Technological Hegemony

As the world's first robot product with complete functions, Star Wings has shocked the whole world since the moment it was released to the public.

Everyone was shocked. Xiaoyi's intelligence is equivalent to that of a child in elementary school, and she is also the most well-behaved, sensible and obedient kind. Her cute voice and expression, and the potential of Xiaoxiao's jokes make everyone crazy Drunk, even the die-hard conservatives who oppose robots, when faced with such a kind little guy, it's hard to hate them.

And these are not the most powerful parts of Xiaoyi. The robot is the most powerful craftsman known to mankind. It is a perfect combination of strength and skill. Dancing on thin silk.

Robots are not geniuses, and they need to learn, but their learning speed is unbelievable. You only need to teach them any skill once, and they will remember it completely, and copy it perfectly over and over again.

It is no exaggeration to say that Luo Jia’s introduction of robots into the service field is a bit overkill. The strongest ability of robots is actually in industrial production. Every robot is a super craftsman who works around the clock. The assembly line will inevitably sweep away all opponents.

In short, the appearance of robots has driven the whole world crazy, causing a huge sensation, and at the same time, it has also pushed all countries except China to the brink of an unprecedented crisis.

...

"Intentional demolition of robots will be regarded as a serious breach of contract and a fine of 30 million US dollars will be imposed. Star Technology reserves the right to further pursue legal responsibilities."

Director Koji Ikeda of Academia Sinica, a subsidiary of Honda Co., Ltd., is frowning slightly at this moment, reading the terms of rights and responsibilities in the robot manual, and then said to the chief engineer Isamu Morizumi next to him: "We disassemble the wings of the star, if we can have It’s okay to find out, if you don’t find out, you will have to pay Xingchen Technology a lot of money, 30 million U.S. dollars, which is really expensive.”

Morizumi sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, Xingchen Technology is clearly trying to hack us, because we have no other choice. We must dismantle the robot. If we don't dismantle the star wings and find out the secrets, We will be thrown farther away by Xingchen Technology, which the company and even the entire Neon cannot bear."

"Whether it's $3 million or $30 million to disassemble a robot, we have to look at the technology behind the robot."

Koji Ikeda spread his arms and said: "As you said, we have no choice but to pay liquidated damages to study, and Toyota, Panasonic, Sony, Sanyo, Komatsu, Sumitomo, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, FANUC, Yaskawa Well, all big-name companies, together with institutions headed by the University of Tokyo, and state-owned scientific research institutes, all have to study Huaxia's robots. If one is not enough, they even have to disassemble two.

Three sets, adding all these liquidated damages together, only our neon, at least have to pay billions of dollars to Star Technology. "

"Not to mention rich and powerful North America, our old rival South Korea, Europe's Germany and France, all in all, the cost of dismantling and researching robots is far beyond anyone's imagination. After all, robots symbolize the ultimate power of the human world, unlimited productivity, No one will ever pass up the opportunity to catch up with robotics.”

"Luo Jia, the boss of Xingchen Technology, is by no means a kind person. I have a feeling that he is probably sitting in his office right now, staring at us with a smirk on his face."

Speaking of which, both of them showed expressions as if they had eaten a fly at the same time. Things in this world are so interesting sometimes, even if you know there is a pit ahead, you still have to jump down.

It was almost time for the break. Koji Ikeda and Isamu Morizumi left the lounge and returned to the research center. They saw that the researchers had already opened the chest deck of the Star Wing. The complex mechanical structure and dense circuits made people dizzy.

"So complicated? Can we restore it after we take it apart?"

"That's enough. The factory of Xingchen Technology uses a large number of high-precision robotic arms. We don't have similar precision tools. Even if we barely assemble them back, the performance will be greatly reduced."

Hey~

Koji Ikeda felt particularly frustrated. As one of the most powerful companies in Neon, the gap between Honda and Xingchen Technology has been widened to such an extent. After dismantling the Star Wings, they have no way to fully recover. It is a bit embarrassing.

...

Star Science and Technology Administration, high-level regular meeting.

"King Abdullah University?" Luo Jia asked with doubts: "Are you sure? The most dismantled winglets are not the major laboratories in North America, nor Google, Apple and other wealthy companies, but this king the University?"

Li Moran shrugged, "I'm pretty sure, based on the feedback we've received so far, King Abdullah University dismantled 20 sets of Star Wings just this week, and paid us 600 million US dollars in liquidated damages."

Cao Yuan said with a smile: "I happen to have a brother who works there, and he told me that because our Karman vortex street power generation array has solved the energy problem, the oil price in the global futures market has plummeted, and the big dog is actually on the verge of bankruptcy now. .”

"It's not so much that they are local tyrants, it's better to say that they are desperate. In the past, King Abdullah University recruited a group of talents because of its wealth, but the talents went for money. Once the school has no money, everyone They will all leave. Instead of sitting still and waiting to die, it is better to concentrate the last force and storm our robot technology. If we can make a breakthrough, we may be able to survive in the future. Otherwise, according to the current oil price, they will soon return to the desert to herd camels. "

Luo Jia didn't say anything. If he was afraid of others stealing the core technology, he wouldn't send the robot overseas. Facing the behemoth of the West, it would be unrealistic to knock it down in a short time, so Luo Jia was very upset. Chicken thieves, using every possibility to slowly weaken the power of the western world.

Before the robot, the West tried to crack the Karman vortex street power generation array. At that time, hundreds of imitation devices were built around the world, which cost a lot of manpower and financial resources, trying to figure out the principle of the Karman vortex street power generation technology.

Of course, the result is a mess. The key to Karman Vortex Street technology is not the principle, but the material and algorithm. Without high-strength skeleton materials and complex mathematical algorithms, even if the array is imitated according to the ratio of one to one, it will crash when it runs. Yes, I heard that France and North America have sued for life because of counterfeit power generation arrays.

Luo Jia's current strategy is very simple, just let the West crack it. Anyway, the core of science and technology comes from the golden dome. With the current technological level of the earth, it is almost impossible to crack it. Instead, it will cost a lot of money and waste the lives of a lot of scientists.

If the West focuses on catching up with and cracking star technology, it will have no time to develop new technologies and research new results. This is the prisoner's dilemma for technology chasers.

"Let's follow our established strategy and popularize robots step by step. As for the West wanting to crack it, let them crack it. I like to watch them hit the south wall until their heads are broken." Luo Jia finally set the tone. : "And the happier they dismantle it, the more liquidated damages we receive. Instead of selling robots for money, I prefer the current state, 30 million dollars apiece, no bargaining, buy it or not, tear it down We don’t even need the warranty.”

Hahaha~

Everyone in the conference room laughed lightly. Luo Jia's words were really domineering. He liked to dismantle or not, and bought or not. Don't be wronged, now it's finally the turn of the West.

"It's still early, do you have other things to discuss?" Luo Jia glanced at the time and said.

An Ran shook her head, saying that there is nothing special about the hardware department. The three major projects, robots, space elevators, and controllable fusion, are progressing steadily, but it still takes time.

Although Li Moran's software department has no new projects to launch, the work is still not easy. After all, the zero space station and the space elevator are super projects of the giant level, and there are too many control software that need to be written.

Cao Yuan and Shen Lang also expressed that they had nothing to report, and Luo Jia was about to announce the end of the meeting. At this time, the Wen family brothers looked at each other, and the elder brother Wen Chengling stood up, frowning slightly and said: "It was just a matter of speculation, and there is no real evidence. , It shouldn’t be discussed at the management meeting, but our brothers discussed it and felt that the matter is of great importance, so it’s best to report it to the company.”

Oh?

Hearing these words, everyone cheered up immediately. The life science department managed by the Wen family brothers has an extremely mysterious and special position in the company, and they don't know what the rumors are?

Swallowing, Wen Chengling said, "Last night, I received an anonymous letter."

anonymous letter?

Everyone had incredible expressions on their faces.

An Ran frowned and said, "Did it bypass the company's firewall and send it to your private mailbox?"

Li Moran hurriedly waved his hand beside him, "It's unlikely, if it's an anonymous suspicious email, our firewall would have blocked it immediately."

Just when everyone was wondering how the anonymous letter got into Wen Chengling's mailbox, he reached into his coat pocket and took out a yellow kraft paper envelope.

"Handwritten letter!?" An Ran showed an expression of sudden realization, and scratched her head with her hands, "The last time I received this kind of letter was when the school sent me the admission letter. Send a letter."

Wen Chengling remained calm, handed the letter to Cao Yuan beside him, and let everyone circulate it. After going around the desk, the letter finally reached Luo Jia. He looked at the postmark on it, North America, Alaska.

The envelope had already been opened by the Wen family brothers, and they squeezed it with their hands. It was very thin, and there was only a piece of letter paper inside.

"Who sent this letter, and what is it about?" Luo Jia didn't read it. He put down the envelope and asked the Wen family brothers directly.

"The name of this letter is John, so it should be a pseudonym." Wen Chengling said, "As for the content of the letter, it is to remind us that Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has found a code of life that is completely different from ours, code-named C60, which is known as the world. The existence of the most perfect structure on the planet, the fullerene."
