Since it was ready, Running Dog directly activated his auctioneer mode. Even his voice sounded a little excited. "Everyone, I am the host of this auction, Running Dog. We will begin the auction of the first item!"
As he spoke, he turned on the holographic projection. The animal that was projected was a big bad wolf wearing a gray vest. "This is a Siberian wolf. Its name is Gray Wolf. It's five years old this year and has been trained by Young Master to be very obedient. Everyone, please take a look!"
Then, in the holographic projection, Gray Wolf was dressed in a very gentlemanly manner, wearing a gray vest and a small earthy yellow hat on his head. He held his head high and puffed out his chest as he followed beside a person. His footsteps were very steady, and he could be said to be valiant and high-spirited, extremely eye-catching.
Especially when Running Dog played a very suitable video. It was a video of an ordinary husky pet dog standing together with him. That scene … hehehehehe …
The eyes of the Chamber of Commerce members all lit up. "Oh oh oh oh oh! This is good! "
"Then, now." Seeing that everyone's interest was piqued, Running Dog very passionately announced, "Big Bad Wolf, Gray Wolf, the auction starts now! The starting price is one dollar. Those who want it, please make a bid. "
The starting price of one dollar was just a casual announcement. The people below naturally did not think that one dollar would be enough to buy this highly intelligent wolf.
"This is good. Let's see who dares to be cocky in front of me in the future. No, if he dares to be cocky in front of me again, ask Gray Wolf to fight him." Someone hurriedly raised his paddle. "One million!"
Such an eye-catching wolf, honestly speaking, there was not a second one in the world! Hong Dali could train, but the problem was that he was no longer in Chenhui Building. He had moved his base to the sea. It was said that he was even preparing to build a school. It seemed that he was planning to stay here or travel around the world.
In other words, such a highly intelligent animal would probably not appear for a very long time in the future!
What did it mean to say that the rarer something was, the more valuable it was? This was what it meant to say that the rarer something was, the more valuable it was! There was probably only one Gray Wolf in the entire world. Wouldn't he go all out?!
"I bid 1.2 million!" "1.5 million!" "1.8 million!" "2.4 million!"
The price was rising exponentially.
Ordinary gray wolves were not worth much! But this Gray Wolf, if he were to bring him out and hype him up, he would be worth a lot of money!
"3 million! 3.5 million! 4 million!"
Running Dog: "Very good, this mister has bid four million. Is there any higher bid? Four million going once, four million going twice … Ah, well done, that gentleman has bid five million, five million going once, five million going twice! "
At this moment, someone raised his paddle again. "Six million!"
"Oh, I'm so happy! This is too wasteful, but I like it! "Running Dog's four arms waved wildly." Six million once, six million twice, six million thrice! Sold! Congratulations, sir, you have successfully won the world's one and only pet wolf with high IQ! "
In the end, this magical gray wolf was sold for a high price of six million.
"Then, ladies and gentlemen, let's move on to the next item!" Running Dog hammered down hard and decisively started the auction of the second highly intelligent animal.
…
Tianhai Military Headquarters, large conference room.
The Bureau Chief and the others stared in bewilderment at the video that Running Dog sent back.
If not, why would Running Dog be so awesome? This fellow's data network was specially modified by Hong Dali using a perfect-grade mobile phone. It used the perfect-grade data connector on a perfect-grade mobile phone — the signal was stable and strong, and it would not be affected by distance!
"This … this …" The military leaders present were all stunned. "In such a short time, it should be over a hundred million, right? Are the things that this prodigal Hong Dali makes so popular? " "That's right. It hasn't been long and he has already auctioned off sixteen animals. It looks like the competition for the later ones will be even more intense. It shouldn't be a problem to sell each of them for more than ten million!" "In my opinion, it's not just ten million. The rarer something is, the more valuable it is!"
Most of the people present were shocked at the prices of the animals that Hong Dali raised. The Bureau Chief was speechless too. "This … Any one of Hong Dali's things is worth so much? These animals that we didn't think highly of can actually earn so much money?! "
Why else would it be said that Hong Dali started with pets purely for the sake of squandering.
At that time, he almost swept away all the stray cats and dogs in Tianjing City and brought back a few thousand of them!
Even if those stray cats and dogs were properly managed and taken care of by professionals, they could at most be sold for a hundred or so yuan. Of course, it was more likely that Hong Dali, this little prodigal, gave them all away for free.
But who would have thought that, although those cats and dogs did not earn money, just from today's auction alone, looking at the current situation, it was definitely not a problem to earn a few hundred million!
After all, those that were auctioned off now were all relatively small animals. There were even more powerful ones in the future — at least, just the two tigers alone would definitely sell for tens of millions each!
Why? Because in the eyes of the people of the Heavenly State, tigers had always been the king of beasts!
That was the most suitable item for the top people! Didn't the kings of the mountains in ancient times all like to use tiger skin as seats? This was much more powerful than the tiger skin seats. This was directly alive and could even look after children!
There were only two such awesome tigers in the world. They looked beautiful and domineering, had high IQs, and looked very gentlemanly — what were they waiting for? It would be strange if they did not fight over them!
Of course, some of the smarter ones were more concerned about Hong Dali's technology. This group of people stared at the Running Dog robot and said, "Bureau Chief, can we think of a way to get the manufacturing technology for this Running Dog robot? This robot is very powerful. If we can equip it, we won't need ordinary soldiers on the battlefield anymore, right? "" Yup, indeed, this is a must! This Dali's technology is already so far ahead of us? "
Unexpectedly, speaking of Running Dog, the Bureau Chief decisively shook his head and said, "Regarding Running Dog, I asked Dali about it previously. Dali clearly said that this technology must not be leaked and that the number of Running Dogs must be strictly limited. Now, Dali only has twenty of them, and most of them are used to modify aircraft carriers. "
"This …" Someone said, "It's not good for this little rascal Dali to be so selfish, right?"
That was a highly intelligent robot. If it was used for military development, it would definitely be shocking!
"It's not the same." The Bureau Chief shook his head and said, "It's not that Dali is selfish, it's that the impact of robots is too huge. If it's the kind that is controlled by humans, it doesn't matter how many we produce. But for a highly intelligent robot like Running Dog, if we produce too many and it evolves, it will definitely not be a good thing for humans. Therefore, we can only control the number of robots below the absolute safety line. We definitely cannot use them in war. "
What the Bureau Chief said was indeed very reasonable.
For a highly intelligent robot like Running Dog, if it was mass-produced in thousands or tens of thousands, if there was any deviation in the program, or if it was controlled by someone with ulterior motives, or if they developed true artificial intelligence, the damage to human society would not be as simple as destroying it.
The war between humans and robots had always been one of the main themes of sci-fi movies.
To be safe, they had to be extremely careful with such highly intelligent robots. If they were not careful, it could easily become a disaster for all of humanity.
"That's true." The general carefully thought for a while and felt that it was indeed reasonable. "If robots replace the army, it will be a disaster if they really rebel. If they don't replace the army, there's not much meaning to it. Ten to twenty war robots are just barely enough to put on a show. "
"Therefore, we don't have to think too much about this." The Bureau Chief smiled and said, "The technology of the Mechanical Holy Garment is the most important. No matter what, it's still safest for humans to be armed."
The few of them watched and chatted. Time passed very quickly when they were watching the live broadcast. In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.
Running Dog auctioned off quite a number of animals. At this moment, the clerk at the side wiped his sweat and whispered, "Bureau Chief, currently, Running Dog auctioned off a total of 68 special animals. The total price they sold for is …"
"How much did they sell for? It should be quite a lot, right? "The Bureau Chief drank a mouthful of tea and asked curiously.
Every one of these animals was indeed very rare. Even the Bureau Chief himself was envious of their high intelligence. Therefore, he was naturally very curious about how much these animals were sold for.
"A total of …" The clerk wiped his sweat and said, "487 million."
"Pfft —" The Bureau Chief directly spat out a mouthful of tea. "How much did they sell for?! 487 million?! Nearly 500 million?! "
The clerk violently swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Yes … These animals were sold for 3 to 4 million at the lowest price, 10 million at the highest. All added up, it's exactly 487 million."
"Oh my god …"
All the military officers were stunned.
Oh my god, these animals were sold for nearly 500 million?!
"It can't be? 500 million! I'm not dreaming, am I? This … this number is too fantastical! "" Yes, in just half a day, this little rascal sold them for 500 million? " "The two tigers haven't been sold yet. I wonder how much they can sell for …" "I say, at least 20 million each!" "20 million? I think people will definitely buy them for 30 million! "" 40 million should be possible! "
It wasn't that these military officers had never seen money before. They wouldn't be so shocked if it was just tens of millions. But the problem was, it wasn't tens of millions, it was hundreds of millions! Hundreds of millions! This was the animal project that everyone was most pessimistic about. This was already the case. Then, the rest …
Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle.
Just as everyone was exclaiming, someone suddenly shouted, "Everyone, look, it's time for the two tigers to be auctioned off!"
