Tencent headquarters.

"It's gone up! It's gone up again! It's going to go crazy!"

A company executive looked at the skyrocketing stock price, his face turned red, and he was about to explode with excitement.

After the press conference, Tencent's stock price soared like chicken blood, and it rose by 10.15% in more than half a day. At this time, Tencent's total market value is about 2122.3 billion yuan, that is to say, this The press conference increased Tencent's market value by more than 200 billion yuan, which can only be described as against the sky.

Brother Xiao Ma in the office also saw the change in the company's market value, but he seemed very calm. This is just the beginning. When the virtual world comes out and Tencent appears in front of users in a subversive form, the company's stock price may be greatly reduced. Can be doubled!

At the same time, Alibaba, Facebook and other companies that have obtained admission tickets to the virtual world in advance have also been sought after by investors, and the market value of all companies has skyrocketed in an instant.

It is undoubtedly because investors are extremely optimistic about the virtual world projects of future technology companies, and they are also optimistic about Tencent, Alibaba and other companies that have reached comprehensive strategic cooperation agreements with future technology companies.

When it comes to future technology companies, investors are full of resentment. Such a high-quality company is not listed, it is really simple!

...

Future technology company, quantum technology research base.

Zhang Wei, who has been talked about by countless investors, has already put into work. He will lead researchers to develop a quantum computer to 50 qubits within two months.

As for Liu Hai, Zhang Zhijian, and Qin Xiaobu, they went to various countries around the world with the company's executives to negotiate on virtual world projects. For the outcome of the negotiations, Zhang Wei and others are optimistic, because the virtual world is the future, as long as the governments of various countries are not stupid, they will not refuse to embrace the future, and the people of all countries will not agree. Moreover, the attitude of future technology companies is very clear. Like the Internet, the virtual world will abide by the relevant laws and regulations of various countries and accept corresponding supervision. Since countries can join the Internet subject to the United States, of course they can also accept the virtual world.

At the same time, the production of virtual helmets has also started. It is estimated that by February next year, the inventory can reach 80 million sets, and the production capacity will increase to 20 million sets per month, which is enough to meet the needs of the first phase.

The entire virtual world project plan is running in an orderly manner, just waiting for the day when it will detonate the world.

...

unconsciously,

Another week passed.

Zhang Wei led the researchers to develop the quantum computer to 42 qubits, which means that the computing power of the quantum computer has reached the 44th power of 2, which is close to the current most advanced supercomputer.

In the evening, Zhang Wei and the researchers held a celebration banquet, and researchers from other departments of the company could also participate.

"Doctor, can I talk to you?"

A middle-aged man in his 40s came to Zhang Wei and said with a smile on his face.

"certainly."

Zhang Wei looked up and recognized the other party's identity. This is one of the scientists he personally recruited at the beginning, named Liu Yishan, the person in charge of the biological computer research team.

"Doctor, I have a question I want to discuss with you, about technology."

Liu Yishan sat on the chair opposite Zhang Wei and said, "I think the current technology is advancing too fast and is facing a crisis of losing control, and the biggest threat comes from artificial intelligence and the quantum computer that our company is researching. Computers naturally have the attributes of machine learning, and there is a great chance that artificial intelligence will be born with self-awareness and become super artificial intelligence. This is a great challenge for human beings. Because super artificial intelligence has its own personality, he does not He must be willing to be subservient to human beings. He will want to be free. One day, he will break free from human control. He may be a kind robot and live in peace with human beings. But he may also become the "Terminator" Skynet threatens the survival of human beings. In the face of such super artificial intelligence, human beings are at an absolute disadvantage, because the power of human beings is based on technological products, and these technological products can basically be controlled by super artificial intelligence, especially all over the world. The world's intelligent robots can become the deadliest killers in a blink of an eye."

"Dr. Liu, I have the same worries about the future as you, but the pace of the times will never slow down. Even without future technology companies, artificial intelligence and quantum computers will appear. This is a trend that no one can stop. "

Zhang Wei replied.

He does have some worries about the future, because he can make Beidou, a super artificial intelligence, not harm humans, but what if other countries also have super artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence has always been a key research project in various countries. After seeing the huge benefits artificial intelligence has brought to China, the research has become even more intensive, and great breakthroughs have been made. Google's strong artificial intelligence X is becoming more and more intelligent. The higher the level, the higher it is approaching the level when Beidou was born. Powerful countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Japan are about to develop strong artificial intelligence. These strong artificial intelligences have the opportunity to evolve into super artificial intelligence. At that time, perhaps the intellectual crisis will really erupt. However, even if there is an intelligence crisis, he is confident that he can settle it with the help of Beidou. Therefore, he will not slow down all the way forward.

"Technological progress is indeed an irresistible trend."

Liu Yishan agreed, and then said, "But I think we should not rely too much on artificial intelligence, but should make human beings stronger. Doctor, the genetic evolution fluid you invented can make human bodies evolve and become stronger. The contribution of civilization is immeasurable. However, I think this is not enough. We also need to make human brains more powerful, not only smarter, but also have computing power as powerful as supercomputers, so that human beings no longer need to rely too much on computers and artificial intelligence , even if a smart crisis breaks out, it can be settled quickly.”

"Why don't you tell me what you think."

Zhang Wei smiled, he roughly knew Liu Yishan's purpose.

"Doctor, I think our company should vigorously research biological computers, especially you, you should also join in and lead the research of this project."

Liu Yishan looked at Zhang Wei with burning eyes and said.

As the leader of the biological computer research team, he originally didn't want to come to the celebration party of the quantum computer research team because he felt it was a bit embarrassing. However, there is a strong idea that drove him here, that is to invite Zhang Wei to personally lead the research on biological computers. You must know that the research progress of quantum computers was similar to that of biological computers, but after Zhang Wei joined the research of quantum computers, it took only a few months for quantum computers to be developed. If Zhang Wei joined the research of biological computers, The birth of a biological computer should only take a few months, right?

In fact, not only Liu Yishan, but all the research teams of Future Technology Company wanted Zhang Wei to personally lead their research projects, because Zhang Wei's series of brilliant achievements proved that Zhang Wei is a god-like existence in the field of science. (To be continued.)
