The laboratory of Linkage Intelligence wasn't far from Shanghai. It was located in Hangzhou, which was known as "the land of fish and rice," "the land of silk," and "heaven on earth."
Of course, the most praised thing about Hangzhou was the romance that was circulating here.
The protagonists were a human and a snake.
Ren Baqian had never been able to figure out how their child came to be.
Ren Baqian told the empress about his itinerary, and she was very interested in these so-called robots.
After all, she found it very novel that these robots were completely made of machinery, could speak, communicate, and could do many things that only humans could do.
The next morning, the two of them arrived at the science and technology park in Hangzhou. They found the address given by the other party, made a call, and soon, someone rushed over.
The person was a man in his forties, and he was amazed when he saw the empress. He then restrained his expression and said to the two of them, "Are you Mr. Ren from the phone? Hello, I'm the sales manager of Linkage Intelligence. My name is Jiao Han! "
Ren Baqian smiled playfully. Most people introduced themselves with the surname Li or Zhang, but the other party couldn't say that his surname was Jiao.
"Excuse me!" Jiao Han knew what Ren Baqian was thinking by looking at his expression. He smiled generously and didn't seem to mind.
"Please follow me." Jiao Han smiled and led the way.
The three of them went all the way to the 15th floor before arriving at a laboratory that wasn't very big.
A computer took up about half of the space.
The remaining half of the space was filled with all kinds of robots. Half of them were humanoid or half-humanoid. Some of them even had a layer of silicone skin. They looked very similar to real people. From a distance, it was really not easy to tell that they were real just by looking at their upper bodies.
After all, this was the other party's specialty.
Ren Baqian looked at these robots that were more beautiful and exquisite than humans and thought that it was no wonder their company's products were selling well overseas.
He had to admit that these things were really the welfare of an otaku!
With such simulated robots, if they had a certain level of intelligence, the future population would probably be worrying.
However, this was a problem for the higher-ups and had nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, the empress didn't think as much about these things as Ren Baqian, or rather, she didn't think about these things at all. She looked at the robots in front of her with interest and pinched her face.
"You're hurting me!" The robot that was kneading the face of the empress suddenly opened its eyes and said. The electronic voice sounded a little weird and spoke very slowly. However, the content gave the empress and Ren Baqian a shock.
"This is a joke!" The robot grinned. It looked stiff, but it was a smile.
"Do you know what you're talking about?" Ren Baqian took a few steps forward to take a closer look. The silicone skin of this robot extended from the top of its head to the bottom of its neck, and it had a temperature that was close to that of a human. Its appearance was exquisite, and it was very much in line with the Eastern aesthetic standards.
"Appropriate jokes can shorten the distance between people, including robots!" the robot said.
"Do you have a name?"
"You Ya, this is my name. If you can remember it, I will be very happy."
"Can you think?"
"Thinking is a very difficult question for me to answer, but it is also a trait that I hope to possess. But judging from the current situation, I still have a long way to go. "
"How did you do it?" Ren Baqian turned to look at Jiao Han and asked.
"According to the database, she will give different answers in different situations. Just now, when this lady was pinching You Ya's face, she was woken up from standby.
In this aspect, even if we aren't the best, we aren't much worse than other countries, "Jiao Han said with a smile. He was very satisfied with their reactions.
"You Ting, You Yu, you have a guest!"
The two half-bodied robots beside You Ya opened their eyes upon hearing Jiao Han's voice. With a slow electronic voice, they said, "Hello, guest. Hello, Manager Jiao."
"Look, they can be woken up from standby by calling their names." Jiao Han laughed.
"I'm starting to have confidence in the capabilities of your company," Ren Baqian exclaimed. It had to be said that these robots, which weren't well-known in the past, were too surprising for Ren Baqian, whose knowledge of technology was still three years old.
Next, Jiao Han demonstrated some of the abilities of the robots.
During his observation, Ren Baqian realized that the performance of the robots in terms of intelligence wasn't as outstanding as he had imagined, but they had already met most of his requirements.
The only problem was that these robots were connected to the database through the network.
Ren Baqian didn't know how far the robots could go after disconnecting from the network.
"I don't see anyone from the lab?" Ren Baqian asked.
"This is the exhibition area. Today is the weekend, so most people are on vacation," Jiao Han replied. "Please follow me to my office."
Next, Jiao Han brought them to his office. Apart from him, there was also a bespectacled lady who was said to be from the lab.
Jiao Han poured them a cup of tea and asked, "What requirements do you have for the robots?"
"I want the robots to be able to complete university level teaching tasks. Unlike the monotonous teaching methods of your home robots, they can be as active and interactive as possible. Just like a real teacher. "
Jiao Han nodded. Using a robot as a teacher was something many people wanted. It was actually quite difficult to reach the stage of interactive teaching, but it was not impossible. As long as there was a huge database, it could be done in another way.
"Without the network, the data is stored in the robots."
Jiao Han looked at the bespectacled lady. The lady pondered for a while and said, "That depends on what kind of data you want to store. The amount of data can't be too large, or it will reduce other aspects of performance. "
The lady's voice was a little hoarse.
"Mathematics, logic, chemistry, biology," Ren Baqian replied.
"If it's a university course, it can be done." The lady nodded.
Hearing this, Jiao Han also laughed.
"It needs to be able to project mathematical formulas, derivations, physics, and the steps of chemical experiments in a simple and clear way.
In addition, I want it to have a mechanical style, such as a Transformer or a Gundam! "
"Can they move on their own? It's best if they can walk on their own and charge themselves. "
"In addition, the battery must be high. I don't want a toy that will run out of battery in less than 10 minutes."
Ren Baqian listed out some of the requirements he had in mind.
Finally, the other party gave him a price of 16 million yuan for a teaching robot that could last for half a day, charge itself, project images, and interact.
Ren Baqian immediately ordered two units.
As for the delivery time, it was three months.
After both parties signed the contract, Jiao Han asked curiously, "I'm a little curious about what you do, Mr. Ren. After all, using such an expensive robot for this is a little … Forgive me, a little wasteful."
At present, such custom-made robots could only be considered toys for the rich, and he could understand any strange requirements.
However, the strangest thing was that the person in front of him only asked for teaching capabilities.
16 million yuan could hire two teachers for 1,600 months, which was 133 years.
In other words, 266 teachers for a year and 26 teachers for 10 years.
"I'm a village teacher! The robots are prepared for the children in the mountain villages! "Ren Baqian's reply stunned Jiao Han, and he laughed.
Village teacher?
This was just a joke from a tycoon, and anyone who took it seriously would be a fool.
However, when he thought about the two robots that only asked for teaching capabilities, Jiao Han felt that this wasn't impossible.
He glanced at the empress. The story of a rich second generation who went to a village to teach in order to impress his sweetheart immediately formed in his mind.
After leaving the building, the empress whispered into Ren Baqian's ear and asked, "Did you say that Dayao is a village?"
Ren Baqian tilted his head, and the empress's soft red lips gently brushed against his face.
Ren Baqian felt that this was the truth … However, the empress's expression seemed a little dangerous … and her eyes were full of ridicule?
