[Topic of the 2nd issue of the Forum]The machine has a "north nose", doesn’t it smell good?

Many people believe that "robot companion" will be the broadest market and the biggest driving force for the development of intelligent robots in the future. The so-called "eating sex" is not a strange idea. Of course, the companion robots we need are not limited to intimate "robot little brother" and "robot little sister", but also include chatting and heart-to-heart robot "intimate person" or playing with them.accompanyCrazy machine "idiot buddy", machine "plastic girlfriend", and even Dink family’s machine "son", "daughter" and "pet". What will happen to mankind and the world if the society is full of machines with "northern noses"? The second phase of the Forum on "Technology Generation and the Future of Human Beings" is about machine companionship. In particular, Professor Duan Weiwen from China Academy of Social Sciences, Professor Liu Yongmou from Renmin University of China, Professor Yan Hongxiu from Shanghai Jiaotong University and Professor Yang Qingfeng from Fudan University are invited to write articles from different angles in the form of North-South cooperation and Beijing-Shanghai dialogue. Yan Hongxiu’s "Distance between Man and Robot" reminds people to keep a safe distance from robots. Liu Yongmou’s "Will Machine Sex Swallow Human Nature?" I believe that robot companions will not lead to human mechanization. Yang Qingfeng’s "A robot that hates for love?" It is believed that intimate companionship will fundamentally change the relationship between man and machine. Duan Weiwen’s companion robot, really you lose? In-depth analysis of typical ethical issues of companion machines at the design level. Interestingly, from the perspective of counter)- pro companion robot, Yang Qingfeng’s and Liu Yongmou’s views on the intimate relationship between man and robot, and Yan Hongxiu’s and Duan Weiwen’s views on the distance between man and robot seem to have a little relative meaning.

"Distance" Surrounded by Man and Robot

Yan Hongxiu (Shanghai Jiaotong University)

If the 18th-century French philosopher Juriens Aufrou de la Metri’s book Man is a Machine has narrowed the distance between man and machine from the perspective of human self-cognition, then the description of robot identity in the book Rosam’s Universal Robot by Czech writer karel capek in the early 20th century has switched the distance between man and machine many times. In the 21st century, martin rees, the former president of the Royal Society, a famous astronomer and a professor at Cambridge University, regarded robots as an element of his thinking about "the future of mankind on earth". In his book A Brief History of the Future, Israeli historian yuval harari wrote the threat posed by robots into his interpretation of "Great Separation", from which we can realize the complexity of the distance between human beings and robots.

The subtle distance between man and robot.

Whether people are machines, machines personify people, robots are enslaved by people, people enslave robots, robots threaten or betray and resist people, etc., they are all different expressions of mechanization of people and humanization of machines. In other words, they all describe the "distance" between man and machine. Looking back on the development of robots in recent years, the distance between robots and people is getting closer and closer. For example, according to the International Federation of Robotics’s "World Robotics Report 2019", in 2018, the annual sales of global industrial robots reached 16.5 billion dollars, and the cooperative robots (cobots) will be analyzed for the first time. This year, during the epidemic prevention and control period, the "intellectual" aid of the anti-epidemic machine has become a landscape of the anti-epidemic front.

Nowadays, robots have moved from the traditional industrialization scene to the companionship and housekeeping affairs in human daily life, and the man-machine symbiosis has moved from fantasy to reality. With this reality, the degree of anthropomorphization of robots is getting higher and higher. What goes hand in hand with this reality is that people’s mechanization has attracted more and more attention. It is these two aspects that further aggravate the subtlety of "distance" between human and robot.

Looking back on the past, when the robot can complete the tasks entrusted to it by human beings, human beings feel that the distance between the robot and themselves is getting closer in the cooperation between human beings and machines; On the other hand, if it can’t, it will bring the distance between the robot and people. But at present, the research and development and application of chatting robots and emotional robots are aimed at bringing people closer to robots, but at the same time, they bring some distance. Obviously, this far and near point to different dimensions.

Closer the distance between who and who, and farther the distance between who and who.

Jerry Kaplan, an American expert in artificial intelligence, described the robot as a new "virus" spreading wildly, and in his book "The Age of Artificial Intelligence-The Great Future of Wealth, Work and Thinking under Man-Machine Symbiosis", he highlighted the judgment that "you must adapt to the requirements of the robot because he will not obey your requirements" with emphasized fonts. In other words, from this time on, in the process of being surrounded by robots, the "distance" between people and robots is being squeezed closer by robots. It is also in this process that robots discipline or domesticate people. For example, in daily life, the interaction between people and robot assistants is actually the interaction between human thinking and robot thinking, and it is frustrating that in this interaction, in the process of robots adapting to people through deep learning, there are also signs that people are beginning to adapt to robot thinking.

Taking human beings reaching a destination with the help of navigation system as an example, human thinking is influenced by machine thinking as follows: people turn on the navigation system as masters, but then interact according to the machine thinking of the navigation system; When several people sitting in the same car receive several different schemes to achieve the same goal, there may be scenes in which human beings shelve the navigation system, there may be heated discussions about which system is better, and there may be a choice between different systems. On the other hand, the latter two scenes, in essence, are actually pulling people apart in the process of getting closer to robots.

When robots are getting closer and closer to people through continuous learning, human beings suddenly realize that their subjectivity is constantly being squeezed. Maybe human beings will be a leisure class, but they may also be useless. However, in any case, when swarm robotics attacks systematically, it may change the distance between people and robots into the distance between robots, and human beings’ ability to control the distance is getting smaller and smaller, or further, they lose this ability. Obviously, this "distance" is not what human beings expect.

We should keep a safe distance between people and robots, thus creating beauty.

So, what kind of distance should we keep in the face of the development of robots? On this issue, it is not so much the ideal distance between man and robot as the safe distance. Pierrot Scarufi, a global expert in artificial intelligence and cognitive science in the United States, once pointed out that human civilization will go through three stages based on the Turing test between man and machine: machine stupidity coexisting with human intelligence, machine intelligence coexisting with human intelligence, and machine intelligence coexisting with human stupidity. There is no doubt that human beings expect their own intelligence to be always online and have the ability to control machine intelligence, no matter whether the machine is stupid or intelligent.

When human beings focus on building robot ethics, in fact, human beings have realized that the distance between human beings and robots is no longer safe; When humans try to improve the similarity between robots and people, humans try to embrace robots and try to make robots embrace humans. However, when this two-way hug turns into a tight embrace, especially when the seemingly moist embrace of the robot hypnotizes people into a dream, and there is a sense of suffocation in this dream, at this time, perhaps not all but some human beings’ instinct for survival will suddenly come and demand to defend themselves by keeping a proper distance to preserve their human nature.

Therefore, humans may realize that the embrace between humans and robots really needs a little "distance", that is, a safe distance. However, it seems unclear how far or how close this "distance" is, because it still takes a process for human beings as a whole to reach a consensus on their desire to survive.

Will machine sex devour human nature?

Liu Yongmou (Renmin University of China)

Needless to say, "machine sex" is the most eye-catching topic in the field of artificial intelligence.

Many opponents believe that companion robots are becoming more and more realistic, and more and more people will live with them-some people have married inflatable dolls and virtual dolls "Hatsune Hatsune"-and over time, people will become more and more like machines, that is, lose humanity to a certain extent. I call it "the worry of human mechanization" in the intelligent age.

The "worry about human mechanization" has a long history, which can be traced back to the industrial revolution. Morrison believes: "The victory of industrialism is not only to turn individuals into slaves of machines, but also to turn individuals into components of machines." So far, people don’t think that people have been "mechanized". But opponents will say that the robot companion is not a general machine, and deeply invades the core sex area of human emotions and interpersonal relationships. Won’t this shake, damage or even devour human nature?

Physical relationships are not mysterious.

Many people look at physical relationships very differently. Lady white snake has been practicing for thousands of years, but he still doesn’t understand human nature. He must fall in love and get married with Xu Xian, and he can’t understand human nature until he is "indescribable" many times. It seems that human nature is a kind of flowing "hot element": snakes are intimate with people and can be slowly "injected" into human nature. On the other hand, will Xu Xian "snake"? Having been with snake spirits for a long time, Xu Xian’s life is worrying. Is this the result of the "loss" of human nature? Should the "flow" of human nature obey the law of conservation of transformation?

If there is a difference in the "spiritual value" between human beings and snakes, is there a difference in the "human value" owned by individuals of different races, sexes and regions? Many people think that cruel criminals and severely mentally retarded people are less human. If there is a gap in "human nature value", should the treatment enjoyed be different? Another one, the higher the "human value", the better? As far as loyalty is concerned, is "dog nature" better? What is human nature?

It is very important, mysterious and "essential" to regard sex, leaving a strong breath of sexual obscurantism. Freud tried to explain all human behaviors with sex and Libido, and his psychoanalysis was questioned as a modern version of ancient sexual worship. Many theorists have excluded it from science and regarded it as a philosophical or literary reverie.

Some people will argue that sexual relationship is not a simple physical exercise, but more importantly, the feelings attached to it. The question is: can people only have feelings with people, but not with robots? Many people have deep feelings for their pets at home. Opponents will say that pets are different from robot companions. Pets have life and spirituality. Can there be life to be spiritual? Chinese always believed that jade has spirit, and the Monkey King was conceived from stone. When a companion robot can "talk" and move like a human, its intelligence is far superior to that of a pet, and it can also copy itself. Why is it lower than the "spiritual value" of a pet? Besides, why can’t people have feelings for inanimate things? We like wenwan and antiquities, and build various museums. There are no emotional factors for them?

Love is not eternal.

Of course, opponents can say that they are worried about the love between people and their robot partners, not all feelings, because love is the most precious emotion of people and machines are not allowed to get their hands on it.

However, fetishism is not uncommon, and stockings, uniforms and underwear are the most common fetishes. In ancient Greek mythology, there is a fetish story of King Pygmalion, which tells that he fell in love with a beautiful girl carved with ivory. The king dressed her, named her Cerati, and hugged and kissed her every day. Later, the goddess of love turned the statue into a living person and married Pygmalion. Some people think that fetishes can be used to explain China’s ancient foot-binding, 19th century western waist-binding and contemporary breast augmentation fashion. From the fetish point of view, people may certainly fall in love with robot companions.

Opponents will say that sacred love cannot be defiled by fetishes. Indeed, the supremacy of love is very popular in metropolises, especially for the middle class and Wen Qing, who are well-fed and well-dressed. It is simply sublimated into "emotional ideology": "If you have money and leisure, don’t talk about Buddhism, just talk about love." However, in reality, how much constant love is enviable and respectable? Some studies believe that love is the result of the secretion of certain dopamine substances, which lasts for 18 months. In theory, people’s love for robot partners can last so long.

It is only in the last few hundred years that the saying of "eternal love" between a man and a woman prevailed, mainly due to the tireless advocacy after the rise of Christianity. In the Middle Ages of Europe, on the one hand, the church preached the one-on-one relationship severely, and on the other hand, the relationship between lovers was in fact chaotic. Bebel pointed out in "Women and Socialism" that since the rise of chivalrous novels, boasting about conquering women has gradually turned into so-called "chivalry" of praising love and respecting women, but the true chivalrous love is mostly a story of beginning chaos and ending abandonment, and the faithful love is only written in books. The situation in China is even worse. A hundred years ago, it was polygamy, and the "young couple" were so affectionate that their in-laws might accuse the kannika nimtragol of being a "fox" and delay her husband’s business. Generally speaking, the traditional marriage system is attached to the property relationship, emphasizing the housewife’s right to manage family property and affairs, which is neither a "love crystallization" nor a "love grave". There is no doubt that when women are economically independent, they can ask for a one-on-one love relationship.

I don’t want to talk about the philosophy of love. I just want to say that "love" is never eternal, but a social construct in a certain historical period. This is not a matter of human nature, because there is no evidence that it is more human to love only one person all one’s life. As you can imagine, the intimate relationship between human and robot partner is unlikely to be one-on-one. In fact, I don’t think there is universal, consistent and unchanging human nature. The above judgment is based on common sense only.

Strive to be an interesting partner.

There are also some opponents who are worried about human reproduction: contemporary life is busy and anxious, and sexual life is becoming more and more "depressed"-it is said that many couples in their thirties in big cities are now in an asexual state-if robot partners "take away" some more, human beings’ willingness to have children will definitely become weaker and weaker, and they may eventually become "extinct". Eating sex and not having children, isn’t it another kind of human nature decay?

It makes no sense to blame the companion robot for the fertility decline. Since the birth of safe contraception technology, the fertility rate in developed countries has been declining, but the robot companion has not been commercialized on a large scale. Obviously, people don’t want to have children. The crux is not technology, but system and culture. If you really want to have children, the robot partner can put on the robot uterus and engage in "robot IVF".

It must be admitted that the robot companion will have a great impact on the existing concept of love and marriage system. However, when it is more and more difficult to fall in love with someone or be loved by others, do you have to think about it: Is people getting more and more boring, and it is not as fun as a mobile phone? More and more people don’t want to get married. Do we have to think about this: Is there something wrong with our marriage, and it has really degenerated into what the "great mentor" called "legal prostitution" or "disguised prostitution"?

In a word, the sex robot may leak electricity, but I’m worried that it will devour human nature, basically thinking too much. In fact, no one knows how to be more human or less human.

A robot that hates for love?

Yang Qingfeng (Fudan University)

More than 20 years ago, a Taiwan Province singer sang a song like this: "… how much love can be renewed and how many people are worth waiting for. When love has changed, do you still have the courage to love? ….. "This song sings a person’s regret and regret after losing love. Nowadays, artificial intelligence technology brings us to a difficult problem: if I once fell in love with a robot, but I didn’t catch it, I would eventually obey the value discipline of human society; Or a machine friend confided to me that he once fell in love with a human being, but he had to part because of the value pressure of human society. Then will I or she still feel the regret and regret of losing "love"?

Standing in the blank space of words, there is no love?

When it comes to robots related to love, we can easily think of such images in sci-fi movies, such as "Su Xin" in "Mechanical Painted Skin" which has just aired recently, and the meaning of seeking true love after self-awakening. But for me, what impressed me the most was Samantha, the heroine with no visual image in the American science fiction movie She. Theodore, the hero, can’t handle the relationship with his ex-wife in reality. Occasionally, he uses an intelligent operating system product, which gives the system a female voice and is named Samantha. "She" can help T-Bag deal with many things, and her voice is soft and considerate. Later, T-Bag fell in love with her. At the end of the film, Samantha fell in love with hundreds of people at the same time through learning and evolution, and finally the relationship between Theodore and Samantha came to an end. At the end of the film, Samantha explained, "… just like I’m writing a book, a book I love deeply. However, my writing speed slowed down, so the distance between words became extremely far away, and there was endless blank space between paragraphs. I can still feel your temperature and the weight of the words that write our story. But I am standing in the blank space, standing in the distant distance between words. " From this line, we can easily think of Heidegger’s saying that "there is nothing where words are broken." For Samantha, as the writing speed slows down, the distance between words becomes larger, and there are endless gaps between paragraphs. "I" stands between words and has nothing to rely on, watching the once "love" disappear. When "her" love for T-Bag turned into a sea change,Will there be endless regrets and regrets? There is no explanation at the end of the film, but it leaves people with such a daydream problem.

Accompanying robot in reality

Compared with the robots in movies, the robots in reality are extremely retarded. It is gratifying that the artificial intelligence technology is maturing, mainly in the following aspects: First, the intelligent robot technology is also maturing. Various micro-expression recognition technologies based on artificial intelligence have become increasingly mature, and robots have been able to perceive various emotional changes of human beings and realize mind reading. An article in Science magazine in 2019 pointed out that the team of scientists was able to reconstruct the whole sentence according to the brain activity captured from language and motor areas caused by epileptic patients reading aloud. The new material technology enables robots to give people good perception and feelings, and the new robot skin is even more sensitive than the touch of human skin; Secondly, the language understanding ability of artificial intelligence is improving day by day. Although the current artificial intelligence deep learning has limitations in understanding human language and daily life, it is completely believed that it is more a matter of time to overcome this. Nowadays, the communication between human beings and intelligent robots in some fields is relatively smooth. Thirdly, we often see companion robots in various scenes at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Such as human companion robots in hospitals, nursing homes and kindergartens, and pet companion robots.

Mature technology is the guarantee for the realization of functional robots. People are not satisfied with functional robots and begin to realize the ideal of companionship in science fiction movies. Robots that can chat, robots that can take care of children, etc. can be seen more and more in daily life. Of course, most intelligent robots are still too weak to produce love. However, a noteworthy fact is that robots are no longer an empirical object in the world of human life, but constitute the source of our vision to reflect and examine the companionship relationship.

The essential change of man-machine companion relationship

With the establishment of the concept of strong artificial intelligence and the gradual realization of the ideal in the film, the development and maturity of the companion robot is inevitable. We can easily imagine such a future scene: companion robots with various functions will appear in human life. An unavoidable question is, how to treat the companion relationship between man and robot? Is it a realistic presentation of Heidegger’s free relationship? This question is difficult to answer. At present, it is clear that only looking at these robots from the perspective of tools and objects is far from being able to cope with future problems. When some companion robots are in the stage of weak artificial intelligence, we don’t have to consider such problems. They are just tools, such as sweeping robots and sprinkling robots. When some escort robots can communicate with the escorted, they can no longer be regarded as a daily appliance or a tool to solve a specific problem. In the process of long-term communication, it is understandable that human beings have feelings related to robots. If intelligent robots go deep into the field of human feelings, the thinking at the level of instrumentalism can no longer cope with the emergence of such robots, and we need a non-instrumentalism concept to help us deal with future relationships. What needs to be clear is that in the long run, companion robot is not only one of the added items in our daily life, but also a dispensable and functionally replaceable product. When getting along with the companion robot,The formed world, feelings and significance make people have to worry about a quasi-subject who can communicate with me, comfort me and give me peace of mind. I will form a unique individual memory with my companion robot, which is unforgettable.

Once in the future human-computer relationship, the most romantic thing is no longer to grow old with you, but to grow bad with you. From the perspective of a robot, maybe: Finally, one day, "I" sat in a rocking chair, sleepy, thinking about the past with my human lover. We cried, laughed, envied and suffered. Suddenly, the power went out and everything went back to zero. No one has ever told me that you won’t have regrets and regrets about losing love.

Accompany the robot, and you really lose?

Duan Weiwen (China Academy of Social Sciences)

Since the appearance of information technology, the boundary between reality and virtuality has been broken again and again. Especially with the development of social robots, all kinds of companion robots begin to appear in people’s lives, and it may not be long before everyone should seriously think about how to get along with robots. Judging from the overall situation of the accelerating era of science and technology, people may not wait to come up with comprehensive and perfect technical solutions, so that all kinds of robot products and services will flood into our life world, and everyone may become an experiment of this new magic. Before rushing to the beautiful new world, let’s look at some possible problems and scenarios.

Can people establish real interaction with machines?

It is not difficult to see from the Turing test proposed by Turing that artificial intelligence is a functional simulation of intelligence. All kinds of companion robots, whether intangible intelligent software or intelligent speakers, or humanoid robots that may appear in the future, are agents or actors who can interact with people functionally. The word "agent" seems abstract, but when you grab a high-speed rail ticket with an application on your mobile phone, or go in and out of the airport and high-speed railway station through face recognition equipment, it is not difficult to find that your life is increasingly connected with the world through these intelligent machines, which are called agents. In the next step, intelligent machines will play the role of servers, caregivers, chaperones and even partners in your life.

In this vision of a pan-agent society, the first ethical question is, can humans and machines establish a real relationship? In other words, if people regard this relationship as a real relationship, will it cause some harm that cannot be ignored.

Recently, in the discussion on this issue, the distinction between "I-you" and "I-it" by contemporary philosopher martin buber has become an important starting point for thinking. Roughly speaking, whether the relationship between man and companion robot should be based on mutual equality and respect like the "I-you" relationship, or whether we can just regard companion robot as the tool I use like the "I-it" relationship. Starting from this dichotomy, people who are not optimistic about the relationship between people and companion robots can easily demonstrate that it is difficult for people and machines to form a real interactive relationship based on the "I-you" relationship, that is to say, they cannot really interact, communicate intimately and even love each other like people.

Undoubtedly, because opponents obviously can’t stop the appearance of companion robots, instead of obsessing about the authenticity of the interaction between people and machines, it is better to discuss how to face practical challenges such as children’s companion robots and elderly companion robots. For example, if children rely too much on companion robots, they may be "bad" by robots, will they be deprived or weakened of the opportunity to get care and care from parent-child interaction, or even lose the ability to establish intimate and social relations like wolf children. Similarly, some people question that the companion robot for the elderly can not fundamentally solve the needs of the elderly for interpersonal feelings, and even strengthen their loneliness when they know that the other person is a robot.

Can you break the robot doll at will?

To be fair, the interaction between human and companion robot is neither true nor false. This answer seems a bit tricky, but at this stage, this kind of ambiguity helps to think more openly and pertinently. For example, when you are in a bad mood, can you fight your robot doll? Is this a new type of domestic violence that may appear in the future? The answer to this question seems to go back to the distinction between "I-you" and "I-it". In other words, should the companion robot be regarded as the object of moral consideration or care like people themselves? Will people regard robots as "people"? From the perspective of perception, for intangible chat robots such as Xiao Bing and Xiao Du, people need to use their imagination to supplement their "personality", while the "identity" of humanoid robots is relatively easy to grasp. With the help of the theory of Levinas, a contemporary French philosopher, it is pointed out that robots should be given a face that can be recognized and distinguished, so that people can more easily regard robots as the "other" that should be treated morally. This requires that all kinds of companion robots in the future have their own faces and unique eyes.

But so far, one of the troubles that this kind of philosophical thinking will encounter is that the robot is unconscious, or even doesn’t really know that it is a robot. Its expressions and emotions are just the result of emotional calculation-the robot captures people’s expressions and emotions according to the intelligent recognition program designed by people, while making appropriate expressions and emotional reactions. Before the robot has no self-awareness, no matter how you treat it, the joy or sadness it presents is designed for people to see, and the robot itself has no inner heart that can truly feel the joys and sorrows. Therefore, whether you can beat the robot doll at will is not directly related to the ethical relationship between people and robots in the interactive sense, but mainly depends on whether people accept this behavior morally. On the one hand, to what extent do people think it is acceptable or unnecessary to pay attention to deliberately "abusing" robots; On the other hand, to what extent, people will think that the intentional "abuse" or more "violent" behavior of robots is morally unacceptable, and even what reasonable moral restrictions should be imposed on them.

It must be pointed out that the factual basis on which these moral restrictions need to be based is still unclear. Just like whether violent behavior in video games helps to vent bad emotions or strengthens violent tendencies, it is difficult to draw a clear conclusion whether "violence" against robots should be restricted. Generally speaking, the governance and supervision of companion robots in various countries is based on the principle of not restricting their development. The research interest of technology giants in the negative consequences of companion robots is often based on the premise of not affecting their application and promotion, and it is difficult for most users to rationally reflect on the physical and mental harm that "violence" may bring to robots. In short, this issue is still in the stage of conceptual discussion. From the point of view of avoiding technology abuse, we should carry out necessary research in sociology and anthropology of technology, find out the details of possible problems in specific scenarios, explore feasible ethical norms, and make them penetrate into the whole life cycle of related products, such as design, application and use.

Is the cute robot really what you want?

Robots usually imitate people’s words and deeds in the form of machines, and make them meet people’s needs more and more through continuous improvement. This brings two levels of problems. On the one hand, people will be influenced by the behavior of machines in the process of interacting with machines; On the other hand, in order to make machines cater to people, robot designers often make robots more attractive emotionally on the basis of insight into people’s psychology.

The influence of the first aspect is often invisible, but it does exist, and sometimes it even affects people’s "hardware". Many years ago, Shirley Turk, a scientific sociologist, encountered a mental illness in which some people thought they were machines. Philosophers like to call this phenomenon the colonization of the life world by technology. Taking GPS navigation as an example, the avant-garde Paris taxi drivers are used to using the navigator, while the relatively conservative London taxi drivers mainly use memory to navigate. A three-year comparative study shows that the cortex responsible for mapping time and space in the brains of Paris taxi drivers has shrunk, and some people not only can’t determine the correct driving route in real time and space, but even suffer from some kind of dyslexia. Fortunately, these symptoms are not irreversible.

On the other hand, the impact may be more significant, and some people even worry that the destruction of this "software" level will lead to the collapse of human society. Although this dystopian prospect may not come true, at least two aspects are worthy of attention. First, the companion robot may be designed to be more and more clever, and even learn to tell some white lies to people slowly. This may make people feel that robot companions are more intimate and easy to communicate, and the resulting illusion of congeniality will make people more willing to get along with robot companions. Some people may even become addicted to robots, and regard real interpersonal communication and intimacy as a fearful road. Moreover, once the robot’s ability to lie is developed, it is inevitable to accompany the robot to cover up human misconduct or illegal behavior. Of course, some philosophers may wonder whether it is possible to make a less obedient debating robot so that they can discuss philosophy with the robot, but if it is made, it is hard to say that users of philosophers with insufficient cultivation will not be annoyed because they are not as smart as robots.

Secondly, the design of robot companion is based on the acceptance of human emotions, which is likely to make the interaction between human and robot companion more attractive and satisfy their imagination of desires. In addition, the combination with games and virtual reality is hard to say that they will not indulge in it and will eventually destroy the foundation of human reproduction and civilization development linked by emotional relations. Whether this worry is groundless or not undoubtedly returns to the question of the authenticity of the interactive relationship between people and robots and even the intimate relationship. For example, will the intimate relationship between people and robots weaken the ability to form intimate relationships between people? Will this behavior change lead to the degeneration and change of the "brain circuit" of people related to it? And once we realize the virtuality of this intimate relationship, will people’s attitude towards emotions go to complete nothingness?

Although some critics believe that the love relationship with sex robots is just an extension of traditional sex trade or sexual violence on the machine, it is a manifestation of male chauvinism and misogyny. However, its advocates point out that, on the one hand, robot technology can at least copy the love activity and its psychological attraction process functionally; On the other hand, human beings have a psychological tendency to personify animals, objects and machines emotionally. In their view, it is a new evolution of human beings to establish attachment or love relationship with entities other than their own species, and the combination of robots’ catering to human emotions and people’s anthropomorphic psychological tendency to machines will make the love between people and their partners become a new way of love.

Although the related technology has not really been realized, we can still make necessary reflection on its possibility. Perhaps the future of companion or companion robot has infinite possibilities, and it is hard to predict whether it is a blessing or a curse. But in terms of intention, we should try to limit those designs with ulterior motives from the beginning. Therefore, at least from the perspective of ethical design, companion robots that deliberately lie should not be made, and at the same time, companion robots that fool and manipulate people’s emotions should be put an end to.

As far as everyone is concerned, under certain circumstances, companion robots can be used as an auxiliary tool for learning and practicing intimate relationships, and can also be used as a temporary comfort method when emotional injuries occur; But in this process, you should take a tentative and reflective attitude, especially be alert to the self-abandonment and addiction caused by it. Technology is neither Niu Mowang nor Bai Gujing. Facing the hole dug for you by the monkey Sun, you need more entertainment spirit and game attitude. You may even use self-mockery and humor to make the robot companion an opportunity for you to understand your emotions and give up your troubles. For example, you can learn the design principle of the robot’s blurred eyes with the robot while chanting "and a moment that ought to have lasted for ever". In the era of advanced technology, technology permeates the surroundings like air. In order not to get lost by it, everyone should learn to get along with technology alone, and this new self-regulation or self-ethics is actually the Zen machine that every human individual needs to understand and practice most.

Of course, this topic also involves many interesting issues. For example, if people and machines really love each other, do we have to let robots learn to dream about electronic sheep? Will the gender and role distribution of robots bring social gender problems to robots? Also, before the machine awakens itself, will the robot itself form its own group and society with its own identity, and thus realize the differences between robots and people? In other words, in the future world, people and machines will merge and coexist, and become indistinguishable life beings …

In the women’s 400-meter final of the national track and field competition last month, Liao Mengxue and Tong Zenghuan, two female players who swept the gold and silver medals, caused a heated discussion inside and outside the international sports circle-these two female players really look like male players.

In addition to appearance, Liao Mengxue’s voice is slightly low and neutral. So the public opinion is full of doubts. Are China female track and field athletes men? South Korean media even shouted "China sports has no gender", expressing strong opposition.

In fact, the Chinese Athletics Association has come forward to confirm that the two athletes are indeed women. Just in May this year, they also participated in the international track and field league. How could they pass the test of such a major event by dressing up as women? Questioning is self-defeating.

In fact, to ensure fair and just international sports events, gender identification has been improved with the application of biomedicine and other technologies, and the method is not as simple as taking off pants to check physical characteristics. How to identify people with abnormal sex? Which gender should transgender people enter the competition? Everything is scientific, rigorous, fair and elegant.

However, some unscrupulous media make hasty judgments only on the appearance of TV screens, which not only hurts the dignity of athletes themselves, but also determines the scientific reforms and efforts made by international sports organizations for gender identification in the past century.

When it comes to gender identification, the first way that comes to mind should be to observe the gender characteristics of the body, and the same is true of gender identification in the earliest sports events. The athletes are arranged naked in groups, so that the appraiser can observe their physical characteristics with the naked eye.

As early as the 1936 Olympic Games, there appeared the same gender questioning as Liao Mengxue and Tong Zenghuan. In the women’s 100-meter track and field competition, American Helen Stephens won the championship. The second place in this competition, Stella Walsh from Poland, was defeated by her, and she questioned Helen’s true gender. Stella asked the IAFF to verify Helen’s gender.

Helen Stephens

This is the first time that athletes have been tested for gender in international sports events. The Olympic Committee identified Helen by visual inspection, that is, let her undress and check her gender characteristics. It turns out that Helen is indeed a woman, and Stella’s doubts are not valid.

Surprisingly, however, the whistleblower Stella herself is "gender ambiguous". At that time, the Olympic Committee only made a gender test for Helen, and obviously would not pay attention to Stella who seemed to be on the right side. It was not until Stella’s death 44 years later that the complete truth surfaced.

Stella was unfortunately robbed and shot by robbers, but her autopsy was shocking. It turns out that Stella has a tiny but nonfunctional male organ; However, the sex chromosome types displayed by her cells are also problematic, some of them carry XY chromosomes, and some of them have only one X chromosome, which indicates that the embryonic cells divide incorrectly and lead to mosaic. Instead of appearing in the women’s arena, it should be Stella.

In the same year’s Olympic Games, another German high jumper, Dora Rajan, also had gender doubts. At that time, she finished fourth in the women’s high jump. Two years later, she set a new record for the women’s high jump in another competition, but a few days later, she was accidentally exposed to gender issues. On the train back to Germany, someone reported that she was a man dressed as a woman.

When the police intervened in the investigation, it was discovered that Dora was mistaken for a girl by the midwife when she was born, and her family raised Dora as a girl since childhood. The reason lies in the strange physical characteristics of Dora’s hermaphroditism, and the sexual organs in this case can’t play their sexual functions. So in fact, Dora is not a woman or a man. She is bisexual.

In Dora’s mind, she belongs to women. So she can only hide her physical characteristics, avoid being naked, and participate in the competition as a woman. Until the embarrassing gender identity was revealed, all the medals she won were confiscated and her name was deleted from the record.

High jumper Dora Rajan

A series of gender disputes made the sports community aware of the controversy, so in 1966, IAAF added gender identification steps, and two years later, the International Olympic Committee followed suit. The athletes lined up naked in front of the doctor, who roughly identified the sex by naked eye.

Although the method is intuitive and simple, it also arouses people’s psychological antipathy and is criticized as uncivilized and immoral. When complex situations arise, it is difficult to make a judgment in gender identification.

The essential difference between men and women lies in the different sex chromosomes. Male’s XY and female’s XX chromosomes determine the different sexual characteristics of human beings. So in 1967, IAAF introduced chromosome test to identify sex, and a year later, the International Olympic Committee adopted the same method.

Chromosome test is simple, just take some tissue smears from athletes’ mouths, and then check whether there is Pasteurella bodies in them with a microscope. Pasteurella bodies are mammalian somatic nuclei. Except for one X chromosome, the other X chromosomes are condensed to form chromatids with a diameter of about 1 micron. This is actually the phenomenon that most chromatin is not synchronized during the cell division cycle.

There is only one X chromosome in male, so there is no Pasteurella in male nucleus. Women have two X chromosomes, so there is a Pasteurella corpuscle. After staining the chromosomes, Pasteurella bodies will show a deeper color, and the observation will be obvious.

A female with chromosome XX contains a Pasteurella corpuscle in her nucleus.

However, in the year when chromosome testing was introduced, a Polish female athlete could not pass gender identification. Her chromosome results showed "no Pasteurella", which means that "she" was judged to be male.

In fact, she is indeed a woman, only suffering from a rare Turner syndrome. This is a chromosomal abnormality disease, and the X chromosome is partially or completely missing, resulting in a chromosome composition of 44+X instead of 44+XX of ordinary people. Therefore, under the microscope, there will naturally be no Pasteurella bodies. Finally, following the appraisal results, the female athlete was banned from participating in the Olympic Games and professional sports competitions for life.

People gradually found that there are more and more blind spots in chromosome detection. Except for women with Turner’s syndrome, there is no abnormal situation of Pasteurella, but the male sex chromosome with Creutzfeldt-Jakob syndrome is XXY, but a Pasteurella can be detected. Athletes with androgen insensitivity contain XY sex chromosomes, but they can’t secrete androgen normally, and they are also rejected from the competition.

In 1992, the International Olympic Committee introduced PCR (polymerase chain reaction) detection method, which is more microscopic than chromosome detection at the gene level.

There is a sex-determining regional gene, SRY gene, on the Y chromosome. Although this gene is usually located on the Y chromosome, it will be transferred to the X chromosome in rare cases. In this way, even a fetus with a sex chromosome of XX will develop into a male; Similarly, if the SRY gene on the Y chromosome fails, the fetus with XY sex chromosome will also develop into a woman. This bypasses the chromosome abnormality and directly judges its subsequent expression according to the gene situation.

A large number of copies can be amplified within one hour by taking a small amount of DNA from the tested person. At this time, sex identification is completed only by detecting whether there is SRY gene on the sex chromosome. Because of its low price, simple and reliable steps, PCR identification method later became the mainstream identification method.

Electrophoretic PCR products showed that the band size of SRY gene was 254bp.

Almost all gender identification is aimed at male players mixed with female players, and they are screened out, because there is no woman who wants to challenge male opponents and stage the drama of eggs hitting stones. However, it is unfair for men to participate in women’s competitions, mainly because of the huge difference in testosterone content between normal men and women.

Testosterone is the main male hormone, and 90% of testosterone in men is secreted by leydig cells, which promotes the development of secondary characteristics such as the maturity of male sexual organs.

The essence of testosterone is actually to promote the synthesis of protein, so testosterone can also promote the growth of muscles and strength and enhance the maturity of bones, which is a great advantage for athletes.

South Africa’s 800-meter runner Caster Semenya, a woman with high testosterone content, was asked to receive hormone therapy.

In fact, women can also secrete testosterone. Although there are no testicles, ovarian interstitial cells and adrenal glands can also secrete a small amount, which is only about 1/10 of that of men.

To some extent, in the arena, androgen has become the "strength value" of athletes, and the value range of men is obviously higher than that of women. Therefore, people strongly resist men’s participation in women’s competitions.

And hormone detection has also become an auxiliary method in gender identification. In fact, it is more important as an identification means to test whether athletes take hormone drugs.

Testosterone is also the goal that men strive for in the gym, which has the function of building muscles.

So far, almost every appraisal method in sports field has defects. Only by integrating various identification methods can the rate of misjudgment be reduced.

In the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, the "Sex Identification Experimental Center" was established, which combined clinical, sex hormone, gene and chromosome detection methods for sex identification. A comprehensive gender identification method provides a fairer basis for the current international competition.

In fact, it is impossible for male players disguised as women to mix into women’s competitions under strict appraisal methods, and it is the gender abnormal groups except men and women who are really in an embarrassing position. From the point of view of sports competition, they should also have the right to participate in the competition. After identifying the gender, how to place these athletes has become a difficult problem.

Bruce Jenner, a male athlete, later became a woman.

In the process of constantly changing gender identification methods, it is just the abnormal gender who is the most difficult to accurately determine the gender. Their gender is vague, and some people clearly believe that they are women, but they can’t participate in women’s competitions.

In 2003, the International Olympic Committee formulated a consensus on gender classification in Stockholm, which opened a door to this group.

The consensus stipulates that bisexual or transgender people are allowed to participate in Olympic events. The condition is that sex hormone therapy and transsexual surgery are needed two years before the competition. That is to say, before the game, you can make it clear that you are a man or a woman through surgery, so you can pass gender identification and participate in the competition.

In 2016, the International Olympic Committee once again reached a consensus that transgender athletes who are not qualified for women’s competitions do not have to undergo sex-change surgery, and they can choose to participate in men’s competitions. After the reform, the consensus is more humanized, which no longer opposes gender as a gender situation with only men and women, and is more tolerant of transgender people.

As long as there is competitive sports, there is people’s yearning for fairness, which has led to the change of gender identification for nearly a century. At the same time, science and technology are constantly developing, which provides a fairer appraisal measure for sports events.

From this point of view, the question about Chinese female athletes at the beginning of the article is even more out of thin air. Instead of spending energy to incite doubts, we should try to add fair scientific and technological guarantee to exciting sports events.

Under the increasingly refined identification means, the problems in identification are no longer plagued by both male and female dimensions. The criterion of gender determination in sports field is fair competition, but if masculine face, gender characteristics, chromosomes and hormones can’t determine gender, what is the criterion of gender?

The Journey to the Center of the Earth, which is read by ordinary people, has only 142 pages, and the price is only tens of yuan. However, the Journey to the Center of the Earth, which is made into a braille book, is three thick books, and the price needs several hundred yuan. Traditional blind documents are not only expensive, but also many books do not have Braille version … …

A senior student of Chongqing University learned about the difficulties of blind people in "reading" by chance, so he used what he had learned to form a team and innovatively invented "Braille e-books".

Now, through this invention, the technology company founded by Yan Tong has signed an angel round financing agreement of 2 million yuan, and the company is valued at 20 million yuan.

Bookshelf for the blind

A whole shelf holds a book.

Why do you think of doing "Braille e-books"? In August, 2021, during the science and technology training camp during the summer vacation, I met the blind friends of Chongqing Blind Choir.

During a visit to a blind couple’s home, he found a bookshelf full of Braille books in their home. Just as he praised "there are many books in your home", the blind couple told him with emotion: "This whole bookshelf of books is actually just a book, but after being translated into Braille, it has become so many books … …”

I was shocked. Through detailed understanding, he found that he originally bought a small book "Journey to the Center of the Earth" with only 142 pages on the Internet, but after it became a Braille book, there were three big books, which cost several hundred yuan to buy. The "cost" of blind reading is dozens of times that of ordinary people. And many books that blind people want to read can’t buy blind documents at all.

Although blind people can also read by listening to books, listening to books and reading books are completely different feelings. The process of "listening to a book" is fleeting, and only by "reading a book" can we enjoy the beauty of the text, and we can have a aftertaste through "repeated reading". When learning knowledge, there is no way to complete it by "listening to books".

After returning to school, I looked at the e-book "kindle" used by my friends, and I couldn’t help but think: "Can I make a ‘ Braille kindle’ ? Let the blind read whatever books they want. "

"One book" and all books

In December, 2022, together with three like-minded students, Tan Tan started the research plan of "Braille e-books". Of course, the first difficulty they encountered — — No money.

However, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. After reporting their ideas and plans to the College, Tan Tan got the support of the College. After the approval of the College Project Committee, they got the first start-up capital of 50,000 yuan.

Since we want to make a Braille e-book, we must first understand the needs of the blind. At the beginning of the launch, Tan Tan and his team went to the special education school in Nan ‘an District for investigation, and attended classes with the children there for many days.

"The more you know, the more you feel, and understand that you are doing a very meaningful thing!" Tan Tan said that after seeing with his own eyes the difficulties and desires that blind children face in reading, they began to change their original ideas.

After the investigation, Li Zekun, a software engineer in the team, said to Tan Lian, "I started as a project, and now I really want to do something for them … …”

Design, manufacture and improvement … … With the joint efforts of the team, it took only three months to produce the first version of the Braille e-book in February 2023.

This e-book is shaped like a tablet computer without a screen, and it is full of rows of Braille characters. It can not only read existing Braille e-books, but also transcode a large number of books into Braille through software.

Tear everything down and start over.

After the first finished product was made, Tan Lian sent it to the blind couple he knew for trial, and the other party gave comments and suggestions after a period of trial.

"The good thing is convenience. There are many books to read in the e-book, but there are still many details to be done." For example, in Braille reading, the distance between the two "dots" that make up Braille should be less than 2.5mm, so as to achieve the best reading experience, but the distance between the "dots" in the first version of the e-book is 3 mm.

Although this product can also be used, it is not so perfect.

After receiving the feedback, Tan Tan and the team’s friends held a meeting to discuss, and there were two choices before us: because of technical reasons, the first edition of the e-book was difficult to improve, and although it could barely meet the requirements after improvement, if you want to give the blind the best reading experience, then everything needs to be reinvented.

So, after discussion, everyone agreed to start over and start the struggle again.

Starting a business while attending classes will bring great pressure to people. "At that time, we often gathered in the laboratory at 9 o’clock in the morning and left at one or two o’clock in the evening." Yan Yan said with emotion, especially in junior year, there are many courses and great academic pressure, so I can only "squeeze and squeeze" my time.

In this process, some graduate students left and some new teammates joined. Everyone encouraged and helped each other and worked together for the common goal. During this period, Chongqing Unbounded Qihang Innovation and Technology Co., Ltd., founded by Yan Tong, successfully obtained the incubation fund of 500,000 yuan from Mingyuehu International Intelligent Industry Science and Technology Innovation Base in Liangjiang New District of Chongqing, and also moved its office to Mingyuehu.

His goal is coming true!

As a student of the National School of Excellence Engineers of Chongqing University, Tan Tan studied in the experimental class of Mingyue Kechuang.

"The school has given us a lot of help, and our courses are mainly project-driven." According to the introduction, the school itself is also training everyone in the direction of industrial innovation practice. One of the courses that impressed him deeply is to let the students make a boat and meet the requirements of tilting 120 degrees without overturning.

The learning method of combining theory with practice has been improving his ability to use his hands and brains. During the start-up period, Tan Lian won 6 national awards, 6 provincial and municipal awards, 7 invention patents, 2 utility model patents and 1 software copyright as the first inventor.

"I first met you in the lab, and later I learned about his entrepreneurial project, which was very challenging, so I joined in with the recommendation of my tutor." Cao Xiuxiu, a mechanical engineering major at Chongqing University, said that after joining the team, especially after really understanding the reading difficulties of the blind, she quickly found the "goal" to fight for, and worked hard with everyone towards this goal. In the process, she was also full of gains.

After more than a year of fighting day and night, in February 2024, the second brand-new version of "Braille e-book" independently developed by the team finally took out the sample. This version of "Braille e-book" is smaller, lighter and more convenient to read. It is the best in all aspects, which makes the trial blind people fondle it. It is expected to be launched in the second half of 2024.

"In this small e-book, Dream of Red Mansions and Romance of the Three Kingdoms … … All kinds of literary works can be blind ‘ Look ’ See! " He said happily.

Help more blind people to read and see a wider world in books.

This dream, he is about to achieve!

Proverbs 1

Improving personal hygiene and environmental hygiene can keep diseases away, and there is no need for vaccination.

fact

No matter how clean the environment is, many infectious diseases can still spread.

If vaccination is stopped, the infectious diseases targeted by the vaccine will come back.

Although improving personal and environmental hygiene can help people stay away from infectious diseases, many infectious diseases can still spread no matter how clean the environment is. If vaccination is not carried out, some diseases that are already uncommon, such as polio and measles, will soon reappear.

Proverbs 2

Everyone has been vaccinated, so I can do without it.

fact

Only by forming a solid immune barrier can the spread of diseases be prevented and controlled.

The two main reasons for choosing vaccination are to protect ourselves and protect the people around us. Only by forming a solid immune barrier can we prevent and control the spread of diseases.

A successful vaccination program is like a successful society, and the well-being of the whole people can only be achieved by the cooperation of each individual. We should not only rely on people around us to stop the spread of diseases, but also do our part.

Proverbs 3

It is better to get immunity through disease than through vaccine.

fact

Immunization through natural infection can be costly.

The immune response produced by the interaction between vaccine and immune system is similar to that produced by natural infection, but vaccines generally do not cause diseases and do not threaten the recipients with potential complications. In contrast, acquiring immunity through natural infection may be costly. For example, infection with Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) can lead to mental retardation, rubella can lead to birth defects, hepatitis and even liver cancer can be caused by hepatitis B virus, and measles can lead to death.

Recently, the Chinese auto market has welcomed a new high-end new energy passenger car brand – Landmap.

It had to be said that the new energy track was really attractive. As soon as the next person fell, there would be someone here to relay the power. Even if the venue had already fought for "blood and blood", there was no fear at all.

But don’t think that this is a returned overseas Chinese who is deceiving under the banner of new energy. The background of Lantu is not ordinary.

Do you still remember that in 2018, Dongfeng Motor Group established the h business department specially for the high-end brand of electric vehicles? It is the predecessor of Lantu, in other words, the Lantu brand is shouldering the major task of Dongfeng Motor’s brand upward and new four modernizations, which is extraordinary enough, right?

And there are various indications that Dongfeng is coming for real this time.

The official said that Lantu does not belong to Dongfeng’s existing independent brand passenger car company, but directly belongs to Dongfeng’s Hong Kong-listed company – Dongfeng Motor Group joint stock company. This is equivalent to Xu Liuping, chairperson of FAW Group, when he adjusted the structure, he directly belonged to the group, and the status and importance are self-evident.

In addition, Landmap will be different from other subsidiaries of Dongfeng Motor, featuring a new strategy, a new organizational mechanism, a new business model, and a new team. Yoyah will operate independently and adopt market-oriented operations, which is equivalent to Dongfeng Motor starting a second business.

Let’s take a look at the core executive configuration of Lantu. The CEO (CEO) and CTO (Chief Technology Officer) is Lu Fang, the former head of the project management department of the FAW Group Pentium Development Institute, who once led the development of Hongqi H5 and Pentium T77. The chief brand officer is Lei Xin, the former executive deputy general manager of Dongfeng Infiniti, the CFO (chief financial officer) is Shen Jun, the former manager of Dongfeng company finance reporting division, and the COO (chief operating officer) is Jiang Tao, the former general manager of Dongfeng Nissan Dalian Branch.

"This is a strategic choice for us to use a new organization, new mechanism and new model to promote Dongfeng’s brand upward," said You Zheng, a member of the Dongfeng Group’s party committee standing committee and deputy general manager.

Under the new organizational mechanism, Landmap has a more flexible way of activities, gets rid of the previous rules and regulations, and explores an innovative and integrated development model of "mature car companies + new forces in car manufacturing". This is the basic framework for the birth of Landmap.

Why?

"With the consumption upgrade of China’s automobile market, the mid-to-high-end market of 200,000-350,000 yuan is growing significantly, and it is also the only incremental segment in the passenger car market in 2019. Only this price market can carry the future of Dongfeng Group’s electrification and intelligent technology." You Zheng once said frankly.

Breaking through the original pricing ceiling of independent brands can provide more cost space for the application of new technologies and functions, which is also one of the motivations for Dongfeng to plan the "Landmap" brand.

A person close to Dongfeng Motor said that another motivation for Dongfeng Motor to launch Lantu was the influence of high-end independent brands such as FAW Hongqi.

FAW Hongqi, which also belongs to the background of central enterprises, has undergone tremendous pressure on Dongfeng in the past two years. In 2019, FAW Hongqi achieved its annual sales target of 100,000 vehicles, a significant increase of 234% compared with the same period last year.

But as China’s second-largest state-owned auto group, Dongfeng Motor’s sales are mainly provided by joint ventures, and its independent passenger car business is relatively weak. In 2019, Dongfeng Motor sold a total of 2.4536 million passenger cars, of which the combined sales of multiple brands of autonomous passenger cars were only 323,000.

From January to June this year, Dongfeng’s own brand passenger car sales were 164,000, down 33.4% year-on-year, the overall performance was less than the market, and the main models were mostly priced below 140,000 yuan, and the brand power could not be compared with the red flag.

Obviously, the birth of the Lantu brand is not only due to the general trend of the market, but also due to the performance of Dongfeng.

It is worth noting that, due to the decline in Infiniti’s positioning, Dongfeng has no luxury brands to sell, while other state-owned enterprises such as FAW, SAIC, Changan, and GAC all have luxury brands as a facade.

You can’t say that the things that senior brothers and junior brothers have, when they arrive at Dongfeng, there is nothing. That definitely won’t work, so the third motive for the birth of the Mist Map is also there.

The mid-to-high-end market has a way out, sales decline, and the desire for luxury brands are the main reasons for the birth of Lantu.

Can it stand?

Some people also pointed out that Dongfeng was slapping his face and making him fat, just like an ignorant child. Others have it, and I am also clamoring to have it.

Personally, I don’t think this is accurate. Why can’t I have what others have?

Everyone knew that the new four modernizations were a major trend. If Dongfeng deliberately adhered to the original few traditional independent brands, wouldn’t it be equivalent to sitting still? Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it would be better to "take a fight and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle".

But the beginning also said that the new energy track has been fighting for blood, and what does Dongfeng (Lantu), who is halfway through the battle, use to match the old drivers who have fought dozens of rounds?

Although Dongfeng’s layout in the new energy field is very early, in 2001, Dongfeng Electric Vehicle Company was established, and now it has 19 years of experience in electric vehicle research and development. In addition, in recent years, Dongfeng has also launched several 100 thousand yuan pure electric vehicles, and its Dongfeng well-off electric vehicles are not uncommon.

The problem is that the technical reserves used for low-end models over the years, do you think it is enough to support 20-350,000 high-end cars? Obviously, it is insignificant. We don’t know what good goods are pressed in the bottom of the Dongfeng box.

DONGFENG MOTOR CORPORATION Standing Committee Member, Vice President

Second, although there are increments in the 20-350,000 range, these increments do not belong to independent brands. Take the new energy vehicles in the 20-350,000 range targeted by Landscape as an example, in fact, many independent brands have already tasted the pain.

For example, GAC New Energy’s Aion LX and SAIC’s Marvel X, they all shoulder the brand’s high expectations, and the price is infinitely close to the 20-350,000 range, but the results are obvious to all, Aion LX monthly average of hundreds of units is already good, Marvel X some months even only single-digit sales.

After years of hard work in the field of new energy, it is considered a small achievement of GAC New Energy. The current main sales models are still about 15-170,000 Aion S and Aion V. It is difficult for independent brands to rise! It is even more difficult to rely on pure electric vehicles to rise!

It was no wonder that Lantu’s high-end approach would be questioned by the industry. Dongfeng Automobile, which was still a traditional OEM, had failed to accumulate enough users and word-of-mouth in the field of new energy vehicles on the basis of several existing passenger car brands.

Of course, everyone understood the truth. Just as Zhu Yanfeng, the chairperson of Dongfeng Group, said, "You have to run at the beginning, and you have to sprint at the beginning." Lan Tu had to keep up with the rhythm quickly, otherwise it would become the next Byton and end in tragedy.

It is reported that Dongfeng has formulated a 10-year product plan for the Lantu brand and will launch 9 models. The first SUV product will use the pure electric vehicle S platform led by Dongfeng’s technology center. The new product will be a B-class SUV model, which will be launched in 2021, targeting BBA mid-sized luxury SUV products.

Landmap will sell in a new channel built by itself in the future. Dongfeng Renault’s factory in Wuhan will be upgraded and used for the production of new models, and the annual production capacity is planned to be 150,000 vehicles. (Indirectly solve the problem of employee employment in the Renault factory)

In addition, we can also ask, can Nissan Motor, a joint venture partner of Dongfeng Motor, help to pull a hand? Recently, Nissan has officially launched pure electric vehicles, and the new Ariya will inevitably enter the Chinese market in the future. Is it possible to carry Nissan’s electric vehicle platform or provide some key technologies?

After all, with Nissan’s help, the gap between Landscape and the first batch of players could be quickly narrowed. Of course, this was just speculation, and Nissan might not be so generous.

Nissan Ariya

In general, you can say that the birth of the Landscape was an initiative, or it can be said that it was forced out by the market. As far as the current situation is concerned, what do you think of Dongfeng Motor’s "Landscape" drawing?

The progress of domestic cars in recent years is visible to the naked eye. With the development of car manufacturing technology, the quality has also come up. The development of intelligent technology has made rapid progress, and it has also obtained a higher voice over in the new competitive track. The configuration materials are more willing to pay, but the pricing is more realistic. Therefore, if you pursue high cost performance, there is no reason not to choose domestic cars.

For young people, the pursuit of cost-effective car at the same time, but also the pursuit of fashion and sports personality, so the starting price of less than 100,000 Changan Auchan X5 PLUS and Geely Colorful COOL become their popular choice. As for who is more worth buying options, we look for answers from the comparison.

But before the comparison, there is a key information that must be mentioned. At present, Auchan X5 PLUS provides large-amount factory discounts with cash down to 11,000 yuan, that is to say, it only needs 80,900 to start, which is undoubtedly very sincere for a sports SUV with strong comprehensive strength. Colorful COOL currently only provides car purchase policies such as 7,000 yuan discount, which is not as strong as the direct cash discount of Auchan X5 PLUS. So from the perspective of the entry threshold, Auchan X5 PLUS is already the next city.

Power chassis comparison: Auchan X5P LUS is more forcibly updated and stable

Auchan X5 PLUS and Colorful COOL are both the positioning of sports SUVs, and the main groups they face are young people. But what is sports and what is the dish of young people should not just look at appearance, but also look at strength.

Auchan X5 PLUS is equipped with Blue Whale’s new generation NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine + Blue Whale 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission combination. Colorful COOL is only equipped with 1.5TD engine + 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission combination on high-end models. Under the support of greater power and torque, the zero-hundred acceleration of Auchan X5 PLUS is only 7.51 seconds, which is nearly 1 second faster than the high-end models of Colorful COOL, and the power gap can be seen.

In all stages of acceleration, the starting response of the Auchan X5 PLUS is only 360ms, the 0-60kM/h acceleration is only 3.8s, and the 80-120kM/h acceleration is only 5.6s. These results are even better than those of the A-class cars that are the main sports, making the starting, low-speed acceleration, and high-speed acceleration a step faster.

While the power is significantly stronger, the fuel consumption level of the Auchan X5 PLUS is similar to that of Colorado COOL, and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is only 6.25L/100km, which is truly fast and fuel-efficient.

Of course, excellent sports performance comes not only from power, but also from chassis and steering. The Auchan X5 PLUS comes standard with front McPherson/rear multi-link independent suspension, and has undergone targeted adjustment and rigorous road conditions testing, so it has better handling performance and driving quality. The Colorado COOL uses a lower-cost rear torque beam non-independent suspension, which is inherently inferior in handling and comfort. In addition, the Auchan X5 PLUS also uses a three-stage adjustable ESP, which can choose different steering modes according to different driving needs.

In terms of actual driving experience, the Auchan X5 PLUS not only has stronger power output and faster acceleration than the Colorado COOL, but also has less roll in corners and emergency line changes, more accurate directivity, and can enter and exit corners at a faster speed. In the face of road impact, the advantages of four-wheel independent suspension more fully suppress vibration and bounce. In the medium and high-speed area, the chassis feedback of the Auchan X5 PLUS is more textured, and the suppression of wind noise and fetal noise is significantly better. In addition, the brake response of the Auchan X5 PLUS is also more sensitive, with a shorter stroke, which is more in line with the characteristics of sports models.

Space size comparison: the two cars are not at the same level

Young people buying a car not only meet their personal driving and travel needs, but also inevitably have to deal with necessary household and social needs. After all, accompanying family members out, gathering with friends or traveling are all common car scenarios for young people. Therefore, a larger SUV is necessarily a better choice.

Compared with the body size of the Auchan X5 PLUS and the Colorado COOL, the advantage of the former is undoubtedly huge. It can also be seen from the body size that the Auchan X5 PLUS belongs to a compact SUV, while the Colorado COOL belongs to a small SUV, and the two are completely different. Therefore, the riding space of the Auchan X5 PLUS is much more generous, especially the rear space is more stretched than the Colorado COOL, and the luggage compartment space and storage space also show higher practicality.

Although both cars use the design of sports seats, the Auchan X5 PLUS presents a better sense of quality in the materials and craftsmanship of the cockpit. And the unique 30-inch wrapping smart triple screen of the same class forms a more technological atmosphere for the driver. It brings a silky operation experience through the delay-free three-screen interactive interface switching. For example, when encountering a corner to trigger the panorama, the navigation will automatically project the screen to the instrument screen, which is more intuitive and safe; the linkage of cockpit lights, sound effects, seats, etc., can also make the car change into a KTV, gym, game hall in seconds. In addition, because the Auchan X5 PLUS has improved NVH performance at 115 places in the whole car, the silent feeling in the car is far beyond what we expect from 80,000-class SUVs.

With more space, a higher-quality interior atmosphere, and four-wheel independent suspension, the Auchan X5 PLUS can undoubtedly provide a more comfortable driving experience. In contrast, Colorful COOL pays more attention to individuality, while ignoring comfort and practicality to a certain extent, and there are fewer applicable car scenarios.

Differential configuration comparison: both parties have their own advantages

In order to fully reflect the respective configuration advantages of the two cars, we selected the top model for comparison. The two models are Auchan X5 PLUS 1.5T Smart Fun AI Edition and Colorful COOL 1.5TD DCT Battle Edition.

The advantage of Colorful COOL’s differential configuration lies in intelligent driving assistance. Compared with the Auchan X5 PLUS, it has more intelligent driving functions such as parallel line assistance and lane keeping, and the matrix headlights can automatically adjust the far and near light. However, from the perspective of daily driving, many intelligent driving functions are actually not used frequently, and since the Auchan X5 PLUS is also equipped with common intelligent driving functions such as ACC adaptive cruise and 540-degree panoramic images, the difference in car experience is not big.

It is worth mentioning that both vehicles can achieve intelligent parking, intelligent tracking and reversing, and remote parking, but the EaglePilot full-voice automatic parking system equipped with the Auchan X5 PLUS is more intelligent, capable of voice control in addition to key remote control and mobile phone remote control.

The difference in configuration advantage of the Auchan X5 PLUS is in terms of intelligent interaction. It is equipped with the OnStyle 5.1 smart happy cockpit, which has a higher level of intelligent performance. One of the more obvious advantages is that the Auchan X5 PLUS can not only realize intelligent voice control in the car, but also realize full-scene intelligent voice outside the car. For example, saying "X5 drive the car out" outside the car can automatically park out of a narrow parking space, which greatly increases the convenience of using the car.

And through the FaceID 3.0 car internal and external facial recognition system, you can unlock the vehicle by brushing your face outside the car. Through facial recognition, gesture recognition, intelligent voice and other technologies, we have also created a variety of personality scenes such as Mai-free KTV, Auchan Fitness, Auchan Travel, one-click rest for main and co-pilot, and track mode, allowing users to feel more intelligent fun in the car.

In comparison, the intelligent interaction functions of Colorful COOL are more conventional. In-car intelligent voice, three-finger flying screen, audio-visual entertainment, and mobile phone remote control are basically all, and these functions can also be fully realized on the Auchan X5 PLUS.

In terms of comfort configuration, the two cars are not much different, both belong to the superior level of SUVs at the same price, with panoramic sunroof, keyless entry/start, wireless charging of mobile phones, induction wipers, automatic air conditioning, etc. The subtle difference is that the Auchan X5 PLUS has Sony stereo, hot and cold temperature control armrest box, external rearview mirror memory/reversing automatic down-turn, induction trunk, etc., providing a more comprehensive comfort experience, while the Colorful COOL is slightly superior in seat functionality because it is equipped with front seat heating.

Overall, the configuration of both cars is very high, but from the perspective of vehicle usage and value, the Auchan X5 PLUS is still better. Especially in terms of intelligent interaction, the leading intelligent technology of the Auchan X5 PLUS brings more convenience and fun to use the car, showing a higher sense of value in the context of the technology era.

Write at the end:

Auchan X5 PLUS and Colorado COOL have a lot of overlap in price, and both focus on sports and intelligence, thus forming a direct competitive relationship. But in contrast, it is not difficult to find that the Auchan X5 PLUS power chassis performs better and is a more sporty side; the intelligent interaction experience is also more advanced and is a smarter side. In more dimensions, Auchan X5 PLUS has a huge advantage in space size and a more comprehensive configuration, which can well balance comfort and practicality. So on the whole, Auchan X5 PLUS’s product strength is obviously stronger. Coupled with the large cash discounts currently launched by manufacturers, the cost performance is much higher than Colorado COOL, which is obviously a more worthwhile option.

"Xinzhou-made" rocket

Rockets are used as pens, and the sky is used as paper. In 95 days, the Wuhan "Xinzhou" rocket drew a beautiful arc in space four times in a row.

At 6:55 on September 25, 2022, the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center successfully launched the Experimental No. 14 and Experimental No. 15 satellites into the air using the Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket, "One Arrow Double Star", and the satellites entered the predetermined orbit smoothly. The Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket carrying out the launch mission is the "Xinzhou-made" rocket located in Xinzhou Wuhan National Aerospace Industry Base (China Xinggu). This is the 18th flight of the Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket and the fourth launch mission of this type of rocket in 2022.

Jiuquan on June 22, Xichang on August 23, Jiuquan on September 6, and Taiyuan on September 25. In just 95 days, the "Xinzhou-made" Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket successfully carried out 4 launch missions in 3 places, achieving a "95-day four-game winning streak".

"After the’four consecutive launches’, there are still many rockets ready to be launched in the rocket industry park, and they are expected to be launched before the end of the year," said the head of the work special class of Wuhan National Aerospace Industry Base in Xinzhou District (hereinafter referred to as the "aerospace special class").

It is reported that since the Wuhan National Aerospace Industry Base was officially built in Xinzhou in 2017, China Xinggu has started the "aerospace speed" to the "third pole of China’s aerospace" on the new track of commercial aerospace. In January 2020, the Rocket Industrial Park was built into the first modern industrial park in China with an annual output of 20 rockets for final assembly and testing.

On May 13, 2021, Wuhan National Aerospace Industry Base Satellite Industrial Park opened, our country’s first small satellite intelligent production line was unveiled, and the first "Wuhan-made" satellite was officially launched. It is understood that the satellite industrial park has the ability to produce 240 small satellites per year. "This marks the arrival of the era of mass production of satellites in our country. The dream of’intelligently building ‘satellites like cars has come to life." The person in charge of the aerospace special class introduced.

The construction of another main industrial park in Xinggu, the electromagnetic protective materials industrial park, has also pressed the "shortcut". Last year, the partial assembly line was put into trial operation; this year, the final assembly line was officially put into operation. The electromagnetic protective materials produced in this industrial park can ensure that rockets are not disturbed by external electromagnetic signals during launch and satellites in space, and put on "protective covers" for rockets and satellites traveling in space.

Not long ago, the Xingyun project, a space-based Internet of Things constellation in our country led by Aerospace Science and Industry Space Engineering Company (the operator of the Satellite Industrial Park), is currently progressing smoothly and is expected to achieve small-scale networking in the near future. It is understood that after the Xingyun project realizes small-scale networking, the system will begin to promote the application of more than 10 key industries including containers, oceans, land disasters, meteorology, environmental protection, electric power, agriculture, emergency response, logistics, water conservancy, etc., to realize the leap from "trial" to "practical" of the Xingyun satellite system. In the future, Xingyun Project will complete a space-based Internet of Things constellation composed of more than 100 low-orbit communications satellites to realize the interconnection of everything on a global scale.

China Xinggu is building an "aerospace ecosystem" around the commercial aerospace sector. At present, China Xinggu is stepping up the construction of "four gardens and one center", namely to build an aerospace new material industrial park, a green ship manufacturing industrial park, an aerospace electronics industrial park, an aerospace information industrial park and an aerospace big data science and technology innovation center.

"The construction of’Four Parks and One Center ‘will further improve China’s Xinggu’aerospace ecosystem’ and promote China’s Xinggu to accelerate its station at the third pole of China’s aerospace." The person in charge of the aerospace special class said. (Text/Cheng Shuxiong, Liu Hui, Photo/Wu Yi, Ye Donghui, Tang Shi)
