Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

In the studio, Zhou Rui's hands were flexible and he was constantly changing various tools. His whole movements were smooth and smooth, and he didn't know what he was "rubbing".

"Puff!" There was a slight sound of the negative pressure door opening, and Gan Yuan walked in.

Seeing that her boss was busy, Gan Yuan did not interrupt immediately and stood quietly waiting by the side.

After a while, Zhou Rui put the half-modified "ball" aside. The chair he was sitting on slid to the computer next to him. He was typing something and said, "How do you say it?"

"As for the Ministry of Agriculture, I hope you can attend the ribbon-cutting when the first 'Faunshen' is delivered. I asked about it. In fact, it is just a red rope hanging at the agricultural machinery club, and the local agricultural department will send people to join us."

Zhou Rui nodded and said: "No problem, we are in Jiangsu and Zhejiang anyway, half a day is enough."

"Then I will help you arrange the itinerary. In addition, Taobao will contact us and hope that we can reserve a batch of goods for the 11th Shopping Festival."

This Double 11 event just started last year, but last year it was just a test of the waters, and the scale was not large.

It’s been really heavily promoted this year.

Zhou Rui asked doubtfully: "We don't have any discounts, right?"

"There is no discount. They may subsidize one unit for 100 yuan. I mean, they just want to use this to hold an event to attract traffic."

"That's okay. We're still in the honeymoon period. It's okay to cooperate. Just keep 500 units."

"They want 10,000 units."

Zhou Rui turned around in his chair, raised his eyebrows and said, "They are thinking shit."

“Taobao said that their delivery is slow and they can deliver within 15 days.”

Zhou Rui shook his head: "The market is so tight now. If 10,000 units suddenly appear, retail consumers will feel cheated. Those who wait to buy and line up offline every day will also feel uncomfortable. 1,000 units is the most. If you can do it, do it; if you can’t, forget it.”

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I'll reply to them."

After Gan Yuan quit, Zhou Rui continued to program on the computer. He had "unity of knowledge and action" and "analogy". In the software engineering part, he could no longer see any reference objects.

Occasionally wandering around various coder forums, Zhou Rui feels that his level is not even generational, but it is also a generation behind.

Especially the "unity of knowledge and action" is really powerful

He was gaining knowledge and inspiration almost every moment. He didn't dare to think about what he would become if this continued for a few years or more than ten years.

After connecting the half-volume ball to the computer, Zhou Rui updated the control system, then returned the upper body of the ball to it and reassembled it into a ball.

Zhou Rui picked up the engineering version of the remote control and prepared to test it.

Spherical robots, often used as future robot shapes, appear in various science fiction works and have endured for a long time.

People always believe that this form with natural aesthetics will be one of the future development directions of robots.

But in reality, spherical robots are extremely rare because they greatly increase the difficulty of design and processing, have low space utilization, and have poor obstacle-crossing capabilities.

The so-called spherical robot is more flexible, but it is only for very special terrain. In fact, it cannot even go up even one step, and its "braking" ability during movement will be very poor.

But Zhou Rui has his own way.

Following Zhou Rui's operation, the ball robot on the ground rolled left and right.

"Well try the new function."

A gap appeared on the edge of the "ball". After a slight motor sound, the lower body deformed and stretched out four legs. It changed from a spherical shape to a strange, almost spider-shaped appearance.

The "ball" with legs began to move left and right as Zhou Rui manipulated it, looking quite flexible.

However, when moving forward and backward, I fell due to a sudden stop and reversed course.

Then he couldn't get up, and he was like a flipped bastard, baring his teeth and claws.

Zhou Rui touched his chin: "There is still something wrong with the counterweight, but when the center of gravity moves down and the ball rolls, it will become unstable again."

He turned the ball over. This "drone" the size of a basketball had not yet been networked to produce "mechanical intelligence". It was purely controlled by Zhou Rui with a remote control.

"If the original purpose of Qiuqiu is to exist as a rescue and search robot, it is destined to climb over complex terrain, even messy ruins. The spherical shape only has advantages under certain circumstances."

Should we abandon the spherical idea?

He actually has an alternative plan, which is the snake shape. Although it is ugly, it is more practical. You can rub one out and try it later.

It would be great if there were liquid metal robots

Zhou Rui shook his head mockingly. He was good at engineering, but not to the level of science fiction.

And this has nothing to do with engineering. At least the prerequisite is that materials science can break through for hundreds of years.

He has already listed [Basic Photochemistry] on the newly vacated taskbar, preparing to move up his major and write an "undergraduate thesis" that will shock the academic world, but it is far away from liquid metal.

Well, you still have to have dreams. What if you pick up a revelation from heaven?

Just as I was thinking about it, the signal light on the wall of the studio flashed, which meant that someone applied to come in.

Zhou Rui opened the door. With a popping sound, the metal door slid open. Looking out, he saw Bai Xiaoying outside the office.

In the entire Fului, only Gan Yuan can directly enter Zhou Rui's office. This is a unique trust, while others must ring the "doorbell".

Zhou Rui asked curiously: "How to say?"

Bai Xiaoying raised the special equipment in her hand.

"There is a confidential communication request from Rong Fei."

Zhou Rui was stunned.

I wondered if there was something wrong with the "Vyron" again.

Don't you want to be fucked by a pig again? I just fixed it!

In the smart space, it was much more convenient to make confidential phone calls, and Zhou Rui answered the phone directly.

On the other side of the phone was Lin Guangrong, who had just left Shanghai.

Lin Guangrong: "Mr. Zhou, have you been busy lately?"

"A bit busy? Is there any bad news?"

Lin Guangrong's voice was a little happy and cheerful: "How can it be bad news? I just have a small event to invite you to witness it. The organization has decided that before the end of the year, the Veyron will make its first flight."

Zhou Rui's eyes lit up: "Oh? The kind that is announced to the public? So decisive?"

"It's earlier than expected, mainly due to some international situation considerations. First, our own production line has been established, and the F22 production line has officially decided to close."

"Come on, come on, the other party will have a heavyweight visiting soon, and the organization is prepared to give you a surprise."

China has its own unique philosophy of life. According to the cultural background of thousands of years, the top-level structure emphasizes "conquering people with virtue". At least in the concept and vision, it always aspires in this direction.

However, the current international environment is difficult to describe. What we are facing is a group of people who are "awesome but not moral".

The more reasonable you are, the more excited they become and want to bite you.

So "Vyron" will eventually come under the sun, and so did Dongfeng back then.

"This 'first flight' will be filmed throughout, and people from all walks of life are invited to witness it. The location is Rongfei."

Zhou Rui suddenly thought of a question: "Can you turn on the stealth mode?"

That is the biggest secret of "Vyron".

Once the stealth mode is turned on, a blind person can see how advanced it is, even too advanced.

Lin Guangrong smiled and said: "We discussed it above, let's go!"

This answer was a bit beyond Zhou Rui's expectations.

"It's really open. Don't worry about scaring others. The F22 production line is being assembled again?"

Lin Guangrong's voice became a little unpredictable

"If that's the case, that's even better"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Rui was thoughtful.

I still have to go, it’s a short trip and can be done in a day or two. After all, I am one of the biological fathers of the "Vyron". I can also get together with the factory workers by the way.

However, what Lin Guangrong said aroused Zhou Rui's curiosity. He immediately turned on his computer and checked, and it turned out to be true.

Four days ago, the opposite Congress passed a resolution to scrap the F22 production line.

And what Lin Guangrong said was that the well-intentioned "spokesperson" who was about to visit was not, it was the senior executive from the opposite side, the head of the National FB over there.

Interestingly, this person also accepted an interview at the press conference announcing the closure of the F22 production line.

The reporter asked him how to deal with competitors, such as China, if the production line is closed.

The square-looking head of the National FB said disdainfully: "China is still at least 20 years away from fifth-generation aircraft. By then we are already on another level. No country in the world except us has the ability to manufacture A fifth-generation fighter, even one."

Good guy, it looks like this guy is going to get his face swollen soon.

In fact, the issue of shutting down the F22 production line has been discussed since last year, which has led to a series of waves.

On the surface, I am the best in the world, but in fact, they are doing their best to collect intelligence on "competitors" around the world.

Rongfei experts were followed, Sixiang Laboratory was suspected, the "cheap disc" farce, and even the invitation letter from MIT were all different branches extending from this height.

In the vast land, there must be overt and covert struggles that Zhou Rui doesn't know about, and even dangerous confrontations that Zhou Rui can't imagine.

Maybe it took too long, or maybe the long-term failure of spying made them mistakenly believe that "Vyron" did not exist at all, and finally made the decision to close the production line.

As for my own side, my mentality may have changed a lot.

At first, I hid it, hoping to wait until the opposite production line was closed.

Now I see how tall my eldest baby is! On the contrary, I want to force and lure the opponent, and continue to work hard on the wrong route.

As long as the F22 production line has not completely turned into scrap metal, after the "Vyron" is unveiled, the option of "reorganization" will always appear in the opponent's mind.

And it seems to be the most convenient and hassle-free

The information obtained by Zhou Rui was not comprehensive, and the same was true for the information obtained by Lin Guangrong. Maybe there were other considerations above.

Both fake and real dramas are dramas.

The recurring cold gave me a shot back. I thought it was better yesterday, but my thoughts were not flowing smoothly. I was afraid that I would make more mistakes if I wrote more. Today, I only have two updates.
