Chapter 003: Robot Dog
"Hi Victor. Mr. Hugo. Can you tell me what you're talking to my wife and daughter? "David. Lawrence asked mockingly.
"Well......, actually, I'm just putting on a theatrical performance. You see, I've managed to amuse you all. Zhou Qingfeng could only say that. At the same time, he complained to himself in his heart, 'Victor. Hugo's name, secretly thinking: how can he have the same name as the great French writer?
"Oh! It looks like you've been a success. "David. Lawrence then smiled and invited, "Come to our house for dinner?" I don't want to see you burn down your house again for cooking. ”
What does it mean to burn ...... house?
Zhou Qingfeng followed David. Lawrence's eyes turned to look behind him. I saw a black house behind me, or a house that was made extremely miserable by smoke and fire.
The windows of the house have been burned into holes, and part of the roof has been carbonized. When you look in from the outside, you can see that the furniture in the house is also burned, and the floor is blackened, looking like a haunted house.
This house is my house? Jehovah, are you mistaken? I didn't let you give me a mansion, so I could give me a house that I could live in! It's too stingy to give me such a place.
Zhou Qingfeng looked at his dilapidated house and sighed very unhappily. David. Lawrence stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said in relief, "Don't worry, I'll fix the house for you." Just give me some time. Come on, Rachel must have dinner ready. ”
How much time do you have left? Three days later, the whole of New York was in chaos, and three months later, there was a nuclear bomb that washed the floor, and I didn't want to live in this place permanently.
Zhou Qingfeng understands that his current priority is not to collect as many supplies as possible, but to follow the Lawrence family to build a good relationship and lay the foundation for dealing with the impending cataclysm. David. Lawrence is the leading actor, and he will never die if he is lucky in three months.
"Thank you, I don't know how to be grateful!" Zhou Qingfeng obediently walked into the Lawrence family's house and sat in the living room waiting for dinner.
The level of technology in 2030 will be much higher than that in 2016, and there will be intelligent home devices everywhere. Although the Lawrence family is not wealthy, they still have some good things at home. For example, as soon as Zhou Qingfeng sat down on the sofa, a home robot drove over and asked him, "Mr. Hugo, do you want to drink something?" ”
The family robot is not big, the round head and round brain are quite cute, and they rely on two small tracks as a walking device. Almost all the electronic devices in the whole house are controlled by it, which is very convenient.
The robot was named 'ET' by Angie, and its brain stored a lot of data. Angie took it with her when she fled with her father.
"No, I don't want to drink anything yet." Zhou Qingfeng first refused. But when he saw that the Lawrence family was busy in the kitchen, he asked, "Can you check my information?" I want to see where I am now, especially my property situation and relationships. ”
"Of course, I'll contact the public database right away." The eyes of the home robot began to make a virtual projection, showing a screen in front of Zhou Qingfeng.
"Mr. Hugo, you moved to Murdoch Avenue two years ago and have always lived alone. You live on social assistance and occasionally do odd jobs to earn a small income. You have a small social circle and basically only know the Lawrence family. ”
With the introduction of ET, Zhou Qingfeng probably knew his identity. To put it bluntly, they are poor people who have no money, no friends, no status, their wallets are cleaner than their faces, and they live on social assistance, but somehow they have a good relationship with the Lawrence family.
Well, Jehovah, count you ruthless! Lao Tzu's identity is also a tabula rasa, almost nothing, and the only place where he landed was burned by fire.
After learning about his identity, Zhou Qingfeng still asked ET to get him a drink. But when the smart machine brought him the drink, he turned his attention to the futuristic technology device.
It's nice to have such a robot at home! Of course, this highly intelligent thing is not cheap. David. Lawrence's $60,000 annual income is absolutely impossible to afford a new one, which is all cobbled together from scrap electronic parts that Anji finds in the second-hand market.
However, after Zhou Qingfeng saw ET, his heart began to move. He is alone and really needs a reliable assistant, and an intelligent robot is very good. And in three days, the whole of New York will be in chaos, which is a good time to take advantage of it.
"ET, where is the best human-assisted intelligent robot in New York?" Zhou Qingfeng asked
ET replied: "In terms of the current world rankings, the best personal assistance robot is the four-legged canine-shaped intelligent machine 'Dog Meat', which Columbia University has just completed.
Unlike me, which can only be used at home, 'Dog Meat' has the ability to walk in complex terrain with its four legs and body using bionic muscles and bones. It is equipped with a graphene battery with sufficient energy reserves, giving it a load capacity of 200 kilograms and more than a week of activity.
And it has reached the level of an eight-year-old child, can handle more complex situations, and even has the ability to learn on its own. By comparison, I was only at the level of a two-year-old. ”
Columbia University? It's right in Manhattan, New York. And Zhou Qingfeng has seen this dog in the movie, it is David. Lawrence's pet from a small sidekick. To be honest, it is really enviable to take such a robot dog that can fight, kill and sell cuteness as a pet.
"By the way, where am I now?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"200th Street, Murdoch Avenue, Queens, New York." ET displays a map on the projection screen showing Zhou's current location.
"Is there any way to get that 'dog meat'?" Zhou Qingfeng felt that it was also very good to have a robot dog by his side, at least cool, and very practical.
"'Dog meat' is an experimental product developed with the support of the United States and is not sold to the public. It is said to have cost more than two billion dollars to develop, and it took more than a decade to produce only one prototype. The chances of you getting it are extremely low. ET said.
The U.S. side? Three days later, the US ** side disappeared directly, there is nothing to be afraid of!
"ET, can you help me assess the likelihood of me getting this robot dog if the military personnel disappear?" Zhou Qingfeng asked unrelentingly.
When the cataclysm happened, everyone was either busy scavenging for supplies, or they were smashing and looting and committing crimes. But a few people know that before chaos comes, it is better to find a few helpers than anything else! As long as your own strength is strong, you can grab money, food, and girls, and you will have everything!
But ET's assessment didn't provide Zhou Qingfeng with any good results, and it still said, 'The likelihood of you getting it is extremely low'.
"Why?" Zhou Qingfeng was furious, the US government is gone, the US ** side has disappeared, and even the American police are nowhere to be found, can't I still handle this thing?
ET said, "Because of Tony. Parker is already planning to steal the robot dog, and if you want to join the competition now, the chances of winning are extremely low. ”
What...... that annoying little henchman is now starting to hit the dog's attention?
