Watson's eyes widened, but he was not unfamiliar with this scene. They had used this tough attitude towards China countless times.
Windsor groaned on the ground. This woman really shines when given a little sunshine.
Did the US really want to know how advanced China's computer technology was? She felt that China was constantly throwing smokescreens, using ambiguous things to attract the attention of the US and EU.
In fact, their strength is not that strong.
If one is really good, she believes that no one will refuse the opportunity to show themselves.
Ji Xia said, "The next problem China needs to solve is artificial intelligence, which is the next stage that computers will inevitably enter after they develop to a certain level.
If you are truly interested in Chinese computers, I suggest you buy one and experience it for yourself. Our scientific research results are all in the physical world. As for academic discussions, I'm sorry, I don't think your opinions will be of any help to me. If I stay here, I'm wasting my time!"
After saying that, Ji Xia planned to step down.
Watson hurriedly stopped Ji Xia. He was about to reach out to pull Ji Xia, but Ji Xia stepped back with a cold look on his face. "Mr. Watson, please mind your words and actions!"
Watson's attitude was unprecedentedly good. He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. Well, beautiful lady, we have a few questions. Can we discuss them?"
"Please speak!" Ji Xia almost anticipated what he was going to ask.
Watson breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard that your research institute designed a language called C. How is this related to Bell Labs' B language?"
Watson's subtext is, did the C language you designed plagiarize the B language?
It’s a pity that language is language, not a work of art.
Ji Xia nodded generously. "Yes, C language inherits many ideas from B language. I admire Mr. Thompson very much. He has made great contributions to the computer industry!"
"Thank you, beautiful lady, for your generosity!" Watson was delighted. "You should know that B is a programming language designed by Bell Labs in the United States. Since C inherits many of B's ideas, can I understand that China is willing to share C's achievements with the United States?"
When this statement was made, all Chinese people were shocked. After all, the United States had never supplied the B language to China. China had explored the C language in its own way. Even though it had inherited many ideas from the B language, the United States had not made any contribution to the design of the C language.
Ji Xia shook her head, "No, we don't have that intention."
Watson was displeased and narrowed his eyes. "Ma'am, you just admitted that C inherited many of the ideas of B. There is no doubt that B is the result of the labor of Bell Labs."
Ji Xia said, "I admit that B language is the result of Bell Labs' labor. But Bell Labs has never shared their results with the China Computer Research Institute. C language is a new language that we designed independently.
English is a language designed by the ancestors of the American people. So, should all English-speaking countries now give money to the American people? Does this logic make sense?
Watson was a little stunned. "But C is more than just a language."
Ji Xia asked, "Then what should it be? In my opinion, it's a tool for human-computer communication. The difference between B language and C language is like the difference between Latin and English."
This was really hard to define. Watson was sweating profusely. He had never dealt with such a strong and unreasonable woman before, so he had no choice but to ask, "You just said we could buy computers and bring them back to the United States. Is that true?"
"If you want to buy it, just buy it!" Ji Xia said indifferently.
In fact, the computers exported by China are only slightly more advanced than those developed by the United States. They all have 4-bit processors, but their appearance is closer to that of later generations, with the host and monitor separated and equipped with a mouse and keyboard.
China's own CPU has already reached 32-bit processors and is about to enter the 64-bit processor era, which means that the technology reserves have reached 20 years.
All the foreigners were shocked. They didn't expect China to be so generous and agree to export their latest products. Thinking of China's current foreign exchange reserves, they felt relieved.
It seems that the problem is still caused by the word "poverty".
Watson knew it wasn't that simple. "Ms. Ji Xia, is the computer we can buy your latest research and development?"
Ji Xia looked at Watson as if he were a fool and asked, "Excuse me, can I buy an American aircraft carrier?"
Watson smiled and shook his head. "Ma'am, I'm sorry, I'm not a military officer. I'm not sure whether the military will agree to your request!"
Ji Xia smiled and said, "Director Lin from the Computer Research Institute is here. He can answer your question."
Ji Xia handed the stage to Lin Weizi, because as she said, she would not gain anything from this summit and there was no need to stay here.
Lin Weizhi felt somewhat helpless and had to take the microphone from a reporter. "We must be responsible to our users, so we must deliver to them products with the most complete performance and the most stable quality."
This indirectly answers Watson's question.
Ji Xia thought to herself that she was indeed not suited to diplomacy, as she wanted to offend the other party as soon as she opened her mouth.
Watson had no choice but to attack from another angle. "Ms. Ji Xia, we all know that you are currently China's most outstanding scientist, but so far, we haven't seen any of your articles or research results published in any international journals. Is it because China doesn't allow you to do this?"
Ji Xia smiled and said, "I think this kind of question is something a reporter should ask. All my scientific research results belong to my motherland. I don't need to explain my work to anyone or any country other than my motherland.
Because I don't need their approval. My time is precious, and I don't have time for this kind of work. The future will be an era of technological explosion. I am honored to witness this era, and I hope my country can lead it! "
There was warm applause in the auditorium, and Lin Weizhi and others were in tears.
Watson was a little embarrassed. He could say that he had never seen anyone crazier than Ji Xia, but he admitted that Ji Xia had the capital to be crazier.
Later, the U.S. Embassy submitted a severe complaint to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that the United States brought so many people to China, but the Chinese computer R&D personnel did not extend a warm greeting to them, but insulted them.
However, the research and development process, which they attach the most importance to, is not supported by Chinese R&D personnel.
