Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 655 The Incredible Defense Robot
These robots don't look short at all; they appear to be around 1.8 meters tall.

They stood on one side of the parking area, lined up in two rows, looking imposing and even somewhat menacing.

Besides Wang Ping'an and others, it also attracted many employees from other departments to stop and watch.

The crowd circled around the robots several times, finding them quite fascinating.

I wonder if these things can move.

If it can move, what's the point?

"Could this be a model? Just for decoration?"

"It might be a prop from a performance at the Tiger Cliff Restaurant."

"But this thing should be able to move; it's definitely not just for show."

Just then, Yu Sheng and A Wang came out, followed by a handsome, dashing young man.

Most of the people present, including Wang Ping'an and Zhang Aping, had never met the boss before, but they had heard that he was very young.

Now, seeing how Yu Sheng and A Wang treated that handsome guy, everyone knew that he must be the boss.

After Yu Sheng's introduction...

As expected, this is Hu Jiangshan, the actual head of Jiangshan Group and the owner of Tenglong Island.

Wang Ping'an, Zhang Aping, and the others had all guessed it, but they were still very surprised. They never expected their boss to be like this.

Not only is he so young, but he's also incredibly handsome.

This is what is meant by being young and rich.

Of course, besides these, personal ability is even more important.

It is said that Jiangshan Group, such a large enterprise, was basically built up by its owner, Hu Jiangshan, with relatively little support from his family.

I really don't know which door or window God closed for Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan is simply too perfect; everyone who's envious, jealous, or hateful knows where to begin.

Yu Sheng introduced these new faces to Hu Jiangshan, who nodded to them and shook hands with each of them, expressing his encouragement.

Everyone was extremely respectful and showed Hu Jiangshan utmost deference.

This is normal. Hu Jiangshan is a big boss. Whether they can work here, what kind of work they can do, how much power they have, and how much money they can earn are all factors to consider.

That's all up to Hu Jiangshan's word.

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan was very approachable, tactful, and maintained a proper distance, indicating that he was quite experienced and adept at being a boss.

To have such composure at such a young age is something no ordinary person could do, let alone a typical scion of a wealthy family or a spoiled brat.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Hu Jiangshan got straight to the point.

Hu Jiangshan first looked at Yusheng and Awang and said, "I remember you said before that the current security structure on the island is problematic, and that there is too little manpower, so it is impossible to be completely secure."

Yu Sheng and A Wang exchanged a glance and quickly nodded.

They did mention it to Hu Jiangshan a few times, but it was never in a formal setting; it was all just casual conversation.

It seems that Hu Jiangshan has kept this matter in mind, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

Yu Sheng said, "Boss, we are indeed quite troubled by this matter, but for the time being there are no major problems. We are just worried that some unscrupulous people might take advantage of the loopholes to sneak in."

Ah Wang also said, "Yes, boss, we're just worried about problems in the future. It's okay for the security team to work overtime and work harder now."

The others nodded in agreement.

It's not that they're afraid of hard work; the key issue is that the island's security loopholes are too big. With only a few dozen security personnel guarding such a large island, there will always be situations where they can only focus on one aspect while neglecting others.

Furthermore, if a large-scale invasion were to occur, the defense forces would not be sufficient to drive them out, and might even be counter-attacked.

This is not just unfounded worry; Tenglong Island is no ordinary outlying island, as its space launch site is an extremely sensitive facility.

Just a few months ago, the space launch site suffered a powerful cyberattack, and even intruders managed to land on the island, but failed to enter the launch site.

Hu Jiangshan smiled: "I know the situation, so I've found a solution for us."

Awang immediately pointed at the robots and said, "Boss, these aren't the robots, are they?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "Yes, these are the machines."

Everyone looked at each other.

Although these robots look very imposing and powerful, and seem to have great fighting capabilities, they are still just robots after all.

It's hard to imagine them replacing human labor and solving any security issues.

There are indeed some robots operating on Tenglong Island. For example, there are indoor cleaning robots in the office building, outdoor cleaning robots outside, and some robots specifically for maintaining green plants.

Oh, and you can occasionally see underwater cleaning robots on the seabed.

However, these robots don't seem to move very fast; they're slow and clumsy, making it hard to imagine that they could be used as security guards.

Hu Jiangshan knew what they were thinking and said with a smile, "Don't worry, these are specially designed robots, the latest achievement of our company. They are much stronger than ordinary people."

As he spoke, Hu Jiangshan took out something that looked like a tablet computer, operated it a few times, and then the mask of a robot lit up and it started up.

Then, the robot's arms and legs began to move.

The robot, which had been standing there motionless, startled everyone and made them involuntarily take a step back.

Goodness, that's quite a commotion!

Then the robot started making all sorts of movements.

First it walks, then it runs, then it jumps, and it can even do somersaults and perform martial arts moves.

Then, the robot suddenly got into a fighting stance, and weapon-like objects appeared from its arms.

It can launch capture nets and also has the ability to electrocute.

The dazzling display of skill left everyone speechless.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Wang Defa! So cool!"

"This is so cool, it feels like science fiction."

"Are tech people this skilled now? I thought it would be good enough if they could even walk."

Hu Jiangshan was very satisfied with the reactions of these people, which showed that the design of the defense robot's functions and features was very successful.

Hu Jiangshan said, "These robots are very mobile, equipped with the most advanced sensors, and have a certain degree of autonomy, so we can send commands to them."

"Equipping a patrol team with just one of these units will be a powerful asset."

Everyone was truly stunned; they never imagined the robot's capabilities would be so strong—it was like watching a science fiction movie. At this time, some robot dogs did indeed appear, available for purchase for tens of thousands of yuan.

The only humanoid robot products available are concentrated in the United States and Japan.
For example, Atlas's humanoid robot, and Asimov's simple life.

However, these robots have filmed a lot of videos, but they have never been shown in real life, and some people suspect that the videos are all fake.

The robot in front of me is indeed incredibly powerful.

Hu Jiangshan then told everyone that these robots also have a strong battery life, can work for seven or eight hours on a full charge, and are also capable of being recharged by solar energy.

Yu Sheng, Awang, and Wang Ping'an were shocked, but they finally understood why Hu Jiangshan was so confident.

With so many robots assisting, the security pressure on Tenglong Island will be much less.

The crowd circled around the robots, finding them increasingly fascinating.

After Hu Jiangshan and the others had seen enough, he called them into the restaurant, found a quiet place, and taught them how to operate the equipment and send commands. He told them to learn first and ask him if they didn't understand anything.

Actually, there's nothing I don't understand. These robots are very easy to operate. Hu Jiangshan has done his best to make them user-friendly, with no learning curve.

Yu Sheng, A Wang, Wang Ping'an, and the others quickly understood the general idea and nodded in agreement.

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan left.

Others are still studying these defensive robots, occasionally exchanging heated arguments, and doing so quite seriously.

Hu Jiangshan returned to his villa and began a period of seclusion, organizing data on the electromagnetic rail launcher.

Two days later, at Beijing Capital International Airport.

A television station's interview vehicle was parked in the airport parking lot. This interview vehicle clearly belonged to a major television station, with a large logo on the outside, which was none other than China's CCTV.

The car door opened, and three people got out.

One of them is a stunning beauty, Yang Bingbing, a top female host on CCTV.

No, Yang Bingbing is still a new host at CCTV and lacks experience, but she has great potential and is a key young host being cultivated by CCTV.

In a few years, Yang Bingbing will be very famous and become one of the nation's goddesses.

The other two are Yang Bingbing's partners; one is called Xiao Zhao, and the other is called Awei.

Ah Wei opened the trunk and took out his photography equipment.

As he adjusted the equipment, he casually asked, "Bingbing, how many people are we going to interview this time?"

Yang Bingbing shook her head: "I don't know. The leader said this is a professional conference in the aerospace field, so there should be quite a few people attending."

Xiao Zhao said, "I heard that there are also experts flying in from abroad, it's quite a big entourage."

Yang Bingbing said, "This is a grand event in the aerospace field, so the scale will be very large. I heard that some private aerospace companies from abroad have also been invited to participate."

Xiao Zhao paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "Could there be private space companies from the United States? Like SpaceX, for example?"

Yang Bingbing shook her head and said she didn't know.

Awei said, "It should be difficult. It seems that the United States prohibits cooperation with us in the aerospace field."

Xiao Zhao said, "That's not necessarily true. People from SpaceX have even come to talk to the space agency about cooperation. They are a private company, so they shouldn't be subject to this restriction. Even if they are, they can still negotiate."

Yang Bingbing nodded: "Indeed, I did some research beforehand. SpethX and the Gas Group also have a rocket launch site project in Hong Kong. In theory, there shouldn't be any obstacles to inviting them."

"Do you think Aaron Malak will come in person?"

"Haha, that's impossible, she's a very busy person."

Yang Bingbing took out a lapel microphone from her bag, clipped it to her collar, and said, "Anyway, all the people coming this time are big shots, so we need to be careful about our attitude. We can't let anyone find fault with us, or they'll report us to the station, and we'll be in big trouble."

Awei and Xiao Zhao nodded, both indicating that they couldn't be careless.

The three of them checked their belongings again and then quickly left the parking lot and went to the terminal.

This time, Yang Bingbing and her team received a rather demanding interview assignment: to interview some experts in the aerospace field.

The fact that these experts came from all over the country and even the world to attend this high-level forum in the aerospace field held in the capital shows that it is a very high-level event.

In general, various professional fields hold several major events every year, but the aerospace field has relatively few.

It's quite difficult to get all these experts together and invite them over. These bigwigs are all in important positions and are very busy with important tasks. How to allocate their time is a major challenge.

Today, two flights are carrying several groups of aerospace experts, including aerospace experts from mainland China and leading figures from the field abroad. It is very necessary to interview them.

As mentioned earlier, Yang Bingbing had just joined the TV station and had previously hosted some minor programs. Only recently has she started entrusting them with important interview tasks.

Therefore, Yang Bingbing attaches great importance to this matter and is determined to do it well. She absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes, mess things up, or even do it imperfectly.

A moment later, Yang Bingbing, Xiao Zhao, and Awei arrived at the terminal exit hall.

There are quite a few people here now. Some are holding signs and standing by the exit, all there to pick up people.

Yang Bingbing looked up at the flight schedule and finally found the two flights they needed to pick up.

"Alright, we've made it. We still have ten minutes before landing. Get ready."

Yang Bingbing and the other two quickly found the reception point.

A banner at the reception area read: "Welcome guests to the Aerospace Exchange Forum."

Yang Bingbing quickly went over to try and get information from the people at the reception desk.

There were four staff members at the reception desk. Yang Bingbing started chatting with one of them, a girl named Lili.

Yang Bingbing asked, "Who are the most important guests we've invited this time? Can you give us a sneak peek?"

Lily laughed and said, "Well, it's really hard to say who's the heavyweight. They all seem quite heavyweight, big shots in their respective fields."

“Let’s pick a few famous people to talk about.”

Lily thought about it for a moment and then simply took out the form, since it wasn't exactly a secret anyway.

Besides, Yang Bingbing is a host on CCTV, a legitimate organization, and knows how to behave appropriately. There's no need to worry about them spreading these things around carelessly.

Yang Bingbing glanced at it briefly, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Speth X, they're sending people over too?"

Lily glanced at the list and nodded: "Yes, Speth X will send a team over."

"Who will they send? I don't see any names listed."

"Well... we don't know either. They didn't provide a list, but at least it should be a senior executive."

Yang Bingbing said "Oh," and wondered if Aaron Malak would really come in person.

If he really comes, that would be awesome.
