Chapter 430 The Weilong Spokesperson Is Coming

In the studio, Zhou Rui's hands were flexible and he was constantly changing various tools. His whole movements were smooth and smooth, and he didn't know what he was "rubbing".

"Puff!" There was a slight sound of the negative pressure door opening, and Gan Yuan walked in.

Seeing that her boss was busy, Gan Yuan did not interrupt immediately and stood quietly waiting by the side.

After a while, Zhou Rui put the half-modified "ball" aside. The chair he was sitting on slid to the computer next to him. He was typing something and said, "How do you say it?"

"As for the Ministry of Agriculture, I hope you can attend the ribbon-cutting when the first 'Faunshen' is delivered. I asked about it, and it actually means hanging a red rope or something at the agricultural machinery club, and the local agricultural department will send people to join us."

Zhou Rui nodded and said: "No problem, we are in Jiangsu and Zhejiang anyway, half a day is enough."

"Then I will help you arrange your itinerary. In addition, Taobao will contact us and hope that we can reserve a batch of goods for the 11th Shopping Festival."

This Double 11 event just started last year, but last year it was just a test of the waters, and the scale was not large.

This year it’s been really heavily promoted.

Zhou Rui asked doubtfully: "We don't have any discounts either, right?"

"There is no discount. They may subsidize one unit for 100 yuan. I mean, they just want to use this to hold an event to attract traffic."

"That's okay. We're still in the honeymoon period. It's okay to cooperate. Just keep 500 units."

"They want 10,000 units."

Zhou Rui turned around in his chair, raised his eyebrows and said, "They are thinking shit."

“Taobao said their delivery is slow and they can deliver within 15 days.”

Zhou Rui shook his head: "The market is so tight now. If 10,000 units suddenly appear, retail consumers will feel cheated. Those who wait to buy and line up offline every day will also feel uncomfortable. 1,000 units is the most. If you can do it, do it; if you can’t, forget it.”

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I'll reply to them."

After Gan Yuan quit, Zhou Rui continued to program on the computer. He had the ability to "unify knowledge and action" and "make connections by analogy." In the software engineering department, he could no longer see any reference objects.

Occasionally wandering around various coder forums, Zhou Rui feels that his level is not even generational, but it is also a generation behind.

Especially the "unity of knowledge and action" is really powerful

He was gaining knowledge and inspiration almost every moment. He didn't dare to think about what he would become if this continued for a few years or more than ten years.

After connecting the half-volume ball to the computer, Zhou Rui updated the control system, then returned the upper body of the ball to it and reassembled it into a ball.

Zhou Rui picked up the engineering version of the remote control and prepared to test it.

Spherical robots, often used as future robot shapes, appear in various science fiction works and have endured for a long time.

People always believe that this form with natural aesthetics will be one of the future development directions of robots.

But in reality, spherical robots are extremely rare because they greatly increase the difficulty of design and processing, have low space utilization, and have poor obstacle-crossing capabilities.

The so-called spherical robot is more flexible, but it is only for very special terrain. In fact, it cannot even go up even one step, and its "braking" ability during movement will be very poor.

But Zhou Rui has his own way.

Following Zhou Rui's operation, the ball-shaped robot on the ground rolled left and right.

"Well try the new function."

A gap appeared on the edge of the "ball". After a slight motor sound, the lower body deformed and stretched out four legs. It changed from a spherical shape to a strange, almost spider-shaped appearance.

The "ball" with legs began to move left and right as Zhou Rui manipulated it, looking quite flexible.

However, when moving forward and backward, he fell due to a sudden stop and reversed course.

Then he couldn't get up, and he was like a flipped bastard, baring his teeth and claws.

Zhou Rui touched his chin: "There is still something wrong with the counterweight, but when the center of gravity moves down and the ball rolls, it will become unstable again."

He turned the ball over. This basketball-sized "drone" had not yet been networked to produce "mechanical intelligence". It was purely controlled by Zhou Rui with a remote control.

"If the original purpose of Qiuqiu is to exist as a rescue and search robot, it is destined to climb over complex terrain, even messy ruins. The spherical shape only has advantages under certain circumstances."

Should we abandon the spherical idea?

He actually has an alternative plan, which is the snake shape. Although it is ugly, it is more practical. You can also rub one out and try it later.

It would be great if there were liquid metal robots

Zhou Rui shook his head mockingly. He was great at engineering, but not to the level of science fiction.

And this has nothing to do with engineering. At least the prerequisite is that materials science can break through for hundreds of years.

He has already listed [Basic Photochemistry] on the newly vacated taskbar, preparing to move up his major and write an "undergraduate thesis" that will shock the academic world, but it is far away from liquid metal.

Well, you still have to have dreams. What if you pick up a revelation from heaven?

Just as I was thinking about it, the signal light on the wall of the studio flashed, which meant that someone applied to come in.

Zhou Rui opened the door. With a popping sound, the metal door slid open. Looking out, he saw Bai Xiaoying outside the office.

In the entire Fului, only Gan Yuan can directly enter Zhou Rui's office. This is a unique trust, while others must ring the "doorbell".

Zhou Rui asked curiously: "How to say?"

Bai Xiaoying raised the special equipment in her hand.

"There is a confidential communication request from Rong Fei."

Zhou Rui was stunned.

I wondered if the "Weilong" had some problems again.

Could it be that the pig had pushed it again? I just fixed it!

It was much more convenient to make a confidential call in Zhichuang Space, so Zhou Rui answered the call directly.

On the other end of the phone was Lin Guangrong, who had just left Shanghai.

Lin Guangrong: "Boss Zhou, are you busy lately?"

"A little busy? Any bad news?"

Lin Guangrong's voice was somewhat happy and cheerful: "How can it be bad news? There is just a small event that invites you to witness it. The organization has decided that before the end of the year, the Weilong will publicly "fly for the first time."

Zhou Rui's eyes lit up: "Oh? The kind that is announced to the public? So decisive?"

"It is earlier than expected, mainly due to some considerations of the international situation. First, our own production line has been established, just in the 919 factory, and second, the other party's F22 production line has been officially decided to be closed."

"Third, the other party will soon have a heavyweight visit, and the organization is ready to give a surprise."

China has its own unique philosophy of life. According to the cultural background of thousands of years, the top-level structure emphasizes "conquering people with virtue", at least in the concept and vision, it always yearns for this direction.

However, the current international environment is hard to describe, and we are facing a group of "fear of power but not virtue".

The more you reason, the more excited they are, and they want to bite you.

So the "Weilong" will eventually go out into the sunlight, just like the Dongfeng back then.

"This 'first flight' will be filmed throughout, and people from all walks of life will be invited to witness it. The location is at Rongfei."

Zhou Rui suddenly thought of a question: "Will it be in stealth mode?"

That is the biggest secret of the "Weilong".

Once the stealth mode is turned on, even a blind person can see how advanced it is, even too advanced.

Lin Guangrong smiled and said, "We discussed it above, and it will be turned on!"

This answer was a bit beyond Zhou Rui's expectations.

"Are you not afraid of scaring people if you really turn it on? The F22 production line is assembled again?"

Lin Guangrong's voice became a little unpredictable

"If that's true, it's even better"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Rui was thoughtful.

He still had to go. It was a short trip, and it would be done in a day or two. After all, it is one of the fathers of the "Weilong". By the way, he could also see the new production line of the 919 factory and get together with the workers in the factory.

However, the situation described by Lin Guangrong aroused Zhou Rui's curiosity. He immediately turned on the computer to check it out, and it was indeed true.

Four days ago, the opposite Congress passed a resolution to abandon the F22 production line.

And the kind-hearted "spokesperson" that Lin Guangrong mentioned was not the one who was going to visit, but the top leader of the opposite side, the Minister of State.

Interestingly, this person also accepted an interview at the press conference on the closure of the F22 production line.

The reporter asked him how to deal with competitors, such as China, if the production line was closed.

The Minister of State, who looked square, said contemptuously: "China is at least 20 years away from the fifth-generation aircraft. By then, we will have been on another level. Except for us, no country in the world has the ability to manufacture a fifth-generation fighter, even one."

Good guy, it seems that this guy will be swollen in the face soon.

In fact, since last year, the opposite side has been discussing the issue of closing the F22 production line, and a series of waves have been extended from this.

On the surface, I am the best in the world, but in fact, they are doing their best to collect intelligence on "competitors" around the world.

Rongfei experts were followed, Sixiang Laboratory was suspected, the "cheap disc" farce, and even the invitation letter from MIT are all different branches extending from this height.

In the vast land, there must be open and secret struggles that Zhou Rui is unaware of, and even dangerous confrontations that Zhou Rui cannot imagine.

Maybe it was because the time was too long, or maybe it was because the long-term spying failed, which made them mistakenly believe that "Weilong" did not exist at all, and finally made the decision to close the production line.

On their side, I am afraid that there has been a big change in mentality.

At first, they were hiding and wanted to wait for the other side's production line to be closed.

Now they see that their own big baby is so powerful! On the contrary, they want to force and lure the other side to continue working on the wrong route.

As long as the F22 production line has not completely become scrap copper and rotten iron, after the "Weilong" is unveiled, the option of "reorganization" will always appear in the other party's mind.

And it seems to be the most convenient and trouble-free

The information Zhou Rui obtained was not comprehensive, and the information Lin Guangrong obtained was the same. Maybe there were other considerations above.

Fake play and real play are all play.

The repeated cold gave me a surprise. I thought I was better yesterday, which caused my thoughts to be blocked. I was afraid that I would make more mistakes if I wrote more, so I only updated twice today.
