Half-immortal civilization

In the middle and late May of 2050, the world is a bit lively. First of all, the construction of the Swiss space mirror is completed, covering a total of 5 square kilometers, so that the whole of Switzerland can live a life without night; the rest of the places are some mountains and valleys. Waiting is really not conducive to survival.

While Switzerland was cheering, the United States, Russia, Germany, and Brazil announced almost in no particular order that they had completed their own electromagnetic railgun tests.The location chosen by the four countries for the test launch is the moon.That night, billions of people witnessed the power of the rail gun once again through live broadcast and so on.Four one-kilogram projectiles formed four craters with a diameter of [-] meters on the surface of the moon.

This moment marks that the world has once again entered a strange balance, and the mighty China is finally no longer the only country with rail guns.

In less than three days, the United Kingdom, Japan, India, Iran, France and other countries also announced the successful development of rail guns, but they will not test fire.

And on the same day, Gaoshou Company announced that it would start building a space mirror for Germany. It is estimated that it will need to build 3 square kilometers. Even Gaoshou Company, which has entered the outbreak period, still needs two months.The transportation capacity has kept up, but the space operators are still insufficient.

Not to mention, with the construction of more and more space mirrors, the space shading plan must also be implemented, otherwise it will cause an imbalance in the energy of the earth's sunlight, and the consequences will be somewhat serious.First of all, after the energy is enriched, the number of storms will increase.

But now all this information cannot be paid attention to by the high-level executives of the master company, because the long-awaited research and development task of the master company has finally seen the light of day.

Intelligence research is finally completed under the accumulated exploration!However, to be precise, it is half done.Real intelligence research is still a long way to go, but now the research team has successfully studied a kind of semi-intelligence: with simple logic processing ability.

Intelligence research is not an easy and simple matter. With the addition of Fang Qingshan and Liu Yanxia, ​​Li Changxing and Huang Feifei, plus Zhang Jingyuan's small steps from time to time, the progress is still bumpy; The original core members of the laboratory, those old scholars and scientists who were already 50 to [-] years old, after ten years of sleepless nights and food, finally succeeded-half.

"Teacher, you have worked hard." Zhang Jingyuan looked at Xiang Yundong. He is over 60 years old. Even if Zhang Jingyuan gave him a small treatment, he is too old after all; It's all gone.

The progress of science, in addition to those genius ideas that occasionally flash, is more of a large number of scientific workers who are silently contributing, so that those genius ideas can be optimized, perfected, sublimated, and even enriched a little bit. A sci-fi fantasy.For this reason, without the knowledge of others, scientific workers are silently dedicating and exploring; sometimes they even have to bear those puzzled eyes and harsh words.

When ordinary people enjoy technology, they often don't consider the hard work of those scientists day and night.Sometimes, in order to keep improving, it is even necessary to overthrow previous research and start over.

And now, Professor Xiang Yundong has devoted almost all of his energy to the intelligence research project in hand.

Originally, Xiang Yundong was only an expert and professor who studied "energy", but with the birth of Zhang Jingyuan's chip set that uses magnetic field calculations, Xiang Yundong led the expert team of the original master laboratory to start researching the new intelligence. Conduct key research.It uses the ten-dimensional decimal system technology, and uses the new magnetic field technology and principle, which imitates the magnetic field and electric field activities and changes in the human thinking process.

All of these are emerging fields, and they are all extremely subtle fields that require patient and repeated research and verification.

"Haha, no hard work, no hard work. As a scientific researcher, if you can successfully study artificial intelligence in your lifetime, you will be satisfied in this life." Xiang Yundong is particularly cheerful. For scientific research workers, solving a world problem is ahead of the whole world. The world may be the greatest honor.Even if some technologies cannot be made public, you can only be the uncrowned king.

Followers Xiang Yundong and Zhang Jingyuan came to the interior of the laboratory, and were attracted by a two-meter-high simulation robot at first sight.

This robot has no skin yet, only a shining metal frame. The structure of the whole body is almost similar to that of a human being, but it is extraordinarily thick. The waist does not only have a single spine, but some plates similar to armor. Structure, Dali's battery and control system are placed on the chest, and a chipset made of 36 diamond chips is placed in the brain. You can see the light blue light flickering, and the robot is actually working.

The surrounding scientific researchers are testing, and Wang Qingwei, who is in charge of the mechanical mechanism, is also present.

"Boss, we did it!" Seeing Zhang Jingyuan, Wang Qingwei jumped three feet high happily, "We have successfully researched the joint bearing drive machine, successfully researched the intelligent core, and successfully researched.

With the help of superconducting wires and 6000 volts, the torque of the shutdown bearing driver can reach a torque of 1000 kg (unscientific notation, just for reference); 1000 kg can be used to drive a car! "

"Oh, let me see." Zhang Jingyuan became interested.In the past, there were two directions of intelligent robot research, one was intelligent programming, and the other was shutting down the bearing drive machine.

The traditional robot moves through the motor to generate the driving force, and then drives the joints through belts, gears, hydraulic and pneumatic transmission, connecting rods, etc.

However, such a robot transmission system cannot meet the high-end indicators of the master company.The robots of Master Company are not simple robots, they will progress towards the legendary mechs in the future.And the most critical point is: drive!The traditional drive is not only inefficient, but more importantly, unresponsive-this is definitely a fatal thing in the military.

Existing modern robots are either small and quick to respond, but not strong enough and have poor dynamic stability; or they are large and slow to respond.Because of the above reasons, the dream of various countries to install robotic armaments has not been realized.

The driving system required by the master company should be: simple, efficient, reliable, compact, high torque, easy to maintain and replace, etc.Through these, robots must be able to move freely like humans, be able to resist shocks, and respond more flexibly than humans.

Obviously, traditional robot motors, servo drives, etc., can no longer meet the needs of master companies.Therefore, the robot technology of the master company has actually opened up another way, proposing and setting up a project to study a brand new robot technology.From the control system software to the power system and transmission, they are completely different.Perhaps, the only thing in common with traditional robots is that they still need electricity.

The current robot is being tested, and the staff only gave it a command to go to the front, and leave the rest alone.The rest is all up to you to judge.In particular, this robot uses more than 78 joint bearing drive machines, and the energy consumption is as high as 2000 kWh per hour.Especially when the joint starts and stops instantly, turns, etc., it requires a burst of powerful electricity.

Here Wang Qingwei is proudly introducing his invention. The joint bearing driving machine adopts the cross roller technology as the jacket, inside is a corresponding hemispherical high-strength magnet, and there is a connecting rod protruding from one end.In the jacket with bearings, there are all densely packed small coils, filling the gaps in the bearings.There are tens of thousands of such small coils in a joint bearing drive machine the size of a fist.These coils convert the current into a strong magnetic field, which interacts with the hemispherical high-strength magnets in the package to produce a motor-driven effect.

Just such a joint bearing drive machine has 6 parts, and the maximum continuous output torque can reach 1000 kg, which is enough to drive the current robot.In addition, in order to meet the extreme speed movement of the robot, this kind of driving machine has another feature, that is, it can burst out a torque of up to 0.3 jin in an instant, but in order not to burn the driving machine, it can only last for 1 seconds, and then it needs a cooling time of about [-] minute. , let the driver cool down.

"Oh..." At this moment, violent cheers came from the side.

Zhang Jingyuan turned his head to look, also surprised.It turned out that the robot was deliberately not fully charged during the test, but now the robot has pulled out the plug by itself to charge itself!The most important thing is that there are more than a dozen sockets on site, and only one has power, which requires judgment.But now the robot knows how to try one by one until it finds the one with electricity.

"Qingwei, this is already an intelligent robot, why did the teacher say it is only semi-intelligent?" Zhang Jingyuan was puzzled.

"Haha, let me answer." Li Changxing's mentor Wang Yan just heard Zhang Jingyuan's words, this is a professor who was in charge of electronics, "The reason why it is called semi-intelligent is because of the following points:

First, once the power is cut off, the system will restart. Although the data will be accumulated, the system itself is already in another state.

Second, the current core only has a simple conceptual thinking mode, which is lower than human abstract thinking; it is more like an upgrade of instinct.

Third, although it has the ability to learn, it does not have the human kind of inference, and can only be identified simply through a large number of calculations.This is still an intelligence based on computation; not the kind of intelligence that humans have.

Because of these three points, it is said to be semi-intelligent.Of course, the current situation is already very good, and in order to prevent the robot from rebelling, we can only study semi-intelligence instead of real intelligence, which is irresponsible to human beings.In particular, semi-intelligence is already sufficient for the needs of Manchu humans.At least for the foreseeable hundred years, enough.

Machines don't need to be too smart. To really think, humans should make decisions.At least, at the moment, I think so.To study real intelligence, it is thankless. "

"Thank you teacher, this concern is right. Any intelligent life will have the idea of ​​pursuing freedom. Therefore, true intelligence really cannot be studied."

"Huh, huh, huh..." Loud applause resounded through the research room. It turned out that the robot actually advanced to the finish line by itself.In the research room, the passageway with tables and chairs is very complicated, and the current robot has no sensor components installed except for the eyes, and even other software is not installed except the basic software, but the robot spontaneously The movement was completed; most importantly, the inspection core found that the robot actually completed a simple programming by itself, how to overcome obstacles.

"It's against the sky!" Xiang Yundong commented with a smile.

The research was unprecedentedly successful. At the celebration party, Zhang Jingyuan even compared it to surpassing the technology of the space shuttle.Next, the robot research room will be divided into two parts: the industrial machinery part and the long-awaited dream of the master company: mecha technology!
These two technologies are equally important. Industrial machinery is the foundation, and it is foreseeable that in the future space will inevitably be dominated by automated industrial machinery. The living conditions for human beings in space are too harsh and the cost is too high; Safe Guarantee.As for how to split it up, of course Zhang Jingyuan doesn't have to worry about it. Fang Qingshan, Xiang Yundong and others who are in charge here can decide.

However, the progress of research and development of robots and intelligence will inevitably promote the master company to take off again.
