34: Chapter 34 The Strange System

Chapter 34: A Strange System

Install and test the system on-site, and install a device too?

The manufacturers and reporters present were a bit confused. What kind of strange operation was this? Could it be that these two test prototypes on stage had some design flaws?

"What device?" Chairman Chen asked with a cold face, but when he saw what Chen Xin took out, he felt a bit of regret, and the corner of his eye couldn't help but twitch.

"This is..."

"If I'm not mistaken..."

"This is... a camera?"

"Please be sure, brother, this is definitely a camera!"

Matsumoto Bieyun also widened his eyes, blinking in disbelief, and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Miss Chen, I am now very certain that you are really here to waste our time. Installing a camera on a Machining Center, is this your idea or your design team's idea?"

"If it's the latter, then I have to say, you really found an incredible team. This kind of idea really... opened our eyes, hahahaha."

"Today you install a camera on the Machining Center, what about tomorrow? Are you going to install a microphone? And the day after tomorrow, are you going to install a robotic arm?"

"Miss Chen, forgive my bluntness, but the level of the team you entrusted... is worrying."

"I am now very doubtful whether the system you mentioned can even run normally. If you can't even get past the installation stage, that would be truly disappointing."

Chen Xin remained expressionless, simply calling over a technician and handing him the two cameras.

"Install them in the platform cabin of the No. 1 test prototype, and install them diagonally." Chen Xin paused, thought for a moment, and added: "Connect them to the motherboard."

The technician nodded, took the cameras, ran to the No. 1 machine, opened the platform glass, and started working.

"The No. 1 test prototype!"

"This machine had an accident; the tool position must have developed an error. Without a precision Tool Presetter, it can't work normally."

"Why did Miss Chen choose this device as the carrier?"

"She's probably just giving up. It seems Miss Chen has no confidence in the system either."

"Never mind confidence, I doubt it can even be installed properly. After all, Miss Chen doesn't understand any technology, and the on-site technicians haven't received any training."

"This is a serious problem. I don't know where this Miss Chen gets her confidence."

...

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, the smile on Matsumoto Bieyun's face grew wider. He felt that today was going incredibly smoothly. As long as he crushed this so-called self-developed system of the Chen Group with overwhelming force, then...

Thinking of the comfortable life after completing the mission, Matsumoto Bieyun was very pleased.

"Mr. Bieyun." Tanaka said softly: "Why... do this?"

"Mr. Tanaka, you don't understand." Matsumoto Bieyun leaned back comfortably in his chair and said lazily: "They say if you don't kill the snake, it will bite you back. Although this Chen Group is weak now, it is still a behemoth with a market value of thirty to forty billion..."

Seeing that Tanaka seemed indifferent, Matsumoto Bieyun smiled: "Of course, compared to our W Company, the Chen Group is nothing. But as long as the Chen Group isn't driven to a dead end, there is still room for bargaining, and I hate bargaining with people the most."

"Only by pressing the Chen Group to the very bottom, leaving them with no hope of turning things around, can we be the ones to dictate the market. At that time, they will have to accept whatever price you want to quote, hehe."

"But..." Tanaka frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

"Does Mr. Tanaka think that W Company's system is inferior to the work of some unknown small company?"

"That... is not the case." Tanaka shook his head.

"Then there is no problem." Matsumoto Bieyun showed a wicked smile, "Mr. Tanaka, let's wait and watch the show."

On the podium, Chairman Chen finally sat down. Looking at his daughter standing next to the No. 1 test prototype, he showed a wry smile.

"Chairman Chen, could you reveal what the principle behind installing this camera is?"

Beside him, a young professor named Wang leaned over and asked quietly.

"This..." Chairman Chen was about to explain, but he saw that although the eyes of several professors around him were looking straight ahead, their ears were quietly leaning in his direction. He couldn't help but get a headache: "Everyone, this is all my daughter's own idea. I am completely unaware, and I actually wanted to ask you all, what is the situation with this camera?"

The professors shook their heads one after another. They could see it was her own idea, but they didn't understand Chen Xin's current operation.

Professor Zeng: "Chairman Chen, since you are unaware, don't put us on the spot. If you were asking about this in the field of intelligent computing, I might be able to explain it to you, but for a Machining Center... I am powerless."

The other professors nodded.

"Then let's just wait and see."

A perfectly good evaluation meeting and bidding conference turned out like this; Chairman Chen felt like his decades in the business world had been in vain. After this matter was over, he would definitely have to properly educate this lawless, precious daughter.

Thinking of this, Chairman Chen felt his head ache.

Twenty minutes later.

"Look... hurry, look, the camera is installed."

"It really is installed inside the platform cabin, but what does this mean? Diagonal installation?"

"I thought operating the machine required facial recognition to unlock, really..."

"Don't say that, your idea is actually much more reliable than this team of Miss Chen's, haha..."

"I only care about how Miss Chen installs the system; I don't care about anything else..."

"If Miss Chen's system can be installed within five hours, that would truly break the industry record..."

...

As the installation of the camera was completed, the noise in the venue gradually grew louder. Everyone was staring at Chen Xin's figure, very curious about her next move.

Under their gaze, Chen Xin took out her phone, unlocked it, scrolled, seemed to select a number, and dialed.

After a long time, the call was finally connected.

"Hello, hello, Miss Chen, what's up?" A male voice came through, seeming a bit inconvenient to talk, the voice was very fuzzy.

"How do I use it?" Chen Xin asked calmly.

"Hahaha, I thought you wouldn't come and ask me!" The male voice on the other side laughed quite exaggeratedly, and his voice grew louder. Now, those close to Chen Xin could hear it clearly: "Is the thing I gave you installed? If it's installed, take a nice photo of yourself first! Hmm... if it's inconvenient, a photo of your face is fine too."

Chen Xin listened quietly, and the people around held their breath and listened quietly.

"Then, find a hole you can plug it into, and just plug it in!"

Everyone was confused again. Who is this guy? What kind of nonsense is he talking about? Why is it that we, these technical experts, don't seem to understand?

"Got it." Chen Xin hung up the phone.

The air in the hall seemed to resume circulation instantly, and buzzing sounds arose everywhere.

"Miss Chen, may I ask you a question? The person you called is..." A reporter realized in time and shouted at Chen Xin with a microphone.

Other reporters also realized and hurriedly adjusted their recording equipment, crowding around Chen Xin.

"He is the technician." Chen Xin replied, thought for a moment, and added: "The technician who designed the system."

The reporters were obviously unsatisfied with this answer.

"Miss Chen, could you reveal the name of the technical development company you entrusted?"

"Miss Chen, could you explain in detail how you commissioned this project? Did your commission have the approval of your company?"

"Miss Chen..."

Matsumoto Bieyun was completely unaffected. As for who Chen Xin called and what was said, it was not in his consideration, because he had enough confidence to believe that W Company had no rivals in China today.

"But this chick, the way she looks when she's calm is really attractive." Matsumoto Bieyun watched Chen Xin, who was earnestly looking for the port: "This is good too; the colder she is, the more flavorful she is. I should change my taste."

"Mr. Tanaka, what do you think?"

"I think... a plug-and-play system does not exist." Tanaka finished a whole sentence fluently for once, then added: "Mr. Bieyun."

Matsumoto Bieyun's smiling face stiffened, then he pouted in boredom and continued watching Chen Xin's actions.

After quietly groping for a long time, Chen Xin finally found the designed USB port on the lower panel of the platform. She furrowed her pretty brows and inserted the USB drive in her hand.

"Is this okay?"

"Brother, you are a veteran in the industry, what do you say?"

President Cheng frowned: "According to my experience, there is no system that can be installed using this single method. There will always be all kinds of supporting software. Not to mention anything else, just the programming software alone, each manufacturer is different."

"Not to mention the specific verification after generating the tool position file after programming is finished. These all require skilled technical workers to implement. Some problems that cannot be solved require professional engineers to implement."

"Trying to solve all problems with just a USB drive, I don't know how to comment on that."

"Besides, even if the system can be installed, how do you operate it? Technicians who haven't received system training simply cannot ensure the smooth operation of the system. Miss Chen is still a bit wishful thinking."

"How can this be Miss Chen's fault? If anyone is to blame, it's that technician, right? What does 'just plug it in' mean? If just plugging it in works, what do we senior engineers need to do?"

Another person nearby said with some dissatisfaction.

"Alright, Old Ran, we're already here, let's see what the Chen Group is really up to. Maybe..."

The man was speaking, but suddenly stopped.

"Maybe what..." The person called Old Ran turned his head in confusion, only to see his friend's eyes wide open, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Old Xiao, you..."

"Don't talk, look."

...

Chen Xin didn't know about the crowd's discussion. In her eyes, from the moment the USB drive was inserted into the machine, everything seemed to change.

The Chen Group's engineering prototype, for better human-machine interaction, used the most advanced capacitive touch screen, paired with an engineering-grade core CPU, sufficient to run any program.

At this moment, a prompt box was quietly displayed on the screen.

"You are about to install the exclusive private custom Mark I System provided by Wang Shuo to Miss Chen. Please confirm that you have obtained permission from Miss Chen. If you are Miss Chen herself, please provide a nice photo of yourself. Tip: Requires on-site shooting."

Below were Confirm and Cancel, but there was no option to provide a nice photo. This USB drive, which wouldn't show up on a computer no matter what, actually had a reaction, giving Chen Xin a slight sense of comfort.

"This is..."

"What on earth is this?"

"Why do I feel... this doesn't look like a serious system?"

"Brother, tell me, what does it show?"

"There's no option to upload a photo, how do you select to upload a photo?"

"I feel like I'm registering for a dating app..."

"Dating apps are much better than this, okay? At least the interface looks good. This crude UI makes me feel terrible."

The few closest to it had already seen this text. It spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred. A moment later, everyone in the hall knew about the text on the screen.

Chen Xin's calm expression changed rapidly. At first, it was astonishment, then a hint of oddity, and finally, she even blushed slightly.

This Wang Shuo...

She hurriedly lifted the platform cover next to her, not caring about her image, and stuck her head in.

"Click, this is your nice photo. Attachment: One image."

The Chen Xin in the photo... well, let's just say it didn't look very good.

Chen Xin, who could stand up to Matsumoto Bieyun and withstand family pressure, felt her temper vanish. She clenched her small hands. If Wang Shuo were in front of her right now, he would definitely suffer 10,000 points of critical damage.

The screen changed again.

"Hahaha, this is a joke. It will pop up when you first start this system to confirm that it is you, Miss Chen. This is also for the sake of security, after all, an exclusively customized system is so excellent, it would be bad if it got lost. The automatic process starts now. It doesn't require your participation at all, Miss Chen. Just pull up a small stool and take a good rest. Smiley face.JPG."

Chen Xin could already hear herself gritting her teeth.

"What the hell is this..."

"I feel like I will never be able to look at operating system installation the same way again."

"Miss Chen, are you sure this is a system program and not a prank?" Matsumoto Bieyun's mocking voice rang out.

Chen Xin turned a deaf ear, just quietly watching the screen.

The following screen seemed much more normal.

"Hardware connection detected, detecting, detected as: Five-axis multi-function Machining Center. Data already exists. Your continued installation will overwrite the original data content. Please confirm."

Chen Xin clicked confirm.

"Detecting, detection complete. Hardware meets this system's standards, installation command can be executed, starting installation."

"Installation progress... 1%... 5%..."

"How is this possible?" President Cheng widened his eyes.

"What's wrong, brother." The man beside him looked confused, "Is the installation speed too fast?"

"Installation speed?" President Cheng just realized. Because he was too shocked, he hadn't even noticed the problem with the system's installation speed. He shook his head: "This is impossible... impossible."

"What exactly is wrong, brother, explain it to us." The man was scratching his head in anxiety.

"I can't say for sure right now, let's keep watching... keep watching..." As President Cheng said this, his hands clenched unconsciously.

"Installation progress 15%... 20%..."

Matsumoto Bieyun pouted: "Miss Chen, if this is just a boring trick, then it should be over. We are not in the mood to watch animations with you here."

No one echoed him. Everyone was seriously staring at the progress bar on the screen, counting the progress one by one.

Even Tanaka, who was beside him, sat up slightly, eyes fixed on the screen.

Chairman Chen looked strangely at the suddenly silent venue. He turned his head to consult the experts, but saw that the experts beside him were also looking very serious. He had no choice but to lower his voice as much as possible and ask the nearest professor.

"Professor Zeng, what is this?"

"Chairman Chen, allow me to explain later. Let's look at the situation first." Professor Zeng said in a serious tone, then left Chairman Chen aside.

Chairman Chen opened his mouth, but finally closed it, and stared at the movement in front of him along with the others.

"Installation progress: 45%... 50%..."

Chen Xin watched the numbers on the screen constantly changing one by one, feeling her heart slowly lifting.

"61%... 65%..." She silently recited in her heart.

"70%... 75%..." President Cheng was also reciting silently. To see more clearly, he had already come to the place closest to the No. 1 test prototype.

Beside him was the little brother he had just met after entering the venue, surnamed Yang, named Ming.

"85%... 90%..."

Everyone was reciting silently in their hearts, staring at the unserious program designed by this unserious programmer, to see what kind of tricks he could pull.

Only Li Siyu looked surprised at this moment. He watched the program that had already started running on the device and muttered: "This thing can actually run? It shouldn't..."

Under everyone's gaze, the program finally reached...

"Installation progress: 100%."
