Chapter 563 Cutting Hair

"By the way, if you go to Xia, bring Snowball to the commodity fair." Xu Yang thought of the news. Major cities in Xia often hold commodity fairs, and buyers from various companies and commercial media will attend.

"That's right, Xia has so many buyers, so he can become the main demander. If we can contact the local publicity force, this kind of dog should sell well!" Zuo Hongchen nodded frequently.

"I don't want to be traded out." Snowball trembled.

"You are just a sample, you will bring it back after the exhibition." Xu Yang comforted it.

While the others were eating, Xu Yang scanned the chip collar around Xueqiu's neck, which recorded Xueqiu's "life experience".

A series of codes and symbols emerged, identifying the manufacturer of the snowball: the 22nd group of the production department of Nisto Company, the smart machine factory in Takakawa, Chiquan City, the production date: May 5, 150.

This was followed by a list of names of all those who participated in the design and manufacture of Snowball, as many as 1030 people, covering Snowball's designers, R&D specialists, programmers, robot engineers, and circuit designers. , mechanical assemblers, commissioning and testing staff, storage staff...

Snowball crouched on the ground, wagging its steel tail, completely made up of inorganic matter. But when Xu Yang thought of the sweat and labor of those 1030 people, Xueqiu showed a kind of vitality at this moment. Every movement and every voice play of it condenses people's efforts and vision.

Xu Yang stretched out his hand, Xueqiu came over and shook hands with him, showing his friendliness and intelligence.

Everything works. Xu Yang silently thought that if Xueqiu's exhibition and sales trip in Xia goes smoothly, the factory orders will increase significantly, Nisto's overseas trade for Xia will become prosperous, and boxes of mechanical dogs will be shipped to Xia. The market sells, and the profits are distributed to the factory workers and no longer flow to the entrepreneurs.

The real change isn't about better pay or technology, it's about workers standing up and taking companies into their own hands.

"Do you think people from Xia will like you?" Xu Yang asked Xueqiu.

"Uh, I will try my best." Snowball rolled on the ground, "I will behave as smart as possible, harmless to humans and animals, friendly and cute, and fulfill the responsibility of companionship. People design robot dogs for this. Xia's Expo There will be some other artificial intelligence products on the Internet, but I believe I can beat them, because my smart chip is better than 99% of the current robot pets, sir."

Snowball does very well both in combat and in family companionship. Xu Yang read the laboratory report. During the Battle of Sado City, Snowball’s performance was 20% better than that in the laboratory environment, indicating that its intelligent behavior chip is actually more suitable for working outdoors, and can also handle more complex social behavior.

After eating, they had a few drinks.

"I heard that Linyin works here." Hosoda Yoshiyuki asked Xu Yang.

"Yes. How do you feel?" Xu Yang still remembers Hosoda Yoshiyuki, a reformer with rich experience and rough life, no matter when, the gloomy and irritable temperament is lingering on the other party's face, as if he will get angry at any time .

Yoshiyuki Hosoda appears particularly restrained and calm here. He looked around, and there were exquisite technological products here, with slender and exquisite styles. He felt like a brash man walking into a porcelain shop, and the slightest movement would destroy the tranquility and peace here.

The walls are decorated with cool-toned metal and lime, and the lighting arrangement in each room is quite low-key, without any obvious light source to overwhelm the guests, and the atmosphere is simple and high-tech.

There is also a whole floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, facing the night view of Shanghai, the bustling city is like a distant painting painted in neon colors, the lights of commercial buildings and the images of fashion advertisements are constantly changing, entertaining the eyes and ears, just in time with this busy and chaotic era commensurate.

"It's beautiful here." Hosoda Yoshiyuki walked towards the distant view wall.

After leaning over, he always felt that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that there were ripples of light and shadow on the wall, and the city seemed to be a dream that could be broken with a poke.

He turned his head and saw Xu Yang's encouraging gaze, so he stepped in as soon as he stretched his foot, and walked into the glass corridor behind the wall. Only then did he see that the scenery of Shangjing was farther away. The wall just now was a complete set. imaging technology.

He found himself on a luxurious terrace, connected to the helipad, observation deck, small workshop, massage room and infinity pool, this studio is really unique.

Hosoda Yoshiyuki walked forward, came to the edge of the glass railing, leaned forward, looked down at the distant ground, which was about 100 floors above the ground, which made him dizzy.

"I heard that the first half of Mr. Hosoda's life was very difficult." Xu Yang walked through the glass corridor.

The night wind on the terrace is filtered through the transparent thermostatic wall, and it feels refreshing rather than cold.

"It's more than suffering—it's pain!" Hosoda Yoshiyuki looked at his dilapidated body.

After destroying, self-repairing and reconstructing over and over again, he couldn't recognize his own body anymore.

"Body Augmentation Technology Makes You Superhuman."

"What kind of superman is obviously a super 'non-human'... If I am no longer me, what does it matter what I become? 40 years ago, I squatted in front of the TV and waited for cartoons, 20 years ago The me who ate lunch on the construction site, the me who shot a hired killer 10 years ago, the me who just escaped from prison last year, and the me now...there is no continuity between them." Hosoda Yoshiyuki muttered , the tone did not become more and more excited, but more and more fearful.

Xu Yang looked at him carefully.

"In your opinion, what can change the essence of a person? Of course, there is no fixed answer to this question." Xu Yang said slowly.

Hosoda Yoshiyuki closed his eyes and thought for a while. He needed a difficult question to think about right now, a distraction from the nervous pain in his brain.

"Yes, it's... love, is it... remorse? No, no..." The answer kept popping up in his heart, and he kept denying himself, "...it's 'time'... By the way, it's time Ah, great time, nothing can escape it, so time can change the essence of a person. What about you? Say, what is your answer?"

"My answer is 'no'. Nothing can change the essence of a person."

Hosoda Yoshiyuki nodded thoughtfully, and then thought about the conversation between himself and Xu Yang in distress.

He was still thinking about it until Xu Yang left.

The brain has not been replaced, the transformation has always been something other than the brain, these metals piercing the flesh enhance the mobility and combat power...there is no change in myself.

On the one hand, Hosoda Yoshiyuki felt that he had seen it through, but on the other hand, he was afraid that this was just the result of self-consolation and self-deception. For those in pain, self-deception is the best medicine.

Ah... maybe he was right when he said that nothing can change the essence of a person.

It took about half an hour for Hosoda Yoshiyuki to recover from his hard thinking. He let go of his hand and found that he had made five depressions on the alloy railing.

Feeling guilty, he returned to the reception room through the phantom wall, only to find that Zuo Hongchen and Xueqiu had already left.

"I broke your railing." Hosoda Yoshiyuki pointed to the terrace outside, "I'm sorry...I will pay for it."

"It's okay," Xu Yang put the apples into the juicer, "Are you leaving?"

"I have to go," Hosoda Yoshiyuki said.

After pushing the door and leaving, Yoshiyuki Hosoda felt much calmer. For the first time in his life he wanted to go to the movies. Unknowingly, he recognized Xu Yang's words - nothing can change a person's essence. He has since raised his head and walked.

Inside the room, Xu Yang gave apple juice and milk to little Farosa and little fool respectively as their snacks.

He wanted to go to sleep, but suddenly found that the little fool's hair was very long, and it had grown to his waist.

The little fool wanted to keep her hair, so she saw Xu Yang go to get the scissors, so she drank milk slowly.

She insisted that everything happened one by one, that if she drank milk for an hour, she would have to wait an hour for her hair to be cut.

Unexpectedly, too many things in the world can't be fulfilled, so after only drinking a small amount of milk, Xu Yang was already standing behind the little fool, helped her long black hair, and began to cut it.

"Quack..." the little fool said weakly.

"I saw your hair tripping yourself yesterday." Xu Yang warned.

"Quack." The little fool thought it was just the hair playing a joke on her.

"They block your eyes and fall into the food." Xu Yang clicked the scissors, and the little fool's long hair disappeared.

After Xu Yang went back to sleep, the little fool put down the milk bottle, walked to the trash can, and stared blankly at his cut hair.

"You want your hair back?" Little Faroza stood beside the little fool.

"Quack." The little fool stretched out his hand to stroke his short-cut hair.

She wished she had ankle-length black hair, so smooth and friendly, like a friend as tall as her. But they were cut off, so they were no longer good friends, but native cubs from nowhere, ugly as hell.

"How much do you miss it? Do you miss it very much?" said little Faroza softly.

"Quack." The little fool really wanted his hair back.

"I can help you restore your hair." Little Falosa's hand moved back along the little fool's forehead, sequentially, "But if you owe me a favor, you have to remember me once in the future."

"Gah!" The little fool was very happy.

Little Falosa's hand ran over the little fool's broken hair, and soon the little fool noticed that all her smooth, beautiful black hair was back.

"Quack!" The little fool ran to the mirror floor and squatted down to look at his smooth long hair.

"But he will cut your hair off tomorrow." Little Falosa sat on the ground and looked at her tenderly.

"Gah!" The little fool was taken aback when he thought of this terrible future.

"So you have to convince him," said little Faroza, "you have to use your reasons to convince him..."

The little fool thought about how to persuade Xu Yang for half the night.
