Tang Xi frowned. Although she was not familiar with Liu Chengyu, according to Xiao Hongyi and Xiao Yan, Liu Chengyu was an able man. Although the Liu’s Group’s performance was not very outstanding, Liu Chengyu had shown good leadership skills and led the Liu’s Group to complete several big cases since he took over the company two years ago,which was known to a lot of people in City A.

Xiao Hongyi had been fawning on the Liu Family. It seemed that he hadn’t known yet that the Liu’s Group was on the verge of collapse…

“Do you want to invest in the Liu’s Group?” Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang. She had never heard that Qiao Liang wanted to invest in the Liu’s Group. She remembered when she met Qiao Liang and Liu Chengyu in school last time, the two of them were not on good terms. Why did he suddenly want to invest the Liu’s Group?

Qiao Liang poured a glass of fresh juice that was just served by the waiter for Tang Xi. “I’m very interested in the intelligent robot that has been newly developed by them. If this project is successful, intelligent robots will be able to work in the place of human beings’ in the future. Their work efficiency is twenty times that of humans. I plan to introduce them to replace the workers in my plants.”

Lu Li raised his eyebrows. “GN simulated robots?”

Qiao Liang took a look at Lu Li and raised his eyebrows. “You know about it?”

Lu Li grunted, poured himself a glass of red wine and gently swirled it. “Yes, I’ve investigated this project when I was investigating the Liu’s Group. Once the GN simulated robot is successfully developed, it’s going to be a great helping hand to humans, although it also has disadvantages.”

Qiao Liang nodded and frowned. “I’ve considered it. After all, in our subconsciousness robots can’t replace humans, even though it actually has begun to gradually replace humans. Robots may become a disaster for us in the future, but this won’t stop me from investing in GN simulated robots, because after all, it’s still an era when humans control robots, not robots controlling humans.”

“Are you kidding me?” Lu Li cast a surprised glance at Qiao Liang. “If robots control humans, the world will end.”

Qiao Liang smiled and Tang Xi frowned, thinking “But I’m being controlled by a robot…”

008 seemed to detect Tang Xi’s thoughts and shouted in her mind [What are you thinking of?! Don’t equate me with those low-class robots, alright? I’m an advanced and mature education system!]

Tang Xi: “Yes, you’re a system, but you’re also controlled by machine, right? So you’re also a robot!”

008 got angry: [You know nothing! But I advise you to not let Qiao Liang cooperate with the Liu’s Group, because this project is not yet mature, and once this kind of robot is successfully produced, it may stir up international conflict. I don’t recommend Qiao Liang to take part in this matter.]

Tang Xi: “It’s just a robot. Can it cause international conflict?”

008: [If I tell you that the original design of this robot was stolen from a scientific research center of Country M by the design department of the Liu’s Group, will you still think that this robot can be put into production?]

Tang Xi widened her eyes and asked in shock,”What do you mean?”

Qiao Liang and Lu Li looked at Tang Xi in astonishment. Seeing Tang Xi so excited, Lu Li thought about what he just said, coughed awkwardly and explained dryly, “I’m kidding. Human beings are so powerful that they will surely regain their dominance before the end of the world.”

Tang Xi suddenly realized that she shouted out have thoughts just now. She smiled awkwardly and explained, “Well, I don’t mean that. I mean, I… seemed to read a news article from somewhere, that a scientific research center of Country M was developing this robot, and the main engineer is a senior engineer of that scientific research center. Where did the GN robot’s original design come from? Have you investigated it?”

Qiao Liang frowned and took a look at Lu Li. The latter stood up with a smile and said sorry to Tang Xi. “I’m going to make a phone call.”

Tang Xi smiled and nodded, and Qiao Liang also took out his cellphone to search for something online. Two seconds later, he put away the phone. Tang Xi looked at him and asked, “Can robots really replace human workers? Then what about the people who are replaced?”

Qiao Liang looked deeply at Tang Xi. He didn’t expect she was thinking about this problem. When the time came even if there weren’t robots, workers in plants would be replaced. People came, people went. This was the rule of the society. He chose to use robots, because robots were more stable than man and wouldn’t quit their jobs at least in their life cycle.

There was too much uncertainty about humans and they had many holidays all the year round. They would also have sick leave, emergency leave or leaves for other unexpected reasons from time to time. Once robots replaced humans, however, these uncertainties could be reduced. Robots would work ceaselessly even during holidays. They just needed to be recharged or checked. In most cases, they didn’t need any rest at all.

“Humans may be replaced, but there are always something that robots can’t do.” Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi. “Robots have not yet been able to finish a lot of detailed things.”

Tang Xi pursed her lips. “I think the reason that humans are human is that humans create but robots do not.”

“Yes,” Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi. “So humans are different from robots. You don’t have to worry too much. Besides, I haven’t decided whether to introduce this technology or not, and… what I want to replace is workers in arsenals. After all, there are too many secrets there. Once they are leaked for robots we can just destroy them and take their chips away, but if there are workers, we may not be able to move all the workers away in time, and there might be accidents on the way, or… some people might betray us. So my plan is to replace all the workers in Long Xiao’s arsenals with robots, except… technical and R&D personnel.”

Tang Xi smiled. “I see.”

Qiao Liang gazed at Tang Xi. “What are you thinking?”

Tang Xi shook her head with a smile. “Nothing. Your opinion is right. I didn’t think that deeply.”

“Are you wondering why we keep our factories secret?” Qiao Liang asked.

Tang Xi paused, then looked at Qiao Liang and nodded with a straight face. “Yes, since Long Xiao Group is a warrior on the international battlefield, why are you afraid to let people know what it is really up to?”

“Xixi, Long Xiao Group is just a skin of Long Xiao Organization. I think you know this.”
