Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 752 - 287: Difficulty and Attitude_2
But overall, the breakthroughs made by the Huaxia in robotics technology deserve vigilance. I believe you've seen the video of Dou Dou; our experts have analyzed it, and it's hard to imagine how its movements and reactions can be so... well, "vivid" might be the word to describe them.
You should know that in many videos, it uses multiple robotic arms to perform actions simultaneously without interfering with each other. The technical content here is very high. Even Boston Dynamics has yet to achieve such fluidity for the time being.
All right, first of all, our artificial intelligence is actually in the lead and has even touched the threshold of the world model, but we must admit, in the adaptation to robotics this time, Huaxia has moved ahead; so, we desperately need relevant technology, very much so.
Romand, you can't even begin to imagine how big this market is. Of course, it's more than just a market, as we all know that this technology will rewrite the logic of future warfare, especially ground combat.
So no matter what it takes, Langley must find a way for us to master this complete set of technologies. We and our allies control the world's most advanced chip production lines and high-end manufacturing capabilities; there is no reason for us to fall behind in this crucial area, don't you think?"
Romand Willi remained silent.
He certainly knew about Dou Dou; he even knew that Huaxia had launched a major research project on a deep-sea unmanned fleet exploration system.
He was also aware that not only Langley, but various other intelligence departments and even many departments of their allies, were closely monitoring and excavating information in this area. However, until now, there was not much known, and the vast majority of the intelligence obtained was just various technical deductions.
Did these people think that everyone was being too modest, so they all wanted others to obtain more detailed stuff first?
If he could find a way to get this intelligence, would he still be contending with a material model up to this point?
When would these big shots stop being so childish?
"Sir, this isn't a matter of what we want or don't want. Please believe me, I understand more clearly just how precious artificial intelligence coupled with robot technology is. But first, we have to consider the technical aspects. As I've been saying all along, the Huaxia aren't stupid...
No, in fact, they're even clearer than we are about what kind of juncture they are facing at this moment. To maintain their current advantageous industries, they would do anything. For these reasons, what you're suggesting is virtually an impossible mission at this stage. At least I don't think Langley has that capability right now!"
After thinking for a long time, Romand Willi finally spoke his carefully chosen words.
He knew he couldn't accept this task.
A material model had already made him feel like he was stuck in the mire. Although he couldn't find evidence, his sixth sense told him that from beginning to end, nothing was simple.
What's important is that before, he held onto the idea of achieving more through his merits. But now his thoughts had totally changed.
At this moment, Romand Willi only wanted to lie low and wait for his replacement to let him leave, so he could go on to do something more interesting; that was his pursuit.
So any prospective pitfall situation, he decided not to bother with. Especially those related to that person from Huaxia.
Before, Romand Willi believed that everyone had weaknesses, and he had thought about how to exploit them.
But as more hidden information became available, and the experts provided increasingly detailed profiles of this scientific titan, Romand Willi began to doubt whether this young man was even human, or to put it another way, whether he possessed normal human thought patterns.
In more than a year, he had come across many critical junctures, but Qiao Ze's choices had always been far from normal.
Moreover, although Qiao Ze was only in his twenties, you couldn't see even a speck of the youthful vitality expected in a young person. His way of doing things was even more conservative than the older people. Although he achieved quite a lot, public information about him was pitifully scarce, spending most of his time reclusive in a small building.
According to reliable information, he once maintained a schedule of 103 days without a day off, no entertainment, no vacations, and even avoided contact with people outside his research institute.
His lifestyle was devoid of any bad habits, no drinking, no smoking, no gaming, and it's said that he refused any conversation during meals. Even his rare interactions with outsiders indicated an intense purposefulness, practically severing all ineffective social ties.
Perhaps the most frightening part was that, living in this age of technology, this young man seemingly had no public accounts on any social media apps apart from the necessary private messaging apps and educational websites.
Romand Willi even wanted to find someone to agree with him: is this even human?
The only thing that seemed human about him was his hope for his mentor to become an academician at the Science Academy, and his character trait of seeking retribution for every slight.
For these reasons, Romand Willi did not want to have any more unnecessary contact with someone like Qiao Ze.
If he had known that the reason for today's meeting was this, Romand Willi might have even opted to take a leave of absence instead of showing up.
"No, Romand, you're overcomplicating things. On the contrary, we all believe that if there is any department in the world that can take on this task, it must undoubtedly be Langley. This is an opportunity to show off your capabilities, just like with the material model situation; you guys did a good job.
And the task might not be as difficult as you imagine. As far as I know, professors from Princeton have been working in that man's office and stayed for nearly two weeks, which suggests that there certainly is a way, don't you think?"
