Chapter 44: The Tip (Part II)
Hearing this, Tang Yuan looked serious and said solemnly: "No, that's not the product of our research institute. ”
"To tell you the truth, this serial case we judge to be related to a mysterious criminal organization in the people, since you said that the crime machine is not from the cutting-edge, it is likely to come from there, and they also seem to have mastered the production technology of the creative machine. Although the cutting-edge technology is confidential, do you think there is a possibility that it will be leaked? ”
"You're saying that the manufacturing technology of the criminal syndicate was stolen from us?"
"Yes, do you think that's possible?"
"Excluding robot employees, we have more than 300 human employees in our cutting-edge headquarters, and a total of more than 5,000 human employees in all branches around the world, of which about 10% have mastered the core manufacturing technology of Chuangzhiji. The implication of Team Song's words is that some of the more than 500 people have accepted the benefits of the lawbreakers and leaked the confidential information. Your suspicions are reasonable, but I personally trust all my subordinates, and I don't want to believe that there are unrighteous people among my subordinates who are willing to be in the company of criminals. ”
"What if an employee comes to steal information as a commercial espionage?"
"Our industry is a sensitive industry in terms of patented technology, and we have always been very concerned about piracy. Therefore, all employees of the top will do a comprehensive and detailed background check before being hired, and no one will be hired even if there is even the slightest suspicion. For more information, please contact our HR Manager, Qi Tan. ”
"Well, so you don't think there's commercial espionage within the business. So, how do you think criminals obtained the core technology of Chuangzhiji? ”
"Well, let me think about it... Is there such a possibility?" Tang Yuan seemed to have an opinion.
"Please."
"First of all, you should understand that all robots, including the creative machine, have a certain lifespan. The average lifespan of our cutting-edge intelligence machines is about 80-100 years, which is exactly the same as the lifespan of humans. As an aside, this is something that our development team has done on purpose, because we hope that a TRON machine can accompany his master for the rest of his life, and finally die together without regrets. Tang Yuan raised his head and looked up at the sky in the distance through the glass window, as if he was pinning a kind of sublime.
"It's a beautiful vision, and the director has a heart." Song Shicong thought for a moment and then said, "I don't know what will be done after the creation of wisdom is scrapped at the end of its life?" ”
"It will be sent to the waste robot recycling plant for centralized processing, which is nothing more than dismantling and reassembly, that is, disassembling the recyclable parts of the robot, and then reassembling and processing them into other new mechanical instruments or electronic products."
"Are these recycling plants subsidiaries of Cutting-edge?"
"No, it's just a business cooperation, it's just a mutually beneficial relationship."
"I probably see what you mean, you mean that the criminal syndicate has set up a lot of work on the recycling plant."
"That's right, I think they may have illegally traded to buy those obsolete creative machines, and then rebuilt them with their own technology, and produced nondescript pirated creative machines."
"With all due respect, the Wisdom Machine was officially launched two years ago, and you said that the Wisdom Maker has a lifespan of more than 80 years, that is, under normal circumstances, it will take another 80 years before a large number of waste products will appear, so where did the criminal organization acquire the pirated Wisdom Machine? According to the clues we have, the number of intelligence machines owned by this organization is far more than just one or two. The criminal policeman's sense of smell made Song Shicong keenly suspicious.
Tang Yuan looked calm and continued: "Three years ago, in the bottleneck stage of research and development, we had built a lot of failed products, and these failed products were sent to the recycling plant without exception. ”
"You mean, the organization went and bought the failed ones three years ago and reinvented them? I don't know much about this, but with your expertise, do you know the specific transformation process? ”
"The process and means of transformation are not difficult to speculate. The scrapping of a Chuangzhi machine is nothing more than the serious and irreversible aging or damage of its macrocrystal, body parts and electrical wiring, while the body parts and electrical wiring are sold in today's mechanical care stores, AI manufacturing plants and our cutting-edge stores, and Hongjing is exclusively sold in cutting-edge specialty stores. Originally, the main purpose of these items was to repair minor damage to each Creator Machine, such as the damage caused during the battle in the Tournament of Kings. But theoretically, as long as you buy all the new macros, parts and wires, someone with a certain amount of relevant knowledge can rebuild a discarded Chuangzhi machine and turn it into his own pirated machine. ”
"I basically understand your reasoning. However, if this inference is based on this, a new contradiction arises. Since it started planning three years ago, why did the serial case only start in March this year? ”
"I don't know about that, it's your job to find out this."
"According to the commercial law, recycling plants are prohibited from selling used robots to individuals or private companies. According to you, there must be people in the recycling plant who are in collusion with criminals. ”
"In the end, these are just old speculations, and Team Song doesn't have to take it seriously." Tang Yuan said with a smile.
"Where, where, your speculation is generally reasonable and has a lot of reference value, and I will use it as an important basis for solving the case."
"Is there anything else the Song team wants to ask?"
"Not for the time being, Director Tang, if you have a job, you can go and work first, I'll wait here for my subordinates to come back."
"I'm not busy for the time being, let's wait with you."
"Yes, you can."
After about half an hour, all the officers who had dispersed the investigation returned. Shen Fei whispered the results of the investigation to him in Song Shicong's ear.
"Well, there seems nothing suspicious at first glance." Song Shicong put his chin on his chin with his fingers and thought for a while, and then said, "Wrap up." ”
"Team Song, you have worked hard." Tang Yuan smiled in respect.
"Director Tang, thank you for your cooperation today, thank you very much." Song Shicong shook hands with Tang Yuan and said.
"Police-community cooperation, as it should be." Tang Yuan turned to Ming Yinyu, "Yinyu, send the police comrades down." ”
"Okay."
After seeing Song Shicong lead the team away from the tip, the corners of Tang Yuan's mouth twitched slightly: "If you go deeper, it's not something you can control." ”
