Chapter 784: The Art Girl's Strategy
"Unbelievable! Is this really a song you wrote?!"
Ali looked at Li Ke in front of him in disbelief. Although the song sung by the guy who claimed to be a musician did not have that kind of soul, there was no doubt that both the melody and the lyrics were the best.
After just listening to them once, she was able to confirm that these two songs would be huge hits!
There is just one problem.
The atmosphere and melody of these two songs, as well as the voices required, are not her voice, but more like songs sung by men.
Although it is politically incorrect to divide music into male and female categories, this is the fact. Some songs just don't sound good when men sing the same melody, and some melodies are simply garbage when women sing them.
The timbre of musical instruments sometimes has an optimal solution, not to mention the huge difference in sound between men and women.
"These two songs are more suitable for men to sing, right?"
She asked with some trepidation.
"Ah, maybe."
Li Ke didn't really care. The reason why classics are classics is that they can withstand interpretation. Although they don't have the flavor of the original singer, there is no doubt that as long as the other singer has enough singing skills, they can sing it very well.
Professional singers are different. It’s not something that anyone can do casually.
Ali was very dissatisfied with Li Ke's indifferent attitude. She felt that a person who could write such a work must be someone who loves music very much, and definitely not a guy who would get fat because of drinking too much milk tea.
It is a pity and a loss that I have to perform these two songs myself. The former is more suitable for Ike's voice, but I have to wait until the rock boy grows up.
The latter is very suitable for Yasuo, but Yasuo's singing skills and accent are obviously not up to the task. After all, the latter sounds like a Chinese-style song, so it would be better to find a Chinese singer.
but……
Ali thought for a long time but couldn't think of a new generation of capable Chinese singer. All he could think of were those who had already left their peak and were semi-retired.
However, singing by yourself is still not a good idea.
So, although he was reluctant, Ali still spoke.
"These two songs of yours should be able to easily create a stir in the music industry. Why don't you put them out there? Is there no channel you can trust?"
Ahri asked carefully.
"If you like it, just take it. After all, in the current Valoran world, even if I submit this kind of song, how many people can sing it perfectly?"
Li Ke pointed to the big screen outside. On it was a guy who had been in contact for three years but still couldn't sing, dance, or do anything. However, he was outstanding among his peers.
It's quite funny to say that this guy who was totally useless in Li Ke's eyes, has become the most capable new generation male star in terms of professional ability.
There is no way, the entertainment in this world is just not good. In fact, because of the invasion of , various companies have made a lot of money, and it has even declined.
"this……"
Ali looked at the billboard and nodded helplessly.
It was because of this that she gave up her life as a young lady and chose to become an idol.
Because she felt that in this new era, this era where despair and prosperity coexist, when people hope to be comforted, what they see is not these soulless music and dance.
But something more dynamic and more attractive.
"So, are you interested in joining me? I want to create a band, a band that plays music that is completely different from the current music. I need a lot of people, and I can..."
Li Ke casually threw the Coke can aside.
"No, although I like music, I am still a scientific researcher, Ms. Ali. I actually make robots."
Ali was completely stunned when she heard that. She looked at Li Ke in astonishment, sizing up the strong-looking Li Ke in disbelief. She couldn't believe that someone who was not young enough to write such a song was actually a scientific researcher.
It doesn’t mean that boys majoring in science and engineering cannot write good music. In fact, people with strong logical thinking skills can easily do anything best.
It's just that they see the world and things differently.
But Li Ke didn't say anything else. He just smiled at Ali and waved his hand, leaving Ali with only a chic back.
Ali stared blankly at Li Ke's elegant back in the sun, feeling filled with emotion for a moment.
but……
"It doesn't matter. This guy's address is right next to me. I can always find him."
Ali clenched her fists. She believed that as long as she had patience and showed enough sincerity, she would be able to impress Li Ke.
"But what if they are very talented researchers?"
She looked at Li Ke's back and became a little nervous.
If Li Ke is a very good researcher, then music is not the most important thing for him. The most important thing is to study things related to mecha.
She still understands the right and wrong of this point and never thinks about other things.
So she is very conflicted now. She hopes that Li Ke is a great scientific researcher, but she also hopes that Li Ke is not a great scientific researcher, which makes her very conflicted.
But just as he threw away the can and went to a barbecue restaurant he often ate at, he saw the owner of the barbecue restaurant, a short guy, staring at TV in a daze.
"...The new prototype has begun construction, but Heimerdinger, the chief technician, has been unable to determine whether the beast-shaped or insect-shaped combat mecha has better combat capabilities... In addition, the hyperspace carrier Tyrannosaurus has been officially commissioned and is about to go to the Pacific to perform a mission, accompanied by countless Sion mechas. I believe that in the near future, we will be able to thoroughly explore the origins of these monsters..."
The woman in the news talked freely, while the barbecue restaurant owner named Rambo looked unhappy.
"These bastards, I told them that AI cannot be trusted..."
Rambo slammed his small fist on the table, his expression quite dissatisfied.
Li Ke was no longer surprised by this. Rambo had always been pessimistic about automatic AI, so after learning that almost all mecha weapons were determined to be hindered by human control after the war, and that they had decided to use AI in all aspects and no longer install cockpits, he left angrily.
This is a question of technical direction.
Rambo's distrust of automatic AI has reached the point where he plans to control the mecha entirely with mechanical transmission. That is to say, except for some necessary programs, everything else is like a bicycle. No matter where you go or what you do, you need to control it with your own hands and feet.
Rather than being a combat weapon, it is more like combat armor.
In the eyes of other scientists who believe in AI, this control system is not only extremely difficult to operate and difficult to train personnel, but also wastes a lot of space to install the cockpit and operating system, which reduces the performance of the mecha.
With a large number of monsters invading the world now, where is the time to train excellent pilots?
Rambo had nothing to say at the time. AI was indeed the most useful, so when Sion was created, although he did not contribute, he did not object.
However, when the Sion mecha began mass production and the monster tide was completely quelled, he found that these people chose to further trust AI because of the "cost".
So the bad-tempered scientist left in anger and even opened a chain of barbecue restaurants, using the technology that once controlled the temperature of rockets and military weapons to make barbecue.
This store is his first store.
Of course, the most important thing is——
He was Li Ke's former college mentor. It was because he chose to exile himself that no one cared about Li Ke.
"Hey, Li Ke, how come you have time to come to my place? Aren't you going to study those metals of yours?"
He looked at Li Ke with sidelong eyes, looking unhappy.
What he hated the most was this evil disciple, who had no awareness of being an anti-AI. The Gundam design he submitted was so perfect, but he turned around and went into the pit of materials science.
Although materials science is indeed very important, the problem is that the materials used to manufacture mechas have become extremely sophisticated. Li Ke is a genius in designing Gundams and weapons, but when it comes to materials science, that's all he can do.
"Ah, I'm out of funding, so I'm going out to get some."
Li Ke shook his head. He studied materials science in order to bring people from Valoran here, but now it seems that there is no need for that.
After hearing this, Rambo looked at Li Ke warily.
"Don't look at me. I don't even have enough of my own."
Although he has opened many chain stores and now has barbecue restaurants all over the world, he is also conducting secret research and his own funds are seriously insufficient.
It’s impossible to give it to Li Ke.
Unless Li Ke comes to work for him.
"In fact, I am planning to change my career and become a musician. I will sell the recipes I have, and then start my entire management company and make music from now on. I will pursue the dreams that young people should have, and find a suitable girlfriend by the way."
Li Ke spread his hands.
He has now given up on continuing his research. The reason he wants to get some more funding is that some of the things he discovered by chance are very interesting and he plans to study them for fun.
So I really didn't lie.
But when he heard this, Rambo was dumbfounded. Although he knew that the research done by his apprentice was very weird and not taken seriously, he had several tons of super-strong alloys and synthetic particles in his hands, but he threw them away and had no intention of making money at all. He himself felt that there was something wrong with Li Ke's brain.
However, he never thought that his favorite student would quit.
"You? Are you so confident about those AIs? What about the future of the Earth? What about the future of mankind?!"
Li Ke spread her hands.
"I'm only a teenager. If this earth needs someone like me to save it, then I might as well be done with it."
Rambo was stunned. He just remembered that his disciple was only in his teens and had never been in love before!
“Ah, this…”
He didn't know what to say for a moment, but Li Ke just patted him on the shoulder.
"So I decided to enjoy my youth, teacher. Besides, you'll be there for me even if the sky falls. But you're right. I don't feel comfortable handing over my skills to those people, so I came to you."
Li Ke said as he took out a USB flash drive.
He really didn't trust those people, especially the Sion mechas that were everywhere now. As for AI, which thing wouldn't have problems in any game or novel?
If some of the things he found while researching materials were released and those who were researching AI mechas got them and then combined them with the Sean mecha...
Once the Sean mecha rebels, it will not be a simple disaster.
But the end of the world.
"you're right……"
Rambo inserted the USB flash drive given by Li Ke into his computer, then quickly browsed through the directory edited by Li Ke, and nodded very seriously.
The dozens of alloys that Li Ke found perfectly surpassed all the alloys currently on the market. If used on mechas, it would be a crushing victory for an entire generation. It could directly use the advantages of materials science to crush the previous generation of mechas, especially the one called Sean, to the ground!
There is one thing, for example, if you want to bring out the full potential of this mecha, the requirements for people are very high.
The transformation and construction plans that Rambo thought of first required drivers that were not something that ordinary people could handle. At the very least, they had to be of astronaut quality and also required special training and instruction.
And if there is someone who can use these mechas quickly...
He couldn't help but look at Li Ke who was drinking Coke. He thought for a moment and then sighed.
If your students want to live a peaceful life, then let them live a peaceful life, and slowly train drivers and the like. After all, the AIs haven't had any problems yet, and when problems do occur, there will naturally be plenty of drivers available.
It's impossible that the crisis won't last for a month, right?
Rambo smiled.
Unless the Sean mecha rebels now and kills all the mechas sent over, and those deep-sea monsters launch a large-scale attack at the first opportunity, it will still take a month.
"Okay, then I'll give you a good price, but don't let me know you sold it to Heimerdinger, or I'll kick your ass."
Rambo staggered away from the computer, then rudely transferred 300 million from his own account to Li Ke.
"This is the patent royalties. I will keep an eye on the rest for you and register the patent for you in secret without making it public."
With his connections, this is something he can accomplish.
"Thank you very much, teacher."
Looking at Rambo's happy face, Li Ke smiled.
Three hundred million is enough for him to acquire and reorganize a music company. After that, he can live happily for a while, and then return to his own world and continue looking for a world where the people of Runeterra can exist.
"There shouldn't be any problems before I leave, right?"
Li Ke thought so as he watched Sean on TV.
