There was a Red Flag sedan parked outside the door. Seeing Zhong Yuxiu coming, the person in the car pushed the door and got out. It was Yan Rushan, followed by an old man and two young men in guard uniforms. Zhong Yuxiu stepped forward quickly.
Yan Rushan took the initiative to introduce: "Comrade Zhong, this is my grandfather Yan Guofeng; Grandpa, she is Comrade Zhong Yuxiu I told you about. She is very outstanding."
Yan Guofeng has a square face, drooping eyelids and deep, vicissitudes eyes, as if hiding many stories; even in plain clothes, he cannot conceal his majesty. An old man who has experienced war will unconsciously reveal a bit of majesty.
"Comrade Zhong Yuxiu, hello."
"Hello, Mr. Yan, thank you for taking this trip. Let's talk slowly when we get home." His brows were calm, but his eyes were filled with deep scrutiny.
Yan Guofeng said the same thing, "Sorry to bother you."
"It's not a bother." Zhong Yuxiu fished out the key from her pocket, opened the gate, and said sideways, "Mr. Yan, please come in. Comrade Yan, please come in."
Yan Guofeng glanced at his grandson, whose expression froze for a moment, and laughed inwardly, "Thank you, Comrade Zhong."
A group of three walked in front, followed closely by two guards, who entered the yard and closed the door.
In the main room.
Goudan sensed that Zhong Yuxiu had returned, and there were other people with her. Following his master's instructions, he did not go out to greet them immediately, but was busy in the kitchen, pretending that the people outside did not exist.
"Mr. Yan, please take a seat. Comrade Yan, please take a seat as well." Zhong Yuxiu waved her hand, motioning for the two to sit down.
"Don't be polite, just be casual." Yan Rushan helped the old man sit down in the upper seat, while he sat down at the lower seat and gave a look to the two guards who followed him.
The two guards nodded, left the main room and went to guard the courtyard.
"Comrade Zhong, can you please call two robots out? My grandfather wants to see them."
Zhong Yuxiu turned her gaze towards the old man. Yan Guofeng nodded slightly. "I heard from Rushan that the robot you developed is amazing. I'd like to see it with my own eyes. Is that convenient?"
"Okay." Zhong Yuxiu called outside, "Goudan, a guest has arrived. Bring two bowls of water. Have the little robot come over as well."
When Goudan walked out of the kitchen, the two guards stared at him with wide eyes; behind Goudan followed a small robot, about 1.4 meters tall.
Is this the research we're looking at today? It's truly impressive.
Goudan walked to the main room. His 1.78-meter-tall figure blocked the sunlight, casting a shadow over the room. A pair of robotic arms held a wooden tray, placed it on the table, and then stood motionless beside Zhong Yuxiu. The small robot did the same.
Each person received a bowl of water. After distributing them, Zhong Yuxiu said, "Master Yan, these are robots. They have sensing functions and the ability to automatically recharge, so they can easily perform daily tasks. Their chips are specially made by me, and they have instructions to obey their masters' commands. Once they are named, they will only have one master in their lifetime."
"How can they be sure that you are their master?" Old Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a sharp look hidden in them.
"I set up fingerprint, voice locks and sensors for them to identify people. The fingerprint and voice settings can forcibly bind them to their owners, while the sensors can identify directions, people and objects."
"Why do you want to be a robot?" Old Yan's eyes were dark and deep, staring at the person.
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled gracefully, "Don't worry about Mr. Yan making fun of you. My original intention of making a robot was to be lazy. Comrade Yan should know that I can't cook, and I can never learn it no matter how hard I try."
"Yeah." Yan Rushan nodded slightly.
"I have a heavy academic workload right now. Every day I'm either in class or in the library. Time is precious to me. To avoid wasting time on daily chores, I decided to make a robot. Initially, I just wanted a robot that could help out. Eventually, I developed these things and created the robots I have today. They can take care of my daily life, so I no longer have to spend time on chores or have to go to the school cafeteria for every meal."
With Goudan, she has an all-round nanny.
"That's true. Comrade Zhong works very hard." This is also the current situation of students in the school, who absorb knowledge like sponges eagerly.
Old Yan couldn't help but re-examine the young girl in front of him. How smart must her mind be to independently research scientific and technological achievements that surpass those at home and abroad?
"Comrade Zhong Yuxiu, could you demonstrate it for us?"
"Of course." Zhong Yuxiu turned to the two robots with a smile, her pale pink lips parted. "Goudan, collect the bowls."
Goudan walked forward silently, put the three bowls of water in front of them on the tray, turned around and left.
"Goudan, come back and put the bowl down."
Goudan turned around and put the tray on the table again.
Zhong Yuxiu turned her gaze and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Yan?"
"Very good." Yan Guofeng nodded solemnly. "I heard you talk about sensors and chips before. I understand sensors, but what are chips?"
"Little robot, come here." The robot stepped forward, beeped twice, and then stopped. Zhong Yuxiu opened the robot's belly and took out a chip connected by many wires. "This is the chip. It's their central nervous system. All their actions and commands are based on the program in the chip. Without the chip, the robot would be brainless, just like us humans."
Yan Guofeng frowned and pondered for a moment, finding it inconceivable; but he could barely understand it, "Will they develop their own consciousness?"
"No, they are dead."
It would be better if he were dead.
"I need to take them away." Not discussing it with her, but telling her.
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head, "Mr. Yan, I can't give them all to you. I can only give you the small robot. I have a use for the big one, so I won't agree to give it to you or to the higher-ups." Goudan's chip is different from the small robot.
Yan Guofeng remained calm and silent, and the atmosphere was silent.
"Grandpa, these are Comrade Zhong's research results. Comrade Zhong left behind one that has its own uses, and we can't take them all. If we need research, one is enough." Yan Rushan spoke up to help.
"The research is my achievement, and I have the right to decide whether they stay or go." Zhong Yuxiu remained calm and did not care about the aura surging from Yan Guofeng; she had seen many big scenes, so this was nothing.
Yan Guofeng softened his tone and said, "You don't have the ability to protect it."
If spies from other countries knew about it, they would definitely find ways to steal it.
"I don't have the ability to protect it, but I installed a self-destruct program and device for it. Once someone tries to steal it, it will explode and destroy everything." She didn't set up the little robot, it was something to be given away; the Goudan chip was built-in.
"Self-destruction?"
Zhong Yuxiu said seriously, "Yes, Goudan has a self-destruct device. When it self-destructs, its own circuits collide with each other to generate an electric current. When the current accumulates to a certain level, it will explode. Once the program is activated, it cannot be changed or interrupted. It is mandatory."
Goudan's battery has a large capacity and self-destruct is turned on, so exploding twice is not a problem.
"In that case..." Old Yan stared at Goudan for a long time before relenting, "You can stay."
