MTL - Monster Factory-Chapter 1395 : The name of the robot

The cost price of the civilian version is seventy-eight thousand.

This price has barely reached Ye Qing's heart price.

In addition, this is only the price estimated based on the cost of the parts and the robot frame. If large-scale investment is made in production and an efficient production line is established, the price can be reduced by 5 to 8%.

about there.

After several days of negotiations, Behemoth Industry has also made initial progress in the science and technology department and the supercomputing center.

The supercomputing center would originally lease the remaining computing power to outsiders for commercial use.

It's just that these computing powers are not fixed, as their own calculation project occupancy rate changes.

The giant monster industry started with a minimum of 50% of the computing power hire, which is still high and uncapped, and directly confuses the supercomputing center.

This...what is this going to do?

When they shared the news in the industry in a bragging manner, they realized that they were not the only lucky ones.

Behemoth Industry contacted all the national supercomputing centers in one go...

Subsequently, the science and technology department of their supervisory unit sent a letter asking the eight supercomputing centers to coordinate the supercomputing power as much as possible, and postpone some scattered and unimportant appointments to meet the computing needs of the giant monster industry as much as possible.

Be good~

Is the giant beast industry trying to simulate the origin of mankind and solve the most mysterious evolutionary code on earth?

...

Two days later.

In the underground laboratory of Behemoth Industry, two reduced version robots were also made by monsters.

For example, the prototype version of the Watcher robot, the two robots in the laboratory are not only shorter, but also thinner.

They are uniform in height of one meter six, the civilian version is painted in silver-gray, the body structure is similar to that of humans, and the torso is made of JS5-tpu material, and lightweight aluminum alloy.

Whoever meets it will only be amazed that this is a perfect technological artwork.

It is even more technological than the mechanical prosthesis in the science fiction movie Alita.

Metallic silver gray and white JS5-tpu material form its basic color, and the lines of the two colors are mixed together.

Its arms are as simple and fluent as human arms. The joints of both hands are covered with a layer of complete white JS5-tpu material. It does not have the awkwardness and industrial sense of traditional mechanical arms that are full of rotating shafts and motors.

On the surface of its body, no mechanical shaft joints can be found, and it is completely driven by bionic electric muscles.

This "technological muscle", which consists of multiple bionic muscle fibers and is hidden under the outline of a lightweight alloy, will give people a very light and flexible feeling even if it stands still.

In contrast to the simple arms, it looks a bit complicated and complicated legs.

It is different from the legs that copy the structure of human joints in sci-fi works, or the design of large feet with reverse joints that is forced to compromise due to technology in reality.

The shape of the legs of this robot is similar to that of a human, but it is divided into a number of irregular rhombuses by a lightweight alloy shell. These irregular rhombuses continue to below the bionic knee joint, and there is little difference between the calf structure and the appearance of the arms. .

But further down, it is the "boots" with a feminine style covering the soles of the feet by JS5-tpu material.

In reality, when a robot uses two legs to walk, it is necessary to consider the problems of wear resistance and noise.

It is unrealistic to walk on the ground with a pair of metal big feet like the "Kang Dang~ Cang Dang~" in the movie. Doing so will only polish the floor of the user's home and receive a lot of noise complaints from downstairs.

Finally, the most important head of the robot.

Whether a robot looks like a human or not is largely determined by the facial features on the head.

If there are noses, eyes, mouths and ears, then robots are really no different from humans.

Ye Qing abandoned this design.

A robot that looks too human will not have any enhancement in its functions, but will cause a series of social ethical issues.

In addition, with the five senses, facial expression simulation is also a big problem. To make the robot's facial expressions as smart as humans, the cost alone would increase by one third.

Perhaps the second generation of intelligent robots can try facial expression simulation, but for now, let's spread the market first and let users get used to the robot product.

Without facial features, this robot has a streamlined head like a helmet.

From the appearance only, the robot's height of 1.6 meters and a thin body shape make it more "female" in appearance.

However, in the design, it has no gender distinction, and now it is more feminine, purely compressing the cost to the extreme result.

Ye Qing looked at the robot in the laboratory, her eyes full of appreciation.

Not to mention that the cost of the current robot is nearly two thousand times smaller than that of the prototype, but in the application of home scenes, the two are really not too far apart. Because most of the electronic components on the prototype machine are not applicable in the home scene.

This civilian version, instead, has been strengthened in the application of family scenes.

"Boss, you have been watching it for a long time. Have you chosen your name?" Seeing Ye Qing staying motionless and admiring the work, Dianjing was a little restless. It urged: "There is also an industrial version of mine. Nice name."

"The name is not difficult." Ye Qing took his eyes away from the robot and thought: "Remember the name of the first-generation robot product we launched?"

Dianjing certainly remembers, "The home version is called the Guardian, and the industrial version is called the Explorer."

Ye Qing said, "Strictly speaking, the first-generation product cannot be called a robot. It has almost no intelligence. It is no different from a piece of scrap iron without the user's remote operation."

"In theory, the names of such non-smart products are based on the names of some items or products."

"If it is related to smart products or programs, there are also conventions and conventions for naming the industry, which are all human names."

"Such as Xiaodu, Xiaoya, Xiaoai, Ruoqi, Alpha, Jiaojiao, etc.~"

With that said, Dianjing feels that this is the case, "Boss, do you mean that we should also use personal names?"

"Beast? Lili?" Dianjing opened her mouth, "Or Xiaodian, Xiaoqing?"

"..."

"It's terrible, and Xiaodian Xiaoqing, don't you think it's numb?" Ye Qing looked disgusted, "In addition, don't you think that the names of these smart products in China are all a little bit of scorn?"

"Nippy?"

"Little kid?"

Dianjing doesn't understand what Xiaojiaziqi is. "I just feel that these smart products are similar to ‘mentally retarded’, both at home and abroad. It’s okay to use your mouth to make it work, but you can’t do it."

"Then what do you call the boss?"

"We don't take the names of objects or people." When Ye Qing admired the robot, he was also thinking about the question of naming. He already had the answer in his heart.

"Family Edition-Elf Maid."

"Industrial Edition—Exotic Engineer."

"Why... a bit of a two-dimensional feeling?" Dianjing doesn't understand Xiaojiaziqi, but it has been on the Internet all the year round, subconsciously feeling that these names are a bit two-dimensional.

"Elf and aliens do not exist in reality, just like our products, whether in the eyes of users or other technology companies, it is like walking out of other worlds."

"The maid fits the work of the home version of the robot, and the engineer fits the industrial version."

Dianjing clapped his hands, "Sounds great, so that's it."
