741 Design Plan Of The Smart Bickering Machine

Yu Pingan had already experienced the power of AEEIS, to delve into poems now?

He would probably be beaten up from all angles.

Of course, just as Chang You had said, AEEIS' intelligence level was not high at the moment. It was not much different from other 'artificial retards' in the lower-tier technological framework. However, the genius product manager of Otto Technologies had made AEEIS' personality to the extreme based on Boss Pei's ideas. That was why it gave people the illusion that AEEIS had become intelligent.

However, if the Useful App was successful, AEEIS would be able to monopolize the essence of the knowledge. At the beginning, it would only be able to recite poems, but it would definitely surpass the other artificial intelligence in all fields previously.

What's more, the current AEEIS had completely exceeded Yu Pingan's expectations.

"This 'contrarian mode' is created for the Fully-Automated Intelligent Bickering Machine, right? How's the new version of the Bickering Machine going?" Yu Pingan asked.

Chang You took out his cell phone, found the design plan, and handed it to Yu Pingan. "The design has been done, and the factory has been set up. The samples will be ready by the end of this month. If there are no problems, we can produce them in a month and then sell them."

"We might not be holding a news conference then. We'll directly publish a promotional video and introduce the characteristics of the new OTTO OS and the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine."

Yu Pingan took the cell phone and checked the rendering of the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine.

This Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine looked different from the original version from the surface.

First was the size, it was obviously much bigger.

The Fully-Automated Bickering Machine was rather large, but there was not much space to utilize inside. There were some more detailed mechanical structures, but there was still some space.

When designing the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine, these empty spaces were used as much as possible to stuff other things in.

Of course, the main part of the smart speaker system, which was the woofer, could not be stuffed into it. It could only be placed under the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine.

That meant that the entire bickering machine was much taller.

Yu Pingan noticed that this sound system was very different from the current mainstream smart speakers. It was actually designed with an echo wall system.

There were four parts in total: a bar-shaped stereo system, a woofer, and two removable surround sound systems. There were thirteen speakers of various sizes.

Among them, the woofer was located in the lower half of the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine. It was a short and fat structure. This part could be placed within a ten-meter radius at will without affecting the low sound effect.

The stereo system was separate, connected to the television by cable;

The two removable surround sound systems were more interesting. There was a lid on each side of the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine. At first glance, one would not be able to see anything. However, after opening the lid, one would discover that there were metal charging points in the grooves. After placing the two small sound systems into the grooves and covering them, they would charge automatically.

According to the design, these two small speakers were meant to create a surround sound effect. They could be played continuously for 10 hours after fully charged.

There were lights on both of the small speakers to indicate the amount of power left. It could be put back into the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine to be charged, and it could also be connected to the power lines to be charged.

In addition, the main body of the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine had a ring-shaped breathing light that would flicker when the AEEIS spoke.

The "Echo Wall" type of sound products had appeared seven or eight years ago. In recent years, with the entry of domestic manufacturers, the price of the Echo Wall had dropped significantly.

The Fully-Automated Intelligent Bickering Machine was obviously made by domestic original equipment manufacturers. However, it had cleverly combined the Bickering Machine and the Echo Wall, and had meticulously designed the use case.

There was a woofer on the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine. Obviously, it had to be placed at the side of the television cabinet or beside the coffee table. It could be moved freely within a certain range without affecting the sound effect.

The sound bar was placed under the television, just like the other echo walls.

The most unique thing should be the design of the two small speakers. They were mainly to provide better surround sound effects.

There were some problems with both the wired or wireless solutions in the market for such surround-sound speakers.

The advantage of having them wired was that they did not have to worry about charging it. However, it was inconvenient to move. What's more, the requirement for it being plugged onto the wall socket meant that it would look messy.

The advantage of being wireless was that it could be moved at will and could be adjusted at any time. However, charging it would be more troublesome.

On the other hand, the Fully-Automated Intelligent Bickering Machine had two solutions. It could remove the power lines, but it could also be stuffed into the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine and be charged with metal touch points.

That way, users would be able to judge its remaining battery volume based on the light strips on the small stereo system. They would be able to stuff it into the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine to charge it when they weren't using it.

It was not a perfect solution, but it gave users more options than most of the echo wall products on the market that only provided one solution.

Yu Pingan found it very novel. "It's an echo wall? I thought it was just a separate sound system like the other smart speakers."

Chang You replied, "Yes, that was what I thought originally as well."

"If this sound system cost three to four hundred yuan, there would be no other choice but for us to create a separate sound system."

"However, Boss Pei set the price at 2,588 yuan."

"Apart from the original value of the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine, this stereo system is worth at least two thousand yuan."

"Thus, our product managers discussed for a while. Since we're already at the price of two thousand yuan, why don't we improve it to the echo wall?"

Yu Pingan nodded. "Yes, that made a lot of sense. After it was made into an echo wall, it is now more valuable and unique."

"If it was just a rubbish sound system, it would not be worthy of the artistic status of the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine. No one would buy it."

"Let me know when the samples are ready. I want to buy one for fun too."

Chang You smiled. "No problem. I'll give you a sample as soon as I have it!"

November 16th, Wednesday…

For the past few days, Pei Qian had nothing much to do other than playing games at home, he only went to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to relax and was living very comfortably.

Tengda's recruitment event ended last week. New employees were starting to join the company. The first Tengda Spirit compatibility test would be held on Friday.

The Tengda Spirit compatibility test had been adjusted from the backend again. Apart from the usual updating of questions, there was also an additional subjective answer section for each question.

The number of questions had decreased, but after choosing an option, the candidate had to briefly enter the reason for choosing the options in the input box below.

He would have to wait until Friday to see if this method would work and whether he could find a deeper reason for the high passing rate of the Tengda Spirit compatibility test.

Pei Qian sipped his coffee as he read the work report submitted by the E-Sports Department.

The GPL league was still in preparation. All the new clubs had already set up training bases in Jingzhou and were beginning to dig around for outstanding players.

At the moment, veteran clubs like H4 Clubs were without a doubt, stronger since they had started early. However, as GOG continued to become popular in the country, a large number of powerful players began to appear incessantly.

The top scorers on Gods Rising were basically contacted by various club managers every day. Many young internet addicts did not plan to play professionals at first, but they finally decided to come to the various clubs in Jingzhou for training.

If these clubs were scattered in different cities, it would be quite troublesome to train them. These internet addicts would have to travel all over the country to find a satisfactory club.

However, things were different now. All the clubs were in Jingzhou, and the GPL competition venue was in Jingzhou as well. As long as they were capable enough, they would be able to find a satisfactory club after staying in Jingzhou for a few days and trying them out one by one.

What's more, the E-Sports environment in Jingzhou was the best. The first choice was to join the DGE Club. If one could not join the DGE Club, he could consider other clubs. If he could not join the main force, he could play as a substitute. If he could not play as a substitute, he could be trained. In the worst case scenario, he could even join the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's internet cafe competition.

As a large number of clubs and top players gathered, the various Fish-Catching Internet Cafes in Jingzhou suddenly became filled with hidden talents, especially in the first Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0. No one knew just how many top players were hidden in this small internet cafe.

On Zhang Yuan's end, Tengda's E-Sports Department had been established.

The members of this department were more complicated. Some were old employees transferred from Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games, some were employees who had been recruited from society, and some were fresh graduates.

At the moment, the eSports Division was also considering when to commence the GPL apart from helping various clubs to recruit and train.

According to normal circumstances, spring competition should be from January to April, summer competition should be from June to September. An international competition could be arranged after the spring and summer competitions.

If it was the grand finals, it should be held in October. Apart from arranging for some sporadic entertainment competitions, the rest and transfer season would be the most important.

It was currently November and should be within the transfer period. The GPL league's spring competition would only start in January.

However, the eSports Division and various clubs felt that two months was too long. The audience might not be able to wait.

GPL was a league with many teams and a high density of competitions. It would not be conducive for players to maintain their competitive standards or maintain the popularity of the league if there was a long period of blank in between.

What's more, the clubs that had just been established were in urgent need of a more formal competition. They wanted to give their players more practice so that their teams could work together faster.

The various clubs might already be organizing a training competition but there was still a huge gap between the training competition and the official competition. It was completely different.

Thus, the eSports Club decided to play a GPL pre-season game in December. Each club could choose whether to participate or not based on the situation.

If some teams had yet to be finalized, they could choose not to participate. As for those teams that had been finalized, they could choose either the main force or the reserve force to play. They would mainly use this competition to train their players while also warming up for the upcoming GPL Spring Competition.

The standard of competition might not be very high, but it would at least be able to entertain the audience.

Pei Qian had no objections to the arrangements of these competitions.

After all, the popularity of the GPL had already risen. The popularity would not be affected by one more or one less competition.

It was good entertainment for Pei Qian with more competitions since he was a loyal fan himself.
