Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 254 The Time-Traveling Toy That Could Silence the Goddess of Slaughter, the Great Beauty
May 8th is World Smile Day.

Liu Xiaoli arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the Time Media Building early in the morning and sat in the rest area drinking coffee.

A dozen minutes later, Liu Yifei, with a bare face, wearing sportswear and a simple ponytail, came downstairs and headed towards Lao Liu.

"Mom, why did you come to see me so early in the morning? What's the matter that's so urgent?"

Liu Xiaoli's face darkened. "Can't I contact you for no reason? I used to see you every day, but now?"

Since Liu Yifei joined Time.

This daughter, who is cared for throughout the entire process, is often only seen once every one or two months.

Does this really mean the fledgling has flown into the sky?

Liu Yifei's eyes widened, and after a few seconds of blankness, she laughed, "I'm preparing for (the Twelve Zodiacs) battle, the second female lead!"

She even excitedly and happily gestured a two.

After all, the female lead is Jiang Shuying, and her one "Goblin" series is comparable to the accumulated achievements of her entire series of TV dramas.

Moreover, Jiang Shuying's acting skills are far superior to hers.

Even young actors like Hu Ge, Wang Kai, and Jin Dong are now terrified when they hear the name "Sister Jiang."

Xue Xiaolu won the Best Director award at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards for her work on "The Hearing Girl".

The real trophy is in hand.

Director Xue's anticipated new film (Ocean Heaven).

The father-son version has no shortage of middle-aged and elderly actors with good acting skills, but the young actors' acting skills can't keep up.
The mother-daughter version is better!

It's really hard to keep up.

They don't care if they are outshone by Zhang Bozhi or Zhou Xun.

Jin Dong, the oldest actor, hadn't even entered the Central Academy of Drama yet, while A-Zhi had already become famous nationwide thanks to "King of Comedy".

It hurts so much to be abused by Jiang Shuying!

Despite this, Jiang Shuying still has blockbuster movies like "The Dragon" and "If You Are the One".

He made a cameo appearance in an international blockbuster (Ted).

Her acting skills and resume far surpass Liu Yifei's.

Liu Xiaoli, “…”

She watched her daughter giggle for a while, and just as she was about to say something, she saw the lobby door on the first floor open, amidst the exclamations of some people.

One after another, strangely shaped robotic dogs, some of which carried a bucket of drinking water on their backs.

Some carried a large suitcase on their backs, along with various other items.

Others were shaking their heads to show off their cameras.

Eight robotic dogs, each with its own four metal legs, entered the hall, accompanied by security guards, casually dressed entertainers, or assistants.

The four robot dogs patrol, spreading out to the left and right to control the cameras, looking around and recording something.

The other four were carrying things east and west towards the elevator.

Liu Xiaoli, “???”

Sister Liu got up and looked at it several times, then rubbed her eyes before exclaiming in surprise, "What kind of monster is that, Qianqian? A mechanical toy?"

"This is more than just a toy; even though a bottle of water isn't heavy..."

"But its back is so stable while walking?? This can replace manual water changes."

Liu Yifei also stood up in surprise, "I didn't know."

She'd never seen this thing before.

The mother and daughter then watched as the four patrol robot dogs walked, stopped, and turned corners.

The other four went straight to the elevator, entered after a security guard pressed the elevator button, and disappeared.

Other onlookers continued to watch the spectacle alongside the patrol dogs.

Liu Yifei hurriedly walked to Wan Qian's side and asked curiously, "Sister Qian, what kind of machine is this? Is it a robotic pet or something else?"

Wan Qian seemed to have just discovered Liu Yifei, and indeed she had just discovered her.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a lively scene.

Twenty years from now, you might find yourself encountering a food delivery robot when you order takeout at a random hotel.

Then there's the robot dancing on the Spring Festival Gala.

They are all ordinary daily routines involving mechanical ascension.

But this was only in 2006!
In July 2005, Lao Li of Time created the first batch of finished drones, which flew around the Time Building under the wireless control of time delays.

Since then, major upgrades have been largely unnecessary.

In addition to optimizing various operating systems and software, there are also updates and replacements in chip nanotechnology.

To optimize for better hardware.

Many drone projects have been put on hold.

These 9 months.

Outside of his regular work, Lao Li uses all his boundless energy and stamina to learn new things.

Mechanical design, automation technology, and manufacturing processes.

Then there's electronic design automation and control system design.

New disciplines are emerging.

Furthermore, mathematics, chemistry, materials science, and so on are already quite extensive.

The finished product was completed in just 9 months, still under the control of inefficient radio transmission technology.

From heavy-duty robotic dogs capable of transporting some items to camera-operated patrol robots.

For the time being, the Time Tower does not need to use robot dogs to patrol in place of human patrols.

However, in the past year or two, the robotic dog patrol team has been patrolling around two 50-acre villas on the North Third Ring Road, with wireless data transmitted to the central control center inside the villas.

It is still possible.

The uses of this thing are not that great in the short term, and there aren't that many fields where it can be entered or expanded.

But it also covers load-bearing capacity, firefighting, and earthquake rescue, among other things.

Mechanization, wireless transmission and control systems, and other large-scale systems can play a significant role.

After greeting him, Wan Qian said blankly, "I don't know either. I vaguely heard that the boss is outside the legitimate Time Group."

"They also started a time-travel toy factory."

"This is the first time I've seen a toy produced by our group in real life. By the way, this thing is made of machine. If you want to keep a pet..."

"Isn't it easier and more fun to raise a robot dog than a real dog? You don't have to worry about it pooping everywhere."

"I don't have to worry about it suddenly going berserk and biting passersby while I'm out shopping."

"We don't need to feed them, and they can even help us carry our luggage when we go on a trip."

Wan Qian found this electronic pet to be much more fun than the pets in video games.

Liu Yifei, “…”

Even Liu Xiaoli, who had secretly followed them, exclaimed in surprise, "President Li has started a toy factory?"

This new business unit of Time Group seems rather strange.

You're saying this is a toy? Then it really is a toy.

It's about the same size as a real-life, biologically-based medium-sized dog, easily carrying a large box or a bucket of water.

Are there even camera-equipped patrol machines?
These are all steel alloy mechanical toys.

Liu Yifei suddenly grinned, "If it can carry heavy loads, then any gun I use will be a machine killer, like in the (John Wick) series."

"This kind of toy can even silence Sister Yuanyuan."

"Even with her unparalleled grass-cutting skills, she wouldn't easily destroy a mechanical toy."

Liu Xiaoli was shocked and remained silent.

Wan Qian is similar.

A few dozen seconds later, Liu Yifei asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Did she say something wrong?

Liu Xiaoli scolded her with a dark face, "What are you thinking about all day, little girl? Come on, I have something to tell you, but I haven't even started talking about it yet."

Old Liu quickly took Liu Yifei to her office on the 9th floor.

Only the mother and daughter remained in the room. Liu Xiaoli said furtively, "Qianqian, I'm getting old. I'm 47 years old this year."

“I am 5 years older than He Qing, but in reality, the two of us standing together.”

"It's normal for people outside to say that I'm her aunt."

"Do you think it's possible for you to contribute more to the cause of time?"

"Would you also give me the opportunity to enjoy Mr. Li's cosmetic surgery package?"

Of course, she couldn't possibly expect or fantasize about Old Li giving He Qing massages and acupuncture every day, or using the most expensive and suitable medical packages to maintain Liu Xiaoli.

I can't afford to raise them.

But she has the opportunity to take Chinese medicine and practice Tai Chi and Wu Qin Xi, which are most suitable for her.

This kind of health and wellness is worth the expense. Liu Xiaoli is 47 years old, and she understands better than anyone how different a person is at this age compared to when they were 30 or 20.

He Qing's beauty has returned, not just in terms of her looks.

The functions of the internal organs, bones, blood, and other systems have all returned.

The other person had also been practicing for almost a year, and the Tai Chi and Five Animal Frolics were most suitable for her physical condition.

He Qing's physical condition is better than that of many 30-year-olds.

Liu Yifei was dumbfounded, "Huh??"

She was just a fleeting flower in time, not even one of the Eight Beauties of Jinling.

Stunned, she hurriedly made her mother a cup of tea. "Don't worry, this can't be rushed. There are many, many people who can get verified."

"Before his first relationship, Brother Li had a crush on Vivian Chow for several years."

"But from a purely commercial perspective, I haven't seen him allocate these resources to Vivian Chow."

"Since joining Time, I've only played minor roles and haven't made much money. I'm really embarrassed to ask for help."

"Unless I become famous in the future and earn hundreds of millions for the company through film and television fees, commercial performances, and advertising endorsements, then it will be convenient for me to ask questions, right?"

She is speaking the truth.

Liu Xiaoli had no rebuttal.

After taking a sip of tea, Liu Xiaoli remarked, "President Li's net worth is already six or seven hundred billion RMB. The total value of the group he can influence and control has long exceeded 2000 billion RMB?"

"If his medical skills were to be widely disseminated, they would probably be worth a super-large market value."

"The only minor flaw is that he's a bit of a womanizer; he's not a saint."

Liu Yifei looked on with a face full of question marks and exclamation marks.

I hope her mother wouldn't sell her off to try and relive her youth.

To be honest, she is still innocent, even though she pursued her mother's godfather.

From the time she was groomed for her debut?

Her godfather was also a close friend of her biological father, and her biological father was no ordinary person either.

To put it bluntly, her godfather is willing to invest so many resources in her because he wants to make her famous and turn her into a money-making machine like Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and then actresses like Jiang Shuying and Yang Mi.

The brokerage contract has always been clearly stated that the other party takes more than 70% of the profits.

In a state of surprise and uncertainty, she quickly shook her head to stop overthinking.

From beginning to end, from the first time I met and got to know my senior, Lao Li, until now.

Let's set aside the polite small talk and get down to normal business.

Li Wenyu and she exchanged no more than ten sentences in their other interactions.

The key is to correctly understand the roles of a super godfather in the Chinese entertainment industry and a subordinate of an ordinary actress.

…………

15th floor of the Media Building.

Old Li still sits in the 200-square-meter monitoring center, using his laptop to control a series of robot dogs.

I saw a robotic dog carrying a bucket of purified water enter the monitoring center.

He then got up and went over to change the water in the bottled drinking water.

Dong Xuan and Xiao Tong, who had been watching the commotion, finally came over and exclaimed in surprise, "You've put so much effort into this!"

"Teach yourself the technology, do research and development, and then invest money."

"This goes from having someone place bottled water outside the building on the first floor to you abandoning computer control and changing the water yourself."

Is this a giant leap or a small step?

Let's set aside the water delivery service.

There were three other weighted robotic dogs, and three more were swaying in the stairwell.

Climbing stairs is also a form of experimentation and training.

Even so, the Time Tower underwent various enhancements and upgrades, and a complete system of radio transmission and reception equipment was built.

Tong Liya was also a little curious, "It seems like a very ordinary little thing, but it doesn't seem to be that simple."

Old Li jokingly remarked, "You might as well say it's a small step forward, but a giant leap for civilization."

Xiao Tong, "..."

Dong Xuan gave him a charmingly disdainful look. "You beast who pees five feet into the wind, is it really necessary for you to take this tiny step?"

Old Li often imparted his vast knowledge and brilliance to her.

It's much more exciting than a water gun.

Don't assume that just because she's a pretty girl, she's never heard of a certain slogan appearing in a certain place.

It's common to see female tourists occupying men's restrooms at popular tourist attractions and during peak holidays.

Old Li was bewildered by Xuanxuan's retort.

A dozen seconds later, Lao Li returned to the control platform to operate the robotic dogs that were climbing the stairs.

This thing still needs to be upgraded step by step.

In line with the development of the 3G era.

However, he is also considering whether to take the initiative to discuss with the major operators in advance to promote the arrival of the 3G era earlier.

In the Omi, Island Korea, and Hong Kong Haowan local teams.

3G wireless signals have been widely promoted for some time now.

Beijing doesn't necessarily have to wait until the 08 Olympics to start a new era as a pilot city.

It’s already September 5th.

The most sensational news in the Chinese entertainment industry right now is that (Crazy Racer) achieved an average daily box office of over 2800 million during the seven-day May Day holiday.

It brought in 1.98 million RMB in mainland China.

Nearly 2 million in a single week.

That's equivalent to 2500 million US dollars.

The other films released during the May Day holiday barely scraped together a little over 1000 million yuan in box office revenue.

This is still data that countless people in the industry should celebrate.

Ning Hao's status in the directing circle is also approaching that of Zhang Yimou, and he has surpassed Kai Zi, Wang Jiawei and others.

Even Huang Bo, that ugly-handsome guy, has become a sensation.

Huang Bo is undoubtedly the male lead in the racing series.

Old Li was still playing with his toy when the phone rang; his cell phone was still lying some distance away.

Tong Liya ran over to take a look and laughed, "It's a call from Lei Jun of Qianlibu."

Old Li nodded, and as he took the phone, Old Lei's panicked voice came through: "Mr. Li, the official unit has placed an order for 3000 units."

"1500 drones, 1500 robot dogs."

"Why do I have a feeling that Qianli Group is going a bit astray?"

Old Li exclaimed with delight, "Then let's start production! Once the products are sold, we can try to promote a more advanced and high-end wireless signal transmission system. That will give us a much better chance of success."

Based on the current production level of drones and robot dogs.

The materials and chemical engineering fields were developed by Lao Li himself using extraordinary skills.

He was also in charge of chip development and programming, and then placed orders with Samsung.

The control system and other systems were also created using cheat codes.

The production cost of a single robot dog is in the five-figure range of RMB.

But it is not important.

For Lao Li, money is just a number now.

This is even more of a figure for the official sources.

Liu Yifei may have fantasized about things like robot dogs carrying loads or cameras because she was deeply immersed in movies such as "Ordinary People," "Chinese Zodiac," and "John Wick."

Switching weapons made it difficult for Yuan Yuan, the killing goddess in the game, to keep up.

Whether it's the official platform that placed the order or CEO Lei.

Of course, such associations are not uncommon.

Old Lei was speechless. "President Li, I am an innocent Wu Dalang. I feel that you are somewhere between Little Ma, Hongyi, Jack Ma, and Robin Li."

"It seems like they've switched to a different track again."

Besides chip manufacturing, we cannot be self-reliant due to a series of problems with lithography machines.

Hello, media mogul and internet tycoon.

Suddenly switching tracks? This is like a completely different channel.

From now on, we won't be sitting in the same row at meetings anymore.

We can't even sit at the same table at dinner parties anymore.
