"Where's the money?!" The proprietress accentuated her tone.

Derui looked at Cui Hao's expression with bad intentions, Cui Hao showed an embarrassed and flattering smile, rubbed his hands, and replied stubbornly: "Boss, there is really no cash, can you pay for it?" Seeing that the proprietress wrench was about to fall down, he quickly changed his words, "Mortgage!" I mean mortgages! Look at this, my fine mechanical gloves! Hiss ......"

He gasped in pain, but he still stubbornly continued, but turned his head away, as if he couldn't bear to look at it again: "This glove!" Third-order mods! Two forms of variation! Do you think that's enough? ”

The proprietress glanced at the dirty, old glove with disdain: "That's it? It is worth up to 500 coins. Don't think about it, the watch in your hand sells well, barely enough for 10,000 coins. ”

Cui Hao's eyes widened: "500 coins? I have 1,000 coins every week for online mining! Of course, he didn't dare to be so rigid in front of the boss, the boss lady hated the price of others with him the most, anyone who dared to question the price of the boss lady, was fortunate to get a permanent 11% off "coupon". According to the grapevine, the proprietress had poor calculation skills in her early years and was deceived several times, so she learned from the pain and stumbled on accounting and economics, so she had her later achievements. But in addition to the overbearing pricing and the fact that she doesn't like to bargain, the boss's vision and pricing level are absolutely first-class, and she even has a side job to help people do appraisals.

On second thought, this watch is actually worth 10,000 coins? Is this Rolex or Omega? The institute is so generous this time? I also found a treasure this time. If you mortgage it, you will drool just thinking about it. It's just that if you think about it, Cui Hao won't lose his mind to pour down the things that sell Dan, and occasionally quietly use them for private purposes.

Seeing that the topic was slow to progress, Dre was also a little annoyed, but he still started the copy personality, but set it up in advance, telling it not to mess with the boss lady. "Don't worry, I'm not Cui Hao's little fool, this boss lady is not easy to mess with at first glance. Persimmons have to be pinched softly! Dre listened to what he said, of course, the two were communicating with each other, but he frowned: What are you doing? What about the strength that is said to be good? How can it just bully the weak and fear the hard?

So as soon as Copy Derui came on the field, he began to angrily spray Cui Hao: "Cui Hao! Are you still human? Keep saying that you want me to learn martial arts, why are you so groveling? I knew that you were not a good master, but I didn't expect that you couldn't even be a bad person, just a debtor who owes money and doesn't pay it. Phew, I look down on you the most, I can't even get some money, you just find those gamblers outside the door to get together! Paying off debts is a matter of course! After scolding, he flattered the proprietress flatteringly, "Boss, you said yes, right?" ”

The proprietress sneered and looked at it curiously: "What is this?" AI？ No, what's so funny, it's your friend on the phone? ”

Cui Hao's grievance: "What do you say?" It's AI, Fontaine's new product, it's just my uncle. It's this kid who said that he wanted to come to the mechanical department to modify it, otherwise where would I have the courage to come to this Longtan tiger's den? After speaking, he glared at his watch.

Dre was just playing dumb.

“AI？ Do you want to get an external device? Or do you want to learn mechanical technology? The proprietress thought for a moment, turned around and walked inside, "Forget it, come with me first, let's go to my studio, the iron is half-beaten." ”

Walking into the deep tunnel, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, only the sound of tinkling and thrashing came from the end, and after a while, a few points of light floated through the tunnel.

Dre used infrared light to see the real thing, it was three small robot pets, one was a bird-shaped robot, with iron wings, steel beak, and pitch black like a crow. One is a mechanical dog, a thin hound, very delicate, with mechanical parts and gear chains to imitate the dog's body structure, but there is no shell, it looks like the bones and muscles are generously exposed, there is no beauty. There is another one, which is a robot assistant that looks like an octopus, similar to the standard model on the market, four round balls are put together to make a foot, a big sphere is used as a head, and the camera on the head is like a big one-eyed, which looks a little cute.

"Sissy! Come and hug one! The proprietress happily stretched out her arm to pick up the octopus robot, the mechanical crow stopped on her shoulder, and the mechanical dog rubbed the girl's trouser leg and flicked its tail to lead the way. With these three little guys providing the light source, the passage is much clearer. It's very different from the underground tunnels at the research institute, where the equipment feels shabby, rugged, and a bit old-fashioned. The most obvious thing is that there are a large number of rubber pipes and cement pipes, which are introduced by the proprietress as the wires and sewer systems of the steel city, which can be said to be the main artery of the city.

The three of them just walked around and took a look, and the little robots opened the way in front of them. The proprietress occasionally chatted with Cui Hao about the topic of robot transformation, and Dre listened quietly.

"Your gloves are too old, and there are many third-order gloves on the market now, such as Snapdragon's new model this year, and it is still an unmodified third-order glove."

Cui Hao pouted: "The advertisement of a large company is the mouth of a scumbag, which sentence is not a sweet word that wins your heart?" If they don't sell a modified one or two times, I'll have their last name. Otherwise, how can you say that the success rate of modification has been getting lower and lower in the past two years? ”

"Hehe, you don't lose your surname with them. Don't talk about the ones on the market, let's talk about the internal ones of Fontaine, you can't do it anymore, which department is not all fourth-order starting equipment now? ”

Dre asked, "What do you mean by the third and fourth orders?" ”

The two replied in unison: "Check the 'rank system'!" ”

Dre choked back and kept silent: Can't you talk properly? Well, AI has no human rights. So I silently searched for the "rank system".

To put it simply,The rank system is a standard for judging the quality of the machinery used by AI,And it is a kind of high recognition in Shangcheng District,For AI,The most important evaluation of the machinery used is performance and function,One determines the upper limit of AI's operating speed in it,Just like running a 3A masterpiece also requires high-configuration hardware,And the other determines what actions AI can make,If a device does not have a camera,Then AI naturally can't take pictures,Video,Scan or "see"。 The rank is used to describe the function of this kind of machine, whether it is strong or not.

Naturally, the larger the volume of the device, the easier it is to have high performance, so this criterion is different for different volumes. Making the size of AI equipment smaller and smaller and the performance higher and higher is the ultimate pursuit of the standard of the rank system.

At present, most of the popular machinery on the market are below the 2nd level, such as stir-fry machines, dishwashers, sweepers, etc.

Because of this, the hierarchical system is not popular in Xiacheng, and the people in Xiacheng will pursue more software diversity than hardware performance and function, which is another field - the life of programmers. For them, as long as the device capacity is enough to hold their software, the computing speed is fast enough, and the AI is smart enough. Therefore, they do not use the rank system at all, but use another: the chip star system. It is the user who scores the program used, and the higher the evaluation and usage rate of the chip, the higher the star rating will be, and the greater the replication cost.

After a general understanding of the situation, Derui felt a little emotional, he is indeed a frog at the bottom of the well, and he has been away from campus for several years, and his vision and knowledge reserve are not very able to keep up with this ever-changing society. It also made him change some of his original plans.

On the other side, Cui Hao continued to talk to the proprietress about the focus of the trip: "In fact, Derui is Fontaine's test product this time, and they chose me as a tester, so of course I have to accept it." This guy seems to have higher authority than me.,Anyway, the requirement of the superior is to follow the advice of the AI as much as possible.,Absolutely! He said he wanted a body, preferably a flying machine or a humanoid machine, and I brought it to you. ”

"Are you sure you don't want to mix an exoskeleton for public or private use? There is no need to talk about humanoid aircraft, but the aircraft is not difficult, you see, Xiaoba! This is my new product, do you like it? The crow-shaped robot obediently turned back and stopped at the boss's hand.

Cui Hao nodded desperately, I want it, but I'm greedy, with this, I am racing on the streets at night, and there are crows patrolling in front of and behind me, it's so cool.

Although Dre despises his dog-licking appearance, to be honest, he is also quite greedy. Derui, who has only used second-order equipment in his life, can't resist the temptation of this kind of high-level machinery at first glance - I always thought that this kind of equipment could only be seen in movies. This trip to the Steel City really amazed him at the blacksmith's craftsmanship.

But at this time, he had something more concerned: "I want a flight device like this, and I also want to learn about retrofitting." ”

Both of them couldn't help but stop to look at it.

However, the proprietress thought for a while and agreed: "It's no problem if you want to learn transformation, originally I was also a mechanical transformation instructor specially hired by Fontaine." This can be taught to you for free, and of course, you have to work with me for a month as a day worker. But you have to pay for the flight equipment yourself, one yard to one yard. ”

Although she said that she wanted money, she looked at Cui Hao, the operator - obviously, after all, where did an AI get the money?

Cui Hao's face was embarrassed.

Dre sighed, he couldn't imagine that he would return to this situation after turning around, it was really a penny that was difficult for a hero.

However, the proprietress also had the following: "This time you are lucky, I am busy with a new project, you can all come and try your hand, if you are lucky, I will offset the cost for you." ”

At this time, they had already come to the boss's workshop, the ceiling was like bacon hung with mechanical arms and chains, the proprietress sat comfortably in the swivel chair, the swivel chair automatically raised, let her take a small hammer from the wall and throw it to Cui Hao. On the hammer, aluminum sheets were wrapped around the hammer like a mummy's shroud, and only the surface of the hammer showed a gold-like texture.

"To put it simply, it's iron, you take this hammer and hit it to see the iron ingot next to it. As for whether it will succeed or not, it depends on whether God rewards you for eating. As she said this, the blacksmith frowned, as if even she felt a little helpless.
