Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 1044 Learning Machine
Although he had been viewing the exhibition for four or five days, this was the first time that Wei Hang had the opportunity to enter the Fu Rui Pavilion.

Harbin Institute of Technology is also a major exhibitor at the "China Science and Technology Expo", and as a "study abroad team" of Harbin Institute of Technology, they have some small privileges. The school helped them get two places in the "Fu Rui Pavilion".

The theme days are arranged separately according to the majors of different students. Wei Hang's major is aerospace, so the last two days are "Future and Outlook" and "Aviation and Aerospace".

In fact, this was a bit of a pity for him. After all, there had been several major announcements at the Fu Rui Pavilion of the Group before, and he was very close to them, but he didn't get to join in the fun.

"Do you think that Fu Rui Group will make any big moves in the last two days?"

"I don't know. There should be some news about the 'Aviation and Space' theme. It's hard to say today. Unfortunately, in order to control the flow of visitors, the official has not announced the daily plans of the Fu Rui Pavilion. It's all up to luck."

In order to ensure that they could get in early and enjoy the exhibition, the students majoring in aerospace got up at five o'clock and lined up outside the exhibition area. Then after entering at nine o'clock, they took advantage of their young people's physical fitness and ran all the way to the front row of the Fu Rui Pavilion.

The intelligent unit robotic arm that I had seen from afar before has not yet appeared, and there is only a wall with metal patterns in front of me. It is said that in the past few days, the number of people who tried to steal a piece and were caught is enough to fill a mahjong table.

Some may have ulterior motives, and some may be simply out of hand.
Wei Hang thought these people were so stupid. These were all mechanical intelligent devices. If any one of them was left in the network, or if any one of them had a problem, it would be sensed.

Finally, it was approaching the opening time of the Fu Rui Museum, 9:30. Looking inside, there were many more staff members who were ready.

Suddenly, the walls on both sides surged, and six "mechanical arms" appeared at the three entrances. Wei Hang was shocked and took a few pictures, then quickly took out his visitor pass.

I've seen it from a distance before, and it's even more amazing when I see it up close. I'm going to post it on my Moments for a week straight.
After scanning the code to gain entry, he did not linger for too long and entered decisively, becoming the first person to enter the Fu Rui Pavilion that day.

As soon as I entered, I saw a smiling female staff member handing out something that looked like a bracelet.

It was his first time here and he didn't know the rules, so he went over curiously and asked, "Auntie, what is this?"

The staff lady's face froze for a second.

If it weren't for the company's rules, she would have to challenge this man in a one-on-one duel to determine the winner and the fate of both life and death!
“This is the ‘Learning Machine’ experience bracelet. We will have a special session later where visitors will have the opportunity to experience the ‘Learning Machine’ on site.”

Wei Hang was stunned, thinking he had heard wrongly.
"'Learning machine'? Master Zhou mentioned the term 'learning machine' once during the Hangzhou Summit!"

While asking, he didn't stop his hands and reached out to take it.

The young lady calmly withdrew her hand: "You need to fill out a form and a letter of commitment first, and then come back to exchange the bracelet."

Wei Hang took a look at the number in the other party's hand, only about seventeen or eighteen?
"So few? Isn't this a rare opportunity?"

"It's divided into time periods, 2 will be randomly distributed every 20 hours."

The Fu Rui Pavilion is only open for ten hours a day, which means there are only 100 lucky people today.

Wei Hang didn't delay any longer and started filling out the form.

There is a lot of content, including a promise that one does not have "brain disease", "heart disease, high blood pressure" and other underlying diseases, and also a promise to abide by relevant rules.

There were five pages of densely packed rules, but Wei Hang was brave enough to just tick all the boxes and then go back to change his bracelet.

The young lady reluctantly gave him one and reminded him, "Make two copies of the form and read them carefully later."

Soon, more people noticed this newly appeared NPC and came over to ask curiously. In the blink of an eye, all 20 bracelets were distributed and the young lady disappeared.

The "learning machine" is of course very famous, but no one knows what it looks like, and no one knows if it is very different from the BBK learning machine.
Wei Hang asked about the time and was told it would start in an hour. Since he had the bracelet, he had nothing to worry about, so he just started walking around. He soon got lost in the high-tech booths, especially the "Taiyi Tiangong" exhibition area. He was distracted and exceeded the time.

He didn't react until he heard huge cheers and applause from the other side.

"Spicy and spicy"!
I slapped my head and forgot about the important matter! I ran towards the target location.

The "Learning Machine" experience area seemed to have been originally used for press conferences. He had no idea what it was like before as it was his first time there. Anyway, it was now a place surrounded by a matrix of large screens and packed with people.

When he arrived, he found that a press conference seemed to have just been held. There were excited visitors all around and a large number of reporters taking pictures frantically.

I don’t know what important content was just said, and the cheers and applause that woke him up came from here.

Wei Hang cursed himself inwardly, raised his bracelet, and squeezed in while apologizing.

"Excuse me, is wristband number one here? For the last time, is the visitor with wristband number one here?"

Wei Hang jumped up and waved: "I'm here! Here!"

I squeezed in and found that there was a sci-fi mechanical chair on the stage, surrounded by a group of staff, but the legendary Master Zhou was not there.

The commander was a young uncle, about 30 years old, with a name tag on his chest that read "Senior Technical Director: Che Qian".

"Sorry, I was distracted."

Wei Hang told a little lie.

Che Qian collected the bracelet and form, handed them to the person next to him for registration, and said to him, "It's okay. Do you understand the precautions?"

"Oh, I understand! I understand everything!"

Well, one lie needs a series of lies to cover it up.
He knows nothing.
Che Qian let him lie on the large, sturdy, high-tech recliner.

The staff connected some sensors for detecting vital signs to his pulse and fingertips, and the recliner slowly lowered into a semi-reclining mode.

Perhaps the situation was too similar to an "operation," Wei Hang had to admit that he was nervous.
He has never even had a circumcision.
However, due to his trust in "Fu Rui Group" and "Master Zhou", as well as the young people's characteristic of wanting to save face, he remained silent.
Especially the hundreds of people below, all looked at him with envy and burning gazes.

There is no point in saying "put me down".

This is the electric chair today and I can’t leak my pee!
Che Qian was at the operating table, speaking half to him and half to the audience below.

"We have prepared three memory packs this time, namely '300 Tang Poems', '300 Children's Songs', and 'Twenty-six Chen Style Tai Chi Forms'. Which one would Mr. Wei Hang like to teach me?"

Wei Hang had a hundred "f*ck" flashes through his mind. What is memory instillation?
Isn't it a reading machine? Oh no, isn't it a learning machine?
It was not until Che Qian asked for the second time that he said dryly, "Chen Tai Chi, right?"

The other two sound childish.
Che Qian nodded, and finally confirmed that all indicators were normal, and asked the staff to put on a helmet for Wei Hang.

This is a special helmet that he and his boss modified to conceal its technical features while also taking into account aesthetics.

The original cyberpunk helmet that looked like a sea urchin has turned into a silver helmet with a streamlined shape, like a half-cut water drop.

The helmet is very large and covers the user's eyes. After putting it on, it will be slightly adjusted according to the size of the head. There is also a small display screen on the inner wall that can show some soothing and guiding content.

In addition, the originally messy sensor wires were all bundled into one and wrapped in a silver pipe.

As for the real body of the "learning machine", it is completely hidden from everyone's sight.

After Wei Hang put on the helmet, his breathing became rapid. Che Qian reminded him, "Don't be nervous. Just like I told you before, you won't feel any discomfort, just a slight daze."

After waiting for two minutes, when Wei Hang's breathing calmed down, Che Qian confirmed it one last time before pressing the start button.

Then Wei Hang stopped moving.
A little light effect appeared on the helmet, and light circles ran from the pipes behind the head to the helmet, as if knowledge was being instilled!
In fact, this is purely meaningless light pollution. It just looks good.

Just like if you install 100 LEDs in your computer case, it won't affect your crappy graphics card, crappy motherboard, or crappy CPU.
A progress bar appeared synchronously on the big screen outside.

"Chen Style Tai Chi 2 Postures" is the smallest of the three memory packages. In less than 100 minutes, the progress bar reaches %.

The helmet was untied, and the small screen on the inner wall also prompted Wei Hang that he could get up.

Wei Hang sat up with a confused look on his face. In his consciousness, he might have just been absent-minded for a few seconds.

Is this the end?
Che Qian guided him, "Recall the contents of 'Twenty-six Forms of Chen Style Tai Chi'. They should already be in your mind, and they should be deep and long-term memories."

Wei Hang didn't believe it at first, but after thinking about these words, it seemed to be true.
Che Qian smiled and said: "If possible, show it to everyone."

Wei Hang stood up and was silent for a few seconds, then subconsciously spread his legs and pressed his palms down slightly.
Then, naturally, a series of subsequent actions were taken.

Starting posture: Vajra Pounding the Mortar Lazy Tie Clothes. Six Seals, Four Closures, Single Whip, White Crane Spreads Wings
As the fight went on, Wei Hang was also constantly adjusting himself, and he was getting better and better.
Learning machines cannot instill muscle memory, but simple physical behaviors can be transcribed in the form of "memory".

Wei Hang was even shocked. He had some martial arts skills and had practiced "Six Qigong" for many years, but he had never practiced Tai Chi.
I have seen old men playing on the street, but being able to perform it yourself is completely different.

Seeing Wei Hang's own confused and doubtful expression, everyone in the venue also dispelled their last doubts and set off a tsunami of cheers!

"Holy shit! Is this really possible?"

"Master Zhou is awesome!" "Dear audience members! We have once again witnessed history!"

"This is definitely the greatest invention of mankind in the 21st century!"

------

Behind the crowd, which was cheering and going crazy as if the Chinese national football team had won the World Cup, two figures were watching from afar and talking in low voices.

One of them was wearing a baseball cap, and it was Zhou Rui, whose name was being called repeatedly.

The other one was a woman wearing smart casual clothes and had a heroic and beautiful face.

"Such a big news, I thought you would be the one to give the speech on stage. Congratulations, Mr. Zhou, another technology that changes the world."

Zhou Rui crossed his arms, looked at Che Qian and said, "Che Qian has gained experience, and he will gradually step to the front. Besides, I am always the one taking the lead, and everyone is tired of it."

"Che Qian has lost a lot of weight. He has changed a lot and has become more stable. He used to be in the Junwu Research Institute and his presence was not very strong."

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Time can change a lot, just like I didn't expect that you would change so much."

The person chatting with Zhou Rui at this time was an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Bai Xiaoying.

Compared to a few years ago, Bai Xiaoying's appearance has not changed much, but her temperament has become a little softer, and she has a more "casual" feeling, instead of being on guard all the time and tense at all times.

Back then, Bai Xiaoying was young, outstanding, and had a good family background with a bright future. If we make an analogy, she was no worse than rising stars like "Lin Tuo", who were also key training targets of the Shanghai Security Bureau.

But I haven't seen Zhou Rui for almost two years.
As Wei Hang stepped down and the second experiencer came on stage, Zhou Rui temporarily looked away and couldn't help asking:
"So what happened back then? I always thought you would come back sooner or later."

Bai Xiaoying still had that heroic face, but her hair had grown a little longer and was curled at the side of her ears, revealing half of her crystal earlobes.

Become more feminine.

She also stared ahead, some memories flashing through her eyes.

"One year during the Spring Festival, I took a long vacation. That was probably the first time that Lin Tuo filled in for me..."

Zhou Rui recalled and nodded. It was indeed the first time that Lintuo entered Furui Group. The reason was that Bai Xiaoying took a long vacation for more than two months.
"As I recall, your family member was ill? Didn't you say it was taken care of?"

He also asked at the time and mentioned that if there was anything he needed, he could ask.
Bai Xiaoying and he have experienced a lot together, including some special events with dangers. The two of them are not only protectors and protected, but also good friends.

Bai Xiaoying shook her head slightly: "It was only 'treated' within the scope of human ability. In fact, my father's prognosis after the operation was not very good. In other words, he lost the ability to take care of himself."

Zhou Rui's expression became heavier.
"After returning to Furui, I worked normally for a while, and then the organization arranged for me to go to Beijing North for closed-door study. This is a common operation, and it also means attention and training. However, my father passed away while I was studying in Beijing North, and the process was suspended."

Although she was talking about a very heavy topic, Bai Xiaoying's voice remained steady. As an expert in confidentiality work, she is very strong inside.

Bai Xiaoying said, "I mentioned this to you once. My parents supported my studies by growing potatoes. They lived in the countryside of Su Province all their lives. After I started working, our family's financial situation improved, but our lives did not. We could not take care of them at all. So after my father passed away, I felt very guilty and applied to be transferred back to Su Province to work."

"I was in a bad mood at the time, so I didn't tell anyone at Furui, including you. In terms of personnel affiliation, I am not a Furui employee. If you hadn't forcefully used your 'privilege', you wouldn't have been able to find out about my situation."

Zhou Rui sighed. So that's what was going on. He did ask about it a few times, but he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. At that time, he thought Bai Xiaoying was carrying out some secret long-term mission.

I didn't expect it was because of a dramatic family change.

He really knew nothing about biomedicine back then, but now he actually still has some skills. It's a pity that he is gone.

Bai Xiaoying smiled and said, "It's not too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost. I have taken my mother to the city where she works. That's about it. I won't talk about other things because it is still a confidential job."

Zhou Rui asked: "Will you return to Shanghai? Or other big cities?"

"I'm not sure about that. When I applied for the transfer, I requested that I wanted to take care of my mother in peace for at least the next few years. I didn't want to be transferred frequently to carry out major tasks. The organization was quite accommodating. I'm currently working in a civilian position, and I can be back in just one or two days when I'm away on business."

"In the first 20 years, they almost lived for me. In the last years, I have already missed my dad, and I cannot miss my mom anymore."

Zhou Rui pursed his lips and subconsciously wanted to say a few words of comfort.

But in the end I chose to shut up.

He had just learned about it, so he had a lot of emotions, but for others, there was no need to go into it further and bring up old wounds and display them again.

Zhou Rui said: "Why did you come to Hangzhou this time?"

Bai Xiaoying said: "I took a leave this time to bring my mother to the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University for a physical examination. The medical level in Su Province is still a little worse than that in the south. My father discovered the problem late and then got into trouble. I thought of coming to see the Science and Technology Expo by the way, and I didn't expect to meet you."

Zhou Rui was about to say something else when suddenly a man squeezed out from the crowd in front of him, wearing a bracelet with the number 7 written on it.

"Xiaoying! It's my turn soon! Come with me to the front!"

Zhou Rui was stunned and looked at the other person in surprise. He was tall, with a square face and glasses. He looked to be in his early thirties, and his accent had a bit of northwestern flavor.

It gives people a very simple but well-educated feeling.

Bai Xiaoying glanced at Zhou Rui and took the initiative to introduce him: "This is my boyfriend Cao Changrui."

Then he pointed at Zhou Rui and said, "This is my former colleague from the mainland. I won't introduce his identity."

The square-faced man immediately said with understanding: "I understand. I won't ask any more questions. Family members also have the obligation to keep the matter confidential, haha."

As he said this, he shook hands with Zhou Rui.

When Zhou Rui and Cao Changrui shook hands, Bai Xiaoying was secretly observing Zhou Rui's expression. This was a skill that she had to master.

She thought Zhou Rui wouldn't be able to find out, but she didn't know that Zhou Rui was different from a few years ago.

Zhou Rui noticed Bai Xiaoying's gaze and suppressed all expressions.

Inexplicable feelings, hidden admiration?

There are many people in Fu Rui Group who have similar feelings towards him. As far as he knows, Lin Xiaoxiao is the same. Bai Xiaoying may have felt the same way a little bit before.

After all, Zhou Rui is the dazzling one and always attracts attention.

But not everyone is "Han Ziyin".

At this moment, none of these are important anymore. They were just vague at the beginning and were far from being unforgettable. If you take the things that young men and women do seriously every time, life will be too tiring.

Bai Xiaoying herself didn't care much about it, and had no opinion about Cao Changrui.

She was just purely curious about Zhou Rui's reaction.

Bai Xiaoying lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Then let's go line up first. I'll take a few photos for Changrui."

Zhou Rui nodded and smiled, "Go ahead, I wish you have fun."

Bai Xiaoying said: "By the way, do you have any suggestions?"

Zhou Rui thought for a moment and said, "Don't choose '300 Children's Songs' because after instilling the memory, you may need to sing one in front of everyone to show off."

Cao Changrui, a man from the northwest, shuddered
What kind of torture is this?

Watching the two people leaving, Zhou Rui shouted one last time:

"Xiaobai, if you need help, remember to come to me. Just consider it a favor to me."

In the crowd, Bai Xiaoying was pulled by Cao Changrui and looked back at Zhou Rui.

He smiled and said "hmm".

Then turn around and keep moving forward.
