Zhang Xiaolan shook her head: "No, why did you suddenly ask such a question?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said with a smile: "Your current appearance has changed a lot compared to last time, as the saying goes, women are those who please themselves, if you don't have a partner, why do you want to dress up so fashionably?"

Zhang Xiaolan grinned: "I'm a girl, it's a woman's nature to love beauty, and I want to thank you for it, if you didn't take me to earn money, I wouldn't have the ability to dress up." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed: "It seems that I think too much, are you free these days? If I have time, I want to design drawings with you, I am responsible for the mechanical design, and you focus on the circuit structure, so that the work efficiency will be higher." ”

Zhang Xiaolan has long known that Niu Xiaoqiang and Kailena are living together, which is a very immoral thing in China, but it is very common in the United States. Zhang Xiaolan was not very disgusted by this, but she asked very seriously: "I still have plenty of time, I can start work at any time, I don't know where you are going to do the design? If it is in your rented house, will Miss Karina have any opinions after seeing it?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and waved his hand: "I have a computer and a printer there, just design it there, don't worry, Kailina is not the kind of woman you imagined, she will definitely have no opinion." ”

Zhang Xiaolan couldn't help laughing and said: "You are quite powerful, you have trained an American beauty to be so obedient, since you have said so, then I might as well be respectful." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang pretended to ignore Zhang Xiaolan's ridicule, nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's start work tomorrow, your salary is calculated according to 1,000 US dollars per day, work 8 hours a day, and less than a day will be charged at 125 US dollars per hour." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang has always been very generous to Zhang Xiaolan, and every time he asks Zhang Xiaolan to work, he offers a high salary.

Zhang Xiaolan said thank you, nodded with a smile and agreed.

Niu Xiaoqiang said goodbye and went home, and when he saw that it was almost time to get off work, he simply put on an apron and went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

At dinner, he told Kailina about Zhang Xiaolan coming to the house to do design, and Kailina really didn't have any opinion after hearing it, but told Zhang Xiaolan not to enter her room at will.

Niu Xiaoqiang knew that Kailina was a person who paid great attention to personal privacy, and said with a smile that he would definitely pay attention.

After a night of silence, starting the next morning, Niu Xiaoqiang and Zhang Xiaolan worked together to design the second-generation artificial intelligence robot.

is different from the carelessness of designing the first generation of intelligent robots, this time Niu Xiaoqiang is relatively serious. He felt that the income this time was much higher than the last time, and since he had taken so much money from other people, it was better to be serious, and the work he did should at least be worthy of this high income.

Once Niu Xiaoqiang starts to get serious, it's a different concept entirely. Under his leadership, the second-generation AI robots have a more sci-fi appearance, more precise and flexible transmissions, and more reasonable mechanical structures.

Niu Xiaoqiang is very sure: as long as this new robot can be built according to his own ideas, its hardware performance will rise by at least two steps.

Niu Xiaoqiang is not only very serious himself, but also asks Zhang Xiaolan to be as serious as him.

Zhang Xiaolan is not surprised that Niu Xiaoqiang has such a rigorous work attitude, because this time she is following Niu Xiaoqiang to start the design from scratch, so she is very assertive in the circuit structure, and can always put forward a very feasible design plan, even Niu Xiaoqiang is very impressed by this.

Elaine Chang was already highly gifted in electronic information, and later studied at Boston University, and she studied very hard, so her own talent has been better expanded and explored, and it is no exaggeration to say that her attainments in this field have surpassed many of the most professional electronic engineers.

Time slipped away unconsciously, and by the time the two of them finished the blueprints, eight days had passed.

On the afternoon of the eighth day, Niu Xiaoqiang printed out the designed drawings. When the printer was spitting out paper, Zhang Xiaolan couldn't help but stretch, and then rubbed her sour eyes: "It's finally finished, and it's really hard work to do design." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang joked with a smile: "Otherwise, you think the money is really so easy to make." ”

Zhang Xiaolan couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoqiang, how much money can you earn this time?"

Professor Watson has successfully applied for the upgrade funding, which is a bit lower than originally expected, and only received a total of $8.5 million.

Niu Xiaoqiang did not hide Zhang Xiaolan, and said honestly: "Aside from the manufacturing cost, I should be able to earn $3.5 million this time." ”

In order to make investors feel that the money is well spent, Niu Xiaoqiang did not do it as shoddy as last time, the parts he selected are the top, so the price is relatively expensive, so the production cost of the robot is rising upwards, according to his estimates, the manufacturing of the second generation of intelligent robots will cost about 1.5 million US dollars.

The total cost of the upgrade is $8.5 million, leaving $7 million after deducting the $1.5 million manufacturing cost. According to the agreement between Niu Xiaoqiang and Robert, the money will be divided equally between the two.

As for the cost of writing software, this is basically non-existent, Robert does not need to pay for any equipment, he can use the supercomputer in the laboratory to complete the programming work.

Zhang Xiaolan admired Niu Xiaoqiang's ability to make money, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Not long ago, you made a lot of money through a supercomputer, and in just a few days, you have engaged in such a big project, I am completely convinced, since you have earned so much money, can the plan of investing in the home appliance industry be implemented?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: " I told you before that when I go back to visit relatives at the end of the year, I will implement this matter, then I will definitely not break my promise, in order to implement this plan, I am ready to spend five million dollars to purchase major equipment, such as the equipment for manufacturing TV motherboards and displays, these things are not available in China, can only be purchased from abroad, the price is very expensive, even the smallest model, it adds up to at least four and a half million dollars, as for the production equipment of the shell and signal decoder, this is relatively much cheaper, estimated that half a million dollars is almost enough, these belong to the main parts, not so major parts we can purchase from the outside, and then ship back to assemble。 ”
