I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

After reading Hartz's reply, although I always felt like punching him, seeing that the other party was so calm and could eat watermelon while watching a drama, it probably meant that it was nothing serious.

The team was almost finished. Fu'er put away his mobile phone and walked into the door of Hanhai Self Technology Co., Ltd. under the leadership of Boss Xie.

Walking into the lobby on the first floor, what was waiting for them was not the company's staff, nor the young lady sitting at the company's front desk, but a large robot that looked like a snowman with two rectangular bodies on top and bottom.

The whole body is painted in white ceramic, with some flowing decorative lines on the body, and the edges are basically rounded. The head part on the front is basically composed of a whole display, which imitates the style of an oscilloscope, displaying a large smiling face.

Although it doesn't have the quality of the simulated robots in science fiction movies, it is still quite cute just looking at it.

"Welcome to Hanhai Self Technology Co., Ltd., I am the tour guide responsible for your visit these two days. Students can call me: Chart, the artificial intelligence robot - Chart"

From behind the robot, a slightly distorted electronic sound came.

"…………"

After a brief silence, the students burst into exclamations.

"Wow!!! Is it really a robot!!!"

"Yes, I am an intelligent AI developed by our company, and this body was developed and provided by a partner company in Germany."

"Do you have any specialties?"

"If it's a humorous answer, then my telescopic and extended robotic arms are my specialty;"

While explaining, the circular sliders on the left and right sides of Chart automatically popped up, from which stretched out a pair of two mechanical arms covered with locking structures, and the palm part was made of a pair of mechanical pliers with inflatable modules. composition.

"If it's an official answer, I can provide humans with a variety of functions such as data analysis, information search, itinerary planning, destination guidance, and assistance through conversations."

"It's not like there's actually a weird uncle hiding in the office who is remotely controlling it to amuse us..."

"Of course not. In fact, I have multiple avatar personality packs to choose from, such as this one that has been quite popular in the company recently."

After the progress bar on the monitor on the opponent's head was loaded, another voice that was completely different from the previous one came from behind the robot.

"Hi~ Miss me? No matter when and where, the intelligent AI Charles will respond to your expectations——"

"Wow!!!!!!!"

It seemed to be a simulated personality of a recently popular game character. The moment the voice came out, the whole class, or at least most of the boys, screamed.

Fu'er was also surprised. Although it was still obvious that it was a synthesized voice, both the timbre and the tone were the same as a real person speaking, as if there was just a gap between the sound of a trumpet.

“And there’s this kind of personality~”

After reading the message briefly, the robot changed its voice and tone.

"Hello classmates, I am Chart, the intelligent spirit of our company."

"Wow!!!!!"

"Hello, everyone in the class, I am the intelligent AI Charter who has been practicing for two and a half years. I like -"

"Wow!!!!!"

After a burst of inexplicable rooster crowing music, the scene finally quieted down, and Chart switched back to his original, more "AI" style personality pack.

"Okay, now please lead the teacher and all the students to follow me and go to the elevator from your right side. The first destination of your visit will be our R&D laboratory on the 6th floor. A visit to our company There are a total of 6 elevators in the passage. Each elevator can carry up to 1000Kg of passengers, which is expected to be about 14-15 people. Please allocate the elevators reasonably and go to the sixth floor."

After the introduction, Charles turned around and said to the team leader, Boss Xie.

"Teacher leader, please go to the 6th floor with the students. There is already another machine of mine waiting for everyone to arrive. You can just follow it for the rest of the itinerary."

"Okay, thank you for the introduction."

"You're welcome, serving humanity is Chart's job and honor."

After bidding farewell to No. 45 Charles, who was in charge of the company's entrance, everyone was divided into 1+46, which was the formation of [-] people, in six different elevators, and headed to the first destination of their visit.

"It feels like an eye-opener. Although I have heard my father talk about this project, but seeing it with my own eyes still feels completely different. You are quite good at choosing~"

In the elevator, Bai Sheng, who was on the same team as Fu Er, poked Fu Er's waist with his elbow and said with a smile.

"Of course, if you don't look at it, how can my taste be any different?"

Fu'er was also shameless and accepted the compliment openly.

The elevator was very smooth, and although it wasn't very fast, after all, it didn't take much time to get from the 1st floor to the 6th floor. We arrived at our destination without even saying a few words. Fu'er followed his classmates out of the elevator, and there was already a person in front of him. No. [-] Charles is waiting for everyone in the lobby.

"A total of 46 people, the same data as the first floor, enter the next process."

Through a quick scan of the camera, Charles confirmed that the number of people coming up was correct, and then began to explain.

"We are about to start this tour. If you need to use the restroom, you can go to the back of the stairs now. Please contact the lead teacher to confirm with me after confirming that the students have nothing else to do. Then we will officially start the tour."

"okay, I get it."

After confirming the arrangement, Boss Xie said to the whole class.

"If you need to go to the toilet, go do it now. If you have any urgent matters, go take care of it now. It won't be convenient when the tour starts later. Go and get back as soon as possible."

"yes----"

Scatteredly, about a quarter of the classmates lined up and went to the bathroom to solve the problem. Bai Sheng beside him also threw his bag to him and went to the bathroom. As for Fu'er himself, he felt the storage capacity of his bladder slightly and felt that it was not urgent and he didn't need to go up.

After all the students returned, Boss Xie confirmed it and said to No. [-] Charles.

"Okay, it's confirmed, let's start visiting, Charles."

"Received, hello, fellow students, welcome again to Hanhai Self Technology Co., Ltd. Due to the need to protect the confidentiality of the company's research and development, students are asked not to take out their mobile phones and cameras when visiting some areas. Waiting for imaging recording equipment, before the tour starts in each area, Charles will inform everyone whether photography is allowed here.”

"If you accidentally fall behind or get lost, you can consult the nearby Charles. Our company has visiting robot models of Charles placed in multiple places on each floor. You can ask them for help with all questions."

"Now, students, please turn left with me. The area on the sixth floor is our company's R&D laboratory. Photography and photography are not allowed. Please understand."

After walking through the elevator room, there is a long row of glass passages in front of you. Looking to the left, you can see rows of workstations filled with computers. At each workstation, people are constantly typing on the keyboard. Most of them have two screens, one seems to be displaying some data in real time, and the other is running code.

There are some indoor green plants staggered between the workstations. The end of this large office area seems to be the tea room and lounge. However, at this time, no employees were seen fishing there. Everyone was concentrating on their own work. Busy in front of the workstation.

Although this is a network technology company, in fact, I don’t know why. Just like those factories with assembly lines to visit, there is this glass plank road they are walking through.

"Everyone, look to the left. This is our company's development laboratory. To be precise, the R&D laboratory is located on the 5th floor of our company's building. The 6th floor is specially built to facilitate government departments and foreign cooperative enterprises to visit. Passage. Because our company cooperates very closely with other companies, people from all over the world often come here to visit. The purpose of building this visit passage is not only to facilitate everyone's visit, but also to not disturb the normal work of employees. "

Chart No. [-] explained while leading everyone through the corridor.

"This is generally responsible for the early development and testing of independent modules of company projects. For example, for me, the earliest experimental version was born here."

"Does this mean this is your delivery room?"

A classmate with a slight sense of humor asked, not knowing if he still wanted to tease the AI's intelligence.

"Yes, you are very humorous~ This is equivalent to my delivery room. According to this statement, I do have many, many parents."

"Hahahahahaha."

Fu Er and Bai Sheng were also amused. If this joke was told by a normal human being, it might not necessarily be funny, but if told by an intelligent AI, it would be inexplicably full of joy.

"This AI is really smart!"

Fu Er said to Bai Sheng while smiling.

"Qie, although I have heard my dad mention this company's project, I still think it's awesome when I see it with my own eyes! You think, if AI really develops, can AI beings also become [heroes]? "

"what??"

Bai Sheng asked Fu'er from an angle that he had never thought of.

"Maybe... not possible"

Fu'er thought for a moment and then said:

"Since the qualifications of [Hero] are issued by [Alaya Consciousness], and this person is the collective body of human pan-consciousness, even if AI develops, it should not be the same species as us, and it should not belong to the same species. It should be within the control of [Alaya Consciousness]."

"That's true."

"Although I am also very curious, I know what your father does in the government."

"Don't worry, he's just a clerk."

"Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Everyone was laughing, but Boss Xie was a little embarrassed. He was worried that the noise would affect the employees' work, so he quickly motioned for everyone to lower their voices and stop making loud noises.

"Teacher leader, please don't worry -"

Seemingly sensing Boss Xie's thoughts through movements and facial capture, Charles No. 180 turned his head. Yes, literally, his body was still moving forward, but only his head turned [-] degrees, and then said:

"I just mentioned that this corridor was specially built for visiting purposes, so of course it has a very strict sound insulation design. The glass on the left uses sound insulation glass with vacuum insulation, which can reduce noise. The effect is about 60 decibels, so please don’t worry about disturbing the work of employees.”

After hearing this explanation, Boss Xie felt relieved and no longer worried.

After walking around the corridor for a full circle, everyone also saw the entire R&D laboratory. Although for ordinary students like them, it was difficult to watch the pure code performed by those employees from a distance. The development work doesn't make much sense, but as long as it looks cool, it's very satisfying.

At the end, everyone circled back to the elevator room where they started. Chart No. [-] turned around and said.

"Then the tour of the R&D laboratory ends here. Next, please take the elevator to the Mechanical Structure Laboratory on the 12th floor to visit. The process is the same as when the students came up. There is already another person like me waiting on top. Everyone."

"it is good--"

The tour continued, and Chart watched visually, or rather observed with a capture camera, as everyone entered the elevator and headed to the 12th floor.

When it saw the indicator numbers of all the elevators and just arrived, it turned around and returned to the initial standby point. This position is located at the entrance of the visiting passage. Looking behind it, you can just see the entire development laboratory. .

Below, everyone is still sitting in front of the workstation. On the monitor, data is being calculated and code is jumping.

However, none of the employees' hands were still beating on the keyboard.

They just sat there quietly.

like a statue--

Like, a robot.
