Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 288 [The Commercialization of Humanoid Robots]

With Hu Sai taking on this matter, Xiao Yu was relieved. Given Hu Sai's current reputation, the whole world believed what they had already admitted, and no one could overturn the verdict.

Xiao Yu stopped paying attention to the matter and returned to Earth to experience the power of the N-800 nano-armor for the first time. He did not forget that Yan Lingjun and Prism Company were still helping him purchase supplies on Blue Star.

Two days later, Xiao Yu returned to Blue Star World and stayed there for half a month, waiting for the purchased goods to arrive.

Because of the 500-fold difference in time flow between the two worlds, Xiao Yu cannot wait on Earth. Otherwise, if he stayed on Earth for a year, not even a day would have passed on Blue Star.

These matters no longer require Xiao Yu's personal attention. Luo Guanqi, who is in charge of Prism Company, and Yan Lingjun will handle them for him. He just needs to wait for the results. He can treat it as a half-month vacation on Blue Star World and spend some time alone with Yan Lingjun.

……

Lanxing Fengquan City, villa residence.

Today marks the seventeenth day since Xiao Yu returned to the Blue Star world. The time is almost up.

"The goods you requested have all been secured through the company's procurement channels." Yan Lingjun, who had just returned from Prism Company, changed out of her work clothes into casual clothes, sat down next to Xiao Yu, and pushed a holographic screen panel in front of him.

The holographic panel clearly displayed the purchased items. Yan Lingjun added, "They will all be in place by tomorrow, and you can move the goods away at any time."

Xiao Yu's main target this time is room temperature superconducting materials, followed by graphene materials.

3 tons of room-temperature superconducting materials and 10 tons of graphene materials were purchased. Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the information panel. The amount of "goods" he "purchased" from Blue Star World this time was enough to meet the production capacity on Earth for several years.

This year, Xiao Yu reported a production capacity of 800 to 1000 tons for room temperature superconducting materials, with plans to double the production in two years. Based on a base of 1000 tons, 3 tons would be enough for 10 years of production capacity.

However, plans are not set in stone. Xiao Yu certainly wouldn't actually spend 10 years producing only 3 tons of room-temperature superconducting materials; that would be far too slow.

This isn't a big problem; we can adjust and change things flexibly when the time comes. The initial reported production capacity wasn't much, and Xiao Yu was doing this to leave himself enough room for maneuver.

If too much is reported, it will be difficult to reduce the amount later. If less is reported, it will be easy for Xiao Yu to increase the amount later. He can simply increase the purchase volume from the Blue Star world. The difference in the relative time flow between the two worlds will give him enough time to prepare.

Finally, Xiao Yu closed the information panel, turned his head to look at Yan Lingjun and said, "Leave the rest to me. You go and do your organization's work."

Yan Lingjun nodded, leisurely got up and headed to the bathroom. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back to Xiao Yu and said with a smile, "You have to give this to me later..."

Xiao Yu looked at her and smiled, "No need to wait, we can give it to you now, while you wash."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingjun smiled charmingly, and she too became aroused, urging, "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up!"

Xiao Yu didn't hesitate and immediately got up to greet them. He had paid his share of grain taxes over the past half month, and Yan Lingjun had also mastered the skills.

At this moment, Xiao Yu, who had come to Yan Lingjun's side, casually put his arm around her slender waist and couldn't help but sigh, "You, I really didn't expect your needs to be so strong. If this continues, I'll soon become your dregs. I feel like I'll lose more than a hundred years of my life."

Yan Lingjun covered her mouth and giggled, giving him a disapproving look before calmly saying, "What's the big deal? With today's advanced medical technology, we can just replace whatever's broken. And even if the whole thing is ruined, we can just transplant the memories into a cloned body and it'll be back to full health."

Her words left Xiao Yu speechless for a moment. The level of life science in the Blue Star world was too abnormal, so much so that she could take whatever she wanted without fear.

Xiao Yu glanced at Yan Lingjun and said in a deliberately fierce tone, "Watch how I teach you a lesson..."

...The following day, Xiao Yu transported the purchased goods back to Earth.

This is something I have to do myself; I can't ask anyone for help, not even Yan Lingjun.

Fortunately, Yan Lingjun was incredibly understanding and tolerant of Xiao Yu in this matter and trusted him completely. As long as Xiao Yu didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask, which saved Xiao Yu a lot of trouble.

In Xiao Yu's eyes, Yan Lingjun is now an impeccable and virtuous wife, except that her needs are too strong. However, this is not a bad thing, as Xiao Yu himself actually enjoys it and finds pleasure in it.

The advanced medical technology and life sciences of the Blue Star world meant he had nothing to worry about and wasn't afraid of ruining his health.

Just as Yan Lingjun said, if you damage something and replace it, your whole body will collapse. But if you get a new body and have your memories transplanted, you'll be back to full health. So you should just do whatever makes you comfortable.

After Xiao Yu brought the goods to Earth, he spent several days with Yan Lingjun before returning to Earth.

……

After returning to Earth, Xiao Yu focused on Lingjing Technology. The next technology he would work on was developing the exoskeleton powered armor that the Army had been eagerly anticipating.

However, before we can bring out the exoskeleton-equipped power armor, we need to develop humanoid robots as a transitional technology, which is a prerequisite for the power armor.

June has arrived.

Lingjing Technology Headquarters, Chairman's Office.

"Come in."

Xiao Yu answered the knock on the door casually, glanced up, and saw his assistant, Yun Shu, walking gracefully in. Xiao Yu smiled and asked, "What is it?"

Approaching Xiao Yu, Yun Shu asked, "The humanoid robot project is progressing very well. What are your plans for commercialization?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze thoughtfully: "The issue of commercialization is indeed a bit of a headache, and I haven't made up my mind yet."

The ultimate form of humanoid robot products is, of course, like Vitas Industries in the Blue Star world, which launches android products similar to Robot Butler No. 18, whose main function is to act as a butler or assistant, helping users take care of people, act as a nanny, and assist users in their work, etc.

However, products in the early stages certainly can't be made this advanced all at once; it would be more reasonable to iterate through several generations of products to transition.

What's troubling Xiao Yu is that another major application scenario for humanoid robot products is industrial production, especially labor-intensive industries. However, he doesn't plan to apply them in this direction so quickly, and the government is also concerned about the negative impact, so the probability of opening them up in the short term is not high.

This is because it will cause widespread unemployment, even though it can greatly increase productivity and is an inevitable part of development. It is wrong to reject the progress of productivity, so the window of opportunity is very important. Timing is crucial.

The current timing is certainly inappropriate, causing widespread unemployment and failing to properly address the needs of these people, indicating that the time is not yet ripe.

After a while, Yun Shu looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Have you ever considered commercializing sex toys? Combining humanoid robots with sex dolls, and then giving them intelligence to become AI companions, such products would be unparalleled in competitiveness, and the market prospects would definitely be excellent."
