The elven maid.
It wasn't a smart home appliance product as the media and the public had guessed, nor was it an elliptical shape that relied on four wheels to run.
It wasn't a technological toy that pretended to be a smart robot like Xiao Zhao and Xiao Mei in the bank.
It was a robot.
It had a transparent and streamlined head. Although it didn't have human facial features, it had a technological "face" made up of an optical observation module, a lattice sensor, a projection, a short-range radar, and so on.
A light V-shaped black line was embedded in the transparent shell like a one-piece sunglasses.
It was the elven maid's optical observation module. Even in the dark of night, it could clearly observe the surrounding environment.
Under the transparent shell was an electronic module full of sci-fi beauty.
The body was a three-colored shell made of translucent material, light aluminum alloy material, and flexible JS5-TPU material.
The arms and legs were also made of three materials.
However, under the translucent shell material, bionic muscles made of thermal nerve units could be clearly seen. Below the light calves, there was a pair of boots made of JS5-TPU material.
There wasn't much introduction to the elven maid's product on the promotional page.
They didn't learn from other technology companies. As long as it was different from the previous generation of products.
Then, he wished he could list out the different points of a screw or a data cable as innovative selling points.
Some technology companies wrote even more exaggerated slogans, such as changing the industry pattern and redefining products.
If there was really no innovation, they would play the environmental card. Plastic films, packaging paper, and environmental protection all appeared.
These things couldn't be found on the promotional page of the monster's official website.
The elven maid had nothing to do with environmental protection. The polypropylene resin box with a huge outer packaging wouldn't degrade on its own even if it was left there for ten years, and there was no recycling value.
Its greatest value was that it gave users a large password storage box for free.
There was only one slogan for the elven maid.
[— We have surpassed ourselves and made people's lives more interesting.]
As for the introduction of its performance, the promotional page only used less than 500 words to summarize it.
Moreover, it only briefly introduced the technology used by the elven maid and what services it could help users complete. Even the most interesting dishes were only summarized with "the ability to cook delicacies."
However, the more it was like this, the more curious the media and the public were.
Monster Industries' big move had been repeatedly reported by the media for almost twenty days.
Because Monster Industries had monopolized the computing power of the National Supercomputing Center, other technology companies could only turn around and look for commercial supercomputing centers or foreign supercomputing centers to rent computing power. This forced Hua Xia to temporarily raise the price of supercomputing services by 60%.
Now that the eight supercomputing centers finally had the time to rent computing power, and the products of Monster Industries were finally unveiled, how could the media and the public not be excited?
After a few minutes of silence, more and more posts about the elven maid appeared on the official forum.
[Help, I can't find the price. Who can tell me how much an elven maid costs?]
[The introduction says that it can cook, do housework, and take care of the user's daily life like a housekeeper. This is too magical. Is there anyone who knows about mechanical technology to popularize this?]
[This isn't 2021. It's 2051, right? Otherwise, how could Monster Industries create the robots from Robot Enemy?]
[Intelligent robot? Elven maids have hands and feet like humans. Will our jobs be taken away by robots in the future?]
[One look and you can tell that you can't afford it. I think you can't buy an elven maid without 500,000 yuan.]
[Price, price, price ~ Who can tell me the price?]
Among the posts posted by users, most of them were concerned about the price.
Even if the elven maid didn't have any text introduction, the information revealed by its appearance could immediately capture the attention of countless users.
Moreover, before it was exposed, Monster Industries had rented the National Supercomputing Center for a full half-month program learning and computing.
The price was not stated on the promotional page of the official website.
But soon, users found the price information of the elven maid.
As soon as the promotional page of the elven maid came out, the product page of Monster Industries' official website was updated with the order information of the elven maid.
Elven maid — the preorder price was 120,000 yuan.
There were four types of enhanced service options, and the price ranged from a little over 1,000 yuan to over 3,000 yuan.
However, the preorder button for the elven maid was grayed out, and there was a countdown next to the button.
There was still 21: 46 left.
This meant that users could participate in the pre-order of the elven maid in about 21 hours, which was at noon tomorrow.
120,000 yuan?
When sharp-eyed users posted the price of the elven maid on the forum, almost all users who had bought Monster Industries' products immediately switched to the bank app, as well as the WeChat and Alipay balance interfaces.
Monster Industries had used countless technological products to prove their product reputation.
As long as it was a product of Monster Industries, there was no such thing as being tricked or shoddy.
A product of Monster Industries was synonymous with a value for money.
Was 120,000 yuan expensive?
Almost no one felt that this price was expensive. Instead, they felt that it was far lower than the price they expected.
This was a robot with human limbs that only existed in science fiction movies.
After buying it, even if it didn't know how to do anything other than walk and talk, it wouldn't be a loss to just keep it as a toy.
What's more, Monster Industries had summarized its functions with almost all-encompassing housekeeping services in its function introduction?
Of course ~
Thinking that it wasn't expensive and whether or not they could afford it was one thing.
If there was a 10% discount on the official website one day for wholesale of Lamborghini poison that cost tens of millions, no one would feel that it was expensive.
However, with the discounted price of a few million, not many people could afford it.
120,000 yuan was the price of a family car, and the elven maid was the main housekeeping function.
So when this price came out, many single young users felt that the elven maid was science fiction, but if there was 120,000 yuan, they would rather buy the gold primordial spirit set and play in the virtual world.
Most of the users who had a strong idea of buying were those who already had a family and had some money in their hands.
…
A few hours later.
The news of Monster Industries' launch of the elven maid spread from the official website forum to the outside world.
By around eight o 'clock in the evening, the news related to the elven maid was already overwhelming. Even Japan, South Korea, Europe, and the United States were reporting it.
Who made the elven maid a robot with human limbs?
The research and conjectures about robots and intelligent robots had never stopped since humans entered the electronic information era.
Many movie themes and literary comics had even used their own imagination to guess countless possibilities of the robot theme.
Now that Monster Industries had launched a real domestic-level intelligent robot, of course, it would cause a huge sensation.
Since two o 'clock in the afternoon, the number of visitors to Monster Industries' official website had increased by leaps and bounds.
By eight o 'clock, the number of overseas visitors had reached 40% of Hua Xia's visitors.
By around eleven o 'clock, the number of overseas visitors had surpassed Hua Xia's local users for the first time.
Anyway, Monster Industries' official website had more than ten language switching functions.
Regardless of whether they could buy it or not, overseas netizens would definitely join in the fun.
