Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 536 Can Lin Chen predict the future?
Lin Chen replied: "This is not very convenient. As you know, we are busy with the competition recently and we really don't have time to design other robots."

Louis was very disappointed when he heard Lin Chen's answer. He was a man whose emotions were written on his face, and at this moment he stood in front of Lin Chen with a wronged look on his face.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen was not impressed by the aggrieved look of the handsome Louis. If it was a beautiful girl, he might even hesitate.

"It won't take you too long. He just needs to modify the original robot a little bit."

Louis has a relatively good understanding of the intelligent aspects of robots and knows that what really takes time is programming and chips.

It’s not that Lin Chen doesn’t have time at all, he just doesn’t want to spend time on this.

What's more, there will be plenty of time to deal with the robot's business issues in the future.

Just as Lin Chen was about to say goodbye and leave, he found that Louis was holding his clothes and had no intention of letting go, and Louis' eyes were full of anticipation.

"The robot competition in our neighborhood is also held during this period." Louis said this briefly, and Lin Chen understood what he meant.

If that friend had waited until the end of the international competition, his chances of participating in the robot competition this year would have been ruined.

Louis' words made Lin Chen decide to upgrade the system for his friend to a large extent, and it would not take too long. ...

In order to prevent Louis' friends from coming to him and asking for a system upgrade, Lin Chen seriously told Louis his true thoughts at the moment.

"Due to time constraints, this is the only friend I need."

"I am very sure of that."

Louis seemed very excited.

When Lin Chen saw this situation, he knew that the next thing would be successful, so he said: "Contact your friend and ask him to send the robot over."

Louis left excitedly, taking with him the people who usually followed him.

An hour later, Lin Chen met another person in the hall.

This man had an Asian face. While waiting for Lin Chen in the hall, he was very calm and composed, unlike most young people who were full of anticipation and joy.

When the man saw Lin Chen, he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Boss Lin?"

Lin Chen nodded slightly, acknowledging the other party's guess.

The man quickly said, "Louis introduced me. My name is Lucas."

"Have you brought the robot? What do you want?"

Lin Chen didn't plan to spend too much time here, and he was not in the mood to greet the other party.

Then, I saw the other party take out a robot. It was a palm-sized robot. It was more like a personal toy than a robot for participating in the street robot competition.

Perhaps Lucas had realized that his robot was different from the ones currently on the streets, so he introduced it to Lin Chen: “I just admire it myself.”

Lin Chen discovered that the robot had no chips added at all, and then said, "Tell me what you want from the robot."

"I saw your performance in the previous international robot competition. Can you apply the capabilities of the participating robots to my robot?"

"Because it is currently being used for competitions, I cannot meet your request."

Lucas did not force it, and said calmly: "Then ask for the same system as Louis, but I have a condition, which is that the goods must be received in the same time. Can you do that?"

"can."

"Then sign a contract. I am different from Louis. I have to be more cautious. This will benefit both of us."

He had already drafted the contract and took it directly to Lin Chen.

The contract stipulates that delivery must be made within the specified time. If this is not done, a penalty must be paid, the amount of which is ten times the transaction cost.

Lin Chen looked at the contract, and felt something strange in his heart, but he did not show it in front of the person in front of him, and his expression became indifferent.

"I guess you know how much he spent. I also need to collect payment in advance."

Lucas transferred the money without hesitation.

After everyone left, Dai Chen asked Lin Chen: "Captain, do you think he is a little strange?"

"Yes, I have!"

"There won't be any problem with his identity, right?"

Lin Chen looked at the palm-sized robot in his hand, then raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "I'm not afraid of any problems with him."

It only took Lin Chen half an hour to complete the same programming, but he did not immediately call Lucas to pick up the robot.

Like Louis, they have to feel naturally that creating such a program is not something that can be completed in a short period of time.

At this time, Liu Cheng came running over breathlessly from a distance. Everyone knew that he was there to check the game information. Judging from his condition, he probably encountered some problems.

Lin Chen asked him: "What's the matter that makes you so anxious?"

Liu Cheng said anxiously: "These people in the United States are too unkind. They actually changed the rules halfway through. When I went to check the information just now, I found that the new competition rules were directly posted."

Just then, Walton staff came to their rest area.

The staff member walked directly to Lin Chen, took out a document and handed it to Lin Chen.

"In order to increase the difficulty and fun of this robot competition, the working group decided to temporarily add a competition option to test the on-the-spot reaction and programming ability of each national team."

Lin Chen took the document and saw that there was indeed one more competition, which was a robot tank competition.

A closer look will reveal that this is actually a combination of multiple robot capabilities. The entire robot tank is composed of an intelligent robot body and an intelligent robot on the vehicle.

If it were an ordinary team, they would have had a headache long ago, but Lin Chen did not think it was a difficult task for him and acted very calmly.

After reading the contents of the document, Lin Chen said to the staff in front of him: "Okay, we have received the document. We will carefully check the contents and actively participate in the subsequent competition projects."

When Lin Chen said this, several team members around him took a deep breath and cursed the staff who came over a thousand times in their hearts.

The staff member originally stood there, wanting to watch a good show, but he didn't expect Lin Chen to respond to him so easily, which caught him off guard. Fortunately, he responded politely in time and left.

After everyone left, Lin Chen smiled and said, "I know what they are planning."

After the Walton staff left, Lin Chen remained extremely calm, but the team members around him became more and more curious.

"What exactly are their plans?" Dai Chen asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Lin Chen took the document in his hand, glanced at the robot that had been installed in the distance, and said, "This is a chain of tricks they set up."

After saying that, he put the document back next to the robot. He looked very relaxed as he sat at the table and looked at the team members in front of him.

"It's obvious that the modification of the robots and the change of the rules of this competition are all intended to disrupt our rhythm."

At this point, the team members already understood everything. Liu Cheng looked at the robot next to him, holding it in his hand and said, "I want to throw it to the ground, but this is 400,000 yuan."

"If you really fall, it will be more than 400,000 yuan. You will also have to pay liquidated damages." Dai Chen said.

Now everyone knows that someone is conspiring to delay Lin Chen.

The change in competition rules means that all teams must develop and manufacture robots that comply with the new competition rules in just two days.

People of average level probably won’t be able to develop it at all and will be eliminated directly.

Even if your level is pretty good, two days is very tight and you may not get good results.

Dai Chen suddenly realized and said, "Could it be that the United States had already thought of using this method a long time ago?"

Lin Chen nodded slightly: "It seems so. They have made preparations in advance and even developed robots under the new competition rules."

Everyone became more and more angry. As the organizer of this robot competition, they actually did such a thing. It was obviously cheating.

At the same time, they also found that Lin Chen was sitting there very relaxedly, not at all hurried.

At this time, Lin Chen waved his hand at them and said, "Practice the part you are going to compete in detail again. Don't take the new competition rules too seriously."

After saying that, Lin Chen stood up, waved to them again, and returned to his room.

The members of No. 1 Middle School were left standing there, looking at each other.

Liu Cheng said: "I believe in the captain's ability. Lucas's robot has been modified long ago, which means that the opponent's plan has already collapsed."

Dai Chen also laughed and said, "Yes, we shouldn't worry about the captain's affairs at this time. We should worry about our own affairs."

Unlike other participating teams, in the Chinese team, only Lin Chen is responsible for the research and development and manufacturing of robots, while the others are only there to accompany and help when encountering problems.

The other teams are all composed of robot-related professionals, because each robot has its own independent developer and builder.

Lin Chen returned to the room, sat at the table, and slowly opened his system.

"What kinds of robot combat vehicles are there now?"

"Master, based on the current capabilities of the system, a robot vehicle of the corresponding level will be provided. It will be displayed on the next interface. Please pay attention to it."

Soon, Lin Chen saw a simple interface.

There are three robot tanks on the interface.

Two of them are common styles on the market, with some differences in battery life and responsiveness, but nothing special in other aspects.

The last model is somewhat different from the previous two, with improvements in details and many movable joints. Lin Chen thought this model was more novel, so he chose the third model to check its properties.

The robot base on the chariot is integrated with the vehicle, but the upper part can rotate 360 ​​degrees. When attacked by the enemy chariot robot, it can respond from different angles.

Lin Chen checked the tank's weight, reaction speed and other related performance and found that they were all better than the other two tanks.

He further clicked on the purchase link and a window popped up.

"Four hundred thousand dollars, click a few dozen, click OK or Cancel to pay."

Lin Chen clicked OK, and the balance visibly decreased, with the points becoming one hundred and forty-seven points.

The programming of the robot is somewhat different from the research, development and construction of other equipment.

Unless you develop low-level robots every time, you have to purchase technology packages again whenever you develop higher-level robots.

Lin Chen spent mainly on parts and technology packages this time.

Soon, parts of the tank robot appeared in front of him, and more robot programming technology accumulated in his mind.

With previous programming experience, Lin Chen had little effort in learning new technologies.

During dinner in the evening, Lin Chen announced a piece of news to his teammates.

He smiled and said: "All preparations are complete, just waiting for the next game!"

All the team members looked at Lin Chen with hope in their eyes.

Dai Chen said expectantly: "The US plan is going to fail."

In the rest area of ​​the Walton Robot Competition, many people had gathered in David's room.

David looked at Lucas and said, "Go contact Lin Chen later. He must be very anxious right now."

"That's right. The new competition rules have been announced. He either has to modify the robot for me first, or he has to make a robot for the competition. He has to choose one of the two, and he may not be able to do it well."

Lucas looked very proud when he said this. His team from Sakura Country was eliminated because of Lin Chen, and he had to vent his anger.

David also laughed: "Take the pinhole camera with you later and make sure to record his expression. I will come back and enjoy it."

"I was thinking maybe he wouldn't even show up," Lucas said.

Another person nearby said, "That's unlikely. He doesn't think about it. He is in Walton to participate in an international event. If he doesn't show up, it will be a big scandal for China."

After a discussion, they checked that the time was almost up, straightened their clothes, left the rest area, and went straight to the lobby of the Robot Competition Hotel.

Lucas called Lin Chen like punching in.

"Boss Lin, I'm here to pick up the robot. I'm very punctual so I won't delay your work."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go down and send the robot to you right away."

Lucas said to David through the intercom in his ear: "He is mentally strong and sounds quite relaxed on the phone."

"Haha, he seems relaxed on the phone, but he must be very anxious in his heart! If Hua Xia knew that he missed the International Robot Competition in order to make money, it would be interesting to think about it."

Since Lin Chen agreed to send the robot to Lucas, it means that the robot has been completed, and there is definitely not enough time to make the robot for the competition.

It took two days just to modify the robot for Lucas, and the robot tank competition would take place the next day.

The robot tank is much more complicated than Lucas's robot. How could it be made in just an afternoon and an evening?

Lin Chen came out of the lounge area and went to the lobby, where he saw Lucas sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby, looking relaxed and comfortable.

He walked over quickly, and Lucas saw him and smiled, not even standing up.

"Lucas, do you know that there is an old saying in China that goes "kill the donkey after it has done its job"? Your behavior just now really seems to be a bit like that. The robot has already met your requirements, and you have achieved your goal. There is no need to be polite to me anymore, right?"

Lin Chen put the robot on the table, and instead of sitting down, he stood there and spoke to Lucas condescendingly.
