Science and Technology Library

From the appearance, this base is very ordinary, with some low buildings and sheds. It looks like a warehouse and residential area, and there are many training grounds and shooting ranges.

"Yes, this base is code-named 007, also known as District Seven or Base No. 7. It also has another name, Future Battlefield." Li Chengzhi said.

"Future battlefield?" Chen Mo was a little surprised when he heard the name.

"Yes, this is what the R&D personnel jokingly call this place, because here, concept weapons for individual combat that are being designed and explored for future warfare, belong to the most cutting-edge weapon research and development base."

As soon as the two got off the plane, two middle-aged men greeted them.

Seeing Chen Mo, the two had joyful smiles on their faces.Chen Mo is now a well-known god-level figure both in the world of ordinary people and in the world of technology.

The army ant system, carbon crystal new material, artificial intelligence, seismograph, robot, etc., each work is enough to convince people, and no one will question Chen Mo's qualifications.

"Comrade Chen Mo, welcome."

As soon as Chen Mo arrived, the leading middle-aged man with glasses held Chen Mo's hand, and the joy on his face could not be concealed.It said that a technical consultant might come, but I didn't expect that the technical consultant would be Chen Mo.

Although Chen Mo is young, he never dared to underestimate it, because their project was inspired by the robots of the Marching Army Ant Company.

"This is Comrade Cao Qinghua, the director of the base, who is mainly responsible for the research and development of the above things." Li Chengzhi introduced.

"Hello Director Cao." Chen Mo saluted back.

"This is Comrade Yang Qun, an expert in electronics and mechanics, and the chief engineer of the 'Iron Warrior Project'." Li Chengzhi looked at another middle-aged man and said.

"Comrade Chen Mo, I have known you for a long time." Yang Qun looked at the young man in front of him curiously.

Although the base is isolated from the outside world, he is not blind to things outside the window. He reads news, newspapers, and magazines of various technological products every day in order to understand the world's most cutting-edge technology and technology.For Chen Mo, an influential figure, when news comes out, it is always a sensational technological release, so it is impossible for him not to know about it.

"Hello, Mr. Cao." Chen Mo saluted in return.

This middle-aged man has gray hair and looks older than his actual age. He is wearing a blue robe and holding his hand, he can clearly feel the rough and thick calluses on his palm.

"Go inside and talk."

Cao Qinghua led the way and led a group of people towards the research workshop of the base.

The research workshop is very large and divided into several areas. In each area, there are technicians in blue clothes who are debugging various machines, as if they are making part molds.

Soon, under the leadership of Cao Qinghua and Yang Qun, Chen Mo and Li Chengzhi came to a machine skeleton more than two meters high.

If someone sees it, they will definitely recognize it. This is a new concept weapon for individual combat on the future battlefield-a mechanical exoskeleton.

The shape of the mechanical exoskeleton is sci-fi, like a robot bone armor. There are fixed accessories at each joint. There are two barrels attached to the back, steel and iron bones. On the big battery is a camera with no dead angle, like a small head.

"This is our research project, a mechanical exoskeleton system for individual combat."

Yang Qun introduced it to Chen Mo with pride in his tone.

"Speaking of which, this project has a little relationship with Comrade Chen Mo. Several unique designs of the machine were inspired by the design of the demon girl robot of Marching Ant Company. It is also these unique designs that make the equipment take shape.

For example, for the joint design of this mechanical exoskeleton system, we refer to the design of a robot similar to the enchantress.On the basis of the original, some changes have been made to the structure of exoskeleton equipment.Multiple sensors are integrated at the joints, and the sensors manage the micro-hydraulic system, which can interact between people and equipment, and minimize the hysteresis of movement after wearing the equipment.

The material of the equipment is light carbon aluminum alloy, which greatly reduces its own weight.If this set of equipment is put into the army, it will greatly improve the soldiers' load-bearing capacity, thereby reducing the loss of soldiers' physical strength. "

Yang Qun pointed to the personnel who were testing the mechanical exoskeleton on the proving ground ahead.

Chen Mo nodded, admiring the mechanical exoskeleton in front of him.This thing is the deformation of the robot, which is only for people to drive.

"Is it immature? Where are the technical flaws?" Chen Mo said.

"We want to make it into an intelligent mechanical exoskeleton. The current form only increases the load of soldiers and speeds up the marching speed of individual soldiers. The function is a bit weak. In future wars, weapons are the key. Robots or other unmanned weapons, Will become the main equipment, on the battlefield, reduce casualties as little as possible.

So we want to build it into an intelligent mechanical exoskeleton. When there are no soldiers driving, it can be used as an intelligent robot to replace soldiers for cover or fire suppression, and when necessary, replace soldiers to enter the battlefield. "

"Is there a lack of intelligence core now?" Chen Mo immediately understood why Li Chengzhi brought him here.

"Yes." Yang Qun nodded.

"How long does it last?"

"The fastest is 20 kilometers per hour, and the non-stop marching is five hours." Yang Qun said: "The energy core is the biggest problem restricting the development of robots and mechanical exoskeletons. We use your company's new carbon crystal battery, but it can do The maximum battery life reached is only 5 hours.”

"Five hours? Charging on the battlefield is troublesome, right?"

Five hours is nothing to war.There is no charging place on the battlefield, five hours, if it is used up on the battlefield, it is a waste of iron.

"Brother Chen Mo, this is not for long-distance marches. Five hours, as long as these machines are used properly, it can determine the victory of a battle. These machines, with intelligence, have advantages that tanks and other armors do not have. Able to act as a vanguard, enter enemy-occupied areas, and gain maximum benefit with minimum cost. When the team retreats, it can cover. And for defense, they are also tireless soldiers."

"The key is that it must be intelligent. Without intelligence, it is just an ordinary mechanical exoskeleton."

Yang Qun interrupted.

"At present, the main staff of the Academy of Sciences are focusing on improving Xia Wa's intelligence to assist scientific research. The original plan for this project was not to require high intelligence, but now artificial intelligence has gradually become popular. It was eliminated, and the upgrade plan was proposed. The transformation of artificial intelligence takes too long."

"So you want me to be a technical consultant? Grab a strong man." Chen Mo muttered.

Li Chengzhi smiled, not paying attention to Chen Mo's words.

"Artificial intelligence transformation should be fine. But I can't always modify it according to your requirements. After all, I can't stay in this base for a long time and accompany you in research and development." Chen Mo said.

"Then what should we do?" Yang Qun asked anxiously.

In the development of such equipment, the data must be modified according to the parameters and performance of the equipment.If Chen Mo can't stay here, then once they need to improve their intelligence, they have to find Chen Mo again, which is very troublesome.It is also impossible for them to move the project to Chen Mo's company.

Chen Mo thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, I can lend you someone."

"Borrower?" Several people on the field showed doubts at the same time.

"I will first transform the intelligent core into a rough shape according to your requirements, and then I will send an artificial intelligence team from the company to assist you, and continue to refine the intelligent core according to the details of the machine."

"Is that so?" Li Chengzhi pondered for a while: "Let me explain to the higher-ups, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Remember to talk about the salary of my team, it's not free labor." Chen Mo emphasized.

"Yes." Li Chengzhi said with a smile: "Sell your team to us, we can afford it."

"Good idea, don't come to me in the future if you dare to make them think."

After negotiating the technical support, under the leadership of Li Chengzhi, Chen Mo walked around the seventh district before coming out and rushing back to the original base.In the seventh area, there are some areas where activities are restricted. It is impossible for Chen Mo to wander around. The only thing he can see is the research workshop of the mechanical exoskeleton, so it is meaningless to stay there.

As soon as he returned to the original base, Chen Mo said: "Brother, I remember you said last time that the chief has a message and needs special research, can I tell you?"

"Yes." Li Chengzhi nodded.He was very impressed, because it was the first time he had such close contact with the chief executive: "You are looking for me because of this?"

"Now is the opportunity." Chen Mo took out a hard drive from his backpack and handed it to Li Chengzhi.

"what is this?"

"There is information in it, you give it to experts from the Institute of Plasma Physics, Academy of Sciences."

"Institute of Plasma Physics?"

Li Chengzhi was shocked, his pupils contracted, and he felt unprecedentedly heavy with the hard drive handed over by Chen Mo in his hand.He is an acquaintance of the two institutes, so he naturally knows what the main research and development topics of the Institute of Plasma Physics are.

"Then this is?" Li Chengzhi swallowed, his throat felt dry.

"Part of the simulation experiment data of controllable nuclear fusion." Chen Mo announced the answer in Li Chengzhi's mind.

"hiss……"

Chapter 363 Verification

Huizhou, Institute of Plasma Physics.

In the office, Li Jian is looking carefully at the research materials and papers, looking for breakthroughs in research.

He is an academician of the Academy of Engineering, former director of the Institute of Plasma, deputy general manager of the superconducting tokamak device, and director of the tokamak experiment.

In the last controlled nuclear fusion experiment, the steady-state operation of the fusion reaction broke through the [-]-second barrier. Their next task is to maintain the steady-state operation of the fusion reaction for a longer period of time.

The current tokamak is only an experimental device. Although the net output of the total energy is within the scope of consideration, the current main research technology is to maintain the time for the steady-state operation of the fusion reaction.

After the fusion reaction can be carried out stably, the next major problem to tackle is the net output of total energy.

In the field of nuclear fusion, it will always take 25 years for the technology to be far from practical application.This is the problem before them.

Sometimes with a moment of inspiration, maybe next month, the technology can be successfully tackled.Technology cannot be broken through, and there is no way to succeed in a few more 25 years.

In the next experiment, if they want to surpass the current record, they need continuous innovation in technology.They have privately modeled and simulated many experiments. If there is no new technological innovation, I am afraid that there will be no better breakthrough in a short period of time.

ding ding ding...

When Li Jian was thinking about possible technological breakthroughs, the doorbell interrupted his thoughts.

"Academician Li, the director asked me to let you go to his office, saying that there is something urgent."

"Urgent matter?" Li Jian frowned, put the documents in his hand into the safe, and walked out of the office: "Is there anything urgent?"

"I don't know. The director told me to notify, and Teacher Wan was also notified. It seems to be in a hurry." The staff who came to notify said.

"Okay." Li Jian nodded and left the office.

Except at the beginning of the tokamak experiment, at other times, there were very few emergencies that required the director to find him and Wan Yuanxi at the same time.

Both of them are leaders in experimental research, and time is very precious.But there is still some time before the next test starts, so what is the urgent matter this time?

The office of the director of the plasma institute, when Li Jian arrived, he saw three people in the office.

In addition to the director Wang Nian and his colleague Wan Yuanxi, there was another person he didn't know.From his appearance, he was undoubtedly a soldier.

With doubts, Li Jian greeted Wan Yuanxi and Wang Nian.

"Let me introduce. This is Comrade Li Chengzhi. Comrade Li Chengzhi rushed over from the capital overnight. There is something important that needs our help. The higher-ups have asked my office to fully cooperate with Comrade Li." Wang Nian said: "Comrade Li, this is Academician Li Jian, the person in charge of the tokamak experiment."

"Academician Li, hello." Li Chengzhi stretched out his hand to shake Li Jian's hand: "Academician Li and Academician Wan are here, and I won't waste your time. This matter is very important, and it's a bit special. You need to verify a piece of information." .”

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What information?" Wan Yuanxi, with gray hair, asked.

He is an academician of the Institute of Plasma Physics, one of the most senior researchers, and the leader of one of the research teams, many of which are his students.

At this moment, he was a little puzzled, what important data needed to gather their three top experts?

Li Chengzhi didn't answer, but took out three documents from the portable safe he brought over, and handed them to the three people on the field: "This is the document, please take a look, and give me an accurate answer."

All three were attracted by the information in their hands. When their eyes fell on the information, the faces of the three gradually became serious, more and more dignified, and finally their expressions changed drastically.

"Where did you get this information?"

Wan Yuanxi suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at Li Chengzhi in shock, his hands holding the documents were shaking.

He has been engaged in the research of high-temperature plasma physics and nuclear fusion for decades. He is the oldest researcher in the Institute of Plasma, and he has already mastered the theory of nuclear fusion.

This is the simulated experimental data of controlled nuclear fusion technology.

He is very familiar with some of the above principles and formulas, and he will never deceive anyone.

The information of controlled fusion technology is absolutely confidential in the research institute, and the key is distributed to multiple people for safekeeping, and even any one of them cannot retrieve it alone.

But now that information appeared in Li Chengzhi's hands, he had to panic.If the technology is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Comrade Li, how did you get this information? Isn't the information in the institute leaked?" Wang Nian was also very shocked at the moment.

"Calm down first." Li Chengzhi looked at the three people who were a little lost and said, "The information is not from your institute. The specific source is now confidential."

Hearing Li Chengzhi's answer, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. If the technology leaked, they would be in big trouble.

Li Chengzhi saw the shocking appearance of the three people on the field, so he can be sure that Chen Mo probably didn't lie to him: "You guys carefully look at the situation of these materials, and then give me an answer."

"There are some differences in the data." Li Jian, who was relatively calm, said, "There are new formulas in this data, and the theory is also quite different from our existing nuclear fusion theory."

Subconsciously, Wang Nian and Wan Yuanxi looked through the materials in their hands carefully, and there were indeed formulas they had never seen before, and there were more than one formula.

"These formulas? These theories? So it can be solved in this way."

The faces of the two became serious. They didn't look carefully just now, but after looking carefully, they realized the difference.

"Three, now is not the time for research." Li Chengzhi looked at the three who were in deep thought and smiled wryly: "Can you verify the authenticity of this information? And the results of the data?"

"The information is incomplete, and there are new formulas. The theory is also somewhat different from what we have studied. Recalculation and reasoning are required."

The more Li Jian looked at it, the more dignified he was, because this information showed the emergence of new technologies, which may provide new ideas and breakthroughs for the study of nuclear fusion reactions, and accelerate the breakthrough of fusion technology.

"If there is complete data, can you be sure?" Li Chengzhi asked.

"You can try." Li Jian nodded seriously.

Li Chengzhi took out the hard disk that Chen Mo gave him from the safe, and put it on the desk: "The complete data is in this hard disk."

……

Chen Mo knew nothing about Li Chengzhi's overnight flight to the Institute of Plasma Physics in Hui Province to verify the technology.He got up early to wash up, and after breakfast, he left the hotel where he was staying with Lan Xi and Wang Hai.
