Chapter 423: Chapter 269 Primitive Humanoid Brain Intelligence (6/10 Alliance Leader Add more)_1

The morning of September 30th.

It was the first time Ding Yue woke up in his new room in Elegant Garden No.1 apartment.

He had planned to go to bed early last night.

However, as he was browsing on his phone before he knew it, it was late into the night. When he woke up again, it was already ten in the morning.

Today was a significant day for Mist City Arts and Science University.

Firstly, the sophomores began their National Holiday break. A lot of students went home or took advantage of the holiday to travel.

However, at least over ten thousand students stayed on campus, neither returning home nor going out to play.

Besides, today was also the premiere day of "Super Combat Team," an animated film produced by Mist City Arts and Science University.

However, screenings would only begin after six in the afternoon.

After waking up, the first thing Ding Yue did was check the national film scheduling rate for the National Holiday Period.

Film: "Space Fortress"

Scheduling Ratio: 35.7%

"Goodness, how could the scheduling ratio for "Space Fortress" directed by Ma Wenhai hit so high?" As soon as Ding Yue saw the scheduling rate for this science-fiction film, he was in awe.

Many hit films would debut during the National Holiday Period, and "Space Fortress" accounted for nearly thirty-five percent of the scheduling rate.

How many cinemas could he have influenced?

Besides, as of yesterday, Ding Yue began noticing the hot debates about "Space Fortress." However, he was certain that these hot topics were bought, after all, they jumped to the top places directly, and they are all related to the young male star.

Considering this high scheduling ratio, Ding Yue estimated that the box office of "Space Fortress" would possibly reach a hundred million yuan from six in the evening to midnight today.

Unfortunately, with high scheduling ratios, even if the seating rate is relatively low, the basic box office wouldn’t decline too much.

"Money makes the world go round," he sighed.

The blockbuster, "Space Fortress," claimed to have invested several billion yuan; perhaps more money was spent on non-production costs?

Film: "Chronicles of Demon Sealing"

Scheduling Ratio: 29.1%

Ding Yue also checked the second-highest scheduled film, "Chronicles of Demon Sealing", which was expected.

Whether it’s about special effects or actors, "Chronicles of Demon Sealing" has a stable base. The investors and director are pretty famous in this field as well.

"Chronicles of Demon Sealing", a popular film debuting in the National Holiday Period, holding a scheduling ratio of 29 percent is pretty standard.

And 29 percent is already a high scheduling ratio.

If the reputation of "Chronicles of Demon Sealing" isn’t bad after its release, earning 1.5 billion yuan at the box office should be feasible.

The third-highest scheduling ratio, unsurprisingly, is "Our Youth Time."

Film: "Our Youth Time"

Scheduling Ratio: 21.6%

It is impressive that this youth love film, screened on a large scale, has such a high scheduling rate on its first day.

Just these three super popular films take up about eighty-five percent of scheduling ratios.

Thus,

The remaining scheduling ratios can only account for the last fifteen percent.

Ding Yue originally predicted that twenty to twenty-five percent would be allocated to films excluding these three.

Unexpectedly,the reality was beyond his expectations. The capital behind these three films, especially "Space Fortress," is indeed substantial!

Usually there are reasons behind such a large disparity in scheduling ratios compared to other popular movies.

Film: "Super Combat Team"

Scheduling Ratio: 8.7%

Ding Yue finally saw the fourth-highest scheduling ratio belong to "Super Combat Team," the animated film from his own school, Mist City Arts and Science University.

Since Mist City Arts and Science University didn’t sign a more in-depth scheduling contract with the cinemas, the cinemas scheduled the screenings based on their forecast and the film’s popularity.

Although "Super Combat Team" is quite popular, most of the scheduling slots were taken away by the three films — "Space Fortress," "Chronicles of Demon Sealing," and "Our Youth Time."

However, Ding Yue was ready for this situation.

Besides, he thought that the box office proceeds of "Super Combat Team" from Mist City Arts and Science University don’t solely depend on the scheduling ratio of the first day of release.

But the public review and seating rate do make a difference.

As long as its public review is positive, the cinema will realize the film’s potential, and naturally, increase the scheduling ratio for the film in the following days.

Film: "The Magic Lamp"

Scheduling Ratio: 3.3％

Movie: "Debt of Death"

Screening proportion: 2.1%

...

The rest of the films hardly got a share of the screenings.

Ding Yue made a rough prediction.

According to the current proportions of screenings, on the first day of release, the box office earnings will most likely be highest for "Space Fortress", followed by "Chronicles of Demon Sealing", then "Our Youth Time".

The next would be "Super Combat Team" by Mist City Arts and Science University.

Ding Yue was prepared for the fact that the box office earnings of "Super Combat Team" on its first day of release would certainly be somewhat less compared to the other three popular movies.

Just as Ding Yue was checking the Cat Eye data, a call suddenly came in through his cell phone.

The call display showed—CEO Wang Liwu of Guoxing Technology!

"Huh?"

Ding Yue muttered.

Then he picked up the phone: "Hello, Mr. Wang."

"Principal Ding, the 7-nanometer gallium nitride chip you wanted was air shipped to Mist City last night by our company. I believe it should have almost arrived by now," Wang Liwu said with a chuckle on the other end.

"Is it ready already? That’s quite efficient," responded Ding Yue, his heart filled with joy. He then asked, "If it was delivered by air, it should be at Mist City Airport right now. Is there a designated vehicle to send it over?"

"Principal Ding, rest assured, we’ve arranged for that gallium nitride chip you need to be delivered the whole way," answered Wang Liwu.

This is, after all, a chip that costs a million yuan to make!

Moreover, it is the first gallium nitride chip used for civilian purposes in the country. Guoxing Technology also produced another fifteen chips specifically for military use.

"That’s great. I’ll be waiting at school for the arrival of this gallium nitride chip," Ding Yue said with a chuckle. "Thanks, Mr. Wang."

"Principal Ding, don’t mention it. I believe we will have ample opportunities for cooperation in the chip business in the future."

"Sure, sure."

Mr. Wang was not wrong at all.

The medical healthcare robots made by Mist City Arts and Sciences University are constantly being produced on the assembly line and being sold to hospitals all over the country at a price of 100,000 yuan each. After all, orders from hospitals across the country have piled up.

Hence, the chips needed to manufacture these Big White, the medical healthcare robots, must be ordered from Guoxing Technology.

Previously, An Yujia told Ding Yue that ever since Feiyue Group started working with Guoxing Technology on gallium nitride semiconductor material technology, the price Guoxing Technology had been offering for regular chip orders from Feiyue had been somewhat reduced.

This goes to show Mr. Wang’s sincerity.

After discussing matters related to potential future cooperation with Mr. Wang, Ding Yue hung up the phone, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the gallium nitride chip.

At the same time, he called over Xu Bin.

"Yue, is the chip arriving soon?"

"Um-hum, Mr. Wang from Guoxing Technology just called me to say they had air transported it and it should be at the airport by now."

"Great, once we have this gallium nitride chip, I can take the computer team and start writing an anthropomorphic intelligence program for Big White!" Xu Bin exclaimed with immense excitement.

The purpose of the gallium nitride chip that Ding Yue ordered was very clear to Xu Bin.

To upgrade Robot No.1, Big White, from having basic "artificial intelligence" to an advanced level, other than needing this very powerful gallium nitride chip, we will also need the software from Xu Bin and his computer team!

Xu Bin and his team believed that the development direction of AI should be based on a framework similar to human neural systems, namely, writing a similar set of mental logic to human neuron, endowing the robot with the ability to learn, rather than rigidly executing the fixed program in the chip.

The healthcare robot Big White made by Mist City Arts and Sciences University is currently running on its inherent chip program, whether it’s a healthcare chip or a law chip.

But now, Ding Yue is planning on upgrading Big White.

Once that first Big White gets its upgrade, it will become a semi-intelligent robot, and even though its functions will to some extent be limited by physical design, it will hold much more capabilities compared to robots with fixed function chips.

And this AI-driven robot, Big White, could not be mass-produced for now. Even if Mist City Arts and Sciences University becomes successful, it will still be for Ding Yue’s personal use only.

The intelligent technology that Ding Yue had obtained was given to Xu Bin’s team, which was why they are capable of developing a neural-like intelligent program.

Xu Bing named this type of AI as—Anthropomorphic Intelligent Robot.

It sounds pretty impressive. In reality, it leverages software to simulate human cognitive function. Though an intelligent robot like this is a long shot from becoming a genuine AI with its own consciousness, it’s still somewhat intelligent.

Ding Yue understood that the anthropomorphic intelligent robot Xu Bin mentioned is still a pseudo-AI due to technology limitations.

It’s just that its level of intelligence may be higher than ordinary robots.

Ding Yue had seen real AI technology in the System Mall, but it requires a higher university level to exchange and unlock it.

During lunch when Ding Yue, Xu Bin, Old Huang, and secretary Wen Ruohan were dining at Cafeteria No.2, Wen Ruohan received a call from the security personnel at the school gate.

"It’s the delivery vehicle from Guoxing Technology? Okay." After receiving the call, Wen Ruohan turned to Principal Ding and announced, "Principal Ding, Guoxing Technology’s delivery has arrived and is outside the gate. The security guard is asking where he should deliver it."
