After Becoming a Little |

"It's not a little strong." The old academician pointed to the mechanical joint that he took apart: "Did you see this thing?"

"Well, what's the problem?"

"It's simple and easy to understand. The person who invented this joint structure is an out-and-out genius." The old academician wiped his hands: "There are many kinds of robot joints today, and the matching schemes are also different, such as collaborative robotic arms or exoskeletons. Robots or bipeds and quadrupeds, but the main things are pretty much the same, drives, torque motors and encoders."

The old director looked over for a while, but couldn't see what was so great about it - after the whole joint was disassembled, except for a slightly weird mechanical structure of the twisted joint, there was only a winding coil inside the motor. .

What is this?

Baili next to her also stared at it for a while, not knowing why - is this really powerful?

"Robots with a high degree of freedom are currently a research shortcoming for all countries, so most traditional robots are developed in a crude way, relying on tracks or wheels to simply move forward and backward."

The old academician knocked on the desktop, and suddenly turned to another topic: "The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency DARPA over there established a National Robotics and Basic Elements Development Center three years ago. The main goal is to Want to develop artificial intelligence weapons that can identify targets and participate in battles independently, but limited by the development level of the robot itself, it can only be a mediocre design that suppresses some tactics, such as armed robot chariots. During combat, firepower is launched to attack the targets of the soldiers or the drone group by synchronously tracking the combat progress of the soldiers. The 15 combat units are divided into three clusters, and each drone combat cluster has about 5 four-axis drones. , in addition to being equipped with an AI tank with its own anti-tank grenade launcher."

"...It doesn't sound very reliable."

"They have been tested in the conflict zone in Syria and cooperated with special forces operations."

Bai Li has a bit of a say on this topic, she raised her hand and interjected: "There were field fighters in the conflict area before the Ninth Bureau who encountered this kind of opponent, but the opponent was very weak."

"Where is the weakness?" The old academician asked with great interest: "Firepower?"

"No, no, they have their own machine guns and grenade launchers. The firepower is not bad at all, and the main thing is flexibility."

"Is it the flexibility of the calculations and reactions of the robots themselves, or the flexibility of their actual combat operations?"

"Uh, of course it's the flexibility of actual combat operations." Bai Li scratched her face: "It feels like their calculations are quite fast, after all, computers."

"That's the problem." The old academician sighed: "Whether it's a humanoid robot or a powered exoskeleton, in terms of the current level of technology, they are actually not as advantageous as simple tracked and wheeled ones, but After all, the mechanical structure has shortcomings, and the biggest problem with the wheeled and tracked models is the output of the stand, which is not flexible enough.”

Bai Li thinks that the old academician is quite trendy, and he knows what it means to stand up and output.

You must know that when she heard this word before, her first reaction was plum blossom pile and two-word pliers sheep horse...

The old academician thought for a moment, waved to a silent person behind him, and took the suitcase he handed over.

There is not much in the suitcase, but there is a huge glasses case containing five pairs of AR glasses.

"Come on, put it on, and I'll show you something." The old academician signaled Baili and the old chief to put it on.

As a rare front-line combatant in the Republic today, the research and development of many high-tech military technologies must refer to the opinions of the latter, and there is no problem of concealment or leakage.

What's more, the secret level of the Ninth Bureau has always been very high, and the old bureau chief is a giant who can be ranked in the top ten in terms of personal secret level authority on the Republic side-even though there is an unknown existence in the files related to the Great Demon King that has a higher secret level than him. Still half high.

"Nuwa, are you there?" The old academician put on his glasses and asked, looking up at the monitoring equipment in the corner.

『Yes, Academician X, how can I serve you? 』

"To access the main server of the National Academy of Sciences, I need the data of the virtual laboratory with the project code name [Xing Tian] and the project code name [Taotie]."

"Okay, it is loading for you, please pay attention to the physical space restrictions, do not bump into the surrounding walls or tables and chairs. 』

After a while, Bai Li's eyes widened——

The logistics research base of the Ninth Bureau in the glasses changed its appearance, and the whole thing turned into a silver-gray tone, and the place where the eyes could see seemed to be the furnishings of another laboratory.

She tried to take off her glasses and found that the current world had changed again.

This is much better than the interactive reality they used in the meeting!

Bai Li looked at the scene in front of her in shock, and tried to reach for a part that was close at hand.

Then she found that she got it—although it was not a real part, but with her movements, the virtual model of that part was instantly constructed, and appeared in her own field of vision in a form similar to the holographic projection in the Iron Man movie Here, except for the fact that the material is not realistic, the other dimensions and structures are exactly the same.

"What kind of high technology is this?!"

"This is the virtual reality you brought back before." The old academician looked at it with a smile, like a child showing off his toys: "How about it, do you think it's very sci-fi?"

"Why is technology developing so fast?" Bai Li carefully turned over the part model in her hand, thought for a while, then clicked with the other hand, and learned to expand the operation without a teacher.

With her click, the parts are virtually disassembled, and there are even notes of various material data and detailed dimensions.

"Haha, don't underestimate the laziness and self-confidence of human beings. For convenience, we can do anything. This is a virtual laboratory created by using the sensors in AR virtual glasses, real-time modeling and cloud data. It's just that you Seeing my lab, not a real-time simulation of this logistics base right now—seriously."

The old academician opened a menu in front of him, and after swiping through it, he took out two joint mechanisms: "This mechanical structure is called Boston elbow. In the last century, a professor at MIT came up with such a design. The servo mechanism can be used to connect Brain and artificial limbs, compared to the rigid mechanical arms of that era, this Boston elbow has a more flexible structure, or a structure close to the word 'joint' in our understanding."

It was a not-so-flexible... elbow. After it was disassembled, there were various strange parts assembled together inside, but Baili understood one thing, that is, it was a flexible joint.

Compared with the rigid structure of traditional robotic arms, which can only turn up and down, but can only turn around, this thing looks more like a natural limb.

As he said that, he took out another mechanical joint structure: "And this one is the mechanical joint we developed before, and we call it Haowrist Type 1."

Compared with Boston Elbow, Hao Wrist Type 1 seems to be much more advanced. Baili clicked on the former's demonstration and found that this thing can actually be carved with a chisel and a hammer.

Oh... Is the robotic arm that can do carving very powerful?

"I will explain in the simplest way, if the joint flexibility of the human hand is 100 points, then the flexibility of the Boston elbow can be scored 50 points, then our Hao wrist type 1 can be scored 70 points, and this technology--"

The old academician picked up the joints of the mechanical war beast in front of him, and gestured to the exterior modeling that had just been completed: "A conservative estimate is 85 points or above."

"It's so powerful?"

"You should have seen what it can do." The old academician put down his mechanical arm: "Think about it, a big dog is running towards you, what would you think?"

"Eh... a kick away?"

"Then what if it is as flexible as a large dog, but weighs up to [-] kilograms, is covered with a thick metal armor shell, and is equipped with various firepower projection devices?"

"This kick doesn't move, dodge and fight back."

"Well, then the other party does not carry a firepower delivery device, but carries explosives that can kill people?"

"This—" Bai Li was stunned for a moment, and then her expression turned red with displeasure: "Isn't this bullying? How can a [-]-kilogram free-moving robot carry a [-]-kilogram explosive? Who can escape?"

"This is another small problem. Generally speaking, our current method of warfare is to focus on precision strikes, effectively destroying local facilities and the enemy's vital forces. However, no matter how high the accuracy of long-range firepower projection is, in the face of the current situation in conflict areas. That kind of street fighting and encounters seem to be a bit stretched. Drone bombs solve some of the pain points, but after all, humans have many ways to fight against such flying things in the sky. Even hiding is a good way. To put it bluntly, a drone bomb is just a small missile that can cruise and turn."

"If it's this kind of mechanical beast, then it can deal with the final threat of street fighting." Baili murmured to herself, and then shook her head in displeasure: "But robots are robots after all, not like humans." Flexibility - I mean flexibility in thinking, compared to biological weapons, they are much more flexible."

"This is a small problem. I can control it remotely. Although biological weapons are more suitable for street fighting, they are too expensive to manufacture and are far less affordable than remote-controlled robots."

"But, what if I throw EMP on the battlefield?"

"This is also a problem, and it is a very real problem." The old academician nodded: "Actually, at present, because humans control the main communication network and the combat initiative in the electromagnetic environment, although remote-controlled robots can have more advantages than self-disciplined robots. Better adaptability, but it is easy to lose combat effectiveness after communication is interrupted-then autonomous identification of friend and foe and subsequent combat options are a big trouble, but when you found this thing, was it controlled by remote control?"

"That's impossible! We monitor the entire communication environment, and there is absolutely no way that there is an encrypted channel that we haven't discovered!"

"So, in addition to the remote control, this mechanical war beast also has an excellent friend-or-foe identification system and instant battlefield analysis capabilities. These inconspicuous things are the result of the accumulation of technology... Today's battle robots are like Cambrian The darkness before the explosion of life in the epoch, once the dawn comes, and breakthroughs in materials and structural design are obtained... the future is terrifying."

The old director hadn't said a word, just watched, and now he asked, "Has Europa reached this point?"

"It's hard to say." The old academician pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and finally shook his head: "I personally prefer not to. Originally, this was jointly developed by the Holy Cross and the official defense organization in the Europa region. It was just the progress of the Europa defense organization. The understanding of these wrecks is far less advanced -- or finer than that of what we see now."

For the national level, the word "fine" is very luxurious. How extravagant is it?

If a product can buy 100% performance for [-] million yuan, but another product can buy [-]% performance for [-] million yuan, in terms of national-level large-scale procurement research and development, most of them will choose the latter-high-precision These words have never been related to equipment that can be developed and produced on a large scale. Even if it is [-]%, the issue of quantity must be considered.

If the Allied soldiers in World War II were given an option, whether to choose to sit in the Tiger or choose to sit in the Sherman or T34, then anyone with a brain would choose the former. Wittman directly opened the Wushuang in Bokage Village. , The advantage of the tiger-style close combat was brought into full play by him. The one-on-one T34 is like beating his son, and the four Shermans have to go around to win the fight——referring to the movie scene performed by Pete with a paralyzed face.

Of course, Maozi also has IS-2 and T54 with more black technology, but obviously these are not the key to victory, but the famous T34.

The man-hour is low, the cost is not high, the attributes are balanced, the evolution potential is huge, and the most important thing is that the quantity is large and the management is full.

Everyone is playing dice, and your hands are all six, but how can you, the god of gamblers with one dice, beat my villain with seven dice?

I admit that I am a gambler, but even if my luck is so bad that all seven dice are 1, I can at least equal the God of Gamblers Gao Jin who can shake the dice in half!

So if you want to replace most of the ground troops and form a combat match with the existing army, the mechanical war beast must be as cost-effective as the original T34—or it must be more cost-effective than the existing war vehicles. .

So when the old academician uttered this word, the old director immediately understood that Europa had been tricked by Party B.

Party A’s father gave money and resources to others, and in the end Party B used their money to make a good work, but took the unfinished draft to hand in the job...Of course, it may be that Party A has not yet produced the manuscript. Dad was killed directly.

"I understand why the Holy Cross suddenly had such great ambitions back then, and even wanted to overwhelm the secular regime again and rebuild a culture of theocracy—suicide!"

The old bureau chief sighed, and had a higher opinion of the Holy Cross—but it didn't matter, for the organization far away in the kingdom of heaven, he didn't mind giving the other party a high score.

"Isn't that their brains are flooded and they want to get involved in the political power?" Bai Li wondered: "And what does this have to do with the demise of the Holy Cross?"

"If you are an ambitious person in an organization, when you find out that your upper class has a lot of power in your hands and has cultivated many of your own spokespersons, the middle class has a huge economic network and has covered many industries, and the lower class is the most simple and direct. If you only need to start the production line, you can produce more than 30 elite street fighting machines in a month, what do you think?"

"...I'll think about why I'm not the overlord of the region yet." Baili murmured for a while, then suddenly woke up: "Just because of this?!"

"It's an inducement, but at the strategic level, this technology is already the key to the decisive strategy." The old academician took off his glasses: "I won't talk about the frustration, I will remind the General Manager when I go. , to speed up the progress of research and development and reverse engineering, this thing is very dangerous... far more dangerous than high-end individual combat power that cannot be mass-produced."

Gustav Cannon is handsome, but if there are two armored regiments in the face, I don't know how the former died.

"Also, it's better for you to bring back the relevant main control chip as soon as possible." The old academician reminded: "An efficient identification friend or foe system, an unmanned autonomous AI that can be applied to actual combat, or even a brand-new mechanical structure, and the current The most feasible mass-produced joint with almost no dead angle... In this era, people can’t afford to lose it, so let’s send it to the machine—this is the best choice.”

His performance reminded Baili of a movie plot he had seen before - the "Sherlock Holmes" movie in which Downey Jr. played Sherlock Holmes.

In that movie, the great devil in the late nineteenth century created a timed poison gas device, and he thought that this gas would help him rule the world in the name of black magic.

However, after the failure of the big devil, Professor Moritia took away a small part of the timed poison gas device. According to Professor Moritia, that is the key to open the door to the new world.

In London at the end of the nineteenth century, what the supervillain got was a remote control device—that represented the advent of the electronic age...

But now Baili was looking at the AR virtual reality glasses in his hand, looking at the wreckage of the mechanical beast in front of him, listening to Nuwa's soft and natural electronically synthesized female voice, and vaguely saw something.

What do you see?

Thinking of this, she turned her head and looked at the one-way light-transmitting window next to her. Outside the window was the bright moon hanging high.

However, the one-way light-transmitting glass and the diffuse reflection of the indoor light made the high-hanging crescent moon like a knife, stained with a touch of blood red.

She then understood that what she saw was not just the development of technology.

And behind this technological development, lies the bloody future...

While the old academician was talking with Bai Li, the middle-aged Taoist priest guarding the door stared at each other with the weird Taoist nun Dong Guanzhu.

Dong Guanzhu is an existence... quite elusive.

The reputations of the previous Dongguan masters are not bad, and some have violent tempers, but most of them belong to the "good people" who are well-educated and refined. There are men and women.
