When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Looking at the robot on stage, countless business owners in the audience were tempted.

Since robots can perform extremely difficult maneuvers like backflips, it proves that Galaxy Technology can perform even more sophisticated maneuvers.

In other words, Galaxy Technology's robotics technology can replace ordinary workers.

Even if robots are expensive, they are still cheaper than hiring people.

After all, robots can work 24 hours a day, without rest, and can maintain a certain level of quality for a long time without declining, which is an advantage that workers simply cannot match.

If Wang Donglai hadn't been on stage and the technology summit hadn't ended, many people probably would have already been itching to go up and make business requests to him.

These are the thoughts of these bosses, but for ordinary people, seeing such a powerful robot naturally evokes a sense of unease.

They are also afraid that they will lose their jobs and be replaced by robots.

Especially in live streaming rooms, there are many talented people online with unique perspectives.

"It's over. The emergence of robots will replace a large number of ordinary jobs, and a wave of unemployment may follow!"

"Before, you could be considered qualified to come to the factory to tighten screws, but now, you're not even qualified to come to the factory to tighten screws!"

"Galaxy Technology's R&D capabilities are amazing! Is there really no real person inside this robot?"

"I still don't believe that Galaxy Technology can really develop such a powerful robot. It doesn't make any sense at all. I've never heard of Galaxy Technology making robots before!"

"Galaxy Technology has already released the product, yet some people still don't believe it's real. It's truly a modern-day case of burying one's head in the sand!"

"What I'm more curious about is that Galaxy Technologies wouldn't release a new technology for no reason. What exactly are they thinking when they created this robot, and what do they want to do with it?"

"It's obvious that Galaxy Technology is planning to replace workers with robots in its factories. With such good benefits, the more ordinary people Galaxy Technology hires, the less net profit it will have. Replacing them with robots is a win-win situation."

Netizens online are discussing it extensively, raising one possibility after another.

There were praises for the robotics technology, but also concerns about Galaxy Technology.

However, none of this affected the scene at all.

After Xiao Zhi finished his performance, Wang Donglai returned to the stage.

Looking at the excited and expectant eyes of the crowd below the stage, Wang Donglai naturally knew what they were thinking.

To be honest, Wang Donglai had already thought it through when he was preparing to bring out this robotics technology.

What do you all think of Ash's performance?

Wang Donglai stood on the stage with a smile on his face and asked the audience below.

Unsurprisingly, the audience erupted in applause.

Although there was no answer, the applause said it all.

After the applause subsided, Wang Donglai spoke up, saying, "Actually, this is far from Xiaozhi's limit."

"Please look at the big screen. This is the extreme operation that Xiaozhi performed in the laboratory."

As he spoke, a new image appeared on the large screen behind Wang Donglai.

It was Xiao Zhi who was carrying out a daring operation in the laboratory.

A grain of rice was magnified in front of Ash, and Ash's fingertips had been specially modified, with a laser beam appearing and gradually carving out the image.

"Yes, everyone read that right."

"Xiao Zhi can perform micro-carving on a grain of rice in three minutes. He completed the entire 324-character 'Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion' in one go."

As soon as the words were spoken, the large screen instantly magnified the grain of rice, revealing the writing on it.
"I believe that many people will feel afraid of such a robot, fearing that Xiao Zhi will take away the jobs of ordinary workers?"

The lights suddenly dimmed, leaving only two beams of light shining on Wang Donglai and Xiaozhi. Starlight and shadow flowed through Xiaozhi's mechanical eyes.

"As the founder of Galaxy Technology, I can answer this question."

"Galaxy Technology has never created tools, but rather amplifiers of human civilization!"

As he spoke, Wang Donglai gently patted Xiao Zhi, who was standing to the side.

"Humanity created me, and the glory will forever belong to you!"

An electronic mechanical sound rang out, and then a change occurred in Ash.

The protective shell on the surface instantly fell off, revealing the core components inside, such as the tightly packed magnetohydrodynamic joints.

"Please take a look at the security measures we have taken."

"As a first measure, we set its power output to be permanently limited to 1.2 horsepower, which is far less than one-tenth of that of a tractor."

"The second measure is the implantation of over 80,000 lines of ethical code, ensuring that all of the robot's actions are controlled by the program code."

"The third measure is our cost. The material cost of a single robot is as high as five million, which makes it impossible to popularize in the short term. It can only be provided as a cutting-edge scientific research product."

"Many people who saw Xiao Zhi's performance just now are probably thinking about whether they can buy Xiao Zhi to replace ordinary workers, put him on the assembly line, increase production capacity and reduce costs."

"In my view, this is a disgrace to technology."

"Xiao Zhi can do backflips, so he can deliver food, but I will never let Xiao Zhi take away the jobs of food delivery drivers."

"It can perform intricate micro-carving, welding, and various precision operations, but I won't let it take the job of an ordinary welder. It should be placed in dangerous areas and take on more important tasks."

"Therefore, I can promise you one thing in front of everyone: that no Galaxy Technology robot product will ever be used for repetitive assembly line work."

"Let robots take risks, and let technicians stay in the back—that's the future."

"Its correct use is to replace firefighters in rushing into the fire to put out the fire and rescue people!"

As Wang Donglai narrated, images of Xiaozhi being used in various scenarios appeared on the large screen behind him.

There are images of Xiao Zhi kneeling on the ground to put shoes on disabled children, and robots braving torrential rain to repair the power grid, while electricians remotely control the system from indoors.

There are also videos of robots performing millimeter-level welding in confined spaces, and robots rushing into fire scenes to conduct search and rescue operations using infrared and radar technology.

Furthermore, robots are performing various extremely dangerous operations in nuclear reactors.

These images, played out at this moment, are incredibly powerful.

For a moment, the entire venue fell silent.

"Robots can mine coal, and they can also save lives. They can be deployed from behind, but they can serve a disabled person even better."

"Our research and development of robotics technology has never been aimed at replacing humans or taking away human jobs, but rather at better assisting humanity in advancing the progress of scientific and technological civilization."

As he spoke, Wang Donglai pulled out a bronze sword from somewhere and handed it to Xiaozhi.

Xiao Zhi took the sword, took two steps back, and began to wield it on the stage, displaying an extremely gorgeous sword technique.

The movements of this sword technique are far more impressive than the previous ones.

Just as Xiao Zhi was displaying his swordsmanship, Wang Donglai suddenly shouted, "Stop!" In an instant, Xiao Zhi, who had been moving with lightning speed, stopped abruptly, and whether by coincidence or design, the bronze sword in his hand was pointing directly at the audience.

"Shine the lights on!"

Wang Donglai gave an order, and immediately a light shone on the sword.

"Please look at the notch on this sword. This is a weakness we deliberately designed. All the robots' solar panels can be destroyed with a household laser pointer. This is another security measure we've set up."

"But we believe we have better ways of controlling things and won't make mistakes."

"In this world, what is most irreplaceable will always be human imagination!"

After Wang Dong finished speaking, a full moment passed before thunderous applause erupted.

Regardless of what people were thinking, Wang Donglai's words had already reached a new level of sophistication.

Meanwhile, many executives of related companies were extremely excited.

They were initially worried that Galaxy Technologies' robots would deal a devastating blow to them.

However, Wang Donglai did not have that intention.

This robot technology will not be used to replace ordinary workers, which would greatly reduce the robot's application scope and commercial value.

And that became their opportunity.

It is conceivable that once the performance of today's robots becomes known, it will inevitably spark a robot craze worldwide.

These startups specializing in robotics are bound to attract the attention of investment institutions.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, their net worth will increase tenfold or even a hundredfold.

"It's almost time. Please feel free to explore now. We'll continue this afternoon!"

Wang Donglai was well aware of the impact of the robot technology he had presented, so he didn't rush to continue, giving everyone time to react.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the lights in the hall came on.

At that moment, Wang Donglai also walked off the stage.

In an instant, a large crowd gathered around.

Of course, the fastest to respond were the reporters from various media outlets waiting below.

"Academician Wang, may I ask what other things your company's robots can do besides these?"

"Mr. Wang, are all the things you said on stage just now true?"

"Advances in robotics technology will inevitably impact some jobs. Mr. Wang, have you considered this?"

"Mr. Wang, you promised that the robots would not replace low-end jobs, but with material costs of up to five million, how will you recoup the costs and make a profit?"

"Mr. Wang, we'd like to ask, given the robot's immense strength, could it potentially harm people?"

"If a consumer buys a robot and then modifies it without authorization to engage in prohibited industries, how can this be regulated?"

"With slight modifications, robots can become tactical weapons. How can we stop them?"

"Does such a high material cost mean that this robot can only serve the rich and become a toy for the wealthy?"

One sharp question after another was presented to Wang Donglai.

Wang Donglai's expression remained unchanged despite the reporters' questions.

He took a deep breath and began to answer.

“Some people are worried that the robots might be modified privately, and we have naturally taken that into account.”

“Each robot has a built-in ethical black box that immediately triggers a three-level circuit breaker once it detects the vibration frequency of the assembly line: Level 1 alarm, Level 2 power outage, and Level 3 self-destruct.”

"As for the high cost of robots, how to recoup the cost and make a profit, I don't think that's a problem."

"Such cutting-edge technology products would be a joke if there were no market for them!"

"I believe there should be an answer to this question by tomorrow, and I will definitely announce it to the public then."

"By the way, we will be opening the purchase channel for the robots tonight. Consumers worldwide are welcome to make reservations. Currently, we are pricing them at 20 million per unit!"

"The material cost is five million, and that's just the material cost; other costs haven't been included yet. So, the price of twenty million is already our grand opening promotion. We don't rule out the possibility of raising the price later."

Upon hearing Wang Donglai's words, both the reporters who had gathered around and the entrepreneurs gasped in shock.

They didn't quite believe the material cost was five million, but the selling price went straight to twenty million.

Even robbery wouldn't be this fast!

However, although they thought this in their hearts, no one said it out loud.

The robot's performance had already won them over.

Indeed, as Wang Donglai said, it would be laughable if such a product had no market.

Wang Donglai didn't stop and continued answering the questions the reporter had just asked.

"A reporter just asked how to prevent robots from being used as tactical weapons."

"Our engineers had already considered this from the very beginning of the design process."

"All the joint motion data of our robots are quantum encrypted. Forcibly cracking it will trigger the defense system. Once an alarm is issued, it will perform a self-check."

"If the self-test determines that there is a problem and someone is maliciously cracking it, it will initiate a self-destruct program, delete all data and information, and turn into a pile of scrap metal."

"I still have great confidence in our technology. At present, looking at the world, I don't think anyone can surpass our technology."

As he said this, Wang Donglai's lips curled up, revealing a confident smile.

"Finally, I just mentioned that the application of technology is to better serve humanity, and that's not a lie."

"When we were developing the robot, we made a breakthrough in prosthetic technology. The related products and technologies will be released to the public soon. In order to fulfill our social responsibility, we will provide services to people with disabilities at zero profit."

"We will sell all prosthetics and other products at cost price for three months!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people surrounding him paused for a moment, then spontaneously burst into applause.

Perhaps only Wang Donglai has the courage to say such things.

It's important to know that the cost of products like prosthetics is not low, and providing them at zero profit would mean incurring a significant financial loss.

The three-month period is a terrifying time; the losses can easily amount to hundreds of millions of yuan.

With media coverage, the technology summit sparked a frenzy of discussion across the globe and the internet on its very first day.

This news is absolutely explosive! (End of Chapter)
