Chapter 176 Walking is a Problem (1 more)

The reply from the Xiaoben Chicken was quick, and after asking for a suitable authorization fee, he signed and agreed happily.

It is said that those clamp aunties were very interested in the company of this kind of computer angel-like otaku, and they also asked Meow Star Technology for a prototype, which of course looked like the heroine Xiaoji of the comics.

Xiaoji, who has converted from a two-dimensional character to a real world, does not look like a real person, and will not trigger the boundaries of human uncanny valleys. Instead, it looks like a high-end rubber doll, just a figure of heights of real persons.

That kind of figure is not cheap. The layer of silicone on the outside costs tens of thousands to tens of thousands. Now with artificial intelligence and bed use, the price is simply beyond the sky, and it is estimated that it can reach one million yuan, which is considered a small amount.

"The cost of this layer of silicone is still too high, and it must be reduced!"

People in the market department think that they need to control the price. They have indeed found special suppliers. Rabbits from the flower growers are very good at this kind of thing. As long as they can be handed over to the rabbits for production, they have ways to reduce the cost to the bargain price.

In fact, people in the marketing department want to divide the products into different levels and capture all the low, medium and high market users in one go. Anyway, Rabbit Family has the world's largest silicone doll manufacturer. As long as Miaoxing Technology is willing to hang a sign, they will help OEM.

"Our Xiaoji can talk and communicate, and has a certain degree of intelligence. He can have special emotional conversations based on the scene. If the user wants, he can even teach it to learn specific actions through practice together..."

Where can I find such a perfect second-dimensional girlfriend?

I'm afraid the otakus who are on the verge of the squat are willing to lose everything for this!

Among Zhao Baibing and others, there are many old otaku drivers. Of course, they know what the otaku are doing. In terms of R&D and design, Xiaoji's main service functions are developed perfectly. Even the world's top doll companies cannot do this level.

In fact, this is true. After a week or two, the company of the otaku named "Xiaoji" finally began mass production.

In order to see the real reaction of the market, Miaoxing Technology decided to try the water at the Magic City Animation Exhibition first.

So without notifying any media, Xiaoji suddenly appeared in front of many otaku.

Although Xiaoji cannot walk on both feet, she can sit on the mattress and communicate with people. This exhibition is divided into two parts: external display and internal communication meeting. Xiaoji outside is of course sitting and chatting with the audience, and answering some questions based on everyone's questions.

Nowadays, smart robots on the streets also have voice conversation functions, but if you want to communicate like a real person, it is a very difficult technical problem!

For example, when multiple people ask questions, how to tell who said the sentence, and the meaning of the same sentence in various environments, etc. Usually, you can tell whether the robot is stupid or not.

Xiaoji, who has the small assistant language function module, perfectly solves such problems.

She can accurately identify all language meanings, but there may be some shortcomings in the multiple semantics, but she can be fooled by Xiaoji's cute expression, which makes most people unable to discover. In fact, this doll cannot understand the entire conversation content.

Xiaoji can accurately analyze the semantics based on the language function module, transmit the information to the ai function module for processing, and then give appropriate action expression feedback.

This kind of performance that can accurately distinguish the person who speaks and communicate with multiple people at the same time is enough to make those otaku continue to make the "oh-hoo" keep whispering.

The other internal exchange exhibition is somewhat banned. Only after checking that the ID card is an adult man, can you be eligible to apply to enter and watch. Many female tourists were also rejected. Many of them gathered around the entrance and shouted about gender discrimination.

"We also like Xiaoji, why not let him in!"

"That's right, don't think we don't know what's doing inside!"

"Protest! Protest! I want to complain to the hosting center about your different treatment!"

"Sisters! If they don't let us in, then we will block the door and see who else dares to come in!"

Their actions made many men who were willing to go in and take a look hesitate. Even so, many otaku still resisted the eyes of others and forced into the wall.

After entering, tourists have to hand over all the electronic products before they can continue moving forward.

In short, the otakus must go through a lot of rigorous inspections to ensure that no one can take pictures or record secretly before they can enter and participate in the internal exchange meeting. However, whenever those who enter come out, they say that the program inside is really exciting.

At the internal exchanges and exhibitions, Xiaoji can get close contact with tourists. If you are brave, you can even go up to show yourself how to interact correctly.

There were at least a few hundred tourists present. Among them, there were really many bold and bold otaku. When volunteering to experience it, fortunately, they could choose to wear a half-mask similar to Zorro, otherwise they would not know if it would become the only stain in life.

But there are also a few real warriors who choose not to wear masks. They think that interacting with Xiaoji will make you feel more touching and can avoid misunderstandings caused by Xiaoji's inability to see his expression.

Anyone who was watching the use process would involuntarily set up a tent, holding up his third little hand to give a crazy thumbs up. Many otaku who knew it later gained the courage to sign up for the live demonstration on site after watching the live demonstration.

Unfortunately, most of them were told that the number of applicants was full, and they unfortunately missed an opportunity to experience human-computer communication!

The exhibition time on that day was limited, so of course the number of applicants had to be limited. Even so, many people who signed up were a little slower than others, and it was not until the exhibition ended.

After all, the number of Xiaoji on site is limited, so it is impossible for everyone to use the original product.

Even if the otakus can tolerate second-hand or n-handed Xiaoji, every time they use Xiaoji, it takes more than ten minutes to replace important parts, clean and anti-virus on the outside of the machine, etc.

So the number of people who have registered for hundreds of people is about a few dozen people who can come on stage, and everyone else can only stand in the audience and watch others try it out.

"It feels so awesome!"

"So many actions are not repeated!"

"The screams are also very realistic! They sound exactly like real people!"

"The key is the touch. I heard from a buddy who has experienced it. It feels more exciting than doing it with a real person, and every step is just right!"

Many otaku looked at him and his legs were tightly clamped, almost using all his strength. Even after leaving the exhibition, the flame still failed to extinguish.

As a result, a strange phenomenon occurred at the animation exhibition that day. Some people kept coming in and out of a remote side door, and all the people who went out were blushing and covered their lower bodies tightly, just like someone hitting their crotch.

This situation attracted the attention of many reporters, and they quickly learned about the situation from the people who visited the internal communication. It turned out that Miaoxing Technology was quietly displaying black technology products inside.

The reporters also quickly concluded that the emergence of this product will definitely solve the happiness problem of otaku.

Even reporters cannot bring electronic products inside, no matter what they say, they can't do it. In the end, they can only go in empty-handed to see what's going on.

These reporters soon discovered that the internal communication inside was indeed exciting. A foreign reporter even bought the qualification to queue from an otaku for a high price and went on stage to experience it.

Even though he obtained the qualification through special methods, it still attracted many otaku to shout unfairly on the scene. The more clever otaku secretly looked for those who had already signed up to get the qualification to queue up, and wanted to learn from others and spend money to buy it.

As a result, many people succeeded in sewing, but many otaku insisted on not buying, making it very difficult to get the qualification for queuing, and in the end, they couldn't buy it even if they had money.

Before the exhibition was over that day, news about Xiaoji immediately spread throughout the Internet, attracting a lot of attention and discussion. Even if there were pictures and videos of the exhibition, some people questioned the authenticity of the news.

"A computer doll that can communicate like a real person?"

"Can you still actively cooperate to make appropriate actions and give feedback on real-life expressions?"

"It sounds like science fiction. Did it take decades to wake up?"

"I feel a bit fake. Isn't the picture just Xiao Ji in the comic?"

At first, some people didn’t believe it, but soon people who experienced it came out to speak, making the news authentic and credible!

When more and more evidence appears on the Internet, everyone is sure that the news is true this time, and Xiaoji is really created.

"What? Meow Star Technology finally created a computer angel?"

“Can you even provide private services?”

"Someone experienced it myself, and according to that guy, I felt so happy!"

"Why is there no product information on their official website? I want to know what the price is, and I can ask my parents for money to buy one!"

"Xiaoji, my cute Xiaoji!"

"From now on, I must work hard to save money for Xiaoji!"

Originally, Meowstar Technology Company participated in this animation exhibition just to test the waters. The scale of the exhibition was pitifully small, but it did not expect it to attract so much attention, so it simply announced the price of Xiaoji.

"Xiaoji needs 998,000 yuan in a whole set!" The monkey asked the market department at the meeting: "Will such a price be a bit inflated?"

Of course, he didn't think he made less money from his family, but was worried that the price was too high and the otaku couldn't afford it. However, people in the market department said that the price was just right. Judging from the pre-sale situation, the person who ordered it was beyond their expected range.

The main reason is that the otaku who is on the side of the foot basin chicken has ordered a large part of the style. Xiaoji also designed it with the company there. Some parts of the key parts are even made of island companies, just to ensure that users get an excellent experience.

Xiaoji's weight is much lighter than that of a normal person. After all, there is nothing else in her body except the metal skeleton. Her height is only about 152cm, and she is a petite and clever doll. This setting is very popular with the squat chicken.

The number of pre-sales exceeded tens of thousands in a few days, and as time goes by, more and more otaku learn more about the situation, the orders on the official website are increasing faster and faster.

"Sales exceeded 300,000 in the first month!" said people from the marketing department.

For Xiaoji, who is not much different from the heroine of the comics, many otaku are willing to pay all the price for it. This enthusiasm also leads to the fact that the products are almost in short supply and are out of stock. The main reason is that the parts of special parts need to be customized, and the island country's production companies have no time to expand production.

As for metal skeletons and silicone skins, there is no such problem. They are produced by Rabbit Family's company. Not only is the larger the quantity, the lower the cost, but their quality is far beyond the international first-class level in all aspects.

Miaoxing Technology has researched to find other suppliers, and even localized parts of the parts. However, time is urgent and cannot find a replacement manufacturer, so it has to take the products of the footbasin chicken family first to deal with it.

After the victory of the flag, Zhao Baibing and others did not wait to collect the dividends, but continued to study the company of more advanced otaku. For them, Xiaoji who could not walk was incomplete.

In order to solve the walking problem in the shortest time, they built floors in the laboratory and prepared to gather all the forces of the project team to solve technical problems.

Before almost exhausting all their energy, Zhao Baibing and his project team finally achieved certain results and finally got a relatively satisfactory plan.

"We let Xiaoji get up!" Zhao Baibing shouted in surprise.

The rubber doll standing in front of them can already use a more flexible and repeatable basic movements such as standing up, sitting down and walking, and even if you are hit and fallen down, you can get up by yourself.

"But it looks a bit clumsy!" someone judged.

Xiaoji 2.0 is similar to a three or four-year-old child. Her movements are far less flexible than adults, but it can also solve most problems. She can walk independently indoors and outdoors, at least comparable to electronic pets.

Unfortunately, there are more and more unexpected situations that Xiaoji has to face.

Xiaoji's AI intelligence level is not high enough to handle various emergencies in complex environments outdoors. Once some low-level errors occur, it will appear stupid. Even if you use cute methods, you cannot get away with it.

This will expose Xiaoji's real situation. In terms of intelligence, she is not much different from other companies' robots, making her walking ability a function of self-reducing pneumaticity.

"It seems that we have to continue to study AI intelligence!" Zhao Baibing thought to himself.

They are very clear that the small assistant Ai intelligent system developed by Li Maoye is quite complex, and its intelligence level is very high. Even if a few people spend decades, they cannot surpass this level.

Only by finding a way to port the small assistant AI intelligent system is the best way.
