Chapter 400: The Age of Robots
Ye Ting and Sanfeng entered Tianjing University together, the two of them reported late, and the other two classmates who were assigned to the same dormitory had already arrived, the chubby girl was called Zhuo Junlan, and the tall girl was called Yu Qionghua.
They are all young people who have just left home and gone to the capital to study, and after introducing each other, they quickly became familiar with each other.
Or young people don't pay attention to sports such as horse racing, and no one on campus has recognized Ye Ting, the newly released champion.
Ye Ting brought a lot of specialty snacks from home and took them out to share with her classmates, and one of the bags was actually filled with a small Pomeranian!
This Pomeranian is white all over, only the nose and two eyeballs are black, the small ears are pink, the small body and legs, the furry, and looks particularly cute and cute.
Ye Ting put the puppy on the ground, and the puppy barked twice, and immediately shook his head and circled around her.
When Zhuo Junlan saw it, she screamed happily, ignored the puppy's struggle, ran over and hugged it in her arms, and said, "Is this what you raised?" What a cute puppy. ”
Yu Qionghua also walked over, touched the soft hair on the puppy's body, and said worriedly: "Can you keep pets in the dormitory building?" ”
Zhuo Lijun thought for a while, put down the puppy, and said, "Small pets such as goldfish and turtles are okay, but kittens and puppies don't seem to work, right?" ”
Yu Qionghua said: "Then what should I do? Let's keep it in the dormitory and raise it quietly. ”
"No, the dormitory has to be checked every week."
Ye Ting laughed when she heard this, until her stomach hurt a little from laughing, and then she explained: "Xiaobai is a toy dog." Not really a puppy. ”
Zhuo Junlan saw the puppy biting Ye Ting's trouser leg for a while. rubbed Ye Ting's calf with his head for a while. Spoiled from time to time, lively and clever, where is it like a toy dog?
Yu Qionghua also wanted to hug it, but saw that the puppy hurriedly ran away, and turned around and barked softly twice, the expression was clearly a little reluctant, Yu Qionghua said: "This is obviously a puppy." “
Ye Ting pointed to the ground and said, "Xiaobai." Go to bed. ”
Hearing the order, the puppy suddenly quieted down, closed his eyes, and lay motionless on the ground, Ye Ting held the puppy in her hand, pressed the switch on her abdomen, uncovered a piece of fur, revealed the battery equipment inside, and said: "Look, this is a toy dog with a high IQ." ”
Zhuo Junlan and Yu Qionghua were stunned. Said: "This ...... Where did you buy this? Is there such a realistic and intelligent toy dog? ”
Ye Ting said: "It doesn't seem to be on the market yet, it's a test product that my brother took out from the real room." ”
"Who is your brother? Such a ......."
……
August. Lingxi divided Galaxy Intelligent Technology into two, in which the software development department was upgraded to Galaxy Software Company, and Galaxy Intelligent Technology Company will focus on the development and production of smart products, and initially put the goal on smart toys.
There are more than ten models of smart pet dogs like the one in Ye Ting's hand, the smallest one is the size of a palm, with a plastic shell and a plush skin, which is no different from a real puppy.
In mid-September, Galaxy Intelligent Technology Experience Stores have opened in major cities across the country, and electronic smart pet dogs have been officially listed, with a minimum price of 20,000 yuan, which is not cheap, it is already a luxury product, but the performance is dozens of times better than similar products exported by Sony Company.
Moreover, Galaxy Intelligent Technology stated that the price will be reduced every six months, and it will be reduced to less than 10,000 yuan next year, and customers who are tight on money can wait for a while.
The foreign price is almost a money grab, as high as $8,800, and it is also a limited supply.
Although it is just a toy, the scientific and technological content is not simple, not to mention the intelligent chip and voice control system, the four-legged action system alone has cost the great efforts of the scientific researchers of Galaxy Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., filling several gaps in the research and development of Xinhua Guo's machine, reaching the world's most advanced level.
When the customer buys a pet dog, there is also a claim process, activate the smart program in the experience store, bind it with the customer's voice, and take a pet name, except for the customer himself, no one else can command the pet dog, and if the toy is transferred, it needs to be re-bound.
Smart pet dogs can even recognize the body and appearance of the bound owner, can accurately follow the owner for a walk, will run, somersault, bark, dance, coquettish, etc., can understand dozens of simple instructions, such as keeping up, dancing, running, squatting, coming, quiet, sleeping, etc., in short, smart and cute, can interact with the owner, make people happy.
The most powerful thing about pet dogs is that they can judge the general situation of the owner, and when the owner is angry and happy, the reaction is completely different.
After the listing, it unsurprisingly caused a huge sensation, by many people crazy chasing sticks, toy dogs in short supply, and even animal protectionists protested, thinking that this too realistic toy dog, will make some real pets, abandoned by the owner.
In addition to the "puppy", Galaxy Intelligent Technology has also developed a "big dog", that is, the passenger "Whirlwind Wolf" machine.
This kind of machine is slightly larger than the wolf, can run and walk, can automatically avoid obstacles, strong power, although there is vibration when running, but the waist is the riding part of the shock absorption treatment, familiar with it is much more comfortable than riding a bicycle.
Originally, Galaxy Intelligent Technology wanted to cover it with a layer of wolf-like fur and sell it as an interesting ride-on pet machine, but the military quickly noticed the study and asked Galaxy Intelligent Technology to keep it secret, temporarily stop the listing, and the military put forward suggestions for improvement and procurement.
The "Whirlwind Wolf" is much better than the newly developed and improved "Alpha Dog" in all aspects, the "Alpha Dog" can carry 400 pounds of military supplies, travel 20 miles over rough terrain, has excellent balance, and can get up after a fall to continue moving.
Although the "Whirlwind Wolf" machine is smaller than the size of the person, when using A-type rare earth nano batteries, it can carry more than 30 kilometers with a load of 200 kilograms, and the fastest speed can reach 30 kilometers per hour when running.
If you attach a tire to the joints of your limbs, you can also travel as fast as a motorcycle on the road, reaching a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
This is undoubtedly a sharp weapon for the army, which can be used as a means of riding for infantry when advancing on complex terrain, or as a means of transport, following the advance of the troops, and even performing some dangerous special tasks, which is extremely versatile.

Although the smart chips launched by Galaxy Intelligent Technology are only used in toys, in terms of scientific and technological level, they are no less than the machines being developed in various countries, and some companies or institutions have tried to crack the mystery of smart chips, but all of them have found nothing.
Some scientists believe that this kind of intelligent machine with self-judgment ability is listed, marking the advent of the era of intelligent machine people.
Some people are surprised, and some pessimists are worried about it.
Many people have made statements that the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the awakening of self-consciousness are not just fictional plots in science fiction movies.
Some people even think that Galaxy Intelligent Technology's products are the first step for robots to invade human beings, calling on everyone to boycott this kind of toy.
As for whether to let human beings enter the era of intelligent machines in advance, Ye Quan also thought about it for a long time.
Its benefits are obvious, replacing human work with machine qì people, and promoting the rapid development of various industries.
With the development of the country, the rise of labor costs and the aging of the population continue to intensify, while the cost of the machine is declining, and the performance is also constantly improving.
It frees humans from most of their repetitive, monotonous or heavy labor, allowing them to focus more on study, research, creation and entertainment.
Although it may cause some social problems such as unemployment in the early days, it will ultimately benefit the entire human race, and you can enjoy more of the fruits brought by the machine.
With the current social productive forces, especially in developing countries, it seems that there is no end in sight to enter the era of high welfare for all people, and the advent of the era of machine people will be a dawn of exposure.
Ye Quan was more worried about the huge impact of the Jiqì people when they entered various fields of human society, and how to share scientific and technological achievements fairly, rather than the interests being only controlled by a small number of people.
However, these problems were not something that Ye Quan could bear alone, he could only be as cautious as possible and slow down his steps. (To be continued......)
