Everyone in the audience: "..."
The live broadcast room's comment board was also blank. After a while, accompanied by the sound of shock from the audience, the comment board also exploded in an instant.
“????”
“???”
“????”
“What the hell!!!”
"Is there something wrong with my eyes and ears?!"
“I suspect I’m still dreaming!!”
…
"This, this, this, this..." A judge pointed at Xiaobai on the stage with a shocked look on his face, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Is this true?!
Bai Zhi said calmly, "This is my work, the Qian Group's first product—the first-generation quantum intelligent robot. It will officially go on sale in three days. Please pay attention to the official Qian Group website. We'll be releasing a test video of the quantum intelligent robot on the official website in the next few days."
She swept her eyes over the crowd, pausing slightly at Sun Changdong and Sun Jiao, who were looking shocked and wide-eyed. Then, she looked away and pushed up her glasses.
Bai Zhi opened her arms, her eyes sparkling behind her gold-rimmed glasses, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and her hoarse, magnetic voice hummed like a devil.
"Everyone, welcome to the age of technology."
She didn't mention the era of intelligent robots because what she wants to do is much more than that.
The era of technology has arrived, and that will be Qian Baizhi's era.
But now, these people obviously haven't realized it yet.
Whether it is the people in the audience or on the stage, they don’t know what era they are about to step into. They also don’t know that their future lives, and even their children’s lives, and their children’s children’s lives, will be shrouded by a name, and that name is - Qian Baizhi.
At this moment, they are more concerned about what "Xiaobai" is, is it real or fake? What about quantum intelligent robots? Is it just a gimmick? Or has it really been born?
However, after Bai Zhi finished speaking, she strode off the stage, with Xiao Bai following behind her.
Xiaobai walks by sliding, but when Baizhi gets off the stage, it also needs to walk up the stairs, and everyone is watching it.
Xiaobai walked directly to the stairs, and the flat bottom suddenly rose up. Two mechanical legs extended from the bottom, and walked down the stairs like a human.
Then he lowered his body, retracted his mechanical feet, and continued to slide to catch up with Baizhi.
"Quick! Stop her!!" someone exclaimed.
In an instant, both the reporters and the audience rushed towards Bai Zhi.
Journalists wanted news, others saw business opportunities.
A business opportunity that can make them rich instantly!
Obviously, this news and business opportunity are about Xiaobai and Baizhi, and they can't let her leave!
Min Weixuan and ten bodyguards rushed over in an instant, surrounding Bai Zhi and Xiao Bai and providing tight protection.
"Please make way. If you have any questions, you can leave a message on the official website. We will have a press conference later!"
Yet these people did not listen.
Especially the reporters who came to film the design competition, all of them extended their microphones, and even connected to the live broadcast channel, throwing out questions one after another -
"Please wait a moment, Ms. Qian Baizhi, is everything you said true?!"
"What are quantum intelligent robots? Can they really do housework and take care of children? Can they really be used with confidence?"
"Who developed this? What kind of group is the Qian Group?"
"Ms. Qian Baizhi, please answer!"
"Are there really intelligent robots already?!"
…
Next to him, Min Weixuan heard this, tilted his head, and lowered his voice: "Hey, when will the Qian Group be available?"
"I registered yesterday."
"Official website?"
"I made it last night."
Min Weixuan: "...You are awesome."
A person who can build his own website anytime and anywhere and solve all problems is really awesome.
"Of course Xiaobai is real. Please move aside, Master Xiaobai wants to go back." Xiaobai's voice sounded, so cute.
A reporter turned the microphone and the camera to Xiaobai: "Besides sweeping the floor, can you really do other housework? Can you really think like a human?"
He didn't call it "Xiaobai". Many existing devices must be called by name before they will respond.
If the robot doesn't respond unless they call its name, there's obviously something wrong!
"Of course! Xiaobai can do a lot more!"
Its answers were clear, and it even turned its head to look at the person asking it the question, as if it had its own emotions and could even be unhappy.
"Dabai?" a reporter asked tentatively.
"My name is Xiaobai, not Dabai!!" Xiaobai looked at the reporter who spoke again.
It actually can understand!
It’s not as mechanical as other smart voice assistants!!
After Bai Zhi took out Xiaobai, it was like dropping a big bomb, shocking all the audience present and netizens outside the screen. Various shares and shocking remarks made the live broadcast link spread in an instant.
A large number of viewers instantly flooded into the live broadcast room of the design competition, but they were not there to see the designs, but to see the "newbies".
The organizers were still standing there in a daze.
A staff member nearby asked blankly, "Should we...continue the game?"
The person in charge turned pale.
What kind of competition is this?! Is anyone still watching?!
Their design competition this year is completely ruined!
Regardless of whether intelligent robots are real or fake, they will pay attention to robots, and no one will pay attention to their insignificant design competition!
Those reporters who came to take pictures are now like cats that smell blood. How can they care about anything else?
Aren’t those spectators now looking at Qian Baizhi and the others?
There were also netizens in the live broadcast room who filled up the screen, but not a single message was related to the design competition!
"How is that possible?!"
"Current technology is not yet capable of supporting intelligent home robots!"
"Yeah, it must be a gimmick. There's no news about it online, so how come there's suddenly an intelligent robot?"
"And who is this person? Can she create an intelligent robot? It's a gimmick, definitely a gimmick!"
"I agree. Many smart voice assistants can now communicate with people! Sweeping the floor? Oh, isn't it just a robot vacuum? Going down stairs? That's not difficult. It's not that smart, and it's definitely not something you can use at home!"
"I think it's real. Xiaobai is so smart!"
…
Most of the comments on the Internet are disbelieving.
Most of the people present at the scene either didn't believe it or were taking a wait-and-see attitude.
But for reporters, no matter which one it is, it is first-hand news now, so Qian Baizhi must not be allowed to leave!
Seeing that Qian Baizhi and Xiaobai were about to leave under the escort of bodyguards, the reporters became anxious and quickly held out their microphones, asking questions non-stop.
Baizhi didn't answer.
Min Weixuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied loudly: "We will have a press conference. If you have any questions, please ask them at the press conference. Please move aside. We are leaving now."
But how could those reporters just let them go like that?
One of the reporters was trying to squeeze forward, but he was tripped by someone and fell straight towards Baizhi. The camera in his hand also left his hand and flew towards Baizhi's head!
Danger!
"Be careful!" someone exclaimed.
Thinking they were about to see a bloody scene, some people closed their eyes.
However, the next scene made them open their eyes wide in shock.
——The "Xiaobai" that was just behind her had moved to Baizhi's side. One of its arms stretched out to support the fallen man! The other mechanical arm was raised high and caught the camera!
Although it is a robot, it is like a guardian angel at this moment, protecting Bai Zhi and preventing any danger from hurting her!
The most important thing is that it is obviously extremely strong, otherwise it would not be possible to hold up a falling person with one hand!
Quiet, extremely quiet.
This group of the most noisy reporters now quieted down.
The barrage also filled the screen.
It was at this time that Bai Zhi and Min Weixuan left with the bodyguards, and Xiaobai was still standing there.
Xiaobai exerted force with his hands, and the reporter who had just fallen stood up straight.
It placed the camera in the reporter's hand and said, "I'm returning your camera to you. Please be careful and don't hurt yourself or others."
"Xiaobai! Let's go." Baizhi's voice came.
"Hey, here I come, master, wait for Xiaobai!" After saying that, it glided away quickly. If there were people in front of it, it would move to the side and avoid them all. Soon, it and Baizhi and others disappeared from everyone's sight.
"boom--"
In an instant, the scene exploded and the screen was flooded with comments.
If that reporter wasn't a shill, then...
Intelligent robots actually appeared!!!
Baizhi and Min Weixuan just came to take the opportunity to "advertise". As for the design competition, haha, what does it have to do with Baizhi?
Anyway, in the original world, it was Sun Jiao who won the award. Bai Zhi didn't feel guilty at all for affecting Sun Jiao's winning.
They took the opportunity to leave the reporters behind and hurried away, but not without some catching up with them.
"Qian Baizhi!!" a voice shouted from behind.
When Bai Zhi heard the voice, she did not speed up but stopped instead.
"Are you not leaving? We need to leave quickly, otherwise we'll be stuck again." Min Weixuan said hurriedly.
Bai Zhi: "Don't worry, the person who came is an acquaintance."
Although he was talking about acquaintances, the smile on his face was full of sarcasm and indifference.
The two people who caught up walked forward quickly. Bai Zhi turned around and the three of them were face to face.
——The people who came were Sun Changdong and Sun Jiao.
"Qian Baizhi, you..." Sun Jiao opened her mouth.
In fact, she was still in shock and her mind was blank.
She just caught up with him and followed his movements, a subconscious action.
Sun Changdong stepped forward excitedly: "Baizhi, is this quantum intelligent robot of yours real?!"
"Of course it's true. If it's not true, can I sell it?" Bai Zhi replied indifferently.
Sun Changdong became even more excited. He looked at Xiaobai with excitement on his face. "Baizhi, this is a great opportunity! Tell Uncle Sun, who created this? What's the situation now? How did you get involved?"
——If Baizhi is not the one who created Xiaobai, then these are trade secrets.
——But he asked it so bluntly, as if he was sure she would tell him.
Bai Zhi: "I made it myself."
Sun Changdong was stunned.
Sun Jiao immediately retorted: "Impossible! How could you possibly be a robot?!"
She couldn't believe how Qian Baizhi, who had nothing and was despised and rejected by everyone, could possibly create something like this?!
"How can I let you know whether I will do it or not?" Bai Zhi looked at Sun Jiao with a smile on her lips.
Sun Jiao's pupils shrank, and the disbelief on her face became more and more obvious.
What's the meaning?
And why is her smile so strange?
Qian Baizhi...changed?
Or... is she really like this? And all this was just a disguise?!
How is that possible?!
"Let's go." Bai Zhi and Min Weixuan said, turning around.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Sun Changdong called Bai Zhi again, his face full of smiles. "Bai Zhi, there are some misunderstandings between you, Jiaojiao, and Uncle Sun. Let's get together and talk. Jiaojiao told me that you dropped out of school, and I was very angry. I even went to the school to find the leader for you, but you had already left, and I couldn't find you. I was so worried. I'm glad to see you. If you want to go back to school, I'll help you."
Bai Zhi looked at him without saying anything.
Sun Changdong still had a smile on his face: "Let's go to Uncle Sun's house for dinner and have a good chat."
He stretched out his hand, trying to pull Baizhi away.
This self-evident attitude, even if it was just flattery, was condescending, as if he firmly believed that Bai Zhi would not refuse.
Bai Zhi took a step back and made way.
Sun Changdong paused his hand in mid-air, looking at her, then a look of dejection appeared on his face: "Is Baizhi angry? It's Uncle Sun's fault for not noticing your situation, Baizhi. Don't worry..."
Bai Zhi: "You have good taste."
Sun Changdong was stunned, not knowing why Bai Zhi suddenly said this.
"You've seen the business opportunity in quantum intelligent robots, so you can't wait to build a relationship with me and seize the initiative to see if it's profitable."
She looked at him with such a cold gaze that he subconsciously took a step back.
Her hoarse voice sounded like a devil—
"It's just like what happened to my parents. When I see opportunities in others and know their future is bright, I try to find a way... to make it my own."
Sun Changdong was stunned and took a few steps back again. His body swayed, his eyes widened, and his face was filled with shock.
Bai Zhi sneered and turned away.
Only Sun Changdong and Sun Jiao were left there.
"She knows, she knows everything!" Sun Changdong murmured, his voice filled with panic.
"What did you know? Dad? What's wrong with you?" Sun Jiao was a little anxious and quickly supported Sun Changdong.
Sun Changdong gradually came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "It's okay, don't worry about it."
That was his secret, and he thought no one would know it in this lifetime, but Bai Zhi's attitude just now clearly told him that she knew!
"Dad, can Qian Baizhi really make an intelligent robot? What is going on?" Sun Jiao said in a hurried voice.
She was really shocked.
Qian Baizhi, who had been kicked out of the business school and was supposed to have nothing and live a miserable life, suddenly appeared with a "quantum intelligent robot" after disappearing for a while?
Sun Jiao was confused, and at the same time, an inexplicable fear rose in her heart.
Sun Changdong shook his head. "I don't know either, but if it truly is an intelligent robot that surpasses current technology, then... it would be a terrifyingly huge fortune..."
He originally thought that no matter whether it was true or not, he would first stabilize Bai Zhi and find out the truth from her to see if he could get involved and gain some benefits.
But what Bai Zhi said frightened him and made him speechless.
"Dad, I don't believe it. If a high-tech product like a robot really exists, what does it have to do with Qian Baizhi? A poor person like her who has nothing, how could she..." Sun Jiao shook her head, unwilling to believe that the robot was developed by Baizhi.
Sun Changdong didn't say anything, but held Sun Jiao's hand tightly. After a while, he let out a long breath and said -
"Yes, you're right. It might not be as advanced as she says. Maybe it's just a gimmick... Let's find someone to investigate immediately. We need to get the latest information as soon as possible!"
Is it true or a gimmick?
Not only Sun Changdong is investigating, many big capitals are also investigating this matter.
There was even more uproar online—
"Fuck! These intelligent robots are real!"
"Ahh, my family needs it so much!"
"Fuck, Xiaobai is so cute, I love it!! Are there still three days left? I must buy one!!"
"…Why are you in such a hurry? We're still unsure whether it's true or not."
"It must be fake, a gimmick, absolutely a gimmick!"
"Yes, I think it's fake too. If a big capital came up with a product like this, I would have reluctantly believed it. But the Qian Group was just registered, haha."
"I think it's real! That robot seems really human-like, and it can even respond to unexpected situations. If the reporter hadn't fallen down and been caught by the robot... Ahhh, just for this, I'm buying it!!"
"The ones in front are water army, right? What if they're shills? These days, some poor people will do anything for money. They're making such a big fuss, just to scam some money and run away, making a killing."
…
There was a heated debate online about whether it was real or fake. After the live broadcast of the design competition was edited, only the part about Bai Zhi was left. It spread wildly online and many people watched it repeatedly.
Some people looked at it with disdain, while others were very excited.
That design competition started off well but ended badly because no one paid attention to what happened to Qian Baizhi's quantum intelligent robot.
The only video circulating is the one about Bai Zhi.
The organizers were angry and helpless.
Those who were at the scene all left in shock. Some people believed it because they were there, and they believed it without a doubt.
Some people, however, expressed absolute disbelief.
Especially Sun Jiao's classmates from the Business School, they all expressed online -
"It's fake! If someone else had said it, I might have believed it. But Qian Baizhi? Haha."
"Qian Baizhi was a student at the business school, a poor orphan who was able to attend because of financial support. And now, she's hooking up with her sponsor's boyfriend!"
"Our entire business school hates Qian Baizhi, and we even expelled her from the school."
"She's incredibly shameless. Who knows what such a shameless person could do when she runs out of money?"
"Yes, and she was kicked out of the business school just over a month ago. This must be a scam. Hurry and expose it. Everyone, be careful and don't let her cheat you out of your money."
"I was there at the time. Qian Baizhi was in such a hurry to leave that she didn't even show anything. There was obviously something wrong!"
…
Because of the attitude of the business school students, the public opinion on the Internet gradually changed, and most of the netizens who were originally excited became unconvinced.
The few who still hold a credible attitude are still staying on the Qian Group’s official website, waiting for news.
"Xiaobai has come out, and they still don't believe it?!" Min Weixuan was shocked.
Bai Zhi remained calm: "Among those disbelieving voices, not all of them are unconvinced. Capital is truly adept at manipulating public opinion."
"What's the meaning?"
Bai Zhi kept fingering: "There is capital pushing us. Regardless of whether we are competitors or not, as long as they don't seek benefits, the wind will definitely not swing in our direction."
Especially Sun Changdong, she just didn't believe that he wouldn't do something.
"Ah, what should we do now?" Min Weixuan was a little anxious. He stood up and turned around in place.
The world's fear of big capital seems to be engraved in its hearts.
Bai Zhi chuckled, "Don't worry, they can't stop me. No one can resist the temptation of someone like Xiaobai. They will know that even the omnipotent capital has to give way in the face of world-changing technology."
Next to him, the robot Xiaobai immediately spoke up—
"Yes, Xiaobai is very cute, they will all like Xiaobai!"
Min Weixuan looked at it and the calm Bai Zhi, and his heart felt at ease again.
Don't panic, he has already experienced how awesome Baizhi is.
At this time, Bai Zhi sent out the message in her hand, and the Qian Group's official website, which was followed by countless people, sent out a message -
The official launch event will be held in three days, and will be live-streamed on the official website. Media members and netizens can attend in person or watch the event online. Sales will also begin on the same day, and quantities are limited, so please grab yours now.
This very official statement immediately caused controversy on the Internet as soon as it was released.
"Dad, why should we let people lead the conversation and say it's fake?" Sun Jiao hesitated.
At first, she was also adamant that it couldn't be true, but Bai Zhi was so confident that she actually held a press conference and even invited the media and netizens to attend, as if she had nothing to fear and was not afraid of exposing anything.
Moreover, the official website releases a video every three hours, all of which are of the robot Xiaobai, cooking, sweeping the floor, folding quilts, etc. It can do everything!
Sun Jiao actually believed it in her heart.
The suspicion is directed at Qian Baizhi, not the existence of intelligent robots.
If Sun Changdong hadn't been having people leading the trend online, most people would have probably believed it and started looking forward to the so-called quantum intelligent robot.
Even with so many internet trolls leading the charge, many people still expressed their willingness to "wait and see" and "believe it".
Sun Changdong was still texting with someone. He paused and looked at Sun Jiao. "Jiaojiao, you're Daddy's only daughter. I was afraid you'd go astray, so I never told you these things before. But now that you've grown up, there are some things Daddy feels it's necessary to let you know."
"What?" Sun Jiao was stunned.
"Competition in the business world is bloody. Capital and money represent everything, including power and interests. So for the sake of money, you can do anything!" Sun Changdong said in a cold voice.
Sun Jiao nodded when she heard this. "Yes, Dad, I know, but what does this have to do with stirring up trouble online?"
"If no one believes it's real, will they still buy it? An intelligent robot like this is definitely not cheap. It's going to cost hundreds of thousands, even millions. It's not cheap, and coupled with the online distrust..."
Sun Jiao's eyes lit up: "Then the sales of Qian Baizhi's intelligent robot will be very limited!"
"Yes, according to the information we found, her investor is a demolition household. How much money can he have? Without good sales, they simply cannot support the expenses, even for a short period of time." Sun Changdong said firmly.
Sun Jiao: "Then we can take advantage of this opportunity to seize the quantum intelligent robot!"
Sun Changdong smiled and tapped his daughter: "What do you mean by robbing? Our family has taken care of Qian Baizhi for so many years. When she encounters difficulties, we will definitely continue to take care of her and help her."
Sun Jiao understood and smiled knowingly.
Sun Changdong: "We will have to contact Qian Baizhi next. You must hide your dislike for her."
"Don't worry, Dad. I know what's most important!"
"If necessary, you can still ask your boyfriend to take action."
When Sun Jiao heard this, her lips pouted.
Sun Changdong smiled and said, "What are you worried about? If you stand with Qian Baizhi, will Gao Ze be attracted to her? It's just a trick."
"That's right. A poor guy like Qian Baizhi will never be able to turn his life around in this life!" Sun Jiao was happy again.
The father and daughter calculated, their faces full of smiles.
The much-anticipated quantum intelligent robot launch conference will officially begin three days later.
Countless media reporters flocked to the scene.
Netizens watched it through live broadcast.
Bai Zhi appeared again with Xiaobai, Min Weixuan, and ten bodyguards.
The place they chose was not a stage usually used for press conferences, but an interior built from prefabricated buildings, according to the proportions of the interior design that Baizhi had presented in the design competition.
A design that is most suitable for intelligent robots.
As soon as the press conference started, countless microphones were handed over.
“Excuse me, are quantum intelligent robots real or fake?”
"Can machines really do housework and take care of children? Can we really trust machines?"
"What is the price of a quantum intelligent robot? Is it really worth the high price?"
“Are those test videos actually just fictional videos, as claimed online?”
"Qian Baizhi, can you, having been kicked out of business school and never having studied artificial intelligence, really create a quantum intelligent robot in just over a month?"
"Or is this just a scam?"
…
Question after question seems to be an inquiry, but in fact it is more like a doubt, which can further aggravate the audience's original distrust.
Min Weixuan was anxious to refute, but Bai Zhi reached out to stop him, looked at the camera, and said calmly -
"You three journalist friends can come out and experience it for yourself."
She just stood there, calm and composed, making people trust and identify with her unconsciously.
"How is the experience?" The reporters were stunned.
"You nominate three people first. In order to prevent you from questioning me again, you nominate yourselves and we will not participate." She pushed her glasses and spoke slowly and calmly.
