Chapter 203 A Surprise for Everyone

As the best engineer of Boston Dynamics, Vic's self-confidence is not blind, on the contrary, he has real strength.

Because although the members who came to participate in the expo this time have outstanding abilities, they are not too many in number, so it only took about a day to officially end the competition.

The result is naturally no surprise...

Won by Vic's robot dog.

According to the set conference procedure, an award ceremony will be held in the afternoon of the second day, and the trophy certificate and the generous bonus promised by Xingyuan Technology will be awarded to Vick.

The last day is the personal stage for Xingyuan Technology to accompany the robot.

But what was surprising was that something went wrong when the awards were presented the next afternoon.

……

"The champion of this conference is the latest robot dog developed by Boston Dynamics. It stands out among many types of robots with its sensitive physical activity, super command response speed, and wide application."

"Let us now welcome Mr. Vic, the representative of Boston Dynamics, to the stage to accept the award."

As the host's voice fell, Vic stepped onto the stage amidst a burst of warm applause, but at the moment he didn't have much joy on his face, but looked more dignified, as if there was still something in his heart Same.

Vik came here on behalf of the company this time mainly to help increase the company's reputation and do one last thing for the company.

But after this day's competition, he felt that the gold content of the championship was not so high. During the whole process, most of the opponents that the robot dog encountered were developed by a team composed of college students.

There really isn't much sense of accomplishment.

So before Vic thought about it carefully before going on stage, a bold idea came to his mind.

That is to compete with Xingyuan Technology's products.

As a contestant, compared to ordinary audiences, he knows that Xingyuan Technology also has an intelligent robot. Although he doesn't know the specific situation, there is no problem in the competition.

After all, he has full confidence in the latest generation of robots he has developed.

of course.

Vik is not saying that the products developed by Xingyuan Technology are not good. In his opinion, Xingyuan Technology was engaged in software-related fields before, and even its Xingyao brand is specialized in selling technological products such as mobile phones and computers. Said that he had never set foot in the field of intelligent robots.

In terms of experience alone, even if several Xingyuan technologies are added together, there is no way to compare with Boston Dynamics.

In this case, the robot dog has a high probability of winning.

Most importantly, if you want to say which company has the highest reputation in the world, it must be Xingyuan Technology.

If the robot dog developed by Boston outperforms the intelligent robot of Xingyuan Technology in terms of comprehensive performance, it will definitely be reported by various media. This kind of exposure is much stronger than that of a certain champion.

After making up his mind, Vik became more and more determined. After taking the microphone from the host, he spoke directly in front of all the audience: "Thank you very much for the sponsor's affirmation, but I think this champion is still a winner." It does not belong to Boston Dynamics, because there is another company whose products did not show up in this expo.”

"That is the intelligent robot developed by Xingyuan Technology."

"I hope that your company can give us this opportunity to let the Boston robot dog compete with your intelligent robot."

As soon as this word comes out.

There was an uproar all around, causing a lot of discussion.

Although the audience knew that Xingyuan Technology would release new products during this period and might display them in the expo, they never expected that Vic would directly want to compete, and they couldn't help muttering to themselves.

"Xingyuan Technology did not hesitate to spend so much energy to hold such a large-scale intelligent robot expo, it is obviously very confident in its own products, how dare this Boston Dynamics person say openly to test performance, not afraid of being beaten up later face?"

"However, there is one thing to say, I really want to see what Xingyuan Technology's new product looks like this time!"

"I'm really afraid that Xingyuan Technology will go downhill. It will be too embarrassing to build a sweeping robot later."

"Don't say it so early. Boston Dynamics is an established company in the field of robotics. It has a lot of machinery-related technologies. It's really hard to say whether the robots developed by Xingyuan Technology can compare."

"Whenever Mr. Niu let everyone down, support is over."

"By the way, why do I feel like this is a deliberately staged drama? Is the representative of Boston Dynamics planning to use his own products as green leaves to set off the awesomeness of the intelligent robot developed by Xingyuan Technology? This is too great! "

Vik has been in this industry for so many years, and it is normal to have sufficient confidence in his own strength. Most of the audience attending the expo are fans of Xingyuan Technology. They have watched Xingyuan Technology grow to today's scale all the way. It is also within a reasonable range that the product is full of trust.

So of course the scene in front of him couldn't have been staged by Vic on purpose.

Even if he is about to leave the company, it is impossible for him to do such a thing of scolding his mother with his job.

As for Vic's performance on stage, Niu Geng naturally noticed it, and he was also very happy about it.

I didn't expect that someone would cooperate with the company to promote the accompanying robot.

Originally, according to the plan, the companion robot will not appear at the expo tomorrow, for the audience to experience and use at close range, and at the same time, it will be launched on the official website for sales.

However, only users in Jingzhou can purchase it.

Even if people in other cities find a way to buy it, they can only use it at home and are not allowed to appear on the road outside, otherwise the law enforcement agencies have the right to directly confiscate it.

The reason why Jingzhou City is the only pilot city in the country is because the companion robot can appear on the road aboveboard, helping the owner to buy things by express delivery and execute other orders.

It is equivalent to a servant who does not complain about hard work and does not need to pay wages. All the user needs to do is to ensure the battery.

Since Vic offered to compete his robot dog with the accompanying robot, with so many eyes on the scene, Niu Geng would have no reason not to agree.

Thinking of this, Niu Geng raised his wrist and tapped on the terminal with his fingers, and after the virtual projection of Xingling appeared, he directly ordered remotely: "Promise him, let our companion robot show his face in advance."

"It's the boss."

At this time, Xing Ling, who was sitting in the backstage of the arena, did not hesitate after receiving Niu Geng's order. After finishing the call, he explained to the host on stage, and at the same time asked people to prepare to activate the companion robot that had been waiting.

-

Less than a minute after Vic expressed his wishes, the host on the stage touched the earphones in his ears without any trace, and then returned to the standard smile just now, patiently having a new conversation with Vic. A round of communication.

"Mr. Vik, if you want to compete with the intelligent robot products developed by Xingyuan Technology, once you lose the competition, the championship trophy and prize money will probably be lost. I hope you can carefully consider this point."

Faced with the reporter's reminder, Vik barely reacted, and replied impatiently: "I've thought it through, hurry up and get the Xingyuan Technology products."

With Vic's usual personality, when he makes a certain decision, he will become more determined as time goes by.

So let alone losing bonuses and trophies at this time, even if Ming told him that the robot dog had no chance of winning, he would not give up, and he would try everything.

The host routinely completed the final inquiry, and without delaying too much time, he immediately preached to the audience: "Originally, this latest product of Xingyuan Technology will meet with you tomorrow, but it seems that Mr. Vic is so sincere. For the sake of this, we can only meet everyone’s expectations in advance.”

"Now ask the staff to invite the latest research from Xingyuan Technology to successfully accompany the robot!"

As the host's voice fell, a keyword mentioned was successfully captured by the audience, and a question mark slowly popped up in their minds.

"A companion robot, shouldn't it be an early childhood education machine, the kind that tells stories at night?"

"You're talking about a smart screen, right? That's not the same thing as an intelligent robot. Even if Xingyuan Technology is pulling it, it's impossible to make that kind of thing. It's not worthy of its own technology."

"I'm looking forward to it, I always feel that this time I will have a big surprise."

"The word "companion" can be interpreted in other ways. Could it be the kind of robot that makes people feel comfortable? Boss Niu understands us too well."

"I just want to know this companion robot, is he realistic?"

……

Under the voices of the audience discussing each other, it is strange that there is no so-called staff to deliver the product, which makes Vic even think of it.

Could it be that the intelligent robot developed by Xingyuan Technology is too weak to compete with our robot dog?

possible.

It's a pity that not long after this idea appeared, Vik was stunned by what happened next. His pupils dilated rapidly, and he was a little stunned, and his brain fell into a blank.

And he is not the only one who behaves like this, the same is true for the audience sitting around him.

It was like seeing a picture that was unimaginable in this life.

From the perspective of the host, I saw a metal object about 1.7 meters walking towards the stage. It has human-like limbs, a flat and hard breastplate, and shoulders that are slightly smaller than normal men. head.

Coupled with the soft blue light emitted from the eye sockets, it gives people a sense of sight that has come out of science fiction movies. In short, it is very eye-catching.

Intelligent robots developed by other companies or teams are generally held by human beings when they enter the competition area, even the robot dog powered by Boston.

But the companion robot produced by Xingyuan Technology came up by itself, and didn't even need the remote control of the staff. From this point alone, it completely crushed the robot dog of Boston Dynamics. The two are not at the same level at all. , there is no comparison.

Although the host is not an official employee of Xingyuan Technology, fortunately, he has seen the real appearance of the companion robot in advance, so compared to others, he quickly returned to normal.

Then he turned around and greeted the big guy beside him.

"Can you introduce yourself to everyone?"

The voice of this sentence was received by the companion robot through the sensor. It first turned its head slightly, and then said: "Hello everyone, I am companion robot 000007, and you can tell me what you need."

Magnetic synth sound with a touch of metal.

What’s more, after saying these few words, No. 000007 projected a virtual light curtain from the eyes. The above is the detailed introduction map of the companion robot, including the names and functions of each part, and the ability to request it Things to do.

It is equivalent to a high-tech version of the instruction manual, which can help users master the companion robot faster.

At this time, the audience sitting around finally came to their senses slowly. Although their eyes were still a little dull, it did not affect the expression of their inner feelings at this time.

For a while, the venue was full of vulgar language.

"Fuck, this thing is definitely not from a sci-fi movie."

"I strongly doubt that Niu always has the ability to travel through the world of movies. This companion robot is too powerful and can be used as a tool man."

"Is this a product that will be available this year, or will it be a little earlier."

"I feel like after a few generations of development, I can go to work directly instead of me. Wouldn't it be nice for me to lie at home and wait for my salary?"

"Tell me the price and let me give up."

The host, who listened to the audience's discussion, responded immediately: "The companion robot will be officially launched after the expo. You can buy it on the official website of Xingyuan Technology. Residents of Jingzhou City, other friends may have to wait for a while."

It is worth mentioning that.

Regarding the distribution of companion robots this time, Xingyuan Technology still chose to cooperate with Shunfeng Express, because the same-city delivery is basically delivered on the same day when the order is placed.

Shunfeng Express also attaches great importance to this. After many discussions, it finally chooses to open up a special delivery route separately, and implements special delivery by special person and car to ensure that the product is delivered to the customer in a safe and stable manner.

After all, now Xingyuan Technology has become Shunfeng's largest high-end customer, Shunfeng must provide good service no matter what, otherwise if the cooperation breaks down, it will definitely cause a huge blow to Shunfeng, and it may be depressed from now on.

We must know that the competitive pressure in the express delivery industry is not small at the moment.

As for Vic, who was still standing on the stage at the moment, his entire face was completely gloomy, and there were only two words left in his heart.

regret.

If he had known that Xingyuan Technology had developed to such a perverted level in the field of intelligent robots, how could he be so strong that he couldn't get off the stage now, let alone the championship reward.

It's completely typical of losing his wife and losing his army.

And when Vic was secretly thinking about how to avoid embarrassment and not lose face, Xingling walked over from the backstage at some point and asked with a smile: "Mr. Vic, may I ask if you want to compete with each other now?" Performance?"

"No... no need."

"We, Boston Dynamics, admit defeat. Your company's research in the field of intelligent robots is far from what we can compare."

Faced with a super beautiful woman's inquiry, Vik could only answer bravely, but in order to save face for himself and the company as much as possible, he chose to answer in a foreign language.

It's a pity that as soon as he finished speaking, the number 000007 standing next to him translated it verbatim, literally slapping Vic in the face.

If you say it's not controlled by humans, you won't believe it even if you beat yourself to death.
