Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 1042 Every Thread of That Flag Is a Boundary
After the press conference, Zhou Rui had a brief chat with a group of special guests.

Compared with the "Bai Ze Big Model", it is obvious that the "bionic man" that combines artificial intelligence and mechanical intelligence is more powerful and has unlimited prospects. Crossing the times is its starting point, and it is far from the end.

However, the "bionic man" is too important and too cutting-edge, and even the bosses of these companies cannot understand how to apply it to the market.

It is conceivable that after today, people's perception and discussion of "technology" will have an additional dimension.

As for the "Bai Ze Big Model", Zhou Rui did not hide it. This thing itself requires a huge user base to train, and it is inevitable to put it on the market. Kuke is very enthusiastic about this and even determined to win it.

This is a perfect match for a smartphone! It seems that money is not a problem, as long as there is a price.

Of course, "Bai Ze" will not be exclusive, and even if it is exclusive, it will not be Apple's turn. Huawei and even other smart hardware manufacturers will also have the opportunity to obtain the blessing of "Bai Ze".

As for the most critical issue of lithium-sulfur batteries, Zhou Rui still passed the buck, saying that he could talk about it later.
After getting rid of the crowd's entanglement, when Zhou Rui was changing clothes backstage, Gan Yuan knocked on the door and walked in, showing him a video.

"Mr. Zhou, you might want to take a look at this."

On the tablet computer, there was a press conference on the other side of the ocean, a press conference that was more entertaining and more like a TV show than the one here.

Zhou Rui looked more and more serious, and even after a few minutes, his pupils dilated a little.
Gan Yuan also gradually became nervous and asked anxiously: "Boss Zhou, will this have a big impact on us?"

Logically speaking, a lunar exploration is not a big deal. Why is Mr. Zhou so serious?
Zhou Rui said in shock: "Has the aesthetics over there evolved to this level? What's up with this guy wearing a sequined high-slit dress!"

Your legs are thicker than his! What the hell are you wearing a high-cut dress!

My eyes are dirty!
Gan Yuan was stunned for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you were here because the technology there is so superior."

Zhou Rui returned the tablet to Gan Yuan and didn't want to hold it for even one more minute, for fear that the tablet would no longer be clean.

"To be honest, even if we discount the data released at the press conference by 20%, this is still the most advanced 'unmanned lunar probe' in the world, and is much more mature than the 'Chang'e 3' three years ago."

"Well, it's not bad compared to the Chang'e 4 currently being developed by the Space Agency. If you consider that they are also a 'return-type' lunar exploration, they can even be said to be ahead."

Gan Yuan was stunned: "Is it so powerful?"

Zhou Rui shook his head: "It depends on how you compare. If we limit it to the 'lunar landing exploration', it is naturally quite advanced. After all, there are too few people in the world who can do this. A project takes several years, and there are only a few things that can be compared."

"But if you compare it with the 'Moon Palace Project' that we are about to announce, it is nothing."

Zhou Rui remembered something and added:
"Also, if you compare it to the Apollo program 47 years ago, it's still nothing. Forty years ago, they were able to bring back 371.9 kilograms of lunar soil, which was almost half a ton. Now they can only bring back 1.6 kilograms. Back then, they could drive mountain bikes on it, but now they can only use a half-meter-high lunar exploration vehicle that travels at a speed of 5 meters per minute. Think about it."

Gan Yuan also felt more relaxed: "It's really a ridiculous decline. Why is the difference so big?"

Remembering that Han Ziyin and the others were waiting outside to set off together, Zhou Rui and Gan Yuan talked as they walked.

On the way, I happened to see "FS01" being packed into a special container: a huge metal box with anti-collision features.

Like the "learning machine" that has not yet been unveiled, it is a device with the "highest level of security". Once it leaves the venue, it will be under armed escort and supervision. Currently, the "Bai Ze Project Team" has only produced one, which is the result of the hard work of many engineers and is an extremely costly prototype.

However, at this time, the "skin" on FS01's face is gone, revealing its internal structure.

It is not a hard-core mechanical structure like the Terminator, because that would greatly increase the difficulty of fitting the "silicone skin". The face of "FS01" is made of a large number of bionic muscles, an electric polymer material. Although the color is blue instead of red, it is still somewhat creepy.

As for the face that is 80% similar to Zhou Rui, it has been put away. It may be used again in the short term, but will definitely be destroyed in the long term.

Originally, the "Bai Ze Project Team" hoped to create the first bionic robot with a "female" appearance, but Zhou Rui decided to make it a male considering the human brain's ability.

Don't underestimate the human drive for lust. Anything that can be lusted after will not be spared in their minds. This technology will eventually be misused, but at least there is no need for this in the early stages.

Of course, the female questioner just now sounded the alarm for Zhou Rui. It is clear that sex is not gender-specific.
Zhou Rui watched "FS01" leave, and then said:

“Back to the question you asked just now, why is there such a big difference?
"In fact, NASA has been restrained for decades, in large part because the tone was set too high back then. Let's put aside the question of whether the moon landing was real or not. We can say that even if we assume it was real, after the flag was planted, all space activities, especially those related to the moon, will be compared with it."

"It is obvious that NASA is unwilling to carry out space activities related to the 'moon'. They would rather focus on exploring asteroids, Mars, and deep space. Because there is no comparison and no harm. Every thread on the flag is ultimately tied to NASA's own hands and feet."

It’s like a general who was once rumored to have the strength to lift a huge tripod. Regardless of whether he actually lifted it or not, when he can no longer lift it, his best solution is to never touch it again for the rest of his life.

"If we don't develop a gold mine that's right in front of us, and can only pursue more illusory things, don't you think it's uncomfortable? The moon is only second to the earth and the sun in terms of importance to human civilization. Sometimes I sympathize with the astronauts there. For them, landing on the moon is like a tight hoop that is always on their heads." If they hadn't been pushed into a corner in recent years, they wouldn't have come up with the "Eye of Artemis"

Gan Yuan seemed to be thinking about something. The boss described NASA's dilemma very clearly in just a few words. Although it was not deduced through evidence, there was nothing wrong with the logical analysis.

It's true when you think about it this way.
Even if your technology surpasses that of "A Zhong", what's the point? Compared with "Zhen Da Piao Liang" 47 years ago, any of your data is far behind!
Once you do, the level will be exposed.

The harder they work in this regard, the more they will be criticized, and the more their past achievements will be questioned. In the end, they will have no choice but to give up forever or let private enterprises try it out.

If you are new, you need to practice more. If you don’t practice, you will inevitably become more and more new.

After leaving the staff area, Zhou Rui put on his baseball cap and said with a smile:

"Also, for the Eye of Artemis, everything is premised on it being able to soft-land on the moon smoothly, complete its intended mission, and have no problems with the return capsule. Otherwise, no matter how advanced the design is, it will be meaningless. We can hard-land and send a photolithography machine up there. That's definitely more advanced than this thing, isn't it? Who doesn't know how to smash into the moon?"

Gan Yuan nodded: "Then let them be happy for two days. When the Toad Palace Project is announced, they will no longer be important."

Zhou Rui shook his head, "No, I even hope they succeed. We are leading the field of aerospace more and more, but at the end of the day, the narrative of mankind still depends on the land under our feet. The achievements of aerospace are to influence the earth. It's okay to be far ahead, but if no one is running with us, it will be boring after all."

From a distance, Zhou Rui had already seen Han Ziyin and the other two. The four of them had agreed to go for a walk around the West Lake. It was Li Wenqian who proposed it. In her words, since they were already there, they might as well take a look.

Zhou Rui had no objection. He was a little bored after staying in the exhibition hall for so many days.

Zhou Rui walked up and said, "I'm done, let's go."

Li Wenqian: "So soon? You just announced such an important technology. I thought you would have a good chat with those company executives about cooperation."

Zhou Rui spread his hands: "Let them digest it first."

Gan Yuan took a step back with a tactful look: "The car has been arranged. Boss, have fun. I'll help you watch over it."

Han Ziyin suddenly said, "Boss Gan, do you want to come along? There are so many people in Furui Group, there should be someone who can do it for you, right?"

Gan Yuan looked at her boss hesitantly. She didn't object to going out to play, but she didn't want to cause trouble for her boss.

No matter how you look at it, the boss seems to be in a precarious situation, so a little helper like her should not cause more trouble.

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Come along. There are so many people here, we don't need you. Let's go for a walk around West Lake."

Gan Yuan nodded slightly with a little trepidation: "I understand. Then I won't spoil the fun. Let's go together."

A few hours later, at a restaurant near West Lake
Han Ziyin rarely showed excitement and joy, and looked expectantly at the waiter as he brought the dishes.

His face was full of happiness, an expression of emotion that Zhou Rui rarely saw.

Han Ziyin picked up a piece of West Lake vinegar fish and put it into her mouth to savor it carefully.

“This is my favorite dish. It’s not made anywhere else except Hangzhou! I haven’t eaten it in years.”

"Click".

Zhou Rui dropped his chopsticks.

Li Wenqian followed suit and picked up a piece: "It's so delicious? Let me try it!"

Tong Xin took a bite doubtfully and said, "It is indeed a famous dish. It should be very special."

Gan Yuan took a bite out of politeness.

Then he ate one by one without saying a word.

Han Ziyin: "You're welcome! If it's not enough, we can order two strips. This restaurant is the most authentic!"

Several people roared in their hearts at the same time:

Are you serious!
