校園"飲水機娘"微博賣萌 網絡走紅

A micro blog account on a water fountain has attracted more than 30,000 followers within 48 hours of its birth on Sina Weibo, becoming latest cyber buzz on the Internet.

一臺飲水機的新浪微博賬號在開通48小時內就吸引來3萬粉絲，進而成爲最新網絡熱點。

The micro blog, "Water Fountain in CCNT lab in Zhejiang University", launched by a PHD student in Computer Science at the University, automatically updates the status quo of a water fountain in the computer lab. When the water boils it uses flirty and endearing Internet slang common among Chinese netizens.

這個名爲“浙大CCNT實驗室飲水機”的微博是由浙大計算機科學專業的一名博士生開通的。該微博自己更新發布計算機實驗室中一臺飲水機的狀態。一旦水燒開了，它就會發出國內網友普遍使用的賣萌網絡用語。

Its first message was delivered at one Thursday afternoon, saying "I have observed the celestial phenomena, which tells that the water is boiling." After repeating the line seven times in the two hours after, it took a sexy tone, yelling out, "Master, I'm hot, come and drink me soon."

在一個週四下午，“飲水機娘”發了第一條微博：“以我夜觀天象所見，這水大約的確是開了罷。”在之後的兩小時內，這句話被重複了七次，接下來，她很嗲地說了句：“主人，我已經沸騰了，快來喝吧”

The secret of its intelligence lies on an automatic inducing system, said Chen Longbiao, the designer and moderator of the micro blog account.

“飲水機娘”微博的設計者兼管理員陳龍彪表示，該智能飲水機的背後奧祕是一個自動傳感系統。

Chen has set up the system by attaching a camera to the water fountain. This camera monitors the indicator light on the fountain which reads red for boiling water and green for empty. The information is then sent from the camera to a program through a data cable connected to a nearby laptop, which will receive message delivering orders.

爲建造該系統，陳龍彪在飲水機上裝了一個攝像頭。該攝像頭的鏡頭可以監控飲水機的指示燈，紅色代表水開了，綠色說明開水被用光了。這些信息會通過數據線從攝像頭傳輸到附近的記本電腦中的程序上，這樣一來該程序就接收到發送信息的指令。

He also said that he decided to invent the system, on which he spent 15 hours and 200 yuan ($32) after noticing his classmates' constant trips to the water fountain to check if the hot water was available.

陳龍彪發現同學們經常跑去看飲水機的水有沒有燒開，於是他便開始構想發明這個系統。他一共只花了15個小時的時間，資金成本也就兩百塊錢。

"The intelligent push technology, which in our case is the hot water availability, is the trend for future Internet technology. It makes our life more convenient. "

“智慧推動了科技，在我們這個案例中，便是熱水提示功能，這將是未來網絡科技的發展趨勢，會讓我們生活變得更加便捷。”

The genius did not expect his micro blog to become the first trend at the first place and attributes this to the its language style.

這位發明天才並未料到微博會成爲這一全新領域的弄潮兒，他將此歸功於該微博的語言風格。

"I guess it is because it has a cute air so many people get interested and are willing to forward the messages," he said with a smile.

他笑着說：“我猜是因爲她太萌了所以才吸引來這麼多人轉發微博的。”

As the followers and praises keep rushing in, Chen believes there is room for bigger success.

隨着粉絲和讚揚之聲接踵而來，陳龍彪堅信還有更大的成功機會。

"For now the camera can only detect hot water. It cannot tell if the cold water is out. I plan to work that out by setting a pressure test system or another camera at the joint, and then the micro blog will be able to remind people to renew the water."

“現在，攝像頭只能來監測熱水，不能告訴大家桶內的冷水是否被用光，我想在水桶接口處出安裝一個壓力探測系統，或者再裝一個攝像頭，這樣一來，微博也能提醒大傢什麼時候該換水了。”
