Pushing the envelope
Right now, the two of them are outside the crowd, and it is not normal for them to receive sudden commands. It is obvious that there is a remote control reason.
The risk factor of human control of robots is too high. Mu Qingyan didn't want to guess what tricks Dustin had played on his work. He just hoped that the "Intelligent Machine Crisis" would not happen on the spot.
Fortunately, the optical mirror dimmed after lighting up, and there was a buzzing sound as the axle rotated and the chain turned. The autonomous life form that was originally supporting Kinsley contracted and stretched, and turned into a simple wheelchair in a few seconds.
"Cool!" Kinsley praised.
Mu Qingyan watched the injured man sit firmly, and after confirming that everything was correct, he took out his cell phone and typed in a few commands.
"Everyone!" In the middle of the crowd, David raised his glass to attract everyone's attention and announced loudly:
"Tonight we have some special guests visiting my humble abode. I believe, even without further introduction, you should have heard of one of them—"
Mu Qingyan frowned.
Almost at the moment when the other person's eyes passed by here, she pushed the wheelchair beside her away with force.
Soon, she was alone in the sudden light.
"Yanyan!"
"Sit down! It's none of your business!"
After hearing the serious order, Kinsley, who originally wanted to rush over, hesitated for a long time, but in the end he could only obey and stood there anxiously.
Mu Qingyan closed her eyes to adjust to the dazzling brightness. Noisy discussions were already ringing in her ears, and she could almost feel how those people in front of her were pointing and talking.
"Everyone, please go and say hello. I think Miss Mu would be very happy to make friends with everyone. Thanks to my niece's kindness and good nature, she has put aside past grudges and is still treating her as a friend. So I hope everyone can put aside their prejudices and give Miss Mu a chance. After all, she still has a future in this industry! Miss Mu, am I right?"
There was laughter all around.
Mu Qingyan understood. Was this a scene where the elders were seeking justice for their children who had been wronged?
Before she could speak, and even before those who were not aware of the situation could react, the voice continued:
"Oh, and there's one more! Everyone knows my identity at Infinity. Even though I'm more than a generation older than our little boss, I can't find a single fault with Dustin. But! This Mr. York! Although he's nameless, he actually dared to publicly judge our Infinity CEO! Come! Let's all meet this 'otherworldly master' together!"
Not too far ahead, the lights came into focus again.
The sneers turned into laughter.
Mu Qingyan looked at York who was trapped in the crowd, and for once he felt the urge to kill everyone.
Made of high-purity titanium alloy and nanomaterials, a simple pull is enough for ordinary people to break free.
Now York was obviously being held hostage by two robots from behind. This was an intentional humiliation.
Shen Chuxuan beside him was obviously extremely anxious, but because the victim still looked calm and composed, he did not completely break up with the "good uncle".
"Isn't Mr. York very powerful? Why not try to make them let go?"
"What dares to touch Dustin's porcelain! You'll be trapped to death, haha--"
"Birds of a feather flock together! A mean and evil woman like Mu Qingyan deserves to have friends who only know how to talk big!"
"That's right!" "That's right! You're right!"
Those who watch the fun never think it’s too big to cause trouble. Not only Mu Qingyan, but even York himself hasn’t felt such strong malice for a long time.
——I still miss my own snowy mountains and forests...
"Ok, ok, just... calm down! It's just a small thing, can you guys not get so excited?"
He waved his hand helplessly.
Because his arms were restrained, the movements were a little funny.
Amidst the cheers, Dai Jinning gracefully stepped off the dance floor:
"Mr. York, you may not know this, but these are rare robots with remote control capabilities. They only follow their masters' instructions. So, what are your plans?"
Her voice seemed to carry some kind reminder and concern, but her expression said something completely different.
York nodded in agreement:
"I know...I know...Dustin's been so boring for a while now! Look, I was right, right? If there are some desperate people who want to use robots to do bad things, I'm afraid I'll have to visit him in prison with the blueprints in the future!"
It's a very sincere sigh, revealing a familiar relationship with the person being spoken to.
The whole audience fell silent immediately.
"The Optimus Prime series, as its name suggests, can transform its form at any time. Remote control is merely a feature added for a very small number of patients, but no matter what, it's still far from being able to bypass the "three laws" of the positron brain. Miss Dai, you're ordering it to harm me now. Are you trying to find a way to make it scrap so you can replace it with a new model? No way~"
Dai Jinning didn't say anything, but her expression showed a little more doubt and vigilance.
David immediately followed up:
"Mr. York? Why are you talking so much? You don't really intend to dance with these two robots—"
"The highest instruction—" York interrupted him with a few words, "Das Rheingold Act 4, Entry of the Gods into Valhalla."
The optical mirror lit up again amid the crowd's exclamations, passing across York's handsome face, which was already slightly displeased.
He added fuel to the fire again:
"Now, babies, let me go and, stay where you are."
The highest command and unique sound line are received by the audio capture device, and the sound wave vibration is converted into a spectrum diagram at an extremely fast speed and matched with the inherent pattern stored in the memory module to finally obtain an effective result.
The two autonomous life forms regained their consciousness, their robotic arms instantly retracted, and they respectfully stepped back and stood still.
"As you wish, Mr. Stanson."
When this name came out, it was like a bombshell.
Everyone present looked at the man in front of them with a cold face rubbing his arms, and couldn't even make a sound.
——Mr…Stanson…
This is the man who has been protecting Dustin all along, continuously overcoming countless robotics challenges, earning the trust of the decisive CEO, and who, despite holding an important position, is still allowed not to appear in public...
——Infinity’s famous Chief Technology Officer!
"Impossible... How could you be... You just happened to get lucky..."
——But...who else besides Dustin knows about that Prime Directive...
York ignored David Dai, who was staring at him blankly, and waved his hand in another direction with a serious look on his face.
"Hey Yan! How's it going? Do you need any help over there?"
"Need not."
"Oh! Then be gentle!"
--What? ? ?
Everyone's attention shifted to Mu Qingyan again.
David was almost furious and rushed towards the man:
"Ms. Mu, what on earth are you and your friends up to? Please stop it. My Dai family will not tolerate your outrageous behavior! Someone, come here! Someone!"
With this order, not only the shuttle service robots, but also the Dai family's bodyguards and servants came in one after another and surrounded Mu Qingqing.
It seemed as if a fight would break out if they disagreed.
"Father, don't do this—"
Dai Jinning came up to persuade him, but it was obvious that someone was already impulsive and didn't care about anything.
Mu Qingyan looked around, and his eyes, which had lost some of their warmth compared to before, slowly swept over, and no one dared to act rashly.
She raised her chin slightly and gestured:
"Kinsley, come here."
"yes!"
The big star finally got permission, and his legs seemed to no longer hurt. He ran towards her happily and was pulled behind her.
Then, Mu Qingyan took out his mobile phone leisurely.
"Dustin's work, right? The Optimus Prime series, right? I'd really like to know, after they disintegrate, can they really be restored like Transformers? K, come on!"
"Yes, Boss, we have successfully taken over remote control operation rights."
"You...you!" David's voice was trembling. "When did you..."
"Good question. I accidentally bumped into your robots when I came in, so I had to give them a big gift—"
Mu Qingyan pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a fake smile,
"You are welcome."
"Sizzle—"
“Bang, bang, bang—”
The various torques of the joints, the bearings sliding and unscrewing with a teeth-grinding sound.
The chains and clustered wires were torn apart, and the sparks caused reflected Mu Qingyan's increasingly gloomy expression. Everyone felt a hint of fear at the same time.
Various parts shattered to the ground in an instant. Even though they were mechanical bodies, the scene of bionic muscles and protoplasm being torn apart from the inside out was still very eye-catching.
——Does this count as murder?
The timid ones have already started to show weakness, apologize and ask for forgiveness.
"Ms. Mu... Mu... what do you want to do... please stop..."
Although they didn't know Mu Qingyan's identity, if this York was really Mr. Stanson, and the two were so close, everyone knew who would suffer in the end.
Mu Qingli ignored it.
"As expected, if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. Dustin alone is not enough, how come everyone below is following suit? Didn't I warn you? I hate people who push their luck the most."
There was no special tone in her words, but they released an icy sense of oppression for no reason.
Including Dai Jinning, no one could believe that this was the harmless Mu Qingyan.
"Yan...Yan! I'm sorry, it's my father's fault. Could you please——"
"Don't stop, keep going!"
Mu Qingyan didn't hear Dai Jinning's request at all.
"After you've disassembled it, send it to Infinity headquarters. I want to see if Dustin has the skills to restore what I've disassembled!"
This was almost tantamount to openly challenging Dustin.
This group of fans who had infinitely admired the robotics genius were finally deflated. They were all in high positions, but they could not imagine who had the confidence to challenge Dustin.
Just before the Dai family was about to despair, the main door of the villa was suddenly pushed open.
A young boy wearing a hooded sweatshirt appeared in everyone's sight, surrounded by a group of people in black.
