【推荐2】Do you like potato chips? Can you imagine someone putting off graduation just to make them? This is exactly what happened with Du Haotian, a student from Shanxi province. The potato chips Du is making are called guoba, usually made of millet rice (小米)，but here Du chose colored potatoes as the ingredients (原料).

Zhenba, in the south of Shanxi, has been trying to sell high-quality (质量) potatoes. But the sales are at a low level. To help solve this problem, Du, a student of Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, together with his team, introduced colorful potatoes and made them into crispy, fried potato snacks. After trying again and again, it gradually turned into a popular snack at Du’s university. At the end of last year, Du’s team set up their own factory in the village to plant and produce the snacks locally. At the beginning of this year, the production line was put into use.

However, while helping the local community, Du was under pressure to graduate. Although he was supposed to graduate in June 2020, Du offered to put off graduation for one year. Du said the production line project was still on the way and he wanted to live up to the expectations of the villagers. “A lot of my friends and teachers told me not to do that. But if the factory is built but does not run well, it would be against my original intention (初心).” Finally, Du’s teacher supported him.

Recently, Du’s potato snacks took part in a college food competition. His product was once in the first place with the support of many local villagers, which touched Du. “Rural revitalization (乡村振兴) depends on industrial revitalization. I want to make an effort with my hard work in this process.”

【推荐1】Everyone has probably seen a movie or two about robots going against man. As a kid it was interesting, but not a reality (现实). But today, when we look at how far scientists have come, it’s not just a funny thought but a real possibility.

Honda has already created a robot with eyes, legs, arms and hands and it can act just like a person. There is no end to what a robot could do in the future. Just think what we can do in twenty to thirty years. We’re dealing with almost completely new types of human-like robots that could be cleverer than us. Can we continue to use these robots in a way that they serve us, or will they become so wise that they will want independence (独立)?

I am really not sure just how far scientists are going to perfect robots. But once this type of robot is made, they will be able to think, make decisions, sense the movement of others and decide what it wants to do.

A new invention has led to the introduction of a female robot, which was introduced at an entertainment show in Vegas. The robot called Roxy sells for between seven and ten thousand dollars. It is built to accompany (陪伴) females. This female robot companion (伴侣) is called true companion and you can find such robots on the Internet. Robots used to have limited uses, but now they are almost in every field. This has opened the door to many dangerous possibilities in the future.

【推荐2】The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics were more than a sporting event. They were also a show for science and technology. They are helping athletes become “faster, higher, stronger” and offering you a great game-watching experience with the support of 5G. let’s look at some technologies behind the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

The faster ice: The National Speed Skating Oval is said to have “the faster ice”, as 12 new Olympic records and one world record were set there. The secret is new ice-making technology. Liquid carbon dioxide (液体二氧化碳) is put under the ice to keep temperature changes on the ice surface in half a degree. That keeps the ice a level surface and it is easier to skate on.

“Seeing” the wind: In events like freestyle skiing and ski jumping, the direction and speed of the wind can have great influence on an athlete’s performance. A Chinese research team developed a system to measure wind. The system uses AI technology. It allows athletes and coaches to “see” wind with real-time data (数据) on their pads.

High-speed camers: During the speed skating race, athletes can reach speeds of up to 18 meters per second. To catch every exciting moment of the competition, Lie Bao has been used for event.

Lie Bao is a 4K high-definition (高清) camera system developed by China Media Group(CMG). It can record speeds of up to 25 meters per second. It closely follows the athlete’s movements and catches different scenes during speed skating.
