As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store

Chapter 772: Consider It a Test!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhou Chao could hardly believe his ears. He had already prepared himself to hand over some of the artificial intelligence technology, but unexpectedly, the leader threw him a curveball, leaving him momentarily stunned!

“You want me to start my own company in this field, did I hear that correctly, and it’s a private enterprise?!” Zhou Chao looked at Number One with a puzzled expression.

If it was a private enterprise, this company would be entirely his own, and no one could interfere with its affairs!

“You heard me right!” Number One looked at Zhou Chao with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Seeing the young billionaire’s astonished expression was quite amusing.

Number One paused, took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and continued, “We, a few old guys, discussed this matter. Initially, some suggested that you hand over this artificial intelligence technology. After all, you know its sophistication. Even Director Jiang’s artificial intelligence alone surpasses all domestic hacker security technologies.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao realized that they must have experimented with that simplified version of artificial intelligence. It seemed that nothing could resist its intrusion, otherwise, he wouldn’t be here now.

“You probably already have an idea,” Number One sighed heavily.

“We experimented a bit back then, and anything related to the network could be easily infiltrated, even the high seas…” Suddenly, Number One realized he was saying too much.

A smile played at the corner of Zhou Chao’s mouth. He understood that they had used Tencent as an experimental subject, and the experiment had been quite successful. He wondered if there had been any significant gains from it.

“You also know how important this technology is, especially considering it’s only a simplified version. If it were the complete version, it would mean that everything in science fiction movies could become a reality. Just from this perspective, this technology is no less than nuclear bombs that could destroy the world, or even surpasses them.”

“But rest assured, we have discussed it thoroughly. We won’t force you to hand over this technology. On the contrary, we need you to improve this technology as soon as possible and create more projects!”

Zhou Chao was a bit confused. With the power of the state, they could easily assemble a team of experts to research the technology. Why would they ask him to create a private company to develop artificial intelligence and related technologies?

Seemingly sensing Zhou Chao’s confusion, Number One smiled, “Are you wondering why the country doesn’t organize relevant researchers to develop the technology as soon as possible?”

“Yes! I’m a bit puzzled.” Zhou Chao didn’t hide his confusion.

“Because even those security experts couldn’t understand those technologies at once. Although there are ready-made ones, fully understanding them would take at least a few months.”

Upon hearing Number One’s explanation, Zhou Chao wondered if he had misheard.

The technology of those domestic hackers or red hackers ranked among the best in the world. How could they not understand it?

But Zhou Chao didn’t dwell on it. After all, Number One wouldn’t try to deceive him on such matters.

“As the developer of artificial intelligence, only you understand this technology the best. So, I hope you can take on the responsibility and research even more advanced artificial intelligence!”

Zhou Chao didn’t know how to respond for a moment. If he really developed a perfect artificial intelligence, he didn’t know what the consequences would be.

But thinking about the technologies stored in the system repository, he also felt somewhat unwilling.

“Leader, even if you let me autonomously research this technology, I don’t have the talent in this area. Even if I try to recruit experts from various universities, it will take time!”

Research on artificial intelligence must continue, as it affects every aspect.

If there was hope in the future, Zhou Chao even wanted to create the interstellar fleet from science fiction movies. Then, exploring the vast universe wouldn’t just be a dream.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chao trembled with excitement.

“As for personnel, don’t worry. We will have some experts in this field from the country cooperate with you. What you need to do is research various related technologies.”

“Really??” Zhou Chao stood up excitedly. If there were indeed experts from the country to cooperate, the technologies stored in his system repository, such as intelligent medical care, unmanned driving, bionic robots, and so on, could gradually be realized!

“Of course it’s true. Personnel selection has already begun. It should be completed in the next few days. You should think about where this company should be established.”

Zhou Chao fell into thought at the mention, earnestly considering it.

After a long time, Zhou Chao looked up at Number One and said, “Leader, I want to establish this company in Fog City!”

“Fog City?” Hearing Zhou Chao’s answer, Number One looked somewhat stunned, even widening his eyes slightly.

“Yes, Fog City!”

Instead of responding to Zhou Chao’s words, Number One pondered for a moment.

“Why did you think of Fog City? Could it be because Fog City is your hometown?”

“Hasn’t it always been said that as long as Shu does not perish, Huaxia will not fall? The importance of artificial intelligence technology doesn’t need further explanation. Establishing the company and research institute in Fog City is also to ensure its security, without attracting too much attention. Moreover, as a native of Fog City, investing in local enterprises and promoting local development should be no problem!”
