Hearing this voice, everyone’s attention was immediately drawn to it.

They saw a tall and blonde middle-aged man in a military uniform striding toward them.

Seeing this figure, everyone present had shocked expressions in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Joseph and William quickly walked toward O’Neil and gave each other a symbolic pat on the chest.

“Joseph, I’m in your base now. You have to tell me what you’re studying!” O’Neil said with a smile.

“Of course. You can come and take a look.” Joseph led O’Neil to the robot.

O’Neil looked at the strange robot with a puzzled look.

“Joseph, isn’t this just an ordinary robot?”

“It does look like an ordinary robot, but there’s a huge secret hidden in it.”

“Secret? What secret can a robot have? Does this robot have its own thoughts?” O’Neil asked curiously.

“Huh? How do you know?” a middle-aged man with sparse hair asked in surprise.

“I actually guessed. In addition, I saw what happened at your Science & Technology Summit. It’s about artificial intelligence,” O’Neil explained.

“I didn’t expect you to guess it. We are indeed doing research on artificial intelligence. We just finished creating this prototype,” William said helplessly.

“The research on artificial intelligence is completed?” O’Neil was a little surprised.

“Yes, it has been completed.” Another researcher nodded.

“If I’m not wrong, you guys only started to confirm the project the day before yesterday, right?” O’Neil asked.

“Yes, it took three days,” William replied.

“Your artificial intelligence research isn’t just a con job, right?” O’Neil asked suspiciously.

“A con job?” Some researchers were a little dissatisfied. After all, everyone had spent two days in the laboratory in order to produce these results.

This was definitely not something that could be casually brushed off. How was this a con job?

“Although I don’t know much about research, I’ve never heard of anything that can be developed in just three days. I’m afraid it can’t even be a half-finished product,” O’Neil said with his reasoning.

Joseph looked at O’Neil’s serious expression and smiled. “Indeed, under normal circumstances, any research must be carried out carefully. Repeated trial and error is needed to find the best solution. It’s the same even for Hyman Technology. However, this particular research experiment is different.”

O’Neil looked at Joseph curiously and asked, “What’s the difference?”

“For this experimental research, the research team of Hyman Technology was only responsible for helping. The real leader and designer is this young man, Anderson,” Joseph said, pointing at Anderson.

“Anderson? The young man who interrupted the Science & Technology Summit?” O’Neil was surprised.

Although he watched the video and added Charles’ explanation, he didn’t know what to say.

O’Neil just thought that Joseph thought that the young man named Anderson performed well and had a good understanding of science and technology.

Therefore, O’Neil thought that Joseph just wanted to induct Anderson into his company.

But now by hearing Joseph’s words, that was not the case at all.

This young man could actually lead Joseph’s research team?

How did he do it?

Joseph could see O’Neil’s disbelief but he did not want to explain more.

Compared to the oral explanation, using actions to explain everything was the best way.

Joseph looked at Anderson and said, “Anderson, you can start the demonstration now.”

Anderson noticed Joseph’s gaze and understood that President Joseph wanted him to get to know O’Neil.

Anderson nodded and said respectfully to O’Neil, “This is the new generation of artificial intelligence that we have created. Now, just take the appearance of this robot as an example. In essence, this artificial intelligence is relying on a small chip. Currently, it’s been loaded into this robot. Although it looks a little crude, its current degree of intelligence is comparable to a super brain.”

“Comparable to a super brain?” O’Neil was puzzled.

“It’s not just a super brain. The artificial intelligence I designed can not only execute some complicated commands but also solve problems related to human emotions.”

“A cold machine can solve emotional problems?” O’Neil obviously did not believe it.

“Maybe we can have a competition,” Anderson suggested.

“A competition?” O’Neil asked.

“Yes, we can let your special forces soldiers compete with the simple robot we just built,” Anderson said confidently.

“Interesting. Do you mean that a simple robot you casually built can be as good as my elite soldiers?” O’Neil sounded a little dissatisfied.

“I didn’t say that. Didn’t the general want to see the standard of this robot? This is the best way. You should be very familiar with the abilities of the elites under you. You can use your soldiers as a reference,” Anderson explained.

“Okay, I agree,” O’Neil replied.

Soon, the group arrived at a shooting range.

The guard next to O’Neil picked out a pistol and Robot No. 1 also picked out a pistol.

Just as the game was about to start, O’Neil suddenly made a suggestion.

“I think it’s better to play a small game first than simply shooting at the target.”

Anderson looked at O’Neil and asked, “What small game?”

“Let’s have a gun assembling game,” said O’Neil.

“No problem.”

“Okay, let’s start now,” said O’Neil quickly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard beside him quickly disassembled the gun in his hand.

This was a trap that O’Neil had deliberately set up.

Generally, as long as a robot had a basic set program and followed its predetermined rules, there would be no mistakes.

However, AI robots usually did not fare well with chaotic events.

Once an accident occurred, if the relevant program had not been set up before, the robot would not be able to act accordingly and had the potential of crashing. 

However, something unexpected suddenly happened. 

When his men began to move, the opposite robot looked at his men, its eyes glowing red as it began to disassemble the gun at the same time.

If this was just a simple imitation, it wouldn’t be so surprising for a general like him.

This was because Robot No. 1 and the soldier’s guns were two different models.

However, Robot No. 1 only looked at the soldier for two seconds.

After the two-second pause, Robot No. 1’s movements were fast and accurate, faster than the speed at which the soldier finished assembling the guns. It was as if it was a veteran who was proficient in firearms..
