Chapter 1115 first meeting
Because of the human-shaped mechanical armor project, Tianyu Group itself paid 400 million yuan, so Chen Ze was also bored with these five iron lumps that were not useful.
"Our company is the world's largest industrial robot manufacturer, but industrial robots are actually just some robotic arms installed with electronic chips. After setting up intelligent programs, they can be competent for some simple and repetitive tasks. Compared with humans, the advantages of industrial robots are low error rates and no fatigue."
"But military mechas are not the same concept at all. It was only after our group developed that it gradually realized how difficult it is to militarize industrial robots." Chen Ze expressed his regretful expression. He didn't mind exposing his shortcomings here, as it was better than being resented because of bragging.
"What is the biggest problem?" Ye Yiwei looked at the five huge human-shaped steel monsters. While shocking, it was a bit of a pity. It was like a dream that seemed to be within reach, but in fact it was far away from the other side that could not be touched.
"The power system, long-lasting combat capability, and computer program settings." Chen Ze said directly, without any concealment. "First of all, most of the power is mainly gas engines, and such a braking mode cannot be applied to mecha units."
During the development process, Tianyu Group discovered this problem.
Tanks and tanks are both wheeled drives, which can be easily solved by the engine when ignited. The chassis modification and the layout of the body parts are traceable. If you spend some time, you can always make real objects and then improve them.
However, the actual combat mechas needed by the military cannot be activated with gas engines, because mechas are used to advance with "limbs", not wheels.
Therefore, the Science and Technology Department of Tianyu Group designed the mecha to be driven by electric energy, installed a large number of electric motors, and used built-in tracks and gears to realize the "human" form of the mecha, which can walk upright.
But two other problems follow one after another, one is the issue of battery life, but such a complex internal structure, how to complete manual control.
Because multiple engines need to be installed inside, gas engines cannot be used, but electric motors must be used. Current human technology that relies on chemical energy cannot guarantee the long-lasting endurance of the huge mecha.
Tianyu Group spent a lot of effort and let the mecha move for forty minutes, then it ran out of power.
However, if the battery capacity is to be increased, the weight of the body will be increased, affecting maneuverability. The growth of battery life is not obvious. Moreover, because the control system is too complex, ordinary humans cannot drive at all.
During the experiment, there were often "falls". The mecha weighing more than 20 tons fell to the ground and suffered structural damage. The maintenance fee alone was a headache, not to mention that clumsy action was not as good as a tank in actual combat.
The entire project was bumpy and difficult. After spending all the funds injected by the government, Chen Ze, who was unwilling to fail, continued to spend money with his teeth and finally had to give up the entire development plan.
After learning about the incident, Ye Yiwei was also a little disappointed. He came here with great hope.
His original origin made him always feel a little nervous and eager to do something to prove himself. The host of Xihe Project is Li Zongren, and of course he cannot steal the limelight from his elder brother, so he focused his attention on this sudden mecha weapon.
However, after listening to Chen Ze's explanation, he also understood that at this stage, it is completely impossible for humans to develop cutting-edge weapons like mechas.
"Minister Ye, you don't have to be so discouraged." Seeing Ye Yiwei's expression, Chen Ze more or less guessed some of the other party's thoughts, "I just said that our group cannot develop mecha weapons that can be used in actual combat, but it does not mean that everyone cannot do it."
These words, in addition to disappointment, gave Ye Yiwei new hope.
"What you said is true?" But when he thought of Tianyu Group's technical status in intelligent machinery, he sighed again, "Mr. Chen, you don't need to say something nice. Even your Tianyu Group can't make intelligent mechanical bodies, who else can do it in this world?"
Originally, Chen Ze, the founder of the company, should be proud and proud, but now he can only look at each other with Lu Yiming beside him, and the two looked at each other.
Lu Yiming then stood up with a wry smile: "That... Actually, strictly speaking, we are just the largest industrial robot manufacturer. When it comes to mechanical assembly technology, we are not the best."
"What?" After hearing this, Ye Yiwei was shocked again, "Who is that?"
"Science and Technology Association, have you heard of it?" Lu Yiming carefully revealed the name of an organization.
"Science and Technology Association?" Ye Yiwei thought hard, but still did not remember the similar organization name. "Is this institution very famous in our country?"
Ye Yiwei felt it was very strange. If it was an important and well-known organization, he would have known it before taking office. However, he had no impression of this so-called science and technology association, and no one in the Ministry of National Defense had told him that there was such an organization.
Looking at Ye Yiwei's puzzled expression, Lu Yiming understood that the other party had no idea about the existence of the Science and Technology Association. He smiled bitterly: "It is normal that you have never heard of it. The Science and Technology Association has no reputation, mainly because they are not a profit-making institution and have never released any relevant technical achievements."
The Science and Technology Association is actually the Science and Technology Department of the Underground Palace, but now it has begun to come out of the Underground Palace and has become a technical research and development department directly belonging to the Ancient Literature Association.
This department has always been studying "impossible" technologies, including the research and development of mecha weapons.
At the beginning, the Ministry of National Defense and Tianyu Group also invited the Science and Technology Association to participate in the "Human-shaped Mechanical Armor" project, but Zhong Yang refused, mainly because he was unwilling to share this cutting-edge technology with the government.
According to the usual style of the ancient Chinese Society, only after mastering advanced products can we use at least one generation of technology for money.
Chen Ze also knew this style, but because Tianyu Group, which has been successful in technology research and development in the past twenty years, has rarely reached out to Zhong Yang.
"If anyone is really the first to develop a mecha that can be applied to the actual combat environment, then it must be the Science and Technology Association. If you are unfamiliar with the name of Science and Technology Association, then Zhong Yang and Guwenzhi will do it. You should have heard of it."
When Chen Ze mentioned sensitive words like Zhong Yang and Guwen, Ye Yiwei became cautious, "If this is the case, it would be understandable, but why did I never know that there was a science and technology association in place before?"
Such important information cannot be archived by government departments, and Ye Yiwei has always paid great attention to collecting information about the ancient Chinese Society.
"Minister Ye. You are just a government official. Who in the military will tell you these things?" Chen Ze spread his hands, "I'm not provoking it. In fact, ancient Chinese will have countless branches in all areas of society, some are fully public, some are semi-public, and there are completely closed like the Association for Science and Technology. You are the Minister of National Defense, so do you have to find out and verify them one by one?"
Ye Yiwei also knew that Chen Ze was not sowing the disagreement. But he was still very uncomfortable. Within the military, there were not many people in the Science and Technology Association, but there were also many.
But none of these people were willing to tell Ye Yiwei or Li Zongren the news, and they were all hidden.
What annoyed Ye Yiwei was exactly this behavior, but as Chen Ze said. There are so many branches in ancient Chinese. Even if Ye Yiwei has three heads and six arms, he would not be able to see it unless someone tells him some truth.
If it weren't for Chen Ze's fight in the mecha project today and was eager to clear his responsibilities, the Science and Technology Association would not have provided it with it.
But it was not in vain that Ye Yiwei at least knew who to start from and get what he wanted.
"American Literature Association, Science and Technology Association, how much more do I don't know about this country?" His eyebrows were twisted deeply, and Ye Yiwei's thoughts had already floated to the Chaoshi Science and Technology Park located in Nansha.
After receiving information about the Science and Technology Association, Ye Yiwei refused Chen Ze's retention and immediately took a helicopter from Guangzhou Air Force Base to Nansha. The headquarters of the Science and Technology Association is in the Chaoshi Science and Technology Park.
The Science and Technology Association is actually a private club. The list of internal members is kept confidential and brings together a large number of scientific madmen from all over the country and even the world, including all walks of life.
The main purpose is to study some "no money" technologies, which are high-end, but have poor business prospects. Generally speaking, private companies are unwilling to invest in such projects.
Even the country is unwilling to waste funds on these scientific and technological projects that are neither "basic" nor "realistic", so the Association for Science and Technology can exist and develop.
However, even after nearly twenty-four years of growth, the Science and Technology Association is still unknown in the social field and has only opened two popular science magazines.
One is the weekly magazine of Science Fiction and the other is the quarterly magazine of Technology Outlook. Both are science and technology books. Generally, only a few high-end readers are willing to accept it and the audience is not wide.
In addition, the Science and Technology Association has not produced many practical technical achievements available for a long time, so it has not paid attention to this mysterious and low-key club organization.
Except for those who really know the inside story, as well as a few senior executives in the government and military who have had technical cooperation with science. The Science and Technology Association is not that it has not made any technical achievements, but that all technical achievements are not released in the name of the Science and Technology Association.
Even the four words of the Science and Technology Association will not be mentioned. Using the powerful photonic computer system, Zhong Yang built a highly realistic virtual network world - the ancient and ancient domain.
The research of the Science and Technology Association is basically completed in the virtual online world of "The Ancient Domain of the Past", and then it is tested in the real world, and finally dealt with by the inventor of this technology.
According to the regulations of the Science and Technology Association, all scientists or researchers who join the association must sign a contract, including confidentiality agreements and payment of membership fees.
Before making technical achievements, it is free to use the "Precious Ancient Domain" system, but once the achievements are made, the Science and Technology Association will have priority refusal and 50% of the patent income rights.
However, generally speaking, when the patent income is shared, it will be transferred to the external enterprises of the Underworld. For example, the Longyuan Group was one of them, and the same is Wanhe Electronics Company.
Chen Ze was reluctantly handed over these information under Ye Yiwei's deliberate request.
Moreover, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Ye Yiwei now knows that Tianyu Group has a hybrid photoelectric computer, and according to Chen Ze's speculation, the Science and Technology Association is likely to have a photonic computer, that is, an optical brain that is completely above the computer.
A photon computer is a new type of computer that performs digital operations, logic operations, information storage and processing of optical signals. It is composed of optical components and equipment such as lasers, optical mirrors, lenses, filters, etc. It relies on the laser beam to enter an array of mirrors and lenses for information processing, and photons replace electrons and optical operations replace electrical operations.
The parallelism and high speed of light naturally determine that the parallel processing capability of photon computers is very strong and has ultra-high computing speed. Photon computers also have similar fault tolerance to the human brain. When a certain component in the system is damaged or errored, it does not affect the final calculation result.
The information distortion and distortion caused by photons in optical media are extremely small, and the energy consumption and heat dissipation during light transmission and conversion are extremely low. The requirements for environmental conditions are much lower than those for electronic computers.
Regarding the concept of light-brain and related research, the official scientific research institutions of Huaxia Federation have been doing their best, but they have not even made up the photoelectric hybrid computer, so they can only rent the host computer of Tianyu Group.
Due to cost factors, Tianyu Group only built a hybrid optoelectronic computer and placed it in the scientific research center building at its headquarters. In order to protect this intelligent system, the South China Military Region sent an armored company and stationed in a camp 500 meters away.
When Ye Yiwei thought of private enterprises having computer hardware systems that are more advanced than the country, he was secretly angry: "I really don't know the general situation!"
In Ye Yiwei's eyes, if you have good things, you should take them out and hand them over to the "public" and let the government control such power. If you don't do this, you will "not know the general", "ignoring the overall situation", and "abnormal rebellion".
In short, all good things should belong to the state. As for who the country belongs, this is ambiguous.
No matter what era, a political organization like a state will not change, and only a few people can control the power. For these pampered and nobles, domineering and arrogant are natural natures.
However, Ye Yiwei would not have used the previous revolutionary party and Hongmen to the Huaxia Federation. He may not be the opponent of the Guwen Society by simply competing with the power at the material level.
If Zhong Yang doesn't mess with the government and the military, it doesn't mean he can't afford to mess with him.
Ye Yiwei still has a deep understanding of this point. He does not think that if he masters the general trend and justice of a country, he can point fingers at the founders of the country.
This era is the era of technology first, not the era of ancient times where hundreds of thousands of troops could rest assured to those in power.
Ye Yiwei could imagine that if he was determined to fight against Guwen, he might be "accidentally" one day. Even Li Zongren would only have eulogies and wreaths online at his funeral, and would not pursue or retaliate.
Through Chen Ze's help, Ye Yiwei contacted Li Xiaomin, the president of the Science and Technology Association. This man was once the technical director of Longyuan Group. However, later, Longyuan Group went bankrupt due to malicious competition from Xinghua News Agency, so Li Xiaomin had to leave with Liao Yi, the then chairman, and joined Science.
Over the past ten years, my diligent work has finally been recognized by most members and I served as the president of this term of association, with a term of three years.
Just so happens that Li Xiaomin's technical expertise is mechanical intelligence research. Unlike the "pragmatic"ism of Huayang Heavy Industry, Li Xiaomin believes that intelligent robots should achieve higher intelligence, rather than succumb to costs and hand over part of the operations to humans for completion.
However, the development of the mecha project was not led by Li Xiaomin. He only participated in the development of the action assistance system and led the software team to set up a set of action command programs for the "Barbaric" to assist the drivers in better coordination of the movement of the body.
Li Xiaomin was a little surprised at Ye Yiwei's arrival, but after receiving such instructions, he began to have a direct contact with the other party.
The helicopter Ye Yiwei was riding was banned from passing when he was one kilometer away from Chaoshi Science and Technology Park. As a last resort, he had to stop on a lawn.
However, the other party seemed to be ready. When the propeller of the helicopter was still spinning due to inertia, the convoy that came to greet arrived at the scene and did not ask the Minister of Defense to wait too long.
This is a private territory, and even because of the power behind it, even military aircraft can be prohibited from passing through the airspace above.
Of course, Ye Yiwei became angry again about such a thing, but when he thought of asking for help from the other party, he could not express this anger.
Li Xiaomin is obviously more "polite" than Chen Ze. At least in front of Ye Yiwei, Li Xiaomin came to greet him in person, rather than sending a deputy.
"Hello, Minister Ye." Li Xiaomin didn't say much, and his whole temperament was simple and straightforward, meticulous.
After getting on the other party's car, Ye Yiwei immediately felt the difference between the Science and Technology Association and Tianyu Group. The car was less luxurious, but more of the taste of cutting-edge technology.
The stereo projector replaced the LCD monitor, and there are many technological products that Ye Yiwei could not name.
Li Xiaomin was serious and saw that after he gently touched a cursor on a sphere device suspended in front of him, the ball-sized floating device of the ball size flew to a seat.
The long carriage, with chairs leaning against the window, arranged vertically.
At this time, Ye Yiwei suddenly found a person appearing on his body. After wiping a few strangely with snowflakes, the person actually spoke: "Hello, the first time we met, my name is Zhong Yang." (To be continued...)
