Conference room at Apple headquarters.

The atmosphere was a bit dull. On the conference table, the directors in suits and leather shoes all focused on the chief Cook.

Apple stock went down and down, and they were losing a lot of money and worth less by the minute.

This is not good news.

"Cook, you went to Huaxia, what did you gain this time?" A middle-aged man with glasses asked opposite Cook.

Those who know him in the circle will all admire him three points.

He joined the Gene Technology Company as a scientist and turned the Gene Technology Company from a small company on the verge of bankruptcy into a giant in the biological field with an annual income of 130 billion US dollars and a market value of more than 1000 billion US dollars, creating a myth on Wall Street.

He is the chairman and CEO of Genentech, the largest pharmaceutical company in the United States. He is also the member of Apple's board of directors with the highest known shareholding. He is currently the chairman of Apple's board of directors, Levinson.

After Levinson spoke, Cook immediately cheered up. Although Apple is managed by him, he is also constrained by the board of directors.

"Levinson, to be honest, I didn't get much useful things when I went to China this time. Instead, I did a lot of stupid things." Cook said.

"We're not interested in hearing your stupid things, we just want to know what you've gained." A nearly 70-year-old man in the seat said.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the conference room straightened up.

Sugar, former CEO of Northrop Grumman.This is the third largest arms dealer in the world. The famous B2 stealth bomber, Global Hawk UAV, and Nimitz-class aircraft carrier are all products of this company.No one outside knows how many shares of Apple he holds, but those who know him are in awe of him.

This old man with two beards is definitely one of the people at the top of the American food chain.

Hearing Shugel speak, Cook's heart trembled.Don't look at him as the CEO of Apple Inc., he is famous, but the people who really control Apple Inc. are the board of directors.

"I met with the chairman and president of Army Ants and came up with the idea of ​​buying their company."

"The results of it?"

"It was rejected, rejected without hesitation, and they said they would not sell the company." Cook said: "So I talked to them about the idea of ​​​​developing an IOS-side smart assistant."

All the directors present had their eyes on Cook and listened to Cook's words with a blank expression.

Former Vice President Gore, Disney's current chairman and CEO Robert, former Avon Group Chairman Zhong Binxian, East BlackRock partner Susan, former Boeing CFO James, this is the most luxurious board lineup.

No one is sure about this lineup.

"In the end, they asked us to open the source code of IOS. Because of the design of the smart assistant, we must understand the core code of IOS, otherwise we cannot develop it." Cook said with a black face.

Even he doesn't know whether what Chen Mo said is true or not, so he can only bite the bullet and believe it.

Everyone didn't answer, let Cook continue talking.

"I proposed that both sides open source code. We open source code of IOS to them, and they open source code of smart assistant to us, but they were rejected in the end. They insisted that unless we open source code of Apple system, otherwise we cannot develop The smart assistant on the IOS side, the conversation has no results."

"Tell me about the company." James said.

"The mobile phone business, in the Greater China region, dropped by 9% in the last quarter, and its market share dropped to fourth. After the smart assistant appeared in Marching Army Ant, the sales fell even more seriously. If it still cannot support the smart assistant, or we Siri has no technological breakthrough, and soon, the mobile phone will bid farewell to the Chinese market."

Cook had a sullen face, which was the reason why he had to go to Binhai City himself.

The smart assistant has upgraded the mobile phone for a whole generation. If it does not keep pace with the times, the Apple mobile phone business is the next Nokia.In the future, when the army ants enter the international market, they will be even more dangerous.

"Do you have any better ideas? Or open the source code of the mobile phone system to the army ants?" Cook asked.

Several people pondered, Marching Army Ant Company is in China, not in the United States, and it is not a listed company yet.They wanted to attack the Army Ant Company, but they couldn't pass the Chinese government's barrier.After all, China is not the United States and Europe, where only the Chinese government has the final say, not the capitalist predators.

If you are abroad, everything is easy to handle.They can do whatever they want, but not the red land. Any tentacles that break the rules will be cut off, and there is no reason to talk about it.

Thinking about it this way, they really have nothing to do with the Army Ant Company.There was a dead silence in the meeting room, and everyone was thinking about countermeasures.

"It is impossible to open the source code of IOS. Giants never bow to ants." Shugel said calmly.

The others looked at each other calmly and didn't say much.

"Our company's S2 will hold a press conference in the near future. If there is an intelligent assistant, its performance will surpass any mobile phone on the market." Cook's tone is very calm: "But if not, I'm afraid this time it will be very difficult." trouble."

The people on the field did not speak, they were all making their own calculations in their hearts.

It was not until the meeting was dissolved that everyone left the meeting room.

After getting in the car, Shugel took out his mobile phone, with a cold look in his eyes, and when he heard the call was connected, he flickered slightly: "Take two people to Huaxia, I want to get some things, 1000 million yuan .”

"Okay sir, I'll arrange it now."

After hanging up the phone, Shugel had a sinister smile on his wrinkled face.After the vehicle is started, follow the vehicle away from Apple.Other people's vehicles also left behind.

……

After Cook quietly left, the turmoil about the Army Ant Company also slowly subsided.Everything returned to normal, and the Army Ant Company was operating normally, as if those rumors on the Internet had never appeared.

Apple, on the other hand, didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

However, the topic of the second-generation butterfly eye and butterfly transformation appears in the media's field of vision from time to time.

As the flagship machine of Marching Ant Company, Butterfly Eye has pre-sold more than 200 million units during this period.This pre-sale volume is beyond everyone's expectations.

This pre-sale volume means that Marching Ant Company has been recognized by users.

The first batch of mobile phones have been shipped, and the supply is in short supply now, and there will be continuous shipments in the future.

Zhao Min has also sent people to contact European telecom operators, preparing to push the Butterfly Eye mobile phone to the European and international markets.As for the US market, they are not considering it for the time being.

Even a unicorn like Huawei, who wants to enter the US market, has no choice but to open a gap after so many years of hard work.They don't think that the current strength of the Army Ant Company will allow them to enter the US market.

So Zhao Min's eyes are fixed on the European market, maybe it can replace Apple's mobile phone in the future.

The company is developing rapidly, and Chen Mo is not idle.

Chen Mo hung the last design drawing on the wall of the laboratory, clapped his hands, and stared at the design drawing on the wall in front of him.

Seven design drawings, these are the designs of the robot.Including the head design of the machine, the design of the limbs and the body.The design of the body is the most complex and delicate, and this is the most important part of the robot.

Many functions will be concentrated here, so the design is very fine.

The design drawings of the parts have been handed over to Zhao Min, and the senior fitters in the workshop will build them according to the requirements, and they will be completed soon.When the time comes, his task is to assemble.

But before that, make the battery for the robot.

While Chen Mo was busy designing the robot, on a small road in the southwest border, two big men came out from the forest, with a terrifying aura on their bodies.

"I heard that this is a forbidden area for mercenaries? Hehe, I don't think so." The black man on the left said.

"Bor, don't be too happy. Complete the task first, leave safely, and then say this sentence, it's not easy here."

"Okay, Timid Jack."

Chapter 87 Timid Jack?

Chen Mo looked at the various parts in several boxes and grinned.

These are the parts that he asked the fitters in the workshop on the other side of the parts factory to use CNC machine tools to make parts.I finished it today and sent it all over to him.

In these several boxes, there are all the parts needed for the robot.Not far from the test bench, various device parts are placed there.Just for this robot, there are nearly a thousand parts of various sizes.

As the main components of the robot, they are made of carbon aluminum alloy and plastic.These materials are lighter in weight, which can reduce the weight of the robot and increase the running time.

He is now using battery power, and from the beginning of the design, the running time must be considered.

In addition to various components and various sensors, there are quite a few micro motors and servo motors.These are all machines, all of which are used to drive the joints of the robot.

After carefully checking the parts inside the box, Chen Mo took out all the parts inside and started to assemble them.

This is a delicate job, especially the two hands of the robot, which are the most critical parts, so he chose to start with the hands first.

He is now working on an assistant robot, and needs the robot to help him control the machine and manage the laboratory, which requires the robot to have a pair of flexible hands.Among all parts, the parts of the two hands are the most delicate.And in robotics, the hand is one of the most difficult structures to mimic.

After slowly entering the state, Chen Mo also sank into it.It wasn't until Mo Nu reminded him that Xiao Yu entered his experimental area that Chen Mo came back to his senses.

"Forgot the time again? It's off work, you go back now, or wait until you go back by yourself?" After entering Chen Mo's laboratory, Xiao Yu looked around.

"Wait, wait until I fix the fingers of this hand, let's go back together, soon." After Chen Mo finished speaking, he continued to focus on the mechanical palm of the experimental table.

"Assembling a robot?"

Xiao Yu looked at the design drawing on the wall, and then set his eyes on the mechanical palm in front of Chen Mo.

"The answer is correct, but this is just the beginning." Chen Mo said as he started, "It may take some time before success."

After Chen Mo put his attention on his palm, Xiao Yu sat on the chair next to him and looked at Chen Mo quietly.She can't help even if she wants to help. The only way to help is not to disturb.

About 15 minutes later, Chen Mo put down the small screwdriver in his hand: "It's ok, let's go back first, the rest of the work can't be done all at once."

"En." Xiao Yu nodded, helped Chen Mo pack up the laboratory and left, and rushed back to the villa.

……

Kaili International Hotel in Binhai City.

Jack was about to leave the hotel, but he was in a bad mood and his face was gloomy.Boer next to him was destroying his will like an undead fly.

It has been three days since he came here, and his ears only stop when he is sleeping.

"Jack, I found Huaxia to be good, and I started to like it here."

"Jack, what I ate yesterday was so delicious that I couldn't help but want to eat it again."

"I want to stay here now, and then sit and eat to die every day, hahahaha..."

"Jack..."

"Shitup." A little annoyed by the noise, Jack growled at Bole: "Don't talk nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue and stuff it into your ass."

"Okay, don't be angry. It's really fun here, it's hard to come to Huaxia once, let's play for a few more days..."

Before Bole finished speaking, he was stared back by Jack's cannibalistic eyes, and shut up embarrassingly.

"Action tonight, hurry up and prepare."

Jack put the pistol on his waist and straightened his clothes.Ignoring Bor, I picked up the map and looked at it carefully.

Not long after, the two left the hotel.

Outside the villa complex where Chen Mo lived, Bor carefully looked at the surrounding situation, and looked at the map from time to time.

Two days ago, I came to Binhai City with a tour group from Southwest Province.These two days, they have been observing the security situation of the villa community.

This is a high-end villa community, and the security situation is better than other places.There were only two of them, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

This operation is to obtain the source code technology of the smart assistant from Chen Mo.The task is not to have too many mercenaries entering Binhai City, otherwise they will be easily discovered, so only the two of them came here this time.

"Jack, look at that beautiful car, a limited edition Lamborghini..."

"You'd better be quiet for me, or I won't be able to control myself and kill you with one shot."

Jack really couldn't figure out why the higher-ups asked him and this talkative guy to complete this task. His ears had never been clean all the way.

"Well, I won't say it. It's useless for you to look at it like this. Just rush into his house, grab him, put a gun on his head and ask, don't you just have to? You're wasting time." Boer Disdain to say.

"It's a miracle that you can survive till now. I'll ask you to teach me how to survive later."

Jack said lightly, and continued to focus on the villa complex, looking at the map of the community in his hand from time to time, thinking about the next plan in his mind.

"Am I wrong? These rubbish security can be solved in a few clicks."

Boer looked at the document in his hand, there were several photos on the document, it was Chen Mo's photo, which was the goal of their mission.Face-blind to Orientals, he had to look twice.

"We are here to fetch things, not to kill people. Also, this is China, not the Middle East, Africa, or Europe. If you alert the Chinese government, then you can go home and eat, and no one can keep you. No Before getting the technology, no one should be alarmed."

Jack still stared at the villa complex: "I hope you remember that we only have one chance. If the mission fails, I will cut off your tongue and stuff it into your ass."

The task assigned to him was to obtain the technical information of the Army Ant Company.If they kill Chen Mo before getting the information, their mission will fail and the consequences will be very serious.So he had to be cautious and warn Bor.

"It's disgusting." Boer showed a disgusted expression: "Now are you going to do it?"

"Let's talk about the next thing first. After entering, you are not allowed to shoot unless you have to. If you shoot here, the consequences will be very troublesome. If you alert the Chinese government, you will die in an ugly way."

"Got it, it's the Chinese government every time. Are they that scary? They're really timid." Bor said impatiently.

"In this land, to us, they are so terrible. Otherwise, you think the Middle East is so chaotic, why is it so peaceful here? I hope you can obey my orders, otherwise I don't need other people to do it, I will kill you with my own hands ,Take action."

Jack put away the map in his hand, looked around, avoided the camera, walked to the corner of the villa's fence, and quickly turned inside the fence.

"It's really troublesome, cowardly Jack." Bol muttered, and his movements were not slow. He followed Jack and rolled into the villa complex in twos and threes.

Under the shadow of the night, the two moved lightly and quickly approached the villa where Chen Mo was.
