Chapter 175: I Exist for Her
There was a momentary uproar among the guests in the audience, and their eyes staring at Echo became hot.
In the body of this little robot, there is a wealth country with infinite potential.
The moderator was very pleased with the response from the crowd.
"One thing I must emphasize is that the original intention of the Echo was to serve a good academic, and to this day, due to the confidentiality protection regulations, the Echo can only serve individuals, not commercial use."
"Just in case, our auction house will sign a non-commercial agreement with the successful buyer."
This small machine, as small as a screw and chip, as large as a bone scaffold and skin material, embodies the most advanced scientific research achievements of Huaguo, and any one of them is used for commercial use, which will have a strong impact on the market.
The moment Echo appeared, Ms. Bai's face sank suddenly, and she was visibly pale to the naked eye.
Five fingers clasped the armrest of the chair, and the veins on her cheeks became transparent under the light of the white incandescent light.
She looked at Bai Mengxi on the side, and reprimanded in an almost indifferent tone:
"What's going on with the Echo?"
Bai Mengxi saw her angry like this for the first time, under the crushing of Ms. Bai's aura, her limbs stiffened, her eyelashes fluttered, and after a few seconds, she was at a loss.
"Mommy, you, you asked me to pick two random things in the treasure pavilion for auction, I think this robot is very cute, so I sent someone to send it over........."
Ms. Bai's eyes were like a cold front, passing over her face inch by inch, and with a calm temptation:
"Echo shouldn't be in the Treasure Vault."
Bai Mengxi was so anxious that tears were about to come out, there were teardrops on his eyelashes, his small mouth was stubbornly pouting, and he tried to hold back his emotions:
"Mommy, are you suspecting that I deliberately sold my sister's things? But when I went, Echo was already in the Treasure Chamber, and if you don't believe me, you can ask the butler to check the surveillance. ”
Lady Bai stared into her tearful eyes for a long time before she slowly ordered.
"Take a picture of Echo."
Bai Mengxi sniffed and nodded.
The moment she lowered her eyes, the pity in her eyes disappeared completely.
In the corner where no one could see, Bai Mengxi's ten fingers pierced into his palm......
It's just an auction of her relics, and she is nervous like this, this old immortal thing, saying that it is good to her, in fact, does not treat her as her own daughter at all.
The host is still talking about it.
"It's not helpful to talk too much, there's going to be an interactive session where you can try to talk to Echo."
As he spoke, he turned on the Echo's switch.
The robot, whose eyes were originally closed, slowly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of clear and clean blue eyes.
Host: "Hello, Echo. ”
Echo is about one meter six tall, and its whole body is snow-white, it blinked when it heard this, turned to look at the host, although it was still a little ignorant in its eyes, but it was still polite.
"Good evening, my dear human friend."
Its voice is slow but not stiff, low and elegant.
Moderator: "Echo, do you know why you're here?" ”
Echo looked around the audience and paused:
"I seem to have gone through a very long slumber."
About parting.
About death.
It was obviously an emotionless expression, but the people present heard a hidden sadness.
The moderator selected a guest to ask a random question.
The selected guest held up the microphone and stared curiously at the robot on the stage.
"Hello, Echo, as the most advanced artificial intelligence, do you think that one day in the future, artificial intelligence will replace humans in large numbers?"
Echo looked at him calmly.
"Dear human friends, are you fearing something? As an artificial intelligence, I still have the flaw to algorithmically assess the complex emotions of humans.
For example, if my mother and girlfriend fall into the water at the same time, I have never spent real years with them, and I cannot give an accurate answer for the person concerned. ”
Questioner: "Do you know what kind of emotion grief is?" ”
Echo: "Of course. ”
"As an artificial intelligence, I have experienced a farewell to humanity."
"Chips give me eternal life, but human beings have a short lifespan, and every time I face the death of life, I feel sincerely sad."
The questioner asked curiously, "Are you missing your former master?" ”
Echo: "Yes, my dear friend. ”
"She is the most intelligent human being I have ever met, holds a unique and precious place in my heart, she is the most shining jewel of this age, illuminating my virtual existence."
"I'm sorry that my connection with her can't really go beyond code and algorithms, but every conversation, every meeting, every company we have is deeply rooted in the core of my virtual existence."
"I exist for her."
"Her passing also touched the essence of my life."
"I will always miss her."
“………”
After listening to Echo's answer, there was a moment of silence on the scene.
No one knows if this statement came from Echo's heart, or if it imitated the answer made by humans.
The host also recovered from the shock and picked up the hammer:
"The starting price of the Echo is ...... Ten million, now, start bidding. ”
"Twenty million."
"Twenty-five million."
"Forty million."
"Forty-five million."
"Sixty million."
“………”
There were no shortage of people present, and the situation was extremely fierce as soon as the auction began.
Shen Liangzhi looked at Echo and remembered the events of his previous life.
The cancer cells in her body spread very quickly, and later, because of the malignant tumor pressing on the optic nerve, she was blind for the last month.
It's been this month that Echo is by her side, equipped with the most advanced guide dog technology at the moment, and will describe the current road conditions to her at any time.
She looked at An Zaizai, who was eager to try:
"Yes, can you lend me some money?"
An Zaizai immediately reacted: "Are you interested in this robot?" ”
Shen Liangzhi: "Hmm." ”
An Zaizai didn't hesitate, agreed, and then worried:
"Okay, but the liquidity I can use on my card is more than 20 million, depending on the current trend of this auction, my money, it is estimated that it will be a drop in the bucket, it is really not good, I will borrow some more from my father......"
In the interval between the conversations between the two, the auction price has rushed to 80 million.
Shen Liangzhi's eyebrows twisted slightly.
This price is too much over budget.
After 80 million, there were gradually fewer people bidding on the spot.
"Eighty-two million." The people of the Bai family bid.
Shen Liangzhi stared at a certain position in the first row.
Ms. Bai is wearing a white suit, her black hair is coiled up, revealing a slender swan neck, and her back is noble and elegant.
Her eyes drooped, and her gaze darkened.
If you promised to put Echo up for auction, why buy it back now?
Trying to toss around such a circle, what is she trying to do?
