Doom: Start with a tech panel

Chapter 40 A Future Bet
Yang Yi brought the No. Y1 combat mecha to the research and development room on the 15th floor underground of City Group.

Chen Wei, who hadn't shown up at City Group for a few days, still didn't show up.

Huo Tingchuan, deputy chief engineer of mech manufacturing, felt very disdainful when he saw the Y1 that Yang Yi brought over.

Because Huo Tingchuan has always opposed the development of combat mechs.

In his opinion, combat mechas will consume Blue Star's resources faster, and if criminals obtain combat mechas, it will pose too great a risk to the current security.

When Chen Wei came to the laboratory with the black iron mecha before, Huo Tingchuan had an unhappy expression on his face, but now seeing the appearance of the combat robot Y1, his expression became even uglier.

A group of R&D personnel had a meeting in the conference room. When the test image of Y1 was projected on the screen, everyone present exclaimed that this will be a new product that will change the current technological landscape.

All the research personnel are very excited. When such a new technology is put into the market, it will have a great response.

Although Huo Tingchuan was reluctant, he had to admit that the functions and various technologies carried by the Y1 were really difficult to overcome at present. Chen Wei handed over the research and development of such a robot to Yang Yi. Chen Wei's ability Huo Tingchuan I also admire it from the bottom of my heart.

"Such a robot is an unstable existence for society. The consequences of large-scale investment and manufacturing are difficult to predict."

Huo Tingchuan couldn't bear it anymore, this was the first time he interrupted Yang Yi in a meeting.

He is an honest researcher, and the mechas he develops also serve the public, and the machines he develops are all controllable, but they will not exceed the scope of human control.

Because robots are developed by humans, their status is always inferior to humans at any time.

"Mr. Huo, the Y1 combat machine will not be put into the market on a large scale, at least ordinary people cannot buy and own it. After it is developed, the first stage is planned to be used by the security forces. It will play a role in daily patrols and security maintenance. to a strengthening effect."

Huo Tingchuan snorted coldly, and turned his head to one side: "The law and order is already very good now, why bother to continue researching such a destructive machine..."

"In the previous scientific and technological bottleneck period, the group invested in research and development of a lot of machines that were ineffective, but they were faster in terms of functional procedures and speed response. To put it bluntly, all internal personnel knew that they were robots that had changed their soup... and purchased Users of the new robot feel that they just changed the shell of the machine, and many functional things have not been broken at all.”

Huo Tingchuan's hands were trembling slightly. Huo Tingchuan definitely contributed to the expansion of City Group's mecha business throughout Blue Star. Moreover, City Group's city-01 and 02 housekeeping service robots gained popularity on the market once they were launched. Widely acclaimed, it was considered a revolutionary product at the time.

And the mecha department of City Group is also relying on the sales share of No. 01 and No. 02 robots to occupy the current mainstream position.

The important thing is that the two robots were developed by Huo Tingchuan. At that time, Huo Tingchuan was in the limelight in the city group and held a very important position.

Now, it's the turn of new changes. Housekeeping robots have become saturated in the market, and their functionality and popularity have been perfected day by day. Everyone thinks that housekeeping robots have become normal.

To Huo Tingchuan, this sentence was very harsh.

He thinks that Yang Yi is no longer using him, and he feels that he is in decline and his talents are exhausted.

On the contrary, a clown and a little-known Chen Wei are more valued by Yang Yi, and the heavy responsibility of the combat mech is handed over to Chen Wei.

"The research and development of combat mechs is a mistake. We should have human beings' own way of life and life instead of everything being replaced by robots. I don't want to think that when I go out, I see robot mechs flying all over the sky. I don't like the progress of the times. In this way..."

"And the most important thing is the fear that one day in the future we humans will be controlled by mechas instead of us controlling the mechas."

Huo Tingchuan was excited. He sat on the chair and shook his head frequently, throwing the water glass on the table in front of him to the ground.

The sound of glass shattering came clearly, and everyone in the conference room was silent.

"Master Huo."

Yang Yi looked at him and frowned: "Technology cannot stagnate. Combat-type mechas should be launched."

"No!" Huo Tingchuan said firmly.

"There are too many uncontrollable factors in combat mechs, and it is difficult to control them. When they are out of our control, no one knows what will happen...Maybe a 20-member mech squad can capture a city, At that time, the world will undergo new changes, people's hearts are unpredictable, Yang Yi."

"We can inject the main control chip at the same time as the machine is developed. All combat mechs are under the unified management of the group. How can it be uncontrollable..."

"Hahaha..." Huo Tingchuan laughed loudly.

He lowered his eyebrows, feeling a little depressed: "The main control chip? This mecha is not produced and developed by our group, all the appearance, structure and internal commands must be based on it." Huo Tingchuan pointed to the Y1 on the table. Number.

"The maker of this mech is Chen Wei. Who is he, do you understand? His experience, background and various social backgrounds, he is the real mother control unit... We mass-produce the mechs , as long as Chen Wei gives an order, all the mechas can be ordered to obey him, and then... who will own our lives and the lives of our family members? Do you really know what kind of person he is?"

Yang Yi was speechless for a moment.

What Huo Tingchuan said was unreasonable. If all the mechs were developed according to the Y1 number, Chen Wei would be very clear about the chip code and data of each mecha. If he really had other ideas, it would really be uncontrollable.

However, Yang Yi chose to believe in Chen Wei this time. Although she knew him not long ago, she knew that Chen Wei was not such a person.

This is a bet, the future of everyone in Blue Star is at stake.

Yang Yi took a deep breath.

"Fighting mechs must be researched and developed. For the next step of the group's development and future changes, this matter is imminent. All departments are ordered... to stop the development of all machinery and mechas at hand, and devote ourselves to the copying and manufacturing of Y1. Among..."

"Yang Yi." Huo Tingchuan stood up angrily.

"Master Huo, times need to change. Your die-hard approach no longer works today."

The tense atmosphere oppressed everyone present.

Huo Tingchuan walked over step by step, his angry voice became hoarse, and he looked around at everyone present: "You will all regret it."

After speaking, he opened the door and slammed it hard and left.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Now everyone can clearly see who is the head of the group. Some people who are usually managed by Huo Tingchuan also have prejudices against his work attitude and methods. Now that the two leaders have openly turned against each other, everyone has started to stand in line.

"Master Huo is just too stubborn sometimes."

"His housekeeping robot is a product of the times. The one in my house occasionally crashes and restarts, and it's not as functional now as it was when it first started."

"The housekeeping robots have already done all the help in daily life. I think it's time for the group company to carry out other businesses."

"Everyone knows that military H is a battleground for all mecha companies, so it's better to get in early."

"..."

What everyone below said one by one was quite critical of Huo Tingchuan.

But everyone is looking forward to the research and development of the new type of combat mecha, because the first batch of successfully manufactured personnel will always be recorded in the annals of history.
