In February, the EU was established.

Summer also began its layout in the EU.

Most European countries are developed countries, such as France, Germany, Italy, etc., and are even more old capitalist countries with developed economies and prosperous industries. Especially in the field of high-tech manufacturing, they are world-leading.

For example, semiconductor manufacturing technology, such as ultra-high precision machine tools, such as industrial robots, such as large-scale engineering equipment, such as high-tech materials technology, such as engine technology, etc.

These manufacturing industries have relatively high technological content and high added value, which can even be said to be a huge profit.

Industrial robots developed in Germany are more than ten times more expensive than those developed in China. Even second-hand goods are higher than domestic products. Even so, Chinese factories are still willing to introduce German second-hand robots. This is because the robots developed by others are more stable, more reliable, and have higher production efficiency. This is the advantage of leading technology.

The reason why European countries have such advanced technology is because they started early, after all, the first and second industrial revolutions originated in Europe. After that, although they were later brought up by the United States and Fusang and gradually surpassed them, Europe still has its foundation.

Second, education in Europe is relatively developed. Global high-end institutions such as Cambridge, Oxford, Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, University of Copenhagen, Imperial College London, University of Paris Six, University of Munich, University of Oslo, etc., are all gathered in Europe.

These higher education institutions have cultivated a large number of talents for Europe and contributed sufficient talents to their scientific and technological research and development.

Third, Europe has a developed economy. Not only are the countries generally attaching importance to scientific research, but even companies are willing to invest huge amounts of money in the research and development of new technologies. For example, Germany's well-known Siemens disclosed in its fiscal year report for 2016 that the funds they invested in research and development reached 4.7 billion euros, accounting for nearly 6% of the company's annual revenue.

Xia Tian knew that it was difficult for him to acquire European high-tech companies. If he wanted to buy them, others would not sell them to him. Even if he bought them, he might not get the core technology.

For example, in his previous life, Geely acquired the Swiss luxury car Volvo. Although it was fully controlled, Geely failed to send an executive to Volvo for eight years. Volvo guarded Geely like a thief and did not share its most core technology with it.

So Xia Tian didn't expect to be able to open the Internet, so he did not acquire any companies, but just set up a laboratory in Europe to recruit European scientific research talents to help him do scientific and technological research.

Xia Tian knows the trends of future technology.

Genetic science, the Internet, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data and 3D printing are the six most promising industries in the future.

Xia Tian is now on the Internet, and cloud computing and big data are also in the trial stage.

He is now investing huge amounts of money in the field of artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence mainly studies disciplines that enable computers to simulate certain human thinking processes and intelligent behaviors (such as learning, reasoning, thinking, planning, etc.), mainly include the principle of computers implementing intelligence, and create computers similar to human brain intelligence, so that computers can achieve higher-level applications.

It was officially proposed in 1956. After decades of development, by the 1980s, it had already produced many research results and had been put into commercial use.

In 1986, the sales of software and hardware related to AI in the United States reached 420 million US dollars. Companies such as DuPont, General Motors, and Boeing used artificial intelligence in large quantities. Even in the Gulf War, smart devices were put into the battlefield, and they successfully withstood the test of artillery fire.

Xia Tian knows that artificial intelligence in the future is very important.

Its application range is very wide, such as the finance industry, service industry, manufacturing industry, transportation industry, medical industry, communication industry, entertainment industry, and even toy industry, which can all be used in artificial intelligence.

Although he started a little late now, ibm had already set up an AI research group in 1957 to study AI technology. In 1997, the computer "Deep Blue" developed by ibm even defeated Kasparov, the world's top chess master at that time, causing a sensation.

However, it is better to start late than not. At least there are still people who are rushing now. Otherwise, it will be difficult to catch up until the next century.

By then, other countries and other companies would have long registered a large number of patented technologies in the field of artificial intelligence and enclosed land as king. At that time, it would be difficult to achieve something.

Just like Qualcomm, it incorporates its own unique CDMA technology into the 3g standard. Now, all mobile phones that use 3g technology will use its patented technology. In this way, it will receive the slightest return just by collecting patent funds.

So now it is very beneficial for the company to start research and development and register more patented technologies.

At that time, you can not only charge patent fees, but also share patents with other technology companies to avoid being constantly sued by patent hooligans.

...

The new laboratory is named "Tiangong Laboratory", which means "smart work".

The laboratory is located in Cambridge, England, and is a neighbor of the Arm chip design company.

In this way, the technology of both parties can be shared.

Artificial intelligence cannot be separated from chip computing, and chips also need smarter and more efficient computing, so the two complement each other.

Summer hopes that one day, Tiangong Laboratory and Arm Design Company can successfully design an artificial intelligence chip, and then he will be rich.

At that time, this chip will be used in autonomous driving, unmanned supermarkets, unmanned warehouses, intelligent robots... and other fields, earning him huge wealth of more than 100 billion US dollars.

Because its prospects are so broad, summer is willing to spend money on investment. Not only did it spend a lot of money to hire top experts in the industry to form a strong scientific research team, it is also expected to invest six-figure R&D funds within five years.

In addition, Tiangong Laboratory has also sponsored research teams from many European universities to realize technology sharing and transfer scientific research results to commercialization as soon as possible.

The establishment of Tiangong Laboratory has not alarmed anyone except for the industry's attention. The birds quietly opened and the birds quietly opened, which is in line with the character of making a fortune in summer.

...

The reason why summer did not open a Tiangong Laboratory in the Mainland is mainly because of the lack of talents in the Mainland. High-tech technologies such as computers and artificial intelligence are just starting out and there is relatively scarce talents.

Moreover, nowadays, most of the talents in the mainland work in state-owned scientific research institutions, so they dare not poach others' corners in summer.
