Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

November 19, Hangzhou.

It may not snow in East China this season, but it is already the beginning of winter. When the cold wind blows, the hippocampus will freeze to death.

But this still cannot stop the excitement of Hangzhou. Since a few days ago, Hangzhou's airport has entered a busy period. Every day, flights from all over the country and around the world are dropping like dumplings. Just circle it.

Because the "China International Science and Technology Expo", referred to as the "Science and Technology Expo" is about to open.

This is the second large-scale event held in China this year. Because all people can participate, it is even more powerful than the "Hangcheng Summit".

Visitors from all directions include companies and units participating in the exhibition, investors with cash in hand, and international “friends” who come to learn about the progress of their peers. Most of them come from all over the world to enjoy this technological feast.

Domestic media have also begun to follow up and report. Yangma has to mention it every day on the news network. The official media and online media continue to flood the screen with news about major companies, revelations about exhibition venues, introductions to preparations, and random citizens on the road. Interview or something.

The "China Science and Technology Expo" lasts for seven days. In addition to the fixed area of ​​the main venue, there will be a different theme every day, such as "Biology and Agriculture", "Energy and Environmental Protection", "Aviation and Aerospace", etc.

Outside the fixed area, other areas of the "Qianjiang Smart City" will also have different special activities, theme performances, etc. according to the theme.

Today is the first day of the expo, and the theme is "Biology and Agriculture."

The unmanned buses in Qianjiang Smart City are becoming busy again, and drones are flying in and out of smart towers like swarms.

The smart city system built by enlightened intelligence has once again become the traffic password of global self-media.

Drone logistics network, smart city cleaning system, smart tour guide. There are many facilities that are close to "showing off skills". For many people, just walking around Qianjiang Smart City without going into any venue is quite enough. Yu watched a "Technology Expo".

"Look! Those huge fish are called 'koi' in China, but these are all bionic smart devices! They are extremely high-tech!"

Beside a pool, a white man was introducing himself to his companions.

Two months ago, he was lucky enough to attend the Hangzhou Summit. It was the most dreamy few days in his life. Later, when he got the news that a "Science and Technology Expo" would be held here, he immediately applied for a visitor quota and bought it for seven days in a row. Super package, even brought friends.

The companions were all country bumpkins who had never been to China. They were full of curiosity as they looked at the huge carp full of biological and mechanical beauty.

It’s not surprising that they have been shocked for a hundred years along the way. Now, no one will be surprised to see anything here, even if a "T800" suddenly walks out.

The leading white man continued: "This bionic device is not just a decoration. In addition to being for viewing, it also plays a role in purifying water and cleaning garbage. By the way, it also has a special mechanism."

He took out a wad of chewing gum paper from his pocket and threw it into the pool gracefully: "If someone litters, they will shoot out water jets as a warning, but this mechanism is regarded as an interesting game by many tourists."

Sure enough, the big koi carp detected the fluctuation in the water surface, immediately swam over and swallowed the paper ball.

With that diameter, even a mineral water bottle can be swallowed whole.

But the imaginary water column did not appear, and a sound came from the big koi.

"Warning! You will be fined for littering!"

Immediately afterwards, four or five drones with red and blue lights flew over, surrounding the white people and making the companions behind them tremble.

"Littering, fine 50."

"Please open the QR code on your mobile phone to scan the payment, or follow the instructions to the management office to pay cash. If you do not cooperate, we will impose further penalties and restrictions."

The white man smiled with a stiff face and could only take out his mobile phone: "Haha. It seems that they have updated their operating mechanism."

So fucking embarrassing! It wasn’t like this last time!

He has even seen people throwing garbage into the pool to cool down just because it was too hot!

Not far away, a team of obviously college students witnessed the whole process and showed disdain in their eyes.

“Foreigners are really incompetent”

"It's so cold here. It's only a few degrees. Why do I feel so uncomfortable?"

"Wei Hang, your family seems to be from the south. Are you used to the West Lake vinegar fish yesterday?"

A tall and strong young man immediately shook his head: "No, no, no, my family is from Zhu City, Dong Province. Don't get involved. And for us, Hangzhou is also in the north."

They are all students of Harbin Institute of Technology. As one of the top universities in the country's military industry and capable of launching rockets by itself, it is impossible not to participate in this "Science and Technology Expo".

The school sent 8 teams covering aviation, aerospace, heavy industry, materials and other fields to participate in the exhibition.

At the same time, he was willing to spend money and organized outstanding students from the school to visit Hangzhou with a group, all with a seven-day package.

Moreover, the school has great reputation and has introduced many "limited reservation system" visiting qualifications, including the most anticipated "Furui Pavilion".

The competition for places is extremely fierce. If you haven’t won a national scholarship, don’t talk to the counselor about it! This team of 30 people are all outstanding students of all grades, from undergraduate to graduate students.

The teacher leading the group held a flag and guided them all the way. They left the hotel at seven o'clock and visited many places. It was now close to nine o'clock and they started to move towards the main exhibition area.

The entrance was crowded with people. Although they had to make an appointment with tickets, everyone wanted to enter the venue early. The group from Harbin Institute of Technology stood at the end of the line, but soon more people came.

When I was swaying forward like a baby, a large group of people in suits and leather shoes passed by, and there were many security personnel protecting them. I walked in from the "VIP channel" next door.

The ticket sales of the "Sci-Tech Expo" did not distinguish between ordinary and VIP. This VIP was reserved for specially invited participants, such as officials from various countries and executives of large companies. Wei Hang looked over curiously.

"It seems to be the CEO of Kuke Apple"

He could only recognize this one, but soon others also called out.

"Peter, CEO of ASML?"

"And Kindler, CEO of Pfizer.?"

"Strange, isn't the theme of agriculture and biology today?"

"Are you stupid? Many booths in the main exhibition area are fixed, and some companies span multiple businesses"

"For example, Furui Group."

Seeing so many CEOs of large companies entering, the people in line were more looking forward to what it would look like inside.

The HIT team queued for another 40 minutes and finally scanned the code to enter the main exhibition area.

The main exhibition area has four areas, each of which is so large that you can't see the end at a glance. There is also a U-shaped two-story structure, with some unimportant booths and convenience stores, restaurants and other shops.

As soon as you enter the venue, the most eye-catching thing is a huge sculpture that runs through the roof.

The main body is a DNA-like double helix structure that continues to extend, with a diameter of more than one meter. The higher it goes, the more it blooms, like a blooming flower.

And on the columnar main body, there are many smaller "artifacts" inlaid. If you look closely, you can tell that there are "Ganshi Xingjing", "Wu Wang Fa Zhou Li Gui", "Sun Tzu's Art of War Bamboo Slips", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Iron Plow", "Fire Gun", "Cannon" and so on.

These small artifacts seem to be arranged according to time, with the bottom representing the past brilliance and the top representing modern achievements.

"Symbol of nuclear energy", "Dongfanghong-1 satellite", "Nantianmen platform", "Chang'e-3 lunar probe", "high-speed rail head", "supercomputing model", "Beidou", "VCD", "hybrid rice", "U disk", etc.

Due to the angle, the whole picture cannot be seen at the entrance, but it is still shocking.

The overall feeling is vigorous and increasingly brilliant. The best thing is that there is a huge red flag above the sculpture, which is very festive.

Many people want to stop and take pictures, but the organizer seems to have predicted the tourists' predictions and directly pulled the cordon. Some people hold a loudspeaker: "Please do not stay here. Please move inside first to take pictures."

Wei Hang can only put the half-pulled mobile phone back silently.

At the same time, the most special "Fu Rui Pavilion" in the center, which is surrounded by the four major exhibition areas, is more crowded than the entrance.

This is a circular single building, the area is far less than the four main exhibition areas, but it is unique and very face-saving.

What's interesting is that the "Fu Rui Pavilion" is right below the largest "smart tower" in Qianjiang Smart City, or it wraps the base of the smart tower. There are people like a long dragon below, but the drones above are not disturbed, coming in and out, serving the entire Qianjiang Smart City.

After all, Fu Rui Group is a leading benchmark in Chinese science and technology, and it is also one of the builders of Qianjiang Smart City. At the beginning, Hangzhou owed favors to people, and it was reasonable to occupy a pavilion.

Fu Rui Pavilion is a separate reservation system. Even if there are tickets for the main venue, you need to make a separate reservation. There is no charge, but the flow is controlled in real time and the number is limited.

50% of the places were distributed online by application before the opening, and the remaining 50% were released every day to ensure that on-site visitors also have a chance.

The admission time of Fu Rui Pavilion is slightly later than that of the main exhibition area, about 9:30.

Looking at the watch, the lucky person who was in the first line of the queue was excitedly waiting for the staff to check the tickets, but looking around, there was still no one to manage it.

The gate in front opened automatically.

A voice rang out from the ceiling: "Please go forward in order."

The long queue moved about ten meters inside and was divided into four teams. There were four glass doors in front.

You can vaguely see a dazzling array of things behind the glass door. I don't know what mysterious technology is hidden, but there is still no ticket inspector.

The first visitor was confused. What happened? Misarrangement error? Bug?

While wondering, a cry of surprise came from the crowd.

"Fuck! Look!"

"What is that!"

The first visitor turned his head quickly and saw that the wall on the side began to surge at some point. At this time, he found that these walls had fine metal patterns.

After a while, a pair of more than one meter long robotic arms appeared on the left and right sides of each entrance, one of which was a gripper structure and the other was a camera structure.

"Fuck! Master Zhou's intelligent unit! Can it be applied to such a large volume?"

"So cool! What's the difference between this and a liquid robot?"

The gripper-structured robotic arm took the visitor's pass from the first person, scanned it with the camera, and said, "Verification passed, please come in."

The man was stunned until the person behind urged him to move forward.

After a while, he reacted and suddenly jumped up with his fists in his hands.

He made a strange, broken cry:

"Master Zhou is awesome!"
