Chapter 526 Fines and a substance called fullerenes!
As the world's first robot product with complete functions, Star Wings has brought great shock to the world from the moment it was sold publicly.
Everyone was shocked. Xiaoyi's wisdom was equivalent to that of a child in elementary school, and he was the most well-behaved, sensible and obedient. His cute voice and expressions and the potential of a jokester made everyone fascinated. Even the stubborn conservatives who oppose robots would be hard to hate such a kind little guy.
These are not the most powerful things about Xiaoyi. The robot is the most powerful craftsman known to humans. It is a perfect combination of strength and skills. It can easily lift 500 kilograms of objects, and it can dance on thin silk like a butterfly like a butterfly.
Robots are not geniuses and need to be learned, but their learning speed is really incredible. Any skills you only need to teach them once, and you will remember them completely and copy them perfectly over and over again.
It is no exaggeration to say that Luo Jia has made robots enter the service field, which is really useless. The strongest ability of robots is actually in industrial production. Every robot is a super craftsman who stays asleep for 24 hours. Once it enters the industrial assembly line, it will inevitably sweep away all opponents.
In short, the emergence of robots has made the whole world crazy, causing a huge sensation, and also pushed all countries outside China to the brink of unprecedented crisis.
...
"The act of intentional demolishing the robot by humans will be regarded as a serious breach of contract and fined $30 million. StarChen Technology reserves the right to further pursue legal liability."
Director Hiroji Ikeda, a subsidiary of Honda Co., Ltd., was frowning slightly at the moment, reading the rights and responsibilities in the robot instruction manual, and then said to the chief engineer Morizuru, who was beside him, "It would be fine if we can dismantle Star's wings. If we don't find them, we will have to pay Xingchen Technology a lot of money. 30 million US dollars is really expensive."
Morizuru sighed and nodded and said, "Yes, Xingchen Technology is clearly damaging us, because we have no other choice, we must dismantle the robot. If we don't dismantle the Star Wings and figure out the secret, we will be further away by Xingchen Technology. That is something that the company and even the entire Neon Light cannot bear."
“Whether it is fined three million dollars to dismantle a robot or three million dollars, we have to study the technology behind it.”
Hiroji Ikeda spread his arms and said, "Just you said, we have no choice but to pay liquidated damages to study. Moreover, Toyota, Panasonic, Sony, Sanyo, Komatsu, Sumitomo, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Fanako, Yaskawa, all the big-hand companies, plus universities led by the University of Tokyo and state-owned research institutes, all have to study China's robots. If one is not enough, we even have to dismantle two or three to add all these liquidated damages together. Just Neon, we have to pay at least several billion US dollars to Xingchen Technology."
"Not to mention the wealthy North America, our old rivals South Korea, Europe, Germany and France. In short, dismantling and researching robots cost much more than anyone imagined. After all, robots symbolize the ultimate power of the human world and are infinitely productive. No one will miss the opportunity to catch up with robot technology."
"Luo Jia, the boss of Xingchen Technology, is definitely not a good person. I have a feeling that he is probably sitting in his office at this moment, staring at us with a wicked smile on his face."
Speaking of this, the two people's faces showed a flies-like expression on their faces. Things in this world are sometimes so interesting. Even if you know there is a pit in front of you, you still have to jump down.
The rest time was almost over. Hiroji Ikeda and Yuki Morizumi left the lounge and returned to the research center. They saw that the researchers had opened the front chest deck of the Star's wings. The complex mechanical structure and dense circuits were simply dizzy.
"So complicated? Can we still recover after we disassemble it?"
"It's so bad that Xingchen Technology's factory uses a large number of high-precision robotic arms. We don't have similar precision tools. Even if we barely assemble it back, the performance will be greatly reduced."
Alas ~
Koji Ikeda felt particularly discouraged. As one of the most powerful companies in Neon, the gap between Honda and Star Technology was widened to such a point. After dismantling the wings of Star, they could not completely recover. It was really embarrassing.
...
Star Technology Administration, high-level regular meeting.
"King Apudula University?" Luo Jia asked with confusion: "Are you sure? The one who dismantled the most is not the major laboratories in North America, nor is it a company like Google or Apple that is rich and powerful, but what kind of King's University?"
Li Moran shrugged, "I'm pretty sure that based on the feedback I've received so far, King Apudula University has dismantled twenty sets of star wings in just this week and paid us a penalty of $600 million for this."
Cao Yuan smiled and said, "I happened to have a senior brother working there. He told me that because our Carmen vortex power generation array solved the energy problem, oil prices in the global futures market plummeted, and the big dogs are now on the verge of bankruptcy."
"It's better to say that they are tyrannical. In the past, King Apudula University relied on its wealth and recruited a group of talents, but talents went for money. Once the school was out of money, everyone would leave. Instead of sitting there, it would be better to concentrate the last force and attack our robotics technology. If there is a breakthrough, it may be able to survive in the future. Otherwise, according to the current oil price, they will soon return to the desert to release camels."
Luo Jia didn't say anything. If he was afraid of being stolen by others, he would not put the robot abroad. Facing the behemoth of the West, it would be unrealistic to knock it down in a short time. Therefore, Luo Jia was very thief and used all possibilities to slowly weaken the power of the Western world.
Before robots, the West had tried to crack the Carmen vortex power generation array. At that time, hundreds of imitation devices were built around the world, which consumed huge manpower and financial resources. We wanted to understand the principles of Carmen vortex power generation technology.
Of course, the result was a huge loss. The key to Carmen vortex street technology is not the principle, but the materials and algorithms. There is no high-strength skeleton material and no complex mathematical algorithms. Even if the array is imitated in a one-to-one ratio, it will collapse when it runs. I heard that France and North America have also caused a life lawsuit because of imitating power generation arrays.
Luo Jia’s current strategy is very simple. He can easily crack it in the West. Anyway, the core of technology comes from the golden dome. With the current technology level of the earth, there is almost no possibility of cracking it. Instead, it will cost a lot of money and waste a lot of scientists’ lives.
If the West focuses on catching up and cracking Star Technology, it will have no time to develop new technologies and research new achievements. This is the prisoner's dilemma of technology followers.
"It's better to follow our established strategy and popularize robots step by step. As for the West to crack, let them crack them. I like to see them hit the wall and hit their heads and bleed." Luo Jia finally set the tone and said: "And the happier they are in the dismantling, the more liquidated damages we receive. Instead of selling robots for money, I prefer this state, 30 million US dollars per unit, no bargaining, no buy, no need to buy, if it is broken, we don't need a warranty."
Hahaha~
Everyone in the conference room chuckled. Luo Jia's words were really domineering. He liked to dismantle or not, and liked to buy or not. He seemed to be bullying customers in the store. Thinking back to the beginning, Huaxia, as a follower in the technology field, suffered a lot, but now it is finally the Western turn.
"It's still early, everyone has other things to discuss?" Luo Jia said with a look at the time.
An Ran shook his head and said that there are no special circumstances in the hardware department at present. The three major projects are being steadily advanced, but it will take time.
Although Li Moran's software department has no new projects, the work is still not easy. After all, the Space Station Zero and Space Elevator are both giant-level super projects, and there are too many control software that needs to be written.
Cao Yuan and Shen Lang also said there was nothing to report. Luo Jia was planning to announce the end of the meeting. At this time, the Wen brothers looked at each other. The eldest brother Wen Chengling stood up and frowned and said, "It was just a matter of catching up on the wind and shadows. There was no real evidence. It should not be discussed at the Administration Bureau meeting. But our brothers discussed it and thought it was important, so it would be better to report to the company."
oh?
Hearing these words, everyone immediately cheered up. The Life Science Department managed by the Wen brothers has an extremely mysterious and special position in the company. I don’t know what it is about to make a fuss?
After swallowing and spitting, Wen Chengling said, "Last night, I received an anonymous letter."
anonymous letter?
Everyone showed incredible expressions on their faces.
An Ran frowned and said, "Did you bypass the company's firewall and send it to your private mailbox?"
Li Moran waved his hand quickly next to him, "It is unlikely that if it were anonymous suspicious emails, our firewall would have intercepted them as soon as possible."
Just when everyone was wondering how the anonymous letter entered Wen Chengling's mailbox, he reached out to take out a yellow kraft envelope in his shirt pocket.
"Handwritten letters!" An Ran showed a sudden enlightenment expression and grabbed his head with his hands. "The last time I received such a letter was when the school sent me an admission notice. Now in this era, there are actually people sending letters through the post office."
Wen Chengling calmly handed the letter to Cao Yuan beside him and let everyone circulate it. After wandering around the desk, the letter finally arrived in Luo Jia's hand. He looked at the postmark on it, North America, Alaska.
The envelope had been opened by the Wen brothers and pinched it with their hands. It was very thin and there was only one piece of letter paper inside.
"Who sent this letter and what was written?" Luo Jia did not read it. He put down the envelope and asked the Wen brothers directly.
"The letter is signed by John, and it should be a pseudonym." Wen Chengling said: "As for the content of the letter, it is to remind us that Lengquan Harbor Laboratory has found a life code that is completely different from us, code name C60, which is the existence known as the most perfect structure in the world, fullerene."
