Chapter 322: The Doll Sells
The Presidential Office of Marylandis issued a document to designate the land on the border between Marylandis and Kabia as the Makazone with the cooperation of the local government.
This land is located on the border between the two countries, and after the establishment of the Special Economic Zone, the personnel and vehicles of Yuanying International Group and Wishing Star Trading Company will be able to travel freely between the Special Economic Zone and the two countries.
However, entering other areas of Marylandis from the Special Administrative Region still requires border clearance and customs duties.
Xu Yuan was already very satisfied with Marylandis's compromise, and he could even be said to be very surprised.
Maryland is so optimistic about the prospects of Source Film International Group that he even did not hesitate to come up with a cake like the establishment of a special zone to attract him to invest.
As Kabiya said, the people in Kabiya are still too poorly educated, and the productivity of workers is really related to the level of education.
This may not be visible in the boilers of steel plants, but it is still very much reflected in other factories.
For example, a housekeeping robot parts production plant.
To polish the same part, it takes 1 month for workers with primary school education to receive on-the-job training, and the daily parts processing speed is an average of 30 pieces.
The on-the-job training for workers with high Chinese only takes 10 days, and the average daily parts processing speed is 50 pieces.
Many Chinese laborers who entered Kabia from Marylandis are obviously one level more productive than those in Kabia.
After the issuance of the special zone document, Yuanying International Group negotiated with the person in charge of the special zone and obtained the ownership of a total of 15 square kilometers of land at a symbolic price of US$1 per square meter.
Immediately afterward, Yuanying International Group provided $1.5 billion in funding and hired five Huaguo construction companies to build roads, housing and other infrastructure on the 15-square-kilometer wasteland, as well as steel mills, robot parts production plants, and chemical plants for battery electrolytes.
When completed, the industrial park is expected to provide 120,000 jobs in Marylandis.
As soon as the housekeeping robot was launched, the entire network was once again boiling because of the name Yuanying International Group.
The number AI-00, nicknamed Xiaoyu, symbolizes the first generation of the concept of "artificial intelligence + service robot" of Yuanying International Heavy Industries.
Yuanying International Heavy Industries finally rejected Dr. Dam's rough design of the robot's appearance, and a professional art team remodeled Xiaoyu's packaging.
The original long, tapered head was replaced with a human face.
At first, the uncanny valley effect really distressed the art team, and the more the machine behaved like a human, the stronger the sense of physical rejection became.
Even if the facial expression data is constantly imported to enrich the facial expressions of the robot, the hollowness in the eyes and the stiffness of the details will still make people feel similar to the fear of looking at the deceased.
But later, it was solved by an undergraduate student from Huaguo Fine Arts.
"It will make people uncomfortable to look too much like people, so why don't you just not be a person?"
Who says you have to be human to be beautiful?
For example, virtual idols that have been hyped for many years, Hatsune Miku, Luo Tianyi...... Don't you also have a huge number of fans on the Internet?
The problem is solved.
The art team, who suddenly woke up, immediately overturned and redid the original designed face shape, and adopted the two-dimensional character modeling style, turning the characters that existed in the fantasy world into three-dimensional.
There are 8 basic expressions and 64 derived expressions adjusted according to emotional parameters, which completely explodes the original cumbersome 142 expression difference designs.
Xiaoyu's official image is set as: an 18-year-old girl in a maid's skirt, and a blonde boy in a deacon uniform.
Gender, hair color, eye color, bust circumference, personality, and clothing can all be customized according to the user's preferences, and of course, the robot with a custom appearance will have to add money.
If you want your girlfriend to look different from others, most people are still willing to pay this money.
What the? You ask me if the word "girlfriend" is used in the wrong place?
Not to mention, after many people bought Xiaoyu home, they really regarded it as their girlfriend.
The AI produced by Source Technology is powerful in addition to the name, just like there are still many people who regard the baby as their pet, and many people fall in love with this goddess who came out of the fantasy world at first sight.
Although the price of $10,000 is not very affordable, it is unexpected and has created a sales miracle in the Asian market!
Especially into . The sales of the human version of Xiaoyu have completely exploded the all-age model designed for families.
Although it only adds a "special inverted mold" and a special "emotion sensor", as well as 18 special actions and expressions specially designed for certain things.
On the black market, it was speculated to a sky-high price of up to $20,000!
This situation also made Xu Yuan unexpected.
I can afford 20,000 US dollars, so why not find a girlfriend! It won't cost more than 20,000 yuan to soak a girl!
It wasn't until later that he found out that it was not only single dogs who had no money to get married, but also some people who were not bad at money but had special hobbies were also buying this thing.
Some require the height to be as short as possible, and some require the bust to be made of G.
Some even bought ten in one go, and went back to the whole harem.
The robot will never be jealous, unless the program says she should be jealous at this point.
Time magazine once again put Xu Yuan on the cover, and used witty English to add lines under his profile picture
"A Man Who Solved the Problem of 300,000 Singles in the World in a Month"
Seeing this title, I almost didn't distort Xu Yuan's nose.
If it weren't for the fact that the content of the report was quite pertinent, he would have almost sent agents to work.
At present, 200,000 units of Xiaoyu come out of the factory every month, of which 50,000 units are household and 150,000 units are Cheng. Humanoid.
Originally, the two produced 100,000 units each, but there was no way. The humanoid sold so well that Yuanying International Heavy Industries did not hesitate to cut the production line of the household type.
Then the production capacity was allocated to the . The production of the human form goes up.
For this reason, Dr. Dahm complained to Xu Yuan.
His epoch-making masterpiece was turned into a love toy, which is simply an insult to knowledge!
However, he stopped talking after complaining for a month, and honestly studied the improved version of "Xiaoyu".
The $50 million dividend almost didn't freak him out.
Although he has a good reputation in the international robotics academic community, he has never been so rich.
Unlike Time, however, London is not happy.
When Xiaoyu landed on the market as soon as they entered the market, they analyzed the possibility of using this "highly intelligent" robot on the battlefield.
Although Xiaoyu does not currently recognize firearms, and the program prohibits her from doing things that could harm humans, that doesn't mean she doesn't have the space to weaponize them.
The conclusions reached by relevant analysts are also very striking.
If this robot is put on the battlefield, the ground combat ability of the Berry Country will have to increase by 10%, to say the least.
The most important thing is that these soldiers do not need to be paid, and if they die in battle, they do not need to be paid any pensions and funerals.
Troublesomely, however, the robot's main control chip incorporates similar protections to the Phantom Helmet.
Brute force disassembly triggers an instantaneous discharge of the high-energy capacitor of the protection circuit, burning the chip's critical components.
As for the more critical AI program, technicians from various countries can't even touch the door.
The reverse engineering progressed slowly, and the White House had to send an email to the mailbox of Source Shadow International Group.
"The fire defense company wants to cooperate with us in the field of robotics and military industry. They offered a price of $1 billion to buy our technology about 'Xiaoyu', and Huaguo Heavy Industries also made a similar proposal to us, hoping to win a robot cooperation project with us before the fire defense company. ”
Standing in Xu Yuan's office, Nie Shuying reported.
