A month later, in the coastal area on the outskirts of Shangdu, in an unfrequented warehouse.
Chen Chen pressed the last button. The progress bar flashed and a compressed package appeared on the desktop of the computer.
Chen Chen opened the Android emulator and installed and ran the compressed package.
Immediately, the interface of the emulator flashed. A transparent film quickly spread out and covered the entire screen.
Following that, Chen Chen opened an English webpage on the emulator. The image of the webpage flashed and lines of fine red Chinese characters appeared between the gaps of the English text.
This was the meaning of the English translation into Chinese.
Moreover, the translated meaning had almost no logical flaws. The only thing missing was the embellishment, which made it look a little stiff.
Still, compared to other translation software, it was many times more convenient.
Following that, Chen Chen switched out and opened the interface of the translation software. After that, he opened the option for translation mode. The default option for translation mode was "embedded translation".
Below this option, there were two options: "substitutive translation" and "contrasting translation".
Apart from that, he could also adjust the font and color selection after the translation.
Chen Chen thought about it and selected the substitutive translation option. Then, he looked at the English webpage again.
This time, instead of the red translation words appearing between the original text, the English font of the entire webpage had been directly replaced with Chinese characters.
However, what was surprising was that this change did not damage the structure of the webpage at all. It was as if the website was originally a Chinese website, as if it was naturally formed.
After confirming that there were no issues with the software, Chen Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly said to the screen in front of him, "X, help me add a dynamic protection shell to the program and convert it to Android, IOS, and PC formats. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Understood, Dad."
Suddenly, a young child's voice came from the speaker. After that, without anyone controlling it, the computer automatically opened all the software and the liquid cooler of the mainframe began to hum!
If a stranger saw this, they would probably exclaim in surprise. The four computers in front of Chen Chen were connected to each other, forming a computing cluster. The image of each computer was flashing rapidly as if there was a person with extremely fast reflexes using all four computers at the same time.
In a short while, the work that would normally take a person several days or even weeks was completed by the computers. At this time, Chen Chen had not even finished washing up.
X was the program code Chen Chen had extracted from the game Oasis.
In addition to graphics, there were also a large number of NPCs in Oasis. Although these NPCs were still in the state of weak artificial intelligence and did not have real consciousness, their level of intelligence was undoubtedly beyond that of all the current AIs.
The program that gave rise to this group of NPCs was the core code of X.
Through a more complex algorithm that was similar to the Fish School Algorithm, it could simulate the neural fluctuations of the human brain. This program could simulate 80% of human thinking and even had logic.
Turing, the father of computer science and artificial intelligence, once defined a concept:
If more than 30% of the testers didn't realize that the other party was a computer, it meant that the computer had "human intelligence".
This concept was known as the "Turing Test."
It was obvious that X's intelligence had reached the point where it could easily pass the Turing Test. It was even close to Jarvis from "Iron Man".
However, this did not mean that X was already an intelligent life because in essence, it was still a product of countless programs. It did not have self-awareness like humans, could think, and so on.
Moreover, to prevent the plot in Terminator from happening, Chen Chen had placed several shackles on X.
Among them were embedding Chen Chen's own command in the core program as the highest command, not allowing self-replication, not allowing any information from the Internet without Chen Chen's authorization, and so on.
After all, there was a precedent. Back then, an artificial intelligence named Tay released by Microsoft only spent a day on the Internet and became a racist, pro-freedom "bad girl".
However, X and Tay were far different. Just the conversation between Chen Chen and X alone would scare who knew how many engineers who studied computational semantics to the point of paralysis.
In general, a voice assistant could help the user complete some tasks that were within their capabilities with their voice. For example, when the user opened the voice assistant program on their phone and casually said, "Call XXX", the voice assistant could help the user complete the task of making a phone call.
However, who had ever seen a user use a voice assistant and say, "You're already a mature voice assistant. It's time to learn how to do your own work. Help me finish the rest of the work?" Something as crazy as that?
If the voice assistant really finished the work for them, the user would be scared shitless instead.
When Chen Chen was done washing up, X had also completed the task Chen Chen had instructed. The three brand-new compressed packages were completely packaged and left alone on the table.
"X, what name do you think we should give this software?" Chen Chen suddenly wanted to test X's intelligence again.
"Dad, as my creator, you should know that I haven't been implanted with any creative modules." X's voice sounded a little aggrieved.
"Alright, in that case, let's name this real-time translation software Little X Translation Assistant. After all, it's stripped from your core intelligence." Chen Chen thought for a moment and said.
"Understood, Dad." On the computer screen, the three packaged compressed packages were automatically renamed with the words [Little X Translation Assistant].
"Has the bug been tested?" Chen Chen asked while drying his hair.
"Not yet, Dad."
X's childish voice answered again, "If you want to conduct a new round of improvement, it'll take about 325 hours of testing. Do you want to test it?"
"No need. Just send the compressed packages directly to the mailboxes I've specified."
Chen Chen thought about it. In any case, the software had a user error window. After the official release, many users would naturally send in bugs of their own accord. There was no need to waste time testing it himself.
"Understood, Dad."
As X answered in a childish voice, he opened some mailboxes with multiple lines of operation. Then, the software that had just been packaged was sent out.
Along with the software was a short introduction.
"This product has extremely powerful language processing technology. Unlike other translation software, it can do its best to restore the original meaning of the language. It also has a seamless intelligent pattern processing ability. It can convert foreign fonts into the user's language without affecting the image of the web page."
