Chapter 160 Personal AI Assistant: Lingxi
As the time came to August, Lu An, in addition to his daily planned work, spent several hours every day after get off work to develop a personal AI assistant at home.
With the help of a powerful AI assistant, not only can the efficiency be greatly improved, but Lu An himself can also feel much more relaxed.
The development of other industry versions of Xingliu software tools can only be completed by Lu An alone. The workload is too large, and the efficiency of development by one person is indeed not high.
The number of versions in each industry has increased. In the future, optimization and generation upgrades will be carried out, and the design will be exhausted.
But if there is a highly intelligent AI assistant to assist in development, and some basic code and program assembly work can be assisted by AI, there is no need for Lu An to type out the codes one by one, and the workload can be reduced exponentially in an instant.
Even if dozens of Xingliu series software tools appear in the future, whether it is optimization or generation selection, it will be easy and stress-free with the assistance of AI assistants.
And with the assistance of AI assistants, there is no need to worry about technical leaks caused by human factors. It can be said to serve multiple purposes with one stone.
In the villa at home.
Lu An sat silently in front of the computer. After a while, Meng Qiuyan came behind him slowly, leaned over slightly, and put her hands around his neck from behind his shoulders, and her hands naturally dropped downward.
“So you have troubled yourself sometimes?” Meng Qiuyan said with a smile. Seeing the troubled look on Lu An’s face, Meng Qiuyan couldn’t help but curiously asked: “What’s the matter?”
Lu An said with a puzzled look on his face: "I am thinking about what name to give to the personal AI assistant that is being developed. The name "Xiao Yuan" has already been taken by the company's housekeeping service robot product."
Meng Qiuyan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then couldn't help but smile: " I thought it was some kind of technical problem that troubled you. Do you have difficulty naming? "
Lu An immediately said, "Just come over and help me think of a better name."
Hearing this, Meng Qiuyan took back his hands and stood up straight, folding his arms thoughtfully.
After a while, she looked at Lu An and said, "How about calling it 'Lingxi'?"
Lu An turned around and glanced at her: "Lingxi?"
Meng Qiuyan nodded and said with a smile: "Well, this name is like the first ray of light refracted by dewdrops at dawn. The sun is flat and the yin is flat, clear and rising, and it is easy to say in spoken language. , easy to remember, and adds a layer of natural artistic conception. "
Hearing this, Lu An couldn't help but nodded. He no longer struggled with the name, and immediately said, "Okay, let's use this name."
Lu An entered the name on the keyboard, and the personal AI assistant was named "Lingxi".
At this time, Meng Qiuyan asked with great interest: "After Lingxi is developed, what will her abilities be like? Can she be qualified to work as a human assistant?"
Lu An affirmed: "Theoretically, there is no problem, it just depends on the degree of intelligence."
Meng Qiuyan immediately said: "Then I suggest you adapt and develop a bionic human body, so that it can not only become your personal assistant to assist in work, but also become a personal bodyguard. The Xiaoyuan robot is already so advanced. Lingxi's bionic body uses higher-strength materials, and its reaction and comprehensive capabilities are much stronger than those of human bodyguards."
Hearing this, Lu An immediately nodded and said, "This is a good idea. What you said reminds me that I will equip you with several bionic robots as your personal bodyguards to protect you."
Meng Qiuyan smiled and said, "That's what I was about to say."
No matter how professional they are, the strength gap between men and women cannot be made up no matter how much training they do. This is the law of biological physical fitness and nature, and the physical weight is not at the same level.
But robots are very different.
Even though the body is as delicate as a human woman, as long as the strength and rigidity of the body structure are high enough, it cannot be compared to human carbon-based life forms.
A 7.62-caliber "peanut" from a carbon-based life form can rise directly to the sky, and even hit a mechanical body without any damage.
Meng Qiuyan immediately looked at Lu An and said, "But can the appearance be designed to be the same as that of a human being? I mean to the extent that it can look like a real android."
Lu An confidently smiled and said: "Of course it is possible, it's just that the materials are more expensive and the maintenance costs are high."
Expensiveness is not a problem at all. Lu An originally planned to design and build a private custom design for himself and Meng Qiuyan.
If you don’t pursue commercialization, you don’t need to consider the cost issue. You only need to consider whether the performance meets expectations. Even if it costs tens or even hundreds of millions to build one, it doesn’t matter.
Lu An quickly decided on this matter and first completed the 1.0 version of Lingxi's A1 intelligent agent. This is expected to be completed within this year.
Then use the best hardware materials to create a physical bionic human body. Lu An has already thought about what materials to use.
Shockingly, it is the “Nano Lattice Adaptive Alloy” under development. This metal alloy breaks the impossible triangle and can achieve optimal plasticity, strength and stability at the same time.
The bionic body created using nano-lattice adaptive alloy is definitely smoother than the current Xiaoyuan robot, and every move is indistinguishable from humans. The bionic skin made by combining silicone gel and polymer materials can definitely look fake and real.
At this time, Lu An saw a prompt on the computer.
It was a video link sent by his teacher Huang Zongsheng. Lu An temporarily stopped developing the AI assistant's agent and connected the video connection,
"Teacher."
"Xiao'an, Qiuyan is here too."
Meng Qiuyan also waved immediately and smiled to say hello to Huang Zongsheng in the video call.
After the interlude, Huang Zongsheng got down to business: "Xiao An, as for the name of the telescope, we old guys have already decided on it, and it will be called "Lu An Telescope". ”
Lu An: “Well, Meng Qiuyan blinked and couldn’t help but smile and said, “Teacher, are you so straightforward with your names?”
Hearing this, Huang Zongsheng said with a smile, “Haha, our astronomy community is the group that has the least anxiety about naming. No matter at home or abroad, the secret of naming in our industry is to use whoever comes to mind. Hubble Telescope is named after Edwin Hubble.”
Lu An glanced at his girlfriend and smiled and said: "In the astronomical world, naming telescopes is best done after the person's name. The names of most telescopes are more careless than the last."
Meng Qiuyan immediately looked at Lu An. She had not been involved in the field of astronomy.
Lu An said with a smile: "For example, a telescope with a diameter of thirty meters is called the "Thirty Meter Telescope", a very large telescope is called a "Very Large Telescope", an even bigger telescope is called an "Extremely Large Telescope", and even larger telescopes are called "Unstoppable Large Telescope" and so on. "
Meng Qiuyan couldn't help laughing when he heard these names.
Huang Zongsheng in the video immediately said: "What is sloppy? This is called simplicity and straightforwardness."
Meng Qiuyan looked at Lu An and said with a smile: "You should learn from the astronomy community on this point. It is difficult to give an AI a name."
Lu An didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then looked at the video screen and said, "Teacher, how about we change the name? I think it would be good to find a name from ancient mythology." Hearing this, Huang Zongsheng waved his hand: "No need to change, it has been decided. It will be called "Lu An Telescope". After all, you paid for it. Maybe other rich people can also sponsor scientific undertakings for a title in the future?" "
Lu An laughed: "Well, okay then."
The name of the telescope was decided, and then skipped the topic. Huang Zongsheng said: "After six months of intensive discussion and discussion, our industry peers have unanimously agreed that the "Lu An Telescope" will not operate in the visible light band and focus on infrared band observations, but it mainly depends on your wishes. "
Hearing this, Lu An said without hesitation: "I don't have any intention. If you want to do infrared light, then do infrared light."
The Hubble Telescope in orbit mainly detects visible light, but the penetrating power of visible light is very low and cannot penetrate the picture behind the interstellar gas and dust clouds.
Infrared light can penetrate interstellar gas and dust, and can also see farther.
The wavelength of visible light is between blue and red, of which red has the longest wavelength. The longer the wavelength, the stronger the penetrating power and the easier it is to pass through objects. The wavelength of infrared rays is longer than the wavelength of red light. The human eye cannot see infrared rays, but special equipment and instruments can.
Due to the expansion of the universe, the visible spectrum emitted by the earliest galaxies has already been stretched to the infrared spectrum, which is a red shift phenomenon. This is why Huang Zongsheng and others want the "Lu An Telescope" to focus on the observation of infrared light.
Huang Zongsheng said in the video: "There is a huge challenge in the design of telescopes that focus on infrared observations. They must maintain extremely low temperatures. The longer the infrared wavelength, the lower the temperature required."
Any object with thermal radiation will emit infrared rays, including The telescope itself will also radiate some heat when it is working, which will cause the light waves coming from the galaxy to be interfered. Telescopes that perform infrared observations require extremely complex process technology, and must integrate breakthroughs in multiple fields such as materials science, precision manufacturing, cryogenic engineering, and on-orbit deployment.
Lu An asked: "Have the design parameter targets of the telescope been determined?"
Huang Zongsheng replied: "We have formulated a preliminary plan. Just wait, I will send the document to you."
After a moment, Lu An received the document and immediately clicked on it to read it.
Main mirror diameter: 8.8 meters.
Resolution: 0.065 arc seconds @2 microns,
Working band: 0.5~35 microns.
Refrigeration temperature: 6K (-267.15℃).
Sunshield size: 28.6 meters × 19.1 meters Lu An quickly read dozens of parameters and indicators, and then looked at Huang Zongsheng in the video screen: "Teacher, this parameter target has high technical requirements. Can you handle it? I don't have much time to study the technical issues of this telescope."
To achieve the design goals of this program, without Lu An leading the team, the technical aspect is a big challenge for them.
But Lu An’s biggest problem is that he is too busy. No matter how good he is, he only has 24 hours a day like everyone else, and he doesn’t want to tire himself out like a bull.
