Yu PingAn had already experienced the power of Aeeis, so why try matching poems again?

He'd probably be utterly crushed from every conceivable angle.

Of course, as Chang You said, Aeeis' intelligence level wasn't that high yet. Its underlying technical architecture wasn't much different from other "artificial idiots." It was just that Ouhou Technologies' genius product manager had maximized Aeeis' personalization based on Boss Pei's idea, giving people the illusion that "Aeeis has become a spirit."

However, if Useful App succeeded, Aeeis would essentially have exclusive access to all its refined knowledge content. It could only match poems at first, but it would definitely surpass other artificial intelligences in every field.

Moreover, the current Aeeis had already exceeded Yu PingAn's expectations.

"This 'Argumentative Mode' is for the fully automatic smart arguing machine, right? So, how's the new arguing machine coming along?" Yu PingAn asked.

Chang You took out his phone, found the design drawings, and handed them to Yu PingAn. "The design is done, and the OEM factory has been finalized. We can make a sample by the end of this month. If there are no problems, we can start mass production and stocking in another month, and then it can be released."

"We probably won't hold a press conference this time. We'll just release a promotional video to introduce the features of the new version of Ottoos and the fully automatic smart arguing machine in detail."

Yu PingAn took the phone and looked at the rendering of the fully automatic smart arguing machine.

Judging from the appearance, there were some obvious changes compared to the original version of the fully automatic arguing machine.

First of all, the size was significantly increased.

Although the original fully automatic arguing machine was relatively large, the space inside was not fully utilized. Although there were some relatively refined mechanical structures, there was still some space.

When designing the fully automatic smart arguing machine, these empty spaces were also used as much as possible to stuff in some other things.

Of course, the main body of the smart speaker, the bass unit, definitely couldn't be stuffed in, so it had to be placed at the bottom of the fully automatic smart arguing machine.

This made the entire arguing machine much taller.

Yu PingAn noticed that this speaker was very different from the current mainstream smart speakers. It actually used a soundbar's split design.

Soundbar, subwoofer, two detachable surround speakers, a total of four parts, with 13 speakers of various sizes.

Among them, the subwoofer unit was in the lower half of the fully automatic arguing machine, a short and fat structure. This part could be placed freely within a range of about 10 meters without affecting the bass effect.

The soundbar was separate, connected to the TV through cables.

The two detachable surround speakers were more interesting. There was an opening with a cover on each side of the fully automatic smart arguing machine. At first glance, you couldn't see anything, but after opening the cover, you would find metal charging contacts in the recess. Putting the two small speakers into the recess and closing the cover would automatically charge them.

According to the instructions on the design drawing, these two small speakers were for creating surround sound effects. They could play continuously for 10 hours when fully charged.

There were light strips on the two small speakers to indicate the power level. They could either be put back into the fully automatic smart arguing machine to charge or connected to a power cord to charge.

In addition, the main body of the fully automatic arguing machine had an additional ring-shaped breathing light, which would flash when Aeeis spoke.

Soundbar products actually appeared as early as seven or eight years ago, and in recent years, with the entry of some domestic manufacturers, the price of soundbars has also decreased significantly.

The fully automatic smart arguing machine was obviously also being manufactured by a domestic factory, but it cleverly combined the arguing machine and the soundbar and carefully designed the usage scenarios.

The fully automatic smart arguing machine has a bass unit on it, so it obviously needs to be placed on the side of the TV cabinet or next to the coffee table. It can be moved freely within a certain range without affecting the sound effect.

The soundbar is placed under the TV, the same as other soundbars.

And the most special thing should be the design of these two small speakers, their effect is mainly to provide better surround sound effects.

For these two surround small speakers, the current wired or wireless solutions on the market actually have certain problems.

The advantage of wired is that you don't have to worry about charging, but it is inconvenient to move, and there is a long power cord dragging, it is not convenient to find a plug, and it looks more cluttered.

The advantage of wireless is that you can move it around at will, and you can adjust the position at any time, but charging is more troublesome.

The fully automatic smart arguing machine provides two solutions, both a removable power cord and the ability to be plugged into the fully automatic arguing machine and charged with metal contacts.

In this way, users can judge the remaining power of the small speaker according to the bar-shaped light on it, and put it into the fully automatic smart arguing machine to charge it when it is not in use.

It cannot be said to be a completely perfect solution, but compared with most soundbar products on the market that only provide a single solution, it gives users more choices.

Yu PingAn felt very novel: "It's actually a soundbar? I thought it was just a separate speaker like other smart speakers."

Chang You said: "Yeah, I actually thought so too at first."

"If the cost of this speaker is three or four hundred yuan, then there is no choice, just make a separate speaker."

"But Boss Pei's price is 2588."

"In addition to the original value of the fully automatic arguing machine, this speaker is at least equivalent to a speaker product of about 2,000 yuan."

"So a few of our product managers discussed it, since it has already reached this price point of 2,000 yuan, why not use a soundbar?"

Yu PingAn nodded: "Yeah, that makes sense. After making it into a soundbar, the level of prestige has indeed been greatly improved, and it has also made its own characteristics."

"If it's just a trash speaker, then it's really not worthy of the artistic status of the fully automatic arguing machine, and no one will buy it."

"Remember to notify me when the sample is made. I also want to buy one and play with it."

Chang You smiled: "No problem, you can try it out as soon as the sample is available!"

November 16, Wednesday.

Pei Qian had nothing to do these days. Besides playing games at home, he would go to Lazy Cafés to sit and enjoy himself.

Tengda's recruitment event had ended last week, and the new employees had joined the company one after another. The first Tengda Spirit Compatibility Test was scheduled for this Friday.

The backend of the Tengda Spirit Compatibility Test had been adjusted again. In addition to the routine updates to the questions, a subjective question-and-answer section had been added to each question.

The number of questions had been reduced, but after selecting an option, it was necessary to briefly enter the reason for selecting that option in the input box below.

As for whether this method would work and whether the deep-seated reason for such a high pass rate of the Tengda Spirit Compatibility Test could be found, it would have to wait until this Friday to find out.

Pei Qian drank coffee while reading the work report submitted by the esports department.

The GPL league was still in preparation, and the newly promoted clubs had basically arranged training bases in Jingzhou and started to scout for outstanding players.

At present, old clubs like H4 Club are undoubtedly stronger because they started earlier. However, as the popularity of the game *gog* continued to explode in the country, a large number of powerful players continued to emerge.

High-scoring passersby on the ladder were basically contacted by various club managers every day. Many internet-addicted teenagers originally did not plan to play professionally, but in the end, they made up their minds and came to various clubs in Jingzhou for trials.

If these clubs were scattered in different cities, the trials would be quite troublesome. These internet-addicted teenagers would have to travel all over the country to find a satisfactory club.

But now it was different. All the clubs were in Jingzhou, and the GPL competition venue was also in Jingzhou. After coming to Jingzhou for a few days, they could try out each club one by one. As long as their strength was good enough, they could always find a more satisfactory one.

What's more, Jingzhou has the best esports environment. The first choice is to enter the DGE club. If you can't enter the DGE club, you can consider other clubs. If you can't play as a main player, you can be a substitute. If you can't be a substitute, you can go to youth training. In the worst case, you can go to Lazy Café to participate in the internet café competition.

With a large number of clubs and top players gathering together, the various Lazy Cafés in Jingzhou suddenly became hidden dragons and crouching tigers, especially the first Lazy Café 3.0. No one knew how many king-level players were hidden in this small internet café.

On Zhang Yuan's side, Tengda's esports department had been initially established.

The composition of the personnel in this department was more complicated. There were old employees transferred from Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games, relevant practitioners who had been uniformly recruited from the society some time ago, and some newcomers.

In addition to helping various clubs recruit and train, the esports department was also considering when to start the GPL league.

According to general habits, the spring season should be from January to April, and the summer season should be from June to September. An international event can be arranged after the spring and summer seasons.

If it is the finals, it should be held in October, and the time after that, in addition to arranging some sporadic entertainment events, is mainly rest time and the transfer period.

It is currently November, which should be within the transfer period. The GPL League Spring Season will not start until January at the earliest.

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

GPL is a league with many teams and a high density of matches. A long gap is not conducive to players maintaining their competitive level, nor is it conducive to maintaining the league's popularity.

Moreover, the newly formed clubs also urgently need to play some relatively formal matches to give their players a chance to practice and allow their teams to integrate faster.

Although the clubs are already organizing training matches, the effect of training matches is very different from that of formal matches.

Therefore, the esports club decided to hold a GPL preseason match in December, and each club can freely choose whether to participate depending on the situation.

If some teams have not yet been formed, they can not participate; and those teams that have been formed can use the main and substitute players. The main purpose of this competition is to train the team and warm up for the upcoming GPL spring season.

The competitive level may not be very high, but at least the audience can have fun watching it.

Pei Qian had no objection to these match arrangements.

After all, the popularity of GPL has already risen, and holding one more or one less match will not have a big impact on the popularity.

Pei Qian himself is a loyal audience, and watching a few more matches can add some entertainment activities, which is also a good thing.
