Chapter 153 Simultaneous Translation
"Cheng Xue started to move."
After listening to the news from Lin Shiqin, Wang Yi realized that he was ready.
The weather was getting colder, and snowflakes were already falling outside the window. Wang Yi casually looked at the snow outside, feeling the atmosphere of the approaching New Year, and a smile appeared on his face.
"In that case, we can start now. Give them some time to react. Just treat it as a New Year's gift..."
At this moment, Wang Yi suddenly looked up at the sky and then frowned.
"Go check the space observations of various countries to see how many meteorites fell just now and where they are roughly located."
Wang Yi's sudden words startled Lin Shiqin, but she responded quickly.
"No problem. Did you find anything? Is it serious?"
"Nothing, in this environment of low magic power, it's not a big problem..."
Wang Yi leaned back in his chair and continued flipping through his papers. He didn't feel that there was anything serious. He just felt a momentary burst of magic power, which was quite a big deal. However, this feeling was often encountered in other worlds. It was usually caused by the explosion of some special high-magic meteorites.
There might be some "small gifts" occasionally, but even in the magic power concentration of the other world, these things have no effect. Here we just see if there is a chance to collect some rare materials...
Lin Shiqin's investigation ability is beyond doubt, and some information about meteorites is not highly confidential. It can be confirmed through some astronomical organizations, so she quickly gave Wang Yi a reply.
"If the boss is looking for a special meteorite, then it did appear just now. A meteor exploded in the sky above the sea near Papua New Guinea. The number is: CNEOS2014-01-08. Moreover, this 0.9-meter-long meteor has attracted some attention and discussion among them..."
Normally it's no big deal for a meteor to enter the Earth, unless it's too big. This kind of meteor that has already disintegrated normally wouldn't attract much attention, but now that it's being discussed, it's clear that things aren't that simple.
"Preliminary records show that the speed of the meteorite when it entered the atmosphere was as high as 60 kilometers per second, which is beyond the capture capacity of the sun. And judging from its speed, altitude and the fireball produced when it decomposed, it is probably quite hard, requiring a strength of 113 megapascals to disintegrate. Its strength is five times that of a stony meteorite and twice that of an iron meteorite."
Lin Shiqin herself possesses extremely strong computing power, and based on the existing data, she can reach conclusions even faster than those observatories.
In fact, through these preliminary results, it can be determined that this meteorite came from outside the solar system...
"Disintegrated? In the sea?"
After hearing this, Wang Yi suddenly lost interest. He didn't have so much time to look for a needle in a haystack.
"There is a ship arranged by Da Piaoliang that is trying its luck to salvage the fish. It departed from Australia."
"Well, remind me if there are any results."
Wang Yi didn't think that the boat over there would get any result from this kind of needle-in-a-haystack situation...
…
After giving Lin Shiqin a reminder, Wang Yi pressed the button on the table again.
The young assistant Chen Qian walked in.
Qian Yayan is now integrating the company's internal structure, hoping to set the tone before the New Year, and then use a wave of bonuses to resolve some possible lows, so now it is Chen Qian's turn to pass on information.
"The R&D department has some new good stuff to announce. Please notify the little broken station to hold a video conference together."
"clear!"
Chen Qian seemed very happy when she heard that the company would have new work at the end of the year.
It can be said that everything the company comes up with currently is absolutely epoch-making, without exception!
So even though Wang Yi only gave a brief description, Chen Qian still had great expectations.
Soon after, the conference room was ready and the video conference began.
Even though it was a meeting convened by Wang Yi on the spur of the moment, all parties present were present.
It can be seen that Chen Jie seems to be still in the car, but he still turns on his mobile phone to connect to the meeting.
With channel compression capabilities, you can hold a meeting anytime and anywhere!
"A new software that can be embedded in videos or even live broadcasts. Well, I can call it 'simultaneous translation'..."
…
Hot!
Originally, everyone was waiting for a wave of carnival before welcoming the New Year. Although all parties had various activities, as it was approaching the Spring Festival, no big moves were made.
Is there anything good that will bring a good omen for the coming year?
However, the world's companies are doing the opposite.
The first is the update of the homepage of the small website that serves as the external mouthpiece of the world company, a groundbreaking software!
At the same time, the official WeChat account, official public account, and TT account started publishing simultaneously.
Wang Yi also reposted the message using Master Yi’s Weibo account and quoted his own answer when the editor-in-chief of the "Annals of Mathematics" invited him.
"Before, I was not good at English, but now it doesn't matter. 'Connect'"
Simultaneous translation software!
This wave of big revelations really shocked everyone.
In fact, translation software has already existed.
It's okay for translatable words, but once you start translating whole sentences, things get really messy.
In fact, there are companies researching this direction, and it is not impossible to improve.
By introducing AI algorithms and continuously feeding them large amounts of big data, the translation accuracy can be gradually increased as long as enough data is fed.
However, this increase is certainly relative, and there is definitely still some way to go before we can fully achieve so-called simultaneous translation.
But now, the World Company has directly launched such a software!
And first of all, the implantation and upgrade of the small broken station was completed!
For videos on the website, you can switch to subtitles in several major languages! Even audio!
Unlike the previous electronic mechanical sounds, now you can even choose the sound category!
It can be used by men, women, young and old, and can also support text input and voice conversion...
…
Modou, a small foreign trade company.
Today the company received a group of truly wealthy clients, because they all had a layer of white cloth wrapped on their heads, which were extremely rare and high-quality orders!
"I don't know if the miser will give a bonus if this kind of deal is concluded."
Xiao Liu casually flipped through the small broken website, with a look of melancholy on his face.
But at this moment, he heard the boss's low roar.
"Where's the translator? Where is the translator you hired?!"
Hearing this, even Xiao Liu couldn't help but be startled.
Complaints may be complaints, but the orders of my own company are still quite important. How could such a thing happen?
"Boss, we don't have our own Arabic translator. The one we had arranged to speak Arabic suddenly refused. We can't even pay more. It seems like we were snatched away by a competitor."
Someone gave feedback immediately.
Arabic is a minority language and not many people study it specifically.
This time, a wealthy man with a white cloth on his head came over, and many people were trying to snatch him away. In fact, the price of the translator they had booked had increased several times, but they didn't expect that he would be poached by someone else in the end.
"Where's the contract? Didn't you sign it?"
"He has signed it. Now he would rather lose money than come. It must be a deliberate trick by a competitor."
It is really unprepared to encounter this situation suddenly when the time comes.
The boss was almost jumping up and down in anger.
Then he turned around and saw the confused little Liu Dao
“I remember you were an English major!”
"Ah? Yes."
Xiao Liu was a little confused. Could it be that they wanted me to do it? It would be no problem to ask me to translate some documents and materials into English, but if I were to communicate directly with Arabs, the two sides might not be on the same page!
"I don't care about that anymore. It's your turn. If you do a good job, there will be a reward!"
This sudden rush made Xiao Liu panic. If he did a good job, he would be rewarded, but if he did not do well, he would be punished?
No, boss!
Then he quickly opened his phone and looked at the software that was pinned to the top of the website.
It's a good boast, but I don't know if it's really that strong. No matter what, let's try it out first and then talk about it...
…
"What is this? It's amazing! We want to buy this! How much is it!"
Standard Shanghai dialect appeared on the phone, and at this time a wealthy man wearing a white cloth on his head was pointing at the phone and saying in surprise that he wanted to buy this phone.
At this time, all the people in the company who were attending the reception were looking at the phone in confusion, unable to react.
Xiao Liu, the instigator, is stupid, but how can he really do this and translate it so accurately?
"Mr. Muhan, this is an APP application software that our country has just launched. There is a one-month free trial period, and then a membership system will be adopted, with a monthly membership fee of 6 US dollars..."
'Simultaneous Translation' itself has its own APP, and it has also been synced with other APPs under the World. The use of World-related APPs is free, but if you use the 'Simultaneous Translation' APP alone, you still need to pay a membership fee...
…
At first it was said to be a translation software, but in fact many experts didn’t pay much attention to it.
There are so many translation software nowadays.
But it was only discovered after someone tried and used it.
This is really 'simultaneous translation'!
Many people turned it on and listened to the pure American or London accent and almost thought they were taking a listening and speaking class!
"I can only convince! The translation is better than mine! Is my English major out of work?!"
"It's truly a world-class company! It's like opening the door to a new world!"
"Ah, this... Do we need to take English exams in the future? Are all foreign language majors considered unemployed?"
“I thought it was just a gimmick, but after opening it I was on my knees watching the video!”
“Good news for poor students!”
"Haha! I don't have to worry about being biased in one subject anymore!"
"Wake up, it hasn't been changed yet, so forget about it this term."
"The English test is not open book, what are you thinking about."
“…”
All kinds of comments and barrages instantly set off the entire network, it was simply explosive.
Although the statement issued by World Company was very brief.
But it really proves that the shorter the statement, the bigger the matter!
Another round of bloodbath!
What the world companies are launching right now is really sweeping the market.
Even if it is a small broken site that seems to be at a disadvantage in competition with its competitors now, that is because they are not spending money seriously. If they really spend money, they have a technological advantage. What can the Ali Alliance use to fight against them?
But now, the New Year is almost here, and you brought this kind of "good news", which really made many students from the Foreign Languages College curse.
Are you kidding me? Don’t mess with us!
This is not something you can even avoid by going abroad.
It also supports simultaneous filming and translation, so small companies can lose their translations.
It can be said that this has affected the jobs and future of a large group of people.
but……
Overall, this is definitely a magical artifact that attracts many people!
Some people have even started translating some of Japan's special movies.
"If I remember correctly, you were the first one on the Internet to post the beauty filter last time."
"Is this all you know? It's really disgusting! And remember to send the mysterious code to my email address XXXXX@qq.com ."
"Do I need to translate this? Don't you understand just a few words?"
"I know this, there is a plot, and it works great with the beauty filter."
"Then please send me a copy too..."
“…”
It can be said that this "simultaneous translation" software immediately received a lot of attention as soon as it came out.
This means that almost everyone can master several foreign languages!
But after this software came out, students from the Foreign Languages College and some translators were still crying and shouting.
But I didn't expect that there was a group of people who were even more excited.
"We must resist this kind of free-for-nothing software!"
"Why? I've worked so hard for so many years, and now everyone can get the same?"
"resist!"
The most excited ones turned out to be some related agents!
In fact, they are making money by taking advantage of the information asymmetry, relying on your lack of understanding.
But now with this software, as long as they are willing to spend time, their original information asymmetry advantages will be completely eliminated!
Some of the things that were boasted about in the past can immediately be found with many restrictive terms.
Originally, for the agents themselves, they only charge per person. What happens to the person after he/she leaves, how he/she lives, or whether he/she is dead or alive has nothing to do with them.
Just get the agency fee and you're done!
Anyway, those who have worked so hard to come out will have to swallow their anger and will help to say good things!
But now, customers can easily know the truth, and that’s completely different.
This will cut off someone's source of income.
But it is obvious that these people's clamor cannot change the general trend.
Simultaneous translation not only has a separate APP, but it is also directly embedded in Bilibili, live broadcast and TT.
Including, TT overseas version...
In an instant, the popularity swept the world!
