Chapter 314: The House of Wali

When the book was released, Pittsburgh, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, ······ There are posters with cute images of Vali and Eva everywhere.

Signboards on the side of the highway, on the subway, on the bus, on the flyover, on the taxi, ······ Americans never knew that so many places could be advertised, and everyone was very interested in the robot Wal-E and Eva on the signboard, and they were all asking if Vali and Eva were comic book characters or movie characters.

Of course, Zhong Yuemin did all this, and his all-round advertising bombardment immediately had a huge impact in the United States, and Disney Publishing quickly followed suit, recommending the book "Robot Wall-E" on various channels.

At this time, everyone learned that "WALL-E" is an autonomous robot left on the earth to clean up garbage after humans evacuated the earth for 700 years, and "Eva" is a robot that went to the earth from the Endeavour to find green life.

Everyone was attracted by the touching story of WALL-E the robot and Eva, and almost everyone from adults to children had a copy of "WALL-E the robot".

Zhong Yuemin's book quickly sparked a frenzy of discussion in the United States, especially among science fiction fans, and the book constructs a new futuristic world, in which all kinds of novel technologies and technological fantasies are displayed, but the description is so natural, as if the author saw it with his own eyes.

Only then did everyone notice that the author was an Asian name, and they were all guessing where the author's deity was sacred, which caused a search from all kinds of media, and was revealed by people with a heart.

Reporters quickly blocked Zhong Yuemin at Carnegie Mellon University.

"Was WALL-E the robot really created by you?"

"Sir, can you tell us how you came up with a character like WALL-E the robot?"

……

"Sir, I heard that you came from Red China a year ago, can you tell us about it?"

……

Johnny and Mike are on the left and right, with their strong bodies, separating the swarming reporters, but they can't stop their "long guns and short guns" and shouting in the air.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Zhong Yuemin shouted with his hand blocking the flashing spotlight, "Thank you very much for your concern for me, I have decided to hold a press conference at noon today, and I will answer all your questions truthfully. Thank you!"

After saying that, Zhong Yuemin ran away, leaving Johnny and Mike to deal with these uncrowned kings, although the reporters were a little disappointed, but they were all reasonable, after all, there would be a press conference at noon.

"Fellow journalists, the press conference will be held this afternoon at 208 Pittsburgh Civic Plaza, and there will be a small dinner after the reception, and we look forward to your participation. Johnny announced.

The reporters got the exact news, and then they dispersed.

"Mike, what did Min set up over there in the town square?" Johnny didn't know why Zhong Yuemin held a press conference at No. 208, only that Mike had been there for a week.

"That would be an unforgettable miracle!" Mike said, selling Guanzi.

Johnny gave him a blank look, "Are you going to say it or not?"

"I can't say it, Master said that it must not be said until the mystery is finally revealed! Otherwise, I will die!" Mike shrugged.

"Then don't you believe it, if you don't say you're going to die now!" Johnny threatened, snapping his fingers.

Mike immediately jumped out of the way and made a starter, "Why don't we fight?"

"Come on, come on!" Johnny made a boxing gesture and immediately met the fight.

······

The Vali company was still busy at this time, and after Zhong Yuemin returned, he also joined them.

"Peter, what about Microsoft's operating system magnitude?"

Peter, Thor, and others are urgently experiencing Microsoft's latest computer operating system.

In the original time and space, Zhong Yuemin remembers that Microsoft only released its first operating system in 1985, but for some reason, the pollution at this time was advanced to 1980.

Zhong Yuemin speculated that it may be because the R&D progress of WALL-E was discovered by Microsoft, and they urgently released it first.

The experience and unpacking of Peter, Thor and others also verified this, Peter said to Zhong Yuemin: "boss, the simulation environment of Microsoft's operating system DOSS, the ease of use is far worse than ours, and there are many bugs in it, which is almost difficult to run on the computer. ”

Zhong Yuemin breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that history has not been changed too much by himself, and the advantage of foresight is still valid.

"Microsoft's operating system has some shadows of our Windows system, and it is likely that we learned about our system from some sources and imitated it. Thor also reported.

It was indeed imitated, but it was not Microsoft that imitated Wall-E's Windows system, but Zhong Yuemin borrowed from the Microsoft operating system thirty years later, Zhong Yuemin said: "Don't worry about it for the time being, verify the performance of the Windows system for the last time, and make sure that the demonstration at noon is foolproof!"

"We've tried it a thousand times!" Thor said in disgust, "Boss, you don't have to be so careful, do you?!"

"If it fails, I will cancel all your dividends, what do you think?" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.

"No! I'll start right away!" Thor immediately recked.

Everyone is very optimistic about the victory of Wali Alpha, and even more optimistic about the development prospects of Wali Company, and no one will be willing to give up injured options and dividends on the eve of victory.

······

Pittsburgh's downtown is at the confluence of two rivers, with tall buildings and Mount Washington across the street.

Before 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the front of Gate 208 was already crowded with media reporters and people watching the excitement.

No wonder people are curious, 208 has been surrounded by a huge curtain for a full week, and I heard that the mystery will be solved today, and half the city wants to find out.

Zhong Yuemin placed a set of microphones in front of him to ensure that his voice could reach everyone's ears.

"Hello everyone, I am the author of 'Robot Wall-E', my name is Zhong Yuemin. Zhong Yuemin introduced himself first.

caused a cheer below, obviously there are many book friends below, and some people keep calling his name.

"It's a Chinese name, if you don't know how to pronounce it, you can call it Yuemin or Min, you don't have to compare it with your own tongue. ”

"Haha······" Zhong Yuemin's little joke caused a burst of laughter.

Zhong Yuemin and the others were quieter and continued: "What I want to say about 'Robot Wall-E' is in the book, so we will go directly to the one-hour Q&A session, and I will try to answer everyone's questions, starting now." ”

Zhong Yuemin's non-routine made everyone a little confused, but the reporters quickly reacted, and a series of questions gushed out, like 50,000 ducks quacking.

"Stop, stop, I can't hear you clearly, please don't talk yet, my colleague will pass the microphone, whoever you go there can ask questions, and you are allowed to ask one question at a time!"

After receiving Zhong Yuemin's signal, Mike handed the microphone to the female reporter, "Mr. Min, how did you come up with this story?"

"I studied computer science, and I dream every day about what the future will be like in the world, and this is the result of my dreams!"

"Haha······"

"Sir, do you really think that humanity will eventually destroy the earth to the point where it is impossible to survive?" the microphone passed to a male journalist who was more concerned about the fate of the planet.

Zhong Yuemin shrugged, "As far as I know, the existing nuclear weapons on the earth are enough to destroy all the human migration environment on the earth, and if you don't wake up to this, the earth will not be far away from abandoning humans." ”

······

Time flies, questions are thrown one after another, and Zhong Yuemin answers quickly, which greatly satisfies everyone's curiosity.

"Gentlemen, the time is almost up, and now is the last question, who wants to ask?"

"Me!"

"Give it to me!"

······ There was a lot of noise below, and everyone wanted to ask questions that interested them.

Zhong Yuemin glanced at the venue and saw a little girl sitting on her father's shoulder, trying her best to raise her hands, which looked particularly cute.

"Okay, I would like to ask the lovely lady in red and riding a big horse to ask a question!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.

For a while, all eyes were focused on the little girl, and everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw her cute appearance.

The little girl was also a little shy, she didn't expect to be the lucky one, even though she had raised her hand high.

Mike handed her the microphone and kindly encouraged, "Ask your question!"

The little girl's father also encouraged: "Lisa, don't you have a question for Mr. Author?"

The little girl was still a little nervous, holding the microphone and unable to say a word.

"Beautiful lady, how old are you this year?" Zhong Yuemin asked with a smile.

"Five, five-and-a-half. ”

"Five and a half years old, that's a wonderful age!"

The audience and the little girl below were all amused by Zhong Yuemin's witty words, and were also moved by Zhong Yuemin's heartwarming question.

"Aren't you nervous?" Zhong Yuemin asked again.

"Don't be nervous anymore. Lisa replied with a smile.

Zhong Yuemin said: "Then what is your problem?"

"I would like to ask Mr. Author, do Vali and Eva really exist?"

"That's a good question! Thank you, Miss Lisa!" Zhong Yuemin praised, and replied, "In the future, maybe in our lifetime, we will see robots like WALL-E appear." And now, we already have a preliminary version of WALL-E, and we can see it now. ”

"Buzz ······" Everyone in the audience was boiling, the first version of the WALLI robot has appeared, and it is really shocking news that shocks the world!

······

Zhong Yuemin waved his hand, and the curtain behind him fell, and a huge transparent glass curtain wall was displayed in front of everyone, and the two-story building seemed to be split by the curtain wall, and the structure inside was clear under the illumination of the shining lights.

On the glass curtain wall, there is a huge WALL-E logo, through which a WALL-E Alpha computer is neatly arranged on a huge wood-colored square table.

Everyone was completely attracted by this creative design across time and space, and it was not until Zhong Yuemin opened his mouth that he came back to his senses, and the reporters raised their cameras one after another and shot wildly at the glass curtain wall.

"I'll reintroduce myself. Zhong Yuemin held the microphone, "I am the founder of Wall-E Computer Systems Co., Ltd., my name is Zhong Yuemin. ”

Call Johnny, Mike, Jane, Thor, Peter, Stephen, Stephen and the others, "These are my partners, because of our joint efforts, the Wall-E Alpha Computer, is officially released today!"

The reporters were shooting frantically again, the spotlight flashed blindly, and the scene was suddenly filled with thick smoke, and Zhong Yuemin estimated that PM2.5 must be a report.

"Sir, what can the Vali Alpha computer do?" someone asked impatiently.

Zhong Yuemin didn't rush to answer, but asked, "What do you want him to do?"

"Sing!"

"Yes. Zhong Yuemin gestured to Stephen, Stephen inserted the disk where the song was recorded, clicked on the music playback software, and Alpha remembered the "yesterday once more" of the Carpenter siblings.

“When I was young

When I was younger

I'd listen to the radio

I love listening to the radio

Waitin' for my favorite songs

Wait for that favorite song

When they played I'd sing along

I'll sing along with the song

······”

The music was so beautiful and clear that it even made the audience sing along.

"Can WALL-Alpha draw?" someone asked again.

"Of course. Zhong Yuemin nodded, "Alpha comes with painting software, as long as you love it, you can draw, the operation is very simple, you can try it later." ”

Watching Stephen's operation, someone immediately noticed the mouse that Stephen was operating in his hand.

"What is that, sir?"

Zhong Yuemin took a mouse and showed it to everyone, "This is a mouse, it is a new invention of Wall-E, mainly to make the operation of the computer easier, as long as you can do the posture of rabbit ears, you can operate the computer." ”

Zhong Yuemin said as he made a rabbit ear shape, which amused everyone.

Zhong Yuemin continued: "I believe everyone can see that Vali Alpha is different from any previous computer. The graphical interface on the screen, which is also a new invention of the WALL-E Windows system, will make the operation of computers much easier, and computers will no longer be complex machines for programmers and engineers, but will become personal tools for all people!

People can use it to type, calculate, draw, listen to music, play games, and even contact anyone far away in the future!"

Zhong Yuemin's words were very demagogic, and the emotions of everyone at the scene were burned to the highest point, and they all stretched their necks to see it.

"Next, welcome to the WALL-E House, where there are 50 WALL-E Alpha computers for you to experience, I hope you enjoy using them!"

As soon as Zhong Yuemin's voice fell, the door of the Wall-E House opened, and everyone almost ran into the glass building to begin to experience the various colors of Wall-Alah computers.
