Chapter 123: Tiger Fighting, Brotherly Bond

In fact, after the birth of the artificial intelligence Star Ocean today, Du Qiu is planning to hand over this part of the work to Star Ocean. Star Ocean will adopt a virtual image and guide the R&D staff of Wisdom Technology via the internet.

It’s not that Du Qiu is overly cautious, but because he has only released a limited number of technological products that are not yet widely influential, which has already led to various attacks against him and Dream Technology.

Fortunately, he did not directly bring out the aluminum-silicon alloy, but merely applied it in small quantities in some of his own products.

Even with graphene materials, Du Qiu did not announce them with great fanfare but instead set up a separate trading company responsible for selling to the market.

Du Qiu has always believed that making a fortune in silence is the golden rule for survival!

If he were to introduce aluminum-silicon alloy to the market, he estimated that all the enterprises and consortia related to the global steel industry would definitely have the intent to kill him.

And say, one day he comes up with a new type of energy that could replace oil, he reckons that those oil-producing countries in the Middle East would definitely want to get rid of him even more eagerly.

Therefore, the advancement of technology needs to be backed by a certain strength; it is not true that possession of new technology will automatically lead to its widespread adoption and usage.

Think about the time when Tesla was driven into a corner by Edison and had to give up the patent for alternating current, eventually leading a life of poverty and even after his death, surrounded by various misunderstandings.

During this period, after a series of events, Du Qiu has also repeatedly contemplated the road ahead.

He is relieved that, out of caution, some of the preparatory work he had done before is still very useful.

Therefore, for Wisdom Technology, which he cooperated with Yu Donghua, Du Qiu decided not to appear directly anymore. All matters will be handled by Yu Donghua; anyway, Du Qiu trusts Yu Donghua very much.

Yu Donghua took Du Qiu around and then returned to his own office, re-brewing a pot of good tea.

“You’re not old, so why have you taken a liking to tea?” Du Qiu drank the tea in the small cup in one gulp, feeling it was not at all quenching, and couldn’t help but complain.

Yu Donghua saw the way Du Qiu drank his tea and couldn’t help but retort, “You drink tea like you’re gulping down beer. You really don’t know how to enjoy it.”

“Yeah, I see there are quite a few beauties here, so you do indeed know how to enjoy yourself. Aren’t you afraid Xu Xiaoyu will take care of you?”

“I need them for work!” The plump Yu Donghua wiped the sweat from his forehead, “The air conditioner here is a bit hot.”

Du Qiu couldn’t help but laugh, “Just don’t feel guilty and it’s fine.”

Yu Donghua glared at Du Qiu and said, “Wait until you marry your girlfriend Shuangshuang, I’ll see if you can still be so boastful.”

Although Yu Donghua had not met Ning Shuangshuang, he knew Du Qiu’s cautious manner when he mentioned her a few times, so it was clear to him that Du Qiu was just like himself.

“Let’s not digress. I’m really busy. Is the central data server I asked you to prepare operable here?”

“You’ve mentioned it, so of course I’ve got it ready. The terminal on that table over there is what you need; you operate it yourself, anyway, I don’t understand.”

Yu Donghua pointed to another table in the office.

Du Qiu got up and approached the terminal, started operating it, and inserted a USB drive, importing the program into the server.

Yu Donghua, sipping tea, said, “As you requested, the central data server is physically isolated from the internet…”

“Oh, no need to isolate it anymore. From now on, connect it directly to the internet. I’ve just added a special firewall. In the future, remember to keep the server powered at all times.”

After Du Qiu finished, he returned to sit next to Yu Donghua and picked up the tea cup, drinking it in one gulp again.

Now with the artificial intelligence Star Ocean, the network here will be completely protected and monitored by Star Ocean combined with its own firewall, ensuring safety.

If someone inside wants to sabotage, they will instead expose themselves to Star Ocean.

“Really no need to disconnect? What if the internal researchers want to transfer data out, won’t we be in trouble?”

“Rest assured, my security system can ensure that anyone trying to transmit technical documents from inside the company through the internet is impossible, and it will expose themselves instead.”

“That powerful?” Yu Donghua was somewhat doubtful.

“Just put your heart at ease. If I say it can be defended, then it certainly can.”

“Okay then, you’re the tech expert, I’ll listen to you.”

Yu Donghua nodded, then asked, “That copy machine you talked about on the phone…”

“Chip circuit printer!” Du Qiu corrected.

“Right, the printer. If this thing really can replace a lithography machine, then Wisdom Technology is truly going to hit it big. Are you sure you want to hand over this equipment for Wisdom Technology to produce?”

“Who said I’m giving this equipment to Wisdom Technology for production?”

“Ah?!” Yu Donghua asked in a puzzled tone, “If it’s not for Wisdom Technology to produce, then why tell me about it?”

“Wisdom Technology is responsible for the design software for chip circuits and jobs similar to what Qualcomm and Intel do, based on the third-generation semiconductor technology I provide, designing a completely new chip architecture and providing chips to the market.”

“Oh my, how did it become so high-end all of a sudden? That’s going to cost a lot of money!” Yu Donghua was startled internally.

Everyone knows that making chips is expensive, especially since Du Qiu also wants to make chips with a completely new architecture, which is essentially creating his own system; this is even more difficult.

“What is the mission of Wisdom Technology, have you forgotten?”

“You initially said it was for autonomous driving, later it was for artificial intelligence, so that’s why I named it Wisdom Technology,” Yu Donghua was somewhat confused.

“Right, do you think artificial intelligence can be born from the old chip architecture?”

“It can’t? What about AlphaGo…”

“You’ve already called it a dog, can it even be compared to artificial intelligence?”

“Hey, hey, don’t be technologically discriminatory. That thing has already defeated professional Go players!”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already got a plan for the new chip architecture, just have your researchers here implement the technical roadmap I’ve provided.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Donghua just stared at Du Qiu without saying a word.

“What are you staring at me for? Do I have flowers on my face?”

Yu Donghua shook his big head and said, “It’s only after returning to China that I realize that you, a PhD holder, are like a person with a cheat activated, practically comparable to Doraemon.

First there was the Heavenly System software, then the ultra-precision CNC machining center, the environmental waste treatment equipment, and the new carbon fiber production process.

The destroyer who used to mess things up is nowhere to be seen anymore.”

Du Qiu slapped Yu Donghua’s thigh and said, “What are you thinking? Don’t you know I’ve graduated with my PhD?

What destroyer? I started cultivating my hands-on skills from childhood. Otherwise, how could I have created all these good things?”

“Yikes—” Yu Donghua gasped in pain, “Why are you so heavy-handed?”

After a bout of laughter between the two, Yu Donghua said with a serious face, “I understand what you mean now; Wisdom Technology will be the king of future intelligent chips.”

“That’s right, by holding the high ground in intelligent chips, be it Intel or Qualcomm, they will all become things of the past.”

“I understand why you want to distance yourself from Wisdom Technology. Once Wisdom Technology’s smart chips take over the market, it will undoubtedly revolutionize the chip industry.”

Du Qiu put his hand on Yu Donghua’s shoulder and gravely said, “So you see, with so many and such powerful enemies, I have found you, my good brother, to shoulder the responsibilities together.”

“Don’t worry, tiger fighting means brotherly close, right? In our brotherhood, who can compete with whom?”

Yu Donghua said, suddenly bursting into a hearty laugh.

“What’s up?” Du Qiu asked.

Yu Donghua laughed, “Hahaha, one day I will be able to collect taxes like Qualcomm!

One day, I’ll be able to slap a ‘Wisdom Inside’ label on all smart devices!”
