I really just want to be a scholar

As the saying goes, "Ten years of hard work sharpen a sword, only one day can it be tested", three days later, the "Spark-Teacher Edition" robot easily made a splash in Xiaoxiao and Zhengzheng's primary school classroom.

He has a human-like appearance, intelligence close to LV4, can speak various local slangs of Xia Country, has a gentle and patient personality, and his teaching methods and approaches combine the advantages of more than excellent teachers. He is also good at teaching all subjects in primary and secondary schools...

The outstanding performance of the "Spark-Teacher Edition" robot completely shocked the teachers and students who were watching on the spot. The invited representatives of the Parent-Teacher Association and reporters from Renren Daily were also stunned.

Many people have fantasized about the era when AI robots will arrive, but they never thought that this day would come so soon, and that it would first set off a new technological wave in the education sector!

That afternoon, Renren Daily quickly published a press release titled "A great invention that can change the world's education is born! Academician Qin Ke's latest achievement, the "Spark-Teacher Edition" robot, performs amazingly!" on its website, Weibo, WeChat official account and other media channels. The press release vividly described the performance of the "Spark-Teacher Edition" robot and included a video of the entire process, in which Qin Ke personally made a three-minute speech.

The influence of "Renren Daily" in Xia Country is exaggerated, not to mention that it also contains an extremely eye-catching keyword "Academician Qin Ke".

Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun have rarely appeared in front of the media in recent days. On the one hand, it is because both of them no longer like to be in the spotlight, and on the other hand, it is to allow Ning Qingjun to concentrate on her pregnancy.

Especially at Qin Ke's instruction, the media dared not disturb the two anymore, causing Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun, the academician couple with countless fans who have always attracted the world's attention, to not appear in any news media for several months.

So within less than twenty minutes after the news was released, related terms such as "Academician Qin's latest invention", "Academician Qin Ke finally showed up", "The awesome AI robot", and "The unparalleled mountain village robot teacher" quickly topped the hot search list.

At the beginning of the video, Qin Ke made a brief speech, mainly focusing on why this topic should be studied, the main application scenarios of the "Spark-Teacher Edition" robot, etc. Before the robot gave a trial lesson, Qin Ke also selected two elementary school students and had a short interaction with the robot.

In such a short three-minute video showing the face, there were more than ten thousand comments.

[As expected of Academician Qin, if he doesn’t make a move, it’s fine, but once he does, it’s a king bomb! ]

[It’s amazing. Apart from its appearance, it can be seen that it is a robot. Its behavior and speech are almost the same as those of a human. If this “teacher” wore a mask and gloves to teach me, I would never know that it is a robot! ]

[Just now, the elementary school student almost fell down when he walked down the platform, but the robot teacher reacted instantly and was able to hold him up in time! This reaction speed is really amazing! ]

[The key is that it is so patient and gentle when it speaks. I wish I had a teacher like this when I was in school. I lived under the teacher's roar and scolding back then... Just thinking about it makes me psychologically traumatized.]

[This should be the most amazing robot ever, right? My god, the way it threaded a needle and sewed buttons on children's clothes was just amazing! It took only 20 seconds to complete the whole process from threading a needle to sewing buttons! Can this teaching robot also work part-time as a childcare teacher? ]

[I announce in advance that the era in which AI robots in movies will be integrated into thousands of households is coming soon! ]

[You guys are looking at the robot, I am looking at Academician Qin. Oh my god, Academician Qin must be over 30 years old, right? How come he is younger and more handsome than a current college student like me? ]

[Nonsense, Academician Qin is always young and handsome, and Academician Ning is always young and beautiful. Isn't this universally acknowledged? How dare you compare yourself with Academician Qin? ]

[It's incredible. Zhiying is already considered an ageless male god, but he is still a small witch compared to Academician Qin. I just compared it with the video of Academician Qin receiving an award when he was still a college student more than ten years ago. His appearance has hardly changed compared to now, except that his temperament is more stable.]

[Not just Academician Qin, have you seen the video of Academician Ning presenting the "Ning Qingyun Mathematics Award" and "Ning Qingyun Physics Award" two years ago? Academician Ning's figure and appearance have not changed much compared to when she was in college. She is still pure and beautiful. Who can believe that she is already a mother of two children? ]

[It is said that they are studying the biological topic of the origin of "aging". Maybe this "ageless face" is also part of their research results. I envy you. I wonder when they will publish these research results? ]

[Hey, is your discussion topic too off topic? This is Academician Qin’s teacher robot demonstration video! ]

[I am curious whether this teaching robot has been mass-produced? Will it only be used for teaching in mountainous areas in the future? Can my small third-tier county introduce it? To be honest, the teaching level here is hard to describe...]

[That's right, I strongly recommend that this policy be promoted in all primary and secondary schools across the country! This way, you don't have to buy school district housing! ]

[It's hard. Such a great robot must cost more than one million, right? Only wealthy private high schools can afford to introduce it. Where do ordinary public schools get the funds to introduce it? ] The dense barrage of comments and the rapidly growing number of comments below made the news that "Academician Qin has developed an amazing teacher robot" spread across the country in a very short time, and quickly spread to the world!
The direction of "education" has always been an area of ​​concern to the whole nation, not to mention this great invention that is likely to change the future of the entire education sector?

Media outlets around the world heard the news and applied to Renren Daily for the right to translate and reprint news at high prices. Stock markets in various countries became agitated as a result. Concept stocks of "AI" and "robots" soared, and discussions about this "Spark-Teacher Edition" robot were rampant on international forums and social media platforms.

Ordinary people are concerned about the high-level teaching ability of the "Spark-Teacher Edition" robot, but political and business leaders from various countries are concerned about the development momentum and application potential of Xiaguo's AI robots.

After all, this AI robot can be a teacher, so it is likely to be a housekeeper or even a steel warrior...

Just when the bigwigs of various countries were casting nervous and anxious eyes on Academician Qin Ke of the Xia country, Qin Ke posted a message on Weibo that he would hold a press conference, which immediately attracted the attention of countless people and made the seats for this press conference even harder to get than the concert tickets of the most popular stars.

Except for the teachers and students representatives of Qingmu University who are lucky enough to have a certain number of seats, everyone else can only use their own abilities to fight for seats.

The auditorium of Qingmu University was packed with people. In addition to dignitaries from the political and business circles of Beijing, representatives of teachers and students from Qingmu University, most of the people there were reporters from all over the world.

Qin Ke, dressed in casual clothes, stood on the stage and talked freely:

“Thank you for your attention to the Spark-Teacher Edition robot. The original intention of this research project is very simple, that is, to enable those children in mountainous areas who can only receive simple educational resources to have the ‘wings’ to pursue their dreams and change their destiny…”

As he spoke, the big screen behind him automatically played images of the current educational situation of children in the mountainous areas.

Now, most mountainous areas, even small villages deep in the mountains, have "Green Lemon Primary Schools". Children can wear clean and tidy school uniforms and sit in bright classrooms for classes. Textbooks, stationery, breakfast and lunch are all provided by the school. However, these basic material conditions have been met, but it does not mean that they can enjoy the same educational resources as those outside the mountains...

When the audience saw that there was a mountain village school with dozens of students, ranging from elementary school students to junior high school students, but there were only three undergraduates who had just graduated from normal schools serving as teachers, they were all silent.

These three young teachers, who seem to have not yet gotten rid of their childishness, are responsible for all courses in all grades, including Chinese, mathematics, English, physical education, social sciences, music, art, physics, biology, and chemistry. Each student's situation is different, and unexpected situations may occur from time to time, which makes these three young teachers very anxious...

"Often, sitting in the classroom for a whole day, children can only hear one lesson that belongs to them...Isn't it hard to imagine?"

Qin Ke's voice echoed in the silent auditorium: "Despite such simple conditions, these small village schools across the country have sent more than 500,000 high school students to county towns and 130,000 college students to various universities in the past 15 years."

“This is because the children work really hard! They work ten times harder than the city kids!”

"They cherish their classes every day. After school, the city kids go to the playground, watch movies, play games, and travel around to broaden their horizons during holidays, while the mountain kids just bury their heads in textbooks because they know that only reading can get them out of the mountains and make the village where their ancestors have lived for generations more prosperous and beautiful in the future..."

"In the past few years, Qingjun and I have visited many mountain village schools. The scenes we have witnessed have moved and saddened us. Why do these children in the mountains have to work ten times harder than their peers in the city just because they are born in different places? Even in the end, they may not even get one-third of the university admission rate of their peers in the city?"

"So Qingjun and I decided to break this problem of extreme imbalance in educational resources and give those children in the mountain villages who may not be able to eat McDonald's or Ken's for the first time until they are 20 years old more opportunities to change their destiny. This is how the research project of the 'Spark-Teacher Edition' robot was established, and today's results were achieved!"

There was thunderous applause from the audience!

"I've seen many people online suggesting that the 'Spark-Teacher Edition' robot should be promoted nationwide. Sorry, we really can't do that for now. First, the production capacity is limited, and second, the cost is really not cheap. Moreover, even in a small third-tier county, as long as you want to learn, there are plenty of learning resources online, and there are enough teachers to ask for advice if you don't understand. So we can only give priority to placing these mountain village robot teachers in various mountain primary schools..."

"It is a remarkable achievement that every mountain primary school has a mountain village robot teacher within ten years."

"As for using it in other fields? I guess it will take ten years before we consider it... Thank you everyone!" (End of this chapter)
