Chapter 274: I'll Regret It in the End

"Mr. Gerry, you must give me an account of this." In the office of the head of the security building, Oakes looked at the chief technology officer of Boston Dynamics in front of him with an angry face, trying his best to restrain his mood at the moment.

Throwing this sentence coldly, he stood up from his chair, his hands propped on the table and leaned over slightly.

The whole person looked like a beast, and he wanted to swallow Gerry alive.

Gerry apparently didn't know what was going on yet.

After helping the security building determine the door frame robot incident, he is preparing to return to the company to try to make a similar military robot based on the special structure of the door frame robot.

As a result, before he could get on the plane, he was brought back by the people in the security building in a rough way.

Not to mention that Oakes was in a very unhappy mood, he was also annoyed.

He didn't know what had just happened on the Internet, and he was treated like this when he helped the security building solve a problem.

Coupled with the special status he has, he naturally doesn't need to worry about anything if he doesn't violate the rules.

There is no need to look at Oakes's face.

Even if the other party looks like an angry male lion now.

Even if he is physically restrained, he will have the best lawyer to defend him and come out unharmed.

Therefore, in words he did not save face for Ochs.

Anyway, it was Oakes who tore his face first.

"Chief Oakes, you should have said something wrong, aren't you the one who should apologize?"

"Your people delayed my flight."

"You have to give me an explanation for this, or I'll ask a lawyer to charge you."

Oakes swallowed his anger and listened to this sentence, and it can be said that his impression of Gerry was extremely bad.

Of course, he won't argue with Gerry in this case, and verbal attacks are a waste of time.

He took a deep breath again and sat down, his tone slowing down.

Raising his gaze and looking at Gerry, he said, "What I want to tell you is that your analysis of the DeepTech Door Frame Robot is completely wrong, not only has the other party developed this kind of robot a long time ago, but it has been mass-produced for a long time. Probably because I didn't want to believe it in my heart, I paused a few times in the middle of speaking.

Gerry was stunned when he heard this, but soon became emotional.

He shouted in a tone of great affirmation: "What are you kidding, I said that it is impossible for Deepin Technology to make that kind of doorframe robot. ”

If just now he was just angry at the rough way of the personnel in the security building, then this moment is enough to describe it in two words: rage.

The discussion meeting just started yesterday, and a number of experts and professors in the field of robotics have already confirmed this matter.

That is, Deepin Technology does not manufacture outframe robots.

Originally, the matter was over, but now he somehow brought it over and overturned yesterday's result.

What does that mean?

Questioning his level and judgment?

It's an insult to dignity.

And his denunciation is obviously not over yet, as soon as the previous sentence is finished, the back is connected.

"Chief Oakes, if you don't trust my judgment, then there's no need to invite me."

"Not even the deliberate look you did yesterday."

"If Deepin Technology can really make that kind of robot, I can leave Boston Dynamics from now on."

Oakes didn't stop Gerry from continuing, but he shook his head frequently.

When he found an opportunity, he interjected: "It's hard for you to believe it, but that's the way it is." ”

"You'd better calm down and take a look."

After speaking, he waved his hand and signaled to the staff next to him.

Seeing this, the staff did not delay, and immediately took out a tablet and handed it to the grid.

"What should I see?"

Gerry was still a little wary at the moment, but after a little hesitation, he reached out and closed the computer, and lowered his eyes to take a closer look at the contents.

This is a video that is only a few minutes long.

But the picture is full of power and indescribable beauty.

Several door frame robots with a silver gray coating of more than two meters high are fighting on complex terrain, making people feel like sitting in a movie theater watching a sci-fi blockbuster.

Although Gerry's area of expertise is robotics research, he can tell that this is a real shot.

It's not the so-called special effects of film and television.

Previously, he believed in his own judgment that Oakes was deliberately questioning his level.

But after seeing this video, he realized how wrong he was.

The anger generated just now instantly subsided, not to mention, the whole person seemed to have suffered a relatively big blow.

Unconsciously took a few steps back, repeating a whisper in his mouth.

"How is this possible?"

"It's the same performance as in the movie, and the current level of technology can't be made at all."

"I don't believe it."

As the CTO of Boston Dynamics, he has been researching robotics for more than a decade.

It can be said that he personally created the upgrade of Boston robots.

It has become the world's top robotics research company and stands at the forefront of the world.

But he firmly believes that the robots that cannot be made are military products that people have long had, which is indeed a great irony that makes it difficult for him to accept.

It's as if all his theories of knowledge don't exist.

Oakes noticed the change in Gerry's expression, and his mood gradually calmed down under the sad atmosphere.

Then he said with a sense of loss: "According to the news coming out there, this special robot was completed by Xu Yun alone. ”

Gerry's mood was in a slump, but hearing Oakes's words was like a sudden hormone injection, and he instantly became energetic again.

"A project done alone?"

"Doesn't he have a team to work with?"

opened his mouth and came a second question.

No one knows better than him the technology needed to develop such a robot, and it can be said that it is extremely difficult.

Originally, he thought that Xu Yun could make a door frame robot, which was already a miracle in the field of robotics, and there must be a very strong research team behind it.

But Oakes' explanation shook him again.

Who would have imagined that a scientific researcher would develop such a module robot with extremely high precision performance on his own.

"At the moment we don't find him with a project team." Oakes spread his hands and said helplessly.

At this point in the exchange between the two men, Gerry stopped talking.

Even Oakes fell silent.

Because although I don't want to see this happen, the fact is that the fact cannot be changed.

The next thing they need to do is to develop a response plan that will remove as much of the impact as possible on them and on the world.

The entire office was silent for more than ten seconds, and I saw a blonde girl staff member next to me who was a little impatient and couldn't help but raise her own questions about this matter.

"Sir."

"Could this be deliberately made by the other party for us to see, just to make us believe in the existence of the door frame robot."

After saying that, she turned her eyes to Gerry and asked, "Professor Gerry, can the robot in the video be faked?" ”

"As much as I hate to admit it, the content in the video is absolutely true."

Gerry shook his head and replied.

No matter the texture or unrivaled strength of the several door frame robots in the video, they are not just some props that can be impersonated.

Only when this kind of door frame robot is truly manufactured can it bring such a picture of visual enjoyment.

As Gerry's words fell, Oakes was no longer silent, and looked up at his subordinates to add some new information.

"This video was officially released over there, and there is an interview with Professor Xu later."

"The other party did develop a doorframe robot, and the props in the movie were created based on this."

After speaking, his body seemed to be a deflated ball, and he sat on the chair a little lonely.

Looking back on the fact that since I became the person in charge of this security building, no one in the world dared to mess with it, so all the work went very smoothly and without encountering difficulties.

As a result, he didn't expect a young man from Jingzhou University to instantly increase the difficulty of his work several times.

At first, when he saw Xu Yun solving the world's mathematical problems and participating in the World Mathematics Prize Conference to win the Fields Medal, he didn't pay attention to it except for a little emotion about the other party's talent.

After all, no matter how good theoretical mathematics research is, it is difficult to really apply it technically in a short period of time.

So their position will not be shaken.

As a result, this stability did not last long before it was completely broken.

Because Xu Yun moved from theoretical mathematics to the field of materials.

The lidar and solid-state batteries that have been developed successively have had a huge impact on related companies and enterprises in their regions.

Crucially, the previous technical bans on both of these have also disappeared.

In particular, the metal all-solid-state battery that has promoted the battery revolution has caused the market to shrink by a fraction of a star.

Now he has made a doorframe robot, obviously secretly competing with them to catch up quickly.

The most important thing is that compared with lidar and solid-state batteries, the impact is still more on the industry market.

It's a commercial aspect.

But the door frame robot is completely different, this is a serious military weapon product.

It has a super combat level.

Seeing that her guess was rejected by both of them at the same time, the blonde female staff was not discouraged.

Instead, his eyes were still focused on Gerry and he asked again, "Is Professor Gerry's robot very powerful?" ”

"Of course."

Gerry first affirmed, and then elaborated on his own perception.

"The combat effectiveness that these robots can exert is amazing, except for being able to adapt to various terrains, whether it is frontal combat or sneak attack on ordinary soldiers, there is no advantage at all."

"In addition, DeepinTech's research in the field of artificial intelligence has also been among the top in the world, especially the artificial intelligence models they develop are clumsy and have an amazing iterative update speed."

"If the two are combined, I am afraid they will have the strongest individual combat capability in the world."

At this point, Gerry himself was secretly frightened, unknowingly that a young man had grown to such an extent.

It's a big problem.

I'm afraid that after the door frame robot comes out, most of the forces in the world don't want Xu Yun to continue to exist.

The main thing is that this potential is terrible.

With a few years to conquer many cutting-edge technologies, what will happen in 10 or even 20 years?

I can't even think about it.

You must know that Xu Yun is not yet thirty years old, and according to the normal human lifespan, he can live for at least fifty or sixty years.

I am afraid that the pattern of human civilization will have changed by then.

Of course, this is not the time to think about this, and how to solve the current impact is the key.

After all, as they are recognized as the strongest country in the world, such a threatening combat robot suddenly appears, no matter what, they must have something to say and show an attitude.

The subordinate apparently thought of this as well, and took the initiative to ask, "What are we going to do next, sir?" ”

Oakes, who only felt the pressure, leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling, secretly thinking about how the security building would respond.

Accusing the other side of the research on weapons to affect the peace of mankind will not do anything but embarrass oneself.

And just as he was thinking about this, Gerry changed his attitude before meeting him and became more relaxed and polite.

A slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Chief Oakes, I apologize to you for what happened just now, it is indeed my misjudgment of Xu Yun's strength. ”

"Now is not the time to hold accountable, and that's none of your business."

Oakes replied with a wave of his hand at Gerry's words.

After all, it happened so quickly, which no one expected, and the key is that he has no reason to be held accountable.

Gerry smiled even more when he heard this, and even offered to leave.

"Chief Oakes."

"I don't think there's any need for me to participate in the next thing, and I plan to return to the company as soon as possible."

"Strive to persuade the boss to try to cooperate with Deepin Technology to research more advanced robots."

Gerry is not a person who can't withstand the blow, and if he can't adjust his state quickly, how can he bear every research failure.

Although he did not recognize Xu Yun's strength in the field of robotics before, after he really saw Xu Yun's independent research and development of the door frame robot, this mind immediately became active.

For him, researching advanced robots is the goal of life, and now there is an opportunity to achieve the goal quickly, and how can he watch it be missed.

Boston Dynamics is a globally recognized authority on robots, and if it can cooperate with Deepin Technology and communicate with each other, then I believe that the research and development level of robots will be greatly improved.

It may be possible to develop a bionic robot that is truly close to a human.

Oakes was obviously also shocked by Gerry's thoughts, and couldn't help but raise his gaze and look at it carefully.

Then he solemnly reminded: "Professor Gerry should understand that Deepin Technology will not cooperate with overseas companies to share technology. ”

"It doesn't matter, I can go to Deepin Technology." Gerry replied without even thinking about it.

The tone of his voice seemed very light-hearted, indicating that he had indeed considered the issue in his mind.

In the face of this answer, Oakes was also angry, slapped his palm on the table next to him, and forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "I will send someone to send Professor Gerry back to the airport, today's incident has delayed your time." ”

"Thank you so much." Gerry said with excitement on his face.

The words fell, and before Oakes could respond, he turned and left, for fear of staying here for a second longer.

In any case, he is just a technician of a robotics company, and from his point of view, the technological breakthrough in the field of robotics is something worth celebrating.

As for the others, they don't have a headache and don't care about him.

If it weren't for the company's efforts to take care of the security building's face, to be honest, he wouldn't want to make this trip.

Oakes looked at Gerry's back and didn't withdraw his gaze until it was completely out of view.

His face quickly turned cold, and he turned his head and explained to the subordinates beside him: "Staring at Professor Gerry during this time, you must not let him run to Deepin Technology." ”

"Yes, sir, I'll arrange it." The female subordinate immediately replied.

Deepin Technology is already very powerful now relying on Xu Yun, and if Gerry, an authoritative expert, is also allowed to pass, he may be able to research how powerful robots will be developed to increase his workload.

Therefore, no matter what aspect is considered, it is impossible for Gerry to join Deepin Technology.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more passive, the sudden ringing of the bell in the office diverted Oakes's attention.

He didn't dare to hesitate about this, and immediately walked over to pick it up.

I don't know who said anything on the other side of the phone, in short, his eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and the whole person is a lot more relaxed.

After about a few minutes, I saw Oakes hang up the phone and whisper softly:

"Since we are unfortunately lagging behind in the field of robotics, let's get back the lost face in the semiconductor market."

……

……

Just when the door frame robot project was announced, netizens were immersed in this great joy and pride, and the next day, many overseas semiconductor companies such as Qualcomm issued a document that would strictly restrict the sales of high-end chips.

To sum up, if you want to buy their chips, you need to sign a number of agreements involving company data.

Otherwise, it will not be possible to procure high-end chips.

To sum it up simply, it is the overlord clause.

The sudden appearance of this kind of thing is self-evident for what it is aimed at.

The limitations of high-end lithography machine photoresist and EDA software have basically eliminated the possibility of self-development and self-production of high-end chips, and now even those who want to purchase other people's chips have to be completely passive.

In the semiconductor market, it can be said that there is no right to speak.

Since this regulation will be officially implemented in the next quarter, the news has also worried many mobile phone users and manufacturers.

After all, if you don't sign an agreement, you can't purchase high-end chips, and the final result is to lose the competitiveness of the new flagship machine.

But if you sign it, it will be too aggrieved and lose your reputation.

In the face of this situation, many manufacturers have urgently convened a meeting to decide on the response plan to this matter.

At the same time, the topic of discussion on the Internet has also extended from the door frame robot to this sudden incident, and everyone can be said to be angry and indignant.

Except for a small number of people who are worried, most netizens have a tough attitude towards the enemy.

Thinking that the domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machine will be delivered this year, it will be possible to build its own high-end chips at that time, and there is no need to look at other people's attitudes and whisper.

"It's really cautious enough, seeing that the door frame robot we developed is so powerful, we engage in this method to disgust people."

"Isn't there a new flagship in the future?"

"I'm afraid that except for Huawei, which has no chips, other manufacturers will sign agreements with soft."

"What's there to be afraid of, anyway, when the time comes, they will lose the order."

"Don't forget, Professor Xu said that our extreme ultraviolet lithography machine will be officially launched and delivered this year, and there will be no need to purchase Kirin chips when they return."

"I'm putting my words here today, and they will definitely regret it."

"What if we don't develop an EUV lithography machine, I mean, what if that happens?"

"I believe that Professor Xu is, even this kind of robot in the movie can be developed, and the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is still hairy!"

……

"I didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so fast, but netizens trust you very much."

On the car heading to the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences, Li Tingbo slid the screen of his mobile phone and said to Xu Yun beside him with a smile.

After the official announcement of the door frame robot project after the exercise, Xu Yun did not immediately return to Jingzhou City or go to the Jincheng Research Institute, because Hou Shengchang, president of the Academy of Sciences, wanted to meet him, and some things about the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project needed a brief report, so he stayed in the imperial capital for a few more days.

Because Li Tingbo happened to have nothing important, he sent Buddha to the West to accompany him to the Academy of Sciences.

There are artificial intelligence stupid, and they naturally know what happened overseas for the first time on the way.

To be honest, Xu Yun is not surprised by this result, but no matter how you look at this method, it feels like a dog jumping off the wall, and it can't have any desired effect at all.

"They can only make a fuss in the field of semiconductors, but unfortunately this article will not last long."

Xu Yun turned his head sideways, smiled at the corner of his mouth and communicated with Li Tingbo, confident as if he didn't take this matter to heart.

Li Tingbo and Xu Yun have been in contact for so long, and they have long known that Xu Yun never does things that he is not sure of, so he is extremely relieved to hear this.

And then Li Tingbo handed over his mobile phone, pointed to the content on it and joked: "Also, this is the latest honor list just announced by the Security Building, you are ranked first, higher than many academicians in the academy." ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to go to a lot of places outside now."

Xu Yun knew that Li Tingbo was talking about the restricted list, and the people on the list were all professors and academicians who had major research achievements in a certain field.

As long as you enter the list, you will not be allowed to enter the country, etc., which is the so-called "you can't leave the country" if you want to.

Because the list represents the gold content in the field of scientific research, it will be jokingly called the honor list by the Academy of Sciences.

Apparently this time he made the jamband robot, which made the enemy more and more fearful.

But since the last time he attended the mathematicians' conference, he had no idea of going out again.

So whether or not he is on the list has no effect on him.

The thought stayed here, and he immediately said to Li Tingbo: "If possible, I would like to stay in Jingzhou City all the time and immerse myself in my own research." ”

After speaking, a sincere smile appeared on his face.

"They probably knew you would do this, so they put you at the top of the list to make a show to the outside world." Li Tingbo took over the conversation and responded.

After all, if Xu Yun had the idea of going out to develop, it would be absolutely impossible for the name to be on the list.

With the chatter between the two of them, the car drove quickly on the road of the imperial capital, and it took almost half an hour to reach the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences.
