Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"Is this kind of artificial skin easy to process? Can it achieve seamless coverage? Can it be processed on a part like the human face, which has a complex structure and rich expressions?"

"The bionic skin we developed is in a fluid state at high temperatures and can be cast as a whole, coated on the surface, or 3D printed. As long as there is 3D data of the face, it is no problem to process a human skin mask in a novel. However, this is not real human skin after all, and it lacks ductility and adhesion. After wearing it, the expression will look a little unnatural."

Qiao Ruida carefully looked at the artificial skin in his hand, and a somewhat crazy idea suddenly popped up. If this idea could be realized, he could go to Sweden "in person" to receive the Nobel Prize and give the person behind it a little surprise.

"So if I want to cover a humanoid robot with a layer of artificial skin to completely imitate a human, can I do it?"

"Well, I'm not sure about this. I have to try it out before I know. Mr. Qiao, you should know that there is an uncanny valley effect when making humanoid robots. I don't know if our artificial skin and processing technology can get through the uncanny valley and achieve the goal of being indistinguishable from the real thing." This time, the researcher did not make a promise, but said that he would give an answer only after trying it out. For a rigorous scientific researcher, such an answer is normal.

"Okay, I'll send a robot over in two days, and you guys can try to cover its surface with a layer of artificial skin. I'll send you the 3D data of the face later."

After leaving the Reda Institute, Qiao Ruida returned to his laboratory, turned on a large 3D scanner, and then took off his coat and pants, standing on the scanning table wearing only a set of underwear. As the green scanning light scanned back and forth, a 3D model of Qiao Ruida himself gradually appeared on the computer screen, with the height, body shape, and even facial contours, exactly the same. Qiao Ruida packaged the 3D data obtained from the scan and sent a copy to the artificial skin laboratory, and then gave the data to Jarvis, who operated the smart factory to customize a robot with similar height and body shape.

One evening half a month later, Du Qingqing was curled up on the sofa in her living room, watching a boring holographic TV program. As time went by, the two fetuses in her belly continued to grow and became Du Qingqing's sweet burden. Now it is becoming more and more difficult for her to move. If she is not looked after by her family, she dare not go out for a walk. So every day she is either sleeping or curled up on the sofa watching TV to pass the time. She could have used a mobile phone or tablet, watched short videos, chatted with friends and girlfriends, etc., and it wouldn't be so boring. But once she saw a popular science video saying that the radiation from mobile phones may cause harm to the fetus. Since then, she has never played with her mobile phone again.

Although Qiao Ruida repeatedly told her that the radiation from mobile phones would not have any impact on humans, Du Qingqing still did not dare to use mobile phones and tablets for a long time. As the saying goes, care leads to confusion. For an expectant mother, anything that may cause harm to the child must be absolutely avoided.

There was a car sound in the front yard. It should be her husband coming home. Du Qingqing held the armrest of the sofa and stood up with some difficulty. Then she moved her feet and walked to the door to welcome Qiao Ruida's return. The door opened automatically, and Qiao Ruida's familiar figure walked into the living room. When he saw Du Qingqing, he smiled brightly and said, "Wife, how do you feel today? Is the child not making trouble again?"

"It's fine today, there were only two fetal movements, and it wasn't too fussy." Du Qingqing answered casually, but her eyes were fixed on the "Qiao Ruida" in front of her, and she always felt that something was wrong. Yes, it was the clothes. Today was Monday, and the company was going to hold a regular meeting. When her husband went out in the morning, Du Qingqing specially chose a blue suit for him to look more formal. Now the "Qiao Ruida" in front of her was wearing a pullover on the upper body and jeans on the lower body. The difference was not too big. And the expression of this "Qiao Ruida" was also a little wrong, without the two familiar dimples.

Realizing that something was wrong, Du Qingqing immediately became alert and asked loudly, "Who are you and why are you pretending to be my husband?"

"Wife, you don't recognize me. I am Qiao Ruida! What disguise? Why don't I understand?" "Qiao Ruida" spread his hands to show his innocence, and stretched out his hand, trying to pull Du Qingqing's hand, but she dodged it.

"Stop pretending. You are not my husband at all. He was wearing a suit when he went out in the morning, but you were wearing a pullover. Also, although you look very similar to Ruida, your face is stiff when you smile, and you don't have dimples. So you are not him at all. Tell me, who are you and what do you want to do by pretending to be my husband?" Du Qingqing took several steps back, staring at the "Qiao Ruida" in front of her vigilantly.

At this time, Yao Miaozhi, who was cooking dinner in the kitchen, heard the noise and rushed over with a kitchen knife in hand, "Qingqing, what happened? Hey, isn't this Xiaoda? Why did you come back so early today?"

"Mom, this person is not Ruida. He just looks and has a similar figure to Ruida. Don't be fooled by him." Du Qingqing stretched out her hand to stop her mother-in-law, preventing her from going any further.

After Du Qingqing's reminder, Yao Miaozhi also found something wrong. After all, Qiao Ruida was her own son. She raised him and was very familiar with his appearance, figure, expressions and movements. It was easy for her to find out the flaws. "What? You said this person is not Xiaoda? How could someone look so much like Xiaoda? I don't remember him having a twin brother or younger brother. No, this person is really not Xiaoda. The expression and movements are too different."

"It seems that the technology of substitute robots is still not mature enough. It's okay to deceive outsiders, but when facing relatives, it is full of loopholes." As the words were spoken, the door opened again, and the second Qiao Ruida appeared at the door.

Seeing two "Qiao Ruida" appear at the same time, Yao Miaozhi and Du Qingqing were both a little confused, not knowing what was going on. It was unclear whether the second Qiao Ruida was the same fake or Qiao Ruida himself. After observing carefully for a while, Du Qingqing confirmed that the second Qiao Ruida who came in was her husband, the real one. So she took the initiative to walk over, took the coat that her husband took off, and hung it on the coat rack next to her. At the same time, she asked: "Rida, what's going on? Is that person who looks like you a robot? What kind of technology is this? It can be so real." (End of this chapter)
