627 A Contest Between Man and Machine
The forty million figure on the screen shook him. It was as if he was seeing a phenomenon that transcended common sense.
Many people found it hard to believe that the number of viewers in the live stream had soared so high in an instant.
Two construction sites stood quietly across from the camera.
The construction robot was on one side, and the three experienced bricklayers were on the other side.
Wu Mo spoke in a deep and firm voice, “Let’s see if this robot can keep up with the three of you at the same time.”
When the three professional bricklayers heard this news, their fighting spirit was instantly ignited.
During their brief silence, one could almost see the surging waves in their hearts.
Wu Mo proceeded to issue a challenge. “The evaluation criteria is very simple. First, we’ll look at speed. Whoever makes the most progress in six hours will get the highest score.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the doubt in everyone’s hearts began to swell. They wondered what the second criterion would be.
Wu Mo smiled slightly and said, “Secondly, we’ll look at the quality, which includes smoothness and sturdiness.”
The requirements were straightforward. The structure needed to have a certain shine, and it also needed to be strong as well as durable. It had to be durable enough to withstand the wind and rain.
Since the rules were reasonable, no one questioned them.
The three bricklayers got ready, but the robot did not need any preparation. It was just waiting for orders.
“Begin!” The moment Wu Mo gave the order, the robot began operating.
Machines were undoubtedly more efficient than human muscles. The robot picked up the bricks and quickly piled them in the designated place. Then, it applied a layer of cement and pressed the bricks down.
“It’s fast! It’s too fast!”
When the scene played out before the audience, everyone could not help but widen their eyes.
They were extremely shocked. Its speed and efficiency exceeded their imagination.
Their gazes followed the robot’s every movement. It was a kind of speed, an incomparable efficiency.
Just as the three bricklayers were about to bend down and pick up some bricks, the AI robot had already completed one task.
“Heavens! It’s that fast? Looks like we need to use our ultimate skill. We have to go all out!” one of the professionals held his breath and said with a serious expression.
“This is a big world, but there’s nothing the three of us can’t handle. Let’s show it how powerful humans can be!”
The three bricklayers were filled with fighting spirit as they began to build their wall.
They were fully immersed in their task. They incorporated their unique techniques and the most efficient methods they knew.
Every single one of them went all out, and they lay one brick after another with determination.
An hour later, a tall wall was formed. They did not stop. Instead, they quickly began a new round of construction.
This time, they piled bricks at the end of the wall, and a majestic aura emanated from their bodies.
When Wu Mo saw this, he was extremely shocked.
‘These are top-notch construction workers. The speed and quality of their work are unparalleled.”
At this moment, the audience members all over the world were watching the contest nervously and excitedly.
This unprecedented wall-building contest made their hearts surge.
There were also many voices cheering for the three masters in the live chat.
They saw them as the representatives of human beings, more alive than those cold robots.
Of course, there were also people who chose to support the intelligent robot. They believed that the world would welcome the robot era in tthe future.
Wu Mo watched on in silence. He was unmoved.
He only observed the robot’s every move carefully.
The robot built the wall extremely fast. The angle and strength of each brick were just right. There was no error.
In comparison to the master-level wall building skills of the three humans, it was so fast that it was almost unbelievable.
However, the three masters gradually left the robot behind, and their construction speed increased by a large margin.
“Haha, I knew we would win! Look at that robot. No matter how strong it is, it will never be able to replace us!” one of the professionals shouted excitedly.
“Of course, the dominance of this world has always been in the hands of us humans. Robots are just our tools!” another one proudly echoed.
“Hehe, it’s still too early to celebrate. We haven’t won yet!” the third one reminded him calmly.
Most of the audience members were leaning toward the three humans.
After all, the three of them were now working together, and they had completely left the robot behind. Victory seemed to be in sight.
“This is amazing! They’re top-notch wall builders. I’ve made up my mind. After this contest, I’ll ask them to be my mentors and learn their skills!” a young audience member announced excitedly.
At this time, certain young individuals who had recently graduated from school were having trouble finding jobs. They were worried about which career to pursue.
The live stream gave them inspiration. They decided to learn how to build walls and houses.
Many people had once looked down on such work. They believed it to be rough labor on the construction site.
Now, however, they realized that building walls was a skill, and professionals in the field were respected.
Besides, they played an irreplaceable role in the entire construction process.
However, current masters were facing the problem of aging.
Among the young people, too few had learned the same skills.
However, the live stream of the contest had aroused the enthusiasm of many.
They immediately chose to join the team and decided to study professional wall-building techniques as well as devote themselves to the industry.
At this moment, the skills and speed of the three professionals were shocking to the extreme!
They had beautiful techniques and amazing efficiency. They instantly overshadowed the intelligent robot.
Wu Mo was filled with doubt when he saw this.
“How is this possible? An intelligent robot is actually losing to the three humans,” he murmured.
When he bought this robot, the system clearly told him that the robot’s construction speed was equivalent to ten human construction workers.
Yet, the robot seemed to be losing steam. Had he purchased a fake robot?
Wu Mo fell into deep thought. He carefully checked his purchase records and the robot’s features.
In the end, he discovered an important piece of information—this robot had a “Berserk Construction Mode.”
“Berserk Construction Mode?” Wu Mo read these words with some surprise and doubt. Then, he smiled helplessly.
“So you still have a trick up your sleeve. In that case, I’ll activate your crazy construction mode!”
Wu Mo nodded and pressed the button. Once he did so, everything would change.
