Stars and Stripes Country.
At the joint industrial and commercial roundtable meeting organized by the Ministry of Commerce.
Many Singaporean business giants attended the meeting.
The meeting was attended by Google President Bren Nelson, Apple President Romes Beck, Intel President Andy Noyce, and the leaders of technology giants such as IBN, HP, Scotia, and Oracle.
And the atmosphere at the venue today is solemn.
The expressions on the faces of all the tech giants were extremely serious!
At the beginning of the meeting, during the free speech period, several technology leaders could not help but express their views:
"Gentlemen, the situation is extremely critical. In Xia Country, an industrial revolution driven by information technology and artificial intelligence is taking place, while many of our representatives are still leisurely drinking coffee."
"They are making rapid progress, but we are still living in the beautiful dream we have woven."
"We must wake up immediately. We can't be a sleeping lion, nor can we be a slow-moving elephant. Instead, we must be the swift and mighty eagle we once were. In the technological competition with Xia Country, we must quickly regain our advantage and win the war in the field of science and technology!"
Google CEO Bren Nelson stood up and knocked on the table in front of him.
But this immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Ministry of Commerce boss Lazer Siss.
"Brun, how's your Google company's 'artificial intelligence' research going? Congress allocated you 3 billion Star Swords in the hope that you would quickly catch up with Xia Country and come up with more advanced 'artificial intelligence' technology. Now I don't hear you report good news, but I hear you complaining? Are you complaining about your own uselessness?"
"Mr. Lazer."
Romes Baker, president of the Fruit Company, had to interject, "The complexity of artificial intelligence is far beyond the imagination of engineers. Although we've integrated the most technologically advanced companies in Star Country to jointly tackle 'artificial intelligence' technology, the AI we've produced so far can only reach Level 2.5, far behind Xia Country's dark technology."
"To be honest, even if we give our engineers another five years and invest tens of billions of Star Blades in research and development, we may not be able to reach the level of Xia Country. I know this is pessimistic news, but in the field of artificial intelligence, the Xia Country is indeed far ahead of us."
Romes Beck's words made many technology giants open their eyes wide.
You have to know that Westerners generally speak more directly, but they actually have a "subtle" side. That is, in the field of science and technology, they don't quite believe that other countries will surpass Singapore. In most fields of science and technology, Singapore is number one.
If a stronger country emerges and surpasses Singapore in a certain technology, they will say that the technology is not actually advanced and they have already used it up, or they will say that the technology was learned or stolen from Singapore... In short, it is impossible for them to admit that "Singapore is not number one."
But this time, Fruit President Romes Baker was no longer "reserved" and frankly admitted that in terms of artificial intelligence technology, Star Country was far behind Xia Country and might not catch up within five years... This broke the tacit understanding that everyone had maintained in the past.
However, this time few people jumped out to scold Romes Beck for praising Xia Guo. Instead, they maintained an awkward silence.
After all, more than half a year has passed.
The changes in Xia Country were unknown to the ordinary citizens of Xing Country, who still felt like they were living in the 1960s and 1970s. But how could these elites be completely unaware? They were completely unaware.
But we pay close attention to it! We see it with our own eyes and feel anxious in our hearts.
However, after working hard for more than half a year, Singaporean engineers not only failed to close the gap, but instead concluded that the gap would still be about five years.
Although they are unwilling to accept this reality and hope to hear that the gap is only five months, or five days...but if that were the case, they would not have held this meeting in such a hurry and called all the technology giants together to discuss countermeasures.
"Gentlemen, we can't wait any longer."
The president of IBN stood up and said, "If we wait another five years, the Xia Kingdom by then will no longer be the Xia Kingdom we have today. Instead, it will become an even more terrifying behemoth, a nightmare that can easily destroy us. The center of global power, vast wealth, and all resources will be transferred from here to Xia Kingdom, and we will be reduced to beggars with nothing."
"Our pride, dignity, and rights will vanish without a trace in the face of an adversary so powerful it's like an alien."
"It's time to put aside our pride, send some money, and head to Xia Country to buy the 'artificial intelligence' technology we need from Dark Technology. Perhaps ten years from now our engineers will say this technology is backward, outdated, and worthless, but right now, we need it, desperately!"
"Some time ago, we had a conversation with Dark Technology. They said they would sell their AI technology and give us the core code, but we had to pay 100 billion Star Swords in full, all at once. As soon as the money arrives, the technical information will be sent to us soon."
"One hundred billion star knives?"
Lezer Sis frowned and said, "This price is too high! They are asking for too much! This money is enough for us to build two aircraft carrier battle groups."
"But this money can buy five years, and can buy back our rights, status, and dignity. And given the value of artificial intelligence, if it's applied on a large scale, it can bring about industrial upgrades and create a large number of jobs. Overall, this money is very worthwhile."
"Also, we can combine the purchase with multiple companies, each contributing 20 to 30 billion Star Swords, and Congress can provide some additional subsidies. It won't be difficult to raise 100 billion Star Swords."
