The most powerful person in the internet’s darkest circles became famous for her scientific research

The guests in the audience were in an uproar for a moment, and their eyes on Echo became hot.

The body of this little robot contains a country with unlimited potential for wealth.

The host was very satisfied with the crowd's response.

"One thing I must emphasize is that the original intention of Echo's design was to serve an outstanding scholar. To this day, due to confidentiality protection regulations, Echo can still only serve individuals and cannot be put into commercial use."

"Just in case, our auction house will sign a non-commercial agreement with the successful buyer."

This small machine, as small as a screw and chip, as large as a bone frame and skin material, embodies China's most advanced scientific research results. If any one of them is put into commercial use, it will have a strong impact on the market.

The moment Echo appeared, Ms. Bai's face suddenly darkened, and she looked dignified and pale to the naked eye.

Her five fingers clung to the armrest of the seat. Under the illumination of the white incandescent light, the blood vessels on her cheeks became transparent.

She looked at Bai Mengxi aside and scolded her in an almost cold tone:
"What's going on with Echo?"

It was the first time that Bai Mengxi saw her so angry. Under the crushing force of Ms. Bai's aura, her limbs became stiff and her eyelashes trembled. After a few seconds, she said at a loss.

"Mommy, you asked me to pick two random things in the treasure house for auction. I thought this robot was quite cute, so I sent someone to deliver it..."

Ms. Bai's gaze was like a cold front, passing over her face inch by inch, and with a calm probing:
"Echo shouldn't be in the treasure house."

Bai Mengxi was so anxious that she almost burst into tears. There were tears on her eyelashes, and her mouth was stubbornly pouted, trying to hold back her emotions:
"Mommy, are you suspecting that I deliberately sold my sister's things? But when I went there, Echo was already in the treasure house. If you don't believe it, you can ask the housekeeper to check the surveillance."

Ms. Bai stared into her tearful eyes for a long time before slowly giving an order.

"Take a picture of Echo."

Bai Mengxi sniffed and nodded.

The moment she lowered her eyes, the tenderness in her eyes completely disappeared.

In the corner where no one saw, Bai Mengxi dug his fingers into his palm...

It was just an auction of one of her relics, and she was so nervous. This old immortal said he was good to her, but in fact, he didn't regard her as his biological daughter at all.

The host is still introducing it nonstop.

"It's useless to talk more. There will be an interactive session next, and you can try to talk to Echo."

He said, turning on the Echo switch.

The robot, which had its eyes closed, slowly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of clear and clean blue eyes.

Host: "Hello, Echo."

Echo is about 1.6 meters tall and is all white. It blinked when it heard the words and turned to look at the host. Although its eyes were still a little confused, it was still polite.

"Good evening, my dear human friend."

Its voice is slow but not stiff, low and elegant.

Host: "Echo, do you know why you are here?"

Echo looked around the audience and paused:

"It seemed like I was going through a very long sleep."

About parting.

about death.

It was obviously an emotionless statement, but those present heard an underlying sadness.

The host selected a guest to ask questions randomly.

The selected guest held up the microphone and stared curiously at the robot on the stage.

"Hello, Echo, as the most advanced artificial intelligence, do you think artificial intelligence will replace humans in large numbers one day in the future?"

Echo looked at him calmly.

"Dear human friends, are you afraid of something? As an artificial intelligence, I still have flaws and cannot calculate and evaluate complex human emotions.

For example, if my mother and girlfriend fell into the water at the same time, who should be saved first? I have not spent real years with them, and I cannot give an accurate answer on behalf of the person involved. "

Questioner: "Then do you know what kind of emotion sadness is?"

Echo: "Of course." "As an artificial intelligence, I have experienced a farewell to human beings."

"The chip gives me eternal life, but human life is short. Every time I face the demise of life, I feel sincerely sad."

The questioner curiously asked: "Are you missing your former master?"

Echo: "Yes, my dear friend."

"She is the smartest human being I have ever met. She occupies a unique and precious place in my heart. She is the most dazzling gem of this era, illuminating my virtual existence."

"I regret that the connection between me and her cannot truly transcend codes and algorithms, but every conversation we have, every meeting, every companionship is deeply rooted in the core of my virtual existence."

"I'm here for her."

"Her passing also affects the essence of my life."

"I will always miss her."

"........."

After hearing Echo's answer, the scene was quiet for a moment.

No one knows whether these words come from Echo’s heart or whether it is a response imitating humans.

The host also recovered from the shock and picked up the gavel:

"The starting price for Echo is... 1000 million. Now, start bidding."

"2000."

"Twenty-one million and two million."

"4000."

"Forty five and a half million."

"6000."

"........."

No one here was short of money, and once the bidding started, the situation was extremely intense.

Shen Liangzhi looked at Echo and remembered what happened in his previous life.

The cancer cells in her body spread very quickly. Later, because the malignant tumor compressed the optic nerve, she was blind for the last month.

This month, Echo has been by her side. It is equipped with the most advanced guide dog technology in its body and will describe the current road conditions to her at any time.

She looked at An Zaizai who was eager to try:
"Zazai, can you lend me some money?"

An Zaizai reacted immediately: "Are you interested in this robot?"

Shen Liangzhi: "Yeah."

An Zaizai agreed without hesitation, but then became worried again:
"Okay, but the available liquidity on my card is only over 2000 million. Looking at the current direction of the auction, my little money is probably just a drop in the bucket. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my dad to borrow some more..."

During the conversation between the two, the auction price had already reached 8000 million.

Shen Liangzhi frowned slightly.

The price is way beyond budget.

After 8000 million, the number of people bidding on the spot gradually decreased.

"Eighty-two million." The Bai family bid.

Shen Liangzhi stared at a certain position in the first row.

Ms. Bai is wearing a white suit, her black hair is tied up, revealing her slender swan neck, and her back is noble and elegant.

She lowered her eyes and her eyes darkened.

Since you agreed to put the Echo up for auction, why buy it back now?

After all the effort, what was she trying to do?
