Gu Xi's group drew number 67 and would only go on stage in the afternoon.
Thus, the three of them waited in the waiting area.
In the waiting area, the three of them sat together.
Gu Xi couldn't help but steal a few glances at Sheng Xiuyan, who had a cold expression on his face. He really didn't look like [AAA] in the group.
"No matter how I look at him, he doesn't look like him …" Gu Xi muttered.
Perhaps he didn't hear Gu Xi's mutterings or he didn't want to talk to him, but Sheng Xiuyan was still looking down at his phone. He was motionless, silent, and cold.
That is, if you ignored the fact that his ears were visibly red.
"Do you like to make 'bulin-bulin' emoji packs?" Gu Xi asked.
Gu Xi still remembered [AAA]'s amazing feat of using 99 emoji packs to flood the screen.
"…" Sheng Xiuyan didn't say anything.
Gu Xi blinked and continued to ask, "Do you have a penis for emoji packs?" Gu Xi was still trying to prove that Sheng Xiuyan wasn't [AAA].
"…" Sheng Xiuyan still didn't say anything.
Gu Yanlin, who was beside him, was about to suffer internal injuries from holding back his laughter. Finally, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What?" Gu Yanlin coughed dryly and waved his hand. He said, "It's nothing. Aren't you two classmates? Let's chat more. "
Gu Yanlin secretly laughed and looked at the two of them, especially Sheng Xiuyan, as if he was watching a good show.
— — In the past, the Shengs and the Gus lived close to each other, and because of the elders of the two families, they often interacted with each other.
Gu Yanlin was older than Sheng Xiuyan and his two sons by a few years. Back then, when the little brat next door chased after him and asked him questions, Gu Yanlin found this brat's funny nature.
However, after he grew older, this brat began to pretend to be deep in front of others, and it became less and less fun.
Now, his cold and aloof persona had collapsed. Unfortunately, Xixi and he were classmates. Gu Yanlin wanted to see how this brat was going to make up for it, haha.
Gu Yanlin looked at Sheng Xiuyan, his eyes full of schadenfreude.
"…"
Sheng Xiuyan had intended to play dead until the end, but he could no longer keep up the act after being stared at by the siblings with great interest and curiosity. Finally, he coughed softly, put on a serious look, and said, "Let's discuss the specific steps of the performance on stage in the afternoon."
"It's okay. I'm actually not in a hurry," Gu Yanlin said leisurely.
That being said, Gu Yanlin also became serious when it came to the competition in the afternoon.
"The 15 minutes of commentary in the afternoon is the most important thing for us. I did a rough calculation yesterday. Although it's not a short time, we don't have much time to waste." After a pause, Gu Yanlin looked at Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan and said, "So, let's get into position. We have to start right away. Follow yesterday's plan and don't make any mistakes, okay?"
Gu Xi nodded, and Sheng Xiuyan also responded with a cool expression.
"The other thing is the performance …" After talking about the preparation for the performance, Gu Yanlin divided the work for the performance. "We'll be the right operator. I'll be in the back, and you two will be here. I'll control the backstage of the operator, and you two will be mainly responsible for the front-stage operator's demonstration and commentary …"
"That won't be a problem, right?" After Gu Yanlin finished speaking, he looked at Sheng Xiuyan with great emphasis.
Gu Yanlin believed in his baby sister unconditionally.
Sheng Xiuyan returned Gu Yanlin's gaze and said calmly, "It's simple."
"Okay, let's pick out the details."
Speaking of which, even Gu Yanlin himself felt that it was' awesome. 'The three of them were actually going to go on stage for the first round of the competition, but they only met to discuss the details of the work for the first time.
No, it was good that the three of them were familiar with each other, so there was no need to break in. Moreover, they were going to go on stage at the back, so there was plenty of time to discuss and prepare.
—
In the afternoon, it was finally Gu Xi's turn to go on stage.
In the waiting area, Gu Yanlin raised his hand and patted Gu Xi's shoulder. He said, "Xixi, don't be nervous. Your brother is here."
At noon, Gu Yanlin specially asked Gu Xi if she had been tricked by Sheng Xiuyan into signing up for the Heavenly Creation Competition.
In the end, Gu Yanlin thought that Gu Xi might have said that she had been tricked, that she wanted to broaden her horizons, and that it was for the sake of her future scientific research dreams … But he never expected that Gu Xi's reason would actually be that she was greedy for the 300,000 yuan prize money.
Although he was surprised by Gu Xi's reason, no, in order to fulfill his sister's wish, Gu Yanlin had already decided to go all out and give the prize money to Gu Xi as well.
The backstage broadcast sounded, "Number 67, please enter the competition venue and get ready." Gu Xi and the other two went through the security gate and entered the exhibition area through the elevator.
The layout of the exhibition area and the operation platform were the same as what Gu Xi had seen when she came to scout the venue yesterday.
No, in order to prevent the contestants from being disturbed by the audience in the venue, a special layer of controllable glass had been installed around the exhibition area.
At this time, the exhibition area in Area B was in a closed state. Therefore, Gu Xi and the others could not see what was going on outside, and the audience in the venue could not see what was going on inside.
Yesterday, Gu Yanlin had specially drawn a flow chart of the operation platform according to the arrangement of the exhibition area and the layout of the operation platform.
The three of them had memorized the process in advance. Therefore, after entering the exhibition area, the three of them did not delay and began to prepare according to their respective division of labor.
They needed to connect their own developed equipment and programs to the operation platform in order to ensure that the product's effects would be displayed smoothly at the front end of the demonstration.
The interface of the operation platform was complicated. For Gu Xi, who was not a professional, she actually did not understand it very well. Fortunately, Gu Yanlin had made detailed annotations. Therefore, Gu Xi only needed to install the corresponding numbered components and plug-ins according to the positions circled in the photo.
"A-23 …"
"Here."
Just as Gu Xi was about to look for the plug-ins, Sheng Xiuyan, who was next to him, had already handed over the plug-ins that he needed.
Gu Xi took the plug-ins from the other party's hand and also handed over the plug-ins that Sheng Xiuyan should be responsible for to the other party.
The two of them cooperated well and increased the installation speed by a lot.
Originally, Gu Yanlin had estimated that it would take about 13 minutes to complete the installation and preparation of the equipment. In the end, the three of them only took less than seven minutes to install all the equipment.
— — This was supposed to be something to be happy about. Why did he feel a little unhappy?
Gu Yanlin glanced at Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan and muttered to himself.
In the next second, Gu Yanlin squeezed forward and pulled Sheng Xiuyan to the side with his own strength.
At the same time, he gently patted Gu Xi's head.
"Leave the rest to me."
Gu Yanlin checked the plug-ins that had been installed. Because there was plenty of time, he also ran two tests while he was at it.
Gu Xi, who was next to him, looked at Gu Yanlin's focused expression and his eyes lit up slightly. He suddenly felt that his big brother was handsome.
Gu Xi secretly took a photo of Gu Yanlin, and in the end, it was posted by Gu Yanlin.
"How is it? Did you find your big brother super handsome?" Gu Yanlin smiled and asked.
Looking at this person's smug look, Gu Xi shook his head seriously and said, "No."
Although he said this, Gu Xi still secretly saved this photo.
— —
The 15 minutes of preparation time was almost up.
At the same time, Gu Xi's display area sounded with a "start" prompt.
The warning lights on the surrounding glass windows switched from red "off" to green "on". At the same time, the signal source of the projection display area in the center of the stage also switched to Gu Xi's side.
Because of the lighting, Gu Xi's side still couldn't see the audience outside. However, the audience could clearly see the situation in the control room on the right side of the stage.
"Are there only three people in this group? Or are there only three? "
"Why do I feel like they're still children?"
"Yeah, they don't look very old. Are they participating in the competition at such a young age?"
Looking at the three people in the control room on the stage, especially Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan, there was a burst of surprised discussion in the audience.
Although there were still some undergraduates participating in the competition after the change of the competition rules, most of them were learning from others. Few of them directly participated in the competition as the main force.
"They're still students. I don't know what kind of design they're participating in, but they actually passed the first few rounds of screening."
"When I placed my bet before, I thought that this group would probably be eliminated. I didn't expect that they would actually enter this round."
Some people simply raised their doubts, while some people's words carried a hint of doubt.
…
Gu Xi's side was separated by a layer of special soundproof glass, so they didn't know about this.
"Let's begin," Gu Yanlin said and began to operate on the backstage stage.
Soon, the hologram in the middle of the stage lit up, and a three-dimensional projection appeared in the middle. It was in the shape of a round ball and looked like a white glutinous rice ball with a cute little antenna on it.
This was the image of "Xi Bao" that Gu Xi had previously designed.
After another round of testing, Gu Yanlin made an "OK" gesture to Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan.
Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan nodded and began to operate the display in front of the screen according to the plan.
First, a caption popped up at the bottom of the projection. This was the concept of Yu Gu Xi's' Intelligent Companion System ', as well as the introduction of its functions. It was accompanied by the voice of' Xi Bao ', who had a somewhat childish robotic voice.
Then, Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan began to interact with "Xi Bao" through the input input from the front.
Because this was still not a finished product, all of the "interactions" were based on digital information.
On the right side of "Xi Bao" in the middle of the stage, Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan entered commands, such as asking the sky, expressing that they were not feeling well, wanting to listen to music, and controlling it.
After these commands were entered, "Xi Bao" would quickly give the corresponding feedback.
Their luck went smoothly.
However, there were still people in the audience who raised questions.
"This' intelligent companion system 'is actually a smart home robot, right?"
"It should be." Someone nodded, but then frowned. "At present, the design of the product is not bad, and its luck is stable. It doesn't feel like it's similar to a certain sprite or small AI on the market."
"That's true. If that's the case, isn't it a little lacking in innovation?" This person's words were not without reason. If it was to develop something that was already on the market, it would obviously lose the meaning of participating in the competition.
"Moreover, this group is classified as future technology? That's not very appropriate, right? "
…
Looking at Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan's display, the audience below the stage was full of doubts.
However, just as the audience was discussing incessantly, the sound and appearance of "Xi Bao" in the middle of the stage began to change. Some observers even said that "Xi Bao"'s feedback and reply instructions, the content, method, and even the "language" had undergone slight changes.
These changes began to become obvious as the instructions continued to be transmitted.
For example, the sound of "Xi Bao" started to become louder and slower. When it controlled the lights, it would turn off the lights directly at the beginning to turn them off slowly after five seconds. The ratio of classic old songs and Huangmei Opera started to increase, and the words on the screen became bigger and clearer in boldface.
There was also the content of the replies. At first glance, it still looked similar to the initial official answers, but the same questions would be found after careful comparison. In the replies of "Xi Bao", some of the useless advertisements and complicated scientific explanations were removed, and more of the content focused on high blood pressure was added. Some words and phrases also seemed to have been replaced with other words.
"It feels different …" Someone couldn't help but murmur.
However, they couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different. They had to say, "It just feels more human?"
"It's true!"
"Is it because of the input of the commands?"
"Not much. It doesn't seem to make any difference when the commands are inputted."
"Could it be that it's set to a certain user preference?"
"I know! The keys of this smart system should be adapted to the user's identity and habits. "
"That's possible." One of them nodded and said, "What I want to know is whether this preference is fixed or random with certain keys."
If it was the latter, then this project had made it to this round.
…
Everyone's discussion gradually changed from doubt to curiosity.
Under everyone's attention, Sheng Xiuyan continued to control the front-end of the demonstration while Gu Xi began to introduce.
"As you can see, our 'smart companion system' is developed based on the basic functions of an ordinary household smart robot. 70% of its functions are used for real basic intelligent control and intelligent interaction, and the other 30% is used for learning and self-adjustment …" Gu Xi's voice sounded.
Her voice was soft and clear, and if one listened carefully, they could hear a hint of nervousness in it.
No, Gu Xi's introduction was clear.
"From the 'Xi Bao' watch, I wonder if anyone can guess what kind of person the owner is?" Gu Xi asked.
"An elderly person?" Someone guessed.
Others also began to add in:
"Probably with poor eyesight."
"High blood pressure all year round?"
"Does he like to listen to pornography and Huangmei opera?"
"He doesn't seem to be very educated."
"Is he from the south?"
…
Gu Xi couldn't hear the audience's replies from the stage, so after a pause, she continued: "The owner of this' Xi Bao 'is a 78-year-old old man."
"This' user 'is not a virtual fixed character that we developed in advance, and we didn't enter certain options and information into the' Xi Bao 'program in advance. You can see this from the real-time status data bar on the left side of the stage."
There were strings of data on it. Anyway, Gu Xi couldn't understand it, so Gu Yanlin explained it to her.
Then, Gu Xi continued: "We just randomly selected a 'user' and selected what they usually talk about. We directly converted it into instructions and input it to 'Xi Bao'. The system captures the user's voice, living habits, and frequently reads content to learn and analyze. Finally, it understands what kind of person the 'owner' is and adjusts itself according to the 'owner's' habits and preferences. We don't participate in this process, and it's all done by the system itself."
This was like the process of people understanding each other. Therefore, it could also be understood as a kind of artificial intelligence 'emotion'.
There were many professionals in the audience. After hearing Gu Xi's explanation and looking at the data on the pop-up window, they gradually understood the real highlight of this project design and couldn't help but marvel.
"If that's the case, it's really amazing!"
"Simulate 'emotion'? Haha, young people are really creative. "
"Indeed, and this piece of technology is considered a direction of future technology."
"Although it's just learning and adjusting the process, it's not easy to really develop it."
…
Amidst the exclamations and discussions, Gu Xi and the other two finished their presentation.
—
On the other side, in the competition control room, the entire competition was broadcasted on the big screen.
After watching Gu Xi's team's presentation, the staff in the control room couldn't help but discuss a few words.
"This group's presentation is amazing. In my opinion, they have the potential to be champions. Your daughter is too amazing." The person in charge of the competition stood beside Gu Shao and couldn't help but praise him.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shao only glanced at the person indifferently. He didn't look excited or happy as the person in charge had said. On the contrary, he frowned.
Just as the person in charge was secretly suspicious, he heard Gu Shao say in a deep voice, "I don't want my daughter to be labeled as a genius."
It was too tiring.
Moreover, in this project, Gu Xi's real technical lead was Gu Yanlin. If it weren't for Gu Yanlin, Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan wouldn't have been able to complete such a huge research and development project.
As for the project itself, it was indeed not bad. It would be an exaggeration to say that they weren't 'champions'.
Gu Shao specifically looked at the projects that had entered the first round. To be honest, with the current research and development progress and results of Gu Xi's team, they should be ranked in the upper-middle class. It wouldn't be a problem for them to enter the next round. As for the later stages, it would depend on how far they could go.
Upon hearing Gu Shao's words, the person in charge's face stiffened. He also realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. He opened his mouth, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally closed his mouth to reduce his sense of self-importance.
On the other hand, Xu Fei raised his eyebrows and glanced at the person in charge. He secretly laughed and ridiculed in his heart, You can't even flatter him.
— —
There were many rounds of the 'Heavenly Creation Competition', and the scores for each round would not be released immediately. Therefore, after the competition ended, Gu Xi and the other two directly left the venue.
When Gu Xi returned home, Gu Shao hadn't returned yet.
Later, Gu Shao returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a certain girl standing at the door, looking at him with a resentful expression.
Seeing Gu Xi's expression, Gu Shao felt a little amused.
Gu Shao walked over and gently tapped Gu Xi's nose as he said, "You can hang an oil bottle on your mouth."
Gu Xi took a step back, covered her nose, and didn't say anything. Her eyes were still looking at Gu Shao quietly.
"Are you unhappy?" Gu Shao asked.
"No …" She was just a little disappointed.
— — Although she knew that Gu Shao might have other things to do, she also knew that she shouldn't ask Gu Shao for anything. No, from the beginning of the competition to the end, Gu Xi had been intentionally or unintentionally looking for Gu Shao. She still felt a little regretful when she didn't see Gu Shao.
Alright, so he was a little unhappy about it.
Even so, when she saw Gu Shao walk in, Gu Xi still took the initiative to take the jacket from him.
Seeing Gu Xi's aggrieved expression, Gu Shao knew that he couldn't tease her anymore. He laughed softly and raised his hand to rub Gu Xi's head, saying, "I went to watch your competition."
"Huh?" Gu Xi was stunned and looked at Gu Shao in surprise.
"I was in the control room," Gu Shao explained.
After a pause, he asked again, "Gu Yanlin sent you back?"
"Yes, yes." Gu Xi nodded.
Gu Xi didn't know that Gu Shao had already known that Gu Yanlin would be participating in the competition. After all, he only found out today that he and his brother were actually on the same team.
At this moment, when she heard Gu Shao mention Gu Yanlin, Gu Xi thought that Gu Shao had seen Gu Yanlin during the competition, so she believed Gu Shao's words.
"You came to watch my competition? Which control room were you in? Why didn't I see you?" Gu Xi asked in surprise and bewilderment.
"It was the control room of the competition team." The main control room and the competition venue were not in the hall.
"Huh?"
Looking at the surprised expression on Gu Xi's face, Gu Shao was thinking about how to explain that the organizers of the Heavenly Creation Competition and NTN were similar to Party B and Party A respectively.
At this moment, Gu Shao's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Wang Wu.
"Sir, I have something to report to you."
"Go ahead."
"It's about Mr. Qiao Luo. Today, Mr. Qiao's people who were in charge of the transportation control project signed an agreement with the transportation company. They encountered some trouble when they left."
"What kind of trouble?" Gu Shao asked.
"They were attacked by a few unidentified people who said that Mr. Qiao's people were swindlers. Later, they were subdued by our people. We caught a few of them and checked their files. Most of them were unemployed hooligans. Some of them had just been released from prison and hadn't found a job yet. Their superiors paid them to cause trouble."
"What else did you find?" Gu Shao continued to ask.
"These people seem to be related to the Lin family. We won't continue investigating. We'll find out that these people seem to be arranged by Song Kexin."
Upon hearing the words "Song Kexin", Gu Shao subconsciously glanced at Gu Xi. After making sure that Gu Xi did not hear him, he said, "Continue."
"From the surveillance footage, these people's target should be Lisa." After a pause, Wang Wu said his guess. "Therefore, this situation should not be the work of Lin Yize or Gu Yaobai. It seems to be because of the grudge between Lin Yize, Song Kexin, and Lisa."
"I understand," Gu Shao responded. After thinking for a while, he said, "Increase the number of people to keep an eye on the project and ensure that the project is completed smoothly."
"Okay." Wang Wu understood Gu Shao's words. What he meant was to ensure that the transportation control project would not go wrong. As for these people's "relationship problems", it had nothing to do with them.
— —
"What's wrong?" After Gu Shao hung up, Gu Xi asked.
"It's nothing," Gu Shao said, then said, "Go do your homework."
Gu Xi: "…"
— —
On the other side, at the Lin residence.
At this moment, Lin Yize and Song Kexin were standing opposite each other. Their expressions did not look good. It was obvious that they were quarreling.
"Why are you doing this? Are you crazy? Do you know how much trouble this will cause me? "Lin Yize roared at Song Kexin. His gaze was cold and filled with anger.
On the other hand, Song Kexin's face was pale and filled with resentment.
Attacking Meng Zixin was indeed an arrangement. They had used Lin Yize's dark side.
No, the goal was not to attack Meng Zixin at all. They wanted to get rid of her.
Meng Zixin was no longer a citizen of China. She was only here temporarily for work. If anything happened, she might be forced to leave the country.
"I said, I just want to leave!" Song Kexin retorted. He only wanted to get rid of the woman. Of course, if anything happened to her, it would not matter.
After saying this, Song Kexin looked at Lin Yize with resentment and said, "Also, what did you say before? You said that you had nothing with her. But the truth is, you lied to me. If it weren't for the fact that you were still involved with a woman, how could I have been forced to leave?! "
When he thought about how Lin Yize had lied to him, Song Kexin trembled with anger. Lin Yize said that he would not have anything to do with a woman. But in reality, for the past few days, Lin Yize had deliberately approached a woman. He had given her gifts and even invited her to dinner!
"How many times do I have to say this? I'm doing this for the Lin family's business in the southeast," Lin Yize said with a sullen face.
"I'm doing this for our family's business. Can't you see how much I've sacrificed for this family and for you?"
When he heard this, Song Kexin laughed. "I've sacrificed for you, and that doesn't count? I've sacrificed so much for you, and in the end, you betray me? "
Faced with Song Kexin's pestering, Lin Yize felt extremely irritated. He waved his hand and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Song Kexin panicked and couldn't help but shout, "Lin Yize, don't forget who took the blame for your death. This is what you owe …"
Before Song Kexin could finish speaking, Lin Yize grabbed him by the neck.
"Don't let me hear about this again. Otherwise, not only Song Shishan, but also you. You should know what I'm capable of …"
Lin Yize didn't finish his sentence, but his eyes were frighteningly cold.
After saying this, Lin Yize threw Song Kexin aside and slammed the door.
Song Kexin was left sitting on the floor, trembling all over.
— —
After leaving the Lin family, Lin Yize went to Lin Corporation.
When he arrived at the company, Lin Yize dialed Gu Yaobai's number.
"Do you have a solution for this batch of goods?" Lin Yize asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Gu Yaobai laughed and said with dissatisfaction, "You should be the one to solve this problem. Why are you asking me how to solve it?!"
This time, the Lin family had been detained by Country O, and most of the goods were Gu Yaobai's. He hadn't gone to Lin Yize, but he had found him first.
"If I had a solution, I wouldn't have bothered Chairman Gu," Lin Yize said with a sigh.
Originally, he wanted to start with Meng Zixin, but who knew that Meng Zixin wouldn't give in even after using all kinds of methods? Unfortunately, Gu Shao's people were watching too closely.
"What can I do?" Gu Yaobai said coldly.
Because of the previous rumors, many of his projects had fallen through, and he was so busy that he was in a terrible fix. Originally, he was counting on his business in the southeast, but he didn't expect that there would be a problem.
"The Gu family … I remember Chairman Gu saying that you have something on them," Lin Yize reminded him. If he could solve the Gu family's problem or create some trouble for the Gu family and keep Gu Shao busy, the rest of the matter would be easy to deal with.
Hearing this, Gu Yaobai's eyes darkened.
There were indeed some things in Old Master Gu's hands, but after passing them to his father, there was no movement.
In the end, Gu Yaobai dismissed Lin Yize by saying that the time wasn't right, but in reality, Gu Yaobai was already planning to deal with the Gu family.
— —
Gu Xi had no idea what was going on in the Lin family.
After finishing her homework under Gu Shao's supervision, Gu Xi turned on her phone again.
Gu Xi opened the photo album on her phone and picked out a photo — it was the photo of Gu Yanlin secretly taken today.
After looking at it twice and confirming that this person was really handsome, Gu Xi posted the photo on her WeChat Moments with a boastful caption: [Handsome, right? My family.]
[Not showing it to anyone.] She selected [Gu Yanlin] and clicked on [Post]. Done!
She blocked Gu Yanlin mainly because she was afraid that this person would become arrogant.
After Gu Xi posted this "Not showing it to Gu Yanlin" on her WeChat Moments, less than two seconds later, she saw that Gu Yanlin had also posted on his WeChat Moments: [Taking my little princess to the competition.]
Someone replied below: [Cute, right? My family.]
Then, Gu Yanlin attached a photo of him in the waiting area with Gu Xi.
There were originally three people in the photo, but the extra Sheng Xiuyan had been photoshopped out by Gu Yanlin.
— — The photoshop method was simple and crude. Slap, slap, slap a few green and ugly fish head mosaics, and it was done.
It was this mosaic …
It seemed a little familiar?
