Chapter 677 No Other Way
The scene was quiet, everyone was listening to Fang Hong’s speech. Each award winner was allowed to give a speech, which lasted about ten minutes.

The content of the speech is generally about forward-looking industry development. If you don’t talk about these, no one will listen to your bragging on the stage.

People can find out about your own business by looking up information.

And those leaders also listen to these forward-looking things and verify from multiple perspectives whether their development is correct and whether they are on the right path.

But they don’t express their opinions, they just listen, and they have no control over making the final decision.

Liu Tianxian was not interested in these things. She just felt that these people were listening seriously and there was a desire for knowledge in their eyes, so she thought her man spoke very well.

“Energy: The energy source of the first technological revolution was coal, with the steam engine as the core; the energy source of the second technological revolution was oil, with the internal combustion engine as the core; the energy source of the third industrial revolution was electricity, with the computer as the core.

I think the fourth technological revolution in energy is computing power, with artificial intelligence as its core. Of course, it needs to be matched with electric energy, which in turn makes clean energy more prominent.

Because powerful computing power will inevitably consume a lot of electricity, the support of this electricity prompts us humans to develop recyclable and clean energy.

In order to consume less electricity and energy, humans must optimize algorithms, reduce redundant calculations, lower energy consumption, and achieve optimal economy.”

This is also the reason why Deepseek emerged and caused Nvidia’s stock to plummet, because it can achieve high computing power with less hardware and less electricity, allowing global computing manufacturers to reduce costs.

Of course, no matter how much it is reduced, GPU and AI chips are still needed, but they are used less.

“Maybe you don’t have any idea about the computing power I’m talking about, and you may doubt whether this thing is really that powerful and can have a subversive effect.

I don’t know if you have read a novel, a novel by Liu Cixin, in which there is a plot described like this: Someone entered a set of creation codes into a computer, established a digital model of a macroscopic object at the atomic level, and triggered the Big Bang.

The newborn universe expanded rapidly in blue light and then extinguished into black. This universe simulated by the large model is exactly the same as the universe we live in. “

Fang Hong paused for a moment to let them digest the scene, and then continued: “Is it the same as what some scientists have proposed? Perhaps our world, our universe, is calculated by a large model, and we may be the parameters.”

These words stunned everyone present, and they suddenly felt that artificial intelligence, computing power and other things had become very advanced.

However, more people with high levels and high cognition seem ordinary because they have seen a glimpse of the future.

What the principal said might be true.

“Whether it’s a novel or a hypothesis proposed by scientists, these all indirectly describe concepts such as big models, parameters, AI-generated content, and digital twins.

Believe it or not, computing power and artificial intelligence must rise and develop, not in the future, but now. These are the indispensable productive forces in the digital economy era. If an enterprise does not want to accept artificial intelligence, then it is waiting to die!
Therefore, the Internet of the future is no longer a technology or high-tech, it is just an infrastructure, no different from the roads and highways we usually take.

It is to facilitate people to communicate, exchange and share, that’s all, just like visiting relatives and friends in our real society.

So don’t think of Internet companies as high-tech companies. The Internet is just an ordinary company, just a new product in the past twenty years. If you look at BAT again in thirty years, it will be almost the same as a roadside vegetable market.

Just like the CDs, optical storage, laser technology, and digital media in the past, they sound very high-tech, right? In the past, they were very high-tech. Do you still think they are high-tech now? “

“Clap, clap, clap!” There was warm applause at the scene.

These words are well said. Technology is advancing, and Internet companies are only emerging products in the past twenty years, and they have been given the title of high-tech.

But the more I look at them now, the less they seem like high-tech, especially Baidu. They don’t look like that at all. Instead, they look more like someone selling fake drugs, making as much money as possible.

“So they are nothing special. They should not think that they are Internet companies and that they can take advantage of the Internet and label themselves as high-tech companies.

To put it bluntly, one makes money from women, one makes money from children, and one makes money from everything, but the service is not good. Please spend more time on customers. “

“Hahaha!”

“Clap clap clap!”

There was a mixture of laughter and applause in the conference hall, which was a complaint about all three BAT companies.

Alibaba makes money from women; Tencent makes money from children; especially Baidu, which makes money from everything but has no service experience. At least those two companies offer experience.

Jack Ma was still as calm and composed as ever, looking like he was very sophisticated, but in fact he couldn’t wait to go up and scold the principal.

It’s just that now it’s someone else’s speech, so he has to endure it for now, which makes him feel confused.

Li Yanhong was also present. He smiled awkwardly, his face flushed and his neck thickened. However, he had a good temper. He was often criticized and teased, but he never got angry or talked back.

For example, the Red-Dressed Leader said that he despised Li Yanhong the most in his life; Jack Ma also criticized her.

“The development of science and technology needs to make humans happier, more relaxed and healthier, and to make the economy more sustainable. If you can’t achieve these, I think your technology doesn’t have much meaning,” said Fang Hong.

This is another allusion to Li Yanhong!
Of course, Fang Hong was not targeting him, he had other intentions: “Just like what I heard recently, a professional Go player played Go against a robot and defeated the professional Go player with a score of 5 to 0. What’s the meaning of this? What is the fun of playing Go? It’s when you make a bad move, that’s the fun. But the robot doesn’t even make a bad move, so how can you have fun playing with it? No, it’s just insulting you.”

“Hahaha!” Laughter rang out again. What the principal said was quite interesting. It was just a joke.

But the words were also very forward-looking. The entire speech was about artificial intelligence and computing power. Some high-level people know that the country is already working on it and has already made plans.

In fact, there are capable people at the top who have already seen a glimpse of the future. Otherwise, they would not have developed ultra-high voltage Internet and ultra-high voltage electricity.

Because computing power requires powerful electricity as energy consumption, which is also the reason why our country ranks first in the world in electricity and later on has super awesome computing power, we have long seen a glimpse of the future and are making plans.

Of course, I may not see it clearly enough. If I could see it clearly, I would not disable the GPU.

This was banned because of games. The authorities thought that this thing was not very useful and could only be used for playing games, so they cracked down on this industry.

The game at that time really harmed a lot of people and caused a lot of complaints from parents, so we cracked down on it.

But this thing is really not very useful. For example, ADM’s GPU is not good for productivity, and productivity means video editing, 3D modeling, scientific computing, etc.

It seems that Huang is still very awesome. He saw artificial intelligence in the early 2000s and spared no effort to develop AI computing power.

“Artificial intelligence in the future will be a product with high computing power and high energy demand, but the benefits and industrial development it brings will also be huge. Smart manufacturing can reduce industrial waste by 90%.

Technological innovation will inevitably bring about a lot of misunderstandings and unpredictable risks, such as new energy vehicles.

This also requires high computing power and integrated high-speed computing in all aspects. Some people may not understand when I say this.

Electric cars have been around for a hundred years, but batteries have not improved for decades. So let me ask you, was there artificial intelligence a hundred years ago? Was there artificial intelligence to manage batteries and control motors decades ago?
The tram itself is no longer a purely mechanical device; it is a form of intelligence that still needs improvement. Even a product as awesome as the smartphone took many years of iteration before it was accepted and recognized by people and replaced feature phones.

Not to mention more complex cars.

When I said this, some people thought, what’s so complicated about it? It’s just a car shell, four wheels and a battery pack, just like an electric scooter. It’s really superficial. If it were that simple, many countries around the world would have done it. Who couldn’t produce an electric scooter?

Why not do it? This requires a huge energy system. There are still many countries on the earth that cannot achieve electricity self-sufficiency. Some countries even have difficulty in generating electricity. How can they do it?

Europe is a place where the energy system is very fragile. Believe it or not, any random problem can lead to a large-scale power outage in Europe. I am not exaggerating. It is very likely to happen one day in the future.

Europe cannot come up with anything too innovative because of energy constraints and computing power constraints, which are their shortcomings.”

When Fang Hong said this, people below were whispering.

A view I have never heard of before is that it is not that Europe does not want to do it, but that Europe is inherently constrained.

This surprised them very much. The principal’s words would inevitably bring about a wave of good news for electric vehicles. Li Bin, Li Xiang, Xiaopeng and other new car-making forces in the audience listened very enthusiastically.

Yes, fuel vehicles are a backward product!

In fact, whether it is electric cars or artificial intelligence, they all rely on big data computing power, which will force the entire country and the world to develop renewable clean energy supply.

For example, wind power and photovoltaic power require intelligent scheduling. It is not the case that they can generate electricity just by leaving them there in the sun.

This is the opportunity for the development of electric vehicles, an inevitable product of multiple factors including computing power, clean energy, technology-driven, overtaking in other lanes, industrial chain, and replacing real estate.

If you want to compete with your foreign counterparts for the market, you cannot follow them in developing fuel vehicles, but instead switch tracks and develop electric vehicles.

Another thing is that real estate must have emerging industries to take over, which is to gradually abandon real estate and replace it with electric vehicles.

That is, the real estate industry will slowly land, and cars will be used to replace real estate to achieve new growth and drive employment. After all, the price of cars is similar to that of real estate, and it is a technical industry and is of higher quality than real estate.

What’s more important is that it can be exported, but real estate cannot be exported. Therefore, replacing real estate with electric vehicles is the plan above, and this is also the reason for the crazy subsidies above.

In fact, this task was originally assigned to 5G, and a big bet was placed on it, but those who know about 5G know it, so there is nothing we can do and electric cars have to do it.

Because everyone who knows about real estate knows that it can’t last forever. You can’t keep real estate growing forever!

This is also the reason why Fang Hong has always supported the country’s development of electric vehicles and has repeatedly advocated for electric vehicles. No matter how difficult this thing is, it must be developed because there is no other way. We can only bet and move forward.

Real estate is not enough. We must have emerging industries to take over, drive development, and create jobs. It is necessary.

But he doesn’t have many resources and funds, and it will be too late to do this after he has finished other things.

His only way out is to bet on artificial intelligence, hoping to come up with something, which is also what the higher-ups have bet on.
