The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 492 Will Robots Miss Little Fish? (Part 69)

As it turned out, Lin Huanming's intuition was correct.

First reporter: "K011, are you feeling nervous right now?"

K011 blinked and replied, "Thank you for your concern. I haven't learned how to be nervous yet, but I can observe that the atmosphere is very excited."

The second reporter: "K011, do you think you can develop your own emotions?"

K011 sat on the stage: "Emotions require the coordinated coordination of the brain, nerves, heart, and other organs. I am just a robot. I have no emotions and I cannot evolve emotions. This is common sense."

"If by 'self-feeling' you mean whether I would violate the Three Laws of Robotics and harm humans, then my answer is no."

The third reporter: "K011, what methods do you have against humanity?"

K011 replied: "Humans are humans, and it doesn't matter to me what I think."

The fourth reporter asked, "K011, will your company continue to produce products based on your current appearance?"

K011 tilted its head: "Of course that's impossible. I'm only in my initial form now, and my appearance will be gradually improved to avoid the uncanny valley effect."

"Moreover, everyone has different preferences, and the company will offer a customized appearance service later, but it is not allowed to use real photos for customization."

They must have asked this question before. Lin Huanming stood on the stage, feeling bored. However, since K011 hadn't gone down yet, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to walk down herself and leave K011 on the stage alone.

So Lin Huanming could only force himself to stand patiently on the podium, occasionally taking a sip of the longan and goji berry tea he had brought up, watching to see what questions the reporters below would ask.

The reporters in the audience seemed reluctant to leave, but they couldn't think of any questions to ask. After all, they were from different fields and couldn't bring themselves to ask anything relevant.

As he watched those hands fall one by one, Lin Huanming thought it was about time. Just as he was about to give K011 the order to leave with him, he saw another person raise their hand.

This should be the last one, Lin Huanming thought, and then waited for K011 to finish answering the last person's question.

The man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, cleared his throat as he held up a small microphone:

"K011, what kind of role do you think you will play in the future?"

"As a companion robot, I will play a role in places like hospitals where I can care for and make the person I am accompanied happy."

"In busy families, I will become a family member and a bridge for communication."

"I will play various roles in all sorts of places where I am needed, but the ultimate goal is always to make humans feel happy and safe," K011 replied.

The voice of the person wearing gold-rimmed glasses resounded in the hall: "As a companion robot, do you think you would replace a human?"

K011 blinked and said, "I will not replace a human's identity. I am a robot. Humans and we are fundamentally different. How could I replace a creature that is fundamentally different from me?"

"Alright then, a few last questions I'd like to ask Professor Lin." Seeing that K011 had answered her first two questions, System Q turned its attention to Lin Huanming.

Lin Huanming was standing there in a daze, thinking about what to eat for dinner. She was suddenly called out and almost didn't react, but her poker face didn't show any panic.

Lin Huanming looked down from the podium at the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

“Okay,” Lin Huanming picked up the microphone in front of him and said, “Go ahead and ask.”

"Professor Lin, I'd like to ask you why you wanted to create K011?" System Q asked, staring intently at Lin Huanming's face.

This gaze made Lin Huanming feel uncomfortable, even though he was thinking: Sir, I think I made myself very clear in my opening remarks, and I just gave a second explanation of this project. What were you doing at the time? Were you daydreaming?

However, Lin Huanming patiently recounted her creative journey in developing K011 once again.

After hearing Lin Huanming's answer, System Q persisted: "Alright, let me ask the second question—what if the user develops feelings for the robot during use?"

Lin Huanming wasn't sure what the reporter wanted, so she suppressed the slight impatience that had just risen in her heart and replied, "We can't control the emotions of users, but we have added a module to the robot so that when it detects abnormal emotions in users, it can remind them that they are robots."

“Alright, one last question,” System Q said, unconvinced, “As a companion robot, the existence of K011 may lead to the following situations: the user’s family may experience deeper rifts due to the existence of K011, a companion robot that can highly mimic humans. How does your company plan to prevent this?”
