I am reborn as Sai, but the animation three-body

Chapter 46 Advances in No Working Fluid Engines

"This project has only just started, so naturally there can be no technical breakthroughs, so what kind of technical progress do you need?"

"Large-scale software that can make the entire city fully connected and process these cumbersome information. Similar to the city's central network system, and cheap and mass-proliferated sensors and robots." Say suggested.

"The large-scale software of the city's central network system is not difficult. Many countries have relevant experience. This is just an upgraded version of the large-scale monitoring system."

"However, considering that a city has hundreds of millions of sensors, cloud computing centers and various facilities, its scale will be extremely large, and more complex software may need to be set up to ensure stability."

"As for robots, they can currently do some relatively simple manual labor, such as street cleaning, car driving assistance, ore mining, and highly repetitive tasks such as cargo transportation."

"Unfortunately, because theoretical physics is locked by the Trisolarans, the development of computers will inevitably be limited, and higher-level artificial intelligence is unlikely to appear."

"In the foreseeable future, artificial intelligence can only do the simplest work, and it is unlikely to replace more occupations."

Many experts still regret this, because of the limitations of artificial intelligence, many high-risk jobs are destined to be done by humans themselves.

This actually just happened to set off the technological gap between the two sides. The Trisolarans completely destroyed the future of the entire human civilization by relying on only a few elementary particles smaller than atoms.

But the people in this room don't want to surround themselves with defeatist emotions, so they quickly expel this terrible thought from their minds.

"What about the cost?"

"It depends on the variety you want. At present, we have a networked large-scale sweeping robot, and its computing tasks will be completed in the nearest computing center. In other words, it is controlled by the city's central network system."

"The efficiency of this sweeping robot is equivalent to 10-12 cleaners. It can clean up most of the recyclable and non-recyclable garbage. It is part of the smart city environmental sanitation system. The price of one is about 5000 US dollars."

"This price is still too expensive, after all, considering that the robot needs to be repaired and recharged, not to mention that it is only the cheapest." Sai denied.

"Then what are your expectations?"

"I ask to reduce the cost of sensors and robots to one-tenth of the current cost. Is this technically possible?" Say asked after listening to the expert's explanation.

"It's not possible now, but with further scale-up of production and the development of automation technology, it is very possible in the future, because this does not involve the limitations of theoretical physics."

"That's fine. I'll give you a few decades. It won't be settled. The cost must be kept down, because the nine members of the council hope that the cost will not be too high."

"Of course not. After the industrial chain is rolled out, the cost will gradually decrease, and there will still be breakthroughs in application technology." The expert said confidently.

.........

After the meeting, Say suddenly found that he seemed to have nothing to do now.

Whether it is a large-scale infrastructure project, or the research on artificial intelligence and cheap electronic equipment, it takes time, and now her resource consumption has reached the upper limit again.

If you put forward any constructive suggestions yourself, it is estimated that the nine members of the council will definitely not agree.

Although Say controls the entire PDC, his subordinates and supporters also use the non-propellant engine and the fourth agricultural revolution.Infiltrated into the interior of each country, allowing her to wield unimaginable power.

But this doesn't mean that she has enough strength alone to carry out a plan of this scale.

In fact, even if it is the nine member countries themselves, if only any one of them is relied on, these huge plans cannot be achieved.

The nine council members add up to not only represent themselves, but also represent the entire human world, and only human civilization as a whole can do this.

So she has nothing to do when she is awake, and she is not the type of respondent Luo Ji who has no ambitions and wants to spend her life casually, and the respondent human beings have to rely on her to fight against the Trisolarans.

It seems that it is time to prepare to continue hibernating with Hines and Rey Diaz, and there may be a breakthrough after waking up.

Of course, before that, the non-propellant engine has to be dealt with. Kanter mentioned to her that there were breakthroughs in both plans, and she also confirmed that she still needs to take a look at the non-propellant engine.

"Then deal with the matter of the non-propellant engine, and then we can prepare for hibernation." Thinking of this, Sai called Kanter in.

"Last year, PIA made a breakthrough in the structural technology of the non-propellant engine, which overcame the problem of radiation propulsion. Now the relevant concepts have been relatively perfect, and there is no problem in theory."

"At the same time, the first generation of radiation-driven spacecraft is being tested outside the earth, and the nine council members have set up a number of related test projects." Kanter said.

"Why haven't I seen related news?" Sai asked. Although she often heard about radiation-driven spaceships after waking up, those were all PDC's internal intelligence, and the media did not continue to follow up on this project.

"Because the current failure rate is too high, and because of the immature technology of the non-propellant engine, the nuclear fusion magnetic confinement equipment often overheats, which leads to nuclear star explosions."

"Although these nuclear star explosions have no impact on the earth, if the comprehensive follow-up does not have a good impact on the public, it will make everyone lose confidence in the non-propellant engine." Kanter explained.

"That's right, what about the three major fleets and the space strategy department, have they expressed their opinion on the research on the non-propellant engine?"

"In the past few years, the old aerospace has never stopped, always insulting your plan in front of the public, several times the three major fleets forcibly promoted large-scale experiments, and helped the PDC attract the attacking firepower of this group of people."

"Okay, then carefully check these old spaceflights to see if ETO spies have sneaked in, otherwise how could they have attacked the PDC and the three major fleets?" Sai ordered.

Although it is not surprising that the respondent did such a thing, it is difficult to guarantee that ETO will take the opportunity to make trouble. After all, their influence is so great that it is entirely possible to affect the aerospace industry.

"By the way, Zhang Beihai, your staff officer, previously wanted to report to you about the progress of the work, but you were busy with the big infrastructure project, so I didn't inform you about it." Kanter said.

"Okay, then you can ask him to come here to report on the mission. I can't leave the PDC headquarters in order to prevent the ETO from being assassinated."

"Okay." Kanter nodded, and then left.

　The three-body defense is really powerful. Luo Ji took the "space train" to the space station to play, and Taylor broke the wall in front of a group of people, but it was okay.
