Chapter 247 Airport
"President Xie, the bionic robot team has a plan that needs your approval."
"The 'Brave' project team? I gave the Valentin project plenty of freedom. They shouldn't need too many resources now, right?"
Shelev was a little confused. The "Brave" self-learning AI artificial intelligence and the "Warrior" series of humanoid robots were the plans of the cooperation team of the Microelectronics Department and the Light Machinery Department. The authority was relatively high. What trouble could there be?
But after the result came, Shelev's face darkened.
The project team did not want money or technology, but wanted to install or intercept cameras that could see pedestrians in the base and surrounding villages, towns, counties and cities, so that "Brave" could obtain various motion data required for humanoids.
Obviously, this requires at least a vice president-level review to obtain such authority.
Shelev was full of black lines, but did not reject it immediately. Instead, he looked through the video and experimental data of the Warrior 001 test, and his attitude softened a lot.
Although Shelev had acquired enough modern industrial knowledge when he came to 2016, he still highly recognized the performance of Warrior 001.
Frankly speaking, since the concept of robots appeared, there have been various studies proving that the efficiency of making robots in human form is not high, but the research on humanoid robots has continued for so many years.
Because after making robots that look like humans, behave like humans, and can even communicate with humans, humans will have a feeling like the creator, which is something that those messy configurations cannot bring.
Moreover, the advancement of the Warrior series was originally prepared for extraterrestrial landing and scientific research station construction. In such a lonely environment, humanoid robots can play a great role in psychological comfort.
Warrior 001 is now a verification machine, and it does not even have an external power supply. Under the current conditions, if the built-in battery of Warrior 001 is not available in the factory for half an hour, it will run out of power, and the power will be limited.
However, on the moon and Mars, the gravity is only 16% and 38% of the earth respectively, and the burden on the motor and battery is much smaller, especially on the moon. Under such conditions, the existing technology can achieve the basic operating requirements of the robot.
Even so, humanoid robots cannot be put into use on a large scale. It is still an energy problem. Solar cells have great limitations, and conventional batteries have a short battery life. Nuclear batteries... The only ones that can be so small are isotope nuclear batteries, and the power is too small.
However, senior executives such as Shelyov and Lin Ju have high hopes. In addition to assisting human operations, humanoid robots also have the potential to be controlled by humans remotely using VR devices.
At present, of course, the application prospects are not great, but on planets with extremely harsh environments such as Venus and Mercury, if you want to conduct exploration, then humanoid robots are very comfortable to use.
It is precisely because of this importance that Shelyov thought about it and chose to approve it, and then directly gave the robot team authority with his notebook.
After the basic computer control reform, the office was also reformed. Except for a few temporary projects or emergencies, the base is using paperless office as much as possible.
In addition to efficiency, confidentiality is more important. Although the garbage in the base is crushed and destroyed in a centralized manner, it is still not as good as the internal network of "Shanhai" with no blind spots monitoring.
"Shanhai" can do too many things at present. It can handle scientific research tasks sent by researchers, intelligently allocate computing power for calculations, and maintain the network to pay attention to world security changes through the Jingwei satellite network. Recently, it has also added the input of all Xinyuan projects to monitor and correct production plans in real time.
From production planning to finished product management, "Shanhai" can do it in an orderly manner. Every link and every workshop only needs to confirm the production plan through the computer during working hours and complete it on time. The time limit is also formulated according to the actual situation.
This system has been running for more than half a month, and has significantly improved the operating efficiency and shortened the working hours by an average of 12%. It can give employees more rest time, and can also squeeze out when there are urgent production orders to prevent emergencies from disrupting the production plan.
Shelev simply called it OGAS, thinking that if the alliance had this thing back then, N1 would have no problem bombing 40 missiles in a row!
...
Lin Ju's first impression of seeing Musk in person was: This person is so thick.
"Thick" is thick in the physical sense.
Musk is 188cm tall and weighs about 190kg now. He looks much stronger than Lin Ju, who weighs 182 and 150kg, but his chest is the most prominent.
He has a "barrel chest", which usually appears in people who inhale all year round to maintain their posture. The cross-section of the chest is thicker than that of normal people. The chest muscles look exaggerated, but they are actually supported by the skeleton.
This makes the suit worn by Lao Ma look a little tight, and his hair is a little messy now, which is blown by the evening breeze at the airport.
On the evening of September 19, Lao Ma talked in Shanghai for two days, and then landed at Sanya Airport in a 767.
After resting for a night nearby, he took a light twin-engine propeller passenger plane, the Xianzhou 600, and flew to the airport of the Xinyuan Launch Center to land.
At this time, there were still three hours before the launch of the "Mengtian" experimental cabin at 11 o'clock.
The cabin of the Xianzhou 600 was a little noisy, but the small plane was not flying high and the view was good. Musk saw several huge launch towers and recovery sites at the Xinyuan Launch Center before landing.
He landed on Runway 1, which was the first choice for the H1 shuttle to land.
Turning his head to look at the nearly 200-meter-high modified Xinyuan No. 1 launch tower, Musk waved his right hand to a small group of people beside the runway.
"Nice to meet you guys!"
The turboprop engine of the Xianzhou 600 has not stopped yet, making his voice a little unclear, but Lin Ju still responded loudly.
The latter was a little dazed. Lao Ma looked stronger than him. He might not be able to beat him in the octagonal cage!
Musk walked down quickly and shook hands with Lin Ju who was also close.
"Nu howl, neighbor!"
"Hello, Mask, the man who'll go to the Mars!"
"Thanks! But you have gone to the space first! You are a hero!"
This was a simple business exchange. This was the process of Lin Ju and Musk meeting for the first time.
For Lao Ma, his first impression of Lin Ju was very good. The latter wore simple casual pants and work shirts, looking like a young engineer rather than a businessman, which was very similar to himself who called himself "chief engineer of specaX".
And "Donglin" is just as young and looks full of energy, just like Xinyuan, young and powerful.
"Lin, I can't wait to see your huge rocket, I want to see the X3 rocket, and the H1 space shuttle!"
"No problem. It's right here!"
I got up late...
