The choice of the development direction of technology is actually a game of rock-paper-scissors between scientists and the times. Capital institutions do not like to hold stocks of R&D companies for a long time, because this thing is too risky and involves too much luck.

For example, when the world's top chip companies enter the mobile Internet era, most of them will die in the rapid iteration of 3G, 4G, and 5G.

Zhou Buqi has an advantage.

For him, in this rock-paper-scissors game with the times, the times come out first and he comes out last.

Therefore, he could conclude that the scientific research ideas of this multimedia laboratory were correct and promising, and he could 100% confirm that this laboratory was the later famous SenseTime Technology.

However, this multimedia laboratory currently lacks a leader. Professor Tang, the director of the laboratory, is a pure scientist who leads a number of professors and students, but his understanding of marketization is far from sufficient.

Zhou Buqi was different. He was able to quickly integrate their image processing technology with the market and play a very important role.

This technology still has a long way to go to transform uncertain blurry pictures into definite clear pictures, and it may take 10, 20, or 30 years of struggle.

However, they can basically make blurry pictures clear within a certain range of the human eye.

This is enough to have a great positive effect on the social level.

Zhou Buqi was very happy and felt that he had really made a lot of money by coming to Hong Kong this time. He had to inform Shen Xiangyang immediately and ask him to come over and start in-depth and all-round cooperation with this multimedia laboratory.

After leaving, Superboy was still confused and didn't seem to understand anything.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Thank you for helping me fund this team in the past few years. Thank you!"

"What?"

Superboy was shocked. This is the scientific research team funded by me. I funded the establishment of this multimedia laboratory.

Listening to this tone, does it become yours?

Even if it's not mine, it still belongs to the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Do you want to have anything to do with me?

Zhou Buqi said: "Little Superman, it's not that I want to cut it off halfway. The scientific research topics in this laboratory are actually too cutting-edge. Not to mention you, few companies in the world can take up the topic. In the Eastern Hemisphere, only Purple

MSI is qualified to cooperate. Don’t worry too much.”

"What am I worried about?" Superboy was angry and funny, "I fund these scientific research teams for public welfare purposes, and I never intend to gain anything."

Zhou Buqi gave a thumbs up, "Yes! This pattern is right!"

Superboy invited: "Will you come to my house when you have time?"

"ah?"

"My father wants to talk to you."

"Okay, I'll definitely pay you a visit and go study."

"When the time comes, please explain today's events in detail."

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "What did you say?"

Xiao Chao said: "Let's just say that this is a scientific research team that I have funded for many years and am very optimistic about. Because of its own lack of strength, I will transfer it to Ziweixing to continue to follow up."

Zhou Buqi lowered his voice, "Is your family's investment in high-tech industries yours or your eldest brother's?"

Superboy smiled half-heartedly, "Mr. Zhou, your question is very rude."

Zhou Buqi hooked up with him boldly and said, "We are friends. I am from the Northeast. I don't care about these details... Well, you are from the Northeast, do you know?"

Superboy said: "I know, drinking is more fierce than white devils, and fighting is more fierce than triads."

"I'm talking about character, okay?" Zhou Buqi snorted and vowed, "We Northeasterners are all hospitable and loyal. If you need my help, just ask."

"OK."

Superboy smiled and said nothing about the internal affairs of the family.

Zhou Buqi said: "Businesses such as docks, real estate, retail, transportation, and tap water are all similar. They are all traditional industries. But the ideas of high-tech industries are different. I think your investment and industry in the high-tech field are different.

It’s right to leave it to you.”

Superboy was very happy.

As a group of people walked on the campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Superboy wanted to get closer to him and whispered, "Don't you like Miss Wen Yongshan this morning?"

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, "Not very familiar."

Superboy said, "I've made all the arrangements. It's no problem for you to take her out and get a room."

"I'm not that kind of person."

"Yeah?"

"Well." Zhou Buqi coughed a few more times and whispered: "She may be very popular here on Hong Kong Island, but I have never heard of her at all. In the mainland, our understanding of Hong Kong Island's entertainment industry

, or old Hong Kong movies and the Four Heavenly Kings."

"If Ganduo doesn't see you die, you will die!"

Superboy said something in Cantonese and a curse word.

Of course Zhou Buqi knew that he was not scolding him, so he was very surprised and said in English, "What did you say?"

Superboy said angrily: "I scolded Edison Chen."

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "What's wrong with him?"

Superboy said: "The photo scandal he created has made the most popular female celebrities in Hong Kong notorious. I will arrange it for you, but you will definitely not be interested."

Zhou Buqi felt that what he said was too reasonable, and he said righteously, "I'm not interested in this kind of thing, so you don't have to bother arranging it."

Together, we investigated 4 laboratories at the University of Hong Kong, the University of Science and Technology and the Polytechnic University, and they were all really good.

Among them, there is a "data center high temperature" project conducted by an energy laboratory of the University of Hong Kong, which is particularly promising and meets the needs of Ziweixing.

At present, the pue of mainstream data centers around the world is around 2, that is, 1 kilowatt hour of power is consumed on computing equipment such as servers, and 1 kilowatt hour of corresponding auxiliary equipment such as air conditioners is also consumed. The effective power consumption is 1, and the real power consumption is

Yes 2.

But some data centers with excellent energy control can have power consumption as low as 1.7. Purple Star's cloud data center in the capital has a power consumption pue of about 1.8.

Their research topic is how to make computers and servers run safely and stably at relatively high temperatures. If this is done, there will be no need to turn on the air conditioner at such high power, which will save electricity.

This topic is very important to the business of metacomputing.

No wonder Superboy is so frustrated. Hong Kong Island really has no shortage of talents. Among the top 15 universities in Asia, Hong Kong schools are ranked 5 among them. The level is really good.

It seems that Ziweixing's Hong Kong branch should take on a more important task. It should open a research institute and connect with Hong Kong schools to retain talents so as not to go to countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States.

In the evening, Zhou Buqi refused Little Superman's entertainment, accompanied Pei Yao and Sun Wanran to dine, and asked the Pengcheng branch to strengthen contact with the Hong Kong school.

Especially the multimedia laboratory is really great and can be directly commercialized.

"Direct commercialization?" Pei Yao was slightly startled and didn't quite understand, "Isn't it a little early?"

Zhou Buqi said: "If possible, I think it can be launched on the market next year. For this kind of thing, the sooner the better, it will benefit the country and the people."

"Well……"

Pei Yao has become accustomed to her boss's big mouth.

Zhou Buqi asked with a smile: "By the way, when we were in the multimedia laboratory, didn't Superboy mention a case? It was said that there are often such plots in Hollywood movies. The satellite captured a person in the city, but the face was too blurry.

.Then, the blurred face is sent to the technical center for clarity processing, and then compared with the personal information in the database, you can find out who the person is."

Sun Wanran said softly: "Professor Tang said, this is impossible."

"Yes, it's impossible." Zhou Buqi also knew that movies have misled the public too much, "I don't think it can be done without ten or twenty years of technological accumulation to transform an uncertain image into a certain one. So the question is

Come on, what if it’s a clear image? There are also plots in some movies and TV shows where there is a photo and I don’t know who the person in the photo is. The police scan the photo into the computer, and then the computer can match the person with the identity.

By combining the picture on the certificate, we can identify this person."

Sun Wanran said tentatively: "This should be true, right?"

"Fake!"

Zhou Buqi is very decisive.

Sun Wanran looked suspicious, "Is this a difficult technique? It should be possible, right? If not, how will the public security department handle the case and investigate the person?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I don't know about the United States. It's definitely not possible in China. Isn't Meng Houkun's uncle the director? I've talked to him. They use the stupidest method, which is to let the police use their eyes to match the information in the database.

Compare the ID card profile pictures one by one.”

"That would be very troublesome!"

"This is the importance of artificial intelligence. Forget it, neither of you understands technology. Let me teach you a lesson about the development history of image processing of artificial intelligence."

Without experts present, Zhou Buqi was enough to act like a boss in front of these two laymen.

Sun Wanran curled her lips, "Do you understand?"

Zhou Buqi snorted coldly: "Why don't you understand? Listen! In the 1980s, computers were able to identify some simple objects. For example, cars, trees, and tigers. Computers could identify them through the method of a priori knowledge base. That's it.

First, manually transfer these things to the database, and they will be recognized if they are similar to those in the database. However, the accuracy is very poor, and you may not be able to distinguish apples from cherries."

"oh."

Sun Wanran despised him and felt that he could really pretend.

Zhou Buqi continued: "In the 1990s, new algorithms appeared, which can describe local features. This is the origin of contemporary artificial intelligence image recognition technology, and our CTO Shen Xiangyang is the founder of relevant theories. However,
To be continued...
