Qian Zhaoping, wanting to show off, decided to talk about his own computer technology skills.
"Yeah, it’s quite simple actually."
Seeing Li Xiang boasting about his expertise, Qian Zhaoping was not impressed: You sure know how to brag. I’ll give it to you, your Skull Restoration Technique is unmatched, but in computer technology, you’re definitely not on my level.
Of course, he didn’t say this outright. After all, Li Xiang was the star of their research institute, and their progress relied heavily on him.
The key point is, no matter how skilled you are with the Skull Restoration Technique, once this project is completed, you won’t have much use.
Computer software can directly generate a photo of the deceased from skull data; as long as the computing power is sufficient, the speed is sothing soone like Li Xiang, who draws by hand, can’t match.
So, in the end, computer technology has the upper hand.
After work, Li Xiang arranged to et with so landlords to view apartnts.
He scheduled visits with three landlords and drove to check them out one by one.
Upon seeing the first one, he was almost nauseated.
In the photos, it looked clean, but when the landlord opened the door, Li Xiang’s face imdiately changed. An inexplicable stench made him almost gag.
"Forget it, I’m not going in."
"Co on, take a look inside. If there’s anything you don’t like, I’ll get a cleaning service to tidy it up."
No matter what the landlord said, Li Xiang left without looking back.
Why don’t they check before trying to rent it out?
Li Xiang found it incomprehensible. To rent out a place quickly, it needs to be clean and tidy, with a holike feel.
Anyway, he had two more places to see.
The other two were relatively normal, and Li Xiang was quite satisfied with one of them, so he paid the deposit and planned to sign the contract the next day.
He spent the night in a hotel and worked at the institute the following day. During lunch, he took a break to sign the rental contract. It was in duplicate, so both he and the landlord had a copy, which was necessary for future rent reimbursents.
When he got back ho after work, Li Xiang tidied up the house. There wasn’t much to do except set up his workstation.
By his estimates, his artificial intelligence software would be ready for initial use in two weeks.
His AI wasn’t like the pseudo-AI products other companies were pushing.
Even as a preliminary product, it could easily surpass many of the AI products on the market.
Going forward, Li Xiang would lead a two-point routine life.
Writing tirelessly in the research institute during the day and then typing away at ho every night.
Three days later, Lin Feifei arrived with their pet, and the family of three was reunited.
That evening, after a long day, Li Xiang returned ho to find that Lin Feifei had dinner ready.
"Oh, honey, what’s the occasion? Why’s dinner so lavish?"
"Go wash up and eat," Lin Feifei responded with a faint smile, urging Li Xiang to wash up and eat.
But Li Xiang could tell that Lin Feifei seed to have sothing on her mind, so after washing up, he sat down to eat.
Sure enough, as they were eating, Lin Feifei couldn’t hold back: "Honey, I need to discuss sothing with you."
"What is it, honey?"
"I’ve been staying at ho without any gigs or new songs, and I’m getting a bit bored. Do you think I should do sothing? Should I open my own studio or sign with a new agency? I’ve been undecided."
"Open your own studio. Signing with a new company just ans working for soone else, and the hassles will remain the sa."
"But if I open my own studio, I worry about not having enough contacts. I fear the studio might not work, and I’m not great at running one. What if it fails?"
"You really lack confidence. From what I know, your previous agency went bankrupt, and the copyright disputes over your songs can’t go on. Technically, those songs are your own. Just the royalty fees from those songs should keep you afloat, so go ahead and open it. Even if it goes bankrupt, I can take care of you."
With Li Xiang’s encouragent, Lin Feifei realized she wouldn’t be starving as long as Li Xiang was there.
Besides, she still had a villa in Jinling City. Even if the studio failed, this villa would ensure her future.
"Alright, in that case, I’ll give it a try. I recently contacted my forr assistant, Little Ai. After the company went bankrupt, she also left."
"Little Ai? Do you trust her?"
Li Xiang frowned. If he rembered correctly, the last ti at the café, she seed to have been there, giving Feifei a hard ti.
"She was just doing her job, paid by the company to persuade . She didn’t have much choice. She’s been my assistant for two years, and I understand her character. Besides, sotis she worked as my agent too and is familiar with lots of business dealings. She’d be much better than hiring soone new."
"If you say it’s okay, then go for it. I support you."
"Mm-hmm."
Seeing Li Xiang’s support, Lin Feifei no longer hesitated and decided to start her own studio.
"What should I na my studio?"
"How about ’Phi Tong Fan Xiang’? It suggests our studio will be extraordinary and will shine brightly."
"Great, it’ll be called ’Phi Tong Fan Xiang.’ I love this na."
Lin Feifei loved the na, not just for its aning but because it included both their nas.
After deciding on the studio’s na, the next day she contacted Little Ai and brought her onboard.
Little Ai also had a hard ti lately. After the company bankrupted, she received compensation but struggled to find work. Either the jobs didn’t et her standards, or she didn’t et theirs, leaving her in an awkward position.
When she heard Lin Feifei was starting a studio, she didn’t hesitate to agree.
She and Lin Feifei then found a place, added professional singing equipnt, and set up their own recording room.
Both were so busy that even Li Xiang, who was writing code every day, was left alone.
But during this ti, he managed to successfully develop the AI frawork.
After integrating the intelligent core into his workstation system, it transford into a truly intelligent system.
He downloaded a random voice package online, and the computer could talk.
Li Xiang spoke into the microphone: "Hello."
"Hello, my master, how can I assist you?"
"Who are you?"
"I am the artificial intelligence system created by the master. I don’t have a na yet. Would the master give a nice na?"
"Let’s call you Little Mu."
Li Xiang’s na contains a wood radical, and Lin Feifei’s Lin also contains the wood radical, hence, the AI was nad Little Mu.
"Yes, master, my na is Little Mu."
Li Xiang chatted with Little Mu a bit more before conducting a series of tests, including the famous Turing Test. The results pleased him. Little Mu’s intelligence level was now equivalent to that of a 13-year-old human.
He then used Little Mu to challenge various online gaming AI systems, testing its computing power. With its powerful intelligent model, Little Mu could easily sweep through the top-tier AI of all the card gas on the market.
The only disappointnt was that he hadn’t allowed Little Mu to try playing Go against AlphaGo. Still, there would be opportunities in the future, and he was confident Little Mu could achieve victory.
Completing the AI frawork program marked the end of a major task for Li Xiang. His next step was to enhance Little Mu, install various auxiliary programs, and give it the ability to learn autonomously.
