me to do anything?” Bai Ze was actually Li Chengqian’s replica. Moreover, because Bai Ze was an AI program, it was more convenient for him to acquire knowledge. As long as the relevant knowledge was copied to Bai Ze’s catalog, it was equivalent to learning it.
“Based on calculations, due to hardware restrictions, Bai Ze’s computing ability can only be used at 1%. It will take 24 hours to develop the intelligent construction CAD software!”
“Master, please authorize me to connect to the internet. I need to collect relevant materials for developing the intelligent construction CAD software, such as construction specifications, mechanical characteristics, materials parameters, and so on.” A cold voice came from the computer.
“Agreed! But you must be careful and not be discovered by anyone!” Li Chengqian agreed with a smile. He had no reason not to.
With Bai Ze around, he could break free from the backbreaking and time consuming programming work.
He could focus on other things.
“Hardware restrictions? When I go to Dragon City in a few days to participate in the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, I’ll go to the Computer Science Institute of the Academy of Sciences and ask if they have supercomputers for sale.”
…
Early the next morning, under the lead of Huang Ting and Zhao Na, the group from Heyme Corporation entered Li Chengqian’s studio.
This floor of the studio was more than 2,000 square meters. After the renovation, other than a partitioned area that served as Li Chengqian’s studio, there was also a newly renovated 100 square meters conference room.
It was right next to Li Chengqian’s studio, so it was convenient for Li Chengqian to work.
After everyone took their seats, both parties made a simple introduction and the meeting officially began.
“President Li, I’m here to ask for your help!” Lei Che’s face was bitter. He cut straight to the chase. At this point, there was no need to beat around the bush.
He was here to beg, so his attitude had to be sincere.
“Oh?” Li Chengqian didn’t comment.
Seeing that Li Chengqian didn’t reply, Lei Che stood up and apologized sincerely.
“President Li, first of all, I need to apologize to you! After your company released the Divine Dragon Optimization App, without communicating with you, we took it down and issued a security notification on it. Later on, we even used a push update to reinforce the Heyme system and banned the installation of the App.”
“I’ll want to apologize to President Li on this first!”
Li Chengqian’s expression was calm, and he didn’t say anything.
On the other hand, Zhao Na showed vindication on her face. At that time, Heyme Corporation had also sent people to the Divine Dragon Software Company to offer to buy the App. Zhao Na was the one who received them. Their attitude was very haughty.
They looked like they were going to ban the Divine Dragon Optimization App if it wasn’t sold to them. And that was exactly what they did.
The extent of Heyme’s haughtiness back then was in direct relation to the extent of Lei Che’s sorry state now.
