Chapter 1223 The black technology that Americans used to be
His spirits were suddenly lifted, and Wang Natural subconsciously tapped forward and asked, "Really? What's the matter?"
Lin Zheng did not answer immediately, but asked instead: "The Americans have a bad attitude. The above is also a purpose of holding this expo: to show our country's level of automatic control and tell Americans not to think that I am easy to bully. ●⌒, do you know this?"
How could Wang Naturally not know that after the April Fool's Day incident this year, Americans had a very bad attitude and refused to admit their mistakes and apologize. The Americans are so arrogant, and the Republic is of course very dissatisfied with the Republic. This China International Advanced Electronic Manufacturing and Intelligent Robot Expo, which was originally determined last year, had another meaning. A month ago, Xinsong Robot Co., Ltd. received a notice requiring Xinsong Robot to showcase the Republic's achievements in automatic control and electronic technology at this Electronic Manufacturing and Intelligent Robot Expo. For this reason, a batch of technologies that can be decrypted and publicly displayed were also specially approved.
"So, have you received the notification?" Speaking of this, Wang Natural suddenly reacted and looked at Lin Zheng with shock: "Did you have created a four-legged stepping robot with automatic search and attack functions?!"
Are you a four-legged stepper robot with automatic search and automatic attack functions? Lin Zheng immediately smiled bitterly: "Well, although the technical difficulty is not very difficult, this does not match our country's usual preference, right?"
"Haha..." Wang Natural smiled awkwardly, and realized that what he said was inappropriate: This China International Advanced Electronic Manufacturing and Intelligent Robot Expo is essentially an expo that mainly displays civil and industrial automation technology and industrial robots. If Lianchuang Technology really makes an armed four-legged stepper robot that can make people know it is a military purpose, it will become a big joke. This thing is almost the same when it appears at a defense exhibition.
"What the hell is that?" I couldn't help but feel curious. Although I knew that it was inappropriate to ask this, Wang Naturally asked.
"Two," Lin Zheng raised two fingers and said seriously: "One is a long-distance intelligent drone that can automatically monitor the pests and diseases of agriculture and forestry after setting the route, and automatically return to the airline. The other is an automatic assisted walking system designed only for disabled people with severe amputation."
"Intelligent drones and automatic assisted walking systems?" As a top expert in the field of autonomous control and robots in China, Wang Natural is certainly not a fool. As soon as he slapped his mouth, he immediately felt something was wrong. Then he slapped his thighs heavily, tugging at the teeth and sweating coldly: "I'll go! Isn't this the military smart drone and mechanical exoskeleton system?"
"Wrong!" Lin Zheng said seriously: "You are slandering. This drone is definitely just a cheap monitoring device used in agriculture and forestry production. As for the auxiliary walking system designed for patients with high amputation, is it wrong for us to care about disabled people and help them live a better life?"
"Pret! Keep pretending!" Wang Natural pointed at Lin Zheng and sneered: "It's fine if you say this to others. Still say that to me? Have you forgotten what I do? I started to study automatic control and robotics before I even started working. Isn't your auxiliary walking system designed for highly amputated patients transformed into a military mechanical exoskeleton? What's the difference between it and the mechanical exoskeleton system that Americans have been working on for decades?
Oh, by the way, I remember your company has its own virtual reality product? It is just used on your mechanical exoskeleton... Boy, you are well prepared."
Lin Zheng did not answer, but instead asked Wang Natural curiously: "What? I heard what you meant that Americans studied mechanical exoskeletons quite early? Didn't they just start arguing two years ago?"
In Lin Zheng's memory, the US Defense Advanced Research and Development Agency began to demonstrate the technical feasibility of mechanical exoskeletons in 1996. Last year, a small company in the United States called Saros began to study dynamic exoskeletons with the support of the US Defense Advanced Research Agency. How do you listen to Wang Natural's meaning? It seems that Americans have been studying mechanical exoskeleton projects for a long time?
"What do you think?" Wang Natural snorted twice: "Americans began to study mechanical exoskeletons as early as the 1950s, and took out the finished product in the 1960s."
"No?" Wang Natural said more than Lin Zheng's expectations. He said in disbelief: "What do you mean is that when the Cold War just began, Americans started to develop mechanical exoskeletons?"
According to Lin Zheng's understanding of the urinary nature of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union, which were constantly performing the "You have I have everything" game, were like two children who were fighting in houses. They like to play the game "You have I have everything" the most. Once one of them made a gold-plated toilet yesterday, the other day would definitely carry out a pure gold one and quickly fill the remaining improvement space for the opponent because of a momentary negligence. So a little bit of the remaining improvement space for the toilet: I don't plating, I made it with 99.9% of the pure gold. In this way, completely annihilate the opponent's remaining imagination space for the toilet. Since the Americans have begun to study mechanical exoskeletons, how could the great Soviet be willing to lag behind others?
"Hmm..." Wang Natural snorted.
Through Wang Natural's introduction, Lin Zheng realized that the US military has been paying attention to the power exoskeleton for a long time than he had imagined. As early as the 1960s, General Electric developed the first power exoskeleton device that can truly integrate with human body movement: Hardyman.
"Hardiman" senses the wearer's intention through hydraulic and electric drive mechanisms and force feedback sensing systems. It can perform various natural movements with the human body. The most important thing is that it can amplify the wearer's strength by 25 times. That is to say, when you lift 110 kilograms of weight in "Hardiman", it feels like you are lifting 4.5 kilograms of objects.
But that was 40 years ago. Due to the technology and technical level at that time, the full set of "Hardiman" exoskeleton weighed as high as 680 kilograms. The wearer could only walk at a speed of 0.7 meters per second, and basically had no practical significance in the United States. The American film and television industry was inspired by this. The loading and unloading robot operated by a female pig's feet in the science fiction movie "Alien 2" released in 1986 was inspired by this.
It was also during the same period that the Los Alamos Laboratory in the United States also launched a power armor project called "Pitman". The concept of "Pitman" is very close to the popular science fiction movie "Iron Man" in recent years. Compared with "Hardiman", "Pitman" is even more amazing: the outer armor made of glass fiber and polymer/ceramic composite armor can withstand 12.7mm armor-piercing bombs has nuclear and biochemical protection capabilities. This is just a pediatric department. It is enough to let the wearer sense the external environment through the helmet display of virtual reality technology. But what is even more amazing is that the hydrogen/oxygen fuel cell is powered by a built-in auxiliary power unit and air conditioner, electric artificial muscle drive, and brain thought sensing manipulation...
Of course, because these things are too advanced and completely beyond the technical level at that time, the project eventually became a castle in the air.
By the end of the last century, two major problems that plagued mechanical exoskeletons: the energy density of batteries and automated control technology made critical breakthroughs. The US Defense Advanced Research Projects could no longer bear it and restarted the development of the mechanical exoskeleton project. After more than three years of technical demonstration, it finally officially began to fund Saros's development of power exoskeletons last year, in 2000, with the goal of finally obtaining a practical exoskeleton that can help soldiers bear weight, walk and carry.
"Damn it!" After hearing the introduction of the "Pitman" project, Lin Zheng swears: Damn Americans are playing with this black technology.
Wang Natural stared at Lin Zheng with bright eyes and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Lin, tell me the truth. Have you really solved the problem of logic algorithms and batteries? Oh, you have solved the battery. I heard about your flywheel batteries, algorithms..."
Wang naturally no longer chased him and asked about the mechanical exoskeleton. Of course, Lin Zheng would not foolishly continue the topic just now, and immediately said: "In terms of algorithms, we will have a technical discussion the day after tomorrow. I wonder if you are interested, Mr. Wang?"
"Analysis seminar on mechanical exoskeletons?" Wang Natural's eyes lit up immediately!
"No, it's the algorithm of unmanned intelligent aircraft, and it's not a seminar, it's a seminar... It's a bragging meeting."
"Go! Of course you have to go!" Wang Natural said without hesitation: "Do you want a ticket?"
"I don't need tickets. It's okay for anyone to go and see it at that time, but..." After a brief pause, Lin Zheng smiled and rubbed his thumb and index finger with a cunning look on his face, saying: "The Chinese Academy of Sciences will give us a few more people in automatic control and logical algorithms, right?"
"You..." Wang Natural was so angry that he pointed at Lin Zheng and his fingers were trembling, "Do you know that you are taking advantage of the situation to rob?"
"I know," Lin Zheng nodded seriously: "But if you have a chance, you don't need to expire or invalidate it. If it were you, wouldn't you use it if you have such an opportunity?"
"..." Wang Naojiu pointed Lin Zheng twice, and gritted his teeth and said, "You are ruthless!"
Lin Zheng's face suddenly turned into a flower, and he bowed to Wang Natural repeatedly and said, "Thank you, thank you, with the support of our Chinese Academy of Sciences, we are even more confident."
"Hmph..." He snorted unhappily, and Wang Natural waved his hand impatiently: "Go away quickly, leave quickly, if you don't leave, we Xinsong's foundation will be taken away by you."
When will Lin Zheng not leave now? Without saying a word, he immediately took Tan Na's hand and slipped away. (To be continued.)
