Chapter 109 T-1 Alloys

But look carefully.

This white robot is somewhat different from the robot controlled by Ling.

Its body seems to be slimmer, if you have to compare it, it looks like the robot in the movie "I, Robot".

The robot controlled by Ling is modeled after the appearance in "I, Robot".

And the one in front of me seems to have been further optimized.

Of course, Lu Chen knew that the difficulty of bionic robots was not in the appearance, but in controlling the core and energy.

The intelligent core and the matching artificial intelligence algorithm are the control core of this bionic robot. As for the energy source.
"This robot not only uses our newly developed intelligent core, but also is equipped with the newly developed lithium-sulfur battery and brand-new alloy materials."

After R-101 finished speaking, he looked at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen knew that since the other party specifically mentioned these three things, it is obvious that these three items are the core parts of this bionic robot.

He also understands smart cores and lithium-sulfur batteries.

When Qin Ruolan and him went to the battery laboratory last time, Lu Xing said that the latest lithium-sulfur battery was only the last step.

It seems that after such a long time, the lithium-sulfur battery, which has an energy density of two-thirds that of fuel, has finally achieved a technological breakthrough.

To be honest, this efficiency is definitely unimaginable to the outside world.

But for the R-type clone team, it can only be regarded as average.

After all, they are all new human beings who have been genetically enhanced in terms of intelligence.

It took so long to make a breakthrough, in Lu Chen's opinion, it was considered slow.

but
"What kind of alloy material are you talking about?"

Lu Chen was puzzled.

Hearing this, R-101 beckoned, and the white robot in front of him walked over vigorously, without the sluggishness of external bionic robots at all.

"This is it."

R-101 patted the arm of the white robot lightly, pointed to the silver-white armor on the outside of the arm, and said, "This is a new type of aluminum alloy."

"Aluminum alloy?"

Lu Chen was a little surprised. In his impression, the characteristic of aluminum alloy is that it is soft, and it will break if you gently clamp it with pliers.

As if aware of Lu Chen's concerns, R-101 smiled and said, "Its performance is completely different from that of ordinary aluminum alloys. According to our tests, the strength, hardness and toughness of this aluminum alloy are comparable to those of the current third-generation tank armor. More than ten times that of steel."

Hearing this, Lu Chen looked at the silver-white alloy in front of him with surprised eyes.

To be honest, there are metals stronger than tank armor, such as tungsten alloy and titanium alloy.

But why not use it for tank armor, the main reason is that it is expensive!
It should be known that the production conditions of titanium alloy are harsh, and it must be produced with ultra-high technology in a low temperature environment.

As a result, the cost has soared and can only be used on more expensive fighters and missiles.

As for tungsten alloys, only 180 million tons of dock mines have been proven in the world, are they used as armor materials?Think too much.

This thing is basically used to make the cutter head of the machine tool.

After speaking, R-101 asked the robot he named No. [-] to walk in front of a hydraulic press, and let it put its alloy arm on the hydraulic table.

"The arm of No. 100 can withstand a maximum pressure of [-] tons."

After finishing speaking, the hydraulic press used for testing started slowly, and the pressure value continued to rise until it reached [-] tons.

After staying for 1 minute, the hydraulic press was slowly released.

Lu Chen stepped forward and carefully inspected the arm of No. [-] robot, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"This aluminum alloy material is not only high in strength, but also low in density. Under the same volume, its mass is only three-quarters of that of steel. The No. [-] robot made of this aluminum alloy has a total weight of only [-] kilograms."

R-101 introduced.

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't be too satisfied with this new type of aluminum alloy, but being satisfied doesn't mean it can be used on a large scale.

Because for any product, the ultimate value is not its advanced level, but its cost performance.

That is the cost of this aluminum alloy.

If its cost is as expensive as titanium alloy, the meaning will be greatly reduced.

Hearing this, R-101 expressed a little satisfaction: "The laboratory cost of this new type of aluminum alloy is about 9000 US dollars per ton."

The cost of a ton is less than [-]?
Or lab costs.

If it is produced on a large scale, the cost can be reduced by at least ten times or even a hundred times.

Lu Chen naturally understood this truth.

It is even cheaper than civilian aluminum alloys.

"Have you named this metal?"

"not yet."

R-101 shook his head.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then decided: "Why don't we call it T-1 type alloy."

Saying that, he looked at robot No. 1 again, "This robot is called the T-[-] robot."

When it comes to robots, Lu Chen's interest is completely aroused at the moment.

You know, this is the first product developed by the Academy of Civilization Sciences since its establishment.

At the beginning, what Lu Chen asked was to study artificial intelligence, but he didn't expect them to directly produce bionic robots.

Strictly speaking, bionic robots are just one type of robot.

In fact, all the machinery and equipment in our lives can be called robots.

It's just that these robots need human control.

For example, an excavator is a robot that requires manual manipulation.

If the excavator can work by itself without manual operation, it can be called an intelligent robot.

It's just that it doesn't look like a human being.

From this point of view, the arc car is a rudimentary robot.

So the slogan of Arclight Automobile Company, let the car be called a driving robot, is not empty talk.

Closer to home.

Seeing that Lu Chen was very interested, R-101 officially introduced the No. 1 robot, which is the T-[-] robot named by Lu Chen.

"Boss, you should know that the control methods of bionic robots are completely different from ours."

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded.

He had heard Ling explain this to him long ago.

The driving of the robot is a process of collecting information, processing information, and feedback driving.

Humans are different. Many human activities are driven by muscle memory, nerves, and brains.

For example, when humans walk normally, the brain is hardly involved in the control.

When people walk, they don't think about how to lift their legs, how to set their feet, how to move forward, they usually just lift their legs and walk.

In this process, muscle control dominates, which is often referred to as muscle memory.

"The T-1 robot is different."

R-101 introduced, "With an intelligent core, all its actions are no longer driven by collecting information and then giving feedback, but are driven by a large amount of collected information and prediction."

"Prediction?"

Lu Chen noticed the word.

"Correct."

R-101 nodded, "The T-1 robot has far more information collection channels than us humans. Its eyes can not only see images, but also have infrared sensing functions. Of course, these are nothing, it is the most important thing. The detection method is the microwave detector in the intelligent core."
