Chapter 87: The Tech Carnival of the Live-Streaming Room

~7 min read 1,371 words

The "Knowledge-Action One" in the logistics park's "funny daily life" was filmed by some employee into a short video and posted online.

#Cutest Logistics Robot#, #Robot Chasing Skirt#, #AI Also Thinks About Dog Life# and similar topics actually heated up a bit.

Along with this, the official Weibo accounts of "Longyin Research Institute" and "Swift Wind Logistics" gained quite a few followers.

The person in charge of the marketing department at Swift Wind, with a keen sense of smell, immediately seized the opportunity, ran over to discuss with Feng Yan:

"Feng Zong, let's strike while the iron's hot—how about we do a live-stream sales event?"

"Let's sell our 'Knowledge-Action One'! Let Wang Gong be the host—he looks good and speaks interestingly!"

Wang Hao, who was buried in optimizing the "Peregrine Falcon" anti-interference algorithm, was hit by this sudden "host" task and felt a bit dazed:

"What? Have me go live to sell goods? I'm a missile expert! Not a sales host!"

Feng Yan suppressed a laugh, patted his shoulder:

"The more capable, the more work, Haizi. Look, you have this image, you have this eloquence—it'd be a shame not to develop in the live-streaming world."

"Besides, this is also for promoting our 'Knowledge-Action' brand, for implementing the technology, for generating revenue for our research institute!"

Finally, the two words "revenue generation" struck Wang Hao.

Although the research institute is backed by the state, the feeling of making money from technology they developed themselves is still different.

He scratched his messy hair, half-pushed, half-relented: "Alright, alright, for the funding!"

"But we agreed—I'll just go up and chat nonsense; I can't guarantee whether I'll sell anything!"

On the day of the live stream, Swift Wind Logistics specially set up a temporary live-streaming room in the smart park.

The background was the constantly coming and going, busy-working "Knowledge-Action One" robots.

Wang Hao changed into slightly cleaner work clothes, his hair still stubbornly sticking up, sitting in front of the camera.

Looking at the continuously pouring in viewers and bullet comments, his palms were a bit sweaty.

"Fellow old irons… uh, fellow netizens, hello everyone, I'm Wang Hao from Longyin Research Institute." He forced a somewhat stiff smile at the camera.

The bullet comments immediately exploded:

【Holy crap! It's really Wang Gong! I've seen your photos on the military forum!】

【A missile expert coming to sell robots? This crossover is a bit huge!】

【Wang Gong, what's up with your hair? Did you stay up all night coding again last night?】

【Quick, let the robot walk a couple steps to see!】

Wang Hao watched the bullet comments rolling by fast, gradually relaxed, and that familiar smug feeling rose again:

"Cough cough, yeah, that's me! The one who does missiles!"

"Today, entrusted by Swift Wind Logistics, I'm here to introduce everyone to our civilian logistics robot based on military technology conversion—'Knowledge-Action One'!"

He gestured to a standby "Knowledge-Action One" beside him:

"See? These smooth lines, this chassis as steady as an old dog! Do you know what technology it uses?"

"Its balance system and part of its navigation algorithm are the same source as the exoskeletons and certain platforms used by our troops!"

While speaking, he had the robot demonstrate load-bearing, walking, climbing slopes, and automatic obstacle avoidance.

Watching the robot's agile and precise movements, the bullet comments burst with 【Awesome】【Black Tech】 exclamations.

A netizen asked: 【Wang Gong, what's the connection between this robot and missiles?】

Wang Hao's eyes lit up—finally someone hit the point:

"Great question! The connection is huge!"

"One delivers packages, one delivers……uh, precise delivery!"

He almost said "baldy mouth", quickly stopped, causing the bullet comments to burst into 【hahaha】.

【What were you just about to say you'd deliver?】【I suspect you're driving but I have no evidence】.

【Wang Gong, can it help me take out takeout?】Another bullet comment asked.

"Taking out takeout? Piece of cake!" Wang Hao got energized.

On the spot, he had staff order a milk tea from within the park, set the destination.

Only see a "Knowledge-Action One" steadily carrying the milk tea, weaving through the crowd, precisely delivering it to Wang Hao's hand in the live-streaming room.

"See? Precise delivery! Hot!" Wang Hao took a sip of the milk tea, feeling delighted.

【Hahaha official live demo!】

【This navigation system is the same as the missile's—one delivers milk tea, one delivers……express!】

【This wave of ads I'm convinced!】

The live-stream atmosphere grew hotter, Wang Hao completely let loose, various jokes and punchlines flew out frequently.

"Why call it 'Knowledge-Action One'? Knowing is easy, doing is hard!"

"Our robot not only 'knows' the way, but can also 'act' to the point!"

"Don't look at it sometimes acting stupid and hitting glass doors—that's accumulating experience!"

"Just like our scientific research, failure is the mother of success!"

"Safety guarantee? This function is a must!"

"Its obstacle avoidance system can steadily brake even if a cat suddenly darts out—much better than some novice drivers!"

The vivid and interesting demonstration, plus Wang Hao this "non-professional" but highly personal style host.

The live-stream room's popularity kept rising, online viewers broke the million mark.

The 500 "Knowledge-Action One" pre-sale links prepared by Swift Wind Logistics, as soon as they were released, were almost instantly sold out.

The bullet comments were instantly flooded with 【Sold out?】【I still haven't grabbed one!】【Add stock! Add stock!】.

The marketing director of Swift Wind, watching this crazy sales data in the backstage, was about to laugh his mouth crooked.

Into the communicator he repeatedly said to Feng Yan: "Feng Zong! Feng Zong! It exploded! Completely exploded!"

Hurry up and speed up the production line! Give us as many as we need!

Wang Hao looked at the sold-out prompt, also a bit dumbfounded, and he hehed at the camera:

"It's all gone? You guys are quick! Those who missed out, don't worry, there will be more later!"

"Our robot's quality is absolutely top-notch!"

After the livestream ended, Wang Hao was still immersed in the excitement of being a 'net celebrity', his steps full of swagger.

He grabbed Li Yang and Chen Guang and bragged: "See? My sales ability!"

"Making several million in minutes! If the research institute runs short on funds later, I'll just go livestream!"

Li Yang wiped his tools with a blank expression: "Selling them is just the start."

"After mass production, consistent quality, after-sales service, and subsequent algorithm iterations are what matter."

Chen Guang then looked at the user feedback collected from the backend and the new problems exposed during the livestream (such as passage efficiency in extremely crowded crowds).

He had already begun silently establishing new optimization tasks.

Feng Yan looked at the excited Wang Hao and the still calm Li Yang and Chen Guang, smiling and shaking his head.

Just as he was about to say something, his encrypted communicator suddenly vibrated.

Seeing the number, it was Gao Hongbo, brigade commander of the Southwest Sharp Blade Special Operations Brigade.

He walked to the side and answered: "Brigade Commander Gao?"

Gao Hongbo's hearty voice came through, but his tone carried a hint of urgency.

"Section Leader Feng, I hope I'm not interrupting your celebrations? I saw the news—your robot is selling like hotcakes!"

"Brigade Commander, you're joking—it's just a small trial." Feng Yan replied politely.

"A trial is great! Civilian tech feeding back into military industry is also a path." Gao Hongbo shifted the conversation.

"However, Section Leader Feng, no matter how hot the civilian market gets, don't forget our real business."

"We've preliminarily drafted the joint test plan for the next phase, involving some…"

"The subjects are closer to actual combat, demanding high reliability and extreme performance from the equipment."

"How prepared are you over there?"

Feng Yan's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face faded somewhat.

He knew that Brigade Commander Gao's words sounded like casual chat, but were actually reminding him of the military's needs and priorities.

He glanced at Wang Hao still showing off there, and at the pile‑high order data for the 'Knowledge and Action No. 1'.

He took a deep breath and replied: "Brigade Commander Gao, rest assured—the main force of Dragon Chant stands ready at any time."

"On the civilian side, we'll arrange things well and definitely won't delay our real business."
